I Want To Escape From the Vampire’s Blood Bag

Chapter 68

68 – encounter (2)

Since Lachesis Academy did not have a separate Ministry of Alchemy and was operated only by the Ministry of Magic and the Ministry of Knights, alchemy was a secondary study.

However, alchemy is a science that is full of curiosity for young people…

Along with craftsmanship, it quickly became popular among students, and students with a spirit of inquiry even created and operated a separate club, securing their own position within the academy.

As time passed, alchemy showed signs of secretly creating and circulating forbidden elixirs among students.

In the end, at the top of the academy, the study of alchemy was embraced by setting up a transformation hall near the laboratory building and arranging professional professors.

A glass building reminiscent of a pyramid built with such a story…

crown of transformation.

Hayu’s next class, deepening alchemy practice, will take place here.

Inside the classroom, the Royal Class cadets and the Half Class cadets, who could use the personal furnishings room, were gathering one by one to listen to the class.

The alchemy-advanced class is also held in the same place as last year’s alchemy-basic class.

Unlike the last time when there were 20 people in the class, the half class was mixed and the number of people was huge. But at the beginning of the semester,

Since I had the status of a Royal Class cadet, in this atmosphere, fortunately, I didn’t get much attention.

– Turbuck.

I quietly found Iris and stood next to her.

Iris… He was wearing a white hood and even a mask, so he could only see around his eyes.

As I approached, her gaze, pierced with holy water, frowned as if she had seen something she couldn’t see.

“… Good work.”

“… !”

The word good work resonates in my heart.

I don’t know if I just heard from Iris,

On the alchemy bench right next to us is Lane and her maid.

That’s something she’d never said to me, really, under any circumstances.

‘Still, the servant seems to have changed well.’

Perhaps after a year has passed, the atmosphere that Rain exudes also seems to have changed quite a bit.

More at readwn

Just then, a skinny man with scattered hair appeared in front of the podium.

“I am Mist Broom Systemique, an imperial certified alchemist. I prefer middle names… I’d prefer you to call me Professor Broom… ”

He was politely using honorifics, but his voice, which deviated intermittently, gave the impression of an eccentric.

“I should have read the syllabus beforehand, but… The goal of today’s practice was to write a report on the composition of holy water… ”

Professor Broom smiled brightly, and his gold teeth sparkled.

– Shall we gather in a group of four?

-… …

There is a moment of silence at his words, and soon each finds a mate.

– Hung-seong-gung-seong.

“… … ”

From the first class, it feels cheap to do group activities.

Rather, since it is a royal class and a half class, they notice each other.

There are likes and dislikes.

Iris, the princess, is difficult to approach for various reasons, so I avoid it.

Arain, it’s popular with demon students and aristocrats of a lower level, but

She is the only demon in the 2nd year Royal Class, so her preference is low.

“Iris-sama… ”

“… why?”

“Are you sick?”

At my words, Iris quietly raises her mask even higher.

“… … ”

In the end, we were in the same group as Lane.

* * *

When the lunch break was over and the lecture started, the number of cadets visiting the sanctuary where Prissy was located decreased, and the break time naturally came.

Floria, now with her short pink hair tied in a ponytail, approaches Prissy.

“Prissy!”

“Floria! What’s going on here… ”

“Because it’s a public river. Are you able to do your job? Looking at it, it seems that there are a lot of motherfuckers and malingers… ”

When Floria glanced at the men wandering around to see Prissy, Prissy seemed okay.

“Because all academy cadets have the right to be treated. If I can help, that’s… ”

Floria cut off her words as if she was fed up.

“It’s really because Prissy-nim can’t do this. The stalker I chased after last time is now going to Prissy, did you properly refuse?”

“… yes! I definitely conveyed my thoughts in a letter… !”

Prissy quietly conveys her intentions in a letter so that the person who confessed is not hurt.

Although the details of the refusal are obvious, the problem is that it is widely known to the cadets that there is no shame or risk in case of failure.

If Prissy had any crush on her, everyone would stab her.

In particular, when she gave up her priesthood and joined the academy as a priest, everyone, regardless of position, tried to confess to her.

In other words, for Prissy, life at the academy is Valentine’s Day and White Day throughout the year.

Floria knew that even at the festival, when the ranking match was over, her popularity would reach its peak.

“Because Prissy is very popular… Depending on the target, it can be a little cold, right?”

“But, I saw that Floria was also confessed… ”

Floria looked at Prissy with eyes that made her see this.

“… Aren’t you denying your popularity now?”

The two, who had become so close, looked at each other and laughed for a while.

Then, Floria, who is sensitive to rumors, brought up the topic first.

“By the way, I heard a transfer student came. Have you seen it? Well, if I stay here, I won’t be able to see anything… ”

“I’m a transfer student… ?”

“yes. Iris-sama’s new servant. Her hair is white, and she looks like an unlucky parasitic brother… what was his name… Anyway! Of course I’m not interested, but I heard that I’m going to face Arain-nim this time.”

“ah… ”

The man from before passes through Prissy’s mind. Mysterious yet cute appearance.

Like Prince Kyle, he seems to go in and out of social events without fail, and he has a look that would have brought tears to many women.

Of course, Prissy doesn’t evaluate people by their faces.

However, his bitter tone mixed with laughter didn’t seem flirtatious or lighthearted.

Rather, if someone comes to mind…

This feeling of tingling in the chest area is only one person.

‘When you say something you don’t mean to say, slightly pulling your chin… what?’

It was his habit that only Prissy, who tried to engrave Hayu’s every word and action, could understand.

It’s already been a year.

It could be a coincidence, or it could be a habit common people have, not just Hayu.

‘Let’s not think like this.’

Projecting someone only you know to others is the worst.

She shook her head and quickly put her thoughts away.

At that time, Floria said as if tossing it.

“So what, I thought we were going to watch together.”

Floria is not particularly worried about Lane.

Even if there were troubles in the past from the perspective of the family, now is the time to cooperate with each other for the sake of Hayu.

From her point of view, Rain now doesn’t seem to think well of the Aspondell family, who made Hayu unhappy.

‘If you use this well… ‘

Hayu’s revenge on Aspondel… may open the way for

Of course, I don’t know if this is what he wants or not,

Right now, Floria was sincerely cheering for Lane to become student council president.

* * *

-… …

We got to a situation where we sat on the test table and faced each other.

Is it okay to gather people who will soon have a ranking battle like this?

I stared straight ahead.

A year later, Lane has changed a bit.

What looked bad was being covered up with smoky makeup that wasn’t too much,

I no longer tied my hair with a ribbon.

She has jet-black straight hair and wears an ultramarine blue beret.

The sharp nose and the large but cool eyes are the same… It seems that the dark atmosphere has become stronger than before.

She closed her eyes gently, then opened one eye again to check the professor’s notice, only repeating the action.

‘I’m thinking of finishing it alone.’

From what I’ve seen for 10 years, she intends to do it alone rather than forming a group.

This persistence is still there.

And beside it…

There was a familiar face.

‘bell…?’

I almost said it through upbringing at the moment.

At the same time, his eyes met those blue eyes.

She seemed shy, and smiled as if asking for a favor.

There is only about 5 years difference between Bell and Bell in Korean age, but…

-Hayu oppa!

-Please hug me!

When I was a kid, when I was a little tired from playing, I begged me to hug him.

A very honest and confident child.

When I look into those pure eyes, I feel like I am being stabbed as if I am reading my mind.

‘At this age already?’

Of course, he is Lane’s servant, but seeing that he entered the academy very early, it is clear that he also has talent.

It gets a little bit bittersweet.

I couldn’t even say goodbye to her.

Since he became Lane’s servant, he must have listened roughly to what I said.

I’m glad you grew up well… is it?

At that time, Professor Broom’s lecture began with the sound of writing.

“Alchemy is… The beginning is to forge gold, which was considered a perfect material in the past. Perhaps this part is one of the theories everyone learned in the basic practice… ”

No matter how geeky they may seem, professors are sincere when it comes to their studies.

His tone felt the same way.

Even in the awkward atmosphere, the cadets gradually began to pay attention to his words.

“However, it is not alchemy to simply settle for material things. At the time, it was because of the belief that if you could create a perfect material, you would also get a perfect soul.”

Broom slightly straightened his bent back for a moment, then continued.

“But, I dare say, you guys are not perfect. It’s like a gemstone that hasn’t been polished yet… Making small mistakes, trying and failing, and experiences that can only be gained at this time are what make you stronger.”

Contrary to what it seemed, stories that would appear in self-help books poured out of his mouth.

To put it badly, I’m an old man, but… No one seems to think so.

“Perhaps more important than the alchemy of making a perfect soul is this time… only!”

Broome’s eyes began to fluctuate.

“You are all eating at a loss right now. Well, because of the class skipping duel, I think there must have been a time when the class got mixed up and blushed at each other… I understand everything… ”

Everyone competed in a skipping duel that took place before the ranking match.

Among them, the half class and the royal class must have had a particularly high level of pride.

Everyone could tell by looking at their faces.

A chilly atmosphere like a plate of thin ice.

Broome said lamentably.

“However! Good results cannot come out in this atmosphere… Alchemy isn’t just a formula like reagent manufacturing. You have to constantly explore! Even if you’re bumping heads with the person right next to you… ”

As he beckoned, a woman who appeared to be a teaching assistant pushed something that looked like a desiccator full of reagents into it.

“So, this Broom. I prepared. In order to break this strange cold war… ”

At the moment, I think of Professor Agnel Legermond who ordered the palm time.

My hidden passive, Danger Awareness, was activated.

This buildup is not a good flow.

“I’ll give you one of these.”

At the professor’s beckoning, the assistants stepped in and placed each labeled reagent bottle in front of us.

Depending on the viewing angle, it was a mix of purple and brown liquid.

“This is the elixir that your electrician seniors made for the last class. As per tradition… You too… It is also the final goal that will be created in the final course of advanced alchemy.”

He raised a bottle of reagent and shouted a toast.

“Cheol. shit Let’s all have a toast!”

– Ungsung.

At that moment, the classroom started to stir.

Broom’s sunken, curly, male version of the witch gave off a slightly uneasy atmosphere.

Besides, drinking a mysterious elixir.

‘Is it openly poisoning?’

– Hung-seong-gung-seong.

When we noticed each other, Broom spoke hastily, as if trying to reassure us.

“Do not worry. Guaranteed by Bloom, an Imperially Certified Alchemist. It’s a reagent that will make you friends. Half truth elixir, half lie elixir. Efficacy… Let’s see… ”

Broom beckoned again, and one of the teaching assistants with a good impression drank the potion at once.

-gulp

Everyone’s eyes are focused on her neckline.

After a while, Broom asked her.

“You seem to be free these days, is that right?”

-no? Please let me go to work!!

– Please fire me!

-Just kill me…

The effect was clear.
