Konton: welcome did you miss me?

Mizu:...No...

Konton:you thought about it, you truly did miss. I'm so happy.

Mizu: Ignore this idiot. We are truly sorry about the delay. I do believe Konton ate something bad for lunch though.

Konton: you're more likely to eat something bad.


Chapter Two

"we're here" says Isa kicking me awake. I groggily look around. I sniff around and smell so much blood. I've never smelled this much, I might go on a rampage. I also sense a lot of magic wait I sense necromancy as well. I guess there's advantages to being a vampire as well as disadvantages.

"why do you have to kick me awake?" I ask. I notice that I don't have my hands tied. So this is one of the great city, Irasi. It is indeed splendid to think that there's a city even more splendid.

"because you have to take whatever life throws at you even when waking up" he says smiling. In other words he just wanted to kick me. Well whatever the means an eye for an eye. I kick him off the wagon.

"Hey that was rude!" Isa complains. What right did he have when it came to complaining I was minding my own business sleeping and then he suddenly kicks me.

"But you were the one who suddenly kicked me for no reason at all, at least I had a reason compared to you." I state matter of factly, dear god I am starting to sound like him now.

"I'm the adult that's reason enough" he says proudly. More like a dictator. I then notice a comedy troop nearby.

"Ok my friend if you need a compass rose on a map just look to Miraev, they seem to have it down." The jester jokes. A mediocre joke but I'll give them an A for effort.

"I have a better one" I say walking up to the group. They turn their heads to face me.

"By all means go ahead" says the jester.

"I once found a plat diot, I dove for it. I once found a plat emot, I ran for it. I once a plat toji, I snatched it right up. I once found a plat teb I walked by, no need to grab a ticket to hell." I say. They burst into laughter.

I should probably scout the city so that I know where all of the pretty girls are. I am a vampire so I needed blood and blood from good looking girls always tasted the best, besides I also get to flirt with cute girls.

It seems Isa has left me to my fun while he gets me set up for school and all that, I told him I wanted to live at school but not any school. I mean the ones with the good looking suits that helped you pick up girls, as you could probably tell he was all for that plan.

I continue going around the outside section which is just simple farmland, there are a bit of cute girls but not too many. After that I go into the outer layer of Irasi, there is a good amount of cute girls. I finally reach the inner section of Irasi, which is the inner most part if you exclude the castle, and meet a ton of cute girls. I was going to enjoy the capital of Voma to its fullest.

"Erik looking for trouble, I am going to show you around your new school now." Isa calls out to me, of course he had to ruin my fun. Well I guess after these few months of travel I have started to gain this persona of being a fun loving guy. I start to rub the back of my head and laugh it off while walking to Isa. The crowd obviously doesn't think of me as a calculating person because they just go back to what they were doing.

"You better behave, I don't have time to be keeping you in line." Isa warns me, of course I won't behave in school as I have never been confined in one small place for that long before. I guess all you have to endure is the itching to jump out of your seat and scream at the top of your lungs while the teacher gives this boring lecture on something you already know.

"Yes sir!" I say with my new found grin, Isa… Isa… Isa… you have taught evil ways to me on our journey. Isa gives me his worried grin, yup he knows I will be a trouble maker.

"This is your room, get your roommate to show you around as he has the same classes as you." Isa says promptly before leaving. The guy in priest robes turns around and gives me a smile. He has lightly long blond hair and blue eyes, his staff looks like it is made out of old wood and has a gray gem on the top.

"Ah, hi my name is Aberto." He says setting down the staff in the trunk by the bed. He then heads to the dresser and opens a cabinet. Grabbing nightclothes and placing them into the open cabinet.

"My name is Erik." I say walking to the other bed. I put my trunk at the edge of the bed and flop onto the bed. Looking around I notice that it's small, has only one entrance, and a small window. That makes two exists. A good fortress if I say so myself.

"let's go view the school, I heard there are a lot of cute girls" he says. I think we can be good friends. But first I have to get rid of that stupid ward on the door. It keeps buzzing. The ward is meant to keep undead or vampires from crossing it but sadly it is weak compared to me and just simply annoys me. The one at the church is stronger, I have to get permission to enter it first before entering. Ii bet this is just a small cross infused with a charm and seeing as how I can't see it must be above the door. I jump and grab the ward hidden above the door. Taking an end in each hand I snap it in two. "What are you doing?"

"getting rid of the annoyance." I state throwing the pieces out the window. Aberto runs to the window and leans over. Looking at his face, he's distraught. Well I had to do what I had to do. With that I walk out of the room smiling.

"you're crazy, you know that." He says catching up with me. I turn the corner and see a group of students leaning over to look at paper. They then turn to look at us. Why am I getting a sense of foreboding.

"I might be crazy but I think we should run." I say turning around to see a girl behind us. How did this girl get behind me without me noticing at all. I look at her features, she has a cutting board chest, long dark black hair, green eyes, cute face, boring hips, nice legs, she is also holding a notebook.

"hey mind having some fun with us?" the guy closest to us says. Me and the girl turn around and start running away but sadly Aberto doesn't seem to get the memo and gets trapped by the mob.

"Erik save me, please I am begging you!" Aberto yells trying to crawl his way out of the mob. I look at the girl, she stares at me.

"I say we just leave him to his own demise." I reason, she just stares at me some more. Should I add or take away points for being quiet? Well at least she is calm and not noisy.

"if you don't save me you will be charged for murder!" Aberto says in a last ditch effort to persuade us. I guess I should save him, I look around and see a staff on the ground probably being left behind by the girl when she sensed danger.

"We should help him." I say dragging to girl along by the hand, normally I wouldn't do this but 2 versus 9 isn't easy and I was lazy at the moment.

"seems they came back to save their friend." says the guy who seems to be the ring leader. Most likely they'll run if I take him out.

"all we want a friendly little duel" says say a minion. Taking into consideration about his proposal of a little friendly duel I figure out I don't like them. It's like they're threatening me.

"ai' I'a anaiaozwunai woa nacyo'znuncyi eaunlaula" I speak. If he speaks the language he'll understand it meant do you understand the necromancy language.

"iaz y ai'" he says. Translating that means yes I do. The necromancy language is a bit ruff if not effective.

"speak common tounge here, not in riddles" the ringleader says. If he could speak it he'd know that I didn't say a riddle.

"ilai nirs suhu" I say in ulvian tounge. The neat thing about what I just said was you must die or you must live. At this point I am just annoying him.

[Eaaw's vaazw zwycyku ui ywo nacyo'znucyi unai law woyz'xao uiywi...] the girls notebook says when I look back. If we translate this it means let's just stick to necromancy and get this over with.

"ok we accept your little duel." I say because Aberto is pretty much gasping for air and well the girl obviously can't speak. Actually I need to get her name.

"what is your name by the way?" I ask the girl, she just looks at me and flips to the next page in her notebook and shows me it.

[it's izanami] izanami's notebook says. Izanami, nice name but I must question the lineage of said name. we walk towards an arena, it has warding papers on the side but impractical if you are trying to get them set up in a fight.

We line up, Aberto is currently checking up the staff that we picked up in the hall. It is a really simple but clean staff with a brown gem on the top. I wonder what magic this item specializes in. I pull out my katana from its sheath. My katana has the ability to nullify magic, Isa… Isa… Isa… the only person I would know with this type of weapon. It also allows me to tell lies from the truth and a bit of other unimportant stuff.

Izanami has put down her notebook and has… paper out. I guess she is a warder, this is totally impractical right now. First she needs to write them and then seal them before she can use them. But those wards are totally fresh and aren't being used.

The ref starts the match and izanami runs past me patting me on the back. What the hell is she crazy? Never mind I have to deal with the three people who decided I was their target namely the ring leader and two minions.

They seem confident as they are just walking up to me swords, spears, and shields in hand. I stand there assessing the situation. Aberto is doing ok sending blasts of magical binds towards three people obviously finding it hard to progress, he mixes in some fire balls for the fun of it I guess. I look back at the three idiots they are now just staring at me, I hope the school doesn't teach people to fight like this, I am embarrassed.

I look at izanami who apparently is blowing stuff up with wards that she had stashed somewhere? Who knows with her. Suddenly the ring leader takes a slash at me with his board sword, I dodge it.

"guess I have to fight you guys sometime today." I say coming back in with a stabbing at him but he fall over. Not the most graceful of dodges but he makes up for it by sweeping me off my feet. But being me I push my hands on the floor and catapult myself into the air. Landing behind one of the minions I butt his head with the blunt side of my sword.

"you're going to regret ever doing that." says the other minion. With that he charges at me thrusting with his spear.

"I never regret anything." I say dodging his spear and succoring it in half. Valiantly he attacks with the remainder of his spear that's more of a stick. Suddenly they look around like idiots. I stand perfectly still realizing what happened. Unfortunately Aberto wasn't quick enough and they sent a flying stick towards him. He ducks down but now even with the crude invisibility ward they still can see him.

"unless your friends help you you're doomed" the ringleader boasts. Not that he's much of a fighter. Looking at izanami who's sipping tea annoys me. I guess I've held onto this fight too long. I lunge at the two minions near me and slash at their backs. Thankfully they live because of their magical shields but they're defiantly knock out. I'm done.

"finally one left" says Aberto puffing. He points the staff at the ringleader and suddenly a mini tornado appears. I don't know should be proud or embarrassed. I'll give him a point for making a tornado the size of a person.

"I give up" the ringleader says. Don't give up now I want to punish you for wasting my time. I walk up to the ringleader and grab him.

"why did you attack us?" I ask. There better be a good reason or I'll kill him.

"this paper said to attack the next group of people we saw" he says handing a paper. I read through and at the end I see it's commissioned by the library. Isa... Isa... Isa… you're so dead when I see you.

Just there is clapping at the door and I see Isa and the principal of our school standing at the door obviously they had watched our match.

"see I told you they were promising." Isa says, just then a curved dagger implants itself in the door next to Isa, I believe it is a Karambit. He nervously laughs, izanami you get another point for your ability to throwing daggers at amazing moments. "Though I must say she is quite scary."

"not as scary as when I get my hands on you." I say standing right in front of Isa using the smile he used against me two years ago when I was 11.

"it seems I have business to attend to in the library!" Isa blurts out running out of the door. For a second everybody just stares at where Isa use to be.

"yes I do believe you guys are quite promising I will be sure to group you guys up when I send you guys on quests." the principal says earning himself a dagger imbedded in the door right next to him, izanami probably doesn't like anything that uses her inside of a plan.

"Maybe I should go check on Isa it seems something urgent must have happened if he has to work on his day off! It must be that our new history teacher arrived early" the principal says in a rush, in normal schools the principal would have all the power but in this school obviously the principal had to know when to back down because this was a highest magical arts school in Voma and along with that title was a bunch of capable fights, of course there were idiots like the ones we just fought that belonged to rich families thus were able to get into the school without skills but that's why the principal had to judge the situation for himself. If I had just said that all I probably would have ran out of breath midway.

"So Aberto let's go flirt with some cute gals" I say turning around just in time to see a dagger fly right past me. Suddenly a shoe hits me in the head, she misses with a dagger yet decides a shoe is not dangerous enough to miss with?! Outrageous!

"Can'tch ya act more lady like?!" I yell. This girl knows how to have a temper unrivaled by her competitors. She just walks past me picking up her shoe and ignoring her daggers. I look towards Aberto and he shrugs.

"You angered her not me and anyway let's get on with the flirting!" Aberto cheerfully says, yes something that makes sense. Aberto and I head out the door. Today's events were most defiantly unique so far.

Once we head out the door people instantly stare at us, I guess Aberto's white robe uniform and my black regular uniform stand out a lot. I see two cute girls looking out way and giggling. Targets found.

"Hey gals how are you doing on this fine evening?" I ask giving them a big smile. They look towards me and Aberto and giggle one more time. Well I was getting something to eat this evening other than this inedible food that Vomains eat; actually it does taste better than the ones from the orphanage.

Are you forgetting about me? Yes there was always that voice lurking around in the back of my mind no matter how much I tried to ignore it. Well at least it won't ruin my mood tonight.


Konton:Yeah, he finally makes his cameo.

Mizu:...They don't even know who he is yet.

Konton:Well I know and that is all that counts. Now I am about to plot the death of a couple of characters. Finally REVENGE!

Mizu:...
