The Vampire Is an Academy Honor Student

Episode 011. noah (2)

“ah.”

Black hair and bloody eyes.

And white skin contrasted with it.

A mixture of half elf and half dark elf characteristics.

Caught helplessly in a crate that smelled like filth, she was beaten by that Noah.

I was so shocked that I couldn’t speak.

I never could have imagined that the murderer would be held captive by a slave trader like this.

‘Did he go over to the Necromancer after living as a slave?’

No information was known about her, so I couldn’t guess anything other than this. No, that’s not what’s important in the first place.

‘I have to take him.’

If I don’t take her here, she will later become the most dangerous being and stand in my way.

“customer?”

As I couldn’t take my eyes off her, the merchant said with a subtle expression.

“Are you interested in that?”

“… Are you selling it?”

I asked just in case.

Then the merchant nodded as if asking something like that.

“of course. Rather, I was worried because it didn’t sell.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“Don’t talk. I can’t even use it because of how ferocious his temper is.”

Elves are often sold as slaves to aristocratic families at a much higher price than normal labor because of their beauty.

However, since Noah inherited some of the dark elf’s tendencies close to chaos, he must have been different from the normal elf with a docile personality.

Recalling the image of Noah mercilessly slashing Cale and the troops gathered by this side, I unconsciously nodded my head.

“And there were people who didn’t like it because it was repulsive.”

“hmm?”

“that. Isn’t your hair black?”

In this world, black hair is like a symbol of a demon.

It’s no wonder that people with normal taste instinctively feel disgust.

“… But the customer doesn’t seem to care.”

In the first place, most of the world I lived in had black hair, so it had to be.

Rather, the pointy ears were more interesting to me.

This made the merchant angry.

“If you are going to buy… .”

“Previously.”

I answered without taking my eyes off Noah’s red eyes.

“… first. I want to be alone for a while.”

It was a small request, so the merchant said yes and moved away.

So, only the two of us are left.

“… … .”

“… … .”

After a few seconds of silence, he opened his mouth first.

“I intend to buy you.”

We can’t just let Noah go here. If anything, I plan to take the devil’s orb even if I give up.

“I have no intention of using it as a s*xual anger.”

“… … .”

Even after waiting for a long time, the elf did not respond. I wondered if he hadn’t heard at all, but as far as I know, Noah’s ears are fine.

‘Well, it was originally like this.’

Originally, Noah was an NPC who was famous for not reacting at all.

Seriously, I must have never even heard a voice in the 337 meetings.

For once, he continued to speak.

“My lady-in-waiting will be vacant soon, so I plan to use her as a lady-in-waiting after giving her proper education.”

“… … .”

Originally, the family said they would find a new lady-in-waiting to replace Amy, but things have changed.

It’s a bomb that doesn’t know how it will explode, so it’s most certain to keep it nearby and watch it.

“… But I am also willing to release you if you promise me one thing.”

“… … .”

snap.

Still silent, but this time the tips of her ears moved slightly.

‘I was listening as well.’

Elves can swear by the Oath of Mana.

“I will not kill anyone in the future. If you keep this… .”

The words didn’t come to an end.

Because it was creepy and goosebumps for a moment.

right after.

Kaang!!!!!

A shivering iron grate.

The bony fingers sticking out between them stopped right in front of the hem of my clothes.

“… … .”

“… … .”

You can see the soft lips and the quiet eyes.

A lot of thoughts crossed my mind at this time.

‘After all, the best way is to appease, but… .’

Actually I don’t know.

What will that lead to?

This is because the behavior of characters with chaotic tendencies is very difficult to predict.

Since Noah is only half-mixed, it is relatively light in that way, but it is certain that he has an element of uncertainty.

If you feel that you can’t control it, you need to think of other ways.

“… Then, I will release you.”

And this was the best I could think of.

Even if you erase the slave’s imprint and release the restraints.

If the oath remains, it can act as a sufficient binding force.

“… … .”

It was time to quietly wait for an answer.

Knock knock.

“hmm?”

Noah reached over the grate and pointed at a branch in front of my feet.

“… ask for it?”

Then he nods and shakes his head.

‘what?’

First of all, I held a branch and watched something.

The hand holding the branch slipped out of the window.

Cheek-.

After a while, the ground was written in human characters.

-why?

* * *

“slime.”

That’s what I’ve been hearing since I was a kid.

With half of Dark Elf blood, I was no different from an outsider to them.

Elvenheim, called the haven of elves, was just a hellish space to me.

“go away!”

“Elvenheim doesn’t need people like you!”

So left.

And I realized that there was an even more hell outside of hell.

The other elves’ disgusted stares were just medicine.

At least they didn’t think of enslaving the other person.

“That way!”

“catch!”

The moment you show your face, hunters flock to you. There was no human to help the helpless young elf banished from his kingdom.

I ran away.

He hid his face and ears and moved only at night.

However, there was a limit to just running away, so I had no choice but to become poisoned in order to survive.

I took up the knife to protect myself, and the moment of the first murder was not far away.

The day I killed seven elven hunters who had chased me deep into the forest.

When you kill each one of them begging to be saved because you won’t be chasing them anymore.

Something inside me collapsed.

Her vocal cords were fine, but strangely, she was unable to speak.

“… … .”

That day, my mana and magic awakened at the same time, and I lost my voice.

* * *

Awakened magic was not a big deal.

It was all about the ability to see through the opponent’s lies with first-class magic.

The world was already full of lies, so it was an unnecessary ability.

Awakening mana wasn’t bad, so my life on the run was extended a little.

However, it was not long before they were forced to be caught in an organized hunt.

“hehehe, b*tch like a dog. It’s bothering me.”

“But will this sell? If you want to make ends meet, you can’t go below 200 dollars.”

“You’re an elf after all. Someone will buy it.”

They whispered to each other and valued my product. The imprint of a slave was engraved on his shoulder, and he was equipped with a powerful restraint to prevent rebellion.

The first person to buy me was a fat noble from the empire.

“Hoo.”

He said that he liked my black hair, probably because he had unusual tastes.

“I will buy it.”

But I was sold again shortly after.

It was because I strongly resisted the aristocrat who wanted a place to sleep, and I killed the servant who spit on me and assaulted me.

There were restraints, but it was so easy for me.

I realized it belatedly, but I had a natural talent for hiding my presence and handling blades.

“f*ck off! After all, you shouldn’t bring in the blood of a monster… !”

“… … .”

At the subject he bought, the pig raised blood and shouted loudly.

I’ve never been so annoyed that my voice didn’t come out.

It was sold through the hands of countless merchants and then sold again.

how long has it been like that

When a long time had passed that even the image of Elvenheim, from which I had left my back, had faded in my memory.

“I want to talk to you two for a moment.”

A strange human appeared.

* * *

“I intend to buy you.”

The man who bit the merchant said so.

His face was not visible because of the mask, but it was not difficult to guess his identity.

It was a young voice, but it had a subtle elegance, and he must have been a son of a high-ranking aristocratic family.

he continued.

“I have no intention of using it as a s*xual anger.”

It was true.

Are you thinking of making the elves work for you?

If so, this is the most unique taste of any rough owner ever.

“The lady-in-waiting will be vacant soon… .”

“?”

… He was a man who had no idea what he was thinking.

It was surprising that everyone was telling the truth, but I thought it was pointless anyway.

In any case, the author will buy me, and will soon resell it.

However, what he said next was far beyond expectations.

“I have thoughts of releasing it. Unless you kill people.”

“… !!”

Surprisingly, this was also true.

You want to free the slaves?

I couldn’t help but ask

-why?

“… Can’t you talk?”

He was startled and said to himself, ‘Somehow’.

“I don’t need slaves.”

“… … ?”

You came to buy a slave and said you didn’t need a slave? I didn’t know what it meant, but it was also true.

So I asked for something else.

-then?

So what do you need?

He thought for a moment, then answered.

“you.”

“?”

“Exactly your ability.”

I thought it was a slick lie, but to my surprise, it was also true.

– How do you know my abilities?

“… You’ll have to figure it out later.”

this is false

Unknowingly, the corners of my lips moved.

It must have been the first time we saw each other today, but how do you know about my abilities that I don’t know well?

He must have misunderstood my expression.

“no. It’s okay even if you don’t know how to do anything.”

“?”

I thought he was saying something strange again, but he answered in a surprisingly sincere voice.

“Now you just need to be by my side.”

“!”

When I realized that this was also true, an unknown shudder arose in my chest.

I don’t know why.

It felt more like interest than excitement, radically different from holding a knife.

‘… … .’

The day I ran out of Elvenheim, if I had to say it.

It was similar to the excitement I felt before meeting humans.

‘A handmaid… .’

I was curious.

What would the face look like under that ridiculous fox mask?

After a brief thought, he reached out and wrote on the floor.

– My name is Noah.

Maybe it’s because it’s the first time I’ve ever given a name to a human.

I felt strange.

but.

-What does the maid do?

not bad.

* * *

After saying that he would tell me what he was doing when he returned, he immediately paid the merchant.

“They said it wasn’t sold, so it’s more expensive than I thought.”

“hahahaha, an elf is an elf. Still, it’s much cheaper than other pureblood elves.”

The merchant handed over the key to the restraining device and the slave contract.

After that, I looked around the store to find the orb that I was originally looking for.

‘found.’

A pitch-black orb that radiates a sense of resentment.

As usual, the devil’s orb, which can be obtained by defeating Balak, the semi-named level monster, was displayed in the corner of the store.

I thought about looking for it all night, but luckily I found it at once.

“How much does this cost?”

“First of all, it’s a magic tool… .”

I don’t know where it was used, but the price wasn’t small.

‘It’s a bit lacking.’

I thought about stealing it for a while, but there’s no point in making a fuss.

It’s a pity, but I decided to think of it as a benefit because I got Noah.

‘I’ll have to come back next time.’

Still, it was time to put my hand on the orb out of regret.

Gooooo!

“hmm?”

The orb emitted light once and turned into black smoke.

And it was quickly absorbed into my body.

It happened so quickly and so naturally that I couldn’t even resist.

“… ???”

“… ?”

The merchant with a bewildered expression met his eyes.

At that time, Noah, who seemed to have noticed something, wrote on the floor.

– Similar to you.
