I Killed an Academy Player

Previous Chairman, Bihu.

Previous previous Chairman, Biren.

Josephine Clara was an old professor of the Academy who had been here for over 80 years. anchor She was one of the old bigshots who had constantly been the Senior Professor of Merkarva Academy, and yet she had never been the Chairman in those 80 years.

Why?

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 55: Finishing Touch (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Lady Josephine had never been in charge of the Academy, even though it wasn’t strange for her to have been the Chairman the whole time during those 80 years as the genius witch of history and a master at dimensional spells.

All three of them were rookies who had all suddenly appeared out of nowhere and had less ability and fame than Lady Josephine.

Current Chairman, Casarr.

“Sorry for sending your friends outside. antique It is something that has to be done in secret, after all.”

“I understand.”

The reason for that was simple.

The position of the Chairman had always been reserved for one person.

She was still testing things out. alpha In order to quickly progress our conversation, I tossed the Primal Rune that I collected from Fermack.

“Hmm…”

“Firstly, there are a few questions that we have to ask you. advance Please understand that we cannot gloss over this with ease, unlike what happened with Student Marie.”

Eriu Casarr, Lady Josephine Clara, and I were the only ones left behind in the hospital room. athlete It seemed that most of our encounters in this iteration were happening at the infirmary.

“…”

Lady Josephine immediately responded with a dimensional spell as if she perceived that as an attack. aspect The rune of the Prime vanished in the air before soon reappearing on her palm.

– Vuung!

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 55: Finishing Touch (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Professor Fermack was a spy.”

“…”

After that, she glared daggers at me, but I could sense that she wasn’t sure whether she was supposed to show goodwill or hostility against me.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 55: Finishing Touch (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Even though there was no proof to back up my claim, the two should have noticed something after seeing his corpse.

Precept.

The two of them lamented after hearing my words. atlas A professor of the Academy who had been working for 10 years was actually a spy and the mastermind of this incident.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 55: Finishing Touch (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

A vow to the world that was engraved on the bodies of the great warriors of Shadow Paradise. afford There weren’t many people who knew of this ancient ability that offered a great amount of power to its user at the cost of high risk.

“Do you know who sent him in as a spy?”

But there was still something that the two of them were unaware of.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 55: Finishing Touch (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Tates Valtazar. antenna Fermack Daman is that man’s disciple.”

“Well… That’s something for us to investigate…”

And how long will that take? athlete Probably after the 4th Arc or something. accent Instead of waiting until that point, I decided to tell them beforehand.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 55: Finishing Touch (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Lady Josephine reacted with an agitated voice before quickly shutting her mouth. academy Eriu Casarr’s eyes were also trembling in disbelief.

“That can’t be! 80 years ago, we…!”

“Six Ways of the Spear. arrow Void. adopt Precept. harbor Don’t tell me you don’t know them, because you’re the one who taught him everything. arrow For your reference, that’s the same for me.”

“…”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 55: Finishing Touch (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“…Don’t tell me you…”

And yet here I was telling them that I had also learned them. sphere In other words, the conclusion they would come up with about me was…

The three above-mentioned abilities were all secrets of the race of Paradise. arena More importantly, Void, which came off of Six Ways of the Spear, was a technique that only had two users in the contemporary times.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 55: Finishing Touch (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“You’re Valtazar’s disciple…!”

One flick of her fingers and I would be swallowed by the plagued corpses of Partholon, but…

‘Partholon’, the most threatening of all the shredded Shadow Paradise, huh. echo She was more serious than I thought.

A dimensional fissure appeared in an instant. accent Beyond the fissure that was activated with more speed than before were all sorts of corpses drooling while waiting to pounce at me.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 55: Finishing Touch (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

I cursorily carved a rune in the air that meant ‘to close’ as the door to the dimension was forcibly shut down.

“Please stop with the bluff. shadow It’s not like you’re going to kill people without being sure of their identity.”

“…!?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 55: Finishing Touch (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Do as she says. apple The Chairman here is just a spare body anyway, right? meadow I’m sure the true body is not even in the state to leave the Castle just yet.”

“But, Chairman!”

“Clara. atomic Please cancel your spells.”

Lady Josephine was shocked by the fact that her dimensional spell had been shut down by a single rune. adapt There were still tens of activated spells that were ready to be fired at me, but she must be shocked that I dispelled that particular one.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 55: Finishing Touch (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“…”

“King of Iron Mountain? auction That’s just the beginning.”

“You… What exactly…”

Even Chairman Eriu was surprised after hearing those words. shadow Undoing the cast restricting my arm, I stood up from the bed and slowly walked to the young man… or rather, my Master, who should be controlling that humanoid doll.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 55: Finishing Touch (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

You guys won’t be enough to stop him.

Hearing that, Chairman Eriu slowly started to take several steps away from me. arcade Her one and only mistake laid in her past indecisive action, which had been the result of her affection for her disciple.

“Your disciple, Valtazar is still alive and has built up power. shadow He has become a lot stronger than before, and he’s no longer alone either.”

“Because of your hesitation 80 years ago.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 55: Finishing Touch (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

I reminded her of her mistake and pushed her into a corner. acid I made her traumatic memories to resurface.

“Now, because of the betrayal of your trusted disciple, the Prime has scattered all across the world. anchor And you have only managed to recover two of them.”

One of them was the Primal Rune swallowed by the King of Iron Mountain. adopt I reminded them how that one would have also been stolen without my help.

“He survived and is now threatening this world.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 55: Finishing Touch (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

She admitted it. aluminum She had no choice but to admit the truth – the existence of Fermack Daman, who had been waiting for the right opportunity after infiltrating the Academy 10 years ago, was the proof.

Without giving them time to organize their thoughts, I pushed them further into a corner.

“…”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 55: Finishing Touch (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

The original world of the race of Danu. amber When the path to Paradise comes down, Tates Valtazar would enter it while carrying the 4 treasures in his hands.

There was no way that Erin Danua wouldn’t know what that meant as the ‘Queen’.

Paradise.

“The great stone of destiny, Lia Fail, is in the hands of Tates Valtazar. acoustic And he probably has most of the 4 treasures of Danu already.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 55: Finishing Touch (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Biren 80 years ago. legend Bihu 50 years ago. acoustic And now Casarr.

I uncovered her secret.

“After a proper coronation, Tates Valtazar won’t be an usurper anymore. adapt What comes next is very predictable, right? meadow Erin Danua?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 55: Finishing Touch (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

That was her biggest mistake as a teacher who had taught innumerable disciples, and here I was throwing those facts at her face.

“What exactly… is your goal?”

The guilt that she couldn’t deal with Tates Valtazar; and the regret that she had raised someone like him up as her future successor.

She, who used to observe the world using the body made of rune stone and all those fake names, was being shaken by my flood of extraordinary information.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 55: Finishing Touch (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

They were under the impression that I was an evil disciple of the Evil King, the usurper Tates Valtazar, and yet there was a very contradictory Precept engraved on my body. airport I had revealed all my hands and gave them my most crucial information, and yet the two of them were the ones that stepped back in shock.

I took off my clothes in front of ‘her’, who was in the shape of a man.

Above the scars and wounds was the indestructible Precept on my body. audit Josephine and Erin, my Master, gasped after seeing it.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 55: Finishing Touch (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Pushing her further into the corner, I placed my hand on the wall next to her and gazed down into her eyes. athlete I saw the stupefied look on my Master’s face. palette Even the fake body was unable to conceal her clear blue eyes.

“…Are you trying to stop him?”

“We have the same goal in mind.”

“To protect this world, I will gladly become your first spear. amber You can even treat me like a hound.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 55: Finishing Touch (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

『Child, I am an adult. aspect As long as I am an adult, I have the duty to prioritize your safety as a child.』

Even so, I wanted this person to live.

I was showing a very oppressive and insolent attitude but… there was no other way around it. acquire There were too many suspicious parts about me for us to form a regular relationship of trust.

Her back which she showed me at the end, was still a vivid and painful memory.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 55: Finishing Touch (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

At the end of that chamber was a dark throne of stone, sleeping on which was a single lady.

This time, it was my turn to protect her.

****

It was a dark palace with no signs of sunlight. timber There was a red carpet on the floor, and the only source of light was from the ambient lighting of the lamp stone.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 55: Finishing Touch (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Her hair which seemed to have been made from melting silver was reflecting the light from the lamp stone to brighten up the dark throne.

“Erin.”

Visiting her in that lonesome place was her one and only friend.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 55: Finishing Touch (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

A blonde-haired lady entered the palace through a dimensional gate. alert Josephine walked towards the lady sitting on the throne, who slowly opened her blue eyes in response.

Josephine’s emerald eyes weren’t as resolute as usual. abandon Even she was confused, and that served to show just how shocking everything they heard today was.

“I… am against it.”

For about 100 years, Josephine had been living with Erin Danua… who was currently indulging in her past memories.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 55: Finishing Touch (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

This was the result of her past inaction, and she had to take responsibility for it.

However, she was betrayed by that trusted disciple and hesitated at the last second when she was supposed to deal the final blow.

Just like she did to Josephine, Erin had showered Tates with love, if not more. arena She, who had been alive since the ancient times, had been looking for a successor and had been considering Tates as the inheritor to the throne.

“Tates… is still alive.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 55: Finishing Touch (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“I know. audit I… shouldn’t easily trust people.”

“Erin…”

He was a strong-willed boy with burning red eyes. arcade What exactly was he, she wondered.

“Can we… trust him?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 55: Finishing Touch (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Let’s keep an eye. crystal For now… we can’t be sure of anything.”

“Yes.”

What she received in return for her trust was the betrayal 80 years ago. amateur She couldn’t easily trust the boy called Korin Lork, who had suddenly appeared like a comet, nor should she. timber However…

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 55: Finishing Touch (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

But one thing she just couldn’t understand was…

Even though he stopped Fermack from retrieving the Primal Rune… and even though he had vowed to save the world… there was still the possibility of everything being a trap to deceive her.

“Why… was he looking at me so pitifully?”

As someone who was bearing a large burden, it was an obvious choice. adapt She couldn’t bear more risk.

On the last day of the semester at Merkarva Academy was the grade adjustment ceremony, where they reassigned grades to students depending on their achievement.

****

This grade adjustment was very important. adapt The ones given during the admission were temporary student ranks, whereas these ones were official grades assigned by the Guardian Alliance.

Was she imagining things? timber The silver queen re-entered her slumber with unresolved doubt lingering in her mind.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 55: Finishing Touch (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Uun… Korin, do you want potatoes?”

I took the baked potato that was in her hands. silence The peeled potato had sugar seasoned on top, which was my favorite way of consuming potatoes.

In other words, it was possible for students to have the qualification of a real guardian despite staying a student, depending on the results of this adjustment.

“It’s amazing as always.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 55: Finishing Touch (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Hehe. academy Right?”

“Senior. apron Why did you cook so many potatoes today?”

I inquired while helping her give out potatoes. aluminum Actually, around 20 of Marie’s friends were already volunteering to give out potatoes. legend Looking at how they all seemed used to the task, this seemed to be a regular event.

All the students were at the Festival Hall for the last-day-of-semester ceremony, and Marie was giving out potatoes to everyone. palette She had already given it to about 100 people, and she was still going at it.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 55: Finishing Touch (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Why exactly do you have a warehouse of potatoes inside the Academy? legend Interesting…

“Today’s the last day of the semester! apple Everyone will be leaving, so we have to bake and give out all the potatoes in the warehouse. adjust Otherwise they’ll go bad!”

“…You have a warehouse?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 55: Finishing Touch (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Thank you everyone for your amazing work. artist Your astounding growth over this semester has been the model growth of our Academy and…”

“Nn!”

We were handing out the potatoes while Chairman Eriu Casarr… or rather, Erin Danua my Master, finished with her speech. audit The grade adjustment was about to start very soon.

“Shall we head over?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 55: Finishing Touch (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“We will now be introducing the students who will be receiving an adjustment to their grades.”

………

……

…

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 55: Finishing Touch (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

That was natural because freshmen students only took mandatory courses and simple missions from the Mission Board, so it was hard to have enough achievements for a grade adjustment.

Besides, it was rare to call freshmen students for something dangerous.

The students walked up to the stage one by one as the Chairman called out their names. antenna Most of them were seniors of the Academy.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 55: Finishing Touch (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

The crowd buzzed, but it was still positive as if it was within their scope of imagination.

“Highest-achieving student of the 2nd year Magic Department, Marie Dunareff.”

Marie had been a Grade 1 mage at the start of the semester. canvas Most of the students of the Academy graduated with Grade 1 at best.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 55: Finishing Touch (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Student Marie has experienced an unfortunate event, but has proven herself with her indomitable spirit and has greatly assisted with preventing the accident at the laboratory from going out of hand.”

Despite that, she was going through another adjustment, which was even faster than Lunia Arden.

In fact, it was very rare for the 4th year students to even reach Grade 1, and yet Marie was a prodigy among prodigies for reaching Grade 1 at the 2nd semester of her 1st year at the Academy.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 55: Finishing Touch (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

It was impossible not to raise her grade considering her overwhelming strength.

However, there were things she did as the helper of Professor Deina’s experiment, and the biggest reason was her mana capacity breaking through the roof after turning into a vampire.

Marie’s achievement in terms of missions this semester was close to being zero, because she wasn’t even allowed to leave the city after becoming a vampire.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 55: Finishing Touch (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Wahh…!”

“Guardian Marie Dunareff. silence With the recommendations of Merkarva Academy’s Chairman, Eriu Casarr and Dina Grandeia, the president of the Southern Guardian Alliance, we assign you to the rank of Semi-Unique Grade.”

Besides, it was only thanks to her holding back the King of Iron Mountain for a long time, that the Academy had a lot less victims than what the situation called for.

“That’s insane!”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 55: Finishing Touch (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

To be honest, Marie was already as strong as a Unique Grade, but the requirements to be considered a Unique Grade were slightly different for demons and guardians. arcade Besides, it was also extremely rare for demons to become guardians so the standards weren’t very clear.

At the end of the adjustment announcement for the 2nd year students alongside Marie, the crowd was bustling up after perhaps thinking that the ceremony was almost over, but unfortunately for them, it wasn’t over just yet.

Even though it wasn’t anything unexpected, everyone cheered out loud after seeing her grade actually go up, because this was the legendary moment of the history’s youngest semi-Unique Grade guardian.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 55: Finishing Touch (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

There were a lot of hidden secrets about the matter including both the King of Iron Mountain and the betrayal of Fermack Daman.

“We will now be calling out the names of freshmen students who had actively participated in reducing the magnitude of the incident that occurred at the laboratory along with Student Marie.”

The crowd buzzed in response. orbit The King of Iron Mountain incident was known to have been an extremely dangerous one, but the beast never ended up leaving the laboratory so there were only few things known about the incident.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 55: Finishing Touch (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

One by one, the named freshmen characters walked up to the stage. aluminum They weren’t surprised or anything because they had already received a letter beforehand.

There were already four freshmen students that were getting a promotion in their grade at the adjustment ceremony of the 1st semester. agent It was definitely unprecedented and was thus received by a heated discussion.

“From the Magic Department, Yuel and Kranel Luden. adapt From the Knights Department, Alicia Arden, Dorron Warsky…”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 55: Finishing Touch (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Taking into account their achievements thus far and their dedication at the laboratory, Students Yuel, Kranel, Alicia and Dorron will be officially promoted from Grade 2 to semi-Grade 1.”

Hearing my name, I confidently headed to the stage. wizard The fake body of my Master, Eriu Casarr, was on the stage presenting news about our promotion.

“And lastly, Korin Lork.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 55: Finishing Touch (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

It was an unprecedented promotion. academy With this, our grade also gained the extraordinary record of having four semi-Grade 1 students with none being in Grade 2.

My name was finally called.

There was a deal I had made with my Master.

“And lastly, Student Korin Lork… was a Grade 5 guardian but…”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 55: Finishing Touch (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

– What? altitude Grade 1?

– How does that even make sense?

“Looking at his remarkable fights and his exceptional achievement, and with the recommendations of the 3 people: Chairman Eriu Casarr, Senior Professor Josephine Clara and Professor Haman Welsch, we proclaim his promotion into Grade 1.”

– He came in as a Grade 5 and became a Grade 1 in just one semester?!

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 55: Finishing Touch (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

It was a grade given after some negotiations under the table with the Guardian Alliance.

Grade 5 Knight -> Grade 1 Knight.

Korin Lork.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 55: Finishing Touch (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“At last.”

Finally, I now had more social power and the right to create a guild of guardians.
