The System of a Vampire Chapter 130 - Dorm of Silence

Draig sat emotionlessly in the main area of the Dorm, his thoughts were undistinguishable as he continued to look out over the empty courtyard.

He hadn't known the people of Dorm E personally but that didn't change the fact that he missed the liveliness of the wretches that had once called this place home. He didn't interact with them in the short time he had been here but that was just the type of person he was, he had grown from the ruthless Heir to the strongest Vampire lineage into someone he didn't know how to explain. It seemed simpler in the old world, his path clearer so to speak.

Now though he was just another Deva, if he had to account his solemness it was the day he had learned of the fate of his allies in his home world. He hadn't expressed to them his earnest feelings due to the childishness of his nature, his Vampiric Heritage seemed to be the blockade that he used to prevent himself from making meaningful bonds.

'What's my excuse now. . .' thought Draig as his gaze went to the cup of tea he had been brought earlier that morning, it still sat there having grown cold.

He had released Keiko from her collar feeling that he couldn't find the mood to toy with the girl any longer, Ari and Yuki had stopped by to visit occasionally during the weeks that had passed since the genocide of Dorm E to check on him oddly.

Ginji and Aoi hadn't spoken to him since the incident causing the Feratu to feel even more alone than normal, it was a feeling he knew well. Growing as a child spited by those around him he knew the feeling of being truly alone even when surrounded by people. This was a feeling he had come to use as fuel for his hate during those years allowing him to continue on despite the opposition.

Looking towards the sky he watched as the clouds began to grow dark and thunder started to rumble among them.

'Even the heavens find it difficult to remain bright all the time. . .' noted Draig mentally, he continued to sit in silence unaware that there was a group of people on their way to meet him.

"Boru, you should know better than to allow someone to do as they please regardless of your brother's wrong doings" sneered a woman who looked more like a bandit than a Deva, the large club on her back covered in spikes.

"If you had seen this person in action you would have done the same, besides Tsukuba had crossed the line entirely this time. He annihilated a whole Dorm over a petty squabble, do you think the Deva Association will continue to turn a blind eye to mindless slaughter" countered Boru looking to the woman woman with crimson hair.

At their side was an odd assortment of people, nine of them to be exact. Each wearing a Sash to display their station as Disciplinary Committee members however on each of their wardrobes was a symbol representing a Faction. They had their sights set on Dorm E and the occupant inside at the moment, their pace was slow but meaningful as they each carried a weapon different from the last however among them was one person carrying a sword though it seemed more like a farming sickle than a Sword.

Soon the group came before the gates of the Dorm and laid their eyes on Draig sitting silently staring at the clouds.

"Is this the person you were talking about" asked the woman who was apparently the leader of the Disciplinary Committee looking towards Bory doubtfully.

"That is him, don't let his persona fool you. He is a dangerous person" answered Boru not afraid to admit his hesitance to deal with the Feratu.

Draig continued to stare at the storm clouds building for some time until he decided to acknowledge the presence of his guests scanning over them with his eyes though this seemed to have an odd effect on the woman with the club.

'Such pretty eyes' remarked the woman staring at those crimson orbs that contained too many things to be able to decipher.

The two parties stared at one another for some time but neither spoke, Draig seeing that they wouldn't speak returned to staring at the clouds somberly.

"Hana, aren't you going to tell him why we are here" asked Boru causing the other members of the Committee to look at her questioningly.

"Of course" stated the now named Hana as she stepped into the yard of the Dorm bringing Draig's eyes back to the group.

"So you are the one that killed Tsukuba" started Hana which seemed to make Draig's eyes flicker back to reality as he placed his hand on the Thousand Fold blade.

"Be careful of that man's technique, it isn't normal" warned Boru causing Hana and the rest to look at him strangely.

Boru was by far the most merciful of the Committee but he was also the calmest, nothing was able to rattle him but seeing this person lay his hand on his sword caused him to panic like that.

"I have eliminated one that goes by that name, have you come to seek vengeance on his behalf" asked Draig as he stood up and his Avatar started to manifest showing many Dark outlines of people from his previous world.

Now Hana and the rest of the Committee began to understand what would make Boru unsettled, this person had an entire Legion as his Avatar. This did a bit to put them on guard.

"That is our intention, we cannot allow people to act against our Disciplinary Committee and do as they please" stated Hana as the rest of her members placed their hands on their weapons.

"If that is the case then I won't let any of you leave here alive" stated Draig as several Talismans flew from his hands erecting a cage of sorts around the Dorm causing the Disciplinary Committee to go on guard.

Hana and the rest looked at Draig as if he had lost his mind but they weren't aware of what the Deva from another world was capable of as he began to draw his sword making the image of his Avatar become infinitely clearer.

"If you all continue down this path then I can only show you the gates of hell" continued Draig as he took his Rapier in his other hand causing his Brush Avatar to manifest as well which did the task of alarming these Committee members.

'Two avatars, what the hell is this. .' thought Hana as her comrades of the Committee slowly took their hands away from their weapons and held them up as if to say they didn't wish for any trouble.

They didn't wish to tempt fate, they weren't aware of his power level but if they jumped the gun and assumed they could defeat him and that was not the case then they would have caused them to form irreconcilable differences with him thus guaranteeing their death. On top of this he didn't seem the least bit intimidated fighting all of them together which did a great deal in dissuading them.

Seeing the action of her would be comrades Hana could only relinquish the hold on her weapon.

"Very well then let us speak" stated Hana causing the Committee members to look at her in surprise.

'Hana wants to speak, has hell frozen over' thought the Committee members.
