The Vampire Is an Academy Honor Student

Chapter 034. to empire (1)

It was exam period, so the library was really crowded.

Nobles, commoners, and a dense crowd of cadets.

“This is the same as the world in the game.”

Recalling the memory of my college life, I went out looking for an empty seat with a bitter smile.

There was an empty seat by the window.

I took my seat and started studying right away.

First thing to do is history.

‘Fortunately, there are many things I know.’

In the process of memorizing the game settings, I was able to know the big historical events, so there were many overlapping parts.

A few hours to focus on that.

Turning over the last page of the textbook, he let out a weary sigh.

“If it’s later, I’ll wait.”

I looked outside as it was starting to get dark, then took a borrowed book and went back to the dormitory.

Elves and Dark Elves.

The two races look similar at first glance, but their personalities are vastly different.

They differentiated from the same species, but as time passes, they diverge so sharply that they can be regarded as completely different species.

So, in 982, with the consent of Elvenheim, the Church defined Dark Elves as a monster species and included them in the unconditional subjugation target.

Since the frequent damage caused by Dark Elves had already occurred, there was no backlash.

But when the two are mixed.

In other words, a problem arose in the case of mixed-race elves.

‘Should I see them as demons?’

Although it is a case that is rarely found, since they diverged from the same species, it was theoretically possible for mixed blood to occur between elves and dark elves.

Harmony and balance, the tendencies of elves, do not match the chaos, the tendencies of dark elves, no matter how you look at it.

This is not the kind of thing you can solve on your own, apart from your innate personality.

The problem arose here.

Due to the conflict between the two conflicting tendencies, their psychological and emotional states are bound to be very unstable, which has caused various problems for them.

Because 983.

The church adhered to unconditional subjugation even against mixed-race elves with demon blood.

987 years.

This order was withdrawn due to the strong objection of Saint Shine Trisha.

The reason was that it was inhumane.

The saintess believed that she could enlighten them sufficiently.

She set out to find a way and after a lot of trial and error, she found her own solution.

A way to stabilize the mixed-race elves’ unstable emotional state.

that’s right… .

profit.

“… Noah?”

I closed the book at the sound of the door opening.

Looking back, as expected, Noah wearing an apron was looking this way through the crack in the slightly open door.

– I called several times, but there was no answer.

“… did you?”

I guess I didn’t notice because I was focused on something else.

Noah looked inside and asked.

-What are you doing?

“I was reading a book.”

Shuk.

I continued talking, covering the book with my body, in case I could see the title.

“I’ll go right away. Go down first.”

“… … .”

Noah nods and goes down the stairs.

“phew.”

Noah is sometimes startled by the lack of presence.

It wasn’t until I saw that she was completely downstairs that I turned my attention back to the book.

While researching about mixed race monsters, I found only one related book in the library.

I read the last part right away because I was cut off at an important part.

… It’s about finding a spiritual support.

More precisely, finding someone to share the mental load with.

“… Uhm?”

This process is called imprinting.

Although the process is difficult, it is possible if you have succeeded in building a trusting relationship with an elf once.

The elf’s anxiety stemmed from his own unstable psychological state.

Find stability by ‘passing on’ all the destructive impulses that occur from time to time to the target of imprinting.

In other words, it can be seen as a mental parasitism at first glance.

“Oh, so… .”

Only then did I realize why Noah didn’t mind when he was surrounded by demons.

“It was because of me.”

He said he was somehow strangely calm, but he was leaving all his anxiety on me.

“I’m glad.”

I found out the reason, but I thought it was fortunate rather than unpleasant.

It doesn’t matter if it’s a parasite or whatever.

At least if I’m fine, doesn’t that mean there won’t be any problems over there?

I closed the book and went downstairs.

Noah, who had already finished the table, was sitting in front of the table with his chin resting on his chin and his legs swaying.

“… … .”

“?”

It was a comfortable atmosphere that only the two of us could show.

On the outside, he’s on edge, so he never stays that insensitive.

“I will eat well.”

We ate warm rice and made a promise.

From now on, I will never let the monster’s true nature awaken.

As a result of studying for three days, skipping morning training, I was able to finish all my studies by the day before the exam.

“Oh, I’m screwed… ”

This is what Dante said as soon as he came out of the final exam.

In the middle of the exam, I glanced at it and it seemed like there was more white space.

‘Tsk.’

In order to advance to the upper class, a certain level of written grade is required.

‘I have to study later.’

When he is making a terrifying plan to show Dante the hot taste of injection education.

“Oh, Roan.”

Dante, who noticed this, approached waving his hand with a happy expression.

Then he asks with an expectant expression.

“Did you do well on the test?”

Rumors have already spread about my activities before the transfer.

I laughed inwardly as I recalled Roan’s performance at that time.

“?”

It seemed like he was looking for someone to grieve with, but this time the other person was bad.

“Nice to see.”

“… That’s a lie.”

I gave a leisurely smile to Dante, who was looking at me with an expression of disbelief.

“sh*t. The look on your face makes it look real.”

After scratching the back of his head, he makes an excuse, saying that it was because he was busy with his job and did not study when he was young.

But even the seeds won’t work.

“I didn’t study either.”

“…….”

Dante, who was rolling his eyes, noticeably changes the subject.

“… Oh, by the way, will you come back tomorrow morning?”

“I have to go. Because the exam is over now. no. Would you like to go now?”

“now?”

“uh.”

On the day of the exam, the Faculty of Engineers, which only takes exams in the afternoon for other cadets, also has a break from morning training.

From noble mtl dot com

Thanks to you, my stamina is in good condition. Dante nodded happily.

“okay. Maybe he will too.”

As expected by Dante, he was able to find Uriel the moment he arrived at the training ground.

“Roan?”

Yuriel, whom I hadn’t seen in a while, opened her eyes wide and looked at me.

Then, without even saying hello, he asked as if he had been waiting.

“Do you want to start right away?”

“huh? Oh yeah.”

Judging by the way his hand turned to the wooden sword before he even answered, it seemed that he had been waiting for a fight.

“… … .”

I was curious about the look, so I asked.

“Is sparring with me helpful?”

Yuriel, who was fixing her hair, stopped her busy hands and asked again.

“What do you mean?”

“It is literally. I only use your skills when sparring with you.”

From Uriel’s point of view, he is dealing with an enemy he will never encounter in his entire life.

‘Does this help?’

To be honest, I had such a question, but Uriel’s answer was very clear.

“Of course it helps.”

“okay?”

“yes. You can look back on yourself through it.”

It is said that sparring with me makes me aware of minor mistakes or habits that I did not notice even after reviewing dozens of hundreds of times.

“This is something that other instructors cannot do.”

“ah… .”

I could understand right away.

Well, considering Uriel’s talent in the first place, it might be more important to look back at yourself than halfway teaching.

“So don’t think strangely and come up quickly.”

“… okay.”

I took a deep breath and raised my concentration.

Slowly the noise around me disappeared and my inner self calmed down.

“… … .”

“hmm?”

I saw Uriel, who was aiming his sword at me, suddenly glanced at me with a sharp gaze.

Looks like he noticed something.

What she felt was probably my presence, which had risen to a different level during the awakening process.

‘But how did you know this?’

Even though they had just stood facing each other and hadn’t done anything yet, they secretly exclaimed in admiration for seeing through the opponent.

It is probably because this ability was supported that the person-to-person battle was strong.

“Goes.”

He gripped his sword tightly and raised his mana.

So far, the match record against Uriel is 1 win and 17 losses in 18 matches.

Even that first win was the day Yuriel caught a cold, so in reality it was still a total loss.

‘still.’

Took!

He lightly kicked the ground.

Watching Yuriel bend her knees and prepare for the attack, she quietly raised her mana.

‘Today wins.’

Soon, the ends of the two thin wooden swords touched each other.

* * *

Dealing with Hwaran, I passed the brink of death, and in the process I read the memories of my ancestors and regained some of my lost abilities.

Most of them were abilities that were revealed only when the sun went down, but there were some that were not.

Mana control ability.

It naturally improved because the dominance of energy itself increased.

That’s why I thought there was a chance even if the opponent was Uriel.

Sweet Love!!

“Ugh!?”

A sharp sword strike from a blind spot blew my wooden sword high into the sky.

Soon, the opponent’s wooden sword, heated by the heat of friction, touched the nape of his neck.

Slightly lowering her gaze, she looked at her empty hand, then licked her lips in regret.

“I lost.”

“Good job.”

He tried to use his flexible mana control ability to attack unexpectedly, but the opponent’s reaction speed was overwhelming.

‘Isn’t he not human too?’

Thanks to this, I was able to see that the abilities of S-class NPCs were beyond imagination.

“It’s a total loss before 19. ok.”

I don’t know if I should be sad because I lost, or if I should be happy that the person who will later become my teammate is so strong.

“Isn’t there one win?”

“No, I can’t say I won it.”

She smiled faintly, wiping the sweat off the nape of her neck with a towel.

“Can’t you see that the knight lost because he couldn’t manage himself?”

“Aren’t you a knight yet?”

She tried to give me a win, but I refused.

Instead, he said to Dante, who was staring at him blankly.

“You come up quickly.”

“… !”

I felt like I needed a boost of confidence.

* * *

The test results were released on a poster the day after the test was over.

He poked his head through the crowd of cadets and checked his grades.

1. Julius Moa.

2. Aria.

3. Uriel Flandre.

… … .

… … .

… … .

11. Roan Karziel.

History and Theology, which I chose as an elective, had a perfect score, but the rest of the subjects.

In the subjects that require subjective answers, the scores were slightly reduced, and the rank was unfortunately in double digits.

“Write. I can’t help it.”

You can do well on the test only if you take classes like that.

Of course, I did well in the class, but I couldn’t do anything about the part that Roan had taken before Bing.

Still, that score was not far from my expectations, so I went to training in the afternoon in a good mood.

The unexpected happened towards the end of class.

“Are there any Roan cadets here?”

“… ??”

The professor in charge of the theology class came to see me.
