The Vampire Is an Academy Honor Student

Chapter 029. chase (2)

I thought about catching it before stealing it, but I decided to take a little longer rather than end it like that.

Even after playing the game a hundred times, I was unaware of the existence of these items.

In other words, this is a kind of item that can never be obtained in the future unless it is Müller.

‘I don’t know the penalty, but… .’

I don’t know where it will be used, but it seems good to get it for now.

Whatever it is, it will be better than falling into the hands of monsters.

And, if possible, I also wanted to know who made Müller a mine and provided information about the item.

When I was chasing after Noah while thinking about this and that.

Noah, who had been ahead of him for a long time, stood still.

When I went next to him, Noah stretched out his finger to one side and asked.

“why?”

-Catch more?

“huh? Oh wait…”

There was a palace in the direction Noah pointed.

I chased after it, thinking of other things, so I didn’t even know where it was heading.

“There’s something to steal.”

He murmured and let out an exclamation of admiration.

Just like I got the orb, I thought it would be hidden in a secret place like a black market, but it wasn’t at all.

“You said you were stealing with this ability?”

“… … .”

I muttered dumbfounded.

However, I thought that the ability itself was definitely worthy of being called a phantom thief.

“You have to follow. But I don’t think I’ll be able to pursue it.”

“?”

It didn’t seem like Müller could call what he did as Noah.

However, it was clear that I couldn’t.

I don’t know if I’m noticing other people’s presence, but I’ve never tried to hide my presence.

-then?

Perhaps in a hurry, Noah glanced in the direction where the young Muller disappeared and asked.

I thought for a moment and then answered.

“I’ll hide in moderation.”

“?”

“Just go. I’ll take care of hiding inside.”

“… … .”

“I’ll take care of you when you come out.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Noah nodded once and immediately followed Müller.

Pew!!

A wind blew from the side and Noah’s model disappeared in an instant.

“then… .”

I’ve been to the royal palace often, so I know the structure like the palm of my hand.

It’s heavily guarded, but I know of only one good hiding place.

He looked up and looked at the tilting moon, inferred the time, and immediately moved.

‘It’s fine.’

The timing wasn’t too bad either.

* * *

“Whoa.”

I sent a group of soldiers and raised my head.

Now all you have to do is go up to the balcony you see above.

Because of the constitution of the owner there, it is the only place where there is no magic tool for guarding, so it is good to hide for a while.

‘It’s quite high, but… .’

Still, it’s high enough to go up for now.

I was able to climb onto the balcony railing by zigzagging through the trees and the outer walls of the building.

“Whoa.”

When I sighed and turned to hide behind a pillar.

An exclamation mixed with bewilderment came out without my knowledge.

“omg.”

“oh?”

The owner of this residence.

It was because the eyes met with the princess who looked up at the sky with a worldly gloomy expression.

It’s been a while to think about why the main character of today’s anniversary has such an expression.

I had a hunch that things were very wrong.

I never thought that a weak person would be awake until now.

“… ????”

soggy.

As if she hadn’t grasped the situation yet, the princess closed her eyes and opened them with question marks on her forehead.

But soon his expression turns pale and he takes a deep breath.

“… !!”

My heart sank, and in an instant, a thousand thoughts came to my mind.

Before I could scream, I covered my mouth.

“… flower! huh!?”

A princess struggling in her arms.

I tried all sorts of resistance, including biting my hands to get out, but it didn’t work very well.

However, untouched curtains and window sills shake weakly as if to represent her fluttering emotions.

Rumble… !

This is not because the wind blew.

‘sh*t. Why did this happen?’

Originally, I was going to visit you after the sujeong plants are all grown, but I met you too early.

It was fortunate that he was wearing a mask at least.

“Ugh, oops!”

Seeing her violently resisting, I felt sorry for making her go through something like this on her birthday.

Of course, I couldn’t let it go, so I waited for it to calm down.

how long has it been like that

The strength drained from her body as if she realized that the resistance was not working.

Instead, tears gather around those pumpkin-sized eyes.

“Huh… .”

After the excitement subsided, it seemed that only then did fear and sorrow take its place.

He slowly loosened his grip on the hand that covered his mouth.

“… ?”

“Shh.”

“Hmm, huh… ?”

Again, while shedding clear tears, he looks up at me with a bewildered expression.

A lot of thoughts crossed my mind at that look.

Iris Barten.

A precious talent who is the second princess of the kingdom and will become a 7th-level wizard in the future.

The number of times she went outside the palace was so few that she could count them on her hands.

It was because she was as sickly as Roan at the time of possession because of the artery she had since birth, and mysterious phenomena always occurred around her.

It was a phenomenon caused by magic not being properly expressed due to the vein, but this was an extremely rare phenomenon among wizards, so no one could tell.

“… … .”

“… ?”

When I took my hands off and didn’t do anything, a bright light slowly started to form in those eyes.

‘under.’

The appearance of being more interested than fearful in an unknown situation certainly resembles that of a wizard.

Squeeze.

Look at me slowly, look at the hem of my clothes, look at it, and observe while tilting your head here and there for a while.

Perhaps realizing that the other person was completely harmless(?), she asked with her golden eyes shining, symbolizing the royal lineage.

“… who are you? you.”

I didn’t answer because I was worried that there might be a problem later if I heard my voice.

Despite being ignored, Iris steadfastly continued to ask questions.

“Where are you from?”

“… … .”

“Are you unable to speak?”

“… … .”

how long has it been like that

The sensor, which had not changed all along, moved. I got up right away at this.

“Are you going?”

Tired of talking alone for a long time, she raised her head and asked.

“… … .”

“… That’s Okay.”

Maybe it’s because it’s the first time I’ve ever experienced something like this since I was born as a princess.

Seeing me not answering this time, she pursed her lips.

‘I’m sorry.’

He smiled bitterly and apologized inwardly. I can’t help it because it’s not the time yet.

Instead, he wrote it briefly on the palm of his hand before leaving.

– See you again.

“?”

Take a moment to think about the meaning of it in a daze.

Although she opened her eyes wide and opened her mouth.

“What does that mean… !”

Instead of listening to the back story, I immediately followed Noah.

* * *

I was able to catch up with Noah by the time I was completely out of the royal road.

“hehehehe.”

“… ?”

For a moment, Noah tilted his head at my tired expression.

She pointed at Müller and said.

– Something was stolen.

“what?”

-… Pipe?

He strengthened his eyesight with mana, and as he said, Muller had a small horn in his hand.

“For now, let’s keep chasing.”

I didn’t see any sign of doing anything right now, so I kept following.

That’s how I entered the beginning of the Goul Mountains, which was connected to the border.

From the moment he entered the mountain range, Müller looked around the stretch.

“… who are you looking for? ah.”

As he said, someone with a robe covering his face soon appeared in front of Muller.

I crouched down with Noah and watched the two of them.

– Mine.

“huh. I saw it too.”

I could tell right away because the hair that was exposed between the robes was black.

Mine’s appearance was not disconcerting. From the beginning, I thought that there was a high probability that Mine was involved.

However, the image of the man talking to Müller was somehow familiar.

“… Let’s go forward a little.”

A corner of my head tickled, and I carefully closed the distance with Noah.

When the distance narrowed to around a hundred meters or so. After midnight, I heard the sound of their conversation due to my extremely sensitive senses.

“You are late.”

“This came as quickly as possible.”

The moment I heard the man’s voice, I knew who he was.

He was a character I often encountered in the early stages of the game.

‘Warren!?’

A demon with a fairly high rank, and at the same time a wizard who has reached the 4th rank.

Compared to other named-class monsters that will appear later, it is a weak one, but it has a unique presence in the early stages.

‘That guy is here.’

He is one of Ymir’s subordinates.

In other words, it means that there was Ymir’s intervention in Müller’s prison break this time.

‘You’ve been active since then?’

There is still more than half a year left until Cale intervenes.

It was the first time I knew today that something like this had been going on before the war even deepened in earnest.

‘… … .’

There was a glint in his two calm eyes.

must die here.

Fighting Hwaran is a high-risk job, but I thought that the loss of sending them alive was greater than that.

It’s because he’s a magician with good acting power, so he has a lot of things to do.

‘It’s better.’

Rather, it may be fortunate that I found it now.

Because Noah was with me now.

If the two of them try hard enough, they can win.

“Noah.”

“?”

After quietly calling Noah, he pointed to the back of Hwaran. Noah nodded his head in understanding.

“be careful.”

-huh.

I quietly waited for the right time as I watched it turn sharply toward the back of the fire after falling back slightly.

“… … .”

I expanded my senses and deliberately cut off my breathing to warm up my body.

After that time passed, when the hands of the magic tool completely pointed to the back of Hwaran, I got up.

Killing as much as possible, he approached Hwaran.

“Let’s move now. … hmm?”

However, Hwaran quickly noticed something strange and looked around, as if it was also lacking in skill compared to Noah.

Since he was originally a demon with excellent senses, he must have sensed the refined life that I radiated.

‘doesn’t care.’

It’s unfortunate, but my role is to get on his nerves anyway.

Soon we met eyes with him.

“hot.”

Hwaran burst into laughter as he approached, blatantly trying to kill himself.

“You’ve got the rat, Müller.”

“what? … What?!”

kicked the ground Hwaran drew his sword almost at the same time.

Caan!!!

After leisurely blocking the attack, Hwaran looked down and asked.

“You see it for the first time. Who are you?”

“… … .”

“Is this the newly created unit of Ian?”

Gaga!!

The swords that met were pushed away from their strength and moved closer to their faces.

He tried to hold on as much as possible while spending mana, but it was not enough.

Hwaran said sarcastically at the overwhelming difference in power.

“A stupid thing.”

“… … .”

“Did you really think you could easily win against Mine?”

Instead of answering, I just rolled my eyes under the mask to check behind him.

After confirming the approach of something so small and fast, he replied.

“well.”

“what?”

For a while, Hwaran frowned at his calm and weak attitude as if he was unaware of the situation.

“Why don’t you watch your back?”

“… !”

Surprised, he pushed his sword aside and turned around.

But there was nothing behind except Müller.

‘Did I cheat?’

It’s been a while since I’ve been angry that a new knight who is not a big deal is doing something that is not the same.

“uh?”

Something was caught in his gut.

A presence that can be felt right above your head.

Took.

It was almost at the same time that something black fell in front of his nose.

“… … .”

“What?!”

I instinctively drew the sword closer to the red eyes that I could see at first glance and set it straight in front of my body, but I couldn’t avoid the assassin’s sword that was already in front of my nose.

Spark!!

Noah’s dagger cut through the island in front of Hwaran.
