The Vampire Is an Academy Honor Student

Chapter 084. trials (2)

Noah slumps as his life force is stolen with his mouth wide open.

At the same time, the aggression and murder that had filled his eyes also faded.

It’s a natural reaction.

No matter how much the monster’s true nature awakens, it does not manifest itself prior to its own survival.

After the vampirism was over, Noah, who had lost consciousness, was carefully laid down.

Although he did vampirize, this was not to make him a member of his family as usual, but to gain vitality.

After coming to my senses, I will have to recuperate for a few days, but I will not change like Müller.

“after.”

I woke up wiping the blood from my mouth.

Then he looked at Noah, who had fallen asleep, and muttered.

“… I was surprised.”

Unlike the usual mumble, the lips moved quite clearly, and I thought he was talking for a moment.

Did you say thank you?

I don’t know what he meant, but there was one thing I could tell.

‘It wasn’t encroached on by demons.’

I was worried that I might lose my temper because he was a ferocious Magi that made me wonder how he hid it until now.

I was relieved to see that relaxed expression.

“… What did you do?”

Ymir, who was watching me, narrowed his eyes and asked.

In his eyes, who did not know my identity, it would have seemed like I was suddenly attacking Noah.

“no. Rather, how did it happen? It should have been dead.”

“Ymir.”

Instead of answering his questions, I told him the truth about a long-ago failure.

“I stole the crystal plant.”

“cheeky… . what?”

For a moment, Ymir doesn’t understand my words and reflexively asks back.

I took a breath and continued talking.

“It was I who killed Hwaran.”

“what… ?”

This was to focus his gaze completely on me.

In any case, if he decides to run away with Noah, there is no way I can stop him.

“Even destroying the killers of the empire.”

“They made me arrest the apostate.”

“And rescuing Princess Iris.”

The cause of all these distortions.

The reason why he was given the dangerous mission of killing a saint.

entire.

“It’s all me.”

I can’t help but believe it

The fact that one person knows this much information leaves only the possibility that it is the person himself.

Ymir’s eyes, which had been blank for a long time, seemed to have grasped the situation, and sank as cold as ice.

“A bug that I haven’t even known the name of. How dare you disturb me?”

“… !!”

Cheer!

Goosebumps run through your skin at the tremendous amount of life he exudes.

If I hadn’t encountered Kayla’s life on a daily basis, I might have been intimidated by just this.

“after.”

I inhaled and exhaled briefly, relaxing.

After that, he lowered his stance and prepared a combat stance.

Seeing the fighting spirit, Ymir let out a blank laugh as if it were absurd.

“Are you insane? Even if you pray right now, it won’t be enough.”

“If I beg you, will you save me?”

“I can kill you in moderation.”

“… … .”

I closed my ears to the nonsense.

Concentrating his mind, his eyes followed Ymir’s slowly approaching movement.

“You must have as much skill as you were arrogant!”

Ymir rushes in, unleashing his black demonic energy.

From noble mtl dot com

The moment when something flashed.

He reflexively pulled the sword toward his body and poured as much mana as he could to keep the sword from breaking.

Wow!!

“… What!?”

An intense shock hit the body with a roar.

My feet went up and I was pushed back several meters.

In front of that overwhelming power, the only thing I could do was not let go of the sword.

‘It’s strong.’

No matter how weak the corps commander is, is the corps commander still a corps commander?

Even though I received Noah’s life force, when the swords collided, I thought I had hit a wall for a moment.

Desperate power car.

However, it was Ymir who was more surprised than me.

Ymir looked down at the piercing blade with a calm expression.

Confusion was evident on his face.

“… … .”

“… … .”

I could see why he was doing it.

Apparently, it was because I couldn’t even react properly at first.

He will feel that I have become stronger in an instant.

Of course, that is actually true, but from his point of view without any information, it is bound to be confusing.

“… It was to the point of being cocky.”

After a while, Ymir murmured.

“But I picked the wrong opponent.”

As if to say that he wasn’t sincere a moment ago, he rushes in even faster.

I clasped and opened my numb hand, as if it would break at any moment, and immediately moved to defend it.

Quaang!!

My stomach was shaking and I felt like something was going to come up, but I held back and calmly blocked his attack.

Then, he slowly turned his gaze to examine the boy’s body.

Small scars here and there.

These are the things that Noah left after fighting to the death.

Originally, if it was as strong as Ymir, it wouldn’t have any effect at that level.

I am different.

If it were me, I could make that effort not in vain.

Crunchy!

I bit my teeth and remembered the magic formula.

I felt like my head would explode trying to do two things at the same time.

Maybe it’s because it’s a skill I’ve practiced countless times in preparation for a day like this, and also used it in real combat.

charleureuk!!

In an instant, a bloody ring is woven.

“Hmm?”

Ymir narrows his forehead.

I pulled the trigger right away without wasting time.

excessive bleeding.

A skill I used when dealing with the Orcs I encountered earlier in the Empire.

I don’t know how effective it will be against the corps commander, but I’ve grown remarkably compared to that time.

Bubble bubble!

“uh?”

For a moment, Ymir suddenly stopped.

You must be feeling something strange.

“You bastard, what did you do… .”

The boy frowned and opened his mouth, but it didn’t go all the way.

Fuhuaaagh!

It was because before he could finish his words, all the small wounds on his body opened and blood gushed out.

“… Wizard!?”

For the first time, the expression of bewilderment showed on his face.

As if he thought grasping the situation first, he opened the distance for the first time in today’s battle.

Only then did I barely catch my breath.

‘This is why I kept it a secret until the end.’

The reason why he didn’t reveal anything about vampires to anyone except Noah.

It was because he thought that if he kept the secret well, he would be able to use it usefully in the first boss battle like this.

The first raid target, Ymir’s power, is to cover the sun.

It’s a fraudulent power that unilaterally creates one’s own ‘territory’ and has been hit dozens of times in the game… .

‘Thanks to you, I’m alive.’

It’s like a haven for me.

Thanks to properly covering up the damage, I was able to regain my senses and recover before Magi completely engulfed my body.

A perfect counter.

It’s like consuming your own demonic energy and boosting the opponent’s energy.

Even now, when the blood has thickened, I am far superior to Ymir in terms of strengthening the body.

I could tell from the fact that I was still holding out against him.

Ymir, who is confused by the situation he is experiencing for the first time in his life, immediately starts to stop the bleeding.

Magic gathers around the wound and tries to seal the torn part.

Of course I didn’t leave it alone.

‘Where!’

Since it was the only part I could bite on, I persistently popped his wound to stop the bleeding.

The guy stops trying to stop the bleeding, probably realizing that there is no way to heal the wound on his own.

Instead, he looks at me with a puzzled expression and says.

“You bastard, I thought you were a wizard.”

“… … .”

“Is that why you stole the water plant?”

I didn’t answer.

His expression changed, as if he understood the silence as a sign of affirmation.

He even speaks in a lively voice.

“… Don’t even think about going fine.”

Killing the caster is the surest way to heal these ‘curse-type magic’.

“You weren’t going to kill me anyway?”

“The process will be different.”

“… … .”

However, unlike that bloody bluff, Ymir’s attack changed strangely.

Unlike before, when they recklessly dug in, they started attacking while maintaining a thorough distance.

‘hmm?’

The appearance of reacting sensitively to a small wound.

Although he had a nonchalant expression, he was also secretly wary of magic he had never seen before.

I saw a possibility here.

It’s true that it’s still a tough opponent, but maybe both me and Noah can return alive.

His fighting power is different, but now that he is receiving the same authority, his energy consumption is much higher than mine.

There is also bleeding.

If you can hold on until you run out of strength, you might back off on your own.

He must be here on a mission, but he wouldn’t want to bother me by trying to catch me.

‘… you can do it.’

Whoops!

take a short breath

I followed his movements with a tight grip on my sword.

Soon, blue mana and Ymir’s black magic collided.

* * *

A cheeky young knight who doesn’t know who he is.

I was thinking of killing him right away, but the battle was unexpectedly prolonged.

‘… … .’

Although this side had a clear advantage in strength and technique, the opponent held up strangely well.

As time goes by, one question comes to mind.

‘… What is this guy?’

It’s about identity.

Too strong for his age.

It’s the same even if you think about it without this strange magic that interferes with hemostasis.

Just looking at his swordsmanship and physical ability, he is not short of being called the genius of the century.

‘… weird.’

There have been several geniuses of this level in history.

But they always made a name for themselves from an early age.

It has to be.

Because that’s what a born genius is.

Even if you try to hide it, people around you will naturally notice it.

‘But.’

So it was even weirder.

This young swordsman, who had already been sword-to-hand for several hours, was a face he had never seen before.

It doesn’t make sense that I still didn’t know about these people when I run several intelligence organizations.

‘Unless it fell from the sky one day… . uh?’

Suddenly, Ymir’s movements stopped like a puppet with a thread cut.

Because the idea that I thought of inadvertently was surprisingly plausible.

‘Yes… . all.’

Although rare, there are indeed people who are born this way.

A person who was ordained by Heaven (God).

‘Apostle.’

An oracle that says ‘Do not be afraid of the night’.

As it got darker, the opponent suddenly became stronger.

“… ah!”

The puzzle is put together and the whole body trembles.

realized at the same time.

Where did the opponent’s strangely tough vitality come from?

“Ha ha ha ha!!”

Ymir, who burst into madness, took in the spicy magic from all directions.

‘You’ve been fighting like an idiot all this time.’

cancellation of powers.

At first glance, it seemed like a fatal misjudgment during the battle, but the opponent’s expression was strangely distorted.

At the same time, the curse gradually disappears and hemostasis proceeds.

convinced of this. That the other party was the one the oracle pointed to.

‘Caught an apostle!’

This is a much greater achievement than capturing a newly appointed saint.

If a saintess is a ‘transmitter’ who preaches the voice of God, an apostle is a ‘savior’ who directly carries out that will.

Of course, both are important, but to put it bluntly, there is a clear difference in their influence.

‘If this is the case… !’

I thought that I could be forgiven for my negligence, and even receive a reward.

‘I was lucky.’

I thought there might be a problem with the plan, but it turned out that Dori had to catch the apostle.

But the veil of darkness is lifted.

His expression, which burst into madness to his heart’s content, was dazed for a moment.

“hahahaha… . uh?”

Because I could see the faces of those who shouldn’t be seen from the outside.

Three master-class knights.

In addition, they were strong people of the century who were familiar with their faces.

“… what.”

When you can’t accept the sudden change and mumble in a daze.

The most familiar of the dogs approaches.

A young genius knight of the kingdom who had been on a chase until not too long ago.

He glanced sideways.

“… I will hear the explanation later.”

After confirming the scarred apostle, he coldly rages and aims his spear at him.

and say

“Commander Ymir. Unfortunately, I missed it last time.”

it’ll be different this time

Ymir’s expression distorted as much as possible in the situation that turned to the worst.
