At the word vampire, Cho-ah’s face turned pale.

Your face, which is usually pale, has become so pale that you look even more like a vampire, right?!

On the other hand, she is the daughter of the leader of the Van Helsing unit, a prestigious vampire-exterminating family.

Anastasia was holding Choa’s arm affectionately, not knowing that her friend was a vampire who had been tied to her for a thousand years.

“Obvious human.”

When I told him that fact, the hermeneutician Schlintz, who suspected me of being a member of the ‘long-lived race’, let out a scream.

“, and obviously a human being?!”

Why did I start to get more surprised when I saw an ordinary human being?

“That, that conquest is the conquest of Arpen Academy! And isn’t that a first-year conquest?!”

Ah, I see why Mr. Schlint was surprised. Because I killed Mad Kong.

That too, for a first-year student.

“Oh, and that sword on your waist! That’s no ordinary sword!”

Mr. Schlint, a B-class hermeneutician, said, rolling the outfield glasses he was wearing.

“There are so many treasured swords that even my skills can’t interpret!”

This is precisely why we need a class A hermeneutician.

Because B-class interpreters could only interpret items excavated from ruins up to the 【Unique】 grade.

At Mr. Schlints’ words, many of the Rangers who had slender bodies like models looming behind them were unable to hide their surprise.

“Oh my god···. You were wearing such nice equipment?”

“You must be a rich kid, Lucius.”

Then someone grabbed my shoulder.

That’s right, it was Arisha Youngae.

“Huh, then whose dog is Lucius···？”

Then, there was a ranger named ‘Rania’.

Something has been boiling diligently at the expedition team’s campfire for some time now.

“Everyone, have a cup of green herbal tea to clear your head before your exploration.”

“Wow – How can Sister Rania be so kind?”

I smiled and took a sip of the herbal tea she offered me.

* * *

Our group finally stepped into the main ruins.

“Forest trolls are known to be violent, so it’s best to keep a safe distance or avoid approaching them.”

Oh my gosh!

Several rangers, who had begun to prepare for battle in earnest, took to the front lines with swords and shields in hand.

“We will do our best to keep you safe.”

“Then what should we do?”

Yuriel, a top student who was planning to switch to the [Temple Warrior] position because her main weapon was a sword and shield, asked with a frown.

“Today, we will just watch how the site is being excavated and what various things are happening. Also, there are friends who came for a field trip, right?”

At Karina’s words, the Ranger Search Party members laughed.

As soon as Sergei described the national secret project as a ‘field experience learning’, they realized what was happening. They are so quick-witted.

‘Is it okay if I just broaden my horizons today?’

Ding, ding…

At that moment, a sound like the sound of a drum was heard from the front.

The rangers, with their shields raised, looked ahead and spoke.

“Be careful! As soon as you enter the wide passage, this time the forest trolls are again···.”

“These guys···. They knew our moves.”

When Karina, with a dubious expression, sent hand signals to the left and right.

Large trolls appeared from the front and roared.

“Kuwawaaa!”

“Kuwaaaa …

As expected of trolls known to live in groups of a few individuals, when one of them roared, the others followed suit.

“Gyaaak… Seriously, a troll appeared!”

Soon, several rangers surrounded us, the students, in a circle and said:

“Don’t worry! We won’t be going into the Abyssal Zone today, so we’ll escort you safely!”

Push! Push! Shushu!

As soon as those words were out, the rangers started firing arrows.

Dozens of arrows simultaneously cut through the air, hitting the trolls’ weak points with precision.

“Kuwaaah!”

The trolls who had been hit in the eye, and the trolls who had been hit in a bad part, let out a scream.

Ting! Ting!

But one of the trolls is like [Armored Troll].

He was wearing a protective gear made of iron plates on the chest.

Moreover, a number of trolls approached, holding what looked like wooden planks to protect their faces.

As if we had invented a ‘shield’.

“Does it look like the guys wearing clothes I’ve never seen before are wearing them?”

One of the rangers who was sharpening his arrows in front spoke to Karina.

“Damn, these guys. They seem to have the ability to learn!”

Boom! Boom!

The trolls who were suffering from being hit by arrows under their eyes gradually decreased in number.

This is because the majority of them gradually lifted the huge wooden plank they were holding in their left hands to perfectly guard their faces.

“It’s getting closer!”

A troll’s thick hide cannot be easily pierced even with an arrow imbued with magic power. Unless you are a skilled archer with a title like [Master Archer], such as a ‘Bowmaster’.

“Everyone, with melee weapons, protect the children!”

“Kuwaaaa …

Finally, the trolls’ assault began.

Tuqwaqwaqwaqwa -!

The troll with the injured eye roared.

The troll, limping with an arrow lodged in its chest, then let out a roar.

Their wounds were healed cleanly in an instant, as if they had never happened.

“Sa, the wound is···!!”

“Are you all better?!”

The incredible regenerative powers of green monsters that you only see in textbooks!

When we actually checked it, the young ladies’ mouths dropped open.

“Dude, how on earth am I supposed to fight against an enemy like that···?!”

“······.”

A tense situation where life and death may come and go!

At that moment, there was no one else but me who was laughing.

Because, there was a guy who could tear apart Forest Trolls with one hand and still have some left over. He said something like that.

Chook, chook-!

Tukwakwakang!

“Guraaa …

The sound of trolls thumping could be heard dizzyingly from up ahead.

Kwak!

He pretended to swing his club at a troll, but ended up kicking the stomach of a ranger standing next to him.

“Ouch!”

The kicked ranger screamed in pain.

But… the direction it was kicked in was right towards the trolls’ camp.

“Ukyakakaka!”

“Yes. Okay!”

Until then, the trolls had only been able to babble, but they finally began to speak to humans and speak in language.

Thud-!

The guys who caught one of the rangers who was thrown into the air suddenly started to retreat.

“Damn it…! Today too…······.”

The trolls retreated, cheering in an unknown language and waving the loot they had taken in the air.

Then the rangers gnashed their teeth and shed tears.

From the eyes of the young ladies, teardrops gradually flowed down to their chins.

“Whoaang! Instructor Lania···.”

Come to think of it, when Rania first saw us in the village.

He warned us to be careful of the monsters’ “maturing” season.

Even after arriving at the camp, he was a ranger who checked the combat skills of the young ladies one by one, so the young ladies called him ‘Instructor’ and followed him very much.

“Why, aren’t you saving it···？”

At my words, Karina clenched her molars and spoke with a sigh.

“Before, too. I tried to save you…but there was a bigger sacrifice.”

I looked around carefully at the faces around me.

Everyone had the same expression of fear.

Not only the Young-aes, but also the Rangers’ direct unit members who were supposed to protect the Young-yes all had expressions of despair.

Among them, Sergei’s bewildered expression caught my eye, as if to say, ‘What kind of field trip is this?’

‘If there’s a guy…’

I thought it might be worth a try.

“Sergei! I’ll leave the rear to you.”

“Just leave it to me-!”

I knew he would come out like that.

“CRAAAH-!”

Sergei turned to face the front and let out a roar like the roar of a cave lion.

The surprised trolls all look back.

Tsk tsk tsk-!

[I felt the vivid fear of death. My vampire instincts are activated! All stats increase by 50. I am thirsty for blood.]

[I felt the situation was unfavorable. I activated ‘The important thing is an unbreakable spirit’. The agility stat became ’98 -> 196′.]

[Activates Wind Chasing Lv.9! Footwork speed increases by 90%.]

As soon as I felt the energy rising between my legs.

My new model suddenly disappeared.

“Luciusuuuu-!!”

============

This is Rania, who was dragged away by the trolls and Lucius went to rescue her….!!
