The Vampire Is an Academy Honor Student

Chapter 086. oath (1)

Chew!

Blood splashing in front of my eyes.

Ymir looks down at his chest with a look of disbelief.

Even in the midst of that, it was surprising to throw the sword all the way, but I was able to avoid this much because I had already greatly improved my balance.

Huung… !

Ymir’s sword that cuts through the air.

Instead of fighting back, I immediately distanced myself.

Ymir, who was already mortally wounded, tried to chase after him somehow.

Fu-wook! hooked!

The sword star and Sigrun’s sword, which came running like lightning, pierced his body.

“Huh!?”

Ymir collapses with the sound of air escaping from his lungs.

Both eyes were full of questions.

“how… .”

“I told you. I’m used to it.”

kicking pattern.

Because of that pattern, how many times had Cale, Ian, and Uriel die in the end after winning all the battles.

In the first raid, if even one of the three dies, clearing is like crossing the water, so I studied a lot to avoid falling into that pattern.

I memorized frame by frame, so now I can block the last pattern even with my eyes closed.

‘… If I knew this was going to happen, I’d stop studying and play games hard.’

When the Ymir strategy I researched at that time worked well, I thought for nothing.

Of course, it’s already in the past, so thinking like this won’t change anything.

‘Tsk.’

When you quench your appetite with regret.

Took.

“hmm?”

Ymir’s upper body, which had been threaded like a skewer, twisted weakly.

He could see his eyes blurring from the accumulated blood loss and injuries.

The light of life is about to go out.

He raised his head and looked at John.

“… … .”

“… … .”

When our eyes meet, he nods.

to finish with my own hands.

Sigrun and Ian next to me had the same expression, so I swung my sword right away.

Chew!!

A silver glimmer rises.

Ymir’s neck rolled on the floor.

“… … .”

John, who looked down at the head that had rolled up to his feet for a long time, let out an incomprehensible laugh.

Then he looked at me and said.

“Go back at once. … And, you must have a lot to hear.”

“hahahaha… .”

Seeing Ian and Sigrun nodding with similar expressions, I smiled awkwardly.

Then, carrying the fainting Noah on our backs, we returned to the royal capital.

* * *

Just like when I came, it was a full day after I arrived at the royal capital.

John looked at the dark sky once and said.

“I’d like to talk right away, but before that, there’s something we need to do. I’ll call you later.”

“yes.”

Death of Corps Commander Ymir.

Since this is not a small incident, there will be many things to deal with right away.

It doesn’t matter because Noah needs to be treated anyway and I need to rest too.

One day off, the next day.

I went straight to the instructor.

“Instructor.”

When he said he had to return the next day, he said he would stay in the Empire.

The instructor asked with a puzzled expression.

“Are you going to stay?”

“yes. actually… .”

He made excuses prepared in advance.

Sir John, who watched the competition carefully, suggested that he would like to learn a little from him.

“what!? that… !”

“It is not appeasement. It doesn’t take long to learn. I will stay for another week or so and learn just a few skills.”

“… … .”

“Not really.”

Sir John also said that he did not intend to accept me as a disciple, but simply suggested it out of interest.

Plus.

“it’s okay. Can the kingdom’s shield be swung so easily?”

Could it be that the descendants of the samurai who have defended the kingdom for generations will remain in the empire?

The instructor’s expression, which had been uncomfortable with the rant, straightened.

“but. yes.”

“yes. When we return, the kingdom intends to return with some of the escort troops.”

“hmm? Oh, was the escort Sir Ian?”

“yes.”

The instructor, who relieved his worries, allowed it right away.

He was also a knight, so he understood the situation.

Between academy grades and the swordsman’s teachings, anyone who dreams of becoming a knight would choose the latter.

And it’s not like my grades are in danger if I miss a week.

“Be diligent and come.”

“thank you.”

With the permission of the instructor, I was able to get a week’s time.

* * *

Tick-tock.

“… … ?”

The large, ruby-colored eyes that had been opened for the first time in a long time blinked a couple of times.

I looked out the window once, then I looked down at my hands.

I tilt my head again.

Seeing him so confused, he folded the book he was reading and said.

“Woke up.”

“!”

Noah is startled by the quiet voice next to him.

Seeing that he has such a surprising energy, he seems to have regained his energy.

“First of all, it’s been three days since you collapsed.”

“… !?”

“Are you hungry?”

“… … .”

Noah paused for a moment, then put his hand on his stomach and nodded quietly.

I explained the past while shaving the fruit I had brought beforehand.

how we survived

What happened to Ymir?

It was hard to accept it in an instant, but as the explanation continued, the hand that was eating the apple slowed down.

“… Like that, I caught Ymir and now I’m post-processing.”

“… … .”

“You fought well and lived.”

The actual battle was carried out by the three, but if Noah hadn’t pulled the time, they wouldn’t have had a chance.

Expressing my belated thanks, I asked cautiously.

“… So are you okay?”

“… … .”

I didn’t see Noah fight because I was down at the time.

The reason why she was able to pull off so much time against the corps commander must have been because she had gone far beyond the normal level.

‘How did I not know?’

It was shocking that he had been hiding that amount until now, but what was even more surprising was Noah, who looked fine even with that amount.

How did you not go crazy?

It still looks fine… .

“Did you force it?”

-no.

“then.”

“… … .”

Noah, who licked his lips a few times, soon became depressed and lowered his head.

Did I touch something wrong?

I couldn’t figure out the reason for the depression, so I continued talking even though I was embarrassed.

“What are you talking about? I was just wondering if you were okay.”

-… it’s fine now.

“now… ?”

Noah explained.

About the long-forgotten secret of her birth and how she was able to be okay until now.

“Then then… .”

-huh.

At that time, it was because the sealed demonic energy exploded all at once, and now that it has calmed down, it is fine.

He adds that he will probably be fine if he just takes care of himself in the future.

“… aha. okay?”

“… … .”

I reacted as calmly as possible in case my reaction would hurt you, but honestly, a little bit.

No, I was very surprised.

I thought, covering my mouth.

‘How did I not know this?’

It was a fact that I didn’t know about even though I played the game so many times.

Even at that time, Noah was on the side of the demons.

No matter how many times they killed and killed each other, how much did they hate to use magic, so they had never seen it like that before.

‘for a moment?’

At this point I felt something strange.

Then why did he use the magic he hated rather than die this time?

I asked out of curiosity.

Coke!

As a result, Noah coughs as if the apple he was eating got stuck in his throat.

Then, he rolls his eyes here and there with a surprised expression.

There, both pricked ears.

“are you okay?”

Seeing that he looked more puzzled than depressed, I handed him a bottle of water.

Even after Noah drank the water and calmed down, he did not answer for a long time.

I waited quietly

how long has it been like that

Noah’s hand moved.

-that… .

However, it soon stops again.

bang bang!

It was the sound of someone knocking on the doorknob outside.

“!”

“wait for a sec.”

Let’s go outside and there was Ian.

He seemed to be in a hurry, dressed in armor and with his bangs a little disheveled, he opened his mouth.

“Sir John has just returned. Is this time okay?”

“now?”

I looked inside for a moment.

I’m in the middle of talking with Noah, but this side is much more important when it comes to the seriousness of the work.

“… sorry. Let’s talk later.”

“… … .”

Noah nodded.

Taking a deep breath, I followed Ian after leaving her with a somewhat relieved expression.

From noble mtl dot com

* * *

The sword castle’s mansion in the royal capital.

I was guided by the servant and headed to the drawing room with Ian.

“You can go in.”

Inside, John and two high elves are waiting for us.

“Sit down.”

“yes.”

John offers a seat.

I sat down anywhere and got straight to the point.

“How did things go?”

“Brigade commander?”

“yes.”

“After taking only the supply and demand, the rest was burned like a village that was attacked.”

Since there were no survivors in the village, they said it was done in order to cover up the secret.

“Cover up.”

“I did that once. I intend to listen to you and decide whether to publish this or not.”

“ah… .”

It’s strange to say something to a cadet who hasn’t even graduated yet, but it’s not so strange when you know that he’s an apostle.

There is a certain weight to this title.

I was the first one to discover Ymir in the first place.

“What would you like me to do?”

Everyone’s eyes turn to this.

After thinking for a while, I opened my mouth.

“I do not know.”

“hmm… ?”

“I have a headache too. In fact, it was purely coincidental that I met the corps commander.”

“what!? Didn’t you know? Got a notice or… .”

“If that was the case, we would have gone together from the beginning. There’s no reason to take such a risk.”

“Then why did you go so far?”

“I had someone to look for. When I went, he was already dead.”

“There’s something else about finding someone.”

“that is… .”

I was about to speak.

There is no end to explaining each one like this.

After he revealed that he was an apostle anyway.

“I will explain from the beginning.”

I explained everything except that I was from another world, because I would be with those gathered here until the end.

A year ago, from the moment my sickly body began to heal until now.

As the sun went over the hill, the long explanation came to an end.

“… This is how it happened.”

“… … .”

Everyone said nothing.

In particular, Ian looked like a person who had gone out of his mind, perhaps because he was shocked.

Sadora must have known this already, but it would have been hard to imagine that it would have happened a year ago.

Suddenly he ah! give an exclamation

“Then in Eden too.”

“that’s right.”

“ha… … .”

“I’m sorry for lying. But it was a little difficult for me to tell you.”

“… no it’s okay. It’s just a little confusing.”

As Ian shook his head and drank cold water, Yohan, who quickly assessed the situation, spoke.

“So, in summary, this is it? I received a foresight a long time ago and went looking for a wizard. When I went there, he was dead and there was a corps commander instead.”

“yes.”

“So you don’t know. Because your foreknowledge has gone wrong.”

“… yes.”

That’s what it says.

I strayed too far from the flow I knew.

John let out a long sigh and said.

“… Putting aside the fact that your foreknowledge was wrong, it’s fortunate. It would have been really bleak if you had died as well.”

It is true that I am fortunate enough to have bought it.

In addition, it is a good situation to catch the corps commander at such an early stage.

Even so, the reason I couldn’t be happy with my mind was because I was confused as if I had lost my way.

‘… … .’

Buying is good, but what next?

now what can i do

“Whoa.”

When I think about that, when I sigh in a stuffy mood.

“Sir Roan.”

“yes?”

Sigrun, who had been contemplating without saying a word until now, calls me.

Then he said it with a serious expression.

“Wouldn’t you like to meet the World Tree at least once?”
