Mika, hiding in the shadows, broke into a cold sweat for Luke. He didn't know if Luke could handle these Imperial Demon Army soldiers.
Mika's gaze swept over the students who were being held back by other Imperial Demon Army soldiers—students who were just there to watch the chaos—and his eyes lit up.
"Yu, Akane!"
Yuichiro was currently being blocked from approaching the battlefield. His face was full of displeasure, but he couldn't easily force his way through.
He looked back at his companions who were following behind.
"At the speed you guys are going, everyone will be killed by the Vampires!"
Shinoa Hiragi rolled her eyes at Yuichiro and stood obediently behind the cordon.
"Even if you run fast, you still can't get onto the battlefield."
Yuichiro was suddenly speechless, not knowing how to retort.
"I..."
Yoichi looked around, somewhat confused.
"Where is Kimizuki-san?"
Shinoa Hiragi watched as the Vampire on the field easily dodged Guren's attack and said nonchalantly,
"Who knows? Maybe he realized this Vampire doesn't stand a chance and went to find his accomplices."
When Yuichiro heard this, he couldn't take it! He absolutely couldn't let that 'Telephone Pole' get ahead of him. So, he took an ordinary sword and went to search for Vampires in the shadows.
Mika saw Yuichiro leave the crowd and felt it was a good opportunity. After confirming the surroundings were safe, he followed in the direction Yuichiro had left, sticking to corners where no one was paying attention.
On the field, Luke held his demonic sword in his right hand, blocking the attacks from Guren and his two attendants, and mocked,
"Maybe your voice was a bit too loud when you were talking big just now, don't you think?"
Although Guren was surprised by Luke's strength, he didn't panic. He calmly exchanged coded signals with his teammates.
Luke retreated to dodge a horizontal slash from Guren, only to find Yukimi Shigure had somehow circled behind him, thrusting a dagger toward his neck.
Deterrence!
As one of Luke's rare active skill quest rewards, it was finally remembered after several years.
The gazes of Guren's trio froze, but Yukimi Shigure's dagger still lunged toward Luke's neck due to inertia. However, this was exactly the effect Luke wanted.
With a swift turn, Luke dodged the dagger.
The dagger flew straight toward Guren.
The three of them snapped out of their momentary trance. Yukimi Shigure hurriedly tried to change direction, and Guren also tried to sidestep.
But the two were too close, and the dagger was too fast. Consequently, a small cut was still opened on Guren's cheek by the blade.
Yukimi Shigure breathed a sigh of relief. Remembering the last time Goshi Norito was knocked out by the anesthetic on her dagger, she quickly explained to Guren,
"I didn't apply poison this time!"
Guren indicated it was no big deal, staring at the face hidden under Luke's hood, seemingly wanting to see through to his true identity.
"Hey, Vampire, what is your purpose for coming to Shibuya?"
Seeing this, Luke let out a sneer without hesitation.
"Idiotic question."
Guren frowned deeply. He naturally knew Luke wouldn't answer him; he was just trying to stall for time. If the opponent was determined to leave, he couldn't keep him there.
Luke naturally understood Guren's plan. He had been holding back the entire time, only defending and not attacking, just so Mika would have time to find Yuichiro. Now, he had some concerns.
"Reinforcements? A large force might be a bit troublesome. I don't know if Mika has found Yuichiro yet. If I wait much longer, it'll be bad. I'm really afraid I'll accidentally kill everyone!"
Luke charged at Guren again. Anyway, he'd knock this guy down first! He had wanted to beat up Guren for a long time; how could anyone be more arrogant than him, Luke!
He simply couldn't stand it!
"Hmm? Annoying!"
Luke suddenly stopped and retreated several steps.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three bullets struck the ground in his path.
Luke looked toward the roof of the teaching building. Hiiragi Shinya had already gotten off the helicopter at some point... Yuichiro was running blindly around the campus, searching everywhere he thought a Vampire might be, but he still found nothing.
He was really getting tired of running, out of breath, and feeling a bit depressed.
"Was that Vampire really acting alone?"
Mika had been following behind Yuichiro the whole time. Seeing that Yuichiro was no longer running aimlessly, he felt now was a good time to meet.
Mika walked slowly toward Yuichiro and raised his hand, wanting to tap Yuichiro's shoulder.
"Yu..."
"Found you! Vampire! Stupid Yuichiro, watch your back, get out of the way!"
A voice interrupted Mika's movement.
Shitjiro Kimizuki came charging over with a sword in hand.
Hearing Shitjiro Kimizuki's warning, Yuichiro subconsciously turned his head in confusion and was startled to see Mika in the same style of cloak as the one at the fountain.
Yuichiro hurriedly swung his sword.
But in Mika's eyes, the movements of the two people in front of him were quite slow, like a snail's pace. Mika immediately withdrew his hand and dodged Yuichiro's blade.
Mika stared with some resentment at Shitjiro Kimizuki, who had ruined his chance to reunite with Yuichiro. Mika didn't know this person. To avoid causing trouble for Yuichiro, Mika chose not to take off his hood and reveal himself.
But this pink-haired guy definitely needed to be taught a lesson.
Shitjiro Kimizuki kept charging forward, but suddenly felt a tightening in his chest and saw Mika make a move.
Mika didn't draw his sword; he just kicked off the ground to accelerate and rushed straight in front of Shitjiro Kimizuki.
Shitjiro Kimizuki's pupils constricted.
Shitjiro Kimizuki wanted to hold his sword in front of him to block, but he couldn't keep up with Mika's speed and took a solid punch to the stomach.
"Ah, ugh..."
Shitjiro Kimizuki was sent flying several meters, kneeling on the ground clutching his stomach and retching.
Seeing this, Yuichiro recklessly raised his sword and charged at Mika.
"You bastard!"
Mika felt a bit hurt. Even though he knew Yuichiro didn't know his identity, seeing Yuichiro swing a sword at him still felt unpleasant.
Just as Mika was thinking of knocking out Shitjiro Kimizuki to come clean with Yuichiro, he suddenly heard a flurry of footsteps.
Mika was a bit angry. Why do they always interrupt me at the critical moment!
Shitjiro Kimizuki's shout just now would surely attract many people. He couldn't stay here long. Mika directly grabbed Yuichiro's wrist and spoke in a voice only Yuichiro could hear.
"Hyakuya Yuichiro."
Yuichiro was shocked. How could this Vampire know his name?!
"Who are you?"
The footsteps were getting closer. Mika could only say,
"If you want to know how Mikael Hyakuya is doing, go to the alley next to the Kawakami Sushi Shop tonight."
"They're over here!"
Yoichi and the others arrived.
After speaking, Mika immediately turned and left, disappearing in the blink of an eye, leaving Yuichiro standing there in a daze.
Byakuya Akane ran to Yuichiro's side and asked worriedly,
"Yu, are you okay?"
Only then did Yuichiro snap back to his senses, as if waking from a dream.
"Oh... oh, I'm fine."
"Ah, Kimizuki-san, you're spitting blood!"
Shitjiro Kimizuki stood up with Yoichi's support.
"I'm fine, I can still go. Quickly notify the Imperial Demon Army, there's another Vampire."
Yuichiro said something almost instinctively.
"Don't worry about this Vampire; he must have already left the school."
Kimizuki said with a tone of frustration,
"Damn it! It's still because I'm not strong enough!"
Yoichi comforted him,
"Alright, Kimizuki-san, let me take you to the infirmary first."
Yuichiro stared blankly in the direction Mika had left.
Luke looked at Guren and the others lying on the ground, unable to get up, and said playfully,
"My, my, the sun hasn't even set yet, why are you all sleeping?"
The surrounding Imperial Demon Army soldiers had closed in, but none dared to step forward because Luke's sword was pressed against Guren's neck.
Guren's spirit was quite tough.
"Kill me or do as you please!"
"Another Vampire has come!"
Luke looked up and saw Mika standing not far away, watching him. No one around dared to approach.
Luke understood that Mika's business must be finished. In that case, there was no point in him staying here. It wouldn't be fun if the Imperial Demon Army high-level officers sent more people.
Luke dragged Guren with one hand toward Mika, and the surrounding Imperial Demon Army soldiers had no choice but to make way.
Luke pulled out a medal-like object from his robe and placed it on Guren's chest.
He had custom-ordered this in Sanguinem. At the time, the Vampire in charge had looked at him very strangely.
The front of the medal was very blunt—Loser's Medal.
The back had the initials of Luke's name in Pinyin. Since the Japanese couldn't read it anyway, he wasn't afraid of being identified.
Leaving satisfied.
Arriving at the school gate with Mika, Luke finally dropped Guren, turned to leave with Mika, and waved at the Imperial Demon Army soldiers behind them.
