Academy Light Attribute Vampire - Academy Light Attribute Vampire chapter 83

83 – The Beginning of the Incident

“Ugh…”

My fingers have been tingling ever since I fought the last fire lizard.

‘Did it touch the breath?’

Or did I misplace the heated floor?

… Anyway, after coming out of the gate,

As I quietly hold out my index finger to the approaching treatment group, a warm light surrounds my finger.

A week has passed since the guild dispatch training started.

“You did a great job! Go in today and take a good rest!”

“Thank you for your hard work.”

“Yes… When is the next expedition?”

“Hmm. I’ll upload it to the group chat room!”

“Okay.”

Four Suns Guild B-3 Party.

This time, it was the party assigned to the guild dispatch practice.

‘The guild dispatch assignment ended sooner than I thought.’

What to do… It’s just that you need to shove it where you need it.

“…Are the other kids doing well?”

Since this practice is not a team practice,

With the kids from Team 2, I was scattered.

To be honest, I don’t worry about kids like Selina or Yoon Mi-rae because they’re the kind of people who will take care of their own food bowls wherever they go.

-Titling!

“Hi go…”

Scared to say anything, Elena sent something to the group chat room.

-Elena: Guys ㅠㅠ… I miss you…

Tap, tap, tap.

-What is it?

-Yoon Mirae: Is there anyone who bullies you?

-Elena: No… It’s not like that… The friend I came with was too reticent…

Ah.

Did you say you were assigned with a friend from the same class?

Swinging feathers.

It was the name of the guild Elena was sent to.

To be honest, just a mediocre guild?

-Morhan: …I think the friend I came with is a bit afraid of me.

-Yoon Mirae: That’s… I can’t help it.

-Neneto: Everyone is having a hard time… Bella is still getting caught with a close friend, so she eats her food comfortably.

Chuck.

‘Everybody only talks about the kids assigned to them…’

Hagi, the guild would have put in a request for support with the feeling of wanting to borrow at least a cat’s hand, so there’s no way they’d be unkind to us,

Although they say they will come back after the expedition is over, due to the nature of the expedition that never ends, they may have to spend a long time together.

By the way, the A class student who came to the Four Suns Guild with me.

“…Are you here?”

“Yes. You finished earlier than expected?”

“The rear guard I go with is good at ice magic.”

“I was lucky.”

Sir.

A vampire with bright red eyes walking out of the waiting room with a friendly smile.

“Shall we go?”

“Uh… Yes.”

To be honest, I can’t say I’m close with Grade.

I only saw her face often because she always stuck with Kir.

Because I’ve never even had a conversation like this with just the two of us.

At least when we met at a martial arts competition?

If a fist conversation is a conversation, then it’s a conversation.

‘…What. Still, it’s not as awkward as I thought.’

Because the original person himself was a good guy,

In addition, he has excellent skills and a good reputation within the guild.

“The weather is getting chilly… Is it because autumn is here?”

“Yes. It was that hot not too long ago.”

“Ah. Is it okay if I don’t see Cluan?”

“Okay. If we see each other that often, there’s nothing to talk about.”

The first time he heard that he was assigned to the four sun guild,

I was honestly a bit surprised when Cluane’s party came to welcome me to the front of the guild hall.

‘… He’s the kind that has a lot of affection. Cluane too.’

Something special happened when we first met,

Because I didn’t expect to maintain a relationship this long.

If Cluan-san and the other party members felt a little reluctant to me,

I wonder if he would have taken his hands off the helper part-time job in a cool way.

At that time.

“Quickly!!”

Boom!

The moment I entered the guild building to pick up the luggage I brought in the morning,

Goseong was coming and going from the counter on the first floor.

“…Did something happen?”

A man who is very excited and demands something from the receptionist’s sister.

The guild members who were taking a break from the upstairs feeling the commotion begin to come down to the first floor one by one.

“Does it make sense that we haven’t caught him yet?!”

“… It’s not just our guild, it’s an accident that’s happening simultaneously with other guilds as well.

If you wait a little bit, we will come up with a countermeasure soon…”

“Piriel!! You know what condition Piriel is in right now and you say that..!!”

Chuck.

A veteran guild member approached the man before he knew it and put his hand on the man’s shoulder.

“… Enough.”

“You!! Even if your party members were like that…”

“Walter!!”

“…”

“Don’t misunderstand who you should be angry with. Receptionist Irna-chan is in trouble.”

“…Sorry.”

“Yes. Apologize later and go back to rest.”

‘…That person.’

It was a face I had seen while going to and from the guild several times.

The person who was yelling at the receptionist was obviously the head of one of the B parties,

The person who stopped him was Mr. Legrt, the frontman of the A-6 party.

Let the man walk out of the guild building with his head down.

‘Eak.’

I don’t want to get involved, so I leave quickly.

Looking across the street, Grade seemed to be of the same mind, and was already far away from the entrance.

‘…A shrewd fellow.’

-Rumble.

“… Tsk.”

“Walter deserves that. I’ve had a good feeling with Piriel lately.”

Belatedly, among the crowds that each spit out a word,

I saw a familiar, muscular fox-eared beastman.

“…Mr. Cluan?”

“So you mean… Huh?”

“What is this?”

“Ah. You guys don’t know yet…”

To concisely summarize what I heard from Mr. Cluan.

Recently, it is said that there have been a series of incidents in which an unknown assailant attacks guild members while they are returning home.

A little while ago, a man named Walter was angry and argued with the receptionist,

Some of the guy’s means of committing the crime are meticulous, but it’s not easy to catch traces because the victims haven’t opened their eyes yet.

‘… I can’t open my eyes.’

“Maybe…”

“Ah. Fortunately, out of misfortune… Everyone suffered severe injuries, but they said their lives were not affected.”

“…?”

That’s a strange thing.

If it’s enough to ambush you when you go home alone, it’s highly likely that it’s a grudge crime,

Is there no harm in life?

“…I think that’s why it’s more difficult to identify the culprit. It’s not just the guild members of a specific guild.”

“Don’t ask, is it like assault…?”

“Well, nobody knows.”

Not yet…

Ms. Clue Ann looked at us with a puzzled expression and opened her mouth.

“So. Did you guys come to pick up your things after the expedition today?”

“Yes.”

“Yes. You too, be careful on your way back home. If possible, walk on the main road with many people.”

Go on a busy road.

I haven’t heard it since I was in elementary school…

“…Yes.”

Well, Cluane-san said it because he was worried about us in his own way.

By the way…

‘Suddenly at this time…?’

Suddenly, a man with a strange mind is suddenly attacking the guild members while they are home?

Even if the time of the crime is the time to return home

Even though he is unarmed after being tired from attacking the gate.

No matter what, he is an active duty member of the B-class party.

It is that a reluctant criminal is not an opponent who can easily inflict effective damage.

Besides, the female victim is a vampire, so she must have been stronger during the night of the raid.

Anyway, now that the guild is investigating,

There is nothing I can do in particular.

Just lying on the dorm bed with a little anxiety?

“Huh…”

With a half-distraught expression on his face, he jumped into bed without even changing his clothes.

Puff!

‘Ah… I think I’ll live.’

Still, today was quite difficult compared to the level of the gate,

The level of fatigue accumulated in the body is not normal.

“Was it difficult?”

“…Don’t say that.”

“As expected, I’m glad I didn’t go into the martial arts department.”

“I have to be honest. It’s not that I didn’t go in, it’s that I didn’t go in.”

“Don’t you know that fights are usually eye-to-eye fights? Can you show me the clairvoyant punch?”

Shoo suk!

A nasty guy who punches the air to see if he has any strength left.

“…With that tactic, I heard that gate analysis will be outsourced from next week?”

“Damn it…”

Puff!

“I want to rest without thinking.”

“I agree.”

Whew.

“I’m not going to do this here…”

Wash quickly and wear comfortable clothes…

-Titling!

‘Huh?’

At this time?

Besides, seeing as Neneto didn’t get a notification,

It wasn’t a notification from a regular chat room.

“Who at this hour…”

-Grade.

‘…Grade?’

I’ve never exchanged text messages with him while practicing together…?

Tirik-

Let’s operate the smartwatch to check the text message from Grade.

-Grade: Help.

Just three letters without any additional explanation.

I hurriedly search the phone book and call Grade.

-Diri..

Click.

Seeing that he answered the phone before the dial tone died, it must have been urgent.

“What’s going on? What if I send three letters to my daughter?”

-Sorry. I’m not familiar with machine operation…

“So?”

At the words of Grade that followed,

I quickly put on the coat I had draped over the bed and grabbed the doorknob.

“Lai…? What happened?! Suddenly…”

“…I’ll be back soon!”

Boom!

-… Kirnaga. Still haven’t come back

It was late evening, well past 10:00.

Unlike the distant four sun guilds.

Since the guild that Kirna belongs to is located near the capital of Merhem,

It was never too late for Kirna to return to the dormitory as soon as her work was over after being caught in the same guild as her awkward friend.

The vacant lot outside the capital of Merhem.

– Kirna!!!

-Where did it disappear to…?

I wonder if I wasn’t the only one who asked for help,

I can hear voices looking for Kirna from all over the city.

“Grade!!”

“Kir… Are you here?”

“You haven’t found it yet?”

“… Uh.”

“Contact me.”

No matter what.

… What is this?

“At first glance, I think I heard that the guild said that you are looking for a specialty… Can I ask you a favor?”

“That’s right…”

At that time.

-Tillon!

Grade’s expression gets darker as he reads the text that has arrived.

The expression you see for the first time in a guy who always has a calm and gentle image.

Thanks to that,

I knew the worst had happened.
