I Killed an Academy Player

Located at the center of the ongoing winter, its walls facing the north couldn’t stop the blistering cold nor the snow pouring down from above. academy The only saving grace was that the snow wasn’t at the level of a blizzard.

Border City.

Thanks to the rapid increase in population, the snow was quickly being removed from the main roads but the same couldn’t be said to the streets and alleyways on the side.

“Aiya~. adopt We might even be able to make an igloo with this much snow.”

A little deeper in from the main roads, there were still massive piles of snow that could make a leaping dog vanish from sight.

Although it wasn’t frozen solid, it was still a wondrous sight to behold.

“What are you doing?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 241: Rest (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“I was thinking about making a snowman.”

Surprised from the sudden voice from behind, I turned around and found Hua Ran in her usual nun clothes looking up with curiosity in her eyes.

“Holy heavens!”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 241: Rest (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“…Un.”

“Do neither of you know what a snowman is?”

Hua tilted her head curious as to what a snowman was. action The fact that Hua didn’t know about it… implied Ran didn’t know it either.

“A snowman?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 241: Rest (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“She says she didn’t get to play much when she was young. acoustic Because she was sick.”

After some delay, Hua nodded and relayed what Ran said.

“Ah…”

As a result, it was only recently that she had begun living a proper, normal life.

“It’s okay. orbit We can slowly do them one by one.”

We can build a snowman… make friends, and slowly build up one at a time. accent For that to happen, I had to win this war – not just for Hua Ran’s sake, but for everyone’s future as well.

Ran had spent her childhood days on the bed, waiting for time to pass by, and what happened after Hua’s birth didn’t even need to be mentioned.

“We are going to roll up a ball of snow. arcade So that it becomes bigger and bigger.”

I handed her my gloves. auction They were a bit too big for her tiny hands, but I gave them to her regardless.

“Let’s start with the snowman first.”

“Un.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 241: Rest (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Her eyes seemed to be asking, ‘What about your gloves?’

“It’s fine for guys like this oppa.”

“…What about you?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 241: Rest (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Now now! orbit Let us begin construction!”

“…Here.”

She handed one of the gloves back, suggesting we use one each. amber It was a cute act of kindness that I didn’t feel like turning down.

“Speak normally.”

The ball of snow that used to be the size of our fists slowly but surely gained size by absorbing the snow beneath.

I started rolling a ball of snow across the ground. zenith Hua appeared very lost and watched me for a while before starting to roll her own.

– Roll roll

It was heartwarming to see how this girl, who could dissipate the snow in front of us with a single punch, was surprised by a snowball becoming bigger.

Hua stopped and widened her eyes in surprise.

“It’s gotten bigger…”

This again showed how she was just a young teenage girl.

‘I feel bad.’

If I told her this, she would scold me and say, ‘You’re the same age as me,’ but… technically I was a lot older than her.

As such, I found her case to be such a shame and felt sorry for her, because it made me feel like a bad adult dragging young kids into a battlefield.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 241: Rest (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

The ball of snow was now as tall as her waist.

“Don’t put too much force and take your time. meadow That’s it. avalanche Just like that.”

“Now, on top of this…”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 241: Rest (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

I made a smaller ball of snow and put it on top, added a few twigs, a carrot and a few buttons to make a decent snowman.

The girl, who didn’t know what a snowman was, was blinking at the sight of a completed snowman. album I was also feeling slightly proud of my work, and how my skills hadn’t disappeared despite being so long.

“Ah. legend It’s like a man. alpha A snowman…”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 241: Rest (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Forget it.”

“It feels like I’m back to being young.”

“…We’re still young.”

In any case, now that we warmed ourselves up, it was time to go all in.

“Anything?” accent Hua asked back.

“Yeah. attic We can make a house or a bigger snowman.”

“Anything you guys want to make?” absorb I asked.

We had more than enough snow, after all.

Everyone was fully invested in it like there was no tomorrow, and some of them even made a K9 Thunder. audit It was crazy… They built a freaking tank out of snow for a vacation.

This reminded me of one of the positive memories I had from the military. galaxy One day, the Major General opened a snow sculpture contest to alleviate his boredom.

It was a pretty big contest that involved everyone in the division, with the winner being promised a 5 day vacation…!

Looking back, it was the military where I had met the most diverse range of people.

“Ran… wants to build a house.”

“Too easy.”

“A house?”

“House.”

……

We began working immediately. athlete Building things with snow brought back some long-forgotten memories.

………

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 241: Rest (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Actually, I was trying to build an igloo but failed, but in any case, this reminded me of the time when I went camping with an exchange student from Japan – back when we dug a hole in the snow and had some instant noodles inside.

There was so much snow that we could make literally anything but what I decided to go with was a big hole in the snow.

…

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 241: Rest (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Let’s go in!”

Anyway, I finished making the… pseudo-igloo. amateur I tried my best to imitate the bricks by scratching lines with a twig but… Hmm, hmm. anxiety Surely this wasn’t too bad.

“Not bad right?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 241: Rest (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“…It’s very small.”

“Fufu. aluminum How do you like it?”

The ceiling was a little low and we had to crouch right next to each other, but it felt like we were out here camping, and didn’t feel so bad.

It was a shame that I didn’t have any food we could have inside, but we could deal with that later. beacon First of all, we crawled into the pseudo-igloo.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 241: Rest (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“…No,” Hua blurted out.

The hole I slept in with Estelle was even smaller than this. album This was nothing compared to that atypical and… interesting experience.

“But still, it’s good enough for a one night sleep.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 241: Rest (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“What?”

Of course we are not going to sleep here. athlete That wasn’t my actual intention. agent Why would we sleep here and not on our beds?

“We can’t… sleep here.”

“Korin! advance What are you doing here?”

“Storks?”

What was this about storks? anchor I was about to ask but was stopped by someone who shoved their face into the entrance.

“Storks can’t come in…”

“Sunbae. apron Perfect timing.”

I crawled back out with Hua Ran.

“Marie-sunbae.”

“Huh?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 241: Rest (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Snowmans? aspect Hmm~. alpha So that’s what you were doing.”

“Can I borrow your magic? antenna Let’s build some snowmans and a mansion.”

Marie said after looking around and finding the snowman.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 241: Rest (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Doggo popped out of her shadow with a bark.

I wanted to bury my cold hands into his fluffy fur to warm them back down, but he flicked my hands away before I could.

“Sure. galaxy Doggo. apron Come out as well.”

– Woof!

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 241: Rest (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“What? adapt How could you!”

“What an unfilial child! aspect No allowance for you next month!”

– Woof! accent (Don’t touch me)

I immediately turned towards Marie.

– Woof woof woof! autumn Woof woof! audit (Sure~ I’m getting 2,000 gold coins next week)

This damn dog! armor Wearing branded shirts all day, which I’m not even doing myself, he forgot how to treasure money!

“Marie-sunbae! acquire Don’t give him any money!”

“No, but… he needs money to buy snacks, right?”

“Let him take care of himself!”

“Uh, umm… But what is he going to do if I don’t give him money?”

“Snacks? armor Snackkkks? abandon With that money he can buy a whole store!”

“But… he’s saving the little bit of money he gets so don’t be mean to him.”

2,000 gold coins… 2 million dollars is little?

“Little… bit of money?”

We couldn’t come to a common ground. afford Our mindset when raising kids was way too different!

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 241: Rest (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“…”

I wanted to say something else, but couldn’t stop Marie, who was excitedly hopping around the snow.

“Anyway, I want to try making a snowman too. acoustic Something bigger and cooler!”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 241: Rest (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Although Marie was also physically strong, she wasn’t the type of person who liked doing things manually. matrix And it was okay for her, because she had a never-exhausting excavator called Doggo and magic.

“Freeze~”

“Let’s freeze that, compress that and… Go build some bricks, Doggo.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 241: Rest (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Her finished snowman was an icy sculpture reaching 6 feet in height.

Was this even a snowman anymore?

Here we were rolling balls of snow with our hands to build snowmans, and yet Marie froze the snow into ice bricks, and rolled the snow with her magic. avalanche Without even… touching the snow with her hands, she created a snowman and a building.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 241: Rest (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Mere knights like us were dummies who could do nothing but swing around swords and spears, and we couldn’t imitate even a fraction of that.

Ah… so this is why you needed to study hard to be a mage.

“Fuu~ Let’s lower the temperature a little bit more, add water to decorate and…”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 241: Rest (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

There was even a set of stairs around the sculpture, which she walked over to scrutinize the construction. audit After completing it, Marie showed it off with a wide smile on her face.

“Done! autumn Look, look, Korin! anxiety It looks good right!?”

You were right, Park Sihu! echo I should have learned magic too!

I turned towards Hua Ran, about to encourage her to give some compliments too, and realized her eyes were colored blue.

“Looks great.”

“…”

“Are you Ran?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 241: Rest (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

It was out of nowhere but it made sense, because we had been building a snowman while only wearing one glove each.

“Oppa. attic My hands are freezing.”

“Give me your hand.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 241: Rest (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“It’s better though, right?”

“Hehe. arch It’s ticklish.”

I rubbed my hands into her cold red hands, and blew on it to warm them down as much as possible. acquire Although it might be nothing compared to the cold, I still did it because even a hand fan was helpful in mid-summer.

“Let me do it this time, oppa.”

Ran replied before throwing a glance to the side. athlete Then, she wrapped my hands with her own.

“Yes~”

“I want to do it.”

“You don’t have to.”

Ran and I were taking turns blowing warm air onto each other’s hands when Marie rushed down the stairs towards us.

“K, Korin…!”

“M, my hands are freezing too! atlas Can you warm them down?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 241: Rest (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Wasn’t Marie immune to cold, just like how I was immune to heat?

“Sunbae… You’re a mage specializing in ice. sphere Don’t you have cold-protection?”

“Y, yeah…”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 241: Rest (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Woof!”

Ran had a smirk on her face while Marie was shivering and looking for words to say. anxiety I was about to intervene and say something but…

“Eeek…!”

“Don’t worry about her, oppa,” said Ran. riddle “She made everything with magic and didn’t even touch the snow.”

“K, Korin?”

A ball of snow flew from a distance and smacked me on my face.

“Oppa? acquire Are you okay?”

“W, what the heck… There’s something inside?”

He put a stone inside! album This damn… I turned and glared at the unfilial dog who was grinning after throwing a stone-filled snowball.

After falling straight down onto the thick layer of snow, I turned around to see what hit me because it didn’t feel like just snow.

“How dare you speak like that! acquire H, huh? abstract You bastard! alert Lower that finger right now!”

“Oi! adapt Someone’s gonna get hurt if you miss that! arctic Let go!”

“What? aluminum Korin-dongsaeng is losing? absorb Wait! academy I will be there in no time!”

“But everyone, whether they are an adult or a child, have to participate in the war against that man. acid Anyone who is a part of this world has the responsibility to partake in it.”

Erin and Josephine knew that Korin had come from the future. palette They knew how he had become an adult through countless fights and hardships, as well as how he was sacrificing himself out of goodwill and hopes of happiness to protect others.
