However, the young lady wasn't here to join a club, but rather had thought of someone who would be perfect to develop into a Servant.
The tennis club president, Abe Kiyame!
This individual was also on the bounty list, though she didn't possess any Divine Artifacts, only her own abilities.
Originally from an Island Nation's Magical Beast Master lineage, she was skilled at controlling magical beasts and possessed extensive knowledge about them.
Thinking about the state of the Familiar Forest, Miss Moonlit had her own ideas. If she had the chance, she definitely had to visit that place, as many targets were located in the Underworld's Familiar Forest.
Among them was a Dragon King comparable to a Demon King Class.
If she had this person with her, it would undoubtedly make things much more convenient. Even setting that aside, her Beast Taming Talent alone was excellent.
"Looking for the president? What about her? The president just went out..."
Just as a club member was about to answer that Abe Kiyame had gone out, a voice came from the doorway the next second.
"What do you want with me?"
Turning her head, a beautiful girl with curly blonde hair walked in through the doorway – it was Abe Kiyame.
Entering the club, Abe Kiyame sized up Miss Moonlit before her, not recognizing her at all. When had such a beautiful girl appeared at the school?
Immediately, a sense of discouragement arose in her heart.
She considered herself quite beautiful, but the girl before her was clearly even more outstanding. Perhaps not even that annoying Demon was more outstanding than her.
"Hello, can we talk in private?"
Miss Moonlit was very polite. There were too many people here, and the following conversation was not suitable for ordinary people to know.
"In private?"
Abe Kiyame frowned slightly. What business required private discussion? But after thinking about it, she agreed.
"Then let's talk inside!"
Saying this, the girl pointed towards the inside of the room, where there weren't many people.
Upon arriving, Miss Moonlit's expression turned serious, and she looked at the girl before her, saying, "Human, let's make a deal!"
"Human? A deal? Are you one of those Demons too!"
However, upon hearing Miss Moonlit's words, before she could even state what the deal was, Abe Kiyame's attitude changed completely, her expression one of clear disdain.
It was obvious she looked down on Demons!
Yes, she knew there were many Demons at the school, but she had always disliked them.
"Demon? I'm not a Demon."
Miss Moonlit calmly denied it upon hearing this.

"You're not a Demon?"
Hearing the girl's answer, Abe Kiyame expressed her doubt. Firstly, calling someone "human" wasn't something a chuunibyou would do, which meant she wasn't human.
Furthermore, deals and contracts were precisely what Demons loved most, weren't they?
Abe Kiyame knew this very well. She also saw the Demons' flyers from time to time, and the Demon Teleportation Arrays advertised on them clearly indicated their capabilities.
"No, I'm more of a... Vampire! Human."
As she spoke, her blood-colored eyes flashed, and her cute small fangs were revealed.
Miss Moonlit had no intention of hiding her identity from this girl, as her goal was to turn her into a Vampire as well.
"Vampire? That's not any better."
Upon learning Miss Moonlit's identity, Abe Kiyame showed no particular reaction. In her eyes, neither was particularly likable, though she didn't dislike Vampires as much as she disliked Demons.
"..."
What's wrong with Vampires and Demons?!
One might think she had been bullied by Demons or Vampires.
Looking at the girl's reaction, Miss Moonlit was indignant!!
At this moment, Abe Kiyame, looking at the indignant Vampire before her, felt a strange sense of being charmed by her. She couldn't help but reach out a finger and poke Miss Moonlit's puffed-out cheek.
"What are you doing?"
The girl quickly batted away the finger, her attitude unpleasant and touching her.
"What's this deal you mentioned? Tell me first!"
Her hand being batted away didn't anger Abe Kiyame. She simply crossed her arms over her chest, showcasing her proud assets, and asked in a ladylike manner.
"Human, don't act like I'm begging you! This deal is for your own good."
If it were the Miss Moonlit of ten thousand years ago, or any other Theresa, faced with this girl's "arrogant" demeanor, she would have surely gotten angry and slapped her.
What good was growing up?!
But the current Miss Theresa Moonlit couldn't care less!
"For my own good?"
Upon hearing this, Abe Kiyame's face showed confusion. They didn't even know each other!
"Human, do you know about the Divine Artifact, the Sephiroths Cup?"
Ignoring the young lady's confusion, Moonlit found a place to sit and continued speaking.
"Divine Artifact? Sephiroths Cup? What does that mean?"
Although she didn't know much, Abe Kiyame was aware of the existence of Divine Artifacts. She had never seen such a Divine Artifact before, only knowing that they were incredibly powerful.
"It's the strongest Divine Artifact capable of overturning life itself, and it's in my hands."
Extending her hand, the phantom image of the Holy Grail appeared in her palm.
Despite being a Vampire, Miss Moonlit now appeared as sacred as the "Lord" in the Bible, radiating the Holy Power of the God of the Bible.
"..."
She was a Vampire, so why did she possess this Divine Artifact? She couldn't quite understand.
However...
"And what does that have to do with me?"
She was surprised by the Vampire's Divine Artifact, but that was all, right?
Very few people knew about Fallen Angel technology. The common knowledge for most people was that Divine Artifacts could not be transferred or stolen.
But even if they knew about this technology, ordinary people would have no way to obtain it. Fallen Angels would not hand over such important technology to others.
Of course, some Transcenders and Sovereigns had other ways to extract Divine Artifacts from within a person without needing this technology. However, such individuals were few and far between in this world.
"Become Theresa's Servant, and I can share Ageless and Undying and even greater power with you. In the future, you'll be able to change your fate by your own will."
"Heh, so that's how it is!"
Hearing Moonlit's objective, Kiyame's face showed disdain.
She knew why this Vampire had come to find her; she wanted to take her in as her Servant.
"So, why would I want to become a gloomy Vampire? If this is the transaction you're offering, then let's end it here. I'm not interested."
"You can leave now."
Abe Kiyame was not tempted by what Moonlit had said. Although Ageless and Undying sounded good, becoming a Vampire was out of the question for her.
Regarding non-human beings like Demons, Vampires, Yokai, and Fallen Angels... most exorcist families in the Island Nation dared not provoke them, yet they looked down on them.
It was a kind of arrogance, like Ah Q or the Ignorance of the Barbarians.
Even though Demons, Fallen Angels, and even the Church had occupied so much territory in the Island Nation, they dared not speak out, merely guarding their small plots and despising these foreign barbarians...
Having grown up in such an environment, Abe Kiyame was somewhat influenced.
"Alright! Human, I hope you won't regret it when you face your father's forced marriage!"
With that, Moonlit turned to leave. It wasn't that she absolutely had to have her as a Servant; she just couldn't bear to part with the several hundred Crystals on the bounty.
If she couldn't win her over, she would have to kill her to get the reward. But killing someone just for a reward, and not even as a villain or an enemy, was something the girl couldn't do.
"Wait a minute! Forced marriage? What do you mean?"
Suddenly hearing this, and recalling Moonlit's earlier words, Abe Kiyame grabbed Moonlit's wrist and asked sternly.
"There's no need to say more."
"Human, you should know that in a family like yours, your fate is not truly your own, unless you possess the capital to choose your own destiny."
The girl didn't explain much, nor did she mention the situation she would face later. It was just that in such prominent families, some things were predetermined.
Unless one possessed the strength to say "no."
"..."
Listening to the words of the Vampire girl before her, Abe Kiyame was speechless.
She was right. Even as a beloved young lady, she had no choice when it came to her family's arrangements, unless she had the strength to defy them.
But even so, she still refused to give up her humanity and become a Vampire.
"Oh, right, human, the transaction I mentioned wasn't just that."
As she was about to leave, Moonlit seemed to remember something and spoke to explain.
"What?"
Kiyame was stunned. Wasn't Moonlit's transaction to turn her into a Servant and gain some kind of power?
"Ageless and Undying is just a bonus for becoming a Servant. The actual transaction is for the highest-grade Dragon Species from the Familiar Forest."
Her crimson eyes swept over the girl's expression, and Moonlit said regretfully, "I wanted to help you subdue at least one potential highest-grade or even Quasi-Demon King Dragon Species Magical Beast by having you become my Servant. But if you're unwilling, then so be it!"
The girl vaguely remembered that this person had a particular fondness for Dragon Species Magical Beasts. Especially powerful Dragon Species, and even being a Demon didn't affect her preference.
With this as bait, Abe Kiyame's breathing clearly became more rapid.
Highest-grade, Quasi-Demon King Dragon Species?
The girl could hardly dare to imagine. Her own magical beasts were at most intermediate level, and she already cherished them dearly.
Higher-level magical beasts were already an unimaginable power, even within her family, they were top-tier existences.
A Dragon Species of Quasi-Demon King level? That was something she could only dream of.
"Are you telling the truth?"
Abe Kiyame's heart stirred. Since the vampire before her possessed a Divine Artifact, subduing a high-level or even Quasi-Demon King level Dragon Species wasn't impossible.
"Theresa never lies."
It seemed she had succeeded. One more Servant added.
Qian Xun
However, it was clear this young lady wouldn't agree to become a Servant right away. She needed to actually help her subdue a qualified Dragon Species first.
That didn't matter. Miss Moonlit was already planning to visit the Familiar Forest, and she could bring Abe Kiyame along then. Helping her Blood Servant improve her strength would also benefit her, and Miss Moonlit wouldn't be stingy about it.
Friday afternoon, as the dismissal bell rang, students began leaving the classrooms one after another. Most of them wore happy smiles, after all, the weekend was coming.
Except for students who had duty or club activities, most people left school with their bags.
At this moment, Issei Hyoudou was slinging his arms around his two closest friends, discussing something with a rather lewd expression. Issei Hyoudou in particular was reaching out and scratching the air, as if gesturing about size.
This made them even more detestable. Classmates passing by who saw the three of them, especially the girls, cursed them as perverts and kept their distance.
As for all this, the trio was accustomed to it and didn't pay much attention. It would be strange if any girls ever looked favorably upon them.
Except for a certain experienced driver.
They didn't consider her a woman at all. Her driving was even more impressive than theirs, and the crucial point was that the trio couldn't get the upper hand against her.
