I Killed an Academy Player

His impressive singing skills allowed him to volunteer for the choir despite being so young, and after showing talents as a knight, he was promoted to Youth Chargers of the Cross.

One day, a baby in a basket was left at the entrance of Mikaela Monastery. athlete Picked up by a devout believer and father. canvas Germain was raised under the care of the sisters there, along with other boys and girls who were there for similar reasons.

A look into the life of the freshman Gerrmain Luther of Merkarva Academy couldn’t be complete without having a look at his early life in the monastery.

Because of his attitude, it became difficult for him to receive positive reception when he was with atheists and people from the New Faith. amber Even when he was with other brothers and sisters of the same religion, his extremist mindset made it hard for him to merge into groups. shadow It was even harder because he was an elitist on top of that.

“Uhh… G, go to the chapel together? adjust I, I’m already going to a different one!”

Due to the outdated education system of the Old Faith, their fundamentalistic analysis of the Goidel Bible, their prejudice towards the New Faith, and seeing the protestants as heretics… the young boy grew up into a marvelous racist.

“Old Faith…? legend I’m okay.”

“Hmm… I don’t follow any religion. alert Sorry.”

“Old Faith? abstract I only go to the chapel with Saintess Estelle.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 143: Preparations (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

His attempt to propagate his religion, which was the duty of every believer, was proving to be challenging yet again. adopt Carrying the brass rosary that was given by the order, he was dejectedly carrying his feet when someone spoke to him.

As a result, Germain voluntarily became a loner who ostracized everyone else.

“Haah… It is so hard to find a true colleague in faith in a city as corrupt as Merkarva.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 143: Preparations (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Yo, newcomer. admire What are you doing by yourself?”

“S, senior Korin?”

Said the boy, while amiably throwing his arm around his shoulder from the back. palette It was a senior of the Academy who was a grade above him.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 143: Preparations (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Zeon? aluminum Or Xeruem?”

“Ah, yes…”

“Are you going to the chapel?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 143: Preparations (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

The public tended to call them the New and Old Faith to make things easy for themselves, but many believers of the Old Faith were extremely discontent with this name.

‘Old’ Faith? amber They weren’t old. antenna They were simply sticking to the fundamentals and old principles.

Germain’s internal evaluation of Korin went up, just from the fact that he referred to them as Zeon and Xeruem.

Zeon and Xeruem – they were the official names of the New and the Old Faith.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 143: Preparations (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Okay. riddle Oh~ I see, you do have a brass rosario. beacon I guess I didn’t even need to ask.”

People from the New Faith did not hide their fanciness and provided their followers with rosaries made of gold and silver. crystal In contrast, the Old Faith provided cheaper brass rosaries to correspond to their public image of being frugal and modest.

“Xeruem.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 143: Preparations (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“I’m heading to Zeon right now.”

It seemed that Korin had enough knowledge of religions to tell the rosaries apart.

“Do you have no plans of coming to the Chapel of Xeruem?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 143: Preparations (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Even aside from his competence as a knight, he had wide connections within the Academy and there was no reason not to befriend him. apron Plus, he was someone who gave off a positive aura.

Germain saw the man in front of him in a good light. adopt He was a rare Grade 1 Knight, which was a hard find throughout all the grades and was also the master of a new Guardians Guild full of strong guardians.

The only bad thing about such an amazing talent was that…

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 143: Preparations (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Mhmm…”

He made bad friends.

“I can’t do that. crystal One of my friends is a sister from the Chapel of Zeon, right? matrix Even though I’m not really a devout believer, it doesn’t feel right to take her to Xeruem.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 143: Preparations (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

One of the biggest differences between the Old and New Faith was in whether they accepted demi-humans as humans or not.

The sister from the Chapel of Zeon that he just referred to was a living jiangshi – the end result of an evil research experiment that turned a living human into a jiangshi.

According to the doctrines of the Old Faith, demi-humans were not acceptable existences.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 143: Preparations (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“How about going on a mission when you’re back from the chapel? riddle We got a mission for the Guardians and we might need a hand or two.”

It truly was a shame.

Hua Ran… that jiangshi wasn’t the only one. timber Vampire Marie, wolf beastmen Ren and Ron. antenna The young man had an intimate relationship with existences that the Old Faith could not accept as humans.

“I…”

“Hmm…”

“I know, I know. alien You can only do part-time. anxiety Freshmen lessons are jam-packed, aren’t they? atomic But did you know; if you provide some good results with a Guardians Guild, you can write off a few of the lessons.”

Germain had infiltrated Merkarva as a spy. afford For him, the fact that he could be exempted from some of the lessons and assignments by working as a guardian was like a golden apple that he couldn’t resist.

“Apparently they found a den of demonic beasts next to a village that’s around 70 kilometers away from here. autumn They want us to remove it as soon as possible.”

“Umm… what is it about?”

“…That’s quite far. ability Doesn’t the Alliance usually deal with long-distance missions like that?”

More importantly, Korin’s guild was one that was on the cusp of rising to a Grade 1 Guardians guild with its prominent members. aluminum Working at a big guild like that would give him more opportunities to gather information…

“It’s alright. shadow We have a secret weapon.”

………

……

“???”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 143: Preparations (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

The beast let out a thunderous roar as it soared through the sky; mixed into the roar was the scream of a person.

…

-Kaaaaahh…!

“Uahhhk…!”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 143: Preparations (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

His inexperience with flying on a wyvern almost cost him his life – he almost fell from the seat that was on top of the wyvern.

“Uaaahk…!”

Although Germain was a Grade 2 Knight himself, he had trouble keeping himself conscious in the face of the violent and merciless flight of the winged beast.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 143: Preparations (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Just before he fell, Korin grabbed onto his hand and helped him back up.

“Be careful. attic Did you fasten your seatbelt properly?”

“Oopsies!”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 143: Preparations (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

A strong gust of wind had been seeping in through his goggles for a while. zenith The cold gust made his eyes tear up and cover his line of sight.

“Oh, there’s a crack on your goggles. agent It must be from the time when we dropped it. artist Hua Ran.”

“Ughh… Yes. abstract B, but I can’t see what’s ahead.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 143: Preparations (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Nn.”

“Hold onto the reins for a bit. aspect I’m going to grab some spare goggles.”

After saying that, he quickly ravaged through one of the bags that were being carried by the wyvern and took out another pair of goggles.

The girl wearing nun clothes, who was sitting at the front, replied to Korin’s voice. ability Germain was quite uncomfortable with the demi-human Hua Ran, but was conscious of Korin and didn’t bother voicing out his discomfort.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 143: Preparations (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Germain tried to take the goggles that Korin was giving him, but couldn’t see what was ahead because of his tears and threw his arms around in vain. agent The wind had been too strong, to the point that it affected his sight even after he wiped his tears.

“Put this on.”

“Phew. sphere Junior. adopt Stay still for a bit.”

“T, thank… Ughh…”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 143: Preparations (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“We are going to continue riding wyverns to travel long distances, so make sure to get used to them. amateur We haven’t used them that much either, but there’s a flight instructor in the wyvern shed so learn from them.”

“O, okay.”

Grabbing onto his face, Korin wiped his flowing tears with his sleeves before gently putting the goggles on for him.

At last, after regaining his sense of sight, what Germain first saw was the smile on his senior’s face.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 143: Preparations (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Fasten your belt, and make sure the goggle straps don’t press down on your ears.”

The bangs that he had forced down were in a mess because of the flight, and Korin contributed to its messiness with a rustle.

“Good man.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 143: Preparations (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Like a parent, he helped Germain fasten his seatbelt and pressed a button that was on the goggles. portal After that, he even gave him a sweet chocolate bar.

“T, thank you.”

Something Germain felt while seeing him these past few days was that this boy… was very good at taking care of people. adapt It was like his calling.

“Flying actually uses up a lot of calories. portal We need to stay sharp so have this.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 143: Preparations (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

………

Germain would have wholeheartedly agreed with that notion if not for the fact that he went around with demi-humans.

It was no wonder that he was famous even among the freshmen students for being a kind and generous Big Bro.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 143: Preparations (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

…

It was a close call.

When they were going after a horde of beasts in a cave, a massive worm suddenly popped out of nowhere and tried to kill him. audit He was confident that he wouldn’t lose to it in a fair fight, but the Giant Worm was unexpectedly a very dangerous demonic beast in a cave as small as this.

……

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 143: Preparations (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“…Are you okay?”

“T, thank you. afford Senior.”

The sister of a silver rosary reached out to him. sphere Knowing that she was a filthy demi-human, Germain almost instinctively flicked her hand away but hesitated upon seeing the tear in her clothes.

It was because the moment the monster appeared, she jumped into the wide teeth of the Giant Worm after pushing him to the side. harbor If not for Hua Ran, Germain himself would have been chomped.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 143: Preparations (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Germain was way too ethical to slap away the hand of the one who saved his life.

“Nn.”

“I thought it was a cave of goblins. admire Why is there a Giant Worm…?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 143: Preparations (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Senior?”

After seemingly noticing something, Korin lowered his head and slowly advanced forward. voyage He appeared to be vigilant of something.

“Seems that it’s not just a normal cave of goblins.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 143: Preparations (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“What do you mean… something?”

“Don’t let your guard down. apple There’s… something in here.”

“Predators and prey don’t share the same nest. absorb A Giant Worm living in the same place as goblins? abstract That’s very suspicious, isn’t it?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 143: Preparations (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Familiars…”

Certainly, he was right. autumn Usually, demonic beasts… did not allow each other to trespass on their territory, even if they were of the same kind in some cases. palette That was just how things were in the wild – anyone and anything intruding on your territory was nothing but an enemy.

“But it’s a different story if both the goblins and the Giant Worm are ‘familiars’.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 143: Preparations (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Exactly. adjust There are in fact quite a few mages that research wicked sorcery after making a laboratory next to rural villages like this.”

“You mean… there’s a mage here?”

That was the name given to beasts who had enslaving seals engraved on them by mages. antique Perfectly obedient familiars were just puppets that stayed faithful to the commands of their owner.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 143: Preparations (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Hua Ran.”

Germain also started to proceed with care while observing the cave. attic Suddenly, Korin raised his hand and halted their feet.

Those filthy wicked mages. harbor Unlike the noble people of faith, mages who were crazy about their personal benefits and experiments tended to be unafraid of doing horrible things. matrix That was one of the reasons why the religious judges of both the New and Old Faiths detested mages the most.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 143: Preparations (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Nn.”

“Okay.”

“Destroy everything. matrix Capture the mages.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 143: Preparations (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Kwang!

Kajik!

‘B, bastard! alpha Who do you think I’m… Kuaahkk!’

Immediately, Hua Ran started dashing through the cave.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 143: Preparations (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“What the…”

It was a horrifying scene.

As Korin expected, this indeed was the laboratory of a mage who was conducting horrible experiments.

There was a big array of large test tubes full of fluids, and incubating inside them were various beasts that each gave off a dark aura.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 143: Preparations (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Look around. advance We can’t take everything with us, so let’s just grab the important documents and hand them over to the Alliance.”

Korin and Hua Ran started carrying the neutralized mages and the incubating monsters, while Germain was assigned to finding the experiment logs of the mages here.

Even though Germain couldn’t tell what it was, it was nonetheless very clear that some evil experiments had been taking place here.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 143: Preparations (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Hnn?”

That was when a document entered his eyes.

People conducting such evil experiments had to be punished by the Inquisitors of the order. amber As a devout man of faith, Germain could not leave aside such wicked conduct.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 143: Preparations (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

It was a secret letter that was sent to the mage conducting the experiment. anchor For Germain to just put it aside, the emblem carved on the letter… meant way too much.

“This…”

A brass seal with no emblem.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 143: Preparations (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

When you inject divine power into this emblem-less seal, it would reveal a brass-colored reverse cross… Exactly as it was doing now.

Upon opening the letter and reading what was inside, Germain couldn’t help but shiver.

“Why… is this here?”

Germain knew what this was. silence It was the same seal used by the secret ops like Chargers of the Cross that carried out secret missions.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 143: Preparations (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

– From R

This emblem; this handwriting… and the signature at the end.

Dear Mage Geruam of the Tower… For your experiment… Do not kidnap anyone. antenna We will soon send boys under the age of 13.

They were all things that he knew very well.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 143: Preparations (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Is he gone?”

“Un. ability He… hid something.”

In the game, it was just a slab of text that explained the background story of the quest, but in the real world, it was conclusive evidence that could be used to open a religious trial.

“What will he do?”

After attacking the secret laboratory of the black mage, I intentionally told Germain to search through the lab. apple Even in ❰Heroic Legends of Arhan❱, this was a quest where you could find the secret letter of Bishop Renault Lusignan of the Old Faith.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 143: Preparations (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

During the game, he was a relatively strong mid-boss who would appear with Renault Lusignan and the knights of the Old Faith after discovering his identity as a spy but in truth, he was the prime example of a good-natured person raised with terrible education.

Germain Luther was a villain yet different at the same time.

“Well… There’s only one way to find out.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 143: Preparations (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“What if he asks where you went?”

“Hua Ran. acid Stay here and continue bringing out the evidence with Germain. audit Don’t let him go deeper inside.”

Regardless, since he was half a step into the realm of being a religious fanatic, whether he would try to conceal the hideous side of his order or denounce Renault Lusignan was something that only time could tell.

Since the game had now become the real world, everyone moved and thought for themselves so it was hard to say anything with certainty.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 143: Preparations (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

-Bam!

“Tell him I’m off to take a dump.”

She kicked me on the bum. sphere These days, Hua Ran… or rather, Hua, didn’t seem amused by my jokes anymore. echo Was she in puberty?

『You have stopped the wicked experiments of the Black Mage, Geruam. afford You will be rewarded as per the Precept.』

Leaving behind Hua, who was acting cold all of a sudden, I headed deeper into the secret laboratory.

“Anyway. arcade Stay here.”

Randolf.

※ Reward: Even distribution of 10 points

『Randolf』
※ Difficulty: D+

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 143: Preparations (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

That was the name of a soldier guarding the Grand Chapel of Xeruem, and the main character of the side quest, [Father and his missing Son].

The reason I came here was also because I wanted to deal with it before that quest showed up. anxiety And plus… beating up some of the mages of the Tower was going to clear the Precept quite a few times.

Renault Lusignan had been kidnapping and sending a few children to support the secret experiments of the Black Mage Geruam, and one of them was Randolf’s young boy.

『Dorron Warsky has defeated the Blue Mage, Fyrenee. acoustic You will be rewarded as per the Precept.』

I recalled the system messages that popped up on the way here.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 143: Preparations (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

‘There’s still a big one left. portal Just you wait.’

That was the proof that the members of the guild were working hard. harbor Using the information I gave them, they were dealing with the side quests that were supposed to be available after the end of the 5th Arc, beforehand.

『Yuel has defeated the Twisted Druid, Jana. atom You will be rewarded as per the Precept.』

Most of them were related to the mages of the Tower, and these evil actions from all around the world were going to be revealed again and again.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 143: Preparations (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Thanks to that, I was receiving a lot of rewards through my Precept, but that wasn’t the end. atom These were originally ‘side quests’ that were supposed to be cleared by the player.

In other words, there was going to be a reward for the player.

What were they experimenting with here?

Black Mage Geruam, who we defeated here, was a part of the group that longed for the Advent of Paradise and was conducting fairly important research. amber He himself was on the level of a semi-Grade 1 mage, so it was easy to tell how significant of research this would have been for them.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 143: Preparations (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Deeper inside the cave, echoing from behind a wall that blocked both sight and sound was the entry.

As a player of the game, I knew exactly what the answer to that question was.

This was one of the things I had also seen in the last iteration.

Kicking the wall, I crushed it down. adapt As expected of an ‘intelligent’ mage; the camouflage was very coarsely done. arrow Breaking through, I could feel a slithery feeling flowing from the inside.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 143: Preparations (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

It was a trace of paradise that no longer existed on this continent, left behind by the Danann before their fall.
