Chapter 147: Iona's Observation Diary (2)

Chapter 147: Iona's Observation Diary (2)

Even today, after being thoroughly beaten in sparring, I followed Iona closely, observing her every move as she announced the end of the lesson.

Was she about a handspan shorter than me? Though she was tall for a woman, the fact that she was still shorter than me remained unchanged.

However, her limbs were long for her height. Id have to assume her reach was slightly longer than it appeared.

Knowing I couldnt beat her in close combat, maintaining the right distance had become crucial.

Hey, there. Student Yandel? Class is over; why do you keep following me?

Im escorting my respected professor.

You didnt hit me today

Iona sighed deeply.

Suddenly, her swollen chest caught my eye.

The more I looked, the more incredible it seemed. How could she hide something that big?

Curiosity about Ionas neck below momentarily distracted me.

???

I felt something was off.

Maybe it was because Id been undressing women more frequently these days. I had developed a useless ability to estimate, even through clothes.

Thanks to my exceptional memory, a trait of my race

Anyhow, upon closer inspection, Ionas body was fascinating in many ways.

Her chest was large but not as big as Fayes. Her hips and thighs werent comparable to Elishas.

Her waist? Carlas waist was much slimmer and beautifully curved.

But Iona had a good balance of all these aspects.

Not just good but so harmonious that they created synergy.

Was this the maximization of femininity?

The notion that vampires bodies were sculpted to tempt the opposite sex finally made sense to me.

As I nodded in admiration, Iona, unable to bear it, stopped in her tracks and pretended to be angry.

Student Yandel! Have you been looking at inappropriate places? No matter how pretty and charming this Professor Iona may be, this is not right!

Unable to honestly admit that I had been looking at her chest, I decided to beat around the bush.

What are you talking about, Professor? I was merely admiring your movements.

Uh?

You walk as if youre half-jumping, exaggeratedly, but your weight balance doesnt sway, fixed slightly below the center. I suppose any posture feels the same to you.

That is true?

Im a magician who likes to use my body in combat, so I couldnt take my eyes off the Professor.

Hehe No matter how much you flatter me, nothing will come out! Really!

Iona briefly rejoiced, then chuckled and shook her head.

But, but. Being able to perfectly control your body and cast magic in any situation is the same for student Yandel, isnt it?

Uh, well

Thanks to system correction, I could do similar things as Iona.

Whether its innate or acquired through training, I wont ask! Its important that you can do it, even if its a bit clumsily!

You dont need to follow me If you have something to say, just say it now! Listening to a students worries is also a professors job!

I wanted to hit her at least once But I couldnt say that.



Third break.

Sadly, nothing happened.

If anything, it was that Iona never once entered her research lab, which was fortunate for me since following her there would be difficult.

Lunchtime.

The academys cafeteria was basically free. Though you could pay extra for more expensive and tastier options..

The quality of the basic meal provided was quite high, and it even came with unlimited refills.

Thus, except for a very few, everyone loved the cafeteria but Iona seemed to be among the minority.

In the central square, overflowing with students enjoying their youth with lunches they brought or skipping meals, Iona was sucking on a blood pack in a corner.

Well, being a vampire meant living on blood.

However, she had mentioned that it had been a long time since she directly fed on human blood or even fed at all.

It was probably the blood of some suitable livestock.

Ionas expression while eating looked as bitter as if she were drinking vegetable juice.

I also found a spot at a reasonable distance, pretended I had prepared in advance, and shared emergency rations from my inventory with Carla and Elisha.

Though called emergency rations, the food was warm and delicious, as if freshly cooked.

A typical spatial pocket merely expanded space, so time flowed normally within it.

However, the inventory stopped time, so food placed a month ago retained its original state.

Despite observing Iona while pretending to enjoy an outdoor meal, nothing changed.

Iona still had a bitter expression, swallowing down to the last drop.

She seemed unsatisfied with the blood she was consuming now.

This could be useful.

Of course, merely bleeding wouldnt shake her.

If that were the case, she would have been driven mad by bloodlust in every battle but Iona was beyond that level.

But what if my blood directly entered her mouth?

No. Because of the Blood Shift magic, even if I get injured, there wont be any blood to spill.

Then, Id have to prepare by drawing some blood in advance.

What if I splashed it on her face during a duel? If even a drop touched her lips?

Even Iona would have to momentarily hesitate.

I finished my meal, noting in my mind to draw blood before bedtime.

Last break.

I realized something astonishing.

Iona had never gone to the bathroom!

Was it because she only consumed one blood pack? Or do vampires simply not need to go?

Fascinating.

But it seemed hard to use this during a duel.

After class.

The time had finally come.

Pretending to head to the dormitory, I sent Carla and Elisha ahead and donned an invisible robe.

With no students around after class, she might let her guard down a bit more.

Hoping she would reveal more vulnerabilities, I slowly followed behind Iona.
