Academy Light Attribute Vampire

18 – Agony (2) [Edit]

‘…Neneto guy.’

If you knew, I would at least tell you something.

I looked at Selina, who was uncharacteristically wiggling her fingers right in front of my eyes and looking at me.

“…What happened.?”

Skinny shoulders shudder and tremble.

‘…What is it really?’

You’re not like this character.

“That… I’m sorry. She came all of a sudden and was a nuisance…”

“No, no, what are you talking about? There is nothing like that among friends.”

– Friends…

Even muttering in a daze.

…Why is he really like this?

“… Did something happen?”

If something really happened,

It may be more important than you think due to timing.

I opened my mouth with a serious expression.

“…Selina. Listen carefully.”

“Yes..?”

He looked at me at the sudden sound of my voice.

The way he swallows saliva when he sees my serious expression.

“Maybe…”

Thumping.

The sound of a trembling heart came all the way here.

“…Don’t you feel like destroying the school?”

Selina’s eyes widened at the same time as I said.

And soon after…

“Keah ha ha ha!!”

He laughed so loud that an echo echoed in the dark hallway.

‘No, someone is asking seriously…’

I wonder if the laughter doesn’t stop easily,

Looking at Selina laughing with tears in her eyes, she opened her mouth brusquely.

“…Or not. You looked so guilty, I thought you were going to commit a crime.”

He stopped laughing at my words.

Before long, she opens her mouth with a slight smile.

“Really… I lost money because I was worried.”

“It is right not to do anything to lose.”

“I will. You are always like this…”

After wiping the tears from her eyes with her fingers, Selina continued her words.

“Mr. Lai.”

“Huh?”

“Could you give me some advice? Just… Just listen.”

…Troubled counseling?

Are you really in a state of contemplation right before entering Dimension?

Then…

“Yes. If you like the country, tell me anytime. I have a pretty heavy mouth.”

If the future I can prevent,

I will do my best to stop it. And in case you decide you can’t stop it…

“…Reliable. Then.”

After that.

The story spilled out of Selina’s mouth.

Her story about her own family.

And the story of the ‘suspicious man’ who appeared during her exam.

And even the meaningful lines the man said.

…

There was contact.

I finally got the hang of it. Why in the original story Selina entered her organization and became corrupted.

How was ‘Dimension’ able to easily invade the academy?

Currently, the school was investigating the cause of the sudden situation,

In that investigation, there must be something about the mysterious man who attacked Selina’s Team 8.

…They were using Selina.

If Selina were coaxed to their side, she could confuse the academy with false statements, She

She could have been of considerable help in breaking into the interior.

Then, how will those who failed to appease Selina approach them?

When you’re spinning your head like crazy.

She looked at me for a moment, then Selina smiled and opened her mouth.

“I read a novel about…!”

She tries to laugh and smiles exaggeratedly, as if it were a joke.

“Ahahahaha! How is it? Actually, I passed out right away, so I don’t know anything.”

Decorated as always. A fake smile.

But…

“…”

Somewhere.

A part of my heart aches.

I would have been afraid.

… I couldn’t be honest with you somewhere.

A disowned family member was involved and hurt her classmates.

If this fact was known, attendance at the academy could be restricted.

But if you don’t tell, it’s too late when something goes wrong.

A secret that cannot be told.

Selene was just letting herself eat some.

Maybe

Selena in the original novel may have had these concerns.

At that time, Selina must have been afraid that her attendance at school would be restricted. She

Or maybe she’s for another reason, I don’t know, but she chose to side with Dimension.

But if she really meant Selina to join Dimension,

She didn’t even have to come up to me and talk about this.

… With such an uneasy expression, she even dropped her legs.

“Couldn’t Mr. Lai have believed this nonsense either? In the first place…”

So I am.

“I believe.”

“…Yes?”

An existence that did not exist in the original work.

I decided to be on Selina’s side.

“I believe.”

Selina laughed.

And…

Embarrassed.

Joy.

Expectations.

And…

Sorrow.

Selina’s face showed several emotions.

Her eyes were watery from her crooked eyes. The corners of her mouth, which had been raised, went down.

Then… She struggled to open her mouth.

“…Um. I won’t be able to go to school.”

“…”

“I haven’t seen it in a while… But thank you. Still, if the kite touches you in the future…”

Selina’s shoulders are now shaking beyond concealment.

I put my words into my mouth.

“Hey.”

“…?!”

Just.

It just made me want to trust Selina a little more.

“… Do you trust me?”

If Selina believes in me, She

She was confident that she would do her best to help.

A help that only the possessed can do.

I must have pondered countless times before telling me this.

Except for the fact that it was too big for a student to believe.

Kirna, who injured her arm and receives treatment periodically.

And even me who was hospitalized in the medical room.

I must have felt responsible, at least indirectly.

Only one month.

For some, it’s a short time.

I learned more about Selina through this incident.

Selina is not a character who appears as a villain,

She feels needlessly guilty and grunts at the troubles she can’t tell others.

…A normal girl.

Selina hung her head as if she was about to cry.

Whether she has the least amount of pride, she gritted her teeth and shook her shoulders.

I don’t see any signs of sobbing or shedding tears.

…I decided to respect her.

“…It’s very late. Go to the dormitory and get some rest.”

“…Yes.”

“Let’s discuss the problem in detail after being discharged from the hospital. I think I will be discharged tomorrow at the earliest.”

Let’s go.

“…Ugh.”

Let’s escort her to her door with her fluttering body.

“… I can’t go very far. Enter carefully.”

“Yes… That…”

Thank you.

Leaving only that one word.

Selina went back to the dormitory.

In the medical room, which became quiet again.

“… I feel a little childish now.”

He spat out bitter words to himself.

————————————————————————- —————————–

The next day.

As soon as I was discharged, after morning classes.

She went to visit Elena during her lunch break.

She opened the door to class C and went in.

I see Elena sitting alone in a fairly large lecture hall and a corner seat.

“Helena!”

Let me call Elena out loud.

“Huh… What is it?”

“Isn’t that him? In class A..”

Elena raised her head in the classroom, which suddenly became noisy, and looked at me with a startled expression.

“D. Lie?!”

“I have a favor to ask you for a moment. Do you have time?”

“Eh. Oh wait!”

Kwadang Tang.

In so much haste, as she pulled out her chair, she heard her knee hit the desk.

‘Ah.. That hurts.’

After a while, Elena came out with her knuckles gripping her knees with her feet.

“Keep…. Write..”

“… You can come out slowly.”

“Keep.. No, Rai is calling, so you have to come out quickly!”

Looks like a well-trained puppy.

‘… Healed.’

In fact, wouldn’t it be possible for her to recover automatically even if only Elena was sitting in her medical room?

… In the middle of such a useless thought.

“So? What do you want me to ask you?”

“Oh right. Would it be okay after school?”

“After school…After school?! Huh! It’s absolutely fine!”

“Ah. Thank god. Then come to the front of the annex after school. If you think you’ll be late, text me.”

“Eh. Huh! I’ll go! I will definitely go!”

… They are unnecessarily energetic.

‘Something good must be good.’

“Okay. Then see you later.”

“Yes! See you later!”

Elena waves her hand and sees her off.

Okay then, the search for the detector is over…

As long as Selina is helping from inside the Dimension’s invasion of the school, the numbers are blocked.

She will try to sneak in from the outside.

And there are two places where security is weakest in the academy.

It was a separate building on the annex side, production and dormitory.

Due to the nature of production and students spending a long time indoors

Normally people come and go.

So security is bound to be vulnerable.

But that said, the academy’s grounds were too large to explore everything.

Because you might miss traces that are hard to see with the naked eye.

Elena’s presence was necessary.

..

..

That’s how time passed after school.

I took Selina and headed to the annex.

“That… Way. Did you find it?”

Since yesterday, there has been an awkward air.

Feels like meeting after playing the truth game.

“Um… Well, to what extent? Let’s start with what we can do.”

“… You really found a way in one day. How..”

“I’ll tell you the details when Elena comes. It’s time to come soon…”

It was then.

“Rye!!”

Elena was running from far away waving her hand.

…I’m going to fall again.

Elena, who was running, stopped abruptly when the distance between her was somewhat reduced.

Awkward. She walked in and she made eye contact with Selina.

“Ah. Hi! Selina…. Seed? That… Team 8 was also a big deal…. Yo. This!”

“…You can speak comfortably. No. I’ll make it easy for you. Nice to meet you, Elena.”

“Uh. Huh? That… Yes! Nice to meet you!”

Somehow, it looks like a puppy being sorted out by a tiger…

“…But why don’t you talk to me comfortably?”

“Because honorifics are more comfortable for you.”

“Uh. Hmm. Okay.”

That means it’s more comfortable for Elena to wear shorts..

“Can I ask why you called me?”

Elena, who had been standing there with a slightly uneasy look, opened her mouth.

“Elena. Do you remember the energy you felt from King Gram Rock the other day?”

“Huh? Um… I don’t know the details, but if you get close enough you’ll know..?”

“That’s enough. Can you let me know if you feel a similar energy while walking?”

“That’s not difficult…”

I add an additional explanation to Elena, who looks at me as if asking why.

“… Just in case. From now on, the professors asked me to go on patrol. I thought it would be nice if Elena let me know if she senses something suspicious.”

“Huh? Wow.. Class A gets such a request from the professor..! Good! If I can be of any help.”

Sorry Elena.

Forgive me for my white lies…

“Let’s go then.”

In this way, a special reconnaissance team was formed to search for villains.

Actually, the search is done by the elven search dogs, but…

You have to feel good.

..

..

..

After that, I searched for a while, focusing on the gap leading to the mountain behind the annex.

“Wow! Look at that! Squirrel!”

Elena, who at first looked around her carefully to see if she was nervous, was enjoying herself.

The way she runs when she sees a squirrel.

“…Reliable, right?”

Selina opened her eyes and stared distrustfully at the running Elena.

“Don’t worry. At least in this field, no one can match Elena.”

“…”

‘No matter how I look at it, I can’t believe it…’

It was then.

Elena, who ran and interacted with the squirrel, jumped to her feet.

“… Rye.”

‘Did you find it?’

It’s faster than you think.

I followed Elena with a slightly nervous expression.

I found a mark with black energy carved inside a hole in a tree.

I couldn’t have found it if I hadn’t looked closely,

A fine mark that seems to have been treated with something magical.

“This is…”

“It looks like a password? It looks like something shaped… Ah!”

Elena exclaimed as if she realized something in her words.

What comes to mind is the inverted triangle tattoo on the man’s collarbone.

“Mark…!”

“Mark?”

“At that time, the man’s collarbone was also tattooed with a specific pattern.”

“Then…”

“…Probably. It seems that each of them has marked their intended invasion route.”

It was plausible.

Above that the road from the inside is blocked.

Infiltrating several people from the outside into different input locations will be effective in finding the item.

On the day of the operation.

It must be a plan to infiltrate all at once.

“But what is this?”

Helena said, pointing to the slight indentation next to the mark.

This is…

Out of the 7 grooves, 3 were filled.

Looking at how it is being filled up slowly even now, it must be a structure that is being filled over time.

And considering the speed at which the grooves are filled, it seems that it takes one day per groove.

In that case.

“Four days later.”

“Uh…?”

“.. That’s fast.”

Four days later… It’s Sunday.

On weekends, there are no students.

Since the professor is also minimally deployed, it must be the best time to infiltrate.

Support position-

Perhaps this unknown technique serves to pierce the academy’s barrier.

There is also a way to find out and destroy it.

If that’s the case, Dimension will only find another way to infiltrate.

Rather, when the enemy is off guard.

Now was the best opportunity to stop the invasion, even fully grasping the enemy’s strategy.

Rather.

Use this invasion to inform the world about the existence of ‘Dimension’ a little faster.

Only then before the Dimensions pay off.

It becomes easier to add meaningful checks.

… 4 Days left.

It’s time to dig a trap.
