I Killed an Academy Player

3rd floor black mage, Rellin.

4th floor black mage, Manroji.

There was a reason why I kidnapped those specific people. amber It was because it was certain that none of these guys were Adelene the Golden Mage.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 126: Mages of the Tower (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

It was impossible to see through the disguise, so we had to go by eliminating options.

In the 4th Arc of the game, during the episode, Conflict with the Tower of Mages, there were a few proven mages that were most definitely not Adelene in disguise.

That Golden Mage was mixed within the group of 50 mages.

Adelene, the great mage, was exceptionally skilled at changing their face and going in disguise. arrow Even in the game, Adelene appeared with a different face every single time. orbit It was impossible for the player to see through the disguise, and the great mage therefore served to be a nuisance all the way until the final battle.

First of them were the representatives of each cult, Elder Admelech and Elder Morushtan, and because they couldn’t be too conspicuous, the head disciples, Professor Zollin and Professor Arkai were also ruled out.

The rest of the mages apart from the 4 of them were potential candidates, but there was a way to rule out even more.

The main characters of the quest, ❰Love at an Old Age❱, Zollin and his partner Rellin couldn’t be Adelene, and the culprit of the quest, ❰Hidden Tricks of a Gambler❱, black mage of the 4th floor, Manroji, was also not a candidate because he ended up in the jail by the player in the game.

That was by relying on side quests.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 126: Mages of the Tower (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

That left 30 remaining candidates which could potentially be the Great Golden Mage.

I already knew roughly how they were planning on capturing Marie by interrogating Manroji and Rellin, but I couldn’t get much from them because both of them were near the bottom when it came to hierarchy.

In addition to that were 14 other mages that were related to a few other side quests and those that would be defeated by the player in the main scenario of Conflict with the Tower of Mages.

The main character of the quest, ❰Love at an Old Age❱, red mage of the 7th floor, Zollin.

My next plan was to lure him out. legend And in order to do that…

‘In that case…’

“Hmm? academy What are you doing? amber Anything wrong?”

“…”

“Now~. riddle Miss Rellin. alien Let’s get started. attic Face the recording stone, and don’t forget to drool a little bit! agent Ready~. academy Action!”

“Boohoo…!”

“Ayish~ Far out! anchor Do you want to get scolded by my Marie-noona?!”

“I, I can’t do it. airport Please… How can you tell me to read such an embarrassing script?”

Rellin faced me with her ‘reddened’ eyes. acoustic She didn’t dare refuse the directions, and looked extremely hesitant and unwilling.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 126: Mages of the Tower (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“I got no complaints. wizard Buddy, how many of these do we have to film?”

The actress… wasn’t complying with the direction!

On the other hand, unlike the sobbing Rellin, the boy with short hair, Jaeger Hinzpeter, had a grin on his face and looked very enthusiastic.

“Korin… So you are into this kind of stuff… I, I will keep that in mind for later.”

For the past few days, Zollin felt like going out of mind.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 126: Mages of the Tower (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

『This is amazinngggggg! atlas I wasted my life not knowing thissssss!』

Sound was the only thing he could take out from the recording stone. artist Those were extremely explicit, vulgar and… contained words that made it extremely easy to decipher what was going on.

Ever since the first day the post had been delivered to him, new recording stones had been placed in front of his room every day.

Former Earthian.

Korin Lork.

A person from the MZ Generation, who was used to every type of subculture, whether it be from the bright or the dark side of the Internet.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 126: Mages of the Tower (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Even though he was an evil person, he did not have the required tolerance to withstand NTR happening to himself.

The only thing that was stopping him from reporting this to his master, Admelech, was because his partner was Rellin.

On the other hand, Zollin was completely different. aspect He was like an innocent child compared to the MZ Generation who had become corrupt by the numerous stimuli on the Internet.

Naturally, it was inevitable for him to gain tolerance to NTR, the iconic element of the century.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 126: Mages of the Tower (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

It was thus hard for Zollin to come out clean about his relationship with Rellin without one of them moving to the other cult.

The Tower of Mages appeared like a united organization from the outside, but each of the cults was in fact vigilant and wary of each other. audit It was inevitable for the cults to be in a bad relationship, because the allocation of their budget depended on their subjective achievement.

Therefore, a mage at the level of a professor like him, revealing that he was in a sexual relationship with a mage from the 3rd floor of their rival, the Black Cult, was something that required him to put his career on the line.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 126: Mages of the Tower (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Huh?”

『Z, Zollin? riddle Zollin? acoustic T, that man went somewhere else.』

He was in the middle of thinking to himself when a voice seeped out of the recording stone.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 126: Mages of the Tower (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

It was from the third recording stone. acquire The stone, which he thought had finished playing the audio, continued playing Rellin’s rushed voice.

Zollin quickly took out his note and started writing down what Rellin was telling him, in order to head to the place she was locked in.

The protagonist of ❰Love at an Old Age❱, Professor Zollin, stood up to save his lover just like the protagonists of every other love story.

『Please help me! canvas I, I am at the outskirts of the—』

“Oi. riddle I want to look around some parts of the city. echo Get ready by tomorrow.”

It was to head to the place that Rellin had pointed out for him.

The next day, Zollin led a few other mages and looked for Korin.

Unfortunately, he did not see the smirk on the face of the guide assigned by the Academy.

****

The beasts pounced forth.

“Alright. arrow It might take some time though. abstract Where would you like to go?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 126: Mages of the Tower (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Haak… Hak!”

“Ugh… I feel like throwing up.”

Kicking off the ground, they sliced through the air using their body as fuel. palette Their oppressive consecutive attacks and their daring fully-offensive attacks… none of them were effective.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 126: Mages of the Tower (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Your attacks are too honest and linear. adjust Add in some irregular attacks and feints.”

“Ughhh… That’s not that easy though.”

The two golden wolves gasped for breath, looking at the spearman whom they could not reach.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 126: Mages of the Tower (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“I told you to call me big brother. palette Seriously… anyway, let’s take a break. anchor Grab some water and relax.”

“It’s not like bro is that fast… Why can’t we land our attacks on him?”

“You guys are working hard these days. abandon So, do you see any improvements?”

Korin took the Ren and Ron siblings and sat on a chair inside the training room.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 126: Mages of the Tower (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

The siblings were definitely strong. attic That was proven by the fact that they were at the level of Grade 2 Knights just because of their sheer physical capabilities despite living in the slums, away from martial arts until recently.

“It’s nothing surprising for you to lose against me.”

“We’re still losing to you, bro.”

“…I don’t know.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 126: Mages of the Tower (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Are you one of them, boss?”

“Strength alone will not be enough to beat the real powerhouses, because theirs is the combination of technique and experience as well as their innate physical talents.”

“You can say that.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 126: Mages of the Tower (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“E, even you, bro?”

It wasn’t an overstatement nor something coming from arrogance. antique Objectively speaking, Korin was definitely on the stronger side.

“Let’s see… For example, Senior Marie. antique She has great skills as a mage but her power as a vampire is truly on an unbelievable level. antenna In terms of sheer mana capacity, she’s probably around the level of the strongest mage in history.

“But even I’m just a weakling in front of the real monsters. armor Maybe not anymore though.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 126: Mages of the Tower (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“But I will still beat them in a real fight.”

“There is also Lady Josephine Clara, the Frost Giant of the Northern kingdom, the Great Golden Mage… There are numerous powerhouses in the world and compared to them, I’m merely just a single knight.

“Apart from her, there’s also Hua Ran. abstract She is like a walking disaster thanks to the Unbreakable Vajra Body that she was born with. beacon There’s probably very few people on this entire continent that could even cause injuries on her body.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 126: Mages of the Tower (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

The siblings had trouble understanding his paradoxical comment.

“It’s simple. harbor A fight is not like a math equation, and does not have a perfect result that is always the same.”

“Didn’t you say you’re weaker though? athlete How can the weak beat the strong?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 126: Mages of the Tower (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Fight wisely. arcade Korin gave the siblings advice; an explanation of how he was able to survive for so long.

There could be a difference in mood. beacon There could be an issue with landscape, equipment as well as compatibility and having 10 power did not guarantee a victory against someone having 5 power.

“Strength isn’t the only factor deciding the victor. crystal Weaknesses, compatibility, mentality. adapt You must make use of every element to attack at the weak points of your enemy.”

“I… don’t know.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 126: Mages of the Tower (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

But it was a difficult problem for the siblings. alien What he told them about was something that tended to bloom under extreme situations, in life-threatening moments of a fight. autumn A big motivation… was one of the necessary elements.

“Yes! arcade I will protect Ren!”

“…Of course.”

“Ren wants to protect Ron, and Ron wants to protect Ren, right?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 126: Mages of the Tower (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Having something to protect means you have something precious.”

“Because you see, humans tend to become stronger when they have a conviction to follow and a reason to do something.”

Having something that must be protected, meant that there was something that had to be overcome even at the cost of putting their life on the line several times on repeat.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 126: Mages of the Tower (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Ren asked, wondering what it was that someone this strong would have on his shoulders.

“…What is the thing that you want to protect then, boss?”

An innately good person; a needlessly kind-hearted and stupidly honest boss… Why was it that someone like him was dying to get so much stronger?

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 126: Mages of the Tower (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Do you think I’ll be able to become like you one day, bro?”

His short and unhesitant reply made Ren gulp in response. admire It was because the weight and size of his words were way too heavy and enormous.

Oblivious to that, Ron said while facing him with a bright smile and a gaze of admiration.

“Everyone.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 126: Mages of the Tower (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“If you hear how miserable and down-to-dirt I was when I first entered the battlefield, you guys wouldn’t be able to believe it.”

The siblings were able to notice thanks to their inborn senses that Korin wasn’t telling a lie.

“Someone stupid like me was able to do it. canvas Of course you guys can.”

His words were true… He was being honest and genuine.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 126: Mages of the Tower (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

That was a story about his past, which the two of them had no clue of.

“I was very immature and… lost many things.”

Saying that, Korin continued stroking their heads. harbor How many trials had he gone through to reach this current state of being so carefree and broad-minded? adjust How many life-and-death situations did he have to overcome?

The boy said with a smile, as if it was a funny memory to reflect on. avalanche However, Ren was still able to notice the faint trace of sorrow that was hiding under his smile.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 126: Mages of the Tower (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“…”

“Let me protect you guys, all the way until you turn into adults.”

That is my duty as an adult. portal Korin added as he gazed at the two of them with a smile.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 126: Mages of the Tower (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Bro! attic I’m done resting!”

They, however, weren’t content with his words. altitude It felt like he was reminding them once again how they were kids that had to be protected, and children that could not turn into adults anytime soon.

“Get up, boss. zenith We still have an hour until dinner.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 126: Mages of the Tower (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“You know what, bro! audit I want to be like you one day!”

Despite having so much burden on his shoulders, the hero of the siblings stood up as if they were light, and the siblings wanted to jump down from his shoulders as quickly as possible.

“……Not something I would recommend.”

“Very energetic, aren’t we? altitude I love it. sphere Well, Senior Marie is the one in charge of dinner today so…”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 126: Mages of the Tower (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Hukk…!”

****

That was his last piece of advice, but it wasn’t enough to dissuade Ron from sincerely wanting to be like Korin.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 126: Mages of the Tower (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

It was the mana sealing artifact that the Tower had brought in order to seal the vampire. zenith It should have been hidden in his room back at the hotel, so why was it here on his wrist?

“T, this…!”

Zollin gasped for breath as he shot his eyes wide open. ability He was in an unknown room; his entire body was restricted and there was a bracelet on his wrist.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 126: Mages of the Tower (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“W, who is it!?”

“Ku~aha, ha, ha… Ha! autumn Ha!”

From the door of the dark and gloomy room, someone walked closer towards him. orbit It was a young man with a wild countenance and hopping behind him was a girl with sky-blue-colored hair.

“Y, you bastard…!”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 126: Mages of the Tower (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Being a Grade 1 Mage, Zollin was naturally not someone weak enough to be unable to protect himself from harm. antenna But the last thing he remembered was his flames disappearing without a trace and… that man attacking them with his silver spear.

However, Zollin and the mages were attacked there, by that man wielding a silver spear.

After getting Rellin’s SOS sign, Zollin took a few trusted disciples and headed to the location. advance It was because he didn’t want his relationship with Rellin to be revealed.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 126: Mages of the Tower (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Senior Marie.”

“Y, you bastard! absorb Do you know who I…!”

“Shhhh… Everyone says the same thing so let’s not waste time. action By the way… We are going to now spend a very fun time together, friend.”

Korin Lork said with an evil smirk on his face.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 126: Mages of the Tower (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

– Bubble bubble.

Marie hopped forward while carrying something mysterious in her hands.

“N, nn!”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 126: Mages of the Tower (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“W, what is that thing…!?”

“It’s clotted blood soup. abandon It’ll taste amazing!”

“K, kuhum…!”

The black stone pot in her hands was steaming, looking like a bubbling volcano that was ready to erupt any time.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 126: Mages of the Tower (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“A, are you planning to kill me?”

“It will be very delicious.”

Marie coughed with a blush on her face. altitude She handed the pot of congealed blood soup over to Korin.

“Ohh~ Of course not. atlas We just… have a few questions for you. auction And while we are at it, we might harass you a little.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 126: Mages of the Tower (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“T, torturing me won’t get you…!”

His mouth was forced open as chunks of congealed blood were shoved into his mouth. artist Just like, more and more of the vampire’s blood was forced down his throat.

“It might be a bit painful. athlete We weren’t holding back with the high quality, concentrated blood after all.”

“W, what do you—- Uhp! canvas Uhhppp!!”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 126: Mages of the Tower (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

After having 10-bowls-worth of congealed blood shoved into his mouth, Zollin started to growl while tilting left and right like a drunk man.

“Looks like another ghoul.”

“Uhh, auhh… Ahhh…”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 126: Mages of the Tower (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

There were two types of vampire familiars.

Virgins turned into a dracule or a draculina and non-virgins turned into ghouls.

“Yeah…”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 126: Mages of the Tower (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Like, why are they all non-virgins? action How am I the only innocent and pure one in this beautiful world?”

The difference between the two of them was that dracules had the ability to inherit their original strength as well as the power of their owner, whereas ghouls were like consumables. wizard Losing all their strength, they would reduce to being just tougher versions of zombies. sphere They were lowly beasts that could not even retain their rationality from the days they were a human, without having it restored by their owner.

“…Wouldn’t it be a problem on its own if he was a virgin till that age?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 126: Mages of the Tower (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“It’s the same for everyone else though.”

“What has the world come to…”

“Well… Apparently some people these days do it even before entering middle school…”

“Ah! audit Just letting you know, I, I never even held a guy’s hand apart from my dad!”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 126: Mages of the Tower (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“You figured? atom What do you mean by that?!”

Forcing himself to look away from her circular, wide-open eyes, Korin changed the topic.

“Yeah I figured.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 126: Mages of the Tower (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Mhmm… I guess it’s because he has a higher resistance to magic. admire Even with the restricting bracelet on, it did take a lot longer than expected…”

“I suppose 5 bowls is about the minimum for the change to occur. afford It’s about time for me to be careful as well.”

“Anyway, 10 chunks of clotted blood to change, huh… He took a lot more than the other guys.”

“Uun? adopt Korin? anxiety What do you mean by that? legend I, I’ve never given you any congealed blood soups or blood sausages using my own blood!”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 126: Mages of the Tower (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“What was with that pause? atlas You don’t trust me, do you!?”

“…………Yes, of course.”

It took a while for him to settle down the girl with heavily flushed cheeks, who was about to explode at any moment.

Marie vowed to herself that her first ‘dracule’ familiar would be someone specific and no one else.

“More importantly, can you please recover this guy’s sanity? admire He probably knows a lot more so I have a lot of questions for him. august After all, he shouldn’t be able to lie now that he’s become your familiar.”

“Knn… I, it’s a ghoul so this doesn’t count…”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 126: Mages of the Tower (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

『Zollin… My name is Zollin…』

Someone covering their face with a bandana replied to each and every question of the one filming him. acoustic Among them were few questions that might be harmful to the Tower of Mages and yet Zollin seemed fully obedient.

『What’s your name?』

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 126: Mages of the Tower (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

『Tell me about the plan, Zollin. arctic Why have you come to this city?』

『Why?』

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 126: Mages of the Tower (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

『ANSWER ME!』

He spoke of everything.

The one behind the video recording stone bellowed at him. alert The screen shook as the man violently thrashed Zollin around. airport His peculiar laugh and violent actions caused Zollin to open his mouth with a shiver.

『Answer me.』

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 126: Mages of the Tower (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Starting from their plans, to their objective, the reasoning and… he even mentioned the presence of the Great Golden Mage.

The screen moved as the one filming the footage voluntarily showed himself. airport The man with the makeup of long, stretched-out lips, a white face and the clothes of a clown, looked into the eyes of all the mages of the Tower through the screen.

『How crazy! august Everything’s going crazy! wizard Right? autumn Lord Adelene?』

The room filled with mages from the Tower fell silent. athlete The entire group, which now had seven less than what they started with, had trouble finding the right words to say.

“…”
