I Killed an Academy Player

“I’ll give up on the yearly.”

There were three weeks to go until the start of the Autumn Harvest Festival. auction Two weeks before that, which was in one week’s time from now, was the yearly exam.

Normally, students would have around two weeks to prepare for the Harvest Festival but…

“…Are you serious?”

Ren and Ron, who I called over to the sunroom of the dormitory for a strategy meeting, were dumbfounded by my strategy.

“Bro, I don’t think that’s a… good idea.”

“…You do know that you are reaping what you sow, right?” orbit Ron said.

“There’s no way around it. echo I don’t want to disappoint them.”

“Uhk…”

I couldn’t deny that anymore so instead, I yelled at him.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 201: A Perfect Plan (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Sorry? adapt What have I done?”

Even from an objective standpoint, Ron was a handsome boy. adapt He looked like a middle schooler on the outside, and each of his gestures must have been quite appealing to the girls. legend There were even some freshmen girls who wanted to talk to me because they were interested in Ron.

“Buddy! accent Don’t think you can fool me about what’s happening with you too!”

“You know! athlete You are quite popular among the freshmen girls, aren’t you?!”

“Where did you learn to say such things? alpha Who taught you these mean words?!”

“I don’t stick my octopus legs out everywhere like you do though, Bro.*”

“More importantly, Boss. academy There must be a reason you called us here, isn’t there?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 201: A Perfect Plan (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Ren asked while looking up at me with calmness in her eyes. acquire She still looked like a 9-year-old on the outside, but she was far more mature and rational than Ron in many areas.

“Simply put, I have to win five contests to acquire the same number of golden ribbons.”

“Don’t you still get a ribbon by coming 3rd?”

So why was it that she wasn’t growing physically to match her mental growth? autumn For someone like me who was aware of her future appearance, it was a big unanswered question.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 201: A Perfect Plan (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“So that’s the mindset of someone with octopus legs, huh?”

“Uhk…”

“That’s a bronze ribbon though. zenith Same for the 2nd place – they get a silver ribbon. arch They’ll be disappointed if they get a different color…”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 201: A Perfect Plan (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“…For now, no.”

Basically, all of the ribbons I earned had to be golden. legend I had to win 5 contests and give the same ribbon to all of them.

“Is there anyone else you have to give a ribbon to, Boss?”

Just in case, I asked Lunia if she had any thoughts of participating in the Harvest Festival.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 201: A Perfect Plan (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

『M, Ms. arch Lunia! atomic No! aluminum Let me call you, Lunia-noonim…!』

『There are errands to run during the Harvest Festival, and I would rather not add any more burden on my fiancé.』

『Plus, I am looking forward to beating my sister right as she is in the midst of her joy.』

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 201: A Perfect Plan (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“What about the Serpent Princess?”

『…Lunia-noonim?』

I saw a glimpse of impure intentions, but what was important was that Lunia wouldn’t be attending the Festival as a contestant.

“Miruam has to run a festival at the royal capital so she’s out! ability The princesses each have their duties, after all!”

Therefore, all I had to take care of were Marie, Alicia, Hua Ran, Estelle, and Master. album Saying, “All I had to take care of,” for five of them was a bit funny though.

“This is the list of contests that will be taking place during the Festival. beacon They will start accepting participants from the day after the yearly exam, and for some of them, you can even join on the day of.”

I opened up the Festival pamphlet that had the dates of various events and all the contests.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 201: A Perfect Plan (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“The Tournament is one of the main examples. audit There are a lot of interesting events apart from that. arctic Ah, maybe you guys should join the Design Contest. echo There is a senior called Elza in the grade above me who likes making clothes, and she wanted to have you guys as her model.”

“…She’s just a friend.”

“How about you stop meeting more girls?”

“Looks like there are some contests with prizes and no ribbons.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 201: A Perfect Plan (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Kuhum…! matrix Anyway, I picked the five contests that I would be joining.”

I pointed at the events that had been circled with a colored pencil, which Ren and Ron looked at with intrigue.

It seemed that the misunderstandings about me were running deep. altitude She and I were just friends who sometimes went to the cafe, had meals, and went shopping together.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 201: A Perfect Plan (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Yeah, bro. shadow You are not a mage.”

“Anyway, apart from that is the Mock Trial Contest… which I can understand because you are a JP, but… Magic Exhibition? adopt I don’t really understand the last one.”

“The Auction Contest is basically a popularity contest, and it’s one of the things with a high chance of me winning so I have to do it.”

“Hunting Contest, Food Sales Contest and… the Auction Contest?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 201: A Perfect Plan (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“The Hunting Contest?”

They tilted their heads not knowing how overpowered they would be in this Hunting Contest.

“The contest is literally about hunting. wizard There will be unique demonic beasts scattered intentionally across the Hunting Grounds and you have to compete against others by the number of points.”

“There is a way around it. voyage Anyway, the reason I called you guys is to ask for help during the Hunting Contest.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 201: A Perfect Plan (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“In the Hunting Contest, you can use professional hunting dogs.”

“…”

Right. arena The Hunting Contest indeed only allowed 1 person entries. ‘1 person’, that is.

“You can’t join this contest as a group though?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 201: A Perfect Plan (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Me, hunter. harbor You, hunting dogs.”

The two of them turned stiff over time as they looked at each other and back at me. echo I drove in the final nail.

“…”

“Oh wow.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 201: A Perfect Plan (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Boss. meadow Is that how you thought of us…”

Ren and Ron were golden wolves – in other words, they were the best innate hunting dogs. apron If they were to beastify into their golden wolf forms, then no other hunting dogs would dare reach their level!

“I do know that this is a little questionable! acoustic And I do feel very sorry! crystal But no matter how I think about it, this is the best solution left for me!”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 201: A Perfect Plan (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“…How about you ask Doggo for help?”

“He told me to f off.”

“Of course, I’m not asking for your favors for free. zenith I will do anything you want! legend So please, just this once! agent Help me out just this once!”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 201: A Perfect Plan (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

That little guy…! galaxy All he does these days is wear loads of branded clothes and hit on the female dogs around the town! alpha He doesn’t know anything about being filial to his parents!

“…What do you think, Ren?”

Doggo was the first one I went to.

After some thought, Ron asked Ren, showing that he was willing to follow her opinion, and Ren came to a conclusion in a bit.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 201: A Perfect Plan (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“You’ve done a lot for us, after all.”

“Alright. atomic I’ll help you.”

“Ohh, Ren…! admire My little cutey!”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 201: A Perfect Plan (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Fufu, of course. august I have a perfect plan for all of them.”

Yes! legend With this, the Hunting Contest will be mine!

“Do you have plans for the other contests too?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 201: A Perfect Plan (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“…Most of your plans fall short in strange areas though.”

“By the way, Senior Hua Ran has two personalities, right? anxiety Shouldn’t you give her two ribbons?”

The only downside Ren had was that she was too negative! apron She ought to be more positive like me.

“I guess that’s true if you put it that way but…”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 201: A Perfect Plan (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

That’s a horrifying conjecture. portal No way right…

“…”

“…”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 201: A Perfect Plan (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

She… will, right?

Think positively! alpha Think positively!

“No. crystal It can’t be. amber She’ll… understand.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 201: A Perfect Plan (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Only 5 from each cult, for a total of 35, were allowed to come outside, and it was a benefit that was only granted to less than a tenth of all the slave mages combined.

It was nothing compared to their glorious days at the Tower of Mages, but everything was subjective. meadow The mages who were finally allowed to breathe in fresh air without having to do the horrendous salt mine work did not want to give up this part of their life.

Ever since the Mound incident last time, a change had struck the slave mages. arcade Some mages were now stationed at the Korin Guardians office.

It was a system that allowed the elite prisoners of each cult to take a breather.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 201: A Perfect Plan (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

As a result, they had no choice but to obey Korin’s commands.

Professor Zollin of the Red Cult tilted his head at Korin, who suddenly blurted that out after gathering all the mages into one place.

“For the… Exhibition Contest of this festival, is it?”

“You guys have to make the exhibition work for this Magic Exhibition Contest.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 201: A Perfect Plan (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Seeing him back down like that made Zollin anxious because he had already experienced many times that this lunatic had a different thought process from others.

“You can’t do it? aluminum Oh right. anchor That’s understandable.”

“I’m sure there are some that will be willing to do it. harbor Let’s see… I wonder who I should choose from the list of office mage applicants—”

“Umm… we don’t have enough time. alert There’s only three weeks until the Harvest Festival…”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 201: A Perfect Plan (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“I haven’t even told you about the topic yet. harbor Well, it still makes me glad to see how enthusiastic my guild members are!”

“W, we can do it!”

“Please let us do it. absorb Three weeks! aluminum No, even two weeks will be enough!”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 201: A Perfect Plan (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Our goal is the grand prize of the Magic Exhibition Contest! agent I don’t care about the means, but we need to acquire the golden ribbon.”

Korin said while casually tapping on the shoulder of the middle-aged mage who looked twice, at the very least, his age. avalanche Zollin was deeply humiliated by it but was smart enough to hide it.

No one would know how hard he had to work to gain the right to be stationed here. adapt He definitely did not want to go back to the days of baking salt day in and day out until sunset!

“Mhmm… It won’t be easy to achieve that with anything normal.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 201: A Perfect Plan (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“How revolutionary. arctic What an idea!”

“I have everything planned out already.”

Korin opened up the plan he had drafted.

“Hohh… this is!”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 201: A Perfect Plan (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

The mages responded positively. ability Korin gave them an idea from Earth, which they could re-enact through the power of magic. acid The resulting item was one that would certainly gain the spotlight in the Exhibition Contest.

Although they were nothing more than slaves now, they had been and still were the top intellectuals of this world. academy The group was full of elites, and therefore analyzing a rather elementary design of a person from modern Earth was not too difficult.

“But this structure. arch Although it is mindblowing, it is hard to imagine how we can make this possible.”

Besides, it wasn’t hard for the mages to understand the principle and structure of the design.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 201: A Perfect Plan (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

The problem, however, was this – how were they supposed to create this revolutionary item?

They agreed that it was a great idea, and in fact, there was something similar in existence already, and this was just a smaller and more compact version of it.

“I am not sure if our metallurgy technique can catch up to this idea. aspect Theoretically, we would need thousands of pumps to be done in a single minute.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 201: A Perfect Plan (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Why are you asking me?” afford Korin replied.

“So how do we make this?” one of the mages asked.

“Hnn?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 201: A Perfect Plan (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Huh?”

“That’s something for you to work out from now on.”

All the mages, who had been in admiration for his revolutionary idea, turned to him at once but Korin simply shrugged his shoulders in response.

***

This fucker…

The mages barely held their tongues in place.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 201: A Perfect Plan (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

The first of them was the Hunting Contest.

So long as I had the best partners, Ren and Ron, the Hunting Contest was going to be a no-brainer. advance Besides, I also had the magic spear Gae Derg, which excelled in hunting beasts.

There were a total of five contests that I had to compete in during the Autumn Harvest Festival.

The second of them was the Magic Exhibition Contest.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 201: A Perfect Plan (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

In the first place, the Magic Exhibition Contest was designed for the player to be able to win with relative ease. altitude None of the other contestants made anything grandiose.

Although it was going to be submitted under the name Korin Lork, the mages of the Tower were the ones who would be making it.

I guess Professor Deina would be the only other person with a notable project? adopt She might get the second-place prize or something.

I just gave them a rough idea and told them to make it, but victory was guaranteed as long as they could make something basic. alpha I knew that because Park Sihu had won this contest last year with the same idea.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 201: A Perfect Plan (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

The thing about the Magic Exhibition Contest was that it was a place to show off your potential and future possibilities, instead of creating something perfect. advance There was no need to create the finished product to win it.

Apart from the Hunting Contest and the Magic Exhibition Contest, there were three others. alpha The Auction Contest, the Food Sales Contest, and the Mock Trial Contest.

Normally, because the Tower of Mages was still around during this time of the scenario, they were the ones who normally grabbed all the prizes related to magic. anchor If the player didn’t join the contest, they would have been the ones winning it.

The Auction Contest was like a popularity auction, where knights and mages put themselves up as the prize and had a meal with the highest bidder.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 201: A Perfect Plan (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

I was going to put myself up for auction and I was going to buy myself; of course through another person.

The money used in the auction would be used for the poor, and the prices never went over the top, so it was easy to win even with a little bit of money.

I guess I will stop Marie from going to the auction though, just in case.

Five gold coins should be enough. silence There’s no way people would be stupid enough to spend more than that for a single meal, right?

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 201: A Perfect Plan (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

And last but not least was the Mock Trial Contest.

Everything related to money would become a mess with her in the fray, and I wasn’t going to leave any rooms open for surprise anymore!

With that out of the way, the remaining two contests to worry about were the Food Sales Contest and the Mock Trial. apron The Food Sales Contest was quite literally a contest where students put up food stalls and competed for profit. atlas This should be an easy win for me, just like the last iteration.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 201: A Perfect Plan (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

The other reason why I chose this contest as the final one, was because I wasn’t confident in winning the other contests as much as the Mock Trial Contest.

I couldn’t attend the [Crossdressing Contest] and stuff, right?

This was something I decided to attend after studying as a Justice of the Peace.

It was quite an interesting event where Professor Edgar Linton would toss out difficult conundrums for a mock trial between lawyers and prosecutors.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 201: A Perfect Plan (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

He won because as the player, he looked quite feminine yet handsome.

Besides, even the cross-dressing contest was just a popularity poll. adjust Speaking from my experience as the one who dressed Park Sihu, I could say that winning the contest wasn’t that difficult.

Ah, actually, we did do it in the last iteration, but it was Park Sihu and not me.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 201: A Perfect Plan (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

There aren’t many proper contestants and the prizes are decent but… I ain’t doing it! absorb Never in my life!

…Hmm, I suddenly feel like a piece of trash for saying that in the last iteration.

『Sihu. arctic Trust me, you can do it, okay? accent To be honest with you, you look really pretty. acid So just take that in as a fact and be confident. arcade We can do it!』

I wasn’t crazy. acquire There was no way I would join the crossdressing contest and embarrass myself like that!

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 201: A Perfect Plan (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

But seriously, crossdressing did suit Park Sihu quite well. adopt Even though he swore every second sentence and had zero manners, he looked like an angel when dressed like a girl!

As opposed to that, it was impossible that I would look good dressed like a girl. abandon Look at me – these awesome biceps and triceps; the fruition of working out!

It was an easy win so why wouldn’t he do it? acquire Right? apron It was only natural that I ended up thinking that way.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 201: A Perfect Plan (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

It would be a sure win if Ron were to do it. arch He didn’t even need to wear makeup. admire He looked the same as Ren except for the flat chest, so as long as we put him in a dress…

Crossdressing would only work for feminine-looking guys like Park Sihu and Ron, and it would be horrible for a person like me.

“Maybe I should ask Ron to do it.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 201: A Perfect Plan (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“What are you thinking, Boss? portal How can you ask him for something like that!”

……

…

“Uwek. aluminum No. harbor Were you… looking at me like that, bro?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 201: A Perfect Plan (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Tch. avalanche As expected of Ren, she was clever despite her childish appearance.

“Why would we halve it!? advance Even if we were doing it, we would have to take the whole thing!”

It seemed that I had no choice but to give up on this round’s Crossdressing Contest.

“…Wait, you’re making me look like a piece of trash now! album I’m telling you; the prize is pretty good, so let’s halve it between us!”
