Academy Light Attribute Vampire

chapter 14



14 – Team formation (3)

After the team was decided, the two teams gathered at the indoor practice field next to the gym.

The figure changed from school uniform to active clothes that are easy to move.

‘Is that a special production?’

Morhan, dressed in an oversized sweatshirt, was warming up by stretching lightly.

Belle Mirne was staring into space with a dazed expression.

‘…You don’t sleep with your eyes open, do you?’

“What are you doing? Um… So Belle Mirne?”

“Bell…”

“Bell?”

“If it is a bell. Enough.”

Ah. You’re talking about the name

“Yes. I’ll call you Belle from now on. So, is there anything in the air?”

“Idea.. In the making.”

Ah. You were thinking of something. Even if it’s lazy, it’s definitely overproduction.

With that said, Bell stared into the air again and began to blank out.

‘…A peculiar character.’

At that time, Yoon Mi-rae came into the indoor training range wearing active clothes with her hair tied up.

There were quite a few people around, each in a group of five, introducing themselves or picking out weapons.

Everybody must have gathered to check their individual skills and practice after the team was formed.

“First of all, our group is in room number 3. Let’s go in and discuss the details.”

I followed Mi-rae Yoon to room 3. Speaking of a room, it looks like a coin karaoke room number, so it looks narrow at first glance.

Still, since this is an academy, it must have facilities suitable for a practice field.

And then she found Selina and Bella going into Room 5.

These two were recruited into the same team. Surely.. Was it 8 teams?

“Oh! Lida!”

“I see. Is Team 2 also practicing?”

“Yes. We also have to match the sum.”

“A clear team member…”

Selina’s eyes flashed across Team 2’s faces.

Starting with Elena with an anxious expression

Morhan stands there silently looking this way. Even Bell, who was muttering while staring into the air.

“..You must have worked hard.”

“…What do I really like about our team?”

“Lai.. If it’s too hard, tell me! I will consult with you at any time!”

Even you, Bella…!

No, is it really a well-balanced team?

“I’ll see you later at the evaluation test.. You’ll be surprised?”

“Looking at you saying that, it seems like there is something there. I’ll be looking forward to it.”

“Going! See you tomorrow morning!”

So Selina and Bella went into room 5.

“…We go in too.”

… I feel sorry for nothing.

Elena was limp as if she had overheard my conversation.

“I’m sorry.. It’s because of me….”

“What are you talking about? Nothing to worry about”

“Right. If only for one serving.”

Yoon Mi-rae, that’s my pick again.

“For one serving…”

Elena repeated in a low voice.

“Let’s go in quickly.”

Once you check the status of the party, it will be a little different.

When I entered the practice room, there was an interface and a large space where I could set up the training environment or opponent.

“First of all, you have to set up a position, so try standing in your own position.”

As Yoon Mi-rae said, there was Morhan with a training spear in front, and me and Yoon Mi-rae behind him. And Elena and Bell stood side by side in the back.

Standing in two columns behind a huge Morhan.

“…Aren’t they ducklings following the mother duck?”

“..Be serious.”

“Poo Sup!!”

After making a sound all at once, I looked in the direction.

What’s so funny there is Elena covering her mouth with her face blushing.

“… Ms. Elena?”

“I’m sorry. Seriously… Uh…. Fuh.. Uh..”

It seems that the laughter doesn’t stop easily.

“… Ha ha. What to do with monsters? It’s probably a mountain, so a grizzly bear… A goblin or a gnoll?”

“The location is a cave. The monster is Grimlock.”

Grimlock is a humanoid monster that lives in a cave.

A monster with gray skin that resembles a human.

It has poor eyesight, but it has excellent senses, making it a tricky monster to encounter in the dark.

“Grim Rock? Grimlock is definitely a troublesome monster, but in this exercise…”

“It’s easy to destroy play and goblins. Wouldn’t it be better to practice with rather cumbersome monsters?”

This practice begins in the mountains but ends in a cave. It is certain because there was a depiction of difficulties in the picture lock that first graders experience for the first time.

“.. Then, since we need to set up a basic battle frame, let’s practice with goblins and then prepare for Grimlock.”

“Okay. Let’s do it.”

At Yoon Mi-rae and I’s judgment, the other members nodded as if they had no complaints.

And the place is a mountain. Let’s start practicing after manipulating the interface with 4 goblins as monsters.

The scenery turned into mountains in an instant.

Trees growing high everywhere and leaves swaying in the wind.

– Crispy!

Even tree branches that break when stepped on.

“Wow…”

Elena exclaimed.

To be honest, I was a little surprised too.

No matter how magical it is, I never thought it would be possible to achieve this level of high technology…

I can feel how much civilization has been developed by the magic revolution of Sesamsre Academy.

“Admire later and focus.”

-Kirreuk!

An unpleasant sound came from somewhere.

‘..Goblin’

A dwarf with green skin was approaching from the front, drooling.

A figure holding a crude stick in a loosely wrapped mat.

“Check 2 goblins ahead! Stay alert and focus on the goblins in front of you!”

As Yoon Mirae’s order fell, two goblins rushed in.

-Keee

“..Comes.”

It is difficult to assist using shadow magic due to location.

‘In that case.’

I moved backwards diagonally out of line without breaking the ranks.

What Morhan handles is a spear, so if it sticks too close to the back, it’ll interfere with his ability to wield it.

Two goblins jumped at Morhan at once.

He tries to deliver effective hits by disturbing his gaze with his small body.

But.

Hueup…

-Jjooong!

Morhan took a deep breath and swung the spear.

A goblin flew sideways and crashed into a tree.

Huge destructive power.

That stunned goblin won’t be able to move for a while.

Now there is only one goblin left in front.

If you’re Morhan, you should be able to deal with him.

But.

‘The number of goblins set is 4.’

There are still two left.

It was then. A goblin jumped out of the bush on the right.

‘…Was it an ambush?’

As soon as the goblin jumped at Elena, she used intimidation.

‘This time I adjusted the amount of mana…’

Dude.

A goblin lying face down on the ground in the air.

Hearing the sound of leaves crunching as they fell over, Mi-rae Yoon belatedly threw her dagger.

-Keee!

The goblin’s throat is pierced and returned to ashes.

After taking out one of them, except for the goblin that Morhan is dealing with, there is only one left.

Then Elena screamed.

“I feel something in the back right..!”

Back right.

As I quickly turned around, I felt suspicious that the leaves were clumped together and protruding bluntly.

Let Bell throw away the memorized throwing skill.

Hook!

-Kie Et!

A goblin emerges from among the leaves in agony.

‘As expected..’

The goblin must have been very angry, so she ran straight towards us.

Bell threw one more memorization, but he quickly ducked her head to avoid it.

“Kyaaah!”

Just before the goblin came close to Elena and brandished her club.

Hung!

-Fu-wook!

Goblin The javelin of Mor Han, who finished her body, pierced the goblin’s neck at the same time.

The goblin turned to ashes and disappeared.

– End of practice.

At the same time, the practice end notification sounded and the surrounding scenery returned to normal.

“…”

To be honest, she wasn’t bad for a first fight.

But…

“…The rearguard is so weak.”

The avant-garde was perfect.

In an instant subdue one of the two goblins that were running. The appearance of taking care of one goblin with ease.

However, the rear guard only managed to capture and locate one goblin with four people.

I almost got injured by one of the goblins.

“..Is there no offensive magic that Elena can use?”

“That.. There is nothing but magic in simple life..”

Above all, Elena’s lack of offensive power was too great.

Belle, a support role, is a position that does not expect combat power from the beginning.

However, her assistant must be able to cover herself to some extent in order to prepare for a surprise attack from behind.

“…Then do you have any special skills?”

“Speciality…? Ah! That.. The feeling is a little on the right side..”

Persimmon.

Had it not been for the briefing that Elena’s right back was suspicious during the battle, she could have been ambushed.

And it wasn’t about intuition, it was about Elena’s abilities.

Mi-rae Yoon touched her chin as if reminiscing about the past.

“Persimmon. Ira. Surely. Then, if you feel something in the future, please brief me right away.”

“Yes. Yes!”

“By the way…”

The problem of a weak rearguard has not been resolved.

I opened her mouth to make her proposal to Yoon Mirae.

“Let’s do this. Let’s change from 1 2 2 formation to 1 1 2 1 formation.”

If post-heat is weak, you can mix it.

“I’ll stand behind you. Let’s practice again.”

Mi-rae Yoon readily accepted my proposal.

After changing ranks like that, practice continued until evening.

..

..

..

“… Why is it good?”

Yoon Mi-rae’s one-line comment.

After changing the formation and securing the safety of the rear, the balance was better than expected.

Detecting the danger of Morhan and Elena, who are tying up the monsters in front. In addition, me and Yoon Mi-rae’s guaranteed blow.

‘No. Why is it good? That’s what the team leader would say.’

Mi-rae Yoon opened her mouth with a slightly suspicious expression.

“I think it’s still lacking, though. The frontal attack power is a bit disappointing. Especially …”

Yoon Mirae’s eyes turned to Elena.

“Hibb.”

“…Well, this is a team evaluation. The score is yours to take care of, so I have no major complaints.”

The team evaluation includes individual aggregate scores as well as team scores.

Unlike the team’s ranking, even if an individual performed an appropriate action for each position, it is included in the score.

“Today we will end here. It’s the first day, but you worked hard. See you tomorrow after class.”

After Yoon Mi-rae’s words, the party was in an atmosphere of dissolution.

As we were about to return to our dorms, Elena came up to me and talked to her.

“That… thank you. Mr. Lai.”

“Mr. Rai… Just Rai is enough. But what?”

“Ah.. Yes! Thanks to Rai’s suggestion to change the ranks, things seem to have worked out… So he cared, right?”

Ah. Is it like that?

“What are you talking about? It was easy thanks to Elena’s ability to detect the location of her monsters. Don’t worry, she’s doing well enough.”

“Thank you.”

Looking embarrassed as he lowered his head, as if he had never been praised like this before.

‘So cute..’

As expected…. Everyone! My best friend is so cute..!

I wanted to look at it a little more, but I had something to do, so I ended the conversation with a sense of regret.

“Yes. Get some rest today and see you tomorrow. Enter carefully.”

“Yes! Get some rest, too! I’ll see you tomorrow!”

She waved Elena’s hand as she walked toward the dormitory, smiling brightly.

“Bell.”

Even after all the members had already left, I spoke to Bell, who was still deep in thought.

“… Huh?”

“I want to ask you something.”

I remembered the situation at the time of practice.

The figure of Morhan wielding a practice spear.

It was a good vanguard, but it lacked attack power enough to not be able to kill even a goblin in one shot.

But it’s only natural that Morhan’s race is dwarves.

Dwarves are a race in which it is impossible to strengthen the body using mana.

It’s like he had that level of inaction simply with his physical abilities.

That alone is great enough, but…

‘Artifact. Among them, we need weapons.’

“Bell. Are there any artifacts you made? Weapons are better.”

“…Artifact?”

Bell thought for a moment before opening her mouth.

“…Weapons. Doesn’t exist.”

Oops. It seems that things are not going well.

“But there is something like a weapon.”

“..Something like a weapon?”

No, if it’s a weapon, it’s a weapon. What’s like a weapon?

“A workshop… Do you want to come?”

The act of inviting others to one’s studio.

A craftsman might be sensitive, but he seems to allow it because he is a member of the same party.

We moved to the production and dormitory following Bell, who was ahead of us.

The crafting and dormitories are built on separate sites.

Not just for sleeping.

This is because even a space that serves as a personal ‘workroom’ is provided.

‘Wow… It looks like this.’

When we entered the dormitory grounds, Muhak, which was in the form of a hotel. Unlike tactics and dorms

A lodging structured like a shopping district.

Even at night, there were quite a few places with lights on.

‘Is it a noise problem or something?’

If you heard the sound of a hammer until late at night, it would be a mess..

“..Here.”

When Bell stops walking, what is in front of him is a two-story building that looks a bit worn out, but is stylish enough.

It seems that the location and upgrades of the workshops are decided according to the number of production departments.

Kikki-

“..Come in.”

When Bell scanned her fingerprints, the studio door opened.

As if it didn’t matter, Bell took the first step and went inside.

… But this.

‘Isn’t it a bit dangerous?’

From a third person’s point of view, late at night after class. Didn’t you come to the girl’s dorm?

I quickly looked around.

Fortunately, no one was passing by.

-… Won’t you come in?

I heard Bell’s voice calling from inside.

“Ah. I’ll be going soon.”

… What are you doing alone?

I don’t think the person concerned really cares.

I moved quickly.

Kikki-

As soon as you enter the building, the smell of wood hits your nose.

The stairs to the second floor on the right are the living spaces with beds.

The first floor seemed to be a workshop.

The first floor had a wooden floor, and it smelled like a sauna, perhaps because of the heat around it.

Sniff sniff… It’s nice, right?

“… It’s hard to smell a girl’s room like that.”

No, if you say that…

“…Sorry.”

“…Rye is fine. Because you look good.”

No.. Is it okay if she’s good looking?

“The reason is a bit strange.”

I went inside the workshop feeling uncomfortable.

Then, the interior was disorganized to the extent that there was not enough space to step on.

Chunks of scrap metal and springs scattered around.

A booklet and goggles that are loosely laid out on a shelf.

“.. Clean up and live.”

“…Cleaning is something you do only once before you die.”

“Then wouldn’t you die sooner from pneumonia?”

“…It gets dirty no matter how you clean it.”

This is a very miraculous logic.

No matter what, I have to achieve my original goal.

“So. Where is that ‘weapon bunch’?”

“This.”

-Empty.

I looked at the large pillar Bell had been leaning on.

No, this is…

“… This is not a weapon.”

“So, say…weapon ‘similar’.”

I’m speechless.

Uh…?

But is this…?

“Bell. Does this light even?”

“…Of course. Original purpose. Certainty.”

This might be surprisingly good.

No… I rather like it.

That’s how our party’s secret weapon was confirmed.
