My System & My Academy of Superpowers - Chapter 365

“Ryan, do you remember what Stanley said?” Devon turned to Ryan, “Do you remember he said that a vampire has run away from the household?”

“Yes, that time,”

“He said that it was a pure vampire, it was from the Japanese household,”

“Go ahead,” Ryan stopped petting Saori’s ahead.

“She is the one!” Devon pointed at Saori, “She is the one who ran away from her family! She is the pure vampire who ran away!”

Ryan was left shocked, at first, he found it hard to believe but it was the truth at last.

“Oh god, Darell even told us that the vampire council is now searching for this girl, I am sure of it. She is the one who ran away and came to Tokyo,” Devon staggered.

“Wait,” Ryan pushed Saoir off him and got up, “Are you sure she is from a vampire household?”

“Ryan, take a look at this girl,” Devon pointed again, “She is not older than the age of twenty, I would not be surprised if she is the same as yours, but still, we are sure that she is a pure vampire. This confirms the fact that a pure vampire ran away.

“If she is a vampire, she lives in Aceved, clear again. Then… the finally part, her surname, Asakawa. I know cause I am sure of it. One of the eight families, strongest Japanese household in Aceved, the Asakawas.”

“Saori-san?” Ryan glanced at Saori who was still sobbing, “Is it true?”

“Well, Devon, you better tell us who the pure vampire was,” Darell words, “You see, a pure vampire has run away from Aceved and now the council is behind her. So if you avoid us somehow, you would not be able to hide your vampire if the council steps in.”

“We do not know about anyone like that,” Brandon protested.

“Are you sure? Cause a Japanese pure vampire has run from Aceved, and the person is from one of the eight families.”

Devon gulped hard as he continued walking away from Saori.

“Hey, does not that mean we are in deep trouble?” Gwen hesitated, “If you want to protect her, Ryan, then not only her family but who will have to fight the whole council, I can not let you do it,” Gwen interrupted.

“Shh, calm down, Gwen,” Ryan gestured Gwen to stop where she was.

“Saori-san, why did not you tell us about it?”

“Uhm?” she lifted her head, “W- well, I- I thought you would get scared of me and would not let me drink your blood anymore,”

“Well, I can not let you drink my blood anymore. Every time you do, you inject your venom in me,”

“How are you still a human then?” she looked away.

“Thanks to my healing and regenerating power,”

“Yep! Master has amazing regeneration abilities!” Ayami jumped.

“Wait, how do you know?” Gwen frowned.

“Well, that is because-”

“Ugh, look, Saori-san,” Ryan interrupted, “Are you serious?”

“I mean, see! You are already scared of me! You will not protect me anymore!” she started crying, “I was scared of this happening, I was scared!”

‘Is she really 26?’ Ryan’s eyebrows twitched.

“Asakawa, right?” Devon looked tense, “Yep. she is the one,” he repeated, “Why would she run away?”

“Saori-san, calm down,” Ryan picked her up, “Tell me about your family. I need to know more,”

“Uhm,” she sobbed, “Hm,” she nodded, “Sure.” She replied.

“Shit, your parents and the council are already on the move… what can we do now?”

“See?” Do not cry, “You can not do anything! Let me die already!” She screamed. “You can not do anything, the only option is for me to die. That will keep everyone safe,”

“Alright, if that is what you want, I will kill you,” Ryan stretched out his arm, “Gwen,” she stepped forward and handed Ryan his katana.

“Huh?” Saori stepped back, “N-no!”

“Why not? Do you not want to die my hands?” Ryan stretched out his katana, “Bye, Saori-san,”

“Aaah!” she let out another scream. Ryan’s katana stopped midair with a loud sound before hitting her.

She lifted her hands to protect her from Ryan’s attack, she created a shield around her, “D- do not… do not, do not,” she continued chanting.

“That was fun,” Ryan handed back his katana, “I am not killing you, Saori-san,” she turned around.

“You pervert!” she shouted and started hitting Ryan, “Idiot, idiot, idiot!” and cried, of course, she did.

“We will get stronger, Saori-san, we will protect you. If I have to, I will even perish the whole council,” Ryan grunted, “For some reason, I do not want you to cry anymore,” she stopped suddenly, “I will get stronger,”

“Do not be stupid, Ryan,” Devon stepped in, “You know it better how strong and powerful the council can be and is. You know how a normal vampire, like Brandon, can be when he’s angry, now imagine what a Dracul level vampire will be when they see their daughter with a human,”

“W- who is this man? Why does he know so much about our world?”

“Cause he is a runaway too. He is from Aceved, the name is Devon Bostick,” Ryan told.

“Bostick…?”

“Yes,” Devon nodded, “You might already know me,”

“Wait… the one whose father cheated with a human and you were born–”

“I prefer you do not speak anything further,” Ryan pointed to his katana, “And this time, I am not doing it for fun,” his eye was dead serious. Saori shuddered.

“I- I am sorry. That is just the way everyone remembers him in Aceved… everybody thinks he is tied up somewhere in a dungeon… but here he is, alive.”

“I do not care if you are from a strong household or not, or if you are a vampire princess, but if you say anymore, I will cut your head,”

“And… you said you will protect me, ironic, Ryan-san,” she sobbed with a smile.

“If you spout any nonsense about my friends, I will torment you and torture you till death. Does not matter if you are a pure vampire,”

“….you really underestimate vampires, Ryan-san, I think you will be able to protect me somehow.”

“If you give me a reason to,”

“I thought you liked my story,”

“Not now, cause you kept your identity a secret, give me a reason to trust and protect you. That is the rule we follow in our group,”

For a second, Ryan had already considered her as a part of his group but now, she was already out of his group.

“If that is what my master wants-!”

“Seriously stop with that, Ayami, call me Ryan-Kun like you used to,”

“Sure… master Ryan-Kun,”

“It is annoying, Ayami-san,”

“Ryan-Kun then,”

“Now, Saori-san, I am sorry for pointing a weapon at you, but please understand,” Ryan deactivated his weapon.

Saori dropped her head down and started thinking, ‘…I can not let them kill Ryan-Kun, I would not be able to drink blood anymore,’ she thought, ‘I will have to kill myself before they find me. Ryan-Kun is no match for them, and he clearly does not understand it although America’s top family’s second tier is telling him so,’

Saori continued muttering to herself in her mind. ‘What can I do? Will I have to suppress my feelings for this human-vampire?’ Saori gulped, ‘Shoo, what feelings?? I am 26, he is 16. I am ten years older, he will grow older but I would not- if I lived that is,’

‘And just because I strangely like his blood, it does not mean he can be my one and only vampire hubby. We can not become special. We are not soulmates.’ she continued telling herself.

‘And.’ she pouted, ‘He is a three, no, four-timer.’ she snorted, ‘But it would be a shame if the husband of four girls dies in vain, it would be too shameful if those four ladies become widows or worse if they end up dying with him.’

‘I need to do something,’

“Uhm, Ryan-san,” Saori calmed down after crying buckets, “I challenge you for a fair leveling game,”

Saori’s words left everyone in the room speechless.

“W- what?” Ryan frowned, “Why? You are clearly stronger,”

“Not to test our powers but… I have a condition which would depend on the outcome of the battle,”

“I am hearing, although you will win the battle, I will hear you out,” Ayami chimed in, “On behalf of my Ryan-Kun, of course.”

‘Ah, this idiot does not have a problem with this chick calling him hers.’ Gwen took a deep breath.

“If you lose the leveling game, You will have to leave me alone, get out of my vampire business, and let me on my own,”

“Fine, and if you win?”

“…” Saori was about to speak and mention her condition when she caught Ryan’s trap, “Does not that means the same?”

“Pfft! You are sharp for an adult crybaby,”

“Hm, idiot Ryan-san,” And, it suddenly kicked her after stating her condition, “If I lose, you will do whatever you want with me,”

That… how the hell does Ryan-san knows my age?!
