Academy Light Attribute Vampire

38 – Preparation Period

Jwa-!

‘Great…!’

The Yeti’s huge arms slammed down on the hastily made shield.

The shock that shakes the arms to the extent that the shoulders creak.

The shape of the shield I’m using for the first time, I think it needs more supplementation.

For now…

As she blew mana into her shield, her black haze rose viciously.

‘Push it away.’

Kwaang-!

As soon as the mana erupted all at once, I retrieved the shield and saw the Yeti flying far away.

At that time.

-Team 2!! Are you okay!!

From far away, the silhouettes of Team 1, who came to support after defeating the Yeti, approached.

“Support! Now…!”

But the problem is.

-Kooaaang!!

The place where the Yeti flew.

It must have been in the direction of the supporter who was rescuing Mr. Ben.

“Mitchell!!”

Team 1 also hurriedly ran in the direction of the supporters, as if they had grasped the situation.

Team 1’s Cluan was running at terrifying speed with his great sword in both hands.

‘…Slightly delayed.’

But no matter how much I wear crampons.

It is not easy to speed up due to the topographical inconvenience of the icy road.

Awakened, Yeti’s huge hand slams the floor.

– BEAUTIFUL!!

The support managed to jump sideways and dodged one attack, but…

“Damn it!”

If we go on like this, it’s certain that the Yeti’s hands will soon crush us.

Quickly retrieves the shield and transforms it into a gauntlet.

If running is difficult because of the icy road.

‘I just need to fly.’

Quang!

A change in scenery that we have become accustomed to.

I managed to close the distance by half with one leap.

Just before the members of Team 2 found me with a shocked expression at the sudden roar.

Quaang!!

I disappear once more before I can even put myself in sight.

What is reflected in the field of view is the figure of the supporter who is trying to get his body back up.

The Yeti trying to crush a supporter with his huge feet.

I put my hand on the guy’s side as it is.

Spurts out mana.

Puong!

Because of the situation in which he was in midair, he could only raise one hand, so his power was greatly reduced.

It was enough to make his huge body stagger.

Thanks to that, the supporter was able to escape safely before being stepped on.

Before my feet even hit the ground.

“Hyaaah!!!!”

Let’s wield a greatsword that glows brightly when Cluan comes running.

The guy’s head was cut off.

**

That’s how the expedition came to an end.

There was an after party, but I passed because I had to go to school the next day.

‘… It was a bit burdensome.’

What awaited me on the way back from the expedition.

It was a lot of interest, questions, and thanks.

‘What countless handshake requests…! Not even…’

There were really countless requests.

There are countless requests for contact exchange.

Because the number of new contacts has increased by 8 in the contacts tab of the smart watch.

“Huh…”

I’m sure you’re a little tired…

Let’s get some sleep on the train and wake up.

I had arrived in Merhem.

Let’s get some sleep and think about it.

I headed back to the dormitory with a tired body.

**

Late night.

Four solar data management rooms.

A woman gets her monitor drilled. She was looking

Again.

The video went by in an instant.

A man who was clearly far away.

The scene where he instantly flies in and rescues a supporter in crisis.

The drone’s camera was entangled in a blizzard, so the picture quality wasn’t that good.

I was able to grasp the general situation.

“…”

The team leader of the four solar strategy analysis room.

Lee Hye-yeon frowned and opened her mouth.

“This is…”

What the hell is that?

The video playing on the monitor right now.

It was a video taken at the gate that occurred in the Lutetia area today.

Mr. Cluane of the A-3 team, who is on the quiet side, made a fuss for some reason and told me to check it out.

I was wondering what the hell was going on…

Replay the video.

I don’t know if I try again.

“No. Are you a vampire?”

What kind of vampire could fly like this?

Looking at it in slow motion, it looks like he did something with the black gauntlets on his hands…

‘Artifact?’

However, it is said that there were no artifacts on his body.

And the decisive factor is the eyewitness account of the 2 teams.

The student who came as a helper suddenly put his hand in his shadow.

It is said that he created a huge black shield to block the yeti’s attack and send it away.

And I couldn’t look closely because of the crisis situation that followed.

Someone flew in front of the Yeti and even rescued a supporter.

“…Is he a student?”

It is rare for the students of the academy to visit as helpers from time to time.

You don’t have to do anything extra, just showing the attack is helpful to the guild’s image,

It’s not a bad condition for us either.

But usually it’s just a side tour and helping with chores,

There was no example of practical help in attacking like this.

‘Obviously something special…’

It was then.

“What? Why is the light still on?”

The door opened and a man entered.

“… Vice guild leader.”

With a calm expression on your face

Slightly long hair tied back.

And the red eyes that symbolize he is a vampire.

It was Luan Verdine, the sub-guild leader of the Four Suns Guild.

Because he is in charge of the guild’s work thanks to the active guild leader, he gets off work late.

So he used to show himself walking around each department like this before leaving work.

“Huh? Monitoring? Why? Any signs of something wrong with the gate?”

“No. That’s not it…”

The head of the sub guild scattered the documents in front of the monitor.

“Ah, this is the content of the A-3 team strategy. I heard that there was something unusual… Let’s see.”

Press the play button of the video on the monitor.

As before, the video passes by in an instant.

“… I’ve been looking at it for a while and what this is…”

Let’s hold onto our temples in frustration and complain to the vice guild leader.

“… What?”

The deputy guild leader’s expression, which had always been gentle, hardened.

“…Yes? Why?”

As if he couldn’t hear me.

I looked back at the video once again.

The video stopped at a certain scene.

A scene where a man sticks his arm into the shadow.

As soon as the sub guild leader saw the scene, he let out a sigh.

“…Berzen.”

Berzen?

Ah, come to think of it.

Look at the list of party members.

The name of the student who applied as a helper.

Rye.

And a referral guaranteeing his status.

Reflecain Bergen.

“…Berzen?”

The Bergen I know?

Of course, because the war between vampires was only between vampires.

I didn’t know the details.

Just a lot of heroes appeared.

A war with no victors in which there were so many victims one after another.

In the end, it is said that the war ended with the queen ascending the throne, only reducing each other’s power.

But.

The sub guild chapter in front of you is different.

He went through the ‘war’ himself.

I fought on the battlefield and lost someone dear to me.

And now a tragic war hero who holds a professorship at the academy.

He was also a comrade who fought alongside Reflekain Bergen, entrusting him with his back.

The deputy guild leader picks up the document file.

“…The recommender is Bergen. He’s not the type to do things like this.”

“Certainly. Martial arts professors have high eyesight. Usually, tactics professors recommend it…”

“This.”

The head of the sub guild opened his mouth with his eyes shining as if he had found a jewel.

“He’s been raised by Bergen. That’s for sure.”

“Professor Bergen himself?”

If that was true, it was pretty shocking.

Because Professor Bergen and Professor Lina were famous for not accepting students.

And crucially, if there was a student like this, it should have been in the guild’s data a long time ago.

But no matter how much I searched, there was no information about a student named Rai.

That meant that this student was only in the first grade.

“…How long is the contact period left?”

Permissible contact period.

Period during which guilds are allowed to send love calls to first year students at the academy.

” It’s been since ‘The Tournament’ ended… There’s still about a month and a half to two months left, right?”

“… It’s not long. Until then, do as much research as you can about this student… No. I’ll do it myself.”

Seeing that the head of the sub guild is talking like that, it must be something.

Of course, just showing that level of powerlessness as a mere first-year student wasn’t worth it, it was overflowing.

**

The next day.

As always, I started Monday morning with a morning workout.

“Ah! Junior! Why didn’t you come out on the weekend?”

Let’s go to the gym in two days.

Senior Erica, who was running on the treadmill, quickly approached her and spoke to her.

If this is enough for missing a day, then after a week off, I’m going to come back to the dormitory.

“Just for a part-time job.”

“Part-time job?”

Hmm…. I fell into thought.

“You have a lot of points because you are number one, right? Isn’t that enough?”

“… I need a little more money.”

“Eh? You’re doing something strange, right? Like a coin..!”

‘No, coins are here too?’

That’s not important right now.

“No. It’s not like that. Now you don’t have to worry.”

“…Really? Let me know whenever you have a hard time. Then let’s work out quickly!”

He has a personality that makes you feel at ease whenever you talk.

It seems like the only thing in my head is exercise, but…

After lightly exercising like that, I enter the classroom.

‘..What is it?’

For some reason, Selina is not in the classroom.

I thought it was strange, but for now, I sat in my usual seat.

Let’s have a conversation about what we did over the weekend with guys like Mi-rae Yoon and Bella.

“…Hello.”

The narrow-eyed Selina entered.

“…You didn’t sleep again?”

“Now it’s time to prepare for the tournament… And then.”

Selina smiled slightly imbued.

“It was a waste of time to sleep because I started to see some results.”

“Oh. That’s a relief. But the preparation period?”

“…? You’ve never seen a martial arts competition? It’s an event held twice a year at the academy…”

“A martial arts competition?”

This is really the first time I’ve heard of it.

No.

Looking back, I think it was mentioned in a novel once.

– The opponent’s sword bounced off the swinging sword. And so the finals came to an end.

“…”

But there was really only a mention.

Due to the nature of Jinha Seong’s first-person novels.

The incidents that Seong Jin-ha didn’t think much of were really fleeting.

‘That’s not really helpful…’

At that time.

Professor Bergen walked into the classroom with an annoyed expression as always.

Taktak-

“Sit down.”

Let’s sit quietly.

Professor Bergen delivered notices as always.

“The schedule for the martial arts competition you’ve been waiting for has been set.”

“Oh!”

The classroom suddenly became noisy again.

“… There’s still a long way to go, so don’t be too excited.

Rather than that, focus on the practice or exam right in front of you.”

Tap, tap, tap.

Professor Bergen wrote a rough schedule and details of the event on the blackboard.

“The schedule is subject to change at any time.

Your performance in this tournament determines the number of love calls from the guild, so take care of yourself.”

And.

Professor Bergen’s eyes turned to Seong Jin-ha.

And then, after a moment, he turned his eyes and stared at me.

‘…Why do you say that?’

I feel anxious when I look at you all of a sudden.

“… The Vampire Queen has decided to participate in this tournament as a special invitation.”

“Huh.”

The children’s eyes widen.

Even Selina, who sat next to her, rarely showed her surprise on her face.

Originally, high-ranking officials from each country or knights visit for scouts.

It is said that it is extremely rare for a country’s king or queen to directly participate.

‘…It must be because of Seong Jin-ha.’

Sung Jin-ha is not the main character for nothing.

She is a descendant of the true ancestor and will serve as an escort for the queen after graduation.

No one can say anything about the queen’s favoritism and her attention.

“Huh?”

Wait a minute.

The Queen is coming…

‘That escort, Adela, is also coming…!’

At last, what Adela said

I learned what ‘stopping at an academy that hasn’t been announced yet’ is.

‘Wait a minute.’

If Adela came to school and watched the martial arts competition.

Naturally, Adela will know that I am number one.

You will see me fighting.

Then you’ll know I was lying.

I thought I was just stopping by for a while, and I thought we were just going to eat together….

‘…’

It seems that the time for clearing up karma has arrived.
