The Vampire Is an Academy Honor Student

Chapter 075. Sanctuary (1)

to go to the kingdom

Even though the church has been overturned once, the lockdown is still in place.

In the meantime, the person who received the trust is taken out?

“why? No, how?”

“that is… .”

I asked because I didn’t understand, and Amy’s answer was simple.

“I have more important things to do.”

“… ?”

“The explanation will be a bit long.”

“are you okay. It’s the academy’s day off tomorrow anyway.”

So when I said that it doesn’t matter if I came in a little late, Amy answered with her eyes narrowed.

“I don’t rest.”

“… … .”

I know.

“… Then, please explain briefly.”

“It’s a joke. Umm… .”

Knock knock.

Tapping the prize with her fingertips, Amy quietly closed her eyes.

Recalling the memories that have been there for more than a month, he begins to explain in a quiet voice.

“It was actually an accident that we caught the first apostate.”

The dizzying wind stumbled and the mark was revealed by chance.

It was too much to catch other apostates who were hiding in the church alone.

So I asked for help.

‘help.’

‘Priest?’

One of the escort knights.

When he left his training to become a full-time priest from a former apprentice priest, he was unknown.

During the training, there were several attacks by demons, and at this time, I saw him cutting demons, so he was a trustworthy person.

‘There is an apostate in the church.’

‘… !!!’

After explaining everything to him, I asked for help.

He was surprised to hear that the high-ranking priest was an apostate, but he soon replied that he would understand.

Fortunately, he didn’t ask how he knew this. Instead, he muttered with a strange expression.

‘… indeed. Communication with him was for this time.’

‘?’

‘hahahaha! You don’t have to act ignorant even in front of me. already… .’

I already know all the articles.

At first I didn’t really know what he was talking about, but after thinking about it, I realized.

Considering the time, there is only one.

“Probably the chatter with Miss Noya at night was misrepresented.”

“… … .”

“young master?”

“… no. Please continue.”

“yes.”

It’s an illusion, but I didn’t have to explain it because I could omit the complicated explanation in the current situation.

That’s how I joined forces with some knights and secretly went out to find the apostates from the church.

Within a month, I found 17 of them.

“Seventeen?”

“yes. We’ve all found this one. It was dealt with later.”

“… Good job. really.”

“yes. … In fact, it is because of this.”

Organizing a church by one person is surely a great achievement.

The problem was that this achievement was too good in the eyes of the high-ranking priests.

They couldn’t leave this brave priest who fought against the evils of the church alone.

‘I can make a recommendation right away.’

‘Wouldn’t it be premature? Compared to the saints of the past, they lack much divine power.’

‘That’s true, but that can be solved through the holy relic.’

‘indeed. then… .’

After talking amongst themselves, when they came to their senses, the decision was made in an instant.

“… That’s how I was recommended as a saint.”

“… … .”

“So I guess I should go to the Empire. I had to get the consent of the high priests and receive the holy relics.”

‘What is this?’

After hearing the full story of the incident, I was speechless for a moment.

‘Sending Noah meant that he was just a messenger and a companion… .’

I never imagined that it would grow and grow and affect the selection of a saintess.

This was a change in a positive direction, so if it wasn’t for nothing, it would have been pretty unfair.

After thinking for a while, I opened my mouth.

“So next week?”

“yes.”

“From what I’ve heard, you’re going to a sanctuary within the Imperial Territory to be exact.”

“Yes.”

There is a small sanctuary within the Imperial Territory.

It is a place where the pope and the high priests reside and where holy relics are kept, and it can be seen that it plays the same role as the Vatican of the world (Earth).

‘It’s almost confirmed.’

There are several procedures left, but if you have come this far, it seems that your status as a saint is almost certain.

Because the saintess in the original game was promoted through the same process.

So I asked.

“Are you okay with the saintess seat?”

“What do you mean?”

“It is literally.”

Becoming a saint is a great honor and glory, and at the same time, it is like saying that you will immediately become the main enemy of monsters.

Raids will become routine.

The responsibility on your shoulders will also increase to an unimaginable level compared to now.

I asked because I thought it might be too much for Amy, who was a low-ranking priest not too long ago.

“It’s not scary.”

She answered without worrying about anything.

“As a priest who serves God, the only thing I fear is the shame in my heart.”

“Oh oh… .”

Are you really a priest?

Because of my father’s influence, I wasn’t really a group with a good impression, but when I see people like this, I realize that I had a lot of prejudice.

… After all, they are a much more moderate and normal group than our ancestors.

Looking up at her with an admiring expression, he silently clapped his hands and said with an embarrassed expression.

“… Big hum. Do not.”

“You mean it doesn’t matter anyway?”

“yes. There is only one thing I am concerned about.”

“what?”

“I am afraid that my ability will be lacking, that is what I am most worried about. This is not something that happens with the mindset.”

Perhaps this has been a concern for quite some time, but today, for the first time during the conversation, her face is pensive.

‘… Hmm.’

But this is fine.

The period of seeing her was short, but it was enough to know that she was competent in her own way.

Her life in the church is short, but in other words, it means that she is as savvy as the world, which can be an advantage for a saint in a difficult age.

“And there are apostles too.”

“yes?”

“I will help you. Since you took care of me when I was young, I think it’s the opposite now.”

It was said with the intention of easing the burden in its own way, but the reply that came back was a shocking refusal.

Amy says with a straight face.

“… I hate that. Bocchan, you are ten years younger than me.”

“what? What does it matter?”

“I look like someone who ate too much.”

It’s a personality that can take care of others by nature, but can’t stand being taken care of.

So, he says he will take care of himself first.

“… Yes.”

“I will take your heart.”

In reality, he must be the same age as me, but hearing these words made me feel very strange.

Still, I hate myself.

“Yeah what. Take good care of yourself.”

“yes.”

After a few words of regards, I returned to the dormitory.

and after a few days

It is known that the church has been closed and the oracle has descended.

* * *

‘Do not be afraid of the night.’

The contents of the brief oracle were revealed and the world was turned upside down.

This is because the oracle, which came down in centuries, has a great meaning in itself, now that the influence of the gods has weakened since the connection with the demon world.

The high-ranking people secretly knew about the oracle, but they were also unaware of the contents, so the shock was the same.

However, apart from the uproar in the kingdom, there was no movement.

The reason was simple.

This is because the contents of this trust were the most implied in the church’s history.

‘… Don’t be afraid of the night?’

‘What do you mean?’

‘Maybe it hints at the place.’

Like the priests who first heard the contents from Amy, most did not understand the contents of the oracle.

There has to be something to guess in order to work, but since there is nothing to be caught, of course I have to keep quiet.

Many speculations have been made, but none have been plausible yet.

“Isn’t that a good thing though? First of all, the sanctity of this land has been restored.”

“That’s right.”

Except for two people.

Uriel, who nodded and answered Dante’s words, looked around and whispered to me.

“Roan. Is this… .”

I ask if the oracle is pointing to the person who saved us when we were attacked.

Uriel was unconscious due to paralysis poison, but after waking up, I heard from Ian and I know.

“It was the night.”

“… … .”

“Do you remember anything?”

It’s a memory, I sleep, and that’s me.

I got away with it.

“I don’t remember well because I was out of my mind at the time. It was dark and I couldn’t see very well.”

“Aren’t your eyes bright at night?”

“… It was raining and I couldn’t see very well.”

“aha.”

“… What are you talking about earlier? Why do you keep talking about what you know?”

“it’s nothing.”

When Dante intrudes on the conversation, saying let’s join in, Yuriel doesn’t change his expression.

“… … .”

Seeing that, I didn’t think I would go anywhere else to talk about this.

If only he knows, Ian knows this.

It seems that he intends to keep his mouth shut rather than cause confusion in the investigation.

‘I’m glad.’

For now, one concern has been reduced.

Instead, I had another concern, but I had to find a way to get to the Empire.

This is because the next trust right now is a little less than two months away.

‘It’s a bit twisted.’

Originally, I was going to reveal my identity and go to the empire together with the oracle coming down to Amy, but the schedule became a little complicated.

There was no way for me to join the party of the church that was leaving next week right away, so I had to come up with an excuse to go to the Empire in two months.

‘… … .’

I thought about it for a long time, but there was only one way.

A tournament held in the Empire.

Apart from the King of Knights held in the 2nd semester, there is one big tournament held in the 1st semester.

The biggest difference from the King of Knights was the scale.

The number of participants is limited to one at the academy.

So until now, no one other than Yuriel had participated in this.

“… after.”

“?”

Uriel looked back at me who suddenly sighed deeply.

In order to participate, he had to defeat her in the upcoming Dalian evaluation.

dark space.

From noble mtl dot com

Corps Commander Ymir was extremely nervous waiting for someone.

“… … .”

one hour. two hours… .

Mouth is dry

Then, the person I was waiting for appeared.

Click.

“!”

Ymir swallowed dry saliva at the sound of his bones ringing from his numerous Death Knights.

It was because each of them was as strong as a corps commander.

They were monsters that were quite strong even before they were alive, and now that they have defied death and gained eternal life, they are stronger compared to then.

Even Ymir, the current corps commander, couldn’t stop his body from trembling when he faced a number like that.

He tried to hide his agitation and bowed his head.

“Meet the Lord.”

“… … .”

Called Rod, his body was covered with reddish veins.

Signs of obvious arteriosclerosis.

The day a change in the world line was detected.

It was like this because the magical power, which was normally not supposed to increase, suddenly increased by about 5%.

Because of this, the Undead made in advance could be used, but magic was in a state where it was impossible to use.

Ymir bit his lower lip at the necromancer staring down at him.

‘sh*t! That’s why I needed a fertilizing plant… .’

But even that was stolen by someone in the middle for unknown reasons.

I couldn’t figure out why or who stole this grass whose use was unknown.

‘If you get caught… !’

Then, when he gnashed his teeth, saying that he would kill him with his own hands.

The Necromancer opened his mouth in a low voice.

“This is your last chance.”

“… !!”

It’s your last chance. To this, Ymir, who was very nervous, replied.

“Please!”

“The priest of the kingdom received an oracle.”

Not long ago, the church of the kingdom announced that an oracle had come down and announced that it would make the priest who received the oracle a saint.

Since the s*x reversal has already been decided, the appointment is certain.

so… .

“Kill him.”

The necromancer commanded with flashing red eyes.

The main enemy of all monsters.

to kill the saintess.
