by adminEpisode 134 – Quarterly Exam 3 –
I don’t know what kind of idiot this work came from, but it boasts a schedule that will make it look like a military training camp.
Because the kids here learn Auror, they are at least stronger than ordinary people.
That’s not quite right.
‘Wake-up and bathing are one thing, but why are building resistance to biochemical weapons bundled together?’
I don’t know what kind of piece of data it was extracted from.
It’s not normal.
I don’t know if it’s waking up + bathing + breakfast.
The combination of waking up + bathing + biochemical training was unheard of.
‘no. Why do you sing military songs? ‘I don’t think you know he’s a noble.’
There were times when we sang school songs or something like that during retreats.
This is a test.
What kind of guy came up with a plan like that during the test?
‘The rest is still doable even though it is difficult for martial arts majors who learned Auror skills… ‘
Still, there were a few strange things, but they were manageable among knights who had learned Auror skills.
This is a relative evaluation anyway, so difficulty level doesn’t really matter.
‘however… What’s the point of surviving an hour in a fire? Does that work?’
If you can survive in a fire for 1 hour, you might think that you are immune to the fire attribute.
That’s something I don’t know.
What if I could endure it without consuming any aura?
It is meaningless if you consume aura to endure it.
If you can only block fire by using aurors, it means that in actual combat, you can only block fire by recognizing attacks.
Ultimately, this means that training to endure is only useful when the battlefield is in a place like a volcanic crater.
‘Is it mental strength training like UBT training?’
however… Why do it now?
This is a test, not a retreat?
I don’t know the exact reason.
“Everyone looks suspicious. However, there is a reasonable reason for this.”
“What is it?”
“Vampires are rampant right now. And Seonghwangcheong is busy. Therefore, if the vampire invasion begins, we will eventually be in danger.
Vampires are a kind of disaster. Since it is impossible to stop it, we need to improve our response methods.”
They invented this method because of vampires.
There were many things I still didn’t understand.
What does this have to do with vampires?
One cadet raised his hand and asked Professor Maximilian, as there were quite a few cadets who had the same thoughts as me.
“I understand that it turned into an alien test because of the vampire. But what does that test content have to do with vampires?”
“That’s a good point. If so, you should answer me.”
Maximilian continued speaking.
“Vampires are a race that is further from humans than dragons. Of course, it is only natural now that it has been revealed that elves and dwarves are humans.
Anyway. You’re dealing with something that common sense doesn’t apply to. You can just defeat a dragon with force, but you can’t do that with a vampire even if they are strong.”
Vampires are a more exotic species than dragons.
You don’t sleep, you don’t drink, and your wounds regenerate without any problems.
Unless it is a ‘restoration’ of divine power, the only way to kill it is to tear it into pieces and leave it to dry in the sun.
All you have to do is push until you run out of blood.
“So, if the vampires attack, it will be a long-term war. And vampires have something very special different from other races.”
Religious.
No one answered, but everyone knew.
The main method of reproduction in vampires.
A method of turning humans into vampires by sucking blood from them.
Except for a very small number of true vampires.
It is possible for any human being to become a vampire by receiving vampire blood.
“So, if you don’t arm your mind, there is a greater chance of becoming a vampire’s descendant. The fight against vampires inevitably becomes a war of attrition.
If you don’t arm your mind, it will eventually collapse. The end will be just a life as a slave.”
Becoming a vassal is a serious crime next to treason under imperial law.
If it is not intentional, you can be exempted for now.
The worst condition is that the title you hold and your direct descendants are not allowed to enter the eternal aristocratic society.
When the cadets heard that such a situation could happen, they steeled themselves.
‘I don’t want to fight a vampire… Clearly the relationship between the Empire and vampires is really bad. Stupid nobles. What is eternal life?’
Since ancient times, there have been many people who have been interested in eternal life.
It is said that Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty, was also interested in eternal life and died after eating mercury.
There are many ways to live eternal life.
There is a way to stop aging by raising your level like a swordsman.
There is a way to ‘cure’ even aging with a treatment like Allicor.
There is a way to ‘restore’ the body to before it aged using extremely advanced divine power.
And for the high-ranking nobles of the empire, the easiest way is.
It was to become a vampire.
Alice costs a lot of money and is limited in quantity.
Methods for raising one’s level are more limited.
In the case of sacred power, there is no way that the Holy Emperor, which envisions life after death, would allow divine power for that reason.
The most ideal way is to cultivate arable land.
It wasn’t easy. Nobles chose to become vampires.
Even if wealth can be earned again. Even if power can be regained.
The judgment of Helium nobles in the past was that life cannot be regained after death.
‘But who knew? ‘I guess I’ll lose it all in the end.’
The way for a human to become a vampire is simple.
All you have to do is accept the blood of a vampire.
It is known that the method is to be sucked by blood.
That’s just a way for a vampire to force blood into you.
If you receive blood through any route without resistance, you can become a vampire.
Originally, it would have to be resisted by Aurors, the source of life.
The blood of a vampire mixed with blood was eventually able to change the body without resistance.
So many people became vampires.
Vampires can control their own blood.
He was also able to control his descendants with vampire blood.
Because the blood of the fused family also contained his own blood.
In the case of family members, they had no choice but to absolutely follow the orders of their blood lord.
The problem originates here.
For a vampire, to preserve his life, he must follow the orders of his blood lord.
In the case of vampires who become household members, they are family to someone before they are vampires and slaves of the blood lord.
Of course, nobles who became dependents according to the orders of their blood lords could use their family names.
There were even times when the head of the family went to the extent of following the orders of the blood leader.
As situations like this increase, the empire is in danger of being taken over by vampires who are not citizens of the empire.
The Empire officially declared the exclusion of vampires.
If you become a vampire voluntarily, the three clans will be annihilated.
Even if it is not voluntary, it blocks the advancement of his direct descendants.
Of course, if you are annihilated by a priest yourself, the restrictions will be lifted immediately.
To that extent, the empire is wary of vampires.
That’s why there was such a backlash to my remarks at the auction.
‘In the end, it’s something that was hastily organized to improve mental strength. No matter how bad the condition of Seonghwangcheong is. It seems like the incident is happening too quickly.’
At this point, I really get curious about Seonghwangcheong in the past.
The Lion Corps, the Evil God Church, and some demons under the vampires.
They are all attacking at once as Seonghwangcheong is weakened.
“So prepare everything. Gather here by 5 a.m. tomorrow.”
Because it was a real test, not something special.
I didn’t go somewhere like a retreat.
It really seems like it was a test.
‘No matter how much I think about it, can the class be changed by something like that? I think the purpose is correct to some extent… ‘Is it real?’
The mind cannot be trained by training it.
In general, the mind becomes dull and cannot be trained.
Therefore, if you try to train intensively in a short period of time, it will only reduce your mental strength.
Of course, if you’re used to it, it’s not that much of a problem, so it’s effective.
That is only in cases where it is repeated to the point where it becomes familiar.
Special forces training is out of the question as it is not a test but a case of voluntary enlistment.
‘Is there some intervention? No. There were a lot of idiots on Earth who thought they could overcome it with mental power.
‘It’s no wonder that there are people here who practice such tenacity.’
Even in Korea, it is humans who have created something miraculous called the Laughing Bell.
There were people who really thought that just laughing would solve the problem.
If you put it in an extreme situation, it is “better than before… It must have started with the simple thought that I could endure it, thinking ”.
There is no reason for professors to change the test content every now and then, leaving only the practical, practical, and written tests that professors are familiar with.
There was probably pressure from outside.
“Then let’s see tomorrow. Let everyone disperse. Please make sure to inform the cadets who were unable to come here.”
With that, we returned without much gain.
“Hey… What should I do?”
“Why are you taking this as culture?”
With a nerd wizard.
========
Dark room.
It may seem gloomy, but it has a decadent charm thanks to the antique furniture.
It’s not as flashy as the Tantalota coffin.
Still, it appears to be a land with a very deep history.
This was the first Constantine pavilion where Arianna Crowfield stayed.
“So… Was the operation successful?”
Arianna Crowfield was waiting for the deacon’s answer through the communication cable inside Constantine’s coffin.
[That’s right. It spread the scandal between the healing saint and Abraxas. Some actually think it’s a possibility.
And, using the good cause of being a vampire, they turned the exam into a kind of retreat. At a retreat where grades are held hostage, I will join you without any doubts… There will be more rumors.]
“Good. First of all, the priority is to cool down Princess Alice. A relationship based on love, not an arranged marriage.
Assuming there is affection, such a relationship exerts the power to ignore all rational choices, but the moment the affection cools down… ”
[It becomes more rational than any other business relationship.]
“Yes.”
The reason why this strange test was created at the Academy was simple.
There was direct pressure from the Crowfield Dukedom.
Teachers must maintain political neutrality.
This is because if a teacher is political and forces his or her ideology on students, there can be many problems.
Therefore, all employees of the Imperial Academy were the emperor’s subordinates.
But that didn’t mean pressure couldn’t be applied.
Even though it was politically neutral, it didn’t mean it wasn’t under pressure.
This is because I listened to it within an appropriate range.
Having an appropriate justification also helped tremendously.
“What about other operations?”
[Other operations are also underway… .]
“Good. I must have entered the beginning slowly.”
Ariana continued to think about the next operation.
However, the expression on the deacon’s face who said those words was not good.
This is because I was confused as to whether the path my master was taking was really right.
The consensus was that the position had a dignity appropriate for it.
And even by his standards, Abraxas was disqualified from character.
no. He was sure that even his parents would never call Abraxas a decent human being.
However, that did not mean he was a person without abilities.
‘There are many other problem children… How could it be difficult… ‘
If you want to see something, it’s okay to just go.
The Duke of Crowfield was not a miscellaneous family, nor was she objectively extremely incompetent, so condoning it would not have led to the downfall of the family.
However, he was in a position to assist Duke Crowfield for decades.
Moreover, he himself had the status of a viscount.
With more days to live than there are days to live, he decided to give advice to the family he serves.
[however. I’m sorry… May I add one thing to Duke Xiao… ]
“Tell me.”
[Why are you so hostile towards Abraxas Youngsik? No matter how unbecoming it may be, I have doubts.]
“Which one?”
[There are many people in this land who have many other problems. There are a lot of nobles who are incompetent but full of shame. Compared to those people…
My opinion is that Abraxas’s spiritual skills are relatively better.]
“Are you defending him?”
[We are discussing efficiency. I also keenly feel that Abraxas Yeongsik has risen to a position that is higher than his dignity.
But that doesn’t mean he’s incompetent. However, this land is full of people who have no dignity and are incompetent, but only hold high positions.]
“That’s true. As much as he has no dignity, he is a person with a quick head.”
[It will be a great fight to defeat Abraxas Youngsik without antagonizing Marquis Mentutihotep.
Yeongsik is not incompetent, so we need to create a justification. With that level of power, it may be objected that it is a far-fetched justification for cleaning up others.]
What the butler thought was simple.
It is more difficult to knock down one big thing than to knock down several small things.
If you attack Abraxas first, it will take too much effort to defeat him, making it difficult to plan later.
Rather, it is a more efficient choice to hit the others first and then Abraxas.
“… ”
Ariana knew that well.
But I didn’t want to hear it.
Why?
There is definitely nothing wrong in logic.
I also knew that the butler was giving advice.
So I was even more confused.
Does he really hate Abraxas that much?
why?
why?
[Everything happens for a reason. No matter how trivial it may be, it is the same. It doesn’t make sense without a reason.
It could all be due to things like it not being my taste, my body odor being unpleasant, etc.]
[So what do you want to say?]
[If you don’t like me, there must be a good reason.]
‘Damn it. ‘I remember what that idiot said and it’s like hell.’
It reminded me of the time the two met a long time ago.
Why?
Why do I hate that person so much?
[You don’t know? It’s normal. It is said that humans have not yet discovered how the brain works. It has been revealed that muscles move based on electrical signals.
We couldn’t even properly identify the body. You may not even know it. I don’t know much about myself either.]
[There is no reason for malice? I guess I heard another strange proverb somewhere. But you know what? There is a reason for that too.
just. I don’t like it because it’s not my taste. That’s why. It’s not that there isn’t a reason, that’s the reason.]
‘Damn it. It reminds me again.’
She didn’t know exactly why she didn’t like him.
But I didn’t want to admit it.
Because not knowing about himself meant that what he said came true.
[And do you know when I usually hate someone the most? He is a person who ■■ himself. There are people who ■■ themselves just by existing.]
Although she seemed to have a conversation going on in her head about why she hated him.
I just skipped it.
Anyway, just because it was true didn’t change anything.
“Go ahead. Because he’s the one who will come down anyway.”
[All right.]
She let it proceed.
I hope it works this time.
