Chapter 2: Envy
After meeting Moka, a female vampire, Tsukune was now in class, where the teacher was saying some things; the teacher herself was a Youkai as expected, with cat ears. Seems like everyone here is Youkai, and definitely not human, Tsukune observed with silence.
"Hello everyone, and welcome to Youkai Academy. I am your homeroom teacher Shizuka Nekonome; you probably already know that this is a school built for monsters to attend," the teacher stated with a smile. "As the Earth is already under the control of humans, for the sake of our survival, we have no choice but to try and coexist with the humans; this is what you'll be learning here at Youkai Academy," the teacher continued as she pointed at diagrams on the whiteboard of the words 'monsters', 'humans', and 'coexistence'.
Well, at least it isn't anything like trying to make an army of monsters to overthrow the human population, Tsukune thought with a sigh as he glanced around the class.
"For those reasons, you will live all your lives at the academy in human form- this is key for the idea of coexistence with the humans. Never let any of your fellow students know your true form, okay?" the teacher declared sternly.
I just have to keep quiet or lie if they ask me about my 'true form'- but the 'stay as human' rule will be helpful for me then, Tsukune considered with a deep breath.
"Hey teacher, wouldn't it be better for us to eat up the puny humans and in the case of the beautiful girls, molest them," said a scorn-filled voice in front of him. Whooooaaaa, tad bit extreme, Tsukune thought with his eyes slightly widened. The person who'd said this was a stocky-looking guy with brownish hair, and also had piercings on his chin. He definitely looks like a delinquent, he thought with a slight smirk.
"Incidentally, there are no humans in this school- if humans were to enter and find out about us, then we will bring them death… or something," the teacher stated with a smile and her arms pointing to the air.
Good thing I came here prepared, he thought with a sigh of relief as he gazed at the weapons hidden in his pockets and under his hoodie. But seriously?! Why are the governments giving us so many of these covert operations- why not just talk to the Youkai face-to-face? Tsukune thought with a shake of the head.
"'Scuse me! Sorry, I got lost, and so I'm late," said a quiet voice as a slim pink-haired girl walked into the classroom.
"Oh a cute one- that's fine, take a seat," the teacher responded with a smile.
After hearing a familiar voice, Tsukune was awakened from his thoughts to see the girl; hey, that's Moka… yessssss! He cheered in his head, mirroring what the other males in the classroom were doing. However, rather than being quiet about it, the boys stood up and started jumping and etc. Many of them kept on repeating lines such as: 'she's hot', 'I'm happy to be in the same class as this girl', 'whoa beautiful'. Many of the boys were in awe basically.
"Mo… Moka?" Tsukune said with slight surprise; who'd have thought we'd be in the same class?
"Huh? Tsukune?... It's Tsukune- we're in the same class!" she shouted happily as she hugged/tackled Tsukune. All the while, Tsukune was just glancing around, seeing the venomous stares of the male population, and shock as well.
"What's with this guy? What relation does he have to her?"
"Our beautiful girl!"
"I'm even more desperate than before now…"
As one would be able to tell, many of the boys had now fallen to a stage of depression and denial; Tsukune just smiled slightly, it was quite humorous. He didn't notice Saizou licking his lips in a lustful manner at the sight of Moka.
This isn't as bad as I thought it would be… Tsukune thought at the sight of Moka leading him around. All around him though, he could see the blushing and envious faces of the guys, their focus all on Moka & himself. Many of them were pointing, and also gave off a strong killing intent… all aimed at Tsukune. He could even hear their disturbing whispers.
"That bastard better leave… if not, then let's kill him now,"
"Boil up the oil, we'll give him a fry-up,"
"I'll take the arm, you take the legs, leave the head behind…"
Tsukune could just ignore these… for now anyways. Then he was met by the sight of the chin piercing guys (Saizou), looming dangerously over both Tsukune & Moka.
"Hmmm, a pretty one. Salutations, I am your classmate Saizou Komiya. You are the one called Moka Akashiya? By the way, why are you associating yourself with a lowly guy like this? Are your standards low?" Saizou grinned with arrogance as he picked up Tsukune.
So tempting to kick this guy's ass- he's so full of hot air, that I should get a needle to burst it. Buuutttt, let's keep our abilities to ourselves for now- don't want people to start asking questions, Tsukune thought with a moment's consideration. Additionally, he could also hear the murmurs of the others as they spoke about the criminal behaviours of Mr Saizou; especially the part about his sexual activities with human women. This guy's just bad news, Tsukune thought with a quiet sigh.
"So, with a superior guy like me, why don't we out and have some fun- just the two of us?" Saizou said with a grin as he stood over Moka.
"I'm sorry! I'm having fun with Tsukune now!" Moka stated in panic as she grabbed Tsukune's hand and ran off away from the imposing Saizou.
"Hmpf, just watch, I never allow a nice woman like you to escape…" he declared with an evil smile.
Catching their breaths, Tsukune & Moka stopped next to some stairs. "Moka, why are you so friendly with me? Even though we barely know eachother and am kinda worthless…" Tsukune asked with a worried smile.
"Don't say that Tsukune! You're not worthless to me, you're very important. Besides… we're on blood-sucking terms," she said with a blush as Tsukune fell. I guess everyone has his or her own agendas- but I feel like food, he thought with a drop of sweat. Your blood's the best, it's grade A- it's better than anything from the transfusion packs. Everything in it is in a perfect balance," she said with a cute smile.
"Thanks… I guess…" Tsukune replied awkwardly; that wasn't really a compliment, or was it?
"It's my first time, Tsukune… you're the first person whose body I've fed from- I'll never forget the feeling. It's so embarrassing… let's go check the academy some more," she said as she shoved him with her supernatural strength.
"Damn, these vampires are strong- she still doesn't know I'm human. I'll probably have to keep quiet about that for now," Tsukune stated to himself, first looking at the cracked wall, then glancing up to the roof. That Saizou guy might be trouble though… we evaded him the first time, but he'll be back. I'll hand him his ass as 'a puny human', then we'll see, he thought considering his next courses of action. He wrapped bandages around his muscular and checked his weapons as he followed Moka.
Hey guys, second chapter. It's a bit slow-paced I agree, but I don't want to miss out too many things from the manga. Thanks for the support- I really wasn't expecting it hah. I'm not too great at writing I guess, but oh well.
Thanks to the guest review and TheRightWay; TheRightWay: Tsukune isn't average- in the first chapter I did say that Tsukune is more than just average and has had a lot of training. As for the case of taking on Alucard, sure he's human, but there is a long time scale between currently in the fanfic and actually fighting Alucard. I understand other people are also thinking this, but Tsukune will grow stronger and stuff. I decided to keeo Tsukune as a human because I think it shows more of his struggle and also his capability to fight head-to-head with superior beings to humans. I hope I answered some questions people might have had.
Please review if you can, and if there are questions or anything, feel free to ask. I'll try and update in the upcoming weekend.
