At the canteen, Judai along with Mark with his friends Lester and Kopper were eat together in one table.
" So, how was the exam? " Lester asked
" Seems pretty great. At first, exams are quite very boring but in the end I learned to be a responsible and hardworking student. " Judai responded
" Who told you that, Mr Judai? " Kopper asked
" One of the former professor of the school, Daitokuji-sensei. He was very gentle to everyone but he was ended up vanished away. " Judai said
" Huh? But why? " Mark asked
" It was a long story. But I still remember when he told me that keep on going until you will reached to your path in the future. That's was one of the best quote that he ever said it. He was the teacher in chemistry and alchemy and he knows about legends and mythologies. " Judai stated
" Wow! legends and mythologies? That's was my favorite subject ever. Your professor was so great. I hope he had inspired you a lot, Mr Judai. " Lester said
" Thanks " Judai said, with a smiling expression

" No way! I was been in the first place?! I can't believe it. "
And the entire students congratulated him however Mercier, was not happy that he was placed on the second place, and he was very envious of him, that he had stole the first place from him.
After the class, Judai tagged along with Lester, Mark and Copper went of the school entrance.
" Congratulations, Mr Judai. I can't believe that you are the first top place in the entire examination. " Lester said
" Your Welcome " Judai said, with a smiling expression

" You will become a teacher? Wow! That's was so amazing, Mr Judai. " Kopper said, in amazement
" I'm so very impressed of you. The head principal said that you are the most prominent out of one hundred well known students from across the world. I guess you will be promoted in a higher position. " Lester stated
" By the way, shall you treated us at your auntie place? I'm getting so hungry. " Kopper asked
" Don't worry, guys. I will treated you guys foods for free. " Judai responded
" Really? Thanks a lot, Mr Judai. You are so very kind person. " Lester said
" Your Welcome, after all, I was always to helped others who are surrounded me. " Judai stated
" So, shall we headed then? " Mark asked
" Of course " Judai said
As they were went out of the school, Mercier confronted them.
" Well! Well! Congratulations, Mr Judai Yuki of Duel Academia from Japan. " he said with amusement, clapped both of his hands
" What is your business here, Mercier-san? " Judai asked
" Yeah, Yeah, Mercier. Just back off! We don't need you here. " Lester told him
" I never thought that young men from Asian are not too very smart than the American and other foreign students in this school. Since you have came here, you have been became one of the well popular of the entire school and you are always in first place in every subjects. From that very moment, I was so very envious of you because... you have stole my reputation from me! That's was your fault! " Mercier said, in anger
" Hold on, I had never stole anything from you. I have been studied hard in order to get my first scholarship. It was my passion and dedication in order to passed with flying colors. It was your fault that you are envious towards yourself is because you wanted to take back that you wanted to be, a former top first place student. Just accepted of the final results, don't ever minded me because I don't always to be involved in every other people's business. " Judai said to him
" Don't ever to mocked me just like that. an Asian student just like you will don't ever belonged here in this school university. You are such a weak person. " Mercier said, as he tried to punched him
" Listen, Mercier. Don't ever treated just like that. As an Asian person, I wanted to become fair to everyone else, not to tolerated and hurt them because well smarted American just like you with a bad personality and besides, don't ever called me a weak or a fool because I'm more braver than you do. " Judai said
" That's the spirit, Mr Judai. " Mark said
" Don't dare me to say that! " Mercier shouted, as he tried to attempt to punched him
But suddenly someone shouted from the distance " Don't ever hurt Mr Judai Yuki, Mr Mercier. "
Judai, was surprised in shocked of the mysterious voice.
" No way... it couldn't be... "
It was no other than Miss Carrina, who was standing in the center.
" Miss Carrina?! " Mercier wondered in surprise
" Why she does doing here anyway? " Lester asked the two
" Mhmm... " Mark uttered, shrugged himself
Miss Carrina, approached to him, and she scolded Mercier " Mr Mercier, this is the second time that you have been tolerated a brand new student from other schools. It was against the law rule of discrimination. If you do that again for the third and final time, you will get expelled from this school university, do you understand?! "
" Yes, Miss Carrina. I'm so very sorry. " Mercier apologize
" Go home now " Miss Carrina told him
And Mercier leaved away.
" What a disgraceful he is... " Carrina said, with impatient expression
Then, she turned to Judai and the others.
" Thanks a lot, Miss Carrina. " Lester said
" No problem. It was my responsibility to protect the privacies of every new students from across the world. " Miss Carrina responded
" I see. You are so very grateful to us, Miss Carrina. " Mark said
When she turned to Judai, his face was still anger in disappointment.
" So, where are you guys going? " Miss Carrina asked
" In the restaurant over there at the corner street. His relative was the owner so Mr Judai treated us three for free foods to eat. " Kopper responded
" Oh, I see about that. See you all again tomorrow? " Miss Carrina asked
" We will " Mark said
And Miss Carrina left. As she walks out, She felt that she was very guilty to Judai because of what she had done to him a long time ago.
Later at the coffee shop, Judai, was not in a mood, still in disappointment expression. His friends noticed his reaction.
" Is something wrong, Mr Judai? " Kopper asked him, in curiosity
" Yeah, even though that she was the one who saved us from that stupid Mercier. " Lester said
" Is because of what happened from before? " Mark asked
" Even though that she saved anyone, I will still not forgive her ever, because of what she had done to me. This pain and heartache that I feel... that she had totally abandoned me all alone... she didn't do anything to saved me from before, not even once... I will still not forgive her. " Judai said in response
" We understand of what you feel, but you have to forgive her. I'm sure that you will accepted her that way even though she had made a huge mistake to you. " Mark told him
" Yeah, you have to give her a second chance to show on how much she has cares for you, that's all. " Kopper said to him, insisted
" The only way to forgive someone else is to asked yourself first before you can do anything or to make a move. " Lester said
Despite of his friends advices to him, he thought to himself that he will never ever forgive her despite of the huge mistake that she had done. Before he could went asleep, he looks at the mirror, undressed himself, wearing the Osiris Red uniform, facing it, shown how exactly he was very different person, the former cheerful and headstrong duelist, was from 3 years ago. He still remember of what his pet Jerry Mouse told him when he was in second year. He had told this:
" Love was very so complicated. If the person wanted tried to forgive you for the mistake that he / she had done to you from before, tried to asked yourself if you wanted to forgive the person or not? If you don't accepted it, it will be too late to turned back. Balanced both your heart and mind and think wisely. "
After he recalled on his mind of what Jerry said to him, he thought that " Should I forgive her or not?..." holding his locket necklace, through his hand, placing on his chest
On the other hand at the vampire castle lair, Carrina (Larmina) returned back. Her older sister, Marga, approached to her.
" Welcome home, Sis. " she greeted
" What do you want this time? " Larmina asked, with a coldly expression
" Oh, silly me, Sis. I was just asking you and besides you are still living in the human world, aren't you? " Marga responded
" Of course not, I'm still living in the human world is because I wanted to lived the ways as a normal human person does. I will still gonna teached them some of the lessons that they didn't know. So, will you mind if you shut your mouth? I need to take a rest. " Larmina told her, tried to went in to her room
" Besides that, you still wanted to see your special someone, you know... that human young man, named Judai Yuki, isn't it? " Marga asked
Larmina, stopped walking, in silence, was surprised when she mentioned his name.
" I know that you wanted to see him again, aren't you? Is because that he was looked like the one whom you loved with from the past, Mino De Valle. I had already told you that you will never see him again and now you are now started to disobeyed me. "
" I don't want to followed an order from you, Sis. I will do anything as I wanted to be and besides that I will never do the same suffer fate 3 years ago when I left him all along. I wanted to see him happy again, just like from the past. "
" Oh, it's that so, Sis. Well then, I'll ordered you to killed him. "
" What?! to killed him?! Sis, that's was not necessary! "
" Why? Is because that you loved him so very much? He was one of the primary targets that you wanted to killed with but you had spared him from before. But this time, you have to obeyed my order, as the superior ruler of the vampires. "
" But, Sis... I... "
She gave it to her, the red poison powder drink bottle.
" Just placed on the glass with a water and then placed the powder. And you will make sure that he will falled deep asleep. If he was already dead, sucked his blood and placed him in the underground, just make sure that no one can see you. That's an order, got that? "
And Marga left the room. Larmina, as she hold the bottle in her hand, thought in her mind that if she hurt Judai again just like in the past, she will gonna become very insane of herself, to killed the only human man that she truly loves with. She doesn't want to hurt the man whom she truly loves the most, despite of her sister's evil desires to killed him.
Instead of following of her sister's order to killed him, she placed the bottle away on the old box which it was owned by her father a long decades ago, then she covered with a widened towel so that no one can able to get it. After that, she went back to her room, to take a rest.
The next day at the school university, as Judai was about went to the classroom, Carrina approached to him.
" Um, Senorito Judai. "
He turned to her, asked " Yes, what do you want, Carrina-san? "
" Shall I speaked to you in a private? "
" Sorry, I'm about to go in to the classroom, okay? I will gonna talked to you after the class. " as he tried to walked away
" Come on, just for a moment, please... just in my office, so that no one can sees or heard us. "
He stopped walking, paused for a moment and after a second, he responded " Fine with me but not too long, okay? "
" I will "
And so, Carrina lead Judai to her office. But unbeknownst to them, Carrina's (Larmina's) husband, Marco, saw them from behind the walls, was jealous in rage that his wife was hanging out with someone else. His bat minions asked him.
" So, what's the plan? If your wife finds out that you are spying on them, she will gonna killed you. " the first bat minion asked
" You have to keep eye on them. " Marco told them
" Why not, Sire? " the second bat minion asked in curiosity
" I will make sure that she will never disobeyed me and I will killed her only secret boyfriend affair... that pesky human brat. " Marco said, in an envious manner
" As you wish, Sire. " the third bat minion said and the bat minions left away
" How dare to disgrace me just like that, Larmina. You are still fall in love to that young man that you have been arranged marriage with from before. I won't let to be together again... and I will make sure that I killed him by my own hands and you will forget him ever again. " with an evil smile on his face and then he vanished away
In the office, the two went in and then Judai placed down his backpack on the floor. After that, he asked her " So, what thing that you wanted to asked me, Carrina-san? "
She removed her glasses, placed at the table desk, then she turned to him, said in response " There is something that I wanted to say to you that you didn't know about. "
Judai, was confused of what she said, asked her " What are you talking about? You wanted to tell me something that you didn't tell to everyone. "
And that very moment, she transformed into her vampire form in front of him, making him to shocked in horror.
" No way... are you... a... "
" Yes, it is, Judai. My real name was Countess Larmina Blois De Blacken, the secondary ruler of the vampire clan. "
" But... I don't understand... " and then his facial expression turned anger in rage, asked " I don't understand! Why you didn't tell me from the first place that you are a royal vampire? "
" Is because of my sister's order that no one can able to close contact with other human beings and so every vampires selected every human target, in thirst for blood. You are my primary target that my sister Marga ordered me. But I spared your life from the moment that I met you many years ago. "
" So that why you have left me because of that?! "
" No, not only that. The tradition culture of every royal vampire member should be married to a fellow royal vampire from the other kingdoms. That's the reason why I didn't go back in the human world is because my sister told me that it was forbidden to go in the human world ever again. I was married to a royal vampire man, named Marco. I had lived with him for years ago. "
" Is that why... is that why... you have abandoned me at that time of our arranged marriage? "
" Exactly it is, even though I was married to someone else. My love was still belonged to you, Judai, nothing else. "
" Do you think that I will accepted your forgiveness? It was too late to turned back from the past. After all, you have hurt me too much. After you have left me, my life was put at risk is because of what you did to me! "
" I didn't mean it that to. But this time, I will give an another chance to take care of you and to loved you just like in the past. I won't do anything reckless ever again. please, I begged of you... "
And the two looked at each other, in different facial expressions. That moment, Judai recalled on his mind of what had Mark, Lester and Kopper even Jerry said to him. After he recalled everything on his mind and then he responded with a deep breath " If you say so, then I will accepted you again. "
" Do you really think so? "
" Yes, but don't ever do anything recklessly to me, okay? "
" I will be. I will vowed that my love for you will never changed forever. "
That very moment, their faces get near to each other and they shared a kiss.
Later after the class, Carrina took Judai back to the home of his auntie. But unbeknownst to them, the two bat minions are watching them from the rooftop. A sudden, Marco appeared in, asked " So, where will they are going? "
" I don't know, Sire. I think your wife was really attracted to that young man that she was longing to see him again from the past. " the first bat minion said in response
" So, what's the next move, Sire? Shall we reported that to Queen Marga? " the second bat minion asked
" She had totally denied me at all. After those years that I loved her, She was thinked nothing on her mind but that young man that she truly loves with. I won't allowed it that to happened! " Marco said, with anger and jealousy
" So, what's will be your next plan, Sire? " the first bat minion asked him
As the days goes by, the broken relationship between Carrina and Judai from the past was been repaired once again and they started to be in love once again after all those years that it was completely too dark.
The next Friday, Carrina asked him if he wanted to come with her on a date. Then, he asked permission from his auntie.
His auntie responded " Okay, I will allowed you to go out for the night with her. "
" Really? "
" Yes, but make sure that you will returned home safe and sound. Your parents and your friends will might be so worried about you. "
" Don't need to be worried about me. I will be fine, really. "
" If you say so, just called me if you need some help, okay? "
" I will, auntie! "
" Be careful out there. "
After he had asked permission from his auntie, he went along with Carrina at her second hand black car.
" So, where are we going? "
" It was depends on you. "
" Okay, then. How about in Texas City? "
" Sure thing, you loved to traveled in every places, don't you? "
" That's was my favorite hobby routine. My first travel was with my pets Tom and Jerry along with my friends from Duel Academia, having a vacation trip in Domino City when I was in second year grade. "
" Okay, you say so. "
And the two are looking at each other, in a romantic manner then the car rode off away from the coffee restaurant.
But unbeknownst to them, Marco was spying on them, watching behind the walls, hatching an secret evil plan to separate Larmina and Judai.
He transform into his bat form and he flew away, followed them from the farther distance.

" Forgiveness was very hard. We are all we made the biggest mistakes that we have done to our beloved ones. Just keep in mind that you should asked yourself first and seek advice from the people whom they have the huge knowledge about some problems issues and solutions in the society. Then, accepted the person again with all your heart and mind. Make sure that it will be both balanced together, not to break it. "
