I Killed an Academy Player

These entities were one of the strongest demi-humans, that would be at least semi-Grade 1 as soon as they became an adult. audit Even though they weren’t as intelligent as humans, their innate physical capabilities and magic resistance were incredibly high and were difficult foes for both knights and mages.

While holding off against the bombardment of large-scale spells from the Unique Grade demi-human, Marie, the captain relied on tools to also somewhat fend off Hua Ran’s fists.

Giants.

Fifty giants. alien Each and every one of them was semi-Grade 1 or above, and the captain was a monster who was definitely of semi-Unique Grade.

– Slam!

The giant fell back after allowing a fist from Hua Ran to its jaws. alien After readjusting its jaws back into place, the giant let out an infuriated roar.

“Kuhuk…!”

“…”

While Hua Ran was gathering the eyes of the giants, Marie activated a grand spell to support her from the back. action Countless arrows appeared in the air, and they were so densely packed that it looked like each of the giants would have to tank a few dozen of arrows with their bodies.

It was rare for Hua Ran to see enemies that survived after receiving a direct hit from her. meadow She even wondered if she unconsciously held herself back or something.

“Kuum…!”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 106: Engagement Ceremony (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Die!”

The giants relied on their innate magic resistance, shields, and the corpses of their fallen comrades to block the downpour of arrows.

It was then. atom One of the giants threw a harpoon at Marie without caring about the arrows landing on its body.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 106: Engagement Ceremony (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Woof!”

The harpoon flew forward, leaving behind a terrifying aftershock in its trajectory.

– Kwang!

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 106: Engagement Ceremony (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Marie, Hua Ran, and Doggo still couldn’t break through the wall of giants.

“Huu… It’s not easy. echo One or two would have been alright but it’s my first time going against so many of them at once.”

Doggo jumped towards the flying harpoon. accent He crashed into the harpoon and flew it away.

It had already been 5 minutes since Korin had been dragged away by the oxen monster. adjust The consecutive deafening roars had died down but that made the girls even more worried than before.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 106: Engagement Ceremony (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

GOOOOOOO—!!!!

“Hua Ran. admire Doggo and I will create a path… You…”

That was when everyone in the area noticed the appearance of something foreign.

They were incredibly frustrated, and decided to break through even if it meant pushing themselves.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 106: Engagement Ceremony (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“…Hot.”

The overwhelming presence of that thing made everyone turn around.

An intense heat was threatening to melt their backs, and a dazzling light was breaking through the shadows of the Solar Eclipse.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 106: Engagement Ceremony (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

In the blink of an eye, the ground started to boil and evaporate, and the giants were appalled by seeing the light and heat of the great Sun.

Even the living jiangshi with an Unbreakable Vajra Body was affected by the heat while the vampire, who should have overcome her weakness to sunlight, instinctively flinched from that radiant light.

“Wahh…”

“This…”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 106: Engagement Ceremony (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Ughh… Ooohhhh…”

Like a god descending onto the ground, the knight walked with the Sun manifested behind his back, which entranced the giants, let alone the jiangshi and the vampire.

That was the pinnacle of untouchable greatness. abstract Walking out of the crumbling and half-demolished castle of giants was the Champion of the Sun.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 106: Engagement Ceremony (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

There was no mistaking it. auction That was the materialization of the myth and stories told down to the giants from times immemorial; and was the fundamental reason why they were locked up in the sky.

The captain of the giants fell on its knees.

That was the proof of the magnificent Divinity belonging to the god, Airgetlam; the light which had been shining upon Paradise a long time ago.

“B, boss!”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 106: Engagement Ceremony (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Despite the humiliation and their hatred, they couldn’t help but bow before the Sun. august Feeling the humiliating memory rising up inside its blood, the boss of the giants obeyed just like its forefathers.

The scene of the omnipotent being cleansing the world of its former wickedness was deeply engraved into their blood.

“That… is the divinity of the Sun. orbit We cannot fight against it.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 106: Engagement Ceremony (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Following that, the rest of the giants kneeled at the same time. arrow They trembled in fear, watching the Sun approaching them.

“Korin!”

After putting the Sun in front of the giants to intimidate them, Korin leisurely walked towards the girls while locking his hands behind his back.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 106: Engagement Ceremony (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“…You.”

“Why are you in tatters again!? portal Every! autumn Single time!”

Marie dashed forward and gave him a hug, but Hua Ran didn’t tell him she was worried because she was too embarrassed to say that.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 106: Engagement Ceremony (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Un… But what happened to you, Korin? alpha And what is that thing that looks like the Sun?”

“It’s a long story. adapt Let’s… go down first.”

“Are you guys alright?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 106: Engagement Ceremony (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“What about the giants?”

They were done with everything they had to do on the floating island. ability All that was left was to go back.

“Okay okay…!”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 106: Engagement Ceremony (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

It was then. ability As soon as he said that, the Sun that had been threatening the giants got extinguished.

“They won’t be able to attack us as long as the Sun is here. auction It’s linked to their racial trauma.”

“…”

– Pajijik!

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 106: Engagement Ceremony (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Huu…”

“…”

“Korin? alien Umm…”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 106: Engagement Ceremony (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Aiya~. accent That was a lot earlier than I thought.”

In the last iteration, there was a time when Korin had acquired the power of the Sun after overcoming it in a battle, and the same thing had happened back then.

“…Should we kill him?”

This item was limited to boss fights. antenna It was like a finisher attack that couldn’t be activated for long even with the ridiculous mana regeneration ability giving him a lot more mana than a normal player.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 106: Engagement Ceremony (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Now’s the chance. galaxy We have to kill him now.”

“K, Korin?”

As expected, the giants started a frightening discussion as soon as the Sun disappeared.

“Yeah. arcade Let’s go.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 106: Engagement Ceremony (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Hopefully we’ll be able to make it.’

“Run!”

They were quick at coming to a decision. wizard Korin and the rest of his group immediately started sprinting to the oak tree that Dumnorix and Dun Scaith had used to climb up! autumn They had to get down first and cut down the oak trees.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 106: Engagement Ceremony (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Hoho. arena Looks like this old man was a bit late to the party.”

Unless they were to jump down the oak tree, there was no guarantee that they would be able to run faster than the giants. acid Hua Ran and Marie might be able to outrun the giants, but there were two injured people on their side and Korin wasn’t well off either.

————?

It was when they were desperately running to the tree.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 106: Engagement Ceremony (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

His unkempt hair was extremely messy, and his martial uniform was so rugged that he appeared like a savage man living in the wild.

Their eyes turned towards one person.

Everyone halted their feet. antenna For some reason, the group of giants, which weighed more than a thousand tonnes in total, couldn’t move their feet.

The strange old swordsman was carrying a massive sword that was much longer than his own height in his hand. armor The Twin Dragon Blades, that he had retrieved before anyone realized, was hanging on his waist along with two other demonic swords.

Sword Emperor, Garrand Arden.

“It was not easy climbing a tree with this old body of mine.”

“…Don’t you think you are a bit too late, sir?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 106: Engagement Ceremony (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

He hadn’t witnessed the life-and-death fight between Alicia and the Sword Fiend, but just from hearing the echoes of the fight, he knew what kind of battle the two had gone through.

“It had quite a nice echo, the fight between my granddaughter and the Sword Fiend.”

The previous head of the Arden Family; the one sitting at the pinnacle of the generation.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 106: Engagement Ceremony (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Korin accepted his help without any hesitation and started climbing down the oak tree.

“Sure. absorb Good luck.”

“Go, young man. apron I shall protect my granddaughter and will protect you as well while I am it.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 106: Engagement Ceremony (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

That was why they slowly approached the one in front of them, despite the alarm bells of their instincts. aspect The only future they could imagine was defeat but the slim chance that they might be able to come out on top pushed their feet further toward their aspiration for freedom.

After a discussion, the giants came to a decision. airport Whoever it was that was trying to stop them didn’t matter. academy They had finally been freed from the restrictions of the Sun and were eager to advance into the wider world beneath.

The giants couldn’t do anything but blankly stand there watching them leave. absorb They instinctively realized that the old monster in front of them wouldn’t let them go past him.

“A shame that I missed that fabulous sight. adapt But I guess witnessing a world higher than Mt. arctic Tai is worth the trouble.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 106: Engagement Ceremony (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Guhaha. shadow Guhahahaha…!”

He let out a hearty laughter which made the giants flinch. aspect His laugh soon turned into an explosive laughter of utmost joy.

The old man didn’t move, nor did the 5-meter-long greatsword he was holding with one of his hands. meadow As if the giants in front of him weren’t even there, Garrand remained there looking at the traces of the fight between the two swordsmen.

“So. atomic Although the Sword Fiend was still a bit inexperienced… she killed him, huh.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 106: Engagement Ceremony (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

His remarks were followed by a childish laughter that didn’t suit his age. atomic None of the ones present could guess the types of emotions embedded in his rejoice.

“I have surely slayed more than a hundred thousand beasts! orbit Protected lands going far beyond the horizon! wizard Saved millions of humans!

“Through all those battles, I had never ever seen anyone use the Heavenly Sword and yet here I am, seeing two of them in one day!

“Right. academy So my granddaughter was the one who survived, huh. orbit Very good. absorb Very good indeed…! apple Finally, a swordsman who can stand with me shoulder-to-shoulder has been born from my bloodline. arch How can this not be a pleasant surprise!”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 106: Engagement Ceremony (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

The mountain-crushing greatsword slashed through the air. adopt It destroyed the ground and left a wound on the clouds.

“I see. matrix If you so desire to die to my sword… I will not stop you. august Try your best though. amateur I hope you can last half an hour.”

The Sword Emperor’s arrogant declaration was met with a strong retaliation from the giants.

“Go away you peasants. riddle The path behind me is the staircase of the young ones heading to the future. galaxy How dare you filthy demons try to trespass with your dirty feet?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 106: Engagement Ceremony (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

With that came the end of the story of the floating island.

“Senior. meadow Cut the tree down please.”

“N, nn? sphere Korin… Isn’t there someone still up there?”

The desperate struggles of the unrelenting residents would soon breathe its last and the old man would leisurely climb down the tree…

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 106: Engagement Ceremony (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

– Kugugugugung! athlete Kwang!

“Umm… If you say so.”

“It’s fine. auction It’s fine. adjust He’s totally useless and beyond help. beacon Let him stay up there for about a year.”

Moonlight shone gently through the leaves as Alicia slowly opened her eyes.

****

Unfortunately, not everything in the world had an elegant ending that some people might hope for.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 106: Engagement Ceremony (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

After coming to herself, she started wandering through the village of druids, looking for her older sister from a different mother who had blocked the blades of the Sword Fiend with her body to save her.

“Sister…”

“Ughh…”

Her entire body was in pain as if all of her bones had been crushed. auction The fact that she was alive like this… probably meant that she had returned alive from the floating island.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 106: Engagement Ceremony (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

That was when she came across someone else.

On top of a large and ancient tree in the middle of the city of trees, a boy was gazing down at the world with a wide smile on his face.

“Ah…”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 106: Engagement Ceremony (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

She started climbing the tree to get to the boy, who casually asked a question after noticing her presence.

“No. attic Not really.”

“Are you feeling alright?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 106: Engagement Ceremony (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Alicia had been looking only at the Sword Fiend and missed Korin’s fight despite it happening right in front of her, but could still assume that Korin must have had a hard fight as well.

“Same here.”

“We did great. meadow Ugh…”

“Looks like we both did okay,” said Alicia.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 106: Engagement Ceremony (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Y, you’re heavy.”

She tried to support Korin, who was falling to the side, but ended up being pushed back by his weight. arctic She was still standing on her feet, but was barely holding on.

“Aht. zenith Are you oka… Uahkk!”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 106: Engagement Ceremony (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

On top of the moonlit tree, the boy and the girl supported each other to finally return to their original positions.

“Haa… that’s good.”

“I’m dead tired…”

“Miss Lunia should be healed back up very soon. anchor She’s a strong person and she also had an elixir so she should be okay.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 106: Engagement Ceremony (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Everything’s fine.”

“What about you?” he asked.

How big was the burden on his wide shoulders? amateur All of his enemies were wicked and evil, and the weight weighing down on the shoulders of the boy her age appeared to be ridiculously heavy.

With this, Alicia realized firsthand just how dangerous and scary a life-and-death battle was. athlete Seeing the unperturbed Korin, she wondered how many of these battles he must have gone through.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 106: Engagement Ceremony (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Alicia nervously explained everything she went through.

“Umm…”

She talked about how she felt joy at the fight against the Sword Fiend, as well as how she swallowed the monster as a sacrifice. artist She also talked about the strange experience of crossing the Domain inside the Domain.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 106: Engagement Ceremony (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Alicia was a civilized human. acquire She knew that cutting people was wrong. amateur She also knew that smiling while cutting people was even more wrong.

“Must have been rough.”

“…I’m scared of me as a person.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 106: Engagement Ceremony (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Hearing her grumble about her wish to be normal, Korin scratched his cheek and opened his mouth with a nonchalant voice, as if her concerns were unwarranted.

But the fight against the Sword Fiend ended up releasing the beast lying dormant inside her. aluminum She was made to face her true nature and her instincts.

“I wanted to be normal though…”

After noticing her ‘true nature’, she had been busy trying to suppress and turn away from it.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 106: Engagement Ceremony (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Have a look at Senior Marie and Hua Ran. acoustic There are plenty of people that say they are dangerous, but what have they done wrong?”

“But…”

“There are a bunch of strange people in the world. crystal What is important is the choice you make.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 106: Engagement Ceremony (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“And what’s wrong with that?”

“But… it’s true that I get bewitched by the sword, and the act of cutting people.”

“Sorry?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 106: Engagement Ceremony (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“If you really can’t handle it, you have me by your side. harbor I can listen to you if you have concerns, and if you can’t fall asleep, we can have a little chat until you do. antenna And if you’re feeling down, we can go grab some meat.”

While aligning his hand with hers, Korin gave her a smile.

“Your mind and your conviction are much more important. orbit You need to have more pride in the power you have.”

“Haha…”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 106: Engagement Ceremony (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“You looked like it.”

Despite the playfulness of his tone of voice, the firm grip of his large hands was so reassuring to the girl that it was even hard to believe.

“Actually, when I first came to the Academy, I was planning on enjoying my campus life.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 106: Engagement Ceremony (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Nn… I wanted to pull an all-nighter playing around, take a nap during lessons, spend time on the roof for no reason, think about whether I should have tonkatsu or udon… Or you know, go to the city on the weekends, buy snacks, watch the recent shows, go shopping, have desserts at a nice cafe and go on a walk. beacon All those normal things.”

“I’m sorry.”

“But I have no time for that when I’m going around with you, Mr. arena Korin.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 106: Engagement Ceremony (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Hehe… That sounds good.”

“I can do that with you.”

Korin wasn’t sure why she was so happy, but she leaned her head on his shoulder with a bright smile on her face.

“It’ll be… very fun if we do that together.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 106: Engagement Ceremony (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“It’s a promise okay? armor I’m… a strange person, so you need to look after me. apron You never know what will happen…”

“You’ll handle it well. riddle I know it.”

“Alright… I trust you.”

“Hmph… You’re all talk every time.”

Realizing that the boy’s shoulders were very hard and wide, Alicia felt good, because it felt like she had gotten herself a very reliable ally.

………

……

While hoping… that he wouldn’t pick up her heartbeat that was going on a rampage for some reason, she continued watching the stars with him over the night.

‘It’s going to be… the engagement ceremony of Sister and Mr. adapt Korin soon.’

“Aht. sphere Ahh…”

An earthquake was bound to be followed with an aftermath, and the great turmoil of the winter holiday was still just around the corner.

The scenes that she had seen during her illusion soared back up in piles.

Although the great turmoil of Findias was over, not everything was over just yet.
