I Killed an Academy Player

Hey buddy. arrow That wasn’t very elegant was it? riddle You need to put your etiquette mask back on!

“What did you say?”

“No. acid I don’t want to.”

“…What?”

“Listen. alert Junior…”

“And if we are talking about hierarchy, it is you who should be showing your respects, Sir Vlandria.”

“We are not in the Academy, Senior.”

“???”

“What do you…”

Levent frowned as if he couldn’t understand what I was saying.

“It means that I have a higher rank than semi-Grade 1, Sir Vlandria.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 60: Suspiciously… (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

“How could a freshman be a Grade 1 Knight? arrow It is not wise to tell lies that…”

“That’s nonsense…!”

The young noble masters buzzed and whispered to themselves after hearing me imply that I was a Grade 1 Knight.

“Korin was promoted at the same time as me. apple I can guarantee it.”

Marie was the one who refuted Levent’s words.

“He’s not lying.”

That was the guarantee of Marie, the lady from Dunareff Dukedom, who became a semi-Unique Grade mage before the age of 20. artist She was at the pinnacle of the southern regions of the continent and there was thus no-one that could talk back to her.

I gently grabbed Marie by the shoulder and pulled her towards me as she then landed in my chest.

“Marie’s first dance is mine, you see.”

Levent Vlandria stubbornly held on as if he couldn’t back down yet.

“B, but even then…!”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 60: Suspiciously… (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

Now, what did it mean for me to do something like this, you might ask?

“K, Ko, Ko, Ko, Ko, Korin…!”

‘I am so close to Marie that I can even hug her like this and I am free to do so. alpha You are the one that needs to go away.’ – That was what I was suggesting with my action.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 60: Suspiciously… (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

Marie mumbled something from my chest but I didn’t really hear what she said. auction It was probably embarrassing but she had to hold on a bit because this was the fastest way to get rid of these people.

I used to think she was a very bad-tempered princess, but now I could somewhat agree with her words.

Seeing them made me recall how the 1st Princess said that the envious face of a man was the most humorous sight out there.

While openly hugging Marie, I gave a victorious smile to the infuriated young noble masters.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 60: Suspiciously… (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

“…Yesh.”

“Marie. aspect Can you please dance with me first?”

“You are very popular, aren’t you senior?”

She replied with her head stooping low. altitude For starters, we walked away from the crowd of young masters.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 60: Suspiciously… (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

“N, nn…”

“N, no! auction It was feisty and I actually liked… N, nothing!”

Things became a little awkward. riddle It might have been a bit embarrassing for her… I felt slightly sorry, so this time, I decided to be more polite, like a gentleman.

“Was that a bit too violent? arrow Sorry if that put you in a bad mood.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 60: Suspiciously… (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

Resting on one of my knees, I raised one of my hands and lowered my head. anchor After being frozen stiff for a while, she grabbed my hand with a full smile blooming on her face.

– Kiss!

After kissing her on the back of her hand, I offered with a soft voice.

“Will you please dance to a song with me, my Lady?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 60: Suspiciously… (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

‘This is not good…’

We walked to the dance hall hand-in-hand. advance The sound of footsteps loudly echoed from Marie’s clear glass shoes as we walked forward with a minimal distance between us.

“With pleasure!”

Stopping our feet, we looked at each other. audit Behind Marie, I could see that everyone’s eyes were on us.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 60: Suspiciously… (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

Gently holding onto both of Marie’s hands, I guided her on.

Whatever the case, the music began and we were at the center of the hall. orbit Matching ourselves with the pace of everyone around us and the music, we started to dance.

Even I was feeling quite embarrassed now, and I became worried that she might notice the speed of my heartbeat.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 60: Suspiciously… (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

– Clomp!

“Hmm…”

Honestly, I wasn’t that confident in banquet dances since I only tried it a few times and only had some superficial knowledge about it, but it wasn’t that distressing since it was something that required a physical movement. antenna However…

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 60: Suspiciously… (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Ugh… Sorry. shadow I’m not good at dancing.”

Unexpectedly, the flower of this banquet, Marie, was fairly clumsy with dancing. aluminum It was her second time stepping on my feet and it was quite painful because she was wearing hard heels.

“S, sorry!”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 60: Suspiciously… (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

Marie sweated profusely while trying not to step on my feet. meadow Since she was now intentionally trying to avoid my feet, her steps turned more stiff which ended up interrupting the pace of our dance.

It seemed that she just wasn’t good at everything that required her to move her body because otherwise, it would be hard to explain how someone at her social position couldn’t dance.

“Place your foot on top of my left foot. palette Let’s dance like that.”

Seeing the reddened face of my partner, I quietly whispered into her ears in a voice that only she could hear.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 60: Suspiciously… (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

“I, isn’t that…”

“My shoes might get a bit dirty and our dance might not be the most aesthetically pleasing one to see, but that’s all there is to it.”

“H, huh? anchor But then…”

Marie mumbled while glancing at the crowd that was focusing their eyes on her. aspect Even though she didn’t need to be conscious of anyone else, she couldn’t help but notice everyone else’s gaze when they were blatantly looking at her like this.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 60: Suspiciously… (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

Honestly, I even wanted to do some breakdancing right now, but it created a commotion when I did that in the last iteration, so I had to hold back on that one.

Even when I was at the college welcome party; even when I was at a club, and even when I came to a banquet for the first time in this world, what I always thought to myself was that dance was a fun entertainment activity that was fine as long as you enjoyed it yourself.

Acrobatic rock and roll and breakdancing was a bit too much for the people of this era.

“You don’t need to worry about anyone else right now. acquire Just focus your eyes on me, your partner. crystal All you need to do in a dance is enjoy it.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 60: Suspiciously… (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

Saying that, I looked into her bright golden eyes. alien Her quivering eyes became stable again after we stared at each other for a while and before long, we started to smile at the same time.

“Now. alien Place your foot on my foot and follow after me. august Your eyes are good, right? aluminum Look at my eyes, look at my feet and read whether I’m trying to pull or push you.”

I returned the advice I received before to Marie.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 60: Suspiciously… (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

After the song was over, we walked away from the center of the dancing hall.

Under the bright lights of the banquet hall — she and I danced together and shared a dreamy moment together.

In alignment with the beautiful melodies of the orchestra, Marie did a spin on her foot with the support of my arm embracing her waist.

“Lady! aspect If you may please…!”

A refreshing breeze swept across as soon as we let go of each other’s hands, and that reminded us how the warmth from before was due to us clinging onto each other. arctic Even though both of us had superhuman stamina, we still had to collect our breath and settle our fever.

“No! wizard Please let me have the honor of…!”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 60: Suspiciously… (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Sorry. athlete I’m a bit tired and would love to take a short break.”

Guys ran in at her without even giving her the time to have a break. voyage In response, Marie raised her arms with an apologetic and troubled look on her face.

It was the right of a gentleman to ask for a dance, but it was the right of a lady to accept or refuse the offer. beacon When Marie talked about having a break, the guys had no other option but to retreat back while hiding their dejection.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 60: Suspiciously… (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

We unhesitatingly left the banquet hall as laments echoed from behind.

Walking up to Count Casseus, we talked to him about how we would like to visit the office as we had mentioned beforehand and received his permission. aluminum The Count seemed slightly disappointed by the fact that his son didn’t get to create good ties with Marie, but wasn’t in the position to complain about it.

“Shall I guide you to the resting lounge, Lady?”

“I would appreciate that, Sir Korin.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 60: Suspiciously… (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

Well, they were probably swearing at me for taking Marie away from them.

“Ahh…”

“Lady Marie is being taken away by that scrub…”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 60: Suspiciously… (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Wow~ did you see that?”

“Dancing with their feet piled together… How romantic.”

“Yes I did.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 60: Suspiciously… (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Did you see that bright smile on Lady Marie’s face? apple That is 100%, right?”

“I would say it is definitely above 99%.”

“The gentleman was very considerate. ability It was a clumsy but amazing dance.”

****

Using the key we received from Count Casseus, we opened the office and entered the antique-looking room.

Ignoring the words of those behind us, we headed straight away to Sebancia Duke’s office.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 60: Suspiciously… (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

“So this is the office of Sebancia Duke, huh…”

Sebancia Duke.

The bookshelves were full of old books made of orc skin. echo From what I heard, it seemed that Count Casseus kept this office as it was without touching anything.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 60: Suspiciously… (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

He was the grand general who had the entire continent under his command 800 years ago. alert He was a legendary figure and a Hero of the kingdom.

Since this was the actual castle and office used by someone like that, Count Casseus must have kept things as is since moving things around would be a waste.

You could say he was like the combination of Yi Sun-sin[mfn]Yi Sun-sin: A famous historical figure of Joseon Dynasty in Korea who held off the Japanese navy during their invasion. autumn Famous for making the turtle ship and the Battle of Myeongnyang where he defeated 133 Japanese ships with 13 of his own. atlas There is also a movie about the Battle of Myeongnyang.[/mfn] and Cheok Jun-gyeong[mfn]*Cheok Jun-gyeong: Called the Sword Master of the Korean Peninsula, he is widely believed by Koreans to have been the strongest swordsman of Korea throughout history.[/mfn].

“Hmm~. echo Anything is fine. atlas Let’s try to look for Sebancia Duke’s traces.”

“Nn!”

“Korin. august What are we looking for here?”

Who knows, this castle might become a famous tourist attraction after a century.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 60: Suspiciously… (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

“This…”

This was the article written by Cecilia Duke and was an item describing the histories of Ruina, the wife, and Cecilia, the daughter, that the player had to search for in the game for Sebancia Duke’s questline.

『Story of the Duke Duchy』

Marie and I started searching through the office. acoustic I first went to the bookshelves and found a familiar journal.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 60: Suspiciously… (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Uahh, I can’t find anything!”

For a long time we searched through the office in vain. arctic Drenched in sweat, we threw our body on the couch.

Taking this item to Sebancia Duke was the way to complete Sebancia Duke’s quest.

But even in the game and in the last iteration, he never talked about ‘searching the office’ so what exactly was it that we needed to look for?

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 60: Suspiciously… (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Hmm…”

“It’s certainly not easy.”

We mindlessly searched through the office but couldn’t really find anything. abandon Adding this up with my experience from the last iteration, I had a feeling that we wouldn’t be able to find anything at this rate.

“Are there any clues? orbit I was expecting to find some kind of secret passage but there’s nothing!”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 60: Suspiciously… (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Yes?”

“I didn’t have time to… Umm, Korin?”

“Did you not eat anything at the banquet hall?”

“Uhh… I’m hungry.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 60: Suspiciously… (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

“…”

“Not sure if I mentioned this already but… your neckline and your collarbone are really pretty, Korin.”

That gaze on her eyes was a signal that was naturally formed as we started this relationship. timber Undoing my tie, I placed it on top of the coat that I took off a long time ago as Marie started deeply staring at my neck.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 60: Suspiciously… (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

“I might smell like sweat a little, but please bear with me.”

“O, of course, you’re very nice and handsome too!”

“…I would prefer hearing handsome over pretty though.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 60: Suspiciously… (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Even bette… I mean, don’t worry!”

“Uhh… can I start?”

In a fluster, she sat on my lap with me still sitting on the couch.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 60: Suspiciously… (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

I could feel her sharp fangs digging into my skin, as her soft lips rested on my neck.

She carefully buried her face into my neck after seeing me nod.

– Stab

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 60: Suspiciously… (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

—The sound of a gulp and heated breaths echoed at a regular pace. alien After who knows how long…

– Gulp! galaxy Gulp! atom Haaaa…

I opened my eyes and took a deep breath and Marie flinched in response, but she refused to move away. harbor It seemed that she still hadn’t had her fill yet.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 60: Suspiciously… (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

My blood was being sucked out in an irregular direction. atom At the start, it felt a bit spooky because it felt like my life was being drained away but these days…

‘It feels like I’m sharing my life with her.’

“———”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 60: Suspiciously… (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

Indulged in sucking my blood, Marie pressed her body on mine and squeezed my body. apron As if trying to make up for the decrease in my body temperature as a result of having less blood, she increased our touching surface area and squeezed me towards her in an attempt to bring our hearts together or something.

Perhaps thanks to Pain Tolerance, it wasn’t painful in the slightest now that we repeated this process a few times.

– Squash!

“Huu…”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 60: Suspiciously… (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

What I could tell from her rushed and heated breath was that Marie was frantically craving my blood without even taking a break. crystal And the heat being conveyed from her cheeks was a sign of her satisfaction.

Now that I had more room to take in the surroundings after my heart started fiercely pumping out more blood, I gazed down at Marie mindlessly sucking my blood.

“Gulp. academy Haaaah…”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 60: Suspiciously… (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Haaaah…”

“Nn…”

“Are you done drinking?”

After mindlessly drinking my blood, she powerlessly leaned on my body while gasping for breath. album Her chin rested on my shoulders as we both took some time to take a breather.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 60: Suspiciously… (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

Unlike my heart that was furiously thumping out blood, Marie’s heart was beating at a softer yet more frequent pace.

– Thump thump…!

We had a moment of silence without saying anything.

I could hear her heartbeat across the aligned chest.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 60: Suspiciously… (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

I waited a bit for her to calm down and regain her sense of self.

After a while, she raised her head back up from my neck and retreated, but she still had a dreamy look on her face as if she had yet to wake up from the pleasure of sucking blood.

“S, sorry… I drank too much right?”

“I regenerate just as much so don’t worry. acquire It doesn’t hurt either.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 60: Suspiciously… (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

I wiped the leftover blood around my neck and soon, my skin wriggled and refilled the wound with flesh. arena The Regeneration of the Tenacious Warrior was at work like always.

“Ah, it’s okay. voyage Life is about helping each other, isn’t it?”

“Nnn… Sorry. ability When I drink fresh blood… my body doesn’t feel like my own.”

『Regeneration of the Tenacious Warrior』

Wait a second.

“Hmm?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 60: Suspiciously… (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

Suddenly, a trail of thought sparked across my head so I immediately said to Marie.

『Soul Warrior』

A grimoire that we gained from Sebancia Duke at the secret area in the Great Library…

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 60: Suspiciously… (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Senior. alert Can you summon Doggo?”

Doggo immediately gained a form from within her shadow. palette Since his usual body existed in real life, he was closer to a demonic beast than a demonic spirit.

“Hnn? alert Okay. afford Doggo.”

“Senior. ability Can you make the summon dimmer?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 60: Suspiciously… (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

A vampire’s familiar was by nature a spiritual existence that could gain access to a body using the blood and mana of their master as a catalyst. canvas In other words, just like how gaining a body was possible, going the other way around was also equally doable.

“What do you mean?”

“Okay. absorb Doggo. arctic Can you hold on for a little?”

“Make him closer to an astral body… like how he would look before obtaining a body.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 60: Suspiciously… (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

After a while, he was no longer visible to my eyes that could not perceive spirits, and…

Doggo seemed discontent from the fact that his body would now go through a semi-destruction and wailed, but Marie started demolishing his body and made him closer to an astral body.

– Woof!

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 60: Suspiciously… (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

It was then.

A faint chilliness started to fill the office. armor Since I could also perceive this sudden drop in temperature, it was definitely not because of a spirit.

“Senior Marie. harbor Be caref…!?”

– Sheeeeeeek!!

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 60: Suspiciously… (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

A thick layer of pressure oppressed my body along with a sticky reverberation of mana. august This was something I was used to.

Thud—!!

My vision turned upside down before I could even say anything.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 60: Suspiciously… (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

Everything flipped upside down and by the time I reopened my eyes, I was at a pitch-black location that was full of darkness.

“A Blood Realm?”

“Ah~. acid I wish he explained this to us beforehand at the very least.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 60: Suspiciously… (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

And that raises a question –

Sebancia couldn’t even kill himself and had to constantly suffer from bloodsucking impulses and thus, what he chose to do was separate his body from his spirit. arctic After separating his spirit, he sealed it inside a book forever.

The one that was sealed inside the grimoire of the Great Library was the soul of Sebancia.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 60: Suspiciously… (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

He, who used to be revered as the strongest man of all time, turned even stronger after becoming a vampire. zenith At that point, he gained a body that was essentially unkillable.

The great and legendary Hero of all time.

Duke Sebancia Duke.

– The question raised was this. portal His soul was sealed, but what happened to the ‘body’ of the strong vampire called Sebancia Duke?

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 60: Suspiciously… (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Let me ask you, visitor. audit Why have you come to my castle?”

A man wearing crimson plated armor with long hair and a dignified beard opened his mouth while gazing at me.

“This was supposed to be something my soul left behind for my daughter. sphere I wonder why a random bloke came here with the scent of my soul.”

The answer to that question was right in front of my eyes.
