I am a student of Alucard ,"My name is Ryuji Stagner "This was said by the mysterious figure as he stood Infront of clide before explaining the reason for attacking clide.
I was sent as an instigator meant to test your capabilities but as you can see ... well ... this isn't the best place for that . However , your performance in close quarters combat is no short of incredible".
It's almost a shame this was only a test."
Clide rolled his shoulders, shaking off the tension from the fight. Ryuji stood across from him, dusting himself off like he hadn't just tried to take his head off moments ago. The masked figure's voice was smooth but carried a hint of amusement.
Ryuji:"Not bad, I'll admit, I wasn't expecting you to catch on so fast."
Clide scoffed, cracking his neck.
Clide:"Yeah, you threw a knife at my face. Kind of hard to miss that."
Ryuji , stepped away from the broken furniture scattered across the room.
Ryuji:"Fair point. But let's get to the reason you're here."
Clide folded his arms, red eyes narrowing.
Clide:"Yeah, let's. Alucard sent me here, said it was a house i could live because i was "homeless". Didn't mention I'd have to fight for my life as soon as I walked in."
Ryuji leaned against the wall, his stance relaxed but his presence anything but.
Ryuji:"That's because this isn't the the place your staying, Clide. It's a gateway. You were sent here so that you could go to your real place to stay."
Clide frowned.
Clide:"what the hell are talking about?"
Ryuji tilted his head toward the back of the apartment. The shadows in the corner seemed darker than they should be.
Ryuji:"You've spent your whole life hiding, balancing between two worlds, pretending to be something you're not. That's not going to cut it anymore."
Clide's fingers twitched slightly. He hated how calm Ryuji was, how much he spoke like he knew him.
Clide:"ok wait , i think I'm missing something, do you mean i have to go to hollow s ?"
Ryuji smirked.
Ryuji:"Something like that. You're strong, but you lack purpose. Right now, you're just surviving. But Alucard sees more in you."
Clide rolled his eyes.
Clide:"Sanchez you son of a bitch , he said i didn't need to go and that all i had to do was stay here!
Clide says as he walks out of the cabin.
Ryuji:"Hold on! wait don't leave let me explain."
Clide turned his head slightly, deciding to give Ryuji a chance.
Clide:"What can you possibly tell me that can change my mind?"
Ryuji:"You will be going to "Hollow s" but now exactly ."
Clide: "What's that supposed to mean?"
Ryuji: "Well i mean you don't have to worry about going staying in Hollow s because this portal leads to a school lead by Sanchez called "Friday" and that's the place you'll be staying."
Clide:"Fine. But if your lying, I'm breaking your nose ."
Ryuji grinned.
Ryuji:"Don't worry; you can trust me".
Clide hesitatingly walked toward the shadow Portal before looking back at Ryuji , Clide was hesitant but he continued towards the shadow before diapering—as if being consumed by the darkness."
