I Killed an Academy Player

The deafening noise of that megaphoned instrument, which must be taking them for a fool, woke him up as always. amateur Covering his ears and waking up from the bed, he found his bedroom that was jam-packed with his roommates.

-BEEP~ BABBABBO! shadow BBIBBIBBABA BBIBIBO!

Zollin’s day started off with a noisy alarm.

Even the occupants of the 8th floor, which was the roomiest of all the floors, couldn’t get up without hitting the ceiling, so they had to roll themselves down to the ladder and get down.

“Ugh…”

“Is it morning already?”

Looking at the 8 people lying down on the 8-story bed less than 4 meters tall on the bunk bed next to him reminded Zollin of the fish storage of a fishing boat. acid Who would believe that this tiny and dark room, less than 20 square meters wide, had 24 people inside? aspect He didn’t think it was possible until he went into one.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 169: Summer and with it, Trouble (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

That room only had 15 prisoners, because they couldn’t fill up the room. alpha Thanks to that, the prisoners of Room 109 were in possession of the luxurious one-square-foot of private space for themselves.

Most of the prisoners were still on their beds because there was no room for them to get up.

“I’m so jealous…”

Lining up behind the densely packed iron bars, the prisoners waited for the officers. alien It was so packed that they couldn’t even stand properly, and while looking around with their eyes that were hazy from a lack of sleep, they found the room of female prisoners on the other side of the corridor.

“Prisoners. airport We will now begin your morning roll call!”

-Trod! atomic Trod! adopt Trod! sphere Trod!

The officers opened the iron bars after the sonorous shout of the head officer. antenna Hundreds of prisoners walked out in perfect order as they unhesitatingly headed to one side of the corridor.

Despite hundreds of them moving at once, the prisoners moved in alignment like a well-trained army. alien They soon arrived at the training ground that was connected to the prison cells. acoustic That was where they were allowed to spend 1 hour of free time after dinner every day.

One! orbit Two! echo One! silence Two!

“Dunareff Morning Exercise! galaxy Ready~ Begin!”

“We will now begin the morning roll call!”

Of course, there was no such thing as free time in the morning.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 169: Summer and with it, Trouble (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

One! athlete Two! airport One! alpha Two!

None of them made a single mistake because they were all exceptionally trained at it. adapt It didn’t matter even if some of them made mistakes – by tomorrow, those mistakes would be gone.

488 prisoners remained in ranks as they repeated the exercise in unison.

“To the Flag of Golden Potato Flower~ Bow!”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 169: Summer and with it, Trouble (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Potatoes again? crystal Fucking hell. abandon They are freaking obsessed with potatoes.”

“Oi Zollin. canvas What’s for breakfast today?”

“Hmm… I heard it’s boiled potatoes, baked potatoes, and dried potatoes.”

Finishing off with a bow to the Dunareff family’s flag, they headed to the public cafeteria. palette That was when someone called out to Zollin from behind – he was a prisoner who came a tad bit earlier than he did.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 169: Summer and with it, Trouble (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“What was that?!”

The moment he grumbled a complaint, an officer who was guiding the prisoners from the front suddenly turned around with a burning flicker in his eyes.

“U, umm, O, Officer, what I meant to say is…!”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 169: Summer and with it, Trouble (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

-Kaduk!

Before he could even finish giving his excuse, an enormous wooden club struck him on the head. acoustic The prisoner fell from that single strike, but the officer did not let him go and continued kicking and bashing him without any hesitation.

In the end, the club broke before the person. august It was a common sight in this prison.

“You pieces of trash are eating the potatoes! antique The potatoes! absorb That the farmers! ability Shed buckets of sweat for! audit To harvest! orbit They’re! atlas Precious! atomic Taxes! acid Of our citizens!”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 169: Summer and with it, Trouble (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“You damn garbage of society have no idea how merciful Duke Marde and Duchess Elencia are being to you!”

Zollin inwardly complained with a gulp but even that earned a burning gaze from the officer.

‘…Crazy. legend This place is crazy.’

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 169: Summer and with it, Trouble (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Oi, 4886. aluminum You got any complaints?”

“You better not.”

“N, no sir!”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 169: Summer and with it, Trouble (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

After the feeble breakfast, they headed straight away to the workplace.

Of course, there were more than enough salt mines in the South. alert Actually, most places in the Kingdom used rock salt – those were of higher quality and were much cheaper.

The prison Zollin was in was connected to a notorious salt pond, that was among one of the most infamous places in the South. audit It was an inhumanely arduous task where they stored up seawater and dried it out under the sun to acquire salt.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 169: Summer and with it, Trouble (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Haak… Haak…!”

Only the horrendous criminals who received a life sentence were sent to these salt ponds. beacon They required a lot of incredibly difficult labor and the life here was so harsh that the prisoners didn’t usually last long. agent In a way, it was a more cruel punishment than death.

The reason these salt ponds existed was not to earn profit but to fuck the prisoners up.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 169: Summer and with it, Trouble (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Zollin repeated the difficult labor under the burning sun. alert He used to be an elite mage of the Tower of Mages back in the day, but he was now just a prisoner who was referred to by the number 4886.

His future was going to be ever-so bright without those bastards!

He was supposed to be a successor of the elder of the cult, Chunsik… or rather Admelech, so how the hell did he end up like this?

It was all because of that woman who was crazy for potatoes and that gold digger!

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 169: Summer and with it, Trouble (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Spero spera.

The Tower of Mages was strong.

There was no way that they would leave them like this the whole time! action He was sure that a team would be dispatched before long to save them from this hell!

“Just you watch… Once I pass through these dark times, trust me, I will fly back into the skies. alpha This Professor Zollin will not fall like this…”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 169: Summer and with it, Trouble (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Huh?”

Zollin was hoping for a better tomorrow when a group started making their way over to the wide salt pond. shadow Were they new recruits? agent Looking at the prisoners that slipped and died on repeat every day, he had indeed been thinking about how it was time for new ones to be sent in.

There is hope as long as you don’t give up.

Seeing the one at the lead of the group, Zollin couldn’t help but doubt his eyes.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 169: Summer and with it, Trouble (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Professor Ronald, one of his peers who was considered to be the future elder of the Green Cult was here! adopt Looking behind, Zollin also recognized the faces of the ones behind him! amateur All of them were powerful high-ranked mages!

“P, Professor Ronald?”

“Professor Zollin…”

“Professor Ronald! galaxy You’re finally here to save us all!”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 169: Summer and with it, Trouble (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Hope was despair in disguise.

“…”

“…No, we were also captured just like you.”

It was my third holiday after coming back in time. album A lot of things had happened in the meantime.

On a bright summer’s day under the warm sunlight of mid-July, more than a thousand students were gathered in one place listening to the closing words of Chairman Erin, which came to an end before long.

A month went by in a flash after the Saintess Kidnapping Incident and the War against the Tower of Mages.

“Fuu~. antenna Finally summer holidays, huh.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 169: Summer and with it, Trouble (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Many things had happened and those things had affected the continental state as well.

I saved Marie, defeated the King of Iron Mountain and Fermack Daman, and was also enlightened about Marie’s fearsome background.

Even aside from that, the hotel that I invested all my wealth into almost got ruined by a random bat, which I somehow managed to save after a stressful job; put a stop to Hua Ran’s ascension to ‘Hou’ during the festival and had a fake engagement with the Arden Household of the East.

‘The fall of the Tower of Mages. airport Time for the Old Faith now.’

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 169: Summer and with it, Trouble (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

There were a lot of things to do including the weeding out of the Hail Hydra bastards who were hiding inside the New Faith. album I was able to befriend Estelle through this incident, so all that had to be done now was slowly persuade her into dealing with the internal traitors.

“I don’t even need that much.”

“Korin! agent Are you done packing up?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 169: Summer and with it, Trouble (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

My plan for the holiday was to head to the royal capital. sphere It wasn’t for anything serious; it was to meet my parents after so long and get rewarded by the palace. antique We also told other members of the guild like Yuel and Kranel to come to the capital for the awarding ceremony.

“Nn~. absorb It’s fine. alien I’m going to put it down on the Hresvelgr anyway.”

“Why don’t you make Doggo carry it?”

One bag and two spears – that was all I had to carry with me. atomic Unlike me, however, Marie was carrying a bag that was bigger than herself.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 169: Summer and with it, Trouble (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Are you okay though?”

“I was wondering if you didn’t have to go down to your place this holiday.”

“Nn? abandon What do you mean?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 169: Summer and with it, Trouble (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“You are going to the capital… so I’m coming as well.”

“It’s okay! acoustic There’s going to be an award from the royal court! aspect That’s an honorable event! abstract I also have to inspect the stores in the capital! alien Most importantly…”

Marie glanced around and after noticing that no one was looking at us, she continued after carefully grabbing my finger.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 169: Summer and with it, Trouble (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“K, kuhum…!”

“Hehe…”

“Then… shall we go?”

How adorable was a girl in love for the first time? atomic Just thinking how the target of that love was me made my face burn.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 169: Summer and with it, Trouble (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“By the way, Korin. album That thing in your bag…”

Even though Doggo was playing around way too much these days, I still didn’t want to become a father that troubled their child because of something so trivial.

“Ah, I’m okay. arcade This much is fine…”

“Korin, pass me your bag. matrix I will tell Doggo to carry it.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 169: Summer and with it, Trouble (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Isn’t that… the Holy Grail? abandon Is it okay for you to carry it around like that?”

Marie hesitated with her eyes on my bag. absorb There certainly was something that was incredibly eye-catching along with the red and silver spears.

“It’s just a big cauldron though, right?”

“You mean Undry?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 169: Summer and with it, Trouble (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Nnn… I guess no one would find out without carefully inspecting it.”

It was undeniable that Undry was a tremendous treasure that was at the level of Claiomh Solais but I had no use for it right now because Undry didn’t choose me as its master.

Magic Cauldron, Undry. canvas It was one of the four great treasures of the Danann that I acquired after defeating Dun Scaith and was the treasure symbolizing the King of Gods Dagda’s Divinity of the Earth.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 169: Summer and with it, Trouble (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Unlike other artifacts, the 4 treasures were picky in the sense that they chose their owners. alien Even in the case of Dun Scaith, it was more like he was living off of Undry like a parasite instead of making actual use of it.

“There’s no one that can, so it can’t be helped.”

“What a shame… It’s a powerful item and we can’t even use it.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 169: Summer and with it, Trouble (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Let me tell you a secret.”

This was going exactly like the previous iteration, where we couldn’t make use of Undry despite acquiring it.

“If you boil potatoes here… they become extremely delicious.”

“Nn? alien What is it?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 169: Summer and with it, Trouble (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Every dish you create using this cauldron becomes the best delicacy in the world. acid This is the best item you could hope for when camping.”

“I, is that okay though? abandon Treating a sacred item like that…”

“Well, even the myths label it as a cauldron that infinitely spawned food, so this must be how you are supposed to use it, right?”

“Haht! acquire Really?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 169: Summer and with it, Trouble (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Nn! canvas I know a hotel in the capital. timber I’m sure we’ll be able to find a room there for everyone.”

“R, right?”

“Let’s get going. atomic Hua Ran and Alicia are waiting.”

“A hotel you know? amateur It’s not like it’s yours again, right?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 169: Summer and with it, Trouble (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“…The hotel franchise is under my sister’s name.”

***

How far-reaching was the financial empire of the Dunareff family? accent I became genuinely curious.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 169: Summer and with it, Trouble (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Dear, did you see the letter that came this morning?”

The residents of the 21st street of the capital of the El Rath Kingdom, Rudene Lork and Suel Lork started yet another busy morning.

Although they were a normal and common pair of civilians who were living a peaceful and modest life, these days, there was a slight concern in their minds.

The couple ran a small restaurant, and their morning started off early where they peeled potatoes to prepare for the morning session.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 169: Summer and with it, Trouble (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“How can you call him unfilial? alien He’s been sending letters all the time.”

“From who, the unfilial man of our family? acid No, I haven’t.”

“So what if he sends letters!? legend He is an undutiful child who doesn’t even show his face once!”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 169: Summer and with it, Trouble (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“We raised him wrong! riddle We really did! athlete That little kid doesn’t even remember about his parents anymore now that he’s breathing the Academy air!”

It was because their oldest son, Korin Lork, had never shown his face even once after entering the Academy in March last year.

“Ehew, don’t say that. artist He must have been busy.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 169: Summer and with it, Trouble (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Suel did not console her husband, who had a visibly sullen look on his face, because she knew it wouldn’t last long. acoustic If he was that worried, why didn’t he write a letter to him?

He had been greatly concerned already that his son was entering a guardian academy that was full of risk and hazards, so it was natural for him to feel like rotting away on the inside because his son was refusing to show his face even once.

“Busy? harbor Sure! matrix You mean he was busy playing in the South last summer and strolling in the East last winter?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 169: Summer and with it, Trouble (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Why not? harbor It’s for young kids so of course there will be. anchor Sia is also the head of a club in the Royal Academy, right? arcade They’re both leaders wherever they go. amber I wonder who they took after.”

“Are there clubs and societies in the Guardian Academy?”

Seriously, the guys of this family were rather bad when it came to expressing their feelings. arrow The same was true for her son as well as her husband.

“But Korin seems to be doing very well these days. atomic He got promoted into something, and ‘Guardians’ was it? acid He seems to have a club with his friends.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 169: Summer and with it, Trouble (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Anyway, he said he’s coming to the capital this holiday.”

“Really?”

“It must be me.”

Where did all the complaints about the ‘undutiful child’ go?

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 169: Summer and with it, Trouble (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Look here. adjust He’s coming to the capital with his friends.”

Rudene suddenly turned with a flick with a bright smile on his face. aluminum Seeing that, Suel grinned while handing over the letter that they received in the morning.

“Hmm… Hnn? agent Royal banquet? august Is he going to the banquet?”

“The Saintess got kidnapped recently, right? atomic I heard he did something important there.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 169: Summer and with it, Trouble (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Seemingly proud of his son, Rudene couldn’t hide the smile on his face as he read through the letter several times.

“Of course, a man ought to put themselves at risk for a greater future! avalanche Haha!”

“I hope he’s not putting himself at risk.”

“Hoho. riddle That little boy must be really brave just like me.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 169: Summer and with it, Trouble (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“That boy. riddle I wonder if he has a girlfriend now.”

“Well, he doesn’t look bad, but probably not because he’s coming with his friends. arcade Someone his age wouldn’t be going around with their friends when they have a girlfriend, right?”

Although Korin was an unfilial child who didn’t show his face for one and a half years ever since he entered the Academy, he appeared to be pioneering his own path very well from what Rudene could see through the letter.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 169: Summer and with it, Trouble (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“He said ‘friends’ though.”

“But what if… he’s coming with his girlfriend to introduce her to us?”

“Hmm… That’s true.”

However, Rudene was still hopeful. adapt Just like him and his wife, his son was tall and had a decent appearance. palette It was about time that he got himself ‘a’ girlfriend.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 169: Summer and with it, Trouble (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

The Lork couple started the day off with excitement as they waited for their son to return.

“Don’t be silly.”

“Hoho. action We have to prepare an enormous feast.”
