Chapter 146 – Iona Observation Diary

Iona Francesca.

A 372-year-old road-level vampire.

Her job is an academy professor.

Her favorite thing is to kill cultists.

Her dislike is cultists.

Her specialty is blood magic.

Her appearance is blood red hair and eyes. And her stunning figure is very characteristic.

She just can’t seduce her students, so she goes around hiding her own charms with her blunt words and conscious suppression of fascination.

She’s like, she’s so natural that sometimes she wonders if that’s her original personality.

Surprisingly, it is said that the original Iona was a much more dangerous and violent person.

That would be the case, too, because I was a mighty vampire who had been famous even before the War of the Gods, and she was the heir to a fairly large clan.

However, as the war intensified, vampires, like other races, stood at a crossroads of choice.

As a result, some turned to cults, while others joined forces with other races to fight against the forces of evil spirits.

Iona, who chose her alliance, and her clan were active in many battlefields, but perhaps because of that, she was ambushed and annihilated by cultists.

Her only survivor is Iona.

Crazy for her revenge, as if Iona would throw away her life that she had saved, she began to stir all kinds of battlefields.

In this era, even strong people who have crossed the wall, such as sword masters and great wizards, are dying if they are unlucky, so it is a perfect eccentricity to die a violent death.

However, Iona somehow survived thanks to her innate fighting sense and her vampiric tenacious vitality.

And she got stronger

It was a time when she had no choice but to become stronger if she didn’t die, so it would have been natural if it was natural.

She has risen to the level of a high-ranking wizard, and has accumulated enough karma in blood, which can be said to be the essence of a vampire.

Thanks to this, she succeeded in obtaining the qualifications of a rod to create a clan on her own, but….

Iona said that her entire clan was dead, and continued the fight alone without creating a new clan.

Until the hero seals the evil spirit and ends the war. Without rest. Continue.

That’s also why Iona is called a road-class vampire, not a vampire lord.

Just as a king without subordinates is not a king, a lord without followers cannot be called a lord.

However, Iona’s power is too strong to be called a vampire, so she gave her the modifier “Road-class”.

What comes after that… She feels the limits of what an individual can do, and she became a professor at the academy and has reached this point.

Unlike the bloody past, Iona, who became a professor, was a person who was very friendly.

Her goal has not wavered for 300 years.

Kill all remaining cultists.

If her magnetism is impossible on her own, she makes her disciples stronger and kills the cultists.

Even if it takes several hundred years, I am willing to endure it.

Still Io I couldn’t forget her family or her clanmates who were nothing like her, dying.

…… This is all I know about Iona.

Oh, and to add one more thing, she’s pretty active in the second half of H&A?

However, this is only a cutscene where she briefly fights, so she doesn’t know exactly how she fights.

Looking at it this way, she seems to know quite a bit… In the end, it’s just things that don’t pass by deeds.

The things I need to know are a little more detailed elements.

According to the story she heard in the library, she said that her constitution changed a long time after she stopped direct vampirism.

If so, if she bleeds in front of her eyes, will her suppressed instinct react and her mind wander?

If so, can I use it to my advantage?

In addition to that, the personality hidden behind the chubby words and actions, and the effect that personality has on the fighting style, etc.

It is necessary to learn about Iona itself, not the footsteps of Iona.

Wouldn’t it be possible to feed them somehow?

“For that reason, I decided to observe Professor Iona for a few days. I’ll be moving alone after school for a while, so you guys are waiting in the dormitory first. It’s noisy when a lot of people move.”

“Master… That’s called stalking.”

“Ugh! Stalking! It’s called strategic intelligence gathering!”

“…….”

There are many things she wants to say, but Carla’s expression seems to be holding back.

It seems as if he is contemplating where to start and how to explain this to a child who proudly brought the answer 1+1=11.

Wasn’t Elisha, the party she was talking about, no different?

Surely, until yesterday, I was happy to praise her so much, and she was waving her blue bun.

Now, he is showing a calm appearance, as if he drank in ice water.

“Yandel. My you Even if you catch a weakness, don’t forget to always think after it.”

“After that?”

“Professor Iona is not your enemy. Either way, she’s here to help you. So, you should avoid doing things that you might hate too much.”

“That… That’s right. Yes.”

Although the method is too rough, Iona is teaching me with all her heart.

More than anything, there was a time when he showed his kindness by saying that he would provide a few conveniences if he handled the cult well.

There’s no need to reduce allies with my own hands.

“As expected, the collection of strategic information should be put on hold….”

“So, today, let’s wear this robe, you.”

“?”

While they are bewildered by completely different contents than expected. Elisha puts on a transparent robe with her gentle touch.

Finally, after trimming my clothes neatly, he patted my chest and raised a smirk.

A smile like that of an aristocrat who plots bad things.

I looked at Rob and Elisha blankly for a moment, then nodded to her.

“Right. It’s okay if you don’t get caught.”

“Yes. It’s fine if you don’t get caught.”

“Khehehehe!”

“Oh-ho-ho-ho!”

Carla’s sigh leaks through the mean laughter that fills her room.

It was class time.

***

“Goodbye today too! How is everyone preparing for the test? They say you only need to do sparring for the magic combat course, but there are a lot of things to prepare for the other subjects!”

Of course, I am properly prepared. Theory classes are memorized in their entirety thanks to the excellent memory characteristics, so there is no need to worry.

Since there is Karla, who has also gone to the 4th grade for the rest, she is getting her tweezers tutoring roughly how it will come out.

Even in the top class, A class, grades are important.

Even so, grades that exceed a certain cut-off point are points. That’s why the store’s penalty points are converted to something unreasonable.

This is because it can be exchanged for various items in the special support for excellent students, which is called the achievement shop among users.

Usually, most of the students change to something like an elixir, a rare scroll, or a high-ranking magic tool, but….

After all, those are things that can only be obtained with gold.

The significance of the Achievement Shop is that items that require a lot of points but cannot be obtained even with gold.

In particular, the dragon heart piece at the top is an essential item for my plan….

Thanks to the much more active than in the game, the 3rd year at this rate… No, maybe I’ll be able to collect all the points I need in my sophomore year.

While calculating the points she would gain from this test, she kept her eyes on Iona.

Even though she had a bloodsucking bag the size of mine, she stomped forward, jumped, waved her hands, etc. I can’t feel the shaking even with various exaggerated movements.

It’s a phenomenon that can’t be easily understood, no matter how generously you wear clothes.

She tried to focus her mind on the thought, but she couldn’t even feel her magical power.

Then there is only one conclusion left.

That you have perfect control over your body’s center of gravity.

What kind of wizard is so good at using his body… ?

Still, if you think about it, it makes sense.

Unlike her other wizards, Iona had been fighting the cultist ‘alone’.

Of course, she must have prepared for her physical abilities and close combat, which are the chronic weaknesses of wizards.

… Somehow, even if I tried to engage in close combat during sparring, I was always beaten back.

I guess I’ll have to let go of the idea that if it’s melee, it’s going to work out somehow.

It’s true that I move her body better than other wizards, but I don’t think I’m comparable to Iona.

She’s already learned one. Why didn’t I know this until now?

In her head, it was only for a while that she completely erased her melee items from Iona’s strategy.

Iona, who abruptly looked away from her, asked, playfully curling the corners of her eyes.

“What? Where do you feel the warm gaze… Yandel student. Do you know where it is?”

“My respect for the professor isn’t usually hot.”

“Eh….”

Iona sighed with a slightly awake expression.

“There, there… Did you eat the wrong breakfast or something?”

“No. Anyway, if I fight with the professor in the morning, I will throw up everything, so I skip breakfast these days.”

“Ah….”

Lee Oh-na herself seemed a little sorry, perhaps knowing that her classes were a bit rough these days.

“You know, you know. Shall we lower the intensity of sparring a little? You even collapsed yesterday. She was also scolded by Priest Colhen….”

The name of the picky middle-aged priest you saw last time was Colhen, right?

However, lowering her difficulty now is rather a no-brainer from this side.

He shook her head resolutely.

“No. Please just go like this. I am fine.”

When I said that while staring at her blood-red eyes, Iona sighed and avoided her gaze for some reason.

“Weird… She obviously had her heart pierced, but she didn’t hurt her head….”

A sorry story.

I’m perfectly normal

Maybe.
