Academy Light Attribute Vampire

36 – Pre-Study (1)

“The location is… Ah, this way?”

Weekend is coming.

Always in the morning when I am doing my exercises.

I went out with my hat tightly pressed down and moved to the station of the royal road.

Crowded crowded.

Let’s get to the station and wait for the train.

There were a lot of people around.

A merchant selling snacks to eat on the train.

A beast tribe family is talking wildly about whether they are going on a trip with their families.

Even the guards stationed here and there to maintain public order.

“There are a lot of people…”

I didn’t know much about it at the academy on the outskirts of the capital.

Certainly the most well-developed city, there were a lot of people.

Chiiik-!!

After waiting a little longer, a train came on the track.

As I boarded, I brought my smart watch to the blue light board.

Beep-

“Oh.”

Culture shock when I first used 3X Pay.

“It’s amazing.”

When I went inside, I saw a more luxurious and comfortable interior than I thought.

“No. E-41… This. Oh, here it is.”

Seats in rooms.

Although the price for group seats is a bit cheaper.

Since I’m going alone anyway, I wanted to go quietly, so I booked a single room.

Open the door, sit on the chair and lean lightly.

When I open the window, the scenery outside passes by with the sound of a rattling train.

“… Nice.”

It is a very convenient means of transportation.

Because it is only connected to the royal capital or the big city, and the price is not cheap.

It is said that they usually use a carriage in a corner or close distance.

… There may be advanced technology on Earth.

Wouldn’t it just be enough to get around by car or train?

There was a time when I thought that.

There are no such resources in Merhem.

It is said to be a technology that has not been accepted due to its fatal disadvantage of polluting the environment.

In the first place, there is a resource called mana that can generate power in an eco-friendly way, but why??

So.

Where are you going on that amazing magic engineering train?

Sug-

Manipulate the smart watch to enter the Gate Alliance headquarters site.

‘Log in with the temporary ID you registered last time.’

After clicking on My Info window, I clicked on the Current Missions tab.

-The ring.

＜ April 12th [Tuesday] ＞

Region Guild Affiliation Others.

Lutetia – Four Suns / (A-3 Team. B- 14 Team) / Helper – Li.

————————————————————————- ——————–

What you read in the article in the community.

Summarize the contents of the article.

There is a way to enter the gate with the ‘actual’ players attacking the gate in real battle.

There is a system in which you can hire a mercenary called a ‘helper’ to capture the gate, and you use him to enter.

However, in order to register on the Gate Alliance headquarters site

I have to go directly to the Gate Alliance headquarters throughout the city and register.

For him to prove his strength and origin.

I needed an academy diploma.

Students currently enrolled in the academy cannot sign up.

But.

Due to the nature of the ‘helper’ system of hiring mercenaries.

If the attacking guild judged that their status and skills were clearly guaranteed.

It was only possible to participate in the capture of that gate without difficult conditions.

“I never thought there would be a way…”

It’s definitely a cumbersome method, so I don’t think it’s used that often.

If Professor Bergen hadn’t owed me anything, I wouldn’t have let go of my legs so easily.

“Huh…”

Anyway, this is the first gate.

Although I rarely do anything as a combat agent.

For me who always went to the gate after the 1st or 2nd clearance, I couldn’t help but feel nervous.

The train soon arrived in Lutetia, a city located right next to the royal road.

Ask the flight attendant for directions and go to the appointed place.

“Wave analysis Joe! Are you done with the analysis yet?”

“It’s almost over! I think this should be about grade B?”

“Are you still working on support items?”

“Please stand by the B-14 team!!”

In front of a huge portal.

I could see people carrying all sorts of equipment moving around busily.

“There…”

“After grasping the wave, spread it quickly…! Huh?”

Someone who looks tall just by looking at it.

You can explain it to this person.

“Ah. He said that one person would come this time.

Can you see him checking his armor at the other end? You can move over there.”

He smiled kindly at me and pointed me in the direction, then quickly left.

‘Something is crazy.’

I thought only those who were attacking would enter the gate and attack.

Checking armor and weapons.

Let’s move to a place where there are people who are presumed to be teammates for this attack.

The woman who was trying to flick the bowstring saw me and started approaching me.

“Who are you?”

“My name is Rai. This time…”

“Ah! You’re a helper! Come this way!”

Let’s go inside.

There were rows of chairs that looked like hastily made waiting seats.

There, active duty soldiers who had finished checking their armor were sitting side by side and talking.

“Helper is here!”

In a woman’s voice.

People who used to sit and chat stand up all at once and approach.

“Oh. This is the first helper I’ve seen in a while.”

“Looking at your eyes, you think you’re a vampire?”

A man holding a shield, looking cheerful, approached and shook hands.

“Hey! He’s a true friend, which is rare these days. What grade are you in?”

“Hey! What are you talking about! To the person who came to help us as a helper!”

The woman frowns while poking the man’s side with her elbow. She has been sending her signals.

‘…I don’t have to pretend like I don’t know.’

As long as it is a method that has been handed down to seniors as an implicit rule.

Of course, active duty players would know how to do that.

“Ha ha…”

“If there’s something you don’t know, ask me anytime! It’s my duty to train my juniors.”

“Yes, yes. Kids with good behavior like you grow up quickly. Please graduate quickly and help me.”

Because most of the active players are academy graduates.

There was no way my juniors, who would have worked hard to achieve all the conditions because they wanted to learn anything, couldn’t look ugly.

Actually, that’s not all.

The opportunity to get in touch first while getting acquainted with the excellent stock recommended by the academy is enough for the guild to benefit.

At that time.

A disapproving voice is heard from somewhere.

“…It’s a morning battle, but it’s a vampire.”

A human man with a hard impression.

A dagger hanging around the waist in light clothing.

‘Secondary? Order?’

“How about it. You don’t want a lot of help anyway.”

“Still, you shouldn’t forget your duty as a helper.

Shouldn’t it be a nuisance, if not helpful?”

“Hey… Put all the people in front of you…”

At the woman’s point, the man smiled bitterly at me.

“… I’m sorry. I’m a little sensitive to this part as much as I took the order.”

“No. It’s a reasonable idea. But.”

Looking straight into the man’s eyes, he opened his mouth.

“Enough to protect my body.”

“…Oh.”

When I boldly open my mouth, people around me are more surprised than men.

“You have a lot of ambition?”

“That’s right, it was received from our guild in the first place. Some degree of force must be guaranteed.”

“…”

The moment the man shuts his mouth with the expression that he ate a punch.

“Are you ready?”

I heard a man’s voice from somewhere.

A man with a huge body was coming in with his helmet tucked around his waist.

“Ben! Are you here?”

“Yes. The gate measurement is over. Team A will be coming soon.”

As soon as the man finished speaking, 5 people came pouring in.

“It’s cold.”

“… It’s cold because I’m wearing short sleeves. You should try on heavy armor…”

“I talk a lot. If I’m cold, I’m cold.”

A woman wearing a loose robe and a dwarf man following her.

“Huh? Is the helper here? Is this him?”

The two strode closer.

“Hello.”

“Hello. Are you the helper here?”

“Oh. What. A vampire?”

At the same time, the woman pulled back her robe.

The red eyes were exposed.

“I’m a vampire too. It’s unusual. Vampires would have a hard time with a helper system.”

“It’s a problem that will eventually have to be overcome.”

“That’s a good attitude… But are you okay?”

A woman looks at me with worried eyes.

‘I don’t have to worry that much.’

“You don’t have to worry about that.”

A voice came from somewhere.

I’m surprised.

I thought someone read my mind.

The fox-eared beastman who came in last and watched from behind.

“This helper’s recommendation is Bergen.”

“…What?”

The vampire woman who looked at me with worried eyes

When she heard the word ‘Berzen’, she opened her eyes wide and looked at me as if she had seen a ghost.

Even the people who had been looking at me with happy expressions before then exclaimed as if they were a little surprised.

“Really? Bergen?”

“Berzen… Are you talking about the Bergen I know?”

“Isn’t that Bergen the only one recommending academy students?”

“Wow… But doesn’t he give you a recommendation?”

“That’s why our guild didn’t readily accept it.”

The man who is a fox is approaching with strides.

“Please take good care of me. I am Cluane, the expedition leader for this raid.”

“Hello. My name is Rai.”

“Yes. Is this your first time on the field?”

“Yes.”

“Then you must be distracted. Let me briefly introduce you.”

The vampire woman and the dwarf man that Cluane just entered.

And pointed at the elven woman and man sitting some distance away.

“Including myself, I am part of the 4 Taeyang A-3 team, which is a party of 5 people. Then.”

The woman who first guided me. A man with a shield.

And the man who took the order, the dwarf girl and the elf girl checking the crossbow.

“It’s a B-14 team with 5 people in charge of 2 parties like that.

You can assist the supporter in the 2nd party.”

As a support assistant… It’s practically no different than a non-existent role.

That’s how the rough explanation ended.

I headed straight for the gate.

Giying-

Standing in front of the gate, I heard a deafening sound.

Knock.

When you go up to a high place, it gets better if you swallow your saliva.

‘It doesn’t have much effect.’

Are you choking because of the unique vibration?

An endless black entrance, like looking into a broken mirror.

So far, I’ve only subdued monsters that came out of the gate.

This is my first time entering the gate.

“Mr. Helper, are you nervous?”

I wonder if you thought I was nervous when I saw myself swallowing my saliva.

The woman who first guided me to the rearguard of Team B.

Seulgi opened her mouth in a slightly playful tone.

It seems that during the expedition, the title between the helper and the guild member is usually Mr. ○○.

“… A little bit.”

Cuckoo.

Seulgi smiled lightly and continued with a bright voice.

“Don’t worry too much.

At first, I was very worried about what to do if I was teleported to a strange place and couldn’t come back.”

“Does that suddenly make you scared?”

“… That’s right. I said something stupid.”

Seulgi lightly touched my shoulder.

“Still, I need a moderate amount of tension.

In that sense, Wooseok intentionally said something bitter.”

… Somehow, I was taken aback when I replied.

Is it some sort of necessary evil?

“Ten seconds before rush.”

A signal from Cluan, the expedition leader.

“Rush.”

With the rush signal, Team 1’s new model disappeared into the gate in an instant.

“Let’s go too.”

Let’s keep pace and walk right into the gate.

No one was left in front of the gate.
