Episode 234 – The Devil Who Drinks Blood 2 –

People are slowly starting to flock in.

A time when the outside of the academy becomes more active than inside.

One of the few times when outsiders can come and go freely at the academy.

The academy entrance ceremony is approaching.

“Still, I thought I would drop out soon. I finally came this far.”

“Originally, I had no intention of coming here at all. If I hadn’t been caught running away from home at that time, I wouldn’t have entered school.”

“Are you bragging?”

“I’m proud because my skills at that time were enough to beat the family’s pursuers. Besides, you worked hard, right?

Because I missed a lot of classes, I couldn’t go to my family’s house at the end of the semester, so I stayed in the dormitory and took the seasonal semester.”

Unlike when I was young, I had already mastered the art of assassination.

In most cases, you won’t be caught.

When I was young, I never thought about running away from home, so I missed it.

After the war record was made, surveillance became more severe and it was not easy to escape.

Then I got caught.

Because assassins are extremely vulnerable to vision.

“ and freshmen.”

It was also common in this world for people to get upset over a one or two year age difference.

It wouldn’t make much of a difference in the first place.

It was like that in the military too.

It was like that in college too.

What a difference 1 or 2 years makes. Call them babies or Jjamchi.

To achieve that level of difference in capabilities, you would have to be a genius.

I have to go through some experience.

That means.

“You look very excited. Your self-esteem will drop significantly as you compare yourself to those at the top.”

I mean it’s okay to say things like this.

If you add all of your current and former lives together, you’re in your 40s. It’s okay to say things like this to kids who aren’t even in their 20s.

Even if they are twice as old, I am older.

“Actually, there are a lot of kids like that.”

“Yes. He must have come here instead of to another academy because he is at least the best in his family. If you get below average grades here, your self-esteem will drop.”

The average has many pitfalls.

The average is literally an average, a measure that roughly indicates how central a group is.

However, if you think about the true meaning of average, this is not true.

This is because half of the population is bound to be below average.

“So half of them will have a lot of low self-esteem.”

“In the case of average, it is not an absolute evaluation but a relative evaluation.”

“It’s fortunate that the grades are based on absolute evaluation. Even if it is conducted in a tournament format, there are many defeater revival matches.”

I am worried about the Abrax fact.

At least you don’t have to be so upset.

Honestly, I didn’t even know if he would come here.

Was it that good? I’m not sure because I did all kinds of crazy things at home.

If you look at my serious analysis of what may seem like nonsense, it might be outstanding.

“When will the Marquis come?”

“You should have come the day before? He said there was something going on. They say only Abraxa is coming today.”

Those who pass the document test undergo a brief interview before the entrance ceremony.

Of course, the majority of humans pass.

This is because the document test checks whether you already have what it takes to graduate from the academy.

In the case of interviews, it is merely a process of confirming once more, as there may be some ordinary people whose feelings are distorted.

Considering my case, it seems like a meaningless clause.

Let’s think that extreme rudeness broke through the bottom and gave a feeling similar to extreme dignity.

There is a saying that polar opposites communicate.

“But Theseus, why didn’t your father come last time?”

Last time, me, Lucas, and Theseus’ family were all absent.

Honestly, I could understand in my case.

He didn’t want to come to the academy, but I even used a contract spell to force him to go.

I didn’t participate because there was no need to advertise that the family relationship was not good.

But in the case of Theseus, I don’t know why it was like that.

I think Lucas’ father didn’t go because he thought it was a hassle due to his personality.

“My father?”

“Uh. There was nothing strange happening in the north at that time.”

The Grand Duke of the North is not an idle position.

Therefore, it is not strange for someone to not attend due to something happening.

However, I am not a person who will not attend even if there is no special event.

And on the day my son, and even heir, enters the most prestigious university in the empire.

But I didn’t participate. There is a high possibility that something special is happening.

“I don’t know exactly. Something must have happened on Mt. Mugeuk back then?”

“In Mt. Mt.? What happened there?”

It’s been a while since I heard familiar words.

Mugeuksan Mountain, a mountain so high that it is difficult to know its end.

And the place where Petrowell was sealed.

What on earth happened there?

“No. It’s just that sometimes something strange happens. There were vibrations and things like that, not from under the mountain but from up on the mountain. So, I used to come up there often.

Now that I think about it, they say it has become less common these days. They say something like that hasn’t happened since a few months ago?”

There was something that came to mind in Theseus’ words.

I didn’t speak old-fashioned language.

‘It’s not because of Petrowell, is it?’

Honestly, I thought it was right.

It’s similar to when I went to the northern prison a few months ago.

At that time, it made sense if the disaster had lessened after saving Petrowell.

There’s no need to say it because it was a good thing.

“Then everyone will come this time except Count Benevolent.”

“I don’t know about my father, but my mother is already here.”

“Then we’re almost there. Maybe my brother will come this time too.”

“Is it the first time in many years that we all meet together?”

“Sure.”

It’s been a really long time since we all got together like this.

Even though there was a New Year’s ceremony and the emperor’s birthday, it was difficult to have a private conversation.

It is the day when the three families gather for the first time in several years.

It’s a bit unfortunate that Lucas’ father didn’t come.

“You were here.”

Then, a voice from nearby reached my ears.

A person who is no longer a stranger.

My girlfriend.

Alice Tantalota was standing next to me at some point.

“So when will your family come?”

“I think it will probably come the day before. Unlike new students, there is no need to come that early.”

“Then… What do you think would be a good title? ?”

Even if they are members of the royal family, they usually use an honorific title for their companion’s parents.

And even if a person is a nominal elder, he or she must use the same honorific title as the royal family member.

But we are not married yet.

There has never been any talk of engagement.

Either Alice cools down.

It doesn’t look like he’ll let me go, so the marriage will probably happen.

“I think it would be better to just leave it as is. Not much is known yet, but what if you faint after saying that?”

It’s still early.

I thought it would be better to just keep going.

“People come in over there.”

I looked at the square along with Theseus’ words.

Huge crowds starting to arrive on time.

Some people fight.

Some sing.

Some people head toward the entrance, chatting as if they haven’t seen each other in a while.

Just in time for the academy to be open to outsiders.

The next batch of students flocked in.

“Isn’t that your younger brother?”

“It’s true. It’s true about Abra.”

In the midst of such a crowd, Abraksal was seen entering.

They were coming in chatting with a friend they had made at some point.

“Oh my. That’s the kid from back then.”

“How many times have you seen it? I’m a junior now. Alice is a third year student, so we won’t see her often.”

“I guess so.”

There’s still time left until the semester starts anyway, so there’s nothing to do right now.

We just slowly watched the procession of new students.

“I think you are going to temporary accommodation?”

“Because I will do something only after unpacking.”

Abraxasil headed to the accommodation where I had stayed before.

The idea may be to unpack first and then take care of the rest.

I turned my head and looked at the people around me.

At that moment, other people were turning their heads to look at me.

Everyone’s gazes cross.

Our intentions have been conveyed.

“Let’s go.”

“Agree.”

“That’s right.”

“Let’s go.”

It was better to get hit first.

If you are going to greet seniors, it is better to greet them in advance.

===========

For Abraksal, today was a good day.

Imperial Academy, the most prestigious academy in the Helium Empire.

This was because it was the day I came in after passing the document screening process there.

In the case of the interview, it is virtually the same as passing the noble level.

You are now a full-fledged academy student!

Such happy thoughts lingered in my mind.

“Here. It’s my first home.”

Even though it is only a place to stay for a few weeks.

It was my first accommodation.

Such sentiments pervaded Abraxa.

Knock knock

“Yes.”

Until someone knocked on the door.

I like it ㅡ

Abraxa opened the door without any suspicion, thinking that they were his friends.

and…

“What.”

Those standing there, including Abraxas.

They were familiar faces.

These were people that Abraxasil had seen since he was young.

“Go in, go in. Let’s take a look at the room.”

“No. Why are you coming here? This isn’t a dormitory anyway!”

“I’m not here because it’s not a dormitory. If it was a dormitory, I wouldn’t have been able to come in without your permission.”

They came in and settled down.

Abraxa tried its best to prevent it in any way possible.

“No… So why on earth did you guys come!!! No, there was no need to come here!!!”

The reason I came up with at the end.

But for Abraxas, it was mediocre resistance.

“There is no particular reason? Was there a need for a reason?”

The way to perfectly deal with logic is to have no logic.

Abraxassil was completely speechless when he heard that there was no reason.

‘These people… ! then… ‘

The best way to respond to non-logic is non-logic.

Because this is the method that Abraxas has used against Abraxas for a long time.

He decided to do the same.

“Just go all out!!! This is… !”

However, the scene is only now beginning to appear.

A woman standing behind Abraxas and his friends.

I was mistaken in the past.

A woman I can never forget because I was mistaken.

“Tuesday… Princess!?!?”

Alice Tantalota.

The second princess of the empire.

she was standing

“Can I go out?”

At her words, Abraxasal’s face became tired of contemplation.

Boom~

“Huh?”

Abraksal fell to his seat.

Abraxas, like his brother, tried to wake him up by hitting him with his fist.

He didn’t even move.

“… hey. This guy fainted?”

he fainted
