The Vampire Is an Academy Honor Student

Chapter 019. suspicion (2)

A quiet gymnasium.

The instructor’s voice announcing the dissolution could be heard among the confused students.

“If there is a problem with the rankings, please come to me separately. Then just break up.”

He said tomorrow was the day off because it was right after one big evaluation was over, and he left.

Only then did whispering voices come from all over the silent gymnasium.

“119?”

“Didn’t you see the number wrong?”

“How can I wear Roan… .”

The cadets’ eyes mixed with astonishment turned to Uriel.

She seemed to think that it was she who made Group 1 the number one.

“Mmm.”

Knowing the truth, she felt burdened by such gazes. So, while looking at me, I patted my back.

“Let’s get out quickly.”

At this time, some of them even sent me blatantly disapproving glances.

Of course, there were only a handful of such cadets, so I just ignored them.

“It’s 97 points different from us.”

At this time, the member of the group that took second place grumbled in a depressed voice. He said that adding up the numbers up to 5th place would not be enough.

‘… Was it too much?’

There was definitely too much of a difference.

Isn’t this the highest point since the establishment of the academy, as well as the difference from second place?

‘I don’t think Ian could have done this?’

Ian’s talent as a knight is just outstanding, but he doesn’t have particularly great eyesight.

When I was about to go back thinking that continuing to beat Ian’s record would be a good goal in the future.

“Didn’t you write something?”

I turned my head without knowing what someone said.

The person who spoke to them met their eyes.

Perhaps I didn’t know I could hear it, but I could see the pupils of the other person making eye contact shaking vigorously.

I couldn’t help but let out an annoyed sigh.

‘I have to do it in moderation.’

approached and asked.

“What am I?”

“Uh, uh… ?”

“What did I do?”

The opponent who is embarrassed that he didn’t know that I would ask him outright.

When all eyes were on him, he couldn’t say anything and his face turned red.

“Tsk.”

I clicked my tongue at the sight.

It’s not that I’m suspicious of anything, it’s just that I didn’t like it.

I thought it was not worth dealing with and tried to go back at this point, but Uriel was different.

“Buren Graftin.”

She looked more angry than I did, to the point that I thought it was someone else for a moment.

“Uh, huh?”

She strode forward with a firm expression and spoke in an ice-cold voice.

“Tell me. What did I do?”

“Oh no! It’s not what you did… .”

“So you’re saying Roan did it?”

“… … .”

When she couldn’t answer the question right away, her eyebrows turned even sharper.

Then, in a soft, angry voice, he cracked his brain.

“Watch your mouth.”

“… ah.”

“If you’re going to blame it, blame your petty abilities. Not Roan.”

The atmosphere in the gymnasium rapidly cooled at the first time he had heard of Yuriel’s flat words.

To the extent that the returning instructors stopped walking and stood at a distance to watch.

From noble mtl dot com

And the cadet who became the party had a pale expression.

I, who couldn’t see it, stopped her.

“Do that.”

“but… .”

“are you okay.”

The reason I have such doubts is because I haven’t shown you anything yet.

It will just naturally disappear over time.

“Because there’s not much left to doubt like that.”

“!”

And it’s clear that kids like that will change their attitude later anyway, so there’s no need to worry about it now.

“You know.”

“… Yes.”

Only then did her eyes return to their usual roundness.

Relieved by this, I quickly got out.

* * *

“I had a lot of trouble for three days.”

I laughed awkwardly at that.

She doesn’t know it, but we actually passed the life-or-death crisis.

“Are you going right in?”

“yes.”

I also plan to stop by the dormitory.

If you go fast, you might be able to see Amy before returning to the Order.

“Then let’s go together.”

We walked in the same direction until the middle.

‘by the way.’

I looked at Yuriel with new eyes.

“… … ?”

On top of the tilting head, the image I saw earlier overlapped.

‘… It’s really scary when you’re angry.’

I muttered a little at the temperature difference, which I couldn’t believe was the same person.

“yes?”

“no.”

I learned something new that I didn’t know about the game.

* * *

I broke up with Uriel in the middle and returned to the dormitory right away.

Fortunately, I was able to meet Amy who was about to leave.

She was sitting in front of the door with her luggage piled up.

It seems that he was waiting for me.

As we approached, she raised her head with a welcome look.

“Ah, Bocchan.”

“Are you gone yet?”

“I will go right away.”

She stood up with her gym bag.

Since I was frugal from the beginning, my luggage was very small.

Before leaving, she turned around and said.

“Don’t be sick now.”

“great job. I’ll send you a letter sometime.”

She left immediately after saying that she would find out about the divine power issue when she returned to the church.

“I don’t need to… .”

I should think of a suitable excuse and send a letter before I waste my time.

When I went inside, I saw Noah in the garden as always.

I heard from Amy that during the three days I was gone, she told Noah most of what she was doing.

He said he had a good head and learned quickly.

“What are you doing?”

Noah raised his head.

The moment our eyes met, she opened her eyes wide and stood up.

“!”

“?”

When you don’t know the reason and stand there in the dark. Noah came closer and sniffed.

sniff sniff.

Then, as if something was strange, he gathered his brows together.

‘It smells bad though?’

Well, it’s understandable, since I haven’t washed properly in three days other than washing in a stream.

dory dory.

“No?”

“… … .”

Noah, who had been pondering alone without answering, turned his back to me and wrote on the floor.

I secretly peeked at it from behind.

“good… ?”

“… … !”

It was covered by Noah’s head, so he couldn’t see much.

And the contents behind it were unknown because Noah, who was startled, hurriedly erased all the writing.

“why. What.”

Even if you ask me to tell you, it seems that you should never shake your head.

So after asking a few times, I stopped.

“Give me some water.”

Even if it’s not the smell, I can’t do it because I feel uncomfortable.

I immediately washed my body and came out.

“Oh.”

As he brushed his hair, he saw Noah playing with the case he got from Mine.

I said I’d go back and check it, but I completely forgot about it.

“Give me.”

I was thinking of just destroying it, but I was worried that there would be a problem with the contents inside, so I twisted the wire to unlock it, even if it took a long time.

Click!

At the sound of the lock unlocking, Noah, who had lost interest in what I was doing a long time ago, comes closer.

opened the case

And when I checked what was inside, I realized why Mine was running away.

“A fertilized plant?”

A flower that exudes strong mana.

A crystal candle that shimmered like a jewel was in the case.

This is a treasure that I have only gotten three times by chance while playing the game.

It is the only medicine among friendly NPCs that can cure the sore throat of a wizard who has reached the 7th level.

‘Getting this now.’

Unknowingly, the corner of my mouth went up.

Originally, even if there is a treatment drug, it takes a long time to treat the original aneurysm.

Because of this, most of the cases could not be used even if they obtained fertilization plants belatedly.

More often than not, the game ended before the wizard’s treatment was over.

But if you got it this early, it’s a different story.

“The question is how to make this flower bloom… .”

He patted his chin and muttered.

To be used medicinally, the flower buds must fully bloom.

The problem is that at the time I got it, it was always fully budded, so I don’t know how to grow it.

‘What do we do?’

It was time to think about how.

Noah silently tugged at the hem of my clothes.

“huh?”

-Are you going to plant it in the garden?

Her eyes were on the crystal plants that shimmered in the light.

-I can grow that.

“… !!”

* * *

“I found traces of what is believed to be the escaped Mine.”

Upon hearing the report from his subordinate, Ian immediately stood up.

“Where are you?”

I thought I would be able to catch it soon, but he was not easily caught by the guy who had a good idea on the run.

In the meantime, there are traces that have been discovered.

“I am on the hillside. It seems that they were trying to cross the border by riding the Goul Mountains.”

“Tsk.”

The Goul Mountains get tougher the closer you get to the border, and monsters occasionally appear.

“I’ll chase you right away.”

“yes!”

Demons cannot be attacked by monsters weaker than themselves.

In other words, as you run away to a place where many monsters appear, the survival probability of demons increases exponentially.

‘Catch it here!’

Ian moved frantically.

However, the report that the dead body of the devil has been found soon comes in.

“dead body?”

“yes. It was buried in a secret place.”

“… buried?”

It meant that he was killed by a third person, not death from wounds.

Once we headed to the place where the body was buried.

After checking the body, Ian frowned and asked the adjutant.

“Why is this like this?”

“I don’t know either. It has been in this condition since I first discovered it.”

“… … .”

How can people die like this?

Mine’s condition was not normal enough to make me more curious about who killed him.

It looks as if all the energy and blood have been sucked and shrunk.

However, only the face was in a state of postmortem rigidity with a grotesquely smiling expression.

“… … .”

While looking at him blankly, the adjutant, who had goosebumps at Mine’s expression, gently stroked his shoulder and said,

“Ugh, isn’t that just like a drug addict?”

“A drug addict?”

“yes. I’ve caught them a few times before I came here, and they usually look like that.”

“Hmm… .”

Thoughtful, Ian shook his head.

Mine is dead and the flower he had is gone.

So far, it seems that the 3rd force that was aiming for the flower killed the demon and escaped.

“For now, embalm the corpse and keep it at headquarters.”

“yes.”

“Whoa… .”

Ian sighed at the feeling that things were getting more and more complicated even though he had caught the magic.

“Go back.”

“yes.”

As he turned his head for Cheol-su, he noticed something in Ian’s eyes.

“hmm?”

A small piece of wood painted dark green and brown.

I looked closely at the unique shape, and then let out a small exclamation.

“… Ah, was that test about this?”

Fortunately, it seems that the accident did not happen because the location where Mine was hiding was not suitable for cadets to go to.

“It’s fortunate. … no.”

A thought flashed through Ian’s mind.

‘no way?’

I wondered if it was the cadet who caught the devil.

“… … .”

“Captain?”

Ian, who was contemplating between the third force that appeared out of nowhere and the possibility of being a cadet, asked his adjutant.

“aide.”

“yes.”

“If I had met that demon when I was a freshman, do you think I would have been able to catch it?”

Then the adjutant replied with a smile as if it was absurd.

“no way. Wouldn’t that be too much for the captain?”

“is it?”

“No matter how weak, a demon is a demon. How do cadets catch it?”

He was a weak guy for a horse, so I asked him, but the adjutant’s answer was firm.

“If it’s a knight worse than the captain, that might be the case, but… .”

He paused for a moment, then continued talking, trembling as if it were funny even thinking about it.

“Where in the world is there such a person?”
