I Killed an Academy Player

The dark underground was occupied by citizens who could see no light.

This enormous underground city, which had been made for fairies, was now the hiding spot of demi-humans who gathered in the city to escape persecution.

Dana Shee – an underground city created by Dagda Mor, the Danann of Earth, in the distant past.

At the center of that underground world was a large temple-like building. avalanche It was a temple at the start – a temple built by the fairies to make offerings to the Danann of Earth who created the underworld of Dana Shee for them.

Walking down the corridor, faintly lit by torches, the feline lady soon arrived at a room with numerous people, which she could see with her nocturnal eyes.

-Clomp, clomp

“Wolf and Vampire. shadow Even the Fairy elders were waiting.”

Ednar glanced across the wide conference room. accent This temple, which used to host hundreds of believers at once, only had roughly 30 people.

“We’ve been waiting for you, Illusan.”

“They’re dead. abstract They were helping kids escape the Deadland and did not pass the Full Moon.”

The conferences held here were organized to direct the new pathway of the Demi-Human Union, so they had to choose their members with caution, but this was still fewer than normal.

“Looks like we’re missing a few.”

An old fairy Leprechaun shared their assumption alongside a lament. meadow He managed a small shoe repair shop in the village but was the oldest fairy and was therefore the Chief Elder of Mound.

“More rules have been coming into place against discrimination but these guys are acting like there’s no tomorrow. audit This is a bad omen.”

Deadland… referred to Xeruem, the Chapel of the Old Faith. arch Demi-human hunts were still taking place away from the eyes of the New Faith and the royal family within the outskirts of the kingdom.

“…Yeah.”

“Is it the Serpent again?”

Serpent – that title was used inside Mound as both a derogatory and frightening term. audit Countless numbers of their comrades had been captured at the Deadlands and ripped apart by the Serpent.

“…”

A black dog growled from the crowd of the wolf and dog beastmen. advance However, the few who knew of the backstory simply sighed in response.

“Damn, that little snake… We should’ve killed her back then.”

“All thanks to those little doggies that ruined everything ’cause of the Full Moon.”

“What? afford Glaistig…! abandon Are you picking a fight with me right now!?”

A wolf with lustrous silver fur, the Wolf Elder of beastmen, Ku Shee, knew that this agenda was a negative one for him and kept his silence. aspect That was when the Vampire Elder scoffed at him.

The provocative statement of a vampire, a rival faction, incited the wolves and the dogs. anxiety The Chief Elder of Mound did not wish for a fight between the top two factions of Mound and intervened in their conversation.

“As you all probably know already, the New Faith has been going through some serious changes.”

Ednar didn’t bother commenting. avalanche The rage that formed due to that mistake that day was what had been scorching them for a decade.

“Stop there. auction Blaming the past won’t get us anywhere. harbor This too is one of our mistakes, and a sin we must wear on our shoulders.”

“Wasn’t the Saintess… a supporter of peace?”

“…Right. athlete The Saintess massacred the pope and the cardinals.”

Before talking about him, Ednar first shared what was going on around the world.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 181: Contact (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

The Saintess’ rampage, which immediately changed the power structure of the New Faith was also a concern for Mound. avalanche Ever since the Witch Revolution 100 years ago, the Zeon Order had acted as a shield for demi-humans against open persecution.

“I can’t believe that girl smashed the pope and the cardinals to death.”

“…Considering how she was, the Saintess should be on our side though?”

For the citizens of Dana Shee, who were only alive thanks to the permission of the Zeon Order, it was a concerning matter that they simply could not ignore.

“…Don’t tell me…”

Ku Shee opened his mouth for the first time in the conference. beacon He was perhaps one of the ones who benefited the most from the help of the Saintess, and despite him looking down on most humans, he did not do the same for the Saintess.

“The Saintess is not the problem. sphere What’s important is that the Zeon Order is being cleaned out. altitude Cardinals and bishops alike.”

“We found traces of Bishop Gress – the one who we had been supporting to become the next cardinal, fleeing to the Chapel of Xeruem.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 181: Contact (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Only a few people of the Zeon Order knew of Mound, the union located in Dana Shee. beacon The pope, the Saintess, the cardinals… and a very small number of bishops. palette Unfortunately, Bishop Gress was one of those few bishops.

“…”

“That’s massive trouble! airport If Bishop Gress speaks a word about Dana Shee…!”

Everyone became silent just like Ku Shee.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 181: Contact (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

The silence in the room of sighs and lamentations was broken by Ednar’s sentence.

Everyone in Mound knew upon seeing her irrationally stubborn hatred, that a conflict against the Serpent would not end until one of them disappeared from the face of this planet.

“It will go into the ears of the Serpent.”

The elders of Mound could not conceal their distress. antique Ever since that incident, the Serpent had been indiscriminately hunting their comrades in search of them.

“What do you mean?”

Ednar decided to share his message, earlier than scheduled. canvas This was a very risky gamble.

“Korin Lork. portal He reached out to me.”

“What if there was a way out of this?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 181: Contact (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Which side would they decide to stand with, she wondered.

『We can lend you a hand if you wish. album Join us for the new world.』

『Tell them to elect a head of the union, Fairy King Finvarra. wizard It’s an old tradition but that shoe-making fairy should know it.』

Korin Lork and a Sage of the Forest, who had contacted them quite some time ago. antique Whoever they decided to side with, Ednar knew that it would lead to an earth-shattering change.

I recalled the fight I had against Tates Valtazar.

***

『Not bad! palette A bit faster this time!』

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 181: Contact (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

A repetition of Rearing Head of the Venomous Dragon and consistent use of the Domain. absorb Each and every one of his actions was an eye-opening enlightenment.

His strides; the way he held his spear; his sense of balance shifting with each strike and his artistic control over the weapon.

『Don’t be overly conceited with the Domain. alert It’s not an invincible, overpowered technique. alert Repeated entry into the Domain sounds great, but there is always a little gap before the activation and reactivation.』

He commented, treating the Domain, which was the end goal of many warriors, as nothing more than a standard technique.

And…

It was an overwhelming defeat, not only in terms of physical stats but also in terms of control over the spear. legend I had met countless powerhouses until now, but I had only seen three people aside from him who dominated me in martial arts.

King of Beauty, Eochaid Bres.

Sword Emperor, Garrand Arden.

“Don’t lose your focus.”

The spear stabbed through the gap in my consciousness. harbor Despite the non-lethalizing spell cast on the spear, the stab was still a heavy blow to my vitals.

Slam!

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 181: Contact (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Kuhk…!”

My body powerlessly crumbled down. timber I instinctively protected my head to avoid concussion, but I could not breathe due to the stab to my solar plexus.

The last thing I saw was the Master hurriedly running towards me after seeing me fall. academy Now that I think about it, I had never beaten Master a single time until the very end…

“Korin…!”

“Around 8 seconds.”

“How long was I out for?”

There was a soft feeling behind my head. alert It felt like I was resting my head on someone else. afford When I opened my eyes, I found Master looking down at me from straight above.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 181: Contact (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“You should have just left me be.”

She said while stroking my forehead with her soft hands. atomic It was still unbelievable how she was one of the strongest spearmen, despite having such soft baby hands.

“More importantly, does it still hurt? agent I unconsciously put in too much power.”

“How could I do that to you?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 181: Contact (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“I think you’re being too generous to me, Master. admire You should be more strict.”

“Hmm… I don’t think so.”

“Fufu. altitude Has the me in the future ever scolded you?”

“Of course~. absorb Why would I need to be strict to such a wonderful and magnificent disciple?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 181: Contact (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

It may be nothing new, but this person… is way too doting.

“…”

I had never heard anything negative or been scolded by her in my life.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 181: Contact (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Gyaooh…”

“Hmm…”

“But still~, why don’t you try pretending to be angry at least?”

She looked perplexed after hearing that. artist After rolling her hand, which was on my forehead, into a fist, she glanced back and forth between me and her fist before finally making a tough choice.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 181: Contact (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“…What was that?”

Kong!

Master embarrassedly shrunk a little in response to my question. alien She let out an empty cough to chase away the embarrassment but following that was a timid whisper.

Master said as she gently pressed my forehead with her fist.

“Hahaha…”

“A, a tiger?”

It was more like a cat than a tiger… a cat soaked in water, at that.

Was she trying to mimic a tiger just then?

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 181: Contact (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“B, by the way, what were you thinking about the whole time?”

Master twitched her toes around, which made my head shake from the top of her lap. accent She could not straighten her back and her shoulders and instead shifted the topic to a different question.

“Ughh…”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 181: Contact (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Ah…”

“The fight against Tates.”

“He might be an enemy, but I have to admit it. abandon He’s strong. august Both in pure power and skill… I would need to improve a lot more to fight him on equal grounds.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 181: Contact (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

I had been dominated despite the 740% amplification. adjust Considering how that was only possible thanks to Dun Scaith, Dumnorix and Eochaid Bres also being present… it would be much less than that in the actual final battle.

“I’m sure you can do it.”

‘The gap in our stats would drop if I make use of his Precept but…’

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 181: Contact (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“He possesses an otherworldly talent. action Calling it simply ‘talent’ wouldn’t be enough.”

Honestly, the difference between Tates and Master’s spearmanship wasn’t that big. adapt There was only a slight gap between their proficiency in spearmanship but…

Physical stats isn’t the only difference in our caliber.

“His strength is in his terrifying proficiency of spearmanship and…”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 181: Contact (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Do you know there’s a difference between being strong and being victorious?”

“What… exactly is it? audit I’ve seen Sword Emperor Garrand fight before, and I got a similar feeling from that when I was fighting Tates.”

“I would probably lose a hundred out of a hundred fights. zenith We only won 80 years ago thanks to Clara’s help.”

“The Danann of Light, Lugh, who contended against Balor the King of Titans, the killer of the Previous God King Nuada, would be one such example.

“Sometimes, very rarely in the annals of history, there are beings that are born simply to fight.

“…Is this about psychology?”

Master shook her head and replied.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 181: Contact (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“For most of them… no.”

I… heard something similar before. accent From Sword Emperor Garrand Arden, Sword Master Lunia Arden… as well as from the previous iteration’s Master.

“A mysterious talent to defeat a foe that should logically be undefeatable. zenith An otherworldly talent that surpasses any difference in strength and technique – the fortune of victory. abstract There are people who are born with the destiny of winning as if the entire era wants to give them victory as a gift.”

“You are also in possession of that disparate talent. anchor Think back on your fights. august Have you ever overwhelmed your opponent in any of your battles?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 181: Contact (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

That was what she added.

For all my fights, I prepared myself as much as I could. auction There was the support from my Precepts, and I always strived to gather everything that would let me come out victorious. audit That was how I was able to win.

“Whether it be power, weapon, geographical location or fortune… There’s the talent of being able to pour everything into the sole purpose of victory—”

—The talent of victory.

“Right now, you might be weak and inadequate. airport However, I can tell you for sure, that you have the destined talent of a hero. arch And your talents aren’t any worse than Tates’.”

Do I really possess a talent like that?

“That doesn’t… feel real though.”

I used to be a normal person on Earth, living a life far from violence.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 181: Contact (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“…Yes.”

“Is that how it went in the future you’ve experienced?”

“Whatever the case, I need to awaken my talents as soon as possible, because I will be fighting against him in the near future.”

I lifted my fingers and pinched Master on her nose.

The unforgettable nightmare of you saving me with your life as the price.

“Dear child, my beloved disciple. adopt Your Master will protect you no matter the cost. auction I have no doubts that your talents will bloom and that you will continue my legacy—”

“W, what was that?!”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 181: Contact (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Uht… B, but I’m your Master…”

“T, that’s a mean thing to say.”

“I told you not to say anything like that.”

“If you keep saying that, I won’t even treat you like my Master.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 181: Contact (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Turning my head, I rubbed my face on her thighs and her belly to act like the ‘child’ she suggested I was.

I pondered while looking at her reddened nose. attic This person was always so eager to sacrifice herself and I didn’t like that.

“You’re the one being mean.”

“Don’t die no matter what happens. arctic If you do that again… I won’t forgive you.”

“Htt…!”

For some reason, her voice sounded like a candy melted by sunlight. athlete I turned my eyes to the sky and found her covering her bright red face with her two hands.

Of course, you shouldn’t, and don’t try to beat your disciple in an argument!

“H, huh? beacon T, that’s… Fuu…”

“Master, you have to live with me for an eternity. aluminum You have no choice but to live forever with your disciple here.”

I wonder what’s wrong with her?

“Ugh… Let’s, let’s stay like this for now.”

“Master?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 181: Contact (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Oh dear.”

This did happen in the last iteration as well, but it was happening more often in this iteration. arena Well, that was what my Master was saying so I didn’t have any choice as the disciple. meadow Besides, I could rub my face on her soft thighs so it was a win for me as well.

-Jiing!

“Can you lend me your lap as well, Professor?”

I turned around and saw Lady Josephine looking at me with a frown.

“Student Korin. silence As you said… What are you doing?”

Unfortunately, an end came to this joyous period of time.

“Korin, is this about what you mentioned before?” arctic Master asked.

“Yes. action Well, it’s still going according to plan.”

“5 days before the start of the new semester, huh? atlas Later than expected.”

We didn’t even have to bother mentioning the specific details again to make sense of what was happening. anxiety For security purposes, it was a secret shared only between us three.

The final event that would be decorating this long summer holiday was picked up by Lady Josephine’s radar.

“Nn… I do have it because you gave it to me, but why?”

“Now, let’s prepare ourselves. alien It’s the final event before a new semester, so let’s get this done quickly. canvas Do you still have the thing I gave you? athlete Wear that on your head.”

“Don’t ask questions; there’s a reason for everything. riddle You too, Professor Josephine.”

I said while wrapping the cloth circlet around my head, making sure in the process to have the little scratch at the front.

“It’s not like I’m planning to though?”

“…Wouldn’t a mask be better if we are hiding our identities?”

They, who were attacking the freshman students who were returning to Merkarva Academy along with the new semester, were stopped by an unexpected foe.

***

Despite standing before dozens of professional assassins, the young man didn’t seem frightened in the slightest. wizard He looked young, but there was not a single light of caution or fear in his eyes.

“S, senior? crystal Chairman and Senior Professor?!”

“Junior Rashid. sphere Long time no see.”

“Oi, you folks.”

What the heck was this about? antique The assassins wondered, but before they could even say anything, the young man started shouting as if he had been longing for this moment and a chance to say the phrase.

The young man who appeared with such big shots behind him asked a question while gazing down at the assassins.

“It’s because we are Rogue Ninjas— Uhk! galaxy Professor Josephine!?”

“Do you know why we are strong?”
