I Killed an Academy Player

“How is my Senior Brother Valtazar doing? atomic My dear nephew Fermack?”

“Nephew…?”

“You’re the disciple of the renounced disciple of my master, so that makes me your uncle. orbit Come show your respects to your elder.”

Fermack was probably suspecting that I was a ‘martial brother’ of his that he wasn’t aware of but…

“That can’t be! shadow That woman shouldn’t be able to leave the ‘Palace’ right now! afford How could she possibly take in another disciple?!”

He seemed to have finally noticed who I was.

“Uncle…? acquire Don’t tell me!”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 52: Finishing Touch (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

His decision after seeing me use the same spearmanship as his master was very wise.

“It’s not like you need to believe me.”

But why would his master not tell Fermack about another direct disciple even though he was here for a mission that was given by him?

From Fermack’s knowledge, his master should be the only spearman out there who used ‘Six Ways of the Spear’ to reach the ‘Void’. ability Therefore, judging from what I showed him, it should have been highly likely for me to be that man’s disciple.

As a traitor… or rather as a subject of the ‘King of Paradise’, what would have been the right call for Fermack Daman?

Ask for help.

Ignore.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 52: Finishing Touch (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Instead of bearing the risk, he decided to ignore me. galaxy On top of that, Fermack added a clever move.

He sent me outside the city using the ‘reassessment of a Grade 5 Knight who performed well against Lunia Arden’ as the excuse.

Asking for help was a foolish choice, because one Rune Mage was more than enough for this plan. accent He didn’t even need to receive my help for this plan, and what if I didn’t have the same master as him? apron What if I was antagonistic, and what if I had nothing to do with them?

Ignoring was the safer option. portal Even after ignoring me here, he could still reveal his identity at a later date.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 52: Finishing Touch (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Professor Deina’s experiment and Senior Marie’s incident were great events for you, right? crystal Because you have been waiting for the right opportunity.”

He probably wasn’t expecting me to return using a long-distance dimensional travel through Lady Josephine’s marker.

Meanwhile, he could create a ruckus with the ‘King of Iron Mountain’ incident and escape after the whole thing was over. portal My identity was something he could ask his master and king at a later date.

The subjugation of a semi-Grade 1 demonic beast and spirit would normally take a week or two at the very least. arena Considering the time it takes to travel back and forth, I wouldn’t have been able to come back before it was over.

The boss of the 1st Arc, Marie Dunareff’s incident was a coincidental accident whereas the outbreak of the 2nd Arc’s boss, King of Iron Mountain, was a thoroughly devised plan.

In this iteration, it was substituted by questions about Marie’s safety and security issues but the important part here was ‘Chairman Eriu Casarr’s absence at the Academy’.

One of the key requirements of the 2nd Arc’s boss fight were the questions about Eriu Casarr’s right as the chairman, which was triggered by Marie’s incident.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 52: Finishing Touch (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“!!!”

“You are not going back with that ‘Primal Rune’.”

The absence of the ‘Primal Guardian’ that was created with the strongest ‘rune stone’ must have been the best opportunity for Fermack, who had been waiting for it for over 10 years.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 52: Finishing Touch (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

If the ‘guardians’ were aware of his existence, they wouldn’t have watched this happen in the first place.

“Did Josephine… No, that can’t be right.”

Fermack’s eyes widened behind his sunglasses. arch That wasn’t something a mere student should be aware of, and the only ones that knew about it were his master and…

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 52: Finishing Touch (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

He concluded it with that one sentence.

“I see. anchor So you’re my enemy, huh.”

“Yes. atomic I am your enemy.”

I could sense his confusion from the torrent of undecipherable information. acid A normal villain would have gone, ‘Who are you!’ and lingered on the topic but…

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 52: Finishing Touch (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

The real mastermind behind this incident, who lifted the seals cast on the final boss of the 2nd Arc, ‘King of Iron Mountain’, that would later appear with the ‘King of Paradise’ as one of his 4 attendants.

Fermack Daman.

“…”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 52: Finishing Touch (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“…”

It was such a distant past… Actually, it wasn’t even that far back, because it was 1 year ago before the end of the last iteration.

He was known as a famous Grade 1 Knight in the world, but no. wizard At the very least, he was a semi-Unique Grade just like Lunia Arden and had the potential to reach the power of a Unique Grade after meeting certain conditions.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 52: Finishing Touch (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Everything was for the Advent of Paradise – for that stupid ambition of theirs.

When I first met him at the grading test in this iteration, I had vowed to myself that I would kill him without fail.

This guy did the same thing last time, and reappeared later to kill a large number of my comrades and innocent people.

“Looks like you have gotten overly arrogant from all the compliments of your peers. action Do you think you’ll have a chance against me?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 52: Finishing Touch (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

❰Shadow Servant❱

A clone stood up from within his shadow and created another version of him.

“Arise, my shadow.”

Fermack Daman was the first one to move.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 52: Finishing Touch (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“It will be over in no time.”

That was his specialty. airport It doubled the user’s attacks as long as there was shadow nearby so it was a wondrously powerful ability when paired up with boxing.

Fermack gave an arrogant declaration but… there was a reason why I had chosen this place as the battlefield.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 52: Finishing Touch (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

– Crack! adapt Rip! alien Kajijik!

“The natural counter to shadow-type moves. sphere You already know the biggest weakness of your skill right?”

The created clone suddenly fluctuated before dissipating due to the radiant light of the sun.

“Sowilo…!”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 52: Finishing Touch (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Fermack avoided the rune of the sun that was eliminating his shadow and took a step to the side.

It might be obvious but shadow-type skills required shadow in the first place. aluminum Like how water-attributed spells required moisture and fire-attributed spells required oxygen, everything had a necessary cost and a procedure whether it be a specialty or an elemental spell.

“…”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 52: Finishing Touch (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

– Pajik!

However, there was another rune of the sun in that place. airport He realized something after noticing that his shadow had been removed once again by the same rune.

“It was quite tough actually. sphere I spent 20 days engraving solar runes all across this place. admire It was a lot of work but I had a lot of spare mana these days you see.”

“Don’t tell me… you covered this entire area with Sowilo?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 52: Finishing Touch (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

I had been preparing for this battle in this inhabited land, that had no passersby and a secret passage leading to the basement of the laboratory, before anyone else.

This was a brutal stage set just to counter Fermack Daman.

While boiling the Mandrake decoction as well as when we were practicing spearmanship for the group assignment, all the way until I had to leave for the grading test, I was practically living in this plot of land.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 52: Finishing Touch (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“You damn coward…”

“…”

“You mean organized.”

‘Damn it’ – that’s what his gaze told me. afford He must be quite annoyed by the fact that his Shadow Servant had been deactivated, after requiring so much mana to activate, by such a simple and elementary rune.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 52: Finishing Touch (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

He closed the distance in an instant.

ᚱ — Raidho

“I do admit you have perseverance but…”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 52: Finishing Touch (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

However, Fermack’s supersonic movement happened like a flash, where the distance between him and his foe became smaller like it was folded, and did not seem like a simple sprint.

– Pabak!

10 meters – it wasn’t a super long distance by any means, but it was a distance that still required some time to travel.

I moved my spear to meet the lightning-fast fist.

❰Eight Trigrams – Fleeting Body❱

❰Southpaw Jet Boost❱

But the spear ended up cutting nothing. alert His body vanished like it blinked out of sight. aspect He had already accelerated next to my body and was swinging his fist at my side.

“??!”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 52: Finishing Touch (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Hoh?”

– Vuung!

A consecutive use of Raidho to attack the weakness – it was a decent yet straight-forward combo. echo Did he think I wouldn’t be able to dodge that or something?

My feet moved following the profound wisdoms of Eight Trigrams and slid across as Fermack’s punch failed to reach anything.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 52: Finishing Touch (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Using my fingers, I started spinning the spear. atomic The spear rotated far and wide and threatened the boxer.

❰Fourth Style, Spinning Heaven❱

❰Full Back❱

“I have been at it for 10 years. aluminum It’s something I cannot help.”

“…A nice balance of techniques polished through experience and practice. action Very good.”

“Pretending to be a professor now?”

With his lower body in the same place, Fermack lowered his back to dodge the spear. canvas Relying on his superhuman dynamic vision and perfect calculation of distance, he dodged my sudden chain of attacks with the minimal number of movements.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 52: Finishing Touch (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“You cocky brat.”

I proclaimed while pointing at him with the ambiently glimmering Silver Spear. voyage After hearing my resolve, he also turned serious.

“Whatever you try to do, this will be your graveyard.”

“How about you talk like a frivolous teacher again, huh? accent Continue doing what you’ve been doing.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 52: Finishing Touch (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“It is a shame that we cannot see this through. airport I will make sure I kill you the next time we meet.”

That was an obvious decision on his part. crystal If he was seriously keen on running away, no-one would be able to stop him including Lady Josephine the dimensional mage.

He must have decided that I wouldn’t be an easy foe.

However, his first goal was to leave this city, because he had to avoid the eyes of people who were assuming he was dead.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 52: Finishing Touch (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Before he could escape using the rune of Raidho, I declared to him.

– Thud!

“It is a duel. beacon Fermack Daman.”

But I was definitely not going to let that happen.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 52: Finishing Touch (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Of course you do. arrow Fermack Daman. altitude Because that is the Precept restricting you.”

“…I have no reason to respond to the duel of someone like you.”

“You…”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 52: Finishing Touch (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

〚I do not refuse duels.〛

He had the same Precept as me on his body, and the reason he could reach the power level of a Unique Grade was thanks to the support of his Precept.

Precepts were the ways of the great warriors of the Paradise of Shadows – a high-risk high-reward system that allowed you to become a lot stronger.

Fermack Daman seemed befuddled after realizing that I even knew about the Precept that was engraved on his body.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 52: Finishing Touch (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Since he had engraved that as his Restriction, refusing the duel was not an option for Fermack Daman.

“Because duels must be one-on-one.”

“Is that… why you came here by yourself?”

Right – the reason I came here alone without bringing Lady Josephine or other members of the party was simple. aluminum It was because Fermack didn’t need to accept duels when outnumbered.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 52: Finishing Touch (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Therefore, the only duels that were forced by the Restriction were one-on-one fights. amber If another person joined the duel, the Precept would grant the Rune Mage a ridiculous amount of power to overcome the situation.

But because I was here by myself, and because he had already seen the Rune of Duel Declaration… he had no choice but to accept my duel.

Most importantly, Fermack Daman would have immediately run away if he had two or more people as his opponent, because his mission was to retrieve the Primal Rune.

Duels had to be impartial, sacred and… at the same time, it had to be one versus one.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 52: Finishing Touch (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Fermack Daman postured himself and glared at me with the eyes of a warrior. anxiety In response, I held the Silver Spear in my hands. silence We both readied ourselves for the duel and following the sacred rules of a duel, we introduced ourselves.

“The 1st warrior of Tates Valtazar, the ‘King of Paradise’, Fermack Daman.”

He would certainly not be willing to bear the risk of going against the Restriction, which he had been keeping for decades.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 52: Finishing Touch (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

There were only 10 meters in between us.

That would be the only difference between us two.

Victory and defeat.

“The 1st spear of Erin Danua, the ‘Queen of Paradise’, Korin Lork.”

After some time, the uproar will subside and others might surround them. echo Fermack had to go with a short decisive battle.

The enemy was someone who had been fighting against Lunia Arden on equal grounds, although momentarily. galaxy Besides, his Precepts were also unclear.

He was Grade 1 at the very least, and could even be considered a semi-Unique Grade.

On the other hand, Korin knew what Fermack’s Precepts were about. alien At least he knew exactly what his Restriction was.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 52: Finishing Touch (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

– I shall use my everything to crush you.

Fermack gave an arrogant statement before gathering mana at his fingers to write down runes.

“It is rather annoying but I will admit it.”

[ᛊ] — Sowilo

This fortress that turned the barren plot of land more desolate than ever, and swallowed it with the deep darkness of the abyss was a portion of the otherworldly Paradise that existed somewhere beyond the dimensional gap.

Something dark began to infiltrate the real world. apron The fortress covered the sun like a screen and did not allow any light to pervade inside.

A glimpse into the abandoned Paradise.

Runes of the sun erupted out in retaliation. accent However, after the heavy shadows of the huge fortress came to contact with the ground, they weighed down from above with its immense weight, destroyed the runes carved on the ground and spread across endless darkness.

A world without a sun.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 52: Finishing Touch (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

The fortress of shadows devoured all the nearby light as if it loathed the sun that refused to shed light unto their world.

“…”

“With your petty skills, you won’t be able to remove this shadow. adjust Your defeat has been decided the moment this fortress arrived here.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 52: Finishing Touch (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Demonic beasts of the Shadow Realm crawled into the enclosed fortress. alien They faced the two infiltrators of the Paradise with endless hostility and hatred.

Removing the shadow with solar runes. legend It was a great idea but he probably had no idea about this point of entry into the Paradise, which had only been permitted to the great warriors of the Paradise.

– Grrrhhh…!

– Kyaoooh…!

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 52: Finishing Touch (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

However, Fermack was confident because his 3rd Precept, the Pledge 〚I will serve the Shadow.〛 gave him a ridiculous amount of power when inside the Paradise.

This was a double-edged sword to Fermack – these demonic beasts would attack him as well.

Now, the only future ahead of Korin Lork was either being ripped to pieces by the demonic beasts of the Paradise of Shadows or being killed by his fists, and yet…

“Right. atom I knew you would use this when you’re in a rush.”

Korin scavenged through the bag which had been on him from the start, and took out something from inside that was covered with ‘dirt’.

Within the world covered and walled off by the shadows, Fermack, who had become used to darkness due to wearing sunglasses all the time, spotted a grin on Korin’s lips.

“…”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 52: Finishing Touch (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“…Kieee?”

Korin’s lips curled up with a haughty light. ability He was smiling.

The plant that looked like a human gave out an adorable gasp. legend It was radiating in bright gold despite being inside the Paradise of Shadows.

– Flop!

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 52: Finishing Touch (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Yellow Gold Mandrake.

Countless runes carved on the ground; an empty plot of land; and Fermack’s hidden trump card which could nullify any locational disadvantage.

There was no way Korin Lork hadn’t been expecting this move from him, and that was why he took out this very item right here and then.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 52: Finishing Touch (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

The Golden Mandrake howled inside the fortress of shadows which had landed on the empty plot of land. academy That enclosed structure, which would echo from the softest of whispers, was filled with the scream of a Mandrake.

KIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKK!!!!!!!

It was the medicinal herb which he did not pluck out despite its astonishing effect – the hidden item that had 7 times the noise and magic damage of a normal Mandrake.
