The Vampire Is an Academy Honor Student

Chapter 020. suspicion (3)

To the adjutant’s words, Ian answered after a while.

“… but. yes.”

I think there is no absolute in the world, but it is certain that the possibility is low.

It is not very constructive to expend one’s energy to prepare for a slim chance close to zero.

“I will finish here.”

“yes. I’ll tell you again when I get information about the person who stole the flowers.”

Now I really turned my head.

Together with the members, the sun slowly set and they returned to the gloomy capital.

“Have a good night! Captain.”

“okay. Good work.”

After a long chase operation, the members gathered in groups of two and three to find a bar.

“… … .”

Ian looked at him and shook his head.

‘okay. For now, it ends here.’

The end was unpleasant, but looking at the results, all the demons that had invaded the capital were eliminated.

“… … .”

Ian sighed and entered the office.

I thought it would be better to do something because my heart is complicated.

“hmm?”

A letter lay on the desk in the long-empty office.

Ian made a suspicious expression on the letter with the family seal.

“father?”

Ian opened the sealed letter and muttered in a surprising voice.

My father, who has a blunt personality, rarely sent letters first.

‘Has something happened to the family?’

If it was work, it was work.

Of course, it was the exact opposite of what he expected.

[Roan transferred to the Knights Faculty this year.]

“… Roan?”

In the first line of the letter, Ian thought of his younger brother for a moment.

“… … .”

In fact, I have been away from Roan for a long time.

It’s not because he doesn’t like his brother, it’s because he noticed that his existence itself has a bad effect on Roan, who has low self-esteem.

“But Roan probably didn’t have the talent of a knight.”

Not to mention his weak body, his disposition was far from that of a knight.

Does that mean that my father used his strength to help me transfer?

‘My father must have died too.’

I thought it was unexpected and tapped the desk with my fingertips, but the content of the letter that followed was the exact opposite.

Roan duly passed the test his father gave and proved himself.

“Hoo?”

Ian’s curiosity was amplified because he could tell that his father was in a good mood just by looking at the style.

‘Because to what extent?’

Doubts were soon dispelled.

On the back of the letter, it was written in cursive handwriting.

[It was a talent that was never inferior to you.]

At this, Ian’s expression froze as he read the letter with a smile on his face.

“… uh?”

It was absolutely not because he was jealous of his younger brother.

Rather, I want to congratulate him for ending his long wandering.

His expression hardened because the adjutant’s words just passed through his head.

‘If it’s a knight worse than the captain, it might be, but-.’

“… … .”

Ian’s mind was confused.

If he had transferred this year, Roan would have been evaluated this time.

‘There is no absolute in this world.’

Even though he thought ‘no way’, Ian’s intuition was strongly pointing to Roan.

“… … .”

Ian, who had been agonizing for a long time, wrote a letter to send to the academy.

His conclusion was simple.

‘I’ll have to check it myself.’

In the near future, I will go to the academy myself.

late night.

I went out to the garden with Noah.

“… … .”

She moved busily looking for a place to plant the crystal plant.

I didn’t know anything about plants, so I just watched them.

how long has it been like that

“it’s over?”

“… … .”

Noah nodded, collected soil, wrapped it around the crystal plant, and watered it.

Then he brought an umbrella and put it beside him.

-The fertilis should not be exposed to sunlight.

‘As expected of an elf.’

This is luck that I didn’t expect while bringing Noah.

“How long will it take to grow up?”

Then she immediately put on a thoughtful expression.

I folded and opened my thin fingers, pondered, then wrote on the floor.

-6 months?

If you look at the question mark, you can roughly see it as before and after.

‘It takes longer than expected.’

Six months for one flower to bloom was a bit unexpected, but still not bad.

Even if you get it right now, it’s hard to get out of the academy anyway.

I said to Noah, who was staring up at me.

“good job.”

“… … .”

When praised, their ears prick up and move.

Contrary to her consistent expression, her ears reveal her emotions transparently.

A smile broke out at that sight.

“?”

“no.”

Actually, that crystal plant might have a different owner, but I didn’t think of giving it back from the beginning.

‘There’s no way to explain why I have it.’

One thing I’m curious about is why the demons were stealing that.

If you don’t know it, it’s just a bunch of grass with a lot of mana.

‘Does anyone know how to use it?’

As far as I know, there is no such thing as a game, but with the appearance of a character called Roan, the level of difficulty has risen slightly.

It wouldn’t be strange if there were some changes along with it.

‘I’ll have to keep that in mind.’

I bought it too much so I don’t have to worry about it, so I ended up with it moderately.

After the problem with the fertiliser was resolved, it was only then that I began to think about what had happened last night.

“What did you do then?”

I’m sure I was vampiric, but I don’t know how.

It’s not the method that matters, but right now I don’t feel the desire to vamp at all.

“Should I be on the brink of death like that time?”

It was a casual remark, but it turned out to be quite a reasonable assumption.

In the first place, other than this, there was no other strong stimulus that could awaken the ability that had been lost centuries ago.

‘I have a heart attack… .’

The problem was that there was no way to verify it.

Because I have to rush to the brink of death to verify it.

And if you succeed in verifying it in the first place, it means you can kill someone around you.

“hmm.”

At first, it seems that there is no choice but to be careful.

“Good night.”

“… … .”

Roan went up to sleep, and Noah, who was left in the garden, went inside after a while.

In the room Amy had been using until yesterday, she wrote a letter to the Duke.

“… … .”

I didn’t know what to write as the first greeting for someone I didn’t even know, so I pondered for a while.

In the end, it was after 10 minutes that I wrote the first sentence.

square square.

A quiet quill rang.

how long has it been like that

After finishing the letter, Noah looked out the window.

“… … .”

A dark street.

I checked the time and lay down on the bed I shared with Amy until yesterday.

“… … .”

But maybe it’s because Amy, whom I’ve been sleeping with for days, isn’t there.

No matter how much time passed, I couldn’t fall asleep.

My eyes are wide open and my heart is pounding.

In fact, I was in this state from the moment I saw Roan.

Should I say it’s the unique body odor or energy that I’ve been doing?

Because it felt a bit more intense.

‘Good body odor.’

Roan smelled good.

I felt ashamed of his question, so I couldn’t say it in the end.

“… … .”

After staying up all night with my eyes open for a long time, when it was finally dawn.

She picked up the pillow and cautiously headed upstairs.

Awesome… .

Looking down at Roan’s sleeping face, Noah remembered Amy’s words a few days ago.

‘You are no longer a slave.’

‘Your fault is yours, not the owner’s.’

So, what if you do a good job?

‘At that time, the young master will give me a prize, right?’

Standing abruptly, she retraced her day.

He worked hard, and Roan also planted fertilized plants that he didn’t know how to grow.

‘Today, because I did well… .’

So, it’s okay to accept a small prize.

Thinking of who he was making an excuse for, Noah burrowed next to Roan, who was sleeping deeply.

Soon, the sound of the two people’s even breathing resounded quietly.

I had a dream.

It was a strange dream.

‘… … .’

I was on high, and I could see countless figures of men and monsters beneath my feet.

‘No, it’s not a monster, is it a monster?’

It’s similar to the monsters I know, but a little different.

‘… … .’

I do not know.

But what was certain was that they were all following me, to be exact, the me in my dreams.

They all held glasses of red liquid and held them up towards me.

‘… … .’

Then, the me in my dream slowly reached out my hand.

It was as if a transcendent being was wielding power.

ugh… !

All the red liquid in the glass floated up into the air and formed a red and brilliant sword shape.

I couldn’t take my eyes off the beautiful sword.

‘… for a moment. The smell of blood?’

The moment I smelled it, my eyes grew hot and a corner of my head tickled.

At that time, the humans and monsters underfoot shouted in unison.

“”great… For!””

‘uh?’

From noble mtl dot com

I couldn’t hear it because of the noise.

I instinctively alerted myself. Because I felt like I didn’t hear something important.

but.

Hwaaak!

‘… … !’

A bright light burst out.

The scenery I was seeing was quickly moving away, and my consciousness was blurred.

At the end, I remembered the name of the sword that glowed red.

A sword forged in blood and forged in moonlight.

‘Blood demon sword, lunar eclipse.’

* * *

I went to bed early so I woke up earlier than usual.

“… Mmm.”

I think I had a dream of something significant, but my memory was hazy.

“… A lunar eclipse?”

All I remember was this one word. When I thought about what it meant, I thought about it.

rustle.

“?”

I felt something warm in my arms.

When I lifted the blanket, I saw Noah’s face right in front of me.

“… Whoa!!”

The thought of the dream flew out of my head in an instant.

“… ?”

Noah, who had woken up from my commotion, blinked and met my gaze.

“!”

Then, he slowly rolls his eyes and looks at them.

The puzzled look was similar to that of a puppy breaking a potted plant.

But I didn’t have time to think about it.

“you.”

“… … .”

When I spoke in a serious tone with a serious expression, Noah’s ears went down.

But I wasn’t particularly upset. I was just really surprised.

‘You didn’t know I was sleeping next to you?’

Even now, my senses are many times better than ordinary people.

No matter how much his vigilance against Noah had faded, he could not wake up after being so close to him for several hours.

What a talent.

To the point where I can’t guess how perfectly he hid his presence.

‘If it had been an enemy, I would have died right away.’

I knew it, but when I actually experienced it, it was more than I could have imagined.

To the extent that I can understand why Ian and Yuriel were killed by Noah.

He said to Noah, who was lowering his head as if waiting for a disposition.

“good job.”

“… ?”

“There is such a thing. But why are you here? Can’t sleep at night?”

Noah nodded. He said he couldn’t sleep because he slept alone.

“Mmm.”

It’s pointless to say don’t come if you say that.

“You can keep coming if you can’t sleep.”

“!”

“Come unnoticed by me instead.”

I prefer to sleep alone because my senses are so sensitive, but as long as I don’t wake up anyway, it’s no problem.

‘Think of it as training to prepare for assassination.’

I got up.

Today is a day off, but I’m not too tired, so I’m thinking of going to the training ground.

It’s just before I even woke up.

-get out?

Seeing my busy face, Noah asked.

“uh. I want to go to the training ground.”

Then Noah wore a thick street clothes that covered his face and ears and brought a wooden sword.

As I was about to leave, a thought struck me.

“Take another wooden sword.”
