My Vampire System novel Chapter 379

Chapter 379 Calling him out!

It wasn’t long before the entire school had found out about the incident. Duke’s team had tried to keep it under wraps but it was impossible to keep something as shocking as this a secret. The people most to blame were the three students who had witnessed everything at that time.

It was an unbelievable site to them that they felt the need to just share it with everybody.

"Did the Night demon really defeat a sergeant?"

"Yeah, and apparently there were no abilities used either, again. No one still has any clue who it is."

"Does that mean the rumour about him having demon tier equipment is true?"

"Or maybe he just has an overall enhancing ability. You know, nothing special but just being a superhuman all together."

"Anyway, that’s not the big issue. The problem is now a teacher was involved, and it was one of Duke’s men. This might just get serious."

The students’ hunches were right. Instead of the standard normal lessons that the kids would have all day, they were called out to one of the training fields instead. This included first year as well as the second-year students. The field was mainly used for the second years for combat practice and all other sorts of training. While the first years mostly used an indoor centre.

The field was extensive and was large enough to hold every single student in school there. All of them were lined up in their homeroom classes on one side. While the sergeants and two generals stood opposite them. Now there were only three sergeants on either side.

Dillan from the second years was taking a break and still recovering. Although the truth was Duke didn’t want someone who had embraced and failed him standing by his side. And from the first years, they still hadn’t filled in Leo’s replacement yet.

Duke stood forward and was the first one to speak.

"You are all here today because of me. At first, I wasn’t going to make a big deal about this but as I’m sure you all already know something horrible happened to Dillan yesterday." At first, Duke had never planned on doing something like this, but as soon as he heard that all of the students already knew about yesterday’s events, he decided to change his plan.

"Yesterday, Dillan was investigating a bullying case between some second-year students, while trying to stop it, an unknown person had chosen to interfere. I hear people refer to him as the Night Demon. For some reason, this person chose to attack and gravely injure one of our sergeants."

Hearing this, the students started to whisper amongst themselves, especially those in the first year.

"But I thought the Night Demon only went after bullies?"

"Yeah, I was saved by him and he didn’t even touch me, he didn’t even let me say thank you."

"The teachers have never tried stopping these bullying acts before. Who is the general trying to fool?"

"I hear some of you think of this person as a hero." The Duke continued. "But I assure you he is not. He doesn’t care about any of you. He has his own agenda in all of this. Why did he only appear now, where was he before? And now his true colours are being shown as he started to attack innocent people as well."

"I’m here now to ask the Night Demon to come forward. If you do, then your punishment will be lightened, however, if you do not. You can’t blame me for my actions." Duke said.

One of the students hearing all this was getting angrier as he heard Duke carry on. This student was Bill. The first student who was saved by the Night demon. Although the others didn’t know this, he was also the one who spread the name and rumours after noticing that the Night demon continued to do these vigilante acts.

He thought if he continued to spread out the good word, maybe he could help others. Not only that, but the Night Demon had kept his word. One day, the bullies after a while had tried to target him again. However, just like before, the Night Demon saved him again. Ever since that day he felt like he had a whole new life. He could start talking to other low levels like him.

Without the worry of who was backing them, or was behind them. The Night Demon changed his life, and he couldn’t stand what lies the Duke was saying about him. He clenched his fist and then did something he never thought he would do.

"That’s a lie!" Bill shouted out from the silenced crowd. "The Night demon has only ever attacked those that have done bad. If Dillan got hurt, then I will believe that he deserved it."

The other students around started to look at the person who was speaking up, and when they did, they noticed it was a frail little boy who only had a power level of two. Some of the others who had been saved wanted to speak up but were afraid. Where was this person getting all his courage from they thought?

"I understand you saying where was the Night Demon at the start, when all of this happened, but then let me ask. Where were you!" Bill shouted. "Where were you when all of the bullying continued to happen? Where were you, our teachers, when our credits were stolen from us!"

Hearing this, Nathan’s eyes opened up a little. He then went over to one of his sergeants standing by his side and whispered in their ear.

"I understand you want us to toughen up and experience what it’s like in the real world. Perhaps making us realize we need the power to survive. Hoping to make us stronger, and that may work for some but not for all of us!!" Bill shouted as he broke down into tears and fell to his knees. It was clear he was pouring his heart and soul into every word he had said, and there were many in the crowd that could relate.

Suddenly, the ground underneath Bill’s feet lifted about a foot in the air, creating a round platform, and he was quickly shifted to the front and was put directly in front of Duke.
