I Killed an Academy Player

Germain was anxious.

These past few days, Germain was in deep agony. action It was because Melina, his peer that he was fond of, had a date planned with Korin.

He was the one who spent a lot more time with her, so why?

‘Why… Why is she okay with Big Bro Korin, and not me?’

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 197: Love Consultation (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Who was Korin? amateur He was the most popular knight and player of the Academy with countless ladies surrounding him.

But putting aside Korin, what about Melina? isn’t it pointless if Melina was interested in Korin?

‘No. voyage No. arrow Big Bro Korin knows that I like Melina. amateur There’s no way he would betray me…’

What if Melina is interested in him?

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 197: Love Consultation (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Despite being a future priest of the Xeruem Order and a spy, Germain was just a seventeen-year-old boy. aspect Unable to keep it to himself, he immediately went looking for Melina.

“What is it, Germain?”

“Umm, on Friday, by the way… are you doing something with Big Bro Korin?”

“Melina…”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 197: Love Consultation (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Like… I, I just heard it by accident. arena Umm… Why?”

“Yeah. arch How do you know that?”

Melina smiled before giving a clap as if she found Germain cute.

“Are you asking why I agreed to his offer and not yours?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 197: Love Consultation (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Huh? palette Comfortable?”

“Well, because it’s comfortable.”

“Y, yeah…”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 197: Love Consultation (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

She replied before he could continue with his questions.

T, then what about me?

“He doesn’t have any ulterior motives in mind. academy I can tell he isn’t hiding anything.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 197: Love Consultation (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Yes yes. galaxy Of course, of course.”

Melina sneered in response, evidently laughing at him.

“T, that’s the same for me too!”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 197: Love Consultation (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

It was widely said that girls were mentally more mature than boys at a young age. amber The restless Germain and Melina teasing him were arguably a piece of evidence supporting that statement.

…

“I, I’m serious!”

……

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 197: Love Consultation (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“My friends had a thing for fashion. timber And they always became sulky whenever I didn’t notice they were dressed up.”

“Wow~. alpha You have amazing eyes!”

“Senior! action Did you have to wait a lot?”

“Yeah, nice clothes. adopt It’s a great match with your straw hat.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 197: Love Consultation (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

***

Of course, there were always exceptions to that statement.

Asking Melina out on a meal was to show an example, but I had to keep my word. adopt We went to the hair salon together and asked for some advice that only girls could help me with.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 197: Love Consultation (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Hmm~ probably. legend If it’s you, Senior Korin who’s collecting all the beautiful girls of the Academy, I would assume so.”

During the meal, I was planning on making her have a favorable opinion of Germain but she brought up that topic first.

“Actually, the reason I agreed to have a meal together is because I had something to consult about.”

“What is it? beacon Is it something I can help you with?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 197: Love Consultation (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“It’s about Germain.”

“So what is it about?”

“What’s wrong with everyone’s evaluation of me…”

Why are they all misunderstanding me so much?

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 197: Love Consultation (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Is this… a coincidence or fate?

“I actually like Germain, and I’m even thinking that maybe I should go out with him.”

Melina grinned before picking up a spoon to cut the caramel custard, which we were having as dessert.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 197: Love Consultation (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

She swirled the custard around with a mean look on her face.

“Hahat~”

“Germain had a similar thing in mind.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 197: Love Consultation (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“But that could be considered a quality, right?”

“Of course, I know that already. zenith He makes it so obvious, but he’s quite cute so I’m pretending I don’t know it.”

“What a nasty attitude.”

I thought she was just a young junior, but she was a lot more mature than I thought. crystal In any case, the content of her consultation was rather simple.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 197: Love Consultation (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

She was right – even though there were elements of the modern world mixed into the world, the foundation was based on the late Middle Ages. legend Machismo wasn’t considered machismo and was instead an obvious virtue of a male. accent The same went for females.

“Yes. alert Confessing first as a girl is a bit… weird, right?”

“So you are willing to accept it if he asks you out first. acid Is that correct?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 197: Love Consultation (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“What’s wrong all of a sudden?”

In other words, there was a slight tendency to consider girls who approached men first as being immoral.

“Knn…”

“No. altitude I was just thinking that I might have been a bit mean to the girls.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 197: Love Consultation (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

As for me though, they all approached and confessed to me first. anxiety Marie, Alicia, Hua, and Ran… it was an element that I didn’t take into account due to being in the mindset of a modern world person.

“Really? echo Is it that bad?”

“There are so many possible things you could be thinking about, that I don’t know what to say.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 197: Love Consultation (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Simply put, she was asking me for advice because I had the experience of hitting on multiple girls here and there.

“Yes. album That’s why I am consulting you in the first place, Senior.”

“Yes.”

“So what you want is for Germain to confess to you first, right?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 197: Love Consultation (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Alright. auction I’ll tell him to be a bit more proactive.”

“Hold up.”

“Yes~! orbit Thank you, Senior! arrow Thanks for the meal as well!”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 197: Love Consultation (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“What~? afford Come on~ Mr. arctic Senior~”

A girl asking for a favor like this might work on everyone else both in this world and on Earth, but not on me.

“You have to buy the meal today because I listened to your worries.”

I stopped Melina in the middle of her thanks.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 197: Love Consultation (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Consider this as my labor cost. antenna You are paying for the meal.”

“Ehem! antenna Ms. amateur Mel, don’t be like this. galaxy This won’t work in this time and age.”

“Uht…”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 197: Love Consultation (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“You are too young for a date, lass. admire We’re just playing around and having a meal.”

“This is not a date though.”

“Tch… You’re so cold.”

“But I’ll buy you coffee.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 197: Love Consultation (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Thank you too. voyage And please don’t forget my request.”

The sun was starting to set.

“Wow… So that’s the mindset huh~”

“I’ll take you to your dormitory. sphere And thanks for helping out with my shopping today.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 197: Love Consultation (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Melina and Korin were pretty much on a date, and it was driving him crazy.

Germain was restless for the entire day.

***

Making Germain take the action was going to take some work.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 197: Love Consultation (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

The plentiful imaginative powers of a teenager acted as poison.

Objectively speaking, Korin Lork was an attractive person. august He had a wild-looking appearance and a great personality. avalanche The only downside was his rather messy relationship with girls, but there were so many who were willing to stay with him despite that drawback.

He was a fabulous senior, even in the eyes of a teenage boy, but it was a different story if that senior was going on a date with the person he liked.

『Senior… I actually, for a very long time…』

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 197: Love Consultation (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Fuu… Are they not here yet?”

“Ahhhk…!”

That was also what kept him waiting for five hours straight in front of the dormitory. abstract The night breeze was hitting cold, but he was still waiting for Korin and Melina to come back from the city.

He was a faithful believer and a spy of the Old Faith but was nonetheless a seventeen-year-old young boy.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 197: Love Consultation (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

The two of them were looking at each other with an evidently friendly smile and were chatting while walking toward the dormitory. acid In their hands were a bunch of shopping bags.

Korin and Melina.

His wait was not in vain, and Germain spotted the two of them walking together from a distance.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 197: Love Consultation (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

…But what if he did?

Germain suddenly remembered all the rumors about him.

Really? silence No, there’s no way Melina would… well she could, but there’s no way Big Bro Korin would do such a thing. amateur He knows… He knows I like Melina so he wouldn’t…

‘Why… Why are they so close to each other?’

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 197: Love Consultation (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

ED Min Note: Remember this, it’ll come back up later.[/mfn]

There was even news of people spotting him with Professor Deina, Professor Lulara, Senior Professor Josephine, and Chairman Erin Danua around the campus. atomic In the city, he was even seen going around with Sword Master Lunia.

No one denied the fact that he was a nice person, but he was at the same time a shameless person when it came to relationships, who reached out his octopus legs at a bunch of girls.[mfn]TL Note: Two-timing in Korean is called two-legs; three-timing is three-legs and so on. legend Therefore, a person sticking out legs like an octopus implies they’re hitting on a lot of people (because octopuses have 8 legs)

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 197: Love Consultation (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

He was the most alpha man out there, with such a wide spectrum of followers, that even a few male students were interested in him.

“Huh? adapt Germain?”

‘No. ability I, I trust Big Bro Korin.’

It was weird coming from a spy roaming around Korin for information. absorb Despite knowing that himself, he still trusted Korin Lork’s personality and the sincerity of his attitude.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 197: Love Consultation (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Senior?”

The two of them stopped after noticing Germain in front of the dormitory. canvas Melina and Korin glanced at each other before turning to Germain and realized from the look on his face that he was having a misunderstanding.

Even though the usual approach would be to explain the misunderstanding… Korin pulled Melina by the shoulder towards himself instead.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 197: Love Consultation (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

It was because he was worried about having Melina taken away… but he naturally couldn’t say that.

‘Why is he touching Melina’s shoulder like that!? admire Even though I haven’t even done that yet!’

“Germain. legend What are you doing here?”

“Ah. afford U, uhh…”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 197: Love Consultation (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Do you have something to talk to Melina about? attic Melina. artist Go have a chat with him.”

Germain was deeply frustrated but couldn’t do anything apart from throwing glances at Melina and Korin.

“Ah, yes…”

What was with that attitude? aspect It was as if he was giving Melina permission to talk to him!

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 197: Love Consultation (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Are you… by any chance with Sir Senior Korin…”

He was quite displeased by everything but there was nothing he could do. alien He took Melina as far away from Korin as he could and whispered in a soft voice.

“You were… umm, quite late.”

“Y, yeah…”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 197: Love Consultation (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Ah?”

“Senior is very kind, right? arcade He was worried about sending me off alone late at night so we came together.”

Melina flinched from his question but quickly understood what Korin was doing and followed along.

“A, all the way to the female dormitory?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 197: Love Consultation (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“What were you doing here by the way?”

“O, okay…”

“Really? acquire It’s late so you should head back.”

“M, mhmm… I was just passing by.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 197: Love Consultation (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“…”

“Stay safe on your way in, and let’s play together again when we have time.”

She then turned around with a cold flick. academy She hopped her way over to Korin and gave him a bashful smile.

Korin said with an amicable smile while naturally tapping her on the shoulder, and Melina sent him off with a rather shy look on her face.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 197: Love Consultation (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Maybe not yet, but what if she settled her mind completely on their second date? admire It was more than possible for that to happen.

“N, no.”

This was bad.

Melina was about to go to Korin, that man.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 197: Love Consultation (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“M, Melina…! arcade P, please go out with me!”

“Wow… It actually worked. aspect This senior is innately gifted or something.”

He had to make a move before it was too late. arch Germain made up his mind in the span of a single day.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 197: Love Consultation (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“N, nothing! timber Sure! palette Today’s our day 1 then.”

“Hukk! auction R, really?! altitude Thank you! harbor I love you!”

“Huh?”

Watching that unfold from the side were the three 2nd-year seniors.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 197: Love Consultation (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Ohh. acquire Look at him go. altitude Kids these days~”

“…”

“…”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 197: Love Consultation (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Looking at the outcome of Korin’s “Jealousy Invoking Strategy”, Jaeger and Lark shook their heads.

“What’s wrong with his own freaking relationships?”

“He knows very well so…”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 197: Love Consultation (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Recently, Erin was a lot busier than usual.

No one had the answer to that question.

The Harvest Festival was especially an important event that substituted for the ‘Festival’. arrow Actually, it was more correct to say that usually, the Academy wasn’t able to attend the Harvest Festival due to the ‘Festival’, where academies competed against one another.

Even aside from her personal lessons to a few students including Korin, she also had to organize the yearly examination and the Autumn Harvest Festival.

In any case, it was decided that this year, Merkarva Academy would be cooperating with the City to carry out the Harvest Festival in full. acquire This nationwide celebration lasted a whole week so there were many things to be prepared to liven up the mood all the way till the last day.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 197: Love Consultation (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

It was funny. anchor She had lived in this city for more than a century and yet it was her first time hearing such a legend. artist Naturally, such rumors did not exist before, and it was probably an empty rumor considering how teenage girls were the sources of those gossips.

“I want to spend time with Korin~”

‘Recently… Hasn’t there been a rumor that a couple spending the midnight of the last day together would get married? avalanche A 500-year-old legend, huh~?’

But even so…

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 197: Love Consultation (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

The old wooden door creaked open. avalanche It was around a 100-years-old, so it was about time to change it…

“Come in.”

-Knock knock!

Even though it was her saying it, hearing herself say that made her cheeks turn red. wizard Erin questioned if she had been such an open yet childish person the whole time.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 197: Love Consultation (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

She shot out of her seat upon hearing a familiar voice and saw Korin, her favorite disciple.

“Haht?!”

“Master.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 197: Love Consultation (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“I’ve received some good biscuits from Josephine. autumn Let me prepare them along with some tea.”

Erin smiled bashfully at her disciple before opening the drawer of a cupboard.

“Why’re you so surprised?”

“I just happened to be thinking about my dear disciple.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 197: Love Consultation (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“So what brings you here?”

It didn’t take long for her to finish her preparations because she also had a treasure that immediately boiled water.

“Sounds good to me.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 197: Love Consultation (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

While carrying the biscuits and cups of tea over to the table with Erin, Korin glanced at the pile of documents on her desk.

“Weird of you to ask that when I always come here when I have free time.”

“That’s true too. ability Fufu…”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 197: Love Consultation (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Do you want me to help you?”

“Yes. shadow I would love to have another body if possible.”

“It’s the yearly exam followed by the Autumn Festival straight away, right? antique It must be busy for you.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 197: Love Consultation (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“You are also busy. auction And it wouldn’t be right to receive help from a student.”

“H, huh?”

“It would be a win for me since I’ll get to spend more time with Master though.”

Korin shrugged his shoulders.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 197: Love Consultation (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“R, right. apron Yes. sphere Of course. action Kuhum…”

She knew she was being silly, and Erin found herself pathetic to be so shaken by every sentence of her much younger disciple.

“Plus when we finish early, we can spend the time training.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 197: Love Consultation (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Huh? ability How did you kno— Ah.”

“Happy birthday.”

“What is it?”

“Master.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 197: Love Consultation (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

He took out a small box. palette Inside it was a beautiful gold necklace, and he said after picking it up.

“This is my present for you.”

Korin was from the future and had spent time with her there, so it wasn’t strange for him to know when her birthday was.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 197: Love Consultation (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Erin sat modestly with her arms right next to her body. attic Her disciple slowly walked towards her and wrapped the necklace around her neck.

Korin was standing right behind her. august Each of his breath was tickling her ears; his eyes were on her neck and his fingers were scraping past her hair.

“Can I hang it around your neck for you?”

“S, sure.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 197: Love Consultation (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

It had been a very long time since she last received such a gift, and it made her quite timid and embarrassed. atomic That was probably also because the young man behind her was special.

“Haa…”

“All done.”

-Gulp!

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 197: Love Consultation (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“It’s very pretty.”

Erin gently breathed out her nervousness as soon as it was done. portal Then, she gazed down at the gold necklace around her neck.

“Had to get some advice for it.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 197: Love Consultation (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“And also…”

It was an expensive necklace he bought with the help of Melina. admire The reason he asked a girl that he wasn’t close with, was him being as considerate as he could.

“I certainly will.”

“I also prepared a set bracelet and earrings that go with the necklace. zenith Please wear them at the Harvest Festival.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 197: Love Consultation (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“You’re very pretty as always. atlas Master.”

He looked so serious that Erin could not turn her eyes away from him. aluminum Right when her cheeks were about to blossom like warm flowers…

“Nnn?”

Korin hesitated a little out of embarrassment. matrix However, the embarrassment wasn’t big enough for him to swallow the words that he was about to say.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 197: Love Consultation (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“The last day?”

“You know the last day of the Harvest Festival.”

“Y, yes? agent What is it?”

“Oh right. matrix Master.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 197: Love Consultation (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

This was an amazing coincidence, considering how she had just been thinking about the girlish rumor of a couple celebrating the last midnight of the festival getting married.

“M, midnight?!”

“Yes. adapt At midnight on the last day, actually.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 197: Love Consultation (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Uhht!?”

“Can you stay with me that night?”

What a coincidence among coincidences! advance Erin’s hand quivered and created numerous waves on the tea inside her cup.

Embarrassment made her heart race.

Really?

Is it that?
