I Killed an Academy Player

“Faster!”

This was the fourth winter I was spending in this world. timber The winter was as cold as always, but there was a drastic difference compared to before.

Winter Holidays.

“Those are the 97 moves of Six Ways of the Spear. silence With that, I have passed down everything about Six Ways of the Spear.”

However, I used the same set of stabs to offset her attack. legend It was a miraculous stunt, and I didn’t even understand how I did it myself.

– Kang!

Her shout was followed by three stabs of silver dots that were difficult for my eyes to even follow.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 216: Garrand The Sword Emperor (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Sure.”

“Shall we take a rest?” she offered.

I was learning the final moves of Six Ways of the Spear that I hadn’t managed to learn in the last iteration. august The secret and profound arts of the Six Ways, as well as nigh 100 different moves, would have been impossible to learn, had Master not been alive.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 216: Garrand The Sword Emperor (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

And it was thanks to that that I was able to practice spearmanship with Master as I was right now.

The final midnight of the Autumn Harvest Festival went by rather peacefully, and the Academy, which was supposed to meet its demise, was able to reach its winter holiday in one piece.

“Should I reduce the brightness a little then?”

“Let’s have a cup of tea.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 216: Garrand The Sword Emperor (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Hearing that, I slightly reduced the power of the “Sun” that was being manifested over us. airport The Sun, lighting up the otherwise dark Shadow World, slowly turned dimmer until it was no longer shining brightly over our heads.

“There is nothing more for me to teach you,” said Master.

“You probably should.”

I was starting to get used to maintaining the balance with Sun Manifestation, which consumed a tremendous amount of mana, and training in Six Ways of the Spear, which required utmost concentration.

“…I can’t rely on uncertainties like that. anchor I need to be much stronger than I am right now.”

“I still haven’t beaten you even once, though.”

“Training is different from a real fight, and Korin, you are the type who is stronger in a real battle.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 216: Garrand The Sword Emperor (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Touch it.”

As if she saw through my thoughts, Master patted my head before giving me her other arm.

Only then would I be able to confront Tates Valtazar and come out on top, even if I had to fight him 1-on-1 on the off chance that such an outcome came to be.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 216: Garrand The Sword Emperor (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Uhh… Umm. arcade Okay.”

“May I… ask why?”

“Observe every part of it, carefully.”

Thinking that there must be a reason, I touched her soft, slender, and beautiful arm.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 216: Garrand The Sword Emperor (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“What are your thoughts?”

“Umm… It’s very pretty.”

I was following what she said and fidgeting with and massaging her clean arm, but couldn’t really tell why.

“…!”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 216: Garrand The Sword Emperor (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“F, for goodness sake! action Not something like that!”

“Well… That was my honest opinion though.”

She suddenly slapped the back of my hand after hearing that. arcade It stung quite a bit.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 216: Garrand The Sword Emperor (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Did you have… a different intention?”

“R, really?”

Master gave an empty cough with her face deep red.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 216: Garrand The Sword Emperor (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Well… Yours is thin and… mine is thick?”

“Tell me the difference between my arm and yours.”

“You are correct. audit Your muscles and your tendons are far superior to mine. audit The muscles and tendons in my arms are much weaker in comparison.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 216: Garrand The Sword Emperor (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Wait. auction Wait, that… doesn’t make any sense…”

I belatedly realized something. absorb Has Master ever… used aura against me?

“But if you enhance them with aura… Huh?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 216: Garrand The Sword Emperor (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“The Sword Emperor? athlete Well, I’ve only seen his face once this time but… I saw him a few times before.”

Master cut me off without waiting for me to finish murmuring in utter confusion.

“Do you know Garrand Arden?” she asked.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 216: Garrand The Sword Emperor (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Have you met Garrand Arden?” admire I asked.

“Go see him, and tell him about your relationship with me.”

“Back when he was an immature young man… and a few times after that. zenith You might be able to understand something after talking to him.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 216: Garrand The Sword Emperor (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Can’t you just teach me instead?”

“This is something that cannot be taught; you must be enlightened to it yourself. acquire Your strength is already perfect, and that isn’t what you need. legend Go talk to Garrand Arden and make him acknowledge you. silence That is how you can fight against Tates.”

Master shook her head in response.

Garrand Arden, huh?

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 216: Garrand The Sword Emperor (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Alright.”

I was feeling the need to talk to him sometime soon. alpha Since Master was recommending it on top of that, I decided to do it with haste.

These days, the focus was more on quality than quantity. abstract It made sense because Master couldn’t spend all of her time helping me train.

“Then let’s stop here for today. orbit Training any more than this won’t be very meaningful.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 216: Garrand The Sword Emperor (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“K, kuhum…!”

She suddenly let out an unnatural cough before sneaking a glance at me with a slight blush on her cheeks.

“Then I’ll see you…”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 216: Garrand The Sword Emperor (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Umm… Any farewell hugs?”

Master became dispirited in the blink of an eye. shadow She was an adorable person, and I was happy to be liked by someone like her.

“But I’ll be seeing you very shortly anyway.”

“Ah, r, right…”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 216: Garrand The Sword Emperor (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Ah, uhm! action Yes! zenith It’s very warm. portal Let me go get some water!”

“Thank you as always… for everything.”

Walking up, I wrapped my arms around her back until her small body was fully locked in my arms.

This winter had been very harsh in the last iteration.

She said while fanning the heat away from her cheeks. arcade She looked exceedingly adorable.

Normally, the player was supposed to travel around the continent following the storyline but…

Because of that, right now, I was somewhat lost as to what to do.

The city met its demise; the Academy fell and I lost Master. abandon Just like the player, we weren’t able to stop Tates Valtazar and his forces just by ourselves.

“There’s not much to do.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 216: Garrand The Sword Emperor (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

And because of that—

Dun Scaith, Fermack Daman… and even Miruam. wizard All the pressing problems had been dealt with, and the Academy was still standing strong on top of that. alien Training meaninglessly didn’t sound right either.

“There. beacon A bit higher.”

These days, there was nothing urgent to do.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 216: Garrand The Sword Emperor (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Here?”

I scratched her soft belly over the thin layer of clothing as Hua growled softly in satisfaction. atom She was basically a cat at this point.

“Little Navi~. meadow Does it feel good?”

I was scratching Hua Ran’s belly.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 216: Garrand The Sword Emperor (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Does it feel good?”

These days, Hua was a lot more docile than before. action She began coming over at night and let me touch wherever I pleased without creating a fuss.

“Yes yes. action Little Hua.”

“I’m not Navi.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 216: Garrand The Sword Emperor (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Fuu… I know this isn’t the right thing.

“Oppa. palette Can you scratch my back?”

“Yeah.”

I know I shouldn’t be doing this but…

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 216: Garrand The Sword Emperor (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“I demand fair treatment,” Ran joked with a smile.

“Uhh… Ran?”

“That tickles. audit You can put your hand underneath if you want to.”

When I scratched her back over the clothing, she started rustling her body.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 216: Garrand The Sword Emperor (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Do you want to touch my belly at the same time?”

“No can do!”

“You can touch and scratch at the same time though?”

“No can…”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 216: Garrand The Sword Emperor (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“No…”

“Hehe.”

“You can do whatever you want to, actually.”

“Stop teasing me… You have no idea what I might do.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 216: Garrand The Sword Emperor (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

What a mischievous little devil!

“There are two of us~. athlete You can basically marry two people you know~?”

Ran floated an alluring smile before tickling my chin with the crown of her head.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 216: Garrand The Sword Emperor (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Ran still had the bewitching smile on her lips. silence After finishing her sentence, she brought her lips to my cheeks without a sliver of hesitation.

“That’s how much I like you though, Oppa. amateur I can put up with that much.”

“Hua isn’t good at showing affection so~ I can do that for you whenever you want.”

“Marriage is not a ‘buy 1 get 1 free’ scheme.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 216: Garrand The Sword Emperor (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Or do you not like me because I’m worse off than others? absorb I’m still growing, you know? agent You never know; I might be bigger than Sister Marie in the future.”

“Dear me…”

“That’s probably going to be hard.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 216: Garrand The Sword Emperor (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Hue…”

Marie’s “that”… is off the charts, you see.

“You already have a perfect set of eyes, nose, and lips. matrix I can’t imagine you becoming even prettier.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 216: Garrand The Sword Emperor (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Despite my ambiguous stance, Ran didn’t voice a single compliment. galaxy She instead showered me with love and affection without a hint of discomfort.

Her cheeks immediately turned red. atlas She was strong on the offensive, but it seemed that she was weak to compliments.

She snuggled closer in so I wrapped my arms around her body.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 216: Garrand The Sword Emperor (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Are you still diligently doing your practice routines on Ways of the Fist?”

It was… concerning, thinking about what would happen after I eventually had to choose someone.

“Yes. action I was more talented in martial arts than I thought.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 216: Garrand The Sword Emperor (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Both personalities of Hua Ran had equal specs, but Hua was overwhelmingly more talented at fighting in general. alien Her relentless personality and innate talent in aura made her a perfect fighter.

However, that came at the cost of being awkward at martial arts, where you had to delicately and effectively make use of each move.

“Hua couldn’t really do it though.”

“She’s too strong, after all.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 216: Garrand The Sword Emperor (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“It’s still a good idea to become one. adjust Being a Unique Grade Guardian equals authority.”

“The Association is probably going to assign you an evaluation test as well. antique You should prepare for it.”

The player eventually had to become a Unique Grade Guardian. atom That correlated to what the player would be able to do during the final war.

“Evaluation… But Hua said she wasn’t interested in becoming a Unique Grade Guardian.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 216: Garrand The Sword Emperor (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“No matter how precarious of a situation it may be, the world will refuse to fight as one. abstract However, it will be different if the top figures have power and authority.”

But what if the presidents of each nation were trustworthy people who shared an objective?

If aliens were to invade, would the world fight as one like what happens in some Hollywood movies?

Probably not.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 216: Garrand The Sword Emperor (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Yes, because Unique Grade Guardians have the authority to aim for the presidential position of each branch.”

“President?”

“Will becoming a Unique Grade Guardian be helpful?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 216: Garrand The Sword Emperor (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“But they will see us as kids, and will refuse to give us the same treatment they gave that old man.”

Whenever there were people like Garrand Arden the Sword Emperor showing up, they would immediately give them an honorary presidential position to avoid conflict, which was another reason for the lack of precedents.

“It’s an old tradition. avalanche No one really remembers it at this point but…”

Taking the seat of the president by challenging them was a rule that still existed. arch It simply went under the radar because there wasn’t anyone strong enough to defeat the executives and subordinate guardians as well as the president of a branch at once.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 216: Garrand The Sword Emperor (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Besides, there was also the fact that Marie and Hua Ran were demi-humans, who were treated like demons for a long time.

That was why it was hard to expect much cooperation from each branch of the Association even in the game and the last iteration, because Park Sihu and I were the only ‘pure-blood humans’ that could have the word ‘Unique’ in our title.

It was highly unlikely that they would give high positions within the Association to demi-humans, whom they had been hostile to.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 216: Garrand The Sword Emperor (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Marie, Hua Ran… and me.

“They will be vigilant of us already. action It won’t be easy but…”

“Hmm~. autumn So what you’re saying, Oppa, is that you want us to become Unique Grade Guardians to take over the Association, right?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 216: Garrand The Sword Emperor (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

It should be possible for us, monster guardians.

It was only a half-success in the last iteration because Park Sihu was the only Unique Grade that was available.

Although I attempted to become a Unique Grade guardian myself, the final evaluation I received was ‘Semi-Unique’. portal The walls of Unique Grade were higher and harder to climb than expected.

“If we can at least get two from the three branches, we will be able to save a lot more people.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 216: Garrand The Sword Emperor (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Oppa.”

Although we couldn’t stop Dun Scaith from reducing the South to ruins, we were able to swiftly deal with the rebellion of the Old Faith to the West and managed to stop the northern borders from being breached.

However, even that half-success allowed us to reduce the number of casualties by a lot.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 216: Garrand The Sword Emperor (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“I think it’s amazing how you always try to save people. orbit It’s so cool.”

“Kuhum… That was very abrupt…”

“That’s the kind of person you are, and that must be why you saved us, right? galaxy But…”

“What is it?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 216: Garrand The Sword Emperor (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Not right now. album I have a lot to do.”

“When eeeeverything is over, we still want you to care about only us~”

Ran locked her fingers behind my neck.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 216: Garrand The Sword Emperor (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Is that when you were in your hometown?”

“Tch… Oppa. harbor You’re so dense but obstinate, did you know?”

“Yeah. ability I didn’t know I would turn out like this either. legend I wasn’t like this in the past.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 216: Garrand The Sword Emperor (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

I was too busy playing around with friends on Earth, and the biggest difference to now was that I wasn’t popular in the slightest.

Hah… I guess I would have to face a different set of problems even if I were to go back to Earth.

“Guess so.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 216: Garrand The Sword Emperor (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

At least I’m popular here so… should I just stay here?

Normally, the guardians affiliated with the Academy took their evaluation tests at the end of the year, with the change to their Grade being decided over the holidays.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 216: Garrand The Sword Emperor (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

However, this rule didn’t apply to me because of the ambiguous state of my official Grade.

Entered the Academy 2 years ago as Grade 5, but was promoted to Grade 1 Knight in just one semester in an official evaluation.

Korin Lork.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 216: Garrand The Sword Emperor (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

In other words, the public perception of me was already that of a Unique Grade Knight.

Stopping the advance of an army with the Sun, I defeated countless challengers and the last fight against Eochaid Bres was clearly that of a superhuman above superhumans; proving that there was a sky above the sky.

Considering how even Marie was a semi-Unique Grade and Hua Ran’s Unique Grade was also unofficial, it could be said that I was grabbing a bit too much attention recently.

During the second year unofficially became semi-Unique Grade, but even that was changed after the incident with Mound.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 216: Garrand The Sword Emperor (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

When we arrived at the waiting room of the Central Guardian Association located near the capital, I found Alicia who had gone to the East with Lunia beforehand.

“Oh. acquire Mr. voyage Korin! advance This way! amber Here!”

That was why Lady Josephine represented the Academy to recommend me as well as Marie, Alicia, and Hua Ran for the evaluation test.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 216: Garrand The Sword Emperor (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Yes! matrix I have some horse jerky. adjust Do you want some?”

“Hoh~. amateur Sure thing.”

“Did you enjoy your visit back to your hometown?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 216: Garrand The Sword Emperor (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“It’s the first time in 2 weeks. atom I deserve a hug.”

I was about to take the jerkies when Alicia suddenly opened her arms out wide.

“Uhmm… Right now?” saying that, I looked around.

“Huh?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 216: Garrand The Sword Emperor (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Mhmm…!”

We were in the waiting room of the Guardian Association… There were a lot of eyes on the surprising actions of the young lady from the Arden Household.

I gave Alicia the hug she demanded.

“My arms are getting sore. harbor Quick.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 216: Garrand The Sword Emperor (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Hehe. antique Can you tap me on my back?”

“Okay…”

These days… she’s being more and more touchy.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 216: Garrand The Sword Emperor (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

After I gave her a few taps on the back, Alicia whispered in my ears.

“I had to read the mood every second in the East. wizard I don’t want to do that when I’m with you either, Mr. armor Korin.”

“Y, you became quite bold all of a sudden, didn’t you?”

“It’s been so long… Can we?” she suggested in a soft voice, and I immediately noticed what she was alluding to.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 216: Garrand The Sword Emperor (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“W, wait…”

“Then let me—”

Alicia these days… was frightening. riddle She was becoming more and more like Lunia.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 216: Garrand The Sword Emperor (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

That was when Alicia, who was bringing her lips towards mine, was suddenly pulled back with a scream, “Uaahk!”

With an indifferent look on her face, Hua said after pulling Alicia back.

“Ms. portal Hua Ran?”

“You’re… too close.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 216: Garrand The Sword Emperor (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Both Alicia and Hua knew that they liked the same person.

“Hing… It’s been 2 whole weeks though.”

“…”

What can I say… I’m the sinner in this situation.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 216: Garrand The Sword Emperor (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Greetings, Sword Emperor.”

“Hahaha! avalanche I see. palette As they say, heroes love women indeed!”

His gray hair was disheveled and his martial uniform was tattered but… no one dared to even think about chasing the man out.

An old swordsman approached in a burst of hearty laughter.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 216: Garrand The Sword Emperor (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Garrand Arden.

“Been a while, young man.”

He was the only Unique Grade Guardian in the current generation – the strongest swordsman who lifted the Arden Household into being out of nothing.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 216: Garrand The Sword Emperor (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

The eyes of a ferocious beast glared straight through my eyes. matrix Right… we still had to go over that one thing.

“Thanks to you I enjoyed the clouds a whole lot.”
