The Vampire Is an Academy Honor Student

Chapter 044. trust (1)

Souvenirs on both arms.

And the fever of the festival still lingers on her reddened cheeks.

“how is it. Is it okay for once?”

At first he hesitated like that, but from the middle, after enjoying the festival, Yuriel answered with a slightly embarrassed expression.

“Iknow, right.”

“Can you take care of all that?”

“Maybe. I brought very little with me at first.”

It seemed so.

Walking side by side on a dark night street, I checked her expression.

Fortunately, the worry that had filled his face seemed to have disappeared.

“Oh right. It’s a bit late, but congratulations on winning the King of Knights match.”

“thank you.”

“Certainly there is no opponent for you.”

“… ? Did you see my match?”

I didn’t see it, but I said I saw it.

If you tell the truth, it’s hard to explain what you’ve been doing when you’re locked in your room all day.

“I didn’t see… .”

“I didn’t get a ticket because I didn’t tell you in advance. I guess that’s why I couldn’t find it because I saw it in general seats?”

Yuriel nodded as if she understood the lie that flowed out like water.

Dangerous topics were skipped quickly and I asked what I was curious about.

“How was the friendly couple?”

This is an important event to the extent that it is the purpose of participating in the competition itself.

This is because what you learn here will have a big impact on your future growth.

“Oh, right.”

“?”

But, as if my question had triggered a forgotten memory, she came to her senses and stopped in place.

“Come to think of it, I don’t know. Because it was done privately.”

“huh? Oh, yes.”

private?

It was the first time I had heard of it, but I pretended to know and nodded.

‘Is this what the swordsman requested?’

But when I wondered why he made such a request that a closed-minded Elf would make.

Yuriel replied with a startled expression.

“How did you know? The friendly match was with Lord Sigrun.”

“… ???”

“He said he asked the swordsman. That is why it was conducted in private.”

Sigrun wanted to fight against Uriel, so he asked the swordsman to change?

“why?”

Uriel’s eyes deepened as if he recalled the memory of that time.

Her explanation soon followed.

“At first they said they couldn’t tell you.”

‘I think I can tell you that after the sparring.’

Dalian started like that.

She knew there was a huge gap, but she did her best to win, as always.

After exchanging about ten sums like that, the sparring was over.

“Once, of course, I lost.”

Even exchanging ten sums was only possible because the other person was looking after him a lot, so he wasn’t particularly upset.

However, there was a feeling of wonder at Sigrun’s proposal that followed.

“He asked if I had any intention of becoming a disciple.”

“… !!!”

Instead, the condition I put forward was to stay in Elvenheim for three years.

It was a natural suggestion, since the elf’s arcane swordsmanship was not to be seen recklessly from the outside.

‘A disciple of a high elf?’

This is a really great opportunity.

Not only can she grow ridiculously, but considering that there are people who are targeting her now, she can be safe in Elvenheim.

‘… It’s so good?’

I don’t know why, but when I feel bewildered in a situation where everything is going smoothly.

“I thought about it a lot, but I turned it down.”

You refused.

… no wait?

“uh? what why!?”

When I asked back in surprise, Yuriel lost his words and fell into thought.

“that… .”

In fact, I was shaken a lot.

If you go to Elvenheim, you won’t have to worry about everything that’s bothering you right now.

Looking at it objectively without thinking about it, this is not a bad suggestion.

‘Anytime you change your mind… .’

‘… … .’

Lord Sigrun gave me room like that, perhaps noticing that I was shaking, but maybe it was because the complex inside was clear as a change of mood.

I was able to decide for sure a while ago.

With a faint smile, she answered, looking down at the souvenirs she had packed in her arms.

“Because I have a dream too.”

So I didn’t want to run away.

* * *

After finishing all the schedules, we went back to the kingdom right away.

However, the number of people was slightly different compared to when they departed.

“Professor… .”

“Some people stayed because of the upcoming conference schedule.”

“aha.”

Professor Chris was like that too.

So, the theology department had to go back among the cadets.

The day after the week-long event ended and returned to the kingdom.

A major incident occurred in the Imperial Guard.

* * *

“what?”

“There is a guy who came to me to surrender himself.”

It was later revealed that the 33 surrenders had eradicated the assassination group that had been eating away at the empire’s underworld for years.

“What is the cause?”

“It is mine.”

The killer who surrendered took his own life immediately after surrendering, so we couldn’t find out much.

“Sir John. This is it.”

“… It’s awful.”

John muttered as he looked around the surroundings filled with red light.

When we arrived at the scene of the incident, there were already numerous demons, killers, and monsters that had become cold corpses.

“hmm?”

And even bloodstains that look somewhat artificial.

Seeing the bloodstains on the stone wall in a straight line, as if drawn with a ruler, the swordsman murmured.

“… What is this?”

his eyes sank.

The walls were dug deep along the blood trail.

* * *

The 10-day itinerary, including the round-trip time, ended in an instant.

And when I came back, I was quite famous as the only cadet ever to participate in the event in the lower class.

I didn’t participate in the King of Knights, but in some ways, I think it became more famous because of it.

‘but. I didn’t believe it at first either.’

In addition, did not a special guest come to the Sword Castle at this tournament?

It is distinctly different from previous competitions in terms of topicality.

Dante, who I saw in 10 days, approached me as soon as it was time for individual training and asked.

“How was the Empire?”

“I just did.”

“I heard that there are so many people there that you could get hit by your feet.”

“That’s right.”

Could he be said to be admiration for the empire? It seemed there was such a thing.

I thought as I watched Dante explain while spitting.

‘I’ll go even if I don’t want to go later.’

It was inevitable that the region where the war was most intense was the Empire.

Maybe they don’t want to stick their feet in the empire later?

“and… . Why do you look like that?”

“When you graduate, I will definitely take you to the empire later.”

“… ! really?”

“uh. Don’t worry, I’ll take you even if you don’t like it.”

After all, Dante clenched his fists and was delighted, saying that it is good to have a friend of an aristocrat.

I looked at it with admiration.

“And the elf came too.”

“You see it every morning.”

“… That’s right.”

Dante, who had been asking this and that for a long time, soon brought up another topic, perhaps losing interest.

“really. There was a notice about this promotion test while you were gone.”

“How was it?”

“First of all, you and I will confirm the promotion test.”

In fact, there are a few tests I haven’t taken yet.

However, even if you get the lowest score in all the tests, it is said that the score you have accumulated so far is confirmed.

‘I hope the remaining one will be Fay.’

Rather than a cadet who is excellent overall but has little potential for growth, I need someone who has one overwhelming ability even though it is lacking overall.

Instructors’ judgments are not much different from this, so if there is one outstanding talent, additional points are added.

“Well, if it doesn’t work, I can’t help it.”

“huh?”

“no.”

It’s best to go up together, but even if it doesn’t work, there’s a way to make a point of contact.

“Anyway, are we confirmed?”

“uh.”

“It’s just fine.”

“?”

I needed to set aside some time next week, so I can easily skip class.

“What, are you missing class?”

“I have some places to go.”

“where?”

Dante asked with a surprised expression when I told him that I, who is usually not even late for class, was going to take a break.

“I can’t say that.”

“?”

Because I’m going to sneak

Yesterday, when I came back from all the schedules in the empire, I was able to receive a letter from Noah.

-this.

‘huh?’

-That person left it.

The person Noah was talking about was Müller.

I immediately opened the letter.

[I was ordered to investigate the cult and headed straight to the cathedral. however… .]

Security was tight, so I couldn’t check inside.

The fact that Müller, who often goes in and out of the royal warehouse, was unable to break in means that something important has happened to the Church.

It was also a big enough case that the security was so tight.

[However, we were able to find out the name of the priest who most recently entered the cathedral.]

Amy.

My former maid who returned to the church.

And from the moment he entered, he said he never came out.

There are few cases where the church maintains tight security for a specific person to such an extent.

When a trust or something equivalent thereto has occurred.

‘But the oracle won’t happen now.’

But it was too embarrassing not to check anything.

Of course, Amy was involved, and there was also an unexpected connection with priests recently.

‘… … .’

After thinking about it, the conclusion I came to was that I had to check it myself.

‘There was a secret passage in the cathedral.’

I also knew how.

* * *

Inside the quiet chapel.

Inside, there was a priest and several paladins surrounding the priest as if protecting them.

“… … .”

“… … .”

A glance.

Amy, who was quietly rolling her eyes and watching the knights, carefully raised her hand.

From noble mtl dot com

“excuse me.”

“Tell me.”

I am speechless at the overly formal treatment.

After that, he caught his breath and spoke.

“You can do it like this.”

“But it’s also an order for us.”

However, Amy couldn’t ask for anything more when the knights looked confused and blurted out their words.

In the end, it was late in the evening when she finished all her schedules when she was freed from the knights.

“… You should sleep.”

Tired of being watched all day, she lay down on the bed.

late morning.

rattle… .

“Yes… ?”

The sound of something opening woke Amy, who was a light sleeper, in the middle of the night.

Booth opened his eyes even in the middle of a drowsy dream.

And saw.

“… !!!”

“!”

Someone staring down at me from the side of the bed.

For a moment, I thought that I was strangely used to it.

Recognizing the intruder, she stands up and inhales.

just before screaming like that.

“flower… ! huh!?”

A strong hand covered his mouth.

He lost his balance in the wind, entangled with his opponent, and fell to the bottom of the bed.

Quadang!

‘Ugh!’

I panicked at the fear I felt for the first time in my life, but soon the power was gradually drained from the opponent’s hand.

“Shh, it’s me.”

“… … ?”

With only one eye open, she recognized the other and shouted in surprise.

“young master?!”

The fear disappeared as if washed away.

It’s just when you can’t understand the current situation at all and only blink your eyes.

-What are you doing?

“omg.”

The busy voices of the Paladins waiting outside could be heard as if they had noticed the commotion.

In her flustered eyes, a closet that could hide one person came into view.

“Come on, stay inside!”

“uh?”

I pushed the embarrassed Roan into it.

It was right after that that the paladins opened the door and came in.
