The Vampire Is an Academy Honor Student

Chapter 095. joining (4)

We spent a lively time talking about each other as much as we hadn’t seen each other in a long time, but as the night went on, everyone became less talkative as their cheeks turned red from alcohol.

When time passed and it became completely night, no one but me was sane.

“Ugh… . Two Roan… .”

Yuriel is drunk and talking strangely in her sleep.

Iris was sleeping softly on her lap, and Dante and Fay, who seemed to be holding on a little, were also sleeping with their heads on the table.

“… … .”

Tok.

The head of Yuriel, who had been awake until the end of the day, also bent.

The next day, I laid her down and tilted the glass to her so that her neck wouldn’t hurt.

Horok.

“… It’s tasteless.”

He grumbled, frowning at the bitter taste of wine.

Personally, I like something sweet, but it was strangely hard to find that kind in this world.

“Can you get me some?”

When I put down the glass I was drinking and muttered to the back with regret, the answer came right away.

“… I can’t use the guild’s budget anyway. Do it at your own expense.”

Adjutant Lord Dyke.

After finishing his work, he came late at night, looked around the mess and shook his head.

“… And, wine isn’t the problem in the first place. The captain never gets drunk, so I just wrote.”

“Well, maybe.”

Even in the original world, I didn’t like alcohol very much.

This was the same not only for me, but also for the memories of my father and ancestors.

It didn’t work even with severe poison, but there was no way alcohol would work.

“If you don’t eat that, give it to me.”

“Take it.”

He handed the entire bottle to Lord Dyke, who sat down looking for an empty seat.

A dyke that drinks more than half of the leftovers from the bottle.

I looked out into the dark for a moment and then asked him.

“How is the unit?”

“Not bad. There are still some parts I’m not satisfied with… Well, this is only natural for a new Knights.”

“… That’s good.”

It is natural to operate the Knights, but there were some lax parts because it was a rookie, but fortunately, it seems that it was a passing point.

I poured the remaining wine into my mouth at once and thought for a while.

“… … .”

It was right after I finished my secluded life that my family formed an order of knights.

Carziel was originally from a family of knights, so it wasn’t that difficult to form a knights’ order.

‘Take as many as you want.’

The duke, who knew my situation well, tried to provide the maximum amount of support I needed, but I refused.

First of all, the first reason was that it was not something the family should shoulder.

Also, when I think about what will happen in the future, I thought it would be meaningless if there were only a lot of numbers and weak substance.

‘Only applicants will be accepted.’

‘I’ll pay the price too.’

Regarding the price, he decided to pay later when the knights grew up, and only accepted applicants for now.

Fortunately, there were many applicants.

It was because his popularity within the family had steadily improved since his possession, and he had several opportunities to fight with other knights when he occasionally came out to see how Laurel was doing.

‘I want to join.’

It was difficult not to have applicants because he had popularity and talent at the same time.

Before a month had passed, he quickly selected 15 members and established an official order of knights named after his family.

And at this time, they created another group that was not an official Knights.

It was the armed group led by Laurel.

Originally, I was going to make it immediately after bringing him to the kingdom, but personal circumstances arose and it became impossible, so I made it only now.

Since I have to deal with some dirty work later, no one knows the existence of this side except for Lord Dyke, the lieutenant among the knights.

Dyke did not show any reluctance even after hearing the reason for their existence.

Instead, I asked for something else.

‘How are you going to use them?’

I realized one thing when I calmly asked how they were used.

His mindset was strikingly similar to mine and my old clan.

He could calmly classify people according to use and need.

It was vague to say whether this was good or bad, but one thing was certain: he was the kind of adjutant I needed.

“Thank you for coming.”

“no.”

“But I’m asking you now, why did you come to our knights?”

It is sincere to say thank you for coming.

If it hadn’t been for this experienced man, I might have been struggling with the operation of the knights.

However, I don’t know why a knight who is now in his mid-40s and is about to retire soon came as an adjutant to the newly formed Knights Order.

All I can give him is trouble and some fame.

Even that, I didn’t reveal that I was an apostle, so the fame that comes with the suffering is probably not at the level.

Dyke replied with an insignificant expression.

“I know.”

“You know?”

“yes. To begin with, I don’t put too much emphasis on things like reputation. There’s nothing left of that, is there?”

“… … .”

Those were not words that would come out of the mouth of a knight who values honor.

But instead of reprimanding him, I laughed.

It was because those words made me understand to some extent why he had put himself through such hardships.

“… You look so much like me.”

“yes. So I felt like I could do really well this time.”

“What do you mean?”

“Because of my incompetence, I lived a life with many things to atone for. … I think now is the time to repay.”

At the same time, he blurts out his words, saying that he cannot speak in detail because he is sick to the stomach.

If it’s something that can’t be said even by borrowing alcohol, it must have happened in the past.

“… … .”

I kept my mouth shut.

Then, after looking out into the dark for a while, I left.

“… Let’s go now. I have to work tomorrow as much as I am fifty today.”

“yes.”

“Kyung listens to the two of them.”

After moving the four who had fallen asleep to the dorm, I went back to the leader’s office.

* * *

morning that day.

“Have you come?”

I met Laurel a few hours earlier than the rest of the group.

He had been entrusted with exterminating the monsters around here, but his sword was stained with hot blood, as if he had caught the monsters in the mountain range a little while ago.

“road.”

It was a little difficult due to lack of sleep, but since he has already become a vampire, it is difficult for him to be active during the day, so he has no choice but to meet at night.

When the Knights’ work stabilizes, it will be something to share with Lord Dyke, but even though it’s difficult now that he is doing most of the practical work, I have no choice but to wake up at dawn every day.

‘Whoa… .’

Shaking his head, he chased away the drowsiness and said.

“Report.”

“yes.”

After a brief salute, Laurel begins to report.

“There are almost no monsters left now. If the day is bright and you proceed with the subjugation, it seems that the complete subjugation will be over today.”

“Is there a possibility that demon beasts will flow in from other places via the mountain range?”

“I can’t say no, but it wouldn’t be an insignificant number at all.”

As a result of the direct scouting, the mountain is rugged, so if you come from another place, it will not be enough to damage the village.

If that’s the case, as long as you catch the remaining monsters, that’s the end of the Knights’ first mission.

“What are your plans next?”

“As previously announced, we will have an evaluation match within the Knights… Then we should bring Noah first.”

I have to bring Noah to complete the ideal knights power I’ve been dreaming of.

So, I plan to start my full-fledged activities from then on.

‘It’s Elbenheim.’

Of course, you can’t take the knights with you.

Instead, I received a token from the queen before leaving, so I can take it and go alone.

It won’t take long.

“Lord. then… .”

“ah.”

When Laurel carefully called out to me, I looked around and saw that it was slowly dawning.

“Then let’s go.”

“yes.”

I sent Laurel away and returned to the base of the Knights.

* * *

A lot of new knights, including academy classmates, came in, but the schedule of the knights was the same as the day before.

I still can’t breathe at all, but it’s monster hunting anyway.

These things can be easily caught with only personal skills, so they immediately set up a subjugation party and left for the mountains.

Instead, the subjugation method was slightly changed.

“What has changed is… .”

“I’m thinking of going on a sheep hunt.”

He pointed to a part of the map to the member who asked with a puzzled look and answered.

The best terrain to check the magician’s firepower.

It was difficult to get out once it entered because the sunlight was not good, and there were many highlands around it, so it was a position where one-sided attacks could be poured.

“… But don’t we have no attacks to pour out?”

“That’s fine. Because there is one of the new members.”

“Would you like to be one?”

“It will be.”

“… ?”

The member still had doubts on his face, but he did as he was told.

“I understand for now. If it doesn’t work out, just grab it… .”

muttering and walking away

The reason for my confidence is different from mine, but I think I understand it anyway.

“depart!”

The members leave after sprinkling their bodies with the scent that the beasts like.

Looking at that figure, I said to Iris, who was standing a step behind me.

“We are going too.”

“Yes.”

We headed deep and high in the mountains and waited for the knights to lure the beasts.

Iris turned to me and said with a thrilling expression.

“You said you were stronger than Roan back then, right?”

“yes. You may even be surprised.”

“Is that so?”

I’m not kidding.

It’s a 7th level magic.

It’s not specialized for support or assistance, it’s offensive magic.

At this point, the firepower of all of our knights will be stronger than shooting arrows.

Doo doo doo… .

“coming.”

I muttered, feeling the echo of the earth spreading from far away.

When I open my eyes and look, it looks like there are about a hundred of them.

Iris asked with a slightly nervous expression if she felt this way too.

“What can I do?”

“You can shoot wherever you want. Oh, except for the complaints.”

It’s difficult when there’s a forest fire.

“yes. then… .”

Iris manifests magic.

At the same time, the hairs all over her body stood up.

Parchit! Pachichit!!!

From noble mtl dot com

With the magic of the most powerful wizard among existing humans, red sparks ignited around her and her hair became electrified and floated up.

‘this… .’

Right next to me, I could clearly feel it.

That the size of the power she embraced is at a level that would never be pushed back even compared to me now.

Besides, the output is a level that overwhelms me.

‘Drive! Go over there!’

I hear the voice of the knight driving the demons.

Iris trembled.

I held out one hand as a sign of waiting.

After waiting for a while, I raised the flag when I was completely within range.

It was almost the same time that the knights who confirmed the signal retreated and Iris fired magic into the center of the crowded monsters.

Hwaaak!!

‘… hmm?’

A white orb that flies emitting an incredible amount of light.

Just looking at it made my skin tremble, so the power is as far as I know.

However, Joon was a bit strange.

Unable to sense the power of her own magic, Iris shot it in front of her nose.

“… Get down!”

“yes?”

I hurriedly pushed her, who was only looking forward, and covered her.

“… Huh!?”

Iris’ entire body stiffened as she breathed in vain.

At the same time, magic fell.

—!!!!

And the sound disappeared due to the maximum power of magic that exploded at close range.
