I Killed an Academy Player

Marie doubted the existence of the precepts.

“W-Wait… something like that exists? alert Is it really possible?”

When the truth about Korin’s precepts became known, the girls fell into silence.

Because she trusted the integrity of the person named Korin more than anyone else.

Of course, it was mostly out of pure disbelief when she said it.

Fundamentally, Marie Dunareff is the kind of person who believes in anything Korin Locke says.

Hwaran, Estelle, and Miriam were also equally embarrassed.

“A percept….”

But after witnessing him vomit blood, there was no room for doubt.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 264: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Erin, who lived through the Age of the Gods, confirmed it decisively.

“It is a magic passed down since the distant ages of the gods. admire A code of conduct for warriors who impose obligations on themselves and keep their oaths. adopt It’s a force that even the gods themselves could not interfere with.”

“It is possible. arena The precepts are a… very old, ancient magic.”

Because everyone has witnessed a powerful man driven to the brink of death just by causing someone else’s ‘misfortune’ without any magical or physical interference.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 264: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Erin then talked about what the precepts were, how powerful they were, and the price for breaking them.

Estelle was once again impressed by Korin, who risked his life to save the world, while Miriam remained silent.

“…”

“I see… Korin-dongsaeng’s growth rate really was at an unbelievable rate.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 264: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Marie and Hwaran, too, realized what the first precept meant, and their faces turned pale.

For Marie, Alicia, Hwaran, Estelle, and Erin… Korin had always thrown himself into danger without hesitation to protect those around him.

It wasn’t hard to figure out if you thought for just a moment.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 264: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“I need… some time to think.”

His determination to lose no one, his willingness to walk into suffering, this was the Korin Locke they knew.

And at the end, the path to saving the world had opened up, and he saved the world.

Back when he had nothing, he fought a top-class vampire armed with nothing but a spear, and battled a rampaging demon until his body was a shredded mess.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 264: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

From a young age, she was showered with excessive love and attention from her parents, and her naturally gentle personality was well-liked by her peers, siblings, and servants alike.

The girls had a moment of hesitation before the absurd plan of a harem.

* * * *

Marie is a beloved girl.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 264: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

But the love she had received and the love she now felt were completely different in kind.

As the eldest of seven siblings, the fact that she had never once fought with them or become the target of jealousy showed just how deeply loved she was.

A girl who grew up receiving lots of love also gave love to those around her.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 264: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

She knew it was a different kind of love. auction But for someone like Marie, who was used to receiving just as much affection in return, her relationship with Korin Locke was truly an unfamiliar one.

She had harbored this sweet, innocent feeling for a very long time.

Her first love.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 264: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

But perhaps, precisely because of that, she hoped, no, expected, that he would give everything of himself in return.

She could do anything for the one she loved.

Wealth, power, strength… she would give everything she had to support and bring joy to the one she loved.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 264: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Even the plan of waiting a hundred years of waiting to make him hers forever.

“Idiot…”

Was that being too greedy?

That wasn’t a valid option anymore..

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 264: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

She voiced her resentment aloud. timber She hated that Korin couldn’t love only her.

“I hate you, Korin…”

Even if he chose someone else, the seeds of misfortune he would plant in doing so might be enough to kill him.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 264: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

She loved him.

And yet──

She loved Korin Locke.

The cathedral is quiet on weekdays.

* * * *

Marie Dunareff was deeply, and ever so helplessly, in love.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 264: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Inside the chapel, seated among the rows of tightly packed wooden pews, Hwa and Ran sat in silence.

“…..”

As it was originally built as a cathedral for academy students, only a select few who were on the path to priesthood were allowed to enter on weekdays.

“…..”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 264: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

They didn’t want to show weakness in front of their rivals, who were their enemies in love.

Ran spoke, taking the initiative for the ever-silent Hwa.

‘What should we do?’

The two had come here specifically to avoid running into the other girls.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 264: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“….I don’t know.”

The love and affection that these two had were pure to an extreme.

Neither of them had ever imagined being in such a situation.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 264: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

That pure affection had blossomed into love, which evolved into a deeper, more primal desire to possess.

They loved Korin, they felt warm when they were with him, they felt good whenever he touched them, and they wanted to bring him joy.

They wished he would touch ‘only them’.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 264: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“…what is?”

They wished he would look ‘only at them’.

‘Maybe, this is for the best.’

They wished he were ‘only by their side.’

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 264: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“…….”

From some point on, they’d become wary of the other girls’ gazes, of the ones who looked at Korin the way they did.

Ran’s voice was sharp at first, but then she whispered softly.

‘If we’re all together… at least I don’t have to worry about losing him.’

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 264: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Afraid their warmth would be stolen.

Afraid he might be taken.

They were afraid.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 264: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

If they couldn’t be first, what were they supposed to do?

But now they knew it wasn’t so easy to bear a child.

That fear had once driven them to try for a child first.

“Korin, you idiot.”

‘Yeah… me too.’

“I still hate it.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 264: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

They hated that things had come to this.

“I like him.”

‘You’re an idiot, oppa.’

‘I like him too.’

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 264: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

They didn’t want to be apart.

To these two girls, Korin Locke had become someone they simply could not live without.

They wanted to feel that warmth forever.

She was a gifted being from birth; a child of God with a destined path ahead of her.

Estelle has no doubt that she was someone special.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 264: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

‘If the Lord is a fabricated lie, then why can’t I become a god?’

Even though her faith became twisted over time, Estelle’s strong sense of self didn’t collapse.

In fact, you could say it rebounded even stronger.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 264: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

To become the most revered figure in the land. orbit To become the goddess of the earth, embracing all things like a mother.

She, who had once been content with her status as a saintess and princess, began to dream a wild ambition.

That was why she made it her goal.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 264: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

The one who wielded the power of the sun, and the rightful heir to the divine seat (though he didn’t acknowledge it).

‘But this wasn’t just for me.’

The root of that ambition, the trigger for all her actions, was for a single man.

A kind, gentle, and just man, like a hero from a fairytale.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 264: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

‘No, that’s not it, that came later.’

The perfect sun god to stand beside the earth goddess she aspired to become.

Her cute little brother, who reacted with terror to her voice whispering in his ear, was the new god who could lead the true faith.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 264: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Actually, even before that… from the time when he had first saved her, when she’d first teased him playfully, Estelle had started falling in love.

Estelle simply wanted to cherish this love for a long, long time. audit Becoming a goddess seemed like a convenient bonus, really.

‘I would give up my position as a Goddess of the Earth to be with him.’

She thought that Korin was admirable for his unwavering justice and his willingness to walk the path of hardship to save others.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 264: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Estelle sighed heavily. crystal And then, a thought struck her.

If he loved only her, and if he would also accept her poor, pitiful little sister as a bonus… then even a brief human life would be enough.

“Ha….”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 264: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

What if she were her sister?

She stepped out of her room and walked down the dormitory corridor.

What would she do if she were the most selfish, cold-hearted person?

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 264: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Mir? avalanche You there?”

Tonight, she thought, it might be good to spend the night together and talk things out.

It was late, so her sister should be in her room right now.

Knock knock

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 264: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Estelle tilted her head and knocked again. alpha Still no reply.

“Huh?”

..No response.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 264: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

The life of royalty is more repetitive than most thought, and tonight was no different.

“Wait a minute…”

It was almost midnight, so Estelle knew her sister wouldn’t be out at this hour.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 264: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

And it took less than a second for her to say it aloud:

“She beat me to it?!”

She had let her guard down.

A sudden, ominous thought flashed across her mind.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 264: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

When I opened my eyes, I found myself tied up.

“Déjà vu…”

* * * *

Among all the women in love with Korin, the most decisive and bold of them all was that snake of a princess!

“You’re awake, my husband? action I laced your food with a sleeping drug strong enough to knock out a troll for a day.”

“P-Princess Mir…”

Mir silenced me with a pale finger on my lips.

And, as if it were the most natural thing in the world, there sat Mir on top of him, dressed in a red, semi-transparent lingerie.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 264: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

With a satisfied smile, she looked down at the speechless Korin.

Though her finger was half the size of mine, it felt like iron, holding my mouth shut.

“I gave it some thought.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 264: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Yup.”

“I really hate sharing what’s mine. amateur That’s why I beat that gay friend of yours to the punch.”

“W-Wait, you knew?!”

“…Sihoo?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 264: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Mir knew that Park Si-hoo liked me?!

If Sihoo had Korin’s strength, he’d probably have jumped him eventually.

“You can tell just by the way he looks at you. amber Of course, I knew it could never happen since your sexual preferences are painfully straight.”

Mir gave me a look like I’d just asked the dumbest question in the world.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 264: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

And honestly… she was probably right, which was terrifying.

Though, let’s set aside the fact that Sihoo’s actually a girl.

“S-Sorry…”

“I monopolized you before, but I don’t think I can this time, you flirtatious husband.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 264: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“…..”

I couldn’t even open my mouth to speak. alpha How did she realize that?

“I probably would not even be included as part of your precepts, right?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 264: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Yeah, that’s right. zenith While the other girls were tied to quests, Mir wasn’t.

Mir chuckled bitterly.

That was because I didn’t perceive her as a good person.

“Of course not. orbit I’m the villainess who tried to wipe out an entire city for revenge. admire There’s no way I’m considered a ‘good person’.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 264: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Still, that doesn’t mean….”

She was a villainess. agent Someone who’d shed blood for her goals.

“Which is why this isn’t the time to pick and choose, right?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 264: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Accept it, husband. orbit You need to build a harem anyway, don’t you?”

“I’m just the first one, that’s all.”

Yes, even if it’s to carry out my precepts… even to avoid making those left behind unhappy… even if it’s for my own survival…

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 264: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“I won’t deny it.”

“Hehe… you’re enjoying this, aren’t you? meadow You’re acting like a victim, but deep down you love it.”

Her hand slid towards my shirt buttons. antenna Actually, I could’ve broken free a long time ago… But should I just go along with it?

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 264: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Just as Mir’s finger slipped under my shirt button—

“Then…”

Honestly, I was kind of grateful. antique Maybe that’s why we were such a good match in the previous timeline.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 264: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

BANG!

Honestly, I had heard the clatter of her running for about ten seconds now, so it wasn’t a surprise.

A pink-haired saintess burst through the door.

“Tch…”

But still…

“Why is the timing like this….”

Mir clicked her tongue while Estelle’s eyes burned with fury towards her.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 264: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“My sweet little sister~ What exactly are you doing in here?”

“Oh, I know~ I just always choose the timing that bothers you most.”

“You’ve always had terrible timing, you know?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 264: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Sparks flew between them.

“Do you even realize that you’re a princess?”

Estelle walked up and glared at the barely-dressed Mir sitting on top of me.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 264: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“The harem is inevitable, you saw what happens if he doesn’t form one.”

“What??”

“I simply made the logical choice.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 264: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“That’s…”

“Y-You…!”

Estelle turned red and gasped for breath at Mir’s outrageous words.

“So, shouldn’t we get ahead of the others?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 264: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Oppa?”

And it wasn’t just Estelle who came running into my room.

“Mr. airport Korin!”

“Korin!”

Even Josephine arrived. armor Quickly assessing the situation, she then opened a portal and brought in Master Erin.

“Student Korin······.”

They started to gather one by one due to the commotion, and I was starting to get a little scared that Ren and Ron would come too. auction This wouldn’t be good for their education…

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 264: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

The sight of a tied-up Korin and a barely-dressed Mir startled Erin wide awake.

“In my own defense… I didn’t do it.”

“Huh… Clara? matrix What happened all of a sudden… oh my!”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 264: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Mir untied my bonds, stood me up beside her, embracing me so tightly her skin pressed against mine as she declared proudly.

“Well, now that everyone’s here, let me, Miriam Elizabeth el Ras, make my official statement.”

Isn’t twice enough for sex without any pleasure? antenna I mean, yeah, there was some pleasure… there was! antique But still, I wanna enjoy it sober for once… Like, that’s a totally normal desire, right? afford Not wanting to be drugged into sex is a normal desire, right??

“What did you say…?”

“I don’t care if Lord Korin has multiple wives. atomic As the main wife, I’ll graciously accept concubines.”

“Huh?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 264: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Alicia, whose side are you even on?!”

“It just feels more thrilling this way…”

“You’re weirdly responsible sometimes.”

In the worst-case scenario, I might have to reveal the precept to gain their approval, but I’d really prefer not to.

“First, we’ll persuade my fathers and mothers-in-law.”

“Probably.”

Just as the precepts gave me immense power, they were also a source of my greatest weakness.
