I Killed an Academy Player

Elder Morushtan, the leader of the Black Cult, which was one of the 9 factions of the Tower of Mages, asked once again about the whereabouts of his disciple who hadn’t returned for the last 2 days.

“Where is Manroji…?”

“Apologies, Elder Morushtan… We have yet to find… Brother Manroji.”

It was hard to believe that something would have happened to him in one of the backstreet gambling dens so… logically, it was safe to assume that he was simply indulging in the pleasure of entertainment.

Manroji was one of the disciples of Morushtan. antique He was from the 4th floor out of 8 floors, which implied that he was a relatively skilled disciple.

“I, I believe… he must be wandering around several gambling dens. arch It’s common for him to get drunk in gambling dens and spend several days and nights there.”

“…”

The rumored lord of the Tower of Mages, Lord Adelene.

Since Adelene had the ability to change their face as they wanted, it was possible that he or she had switched into one of the original members of the Tower to join the group.

However, there was another possibility in mind.

It could be that… Manroji was in fact Adelene the Golden Mage.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 124: Mages of the Tower (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Even this plan to acquire the vampire was based on the command given to Adelene by Ard Ri, and even though Elder Morushtan and Elder Admelech had roughly heard about the ‘Vampire Lord’ plan, they hadn’t heard anything about the specific details of the strategy.

Adelene was someone who received orders directly from the Divinity of Light and Ard Ri[mfn]TLN: Ard Ri – High King of Ireland[/mfn] of Usurpation, Tates Valtazar.

If his disciple Manroji was in fact the disguised version of Adelene, it could be that Adelene was on the move already.

It wasn’t the time to move just yet. abstract The plan this time around was an enormous one.

“Understood, Elder Morushtan.”

“Send Rellin. echo Find out where Manroji is.”

He still deemed it necessary to look into it, so Morushtan gave orders to his disciples before focusing back on the materials of the Great Library.

“Wow. shadow Ren. arch This place is hugee.”

“Stop creating a fuss. alert I told you you have to be quiet in the library.”

The acquisition of the vampire, Marie Dunareff… and the assassination of Chairman Eriu Casarr.

A plan this big was taxing even for the Tower of Mages, so they had to aim for the best opportunity possible.

“Hing… You’re always so mean to me.”

“…Beastmen.”

That was when Morushtan the black mage caught sight of freshmen siblings who had entered the library to prepare for their assessment.

“Look into those brats over there.”

They were the ones that the princess being sponsored by the Tower detested the most. album And besides… they were incredibly tenacious so they were the best demi-humans for experiments.

“Yes, Elder Morushtan.”

“You.”

In the training room, I was training with Alicia.

“Senior. apple I’m a new student, called Rose.”

Morushtan gazed deeply at the siblings with a spooky pair of eyes. legend His greedy eyes stayed on the siblings for a very long time.

“Yo. aluminum Miss Rose. aspect What’s up?”

“Actually, there was a problem while I was creating the blueprint of my weapon…”

“Mr. sphere Korin? acoustic What’s wrong?”

During the previous prac lesson at the Hunting Grounds, I gave out magic stones to the 400 new students with each of them being medium-high-grade magic stones above Grade 3. autumn I told them to use those to create their weapons and had also told them to come looking for me whenever a problem popped up during the process.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 124: Mages of the Tower (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Nothing. antenna One of our juniors came looking for me. zenith Rest up for now.”

Alicia, who was drenched in sweat, used the towel next to her to wipe her face and started chugging her bottle of water.

“Okayy~”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 124: Mages of the Tower (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Huh? arctic Nah. atlas Don’t worry about it. arch What’s the problem?”

“Did I… interrupt you guys?”

“So the thing is, the magic circuit connecting this blade to this place here…”

“That should be enough. silence Instead of Ferghus… go to old man Hollgrehenn. arctic That bloke’s better at making greatswords.”

“Aht. adapt Thank you so much!”

I was a veteran gamer who had crafted thousands if not tens of thousands of weapons in ❰Heroic Legends of Arhan❱. atomic I knew by heart which materials had to be used and how they had to be combined to create the best and most efficient result.

Using what I knew, I wholeheartedly gave advice to my junior, and although she didn’t understand everything I said, she diligently took note and absorbed everything I told her.

“That was the third person today. academy Does it not bother you?”

“Okay! accent Thank you very much, senior!”

“Show it to me when it’s done. antique I want to have a look at it too.”

Rose walked away after that. afford With her eyes on her, Alicia asked while tidying up her loosened hair.

“What’s up?”

“Hmm…”

“If a few pieces of advice increase those young and innocent juniors’ chance of survival, I can do it all day.”

“Nothing. airport It just feels like I’m suffering a loss.”

“…Yes. adjust That. arcade Well, let’s just say that.”

“Is it because we have to stop our training every time? atom I’m sorry. arena I already told them I’m usually at the training rooms during this time of the day.”

What did she mean by that?

Love and War was one of the courses I applied for for my cultural studies course for the 1st Semester. abandon It was a 2-hour course worth 2 Units of Work that was related to theatrical plays, so I thought it would be an easy course that was just about watching plays and writing reports but…

“Haah~ that one huh.”

“Oh right, Mr. abstract Korin. voyage You know the culture course, 『Love and War』. action Are you done with the assignment next week?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 124: Mages of the Tower (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Since you mentioned it, how about we stop training here for today and work on the assignment at a cafe?”

“Seriously, there are too many things they want us to do. wizard We have to watch the play, write reports, discuss… and for the last assessment, we even have to act out the play in a group right?”

“S, shall we? amber I can buy the coffee!”

“I, isn’t it good? shadow There are a lot of new things I’m experiencing and a lot of things to think about…”

The campus cafes had desserts and pastries that were baked every day for the students, and were always bustling with people that wanted to study there.

We headed straight to one of the cafes nearby.

Back when I was going to a university in Korea, I couldn’t understand why people would ever want to study at cafes because I only went to the gym, but after reaching my 6th year at the Academy, I finally realized why.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 124: Mages of the Tower (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“In the end, this is just cheating propaganda in the disguise of a fateful romance theme.”

Of course, it depended on the person but at least it worked for me.

On the other hand, cafes and study rooms had less interruptions. atlas The chairs weren’t comfortable, but that was all the more the reason why it was easier to focus on studying.

There were just too many distractions at home. advance Doing this and that, watching TV and going on the computer… There was also the so-called waste-of-life, SNS, which proved how true the statement was when you lie on the bed scrolling down the feed.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 124: Mages of the Tower (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“It’s unfortunate, I agree. meadow And even though the husband was by no means a good person, that doesn’t justify cheating.”

“But the female lead was from an unlucky family, and her husband was also very cruel to her.”

“Ugh… that’s true but…”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 124: Mages of the Tower (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“The story itself was quite romantic, and the plot made sense but in the end, it’s just a nice way to package something that’s morally wrong.”

“W, what if it’s you!? matrix Do you think you wouldn’t have done the same, Mr. abstract Korin?!”

I talked about the fundamental issues but Alicia showed an emotional response. august It seemed that that play about cheating had left a big impression on her.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 124: Mages of the Tower (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Huh? acquire Wait, why are you bringing me up?”

“Why are you bringing Miss Lunia into the discussion now?”

“Y, you need to put yourself in the shoes of the main characters. adapt R, right. silence Let’s say you and my sister are married couples.”

“You almost got engaged to her!”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 124: Mages of the Tower (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“I told you beforehand that it was a fake one.”

With a serious look in her eyes, Alicia put a piece of bread and coffee on either side, and labeled them each as me and Lunia.

“Anyway, it’s just a what-if!”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 124: Mages of the Tower (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“…Are you going to?”

“B, brother-in-law?”

“Let’s say Sister and brother-in-law are in, you know? absorb A, umm… in a state of ennui[mfn]a feeling of listlessness and dissatisfaction arising from a lack of occupation or excitement[/mfn]? aluminum Something like that.”

“What if I seduce you in a situation like that?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 124: Mages of the Tower (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Alicia sat herself down next to me, before slowly gazing up and looking straight into my eyes.

She was so confident with that shout, that it took me aback. galaxy This was just a what-if, right? …Right?

“Let’s say there is a young, beautiful, and inexperienced sister-in-law who loves you…”

“Yes! ………A, ah, I mean, let’s just say I do.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 124: Mages of the Tower (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“W, what will you do if I do that?”

“Brother-in-law… I, love you.”

Her clear blue eyes looked deeply into my eyes. palette It was rather sensuous and… enchanting. zenith Her slightly flushed cheeks appeared like red flower petals that stimulated the heart.

“I think I will just… turn you down like any other person.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 124: Mages of the Tower (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Did I have to lie here to maintain a better social relationship…?

“D, do I have no charm?!”

“Like, that’s not what I mean…”

I was stuck between a rock and a hard place. abstract Agreeing to cheat was a moral problem whereas saying no was the same as telling a young girl that she was not attractive.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 124: Mages of the Tower (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Let’s swap the people around. adjust Let’s say you and I are married, and Miss Lunia is seducing me. acid O, of course, I don’t think Miss Lunia would seduce her brother-in-law but…”

“Mr. meadow Korin?”

“Wait.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 124: Mages of the Tower (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Alicia twirled her fingers around in embarrassment. action Was she an elementary school kid or what…?

“Nothing! amateur A, anyway, you mean Mr. apron Korin and I are… married, right?”

“Huh?”

“I, I think she would.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 124: Mages of the Tower (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Kids? antenna Umm… I’d say one or two like a normal family?”

“H, how many kids do we have?’

“That’s not enough! arch Of course it needs to be more than 12!”

“I guess… so?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 124: Mages of the Tower (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

In response, my eyes subconsciously went down to her belly. adopt Honestly, she was so thin that it seemed risky to even give birth to a twin but…

“…Is that even possible?”

Even having four triplets in a row is not going to be enough for that though?

“I, it’s just a figure of speech. apron It’s better to have as many kids as possible.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 124: Mages of the Tower (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Hmm………”

“Anyway. beacon Let’s say you’re my wife, and say Miss Lunia seduces me in that situation. arch Are you okay with that?”

“Umm… B, but, Sister loves you right?”

“Why are you even thinking about this?!”

“It’s sad… to not end up with the person you love, right…”

“Huh? adopt If she is willing to cheat… I guess so?”

Is that how it is? atomic Wasn’t she way too good at putting herself in the shoes of someone else? agent Shouldn’t she be more selfish, or rather, have common sense…?

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 124: Mages of the Tower (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“I’m actually starting to be scared of your view on marriage…”

“But if I call that bad, then… that’s the same as denying my own birth.”

“Mhmm…! anxiety If she really loves Mr. legend Korin! amateur I think I’ll be okay with that!”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 124: Mages of the Tower (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

I… didn’t realize that was what she was thinking about. harbor It felt like I had stepped on a mine, and I felt bad for her.

“Alicia, how you were born… is not your fault.”

“Umm…”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 124: Mages of the Tower (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

She shyly scratched the back of my hand with her fingers in a circle, as if signaling that she would leave it to me.

“Please love your illegitimate children just as you would for your other kids.”

“…I know. academy So Mr. meadow Korin.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 124: Mages of the Tower (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Why… was she saying that as if it was a given that I would cheat? action She looked so serious, however, that I could not raise any counterarguments.

“Of course it would be great if everyone can live in harmony! acquire We can create a big family with a big house!”

It felt wrong, but I couldn’t tell her it was wrong. accent If I did, it would be me talking smack about her family…

Wait, what? galaxy Did that mean I could have more wives if I marry Alicia?

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 124: Mages of the Tower (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Hehe. auction That’s actually not bad. arena Just thirteen each and it would be at least twenty-six!”

Rellin was a disciple from the 3rd floor of the Tower among the black magic cult.

In the end, I could not point out what was wrong with her rather-twisted view of family.

“Hah, shit… Manroji this baldy, where did he go off to?”

“That baldy? alpha Who knows? orbit He did win a lot of money though.”

“There were a few who thought he was cheating.”

Since she was alone, Rellin began bad-mouthing Manroji, who was much older than herself. apple Being near the bottom of the group that was visiting the Academy, she could not escape from having to do these chores.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 124: Mages of the Tower (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

As usual, Manroji seemed to have gone through various gambling dens in the alleyway to gamble.

“Haah…”

Some said he left the den dead drunk, while some said that he went out with several prostitutes next to him.

And yet he suddenly disappeared. audit There were all sorts of contrasting information about how he was when last seen.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 124: Mages of the Tower (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Damn that baldhead. accent Damn that Morushtan. aspect I didn’t enter the Tower to do things like this…”

The mages of the Tower were skilled with magic, but were terrible at gathering information. palette Actually, that was natural because they spent most of their time sitting on desks.

It took a very long time for anyone to be able to get taught anything by the old elders of the Tower, because of all the chores that went by the name of ‘probationary period’. palette Unlike the Academy where it was a master-to-student relationship, it was closer to apprenticeship and they didn’t teach magic very often.

The probationary period at the Tower of Mages was very long and complex.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 124: Mages of the Tower (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Frustrated from all the vague pieces of information, Rellin grumbled before going to a decent bar nearby.

Even though Rellin was at the bottom of the rank, she had a decent appearance. action Even the old mages, who talked about pride and lofty mindsets of mages, lost themselves when she took off her robe and showed them her thighs.

“Just you wait. acquire As soon as this is over, I’m moving straight to the Red Cult. ability There, I just have to please that one old guy…”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 124: Mages of the Tower (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Are you here by yourself?”

“Huh?”

It was a lot more polished and refined than the bar Manroji went to for gambling. atlas Her opinion was that the intelligent mages had to use places like this and inwardly trash-talked the filthy baldy one more time.

“You’re…”

“I’m Korin Lork. wizard Miss Rellin.”

He was the guide assigned by the Academy. antique She did not know the name of lowly knights, but still recognized his face.

That was when someone sat down next to her, and Rellin immediately recognized who he was.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 124: Mages of the Tower (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“It’s a place run by an acquaintance of mine.”

Instead of rashly taking his seat next to her, he leaned on the table and gazed at her.

“…Why is an underage student here in the bar?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 124: Mages of the Tower (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Despite her saying no, Korin bought drinks before taking his seat next to her. anxiety Naturally, Rellin also turned towards him.

“Uncle Paul. atomic Two martinis here, thanks.”

“I’m okay.”

“Can I buy you a drink?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 124: Mages of the Tower (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Come on~. autumn You are a mage. matrix Think logically.”

“…Logically about what?”

“Aren’t you too young to throw out pickup lines?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 124: Mages of the Tower (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Rellin wasn’t displeased by the things this youngster was doing to her. echo Back at the Tower of Mages, she had to spend all of her time trying to please the old men.

“It’s normal for bees to come looking for a flower.”

“Now that’s a pickup line. antique We haven’t even started yet.”

“Bees? atlas A flower? audit Huhaha…!”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 124: Mages of the Tower (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

She was at the bare bottom, and had to write dozens of papers and submit a report even when she needed just a single orphan girl to use for her experiments. voyage Therefore, she was obviously rather pleased by this young boy who was trying to seduce her with a deep gaze and a sweet voice.

Rellin thought about the old mage she had been seducing in order to become a secretary of a professor-level mage straight after moving to the Red Cult, and decided to enjoy this one-off occasion.

‘Well. alert At least he’s a lot better than that old Zollin.’

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 124: Mages of the Tower (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“That’s a surprise, actually. aspect Do mages from the Tower also drink?”

“Ah. auction The drinks are here.”

Korin received the glasses from the bartender and gave one to Rellin.

“That’s a stereotype. amateur We in fact tend to be very heavy drinkers.”

“That one’s not wrong.”

“There’s also the stereotype that you are all intelligent elites. alien Is that also wrong?”

………

“…What do you mean?”

“Where in the world did you learn all that from?”

Using the bathroom as an excuse, I was taking a short break when Alicia looked at me with a disapproving light in her eyes.

Ah~. zenith That was a misunderstanding.

“Hitting on girls!”

“Learn what?”

“…I guess so?”

Well, it was true that I approached her to hit on her, but it was incorrect to say that I was a player because of that.

“Listen. acid There’s no one who hates free drinks, is there?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 124: Mages of the Tower (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“And besides, people like themselves being the topic of the conversation.”

“…Is that why you didn’t say anything about yourself, Mr. atom Korin?”

“Yeah. arctic All you have to do is be a good listener to what the other person is saying.”

No one hated free stuff, and even those who initially say no were no exceptions.

For some reason, I could feel a sharp glare on my back, but I had to finish hitting on Rellin. altitude It was my first time seducing someone, but I had a feeling that it was turning out quite well.

“Nothing. armor Just go finish what you have to do.”

“Alright. echo Wait here. action I will be back shortly.”

“Rellin. portal Sorry for the wai…”

She had twinkling pinkish hair, emerald-colored eyes, and a bright smile that enlivened up the dark bar with her radiant presence.

“Wow~. apron Look at you. apple Look at the color of your lips. meadow You are so pretty. accent Which lipstick do you use?”

When I came back to Rellin’s table, I found out that there was a beautiful lady next to her.
