Chapter 70 – Snow Ball (3)

The next morning.

When I came to my senses, Iona was in front of me.

“Hi! Hi! Did you enjoy last night?”

“?”

Why are you lying in the same bed as me?

Dark red hair. Intricate facial features. Playful voice.

No matter where I looked, the person lying next to me was Iona.

I rubbed my eyes once to see if I hadn’t woken up, but I opened them again.

“What is this again… ?”

The fact that Iona was in front of him remained unchanged.

Io didn’t care about her voice filled with my doubts, and she took a familiar pose.

Her arms are raised and her body leans forward… The posture she usually takes whenever she enters the classroom.

For a moment, she was taken aback by the large chest that had suddenly been pushed in front of her eyes.

If you can’t hear it anymore, the empty lines rang in your ears.

“Iona appears!”

“No, you shouldn’t appear here, Professor.”

Even though she had a different face than mine, I answered confidently with a smile.

“Ahem! Ahem! I am a good professor, so I came to visit the injured student!”

“Since when did hospital visits mean sharing the same bed?”

More than that, I must have fallen asleep playing with Carla yesterday… ?

Taking a quick look around her, she could spot Carla right next to her, looking this way with a sullen attitude.

A look that brightens up as soon as her eyes meet.

“Are you awake, Master? Aren’t you thirsty? Can I get you some water? Or even the bathroom….”

As if she had been waiting, Carla came to ask me about this and that.

She realized it only when she saw her obsession to somehow get me out of bed.

“Did you lose your seat?”

“… Yes. The professor told me that she had something important to do, so she asked me to stand up for a while, and she just lay down.”

Karla pouted her lips and said that.

Iona, who suddenly became a professor who somehow tried to lie down next to her student, jumped up.

“Too much, too much! Carla is a grump! I meant to lie down with you with good intentions!”

“Isn’t that mean?”

“Because it’s real! And it’s not me who’s sneaky, it’s Yandel students! You know I just took one look at my chest, right?”

“Well what….”

Due to the nature of vampires, the part created solely to seduce the opposite sex is thrust right in front of the nose, isn’t it a natural reaction?

“By the way. Professor Iona treats Carla very comfortably. Everyone seems to feel awkward seeing her come back as a slave all of a sudden.”

“Whoops! How old do you think I am, Yandel student!”

“372 years old.”

“… Uh? Yes. Right. How did you know?”

“Because Professor Iona is very famous.”

I said that while shrugging her shoulders, but I actually saw it in the character profile someone put together at the H&A cafe.

Iona is a suspiciously popular character, and despite the fact that she was impossible to capture, information about her went around.

She answered without much thought, but Iona, who tilted her head, continued her words belatedly, as if she was a little taken aback.

“Hmm. If you know me well, the story will be fast! When you get this old, you become a little blunt to the rise and fall of others! For 300 years, not one or two students have dropped out due to family problems!”

Uh… The Great War ended about 300 years ago. The academy was built right after that, so it wouldn’t be wrong to roughly round it off….

I realized Iona’s age again, so it’s monga monga.

Should I say the difference between the age you know only in the setting and the age you can feel right in front of you?

Still, I know Iona will treat her Carla as normal as she used to.

Should I be happy about this or not? While looking at Iona with a subtle expression.

Before I knew it, Iona changed her expression and continued her words with a smile.

“Anyway, anyway! There is a different reason why I lay next to Yandel students! I know that all of my wounds have healed, but my energy might be waning, right? If so, I was going to share some of my true blood… There’s no need for that!”

“Professor’s true blood… ?”

“Yes! Maybe it’s because he’s young, he’s recovering quickly!”

Vampires’ blood is a special crystal created by purifying their blood.

All the miscellaneous energy has been removed, and the pure life force has been gathered together… In fact, it’s a good thing to say that it’s a quasi-elixir.

It was so difficult to create, and unless you were a vampire above a certain level, you couldn’t even make it at all.

Ah, there is no need to worry about becoming a vampire just because you ate blood.

In order to create a new vampire, there are many things other than pure blood.

What’s more, Io has no intention of expanding her own circle.

What’s more important now isn’t how vampires reproduce.

“So… Are you saying that you were thinking of giving me blood?”

“Yes? Right?”

She quickly lowered her head and began to moan.

“Ah! Head… My stomach… ! I feel sick all of a sudden and I think I need to eat something good… Specifically, to maximize the natural healing power… !”

“… Yes?”

“Aagh! Broken bones… ! Even breathing hurts… Even potions can’t restore this… Where can a vampire like a strong, pretty, and kind professor not give me a single blood….”

As she continued her awkward acting with glancing glances, Lee Oh-na took out a bright red bead with a shy expression.

“It doesn’t matter since I was thinking of giving it to you if you need it from the beginning….”

“Thank you professor!”

Before Iona changed her mind, she accepted the crystallized blood.

Later, she should use the whitened magic candle to make an elixir.

If you harmonize her vitality and magic well, the quality of the elixir will increase.

Instead, if it’s twisted, something that’s not right or wrong will come out, but if it’s her Fay’s skills, she’ll be able to coordinate it well.

As she smiled and put her blood into her inventory, Iona stood up from her bed.

“Little! Jo Oh Geum is like that! Anyway, I’m glad you’re feeling better! Now let’s move on to the second main point! Do Yandel students know how things are going right now?”

“Roughly. I heard something from Carla. It’s only about what happened after I passed out.”

“Aha? Then I’ll add some more! First of all, while the Yandel students passed out, the academy turned upside down once. Didn’t you take the first-year chicks to practice and almost get killed by cultists?”

Carla overheard that not only the other professors at the academy, but also the families of her students were in trouble.

“By the way, there were also voices blaming Yandel students for this at first, right? Because of the achievements of the turbid unity church, weren’t other students also attacked as well! Blame the student! It was the same nonsense.”

“Well, she had her own child die or almost died, and how many people can stay sane? … Surely you didn’t take it seriously?”

“Of course not! You said that the reason why it became a feat in the first place was because you killed a bishop before entering the academy? What’s wrong with her fighting a cultist and becoming an enemy. In the first place, all cultists are no different from enemies.”

A voice that softened for a moment. From that cynical attitude, Iona’s resentment towards the cult has been transmitted to this point.

She knew it in her head, but it’s a bit startling to come in like this.

Did you notice my reaction? Iona smiled broadly and continued speaking in her usual tone.

“So so! What was I just about to say? But aren’t the righteous priests of light stepping out before me? If you’re trying to kick Yandel students out and leave them defenseless, they’re saying that you’re actually a cult!”

“Huh….”

The priests of this world are basically good.

The moment you get stained with corruption, the recovery of holy power is basic, and if it gets worse, he’s a bastard! It’s only natural that the same oracle comes down.

It can be seen as a kind of convergent evolution.

All the bad priests are dead, so only the good priests remain.

Anyway, aren’t those priests cultists? Saying the same thing, no matter how militant the Just Light Church, is not uncommon.

I understand why.

While receiving the protection of the sun god at a considerable level, he went around cutting cultists with their holy things?

The Church of the Righteous Light, who trembles at cultists, deserves to take care of me.

It may not be as much as the Church of the Righteous Light, but hatred of cultists is the passive of the Church of Good Gods, so they must have shielded it elsewhere.

As she nodded her head alone, Iona smiled and continued her words.

“Anyway, anyway! What’s the point of saying that the award should be given to the Yandel student instead because things went that way? Actually I think so too! For a freshman to take down an archbishop-level cultist is truly incredible!”

The political purpose has also become stronger, but the goal of establishing the academy is to finish the work that the first warrior, Rahim, could not do.

In other words, clearing all dungeons and subduing cultists and monsters.

Now I can understand the pride of the academy that I saw in the system window, and the nobleman of the Good God Church.

I guess that’s how things went.

“So that’s it! Do you need anything? You can exchange them for points if you want!”

“Five. That’s a little tempting.”

I don’t know how much they’ll exchange, but if you settle your grades for this semester, you’ll be able to buy quite a few things at the Achievement Shop.

However, there is nothing you need right now.

I don’t know if it’s the most expensive dragon heart fragment, but it’s better to stick to the growth plan that I’ve set up a long time ago than to take the rest too much.

That’s it here too.

“I want the academy to accommodate me.”

“Convenience? Already a student in Class A, do you need anything more here?”

“It’s nothing… Whether it’s practice, class, or whatever else. Please let me always accompany Carla wherever I go.”

“It is not difficult… Are you really okay? It’s good that the Yandel student cares for Karla, but she could be dangerous.”

“Oh, don’t worry about that. Carla?”

“Yes!”

When her name is called, Carla runs over.

“Left hand.”

“Yes!”

“Right hand.”

“Here you go!”

“Fireball.”

“Get up. Scatter Fireball.”

Fire.

Magic that unfolds at a speed that cannot be compared to mine.

He smiled at Iona, who blankly stared at the fireball rising in the air.

“It’s dangerous, so we have to take it.”

By the way, the dangerous thing is on my side.
