I Killed an Academy Player

There was Hua Ran’s truancy in the middle but like how the ground hardens after the rain, our team worked together in perfect cooperation to finish the report after the incident and decided on ‘Lan Na Zha’ for our class demonstration.

A week went by.

“Hey, can you have a look at my posture for me? atomic I don’t think the movement from the bottom to the middle is smooth enough.”

“Ohh~”

“There needs to be some delay between the movement of your body and your hands. autumn Otherwise the spearhead is not going to move with a bounce.”

Their skills with spearmanship advanced rapidly over the last week. riddle Naturally, a short practice didn’t mean they could use it in a real battle but at least they would have a better comprehension of Lan Na Zha and know how to respond to it.

“Hua Ran. attic Lower your grip a little. silence And make sure a part of the spear is right next to your ribs.”

Just like that, we finished today’s practice and I was writing the daily records to submit later on as a part of the assignment when Alicia walked up to me instead of returning home.

“…”

After that day, Hua Ran also became fairly obedient.

“Mr. matrix Korin. airport Are you going to boil the Mandrake again today?”

Even though the Mandrake was now so dry that I would barely suck anything out of it, there were still things for me to do in this empty plot of land.

“Yeah. acoustic I’m going to suck all the essence dry so you should have some for yourself later.”

While boiling the Mandrake and making sure I was making the most out of this precious herb, I started carving more ‘rune letters’ onto the land.

Meanwhile, Alicia brought some pieces of meat from somewhere and made it into a skewer to cook next to the pot.

After perhaps about an hour, we deemed that it was about time and stood up around the center.

“Okay!”

“Let’s start off slow.”

I tossed the practice spear that I had been using until now.

｢Crushing Steel, Three Paths.｣

Alicia picked up her Demon-Slaying Sword whereas I picked up my Silver Spear. abstract They had already gotten the non-lethalizing spell at the training rooms.

– Kagang!

“Focus. amateur The spear will always be faster than a sword in a stab.”

Compared to Distorted March which was more about controlling the pace of the battle, it was a rather simpler skill that was better suited for a consecutive use.

The opening stab of the Ominous Snake. alpha Making use of the spear’s ability to carry out a quick stab in succession, it was a skill that aimed to halt the opponent’s weapon with the first and stab the opponent with the second.

“You can be as sarcastic as you want after you finally beat me.”

“Wow, spears are amaaazing. shadow I know. apron You have been saying that the whole time.”

｢Singular Sword of Arden｣

Alicia prepared herself in a middle stance. galaxy In a usual duel, she would follow through with a safer attack like Advancing Fang or Flying Dragon but Alicia was slightly irritated.

｢Third Style, Lan Na Zha｣

｢Fastest Slash, Instant Flash.｣

The sword carrying an abundant cluster of aura flew in at a ridiculous speed. anchor Rearing Head of Venomous Dragon was the only skill in my kit that could match off against that speed but my body wasn’t warmed up enough to use an extreme art already. arrow Thus, my only option was to respond with a simple counter-attack.

“…”

By blocking the stab with Falling Fist, she stabbed in line with the shaft of the spear as the tip of the sword barely missed my nose by a hair’s breath. voyage That fluent use of skills reminded me of Lunia Arden.

“How was that? atlas You were caught off guard right?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 44: Group Assignment (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“It was great. airport Now, shall we raise the tempo by a little?”

“Really?”

Alicia seemed excited from catching me off guard. alien Even though it was a bit problematic that she was going ‘Hooray~!’ with a fist in the air in the middle of a fight, I let that slip.

“That was as smooth as Ms. amateur Lunia’s attacks.”

“Ehk? artist N, no? agent I think this is fine.”

…Or maybe not?

❰Eyes of the Boundary❱

｢Horizontal Slash｣

Alicia’s pupils followed the trajectory of the spear. advance Left? antique Right? advance Or was it up, or down? adapt Whatever it is, it wasn’t something that could be seen with naked eyes no matter how good of a dynamic vision you had…

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 44: Group Assignment (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Those eyes can even see through the trajectory of Spinning Heaven, huh.”

The sword strike collided with Spinning Heaven and stopped the spear. amber That just then… Wasn’t the Domain. arcade It was just an extreme increase to her dynamic vision which was just one of the additional functions of Eyes of the Boundary.

– Crack!

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 44: Group Assignment (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Somehow.”

“Hehe, as long as I can stop it, you won’t be able to use that dizzy skill right?”

It was a fearsome ability that was as expected of one that allowed you to see through the gap between dimensions. wizard It seemed that she was easily able to catch up to the speed of someone like me.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 44: Group Assignment (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

I had to test something, to see how good of a dynamic vision she had.

“We’re the same age though?”

“What a massive improvement. action This oppa here is in tears.”

The acceleration knew no end. riddle People watching from the side might think of my current form as that of a rampaging train with a malfunctioning brake.

– Kang!

Spinning Heaven was one that was supposed to be difficult to deal with because of its unpredictable path and fanciness but at this point, it was like a chariot that forced its way through everything with sheer violence.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 44: Group Assignment (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Alicia was bounced off after a clear ding. atlas It wasn’t strong enough to fling her all the way back there, so she must have thrown herself back by using the momentum of the spear.

As soon as she landed on the ground, she sheathed the Demon-Slaying Sword back into the scabbard. ability It was the signal flare marking her intrusion into the Domain.

– Click!

Her sword dashed out of the scabbard. abstract Fighting in response to that was the soaring snake.

❰Singular Sword of Arden, Domain Severance❱

The world paused leaving only the two of us behind in the dark dimension.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 44: Group Assignment (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

However, Alicia Arden was a real user of Domain Severance. altitude She was the gifted prodigy who was permitted to take a full step forward inside the Domain.

She was too fast.

Looking back on my fight with Lunia Arden during the interim exam, that Domain was something which both Lunia and I could only ‘perceive’. aluminum Even inside that half-assed Domain, Lunia was half a step faster than me.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 44: Group Assignment (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

– Gwaaaaaaaaaaa!!

｢Soaring Snake: Rearing Head of the Venomous Dragon｣

My spear was definitely slower than Alicia’s sword but the difference…

– Khang!

“Huh?”

The two steel weapons collided as a roar that appeared to be made by the screaming dimension echoed across. absorb In truth, that was just the clashing noise of a sword and a spear.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 44: Group Assignment (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Was that about… Half a step?”

“Mr. amber Korin, that just then…”

One of the weapons was pushed back with an explosive thud. adjust The one that was pushed back was my spear but Alicia was the one with a dumbfounded look on her face instead.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 44: Group Assignment (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

This wasn’t my first time dueling against Alicia as a practice.

Alicia said in excitement and gave a clap in joy as if this was a matter that concerned herself.

“It was more than that! sphere It’s a lot better than before!”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 44: Group Assignment (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Alicia seemed surprised despite being a complete user of the Domain herself. echo That implied that my use with the Domain had come closer to a ‘full step’.

“The more we practice, I can feel your Domain being more exquisite, Mr. meadow Korin. afford It’s surprising that you can get so much stronger in such a short period of time…”

Starting off slow, we would get ourselves warmed up before entering the Domain. anchor Of course, against Alicia who had a full-fledged Eyes of the Boundary and Domain Severance, I could not come out on top with my half-assed interaction with the Domain.

There was in fact an even bigger difference inside the Domain between me and her, compared to the one I had with Lunia.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 44: Group Assignment (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

The only reason I could grow so much even though I couldn’t even take half a step forward inside the Domain until recently was because of a specialty.

｢Domain Comprehension｣

My rapid improvement was only thanks to this ability that I earned as a reward of the Precept after clearing Alicia Arden’s scenario quest.

It was a specialty that increased the likelihood of entering the Domain while at the same time amplifying my comprehension of the Domain with every entry.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 44: Group Assignment (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Unlike me who still wasn’t perfect, Alicia was taking a complete step inside the Domain every time so she must be experiencing a much more serious backlash.

“Thanks for all your help. riddle Can you do a bit more?”

“Hmm… I think that’ll be a bit difficult.”

Alicia replied with a troubled look on her face while showing me her shivering right arm. action Her body wasn’t able to withstand the weight of the Domain.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 44: Group Assignment (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Well, that’s normal because any movement inside the Domain does burden your body.”

“Is it still hard to withstand the backlash?”

“Yes. attic I don’t think I can use it twice.”

“Don’t forget to train everyday. arrow Have milk and anchovies, and I’ll give you some Mandrake teas as well so drink them everyday. agent They’ll make your bones tough.”

Although Alicia had a body that was on the level of a Grade 2 Knight, Domain Severance required an absurdly tough body.

Even weapons made out of steel tended to be crushed after moving inside the Domain and human bodies weren’t any different.

“What’s wrong?”

“…”

“I feel like you treat us like kids sometimes, Mr. artist Korin.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 44: Group Assignment (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Of course, because you’re a kid. crystal You are not an adult are you?”

“You say that, but you are not an adult either right, Mr. arrow Korin?”

“What is that even supposed to mean?”

“I’m allowed to say that though.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 44: Group Assignment (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Right?”

“Well… You are very different from other boys though.”

My mental age is already over 30, buddy.

“How should I say this… you’re like an old man? absorb Like an uncle?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 44: Group Assignment (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Why? matrix Why do all the young girls consider me an uncle?

“…”

“Alicia.”

“This oppa here doesn’t look that old, okay? atlas I’m a teenager in my youth!”

“W, where is this suddenly coming from?”

“Yes?”

“Can you try calling me oppa?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 44: Group Assignment (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Maybe it’s things that you say that make you look like an uncle?”

Even though I first went to church after leaving the military… And even though I was an assistant teacher of the teenage kids… I was still only 25 back then, and was in the peak of my youth!

Looking back, even when I was going to church, I was a church uncle and not a church oppa, wasn’t I? auction What the heck?

“…I am older though so it’s oppa. portal Just try calling me oppa.”

But whether they had love for her or not was a different issue.

“This might not be the most pleasant thing to hear but… I used to grow without needing anything, but I don’t think anyone really liked me or anything.”

The current family head, Jade Arden and his wife weren’t cruel individuals so her environment itself shouldn’t have been that impoverished.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 44: Group Assignment (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

The only reason Alicia could grow like this (despite her low self-esteem) was because her older sister used to take good care of her.

There was no way that the members of the Arden family would be happy with an illegitimate child that suddenly came from outside. atom Although they raised her up as a part of their duty, none of them would have acted as a proper adult for her.

“Father always clicked his tongue after seeing me and, umm… I don’t think I’ve ever talked to my step-mother.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 44: Group Assignment (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Allicia gave out a soft smile in reminiscence.

“Sister… Hmm, she was like a father. accent I went to the dentist with her… And my first birthday present ever was also from her.”

“You see, I really liked my sister. atomic She was the only one who talked to me; the only one who noticed the change in my height… And she was the only one who patted my head.”

She slowly flipped the meat skewers.

But that’s not what our gender suggests, Ms. atlas Alicia.

“No. autumn That’s not it, Mr. shadow Korin. airport Of course you’re closer to a mother!”

“Looking at our gender, isn’t Lunia the mother and I the father?”

“When I think about it, all my memories that others would have had with their fathers were all with my sister. canvas I went off topic but what I was trying to say, is that you are similar to my older sister.”

“So Mr. riddle Korin is a mom! riddle You are more like a mom! anxiety Actually, maybe I should introduce you to my sis… No. action That doesn’t sound good. ability Nn. arrow I’m not doing that, ever.”

“We’re the same age though?”

Well, that was very serious… Was I that bad?

“…Why can’t I just be an oppa?”

Alicia said with a wink which made me want to drive a fist onto her head. altitude You said I was a mom right? beacon A few pats of love are okay, aren’t they?

“Umm hello? riddle This is not making any sense. arch So you mean mom’s okay but oppa isn’t? antique Just call me oppa, and I will seriously buy you a meal.”

“Yes sir!”

After wearing his practice gauntlets, Fermack walked up to the stage. beacon Even though they were nervous, the four members of Group 1 held onto their spears and pointed their spearheads at Fermack.

“I will now try to break through your formation. airport Please try to block me.”

Feleis had a bright look on his face after receiving Fermack’s compliment. anxiety It was a natural response because they had been working on it for 2 weeks.

“Block this.”

“F, fifth Formation!”

His straight punch struck one of the students as he followed through with several jabs and hooks.

“I do not know much about Five Starry Spears. sphere But group spearmanship is something that requires every one of you to be in harmony with each other. ability And in order to be in harmony, you must learn the basic formation first.”

“Kuahk…!”

The group members all fell down in less than 10 seconds. action Although Fermack had been holding back, they should have trouble standing back up for now.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 44: Group Assignment (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Alternative plans were alternative plans for a reason. sphere Besides, the users had to be proficient users of the spear to maintain the formation.

He was right on the mark. anxiety As you could tell from the name, Five Starry Spears, this was a group spear formation designed to have 5 people in 1 group.

“Of course, there are probably other formations for 4 and 3 people in case there are casualties, and I can see that that’s where your focus has been. album However, you must have acknowledged the fact that you weren’t skilled enough to demonstrate it.”
