Esper Harem in the Apocalypse

Chapter 234 Vampire Academy

”That massive building is the vampire academy. Letʼs race and see who can fly better,” Jane suggested in a solemn voice.

”Princess, are you perhaps angry?” Rudy asked with a judging look on his face.

”No, I am not! Hmph!” She averted her face to the side and said, ”I will show you how fast I am.”

ʼWell, maybe I will let her win to calm her down,ʼ Rudy thought.

”Sure. Letʼs go.”

Jane turned to Rudy and said, ”Donʼt you dare let me win. Try your best, and I will try my best too.”

”Itʼs not like you would ever know if I am trying my best or not,” Rudy responded with a short scoff and a shoulder shrug.

”Oh, I will know. I know what you are capable of and how fast you can fly,” Jane stated. ”If I catch you going easy on me, I will ban Mister Dick from visiting me.”

”Now, thatʼs something I canʼt allow.” Rudy cracked his fingers and said, ”Prepare to lose. Wait… what do I get if I win?”

He asked curiously.

”Mister Dick gets a free pass to visit me anytime, all the time…”

”I donʼt think Dick needs a pass for that. But the rewards sound fine. Now I am motivated to win. But before we start, mind telling me what do you want as a reward?”

”Hmm~” Jane hummed in wonder and uttered, ”Maybe… marry me?”

”I was going to do that anyway.”

However, neither of them knew that they were already husband and wife.

Jane and Rudy hovered in the air at an equal distance from their goal, which was five miles away.

Rudy glanced at Jane from the corner of his eye and asked, ”Ready?”

Jane nodded and said, ”On the count of three.”

”One!” - Rudy.

”Two!” - Jane.

”Three!” - Rudy and Jane.

They both flew as fast as they could.

Jane was flapping her wings, and the sound of that was quite loud compared to what Rudy had expected. As for Rudy, he did not need to do a thing.

Jane was keeping up with Rudy and even overtook him a couple of times, but Rudy managed to stay in the lead. However, a sudden thought crossed his mind when he was halfway through.

ʼIf I win, then Dick wins. If I lose, I get married. Both have such tempting rewards! I donʼt know what to do!ʼ

Rudy didnʼt care about winning or losing but wanted the rewards. However, Jane had threatened him to try his best. Otherwise, she would ban sex.

ʼWhat if I do something that wonʼt get me in trouble, and even Jane would be okay with it.ʼ

Rudy quickly thought of a plan and slowed down. As expected, Jane flew past him, but she glared at him as if she was angry.

Rudy picked up the pace again and slammed into Jane, or he would have if he hadnʼt carried her in his arms.

”...!” Jane tried to break free from Rudyʼs grip, but he had no plan to let her go. ”What are you doing?!”

”I am flying.”

”This is against the rules!”

”Oh? I donʼt think there was such a rule. And even if there was, I am sure I am not breaking it.”

”You clearly are! Now let me go and take this race seriously!”

”No, no. You seem to have a misunderstanding, princess. I was flying, and you suddenly came in front of me. So I had no other choice but to carry you,” he said with an innocent look on his face.

”Thatʼs a lie!”

”Come on. Stop acting like a brat, princess. Donʼt you want to make your Mister Dick happy? And if you make Mister Dick happy, it will visit you and maybe even have a stayover at your place.”

There was only one way to not break the rules and get both rewards, and that was to reach the finish line at the same time. Had Rudy continued flying at his top speed, he would have easily won, and there would be no meaning in the race since Jane challenged him to show how fast a vampire could fly.

A few seconds later, Rudy landed in front of the academy gate and said, ”I guess itʼs a draw.”

Jane angrily got off Rudyʼs arms and glared at him before saying, ”You planned this, didnʼt you?”

”Who knows?” Rudy shrugged.

SIGH!

”I donʼt know what—”

Di Di Di PiPiPiPi Pi~!

A weird siren rang across the academy that forced Janeʼs attention towards it.

”What was that?” Rudy asked with a curious and annoyed look on his face.

”Itʼs the bell.”

”Uhh… like the school bell that rings after the lecture ends?”

”Yes.”

”Why the fuck was it so annoying then?”

”To annoy the students and get them to focus on their studies.”

Jane and Rudy passed through the gates and entered the academy.

”This place is prominent… ”

Rudy sighted a few students walking on the campus, but they werenʼt wearing uniforms.

”Do you guys have a uniform?” Rudy asked curiously,

”Yeah, we do. And most of the classes here are the same as the human world with the addition of magic and other special classes,” she responded calmly while showing the way to Rudy.

”No wonder Rias was smart even though she looked to be the type of girl who would never study…” Rudy muttered under his breath.

”So why isnʼt anyone wearing uniforms? And Is it just me, Or is the number of students here awfully small?”

”Itʼs the red lunar week, or should I say Blood-Moon week, so there are no classes for a week. The students you see here today are just here to fool around or study as they have exams coming up soon.”

”Hmm? They? ” Rudy raised his brows and asked, ”You donʼt go to school?”

”I already finished the school and graduated with top scores, followed by Rias,” Jane uttered with a proud face.

”I see. I guess that makes sense… no, wait…” Rudy turned to Jane and asked, ”Forgive me for asking this, but…. How old exactly are you and Rias?”

===

Guess the age. Itʼs already hinted a couple of times.
