Academy Light Attribute Vampire

33 – Sickness Attribute

Runs through the corridors out of breath.

Through the smart watch, I learned that Rai had collapsed.

‘Why the hell again…!’

Elena recalls her past memories.

When he saved us from Gram Lock.

When he ran to save himself at the end of a skirmish with enemies during mentoring practice.

Rai always failed to put himself first and collapsed while overdoing it.

“Hey heck…”

Have you ever run so fast?

I began to see the door to the medical room in my field of vision.

Drreuk-

“… Is Elena here?”

When you open the door, you see tired faces of Neneto and Selina.

And let’s turn our gaze to the side.

Lying on the bed with an expression of pain somewhere.

I saw Rai’s appearance.

“Keep…Heh…”

Even though he wasn’t fully conscious.

The figure crouching down while continuously making pained sounds.

“What happened? What’s wrong with Rai?”

“… We don’t know either. He suddenly collapsed and stays that way.”

“It was always in that state..?”

Did I get sick somewhere?

At that time. The door opened again and the seniors came in.

“Junior!”

Erika-senpai and Odette-senior came running after hearing the news.

“What happened all of a sudden?!”

Erika-senpai’s loud voice echoes through her medical room.

“…Senior, please be quiet. This is a hospital room.”

“Right. Sorry…”

The appearance of a senior who sits in a chair with a slightly embarrassed expression and listens to all the explanations.

By the way.

Senior Odette stands still after entering the medical room.

‘Senior Odette?’

“…”

Senior Odette’s expression was strange.

As if she knew it would be like this.

Her chin rests on her chin, lost in thought.

Take a look at the collapsed Rai.

She was fidgeting, rolling her eyes to and fro.

She kept staring at that senior.

Her eyes met.

“…Elena junior.”

“Senior. Maybe something…”

“Wait a minute.”

Senior Odette quietly approaches and holds her hand.

The senior’s hand.

She was trembling slightly.

“Senior?”

“… Come out for a second.”

Let’s look around her quietly.

Looks like everyone is focused on Rai on the bed.

I follow senior Odette as she quietly opens the door and leaves.

“…Elena junior.”

What’s going on?

Of course, senior Odette is usually cautious.

She had never said her words with such a serious expression.

“What’s going on…?”

At my question, senior Odette seemed to be pondering for a while.

Trying to get her words out, he repeated her swallow.

Before long, she opened her mouth heavily with a determined expression.

“Listen carefully. I don’t know if I can talk about this issue carelessly.

I can watch over junior Lai, but I can’t support her.”

“Yeah..? What’s that…”

Senior Odette quietly approaches.

“And I think junior Elena is the person who can support him.”

After that, Odette-senpai was quiet.

I brought up the story very carefully.

While I was asleep.

About the conversation we had in the carriage.

After mentoring practice.

And about the reason for his sudden collapse this time.

‘… Nonsense.’

Raiga…

“Lai… Has a chronic disease?”

The Rai in me is good at anything.

I’ve always thought of him as an amazing person that everyone could envy and admire.

Excellent ability enough to rank first in martial arts department.

Humanity recognized and loved by everyone.

And.

Become dependent on it without even realizing it.

His caring behavior.

It reminds me of past memories.

When he saved them from Gram Lock.

He wanted to stop the movement of Gram Lock for a moment.

By shooting magic at the ceiling, he collapsed while working hard while bathing in the fatal light.

If only he hadn’t cared about us.

Although we could have been injured, we could have easily overpowered the group of gram locks.

At the time of mentoring practice.

It is said that he took charge of one of the two enemies by himself.

Under the morning sun.

Hait-senpai and tactics department 1st place. The enemy that Muhak and 6th place managed to deal with one.

He dealt with it while suffering from blood and blood alone.

‘Besides…’

It doesn’t stop there.

He came running to save himself, guiding his tired body and squeezing mana.

“Idiot…”

Even so, all I felt was gratitude towards him and helplessness toward myself.

Because it’s Rye.

It’s just that Rai is amazing.

What kind of feelings does Rai have to himself?

Even sacrificing himself to his comrades

I must have been fighting with my teeth gnashing while whipping my sick body.

As expected, Rai is amazing.

First grade in first grade is definitely different.

.

No one knew his sincerity.

As for the members of Team 2.

Seniors too.

And even myself.

– Dripping.

I quietly open the door and come in and look at Rai’s face.

He is sweating cold and immersed in pain.

That must be the pain Rai has always felt.

Even so, he didn’t want to show off to the people around him.

I have been acting all this time.

“…”

Close your fist tightly.

He squeezed so hard that I could feel the tiny blood flowing from his fingernail marks.

Selina and Neneto are looking at Rai worriedly. And Erica-senpai.

You don’t even know Neneto and Selina, who are always together?

“There…”

“Huh? Have you been to Elena? What about Odette-senpai?”

… No.

This is not something I heard directly from Rai.

At least as long as Rai himself doesn’t want to be known.

I do not have the right to inform everyone about this.

“… He said he was going somewhere for a while. How’s the lie?”

“It’s still the same. Suddenly, after an accident, she collapses like this…”

Rye is on the verge of collapsing.

He said that during an exam with the professor, he cut the professor.

Fortunately, I wasn’t seriously hurt.

The mere fact that a professor was hurt by a student made a lot of headlines.

“…”

Look at Rai’s face.

What can I do…?

What I can do for Rai.

… I don’t know.

I wanted to run up to him and give him a hug right now.

Why did you do that?

Why doesn’t he put himself first?

Why are you hiding your pain? Are you living your life pretending nothing happened?

‘… Hidden?’

Helena’s hair flashed.

Why did he come to the academy while overdoing it?

Why didn’t he tell the people around him that he was sick?

There must be a reason.

The reason he came to the academy.

‘Yes.’

For whatever reason.

I will help him in the future.

No matter how hard and dangerous it is.

I will be on his side and comfort him by his side.

Because he thinks that’s the least he can do in return.

In the medical room where only the sound of breathing is quiet.

Elena burned her will.

**

“…What?”

Let’s open our eyes.

It was already getting dark.

As soon as I woke up, I looked at my watch.

Innumerable letters piled up.

I listened to the outline during the Dalian exam.

Right after I cut Professor Kamir down.

It was said that he had lost consciousness and collapsed.

Look down at the ledger next to you.

Neneto. Selina. From a classmate with Bella.

A member of Team 2.

In addition, it was written that several people, including mentoring practice members, came and went to visit the hospital.

Right after I collapsed.

Of course, the gymnasium was in an uproar.

For some reason, Professor Kamir said he stood there blankly for a long time.

Selina transported my body to the medical unit.

Until the medical room staff came to the training ground and cast a healing magic.

Fortunately, the wound wasn’t that deep, so they say there’s nothing wrong with the body…

“Why is that person…”

I was tired.

Cutting the professor in class…

It’s not going to be easy.

“What is this?”

I close my eyes and search for memories before I collapsed.

…

The last sensation that came to mind.

Memories of a man presumed to be a hero.

No.

‘It’s more than a man’s memory…’

It was like a memory of ‘someone’ watching over a man called the Hero.

“What the hell…?”

The blurred vision and the feeling of cutting down the sword.

Everything seemed like it wasn’t me.

As if from a third point of view.

“…”

I roll up the sleeves of my school uniform and check my wrists.

The symbol of the warrior.

A sword wrapped around its wings.

“This is…”

It’s covered by its wings, so you can’t see it in detail.

The knife of the man I saw in my memory is correct.

Then this is…

“Huh?”

The color of the pattern…

“The color of the lower part is different…?”

The color of the lower part of the sword was shining brightly.

As if the light slowly fills the pattern.

Something was changing.

“I can’t believe this…”

Infuse mana with the pattern on the wrist.

“Great…”

In an instant, I could feel the mana flowing out of my body.

‘Isn’t this a joke?’

Let’s inject some mana into it.

The light of the pattern is about 1/5 full.

The appearance is clearly different from the previous one.

“Is it like a percentage gauge?”

If you fill the pattern with mana, the pattern will be filled with light.

As soon as this pattern fills up, something seems to happen.

“But…”

‘That’s absurd.’

Despite the fact that most of the mana was pumped into it, it was still lacking.

No matter how late it was at night, the amount of mana was low…

This will take some time.

“Let’s get up and go back to the dormitory.”

I slept too long and my whole body felt sore.

Get up and fold the duvet cover.

I went back to the dormitory.

“…Rye!”

When I opened the door and entered, Neneto was preparing to go somewhere.

Looking at me, his eyes widened and he was startled.

“I slept for a while. Where are you going?”

“No. I was going to go out to see how you are. Are you okay?”

“Yes. I must have collapsed after overexerting myself a little lately. I’m completely fine now.”

“That’s good.”

Neneto immediately threw off his stocking.

I also changed into lightly comfortable clothes and sat down on the bed.

“… What now, by the way?”

“Huh? Ah… Well, it was an unprecedented incident.”

An accident occurred during a weapon skill class.

Things like this could happen at any time.

It was a class where getting hurt was as easy as handling weapons.

But that’s what happens when students get injured during training.

There has been no case where a professor was injured by a student.

“…It’s okay because you’re a professor, right?”

“Well. If she’s that crazy woman, she won’t have to worry. All she has is a monster body.”

“Isn’t it too much to handle?”

“Because I’m a person who has lived my whole life for my pride, I should go through that at least once.”

“It’s not his job…”

“It’s true that it’s not your job.”

… You only say the right things.

“Did she call that it happened to her kids rather than worry about her?”

“Oh right.”

“…Hurry up and call me. The seniors and the kids were very worried.”

“Okay. Thanks. I’ll have to do it soon.”

I manipulated my smart watch and sent text messages to various group chat rooms.

Thank you for coming to visit me.

It’s okay now, so don’t worry about it.

Then Bell and Morhan wrote back.

Senior Erica sent her an emoticon of a cat lifting dumbbells.

‘… The emoticon sense is real.’

It was then.

-Titling!

Selina and Elena received a personal message.

“What is it?”

-Selina: Is it really okay?

-Yes. I must have been tired from working out lately.

-Selina: … Take good care of yourself. Why are you not answering?

-Sorry. You seem to be overdoing yourself these days, so be careful hahahaha

Selina seemed like she was about to collapse.

-Selina: Thanks to that, I am very alert. I should go to bed early today.

We exchanged our best regards just like that, and the text message with Selina came to an end…

-Elena: Are you okay?

All that was left was a text message from Elena.

As usual, I would have sent at least a cute rabbit emoticon.

For Elena, her tone is a bit stiff.

-Yes, it’s okay. I’ve been working out a bit lately.

– Elena: … Really?

‘Why is he like this again?’

Are you sick somewhere?

I told Elena, who had been worrying about me ever since, not to worry about it.

After exchanging text messages, I prepared well.

“Huh…”

“Then turn off the lights?”

“Good night Neneto.”

Let’s turn off the lights in the room.

Somewhere, soft light came out.

‘Wow, it’s a surprise.’

Fortunately, Neneto didn’t see it right away because he was wrapped in a blanket.

When I looked inside the futon, I could see the light leaking from the pattern.

‘…’

It’s not that strong of a light.

Ordinary people do not emit light from their bodies.

“…It will turn.”

It seems that if you infuse mana into the pattern, it won’t disappear.

About 1/5 of the mana I filled earlier was filling the pattern and making it glow.

If you fill up mana in advance, you’ll stand out in the dark…?

First, I covered my arms with a blanket to block the light from leaking out.

‘It’s not inconvenient at all.’

I don’t think being a warrior is a good thing.
