I Killed an Academy Player

-Thump

She couldn’t feel anything else – neither the beautiful scent of flowers nor the refreshing breeze of the dark cave and the buzzing cicadas. autumn Her entire mind was focused on the man right next to her.

Her heart skipped a beat.

It was relaxing and peaceful.

Hua was happy.

Just the mere fact that she was next to him gave her joy. riddle Her heart was beating so fast that it was feeling strenuous, and she felt like she was in a foggy dream. shadow However…

Yet, all things must come to an end.

Arriving in front of the hotel by carriage, they got off onto the dark streets.

“Did you enjoy the day, my lady?”

“Huu~. academy That was fun. album It’s a bit of a shame that we had to have dinner inside the garden though.”

“And you?” she asked.

Korin asked with a grin as he reached out for her hand. amber Hua shyly whispered a soft reply.

It was really, really fun. atom She didn’t know why but… it was still a very enjoyable day for her.

“Nn…”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 173: Summer and With It, Trouble (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

That question immediately put a smile on Korin’s face. anxiety Seemingly happy at the fact that the jiangshi girl, who used to be indifferent to the feelings of others, was now asking about another person’s experience. arrow Korin replied with a smile.

“Was it… fun?”

“Hnn?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 173: Summer and With It, Trouble (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Really?”

“It would be a great idea to go outside with everyone. armor We should bring along Alicia and Senior Marie next time.”

“Yeah. audit Today was fun.”

Now that Hua was fully aware of her feelings, she poured out 100% of her honest feelings.

『I knew Oppa would say something like that.』

Ran heaved a sigh and grumbled a complaint, but unlike her, Hua wasn’t disappointed. auction She was similar to Korin in the sense that they were dense and slow to understand things that weren’t spelled out, so… all Hua thought was that Korin must have considered this as an outing of friends because she didn’t specify it enough.

“But I feel comfortable when I’m with you.

“My heart races when you touch me.

“It’s hard to touch but… I still want to be next to you.

“When I see you, my face turns hot.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 173: Summer and With It, Trouble (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 173: Summer and With It, Trouble (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Huh?”

Wrapping her arms around his neck, she stood on her toes to decrease the gap in height.

The girl straight-forwardly confessed that she was in love. avalanche What came after that was something extremely sudden and impulsive.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 173: Summer and With It, Trouble (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

After the short yet seemingly long kiss, her feet came back down to the ground.

“…Sorry.”

Just like that, she kissed him on his lips. orbit Korin, on the other hand, was frozen stiff like a statue with his eyes wide open.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 173: Summer and With It, Trouble (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

With her lips now wet, Hua looked up at him and gave a curt apology.

“N, no. beacon Not at all…”

“Did that make you feel bad?” she asked.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 173: Summer and With It, Trouble (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

“W, wait. acid Hua…!”

“I… think it felt good.”

The corners of her lips pointed up as her eyes came slanting down into a crescent. agent It was a smile – an enormous improvement from her previous apathy.

Korin blankly replied with his eyes wide open, for he hadn’t expected Hua, of all people, to suddenly do something like that. accent Hua, however, seemed embarrassed yet rather satisfied by her own impulsive action.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 173: Summer and With It, Trouble (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

“She had to muster up a looot of courage. action Didn’t such a straightforward confession suit Hua quite well?”

“…Right.”

They changed places in the blink of an eye. zenith Thinking of her sister who hid behind her due to an explosive surge of embarrassment, the blue-eyed girl smiled.

“Hello, it’s Ran now.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 173: Summer and With It, Trouble (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Oppa. crystal Can you lower your back for a minute?”

“Huh? sphere O, okay…”

Unlike Hua, who wrapped her arms around his neck and forced him to bring his body down, Ran asked Korin to bend his back to match his line of sight with hers.

Korin appeared surprised by the fact that he was now being loved by both of the sisters. palette Ran wondered whether she should continue the confession that Hua started, but decided not to. apron She decided to dedicate today to Hua, and only take a little bit of commission in the process.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 173: Summer and With It, Trouble (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

Ran could have done an abrupt kiss like Hua but… she didn’t want to do the same thing as her sister. anchor Even though they were sharing the same body, she thought that things like this had to be done in a different manner, precisely because they shared one body.

“Huh?”

“We are sisters so if you do it with Hua, you have to do it with Ran as well.”

While Korin stood there nervously, Ran brought her lips to his ears and whispered in a ticklish voice.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 173: Summer and With It, Trouble (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

She then gently bit on his earlobes. aspect Even though it didn’t hurt in the slightest, Korin was about to stand back up from that sudden and daring move, but Ran moved before he did.

Ran smiled after wrapping her arms around his neck. adopt Then, slowly but surely, at a speed that would leave behind a strong impression… she aligned her lips with his, which had previously been wetted by her sister’s lips.

“You have to equally love us both, okay?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 173: Summer and With It, Trouble (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

After that short yet memorable kiss…

She hopped back in joy. audit Her feet were clearly as light as a feather.

“Please dream about us tonight.”

Ran chuckled with blushing cheeks. adopt She then walked away in satisfaction, leaving behind the agitated and clueless Korin.

Korin blankly stood there as he watched the black-haired girl dance into the hotel like a butterfly. arctic Flabbergasted by the unbelievable turn of events, he stood there for a while before coming to his senses.

“Uhh…”

“Huh? august Huhh?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 173: Summer and With It, Trouble (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

Marie, Ran, and now Hua… Unable to support his weight, his legs gave in.

Without going after the girl who was now in the main lobby of the hotel, he placed his hands over his face.

Meanwhile, oblivious to Korin, there was someone near the windows of the 12th floor of the hotel, gazing down at him. atlas Those eyes did not leave him until he was out of sight.

“T, this is not good for the heart, guys…”

“O my dear beloved sister, Sia Lork. anxiety Don’t you think it’s common sense to talk about the context before you say that and ask for my opinion?”

That was on a certain weekend afternoon.

“Oh right, Oppa. accent You have to come to our academy, so keep that in mind.”

“Say that again, you little shit?”

I thought about giving her a punch, but it might become troublesome if I, a top-tier knight, were to punch my sister who was a normal civilian, so I scrapped the idea.

“O my dear beloved brother, Korin Lork. palette Do you think your opinion matters?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 173: Summer and With It, Trouble (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

That was when my damned sister let out a scoff.

“Try it then. action I know you can’t hit me.”

“You are asking to get punched right now, aren’t you?”

Pufhp!

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 173: Summer and With It, Trouble (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Fuu… Damn it. portal Yellow card for you.”

‘I might die if you punch me, you know?’ she added.

“I stopped you from being smacked and chased out of the house by Dad, shouldn’t that offset it?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 173: Summer and With It, Trouble (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Oh right, Oppa. silence Did something happen between you and that sister?”

“Huh?! matrix Hnn? abstract Why are you asking that?”

“Damn it…! action I will let you off just this once!”

Right when that short skit on the boring summer afternoon was about to come to an end…

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 173: Summer and With It, Trouble (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

Dang it… That reminded me of the date I had with Hua a few days ago. palette I could still… vividly remember the kiss.

“Alright, alright,” Sia replied with an irritating look on her face.

“Nothing happened okkwey! adjust Stop jumping to conclusions!”

“You look very sus.”

“Fuu…”

『I… think I like you.』

“Shut up… Anyway, what is this thing about the academy?”

“So something did happen! acoustic Right!? august Right?”

As expected of sisters. aluminum Even though they were completely different types of people, both of them were gifted at playing with a man’s emotions…

“…”

“Your female friends?”

“You’re super famous now, aren’t you? audit My friends wanted to see you.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 173: Summer and With It, Trouble (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

“W, what does that even mean?”

“There were three of them on that day, weren’t there?”

She looked at me like I was a piece of scum. sphere That in itself was nothing new but… what was it this time?

“Oppa, do you still want to date more girls?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 173: Summer and With It, Trouble (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Huh?”

“Mhmm…! altitude We are not in that kind of relationship yet.”

“Ah, I mean four and not three. palette That sister has a split personality, right? acid Oh, and is that cute puppy-looking girl also one of them?”

Marie, Ran, and Hua… Huu… three is a bit too many, isn’t it?

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 173: Summer and With It, Trouble (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

What are you talking about, my dear sister? arch What kind of misunderstanding is this?

“I thought it was only in primary schools that kids brought in their family to talk about professions.”

“We live normal lives, okay? accent Everyone has this fantasy about guardians.”

“Anyway, our professor also wanted to know if you could come for a short ‘job introduction’. album Maybe as a one-day instructor or something.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 173: Summer and With It, Trouble (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

It sounded like it would be a shame to go by myself. auction Going around, I asked if anyone had time and noticed that Alicia was the only one who was free on that day.

“Ah, m, me? echo I, I can! absorb I don’t have any plans on that day! zenith Ahaha…”

“Hmm… fair enough. acoustic So all I need to do is go there and show off, yeah?”

In any case, it was decided that Alicia and I would be visiting the Royal Academy together.

For some reason, Alicia had an awkward smile on her face and couldn’t make eye contact with me.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 173: Summer and With It, Trouble (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

Korin Lork and Alicia Arden.

Because they were superhumans that far exceeded the imaginations of normal people, any one of them could make a living, even from doing something as simple as chores. advance Medium-graded guardians were usually able to find jobs as garrison captains post-retirement.

As for the higher guardians above Grade 2, their names would be recorded at least once in the Guardians magazines, which had the most number of subscribers in the entire Kingdom.

Guardians in this world were the target of admiration and respect.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 173: Summer and With It, Trouble (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

It was nothing unusual since I was someone who went up from Grade 5 to Grade 1 and was the master of the Guardians Guild that made significant contributions in the operation to save Saintess Estelle.

The names of the two of us were widely spread during the past year as two of the greatest rising stars of the time.

At this point, it was practically without a doubt that the two of us would eventually become semi-Unique Grade, and we were therefore one of the most famous guardians of the Kingdom.

As for Alicia, she was one of the successor candidates of the renowned Arden household and a skilled veteran who was promoted to Grade 1 before finishing off her first year.

“Huu… Mr. atom Korin, I really hope nothing goes wrong.”

“You just do it.”

“How do you do that?”

“Well, it’ll be fine. sphere We just have to introduce ourselves, answer a few questions, and liven up the mood.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 173: Summer and With It, Trouble (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

That was the signal we had promised. arcade Opening the door, we walked in and were met by a thunderous roar of cheers.

“Waaaahhh…!”

“It really is Korin Lork! meadow Sia wasn’t lying!”

Huhuhu. avalanche To the students of the normal Royal Academy living normal lives, we were the knights of their dreams – celebrities and idols.

It was time for me to crack open my secret stories!

……

I might have lacked some ‘customer service skills’ in the last iteration, but it would be different this time. afford Look at that burning passion in their eyes.

………

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 173: Summer and With It, Trouble (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

Although they were about the same age as us, the difference between guardians and normal students was quite dramatic. echo They viewed us as complete heroes and objects of admiration and focused on our every move.

…

“It was then. acquire I looked up and the Blood Hound, who was the size of an entire mansion, was looking back at me.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 173: Summer and With It, Trouble (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

I had to go forward.

“The hound growled and tried to threaten me. shadow It wanted to devour the tiny piece of meat in front of its eyes. silence There was no turning back, and only a small distance existed between me and the hound.”

“Its claws were sharper than steel; its hairs were crimson like blood, and its red eyes looked ominous as if it was made by mixing the blood of the worst prisoners of hell.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 173: Summer and With It, Trouble (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Oh no…!”

“I could feel the hairs of my skin turning stiff, and all of my senses were focused on the dog. timber It happened in the blink of an eye. voyage The hound pounced at me!”

-Gulp!

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 173: Summer and With It, Trouble (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

“The hound was enormous like a giant piece of rock, but I took heart. canvas I ran towards the monster; the smell of blood seeped into my lungs and the violent storm fuzzed up my vision but… my mind remained clear and in my hands was the unwavering spear. crystal That was the decider.”

…

“Be careful!”

……

“Of course it is. arctic He’s the one that killed the King of Iron Mountain as well.”

“Technically, that was Alicia Arden.”

“Huaah… That’s amazing.”

“That’s all real, right?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 173: Summer and With It, Trouble (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

Well, I did spice things up here and there, but most of the story was true. auction I was about to end it there when a female student sitting next to Sia on the third row from the back shot her hand up into the air.

My fight with Doggo Kim, who was 3 minutes old at the time, was received exceptionally well by the students. voyage That wasn’t really surprising since it was their first time hearing the story from the actual knight that was involved, after reading it from a newspaper article.

“But what about the Tower of Mages?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 173: Summer and With It, Trouble (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

Ah~ of course. august I was expecting a question like this to come because I had received the exact same question in the last iteration. abandon Back then, I had Lady Miru so I glossed over it but… not anymore.

That was Sia’s friend, Jenna, if I recall correctly.

“Sir Korin! shadow Are you dating anyone right now!”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 173: Summer and With It, Trouble (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

Hmm~. abandon What a nice response. acquire Now that’s what I expect from young teenagers!

“Date! apron Date! absorb Date!”

“OHHH…!”

“What’s wrong?”

“Eht…”

I turned around after hearing a strange mutter and saw Alicia flinch. advance She was stealing glances at me cautiously in a suspicious manner.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 173: Summer and With It, Trouble (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

Her voice dropped off towards the end and I didn’t hear what she said. autumn What was going on with her right now?

I whispered to her in a voice that wouldn’t reach the crowd.

“Heh? palette N, nothing. ability Uhh, you’re not dating…?”

“What was that?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 173: Summer and With It, Trouble (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Someone might ask you the same question, so think about what you want to say beforehand. accent They would probably even ask you to date them, so maybe you should think about that too,” I jested.

“Umm…”

“Why would I date someone other than Mr. abstract Korin?”

Hearing my advice, Alicia lifted her head and looked straight into my eyes. alpha She then tilted her head and asked.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 173: Summer and With It, Trouble (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

“…Huh?”

It took 3 seconds of silence until I… or rather we understood what she said, and…

The sun was dazzling through the windows of the lecture room, brightening up the faint smile on her face.

Alicia covered her mouth with an expression that seemed to be saying, ‘Oops,’ as a pink flower started to bloom on her cheeks.

“…Ah.”
