The Vampire Is an Academy Honor Student

Chapter 055. treatment (2)

“long time no see.”

The princess seemed to be awake even though she purposely came late, as if she hadn’t slept.

‘Did you know I was coming?’

I thought so for a moment, but when I saw that my cheeks turned slightly red in the chilly weather, it seemed like I had just been out for a while and came to visit me.

“… … .”

“What are you here to steal today?”

Saying that, Iris laughed very naturally.

Rather than fear of strangers, it shows a sense of delight.

I was worried about what to do if misunderstandings piled up in a bad direction because I visited in conjunction with Müller’s invasion, but fortunately that doesn’t seem to be the case.

“Is there no answer today?”

I didn’t answer.

She was very good at distinguishing human voices, so I didn’t bother to hear her voice.

However, unlike last time, Iris was persistent this time, as if she was also eager.

“At that time, I was not in a good mood, so I just passed it on, but today will be different.”

“… … .”

“Asparan, the wise man, said, “The courtesy between people is…” .”

As if to hear the answer, he placed his hands on his hips and raised his chin to continue talking.

However, that questioning was blocked by a piece of paper I held out.

– Aphasia.

It is a secret excuse prepared with inspiration from Noah.

Iris, who lives confined to the palace and has a naive side, would have no choice but to trust her.

“It is unpleasant. I am a princess… . huh?”

As expected, Iris’ expression instantly became awkward.

Hands and feet hover in the air, unable to find their place.

“That, like that. i don’t know… .”

-it’s okay.

because it’s a lie

Perhaps trying to cover up her mistake, Iris cleared her throat and changed the subject.

“Anyway, why are you here today?”

– It’s a treat.

“therapy? My incurable disease?”

Iris let out a big smile.

“Your heart for the princess is commendable, but it is a waste of effort. There is no medicine that Your Highness has not given me until now, and there is no priest who has not gone through me.”

“… … .”

“Other than that, my companion, no, no. Should I learn sign language? Do you know how to sign language?”

Even though he brought up the story of treatment, he dismissed it as nonsense and did not even expect it at all.

From that appearance, I recalled the image of Roan in my memory.

Before I became possessed, Roan had no hope or desire for life at all.

The princess seemed more optimistic than that, but it was difficult to say that she liked it.

‘I’m glad I came early.’

At least now that I came out on the terrace at night, like in the original game, if I had come a year or two later, I might have been lying down all day.

-If you want, I can talk to you.

“!”

– And I’ll treat you.

“… ?”

Instead of answering, I took a vial from my pocket.

It is the only medicine in the world that can pierce the clogged veins filled with mana.

– Eat it.

“Why, what is this? no, I do not want.”

Even so, she resisted, as if she couldn’t readily drink the suspicious liquid, but considering the princess’s health, she should go to sleep soon.

So I force-fed it without wasting time.

After all, you can feel the effect through your body.

“He’s really targeting me… , Whoops!”

“?”

… What are you talking about?

It was a bit embarrassing, but once I did my job.

The crystal plant containing mana is a medicine and at the same time has the properties of a ‘elixir’, so the mana had to be circulated after taking the medicine.

Of course she can’t do it, so I have to do it.

‘… excuse me.’

He put his hand on his back, raised mana, and stimulated the crystal plant that had already flowed into his body.

Whoops.

The pure mana penetrates Iris’ clogged veins one by one.

Unlike Faye’s time when she deliberately tried to inflict pain, now she’s just slowly scratching the blockage, so it won’t make her feel bad.

“Huh?”

She could see that she felt something cool, and her eyes widened.

He looked up at me once with suspicious eyes, then relaxed and leaned on me.

“… Do it yourself.”

“… … .”

I couldn’t take my hands off it, so I just nodded.

The luck lasted about an hour, and Iris remained calm and silent, as if the changes taking place in her body were miraculous.

So after all the treatment.

“… What has changed?”

Iris, who was still half-confident, looked around her body.

Even if you feel something cool, it is still a long way from a direct effect to be revealed.

Poof!

Iris looked up at me with an expression asking what happened to this.

And even if I don’t have to tell you about it, the effect will naturally come to you over time.

so.

– I will come to see you on the same day every week.

“… !!”

Instead of letting us know in advance, we left it for later pleasure.

* * *

Treatment was successfully completed.

Originally, the treatment was expected to last for a year, but Iris’s condition was better than expected, and it seems to be over in six months, probably because of my ability to control mana, which helps with luck.

‘The timing overlaps.’

Six months from now, an oracle about kale will come down.

I wasn’t aiming for it, but the situation was good.

If you reveal that the first oracle points to me at this time, you may receive support from the kingdom level.

I sometimes forget it in the academy, but the family of Duke Carziel has that much influence.

‘So I hope nothing happens until then… .’

So far, there have been several incidents that have deviated from the planned flow, but it has never led to direct damage due to overlapping coincidences and noticing in advance.

However, at this point, Ymir, feeling impatience, may make an aggressive decision.

The fact that the demon extermination unit suddenly wiped out the monsters inside the kingdom this winter was probably the result of making a decision similar to mine and moving actively.

This is also a different part of the game.

However, I have to keep in mind that Ymir can also move more actively than I knew.

‘I have to be alert.’

when you organize your thoughts.

profit.

Hearing the door open, he looked ahead and saw Noah dressed for going out.

“Are you going out?”

“… … .”

Noah nodded.

He probably wants to go to church… .

“also?”

Didn’t you go yesterday or the day before?

Do you have a lot to talk about with Amy, or do you just want to stay away from the dorm?

Considering that elves have strong individualistic tendencies, it was understandable, but I was a bit puzzled when they did something that wasn’t the case.

‘Is it puberty?’

Well, either way, I thought it was not bad since it means that my ego is getting stronger.

Seeing that they always come back on time and serve breakfast, it doesn’t seem like it.

“Yeah, what. go.”

“… … .”

I was thinking of starting morning training again from tomorrow when school starts, but I thought it would be better to just let them do what they want to do rather than having them train for a day.

‘I’ll go several times.’

It was such a light idea.

* * *

The day after Noah’s visit, the church.

“Then I will worship and come.”

“yes. Priest.”

thud.

As soon as Amy, looking somewhat sleepy, enters the worship room, the knights meet each other’s eyes.

“Lord Russon. Did you hear yesterday?”

To the question of one of the knights who stood guard last night, the one who stood guard at a different time than him answered.

“I heard you.”

“What is going on?”

“I’ve been hearing it often these days… .”

From noble mtl dot com

The topic of their conversation was Amy’s self-talk that she had been overhearing lately overnight.

“What was it about?”

“I don’t know. It’s a very small voice… .”

It was basically soundproof, and Amy’s voice was small, like a whisper.

In addition, the knights did not bother to listen to the self-talk of the priest, who was almost imprisoned, so it could only be heard mumbling.

However, it is strange for anyone to see a normal person suddenly talking to himself every night.

In reality, he was only talking to Noah, who had visited frequently recently, but various guesses were made among the knights who did not know about it.

“Maybe I’m stressed out? No matter how priestly… .”

“no. Rather, it seems that his expression is getting brighter.”

“Then what?”

In the midst of so many speculations, Russon, who had been thinking for a long time, ah! With exclamation, I made a reasonable guess.

“Maybe we can communicate?”

“… !!”

“ah.”

Those chosen as escorts were very religious and knew that Amy had received an oracle.

Therefore, the assumption of communion with God came very plausible.

“I see, that’s why he looked so bright even when he was tired.”

From the first time Amy received the oracle, there were rumors that she should be enthroned as a saint.

However, since she was not a member of the church for a long time, and she was a low-level priest, there were many opinions that she should be withheld.

However, as of now, when he had lived in the cathedral for several months and showed no lack of faith, such talk has almost disappeared.

In the meantime, as several scenes were captured as if communicating with God through the knights, positive rumors were inevitable.

“Are the dark ages really about to end?”

“Since the saintess appeared… .”

However, this was not viewed positively by everyone.

“… A saint?”

A long time had passed without a clear central point for the church, and it was also the point at which the influence of God weakened after the connection with the demon realm 500 years ago.

* * *

It is the morning of the beginning of a new semester after a long winter vacation.

Noah, who lacked sleep, left it in the dormitory and headed to the training ground alone.

At the training ground, Yuriel and Dante came out first and were training.

By the time I arrived, Dante let go of the sword and the sparring between the two ended.

He picked up the wooden sword that had fallen at his feet and said.

“long time no see.”

“huh? Are you here now?”

“I came yesterday.”

“It’s been a while, Roan.”

The two of them seem to have met at the training ground a few times even when I wasn’t there, but it’s been a long time since I’ve been away from the academy all vacation.

We exchanged simple greetings and raised wooden swords.

“Can you still do it?”

He was asked to engage in sparring, but both Dante and Uriel refused due to physical strength.

“… health?”

“yes.”

Until now, I didn’t know about Uriel, but Dante had never brought up the topic of physical strength first.

“Come to think of it, you must be the first in the new semester. Because I joined.”

“?”

“There is always something to do in a new semester. Are the upper classes going to be particularly tough? It’s like the pride of the kids, because they’re sensitive to each grade.”

‘Isn’t it?’ I said, looking at Yuriel, and she nodded, saying yes.

I know how important it is.

But since both of them are talking without the subject, can you understand?

“So what?”

Uriel gave the answer.

“To put it simply, it is a sequence theorem.”

“uh?”

“There must be transfer students, and there are those who came up through the promotion test and those who failed. So the first evaluation is always the Dalian evaluation.”

And based on this, it is said that the entire line-up is finished.

Instructors also refer to the grades at this time to organize groups for the next exam and set the direction for individual guidance.

‘Oh, so… .’

It’s definitely sensitive.

Since only talented cadets gathered, their pride would be quite strong, and it would indirectly affect their grades in the next exam.

So when I nodded my head thinking that it was like that.

Uriel spoke plainly.

“Perhaps Roan is particularly difficult.”

“why?”

“Everyone is rushing.”

Are you rushing?

‘Is it like stepping on a freshman?’

The process of coming up was quite turbulent, so it can be enough.

But even so, it wasn’t that scary because it would be one-on-one.

“Is there anything wrong?”

So I said what I felt, but the thought stopped for a while at the words of Yuriel.

“Will there be?”

“… ?”

because.

“I’m waiting too.”
