I'm a Walking Disaster With My Unwanted Virginity

Chapter 62 - Keeping Appearances



Ever since that duel, the leader of the prefects, Rose had been busy. Things on campus had been hectic ever since. Students became rowdier and rowdier, not giving a damn about the rules. And this morning she even received a notice about how a transfer student almost attacked a student inside the dorms. 

Of course, the student who got attacked only filed in the report just a few minutes ago. So it probably wasn't that serious. 

'Isn't it usually the other way?'

She was a bit confused and this just added more work to her already packed schedule. She didn't know which student was attacked but she pitied the poor soul.

It was a bit past noon. She didn't have the chance to shower yet. She was busy with paperwork- was probably an understatement. 

Last year when she'd transferred here, she knew things were wild for the first few days and that's why she took extra precaution this year. All that caution still went down the drain though because of a certain someone. And that certain someone was still creating trouble for her. 

'What is he, a trouble magnet?'         

She sighed and went to the mirror. She had an important meeting after this. So she had to at least look the part.

Usually, her golden hair was always left to flow freely. She never bothered with her hair, but now that she took a closer look. 'When did it get so long?'

It only showed, how little attention she gave her own body. With another sigh she braided her hair and made a small comb. Hair was one thing she didn't want to worry about. 

'Should I use eyeliners?'

She never needed to. Her big luscious eyebrows always did the trick for her. She disliked makeup too as it took a lot of time and effort: neither, she could waste. 

In the end, her life was also just full of sighs. 

It took her ten minutes to prepare and after she was done, she left the room. This was probably the first time in this year, she took so much time to prepare Outside, two of the prefects waited for her. It was mandatory for at least one prefect to be with her at all times. 

The prefects of the Demigrace Academy were viewed with high regard by most. But there were always people who were unsatisfied. And it wasn't uncommon to get attacked by students every now and then. So it wasn't that surprising. 

'Why isn't anybody saying anything?'

Needless to say, after wasting ten minutes on her hair and looks, she at least wanted a bit of a mention from people around her. But everybody just treated her the same: same old, same old. 

Though she wasn't concerned about looks all that much, she did want her efforts to at least be recognized. 

***

A room with a ridiculously large glass window. Outside, large fields stretched out as far as the vision went. Mostly just empty fields with large apple trees scattered throughout. 

Orange light peered through the window, illuminating the insides.

A man threw a disposable Holo picture on the table with a thud. 

There were only two people in the room. One man, one girl. It was almost as though the world was cut off from this place. Everything felt black and white, at least for the girl. 

"Seduce him." The man said, pointing at the boy in the picture. "We need his genes." It wasn't a request or a suggestion, it was an order. 

An order the girl couldn't escape from. "Yes, father." The girl's voice shook. Her breath shivered. Her fire had died out and there was nothing but cinders remaining. 

The man flashed a smile: a vulgar smile. To him, everything was just a means to earning more fame and money, even his family. 

The girl clenched her fingers and formed a fist, but she didn't let any anger show. 'So this is what it felt like for you?' She finally understood the pain of her sisters, though she didn't want to. 

"You may leave."

Just outside, the girl fumed. There were sparks around her. An order from that man meant everything in this house and she knew that. 

Her eyes shimmered but they didn't leak. Her fiery red hair floated midair but the sparks never caught onto anything. She was calm, too calm. If she wasn't calm, this whole building would have burned down, like that farmhouse, seven years ago.

'Krystal… sis…' 

Yet, she couldn't do anything about her fate. She was powerless, hopeless. 

***

Blood dripped on the grass. The sun was about to set. People were everywhere, watching, as two girls were fighting to the death: more like one was killing the other. 

"I held back your punishment till now since I assumed he'd do something." The girl began. Her snow-white hair was actually even whiter today. Her eyes burning bright red. "But, it would seem he is content in just reporting you." She smiled. But her usual nonchalant attitude was nowhere to be found. It was almost as though, she was mad? But did she really possess that emotion? She herself was surprised as much as anyone else. "Therefore, I shall carry out your sentence."

"How nice of you." the girl in the receiving end smiled bitterly. Her balance was all over the place. Her legs shook and she didn't have the energy to even stand up straight. And yet, she refused to fall on her knees. "But you should know, I'm immortal." It was more of a bluff than anything else.

Both girls were teenage in appearance but perhaps the girl on the receiving end looked more mature. 

The girl with the snow-white hair- Hyorin Battlesuin, laughed hysterically. It was rare for her to raise her voice to this extent. Very rare indeed. "Immortal? You? A lesser breed? Do you even have the slightest clue girl, what immortality even is?"

 "What do you?" The girl- Aurora Hleilis paused. It was odd. Now that she thought about it, this girl, this Battlesuin girl was running around in broad daylight like it was no problem and her moves were inhuman and so was her speed. She couldn't have been a true vampire, or perhaps… something worse? "White hair… red eyes…. Baltesuin. You're not the primordial-"

"If lessers were really immortal, then the world would have been filled with them." Hyorin smiled. Her earlier emotions were nowhere to be found. "Now then." She raised one arm and closed in on the distance in an instance. She went past Leilis. 

It took Leilis three seconds to realize she was now missing something. 'An arm?' Her arm wasn't attached anymore. It was slithering on the floor. She grimaced and grabbed her shoulder, a knee on the floor. 

But an arm was a little price to pay considering the enemy she'd faced. If it weren't for her superhuman survival instincts, it would have been her head. 

'It's not healing….' As pain shot through her arm, she bit her lips with distraught. Since when was the last time she felt pain like this? 

On that day forty years ago? No, that was worse. This was nothing compared to that. 

"What is going on here?" A new voice resounded. 

The crowd here was awfully quiet but one girl spoke up: everyone was so afraid that they forgot to even whisper. 

Two girls came to the center. "And I thought it was my stupid brother." The girl sighed and turned to the other girl. "Let's go to the club I guess. I sure hope mom didn't find him first."

Leilis felt a strange familiarity with the girl. Had she met her before? No, she could never forget a face. But her concern was something else. The Battlesuin. She turned around but, the Battlesuin's, Hyorin's attention was on the new girl. She disappeared and before Leilis could turn her head. She saw the Battelsuin girl right next to the new girl. 

So fast. Was that even achievable with speed alone? If she was breaking through the sound barrier shouldn't there have been booms? Why was she so quiet? How could she be?

A lot of questions went through Leili's mind, but she chose to focus on something else instead. 

Hyorin touched the girl's cheeks like she was stroking a wild cat: almost as if she was taking extra steps so she wasn't scaring her. "You there girl, what is your relationship with Helio?" The question came out of nowhere. It was almost as she felt something in that new girl. 

Just the sheer mention of the name made the girl squint. "I could ask the same to you." Though her tone wasn't hostile, she wasn't very fond of this girl either. 

"M-my lady." The girl next to the new girl bowed on her knees. 

But Hyorin didn't even give her a glance. "Hmm." She grabbed a cluster of the new girl's hair and sniffed it. 

The girl quickly backstepped. "Are you crazy?" Water floated around in the air. 

"The smell isn't quite similar…. Half?" Though Hyorin was skeptical of something she didn't make a scene and just smiled. "Now for the unfinished business." She turned around and Leilis was gone, so was the severed arm. "I suppose that is… a shame."

***

Meanwhile, beneath a tree far away, Leilis caught her breath. 

'She was a primordial? Wasn't those things supposed to be extinct!?' 

She was very shaken. 'And wasn't that teleportation?' Her teeth clattered. 'And those nails…' She still remembered the sensation of being cut. Her regeneration was slow and almost like when she was human. 'That monster…. Could it be?'

Primordial vampires were the originator of the vampires. In the past, there were only three. From these three came the true vampires and in time, vampires regressed and lesser vampires were born as the servants of the true vampires. But all three primordials were supposed to be dead and the true ones were nearly extinct as well, so who was this girl?

"But I've to snitch this up first." She couldn't lose an arm. Not while she knew she was going to die without it. Vampires were supposed to be immortal but they weren't unkillable. If this wasn't near evening, she wouldn't have been able to get out of the shade in the first place. 

And she knew something big was about to happen pretty soon. She couldn't afford to be weakened. After all, to her, her life was greater than everything in this world.

"Maybe I can help with that." 

A young voice walked towards her. The voice belonged to a girl, but the body looked like that of a boy's. 

Leilis was skeptical but she didn't let it show. "I'm listening."
