Academy Light Attribute Vampire

40 – Try on

After school.

Today is the day we decided to have dinner with the 2 teams to have a meeting about the upcoming training session.

‘But before that.’

Royal road downtown.

I moved to another meeting place, a cafe on the outskirts.

-The ring.

It’s not the usual dessert cafe.

It was a small cafe in a remote area.

Let’s open the door and enter.

– With my daughter.

The savory smell of roasted coffee beans

The soft sound of classical music.

‘…There was a place like this.’

It’s not that big, so you can see the inside of the cafe at a glance as soon as you enter.

Thanks to that, I recognized him at a glance from the other side and pretended to know him.

“Ah. Here!”

A male beast with orange hair and fox ears.

A man with a great sword who served as the expedition leader in the previous gate capture. It was Kluane.

I approach and pull out a chair and sit down.

-Choosing Geek.

As soon as you sit down, you can feel the texture of hard wood.

Someone might like it, but it’s a very uncomfortable posture for me.

‘I wish there was at least a backrest…’

I wonder if my emotions were revealed through facial expressions.

Cluan opened his mouth with a shy expression.

“…Sorry, it was difficult for the outside world to know about what we met today, so I had to catch it a little outside.”

“Oh. No. I think the interior fits well with the atmosphere of the store.”

…Still, I don’t think I’ll be back.

Let’s have a seat.

Thanks to the selection of the menu in advance via text message, the coffee came out right away.

“… So?”

What is the reason for calling it out so suddenly?

Should have given you the account…

“Ah. Nothing special. This.”

– It’s okay.

Cluan took out a bag from under the table and lifted it.

‘Bag?’

“Because I judged that you helped me a lot in this raid.

Team 2 members said they wanted to give you a certain portion of their pay…”

Oh.

It’s me.

“Something like this.”

Let’s get the bag from Cluan.

‘…It’s heavier than I thought?’

I was a bit surprised at how heavy it was.

“Is it okay if I open it?”

“Sure. That’s why we met on the outskirts like this.”

Open the bag and check the contents.

One t-shirt. A shining jewel. And… What is this.

“… What is this?”

“Oh… That’s it.”

A strange yeti statue.

If you look closely, the quality is quite good, but it’s a bit too conservative to think of it…

“…The guild finance department noticed and said they would only give it to me, and brought it back in secret…

Never mind. Occasionally, strange items appear that I don’t understand.”

“Ah… Yes.”

I’d be pretty upset if something like this came out as a reward for a gate I sacrificed my life for…

In the bag, a small piece of paper explains the item.

‘Oh.’

This t-shirt. I thought it was just an undershirt with high defense.

By blowing mana into it, it is said to have the effect of regulating body temperature by lowering the temperature.

Of course, it won’t work that well in cold places.

Suddenly, I remembered the image of Morhan sweating profusely under his thick armor.

‘I can give this to Morhan.’

I did my best while being crushed by a stone during practice last time.

I was a little embarrassed that I couldn’t take care of anything…

I’ll see you later anyway, so you can pass it on.

“Oh. And this too.”

Cluan picked up the sword that was leaning next to the table.

“A sword?”

I don’t know the details because it’s inside the sheath.

It looked like a somewhat usable sword.

“This is the sword that Ben you rescued was using. I decided to replace it with the sword I got from the expedition this time.

So, since he has no pay to give you, he said he wants to give you the sword he used before?”

“You don’t have to worry that much…”

What. Would be better than nothing

I didn’t have a sword to use during the martial arts competition, but it’s fortunate.

I heard you can freely use artifacts during martial arts competitions…

It’s about time to make an appointment with Team 2.

After saying goodbye to Cluane.

I took my bag and went to the restaurant, the meeting place with Team 2, to fill my hungry stomach first.

After that, we start a meeting at the dessert cafe we always go to.

“…But I’ve been worried about it since a while ago. What is that bag?”

Yoon Mi-rae brought out the beginning first, as if she couldn’t stand it.

“Ah. This?”

I wonder if Morhan and Bell were even secretly concerned.

I stared at the bag quietly.

“It just happened. I had something to give Morhan.”

The sudden mention of her name made Mor Hann widen her eyes in surprise.

“Now. This one. It can be adjusted in size, and it can lower its body temperature by injecting mana into it.

You were always sweating inside your armor.”

Morhan took the T-shirt from me with a huge hand.

“…”

Morhan stared at the T-shirt in his hand in silence for a long time.

“…Don’t you like it?”

Shaking his head as if coming to his senses at my words, I continued to tap the back of his left hand with my right hand.

That’s sign language for ‘thank you’.

“Then I’m glad.”

I like it more than I thought, so it feels good to give it as a gift.

“Let’s have a meeting…”

Let’s turn his head after the warm gift time is over.

Beside me, Bell was looking at me like a puppy looking for a snack.

‘Me?’

The unspoken pressure that comes through even without speaking.

“… Of course we brought our bell too.”

When I was young.

When her father gave Subin something of her own,

I suddenly remember how I hurriedly took out my things from her bag, seeing me belatedly envious of me.

‘Father…’

What kind of fight were you fighting…

‘This is it.’

A blue jewel that glows softly even in the bag.

I’m sure… You said it was a magic stone containing water attribute mana, right?

This is the perfect gift for Bell, the production manager.

“Come on.”

“…Oh!”

As soon as Bell sees the magic stone, he rarely exclaims.

The quality must be different from the lower magic crystals supported by schools.

Even if you look at it like that, it was from a fairly advanced gate that an A-rank team had to enter.

Belle’s eyes shine brightly.

She is holding a magic crystal with both hands as if she is holding an egg.

“…Thank you… I love you.”

“…Don’t confess quietly.”

But the real problem starts now.

The moment he gave a present to Belle as well.

It is no longer a ‘gift given only to one person’.

‘Damn it…!’

As expected, Mirae Yoon is looking at me with an expression full of anticipation inside.

“…What.”

“What. What! Did you just stare at me?”

I’m looking at the bag exactly as if I was just staring…

‘It’s a big deal.’

I really don’t have any more…

Let’s rummage through the bag as soon as possible.

‘Oh.’

What came out of my fingertips was a strange yeti statue.

Yoon Mi-rae’s face was filled with contempt.

“… But since you gave it to me, I’ll be grateful.”

“But what? If you look closely, something of high artistic value…!”

“…Okay, stop it before you get mad.”

“Yeah. Sorry…”

A gift that anyone can see that it was roughly patched up.

‘No, I didn’t mean to give it to you in the first place…’

“Now, let’s have a real meeting…”

“…”

When they opened their mouths, everyone fell silent.

The expression that even Yoon Mi-rae didn’t know you would do.

‘Why?’

Let’s look at where everyone’s eyes are headed.

It has been strangely quiet since we met today.

There was Elena who I always took care of the most.

‘…God.’

It was then.

“…This.”

Elena pulled out a small box from her bag and held it out.

Huh?

“What is this?”

“… I’m always so grateful to Rai. I prepared a small gift for you.”

When I opened the small box, I saw tiny pills.

The name engraved on the inside of the box…

It’s written in cursive, so it’s hard to read…

“…Mihar?”

“Mihar?!”

Yoon Mirae reacted.

“…What is it?”

“Mihar is a very famous alchemist! His main job is to sell elixirs to high-ranking people, so it must be extremely difficult to find…”

“…Really?”

I looked at Elena quietly.

An expression that seems embarrassed and troubled.

“Ah.. That. It’s really nothing, so it’s okay! Please don’t burden me…”

“But… I think this is a pretty expensive item, according to the future.”

“Because there is nowhere to spend the money sent by the family… They are also sent anyway…”

… The warm atmosphere is a little darker.

At times like this, it would be better to express your sincere gratitude.

“Okay! Thanks Elena, but I’ve been feeling tired lately. Thank you..! I’ll eat well!”

“Yeah..! I’m a Rai as soon as possible…”

Suddenly, Elena stopped her words.

“Huh? A day sooner?”

“…No, just go ahead and eat it! Ah. Can I bring you some water?”

He pours water on me and forces me to drink quickly with his eyes.

“Hey. Hey, why is that? Okay! I’ll eat now.”

Gulp.

The feeling of the round elixir running down her neck.

Feeling something hot is definitely not an ordinary elixir.

After swallowing the elixir, look forward.

I watched with delight as Elena swallowed the elixir with water.

‘…Why do you look a little sad?’

Mi-rae Yoon, who was watching the situation, grumbled and opened her mouth.

“… This makes me look very immature.”

“You’re immature.”

“What? You really…!”

Sometimes, let’s show our rough-and-tumble with my annual event.

Elena and Mor Han started to stop with her wry smile.

**

Late evening.

After confirming that Neneto was asleep.

I secretly came out to the parade ground.

If you’re wondering why you’re suddenly doing something you didn’t do…

-Ziing…

I look at the softly shining wrist.

After the pattern appears, let’s continue to blow mana.

Finally, the light of the pattern was completely filled.

Gulp.

… What the hell is going to happen.

I decided to experiment in a corner of the parade ground late at night, just in case no one knew.

‘But how do I activate it?’

Let’s lightly infuse mana into your wrist.

-Peeing!

Suddenly, the pattern started to emit light explosively.

“Hey…! I’m going to wake up everyone in town!”

I hurriedly covered the shadows around and blocked the light from leaking.

And 10 minutes later…

Charleung.

Something in the hand oxidizes with light and disappears.

I hurriedly looked at my wrist as I felt a sudden sense of exhaustion.

The light of the pattern that was all filled in has disappeared.

It seems that once you summon it, you have to collect mana again until you summon it again.

Even so, this…

“…More than you can imagine?”

At this level, it is possible.

Anyway, through this martial arts competition.

I think I can convince Adela.
