To Fang Li, this word was far from unfamiliar.
In the world of Tsukihime, he had personally hunted down Roa and Nrvnqsr, two Dead Apostles, and even exterminated countless undead, all of them vampires.
In the world of Hidan no Aria, he had personally captured Vlad, the Dracula Count, and even defeated Vlad's daughter Hilda, who eventually came to follow Fang Li.
Moreover, the true ancestor power of a vampire, Arcueid, the princess of the Royal Family, resided within his own body. For Fang Li, vampires were nothing new.
So when he suddenly heard the word, he showed no surprise and remained perfectly expressionless.
However, Stiyl could not understand this reaction.
"…Could it be that you're not even slightly surprised?" After a long moment of silence, Stiyl exhaled deeply, as if determined to release all the emotions in his heart, and said, "That's a vampire we're talking about."
At that moment, his voice quivered slightly.
The tremor was subtle, almost imperceptible, but it was there.
What did it mean?
It meant that Stiyl was afraid.
Some might scoff at the idea of a church priest being afraid of a vampire.
But those who truly understood knew that vampires were far from the legends. They could not be defeated with crosses or silver weapons alone.
From the perspective of the magical world, vampires were terrifying.
"Magicians can use various techniques and spells to perform miracles, but such miracles are limited," Stiyl murmured, almost as if explaining it to himself. "The magic power required to perform miracles comes from life force, which is inherently finite."
If magic power were gasoline, then life force would be crude oil.
No matter how advanced the magic technique or spell, a magician is not omnipotent if the amount of refined gasoline is limited.
"But vampires have no such limitation," Stiyl continued, staring ahead. "They possess infinite Life Force. Infinite Life Force means potentially infinite Magic Power. If they can wield magic, even one of them could trigger a crisis on a nuclear scale. Their existence is a nightmare for any magician."
Thus, for magicians, vampires were fearsome creatures.
Index had once said that magic was an extremely dangerous power. For ordinary people, using it even once or twice would accumulate toxins in the body; if taken in excess, it could instantly kill.
Magicians, however, willingly walk the path of destruction, fully aware of this.
Vampires, on the other hand, never die no matter how much they use this power.
Because of this, vampires were a threat that only magicians could truly comprehend.
"Not to mention, they multiply simply by sucking blood. If they don't grow old, they'll eventually replace every other creature on the planet, and humans themselves could disappear," Stiyl said, glancing at Fang Li. "Facing such a being, I can't believe you can remain so calm."
Fang Li merely smirked at Stiyl's words.
"Of course I'm calm," He said casually. "After all, I'm not someone who hasn't killed vampires before."
"What did you say?" Stiyl exclaimed.
"What's so surprising?" Fang Li said without even flinching. "Just because you can't kill undying creatures doesn't mean I haven't."
Stiyl recalled then.
The man before him possessed Mystic Eyes that, in theory, could even kill a god.
"Compared to gods, vampires are much easier to kill."
Fang Li's tone made it sound as if he were talking about swatting an insect, not slaying a vampire.
"Besides, this world isn't just about vampires. There are Saints like Kanzaki, angels recorded in the Bible, and even beings like Magic Gods. Compared to them, vampires are definitely much easier to deal with."
Of course, this only applied to vampires of the Roa and Nrvnqsr rank.
If it were a vampire of Arcueid's rank, the True Ancestor, then even with his current strength, Fang Li still wouldn't be able to handle it so casually.
Stiyl's fear might simply stem from the fact that vampires have never been proven to exist.
"At least, there haven't been any confirmed sightings of a real vampire yet, right?" Fang Li said leisurely to Stiyl. "That's why you're so afraid, isn't it?"
"…I can't deny that," Stiyl said, seeming to calm down and sighing softly. "However, as long as Himegami Aisa is involved, sightings may appear very soon."
At the end, Stiyl added an emphasis.
"As long as the 'blood-sucking assassin' is there."
This made Fang Li raise his eyes slightly.--------- "Blood-sucking assassin."
As the name implies, it is an ability capable of killing vampires.
The origin of this ability was not in the Academy City Library, but recorded in the British Library.
However, the British Library did not detail the full extent of what the blood-sucking assassin could do, only that it could be used against vampires.
"According to the intelligence I have, the girl called Himegami Aisa possesses this ability," Stiyl said, tapping the photo in Fang Li's hand.
"In Academy City, her ability is considered a Gemstone, so she is classified as an Ability User and is under the city's protection."--------- "Gemstone."
That is, someone who naturally possesses an ability without requiring development of an esper power.
Himegami Aisa, by virtue of her blood-sucking assassin ability, qualifies as a Gemstone by Academy City standards.
"Currently, Aureolus has imprisoned the blood-sucking assassin and forcibly taken over Misawa Cram School as a stronghold, turning it into a den of magic and fortifying it," Stiyl said. "We believe he intends to use the blood-sucking assassin to capture vampires and use them as research material."
Research what?
Immortality?
Infinite Magic Power?
These were all things worth studying.
"My job is to resolve this incident and rescue the blood-sucking assassin," Stiyl concluded.
Fang Li, however, had been acting casually all along, as if merely going along with Stiyl.
This only confirmed Stiyl's suspicion. Fang Li had already known the whole story of the incident and perhaps knew even more than he did.
"You…" Stiyl opened his mouth to say something.
But Fang Li spoke first.
"We're here."
The two of them stopped in their tracks. Before them, shrouded in darkness, stood the imposing four-story building.
The Academy City branch of Misawa Cram School.
