Academy Light Attribute Vampire

123 – The Iron Knight

At that time.

At the academy head’s office, who heard the news.

“Ha.. Headmaster! Calm down a bit!”

“Do I look real now?! Bergen!! Where is Professor Bergen!”

Veronica’s angry voice resounded as she realized that she had been tricked by the collaboration between Bergen and Rai.

“That… I just put in a call and still no response…”

“It’s not supposed to be in the academy! Find it right now and be in front of me…!!”

At that time.

-Kiik.

An elf teacher who had been ordered to bring Veronica’s Rai friends opened the door and came in.

“The principal…? The children are listening at the door.”

“Ah… Already? Big enough…! Send them inside.”

“Yes. Then.”

As the elf teacher bowed his head and went outside,

Soon after, three female students came into the dean’s office.

Mi-rae Yoon and Bell,

And Kirna and Neneto.

All four members practiced as a team, or

Except for the three who are currently in Merveus, the first-year students were often seen hanging out together.

The reason why I suddenly called these children,

It was to ask if he had heard anything directly from Rai.

But the answer came back…

“I don’t have one.”

“…Not at all.”

“Eh..? Did Lai have another accident?”

Answers from Mirae Yoon, Bell, and Neneto, respectively.

Especially in the case of Neneto, it seems like he didn’t even check the community because he was reading a book a while ago.

I didn’t even know what was going on.

And Miss Kirna…

“…”

As if to appeal with all my might, ‘I’m very angry right now, but I’m holding back because I’m in front of the head of the school’.

I was looking nervously out the window with an expression that was not very good for anyone to see.

“That… Miss Kirna could have told Grade-kun…”

“No.”

“Ah… Yes. Yes.”

Haa…

An official request for support will come in soon from the Merveus family.

Because a report from a while ago made it public that a third party had intervened.

It was also after that that the story of the man presumed to be Rai was heard.

At least, even if Lai’s identity was later revealed, it wouldn’t be a political problem.

But…

‘How…?’

Rai knew this would be the case,

Did he act in advance?

…It’s been over a week since I brought this practice plan,

I’m sure Professor Bergen would know.

That time when I was so nervous I tapped the desk with a fountain pen.

“…Wait. But…”

“Yes?”

“Why are only these three people here…?”

Miss Selina and the Morhan archipelago, obviously…

“Cool!”

“Whee…Whee…”

“…?”

From Yoon Mi-rae, who suddenly clears her throat, to Bell, who begins to whistle.

‘Something…’

It was then.

-Beep-!!

Outside the window of the principal’s office,

A familiar cry came through.

“…Is this?!”

Veronica hurriedly got up from the sofa and opened the window to look outside.

-Hyeeeng!!!

A strong wind from something came in through the window, and the curtains and papers on the desk began to blow around.

A huge creature flying in the sky.

Its true identity was a flying dragon that Miss Selina brought back while holding out her guild association’s tamer license.

‘…The name.’

Was it Selah?

But that wasn’t the point right now.

-Shoot aaa!!

A flying dragon flying high through the pouring rain as if there was a hole in the sky, carrying someone along with Miss Selina,

Looking at Professor Bergen breaking through the barrier of the position he was in charge of and flying towards Merveus.

Veronica’s hands began to strain.

Pajik-!

She didn’t even notice that her favorite fountain pen was breaking.

**

– Flash!

Awesome!!

“… A monster.”

‘Thunder’ couldn’t believe what was happening right in front of his eyes.

Thunder.

He was baptized specializing in lightning magic to match his nickname,

I’ve already put the upper magic, Thunder Calling, on the man in front of me several times, but

-Seogeung!!

The result was the same no matter how many times I tried.

Cutting down lightning from the sky.

Things like that were only possible in legends and saga stories.

However, in that miracle that was repeated many times before my eyes,

The morale of the army was drastically plummeting.

A superman who splits bullets and splits lightning.

It was because they knew that it would be useless even if hundreds of people rushed at such an existence.

But.

-Quarrr.

Thunder always follows lightning.

A more powerful additional hit that fell late,

I’m trying to break the magic again like always.

Quaang!!

This time his robes burned black without being able to block the attack.

-…!!!

The sound of shouting coming from the side of the castle wall.

It was probably the cry of the guards who were worried about that man.

‘As expected.’

I was a little skeptical from the beginning.

If you’re that skilled,

It’s not a performance-like act of guarding the front of the bridge, but it can run right away and annihilate us.

In the first place, as a wizard, he would give himself the chance to cast his magic again and again,

It was a nonsensical act.

But as a result of a closer look at the man.

‘I don’t know why… I’m already very hurt.’

A puddle of blood that I initially thought belonged to a stupid human.

But his corpse had already rolled through the mud and drowned in the lake.

Even so, the rain water that was pooling under the man was still bloody.

About two rooms ahead.

If you wait for mana to recover and cast magic,

I was able to capture the checkpoint before the neutral forces arrived.

But even the time to recover mana twice was a waste,

Thunder started to provoke Rai using voice amplification magic.

“… That looks tough.”

Then,

“Doesn’t it make you nervous when you see him suddenly talking to you?”

An answer came back from Lai.

“…That’s arrogant. He said he would spare his life if he retreated even now.”

Actually, as the thunder said,

Rai’s condition was not very good.

“…Cool.”

To rot…

Now, even the fluttering threads are becoming more and more blurry.

– I forgot.

From noble mtl dot com

The light flowing from the Holy Sword also began to shake unsteadily.

-…Rye! More dangerous…

“…!! Is…”

Is it a symptom of tinnitus caused by the continuous sound of thunder coming in close?

The voices of Leah and Grade also became hazy.

“…Ah.”

Am I speaking…?

I don’t know.

Did you say that sound is vibration?

But the raindrops that kept pounding on my body,

I didn’t even feel the vibration of my legs, which weakened every time the light of the holy sword went out.

My senses gradually became dull.

“Ha ha…”

Is that why?

Not being able to hear the sound of lightning falling from the sky.

“…!!!”

Boom!!

With the sudden pain I felt, my vision changed.

“…THIS!!!!…!!!”

I wonder if it came towards me before I knew it,

I could see Grade rolling over me while still saying something.

-Jijik!!

When I turned my head, I saw sparks flying in the puddle I was standing in.

Looks like Grade threw himself and saved me from the range of lightning.

“…Thank you.”

-Fishik.

Quarrr

Looking at the back of Grade, who was half-rising and suffering to absorb the impact of the thunder that fell behind him,

The first thing that came to mind was sorry.

If I hadn’t brought you on this expedition…

No,

Fredrica If it hadn’t been for the variable called that f*cking lizard b*tch…!!

In any case, it was my own fault for not handling variables properly.

“…Sorry…Ha”

That’s when I was about to open my mouth to apologize to Grade.

– Sloppy!!

Suddenly, mud splashed and the world turned black.

“…?”

Let’s look up towards the grade who is shouting something.

In front of us, a huge figure was standing in front of us, watching the approaching soldiers.

An armor that feels huge and feels great.

In addition to that, there is an unidentified huge wooden box carried on the back.

It was a full-body armed that no one could recognize,

For some reason, Rai knew who the man in front of him was.

“…Morhan?”

-Clap!

As the giant knight threw off his helmet,

As expected, Morhan’s face was revealed.

“…You. How is this…”

**

Two days ago.

Mi-rae Yoon plays Morhan and Bell. And he called Selina and Neneto together.

The four people who were suddenly summoned were embarrassed,

Since it was a call from Mi-rae Yoon, who hadn’t done anything like this before, she was bewildered and answered the call.

I know one fact there.

Tak!

“…I don’t know if this guy is smart or stupid.”

Yoon Mirae’s smart watch on the table.

And that smart watch…

– Beep!

The location was shared during the previous club incident,

Rai’s current location was emerging in real time.

“Practice…? In the world, what kind of practice is the Reflekain family doing? And at such a sensitive time?”

Yoon Mi-rae’s words were enough to spark suspicion for everyone.

And.

“…By the way, it was the day before the practice was decided, right?”

“Isn’t it?”

“By the way, Rai. Haven’t you been hanging out with Grade or Jinha for the past week?”

“…”

“As if… I knew the members of the practice beforehand.”

Through Neneto’s remarks, everyone was convinced.

The conviction that Rai must be doing something while keeping it a secret from them.

“… What should I do?”

“…Lai…I’m hurt again…I’m sad…”

“It hasn’t been a day or two since Rai did this… But this time it’s a war.

If you don’t, it can lead to really serious problems.”

Bulkkeok-!

The first thing I woke up from was,

Surprisingly, it was Bell, not Selina.

“… I… Will help…”

“…Bell?”

“Wait a minute Bell.”

– Chuck!

“Even blindly helping… It could actually get in the way. So…”

– Chow!!

“…Let’s plan a plan.”

After that, the strategy and the plan that Neneto, the first and second ranks put their heads together, was like this.

First, I needed a means to break through the barriers of the academy.

And the second. Currently, the use of ID cards for academy cadets was prohibited,

So the only way to get to Merveus was on foot.

The person who made this plan feasible.

At least, everyone except Selina lacked the physical condition to reach Merveus on foot in one day.

And Selina…

“…If Selah moves. They will definitely be caught..?”

She was in a position where she and Selah could not be separated.

Then there is only one person left.

“Are you okay?”

– Nod.

Mor Han nodded his head with a serious face.

“Then… All that remains is to break through the academy’s barrier…”

– Chuck.

“What…? You’re going to take care of it?”

And after a while.

“…What is it? Aren’t you our dear disciple?”

Morhan is his mentor,

I went to Professor Mackellan, who has the nickname of Heavenly Sword.

As a third year professor nearing his retirement,

A rare Dwarf warrior who fought while strengthening his weapon like Morhan.

But he wasn’t born with tall stature like Mor Han.

For those unfamiliar with it, it was the appearance of an elementary school student.

“Yes… A friend? Even so, the Bergen guy…”

Professor Mackellan, who heard the whole story from Morhan…

“I understand everything. It’s also a situation where I can help enough.”

But…

-Sueuk.

“If you’re just trying to help a friend, to be honest, I wouldn’t recommend it.

This could be more serious than you think… You…”

Are you prepared for that?

At Professor McKellan’s words, “Think carefully before coming back.”

Forcibly returned to the dormitory, Morhan fell into long agony.

‘…Can I be of any help?’

Isn’t it rather a hindrance to Rai?

If you ever lose someone important to you right in front of your eyes…

Morhan didn’t have the confidence to endure it again.

And then.

“…”

At the end of Morhan’s gaze,

Something precious on the desk caught my eye.

-Sueuk.

A circular object that looks like an ordinary marble in transparent form.

-…I want you to fight by my side.

That night,

The words Rai said to me as he handed me this marble.

As a team, they want me, who everyone shunned in the first place.

-Please take good care of me.

A T-shirt handed to me, who had never received anything from anyone since I was born.

-Now. This. It can be adjusted in size, and if you infuse it with mana, you can lower its body temperature.

You were always sweating inside your armor.

For me,

It was a blissful time.

-…Please.

Mor Han puts strength into her orb-holding hand.

– Clink!!

Breaking down useless worries and hesitations.

At dawn the next day.

“…Be careful.”

Early before classes begin,

Everyone gathered in front of the barrier at the back of the annex where Professor McKellan is in charge.

Seeing off Morhan with an umbrella to prevent the pouring rain.

“Now. This.”

– Chuck.

“…It’s my smart watch. I’ve turned off the security credentials, so if you look at the map, that person’s location will show up.”

“It’s a bit uncomfortable to leave it to Morhan.”

“Neneto, you’re out of breath after walking just one kilometer.”

“…Who said what? By the way… My little boy isn’t coming?”

“Bell is…”

It was then.

-Jereureuk-! Zureuk-!

With the sound of something being dragged into the mud.

“…Ugh..!!”

From the other side,

Bell was seen dragging something huge, soaking wet and without an umbrella.

Let Morhan walk hurriedly and accept the huge wooden box.

“…Morhan.. Weapons..”

Even though Morhan heard it, it felt quite heavy.

“I… Only this…”

Finally,

I don’t know if it’s from severe fatigue or from the pouring rain.

Bell’s tiny body picks up and collapses.

Leaving behind Yoon Mi-rae and Selina running to the health room with serious expressions in their arms.

“… Eggplant.”

When Professor McKellan made a hole in the barrier,

Mor Han looked at the mountain pass in silence, then he began to move his steps.

“Please be careful!! I’ll buy you a meal once you get back!”

“Okay. I’ll teach you my tricks when I get back. Unless, of course, I’ve been fired. And…”

-Shoot aaa!!

“…Don’t die.”

– Nod.

After receiving the last farewell from Nenetto and McKellan,

Morhan started walking down the rugged mountain road.

If I go out on the main road, someone might think I’m suspicious and report me because I’m dressed suspiciously.

I continued to walk down the deserted mountain road fully armed.

If you suddenly disappear while checking the location information of the rai, which is constantly changing,

I just prayed that it wasn’t too late and moved towards the last position of Rai.

And then, around the time Lai’s location began to surface again.

He didn’t move from the same place for a while.

‘… Are you fighting someone?’

Suddenly moving from place to place at great speed,

Soon we settled again in one place.

Pertia checkpoint.

The scenery that Morhan witnessed when he hurriedly turned around and arrived at the Pertia checkpoint.

The almost crumbling walls and panicked guards,

With soldiers presumed to be overwhelmingly human.

Two men under falling lightning.

-Papak!!

A lot of stamina was consumed from walking on the mountain road all night,

Mor Han sped up his steps even more.

– Chuck.

“…Morhan?”

Still alive.

Although it was not in a normal state with blackened hair and an unusual amount of blood loss.

‘…It’s not too late.’

This time.

It’s not too late this time.

A deep puddle of blood a short distance away.

I knew instinctively whose blood it was.

-Steel Puck!

Take off your helmet and stand in a pool of blood.

It was a bit cloudy because of the pouring rain,

There was a line that was clearly engraved on it by someone on purpose.

Who engraved this?

Morhan knew.

That’s why.

-Quaang!!!!

Let’s slam the wooden box tied behind our back to the floor with all our might.

-Damn it!!

Wood splinters and mud splatter everywhere,

Numerous weapons inside the wooden box fly through the air and land on the floor.

-Poo-wook!!

Starting with spears, axes and halberds.

-Hook! Hooked! Pooh!!

Chang-Geurang!

Unusual weapons such as the Unwoldo, Nagiri, Sword, Hammer, and Sword Breaker.

-Ugh!!

From noble mtl dot com

The magic stones that Bell inserted one by one with her small hands,

It began to resonate with the wavelength of Morhan’s mana.

-Ugh!!

Morhan pulled out the weapon he was most confident in, the Helbird.

Whoop!!

Above the blurred lines,

I drew a new clear line so that anyone can recognize it.

Chaw ah!!

It’s okay if you can’t fight beside you.

If only I could protect my friend’s back.

“…”

‘That’s it.’

The Iron Knight.

Ironheart Morhan.

It was the moment I reached the battlefield for the first time.
