Ancient Vampire in a Modern World

Chapter 69

"Ok, I will, I don't have a job now and I can sell some online items for my finances so I don't need to worry for the time being," Ryle said joyously he was happy and grateful at Keiji when he learned that he paid for his company remuneration to disband the contract and he also bought a capsule for him. 

Mia and Klyzer agreed with him and decided to come along to lessen their stress. After they agreed with Keiji they went out to go to the cafeteria where Sophia was waiting. Sophia waved at them when he saw Keiji going towards her.

Keiji nodded and went towards her before sitting at the chair on the opposite side of her. 

"I also bring my classmates. He is Ryle, then she is Mia and Klyzer. I hope you don't mind," Keiji introduces them to Sophia.

Klyzer and Mia were shocked because they didn't expect that they would see the staff and Keiji was going to meet her. They became curious about what they are going to do meeting like this after the testing pace.

"No problem, Nice to meet you all. I'm Sophia and you can call me any way you want." Sophia stood up and nodded before shaking their hands one by one.

"Mia" Mia spoke as she shook hands with her.

"Klyzer," 

"Ryle," 

After greeting each other they also sat down and waited for Keiji or Sophia to speak.

"Then let's go, it seems that this place is too crowded." Keiji was the first one to talk and everyone seemed annoyed at him. 

'Didn't we just sit?'

'Then why did you just sit and wait for us to sit,'

They thought when they looked at Keiji with helplessness in their face.

"Ok, then where shall we go," Sophia couldn't bear the awkward situation and broke the silence. 

"Let's just go somewhere quiet," Keiji said.

"Then where would we go?" 

"I don't know any place here," Keiji said as he was clueless about the place.

"And it's better if we can go to a quiet restaurant. Don't worry it's my treat." Keiji added.

Ryle heaved a sigh of relief in his mind when he heard the word treat. He was worried because Mia, Klyzer and Keiji are rich people and if they decided to go somewhere so expensive he didn't know if he could afford it.

"It's ok, I know a place where it is quiet and their food is also top tier," Klyzer said with a little bit of emotion this was the first time she showed her emotions like that. She was a foodie and she also knew that Keiji is also one that is why she wanted to give suggestions because she was a picky eater and never dared to eat just anywhere.

"Ok then let's go there," Keiji excitedly said which shocked both Mia and Ryle who was always with Keiji. They both know that Keiji always acts cold and is not that open to anyone. 

They all agreed and talked on their way but they found out that they lack transportation but Klyzer has a chauffeur and they were relieved because the car that they brought was a white limousine. After entering the limousine Keiji looked around and found that it was quite refreshing inside. 

Ryle was nervous because this was the first time he would enter a limousine. He went inside and entered he was feeling how soft the seat was. The fluffy feeling made her but feel as if it was being massaged. 

They all talked on the way and Klyzer also gave them one can of soda each which Keiji accepted wholeheartedly and drank in one gulp. They were shocked at his action and this continues until they reached the library sometimes Keiji would act cool sometimes he was like a kid who something new and was a little dumb.

When they reached the place a golden word was placed on the wall at the entrance of the seemingly large building. The guard let them enter after Klyzer showed her some cards. The guard let them in without any question after she showed a card. 

After reaching the place they all got out of the car and entered the place. On the first floor, there is a different kind of machines that Keiji wasn't familiar with but he knew what it was it was video games which were already considered old games but there were still some people who are playing this game because it kept improving and now there is almost a million combination of move unlike before which only have limited moves. There are also improvements with the graphics which could make the screen like it was really happening in front of them and the movements are not only limited to what is programmed in the game like before. 

The difference is that you can do anything with your character like it was real life. The damage taken was also considered and they put a lot of effort into it even dislocating bone is possible. Keiji was piqued as he watched someone playing. He saw that their hands were so fast as if they were really fighting among themselves but hands were the only ones being used. 

He summarised every movement that the user was using and saw that the fight seems interesting but the only thing is that the character moves so slow that he could even memorize every move in the game if he wanted to. 

When they saw Keiji looked interested in the game Sophia suddenly said. 

"Let's try to play a game." She was excited and wanted to show off a little of her skill when she knew that Keiji was interested in the game.

Keiji didn't decline and went to another machine. There were ten buttons on the left side of the table and a handle on the right. The button can command the attack and defence movement of the character while the handle is responsible for the crouch jump and different kinds of movement whether in front, backward, sideward. And if it is partnered with the button it could create different movements.

The ten buttons have different kinds of commands which indicate different movements. Keiji sat on the chair in front of the machine and Sophia sat on the opposite side of him. 

Then a screen flashed through and Keiji read through and picked the accept which Sophia did. She challenged Keiji which was in front of her. After accepting the challenge another panel flashed on the screen in which you can pick your character. There are so many characters with different combos and every character moves differently. 

Keiji just randomly clicked any character he was trying to gauge in the game and just followed everything he saw. Then after picking his character which is a man who had a tiger head and tails. While Sophia picked the character who has horns in its head and black wings. 

Then a barrage of words flashed on the screen indicating the start of the battle. Keiji clicked the button and used the handle without any goals. His character seems gone crazy as it was moving in an unknown manner. Keiji didn't know how to play the game and was just gauging the movements of the character in the game.

Klyzer laughed a little when she saw how Keiji's character moved. 

"Do you know how to play this?" Klyzer asked.

"No," Keiji said without any hint of emotion and without paying attention to her. He was focused on the game trying to learn everything then there comes Sophia's character who beat him in just a matter of seconds. Then there comes the next round in which Keiji already gauged the basic movements of the character but was still at an amateur level because even if you have a good mind if you still didn't know the right combination you wouldn't be able to do that move. Like opening and closing the fist of their character which needed a four-button combination that needed to be clicked at the right time and if a second pass the movement wouldn't be executed properly or not at all.

After two rounds of consecutive defeat, Keiji got a better gauge of basic movements. Another round started again and if Keiji was defeated he would lose but if he won there was still a chance because the game was raised to three. The other round started, Sophia's character immediately dashed forward and stopped when it was in the range of his attack. He went to punch Keiji's character but suddenly Keiji crouched and directly tackled Sophia's character. After which Keiji's character started punching Sophia's character while she was on the ground. 

Sophia tried almost all combinations on her character but every time the moves were being executed it would be cancelled by Keiji. Sophia was defeated easily after that round and she consoled herself that she just let her guard down because she thought Keiji doesn't know how to play properly and was just trying the game but she didn't expect that Keiji would be so good at it.
