Academy Light Attribute Vampire

50 – Martial Arts Tournament (8)

Ugh…

It’s dazzling.

-Brush.

‘What is…’

Come to your senses and open your eyes.

“…A familiar ceiling.”

I was indebted to you for a while after the last mentoring practice,

I woke up on a bed inside the medical room.

“… Ha ha.”

Every time I do something like this, I get knocked down…

I feel like I still have a long way to go.

Looking around,

For now, there is no one.

‘… Seongjin?’

He was also bleeding profusely, so he must have been brought along.

‘How long has it been?’

The moment you look into your smartwatch to check the time.

“…Ugh.”

130 Missed messages.

Looking at the contents of the text,

From the members of Team 2 to the four Taeyang members who came to watch.

There were text messages saying hello to several people.

‘But…’

Nuna – 96 unread messages.

… When did you learn to text?

Anyway, it’s too bad that he collapsed for a while…

“Wait.”

The date the message was received…

Three days ago.

‘What is it?’

I was bedridden for three days?

Then the game…?

I got up quickly, opened the door to the medical room, and ran out.

– Drooling!

While running, operate the smartwatch to call Selina.

Tiririri.

Click.

-…Hello?

“Oh, it’s me…”

-Ha… Are you awake now? Are you okay with your body?

“Yeah… I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it, but how was the game?”

-… You’re really okay, right? Then come to the arena, because everyone is gathered now.

Stadium.

Looking at the sounds around me, it seems that the sophomore competition is in progress.

“Okay, I’ll go to the stadium then.”

Dude.

As I hurriedly passed the stadium ticket office and moved toward the spectator seats,

Team 2 and Selina waved at the middle seat.

“Rye! Are you awake?!”

“Oh! Did you just see that? Catching arrows in the air?!”

“Yeah.. I’m fine now…”

“Oh, what a waste! That’s missing.”

… But I came back after lying down for three days,

Except for Elena and Morhan, they are treated too well.

“Guys… I’m here.”

“Huh? What is it, wait..!”

Neneto is focusing on the match in front of him without hesitation.

“Hey, isn’t that a little too much?”

… The other day he came to visit me in the hospital.

As I pout and mutter,

Selina, who was sitting quietly watching the game, opened her mouth.

“That’s right, because if you do anything, you’ll collapse.”

“Selina… It’s not like Rai fell down on purpose…”

“… It’s just like that, I’m always overdoing it…”

She

Pretends not to, but Selina seems to be quite concerned too.

In the first place, the text message came 3 times a day…

By the way.

“Right!! You did it?!”

“No! That spell!”

Neneto and Bella,

I don’t think those guys really cared at all.

‘… Is it a beast race?’

It’s also true that it’s not something worth overdoing anyway.

Should I watch the game too?

“Oh.”

Just finished the quarterfinals,

The final was about to begin.

Kaela-senpai and the humans coming up the arena…

‘… Is it a wizard?’

A male senior wearing a robe presumed to be a wizard.

It seems that Erica-senpai and white-haired senior were eliminated.

‘… I wanted to see the seniors fight too.’

I feel very uncomfortable because I feel like I’m only seeing the ending scene of a cartoon I’ve been wanting to see.

Still, where to watch the finals?

-Ready!

Oh.

At the same time as the start, Kaela-senpai pulls her sword from her waist.

‘Kaela-senpai also uses a knife…’

Well,

It’s strange that Kaela, a follower of Adela, uses a weapon other than a sword.

And the other side.

-Sir… To…

‘…?’

It’s like memorizing some sort of prayer…

-Start!

-Kulleong.

At the same time as it started, an unpleasant aura spread over the arena.

‘…This.’

Let’s turn our heads and look at Elena,

She stared into the arena with a stiff face.

“Helena… this.”

“Yes..”

That energy at that time.

“…Selina, that senior…”

“… Up until now, I’ve been normally using magic, but suddenly the atmosphere…”

As the battle progresses, a black hand jumps out from the wizard senior’s back.

I used unusual magic to pressure Kaela-senpai, but

The match ended with senior Kayla winning the match with a combination of blood magic and swordsmanship.

‘… There is no significant change in power.’

But.

There is no doubt that the influence of ‘Dimension’ is also affecting the inside of the school.

Unaware of that fact, Kayla-seonbae waved her hand toward her audience, showing off her bright smile.

-Waaa!!

-Kaela! Kayla!

‘… It was something that would happen, sooner or later, anyway.

Don’t react too hastily, let’s come up with countermeasures.’

At that time.

-Titling!

I checked my smart watch, and there was a text message from Professor Bergen.

-… When did you wake up, I should have sent you to contact me when you wake up.

Ah, that’s right.

But how did you know?

Looking around,

I see Professor Bergen sitting on a bench next to the stadium waiting area and looking this way.

“…You have good eyes.”

“Why?”

“I got a text from Professor Bergen, asking me to come to the waiting room after lunch?”

“Oh, I guess it’s because of the award ceremony.”

“Was the prize won and two runners-up…? It’s a shame.”

“Well, I didn’t care that much in the first place…”

Whew.

With a sigh, Selina continued her words.

“There will be some problems with the pressure from the family, but… It will be fine.”

“…In the house?”

What does Selina’s family have to do with Selina winning an award?

“… But one question will be answered.”

“What?”

“What are you two talking about? Let’s go to lunch quickly!”

“That’s right, it’s hard to get a seat during lunchtime in the middle of a game!”

In the end, without knowing what they were talking about, they were dragged out and taken to a restaurant.

And…

“Ah.. It was delicious!”

After the meal,

I’m going to say hello to everyone before I go into the waiting room.

-Kok.

Bell came over quietly and began to pull on her collar.

“…Why is that?”

“…Winning…Congratulations.”

Huh?

Suddenly?

“Thanks, Bell.”

“…Yes.”

Bell nodded once and said,

She rummaged through the little cross-body bag she wore next to her and started looking for something.

Brush-

From noble mtl dot com

“…? What is it?”

Chuck.

What came out of the cross bag was a small box the size of Bell’s palm.

“Congratulations…Gift…”

“…Are you giving it to me?”

Nodding.

I received a small box and carefully opened it.

Inside the box was a ring with a brilliant blue gem embedded in it.

‘…Artifact?’

Come to think of it, this jewel… I think I’ve seen it somewhere.

“Oh.”

When I gifted Morhan an artifact within functionality,

It is the Yeti’s magic stone that he gave to Bell after searching through her bag.

Then this…

“…Favour…Not yet repaid…”

“Could it be that you’ve been busy lately with making this?”

Nod.

… This is a little touching.

That unsociable Bell made an artifact like this for me and gave it as a gift…

Let’s put a ring on her index finger,

“… It doesn’t work?”

“… For proposal… Ring finger…”

“Hey.”

“…A joke.”

Bell took her ring and rubbed the right side with mana.

The hole in the ring was slightly wider.

“…Here.”

Chuck.

“Oh, how pretty?”

Basically, a point is given with a blue jewel on a white base.

I like the fresh design.

“…When mana is full… Freeze magic can be used.”

“…Really?”

This is a gift I really like.

‘…A cute guy.’

As I approached Belle and stroked her hair,

At some point, the gathering time was approaching.

“I have to go now, thank you very much for the gift, I will treat it carefully.”

“…Yes.”

Let’s break up with the party and go to the waiting room.

In the waiting room, Professor Bergen and I, Seong Jin-ha,

And senior Kaela and the gloomy human senior.

There were only 5 people gathered like this.

“… I will explain the award ceremony procedure today, in front of an honored guest, so that no mistakes can be made.”

.

Anyway, this guy.

I turn my head and meet Seong Jin-ha’s eyes.

“…What.”

“No, just.”

Fortunately, losing the game doesn’t seem to change people.

He is listening to Professor Bergen’s explanation with a blunt expression as always.

“…Concentrate, Rai.”

“Yes.”

After briefly receiving training on award procedures and etiquette from Professor Bergen,

We moved into the arena.

-Waaa!!

As always, there were a lot of people in the bleachers.

A closer look reveals that the giant Morhan and his friends,

I was also able to find the four members of the sun guild who had come to see it.

“…They’re more excited.”

In the case of Elena and Bella, they jumped up from their seats and started screaming in this direction.

-Rye!!!

‘… It’s a little embarrassing, but thank you.’

Apart from Bella, even Elena…

Trumbling.

I moved my steps towards the podium prepared on the right side of the stadium.

Two second-year seniors stand side by side first, followed by first-year me and Seong Jin-ha.

‘… I’m a little nervous just standing there like this.’

The only award I received was one perfect attendance award in high school.

And as time passed,

Veronica stepped onto the podium and took her microphone.

-Ah. Hello.

Veronica’s voice echoed through the speakers inside the arena.

– Today, the martial arts competition has finally come to an end.

Originally, I, the head of the academy, was going to host the award ceremony, but…

Remedy.

Veronica points at her fingertips,

The queen in a long dress and Adela in formal attire were walking.

-Today’s certificate award will be awarded directly by the Queen of Merveus Kingdom, Merveus di Diana.

– Clap clap clap clap.

With the resounding applause,

The Queen and Adela stepped onto the podium.

By the way.

-Ssik.

On the way up the podium,

The queen met her eyes and smiled at me with her playful expression.

‘…?’

Why does that person smile like that when he sees me?

At the same time, naturally make eye contact with Adela next to you.

“…”

Something was making a complicated expression.

‘…Are you angry?’

No, rather than angry…

Without a moment to think, the awards ceremony began.

First of all, from the second year.

– Chuck.

Queen Diana stood in front of two sophomores holding a certificate and medal.

“We will start awarding certificates from now on.”

First of all, the second place.

“Name, Choi Jun-seong. This student achieved second place in the second grade through the martial arts competition,

I commend you for that work. I will give you certificates and medals.”

As instructed by Professor Bergen in advance.

After saying a proper greeting,

After the queen hugged her lightly, she placed a silver medallion on her chest.

“Congratulations.”

“…Thank you.”

– Clap clap clap clap!

… It really feels like receiving an award in high school.

Although it is different in that it is given by the queen rather than her grandfather’s principal…

“Next.”

Next, it’s Kaela-senpai’s turn.

“Name. Merveus di Caella.”

…Huh?

“Because this student achieved the top grade of the 2nd year through the martial arts competition,

I commend you for that work. I will give you certificates and medals.”

Wait a minute.

“…Congratulations.”

“Thank you, sister.”

– Clap clap clap clap!

Without time to panic, the queen stood in front of Seong Jin-ha.

“Your name is Seong Jin-ha. …I will give you a certificate and a medal because I achieved the grade of second place in the first year.”

What suddenly comes to mind is the conversation with Selina before lunchtime.

-There may be some problems because the family presses so hard… But it will be fine.

“Congratulations, Jinha.”

“Thank you…”

– Clap clap clap clap!

In the end, my turn came.

Queen Diana walked naturally in front of me.

-Smiley.

You gave me the mischievous smile you showed me earlier.

“Now, Adela. Now it’s your turn.”

I passed the certificate and medal to Adela next to me.

-???

Senior Kaela, who was by the Queen’s sudden sudden action, as well as

There was a commotion even in the bleachers.

-… What?

– Why Adela wonders all of a sudden?

‘… Please.’

When I turned her head, I wondered how much she knew.

Veronica also sends a mischievous smile.

‘… These people are real.’

Anyway, it seems to be a collaboration between the two.

– Chuck.

When I look up, I see Adela holding a certificate and a medal.

Not wearing armor,

Clean formal wear that feels like a black suit.

And then, Adela’s mouth began to open.

“Full name. Martina di Rai.”

-???

-Uh… ?

“…Since this student achieved the top grade in the first year through the martial arts competition,

I commend you for that work. I will give you certificates and medals.”

Every single word leaked out of Adela’s mouth.

Senior Kaela, who was standing right next to her, as well as the audience, was shocked.

“Wait… What now?”

When Kaela senior opened her mouth, ignoring etiquette.

“Shh.”

Queen Diana stopped Kayla’s actions.

Prison.

Adela gave me a light hug.

… It wasn’t a problem because it was an action that was included in the award process.

…The hug is a little long.

And

-Koo Woo-wook.

“Who… Who?”

I hear Adela’s quiet voice in my ears.

“… If I admit it, if I push myself like this next time.”

Aww.

“At that time, as an older sister, I won’t sit still…”

Creepy.

‘…It’s snowing… I’m dying…’

Adela, who had been pressuring her to the point where it was difficult to breathe, quietly slipped from her arms.

Whoa.

“…Congratulations, Rai.”

A look of relief, yet a sad expression.

“…Thank you.”

One last time Adela puts a gold medallion on her chest herself.

-Then, I will declare the end of the martial arts competition!

With Veronica’s voice, the martial arts tournament came to an end.

“See you next time!”

The Queen and Adela return to their original positions.

And I returned to the waiting room.

“…”

In the waiting room, 3 people except Seong Jin-ha were receiving hot attention.

‘It’s ruined.’

I was hoping that such a big incident would end smoothly,

The Queen and Adela detonated the bomb at the last minute.
