Academy Light Attribute Vampire

46 – Martial Arts Tournament (4)

“Eh~~ I ate well.”

“…Yes.”

Rush.

As members of Team 2, from Selina to Bella and Neneto.

After calling each one, the number of people increased considerably.

“Where should we go to the cafe?”

“Hmm…”

“Ah! I know a good place!”

“Bella, you say everything is fine…”

“… I’ll have to go to a place with a wider table first.”

The sound is full even with just one word.

Well, that’s the beauty of festivals…

It seems that Morhan and Elena also liked Bella.

So… Huh?

-Is your hair okay?

-… I’m still a bit dizzy…

-Are you okay?

I see a familiar silhouette approaching from the other side.

Blue hair, short stature, and red eyes.

Kirna and Grade were walking with a classmate of vampires.

“Huh?”

“What is it?”

The other side pretends to know if they have found us.

“… Bye.”

“Do you guys have a party too?”

“That’s right… Our grade-nim went crazy in the round of 32.”

A thrill.

Kirna glared at Grade.

Grade protested with an unfair expression.

“…It can’t be helped.”

“Still, losing is losing. Because of you, I’m the only one..!”

Anyway, before the game started.

I must be bothered that you came up to me and told me to be careful.

I thought Grade would win, so I warned you,

It’s embarrassing to lose.

“You worked hard. Are you feeling better?”

“…Don’t hit it that hard if you’re going to worry about it.”

“That’s how close it was.”

“Anyway…”

Still, I was a little worried after hitting it because I couldn’t control my strength because I had to change direction in a hurry at the end.

Fortunately, it seems to be all right.

“…You beat me, so you must win. Have fun and go.”

“Yes, you guys have fun too.”

After parting ways with Kirna and Grade and the others.

I entered the cafe recommended by Bella.

– With my daughter!

As soon as you enter, you will see an employee wearing a pink wall sheet and a long dress.

‘… It’s a pretty girly cafe.’

At the same time, Neneto and Morhan’s expressions began to harden rapidly.

“Hey… Bella.”

“hahahahahah!! When will men come to a place like this..! You come at a time like this!”

“…”

From noble mtl dot com

‘… Seems to like Morhan quite a bit?’

Anyway.

As a large number of people entered at once, the waitress guided us to a seat in the back room.

A huge table, pillows, and dolls filled the room.

“Wow..! Cute!”

“… There were places like this.”

“How are you? Oh, the seal cushion here is so soft!”

I don’t think I have any plans to change the store.

It’s me, because Subin forced me to go to places like this from time to time…

Molkan.

The pillow is soft and nice.

Let’s sit down naturally supporting our arms with pillows,

Mi-rae Yoon secretly sent her eyes.

“… Mr. Rai looks a bit familiar, doesn’t he?”

“What?”

“You must have been here a lot.”

“Suddenly something…”

“”…””

What is it? And why are you so quiet?

I looked around and all eyes were on me.

Except for Bella, who thoughtlessly chose the menu.

‘…This.’

There is something.

Anyway, the expressions that look at me are unusual.

Morhan and Neneto look tense.

Even Elena and Selina keep their mouths shut.

Are you guys…

“I told you not to be stupid and listen…”

Awkward.

Looking at the reaction, it became clear.

… No matter how you do it, you really follow me.

“What are you talking about?”

“… I don’t know what I saw when I went downtown with Sung Jin-ha on the weekend… That’s just.”

Selina cuts in suddenly.

“Just?”

… What do you say?

To be honest, things get pretty complicated.

At times like this…

“… I just left because Jinha asked me.”

“Are you Seongjinha?”

I’m sorry.

Since you’re the main character, let’s make some sacrifices. It’s jinha

“Yeah, you know that Jinha goes out with Kaela-senpai these days, right?”

Nodding.

To see Sung Jin-ha, who is not friendly, showing off with Kaela-senpai these days.

To some extent, rumors were spreading among the children.

“…They are visiting from the royal family this time,

She originally asked Kaela-senpai for her guidance, but she said that Kaela-senpai was busy and left the funk, so she asked Jinha.”

“Ask Kaela-senpai for her guidance…? To the prince of a country?”

Ah.

“They… Are also a bit of a higher rank, to the point where they have to wear disguises on purpose.”

“Hmm…”

The look of doubt gradually disappears from the children’s eyes.

Okay. Almost passed

“So I just showed you around town and had dinner together.

I came here secretly, so I tried to hide it from you guys.”

At that time, Elena, who had been quietly listening to the story, opened her mouth.

“…Seemed pretty friendly for that kind of thing… Suck!”

She hurriedly covered her mouth, as if the story in her heart had come out without her knowledge.

… Elena.

You were very concerned.

“Anyway, that’s the story. It’s not like you’re imagining.”

“Sheesh… I thought it might be exciting.”

Mi-rae Yoon pulled her body back with a regretful expression and stretched her body.

“Well… But. Are you relieved now?”

“What. What is it?”

Selina reacts to Yoon Mi-rae’s words, blushing in embarrassment.

Those two fight, but somehow take good care of each other.

… I’m going to have to change the mood quickly because I’m noticing.

She hurriedly pointed at the menu and opened her mouth.

“Let’s order the menu sooner than that. I’ll have a cafe latte.”

“Ah..! I’m strawberry parfait!”

“… Even after eating that much earlier, do you still have that stuff in it?”

“Originally, dessert pears are separate!”

“Oh then I…”

Fortunately, I seem to have succeeded in passing it naturally somehow.

… I wonder if I should even care about this.

This is all my karma, so I can’t say anything to anyone.

At least as long as the story goes.

I just do the best I can.

**

‘… A lie.’

On the way back to school with friends.

Helena’s expression darkened.

‘It’s just that I was asked…’

I still remember it vividly.

The scene where Rai entered the accessory shop holding the hand of a woman with long black hair.

I’ve never seen Rai act so aggressively towards a member of the opposite s*x.

Ray was always kind to himself, Selina and the other girls, but

It felt like there was an unapproachable wall.

‘… A liar.’

Rye is a liar.

As well as the story of her own chronic disease,

He doesn’t always tell us his true feelings.

…But even so, they step too lightly into the other person’s sincerity.

-… If you want to cry, you can.

That night.

For the first time, I opened up to someone other than myself.

And then I realized.

The fact that I am not alone, that there is at least one person who understands the real me.

I never thought I would be so happy and thankful.

… I also wanted to be that kind of person for Rai.

But how…

-Suck.

Are you looking sideways?

Selina is also immersed in thought with a confused look on her face.

Is even Selina, the famous genius, lacking for Rai?

Then…

‘…’

I need some more…!

If only I could become stronger and be of help to Rai with confidence.

Will Rai open his heart to me someday?

‘… I don’t know.’

Something like how to open someone else’s heart.

Because I don’t know.

So now…

Kook.

‘Let’s do what I can.’

I don’t even know what I can do right now.

If you go through each step, it will be much better than standing still.

Under the setting sun.

Elena once again made her own will.

**

The next day.

“… It’s not easy fighting back to back.”

“I will…”

On the way to the stadium again from the morning.

“It won’t be easy for the other person from now on…”

“Today was the round of 16, quarterfinal, right?”

Neneto and Bella also helped out by the side.

“Yes.”

“I hope both of them can make it to the semifinals!”

At some point, we arrived at the front of the stadium.

“Then we’ll watch from the stands..! Fighting!”

“Thank you. See you later.”

Let’s go into the waiting room.

Unlike yesterday, the waiting room looks empty, probably because the number of people has drastically decreased.

Suddenly, only names I have heard of or familiar faces are gathered.

He looks nervous with a sharp edge.

“…Come out.”

Just like yesterday, let’s follow Professor Bergen into the arena.

-Wow!!!!

A loud shout greeted us.

“…Seems to be more crowded than yesterday?”

“That’s why you made so much noise yesterday…”

Anyway, yesterday’s fight was the result of word of mouth in the city.

It seems that a greater number of spectators than yesterday came to watch the martial arts competition.

‘… This is enough for the round of 16.’

The final is just how many come.

Gulp.

‘Whoa.’

He exhaled deeply once.

‘I’m not used to standing in front of so many people…’

Well, I don’t care the moment I get into a fight anyway…

It’s no joke that the pressure comes directly into your body.

Looking around, the other guys are also swallowing saliva.

Today as well, Veronica came up to the podium and delivered her opening speech.

-Then, let’s start the second day of the martial arts competition!

It announced the start of the martial arts competition.

Immediately after a simple medical check, I moved to the waiting area.

The round of 16 bracket has been uploaded on the big screen.

Let’s see…

My opponent is a top 10 elf archer.

Because it’s class A, I’ve seen his face from time to time.

At that level, it’s easy to deal with…

I also looked at other opponents.

Sungjin and Morhan also get along with the guys from class A who are roughly single digits or in the top 10 range…

‘Oh.’

This is an interesting lineup, right?

-Selina VS Kirna.

Both vampires specialize in blood magic.

Grade or I is a rather unusual case.

Vampires fight mostly using blood magic.

Selina, as well as Kirna, are talented enough not to be outdone anywhere.

Selina and Kirna step into the arena at the same time as they thought.

Then…

– The match begins!

Let’s see how the blood mage fights.

**

Suddenly!

As soon as it starts, the sound of something being cut is heard.

Of course, it’s not like Seong Jin-ha, who runs at an invisible speed and cuts down the opponent.

It was the sound of cutting his own palm.

`Eh…`

If you use the lancing device as in class, there is no help because the amount of blood flowing out is small.

At least that amount of blood is needed to engage the enemy,

Blood mages always have to injure themselves whenever they fight.

I asked Selina the other day and she said it was okay because she got used to it….

`How do you get used to that.`

-Push shu shu !!

The blood leaking from Selina and Kirna’s palms gradually begins to change its shape.

In the case of Kirna, in the form of an awl of thorns coiling around her.

And in Selina’s case…

“… Huh?”

The blood that was floating around Selina gradually clings to Selina’s body.

`That’s…`

Soon after that, it seemed to gradually take shape.

After a while, it began to take the form of a red sword.

-… What? Suddenly what…

-I also learned a little bit.

-I don’t know what kind of weird thing he’s doing….

-Hung!

With Kirna’s gesture, dozens of blood awls flew towards Selina.

But.

– Chow!

Let Selina wield her bloody sword.

The splattered blood broke the blood awl like a sword.

-Changgang!

And then straight away.

-Paat!

I quickly closed the distance.

-Profit…!

Basically, blood mages fight mainly with ranged attacks.

But in the case of Selina now…

-Kang!

Selina’s sword collides with Kirna’s dagger.

`…What is that?`

Transformation of blood magic.

Generally, the advantages of blood magic are its wide range of control and free transformation.

However, if you fight with a fixed form like Selina, the advantage will rather disappear….

It was then.

The moment Selina and Kirna’s swords are about to cross once again.

-Cheap!

Selina’s sword pierces Kirna’s dagger.

-…Huh?!

Kaang!!

The next moment.

At some point, the dagger escaped from Kirna’s hand and was flying in the sky.

From noble mtl dot com

– Cheo-eok.

Selina’s blood sword was aimed at Kirna’s neck.

…

`There was a way to use it like that.`

The moment Selina’s sword collided with Kirna’s dagger.

Turn her blood sword back into blood and penetrate her dagger.

A situation where you literally cut water with a knife.

Then, he immediately fixed his form again and slashed her dagger outward.

Finish by aiming her sword at the defenseless neck of Kirna.

`… It’s easy to say.`

Transformation of blood magic naturally takes time even for a skilled blood mage.

But for Selina, that moment is fleeting.

Liquid and solidified blood. It has undergone two form transformations in an instant.

– Winner Selina!

I went out to meet Selina as she confidently came down the arena.

“…Somehow he was overflowing with confidence.”

“It’s still a long way off.”

… It’s a pretty proud expression for something like that.

Anyway, with this, Selina is also advancing to the quarterfinals.

‘At this rate, she might end up with Sally or me…?’

The duel was over so quickly that Selina doesn’t seem to show all her cards either.

`… I don’t think winning will be easy.`

Let’s look towards the VIP seats.

I met eyes with Adela once.

-…

The figure of Adela quietly looking at me in armor.

Naturally, the story we had at the cafe that day comes to mind.

… Adela has no choice but to achieve her condition.

No matter what you do, you have to win first place.

Once again, engrave the promise,

I quietly looked down at her right wrist.
