The Vampire Is an Academy Honor Student

Chapter 056. teaching (1)

For a moment I thought I had heard it wrong.

I mean, you were trying to discipline me?

‘why?’

Why?

No, I didn’t get caught in the first place, so this wasn’t really a crime.

So when I looked at her with an incomprehensible expression, she replied.

“I’ve been thinking this since the first survival assessment together.”

“?”

“He said that someday, he might fight with me for the first place in the grade. I thought it would take at least 2 years… .”

It did, but it seems that that time came a little sooner than expected.

My head went blank for a moment.

Because I understood the hidden meaning of those words.

So from now on, he was eager to compete for first place with me.

‘already?’

As I looked at her with a puzzled expression, she continued speaking in a quiet voice.

“Personally, I hope it goes well. There are family ties, and it was nice to see him change after overcoming the pain of the past. But, I’ve said it before.”

“… … .”

The subject was missing, but I could see what she was talking about.

It must have been the day we toured the festival together in the empire.

When asked why he rejected Sigrun’s offer to become a disciple, Uriel replied:

‘Because I have a dream too.’

A dream so precious that one would refuse an offer that would never happen again in one’s lifetime.

And in achieving that dream, I have now become the object to be most wary of.

“… under.”

Laughter flowed out.

Since I was recognized by an S-class NPC, should I be happy or should I hate it?

At that time, Yuriel, who heard my sigh, added a word.

“There is no selfishness.”

“know.”

Because the division of construction is of a strict nature.

‘after… .’

okay. I fully understand why.

However, I was not without reason to be desperate.

Just like I thought when I took the promotion test before, that level of grades was needed to convince me that I was the main character of the oracle.

Personally, I don’t mind losing too much.

“It’s time for me to win once.”

Except for one win when I was sick, I’ve never won.

However, as the number of couplets gradually piled up, I started to get used to it, and I thought that there was plenty of potential now that my basic physical abilities and mana had grown.

And the sparring with Uriel came not far.

The 4th day after the advanced class Dalian evaluation begins.

Both Yuriel and I were in the midst of continuing our winning streak with 9 victories.

“Let me pull it out.”

“yes.”

At the instructor’s call, Yuriel, who was ranked first in the previous year’s grade, stepped forward and drew lots.

“… … .”

“… … .”

“… … .”

Maybe it’s because she’s deciding who to fight for her first match today.

The gymnasium was quiet enough to make the sound of paper creaking.

moment of tension.

Uriel cast lots.

And the moment she confirmed the lot, she faintly smiled.

“Yes.”

“?”

Her smile, which is not easy to see, makes the cadets as well as the instructors look puzzled.

But, very rarely, I sensed my fate at the corner of her lips as she raised her head and asserted herself.

“Hey.”

I wanted to see a few more games if we met, but I was selected earlier than I thought.

As expected, Uriel said.

“Come up. Roan.”

* * *

The evaluation of Roan and Yuriel’s sparring started right after the rest of the crew was decided.

As soon as the match started, exclamations of admiration could be heard from everywhere.

“Wow, really… .”

“Except for the body shape, they are the same?”

It was because the postures of the two were perfectly the same as if they were looking in a mirror.

It was already famous that Roan steals the opponent’s skills, so I heard it through rumors, and I showed it once in a sparring with Ian.

Still, it was an amazing sight every time I saw it.

“It won’t be an earthquake though, will it?”

“of course.”

However, no cadets were seriously predicting Yuriel’s defeat.

Rather, it was expected that as most of them use the same technology, they could show an overwhelming gap.

This was the same with the thoughts of several instructors who had been watching Yuriel since middle school.

but.

The eyes of several instructors who caught Uriel’s subtle change widened in astonishment.

‘Are you nervous?’

The cadet’s fingertips, who never lost their composure no matter who they were dealing with, and who had once suspected that they were dolls rather than people, were trembling slightly.

Yuriel, who I’ve seen for years, has a ‘very special sense’ that can accurately gauge the opponent’s level.

The reason why she reacted that way was probably because she felt really threatened by Roan.

‘Is there something?’

So when you think about it.

“Dalian begins.”

The first sparring began in everyone’s interest.

And the beginning of Dalian, which began like that, broke everyone’s expectations and flowed tight.

No, as most predicted Uriel’s overwhelming victory, this was Roan’s overwhelming struggle.

“Huh!”

“… !”

Breathe in between breaths, exchanging sharp attacks.

However, each other’s swords are so fast that you can’t even see them.

Squeak! Queek!

Pew!!

Despite exchanging dozens of sums, only the sound of each other’s shoes rubbing and the wind cutting echoed in the wide gymnasium.

“… ah.”

Someone let out a suppressed exclamation at the high level of sparring that far exceeded expectations.

And this represented everyone’s feelings.

It was because they were basically high-level upper class cadets, and they noticed the numerous number fights hidden in the quiet sparring.

f*ck!

When the two swords met for the first time after a while, Uriel spoke first.

“Roan changes every time I see him.”

“Thanks to.”

“… … .”

She scanned Roan’s body with her sunken eyes.

A posture resembling a mirror.

‘… really.’

To be able to steal an opponent’s skill just by looking at it.

Really, the more I look at it, the more astonishing and enviable it is.

However, during the sparring, I realized one thing.

From noble mtl dot com

“I was pretty wary at first, but now I don’t think I’m going to lose.”

“huh?”

Instead of answering, lower your stance.

After aiming the sword, he spoke in a confident voice.

“I might be able to copy the movements.”

contents in it.

“The senses that have been polished cannot be copied. never.”

There are things that can only be achieved through bone-crushing self-management and hard work.

This was a belief that ran through her life, but Roan denied it outright.

“… You have to do it to find out.”

Isn’t there something Ian always says like a habit? ‘There is absolutely nothing in this world’, he said.

“What can’t you do?”

“… I will let you know.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Uriel explosively raised his mana as if to say that the search was over.

Dalian, which had been static, changed dramatically from this point on.

conclusion.

There was something I couldn’t do.

In the beginning, it seemed like he was struggling, but he couldn’t be defeated when Yuriel started to mix things up in earnest.

‘I can’t do that either.’

In fact, this is somewhat of an expected result.

It’s true that I’ve grown in many ways lately, but that’s because it’s all at night.

At sunrise, I am just a human being who is stronger than others and has more developed senses.

Of course, in the original world, even this level of athletes had no rivals, but it’s a different story here.

This is because there are many excellent means to replace the lack of basic abilities such as mana, magic, and power.

Even though I had awakened to my ego as a vampire right away, I was no match for Ian, Uriel, and Noah during the day.

“I suffered.”

“huh.”

As soon as the sparring was over, he thought as he looked at Yuriel, who relaxed his expression as usual and reached out to help him up.

‘First of all, the first place has passed.’

I don’t know if Yuriel slips in the rest of the evaluation, but it became impossible on her own.

It’s unfortunate, but I think I need to get rid of it quickly and focus on the remaining evaluations.

Still, thanks to that, I realized the problem I was facing, so should I say it’s rather fortunate.

I realized that this is not enough.

Then you have to learn

‘It’s fortunate.’

Luckily, I know a lot of talented people who can teach me.

‘I’m not a living person… .’

straight ancestors.

Although they died a long time ago, only their memories are passed down intact to future generations and remain asleep in my head.

I remembered the one who was the bloodiest among the dogs and lived a life close to that of a swordsman.

Kyla.

He had a cruel temper enough to enjoy a duel to the death and spend most of his life on the battlefield.

On the contrary, it is said that his swordsmanship was the pinnacle of beauty.

The nickname he got because of that.

‘I’ll borrow some memories, Ancestor.’

It was the Sword Emperor.

* * *

two days later. The Dalian evaluation ended after filling 15 jeon each.

I won 14 victories, except for one loss against Uriel.

‘… It’s really a shame.’

The upper class is in the second year, and although the number of seats has decreased a bit, there are more than 50 students.

So, even if I had good matching luck, I could have passed without meeting you, but it became a little regretful.

Of course, it’s only lower than the ideal, but it’s true that even this level is overwhelming.

It was to the extent that Dante, who had heard what had happened from Uriel, said this when the morning training, which was temporarily suspended during the sparring evaluation, began.

“Wow, he did a really good job getting two promotions. If we were in the middle class together, how many would have dropped out?”

“Why?”

“huh? I feel deprived.”

Startle!

Uriel seems to have taken it as a joke, but I was startled as if I was shaking my feet when I almost let Fay go.

After that, I asked indirectly.

“hey. Is the kid who climbed with you doing well?”

“hmm… . than you think? In fact, I thought I would lose almost all of the Dalian evaluations, but yes, I won five times.”

Fortunately, watching her during vacation helped her, so she seems to be doing well.

“But why is he?”

“Go with me. Each has different pros and cons, which will help.”

If you look at each of them, it’s not perfect, but if you think about it together, the combination is pretty good.

“Okay. He was the only one I knew anyway.”

Dante nodded.

“Let’s clean up and go, now.”

“Ugh.”

* * *

After the Dalian evaluation, a few days later.

After the instructors finished grasping the overall level of the cadets, the next evaluation began.

“there. The three in the front row follow the instructor.”

“yes.”

Uriel noticed the subject of this evaluation when he saw a few strong students being taken away.

“It’s a monster.”

In the first year, the theory and sparring-oriented evaluation was the mainstream, but from the second year, mock battles with real monsters are also held.

As expected, the instructor brought a huge cage containing monsters.

I couldn’t see very well inside.

“Krrr… .”

Some of the cadets startled and backed away at the low cry that aroused primal fear.

“It’s a troll.”

Troll.

As a type of monster, it is a race that is superior to Orcs in terms of strength, resilience, and average intelligence in many respects.

“Starting today, we will divide into groups of 5 and conduct an evaluation against trolls.”

“… !”

He’s a bit small, but he’s still making the cadets deal with such a dangerous guy?

“As long as the cadets follow the instructor’s control well, there will be no problem. Because we have secured the minimum safety.”

With that said, taking a closer look at the trolls, I could definitely find something different from normal trolls.

‘I changed everything.’

Fingernails, toenails, and protruding fangs are all bluntly ground.

There was a periodic administration of narcotic drugs, and his eyes were also blurry.

The troll, which was even called a wise monster with its unique high intelligence, was turned into a punching bag for training cadets.

‘Good.’

I was planning to learn swordsmanship from Sir Kayla from today.

I just had a good test bed.
