Chapter 14: Vampire and Combat Training with Sergeant Yami

Hello, everyone! It's Lily, your favorite cuddly vampire. Today is the day for my combat training and essential vampire ability training with Yami. As we were discussing which training to start with, Rose spoke up.

"Bonjour, my Love," Rose greeted me.

"Ehehe, bonjour, Rose. Do you have any suggestions on which training we should start with?" I asked.

"Actually, I do. But first, I want to thank you for working so hard for me, and I would also like to thank your wives for training you. Would it be okay if I took control of your body? Your body has become accustomed to it, so you won't lose consciousness this time, and it will also teach you how to do your vampire transformation for your training," Rose requested.

"You don't need to thank me, Rose. You don't have to ask. You are free to use my body whenever you need until we can get your own made," I replied.

"Thank you, my Love. Well, I will take over now," Rose said as she took control of my body.

As Rose took over my body, I felt as though my physical form had become nonexistent, and my consciousness had been moved to a white space in my mind with nothing but what could be described as a large screen currently showing my wives. Is this where Rose lives? This place reminds me of where I met the Goddess. It feels so lonely. I must save Rose. She said she spoke to the Goddess. I wish I could see and talk to her again. The Goddess stated that she would help us, but she can't do anything until I master my powers, and she will also need my wives' help. Oh, they noticed the transformation...

"Dear!?" Mana called out.

"My Beloved!?" Yami exclaimed.

"Dar…no…Rose? Is Darling okay?" Lucy asked worriedly.

"Good morning, Lucy, Yami, Mana. Don't worry; Lily is okay, and she is still awake. She is listening to us speak right now," Rose assured them.

"Phew…please give us a warning next time, my Beloved. Good morning, Rose. Do you have any suggestion on which training we should start with?" Yami asked.

"Yes, I suggest you start with the vampire ability training. By me doing this transformation with Lily awake, she has learned how to do it as well. I have two other things to discuss; make sure you listen to this, my Love," Rose said.

"Mou…I promise I'm listening," I replied.

"Hehehe, good girl. The first thing is that when Lily does her vampire transformation on her own, she will have an incredible thirst for blood, and you girls will all need to be by her side to calm and quench her thirst. The second thing is that after my Love finishes her training, her vampire powers that have been suppressed will explode outward. I don't know what will happen, but I have a feeling that the memories that I have suppressed as nightmares will surface. When this happens, you will need to be strong, my Love. Your wives and I will be there with you, and this will also give the Goddess the notification to start creating my body. She will need you to pour your mp into my Love's body. You will also need to be calm and send your mp into your body, my Love," Rose explained.

"Very well, we will do as you say, Rose. Thank you for warning us," Yami agreed.

"Very well then, I will return my Love's body to her so that you can start your training immediately. Thank you, girls, for training my Love for our sakes," Rose said.

As soon as Rose finished speaking, my consciousness returned to my physical form, and she told me, "Good luck, and work hard. I'll see you soon, my Love."

"Before you go, Rose, may I ask what your physical body will look like?" I inquired.

"Hehe...it's a sur~prise. I'll give you a teaser though. My eyes and hair are the color of what your blue and red eyes make," Rose replied.

"Thank you, I'll see you soon. I love you, Ar…ahem…Rose," I said, correcting myself, hoping Rose didn't hear me, given that I wasn't completely sure yet. But I could sense a slight smile on her face. Now I'm absolutely sure I'm right. I'm not angry; I just hope she explains when the time comes.

"Hehehe…I love you too, my Love," Rose responded.

After Rose spoke, I regained complete control over my body, and we began my training immediately.

At the Knights Training Grounds, Sergeant Yami explained that we would be covering the basics of vampire power training. I already knew how to transform, so we would focus on summoning my wings and flying, summoning my familiars, and getting used to my enhanced physical abilities. Sergeant Yami asked me a pop quiz question: "Why do vampires have two different forms?"

"Ma'am, it is because, over the centuries, due to the blood servant contract, our ancestors performed the Vamper and Vampar races combined with the future generations gaining each races abilities, which created the Vampire race; as a result, we can suppress our blood thirst in our everyday form, and we are not a nocturnal race," I answered.

"You are entirely correct; good job, Private Lily. Now let's get started. You will pass this week's training when you can summon your wings in your everyday form and control your physical strengths in your Vampire form. Now start transforming," Sergeant Yami said.

"Yes, Sergeant Yami," I replied.

As I began my transformation, I noticed that my point of view had gotten higher, and I was taller than Yami now. I also realized that my chest had grown larger. "Mmm…what is this dry feeling? My throat feels dry, and I need something to drink. Hmm, I smell something sweet; where is this smell coming from? I want it," I thought to myself.

"It's okay; I know you must be thirsty. Come drink my blood, my Beloved," Yami said, showing me the nape of her neck.

"I'll let you have some of mine once Yami reaches her limit," Lucy added.

"Yeah, don't worry. You can drink mine as well," Mana said.

As my wonderful wives encouraged me, I bent down and sank my fangs into Yami's beautiful neck. "Mmm…Don't worry about scaring me. When vampires suck blood, their fangs bring out an aphrodisiac effect, so their blood servants don't feel pain, and after they finish, they can lick the spot that was bitten, and it will heal. You can bite harder to get more blood, my Beloved," Yami said.

"Thank you, my Darling Yami," I said as I pulled away from her neck, but my thirst had not yet been quenched. Yami was reaching her limit, but I needed more. "I'm sorry, my Beloved, I'm about to hit my limit," Yami said, apologizing. "It's okay, rest for now, my Darling," I reassured her.

But then Lucy offered her blood to me. "Come here, you can drink my blood next, Darling; I know you are still thirsty," she said kindly. "Thank you, my Wifey. I will partake then," I replied gratefully. After thanking Lucy, I drank her blood as well. But even after that, I was still thirsty.

"Rest for now, my Wifey," I said to Lucy. Then Mana offered her blood to me. "Here, Dear, you can drink my blood next," she said. "Thank you, my Dear," I replied. After thanking her, I began drinking her blood. Finally, my thirst was quenched.

After Yami and my other wives had recovered, I began my basic vampire training. While training, I could hear them discussing finding more people for me to connect with and potentially make into my blood servant/wife. They didn't think they and Rose would be enough to quench my thirst after my vampire powers were fully unleashed, but I decided to worry about it later.

The vampire training soon passed, and I learned how to summon my wings in my everyday form and control my enhanced physical abilities while in my vampire form. Now we were discussing what my next training would be.

"Okay, Private Lily, good job with last week's training. This next week we will be training your swordsmanship; I have a friend from the knights here to be your training partner. However, before you start mock battle training, you will be doing the Knight's swordsmanship exercises for the first three days to get used to handling a sword. You will have to beat this Knight in a mock battle to pass this week's training. Katy does not go easy on Private Lily just because she is our Princess; this is for her to get stronger," Sergeant Yami explained.

"Very well, Yami, but are you sure you can control your overprotectiveness towards our Princess?" Knight Katy asked.

"To be honest, I'm worried about that as well; I know how overprotective you can be, my Darling," I added.

Katy and I teased Yami, causing her to turn beet red. "Th-that's Sergeant Yami to you, my...Belo...Private Lily. I will control my 'overprotectiveness,' as you call it. Now get started," Yami said, trying to regain her composure.

"Kehehe. Yes, Sergeant Yami," I replied, amused.

As the week passed, Yami struggled to control her protectiveness, especially during my mock battle training with Katy. But I eventually passed the week's training with flying colors. "Congratulations, Private Lily, you did a great job in this week's training; you no longer have to do the mock battle test with Katy. You pass with flying colors," Yami announced.

"No, I do not want to be given a free pass. I will partake in this test. I will not call you Sergeant Yami because I know you are pretending right now. Don't worry; my body feels stronger than ever; I will be fine, so let me do this test, my Darling," I said, determined to take the mock battle test.

"Bu…but…" Yami stuttered, trying to argue with me.

To prevent Yami from interfering, I had Lucy and Mana hold her back while I faced off against Katy in a thrilling battle of swords. We both fought with all our might, and in the end, I emerged victorious. "Hahaha, I knew you could do it; I never doubted you for a second, Private Lily," Yami, now in her role as sergeant, exclaimed.

"Yes, yes, whatever you say, my Darling. Katy, I would like to thank you for the fun battle and for helping me train this last week," I said, grateful for Katy's help.

"Hahaha, it was my pleasure. Good luck in next week's training, especially with this "Sergeant" over here, my Princess," Katy teased.

"Hey!" Yami pouted.

"Hehe, thank you. Bye-bye for now," I waved to Katy as she left.

After Katy's departure, I turned to Yami to discuss the upcoming week's training. As I spoke to her, I felt a dark purple aura emanating from my body. "Now, 'Ser~geant,' let's discuss next week's training while I think about your punishment for breaking your promise about being overprotective," I said, my anger simmering.

"Ve…very… well. Ahem…Private Lily, you will be training in hand-to-hand combat, and I have another Knight friend who specializes in this type of combat that will come and help train you. You will pass this week's training after beating said Knight in a mock battle. Like this last week, you will be doing the Knights' hand-to-hand combat training for the first 3 days and practicing mock battles until the last day, which will be the test. Understood?" Yami explained, her voice hesitant.

"Yes, understood, Sergeant Yami," I replied, feeling slightly mollified.

"Now, head home; you still need to be punished, my Dar~ling," I said, my voice firm.

"Ye…yes, my Beloved," Yami replied, her tone scared.

"You brought this on yourself, Yami. Don't be too hard on her now, Darling," Lucy interjected.

"Haaa, just thinking about Dear's punishment when I made her angry gives me the shivers. She refused to hug or speak to me for a whole day," Mana reminisced.

"No…no, anything but that. I can't go without getting to speak and hug, my Beloved," Yami pleaded.

"I will give you a choice then, my Darling. You can either receive the silent and no cuddle treatment, or you can be Mana's practice cooking taster. Now, which will you choose?" I offered.

"Ehhh, either way, I will die mentally since I can't die physically. Hah…I will be Mana's taste tester…" Yami said, dejected.

"Hey! I will have you know my cooking has gotten better, okay," Mana retorted.

After we joked around and chatted while heading home, Yami was thoroughly punished, and Mana's cooking had improved slightly. Yami didn't pass out until the second dish was given to her. The following weeks' training soon began, like the last week, Yami's overprotectiveness showed up again before the final test. Luckily, I saw this coming and had Lucy and Mana drag her away. I once again had a fun and thrilling mock battle with the Knight, which I won, and successfully passed the final test. We were now discussing the last week's training.

"Hah, I am quite angry right now, so please skip the congratulations, and tell me what we will be doing in the last week of training," I said with frustration.

"Ye..yes…Ma'am. For the last week, you will put the skills you learned the previous 3 weeks together and have a mock battle against me; if you can beat me, you will pass the last week's test. You will be doing your swordsmanship training in your vampire form for the first three days, and then you will be doing your martial art combat training in your vampire form the following three days until the last day, where you will have your final test against me," Sergeant Yami explained.

"Very well," I responded, feeling relieved that the end was in sight.

After I gave Sergeant Yami an exasperated response, I turned to Lucy and Mana and said, "Let's head home, my loves."

"Yes, let's, Darling," Lucy replied.

"Wait…don't tell me…my Beloved, I'm sorry," Yami said.

"Wifey, do you hear something?" I asked Lucy.

"Nooooo!" Yami cried.

After thoroughly giving Yami the silent treatment that night, I made up with her and gave her a hug and a kiss in the morning before we started the final week's training. The week passed just as quickly as the others, and I beat Yami, who was not overprotective this time, and passed the final test thanks to being in my Vampire form. When it happened, we were congratulating each other, and I was receiving congratulations from Lucy and Mana when...

A black and purple aura soon exploded out of me, and all the nightmares I had until now started resurfacing before my eyes…

"Ahhhhhhhh!" I screamed.
