Academy Light Attribute Vampire

90 – Tank Recruitment

Elena and I wandered around the city, focusing on the marble’s reaction.

From famous restaurants with many people,

Or even a restaurant without a sign that is said to be hidden in an alleyway.

‘…?’

Looking at it,

It seems like everyone went to restaurants, though.

In conclusion…

“Rye… I’m hungry.”

The exploration that started after lunch,

There was no result until Elena’s belly button ringing, announcing dinner.

By the way…

“Are you hungry?”

I still feel sick to my stomach.

“…Heh.”

“What is he… Wait.”

No matter how you think about it, it’s impossible to put something more in the current state.

But it’s a bit hard to sit in front and watch Elena while she eats alone…

‘Let’s see each other for the first time in a while, shall we invite the kids from Team 2?’

Diring-!

Fortunately, all three of them are outside, so they say they can come right away.

I was a little puzzled that Bell was outside, but

Let’s move to a nearby family restaurant that we often go to.

“…Huh? Isn’t that Bell?”

“What are you talking about? It’s been a while since I sang… It’s true.”

Just before entering the store,

Something small was trudging along in the distance.

The goggles for workshops and lifeless eyes resting on top of his messy white hair.

From a distance, it was clear that it was Bell.

“Then why are you walking over there?”

“…Lai. The production department isn’t over yet.”

“Oh.”

Come to think of it,

I think I’ve heard that the production department is having a hard time traveling long distances because they have to go to the guild where there is a workshop.

‘…I forgot.’

Because it’s Bell’s job that he doesn’t talk about himself even in the group chat room.

She just knew that she was stuck in the studio as always.

She even finds herself in a really tired situation, even though she normally looks tired.

A pitiful feeling arises for the viewer.

Should I say that it seems like watching an unemployed son who used to play at home a little go to work and have a hard time?

“…Bell.”

“Helena…”

Prison.

There is a reunion party that cannot be seen without tears.

Bell, who had been rubbing in Elena’s arms on her knees for a while,

She naturally turns her direction and reaches out to me.

“…What.”

“Raido…”

As usual, it was something that would not have happened, but

I feel sorry for myself today, so please do it at least once…

It was then.

The moment you try to pick Bell up with an expression that you can’t help it,

The reason Bell started to smile was a sinister smile.

Tup-!

Let’s succeed in stopping Bell’s hand from digging into Kara.

“…Chit.”

A small clicking sound came to my ears.

“… You sneaky kid.”

“…Too much.”

Like a misfortune heroine who was refused a hug, she runs to Elena and starts clinging to her.

“Lai…! You can hug me at least once!”

“Didn’t you just see where the hand goes? Do you know what s*xual harassment is?”

“But… What does a little guy like Bell know…”

“… Elena.”

“Huh?”

“He’s in the same grade as us? How old is he then?”

“…!”

Let’s have an argument that doesn’t happen that way.

“… What are you doing? You’re not in, at the entrance?”

I haven’t had time to look at your face because I’ve been busy lately.

Yoon Mirae appeared.

“Morhan is a little late. You go in first, right?”

“Uh… Yes!”

Let’s go into a family restaurant and order a simple menu.

Chin-!

“It’s been a while since Elena and Bell. I even went to see him in class from time to time.”

“…Long time no see.”

“I heard that the future is very busy these days… Is your work going well?”

“What were you doing…? Ha ha.”

What were you doing?

Come to think of it,

She forgot something…

Boom!

“… What the hell. Except for the general manager, don’t you know how to operate machines?

Shin Jong-hak always sits there with an expression that he will die because he doesn’t want to go…!”

‘Oh.’

Remembered.

Gate’s analysis and statistics club.

“I’m so annoyed to death! Professor Bergen, if it weren’t for that man, it would have been completed a long time ago…!

Why don’t you just take it and give it back, saying you’ll review it when it looks like it’s going to work! It’s not an abuse of authority. This?!”

“That… Looks like a lot of trouble.”

One word, one word.

Every time Yoon Mi-rae complains, a dagger is stabbed in her chest.

‘…Sorry. I asked.’

In the first place, I didn’t know that Yoon Mi-rae would still hang on to that club.

Let’s just drink cold water out of futility.

“…Why don’t you say anything?”

Black eyes with extreme sensitivity,

It was looking straight at me.

“Kelluk!”

“He said he was coming to the club, but he never came…! If this is the case, why did he even share his location?!”

“… Did you share your location?”

“No, that’s not it…”

This is a very difficult situation.

At that time,

A reliable ally who always saves me when I am in trouble when I meet this member.

I saw a huge Morhan approaching through the sofa.

Bulkkeok.

“Here it is!”

“…?”

Let’s wave our hands with an expression that welcomes the world,

Morhan, who quickly spotted me, strode this way.

Pu-wook-

“Morhan! Long time no see!”

“… Long time no see.”

– Nod.

The faint smell of soap wafts out,

I must have been late because I was washing my sweaty body from training a while ago.

The food was served at just the right time, and we ended the meal in a good mood while chatting about small things.

Now then, let’s get to the point.

Teouk.

Let’s take out a transparent colored marble from the bag,

The eyes of the children who were scooping up the ice cream for dessert gathered all at once.

“What is that?”

“…Marbles?”

Actually, there is no meaning.

Since we just gathered like this,

I just wanted to find the owner of the marble, so I took it out.

The people gathered here are at least one of the few people who can be said to be close to me.

Curious Belle reached out to pick up the marble first.

However, thanks to the unfortunate length of my arm, I couldn’t even reach the marble placed right in front of me.

-HwijeokHwijeok!

“…Just. It’s a long story. Think of it as an artifact.”

“Then can’t you just use it?”

“As you can see.”

Let’s put the beads in Bell’s hand, who has been waving her arms.

-Wow!!!

Brurrr-!

Bell’s body, holding the marble, vibrates, sending out a strong reaction signal.

Quack!

The moment Bell threw a bead flying towards Elena in surprise.

“Kyaa…!!”

Tup-!

“Nice catch.”

Morhan stretched out his long arm and succeeded in grabbing the orb from the middle.

By the way.

“…?”

Quiet-

Three seconds have passed since the orb was caught in Morhan’s gigantic hand.

10 Seconds.

Even after 30 seconds.

“What is it?”

“Lai… This.”

The guy who had refused the hand of many people until now,

No response was sent.

-?

Even Morhan took out his smartwatch and started jotting down something of his embarrassment.

-Titling!

I checked the contents.

-Morhan: Guys… Is this a hidden camera?

There was a message that was sufficiently understandable.

“… If this was acting, Belle should have been an actress, right?”

So absurd,

It seems that we succeeded in finding the owner of the marble this time.

After that, I started explaining the beads to everyone.

Fortunately, during vacation, Bell and Morhan heard the story of the fairy forest, so they quickly understood it.

And then it got dark and we went back to the dormitory.

“Hello!”

“Go in carefully.”

Because the women’s and men’s dormitories were separate,

On the way back to the dormitory alone with Morhan after naturally parting with the female gins.

-Suck.

Suddenly, Morhan handed me something.

“… What is it?”

I reached out and took the object Morhan gave me.

The marble I gave to Morhan a moment ago was back in my hand.

‘Huh?’

When I looked up,

Morhan shook his head slowly.

“…Why? I can’t take it?”

– Nod.

“Why? Because it’s burdensome?”

– No matter what.

“So what?”

Tap, tap, tap.

-Titling!

The smart watch rang and Morhan received a personal message.

If you read the contents,

It was about feeling ashamed to gain power even though he didn’t make any effort.

As a bonus, it also says that there may be owners who are more suitable than you.

‘… Anyway.’

I’ve felt it since long ago,

From noble mtl dot com

He is a fairly sincere guy.

Morhan may be right.

In the world, there is no way that someone who has an aptitude for marbles is fortunately only around me.

Somewhere in the world,

What if the power of the marbles is added to a matured strongman who is more powerful than the growing Morhan?

However, it is not a coincidence that the people around me are born with aptitude.

First of all, Selina had an aptitude for the power of a burimi.

Selina was a villain in the novel who was seduced by Dimension and later grew to the level of executives.

Even if Selina had the aptitude for being a manager, wouldn’t there be something strange about it?

It was a similar case with Morhan.

But.

“… Hey. Are you so insecure about yourself?”

Morhan,

Serina doesn’t know about that fact.

Poof-!

“Then you should keep it until you find another owner later.”

But that didn’t mean she could give Morhan a convincing explanation.

It’s frustrating, but

It was inevitable.

“… Selina also received a similar bead. You know? Photos of flying dragons called Sela keep coming up in the group chat room.”

-…

“If you say that, then Selina must be the one who took the marble without hesitation?”

Morhan shook his head more hurriedly than ever.

-Awesome!

Fishik.

“You can use it any time. Good night then.”

I tried to turn her body around and walk into the dormitory,

Suddenly, the figure of Morhan, who is still in trouble while holding the marble, is reflected through the mirror in the lobby.

‘…’

Of course, there are things in the world that you can communicate without speaking.

For example, like today’s Morhan.

Just by looking at those troubled eyes, this big guy can tell you about himself,

And I can clearly see what you think about me.

She must be thinking that she’s no match for me.

A sparring with Seong Jin-ha during the martial arts competition.

Social position as Adela’s younger brother.

Even the story of the elves’ forest.

But.

…As much as there are things in the world that can be communicated even without words,

Something that doesn’t work if you don’t tell it exists.

I am vaguely aware.

Sug-

I turn my head and walk back towards Morhan.

It’s clear why I didn’t want to tell Morhan.

If I say this to Morhan,

Because I knew what a burden this big, nice guy was going to feel.

How terribly selfish I am,

Because it was an act of taking it out by mouth.

Chuck-

Towards Morhan, who turned around and looked at me back at him, his eyes wide open.

He slowly opened his mouth.

“… Do you think you get this privilege because you’re my friend?”

-Awesome!

“Right.”

To be honest.

When Burimi’s orb reacted to Selina,

In my heart, I was very happy.

“I… Want you to be stronger.”

In the first place, before falling into this world,

I’d never even had a proper fight.

“I want you to become stronger and fight alongside me.”

I was scared,

To injure the body and bleed and be wounded.

But.

“… Please.”

More than that,

I became afraid of getting hurt by people I care about.

That’s why I was able to get up every morning to do the training I didn’t want to do.

Just looking at the case Kirna got involved in this time,

I realized that no matter how much I struggled alone, it would be difficult to protect everyone.

So,

This is compulsion.

To fight together,

Please help me protect my precious people.

“…That.”

Do you think so?

The moment when I was suddenly speechless.

– Chuck.

Morhan quietly put his hand on my head and said,

Soon, without a word, he walked into the dormitory.

‘… No. Since he’s Morhan, it’s only natural that he doesn’t say anything.’

I can feel Morhan’s back getting bigger as he walks up the stairs today.

I didn’t know if Morhan would use the marbles or not, but…

“Whoa.”

This is enough, but I conveyed my heart.

‘Now the choice is up to Morhan.’

Let’s go in quickly, wipe our feet, and go to sleep.

Of course, after a while,

It was a very trivial matter that a community post posted saying that I confessed to Morhan in front of the dorm late at night.
