The Vampire Is an Academy Honor Student

Episode 013. test (1)

‘I heard there was a transfer student in Class C?’

‘who?’

‘Roan Karziel. The second son of the Karziel family.’

Even Yuriel, who had no interest in other classes, had heard at least rumors about Roan, so his transfer to the Knights Faculty was a topic that often came up among the students.

He said he ate Rick Digrid, that he awakened mana in one day, etc.

No matter how long it’s been since the transfer, strange rumors have already flourished.

‘Roan… ?’

She wasn’t the type to believe rumors, but things were a little different this time.

She had visited the Duke of Carziel as a guest three years ago.

It was for the wedding talk with Ian, who was in the middle of a conversation.

Although the marriage did not take place, the person named Ian was deeply imprinted on her.

Because he was what she thought was the ideal knight and leader.

And Roan was more impressive than Ian.

The other thing is that this side was memorable in a negative direction.

During the week I stayed as a guest, I couldn’t say goodbye to him properly.

I couldn’t wait, so I went to this side first and tried to talk to him, but he lowered his head and muttered in a voice that I couldn’t hear.

This was clearly out of etiquette.

Of course, this wasn’t something he was doing, but he couldn’t help being compared to his straight eldest son.

A person like that came out of Karziel? Apart from the thin appearance, I was very disappointed.

I know it’s rude, but I thought it might be true that he was a picked-up child that I had only heard about.

And this kind of look of him was revealed as it was in the academy.

He didn’t go out with anyone, of course, and rumors were that he was being harassed.

The self-restraint of a high-ranking aristocrat is not easy either.

I thought about helping out because of the relationship between the families, but I stopped after realizing that it wouldn’t change just by helping me once or twice.

Because people don’t change easily.

However, as if laughing at such an idea, Roan changed at some point.

I feel healthier and above all, my confidence has increased.

I became a different person to the point where I wondered if my inner self had completely changed.

‘… … .’

I’ve always thought that people’s eyes are pretty accurate, but am I wrong?

It was confusing.

It was because the rumors didn’t sound like nonsense because it was right after the part that I thought would never change changed.

“… … .”

It was in the middle of that that I became the same group as Roan.

* * *

After the announcement about the test was made, the physical fitness test continued.

Naturally, I ranked last in all categories.

From running 8km lightly in the morning, it was too much for me, so it was a scheduled procedure.

“… Roan, 52.”

The morning training ended only after breaking the record for push-ups in the first year of high school.

“I will die.”

Instead of going to lunch with the other cadets, I lay down on the floor of the empty training ground.

Because I didn’t have the energy to stand up.

My whole body throbs as I try to forcefully follow the other guys.

I lay down with my head on my head with the intention of getting up after resting a little longer.

And secretly called Rick, who was leaving the training ground.

“hey.”

“!”

The boy’s movements stopped. Where are you going alone?

“You should go with me.”

“… … .”

Rick approached with a frown on his face and sat down beside him.

It was a time when I was lying down and looking up at the clear sky, taking a break.

“what. Who is coming?”

“hmm?”

I didn’t know who it was because I was lying down, but I could tell that someone was coming this way from the sound of the thumping approaching.

At my words, Rick turned his head.

“… omg.”

Then, what did he see, he held his breath.

Who are you?

‘Are you the instructor?’

From noble mtl dot com

Out of curiosity, I forcibly raised my aching body, but before I could get up, a shadow fell on my face.

Yuriel, who had come to class C, was looking down.

“!”

This time I was a bit surprised too.

It doesn’t look like he’s looking for Rick, seeing as his eyes are fixed on me.

While I was thinking about why I came here all of a sudden, something came to my mind.

“… Oh, is it because of the test?”

I couldn’t think of any other reason why she would suddenly visit me.

Yuriel blinked in surprise at my direct question.

But he soon nodded his head.

“yes. There is something I want to check before the exam.”

She turned and glanced at Rick, who was sitting next to me.

“Can I talk to you two?”

I don’t know what he was talking about, but he nodded his head saying he knew.

Rick quickly disappeared.

Anyone can see clearly which side has the upper hand in the relationship.

At this, Yuriel’s eyes widened.

“Rumors… .”

“huh?”

My eyes widened at the unexpected words. Are rumors of me spreading to the other half?

“no.”

I was curious about what was going on behind the scenes, but Uriel avoided the topic of that part.

“So what are you talking about?”

“that… .”

I asked for a business.

Uriel tightly closed his red lips, trying to say something.

This is a habit she develops when she is troubled.

I waited for him to open his mouth.

how long has it been like that

“excuse me… .”

As she slowly ran out of patience, she continued.

“I am excellent.”

“… Yes?”

A question mark floated on his forehead at the unexpected remark, considering he had waited for a long time.

‘Did you come to brag about yourself?’

The Yuriel I knew didn’t have that kind of personality, I thought it was strange.

Her earlobes turned slightly red, as if this thought was blatantly expressed in her expression.

And in the words that followed, I could see her true intentions.

“But it is not enough to simply be excellent.”

Whatever the truth, it is the outcome that matters in the end, she added.

“… Oh, yes.”

Unlike me and Ian, Yuriel’s family is not a samurai.

Rather, it is a family of politicians who have been involved in politics for a long time.

‘I see.’

It is common for women in such families to have arranged marriages.

Even that family doesn’t have any females besides Yuriel.

In the marriage conversation with Ian, mutual interests were intertwined, and since she was young, she was able to move on without hesitation, but now she is also old.

Gradually, words will come out of the family.

There is only one way for her to overcome the family pressure.

Prove that you are worth more than an arranged marriage.

“So grades are the most important issue for me.”

This is not a matter of choice.

It is something that must be done unconditionally.

Currently, her grades are 1st in her class.

Not only in the department of knights, but also in elective courses, the grades are also at the top.

This was the result of the combination of his natural talent and steady efforts.

At this point, I could understand why she had come to visit someone else’s half.

said with a wry smile.

“I’m afraid I’ll get in the way. Right?”

“… … .”

She didn’t answer, but that was enough.

“… … .”

“I’m sorry if it offended you.”

“No, I understand.”

this test. It won’t be the first time.

Unless he was a cadet who was quite lacking, he would have been able to raise his rank enough so far by working harder.

But if my level isn’t even that high, I won’t be able to guarantee a grade this time.

If you think about her personality, you can see how much trouble she had to come to me for this.

“But you don’t think I can use it that much?”

It’s a 3-day test, so I’m a little worried about my physical strength, but I think the rest of it will be fine.

At least I have the confidence not to hold her back.

“Then can I check it out?”

In my confident tone, Uriel asked as if he had been waiting.

Judging by the immediate response, it seemed that he had come to say this from the beginning.

“what? now?”

“Not now… .”

Checking the time, she lengthened her horse’s tail.

Lunchtime was almost over, so it’s impossible now.

“I’ll come back here after afternoon training.”

* * *

after all classes are over.

I waited for Yuriel in the empty gymnasium.

As expected, she showed up on time and like a knife.

“So what do you want to check?”

She was still in her training clothes.

“The exact details of the test have not yet been announced.”

“… yes? huh.”

We only know that the survival evaluation is a theme, and we can only find out exactly what it is on the day.

“But no matter which test you take, they all have one thing in common.”

Saying so, she handed me one of the two training wooden swords she had brought.

I thought I knew what they had in common.

“You must know how to fight.”

As the theme of the evaluation is the theme, you may be able to safely pass it without fighting.

If you’re lucky, you might end up at the top of the list.

However, it is impossible to be number one.

“I don’t ask for much.”

I don’t even want to win.

However, it is absolutely unacceptable to run away because you don’t know how to fight at all.

“ruler.”

“… … ?”

Uriel pretended to point his sword at me and said.

“I want to make sure you are a man who can fight.”

I don’t want to check my skills, but I want to see if I’m a person who can fight.

There was no point in refusing to say that.

“okay.”

He groaned and lifted himself up.

I wasn’t in very good condition after the hard training I had today.

“Of course I will consider that.”

I grabbed a light wooden sword and stood in front of her.

“I will yield to the seon-gong.”

She stood sideways, pointing the tip of her sword at me.

In addition, it was an unusual posture with one hand over his back and placed on his waist.

‘It just went well.’

I’m a little tired, but I decided to think positively. Since I got mana, I had to check it properly.

I’ve used it on guys who approached from the black market, but I couldn’t check it properly because the opponent’s level was too low.

“Whoa… .”

raised mana.

He strengthened his body by sending mana from his upper body to his fingertips and toes.

“… … .”

Uriel’s eyebrows moved once at the sight of me obviously using mana.

“… … .”

Unlike me, I didn’t see any gaps in her posture even though she wasn’t using mana.

‘If there is no gap, I have no choice but to squeeze in.’

You can’t burn mana infinitely, so you can’t just keep an eye on it.

Roaring!

The mana in the heart burned at a rapid rate. There was a blue shimmer in both eyes.

“… … !”

When Uriel takes a breath.

bang!

kicked the floor My body bounced forward as if it were being shot.

It wasn’t too much like when dealing with a probationary knight, but the mana was burning as much as it was, so the speed was much faster than before.

“… … ?!”

As if it was an unexpected momentum, Uriel looked flustered.

However, unlike the embarrassed expression, the reaction was immediate.

The knee of the leg in front naturally bent and followed the opponent’s movement, and the tip of the sword followed my sword like a magnet.

The body reacts before the head reacts.

damn!!!

A dull vibrating sound rang out.

Their swords were trembling as their tips met in perfect balance of power.

The attack was completely blocked even though it was used unilaterally, including first attack and mana.

‘I guess so.’

This was somewhat of an expected result.

Even though Uriel is young now, he is definitely a member of an S-class NPC, but it’s even more strange if he becomes an opponent in my current state.

The moment I realized that the attack was blocked, I increased the distance and lowered my stance.

It was because he thought that Yuriel would attack now that he had used the first attack he had conceded.

“… huh?”

But no matter what she saw, she stood still and did not respond.

“… … .”

“excuse me?”

The atmosphere was strange.

A strangely distorted expression.

“Roan.”

she asked in a trembling voice.

“How are you copying my sword?”

“… uh?”

Then I noticed that I was standing in exactly the same position as her.
