I Killed an Academy Player

It had been 4 days since our arrival at the border city of Bifrost, and the maintenance was well under way.

“A bit small.”

Thanks to the Sun hovering in the sky, some of the people were even working without a shirt on, which created an interesting sight of people wearing and taking off their jackets on repeat depending on their location.

“I’m sure it’s uncomfortable for everyone, but there’s nothing we can do about it.”

We were inside the training hall used by the Bifrost guards for a conference. zenith Everyone was so close that we could all feel each other’s warmth.

“A, apologies, but this is the biggest building we have in this city.”

It was unavoidable, because there were hundreds of us inside this small building.

“We are going to start investigating what’s beyond the walls. auction Any volunteers?”

“Daesik.”

Everyone looked away slightly in response. arcade It was just as I had expected. altitude Even I would have preferred to stay over in the city instead of spending the night in the snowy mountains.

“Y, yes sir!”

“Ah, yes! athlete Master…!”

Despite being former elites of the Tower of Mages, none of them voiced a complaint even after hearing me treat them like lighters. arcade It seemed Marie was a great teacher.

“Create a group of around 100 battle mages. atlas The weather’s like this so make sure to include the Red Cult folks. armor They have to make the fire for us.”

“Master. timber How are the runes coming along?”

“I am still in the process of engraving them on all the major parts of the wall.”

Yuel the Druid grumbled in response.

“Master and Professor Josephine, please continue with the runes and… Kranel and Yuel? altitude Make sure the Wicker Warrior Upgrade version is ready to depart at any moment.”

“Like. antique You’re… always so oddly enthusiastic whenever it’s about creating golems.”

Ignoring the two’s banter, I continued on with forming the investigation team.

“Is it collaboration work with this person again?”

“…Why?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 227: Northern Walls (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Sorry? amateur Yes! legend I am here, sunbae!”

“Marie-sunbae and Alicia will come with me; Hua Ran will stay behind in the city just in case. arcade As for Dorron and Germain… Germain. arctic Are you there?”

“You group up with Ren and Ron, and you will just be in charge of stand-by.”

A hand shot up from the room of 200 people.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 227: Northern Walls (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Uhh… Sir Korin?”

I chose roughly 500 that would be going with me on the investigation, with all of them being top-tier knights and mages.

That was when Sir Beyon Solberg raised his hand. legend He was technically a normal soldier now, but that was just an official punishment, and he was still here in the conference for reference.

“U, understood.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 227: Northern Walls (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

“What is it, Sir Beyon?”

“It’s like we’re going for a war, right?”

“To my knowledge… I heard the objective was to investigate the change in climate. crystal But this…”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 227: Northern Walls (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Even a conservative estimate of a guardian’s combat prowess was equal to 100 normal soldiers. altitude They were superhumans that normal civilians could never hope to defeat alone.

800 might not be a lot, but what if all 800 were knights and mages.

“No no no. amber What I mean is…”

Immobilizing 800 of such superhumans for a ‘climate investigation’ was a joke that no-one would believe.

“My guild members are aware of it already, but let me explain it so that the guards of the city can brace themselves as well.”

“The climate investigation is just a pretext. arch Our objective is to protect the northern wall and clean up the surroundings, holding on until the arrival of our allied forces under the lead of Her Holiness the Saintess.”

I declared while looking at the small group of officers and Sir Beyon.

[Frost Giant – NASTROND Field War]

, the first battle of the last episode.

The reasons behind that devastating war were the fall of the northern walls, as well as the chaos within the kingdom due to the invading Valkyries and barbarians.

If the winter were to continue like this and the northern walls were to be breached, we would have to see the reincarnation of the Frost Giant.

The prophecy about the ‘era of the wolf’ and ‘beasts of darkness’, which the prophets of the Old Faith had been rambling about, referred to none other than the Ren and Ron siblings… and Miruam’s Snake of Infinity.

‘But there is a very big difference in this iteration.’

Now, the Frost Giant was the only hand that Valtazar had remaining. arcade If we could stop the reincarnation of that mythological demon king before the fact, then…

The three key characters of the prophecy were all on my side and the titan resurrection plan had also failed with the fall of the Tower of Mages.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 227: Northern Walls (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

“A monster wave?”

‘We will be able to go all out without reserve in the battle against Tates Valtazar.’

“There will be a huge monster wave coming. amateur It will be much bigger than what any of you can imagine.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 227: Northern Walls (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Naturally, everyone apart from those that belonged in our guild, found it difficult to believe such a bold claim.

“Where’s the proof…?”

There was a great excuse I could rely on in times like this

“A p, prophecy from the Saintess…”

“Ah…”

“This is a prophecy from Her Holiness Saintess Estelle. arena I am sure you’ve all heard the recent prophecies.”

“From now on, the Investigation Team’s job is to get rid of all the demonic beasts and spirits in our vicinity. agent You’ve been leaving them alone just because they were quiet, right? alpha They will all ride along in the monster wave, so we have to deal with the strong ones ahead of time.”

“Wait, then the Savior of the Sun is…!”

The name value of the Saintess worked wonders as expected. legend In any case, I was done convincing them so now it was my time to give out some orders to my group.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 227: Northern Walls (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

“After that…”

The key to fending off the monster wave would be the Valkyries and the Northern Kingdom tribes that were forced to come down after refusing to follow Tates Valtazar.

“Understood.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 227: Northern Walls (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Well… I guess that’s for me to worry about.’

****

We had to stop them, who broke down the walls even before the arrival of Valtazar’s hordes of monsters.

It’s not like I failed in the last iteration either. acid Those ladies can be persuaded after all.

“Yes.”

After finishing her work, Hua quickly looked for one of the admin officials.

“Are there storks here, you ask?”

The old official had been living here all his life, and was able to return the response that Hua had been wanting to hear.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 227: Northern Walls (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

“…”

“But may I ask why you are asking such a question?”

“Yes. timber There is a habitat of storks nearby. canvas They always come over during Spring, and it’s a fabulous sight.”

She left the office and turned towards the Sun shining down on the city.

“It’s nothing.”

[Hua. anchor This is our chance.]

“…Un. acoustic I know.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 227: Northern Walls (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

– Clank!

Therefore…

However, right now wasn’t the time. arrow Both Hua and Ran were adults – they had been in the social setting for a long time and knew how much it meant to have a baby. sphere In a place as cold as this, they knew they needed to be even more prepared.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 227: Northern Walls (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

“How do you prepare for raising babies?”

In the middle of a meal, Josephine dropped her cutleries in doubt, refusing to believe what her ears had just picked up. echo However, Hua asked the same question with a clear voice.

“W, w, www what did you… say?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 227: Northern Walls (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Huup!”

“Because I need to.”

“W, w, why do you want to know that?”

Josephine clenched on the fork again and rolled her eyes to glance around. album Fortunately, everyone was busy with their city maintenance work and were having different lunch breaks and it was just the two of them.

“Y, you mean…”

Josephine thought her breath was about to come to a stop.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 227: Northern Walls (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Yeah. admire Lots.”

Hua Ran took that question literally.

It wasn’t just once or twice that she had slept on the same bed as Korin, so she replied like it wasn’t a big deal.

“S, Student Hua Ran… Did you… spend the night, with Student Korin?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 227: Northern Walls (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

And Student Korin of all people! orbit Korin Lork! acid The trust Josephine had for him in spite of all the negative rumors had been betrayed!

“Holy…”

She did hear how kids these days had such experiences at an earlier age, but was it really true? apple What has the world come to?!

Josephine saw the sky falling in her eyes.

“Ahh. attic What of Erin then…”

“Hua Ran… Is Ran there as well?”

My poor mother… Josephine found it hard to contain her sorrow, but there was nothing that could be done.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 227: Northern Walls (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Are you two… ready to raise a baby?”

They were both young girls in the prime of their youth. attic There was no way that they could be ready to have kids already…

“…Yeah.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 227: Northern Walls (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

However, Hua returned a resolute response, which conveyed that Ran must have the same resolve as well.

“Fuu…” Josephine sighed. orbit “It feels like just yesterday that you were just a young baby who didn’t know anything about the world…”

“Yes.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 227: Northern Walls (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

“It will be hard. acoustic Having a baby is nothing easy.”

The girl they had brought over from the east had grown up so much in such a short period of time… Josephine lifted her glasses up and gave Hua Ran a tight hug.

“I know.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 227: Northern Walls (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Josephine said after glancing at her belly which was still just as flat, thinking that it was probably only 2~3 weeks in. orbit However, Hua tilted her head and remarked.

“I need to know now.”

“But… there is still plenty of time, so you can take it slow.”

“…”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 227: Northern Walls (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Was she anxious now that she was pregnant? harbor Josephine realized how much of a change bearing a child brings to a person, because it certainly wasn’t usual for this nonchalant girl to be in this much of a hurry.

Josephine took her out to the city.

“Alright. timber Then let us practice for it ahead of time…”

The path of magic was an academic study seeking truth and looking to revolutionize the world. portal As such, the only path for them was forward, as they sought to reach the stars in the sky.

At least that was the misconception many mages had, but as someone praised as an upcoming great mage of the future, Marie Dunareff knew how convenient of a tool magic was.

Actually, the expression, ‘laborer’ wasn’t commonly used to refer to these ‘classy’ people who would feel offended to be called one.

Mages were fundamentally a very high-class laborer.

Even black magic, which people often thought of as evil, could be a great device when used properly, by for example making chimeras that could serve as domestic animals in the farmland.

They could start a fire at a place devoid of embers and combine the molecules in the air to pour out water when the farmlands needed a refresher.

“Chunsik. advance Go light that on fire and Daesik; come here and grow these plants.”

But it was rare to see development in the so-called ‘life-magic’ area, because mages were way too expensive for their services.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 227: Northern Walls (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Mages were nothing but useful tools.

“This water stinks. timber Is this too hard for you guys?”

However, now that the mages of the Tower of Mages had fallen from grace into slaves and their lofty mindsets reduced to a joke…

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 227: Northern Walls (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

“A, apologies, Master!”

“I’m doing it already, Chunsik!”

The mages that used to each represent a cult in the once-sublime Tower of Mages, had fallen so much from grace that they had even lost their names.

“Daesik! orbit Put some herbs in the water!”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 227: Northern Walls (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Oh right. aspect Chunsik, go bake some potatoes.”

“U, understood!”

“Looks good. agent Well done making the hot spring. crystal Go to the city and help the people out now.”

Considering how his routine was having a good bath after sweating buckets at the training room, he was bound to love it.

After ordering around the super-high-class elite mages with just words, Marie looked at the completed hot spring with a smile.

“Fuu~. antique There are some medical herbs good for relaxation as well so~ it should be helpful for Korin, right?”

“On it…!”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 227: Northern Walls (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Biting into the potatoes that were baked by Chunsik, Marie tried to think of what the bottom line would be that Korin wouldn’t be repulsed by.

Marie shook those happy but delusional thoughts away, because she knew Korin would refuse doing things that were too immoral.

However, she still felt the need to advance their relationship a little bit more. alien She still couldn’t forget the sense of urgency and fear she felt a few months ago during the war to take Korin as the son-in-law.

“Hehe… Should I ask if he wants to go in together? absorb Auh…! antique T, that’s a bit too much, right! portal Ahaha… How embarrassing…”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 227: Northern Walls (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

But what about straight after the bath?

First off would be the hot spring. atom He would of course turn down the mixed bath, so she didn’t even plan to ask about it.

“Hmm…! antique Right! voyage This is it!”

It was a method suggested by Isabelle, proven to work on several occasions.

She could let him rest on her body. acquire Korin had the tendency to fall asleep straight away when resting on her soft chest so…

‘I’ll ask if I can drink some blood… cuddle close and when it’s over, I will suggest we ‘rest’ together.’

The skin would be warm and moist, serving as a great blanket and a pillow.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 227: Northern Walls (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

All she had to do now was invite Korin. apron In order to make the first move before others were even aware of the hot spring, Marie headed to the city to find him.

Unable to contain the corners of her lips, Marie giggled to herself.

“Hehehe…”

– Gulp!

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 227: Northern Walls (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

She knew where Korin was – he was always at the same place keeping the Sun up in the sky, and must be quite tired by now.

All she was doing was try alleviating some of his stress. shadow It was for his benefit. atom Telling herself that, she was walking to where Korin was, and came across some unexpected people.

“Un un! attic He must be! amber He must be super tired!”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 227: Northern Walls (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Oblivious to her presence, the two of them were talking to themselves.

“Hua Ran and… Professor Josephine?”

“This?”

“Yes. atomic The carpenters here are more skilled than I was expecting.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 227: Northern Walls (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

It was rare to see the two of them strolling around the city together. attic Were they here to buy something?

“I heard babies are fond of toys like this.”

Marie was about to call their names when she heard a completely unexpected set of words.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 227: Northern Walls (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Why were they talking about babies? matrix Were they trying to give that wooden toy as a gift to some of the babies in the city?

‘Babies?’

“Really?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 227: Northern Walls (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Ehk? amateur Ehk?’

“By the way, does Korin know already? atlas That he will have a baby soon?”

“Well. antique You can buy this ahead of time. attic Student Hua Ran… Or perhaps I shouldn’t refer to you like that anymore. athlete Because you are a proud mother of a child already…”

Wait. audit Wait.

“Fuu… You should quickly tell him. voyage He lost his self-control and laid his hands on you… so you never know who else he is going to target with his demonic hands…”

“He will find out soon.”

Marie dropped the potato she was eating.

“He doesn’t know yet.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 227: Northern Walls (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

The potato crumbled the moment it fell on the ground and so did her heart.

– Crush!
