Chapter 76 The Duel [part 1]

?[0)??? Without wasting any time, I walk towards the dojo. On getting there, I see a tall black-haired woman and a man standing at the doorstep, they are the doorkeepers. Looking at the woman, her clothes look disheveled, it’s almost like…

“Good afternoon, Mrs. Pam…” I greet the woman, tilting my head slightly as a sign of respect to this ancient vamp. I also glance to the side and do the same thing to the man.

“Hoho! How are you young one? Why didn’t you come to the dojo for the past two days?” The man asks with a smile on his face as he opens the door.

“Ah, I’ve been quite busy these days.” I reply while scratching the back of my head.

“Sigh… this made me remember my younger days.” The woman says, glancing at the sky as if reminiscing about something. At the same time, she glances at the man, and a smile forms on her face.

“I’ll g-get going….pappy,” I tell the man and begin to walk inside the dojo.

Of course, Mr. Pam and Mrs. Pam are ancient vampires that are even older than my grandfather. They are my master’s parents, Alphonso, who is their last born.

They may look middle-aged without any freckles on their faces, but their looks can be very misleading. They have probably lived close to a hundred thousand years. And because of this, they can’t carry out any strenuous activities or use their blood powers since it will basically put them into a deep slumber to rejuvenate.

However, Mr. Pam and Mrs. Pam have lived long enough, and to the extent that they have gotten bored of living. Battles? They have fought a lot. Revolution? They have participated in it countless times. Gore and brutality? They have seen tons of it.

Most vampires, after living for a very long time and going into several deep slumbers to rejuvenate, often get bored of living and most times will finally decide to go into an eternal slumber, a slumber of no return. However, before going into eternal slumber, they’ll live their lives to the fullest and shower their children with affection. Couples will also have the best time of their lives and shower each other with unparalleled love.

Which is what is currently happening to Mr. Pam and Mrs. Pam. They are bored of this world and have decided to go into eternal slumber a few months from now. And here they are, living a simple life and helping their last born by being the doorkeepers at his dojo while showing him affection.

(Author: Deep slumber is different from eternal slumber. I hope you all remembered this fact. Because it was explained by Jill in CHP 22.)

Alphonso, who is over one thousand years old, is getting treated like a kid by his parents. At times, the way his parents treat him can be very funny. And lastly, those ancient vamps are perverts that mate in every single corner of the dojo. Mrs. Pam’s dress was probably disheveled from her make-out with her husband.

Sigh, I wish to live as long as those two, along with my women. We’ll all go into a deep slumber at the same, inside the same coffin, and wake up at the same time. But what about my women who aren’t vampires, are they going to wait till I wake up from the slumber?

Going into deep slumbers every ten thousand years is very important for vampires. Not only does it rejuvenate us, but it also tremendously increases our blood pool. (The capacity of blood that a vampire can hold in his/her body.)

However, there is one thing that still bothers me. Which is the fact that the vampire god can resurrect any vampire that goes Into eternal slumber.

Right now, I am walking along the hallway of the dojo, moving towards the main auditorium. This dojo is very large and there are ten floors in total, owned by each dojo master. Apart from these ten floors, there is a relatively large hall where all the students of each dojo Master gathers for a duel with each other to test our capabilities. And unfortunately for me, today is the duel day because I can hear loud cheers and glees coming from this auditorium.

Along the hallway, many ancient vampiric arts are drawn on the wall from top to bottom. These drawings have a very deep meaning to them which I know nothing about, but it explains a lot about the origin and culture of the vampires. For example, one of the drawings here has a very huge man clad in beast gears from head to toe, and he’s wielding dual axes, which he was aiming to slam into the skull of a monstrous beast in front of him.

Ignoring the drawings, I pick up my pace as I hasten my footsteps towards the auditorium…

Sometime later, I finally get to the auditorium. There are several hundred students here, who have been divided into ten groups each. And behind all these groups, there is a small platform where all the dojo masters are seated. I can see my master sitting at the center of them with an expressionless face.

Shit!

Cursing out loud, I look around the ten groups, and my eyes finally fall on a single guy who is standing alone.

“Roth…” I mutter.

This guy is also a friend of mine since he’s also my master’s student and we are on good terms. He’s a new guy, so we haven’t been close enough to the point of reaching out to each other. Since we are the only students of our master, we are always bullied during the duel.

First of all, there are only two of us, compared to other dojo Masters who have about fifty to a hundred students, thus making this duel a bit unfair to us.

Then lastly, he and I both have the same thing in common, our bodies are unable to absorb ability crystals. And we are always bullied during the duels. Though Roth and I can still boost ourselves with beast gears during the duel. However, some people who have already graduated from high school are also disciples here, and they can fully use their abilities to the max without the restraint that other high school students have on them. These people have always dealt with me and Roth easily, thus causing us to always carry the last position during every duel.

Taking a deep breath, I silently walk away from the auditorium and enter the changing room which is also situated inside the auditorium building. The dojo has a uniform that everyone must wear, each uniform has different color that is used to signify each master’s disciples.

The moment I enter the changing room, my gaze suddenly falls on someone leaning against the wall with a cigarette in his mouth, and a smoke cloud above him.

“Enjoying your life, huh?”
