As usual, a dome-shaped building appears before my eyes with the words 'Behemoth' written at the top of it. This building is none other than my master's dojo.

I don't really know why this building is built in a dome-like shape, but for some reason, I just like the design. Next, I walk towards the entrance and see two ancient vampires standing at the entrance as usual.

I greet both of them.

"Hoho, here comes the future king of the vampires." Mr. Pam and Mrs. Pam say at the same time before giving me a small bow. I also give these ancient vampires a deep bow since it's somewhat awkward, considering the fact that they have never acted this way before.

"How are you doing, Jake?" Mr. Pam asks with a wink.

"Haha, I am good." I reply with a small laugh.

"That's good... How about your wives?" Mr. Pam continues, his grin growing wider.

"...."

Seeing my expression, his wife lodges a small jab into his ribcage, signaling for him to keep quiet.

"I'm sorry that I couldn't attend your wedding." Mr. Pam changes the topic while scratching the back of his head.

"It's okay, my master also didn't attend my wedding. It's not really important though." I reply with a shrug.

"That's true..." Mrs. Pam nods her head in confirmation.

Luckily, I get away from the old perverted vampires and enter the hallway of the dojo. Just like before, nothing has changed in this dojo. All the weird drawings of ancient vampires can still be seen on the walls of the hallway I am currently passing through.

Sometime later, I get to the main hall of the dojo where all the dojo students are free to practice and use any of the equipment inside this hall. And right now, I notice that there are many VR capsules situated in a corner of the dojo. These capsules are the new trending VR capsules that were created by none other than the mad renowned scientist!

I have seen several gameplays of this game on wowtube and to be honest it is very realistic and is exciting to try out. However, I don't know the details of it since only short clips of its gameplay have been posted online. It's not even on dark websites. The VR console seems to have a strong encryption and limitations which stops people from being able to download their gameplay into external sources except from the Capsule itself or the Mini Charter helmet.

Mmm, master and the other dojo masters have finally gotten these consoles. It seems like a new era is here. People could really train inside this game.

[Master, I can't wait for you to try out the game. Hehehe.]

'You sound so mischievous right now.'

I say inwardly with a raised brow.

[Of course, master. I can't wait to check out some things.]

Like what?

[Like seeing if the pod will be able to replicate me inside the game. And I would also like to see if you will be able to use your powers in the game!]

Mimi says excitedly while brimming with immense joy.historical

Sigh..

Even though I want to check these things out badly, I can't, because I came here for another thing.

I tell Mimi while shaking my head. Right now, several people are trying to check out these pods, but they are unable to do so because the number of pods is limited compared to the demand.

While walking through the hall, many people stare at me in awe while some whisper and tap each other. However, I just don't know if they are stupid or something, they should just come out and say it to my face since no sound can escape a noble vampire's ears. I can hear even the slightest drop of a pin.

"Isn't that the strongest student in the dojo? It has been a while since I saw him."

"Yeah, I'm also surprised to see him here. He looks a little fatter than before."

"Fufufu, didn't you hear that he got married to many wives? What do you expect?"

'What the fuck?! Did I get fatter?' I mutter, looking at my hands in embarrassment while walking away from the two regular vampires that are gossiping.

However, the farther I walk, the more whispers I can hear, making me grit my teeth.

"Hey, that's the guy that single-handedly won the weekly duel. Many people have tried to be like him but no one was able to achieve the feats he performed."

"Eh, I thought Roth is now the strongest student here. We wouldn't know since this guy suddenly disappeared after that duel. Roth would defeat him in seconds if they were to go against each other. Besides, he looks fatter. But he's handsome nevertheless, no wonder Myra the stoic girl fell for him."

"Yeah, he looks fatter. But you never know, he might have also improved just like Roth did. But I would like to watch their duel."

"Me too~"

'The fuck! Am I fatter, Mimi?' I mutter angrily while stomping into one of the changing rooms inside the hall.

[Mmm, not really master. It just happened that you grew a lot in the past month.]

I see...

I say with a sigh while checking myself out in the mirror that's inside the changing room.

But Mimi, hearing these rumors, it seems like Roth has gotten stronger. I wonder if I can defeat him because Blair mentioned something about him being a battle freak.

[Master, you also didn't relent in the past few months. But I would like to see you two fight though.]

Roth is better at hand-to-hand combat than me. I am afraid he would have become a monster now.

[Make him your ally, master.]

"He's already my ally, I am just the one who always ignores him." I give Mimi a reply, talking out loud this time.

Sometime later, I get away from the changing room and move to where my master's floor is located.
