Chapter 15: #15 - Actual Fighting
Alright, the same stuff.
Kick him in the popliteal fossa(Biology is taking over my body), also called the back of the knees.
Punch him in the neck as he falls, place the mask in his face and drop a bit of blood in there.
It should be easy enough.
"Ah! The taste of blood, as delightful as always..."
The fuck? Is he already a vampire?
No fangs, so he's probably a deranged man.
His victim seems in a pretty harsh state, i can't get a very good look as he's standing....
With his feet inside her stomach?
More specifically, her stomach is empty and he's standing right in the middle of it.
The moonlight is falling directly a top of him so it's kinda cool.
It's more creepy than cool though, so i probably should do this quick while he's distracted.
Fossa, neck, and he falls.
A bit of blood splashes me in the face but i pay it no mind and quickly put the mask on his face.
I just have to roll him a bit since he's already in a pool of blood and...
The spikes come out.
"Uaghh!" He gives this weird frieza-type scream.
"Urghhh!" Now its a goku-like scream
Before he can do a vegeta, the mask deattaches itself from his face.
"What The FUCK!?"
He grabs it and throws it to the wall, making a huge dent.
"What the..."
He stops abruptly and sniffes the air.
And he looks directly to the body of the prostitute...
He bites it, and bites it deep.
He kinda looks like a dog who doesn't want his food to be taken.
He quickly goes from the deep bite to doing various bites across her body.
The body is already dry and he stops.
"Not enough... Not nearly enough..."
He quickly leaves through the back part of the alley.
I grab the stone mask, and throw it in the bag.
A light startles me by appearing to my left.

[Daily Quest : Knightly] [Completed]
[Quest: Vampire Hunt]
There's a Vampire who will soon harm people nearby, defeat him.
Tasks:
- Defeat the Vampire (0/1)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I completed the Daily quest?, Oh, I saved a woman back there right?
Anyways, let's just give a bit of time to this guy.
I wonder if no newborn questions his capacities or necesities, maybe it's just these two.
Or they actually wonder, but are so thirsty that first comes blood, second comes questions.
Either way, what this guy did was no different than the last, but he did it way quicker.
Actually, he did it way better, he got into running position before sprinting, his body a bit inclinated to the front, hands extended to his back, something like how ninja's run in Naruto.
I think i read that's the proper way of running at high speed because air resistance and how the body makes itself more compact...
Hmm, considering there's no airplanes to take inspiration, and Naruto won't be published until 100 years in the future, either he already knew it, or just did it on instinct.
Maybe i'm looking to much on it, but he then goes to kill his victim expertly, and bites deep into her neck.
Why are you following him again? Well, the rumours are most likely already stablished, since with him it would be 5 violent crimes in a night.
So now I'm letting him build up a bit of power and get accustomed with his new powers so that he can prove to be a decent effort on my part to kill him.
Wait, he's doing something...
He grabs the head of the woman...
And crushes it with his hand. Nasty.
He then takes the leg from the rest of the body, and throws it towards a wall.
The leg is broken, but the wall has a huge dent.
The assasin looks to his hands with a smile, and then starts laughing.
It sounds so innocent and happy you would think those woman died by itself.
Wait, his laugh is distorting, it went from innocent to crazy.
Its now this villain laugh.
That sounds like a nice moment for me to act, i confirm the mask in my face, and jump in.
"Hey! What are you doing with that woman!?" I take a deep breath after saying this, making my body shine a little.
The undead looks at me briefly and smiles.
"Oh, good, i needed to try some things out"
I hope he's not creative.
He lunges at me with his hand in a spear like shape.
I twist my body and do a light kick to his arm, trying to not destroy it.
It does a loud sound, but i didn't broke his arm.
He retreats back, with a more serious face now...
"What's wrong?, Your arm hurts?" I mock him
"I think I'll manage, I'm more curious about what that weird lighting is"
"I think you'll manage without that information"
I try to get closer but he throws a box at me.
I punch it with my left, but he got closer and kicks me in the right.
We're in a rather spacious hexagon-like place between the alleys, so i don't get smashed into the wall.
"What's wrong?, Your arm hurts?" He mocks me back
"How mature to mock someone like half your age" I retort
"Don't be mean, I'm still just 24"
"Yeah, half your age" Around that, but still.
Let me try something.
I raise my hand and...
'Sendo Hamon Overdrive!' I scream in my mind, because screaming the name of your attacks is dumb.
I bring it to the ground destroying a small part of it, but the waves still traveled across most of the arena.
"Woah, what was that?" Said vampire man, hanging from the wall.
He jumped and pierced the wall with his hands, using them as some sort of handle to stay up there.
Well shit, he's smart.
"Don't worry about it." I should try to divert his attention
"No, i think i should."
"No reason to"
"I think weird yellow lighting that burns my skin are something to be worried about"
"Yeah, no reason to"
"Are you even listening to me?"
"No reason to listen to a dead man" I always wanted to say something like that
"Well, I'd agree with you, but that would be listening to you" Do all villains have something to say?
Another box comes flying at me, but i dodge it and as he gets closer, a sword comes out of my hand and slashes the foot that tried to kick me.
He backs down with a jump of his other foot.
"A sword now? What are you a kni-"
He's trying to gain time to heal so i cut him off and try to slash his arm.
He reacts and backs up once again, not completely, since i cut his hand, severing 4 of his fingers.
"AGH!"
He's weak now, only one functional foot and arm.
I have to say, the guy fought poorly, smart, but poorly at the end.
I guess i should've expected it, i gave him few moments to get accustomed to his powers, and even then, only to his strength, so no freezing or anything complex.
"Motherfucker, Agh!"
He's still wimpering, so I'll just go ahead end his misery.
I get closer to him and...
He smiles.
This deranged mahito-looking smile.
Oh shit, trap.
From his eyes, almost faster than i could see, come out two lasers that i dodge.
Not fully, as my shoulder gets pierced, not a lot, but it's definitly going to hurt later.
"AGHHHHHH!" It looks like it hurt him more than it hurt me though.
He's clutching his eyes like if you threw boiling water in them.
Well, so much energy concentrated in the eyes are probably not good for them, vampire of not.
Anyways, that was definitly his dying struggle, and if it wasn't then i'll make sure of it.
I run towards him and...
'Sendo Wave Kick!' Because named attacks are cool.
My kick lands directly on his face and it explodes, sending the scattered organs to the left.
I grab the bag, check my mask and clean it a bit, before heading towards the mansion and falling right to my bed.
Now, I should think about the fight right?
But no, first sleeping, then work.
I need a break after that.
---|---
I awoke feeling well rested and headed to school.
As if.
My shoulder burns like a bitch!
It's not as bad as it sounds, and theres no bleeding, but still, it's red and hot to the touch.
I try to circulate my Hamon and it aliviates it a little, not fully, but i can live with it.
Anyways, now i do head out to school, Jojo walks alongside me since we both go to the same school, even if he's a year older.
I arrive to my classroom and i greet Jack, who's house was closer to the school, so he arrived earlier.
My classmates arrive one by one, including shadow boy and blue girl.
Who is looking a bit bewildered, now looking towards me.
That didn't happen yesterday, and the only things that happened were Jack and me avoiding her espionage.
But she would be looking at Jack too, and she's only looking at me.
There's only two things that come to mind, and they both involve what happened yesterday night.
Does she know? But how? Is this related to why was she following us yesterday? Wait, actually was she following Jack and I or just me, and Jack happened to tag along?
Too much questions, too little knowledge.
Am i getting too worked up? Maybe, but in animes there's always scenes like this and the suspect surprises the mc knowing stuff that they shouldn't.
So I'm open to suggestions.
Black haired boy is acting as he did yesterday so no problem there.
Agh, I'll just bear with it.
The teacher enters and class starts.
I'm gonna use my time apropiately and think about my fight.
First and more important, i should name my sword.
Like, I know that i suck at naming, but it's very different naming an organ and naming your technique.
So let's start.
Sword, Espada, Sverd, Spathi...
Spanish, Norwegian, Greek...
I go through different languages seeing if there's a cool sounding name for sword in there.
Yes I'm using their direct translation, shut up.
I quickly give up and try to come up with a name myself.
Something with sun on it's name again, since that's all hamon is about.
The Spike of Dawn?, Solar Flare?, The Solar Heart?
Dawn sounded nice so let's go with that.
Dawn, Kinda simple, but it's just a knife, so if I upgrade it I don't want to overcomplicate a name.
Imagine i name it "Dawn Slayer" just to develop an even stronger sword, i'll have to leave "Dawn Slayer" in a weak sword.
Anyways, let me check this quickly
-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Quest: Vampire Hunt]
There's a Vampire who will soon harm people nearby, defeat him.
Tasks:
- [Completed][Reward: Sword skills]
-----------------------------------------------------------------
A pain surges through my body, but i grit my teeth, knowing im still in my classroom.
This reward is... decent.
I guess i could develop a sword made of hamon with the help of my ravi.
Alright, to other questions.
What could I have done better in that fight?
Somethings, let's go by it slowly.
I got the rest of the school day to figure this out.
