The System of a Vampire Chapter 121 - Factions

Draig eventually exited his room leaving his Talisman curtain in place, Ginji was still waiting outside like a kicked puppy until he saw the Feratu.

"Oh you're back, excellent. Why don't you let me look at the Divine Sword and see if it needs any sharpening" chirped Ginji excitedly.

Draig sighed, this person was persistent to a ridiculous degree.

"Fine but you have to do it inside my room" stated Draig causing Ginji to jump up with excitement though he had learned his lesson after the first time and waited for Draig to pull the curtain aside.

Once inside of the Feratu's room Draig unsheathed the Blade and Ginji looked at it with reverence, this was his greatest creation and he couldn't help but worship it. He may not be able to create something this grand again but he was certain that he could perhaps improve it in the future if he studied it properly.

"I am going out for a bit, this room is covered in the same runes as those on the curtain. If you attempt to run away with my sword you will find yourself in for quite a shock" stated Draig before leaving the room.

Ginji however had no intention of trying to run with the sword, he had nowhere to run and would only be able to hide inside the Academy without Draig accompanying him through the Gates. He was already lucky the Guards had broken protocol to allow him in but he figured that had more to do with Draig than them being generous, the looks on their faces when he described Draig said enough for him to guess this.

However with Draig he was looking around the Dorm when he heard yelling outside causing him to become curious. Following the noise he ended up in the courtyard alongside the Dorm leader and the others who resided within the building looking at an odd girl with purple hair, by her side were two people that Draig recognized.

'Ari and Yuki, what are they doing here' wondered Draig as he watched the them standing behind the girl like guards to royalty.

"Come and join the new Mugen Faction, with us you will be able to leave this delapidated living space and have a chance for a better future" called the girl causing those who were in the Dorm to snort in dismissal.

"If your Mugen Faction is so great then why are you here trying to recruit the bottom or the bucket" asked one of the residents of the Dorm causing a bout of laughter from those gathered.

"I want to give everyone a chance, nation's aren't just built on the backs of the powerful. They are built on a united front, together we are stronger than any one of us alone. This is why I am giving you this opportunity to improve your situation" answered the girl causing another round of laughter.

"Obviously we are stronger together than by ourselves, is that all you have" asked the Dorm leader joining in on teasing the girl while Yuki and Ari seemed to be resisting the urge to attack.

"Fine, if you wish to be that way then let me propose a wager" stated the girl causing those in the dorm to look on with interest.

"Yuki and Ari are strong Deva, I propose that we have a battle and any who are defeated must join my faction" stated the girl with a smirk causing the Dorm leader to smile in response.

"Then what if you lose, what do we get" asked the Dorm leader as if considering the wager.

"How about meal tickets" offered the girl which seemed to get the attention of the residents in the dorm but it seemed the Dorm leader wasn't interested.

"We have meal tickets already, if that is all you have to offer it is no wonder that no one wishes to join your faction" called out the Dorm leader causing the girl to scowl.

"Fine what do you want then" asked the girl.

"How about materials" suggested the Dorm leader.

"What kind of Materials" asked the girl as she seemed a bit hesitant on that note.

"To repair our dorm of course, as you said it is quite delapidated and our newbie is severely disappointed in it's appearance" stated the Dorm leader grabbing Draig and showing him to the group causing Yuki and Ari to widen their eyes.

"Draig" called the two in unison causing the girl in front of them to look at them before looking back towards the Feratu oddly.

"You know this guy" asked the girl

"Keiko this is Draig, he has a special ability and was even taken in by our deceased emperor because of how unique it is." reported Yuki causing those of Dorm E to look at Draig in surprise, they wondered how someone like that ended up rank E.

The now named Keiko looked at Draig appraisingly before shrugging her shoulders as if to say he didn't seem like much which seemed to have provoked the Feratu as he reached down to grab the Thousand fold Blade only to find it was missing.

"Excuse me for one moment, I need to grab my sword" stated Draig causing everyone to look at him strangely as they looked to the Rapier.

"Don't make excuses, you sword is on your hip though I wonder how you use that thing at all with how flimsy it is" laughed Keiko causing Draig to smirk.

"This isn't my sword" chuckled Draig causing everyone to look at him.

"This is just my brush" finished the Feratu causing everyone to look at him crazily.

"Do you think I am stupid, that is obviously a sword of some kind." growled Keiko thinking she was being made fun of.

Draig just chuckled as he mentally deactivated the runes in his room.

"Ginji" called Draig loudly causing a bump to be heard from the second floor of the dorm and the Smith came running out carrying the Thousand Fold Blade.

"Thank you, this girl here thinks she knows the difference between a sword and a Brush" smiled Draig as he took the sword from Ginji and unsheathed it causing the eyes of everyone to become drawn to it with greed in their eyes however that was soon wiped away when they saw the appearance of what looked a legion appear above him as an Avatar.

"Behold my sword" stated Draig as he looked at the paling face of Keiko as she looked at the bizarre Avatar.

He quickly sheathed it and tied it to his waste despite Ginji's protests before he took out his Rapier and the image of a Brush rose above him causing everyone to become gobsmacked at the spectacle.

Draig knew that he was going against his own plan of laying low but he couldn't stand being associated with scum thus he had to show them he was not one of them. He had merely been tricked in a sense.

"Behold my Brush" chuckled Draig as Keiko looked towards Draig in shock.

'Two Avatars, two of them. What kind of monster is he' was the unanimous thought of the crowd.

"Now you said you wanted to challenge this Dorm, well I am ready when you are" snorted Draig as the rest of the Dorm cheered at the spectacle enjoying the confidence Draig displayed.
