The Monster Within Us

Chapter 44: Training and having fun

As we was walking to the training room. We have each other our names and what have we been doing recently. I didn't tell them that I took Zachary hostage. His name is Clyde. It may sound stupid but he told me he would play a game on his pc called Destiny 2 when he heads back home after a long day of work. That's how he got his name. This surprises me as I thought vampires would read books, feed on humans and would play the piano. Most of them do, but not Clyde. I do play destiny but very rarely so I don't really know the base mechanics and how it works. After all, I'm still in high school, I may play games during college when I have more free time.

We went to the training room and I was fascinated about how beautiful the area looks. There was weapons everywhere, dummies in front of us and a control switch, allowing us to change the style of the ways the dummies interact with us. As in to move, attacking, and defense. I wonder how much money it takes to get all of this? I noticed the weapons was made out of wood and there was another sign for us to read.

If you start training for the first time, the weapons are made out of wood. Once you train yourself enough by a person who have enough training skills, you can move on the real weapons. There is a magic only training room which is in the room in front of this training room as soon as you walk in.

Since I know vampires are specialized in magic, we head to the magic training room.

Did you read any books on how to use magic, like wildfire or black ice? -I asked

"I think so, let me try it." -Clyde said

After some time and failing, he managed to officially learned both of the magic I said: Wild fire and Black ice. He was pretty excited and wanted to try out more powers. For the next couple of hours, I was helping him try and obtain new powers and some have works and others have failed and he had to try again. After some time we both head to the weapons area and grab our weapons.

I saw a axe that looks to be a guitar. A black heavy metal guitar that is a axe. My eyes lit up at how beautiful it looks. I grabbed the weapon and admire it. Clyde grabbed a dagger and put it on his side. After we grab our weapons, we went to test it.

After some time, we learn how to use our weapons, how I can actually play music using the weapon, and how Clyde used his magic on take on foes. It seems we did a good job on ourselves. We both high five each other and we both left the room and partner ways.

I went to the headmaster's office to ask something to him. After I knock on the door, he let me in.

"Yes?" -He said

Is it okay if I can have this weapon? -I asked. I then pulled out the axe and hand it to him. He then looks at the weapon.

"Yes, yes you may keep it. The weapon is real and is not made out of wood, and was designed for you and other cannibals." -He said

Holy....thank you! -I said in glee. I put the axe back on my back. 'But, just me and other cannibals?' -I asked again

"Your kind like to use weapons to chop off body parts and limbs so it will be easier for you to eat it. A axe is their best choice of weapon to use when slicing off body parts. Zombies and The Figure can tear body parts easily but cannibals like you, like to cut in style." -The headmaster explained.

He then allows me to leave his office and I was gonna go the punishment room next when the figure stops me. He wonders why am I going into the punishment room. I went out of my way and smirked at him, yet again and allow him to walk inside as I follow and closed the door behind me.
