My name is Levi, and I work in anime.

"Really? That's great." Although I didn't know what she was trying to achieve, at this moment, I couldn't say anything other than encouragement.

After exchanging a few words with the unassuming girl he had just met, Li Wei turned and left.

It's clear he's a very cute and good kid, but he has other things to do right now, so let's talk another time.

……

Hakuou Academy, Kendo Club.

As one of the top high schools in Japan, Hakuo Academy boasts an astonishingly large campus. Large clubs like the Kendo Club occupy an entire floor for their activities. The best students can choose to pursue a professional career after graduation, or stay at Hakuo as instructors—both excellent options.

When Li Wei stepped into the kendo club, the many members who were originally engaged in intense training automatically parted to make way for him, like Moses parting the sea, and watched him move forward with eyes of admiration and respect.

Teenage boys are easy to understand; they are like wild animals on the prairie in spring, constantly releasing their abundant desires in order to gain the admiration of the same sex and the favor of the opposite sex.

The way to get these guys to respect you is simple: beat them all up, and they'll acknowledge you as their leader and boss.

"Senior Busujima has been waiting for you for a long time. She's inside, but we don't have permission to go in."

Leading Li Wei to the innermost training room, a junior named Kawazoe Tamaki bowed deeply respectfully and then walked away without looking back, as if the person hidden inside was not a Yamato Nadeshiko named Busujima Saeko, but some ferocious beast that would devour anyone it wanted.

No, it might even be more terrifying and horrifying than a wild beast.

Watching his junior leave, the boy gently pushed open the door and entered. Inside sat a purple-haired girl named Saeko Busujima, her thin kimono clinging to her body, the dignified purple hue exuding a dangerous, alluring charm. Her high, rounded breasts filled her entire chest, below which stretched a slender yet powerful waist, and suddenly bulging hips and legs—the source of power for wielding her sword. Her curves were long and shapely, without an ounce of excess fat. Her eyes were closed, the katana Li Wei had given her over a decade ago resting horizontally on her lap. Seemingly sensing the arrival of a powerful figure, it moved without wind, emitting a series of bloodthirsty howls.

The training room, larger than two classrooms combined, was empty except for Saeko. Li Wei casually picked up a long sword from the sword rack beside him, runes shimmering around him as he set up a silencing barrier: "Didn't keep you waiting too long?"

"No, just right."

A slightly seductive and wild smile appeared on the face of the girl, who resembled a Yamato Nadeshiko; it was an expression that would never appear under normal circumstances.

Saeko has now entered hunting mode. Her elegant and serene demeanor vanishes in an instant, replaced by soaring fighting spirit and frenzied joy.

Unlike the people outside, this training room, which belongs exclusively to Saeko, uses real, sharpened weapons.

"Then let's begin." Neither of them were the type to fuss over details; they preferred to be straightforward.

Saeko, having accepted the invitation, leaped into the air, her long sword, thirsting for blood, sweeping out a bright, semi-circular arc before mercilessly slashing down on Saeko's head.

It comes like thunder, then subsides with fury; it departs like the calm waters of a still river!

Chapter 4: A good woman should be tolerant of a man, and vice versa.

The reason why Li Wei and Saeko were so skilled was because this kind of thing had happened countless times before.

Since they first met when he was five years old, the boy has noticed that his friend has a face that is completely opposite to the Yamato Nadeshiko she appears to be.

Compared to gentle and virtuous etiquette, she prefers blood and killing. Her greatest pleasure is wielding a sharp weapon to cut down humans or other creatures, and this desire continues to accumulate as she gets older.

She loves fighting; the life-or-death struggle excites her, and as long as she can keep fighting, it brings her even more joy.

If Saeko can't relieve her stress and satisfy her desires regularly, she becomes depressed, experiencing withdrawal symptoms that are difficult to endure. And each time, she needs more, a larger dose, and more intense stimulation than before. Otherwise, she won't feel satisfied.

The more critical issue is that, as someone from a renowned fighting family, Saeko's fighting prowess is far beyond what ordinary people can match. Therefore, as her childhood friend and confidante, Li Wei naturally took on this responsibility.

The boy felt no rejection or disgust towards Saeko; on the contrary, he felt...

--marvelous!

Saeko is warlike, bloodthirsty, and lustful. Levi, who received full Celtic warrior training from the age of ten, is even more warlike, bloodthirsty, and lustful than her.

"Well done!"

Facing the gleaming blade that sliced ​​through the air, Li Wei advanced instead of retreating, lunging forward and stomping his foot hard on the ground, creating a muffled thunderous sound. The force surged upwards from his feet, advancing segment by segment, layer upon layer, until the longsword pierced his right arm, exploding with a deafening roar.

In an instant, the two longswords collided, and a shockwave-like force tore through the surrounding air, erupting along the point of impact and sweeping wildly.

The purple-haired killer's blow had a force of at least five tons; it could slice through a wall made of reinforced concrete like a hot knife through butter, without offering the slightest resistance.

Fortunately, the barrier had been set up beforehand, and the floor tiles were also specially made by the Liudong Temple Brick Factory; otherwise, someone would have noticed something was wrong much earlier.

Saeko was not surprised that her attack had missed.

Amidst the clanging of sharp blades, streaks of light as brilliant as lightning slashed out from the longsword in her hand, like a waterfall cascading down, frantically tearing at Li Wei's body, searching for every flaw in his swordsmanship, trying to find an opening to penetrate his body and cut the boy in two, as if he were not her close friend of many years, but a mortal enemy with a blood feud.

If Li Wei really died, she would regret it after the battle and then commit suicide or something. But at least for now, Saeko, with her fighting spirit soaring, would absolutely not show any mercy.

There has been progress, but not much.

Li Wei offered his assessment, then swung his right arm, sending his longsword soaring into the sky. The azure blade light, like a swimming dragon, swirled into the lightning-filled blade curtain. A dense, rain-like clashing of metal resounded, sparks flying like fireworks, the residual force of the colliding blade energy scattering in all directions, leaving no flaw whatsoever.

The boy didn't really understand swordsmanship. His swordsmanship techniques were almost entirely basic, always simple, unpretentious, and upright, yet watertight and invincible.

Because it was meant to help release pent-up emotions, Li Wei only defended and didn't attack. Saeko's offensive was relentless, like the surging Yangtze River or the breaching Yellow River, a continuous barrage that had absolutely no effect. Even when some of the swords managed to slip through the defenses and find a loophole, they were completely annihilated by the boy's protective aura.

The rapid and relentless attack lasted for fifteen minutes until the killer finally collapsed, unable to even stand.

At the same time, the simple longsword in Li Wei's hand, which had endured countless hardships, shattered into dust the moment it lost the support of the protective energy.

Having released all her pent-up emotions, Saeko lay sprawled on the ground, panting, her face still flushed from the intense exercise, clearly not yet fully recovered from her excitement. Her youthful, delicate body, a blend of cuteness and sensuality, possessed an alluring charm. Her kendo uniform was completely soaked with sweat, emitting a strong, gardenia-scented fragrance.

The killer, completely engrossed in the fight, squinted at the boy, brazenly spreading his arms to signal for the second phase of the battle.

……

Two hours later, the two snuggled together to rest, staring blankly out the window in a daze.

Even at this point, the excited yet sickly blush on Saeko's face had not completely faded. Clearly, the intense battle just now had left her with a lingering sense of satisfaction, and she looked extremely pleased with herself.

"Avi, I am so happy right now."

Lying in Li Wei's arms, the purple-haired killer closed his eyes peacefully, his body limp as if his bones had been removed. His hands caressed his lower abdomen, his voice gentle, a stark contrast to his previous mad and deranged state.

"I feel completely full."

"Ah That's good."

For Li Wei, who had mastered the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic to perfection and had also comprehended the Five Stops of Mind in the Yongtianliu Collection of Teachings, the battle just now was not enough to cause him any trouble.

Compared to the training I received from my teacher in the Land of the Dead, this is no different from playing house with Ryougi in kindergarten.

However, Saeko's physical strength is far inferior to that of Scáthach-sensei. She is someone who can train Levi all day long and completely embrace the boy.

"So what happened this time that made you so eager to fight?"

The boy looked curiously at the lovely girl in his arms, then met the eyes of the disheveled killer: "We just did it the day before yesterday, you shouldn't be thinking about it again so soon."

"Avi, do you know about vampires?"

"Of course I know, it's a strange thing from Europe."

“I saw it with my own eyes last night, and I killed one.” Saeko tilted her head back, as if asking for a kiss: “They seemed to be looking for something.”

Because she was completely exhausted, the killer's voice was very soft, but that didn't stop the boy from understanding her meaning in the shortest amount of time.

The sudden appearance of such unnatural things in Japan is itself a very strange thing.

Driven by their need to hunt, they attacked Saeko. It must be said that the vampires had pretty good taste; the girl's body looked healthy, and after Levi's long period of care and nurturing, her vitality was incredibly strong.

Unfortunately, Saeko was a serial killer, and a serial killer whose fighting power far exceeded that of a normal human. In the end, she was cut into pieces and made into sashimi.

Even a monster with extremely strong regenerative abilities would die if it were hacked to that extent.

"I understand, this matter will be handled properly."

The boy held the girl's hand tightly and said this.

Chapter 5: The most suitable way for a vampire to die is undoubtedly by splitting into seventeen parts.

In the afternoon, school is over.

Touma Kazusa, a 16-year-old high school student, is living her usual self-imposed exile at school when she sees someone she really doesn't want to see at the school gate.

"Let's go home together."

Standing before her, the young man named Li Wei extended such an invitation, or rather... an order.

I originally thought that in this situation, I should rush up and slap him to bring him to his senses, or do something very much in line with my own personality—black stockings, long black hair—and use my sharp tongue. If I couldn't do either of those, I should at least treat him like he wasn't there and ignore him as I walked past.

But no.

She opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a word. Her body wouldn't obey her commands, following Li Wei like a loyal dog. She could even hear the cheers of her own cells, as if they had been eagerly anticipating this.

All she could do was lower her head deeply, trying her best not to let others see her face.

She told herself that it was just a coincidence that she was going that way, and there was no other reason.

At first, she could pretend nothing was wrong.

But soon, feelings of shame and excitement grew wildly like weeds.

Just walking a short distance beside him, the faint warmth emanating from his body, and the scent of male hormones she had felt countless times before, were enough to make Kazusa unable to resist.

My face must be red right now, even the area around my ears is red. Luckily, the sun is setting, and I'm looking down, so I can hide my face.

If this were some kind of anime, steam would definitely be rising from the top of my head.

Touma Kazusa, how could you be so spineless? He betrayed you! You actually followed me just because of one sentence.

That's what they were thinking, but their bodies wouldn't obey them. As they traveled further, the distance between them grew closer and closer, until they were about to bump into each other.

"Kazusa, have you ever seen a vampire?"

Just as the girl, whose nature was that of a loyal dog, was about to succumb to her instincts and cling to the boy at any moment, Li Wei's words jolted her out of her reverie and saved her life.

"I've heard of it; it's a folk tale from the Balkans and Eastern European Slavs, but it's probably just a fantastical creature."

Pretending to be nonchalant, Touma Kazusa said this as casually as possible.

However, compared to her musical talent, her acting skills were simply too poor, and she couldn't hide it from Li Wei, whom she knew well.

"That's not the case. These creatures do exist, and in considerable numbers," he said. "If you're interested, look around; these guys right here next to us are examples."

“I see… huh?”

The girl suddenly woke up and found herself and Li Wei in an unfamiliar alley, with menacing-looking people blocking both the entrance and the exit.

Throughout the entire process, I didn't notice anything wrong. Or rather, because I was with Li Wei, my entire alertness was dulled, and I subconsciously wanted to follow him wherever he went.

"They are irresistible to the pure blood of virgins and the vibrant blood of young boys, so during this period, whether it's going to or from school, you have to come with me." Li Wei said this decisively, leaving no room for negotiation.

The girl opened her mouth, then nodded in agreement: "Okay."

She didn't know whether she felt anger at the boy's betrayal or joy at finding a legitimate reason to be together again.

Without giving the boys and girls any extra time to talk, these walking corpses, whose blood had been drained by the vampires and turned them into ghouls, began to attack, driven by their instinct to feed.

They have lost the rationality and thinking that humans should have, and are like starving beasts, scratching and biting with their claws and teeth, treating humans as food.

Unfortunately, they chose the wrong opponent.

Almost instantly, Li Wei drew his longsword from thin air. The dazzling sword light, like a magnificent sunset, took their lives before they even realized they were dead.

Or rather, life has long since vanished, leaving behind nothing but walking corpses.

The Sword of Light, Kurui, was one of the graduation gifts given to him by his Celtic teacher after he announced his graduation. Levi liked using it because it saved him the trouble of cleaning up afterwards.

"Are these vampires?" Touma Kazusa asked curiously.

What had just happened didn't frighten her; in fact, she was somewhat grateful for their presence, which gave her and Li Wei a reason to talk again.

"No, they are just humans who were killed but not completely dead because of the remaining vampire blood in their bodies after being drained of blood," the boy explained. "There are also the dead who are manipulated as clones of Dead Apostles, ignoring the process of being resurrected as vampires on their own after being drained of blood. Because they are just puppets, they cannot be considered as independent vampires."

"From a certain perspective, those who are being sucked blood can be considered descendants of vampires."

While explaining, the boy stepped forward to examine the body to ensure nothing was missed.

Outwardly, these zombies are indistinguishable from normal humans. Office workers, students, working women, the unemployed... one corpse in particular stands out.

That guy had short, beautiful light blonde hair, and wore a white fluffy top that couldn't hide his full, perfect breasts and taut, slender waist. He wore a long skirt and dark black stockings, looking youthful and beautiful, but he kept radiating an aura of stupidity.

Most importantly, this face is inexplicably similar to Ryougi, as if it were drawn by the same artist, exhibiting a remarkable consistency.

Unfortunately, as a vampire, Levi had to eliminate her. And precisely because of her appearance, the boy paid special attention to her, subconsciously slicing her neatly into 17 pieces.

I don't know why, but I just did it. If I had to give a reason, maybe it's because Li Wei thought it was a good idea?

"Is she... also a monster?" Touma Kazusa couldn't help but ask. "At first, she seemed to have something to say."

“That’s right, it just looks like a human, but it’s still a type of alien.” Li Wei explained seriously, “We don’t have time to listen to her explanation, let’s kill it first.”

“…She—she seems to be able to communicate.” Kazusa hesitated.

"Anyway, we've already killed them all. If she has any complaints, just let her come back to me after she's resurrected," Li Wei said confidently.
