At Amazimtoti University or the Blue uni as the students called it, it was compulsory for each student to participate in at least one club, minimum. There were the normal clubs such as different types of sports, the art club, chess and so on. The clubs that most people wouldn't even think twice about joining, and just join without a thought. But then you got the more 'abnormal' ones, which is what we qualified under.
The Vampire Hunters Club, or VHC for short, was a club formed by an older university student who went by the name of Vladimir Popescu, and ironically enough, he was also from Romania. Which would probably explain his passionate views on vampires. He had talked about starting this club for quite some time, so I've been told, only to get laughed at by many. But one day he set his mind to it and thus the club was formed, along with a little help from his best friend Arthur Kirkland, a British guy who had managed to make some ties with the higher-ups in our university.
We don't have that many members, in all honesty. There's myself and Tino and together we make a 'pair', and we're called 'Team Liquor'. Why? Your guess is as good as mine.
Vladimir and Arthur are another pair, Vlad is our leader with Arthur acting as deputy and together they are called the 'Scarecrow Duo'… Don't ask.
Katyusha, a girl from Ukraine, is paired with Edvaud who is from Estonia and together they are called 'Inertia'. That came about as both of them have a real love for the subject physics and decided on a team name together, how lucky~
Then there's a Spaniard by the name of Antonio who's paired with the Italian Lovino, they are "Tomati" or Tomato, if you wish. Five minutes in either of their presence and you'll know the explanation for that nickname.
And finally the last group is made up of two boys, one by the name of Emil Steilison, who if I'm not mistaken is the partner of a guy from Hong Kong, called Leon. They are "Team Licorice." They're definitely the quietest out of all the groups
All in all, that makes 10 vampire hunters with myself and Tino included. We meet for about one hour after classes end ever second day to discuss anything of note, such as evidence of any supernatural occurrences or the like. The main meeting that we hold falls on every Wednesday, and that's when we get serious. To all the other students, we're just a bunch of crazies with too much time on their hands, and in a way that's true…
But we have a secret.
Well, half of us have a secret anyhow.
Getting back to the present, I was currently on my way to the second group meeting for the week. As I walked through the park that separate's our meeting hall with the sports department, I couldn't help but smile. The sun was warm and shone down on my face, I wonder if Lukas enjoys walks in the parks with the sun shining down on him like this…? I'll ask him! And if he says yes, then this is where we're going to have our very first date! Plus, the feeling of the sun tingling on my skin is also kind of what I would imagine the feeling of Lukas' hands would be like, after all, yesterday when I grabbed them they were really warm.
Of course when I went to the Café this morning, I had asked Lukas about the blood but he wouldn't talk to me, perhaps he's still angry about yesterday? I hope not. Maybe one day when we get really close and intimate, I can introduce him to all my friends in the VHC! Something tells me he'd get along really well with Vlad and Arthur, I dunno why, just a thought~
Speaking of the devils, I opened the door and ducked just in time as a book was thrown over my head and my ears got bombarded with the sounds of yelling.
"Eat shit, you Tomato Bastardo!"
"Honestly Lovino, it was just a little squeeze, you don't have to be so upset mi toma~~"
"Look, usually I'd agree with Toni but this time I'm kinda on Lovino's side here."
"Hahaha! Arthur don't be such a stick in the mud, he was just trying to have some fun!" A Romanian voice yelled.
"Si~ Fun! That was all it was Lovi!"
"YOU SQUEEZED MY ASS YOU SHITHEAD." A pause, "And stop calling me Lovi!"
"Now now Lovino, let's all settle down- Ah! Matthias! Moi!"
Finally, someone noticed my presence! Geesh this place is a mess… but it always seems to be this way lately. The room was an ugly orange colour with red floored tiles and a few desks scattered here and there, but otherwise there was no décor present. Leon and Emil sat at a desk in the corner, chatting quietly amongst themselves and ignoring the surrounding chaos, while Eduard was typing away on a laptop with Katyusha sitting quietly by his side, trying not to get involved in the scuffle. She looked as if she was about to start to cry.
Lovino and Antonio, which I always like to call our clubs 'Romeo and Juliet', much to there, or should I say Lovi's dislike, were currently squabbling about the fact that Toni grabbed Lovi somewhere he shouldn't have. Vlad, our supposed 'responsible' leader was encouraging Toni in his debate while Arthur remarked some sassy side comments, probably just to egg Lovi on further.
And then there was Tino. Tino was basically the 'mom' of our groups of misfits, he helped us when we were injured, physically or emotionally, he tried to get things calm and make it so everyone in the VHC would leave the meeting room with a smile on their face. He was basically that one person that every school had that you couldn't, under any circumstances, dislike. And he fit that role perfectly.
"Matthias! Are you aware of the fact that you're late?" Oh Arthur…
"Of course! Fashionably late, as they say~" I gave the Brit a smirk and watched from the corner of my eye as Vlad jumped up onto the desk that stood in the front of the classroom. Whistling, the Romanian called us all over now that everyone was present. Or so I thought.
"Everyone! I have some announcements as well as news that I think will make you all really curious~ First off, I'd like to wish Katyusha a 'well done' in acing that physics assignment we got given. Honestly, how did you do so well in that!? Well anyway, congrats." He stopped speaking and we all gave a clap for Katy's success.
Vlad would do that sometimes. If he thinks you've done a really outstanding job of something, he'll announce it and we'll have to clap for that person. Although, sometimes it can be for something really stupid. I've just come to the conclusion that Vlad likes to make people clap a lot.
For example, once they all clapped for me because of an oral I'd done in English involving the Illuminati… Don't ask. It's a long story.
"We'll get on to the announcements in a moment, but first I'd like to tell you the big news. As of today, the VHC officially has 11 members! That's right, were going to be seeing a new face to bring some light to our normal routine!" Wait, what? 11 is an even number, that makes no sense! "Now, you will all probably be wondering how this is going to work with the partner story, but trust me, we'll find a way. However, there is a catch and I don't think many of you will be very happy with it. But ultimately, I'm the leader and thus because I've approved it, it has been done."
"A catch? What type of catch?" He had been right; I really was curious.
"Well you see, the new member… He doesn't come from our school; he comes from the Red uni." Vlad put a hand behind his head and gave a short laugh.
"Whaaaaaat?! No way! Why would you let a Red bastard into our group! That makes no sense!" Lovi didn't look too happy and I could understand how he felt.
Arthur quickly piped up to defend our leader, "True, even I saw the faults in the system, but I've met this boy personally and he'll be of no threat to our secrets. He's a little on the quiet side but overall, he's got very good morals if I do say so myself. And he's also mentioned that he has someone certain in mind for a partner that he'd like to request."
Just as the words left Arthurs lips, the door swung open and a blonde man stood at the door with a neutral expression on his face, staring at all of us.
Staring at myself and Tino specifically.
"Everyone, I'd like for you to meet the newest member of the VHC…
Berwald Oxenstierna!"
Chapter 3 done n' dusted~
Please leave suggestions, kudos or comment as it will make me very happei~~
I'm writing this story, as well as another Danganronpa one but I'm finding it so funny as this one is more humorous and than I just go back to the DR one and it's all angst and sadness, so they completely contradict each other xD
Thank you for reading~
