"Scathach Scarlett!" Victor's voice resonated throughout the VIP room.
"I know, I know. I knew this would happen, so I prepared everything. Wait for me here." She smiled as she rose from her ice throne.
She didn't do anything!? What the fuck!? They were freaking out.
Sigh!
As she walked towards the exit of the VIP room, she sighed.
"What don't I do for my stupid disciples?" She looked pretty tired if you ignored the big smile on her face.
"hahahaha, Thank you master~" Krishna says as Scathach closes the door.
"Luna!" Scathach spoke up.
"Yes!?"
"Come with me."
"Yes..."
Violet, Ruby, and Sasha were pouting annoyed, they didn't like it. It seems Scathach understood Victor more than they did!
The one most affected by it was Violet! She was about to freak out! 'I wasn't supposed to let Scathach train, my darling! I should have asked for war!' Her thoughts were running wild.
Sensing the turbulent emotions of his wives, Victor's desire to battle calmed a little, and he said:
"Calm down, girls. I am fine. And don't think about nonsense."
"Huh?" Ruby, Violet, and Sasha looked at Victor.
"My wish is simple..." Victor's eyes sparkled intensely.
"I want to fight... For six months, I was beaten by my master, and she said I got better. I want to know... I need to know how much better I got! Fighting my master isn't enough; she's just too strong..."
"Oh." The three spoke at the same time.
"Two possible strong opponents are in front of me… How can I not get excited? How can I contain my desire? It's impossible. I've always been honest with myself, and now that I'm a vampire, that urge has gotten stronger."
"What about Krishna then?" Violet asked.
"We have decided to not fight since whenever we did it came out a draw and if we use everything then one of us would die... so we decided to just test ourselves on other people." Krishna said while keeping his eyes closed.
Soon he looked back at the arena and saw a referee in the middle of the arena, it looked like something had happened, and he hadn't noticed.
"I will entrust this matter to Scathach, my master must be planning something, and I know it won't negatively affect me..." Victor spoke honestly, he knows that Scathach would only throw him to the lions in an attempt to make him stronger, and he didn't mind that attitude. In fact, he actually liked it.
"Ladies and gentlemen. I apologize, but this game will be stalled for a few minutes." The referee suddenly spoke.
"Huuuh?" The audience felt like a child who had just had their favorite candy stolen!
"Hey!" Someone from the audience there complained, but the referee just looked at that individual and said,
"Be patient." His cold voice sent shivers down the vampire's spine.
"O-Okay." He sat back.
"Huh? Why was the game stopped?" Victoria didn't know what was going on.
Knock Knock!
"Lady Victoria Rider, please come to the administration room."
Victoria heard the voice of the arena worker.
"...?" Victoria looked at the door, "What's going on?"
"A new Clan has joined the wager." The official spoke.
"Huuh? But isn't that against the rules?!"
"We know that, but we can't ignore the person who placed the order... It's just impossible."
"..." Feeling a little fear in the employee's voice, Victoria was curious:
"Can I at least know who the Clan is that got involved?"
"Clan Scarlett..."
"...Heh?"
"...Countess Scathach Scarlett..." Victoria swallowed her saliva. What did that monster want with her? She was just a helpless woman!
"Yes..."
"Fuck!"
A somewhat similar scene was taking place on the side of Clan Horseman.
Knock Knock!
"Come in." Niklaus' cold voice was heard by the clerk.
The employee enters and immediately starts talking:
"Count Niklaus Horseman, a new Clan, has decided to play the game. Please head to the administration room."
"..." Niklaus nodded coldly. He knew this was against the rules, so his curiosity was piqued:
"May I know who the new bettor is?" He asked as he walked towards the exit of the VIP room.
"Countess Scathach Scarlett."
"..." He suddenly stopped walking, a small hint of surprise appeared on his face, but it soon disappeared as if it didn't exist, "Okay..."
"Wait here."
"Yes, Father," Jessica spoke up.
"…" Zwei nodded.
Victoria and Niklaus meet at the door to the administration room.
"..." The two looked at each other in silence for some time.
" Oldest first," Niklaus spoke with a knightly gesture.
"Oh?" A vein popped in Victoria's head, she flashed a neutral smile and said, "Why don't you go first? After all, you are someone of high status."
"That's true..." He nodded, then opened the door.
When Niklaus opened the door, they saw a woman with long red hair standing next to an old man. They seemed to be chatting amiably.
"Oh?" Scathach's smile grew, "You arrived, good. Come in, come in."
"..." The two were wondering if they could refuse this offer, but remembering what was at stake, they entered.
They sat on opposite sides, and as they sat down, they heard Scathach's voice:
"I don't want to waste a lot of time with useless conversations. So my proposal is simple: I want my disciples to fight your two heirs."
"My bet is simple: Whoever defeats my disciples, I will support 100% of whatever goal you have."
"By defeat I mean if even one of my disciple is defeated I would admit it as the win if you want 2 on 1 with 2 of your heir and 1 of my disciples then that's even better chose who your heir want's to fight out of the two but since both my disciples want to fight I will add one more reward for fighting 2 of them.
If both my disciples are defeated then I will support the person who's heir defeated them with Uncoditional support till one goal is completed."
"!!!" Victoria and Niklaus' eyes seemed to glow.
With the same smile on her face, Scathach continued:
"Do you want to take the king's throne? I will support it. Do you want me to teach your children? I will do it. Do you want to destroy the human world? That is a simple job. Do you want a war against the wolves? I would love to participate."
"The period of my support is 1 year." She flashed a cold smile, "How about? It's a good deal, right?"
"…" Yes, it was a great deal. In exchange for winning the fight against a vampire who is this woman's disciple, they would have the full support of the strongest female vampire.
Just by having Scathach's name in whatever plans they had, that plan would carry more weight than usual. It just goes to show how much weight that woman's name has for all vampires.
But they know that there is no free lunch in this world... If this woman trusts her disciple so much, then he must be very strong... But it was hard to know; after all, it's known to everyone that Scathach has enough disciples scattered around the world.
And many of them weren't so strong that they could fight two geniuses alone.
"What do you want if your disciples wins?" Niklaus was faster than Victoria to speak. For him, that was a good deal, and he trusted his son, considering his son had 'that' which no vampire had.
"…Hmm, you don't have much that is useful for my disciple and me… Oh, how about this? My disciple is allowed to come to your house at any time to 'use' your heirs for training, and he can learn anything that is not a 'secret' for your Clan?"
"…" This was a rather strange condition even for the two vampires.
"Hmm... Explain to me in more detail about your bet." As a businesswoman, Victoria wanted to be sure what she was getting into. After all, a bet with Scathach shouldn't be simple, right?
"Huh? Haven't I already explained? Are you stupid?" She made a confused face.
"…" A vein snapped in Victoria's head, she thought she must be being cursed to find two people she couldn't offend on the same day.
Soon, they started arguing about this matter. Victoria wanted the title of count. Niklaus wanted to protect his title, and he also wanted the resources he could only gain from Victoria.
But with Scathach's intervention, things had to change, and they didn't have many choices in this matter; after all, the bet was just too good.
The support of the strongest female vampire in the world…
30 minutes later, an announcement was heard.
"Two new players have joined the game!"
"Heh?" This was the reaction from everyone in the arena. They know it's against the rules!
Soon Victor's image appeared on the screen.
Victor Walker/Snow, Fulger, Scarlett. Disciple of Scathach Scarlett.
Age: 21
Then Krishna's Image came on screen
Krishna Godkill. Disciple of Scathach Scarlett.
Age: 11
"What?" All vampires were shocked.
"What the fuck is 'Walker/Snow, Fulger, Scarlett?' What is his relationship to these three Clans!?"
"What kind of surname is Godkill?? and he is also a Disciple of that mad woman!"
The girls in the VIP room were just freaking out and Victor and Krishna were laughing as Scathach came in the room.
"Go have fun, my stupid disciples. But... Remember, don't lose... If you lose or demonstrate a pathetic fight to me, prepare for your punishment." Her eyes glowed blood red as she flashed a sultry smile:
"This time, you will spend 10 years training with me in isolation~." Scathach would not allow a weak disciple.
"…I think that would be a reward for him…." Pepper whispered.
"..." Lacus and Eleonor looked at Pepper.
"What?" Pepper asked with an innocent face.
"Nothing," Lacus replied.
"..." Scathach ignored everyone and continued to look at her Disciples.
Victor exhibited a small smile as he rose from the ice throne while holding Ophis like a princess and placing her where he was sitting. As he made these movements, Victor's shadow grew, and soon Kaguya stepped out of his shadow.
Realizing she couldn't stay in Victor's shadow during the game, Kaguya stepped out of his shadow and walked towards Luna, Maria, and Yuki.
"Hmm...?" Ophis turned her face away in confusion.
Victor removes his glasses and places them beside the ice throne while Krishna keeps his aviators on.
"Thank you Scathach" Krishna says while Victor just smiles from behind him.
"..." Scathach felt a strange sensation in her heart when she heard those words. It felt warm and sweet, but it wasn't bad...
Krishna walked up to the three sisters and kissed them on the lips, "Good luck kisses." Krishna laughed as he walked away from the stunned sisters.
"wawawawawawawawawa"Pepper head just goes poof
"ahem" Lacus's face is also red but she controls her reaction.
Siena smiles proudly while looking at Eleonor and Eleonor is confused why she was giving her that look?
Then he turned and looked at the glass, and lightly touching the glass, the magic symbols of his white gloves began to glow blood red.
And then a scene that left some people shocked happened; Victor's hand began to pass through the glass.
"W-What?" Sasha, who was closest, was shocked.
Slowly, Victor's entire body passed through the glass, and soon he was standing there floating outside the arena.
"How is this possible?" Violet was shocked, she knew what it was, but how did he ever learn it?
"Did he learn that too...?" Ruby was surprised.
"Didn't I tell you?" Scathach walked towards her throne.
Hearing Scathach's voice, everyone looked at her, "I trained his basics. That means he's mastered what I consider the basics of a 'noble vampire'." She spoke with a slight smile on her face as she sat on her throne.
She crossed her legs elegantly and continued, "If he couldn't do it, I would be disappointed~."
Krishna walked up to the glass and simply broke the whole glass wall and walked out but as soon as he walked out the broken glass flew back into place, in the matter of milliseconds the wall was as it was before Krishna broke it.
"This he picked up on his own, magic is not something I ever tried to dabble into."
Einer and Tatsuya, who were informed that the game was changed by their respective clan leaders, looked at Victor, who was floating in midair as he descended towards the arena.
"That smile, I don't like it." Einer no longer liked Victor.
"…" Tatsuya's opinion was neutral, but internally, he didn't like that smile from Victor either.
Krishna simply jumped off and landed without bending his legs. This left cobwebs all along the floor.
Victor descended smoothly in the middle of the two participants, and the moment his feet touched the arena floor, the entire surface was turned to ice!
Krishna just sighed and walked up to the competitors.
"!!!" Einer and Tatsuya quickly jumped.
"This power…" A man in the audience was shocked.
"It's from that woman's Clan!"
"Is that why he has the last name Scarlet!? Is he her son or something!?"
"Idiot, didn't you see the other last names too!?"
"So who is he!?"
"I do not know!"
"Shhh, shut up! Things are starting to get interesting!"
Victor's smile grew, a smile that showed all his sharp teeth was shown to the audience, he inhaled a little of the air around him, and when he let the air out of his lungs:
"Einer Horseman" His voice echoed throughout the arena; it was a heavy voice, a strong voice.
"Tatsuya."
"Let's have fun~."
"Start!" The referee spoke as if following Victor.
Wasting no time, Einer ran towards Victor. He felt an instinctive desire to want to wipe that smile off Victor's face; he didn't like it!
Tatsuya went for Krishna who seemed to be simply standing doing nothing.
Tatsuya began using his mirage power and punched Krishna which sent Krishna flying but he landed on his feet.
This kept on happening for 5 mins.... Getting irritated Tatsuya began using his katana to slash Krishna which worked and Krishna was wounded in several places but none of them seemed fatal. Krishna was also trying to punch Tatsuya but that only worked 50% of the time which made Krishna seem like he was desperately trying to find Tatsuya but he was properly entrapped in his illusion.
"Is this really disciple of that woman?..... well everyone has some bad eggs I suppose." many older and younger vampires had similar comments for Krishna
"What is he doing" Lacus was getting worried while Pepper had closed her eyes.
Siena seemed fine but even she had started getting worried.
Scathach was just looking at the fight while looking amused.
On Victor's side.
Creating a Rapier with his powers, Einer tried to pierce Victor's face. He wanted to pierce his head! And wipe that smile off his face!
"Die!" The thrilling scene he'd been hoping for didn't happen.
Covering his fingers with pure ice, Victor stopped Einer's attack with just one finger.
Beng!
Everyone heard the sound of two blades colliding.
"Wh" Before he could react to the scene that happened before him, he felt his face being hit by something invisible.
At the same time, Victor made a move. He positioned himself with a simple martial arts pose and punched the air!
Fuusshhhh!
A blast of air flew towards Einer, he was unable to dodge.
The gust of wind hit him with violent force!
BOOOOOOOM!
An explosion happened when Einer hit the wall.
"Cough!" Einer coughed up blood on the floor, but the attack wasn't over yet.
The effects of Victor's attack began to show up in Einer's body, his body slowly starting to freeze.
"What...?" The audience didn't know how to react. They just couldn't understand what just happened in front of them.
"Is that the power of a vampire baby?" The older vampire opened his eyes in shock. He felt like he was seeing the power of a 500 year old vampire! The only thing he was thinking now was; 'That monster created another little monster….'
"Good~" Scathach would look pleased.
"Mother... You overreacted... Again." Pepper could only say that she had seen this attack before, and she knows how devastating this attack is.
"Yes, he did it. I hope that guy is alive." Lacus.
"He's a vampire; he won't die that easy. I think…" Ruby.
"Darling~" Violet is a little red in the face.
"...Lady Victoria." Hecate didn't know what to say when she saw Victoria's glare.
"That woman created a monster. at least one of them is normal... but he is only a human I suppose that is plenty strong for a human."
"…" Hecate can't help nodding her head instinctively, so she goes back to looking at the arena with curious eyes.
