Chapter 10: Trembling with Indignation

\"Yeah.\"

Fang Cheng glanced at her. \"Problem?\"

Kanzaki Rin\’s blood pressure spiked. \"Obviously! Don\’t you find writing love letters to two girls utterly shameless?\"

True affection required single-minded devotion. How could he court multiple girls simultaneously?

Fang Cheng raised an eyebrow. \"Shameless? You get dozens daily. Why shouldn\’t I write to multiple girls? Hypocritical much?\"

Kanzaki Rin\’s face darkened, momentarily speechless.

Fang Cheng pressed on. \"Seriously? In the 21st century, men must stay loyal while women hoard admirers? That\’s male discrimination! Where\’s your gender equality? This injustice chills me to the bone! What must we males do to please you? When will we finally rise…\"

As Fang Cheng\’s tirade continued, Kanzaki Rin\’s expression turned stormy.

\"Silence! Stop spouting nonsense…\"

\"Can\’t handle debate so you censor me? Free speech violation…\"

\"Enough!\"

Kanzaki Rin\’s fury crackled like static electricity, her murderous glare suggesting imminent violence.

Fang Cheng prudently closed his mouth. Not fear, but concern she might brawl with him publicly.

Victory mattered less than avoiding becoming sidewalk entertainment.

Kanzaki Rin wrestled her temper under control. Normally composed, this infuriating guy eroded her restraint. She blamed Fang Cheng\’s unprecedented shamelessness – never had she met such a person.

Their glares clashed silently until Fang Cheng snorted. \"You\’re the exasperated one, Kanzaki. Stalking my bathroom breaks? If you fancy me, just say so. Clingy girls aren\’t my type, sorry.\"

Unfazed by his sarcasm, Kanzaki Rin crossed her arms. \"Monitoring potential monsters falls under my Area 11 Government duties. You\’ve no right to refuse.\"

\"That\’s like Walmart cashiers claiming corporate indispensability.\"

Fang Cheng\’s retort masked his real concern – better surveillance than imprisonment by the Disaster Countermeasures Department.

Kanzaki Rin\’s compliance puzzled him. Why tolerate his existence instead of reporting him?

Neither could advance their agenda without risking confrontation, leaving their stalemate unresolved.

\"These past days,\" Kanzaki Rin abruptly asked, \"any blood cravings?\"

\"Maybe yes… maybe no.\"

Fang Cheng\’s vague answer concealed his secret – no vampire transformation meant no thirst. His built-in cheat remained undisclosed.

Kanzaki Rin\’s eyes narrowed. If he needed no blood, was he truly a vampire?

\"Your choice to believe.\" Fang Cheng spread his hands. \"Law-abiding citizen here.\"

The kidney-selling lawbreaker\’s audacity gave Kanzaki Rin a headache. Without farewell, she spun on her heel and left.

Fang Cheng raised his middle finger at her retreating figure.

\"By the way…\"

Kanzaki Rin abruptly turned around and caught his extended digit.

The atmosphere turned icy as Kanzaki Rin fixed him with an impassive stare.

Slowly withdrawing his finger, Fang Cheng shoved it into his nostrils and twisted. \"Need something?\"

Kanzaki Rin\’s face twisted in revulsion. \"My surveillance serves to protect you too. Stop avoiding me and behave yourself.\"

She spun on her heel and marched away, clearly unwilling to spend another second near the crude teenager.

\"Protect me?\"

Fang Cheng\’s brow furrowed. Could her vampire warning have been genuine rather than scare tactics?

But why would she shield him?

……

Three afternoon classes blurred past. Asaka Akihime maintained proper distance during breaks – not due to their lunchtime encounter, but to avoid sparking rumors through excessive contact.

Fang Cheng welcomed the solitude, using it to scrape together fragments of abandoned high school knowledge from his memories.

When final bell rang, students scattered to clubs or homes. A male classmate intercepted Fang Cheng at the doorway.

\"Fang Cheng, duty roster shows your turn.\"

After verifying the schedule, Fang Cheng shouldered his backpack and began cleaning. By completion time, only club members remained in the quiet halls.

At the shoe lockers, two hulking students boxed him in mid-change.

\"Morishita Yamato wants you.\"

They hoisted him by both arms before he could respond. Fang Cheng tested their grip but found last night\’s exercise hadn\’t yet granted supernatural power – his improved stamina proved useless against their brute strength.

\"Who\’s this minister? Why me?\"

\"Basketball team\’s Morishita Yamato,\" the left captor sneered. \"Don\’t pretend ignorance.\"

The name clicked – the muscle-bound basketball captain nicknamed \"Kashima Gorilla\", a teacher-beating delinquent protected by family connections, reigning atop the school\’s social Pyramid.

An insignificant student like Fang Cheng shouldn\’t register on such a predator\’s radar… unless this involved Kanzaki Rin?

They dragged him to the basketball court where only two figures waited.

Morishita Yamato loomed at the free-throw line – a two-meter-tall mass of muscle straining his jersey into a makeshift bodysuit. His thuggish features needed no Hollywood makeup to terrify.

Beside him perched Miyamoto Masami, glittering with Shibuya gal accessories. Though blessed with beauty and figure, her garish style repelled Fang Cheng\’s sensibilities. The basketball tyrant\’s girlfriend shared his untouchable status, completing this nightmare duo.
