《The Masked Noble |Noblesse various x Reader》Season 1: Ch 2: Attacked...?!

"No Way! W-What happened? I-I left it right here!" Three men stood in the centre of the room dark room, where the coffin was supposedly located. A man, the only one not wearing a cloak, was panicking. "I left it right here... I'm serious! It was here until a few days ago!"
"No one knows about this..." One of the cloaked men spoke.
"W-wait! Give me some time and I will...." "Can I eat him....?"
"W-What?!" The man panicked even more. "D-don't do it... Please let me live..." He was begging now.
Then the figure with a scar on his lip opened his eyes. "Do as you please..."
"Argh!!!!" The taller and buffer figure picked up the panicked man by the neck and bared his fangs, digging them deep into the artery situated on the neck. His eyes grew red as he sucked out all the blood. Outside on the balcony, the a figure shifted uncomfortably.
"We've got a problem... We thought it'd be easy since he hid the coffin away...... But it's become rather a pain in the ass...." The one with a scar spoke. The taller man dropped the now 'dead' man on the ground with a thud. "The coffin looked special... I should stay behind and do some digging...." He continued.
".... Shall I clean this up..?" The tall man stared at the 'dead' man on the floor.
"No just leave it. The higher ups won't like it if things get noisy.... Ke ke ke... So just leave it...." The scarred one laughed evilly.
Then the figure jumped into the room through the open window and walked silently up to the silver-haired man with a scar on the lip, the figure's footsteps gentle and inaudible. They pulled on a fingerless glove, ensuring that the blade in the palm of the glove was unsheathed (Like below, without the metallic design and the glove is black). Acting quickly, the figure grabbed both of the scarred figure's arms and held it at his back with one hand, kicking the back of his knees rendering him bound on the floor. They held the knife up to his neck. Finally coming out of his shock, the taller, blood-covered figure roared and raised his fist, ready to pound the mysterious figure. But he hesitated as the mysterious intruder glared at him, their red eyes flashing in warning. He slowly lowered his fist.
"W-Who are you?" It was not asked in a panicked manner. There was a small silence as the mysterious figure contemplated on the answer. Then, in a low, alluring yet soft voice, the mysterious figure replied to the question.
"Your worst enemy... If you try anything funny..." The last word sent chills down their spines.
The silver-haired human below her began to panic. The mysterious figure could feel it: his pulse began to quicken and the leather glove began to slip from the amount of sweat produced. He swallowed thickly.
It was a miracle to the figure that he wasn't shaking in fear.
The figure sighed. All they wanted to do was to warn the mischievous humans. They glanced at the 'dead' body on the ground. ".... Clean the mess up. Or you'll die." The two cloaked figures nodded slowly, not wanting to meet their ends quickly. The figure stood up, removing their knife from the scarred man's neck, walked to the balcony and sat on it ready to leave. "Remember my warning...."
It was only then that the two figures could see the face and figure of the one who threaten them. A female, they thought in astonishment: the curves were clear now. Their eyes flickered towards her face. Too bad they didn't have a face to match the voice: it was partially covered with a gas mask. She gave them one last glare, backflipped off the side of the building and disappeared.

The two cloaked men sweated nervously. Who were they supposed to follow orders from? The Organisation or the mysterious female? Either way, their death was ensured.
Crossing their fingers, they decided to follow the Organisation's orders.
Hopefully the mysterious female understood.
------------------------------
Ding Dong... Ding Dong... The bell had rung for lunch. There was a clatter of chairs and tables as students scrambled outside to retrieve their lunch. At the back, Shinwoo stretched and yawned.
"Haaaaa..... Oh... It's lunch time..." Sitting in front of him, (Y/N) sighed and shook her head. It was a miracle to her that someone could sleep in class so obviously and not get in trouble. Shinwoo looked at Rai curiously. "Hey it's lunch time... Why aren't you eating..?"
"...."
"You didn't bring lunch...?" Sitting in front of them, (Y/N) shook her head. It was to be expected. After all, he just woke up from his 820-year slumber. "Lemme guess... You didn't bring any lunch money either..?" (Y/N) snickered, catching the attention of Shinwoo and Raizel. "Hey (Y/N)... I don't see you with lunch either, so you can't laugh..."
She turned around, giving them a full view of her face, or at least of what they could see. She raised her eyebrow. "What do you know about me not eating..? I eat after school, in the confines of my own home, that's all..."
"That's unhealthy... You should eat at the right times..." Shinwoo spoke slowly. (Y/N) just shrugged.
"It's not like I don't eat... I just delay it, that's all." The truth was, she really didn't need to eat to survive... It wasn't like she was going to die of starvation.... Her punishment ensured that.
"Come to think of it, why do you wear that mask...?" He question marks surrounded his head.
"...... That's.... None of your business..." Shinwoo stared at (Y/N) for a moment, before turning away to speak to Raizel again. "No food... No Textbooks... No bag... No money.... Sheesh! You're worse that me! I brought my bag and lunch money, at least..." (Y/N) rolled her eyes and chucked a few coins skillfully at Shinwoo's face.
"Ow..." The coins hit his forehead. Hard.
"Here... Use that to buy his lunch for him..." But Shinwoo just chucked the coins back at her. She caught it in one hand.
"Come on, (Y/N), Raizel. Lunch is on me..." (Y/N) just huffed and stayed in her seat. Shinwoo looked at her strangely, but she didn't leave her seat until she was rapidly poked by Shinwoo in the shoulder. "Come on..."
"Fine. But I'm not eating." Shinwoo pouted.
"Lighten up, (Y/N)..." Shinwoo began but (Y/N) just glared at him, effectively shutting him up. However, just as the exited the room, the brown-haired boy sitting next to Raizel stood up.
"Wait up, Shinwoo! I'm coming with you." Shinwoo looked at the boy suspiciously.
"So.... Ikhan... You don't have any money either...?"
".... I left my wallet at home..."
"Fine, just take it, you thief...." Shinwoo sighed in annoyance.
".......... You're the one who offered me..." (Y/N) trailed off as she noticed the glance at her from Raizel. Ikhan looked at her.
"Wow~ Shinwoo! You must like (Y/-MPH!" Shinwoo slammed his hand over Ikhan's mouth, effectively cutting him short. (Y/N) stared at Shinwoo with a raised eyebrow and sighed.
"I'm not anything special. In fact it's probably better if you dislike me..." She walked ahead of the group.
"...." Raizel stared at (Y/N) in confusion. She seemed so familiar, but he couldn't pinpoint who she was exactly. He followed them silently.

Arriving at the cafeteria, (Y/N) realised that it was the first time she'd been coaxed out of the classroom by any of the students. What a ruckus they'll cause... Plus Raizel too... She sighed and braced for the worst to happen.
"Wow! Shinwoo managed to get (Y/N) out of the classroom!"
"Wow~ She's so pretty~" ... Are they screwing with me..? I'm wearing a mask, idiots... (Y/N) paid no heed to the girls in the room who were staring at Raizel mesmerizingly, much like the boys to her.
"Hey, (Y/N)! Come sit with us! And bring Raizel with you!" One of the girls called out to her in a sickly sweet and giggly voice. (Y/N) turned her head in the direction of the voice and frowned slightly. It was one of the school's 'barbie dolls', you know, the type which wears cakes of foundation, lipstick and eyeliners.... The list could go on. Usually, (Y/N) would pay no heed to them, but she was currently rather irritated: First Shinwoo pokes her to no end, then he drags her out of the classroom, to enter the noisiest room in the school: the cafeteria. She gave them a harsh glare and went to sit down with Shinwoo, Ikhan and Raizel.
The girls flinched, before retaliating with their own glare, which (Y/N) honestly couldn't take seriously. It was like staring at somewhat cute kittens.... So she just raised an eyebrow at them and turned away.
"Ma'am! 1 Serve of Ramyeon with Extra noodles!" Then he turned to the three students standing behind him patiently. "What do you guys want?"
Ikhan pushed up his glasses and replied, "Ramyeon.", while Raizel just stood there silently.
(Y/N) muttered, "Omurice.... In a portable lunch box..." Shinwoo frowned, but let it go.
"Two more bowls of Ramyeon and 1 bowl of Omurice please! Can you put the Omurice in a plastic container please?"
After an agonising 10 minutes wait time for the food to cook, (Y/N) was becoming more and more annoyed at the students staring at the table. (Y/N) sighed, as several students made their way over to say hello to them. Raizel, who sensed her agitation, placed a hand over hers, startling her from her dangerous thoughts. She stared at him. His ruby eyes seemed to bore into her mind as he stared at her in interest. (Y/N) looked at Ikhan with pleading eyes, not having the heart to tell him to stop staring at her.
"Raizel... (Y/N) looks very uncomfortable... Can you stop staring at her?" Shinwoo woke up from his nap and looked at Raizel alarmed.
(Y/N) inched her chair away from him. "Paedophile..." She muttered. Ikhan, however, who'd somehow heard her, asked her the question she was hoping not to answer. (While Shinwoo went to pick up the food from the cafeteria ladies.)
"...... How old are you, (Y/N)...?"
"...... 19..." What a lie... She thought in amusement.
"Then he isn't a paedophile... I'd say he's about the same age as you so... You're legally allowed to date..." Walking over, Shinwoo jolted up in shock and nearly dropped the tray of food. While (Y/N) winced from both Ikhan's statement and the slight spillage of the Ramyeon's soup.
"You traitor, Ikhan!" Shinwoo yelled while pointing at Ikhan, after he placed the tray on the table.
"H-Huh?! I thought you liked Yuna!"
"Y-Yeah, well... (Y/N)... She's..." He stopped as he remembered (Y/N) was sitting there with them. But she wasn't paying attention to Shinwoo and Ikhan and was reading Ability on her phone.
Shinwoo sighed in relief and distributed the food. (Y/N) put her phone away. "Here..." Shinwoo placed a bowl of ramyeon and a pair of wooden takeaway Chopsticks in front of Raizel. (Y/N) smirked mischievously as Raizel snapped the chopsticks in half. She too, had a similar reaction when she was first introduced to the 'chopstick'.
"..."
"........."
"..... This kind of thing... You think I'd fall for this..." (Y/N) snickered at Raizel's reaction. It's not mini portable stakes, Raizel....
"What are you talking about? Just eat!" Ikhan and Shinwoo were eating the ramyeon messily.
"Is it because you've never eaten it before?" Ikhan asked between mouthfuls. Raizel just wiggled the chopsticks in his hands.
"Here... Eat with this.." Shinwoo pushed a small plate of kimchi towards Raizel. (Y/N)'s eyes opened in amusement. Hm... Garlic.... She thought amused. Raizel picked up a piece of cabbage with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth.
He took a bite. "This taste.... Poison...? But to me-" "Come on... Stop mumbling and eat!" (Y/N) raised her eyebrow. It seems like she was the only one to hear what he said. Raizel blushed in slight embarrassment. Then he looked down at his bowl.
".... The amount increased..." (Y/N) blinked and furrowed her eyebrows. She leant her chin on her hands. How... amusing....
"Silly, the noodles swelled up. Start eating!" Shinwoo stood up and slammed his hands on the table.
-----------------------------------------
"It seems it'll be more difficult to locate the coffin than I thought..." The two cloaked figures stood on top of a skyscraper.
"Perhaps we should've interrogated him more.... And not eat him." His tall partner replied to his comment.
"No. He wouldn't have known anything more."
"Ha Ha... I guess so..." The scarred one smirked.
"I think it could be fun. I'm not pleased to get the easier jobs..."
"Who do you think stole the coffin?"
"It's none of our business, whoever they are. Perhaps...." Their thoughts drifted to a certain unknown female from the previous night and shuddered. "But no matter. We'll just kill them if they get in our way.."
"And the female?"
"We'll try not to run into her again... Ke ke ke... What about him?"
"Something's getting on my nerves. I think he's back to his senses... 21 Hours have passed since he's been bitten. We'll have to move faster."
"..... Three hours until his body breaks down..."
"Will he be able to feed in the next three hours?"
"He won't starve to death...." The scarred man's gaze flickered over the brightly lit city. "After all, this place is peaceful enough for him to get food...."
------------------
"Bye~ See you at school!" Yuna waved goodbye to her two friends.
"See ya!" Yuna was walking past an apartment complex and towards her home when she heard a loud moan from a nearby alley. She peered around the corner. There was a man in a baseball cap, clutching his head.
She walked over. "Um.. Excuse me sir... Are you okay..?" The man slowly turned around, his red eyes flashing at her. "Um..." He let go of his head, revealing his long vampire fangs. Yuna's eyes widened and she froze. The man stumbled over to her slowly. Yuna paled, then screamed.
--------------------------------------
Moments before Yuna was attacked, Shinwoo, Ikhan, Raizel and (Y/N) had just left an Internet Cafe. Shinwoo had dragged (Y/N) along against her protests. She had already planned out her evening: Go home, eat lunch, do homework, check the city's outdoor security cameras, eat dinner and play games or watch movies. Then she would go to sleep at 2:00am, not that she really needed to. (Y/N) sighed. Most, if not all, her plans had just flew out the window.
"How is it that I can't beat you once?" Shinwoo asked in exasperation. "And that mysterious player, 'IAmTheGoddess3192'.... How?!" Raizel's eyes widened slightly upon hearing the username. Could it be...?
(Y/N)'s eyes flickered to Raizel, who couldn't seem to get the hint. She sighed. It was her who was playing the game under that alias.
It seems her identity would not be revealed for a long time.
Her attention returned to Ikhan and Shinwoo's argument. "It's funny how you think you can beat me..." Ikhan pushed up his glasses.
"Fine~ Whatever..." Shinwoo replied, slightly annoyed. (Y/N)'s steps faltered for a short moment. So.. They're here again..? And their with that... Thing they created..? It was not noticed by the boys she was walking with.
"Next time you should play too..." Ikhan spoke to Raizel.
"I don't understand how you manage to watch us for hours without being bored..." Shinwoo replied. (Y/N) blinked. She knew very well the reason, but she couldn't say. She didn't really want to be revealed that soon. "Next time we go, I'll teach you how to play."
"Really? With your hot temper?" Ikhan asked in amusement.
"....." Shinwoo couldn't reply.
(Y/N) snickered. "Burn~" He just huffed in annoyance.
"What about you, (Y/N)? I haven't seen you eat, let alone play the game!" He pointed at her.
".... It's rude to point...." "Like your one to talk! You didn't eat the lunch I offered!"
"I did... See..?" (Y/N) brought out the empty and clean bowl. "You were just too-" "AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH~!" A sudden loud scream cut her off.
"W-what was that..?" Ikhan asked suddenly. But Shinwoo had disappeared and (Y/N) was following Shinwoo behind at a slightly slower pace. Suddenly turning around the corner, they came to a sudden stop.
"YUNA!" Shinwoo yelled urgently. "That punk!" He kicked the man on the shoulder and away from Yuna. He crashed into a pile of trash.
Catching up, (Y/N) groaned. "Ugh... Too loud..." She pulled on a pair of gloves. The thing was still advancing on the terrified girl. She sighed. If the situation became worse, she might have to step in.
Not long after, Ikhan and Raizel caught up to (Y/N) and Shinwoo. "Yuna! Are you okay?"
"Y-yeah.." Shinwoo glanced at her, worried.
"Shinwoo, don't worry... I think she's fine."
"Yeah, sure..... Traumatised, but fine..." (Y/N) replied sarcastically, earning a small glare from Ikhan.
"Okay..." Shinwoo hesitantly agreed.
"Get up slowly, Yuna..." Ikhan guided her to the standing position. There was a crackle of sound from the pile of litter the 'strange' man had fallen into.
"Who is that guy...? I'm sure I hit him pretty hard..." Shinwoo trailed off as the man stood up. Then the 4 of them, excluding (Y/N) who already knew about it, noticed the stranger's red eyes.
"What's with his eyes? He's about to shoot laser from his eyes!" (Y/N) blinked.
"Shinwoo," She sighed. "You've read too many science-fiction novels. I can assure you that such things do not exist." They ignored her, as the man stood up unstably.
"Shinwoo, that guy is weird..." Ikhan trailed off. "Oh and Shinwoo doesn't read. He watches movies..."
"In that case, he's seen too many American science fiction movies...." She trailed off, thinking of a certain American idiot.
