The Vampire Is an Academy Honor Student

Chapter 062. ignition (4)

In fact, requesting sparring with the duke was a bit accidental.

I’m sorry to the duke, but it was hard to see him projecting his weakness onto his daughter.

So, by defeating him, I wanted to show, at least indirectly, that Yuriel, who had beaten me, was by no means a weak person.

Of course, looking at it objectively, the chances of me defeating him were extremely low.

I couldn’t feel the genius of Yuriel or Noah in his sword, but the experience and training he had accumulated beyond that was overwhelming.

However, I thought there was a chance in the first Dalian without any information about me.

‘It only takes once.’

Kayla’s sword that was stolen a while ago.

If you can replay it just once, that’s enough.

“… … .”

The background color was black and white, showing how much concentration had increased.

Even the tiny fluff on the clothes can be seen vividly moving.

He said, explosively raising the mana he had been saving for this time.

“I will go.”

immediately after speaking.

Before hearing the duke’s answer, he closed his ears.

And slowly bend your knees.

‘after… .’

Kayla was strong, and at the same time arrogant.

He did not look up to the king and did not respect his duel opponents.

The only thing that kept him alive was the joy of battle and slaughter.

However, unlike his personality, his sword was very beautiful and efficient.

Even the knights who hated him could not turn a blind eye to his sword and made every effort to steal it.

This is just a small part of that sword.

‘… … .’

I watched the duke, and in my head I replayed Kayla’s movements.

how did he move?

At the same time as I thought, I was already moving.

‘For sure… .’

Slowly straighten your knees.

However, this was not a simple movement.

the moment the knee is extended.

Kwak!!

Starting from the toes, leading to the calves, thighs, and waist.

All connected muscles pushed and pulled in chain, creating explosive speed.

‘… like this.’

Pew!!

There was a roar in my ears.

The landscape moves away at a rapid pace, and the figure of the peacock approaches.

For a simple jump, Kayla didn’t hesitate to use every muscle in her body.

Thanks to this, he gained explosive acceleration, but the price was also formidable.

Pop! Dduduk!

The sound of muscle fiber strands breaking at the enormous load placed on the body rang in my ears.

‘surely. There must have been nothing to teach.’

If a normal person did this, the body wouldn’t be left.

It is truly a swordsmanship that suits ‘us’.

Because I was born with a strong body and a phenomenal recovery speed.

Now, it doesn’t matter how many muscle fibers are broken.

‘… I didn’t want to get used to this.’

While complaining inwardly, her body moved steadily following Kayla’s figure.

The moment I arrived in front of the duke in such an instant.

fast!

He gritted his teeth and twisted his back, pushing and pulling the muscles of his entire body.

The sword imbued with blue mana swung from left to right like an arrow.

“… !!”

Although the duke reacted.

It only reacted, but did not show any countermeasures to offset the attack.

jjoong!!!

His sword, which was filled with thick mana, was shattered.

* * *

“Whoa, whoa.”

launch the final attack.

I breathed heavily as I lay face down on the floor.

It wasn’t polite in front of the opponent, but I couldn’t help it because my whole body really hurt.

In the process of holding on, many bruises had accumulated on his body, and they had been completely aggravated by the blow he had just suffered.

On the other hand, the duke’s hand was a bit empty because I aimed only at the sword neatly, but there was nothing wrong with his body.

He stared blankly at the broken sword for a moment, then looked down at me who was groaning on the floor.

Soon, he came to his senses and said.

“What is this… . No, are you all right?”

“it’s okay. maybe.”

However, a bloody cough came out immediately.

Cool!

‘Did you hurt your stomach?’

I just ‘looked hurt.’ It was a sense of degree, but the duke was surprised to see that.

“Isn’t it okay!”

“It doesn’t hurt that much.”

“Even a priest… .”

“Uh, that, that’s really good.”

I vehemently stopped the Duke from calling the priest.

It’s really fine, so there’s no need for that.

“I’m not hurt as much as I look.”

“… Hmm.”

It looked suspicious, but in reality my complexion quickly improved, so I didn’t call the priest.

After a brief lull, I told him.

“Is it true that I won the duel?”

“… It happened like this. You can’t even say no.”

He looked down at the broken sword for a moment before asking.

“What was it? The last attack.”

“It’s nothing.”

“hmm? No way. I’ve seen many of Karziel’s knights, but this is the first time I’ve ever done such a swordsmanship.”

He seems to have thought that the technique I used was a kind of my family’s arcane swordsmanship, but in fact it’s really no big deal.

He replied with a sullen expression.

“uh… . It’s just a horizontal cut.”

“… ???”

“Yes.”

It’s true.

I haven’t stolen anything from Kayla’s sword yet other than a crosscut.

The power is strong because it cuts ‘extremely fast’.

“… big. Anyway, I have something to tell you.”

In a slightly awkward atmosphere.

I coughed and said the main point.

“I have no experience defeating a young lady with a sword.”

“… … .”

“Your young lady shines only when she raises her sword.”

To my sincere words, the duke had a complicated look on his face, but he didn’t reply.

I looked at it for a while and then continued.

“Reject the dropout, and please finish the marriage discussion at the level of engagement.”

“engagement?”

“yes. I want to leave the decision about marriage to the young lady after she graduates from the academy.”

The duke nodded quietly.

There was a bit of bitterness on his face, but he seemed to have no intention of objecting.

And then there is no need to lie.

“Your Excellency the Duke. actually… .”

From noble mtl dot com

“hmm?”

So I told the truth.

Thinking that the duke would not give up his will until the end, he and Yuriel wrote a separate agreement to break the engagement.

“sorry.”

“… No, that doesn’t matter. Because I understand why but… .”

Fortunately, he wasn’t too unpleasant.

However, he asked in a very arrogant manner.

“Why are you doing this?”

“… yes? That’s right, young lady.”

“No, it’s you. Wasn’t it enough for a daughter? I’m not saying this as a father, but looking at it objectively… .”

I think I misunderstood something, so I replied with a wave of my hand.

“It’s not that kind of problem.”

“Hmm?”

Didn’t Uriel say something like this before?

He said he didn’t want others to see him as a woman rather than a knight.

This is understandable considering her personality and her life so far.

So just adjust to that.

“It will be comfortable this way for both of us.”

“… … .”

However, the duke, who pondered the words for a moment, suddenly burst into laughter.

“hahahaha!!!”

“dismissal?”

“I thought you were a smart friend, but you weren’t at all! Couldn’t that kid have thought of that?”

“Did you accept my offer?”

“That’s right, isn’t it natural for that child’s pride?”

“… ??”

The duke laughed and thought.

Judging from what he said, it seems that the agreement went smoothly.

But, was that really the result of a consensus?

‘No way.’

It wasn’t what he saw.

It’s just that there’s a lot of things I’ve said so far, so I couldn’t bring myself to say I didn’t like it.

Or, it could be because of pride, because until now you have always been on the side of rejection.

Whatever it was, I didn’t think it was real.

So he decided to help his daughter with one thing.

This is a child who stubbornly did not let go of her sword despite the fierce opposition of her family.

Thinking of that tenacity, I thought that the relationship couldn’t end easily like this.

“Fortunately, I quite liked you.”

“… ?”

Take a moment to look at Roan, who responds with a question mark on his forehead at the sudden compliment, but says thank you.

The duke continued.

“So, I’m willing to take a look at it at least once.”

* * *

The conversation with the duke ended in a form that could not have been better.

He heard his true intentions, prevented Yuriel from dropping out, and concluded the marriage conversation with an engagement.

Of course, it’s an engagement relationship with an end planned, but since this was also told to the duke, it won’t turn into a problem later.

The only thing that bothered me was what the duke said at the end.

I like it, so I can turn a blind eye to it once in a while.

“What did you really mean?”

“That, well.”

And Yuriel’s reaction was also strange.

She was visibly embarrassed and evasive.

“I have no idea.”

“… okay?”

There was something suspicious, but I didn’t ask more because I didn’t know.

“Let’s go back. now.”

“yes.”

way back like that.

Perhaps he was organizing his thoughts after going through a lot of things, but Yuriel didn’t say a word with a complicated look on his face.

‘but.’

I can fully understand.

No matter how much I knew it was a misunderstanding, there was no way that the sediment accumulated over the years would disappear easily.

Still, the duke and Uriel don’t seem to have a back end, so I wonder if the sediment will disappear soon.

As expected, when we met at the academy a few days later.

There was no more concern on her face.

Rather, he looked relieved, so I asked after class.

“Has it been sorted out?”

“yes.”

I was a little relieved by the answer that came without thinking.

I had to solve the family issue at any time and move on, but it seemed like it was easier than I thought.

“Good.”

He looked at the gymnasium, which had been dug and messed up here and there, and continued.

“Go back first. I’m on duty today, so I have to put this away and go.”

“I’m here to help with that.”

Before I could even say that it was okay, Yuriel covered my mouth first.

“Fine… .”

“Didn’t you say you can’t live without debt?”

There’s no point in refusing to say that.

So I just gratefully accepted the kindness.

When you’re in the middle of organizing like that.

“Is Prince Roan here by any chance?”

Someone came to the gymnasium.

Looking at her outfit, she was not a knight undergraduate, and she was someone she had never seen before.

It was probably someone’s attendant.

“Me?”

“ah.”

As expected, he handed over a letter with an antique pattern and said.

“My lady sent me.”

he explained

The attendant was holding a banquet and said he wanted to invite me.

“oh… .”

When I heard the name of the family, it was quite a promising place.

Is that why?

The attendant spoke with a look of pride.

“What would you do… .”

“It’s not possible.”

… Uriel answered in my place and wrapped his thin fingers around my elbow.

“… !?”

When both me and the attendant were startled and hardened by the sudden action.

she continued.

“Please tell the attendant that Roan is busy with her studies.”

“… … .”

“go.”

“Ah, yes!”

The red-faced attendant left the gymnasium as if running away.

When you are lost in a situation that has been organized in an instant and you are in a daze.

Yuriel turned around with a rare, playful expression.

“It’s disappointing. Why didn’t you just refuse?”

I didn’t answer for a moment.

In the meantime, Yuriel continued.

“… uh, what?”

“No matter how much later they say they will break off the engagement, ‘now’ is my fiancée.”

And then stop talking for a while.

said with a smile.

“I just have to look. Roan.”
