The Vampire Is an Academy Honor Student

Chapter 070. Escort missions (2)

The day after Iris’ escort gun was decided.

After morning training, I walked to the cafeteria with Yuriel.

“… … .”

In the middle, I turned my head to the side at the various types of gazes that were pierced this way.

“… … .”

The cause of the gaze was, of course, her engagement to Uriel.

Because it was an engagement between powerful families, rumors spread without much fuss.

Faculties and even classes are the same, so we often see them together.

“… ?”

She must have stared at me for too long, raising her eyebrows in question.

Every time they went out, the distance was subtly closer than usual, but Uriel didn’t notice it, so he seemed unconcerned.

I answered, hiding a strange feeling of uneasiness inside.

“no.”

“?”

Lately, there are times when I can’t explain it, but I feel strangely trapped.

The same thing happened a few more times after chasing the attendant who had handed out the invitation the other day.

And after that, there were no separate attendants.

Is that why?

‘… Is that on purpose?’

I thought about this for a moment, but then I shook my head.

Because he wasn’t that kind of character.

If she likes it, she likes it. If she doesn’t like it, she tends to say it straight.

As the game turned into reality, there were changes in the details that I didn’t know about, but I hadn’t seen any changes in the basic parts of the characters yet.

The afternoon training began with the awkwardness that came to mind for a moment.

About an hour before training ends.

“Instructor.”

“Oh, let’s go, you two.”

Yuriel and I left the gymnasium separately and headed to the empty gymnasium for instructors.

We were scheduled to receive security training here separately so that we would not interfere with the other cadets for a month.

“No one is there.”

Looking around the empty gymnasium, Yuriel murmured.

The instructor in charge of training appeared about five minutes later.

It’s a little late thinking about the training curriculum, not anything else.

He said.

“It’s called an escort, but in truth, you guys won’t have much to do.”

“yes.”

On the contrary, if there are too many, it is not good.

It’s because the situation isn’t good enough to borrow a bracken hand.

the instructor continued.

“Now that we have some spare time, the actual work will be done by the knights. so… .”

So, all we had to do was to memorize the manual in case of an emergency and learn some types of security skills, to the extent of assisting them.

“As for security technology… .”

“There are trapping techniques and some bare-handed suppression techniques.”

“… … .”

Yuriel’s eyebrows narrowed slightly.

This is because it has no effect other than suppressing petty criminals.

“Would it be practical?”

She, who has a strong tendency towards perfectionism, asked if she wanted to learn properly.

Even from my point of view, since we have to give us some mission, it seems like it tells us something like this.

However, the instructor said that this was enough and proceeded with the training.

“Time is running out.”

“yes?”

“There will be a lot to memorize on the course of action. Not only the Knights, but also the members of the religious order accompany the princess’ escort.”

“ah… .”

training like that.

Yuriel still had a sad expression, but since her personality is her personality, the training itself was very diligent.

“I’m holding onto my shoulders and kicking with both feet at the same time.”

“… Mmm. Are you saying this?”

“yes. Let’s try it ourselves.”

As soon as the instructor finished speaking, Yuriel kicked my feet in one breath.

blah blah!

“… 100 million!?”

It didn’t hurt because I was wearing protective gear for training.

However, no matter how good my sense of balance was, I lost my balance when both feet were hit at the same time.

A body that leans into neatly entered technology.

“Huh?”

However, Yuriel, who tried to attack, couldn’t catch my weight.

Quadang!

Eventually, we fell together.

“… Huh.”

Yuriel, who was buried under her, swallowed in vain.

I felt my body stiffen as I fell from my back.

“sorry. Are you sick?”

It must have been quite painful since it was a hard floor.

I said sorry and immediately got up and held out my hand.

“… … .”

“… ?”

after a while

After that, let out a short sigh.

She calmed down in an instant and muttered, placing her hands on her chest.

“… It’s not bad training.”

It was a small voice, but it was clearly audible to my ears.

I asked a little dumbfounded.

“They said it wasn’t practical before.”

“I have changed my mind.”

“… ?”

When I look at you with my eyebrows narrowed in the mood of coming and going.

Uriel shook his hands and feet and said with a more eager expression.

“I’ll do it right this time.”

“!?”

I couldn’t help but be embarrassed to see him go through training with passion beyond sincerity.

“Roan, do it right!”

“Ah Okay… .”

When learning how to tie, I hold the twisted rope and even urge Earl to do it right.

In the end, I was released after filling up a full hour of training time.

* * *

The actual training lasted for about a week, and from then on, a security manual and training on how to deal with Iris when she suddenly complained of abnormalities continued.

Unlike me, who had memorized it through the text, Uriel had quite a bit of trouble at first.

However, it was a little slow at first, but she was able to pick it up quickly after a while.

Time passed quickly and the day Iris went out approached.

* * *

early morning.

“Good, hey.”

Dante, who arrived before the other cadets to help put on the protective gear, said in a voice of envy.

I answered while fixing my clothes.

“what?”

“The escort. escort.”

“ah… .”

Not only Dante, but the cadets generally reacted like this.

Due to the nature of Teria Academy, even if you could see high-ranking nobles often, it wasn’t a common opportunity to see royalty.

The princess is even more so.

When there is a national event, unlike other royals who can be seen, she has no chance to see her unless she participates in this way as an escort or hides in the palace like me.

But that too is short-lived.

Because her treatment is over soon.

After joining the party there, Dante can be seen every day without any envy.

I looked at Dante with a warm expression and said.

“You seem to have a lot to thank me for later.”

“… You’re talking nonsense again. What is it this time?”

“There is such a thing. Thanks for helping me get dressed.”

“huh? Ah oh.”

Even though it was an escort, he was dressed in light armor, perhaps considering his young age.

Metal protectors were added to the chest, shoulders, and joints, but it wasn’t too heavy because it was basically a thick leather suit.

When we went outside, Yuriel, who was waiting after changing clothes, asked.

“Roan. Are you done?”

“uh. Let’s go right away.”

“yes. Do you know how to ride a horse?”

To join the knights, he had to ride a horse to the capital.

Horseback riding is usually learned in elementary and middle school, so I must have thought that I had no opportunity to learn.

“If you can’t ride, behind me… .”

“no. I know how to ride.”

There was no problem with horseback riding because I had practiced it from time to time after falling into this world.

In the first place, the horses tend to listen to me, so it wasn’t difficult.

“Sup!”

“… !”

Just like this.

After getting on the horse that had turned into a docile cow, we immediately set off for the royal road.

* * *

Over the past month, there have been many incidents and accidents in the kingdom.

There have been several attacks targeting churches and military facilities, presumably attributed to Ymir.

I don’t know about demons, but there were very few cases where monsters invaded the kingdom directly, so there was confusion in the kingdom once.

However, if you dig into the truth, most of the incidents occurred in the northern part of the kingdom, and the extent of damage was minor considering the number of dead Dark Elves and Demons.

If the gains and losses were calculated coolly, this could be regarded as a de facto defensive success.

As evidence of that, it has been quiet without any incidents for about a month now.

The Central Knights judged that Ymir was on the run, and they said that they were chasing after strengthening the front line and encircling him.

‘It’s over.’

I was worried that there would be a variable, but fortunately there was no such thing.

Rather, due to preparations throughout the winter, the attack of the corps commander was prevented with minor damage, and in reverse, it is pursuing and threatening.

Due to the nature of the Dark Elves, I don’t think they’ll fail to escape, but if you can catch them, it’s a ridiculous advantage.

“Whoa… ”

By the time they almost arrived at the capital, Yuriel took a deep breath as if the tension was rising.

She glanced at the seemingly unconcerned side and asked.

From noble mtl dot com

“Isn’t Roan nervous?”

“I don’t really.”

I see you once a week, can you be nervous?

It was fine except for being worried that he would recognize me for the first time in a while.

Of course, he didn’t show his voice or face, so if you’re careful with your handwriting, you won’t get caught.

“there! Are those two cadets selected as escorts?”

As I was walking around holding a flag, a knight holding the same flag called out to me from afar.

“yes!”

“Follow me.”

After checking the student class, we were immediately guided by the princess.

“You can go in.”

go inside

His eyes met Iris, who was wearing heavy makeup, perhaps to cover up her pale complexion.

She cleared her throat and asked in a presumptuously dignified voice.

“Are you my escort?”

“yes. Degrading the princess.”

Uriel answered with a nervous tone.

I almost burst out laughing in an instant.

It was because of Iris, who looked more nervous than Uriel.

It wasn’t obvious, but knowing her usual appearance, I could tell that she was frozen right now.

“that… Yes.”

He responded by biting the inside of his cheek.

It was a slightly salty voice, but no one noticed, probably because they were both nervous.

“… … .”

“… … .”

After a short greeting, they looked at each other and said nothing.

I could see Uriel muttering, but in fact, it was difficult for her to speak first.

In the end, Iris has to tell me first, but I can’t say a word to where she was arguing with me a week ago.

I, who couldn’t see it, stepped forward and laid the plate.

“Do you have any questions about us?”

“!”

It was only then that Iris’ expression brightened and she asked a lot of questions.

“I heard that you are a cadet at the Faculty of Engineering. What classes do you usually take?”

“Ah yes. We… .”

Occasionally, Iris, who lacked common sense, asked questions that ordinary people could not understand, but Uriel answered without changing his expression.

The awkward atmosphere gradually disappeared.

When church personnel arrived, they were completely unleashed.

“Your Highness the Princess.”

“Ah, Cardinal Lawrence.”

Iris greets the warm-hearted cardinal with a welcoming expression.

She looked around and asked with a puzzled expression.

“Aren’t there people you always see?”

“Ah, there was a change in personnel due to circumstances in the church.”

“ah… .”

The place where Amy is staying is currently closed due to some kind of (security) problem, so the manpower is filled elsewhere.

Iris was a bit taken aback, but she nodded her head with a nonchalant expression, probably thinking it didn’t matter too much.

“Then shall we go right away?”
