11 Hero

I ran like I've never run before, Chloe seemed to slow down his speed to follow me, it makes sense if we compare our levels. After the greatest endurance test I've ever had in my two lives, I arrived in time.

There were many soldiers in the field, just as before they did not wear armor, it may be strange if we think that this world borders on the middle ages, but if we think of status, it could be because they trusted their strength or armor is simply useless when compared to their strength.

From the conversations I've had, a vampire is on average three times stronger than a human, that is, I'm currently equivalent to a level-three human, yet an adult is usually at level seven or eight, if not a combatant.

Lucio, who was nearby, seems to notice us.

"You're almost late." He says closing in.

"I ended up forgetting my training and sleeping too much." Chloe says.

Soon after, she releases a dull laugh, she's probably laughing because she's nervous.

"I'm sorry, it was my fault too." I say.

Although I didn't really know about it.

"Enough talk, here's your training outfit." He says turning me in. "Go change."

The clothes that the other soldiers wore black pants and the red top, to which he gave me however was totally black. I change into a tank nearby and go back to the training camp.

"I'm ready." I'm approaching Lucio.

"Get in the circle." He says pointing a little forward.

A circle was drawn on the ground, there was a radius of about five meters, I enter like he said.

"You'll have a one-on-one fight with Chloe." He says looking at her.

"Me?" Chloe looked amazed.

"You're one of the only ones who can hold on, if you were somebody else, you could end up killing him by accident." Lucio says looking around.

The other soldiers were approaching, they probably wanted to see what I could do or see me get caught, this second option is the most likely.

"Roger that." She says entering the circle.

I can hear giggles coming from the soldiers who were closest, maybe she was chosen because she is one of the weakest? They seem to take her foot, for sure because she's second generation, that makes me angry, but I can't focus on that now, I'll fight with everything I have.

"So, shall we get started?" Chloe says stand guard.

"No guns?" I ask.

"First I want to see you fighting empty-handed." says Lucio. "Then we'll see your performance with weapons."

Chloe doesn't like very used to fighting, even on guard was full of openings, but can I really use that against her? Won't they suspect me if I fight with everything? Before I can think about it, I hear Lucio's voice.

"Begin!"

As soon as he gave the signal my opponent advances, maybe she thought of catching me off guard right at the start, her speed is greater than anyone I've ever fought with. I was getting the punch that was aimed at my face and I could pass by her side, so I stayed behind her. Just as her speed the reaction was absurd, when I turn around she was already coming towards me again.

"Both fight well." I can hear Lucio's voice.

Well? She's attacking me with no purpose and I'm barely able to deviate.

But that gave me an idea, she seems to be afraid of hurting me, probably from what Lucio said before, her speed and strength seem to be contained. That'll probably hurt.

When she's close to me I turn around, leaving the side of my body exposed. Just as I imagined, she saw the opening and hit a punch in my rib, I feel the pain go all over my body, it's like being hit by an iron bar. With this opportunity holding her arm, then I apply a judo blow called Yama-arashi throwing her on the ground, I used her strength to knock her down.

"Victory of Ioan." announces Lucio.

Some soldiers try to hide their laughter, but others don't even that, they just laugh at Chloe. Shit, I ended up focusing too much on the fight and I got serious.

I shouldn't have done that, I hope she's not mad at me, after all, now they'll get even more on her feet.

"What was that blow?" She gets up quickly and asks me.

Her eyes were glowing, didn't she see everyone around her laughing at her? Actually it's not that, she seems to know very well what they're talking about, but she doesn't give a damn.

"I ended up doing it on instinct." I laugh. "So I don't know if there's a name or something."

"By instinct?" Lucio asks. "You seemed to know very well what you were doing."

I'm not very good at lying, this is a known defect, so I usually tell half-truths, I just hide a few parts. It's true that I did it on instinct, but when I was a minor I was trained in martial arts and then lived my whole life being pursued, I have a lot of experience in combat.

"I just saw a big opening and I held it." I say.

"I see." says Lucio.

He seems to have convinced himself with this, the truth is anyone with the minimum of knowledge in martial arts would see her openings, are huge, seemed a complete amateur.

"Now let's try that." Lucio says throwing two wooden swords in our direction. "I've seen you have a knife throw ability, see if you can use any other weapons."

Should I lose on purpose? I think I can do relatively well with almost all the weapons, of course I'm not very good with all, but I can turn around. I look at Chloe, her aura was completely different.

"Begin!"

Chloe's moving again at full speed. This time it was totally different, I realize that if I try to lose now I will come out badly hurt, she puts the sword on her waist, soon after the draw in a frightening speed. Iaijutsu?!

I defend the first strike, but it turns the sword and attacks from top to bottom.

"Shit..." I end up talking when I absorb your blow.

I put my sword on the diagonal so that it would slide down mine, it worked, but the powerful blow can be felt the same way, the difference is very big, even being of the second generation it is still level twenty-three.

"It's over." She says by squeezing the sword hard.

When she says that she gives a sword with her sword, I can defend the first one, but soon after I get the second blow. Was that an aikido technique? The force of the impact was so great that I am thrown out of the circle and roll out on the ground.

"I won!" screams with a leap of joy.

"You're very good with the sword." I say sitting on the floor.

That was a big surprise, how someone can be so good using a sword and still have so many openings when he fought empty-handed.

"As always, no one can hold out much against Chloe when it comes to swords." Lucio is approaching.

"She's really amazing." I say.

"Best in the kingdom." He ends up looking around.

I look around, all the riders who laughed before were quiet, probably already lost to her, some were even red with rage. All because she's better than you? These vampires are very childish, but they are still a surprise, the best in the whole kingdom.

When Lucio praises her face turns red, can it be more obvious than that? But he doesn't seem to understand or at least pretend.

"Well, now the next one." says ignoring her.

"Is there more?" I ask.

After that, we tested several weapons. He was impressed when he saw me using bow and also fighting with spears. Actually, it was to be expected, since they're my best weapons. I trained a lot of bows and arrows when I was young, I was at a national level when I was still a teenager, but I couldn't continue with that problem. Fighting with spears I've learned over time, I don't have a lot of technique, but I can turn around.

"You're the strongest rookie I've ever seen." Lucio seemed impressed.

"In terms of fighting technique, it's above most characters." Chloe, talk.

Lucio keeps quiet for a while, probably thinking about something. I just stopped trying to look weak after being beaten by Chloe. It may have been a little childish, but I'm different from the soldiers, I just wanted to show them that not only am I not weak, but also Chloe beat me because I was too strong. At least that's what I want to believe.

"I think it's possible." He grumbles.

"What?" I ask.

"Huh? Oh, it's nothing, I was just thinking out loud." He says a little dull. "That's all for today, I want you to come tomorrow at the same time."

After that, me and Chloe came home. The other day we were in the training camp, but a little earlier this time.

"So, shall we get started?" I hear Lucio's voice coming after me.

When I turn around, he's next to Queen Ruby, plus several guards.

"Your Highness." I say with reverence.

"You don't need so much formality." She says stop bowing. "I just found something interesting that Lucio told me."

"Just do what you did yesterday." says Lucio.

After that I started training with Chloe again. We did the same sequence as yesterday, everyone was impressed in four moments, when I fought empty-handed, with the spear, in the knife throw and when I took the bow. I even saw some knights with their mouths open.

"Interesting, I've never heard of a born vampire." Actually, I don't think there are many races that have had them, other than humans, of course."

I kept quiet because I thought it would be rude to ask, but Ruby looks in my direction before he talks.

"We have a hero."
