Became an Academy Self-Inflicted Blackmailer chapter 82

82 – Sports Competition, Beginning (2)

Eve, the only princess of the El Pale Empire.

She clearly has imperial blood.

In a way, that silver aura can be said to be proof of that.

‘It’s strange.’

But.

Even after seeing such an auror, I did not feel just ordinary emotions.

It is definitely beautiful. It is a beautiful silver color.

The density of aurors was also unusual, which was indicative of the years of training Eve had accumulated.

What is certain is that the period in which Eve holds the sword to blossom into such an Auror will not be short.

It was a scene where I couldn’t help but feel embarrassed.

Beep!

While I was standing there, a sound announcing the start of the match rang out. I swung my sword sideways, sighing.

Chaeng!

“You can’t sit idle, junior.”

Eve, no different from usual, with a calm smile on her face, calmly swung her sword. She stabs straight, sometimes cutting diagonally, and when there is an opening, her sharp stab comes again.

Needless to say, it was a skillful swordsmanship.

Eve was used to this type of fighting style. So, a fight where swords clash with swords.

‘Why?’

…… It wasn’t the Eve I knew.

I know I can handle a sword, but the energy I felt familiar with before that wouldn’t be that of an Auror.

Pajik-!

Quarrr!

Increase the distance by striking a lightning bolt once. I looked at Eve again while holding the sword, and she seemed suspicious of my gaze, but-.

‘As expected, something is strange.’

It was something I had no choice about. The ‘Eve’ I know definitely used a sword, but her main focus was not swordsmanship or auror skills.

As I said once, Eve is a descendant of a vampire.

Her mother inherited the blood of a vampire, and Eve is the girl among her three children who has developed particularly strong vampire abilities.

Unlike the Crown Prince or Lucius, he is a descendant who can freely use the power of blood.

So to speak, it is something called atavism.

“It’s a gap.”

“…… !”

Chaeng!

For a moment, Eve’s consciousness drifted somewhere else, and Eve’s sword swung again. It was blocked, but not completely. My cheeks felt a little hot.

I think I just brushed against it…….

‘This is true.’

I couldn’t help but laugh to myself. Ivran uses auras rather than blood energy.

The feeling of disconnection was also a feeling of disconnection, and I was embarrassed because I couldn’t figure out how it had come to this.

First of all, since the match was in full swing, I couldn’t be more upset, but I couldn’t help but think deeply.

What is the cause?

The worries did not last long. Because I didn’t have any rough guesses.

‘It was probably around the second grade when Eve really appeared.’

It is mentioned often, and depending on the quarter, you can meet it a few times during the first year, but it is only after the playable character becomes a second year that he or she becomes directly involved in the story.

First of all, it meant not now.

If I remember correctly, Eve was definitely hot-headed when she was in her third year. She swung her sword with the blood and energy of an Auror, and sometimes she even threw away her sword to fight.

She, who manifested the power of a vampire, was a special character in a different way from those with this ability, and the episode related to her birth was nothing short of a symbol of Eve.

For example, incidents such as ‘blood drive’.

‘But now we deal with Aurors, la…’ ….’

Unless what I know is wrong or something has already changed, there is only one correct answer.

At least at this point, Eve is not actively dealing with her blood.

Was there a chance? Behind-the-scenes story, or memorial episode. Whatever it is, it’s something I don’t know about.

It would be a lie if I said I wasn’t interested.

At the same time that I felt like I wanted to find out a little more, I swung my sword in a large semicircle.

Kaang!

“!”

Eve’s eyes widened slightly.

I wonder if it was because it was the first time a counterattack had been properly launched, and he seemed quite surprised.

Actually, I just slightly increased the output of Thunderbolt…….

Anyway, this is my strength too.

There was no reason not to be confident.

Maybe.

Woah!

Then, he lowered his sword with a lot of brain energy.

It is very crude, but its power is certain.

Cow!

The sword strike, which was swung like a hammer, collided head-on with Eve’s sword, and as a result, Eve had to bend her knees halfway in an instant.

It cannot easily bear the weight that is added from top to bottom.

“Tsk.”

She let out a shallow sigh and what she chose was avoidance. A method of twisting the trajectory of my sword as it was received.

Gently rotating her body, she caught my side in an instant.

It was not difficult to predict the next attack.

Sweet love!

Standard stabbing.

It was not something worth belittling.

Besides the power, it is precise. Since this is a sparring and a match, if I get stabbed, it will be treated as my loss even if the wound is not serious.

Is it consideration for the junior that slightly disturbed the aura?

I thought that was probably the case. Because it’s Eve.

Tsu-

But.

That consideration itself is her mistake.

“…… Uh?”

Thunderstorm.

At first I spent 10%, then 20%. In other words, it means that it did not draw even half of its power, let alone its full power.

Of course, I ‘couldn’t’ pull it out accurately, but-.

The important thing right now is that 20% was enough to deal with Eve.

And with 30% of his power, he was convinced that it would be possible to completely overwhelm him.

This would not have been possible if Eve had used her blood power.

In other words.

Eve, who uses auras rather than blood, could have easily won if she went a little too far and increased her output.

Quarrr!!

Lightning falls.

The brain energy contained within the sword began to take on a spiral shape.

‘Let’s see if it doesn’t get used no matter what.’

Inducing the unconscious use of force by pushing to the end.

It was a bit extreme, but it was the surest way to scare the opponent.

The Eve I knew had no hesitation in using her blood, and in fact, her power was powerful. At least he was definitely the strongest among his classmates.

From noble mtl dot com

It was never rejected for its vampire power, so why is it like this now?

If you compare Grisha and Aria, they are clearly superior, but isn’t the 2nd grader the best in terms of name and color? That wasn’t enough.

This was something that could be seen more clearly when compared to Grisha when he was in second grade.

Kwagwagwagwang-!

A thundering noise that sounded like the howling of an animal erupted.

Spiral sword strike and lightning strike.

It was adjusted just right. ‘Eve, who uses Aura’, has a moderate level of power that cannot be blocked.

If you don’t really use your blood, it will stop midway.

Still, it will be enough to check.

──Fit.

The sword moved.

The sword moving in a straight line was very honest, and to put it bluntly, it was an attack that was easy to block.

It is not so soft that you can choose to avoid it.

There was only one choice given to Eve.

To block it on the spot.

Whoa!!

The sword advanced straight through the air, and the lightning contained in the blade was like a detonator. The moment you touch it incorrectly, it emits ominous sparks that feel like they will explode.

It has been a long time since the smile disappeared from Eve’s expression.

Beyond her embarrassment and astonishment, she quickly enters a state of deep tension.

I did not stop the sword.

It was just a curiosity.

She is the original Eve, who has just entered her third year and is just starting to show her passion.

And Eve uses her blood earlier than in the original story.

Of course, the possibility of growth is open to second graders as well. The problem is, there was no way to touch her until the episode where she started to really get involved with her upperclassman.

If you can use a trick, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to try it at least once.

My thoughts were like that.

“… ….”

In front of the sword that was charging towards her with a flash of white light, Eve’s expression became cold for the first time.

‘I came.’

Wow…… !

It only took a moment for her fingertips to turn blood red.

*****

[Winner, 2nd year Class B, Eve Romaneia El Pale!]

With the referee’s declaration, I wiped away my sweat with a tired expression. It’s a bonus to keep breathing heavily and touching your knees.

I held out my hand to Eve with a bitter smile.

“As expected, I can’t stand up to my senior. “Well done, I learned a lot!”

“… ….”

Eve looked down blankly at the hand I held out for a moment.

It seemed like there was a sense of desperation somehow.

“…… Yes.”

But Eve soon comes to her senses and regains her usual smile.

The moment she held my hand, a small cheer erupted from her audience.

It was quite a close game for a first-year student to play against a second-year student, especially a second-year top player. It wasn’t a strange thing.

I finished the brief handshake and bowed my head at the appropriate moment.

“Then let’s go down first, senior.”

Give a brief greeting, show courtesy towards your senior, and quickly step back. I immediately got off the stage and left the stadium.

“Phew.”

I stopped only after entering a slightly corner alley, leaning my back against the wall and sighing briefly.

A ray of cold sweat ran down my cheek.

The cause was simple.

‘That was the reason.’

This is because Eve realized the reason why she was dealing with Aurors instead of Blood Power at this point.

Also, the reason was quite simple.

It would be easier to understand if we said that it was a reaction that was obtained as a result of expressing the power of a vampire.

A problem that inevitably arises the moment the human body deals with the power of blood.

To put it simply, it is the urge to suck blood.

‘…… ‘Be scared.’

I remember the moment when the blade of her hand was filled with blood-red energy.

To be exact, the rather creepy look in his eyes at that moment.

‘Isn’t this something that happens very rarely?’

…… From what I know, Eve’s vampiric impulses had to be fairly controlled. At least that was definitely the case with third year Eve.

But I guess not now.

Just for a moment, in a moment of crisis, her vitality was brought out, enough to make her eyes flutter.

“Should I have quietly waited a year? ….”

I succeeded in defusing the situation by putting all my effort into my defeat, but I couldn’t help but feel a little sorry.

Isn’t it because he thrust his sword at me for no reason and made me reveal the desire I had been holding in so hard?

I wanted to at least apologize, but I couldn’t.

It seems like Eve is hiding her abilities right now.

“Hmm.”

Instead, I began to wonder what methods she used to suppress her impulses and desires a year later.

Even though it’s not perfect, isn’t it a success in controlling one’s instincts?

Of course there must have been a plausible reason, but what was it?

If you think about it, it’s closer to a unique ability, so I guess it’s just mental growth.

“Or maybe I received help from an item… ….”

I don’t know for sure, but it was fun to think about it. This is especially true because it feels like imagining Eve’s memorial episode.

‘…… ‘Is there anything I can do to help?’

Then, just in case, I was trying to think about whether there was a way I could help control her abilities.

“…… “I found the car.”

With the sound of ‘Tap!’, Someone appeared in the alley where I was hiding.

“Huh, huh, I’m your junior…” ….”

“…… Seniors?”

Needless to say, it was Eve. With her hands pressed against the wall, she continued to let out her breath as if she was having a hard time.

She didn’t even have time to ask why she came.

“…… Ha!”

She took a step forward and immediately grabbed the hem of my clothes roughly.

“Me, me and…” ….”

“… ….”

“Talk to me. Please, junior… ….”
