The Vampire Is an Academy Honor Student

Chapter 078. Competition (2)

Outstanding talent for a powerful family.

However, his body was already sick with poison accumulated over a long period of time.

If it wasn’t for his overwhelming mana control, it would have been impossible to even unleash his sword.

I understood the situation at once.

‘It’s a succession race.’

It’s a common occurrence in this world.

Right now, even in Uriel’s family, something like this had happened in the previous generation, and even at the academy, there were numerous cadets who dropped out due to this in the middle of the semester.

“Huh!”

Caan!!

A clear sound of metal.

Even just hearing this, I could tell how seriously he took to training even in poor conditions.

‘… … .’

Originally, I wouldn’t pay attention to each and every trivial thing like this, but this time I became greedy too.

I was greedy, wondering if I could make it my own if it was a child that the family gave me anyway.

‘… first.’

So it was.

What fixed my posture.

“What are you doing?”

He frowned and asked if he thought he was ignored when he used something else instead of Kayla’s sword technique, which he had been using all along in this tournament.

“Are you saying it’s not worth dealing with?”

“Couldn’t it be the other way around?”

“What is that… ”

Fain!

Instead of answering, I moved.

Exchanging too many words can lead to suspicion of cheating.

‘Let’s see some skills.’

The reason why he changed his posture is to show his skills while dragging sparring moderately.

To make sure that you are truly a talented person who can be greedy.

Starting with the attack he deserved, he gradually increased the intensity and continued the offensive.

how long has it been like that

Caan!!

“Huh! omg!”

Laurel exhaled heavily.

He was thirteen by anyone’s eyes, but his eyes weren’t dead yet.

‘Is it the right way?’

It’s the same with raising mana with that body.

The basic skills were different from other cadets.

After being cured, I made a decision right away at the level of ability that I was looking forward to.

Without revealing, he relaxed from the sword and spoke quietly.

“Do you know your current situation?”

“… ? what do you mean.”

“Don’t move your lips too much. If Saddam gets caught, you might get a warning.”

He blinked at my serious expression and looked at me with a serious expression.

“What do you mean by my situation?”

However, I am greatly shaken by my words.

“you. You will die soon.”

“… !!!?!”

Kagagak!!

A sword that greatly escapes the path of the sword.

Even in the midst of his panic, he hurriedly regains his balance and corrects his posture.

“Exactly, you will be killed.”

“Bullsh*t, trying to sabotage me… !”

“I mean?”

“… … .”

“You really have no guesses? Really none?”

Well, probably not really.

Similar to Uriel, he seems like someone who knows nothing but a sword.

However, if you listen to the hint directly, even the most naive person has no choice but to doubt it.

“… … .”

As expected, I did not miss the momentary light of doubt passing through his expression.

To turn this into conviction, I continued to speak.

“Have you ever had the experience of running out of breath even though you haven’t moved much from a certain moment?”

“Even if I train the same as usual, my muscles are less attached.”

“I feel like my mana road is getting blocked.”

A face that becomes more and more dull.

Unlike the first time, I could fully infer his confusion from the violently shaking pupils.

soon nailed it.

“Someone in the family must have been very afraid of you, an outstanding bastard.”

“… !!”

Do it. For a moment, his movements stopped, like a puppet whose thread had broken.

“… ??”

The knight in charge of the observation frowned and looked this way.

Seeing that, I moved right away.

I understand the confusion, but if it’s too motionless, it’s suspicious.

jjoong!!

“… Ugh!?”

He suddenly comes to his senses at the tingling sensation in his hand.

“My talk is over.”

Saying that, he smoked up his mana.

I checked my skills, and the business is over, so I don’t have to procrastinate anymore.

“Now let’s finish.”

“… !”

gigg! Queek!

Power at more than twice the speed.

Laurel desperately endured the offensive, but was pushed back in both strength and skill and began to be unilaterally swayed.

When we exchanged seven sums like that.

A gap came out.

Tok, tok!

After approaching closely with irregular steps that dazzle the eyes.

I twisted my back with all my strength and thrust out my sword.

jjoong!!!

Fragments of the shattered sword flew away with a roar that was unbelievable that the blades had collided with each other.

A buzzing audience.

“Keugh… !”

Laurel was groaning as she wrapped her torn grip after falling several meters.

Before the observer approached, he quickly approached and extended his hand.

After giving a superficial apology.

I leaned down and pretended to lift him up and whispered in his ear so that no one else could see.

From noble mtl dot com

“… … .”

“… !!”

Two eyes wide open.

Instead of hearing an answer, I got up right away.

Seeing the confused look on his face, he’ll need time to think too.

“Please consider my proposal carefully.”

The answer was that he would wait until the day the tournament was over, and then he left the conference room.

* * *

finish the game

“You worked hard.”

“Ah, yes. thank you.”

After organizing the equipment I used with the help of a staff member, I went out to the audience and found Noah.

He doesn’t like to stand out, so he’s probably next to the pillar or in the back seat.

I was turning my gaze to such a corner.

Two pairs of pointy ears were found in a remote area of the arena.

“There it is. uh?”

Noah and Sigrun.

The two were facing each other.

Noah had his back to me, so I couldn’t see him very well, but from the way Sigrun’s lips moved, he seemed to be talking to them.

‘no way?’

For a moment, I thought about getting into a fight.

Because Noah is of mixed blood.

The reason I ran out of Elvenheim was because I couldn’t mix with other elves.

However, looking at the atmosphere, it seemed that the situation was not so grim.

More than that, Sigrun’s expression seemed to be concerned about a young fellow he met in a foreign country.

When you are relieved of this and move on.

Sigrun noticed the gaze from this side and turned his head. eyes closed for a while

“… ?”

She stared this way, nodded slightly, and disappeared.

I was about to talk or walk, but it seemed that the attention around me was burdensome.

“What were you talking about?”

“… … .”

I thought he might not have asked about my regards, so I asked lightly, but Noah unexpectedly hesitated to answer.

It took a while for the answer to come back.

-I’m okay.

“?”

And the answer was unexpected.

No one said anything, but it felt like the thief had numb my feet.

“Suddenly, something is fine.”

“!”

He quietly rolled his eyes and then said something else.

-… What were you talking about?

“what. With a sparring opponent?”

-huh.

I tried to change the topic too blatantly, so instead, laughter leaked out.

I don’t know what the conversation was about, but it must have been a fairly uncomfortable topic.

I just checked once.

“Haven’t you been criticized for being of mixed blood or something like that?”

-no.

“That’s it.”

Seriously, I didn’t think that a high elf would speak ill of a young elf.

I just asked for confirmation because the reaction a while ago was strange.

“What did you say earlier? Oh, what were you talking about?”

didn’t say anything

Like someone in your family is trying to kill you, and you’ve already got a lot of poison in your body?

And at the end, he suggested, ‘I know the decryption method, so if you’re interested in trading, come find me.’

-transaction?

“uh.”

At first, he just said that.

The important thing is that I intend to tell him when he comes to me on his own.

– What if he doesn’t come?

“Come unconditionally.”

I answered with confidence.

Since you have already planted the seeds of doubt, you will try to confirm the truth of my words at least once, and after noticing the rotten substance of your family, you will come to me even if you are curious about how you knew it.

“It doesn’t matter when you come.”

So instead of meddling any further, I plan to wait patiently.

He wasn’t going to die right away anyway, and there was still a lot of time left before the conversation was over.

He said while stretching.

“Let’s see the competition.”

There’s a matchup every day anyway, so there’s nothing to do other than watch the match.

I watched the sparring that followed for the purpose of observing the next sparring opponent.

* * *

But soon it was no longer necessary.

Because my schedule for this week’s game has all disappeared.

I heard this absurd news around the beginning of today’s 7th Dalian.

“Why? Could it be that I am disqualified?”

Could it be that I was caught having a sad talk?

I asked with embarrassment, and was able to get an even more absurd answer back.

“no! It can’t be that it’s a disqualification.”

“Then why… ?”

“All opponents abstained.”

“… All without exception?”

“yes.”

That’s why there is no schedule.

I couldn’t understand what the situation was, so I asked again and again.

It was so strange that the cadets of the Knights Faculty gave up before even fighting, no matter how unlikely the odds were.

“no. in fact… .”

“?”

An official from the event explained the situation.

The whole story of the case so confirmed.

“face?”

“yes. Apparently, the sparring content was very one-sided.”

“… ah.”

I could only grasp the situation from his awkward expression.

The reason why all the cadets of the excellent knight faculty chose to withdraw.

‘… I see.’

So far, I have overwhelmingly pressed all sparring within one minute.

In the meantime, even the first Dalian in the preliminary match was over in 3 seconds, and in today’s Dalian, he even smashed the opponent’s sword.

especially the last one.

It was said that I did it to create an excuse to talk to Laurel, but how would it look to someone who didn’t know that?

I must have been seen as a dangerous (?) guy who fooled another cadet with his overwhelming skills and even broke his beloved sword.

‘… this.’

Even if you lose when you lose, it doesn’t matter if you lose in normal form, but since everyone is smashed to the point of being bizarre, the next opponent can’t be motivated.

That’s why they abstain from giving excuses.

Since most of them are nobles, they chose what is called an honorable defeat rather than being publicly humiliated.

“ah… . That was not my intention.”

“… … .”

At my words, the person in charge hides an expression of bewilderment.

It happened to plant a distorted image of the kingdom unintentionally.

He coughed loudly and asked.

“I understand for now. Then, can we come back next week?”

“yes. From then on, there will be no withdrawals as it is the final round.”

“All right.”

So, I didn’t have to be at the convention anymore, so I came out.

I was thinking about what to do for the rest of the week as I walked to my dorm.

I could see the street where the festival was going on in the distance.

As in the case of the King of Knights, it was held aiming at the crowded tournament period.

“Do you want to go over there?”

“?”

“festival.”

I have to play for a while anyway. I thought it wouldn’t be bad to buy gifts for the other cadets and the princess.

In particular, Iris was in a bad mood because she missed treatment for a month, but I wondered if she would get better if she bought something.

Noah hesitated and answered.

-Everyone will stare at you.

“You can disguise yourself.”

“?”

“I have a disguise kit. Why, what was written in Eden.”

Besides, it’s getting dark now, so you won’t be able to see his face very well.

“how is it.”

Having heard this far, Noah nodded slightly.

-… then let’s go
