Vampire Prince Trapped Into a Hunter
Chapter 48 – FIRST YEAR COMPETITION. 1
After a long time I had a day off at home because of the injuries I suffered after the sub-guild hunter attack my own family, now I can finally breathe the air of freedom back in the academy.
The first thing I did after coming back was to see Professor Fritz.
I could not believe that His development in investigating the organization of darkness had been so significant.
He did not know anything about their names or identities, but he managed to find a track record of their activities.
“What is this to believe, Professor?”
“Entahlah. Therefore I thought I would investigate it directly with you. But..”
Professor Fritz looked at me uneasily as if there was something he wanted to say, but was feeling eerily.
“Already, just say, what is it, Professor?”
After a moment of hesitation, Professor Fritz said,
“I've already submitted your name as a maid assistant in a disguised mission to investigate the dark organization. In fact, the Head of the Academy was completely against it.”
“Grandmother Litana Magus did it? Did the Professor explain the details of the organization of darkness to him?”
To my question, Professor Fritz immediately shook his head.
“No. Until now, it would be difficult to trust an outsider. We will never know what kind of person will be a member of that dark organization. And it was inseparable for the Head of the Academy.”
I can understand where Professor Fritz's attitude comes from.
It is only natural that he would suspect anyone of the fact that no one would have guessed that a previous teacher at SMUT who looked kind and simple on the outside like Professor Luvien was one of the members of the organization those.
“Lantas why Grandma Litana up against it?”
“Instead of opposing it, when I submitted this mission, apparently there was a request for assistance in line coming from the Lephirum guild and it seems that they were more likely to propose the name Alvin Hermes for the mission. The Head of the Academy can't do much since you lost to Alvin Hermes in a duel recently.”
Based on Professor Fritz's report, it seems that the dark organization is eyeing one of the contents of a dungeon of plants that recently appeared on Batam Island.
It was a special type of dungeon, but due to the resources in the form of rare herbal medicines that were plentiful in that place, The Lephirum Guild as the guild assigned to charge against the dungeon chose to delay its closure by extending the deadline for finding the secret boss hidden somewhere within the dungeon.
The Lephirum Guild currently chose to optimize the retrieval of resources from within the dungeon.
That was why they needed someone who could manage the resources management part of the dungeon well by cooperating with the academy students who had a wider knowledge of dungeonization.
It is only natural that since their time, the education about dungeons has not matured now about as you know, the emergence of dungeons in the outside world has only happened lately, he said, exactly 3 years ago where I acquired my familiar, Anto.
Alvin Hermes must have been chosen from the names that exist when they decided to use the help of the academy about the background of Alvin Hermes who came from the merchant family so that such work has been common to him.
“Alright, I will try to communicate this to the Head of Academy.”
“I leave it to you, Arnoria student. I expect good results from you.”
“Of course, Professor.”
That's how I got out of Professor Firtz's room to head to the academy.
“Ah, Brother Arno? What did you do here?”
In the room of the head of the academy, I met with Arcia.
“There are a few things I want to talk about with Grandma Litana.”
“Arcia darling, can you make us tea while bringing us cookies that come from the L store?”
Shop L was still in the academy's territory so it was still a safe place, but Shop L should have a short distance away from this place.
Grandma Litana seemed to be quite quick to respond to my purpose of coming to her place.
That's why once I met him now, he quickly removed Arcia from us.
Professor Fritz didn't know it, but more than anyone else, Grandma Litana was in this academy that had the widest information network.
Granny Litana had known about the existence of the dark organization and was doing everything she could to prevent me from interacting with them.
He was the first to introduce me to their name, Six.
Although only six members, the organization was able to shake the stability of the world.
“So, if I ask, will Grandma agree to my request to follow the expedition that the Lephirum guild will be carrying out in the dungeon?”
The grandmother answered wisely,
“Arnoria, what you're aiming for is too dangerous. How could I have thought of you as my own grandson would have sent you to a place that was obviously very dangerous.”
“Lantas how about Alvin? If the place is dangerous, won't there also be problems with sending other students?”
I want to be unwilling to question the favoritism of Grandma Litana.
“At least Alvin will only act as a quiet porter on the mission and will not be in touch with the organization because Alvin does not know their problems.”
“The aim of the organization this time was obviously just to hunt for rare materials so they were also unlikely to take any action that would provoke public attention so Alvin would be safe as long as it did not disturb them there.”
“But you're different, Arno. I'm sure you'll act haphazardly as soon as you realize their whereabouts there.”
I could feel the overflowing anger inside my chest when Grandma Litana said that to me.
“On what basis can Grandma Litana be sure that Alvin will be safe there?!”
“I also learned from Professor Luvien damn it without knowing that one day he will kill all 21 of my classmates.”
“They are a very cruel organization!”
“We'll never know what they'll do to the other hunters out there, and you said Alvin was safe, huh?!”
I suddenly felt out of my anger.
How I regretted unknowingly yelling at my grandmother.
Although actually my age must be very much older than him, but 3 years more I live as a human, must have been imprinted in my mind during adolescence.
“I'm sorry, Grandma. I didn't mean to yell at Grandma. But instead of Grandma sending Alvin Hermes into danger, let me take his place.”
After a long silence, the grandmother replied,
“I have also thought about it well.”
“Makanya Grandma is looking for the right reason to cancel the departure of Alvin Hermes there, a reason that will not damage the bilateral relationship between the academy and the guild hunter organization.
“From the beginning Grandma did not plan to send anyone.”
An honest answer that really comes from the bottom of the heart of a leader who has long patronized this academy and has regarded us all, its students, as its own grandchildren.
I knew Grandma Litana was worried about me too, but I didn't want to give up on the dark organization anyway.
“I swear I won't do anything sloppy, Grandma. Professor Fritz will also come with me there, just in case any unexpected variables occur.”
“So this is all about Professor Fritz apparently.”
“Please don't blame Him, Nek.”
“In addition if I agree to it, Lephirum's party will not necessarily also agree to it, especially with the information of your defeat that has been widely circulated against Alvin Hermes among the guild leaders hunter.”
“Is it that bad that gossip spreads?”
“Do not underestimate the guild information network, especially information about one of the prospective heirs of a famous hunter guild like the Rosechild family.”
“So I just have to show that I'm superior to Alvin Hermes right, Nek?”
“For now, let's do it like that first.”
While saying this, Grandma Litana showed me a pamphlet.
“About 3 weeks away at the festival of the celebration of the independence of the Unitary Republic of Indonesia, there will be a competition between students. Take part in the new student competition, I heard Alvin Hermes will also participate in the competition. In that event, you can prove who among you is superior.”
Of course I decided to take part in the competition.
