The Vampire Is an Academy Honor Student

Episode 018. suspicion (1)

“Ah, ugh… .”

Before I could pull out the sword, Mine ran for over ten meters and stabbed me in the stomach.

Every thought that came to my head was volatilized by the pain I felt for the first time in my life.

My heart thumped and beat dangerously fast, as if I felt a threat to my life.

“That silver hair… .”

The scarred man looked down at us coldly and said.

“What’s your relationship with Ian Karziel?”

I could hear him say something, but my heartbeat was so loud I couldn’t think of anything else.

“Well, once you catch it, you’ll know.”

An unpleasant drowsiness came along with the excruciating pain.

As the blood drained, consciousness became increasingly blurred.

‘… blood?’

Even in the midst of that, only the smell of blood was clearly felt.

Looking for a way to live, his eyes wandering here and there searched for the blood and demonic wounds scattered on the floor.

There was no time to think that it was strange.

‘hungry.’

Because the moment I realized that, I felt extreme hunger.

Hunger, almost painful, to the point where it blushed all over my eyes.

I instinctively knew how to satisfy this hunger.

It was a similar feeling to the first time you dealt with mana.

It’s definitely the first time I’ve done it, but it’s a familiar feeling as if I’m reminded of what I can do from the beginning.

‘If you eat that… .’

Klopp.

swallowed saliva

The bloodshot eyes turned to the nape of the devil’s neck.

I didn’t feel any resistance to feeling a person’s appetite.

More than that, I couldn’t stand it because my fangs were tickling.

My pulse quickened like crazy.

blah blah!

Right before the sharp fangs pierce the nape of the devil’s neck.

“It’s pretty rampant.”

Mine clenched her tongue and twisted her sword.

The wound was severely opened and blood poured out with excruciating pain.

“Ouch… !”

My reason was cut off there.

* * *

[Roan Karziel]

[High School Engineer Faculty 1st year]

“also.”

Mine found the student notebook in Roan’s arms and murmured.

Roan’s characteristic silver hair and red eyes are exactly like Ian’s.

“You were lucky.”

He somehow escaped the pursuit of the Mine Reconnaissance Team, but was in poor physical condition, so there was little guarantee that he would succeed in escaping until the end.

But if there are hostages, the story is different.

No matter how cold-blooded Ian was, it was unlikely that he would abandon his brother.

Mine looked down at the gasping Roan and murmured.

“I have to keep him alive.”

If I become a corpse like this, I’ll lose my value as a hostage.

I didn’t think it was necessary to keep them both alive, so I tried to kill the woman, but I noticed that she was also the daughter of a duke and decided to save her.

She is also worthy enough as a hostage.

“Whoa.”

First of all, I caught Roan’s bleeding.

At the end, I felt strangely creepy, so I suppressed it excessively, and the bleeding was quite serious.

“But it is strange. She was asleep, so how did she stay awake?”

Mine muttered in response to a sudden question.

Colorless and odorless sleeping gas was sprayed around here to prevent any surprise attack.

It would be quite difficult to endure if even he hadn’t taken the antidote beforehand, but he looked so fine that he wondered if he didn’t have any medicine at all.

‘Have you taken the wrong medicine? No, that’s not it.’

Seeing that the woman next to her almost passed out, the medicinal effect is clear.

“Is it that you have a strong immune system innately? that is… .”

I wondered if that was possible, but Mine, thinking of Roan’s last name, was speechless.

It was because I thought that if Ian’s younger brother was like that monster, he would be able to stay like that.

“Damn it, Karziel.”

Remembering the number of demons killed by Ian, he murmured.

I didn’t know when I would wake up because the medicine didn’t work, so I tied my wrists for now.

‘I have to move before it’s completely bright.’

Thinking so, I leaned against a nearby tree.

Burr!

“hmm?”

Concentric ripples rose from the puddle of blood on the floor.

No, not excommunication… .

‘Is it boiling?’

Mine looked around and jumped up.

Bubbling bubbles were rising from all pools of blood on all sides.

“… What, what!”

My voice trembled at the incomprehensible unknown phenomenon.

Bassrock.

“… !!!!!”

The sound of stepping on the grass from behind made the hairs all over my body stand on end.

Mine instinctively lowered her stance and turned around.

There, Roan, who had woken up before he knew it, was getting up.

The wind blew open the wound in his abdomen, which had been stopped, and blood flowed out.

“… … .”

Even while staring at it, Mine couldn’t bear to move.

Because he didn’t feel the reality of the current situation to the point where it was creepy.

‘I don’t think this guy… ?’

It was now clear who was responsible for this strange phenomenon.

‘sh*t! Was it a wizard?’

It’s blood magic.

It’s unheard of, but if it’s magic, it’s possible enough.

Roan’s eyes wandered here and there unfocused.

obviously not normal.

It was like watching a sleepwalker.

“… … .”

“… … .”

When Mine with a confused expression and Roan’s eyes crossed in midair.

flash!!

“… !!”

Roan’s pupils, which had been blurry, momentarily contracted and focused.

On a face as pale as a corpse.

Eyes stained bright red.

“Huh, yup… !”

At this, Mine, who had goosebumps, covered her mouth that was about to scream and took a step back.

he drew his sword

‘I have to kill him.’

The instinct that had been forged through countless lines of fire was shouting.

the guy is dangerous

I must kill him now.

‘I’m sorry but… .’

As a hostage, it’s a shame because it’s valuable, but there’s one more hostage.

The moment I decided, Mine kicked the ground,

And it collapsed right away.

It was because the whole body was drained of strength from the majestic fear unfolding in front of its eyes.

“ah… .”

Hwaaak!!

Every drop of blood that had soaked into the floor rises into the air as if going backwards in time.

The blood was bound in the form of a ring, restrained the demon, and dragged it to the place where Roan was.

A thick smell of blood rises.

“you… What is it?”

Tears welled up in Ma-in’s eyes in extreme fear and confusion.

Instead of answering, Roan opened his mouth wide.

Through the open mouth, fangs that were slightly sharper than others were visible in the moonlight.

“ha… .”

Roan let out a quick breath and bit the nape of Mine’s neck.

Kwap!!

Sharp fangs protruded gently into the skin.

“… … !”

Chii profit!!

Roan’s wounds healed quickly.

Conversely, Majin’s skin lost its vitality and turned crumpled.

‘Ahh.’

The speed wasn’t unusual, so it’s okay now, but if you go fast for a long time, you could really die.

But even knowing that, I couldn’t resist.

This is because the moment the blood was sucked, an intense pleasure that no drug had ever felt came up the spinal cord.

so sweet.

To the point where even the fear of death and the owner’s orders were blurred.

‘I’m sorry, Mr. Ymir.’

pop.

Mine’s rationality was cut off there.

* * *

“… ah.”

As soon as I opened my eyes, what I saw was a clear sky and the moon rising between them.

Judging by the level of the moon, it seems to be around 4 or 5 in the morning.

It’s still dark, but it will start to light soon.

No, that’s not what’s important right now… .

“… !!!”

Memories came to mind one by one, and my mind was awakened.

I held my breath and carefully rolled my eyes to look around.

Then, he saw Yuriel, who was still asleep, and the figure of the demon who was also lying down.

“… ?”

But I can’t feel my pulse at all.

I got up even though I thought something was strange.

And I was speechless in shock.

Mine was dry and dead with teeth marks on the nape of her neck.

The penetrating wound in my abdomen had completely disappeared.

“… … .”

You taste blood in your mouth.

When I touched the fangs, I felt that they had slightly lengthened them.

I don’t remember, but everything was pointing in the same direction.

“… I killed you.”

He also sucked his blood and killed him.

All I can remember vaguely is the feeling of extreme hunger right before I passed out.

There was nothing to explain the current situation other than that I had been ‘vampiric’.

“……”

My brain got complicated.

Awakening the vampiric instinct is by no means insignificant.

Right now, it ended up extorting the opponent’s life force, but… .

It was clearly written in his father’s will.

It is said that the ancestors created tens of thousands of ‘fellowships’ bound by blood through vampirism.

This is why our people were both awed and feared at the same time.

“… … .”

It was the decisive reason why he was persecuted by numerous religious and powerful people.

* * *

“Should I put that away first?”

My head was complicated with various thoughts, but I decided to move my body first rather than thinking about it.

I abandoned the body of the demon and went to the stream to wash off all the sticky blood on my clothes.

“What is this?”

I murmured while fiddling with the case with antique intaglios that came out of the devil’s arms.

I tried to open it out of curiosity, but I couldn’t open it because I didn’t have the key.

The key was not even in the demon’s body.

“Should I take it for now?”

Even if it’s confirmed later, I took care of it once.

I don’t know what’s inside, but it must be a valuable item if you took it while you were being chased.

“Whoa.”

After that, I overturned Yuriel and moved to a place as far away from the place where I found the mine as possible.

6 am like that.

With a little less than two hours left until the exam was over, Uriel woke up.

“… … ?”

Waking up, she blinked as if it was difficult to grasp the situation.

The question that popped up on her face was, ‘Why is it so early in the morning?’

He must have been collecting badges just a little while ago.

I had no choice but to let her know the unbelievable reality.

“did you sleep well?”

“… !!!!”

* * *

About an hour and a half left until the end of the exam.

As the day dawned, it was impossible to collect any more, so we set out to find other cadets.

“… that.”

“… … ?”

When our eyes met, Yuriel lowered her head and said.

“sorry.”

When asked why he didn’t wake me up, he said, “I didn’t wake him up on purpose because I felt like I was knocked out from being too tired.”

“Because it’s okay.”

No matter how many times I said it was okay, the sinful look on her face didn’t go away.

To the extent that my conscience stings for lying.

‘I’m sorry… .’

Seeing myself blaming myself several times, I sincerely apologized in my heart.

how long has it been like that

The green signal flared, signaling the end of the exam, and we returned to the academy early in the morning after completing the three-day exam.

* * *

“Submit them in groups.”

“yes!”

At the words of the supervisor, each group submitted a bag containing a badge.

As a result, the cadets who had all their badges taken away and had nothing to submit looked at the cadets lined up with envy.

“I will submit Article 1.”

Cheolguk!

“Hmm?”

The overseer’s eyebrows twitched at the unimaginable weight.

He carefully looked at me and Uriel, and gestured to go.

Upon returning to the gymnasium, the cadets, exhausted from the three-day training, were nodding off.

Unwillingly (?) among them, it’s just me and Yuriel who slept soundly at night.

When the exam is over, why don’t you let me rest right away?

Yuriel, who came closer, spoke as if reading my thoughts.

“Rankings are usually announced right away.”

“okay?”

“yes. They said it was because giving a postponement to the announcement could cause dishonest things to happen.”

got it right away

And as she said, the rankings were announced right away.

First of all, from the group without a badge at all.

From then on, the higher ranked groups were called sequentially.

“Seventeenth. 77 trillion eight.”

… … .

… … .

“Third place. 33 Articles 24″

“Second place. Twenty-one trillion twenty-seven.”

In a situation where only 1st place was left, the distance between the instructor’s foreheads, who had been calling the ranks, narrowed in an instant.

“hmm?”

And then, with a puzzled expression on his face, he suddenly left the place.

Among the buzzing students, Yuriel spoke softly so that only I could hear.

“I must have been surprised.”

I know.

The instructor appeared after a while.

“No. 1… .”

He paused for a moment, then continued talking while looking in the direction where Yuriel and I were.

As if he couldn’t believe what he was saying, he kept nodding his head.

“group 1. 119.”
