1664 Words
Far in the east of the Earth, the large oceanic island country Roi is located. It is ruled by a democratic government and in its southern region, a state named Yama is where our school, La Anjou Famille Academy can be found. Our school is one of the most prominent private schools in the country and is enclosed in a 120 acre of property. The Academy boasts 2 modern buildings that the pre-school and middle school uses, and a main building which looks like an old mansion from the pre-truce era that the high school uses, there are two dormitories, one for the female and the other for the male students, one administration building, an auditorium and a sports complex just behind the main school building.   August 5, 20 P.W.   The school ground today is lively, there are a lot of students, old and new walking towards the campus. Yesterday, an orientation for all the new students were held at the auditorium. Everyone seems to get along, humans and vampires that is. Our school is not the only one allowing humans and vampires to co-exist however, in our school there were only a handful of vampire students enrolled but many of whom are from the powerful family of vampires that have seats in the government and the military.   One thing that I love about the Academy is the fresh air. There are a lot of trees surrounding the campus and behind the school buildings there are several beautiful mountains however, they are off limits. A sudden gust of wind blew my red ribbon off and my long black hair got messed up. Ahh, the school seems like trying to tell me that I will have another spectacular year.   Hi, my name is Tachibana Sayaka, 17 years old, human. Today is the start of my final year in this Academy. I wonder if I will ever miss this school, the clear blue sky with clouds that never disappears, the greenhouse, the lake, uhh what I am even thinking in the first day of school. I need to hurry up before the bell rings, I don’t want to be late in his class.   ***   “After several millennia the human and vampire race have come to a truce. But did you know that there were other races too?”   “- Yes Teach!”  a female student answered enthusiastically interrupting the teacher’s discussion.   “Yes Miss Darlton? Can you tell us what the other races that existed before the truce are? What are they like?” he said as he walk in the middle of classroom holding his chalk.   “There were werewolves, orcs, goblins, dwarves, elves, sirens and lamia…” the young miss paused and looked at her teacher’s eyes.   “And? What are they like? Can you describe them Isabelle?” the teacher smiled as he approached the desk of the student.   Isabelle looked at him with her sparkling eyes. She is astonished of the figure approaching him. Who wouldn’t be? Look at him. Stunning as always. Tall, pale skin, slender body with a neat slick back hair and piercing blue eyes.   Isabelle took a heavy breathe and her lips are slightly opened. The teacher grinned and called her name again. “Isabelle?”   “I’m so sorry Lord Ehrensvard”   “- Ahh, no. In this classroom you should call me Mr. Cloud. In this school I am teacher.” He said in a serious tone but with a smiling face.   “I’m so…so..rry…“ Isabelle is now shaking, she is feeling an aura that the other students can’t feel except Sayaka.   Sayaka looked at Cloud and he just closed his eyes and smiled. He snap with his right hand and called for Isabelle again. “Isabelle?” he smiled as he lean towards her. “Are you okay?”   “-Yes Mr. Cloud!” she answered immediately. Her shaking had stopped and she is back to her sparkling eyes her lips are curved up smiling.   “Alright, let us not talk about them one by one coz number one; they’re all gone number two; they are in your textbooks starting on page 3 to 23.” Cloud walk back to chalkboard and wrote down the numbers and continued, “Every detail for each race is written in there, their physical appearance, their powers and in what countries or regions they were once dwelling and etc. You can study them on their own but there is a question I want you to answer. Why only vampires and humans remained at the end? Those races are undoubtedly stronger than humans but of course less powerful than us vampires.” Cloud’s blue eyes suddenly turned red. They are bright, beautiful but frightening.   The students gasped but Cloud immediately reverted back his eyes so as not to scare them off. Sayaka on the other hand exhaled in disbelief of this noble vampire’s action.   “Yes, Sayaka! Please answer.” Cloud called as he saw Sayaka raised her right hand.   “Humans are generally not stronger than the other races, and even vampires are even inferior to some of those races.” Her classmates turned to her in disbelief for her little snide remark. “However, we humans have the grit to survive. We gathered intelligence, developed strategies, weapons and cooperated to fight and protect ourselves. We continued to improve on whatever tools and techniques that we have in order to fight and from a small scale raid we made bigger raids, hunting each race that is a threat to us. The other races were easy to identify because they have distinct features that we humans can identify but vampires are different. You look like humans, you act like humans and live with humans. That made it difficult for us to fight your kind.  For centuries we humans have fought your kind, but as we grow in numbers so can you by turning humans to one of your kind. The fight is no longer small scale and a war broke out. In the end, both races have to deal with heavy casualties and decided to make a truce and for the next centuries and in current time we were able to co-exist based on the set of rules that our fore founders of the world government has established.”   Cloud clap his hands grinning and Sayaka raised her left eyebrow.   “You may take your seat now Sayaka. Thank you for the answer.” Before Cloud can continue another student raised a hand.   “Yes Mr. Walter, what can I do for you?” he asked.   “Uhhh, Mr. Cloud… Lady Tachibana mentioned that…”   “Please, students, please drop all the honorifics of Lord, Lady and the like inside the classroom. I don’t like them hearing them here.” he interrupted.   “I’m sorry Mr. Cloud.”   “Go on.”   “Uhh, Sayaka-san mentioned that you vampires can turn humans into vampires, are you one of those Mr. Cloud given that you are part of the nobility of the vampire race? I’m sorry for asking.” He seated immediately fearing he might have asked something out of the line.   “It is okay Chad.” Cloud said shaking his head lightly. “To answer your question. Yes! I can turn anyone of you to become a vampire. Do you want to become one? I am recruiting.” He chuckled.   Sayaka eyes grew big. What is the purpose for hyping the students?  She is again in disbelief of Cloud’s antics. She has known Cloud since she was in middle school but she can’t believe that this centuries-old noble vampire are never out of antics.   “But! I am not allowed to. Unless, you consent to it!” he answered smiling devilishly.   The students began to chattering each other with mixed reactions but mostly with excitement.   “Then, then Mr. Cloud,” another student suddenly burst out, “Are you a pure blood vampire then?”   Cloud looked at the student sharply for a brief second then smiled. “No. I am not.”   The students looked at Cloud then looked backed to their classmate who asked. They are puzzled and Cloud noticed it.   “Hmm, I see that you are puzzled little ones. Miss Erin Walsh there mentioned something very interesting… and something that most have forgotten. I am a noble and yes I can turn humans into vampires but I am not a pureblood vampire. Not all nobles are pureblood vampires. We noble vampires are rare in their own right but pure-blooded vampires are even rarer… almost extinct. Only a handful like our current governing monarch, her grace, and her first degree relatives. And we cannot compare our lowly selves with them.”   “How do we know that a vampire is pureblood Mr. Cloud?” Erin continued.   “Why don’t we ask one right now?” Cloud answered, he gestured for his students to look at the back row. He closed his eyes placed his right hand on his chest and muttered some words the students cannot hear.   The students look at the back row and saw a beautiful blonde hair male student wearing the same uniform as theirs. He looks like sleeping in peace with his arms crossed and his head slightly lowered. He muttered something, lifted his head and opened his eyes.   The students saw his crimson eyes but they were again puzzled. They didn’t feel any aura unlike when their teacher cloud turned to his vampire eyes. They looked at Cloud with funny faces because they think that their teacher is making a joke out of them.   Cloud laugh loudly shaking his head and wiped his tears of joy.
