The Vampire Is an Academy Honor Student

Chapter 014. test (2)

Female knights are rare.

If it was limited to knights as talented as Yuriel, the number would be further reduced.

This is because it is difficult to overcome the difference in innate strength unless you have a fair amount of talent.

“… The same goes for sword law. There weren’t that many sword techniques I could learn.”

If you learn the same things as others, you will be pushed aside due to the difference in physical ability unless you are overwhelmed in your skills.

In the end, the conclusion she came to was that she had to find a way to use her strengths.

How to utilize a body that is lighter and more flexible than others.

For stabbing-oriented attacks, the weight was reduced by thinning the sword.

He created a walking method that reduces left and right movement, which is burdensome to the legs, and adjusts distance using minimal knee strength.

That’s how the unique posture of putting one hand on the waist was born.

A posture that only one person in the world uses.

No, there should be only one.

Because I’ve never taught anyone this.

“But how about you?”

I couldn’t believe it, but Roan’s posture resembled him as if he were looking in a mirror.

He hesitated for a moment before answering.

“Because I just saw it.”

“… yes?”

“How are you doing?”

Seeing him say it with an awkward expression as if it was nothing special made his forearms goose bumps.

That you can do the same thing just by seeing it once?

“… … .”

She came to her senses when Roan waved a wooden sword in front of her.

“… under.”

does this make sense? Her weak arm went down.

“… Let’s do it here.”

“?”

“Enough is enough.”

“Ah, yes.”

From noble mtl dot com

Uriel looked at Roan with a puzzled look behind him.

“… … .”

My head is complicated.

I was simply curious about the truth of the rumor, and I just wanted to know if he was someone who could fight… .

Didn’t I just catch a glimpse of a staggering talent?

‘Maybe more than that person… .’

* * *

A remote area away from the capital.

The hooded men were running away breathing heavily.

“Heh, heh… !”

Their hair was all black, and they harbored strong demonic energy within their bodies.

Mine.

Those who drank the blood of high-ranking monsters and escaped human limits.

They gained strength and senses that ordinary people couldn’t even dare to do, but they were clearly afraid of someone now.

“sh*t! I never heard of such monsters!”

To this, Mine, who was at the forefront, responded urgently.

“Don’t stop! … Ugh?!”

At the moment, chills and goosebumps sprouted, and moans came out at the end.

It was because of the sensation of a type of living thing passing through the body in a red line.

ping… !

Immediately after, the sound of pulling and releasing the string was faintly captured.

‘Has it already caught up here!’

An alarm bell rang in my head.

I reflexively bowed my back.

It was almost at the same time that an arrow filled with blue mana passed over him.

Pew!!

“ah… !”

A large hole was pierced in the back of the main runner ahead, and blood splattered on his face.

“… sh*t! It’s a guy!”

You can’t know even if you want to know

It’s clear to see this neat workmanship.

gritted it and shouted.

“Scatter!”

I slowly turned my head and looked behind me.

A man was aiming a bow on the roof of a building about 300 meters away.

‘… … .’

I saw him licking his lips.

I don’t know what they’re talking about because of the distance, but they’re probably counting how many they’ve killed so far.

“… XX cub. ”

A swear word came out spontaneously due to the sticky fear rising up.

Ian Karziel.

The sacred bone genius of the Karziel family who joined the Central Knights immediately after graduating from the academy.

However, after one year of being assigned, I refused to follow the solid road and transferred to the Mine Extermination Unit, which was almost like an exile for the knights in the center.

Whatever the reason, this was no different from a disaster for the demons.

Pew!!!

“Wow!?”

A blue arrow grazed the hair below the ear.

One of the demons murmured involuntarily at the unbelievable power of a mere arrow.

“… It’s not like everyone survived.”

Hello, is that a human?

Only the hair is silver, so it wouldn’t be strange to be called a demon.

“… sh*t!”

While the demons were scattered, the knights also moved to form an encirclement.

“Captain. The demons are scattered!”

“… … .”

A knight with short beating hair, who was using a tool to observe the movements of the demons, shouted to Ian.

Ian answered as he drew his bowstring and glanced down.

“It is close to downtown. We must catch them all here.”

It’s unlikely that they’ll cause a commotion because their goal is to run away, but if they’re driven to the point where they’re on the verge of death, they might do something unexpected.

“Release all remaining forces.”

“yes!”

“Cleaning up is not the goal. The first priority is to prevent them from escaping.”

“All right!”

It seems that the demons don’t know, but the encirclement and induction work has been steadily done since the beginning of the chase.

As a result, soldiers were already scattered around here.

“… Do you think you can get away with it?”

After completing his aim, Ian cracked his brain in a voice as cold as frost.

Paang!!!

The arrow left the demonstration.

The arrow that flew leaving a blue tail exploded the head of the fleeing demon.

“… … .”

How many times have you mechanically put your weight on the protest and shot it? I could feel the presence of demons around me.

The moment I realized it, the corners of Ian’s lips went up slightly.

“under.”

Since the soldiers were all over the front, it seems that he was thinking of aiming for the relatively empty side.

Of course it’s just funny.

I retracted my bow and lifted the spear behind me.

I stomped my feet lightly and came down to the roof.

A total of seven mines.

The one who looked the strongest among the dogs opened his mouth after seeing Ian step out alone.

“You bastard, are you going to deal with this number alone?”

“Do you think you can’t?”

“… … .”

Mine couldn’t refute Ian’s answer.

7 to 1.

Even so, I couldn’t stop my body from trembling with tension and fear when I thought of the number of demons that died at that hand.

Ian slowly moved towards the demons.

“If you were going to catch me.”

Woooo!!!

Mana swirled around him.

The trembling of the spearhead intensified due to the enormous condensation of energy.

The demons’ expressions turned pale.

“… Attack!!”

“Damn it!”

Conversely, Ian’s arsenic thickened.

“You guys should have brought the owner, not the small ones.”

Tung… !

Ian swung his spear.

The spear of the knight, who was only about to become a master, tore the demons to pieces mercilessly.

* * *

Pooh!!

“I’m lazy… .!”

“Whoa.”

Ian, who pulled out the spear from the devil’s heart, let out the breath he had been holding.

Butchered corpses were lined up in front of him.

Chow!

With a single swing of the spear, he brushed off the sticky demon blood.

Dark red blood soaked the ground.

“… sh*t. Why on earth did a knight like you join the Mine Extermination Squad? Cool!”

In the middle of it, one of the demons who managed to survive asked in a dejected voice.

“… I’m out of breath.”

Pooh!!

Instead of answering, Ian pierced a hole in his heart as well.

“You are still cold. He usually listens to the last words.”

“… joy.”

Ian sneered at the words of the adjutant who approached him before he knew it.

“Isn’t there anything I can ask from this side anyway?”

“what. That’s right.”

The price for gaining power is unconditional subordination to the master. Betrayal is structurally impossible.

So Ian didn’t let any of them live.

That he would not open his mouth no matter how much torture he inflicted on him. No, because I’m sure you won’t be able to open it.

“It’s coming to an end soon.”

“… … .”

Around this time, flares signaling the end of the situation were fired from everywhere.

The adjutant, who had been watching him quietly, asked.

“Why did you come here, Captain?”

“hmm?”

Ian’s steps stopped for a moment.

Is it an extension of Mine’s question?

“I am just curious.”

The adjutant scratched the back of his head as if embarrassed and continued.

“Honestly, what are you talking about? It’s not a place for high-ranking nobles to come, isn’t it? ?”

Certainly, as he said, the Mine Extermination Unit is a place where most of the knights are from commoners.

Ian answered indifferently.

“… That’s why it’s nothing.”

Because I hate demons and monsters.

And it’s because he’s tired of the hip-heavy Central Knights.

At this, it was none of his business, but the adjutant said as if he was going to die of regret.

“Well, if you can be patient… .”

“hmm?”

“Honestly, with your skills and background, isn’t success guaranteed?”

“Sounds useless.”

Ian laughed at the nonsensical joke and dismissed his words.

It was then.

puong… !

“hmm?”

A red signal flared into Ian’s eyes as he raised his head.

It means there is a problem.

“… sh*t!”

Ian’s brow furrowed.

You said things went wrong at the end of the operation?

I immediately ran to the place where the signal flare was fired.

“all! Captain!”

“… … .”

There, a knight who was blocking the retreat lay down with blood dripping from his stomach.

“I’m sorry. Cool! I missed it.”

“… You should receive treatment first.”

My head was messed up, but this was what I expected from the time I formed the unit.

Instead of joining an existing unit to have operational control, he created a new unit himself, and in the process, most of the knights could only be filled with new recruits or commoners.

In other words, it was still a process of accumulating experience, so it was rather useful that there was no problem like this until now.

after.

Ian exhaled and asked.

“How many mines did you miss?”

“It is one.”

The knight next to him immediately replied.

Ian’s expression improved.

‘It’s fortunate.’

But the knight’s words weren’t over yet.

“But… It looks like he has stuff.”

Ian’s expression darkened again. How can things get so twisted?

“Is that such a problem? You don’t even know how to use it anyway.”

“That is not the point.”

As he said, this is an item he doesn’t even know how to use.

But the problem is that it was Mine who stole it.

Doesn’t that mean that their owner, the monster, knows how to use it?

No matter where you use it, it will probably not be for a purpose that is beneficial to you.

“You won’t be able to run far.”

The chase continued for several tens of days, and a battle had just been fought.

He must have escaped in moderation and then rested somewhere.

said Ian.

“After subtracting the injured, we will continue to pursue.”

* * *

“Tomorrow is the evaluation day. Today’s training will only be conducted until the morning, so cadets prepare for the evaluation.”

“yes!”

The cadets responded to the instructor’s words.

‘Is there anything I can do to prepare?’

Anyway, the contents of the test have not been announced yet. There is no preparation that can be done other than condition management.

Well, I’m in a position where I have to work hard at least for this.

So, after morning training, I went back to the dormitory.

Squeeze… .

Noah was seen watering the garden.

Being half-elf, Noah seemed to spend most of the day in the garden.

“hi.”

“!”

Noah found me and bowed his head.

Her hair, which was dyed a light brown, swayed.

“What about Amy?”

“… … .”

Noah extends his hand and points to the front door.

“Is it inside?”

nod

When I went inside, I saw Amy writing a letter with her hair up in a ponytail.

“… … .”

Amy has been very busy lately.

I went to the church to erase Noah’s slave engraving (I didn’t know the contract was in my hand), dyed my hair, and taught me what to do.

In the meantime, it must have been more difficult because communication was not good.

But it’s over soon.

Because the day to return to the church is approaching.

Sensing my presence, Amy put down the pen and turned around.

“Ah, Bocchan.”

“Has the return date been set?”

“yes.”

Seeing Noah once in the garden, she said with a sad expression.

“I think I will return to the church on the day this exam is over.”
