The Absolute Twin Magician

Mentors

"Zay... Endarkers...."

A creepy voice popped into my head, as if calling my name continuously.

"Who's there?!!"

I tried to call, but there was no answer from across. As far as the eye could see, all I saw was a pitch-black empty space. There is no living being, no light, only me.

"You just have to obey me... Zayn Endarker's...."

The voice came back. It made me turn around to find the source of the mysterious voice.

As I turned my head, a black shadow appeared darting very quickly towards me.

"...just follow what I want!!!"

Right after the moment the shadow hit me, I instantly came to a realization.

I immediately jumped on the bed, cold sweat poured out, my heart was beating fast, and my head was hurting. My breath was breathless, like the man who just ran away.

It was a really weird dream, and a little bit horrible. If I'm not mistaken, I've heard that voice. At that time, when dealing with Orcholenius. The strange shadow that claimed to be Leon also appeared in my subconscious at that time. Is it maybe the same creature I just saw in my dream?

I haven't brought that up since I lost to Orcholenius, but right now the same thing is bothering me. Who is he, and what does he want from me?

I looked around. It looks like it's in a ReVoid treatment camp. I fainted and was saved.

Beside me, I found Aoi sleeping in a sitting position, resting her head on the bed. I glanced at him briefly. I can't believe he had this big face when he was asleep. I mean, Aoi does have a pretty face, but I can't believe she's even prettier and cute when she's asleep like this.

Just as I was about to get up from the bed, Aoi immediately woke up. Maybe because of my sudden movements, or it was time to wake up. I also paused my intention to go down and greet Aoi.

"You're awake, Aoi."

"Zayn?..Are you okay?" He rubbed his eyes while yawning.

"Yes, that's how it is...." My answer. "What happened while I was unconscious?"

"Yes, a lot's actually going on." Answer Aoi.

Aoi then told me everything that happened during my fainting spell. Starting from Liana who was injured, until Vience's death from dealing with Kayn and Fiera. Everything he told me was clear and concise.

"I was quite shocked when I saw Kayn and Fiera behaving like that. It's like seeing two different people...." Aoi.

"Yes, Kayn must have been very angry that Liana was so badly injured like that.."if Fiera anyway, you know for yourself how she behaved. It seems like he became like that when he saw me lying bloodied.I'm not surprised anyway."

"Ah..so yeah...." Aoi Mumbled.

"Other than that, it seems like everything is going well huh. You're so great."

"No. It's not surfing you think." Answer Aoi. Although he had just woken up, his face had already shown a sad expression. "Because of my delay, you've been hurt like this.As your mentor, I have failed...."

"What are you talking about Aoi? Didn't I also survive because you arrived with help. You came on time." Refute me.

"No, I'm late. That's why you got Vience's bite." Aoi still couldn't take it. "Even if you don't turn into a vampire, and you survive, I still don't think that everything's okay...."

I was silent for a moment. Looks like his high wiibawasnya already made him slumped just because of a small mistake. Because I was hurt, he blamed himself for being my mentor. He inflicted all his faults and sufferings on him, simply because he was my mentor. And that pisses me off a little.

"Aoi...could you stop saying that?" My speech. Aoi was silent and reluctant to look me in the eye.

I caught his shoulder immediately, forcing him to look me in the eye. He was silent, his face was lethargic, but slightly reddened.

"Z-zayn?.what are you doing?"

"Stop saying that you failed to be my mentor, Aoi!" I'm firm. "You saved me when we first met. You taught me all about vampires. You scolded me when I did something wrong. You trusted my very risky idea. I survived because of everything you taught me, and everything you trusted me. And you're still saying that you failed to be my mentor? Then you really let me down."

Aoi fell silent, fixedly staring at me. I also looked into his eyes tightly.

"You are my best mentor. And you're also my great partner. If you deny it, I'll still say it. I don't care what you think, but this is what I've been thinking. So, don't tell me you're a failed mentor anymore."

After saying that, I let go. Instantly he turned his face away from. At first glance, I realized that his face was starting to turn red.

"You really think like that...Zayn?" Ask.

"Of course."

Aoi slightly flinched, and then lowered her head down. He smiles. Looks like my words just managed to influence her.

I nodded, and retorted by patting her head softly. He did not resist, and let me stroke his head while bowing his head.

"Sorry yes, I accidentally saw your face while sleeping...."

Aoi's face turned red. He immediately turned his face away.

"That's no problem..You didn't mean it, did you?"

"Well, there's actually a little bit of intentional anyway...."

"D-basics are you a pervert?!". Shouted Aoi. "It's really rude!!"

Aoi hit my arm as usual. It seems, he has returned to being his usual self. It really relieved me. As this should be, Aoi's attitude must be maintained.

"Wah wah very compatible. But sorry, we need to talk about something here...."

A woman's voice appeared in front of the door. With him, a tall young man with black hair stood beside him. That woman is Kate Sonya, one of the Reigns who served in this city. And that young man, I don't really remember his name. But I think we've met before. Ah yes, in the previous meeting he was also present there. His name was Zoe Schaligen, the Great Sickle User Reign.

"Sister Kate?!"

"Why is that surprised Aoi? I'm entering normally, right?"

"N-not so. B-but, yeah...."

"Hehe, are you surprised that I suddenly showed up and disturbed this couple?"

"H-huh?! Wh-what does that mean sister Kate?! T-this isn't what you think!!" Denying Aoi

"Calm down Aoi, she's just trying to tease you. If you take it seriously you can be ashamed of yourself." Zoe.

"A-ah.I get it."

"Fufufu, you are so young, seeing such an expression from a youngster is indeed pleasant." Kate seemed to enjoy it. There seems to be something strange about this woman's hobby.

"Then, is there a problem?" My toot. "I'm sure you guys didn't come here just to tease Aoi, or just come see me, did you?"

"Well, get to the point, yeah.you're a boring guy, too...." Grouse Kate. "It's actually not a big deal. You just want to give you a little training, Zayn."

"training? For me?" Ask wonder.

"We've been getting reports about the number of vampires who attacked the city in this invasion. At least, there will be about 500 vampires coming to attack the city. And of those 500 vampires, 20 of them were noble vampires. Plus they belong to the upper class. They're above Vience and Chase...." Obviously Zoe.

Five hundred vampires, and twenty noble Vampire races?! Not to mention he said they were above Vience and Chase?! Isn't this bad?! Against Vience alone had left me as badly injured as before, how would it be if there were many stronger than them coming to attack me? I could have died. Even if it was Kayn, fighting that many noble vampires would definitely be very dangerous.

"Because of that, we intend to train you to use weapons." Continue Zoe. "After I've observed these few days, it seems like you're not good at weapons use. All this time you've only used magic and your bare hands...."

"I'm not really interested in guns." My answer.

"I need to remind Zayn, your opponent this time is not like a demon you used to face with your bare hands. Your opponent is a vampire, fighting vampires with magic and bare hands will only complicate your situation." Said Kate.

"After you fight Vience, you'll realize it. How strong they are, and how many gaps are in your defense."

Yeah, I know that. Zoe's words are true. They are strong, very strong. I also have a weakness. The gaps in each of my attacks were numerous, and the vampire made good use of each of them. They are strong, fast, and smart.

"You're pretty lucky. Because you have unique blood, the vampire's poison doesn't work on you. That's why you didn't turn into a vampire even though you were bitten and lost a lot of blood." Said Kate.

"Wait.. Isn't it because of the antidote I gave me?" My toot. As I recall Aoi said earlier that she used an antidote so that the poison would not spread to my body.

"The antidote can only slow its spread. He could not destroy the poison. But by the time you get here and get checked, all that poison is gone." Answer Kate.

Righteous. My blood is that great. Then since Kayn is my twin, does she also have blood like this?

"Even if you don't get sick of vampire poison, you'll still die if you get attacked and bleed out. You're not gonna be a vampire, but you're gonna die." Obviously Zoe. "Therefore, from today on we will train you to use various weapons."

"Kallen will teach you how to use the sword. Me and Aoi will teach you how to use long-range weapons. Zoe will teach you how to use a large scythe. And Shik will teach you the sword techniques of his country.With all this, I'm sure you'll be even stronger, Zayn."

I thought that this would be troublesome. But I had no other choice. Using my bare hands will only get me killed. I don't want to have to learn it.

"Alright.I'm coming." My speech. "Please help her, Kate, Zoe, and Aoi."
