chapter 19
8. The reason Song Xia stayed up all night (1)
‘What are you thinking.’
Xia Song shook her head. My head spun in an instant.
dump-
And sat down on a luxurious wooden chair. Her long silver hair flowed down the chair as well.
Anemia was felt. The world seemed to appear red.
Originally, she was skinny. Also, since Song Shia is a half-blood vampire, her desire for blood is less than that of pure blood.
Chronic anemia is always present.
“hahahaha…”
Breathing quickened for a moment.
For a moment, it seemed like the anemia was getting worse because I was thinking about too many things.
I forcibly reached out onto the wooden desk and grabbed a bottle that was lying there.
It’s nothing special, it’s a nutritious drink I’ve been eating since I was young. It was a special drink prepared by the family doctor.
After drinking the crimson-colored drink, the period of anemia disappeared a little.
‘We shouldn’t waste time on useless thoughts…’
However, as soon as my body calmed down, I thought again.
Though it was unclear whether it was thought or emotion.
There was a scene that kept coming to my mind.
An Yu-min and Lee Jun-woo are getting along again. And the way the two of them are together.
‘no. The two of them are over.’
The fact that Lee Jun-woo’s heart toward An Yu-min was great.
It was understandable enough to observe his actions calmly.
Through Aegis activities, all members except Lee Jun-woo benefited greatly.
However, An Yu-min, unlike Ha Ye-eun, is not a seed of interest. He didn’t really try to appeal his performance in the broadcast.
In a word, a style where hardships are dealt with and the price is not paid.
However, Lee Jun-woo was well aware of An Yu-min’s personality.
The main dealer always selected and put in the hero activities that can perform optimally.
Even in interviews before and after the activity.
An exquisite interview script was composed so that Ahn Yoo-min as a hero naturally stands out.
I don’t know about stupid Ha Ye-eun.
In the end, the spotlight of hero activities always went back to An Yu-min.
As if the vocals were the most popular in the band.
Even though Ha Ye-eun is the most famous in internet broadcasting. An Yu-min has the highest external popularity and image.
‘He’s known for being a good-looking hero with good skills and a beautiful speech. An Yu-min.’
Thanks to his chaste behavior, he easily won the position of freshman representative.
Of course, the skills were backed up. In the process, Lee Jun-woo’s efforts cannot be denied.
But even so, Lee Jun-woo maintained an exquisite balance in the Aegis.
To the extent that Ha Ye-eun made an absurd misunderstanding. I did my best for the other two.
Lee Jun-woo has a friendly and kind personality to everyone.
As a result, Ha Ye-eun became a major streamer.
And even with good words, the way he speaks is not polite.
Despite having a very huge family background and excellent magic talent. He became known to the world as a humble, unassuming wizard.
All of them were images Lee Jun-woo created for her.
‘For taking care of the three of us like that. Lee Jun-woo must have been ruined.’
The image of Song Xia created by the public was very much liked by her family.
As the Apostle of Valhalla is the most famous hunter guild.
The external image was very important.
So, the more I do with Lee Jun-woo. Song Xia gradually began to see him again.
– He’s just a nymphomaniac.
– Hmm. Even if I was a benevolent saintess. Sometimes, Lee Jun-woo’s gaze, which seems to have fallen in love with me, is burdensome!
At first, Song Shia was like An Yu-min and Ha Ye-eun’s evaluation. Although he did not take Lee Jun-woo seriously.
Just like the two of them, even when Song Shia ignored Yi Jun-wu, he always treated her kindly.
Just as Lee Jun-woo famously changed the three members of Aegis.
At some point, Song Xia’s thoughts about him gradually changed without her knowledge.
– Lee Jun-woo is quite usable, no. might be a good person
But right around that time.
‘Probably last fall… around midterm exams.’
Song Xia noticed it belatedly.
He was certainly not a womanizer.
Rather, it was a nasty chastity.
I happened to see it outside the door of the club room that was open.
Over there, Ahn Yu-min falls asleep on his desk while studying theory all night.
And the appearance of Lee Jun-woo, who covered his outerwear to An Yu-min.
At that time, Lee Jun-woo looked at An Yu-min.
It was a gaze he had never shown to himself and Ha Ye-eun.
‘Warm… it was…’
Even at that time, An Yu-min’s attitude towards Lee Jun-woo was in full swing.
Even so, the moment I saw those eyes that stayed the same.
Even Song Xia, who had no emotions, could tell.
To Lee Jun-woo, that An Yu-min is a very special person.
***
“Ha ha… heh…”
Although I drank a nutritious drink a while ago.
In an instant, the anemia returned. No, I was already feeling something different than usual.
Obviously, it was a vampiric desire.
‘Lee Jun-woo… likes An Yu-min.’
And from the moment I realized that fact.
Song Xia is clearly different from her previous self.
Strangely enough, I hated seeing An Yu-min with Lee Jun-woo.
That feeling was still the same today.
I wanted to separate An Yu-min and Lee Jun-woo. He hated seeing Lee Jun-woo staring only at An Yu-min.
“What… ha… you’re thinking.”
I can’t understand myself right now.
A man with a smooth face and a kind heart. Song Xia’s background is very easy to obtain.
Even men of greater ability.
The self who shouldn’t have any emotions. I shouldn’t be shaken like this because of that ordinary, no, inferior student.
Even so, the thought that Lee Jun-woo liked someone made me feel strange.
“hahahaha…”
gulp- gulp-
I hurriedly took out a nutritional drink from the refrigerator. Temporarily, the anemia disappeared again.
However, that vampiric desire still remained. Lee Jun-woo kept coming to mind. She saw the book the lady-in-waiting had left behind.
“What the hell…why…”
But no matter how much you ask yourself.
what are your feelings right now? I couldn’t figure out why I was feeling that way.
So it was a thought that made me laugh out loud. I decided to read that romance fantasy novel.
It is a book that mainly deals with the emotions of men and women.
Song Xia read the novel while enduring anemia, no, vampirism.
Time quickly passed from evening to late morning.
But it didn’t mean much.
She doesn’t even know the definition of the word emotion in the first place.
There was no way I could definitely understand a novel that was dotted with that terrible excess of emotion.
No, that doesn’t mean there aren’t any results.
Because she had two keywords left.
Jealousy and obsession. Songxia chewed on the word.
‘no way. I’m jealous of An Yu-min?’
To be precise, it would absolutely not be her feelings toward that one person, An Yu-min.
In the first place, the apostle of Valhalla, the owner is Song Xia’s father.
So, except for the fact that her mother was once a famous hunter. There was nothing special about An Yu-min.
Even if you met Lee Jun-woo and grew up. I never thought of An Yu-min as a competitor.
‘Is that… that’s it.’
But now it seemed to me that I knew something.
If only there was something to be jealous of An Yu-min.
The look Ahn Yu-min received was envious. The person who was always looking at her was Lee Jun-woo.
It seemed that such feelings were called jealousy.
‘Nonsense!’
However, what happened at the entrance ceremony today came to mind again.
An Yu-min’s expression twisted when he saw Lee Jun-woo, who was talking to a female cadet.
And the moment I saw that expression, I felt strange.
‘Why is An Yu-min looking at Lee Jun-woo…?’
The name of the cadet Lee Jun-woo was talking to came to mind belatedly.
A cadet named Hana Choi.
Oddly enough, I could tell that it was the motive of competing with An Yu-min.
And from the keywords I noticed a little while ago through romance fantasy.
An Yu-min’s expression and gaze.
Song Xia noticed that it was most similar to the feeling of lingering or obsession.
“That’s not right. That’s not allowed.”
Although it can’t be said to be the same as the feelings in real life.
I know that the relationship between a man and a woman is not so easily resolved by a single breakup.
Although Ahn Yu-min and Lee Jun-woo were not dating.
I don’t know how Lee Jun-woo is feeling right now.
From An Yu-min’s reaction at the entrance ceremony, at least one thing was certain.
That An Yu-min has feelings for Lee Jun-woo in some way.
And if Lee Jun-woo finds out about that fact.
That Lee Jun-woo, who had left An Yu-min, might go back to her side. Lee Jun-woo’s heart was that deep.
My body trembled.
hate. I hate that. I can’t explain it with emotion.
When Lee Jun-woo was kicked out. He was relieved to be separated from An Yu-min. That’s why he made his contribution to 0.
Because it was broken. If he was by An Yu-min’s side, it would have been more painful. So I agreed to the expulsion.
‘No, that’s an excuse.’
At that time, Lee Jun-woo’s expression of shock and disappointment is still vivid.
Really, if it was for Lee Jun-woo.
Still, I should have caught him again on the spot.
And I had to convince An Yu-min and Ha Ye-eun.
That Lee Jun-woo had to share the extremely excessive work he was in charge of.
No, more than that, we should acknowledge his hard work.
The two are misunderstanding Lee Jun-woo. If you really think of Lee Jun-woo in any way.
But it didn’t make any sense.
Song Xia now, just like those two. He is just a member of Aegis who agreed to expel Lee Jun-woo.
“I don’t know… ha… ha…”
In the end, there was nothing I could know by reading this romance fantasy.
Lee Jun-woo came to mind.
And a terrible vampiric desire boiled over him.
‘Dangerous.’
Vampires living in modern times have evolved to suit the times.
Even if you see the sun, it won’t burn. You don’t always have to absorb the blood of living humans. There was plenty of food to replace blood in moderation.
But that vampirism lingers like a reverberation.
And, the intense vampiric desire for a specific person. That vampirism was very dangerous.
The vampiric desire you feel toward the opposite s*x you have affection for.
‘That… can’t be. My mother and I… are completely different. Because I don’t have feelings… for Lee Jun-woo…’
With that love, if you stick your fangs in and end up vampiric. You feel a constant vampiric desire for that opponent.
To the extent that he would suffer from malnutrition if he did not periodically suck that blood.
Of course, without absorbing the opponent’s blood. The affection received from the other person can subdue that vampiric desire instead.
However, Song Xia’s mother suffered from severe anorexia and died.
Song Si-ah’s father, Song Yoo-hwan. The guild leader of that huge guild didn’t have the slightest affection for her birth mother in the first place.
The only thing I’m interested in is the original blood flowing through Song Xia’s mother.
jerk, jerk-
I ended up drinking another bottle of nutritional drink.
However, like a terrible thirst and hunger, the vampiric desire for Lee Jun-woo remained.
“friday…”
And only belatedly, she read the message left by her lady-in-waiting on her smartphone.
[First evaluation at Theia Academy. The Lord is looking forward to it.]
The opponent of the first class assignment evaluation is Lee Jun-woo.
An E-class hunter she will never lose.
That’s why I was never allowed to be humiliated in the slightest.
Her father couldn’t forgive her for such a mistake.
I had to cool down.
Without a family background, he is a person with nothing.
You mustn’t disappoint your father. I had to overpower Lee Jun-woo.
– Why do you say that? how popular are you Even if you’re not really an apostle of Valhalla. Song Xia, you and yourself are good people.
However, at that time, I remembered what Lee Jun-woo had said to her.
My whole body trembled again.
Although the heating in her room was warm enough to be hot. I felt a terrible chill.
Most of all, my heart was very cold like the middle of winter. At this moment, the thought occurred to her that it would be nice if someone was with her.
but impossible. Even the slightest possibility, it’s all over that you let go of yourself.
Song Xia murmured as she wrapped her trembling body in her arms.
“Yeah… the morning sun is up… it’s cold. I… I’m a vampire…”
But outside the window it was still dawn full of darkness.
***
The first week of entering Theia Academy.
I was busy moving.
middle class. And since I had a clear goal of being a liberal arts major, I couldn’t be lazy.
Above all, the opponent is Song Shia.
Even in the original work, she was famous for her silver-haired, red-eyed character with no emotion.
Of course, the illustration alone was popular. Performance was also rated more highly.
‘Even if it’s a half-vampire, the blood of the original species flows.’
The original species means the most pure existence that is the founder of sub-species.
So, it is the source of the special power that sub-species have, which is distinct from humans.
As much as that blood flows, Song Xia is strong.
A wizard who has already completed his 2nd awakening.
In addition, he is a special Awakener who has received not only the theory of magic since childhood, but also combat training.
‘I was buried by An Yu-min in my hero activities, but…’
Besides, at this point, Song Xia’s skills were at a standstill to some extent.
Still, Song Shia is as good as a human rights officer. Even An Yu-min of today cannot recklessly guarantee victory.
Nevertheless, in the flow of the main story later.
Song Xia becomes desperate when she sees An Yu-min growing rapidly.
In the end, the power contained in the lineage runs out of control.
It means temporarily becoming an enemy.
‘It was a very tricky quest.’
However, in the original work, while An Yu-min progresses the story, she prevents her runaway through the friendship she has built with Song Si-a.
And the two become stronger as they acquire new skills through the quest.
In the original work, the level of difficulty of clearing was high because there was quite a difference in specs between An Yu-min and Song Si-ah.
Now that An Yu-min has grown so much, there won’t be any big problems.
‘In case you don’t know, I’ll have to give it to you.’
Anyway, there is no need to worry about the story that will only happen near the end of the first semester. Now my work is more urgent.
Because a brief sparring with Song Shia is scheduled right now.
‘I have to prepare new powers and skills right away.’
the day after the entrance ceremony.
After completing the orientation of the theory lecture, I headed to Theia’s VR training ground.
“Did you come first?”
“Yeah… I told you to meet me here.”
Jiyu came first. And on the other side of the VR equipment monitor. Jiyu had the saint woman TV running again.
Ever since the broadcast of the disgraced Dark Snake arrest.
It was Ha Ye-eun’s first broadcast.
