I Killed an Academy Player

It all went according to plan. portal We crossed the ocean as previously planned. arctic In fact, it only took us half a day.

“Guhahaha…!”

Three days on foot was enough to cover the distance, and my original plan was to look for a way to go back to our Kingdom after reaching the Dingle Peninsula.

The Steel Archipelago and the Dingle Peninsula, located at the very south of the Northern Kingdom, were not that far apart.

An enormous mammoth was marching north while trampling on the frozen ocean beneath. academy No matter how frozen it may be, it didn’t make sense that the frozen ocean could hold on against this Blizzard Mammoth that weighed about 20 tonnes, but this Grade 1 demonic beast was like none other.

The sled led by a large Dire Wolf was relentlessly speeding across the frozen ocean. orbit Riding on the sled were us and the half-giants that were more than 3 meters tall, but the biggest eye-opener wasn’t the sled or the half-giants but the beast at the head of the group.

“GUWOOOO…!”

Anything that touched the feet of a Blizzard Mammoth would freeze at a rapid speed.

Seeing this reminded me of the huge monster wave that would happen in the Northern Kingdom in the future, where tens of Blizzard Mammoths would tread across the ocean to create an enormous bridge…

Its gigantic feet were known to freeze everything including souls – at least that was what it was known to do among the half-giants.

In the original game, stories about the half-giants were revealed when following through the character scenario of Beazeker, who was a grade above the player in the Academy.

What was strange, however, were the things that the half-giants had put on the mammoth.

‘These half-giants were the ones that attacked the excavators. action Why did they attack the Tower of Mages all of a sudden?’

They attacked the excavators of the Tower of Mages and stole the items they had been excavating… in other words, the remains of the Titans, and quickly crossed the ocean.

“Nnn…”

Not every half-giant was an enemy, but most of them would later turn out to be an enemy, but that didn’t seem right, seeing as how they had attacked the excavators of the Tower of Mages…

They were the descendants of the giants, the once-called Titans, that resided all across the Northern Kingdom. atom These half-human half-giants later appeared as vassals of Tates Valtazar.

“Did you have a good sleep?”

“Where is this…?”

“Junior?”

That was when Estelle, who had been captured by the half-giants along with me, slowly opened her eyes.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 162: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

I explained what happened, and the few things that I knew about the situation.

“As long as we don’t get killed by them, that is.”

“It’s… somehow going according to plan though…”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 162: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“What do you mean?”

“Hmm… This doesn’t seem that bad actually,” said Estelle.

But of course, if I wasted my energy by doing that, we would have been captured by the pursuers of the Tower of Mages anyway so that would have been pointless.

Each and every half-giant was a monster that was at least at the level of a Grade 2 knight after turning into an adult. adopt I would have fought them with my life on the line if they hadn’t tried to capture us with normal ropes.

“These people. matrix I know what clan they’re from.”

It didn’t take long for me to understand what she meant by that.

Although the Old Faith was still discriminatory against demi-humans, the New Faith had attempted to protect demi-humans and bring them back into society several times.

The biggest difference that separated the Xeruem, the Old Faith, from Zeon, the New Faith, was definitely in their treatment of demi-humans.

But after the Witch’s Revolution and the reformation… the birth of the New Faith gave birth to a different perspective on demi-humans.

Whether they be witches, vampires, or beastmen who were born a human, or those who had inherited it from their ancestors, humanity had been putting them in the same category as demonic beasts and demonic spirits for a very long time, and the religious order had been the one leading the discrimination.

Marie was from the Dunareff family, who weren’t afraid of anyone, so she was a different story, but what about Beazeker and Hua Ran?

Vampire Marie Dunareff, and Beazeker the half-giant.

The reason they were admitted into the Academy despite having no connections and being faced with constant opposition was all thanks to Zeon, the New Faith… especially the wholehearted support of Saintess Estelle.

The biggest evidence of that was Merkarva Academy’s admission of demi-humans. aspect Hua Ran was the exception in my grade, and there were two representative examples from the grade above us.

“Look who it is! harbor The Saintess of the Continentals!”

“Hello, Chief Kareem. alert It’s been 3 years, has it?”

At the tip of Dingle Peninsula, inside the large tent, we came across the chieftain of the half-giants.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 162: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Chief Kareem was quite hospitable. arcade Well, maybe that was natural considering how Estelle was like the chairman of a scholarship foundation, while he was the parent of a student who was in the Academy thanks to that very scholarship.

“The warriors almost made a grave mistake! amateur They must have mistook you as those bastards from that big tower.”

The world perceived half-giants as a violent species that were closer to demonic beasts rather than demi-humans. harbor However, Chief Kareem welcomed us like a gentleman and was much more respectful than I imagined.

“I believe that was when Beazeker was going to the Academy.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 162: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Right, and is Beazeker doing okay at the Academy without making trouble?”

“I was in fact, kidnapped by the Tower, so it was thanks to them that we were able to cross the ocean with ease.”

“Of course. adjust He is the highest-achieving student of the 3rd grade Knight Department, after all.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 162: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Pretty much.”

“Guhahaha! amber Now that’s my son! alien The Continentals aren’t bad but they can’t be compared to us giants!”

“Highest-achieving… Does that mean he’s the top?”

I suddenly recalled a memory from the past.

But there, the player found out, alongside Beazeker, that the village of the half-giants had been massacred and had to venture off to discover the culprit behind it.

Beazeker, the top student of the Knight Department at the same grade as Marie. abstract After getting closer to him, it was possible to visit Beazeker’s tribe with him.

‘Titans revived by the Tower of Mages…’

But this time, I attacked and destroyed the laboratories of the black mages, taking all four heads away from them, so Mata shouldn’t be able to be resurrected this time around.

It wasn’t just a random titan either – it was Mata, the hundred-legged and four-headed giant.

“Hmm? aspect Are you one of his juniors?”

“Sir, since you are the father of Senior Beazeker, may I please talk about something?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 162: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

I wasn’t lying because, in the last iteration, Beazeker did say he would introduce me to his younger sister, Karin. attic And saying that was one of the customs of the half-giant tribes, that he acknowledged me as a strong warrior.

“Hoh… You’re that close, huh?”

“Yes. absorb He even said he would introduce Ms. arena Karin to me.”

However, I turned down the offer because a half-giant reaching 2.5 meters in height didn’t sound too appealing. legend Besides, I was almost with someone else back then.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 162: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“May I please ask why the half-giants went across the ocean to attack the mages?”

Chief Kareem hesitantly held himself back from replying before throwing a glance at the Saintess. adopt He seemed to greatly trust her for introducing his son to the Academy.

“A warrior acknowledged by my son certainly has the right to ask.”

“There is a question I would like to ask.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 162: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

The Tower of Mages wasn’t trying to fully revive the Titans. zenith Their goal was to reinvent them through Alchemy and use them in wars like golems.

“You did come with the Saintess so… Fine. antenna They were disgracing our ancestors. atlas Our ancestors fell asleep at the end of that glorious war and yet those bastards are digging their remains up to interrupt their eternal rest.”

“…I see.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 162: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

These half-giants had probably been attacking the Tower of Mages on repeat, just like what happened last evening. crystal After the Tower of Mages incident, the mages of the Tower must have crossed to the Dingle Peninsula and massacred them for revenge.

I finally understood the full circumstances of Beazeker’s character scenario.

“Ah…”

Whatever their goal was, the half-giants must have considered them to be grave diggers stealing the remains of their ancestors.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 162: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Chief Kareem. adopt For a long time, I had been thinking that Titans and giants were the true deities of this world that forged it into being.”

Half-giants, a connection with Estelle, and them worshiping the Titans as their ancestors…

In other words, this tribe would have been destroyed by the Titans under the control of the mages if the storyline had progressed without a change.

“…Junior Korin?”

“Hoho. abandon This young man sure knows his stuff!”

“Whenever I saw hints of their marvelous and supreme myths, my heart raced and I had been longing to go after their footsteps.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 162: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Of course not! atlas He did exist. alien In fact, I saw the remains of Balor, the Great King of Titans with my very own eyes.”

“Right! echo All the Continentals consider the history of us giants as a myth, but that doesn’t seem to be the case for you.”

Kareem clapped in admiration.

“And what about the great King of Titans, Balor? avalanche He was a true leader and a great warrior that would forever remain in the annals of history!”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 162: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“I am not kidding. avalanche Those evil mages from the Tower! sphere Those bastards! aspect They were using the Eye of the Great King! anchor Conducting evil experiments with it!”

Kareem shot out of his seat after hearing what I said. arch He was among the taller ones of half-giants. alert He stood up with his height reaching 4 meters which instantly cast a shadow on the surroundings.

“What?!”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 162: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“This is unforgivable. autumn The graves of the Titans must solely be under the protection and maintenance of their descendants, the giants.”

“These fucking mages! atomic They disgrace not only the graves of our forefathers but even that of the King!”

It wasn’t a lie, because there really was Balor’s eye in the Tower of Mages.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 162: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“We must put a stop to their wicked plans! aluminum However, their numbers are many. adjust And although they are naturally not as strong as you, giants, it is undeniable that they have a menacing force.”

“Of course!”

“What do you say we do?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 162: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Even though I used my tongue to give them a reason to fight, they weren’t instantly drawn into the idea of a full-fledged battle.

Kareem immediately called for a tribal conference, with the topic being a full-fledged attack on the Tower of Mages and cooperation with the Southern Kingdom.

“Let’s join forces. aspect Let’s fight them together!”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 162: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“If you cooperate with the annihilation of those filthy bastards from the Tower, we will build a warehouse of potatoes for everyone who participates in the war!”

Like that, after becoming allies with the half-giants, we were able to return safely thanks to their help.

Considering the harsh environment of the Dingle Peninsula, a large-scale supply of food was always welcome.

I needed another promise to make the half-giants our ally.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 162: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“I knew you would come back safely, my dear disciple!”

We were greatly received by our comrades. avalanche They appeared to have been very worried during the past few days.

“Korin…! apron You’re back!”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 162: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Heh?”

“Huh? anxiety Why are you looking for Hua Ran?”

“Your safety is the most important, Mr. altitude Korin. agent Same with the Saintess and Ms. aspect Hua Ran.”

“Huhu. antique You’d be surprised to hear about the awesome thing I accomplished on the way back.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 162: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Wait, so where is Hua Ran?

***

“Huh?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 162: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Estelle moved to her tent following the guidance of a priest.

“Ohh, Saintess…!”

“Saintess, this way please.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 162: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

They were here to save her, so Estelle gave them a smile and a wave despite being exhausted.

She could feel the relief and joy in the voices of the soldiers and priests who welcomed her as she walked next to them.

“Saintess, thank the Lord you were safe!”

“He said he would see you after you have taken your well-deserved rest.”

“I see.”

“Where is His Holiness the Pope?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 162: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Although it was a preemptive one set inside a tent, it was made for nobles and members of the royal family and decorative rose petals were floating on top of the warm tub of water.

Estelle waved at the priest who guided her to her room and immediately headed to the bathtub.

It probably didn’t mean that the pope was here in person though; there was probably a communication device prepared for it.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 162: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

In her hurry to take off her clothes, her rosary ended up crashing into the bathtub.

Estelle hurriedly took off her clothes that had been drenched with the blood of sheep and water so that she could quickly clean herself after spending several days without a bath.

“Finally…!”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 162: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Despite being a Delinquent Saintess with questionable actions, she nonetheless quickly covered the rosary with her hands that represented the Lord. galaxy Even though it was just an accessory, she was still a believer at the end of the day.

“It’s made of gold so there shouldn’t be any…”

“Oops…”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 162: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Paint?”

This couldn’t be.

It was when she was observing the rosary that had just crashed into the bathtub that she discovered something strange – a part of the rosary was dented, and revealed within that dent was a cold plate of steel.

There was no way that her rosary which should have been made of pure gold would change colors just from a bump.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 162: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Was it switched by someone?’

But when? acquire As a believer, she had never let go of her rosary so there was only one answer. echo It must have been when she was brought into the Tower of Mages, back when she was unconscious.

Besides, the rosaries should have been made by craftsmen inside the order who poured molten gold into a mold but…

All the ornaments and accessories on her body were the best of the best that she had acquired with her own hands. canvas What kind of crazy artisan would give the Saintess an accessory of fake gold?

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 162: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

The Zeon Order had several conflicts with evil mages and the Xeruem Order. adopt In order to seal the power of the heretic prisoners, the order developed a way to seal their power, but that was a secret only shared within the New Faith.

“Inquisition…”

Estelle arrived at the answer before long.

But then why? atomic Why would they switch the rosary to a fake one? accent In fact, what even was this rosary and what was it made for?

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 162: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

There was a traitor within the order.

In other words…
