The Vampire Is an Academy Honor Student

Chapter 17

Episode 017. test (5)

Sensing a crisis instinctively, Dante’s head stood on end.

He bent his back with an animal feeling.

Pew!!

The sword, which was suddenly fired, pierced the place where Dante’s forehead had been a moment ago.

Amidst the fluttering light brown hair, he could see eyes widening in astonishment.

Dante hastily distanced himself.

“Huh, heh… !”

“Strength is good.”

An exclamation mixed with admiration came out.

It was astonishing to see him somehow balance himself with his legs even though his back was bent that much.

Maintaining that level of body while doing rough training means that he is naturally strong-boned.

The swordsmanship he uses is also very rough and aggressive, perfect for utilizing his excellent physical abilities.

He is on the opposite side of Yuriel, who used speed and sophistication as his weapon.

“Still, it has to be right to be meaningful.”

“… shut up.”

Dante, gasping for breath, replied with a growl.

His eyes were furiously twisted as if his pride had been hurt.

As a result, strength entered the hand holding the sword.

‘It makes me lose my mind.’

So that I can face my weak self.

Pew!!

“Ugh?!”

Dante could not come to his senses at the frantic rushing Roan.

Since he was a high-ranking aristocrat, the thought of dealing with him in moderation has long since been erased.

‘Nonsense!’

It’s not just the posture that is the same, it’s similar to the difficult distance control and the unknown pattern.

If he had covered his face, he might have mistaken it for Yuriel.

‘Is this a talent?’

Isn’t it the level of almost copying a person’s entire life?

I got goosebumps at the creepy feeling.

Doesn’t it mean that even at this moment, Roan is memorizing all of my swords?

fit… !

“Wow!?”

The sword, which I had been dodging leisurely, gradually passed close to my skin.

Roan’s sword was slowly but steadily tightening his throat.

how long has it been like that

“Cool, kuh!”

I feel stuffy as if my stomach is clogged.

My eyes go dark at the sensation of being read no matter what I do, and cold sweat runs down my back.

‘I expected my actions.’

If it wasn’t for the overwhelming physical ability, the battle would have ended in defeat a long time ago.

“sh*t.”

Being overwhelmed with a sword by an opponent who doesn’t even have calluses on their hands?

He gritted his teeth in humiliation.

At the same time, this thought raised its head.

If I hadn’t stopped training, I wondered if I would have been different from what I am now.

“… … .”

I don’t know.

Still, I don’t think it would have been as unpleasant as it is now… .

Thoughts were forcibly cut off.

Pew!!

The moment I snapped my head, the tip of Roan’s sword pierced through where my forehead had been.

Even though it’s never fast, it feels strangely fast from the point of view of what harmony it is.

Tok, tok!

Roan pushes in, gently rocking his body back and forth.

Then, at an unexpected timing, it explodes at an explosive speed and stabs the sword.

“Ugh!?”

I avoided it with animalistic senses, but the next attack was unavoidable.

Roan’s left hand, which was placed on his back and placed on his waist, aimed at the chin on this side and reached out like lightning.

An attack from the bottom up.

Took… !

“!?”

In an instant, my eyes flickered.

It was just a little bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of It’s because.

He stumbled and eventually lost his balance and fell.

‘Quickly, get up… .’

Saliva flows from my mouth as my eyes are spinning.

Said Roan, a dumbass.

“stand up. Because I still have something to show you.”

A small swearing sound came out of that relaxed statement.

However, I was also curious about that ‘will be shown’.

“Let’s finish it slowly. Am I exhausted too?”

As he said, Roan’s complexion was not good, probably because he had consumed a lot of mana.

The next two or three sums seem to be the limit.

but.

‘Can I stop that?’

I’m honestly not sure

As the battle continued, Roan’s attacks were so sharp that they reached the realm of foresight.

‘I misjudged from the beginning.’

I was the one who had to end the battle quickly.

My opponent has weak stamina, so I thought that if I took time, I would naturally gain an advantage, but he understood me deeply beyond stamina and mana consumption.

Even so, when you make up your mind that you will not be fooled.

“hmm?”

Roan’s demeanor changed.

He gripped the sword with both hands and turned his face this way.

‘what?’

Feeling familiar somewhere, I narrowed my brows and tensed my body.

I don’t know what exactly you’re trying to do.

‘Something is coming.’

It was because the appearance of raising mana as it was was as if it were preparing for the final blow.

Paang!!

Roan kicked the ground and ran.

Roan said as he leaned down and raised his sword in front of him.

“Look carefully.”

“What-.”

what are you talking about

The words that rose to the end of his throat went in the moment he saw Roan.

Because the shock that felt like being hit in the back of the head left my soul.

‘ah… .’

Roan’s waist twisted wide in his eyes, pushed to the limit.

‘My sword… .’

The near-perfect, ideal swordsman’s dream as a swordsman is over there.

‘How could my sword be so beautiful?’

The wind blew up from Roan’s sword attack, which twisted his whole body.

I wondered if my hands were empty.

A cold touch touched the nape of his neck.

“ah.”

When you’re standing there with a dumbfounded expression on your face.

Roan with a pale expression spoke with a small smile.

“Come back stronger.”

* * *

“I lost.”

I fought with all my heart, but I was overwhelmingly defeated by Confucius, who had no calluses on his hands.

Even the finish is perfect.

After being fooled around, I ended up not being able to use my skills.

A complete defeat with no room for excuses.

“hahahaha… .”

Seeing himself as a loser, a self-deprecating laugh leaked out.

Didn’t I tell you not to break even if you lose?

At first, I thought it was not even funny, but when the situation turned out to be like this, I felt like I was about to burst into tears because I couldn’t really break my heart.

“I lost all my badges… .”

rustle.

“… … .”

Dante turned his head at Yuriel, who approached quietly.

“… Are you okay?”

“No way.”

Uriel smiled bitterly.

She continued, looking up at Roan, who climbed a tree to scout.

“Of course I was shocked too.”

I’m not kidding.

I was so confused that I took a day off from my daily morning training because I felt denied throughout my life.

“Then now?”

“well. I don’t think so.”

“how… .”

How could that be?

Although he was speechless in the middle, Uriel was able to infer what Dante was trying to say.

“Come to think of it calmly, it turned out to be a surprisingly simple problem.”

“?”

“Whatever it is, my job hasn’t changed.”

Keeping the No. 1 position until graduation and becoming a knight.

Discovering Roan’s talent is just one of the wonders of the process.

It’s actually not that simple… .

Just think so.

“… … .”

Dante didn’t say anything for a long time, probably because he felt a lot about Uriel’s words.

how long has it been like that

By the time Roan came down from the tree.

Dante murmured quietly.

“I know.”

* * *

When he came down from the tree, Dante’s expression wasn’t bad.

I was relieved to see that the lump in my heart had been washed away.

“let’s go. There was no one around.”

“yes.”

I haven’t met any other Joe since I met Dante.

By the time we reached the hideout, the sun was starting to set.

Uriel asked while leaking his badge.

“Roan. How many do you have?”

“Twenty-one.”

Uriel had 10, so a total of 31.

Even though there are still 3 days left, it can be said that 1st place is definite unless it is taken away in large quantities.

“no. Just in case.”

However, Yuriel, who had to win first place, seemed to want to be sure.

“Looking at it today, I think collecting is more efficient for us.”

So today, he says, how about staying up all night looking for badges and resting during the day on the third day?

“It hides well, so it’s unlikely that the other cadets will find out.”

“Then on the night of the third day?”

“I’m thinking of staying up all night anyway since the exam is over in the morning of the next day… ah.”

Uriel reacted startled and asked me.

“Is Roan okay?”

“I wonder if it would be okay for one night.”

If you’re going around at night anyway, it’s not that hard on your stamina.

* * *

On the second night, I went to places I hadn’t been to before and found 30 of them overnight.

Unlike the first day, the moon was slightly covered, so I was able to find 4 Uriel as well.

By the time the sun came up, both were exhausted, but it didn’t matter that they’d be taking the whole day off anyway.

“Come to think of it, this is much better.”

Because when others are fighting bloody, we take a good rest.

On the 3rd day, the cadets will be frantic to steal someone else’s badge somehow to prevent the lower ranks.

“I will stand first.”

“huh.”

Taking turns sleeping with Yuriel, he rested until dusk.

The third night that we greeted like that.

Uriel asked while wrapping bandages around his fingers and ankles.

“How is your body?”

“are you okay.”

It was like changing day and night, but far from being tired, my condition was better.

Seeing that, Yuriel nodded in amazement and muttered, ‘Roan is nocturnal.’

“It looks like we’ve found almost everything around here, so let’s move to the other side.”

“The other side?”

“yes. Because of the poor terrain, there will be few other cadets.”

As such, the badge will remain intact.

We moved right to the other side.

‘Certainly the terrain is bad for movement.’

Instead, there were structures and caves that blocked the view, so it seemed like a good place to hide.

From noble mtl dot com

I think it would have been nice to make a hiding place if we started around here.

Before long, complete darkness fell.

“It’s a nodah. here.”

I immediately set out to find the badge with Uriel.

Once I started concentrating, I couldn’t even hear the sounds around me.

So I belatedly noticed that Uriel’s condition was strange.

* * *

How long has it been since you started looking for a badge? When I moved almost to the outskirts of the test site.

“Roan… .”

I suddenly came to my senses at the sound of Uriel’s breathing, and looked back at her.

“hmm?”

Her face was flushed red.

“Something strange… sleepy… .”

“huh? Huh!?”

fluff.

She suddenly complained of drowsiness and collapsed.

“Uriel?”

Startled, he ran to her.

I hear a whistling sound of breathing.

When I checked, there were no injuries, and he was just in a deep sleep.

“… what.”

It is still too early to collapse from exhaustion.

No matter how rough the terrain is, she rested like that during the day, but she doesn’t take a break from training every day, so there’s no way she will spread before me.

‘Did I inhale something wrong?’

Poisonous mushroom spores.

I do not know.

It didn’t seem like I was doing anything unusual.

“… … .”

It was time to stand in the middle of an unknown phenomenon and recall past memories.

Crisp.

“… !!!”

The sound of stepping on the grass nearby sharpened my nerves.

someone was behind

Instinctively, I noticed that this was not the sign of a cadet.

“… … .”
