39 Training (1/2)
The holograms acts accordingly to how they're programmed to be. Acting like a normal student and interacts with the hunters as well. The intruder is currently on the move heading towards the second floor. With his speed he won't be notice by just ordinary people. Tyler and Li tracts him down with the use of the cameras within the dorm. They're sensors are very sensitive and the cameras can capture movements even at top speed.
”Hunters on the second floor, intruder incoming.” Tyler informs them thru the special watches every hunter have.
”Copy.” A girl from room 206 slowly gets up from the bed making no sound if possible. Her roommate is asleep and it's better if she doesn't know anything. She went for the door and readies her dagger. She successfully gets out of her room and heads towards the stairs. There are two girls already waiting for the intruder. She runs to their side and finds a place to surprise the intruder with a sneak attack. They can hear footsteps that are almost faint.
”Phase 1 of the training. Open your senses. Vampires can move at unimaginable speed. Even feels like a gust of wind. As hunters, you should know the difference between the two.” Li finds it better to train them in actual combat while reminding them of all the lessons Carolina discussed with them. The three girls looks at each other and signals one another to be more alert. With just a few second they feel a sudden gust passing by them. They followed him and calls on the other hunters on the third floor.
”The intruder's going up. We lost him.”
”Got that, we're on the move.” Hilda resides at the third floor. She witnessed how Carl fights back with the vampires when they're attacked. She can hear the vampire getting closer. She wears a night vision glass that Tyler upgraded which can detect movements and locate how far they are. The intruders is just 17 meters away from her. She runs towards it while it's heading up the stairs and stabs it with the dagger. The vampire blocked her attack and pushes her to the wall. She groans in pain but still able to stand up. The other girls arrives and helps her deal with the vampire.
”Phase two. Observe your enemy's movements. Know when an enemy attacks.”
”Yes Miss Li.” One girl slowly steps back to keep her distance from the intruder. The intruder no longer runs away but is now ready to fight. He transforms into his vampire form and attacks instantly. The girls failed to block his attack nor dodge it. He pulled the hair of one of the girls and tilts her head showing up her neck. Before he can do something to her, Hilda fired a silenced gun hitting his back. He's obviously hurt and let's go of the girl. He suddenly stand beside Hilda and takes away the gun from her hands. He choked her up but Hilda just smiles instead of showing fear. Erica stabs the intruder's heart with a katana made of silver. The vampire looses his grip on Hilda and drops her to the floor. The others help her while Erica deepens the katana inside him and finds it's way out on the other side. He grips on the blade trying to push it back but it only causes him to bleed even more. To make sure he won't survive, Erica twisted the katana before pulling it out. The intruder didn't disappear instantly unlike the first gen vampires. Just like what Carolina suspected, third generation vampires turns into ashes when they lost enough blood to sustain their bodies. Later on it slowly turns into ashes and disappears. Hilda's injuries are not that severe. Having trained their body's to endure pain really helped. But still they lack skills when it comes to combat.
”Phase three. Don't ever bleed in front of the enemies. Blood will make them rage unable for them to think straight. They're not use to their bodies yet so it will be troublesom for us to counter them in that certain state.” Li appears in front of them transforming from a bat jntor her human form.
”Miss Li, I'm sorry I failed.” Hilda looks down with tears falling from her eyes.
”You did great. But this kind of fighting skills won't do when we're up to an army of them. We really need proper training grounds.”
”Not just training grounds but trainers as well. Carolina already taught them everything there is to know about the enemies. Her combat skills suits her style perfectly but not for the other hunters. If Volton finds out how were having trouble with just one vampire he'll take this opportunity to wipe us out entirely.” Nicholson shows up while gasping his breath from walking up the stairs.
”You're truly right Mr. Dean. By the way Erica, where did you learn to use a katana?”
”Oh, my grandfather had a dojo ones and I grew up with him in Japan. He taught me everything till my parents decided to migrate here in the US.” Even though Erica's shy, she's very fierce when she handled the enemy.
”By any chance, is your grandfather still alive?”
”Yes, do you want me to convince him to teach her at Sun University? He's also quite a disciplinarian. I'm sure we can learn a lot from him.”
”If you can convince him of course.”
”I'll do my best. Can I tell him every detail as to why we need him?”
”Sure, but it'll be much better if we can tell him directly.” Slacovich arrives at the area as well together with Diego and Ara.
”President Demonfire.” They all greeted him.
”I'll book a flight there by tomorrow. I'll bring along Erica and Ara. Li, I need you and Tyler to negotiate with the blacksmiths I've hired. Bring them along to the facility. The island is filled with silver ores which can help us with the gears that we need. As for you Diego, I need you to gather up information on Volton's accounts. His latest transactions and his assets market value. If one's market value sinks grab it immediately.”
”What if it's a trap?”
