Academy Light Attribute Vampire

13 – Team Formation (2)

“The time is next week. The location is near the outskirts of Merhem.

Remaining gates refer to gates where monsters only occasionally pop out after a long time has passed.

Since the active players have to attack the critical gate in real time, this follow-up is handled as a test or practice at the academy.

“The team is composed of 5 people, 3 people from each martial arts department, 1 person from tactics department, and 1 person from production department.”

“And given the nature of the A.B.C class gathering in one place to take the test. To balance the team, we will form a team through the ‘point auction system’. Let everyone gather in the auditorium.”

Point auction system.

This method is mainly used in academy practice to balance the team.

Tactics that become the team’s order and one student starts with a certain number of points for each rank.

Looking at the profiles of students from the Department of Martial Arts and Production that appear on the screen in the auditorium

It is to complete the team by conducting an auction with points.

After a break of about 10 minutes. All first graders gathered in the auditorium.

‘It’s crowded with about 200 people gathered in one place.’

Unlike the martial arts and production department students who were chatting on the benches on the second floor, the tactics department students were already struggling with their headaches.

‘Wow…’

As expected, it’s a lot of acquisitions.

One tactical student was sitting in about 20 places where tactical students were sitting.

Beside it were four empty chairs set side by side.

‘Are you saying that if you are selected, you should move to the team right away?’

Neneto… Is Team 1. Is it 1 team because you are 1st place? It’s intuitive.

-Ah.

Professor Bergen’s voice rang through the speakers in the auditorium.

-Each tactic and team leader bid 1 point to see if the smart watch and auditorium screen are connected.

A temporary profile appeared on the screen in the auditorium.

‘…Why is the temporary profile the head of the academy?’

Veronica’s profile showing a V with a bright smile suitable for her age.

‘… Keep your body tight. Elderly.’

At the same time as the temporary profile was uploaded, tactics and students bid points.

-Didling! Ddling! Ddling!

With numerous ringing sounds, the bidding amount of each team increased and decreased, indicating whether or not to bid.

– Became. Looks like no problem. Then I will start after a 10 minute break.

‘What are you nervous about?’

At first glance, this auction can be thought of as a fierce competition to take top students.

In reality, it is hard to see it that way.

I don’t know if the team formation practice test is a confrontation with another group.

This is because teamwork is more important than individual brute force to defeat the remaining gates.

A test where the key is to build a well-balanced team with limited points.

‘Of course, it’s natural that the higher the rank, the more popular it is.’

I looked at the remaining points of each team on the screen.

Team 1 – 300 points Team 2 – 310 points…. 42 Teams – 420 points.

There was no big difference in the number of points held than expected.

However, in a situation where recruitment is decided by a difference of 5 points, which is the minimum upper bid, even a difference of 20 points will give you a significant strategic advantage.

In the seat next to me, the martial arts students were talking.

“Hey, how many points can I sell for?”

“You’ll probably miss the bid? Or 10 points for getting lucky and misplacing?”

“This bastard has been babbling about being 2nd higher than me in the rankings since last time! Seriously.”

“If it is twisted, it is 2nd place high, or if it is twisted, it is 2nd place high.”

“You bastard… But why do you say it twice?”

Each one was whispering about how many points he or she would be bidding on, or even making a bet with points.

Of course. I didn’t have any friends to talk to like that.

Bella, who is at least capable of chatting like this, is chatting away with her friends from far away.

‘… Life.’

“..It doesn’t matter how many points you sell for.”

I’m surprised.

At some point, Selina came up to me.

‘But why is he being so friendly to me..?’

Selina, who was described as a mid-boss in the novel and only showed a side close to her villain.

She must have been creating a faction structure out of Kirna and this time around this time she was mingling with the vampire horde…

“Really… What a pitiful life.”

‘… That’s as far as I can say.’

Although he usually smiles gently and attracts everyone. It’s a bit scary to see a little bit of a twisted look that only shows me from time to time.

“Well. We are not the ones who have the right to decide anyway.”

Point auctions are not purely for fun or equity.

Ya Gate. In other words, if you put it into practice, you must follow the words of the team leader, which is the order, unconditionally for the balance of the team.

Some teams have a semi-order position, but in a real game where a moment of hesitation can lead to a major accident, the risk of questioning or disobeying the team leader is very high.

So, from now on, it is the team leader who organizes the team and establishes the strategy. It is to hang an unspoken hint that

‘The Academy is not a higher education institution for nothing.’

And then 10 minutes passed. Auction has started.

– Click.

——————–

No department.

Name: Meirin.

Type: Human.

Position: Lineman.

Using weapon: Unwoldo

Ranked 94th.

—————-

Tee-Ring-

“21 Teams, 15 points.”

Tee-Ring-

“13 Teams, 20 points.”

-… 13 Teams won the bid.

The auction went fast.

It is still in the early stages of the auction. Because there are so many people left.

Due to the nature of the department of martial arts, as many as three people had to be recruited, the bid was successful at a relatively low price.

Because the production department was organized to suit the team, it tended to be awarded at a high price.

And.

A big deal came out.

——————

No department.

Name: Grade.

Type: Vampire.

Position: Rearguard. Assistant.

Used weapon: Dagger.

Ranking. 2Nd place.

——————

The auditorium went silent all at once.

First single-digit rankings.

The first team to bid was 1 team. It was Neneto.

-The ring.

“1 Team. 50 Points.”

50 Points.

You may think it’s small at first glance, but it’s a martial arts department that needs to recruit three people. It was just the starting price of the auction.

The tactics department students showed a little hesitation…

-The ring.

“60 Points for 11 teams.”

-Gee-Ring

“75 Points for 31 teams.”

Competition accelerated.

In the end, Grade was recruited for 16 teams at a staggering price of 105 points.

A decent personality with excellent skills and no problems communicating with others.

It is strange that he is not popular.

After that, the auction continued…

Some teams were nearing completion, while others were saving points.

Team 1, Neneto, was in a situation where they had recruited an appropriate avant-garde ax warrior ranked 55th in the rankings.

And…

Team 2 – Remaining points 310 points.

The only thing that naturally stands out is the two teams that haven’t recruited a single player.

The team leader of Team 2 was Mirae Yoon.

‘What is he thinking..?’

It was then.

– Click.

————————

Name: Rai

Type: Vampire.

Position: Rearguard. Assistant.

Weapon Used: None.

Ranked 3rd.

————————

My profile appeared on the screen.

I didn’t know it when I was looking at the other kids, but I was quite ashamed to see a picture of my face openly displayed like this.

-Wow..

At the same time, an exclamation was heard from the bench across the street.

-The ring.

“100 Points for 1 team.”

…? Did you hear me wrong?

-The ring.

“2 Teams 120 points.”

‘What… What are you guys doing?’

Neneto clicked his tongue and raised his bid.

-The ring.

“150 Points per team.”

Not to be outdone by that, Mi-rae Yoon also glanced at Neneto and followed him.

-Gee-Ring

“200 Points for 2 teams.”

200 Points.

It was a difficult bid even for high-ranking students in the production department.

Neneto opened her mouth as she glared at Yoon Mirae.

“…You.”

Yoon Mi-rae also answered right away with a smile that made Neneto slightly upset.

“Why? Any inconvenience?”

“It’s great.. The expenses are bigger than expected.”

-Gee-Ring

“250 Points per team.”

At this point, not only the martial arts students, but also the tactical students who had been tinkering with smart watches were dumbfounded.

…200 Points just to recruit 1 rearguard.

Tactics, 1st and 2nd ranks were roaring at each other in an act that could not be called a strategic choice even with empty words.

-Gee-Ring

“2 Teams 275 points.”

“Damn it…”

Neneto, who recruited one of the vanguards, had 270 points left.

A situation where you can no longer raise your bid even if you want to.

-..Team 2 won the bid.

“…”

‘What is this…’

“…You have to move. In two teams.”

‘No, I’m really stupid…’

“Unfortunately, it will be difficult to be on the same team.”

I guess so. Selina is ranked 6th. With the small amount of points left by the 2nd team, it would be difficult to properly recruit her, let alone Selina.

“… Ha ha.”

I let out a sigh and went down the stairs to the bench of the second team.

It stings the countless gazes that are focused on me.

What is this guy doing with 275 points? Would be the thoughts

‘… I don’t know about these.’

As I walked right, I saw Yoon Mi-rae waving at me and smiling.

“…Why did you do this?”

“…Was a strategic enough choice.”

..Strategic b*tch.

Now, the remaining points for Team 2 are 35 points.

To be honest, it was ruined.

That too was ruined.

With this point, if you do well, you have to hire one useful avant-garde, or choose the rest from among the students who failed.

I sit blankly on the bench of the 2nd team and watch the flowing screen.

‘Ah. I think he’s fine too… 50 Points…’

No matter how much I try to get over it, it’s complicated no matter how much I think about it.

‘I never thought Yoon Mi-rae would become a troll..’

It was then.

– Click.

——————————–

Name: Morhan.

Race: Dwarf.

Position: Lineman.

Using weapon: Anything.

Ranking. 56Th.

Note: Cannot speak.

———————-

“Huh?”

That’s it.

Morhan was a 2M giant who blew away the opponent’s weapon in one shot in the arena last time.

A gigantic kidney that can’t be thought of as a dwarf.

The ranking is 56th, which is not bad, but everyone was too hasty to bid.

There is a reason why it seems unprofessional because it says that the weapon used is not particularly different, but the biggest reason is.

‘Do not speak’ written in the precautions

Mor Han couldn’t speak because the mana circuit inside his body was twisted by nature.

As it was a task that had to be performed as a team, the lack of communication skills was enormous.

But why am I remembering it in such detail?

Of course, I remember it because it was a named character that had a lot of weight in the novel.

In the war at the end of the novel, a steel knight who silently defended enemies in front of him while wearing armor.

‘Iron Heart Morhan’ was feared by enemies during the war. He plays an active role as a ‘steel weapon master’.

“… Bid.”

“Yes?”

“Morhan is needed for Team 2. Bid.”

“That’s what… I’m the one who makes the team.”

“So I burn 275 points for just one rearguard…?! I’ll guarantee your skills, so make a bid quickly!”

“That… I get it first.”

Yoon Mi-rae hurriedly manipulated her smart watch with a slightly flustered appearance.

-The ring.

“2 Teams 10 points.”

-… 2 Teams won the bid.

Morhan, who was on the brink of a failed bid, immediately won the bid.

Shortly thereafter, Morhan with a huge body trudged over from the second floor and sat down on the bench of the second team.

‘…The chair won’t break, right?’

I looked at Morhan, who was sitting next to me.

Looking at it up close, the body feels bigger. But I don’t think he looks dull.

If you look closely at the well-built skeleton, you can clearly see the handsome face.

…The eyes met.

“Hello. It’s fate that we became a team like this, so please take good care of us.”

As I greeted him, Mor Han smiled bitterly, raising the corner of his mouth slightly.

I think he has a good personality because he’s big and can’t talk.

“…Hello, anyway, we’ve become a team, so let’s do our best.”

Despite Yun Mi-rae’s slightly chilly welcome, Mor Han merely nodded her head.

Now all you have left is 25 points…

Looking around, most of the teams were in the process of being completed.

Neneto’s first team also has only one rear guard left.

– Click.

——————

Name: Seong Jin-ha.

Type: Vampire.

Position: Lineman.

Weapon Used: Sword.

Ranking. 1St.

——————

The first place in the ranking has appeared.

Students, who were tired of the long auction, began to pay attention all at once.

1St grade in 1st grade.

Simply looking at the rankings, it is overwhelming.

But Sungjin is Sungjin.

“…”

A situation where no one is willing to bid.

It was a natural result if it was natural.

Seong Jin-ha, who has the title of No. 1, Received a considerable amount of attention from her first day.

However, Seong Jin-ha, who ‘ignored’ all that attention, was already famous among the first graders as a child alone.

No matter how good your skills are, it’s obvious that you won’t listen to the team leader’s words as well as the atmosphere of the team the moment you recruit them.

‘Oh… Jinha.’

It’s a situation that can be said to be self-sufficient enough, but…

-Gee-Ring

“2…. 29 Teams, 10 points.”

-… 29 Teams won the bid.

29 Teams bid, no matter how bad it was, as if it was a waste to let the bid go unnoticed.

Top ranking is 10 points.

Of course, the third place in the ranking is 275 points, but…

Sung Jin-ha quietly came down as if nothing had happened, sat down on the bench of Team 29, and immediately closed his eyes.

The 29 team members are struggling.

“Why is he really like that…”

“…Well, I’m sure you’re good at it.”

Now the auction is almost at its end.

‘It’s time to come out soon…’

– Click.

——————————————–

Name: Elena.

Race: Elf.

Position: Assistant.

Weapon Used: None.

Ranking. 128Th.

——————————————–

It came out.

The person I was desperately looking for.

“Bid.”

“Yes..? No, you’re the last one! You really…”

“Anyway, listen to what you’ve heard once.. It’s hard to recruit a proper guy with the remaining points anyway.”

“Ha.. I don’t know anymore. Originally, I was going to recruit an assistant in the 90th, but… You chose it, so don’t blame me later?”

-The ring.

‘It’s fortunate.’

I never thought there would be a way to get this close.

Elena is a ‘fairy sorcerer’ that is essential for future developments.

She’s the last one who thinks she can’t do anything because she doesn’t have the power to respond to spirits.

As the story progresses, the existence of ‘Helena’ becomes indispensable.

‘And above all.’

Elena I never read a novel.

She was my ‘best b*tch’ who left angry comments at the writer Nom when she died.

“Ah..Hello! You chose me..”

Her white, platinum-footed hair and her fluttering pointed ears symbolize her elves.

The embarrassingly swaying marigold colored eyes brought her peace of mind to the viewer.

And above all, a very aggressive thing that doesn’t go well with an innocent-looking face…

‘Ah. Is this a successful virtue or something..?’

In front of my eyes, that Elena is alive and breathing.

‘Dogs are cute… Really.’

That’s how Elena joined our team.

After that. In the end, our team with only 15 points left failed in the production and scramble for recruiting.

The 41st production and one dwarf were automatically recruited.

..In fact, the ranking that can be called production and last.

“…Nice to meet you.”

A cute voice that claims that her gender is definitely female.

Slightly bronzed skin, messy white hair, and a small body unique to a dwarf.

In sleepy, half-closed eyes, golden eyes that had lost their life were staring at me.

“…Bell Mirne.”

After a brief self-introduction. Belle Myrne, as if everything was bothering her, stretched out on two of her benches.

“Um… over there, right there…”

Elena stands in a hurry because her seat was taken away, and Belle Myrne, who fell asleep as if she couldn’t hear her.

With Morhan, who quietly gave her place.

Yoon Mirae holding her forehead and muttering ‘..This isn’t it’

…. The dream team is complete.
