I Killed an Academy Player

In the west of the El Rath Kingdom were both Xeruem and Zeon, the two sacred chapels of two religions, while the south had fertile lands as well as a trade route with the archipelago underneath.

They were the guardians of the far east.

The most influential household of the south was the Dunareff, whereas the representative one of the east was the Arden, without any question.

Not a single time.

In the north was the North Kingdom, the union of barbarians, as well as wicked demons. academy The east had touching borders with the empire of pagans, but the biggest problem was the endless horde of demonic beasts that tended to come from the barren lands of the far east.

The north and the east of the kingdom had never been peaceful since the establishment of the kingdom.

On the other hand, the east and the north were the cause of distress for the kingdom, but were lands that had to be protected.

And if the citizens of the kingdom were asked about why that was possible, they would all shout out the name of the Arden family.

The front gates of the main family opened along with a sonorous roar as hundreds of Arden’s disciples welcomed us in.

“Captain Lunia has returned!!”

“Welcome, Captain!!”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 90: Arden, the Renowned Household of Swordsmanship (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Hmm…”

Even though I said hundreds, that was only when I was counting the ones wearing black uniforms. silence There were workers repairing the buildings and roofs as well as servants which added up to an incredibly large number.

Seeing hundreds of people bending their backs at once was an impressive sight that you wouldn’t even see in movies.

“Welcome back, Captain!!”

“Captain Lunia. antique Thanks for your work in hunting demonic beasts.”

“How are the other groups?”

The one that spoke to Lunia before anyone else was an old man who looked like a butler. palette Despite his slim body, he was definitely not a normal person which could be proven by the Chinese war sword hanging on his waist.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 90: Arden, the Renowned Household of Swordsmanship (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“All the groups have returned except for Groups 13 and 19.”

“Yes Captain. avalanche And…”

The old swordsman wearing butler clothes turned towards us. afford To be exact, he was looking at Alicia who was standing right next to me but Lunia opened her mouth before he could say anything.

“Send a messenger hawk and see what is going on. aluminum Have groups with fewer casualties on standby.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 90: Arden, the Renowned Household of Swordsmanship (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Alicia. voyage You come with me.”

“Understood.”

“Aht. admire Okay…”

“They’re her friends. alert Guide them to a place to stay at.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 90: Arden, the Renowned Household of Swordsmanship (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

With an intimidated look on her face, Alicia followed after Miss Lunia who was still giving off a chilly aura. avalanche Yuel seemed bugged by that sight, and asked after tugging at my sleeves.

“This is her house so she probably has her own room.”

“Where is Alicia going?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 90: Arden, the Renowned Household of Swordsmanship (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“…I see.”

We followed the butler to the guest rooms and unpacked our belongings in our designated rooms.

Two hours later, I was resting at the given room when the same butler came looking for me.

“Esteemed guests, please follow me.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 90: Arden, the Renowned Household of Swordsmanship (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Her house was as tranquil and rigid as herself, but the garden, ponds, and the antique pieces of artwork decorating the corridor indicated the position she had in the Arden family.

“Mister Korin Lork. athlete Captain Lunia is looking for you.”

Right, I was waiting for it. anxiety There was the talk about marriage, and there were a lot of things I wanted to ask her.

“This is Captain Lunia’s building.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 90: Arden, the Renowned Household of Swordsmanship (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Lunia was standing firmly and behind her was her house that would come out in a palace in Korean historical dramas.

“You’re here.”

She was one of the successor candidates. arctic If Alicia wasn’t there… no, even with Alicia there, Lunia was pretty much already set in stone as the future family head.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 90: Arden, the Renowned Household of Swordsmanship (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

As always, she was a very upright person. arcade Her long hair was falling down in a straight line as if they were being supported by metal frames, and despite the abundant lines of her body that couldn’t be hidden with a martial uniform, she still reminded others more of a grand general ruling over the world than a soft lady.

I sat down on a cushion in front of a small table and so did she, before picking up a teapot and pouring its content onto the pre-prepared cup.

“Why don’t we sit.”

“Sure.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 90: Arden, the Renowned Household of Swordsmanship (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“So, I heard you’re almost 18.”

“I am the same age as your sister.”

“Umm… Of course not.”

“I will ask just in case. acquire Are you married?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 90: Arden, the Renowned Household of Swordsmanship (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“If you do not have a partner yet, what do you think about marrying me?”

Picking up her own cup, she drank her tea. audit It was such a simple set of movements but even that was void of any noise.

“I see.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 90: Arden, the Renowned Household of Swordsmanship (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“…Are you serious?”

“Objectively speaking, you are a magnificent seed. afford Your martial talent, as well as your hard-work are exceptional. shadow And your face, well, I would say it’s not bad according to my standards.”

“Do I look like someone that would spout falsehood?”

She wasn’t… I had known this person for over 3 years and I had never seen her tell even the smallest of lies.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 90: Arden, the Renowned Household of Swordsmanship (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Please…!”

“I am also a woman. matrix Of course I would be interested in the face of my spouse that would embrace me at night… Do you by any chance have sexual dysfunction? anxiety That would be slightly problematic.”

“I didn’t know you cared about appearance as well.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 90: Arden, the Renowned Household of Swordsmanship (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Hmm. afford I thought boys your age are so healthy they think about marriage just from touching hands. alien If a woman at my level asks for your hand in marriage, I believe it would be normal to accept it at once.”

Noona! anchor Aren’t you a bit too straightforward?

“What exactly is your intention? altitude If you are suddenly asking for marriage, you should explain the reason to me at the very least.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 90: Arden, the Renowned Household of Swordsmanship (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“…For the most part.”

“Really?”

“Most teenage boys are stupid, but they are not stupid enough to decide about marriage just like that.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 90: Arden, the Renowned Household of Swordsmanship (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Well… Lunia was indeed a beauty. antenna Her body resembled that of a top-notch model and the abundant feminine lines of her body made her both cool and beautiful.

“Have you heard about Alicia becoming the Captain of the 5th Sword Squad?”

“Yes, I did.”

However, this was different from that. aspect Marrying into the family as the son-in-law was a totally different story.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 90: Arden, the Renowned Household of Swordsmanship (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Well, it was only a matter of time after beating me in the Sword Challenge. shadow I was going to make her go through a procedure and let her take over the 2nd or the 3rd Sword Squad, but…”

That was in the newspaper that I read before getting on the wyvern. acquire Even Alicia didn’t know about her own promotion but she had to become one because it was personally declared by the Sword Emperor, the previous family head, who still had an absolute position in the Arden family.

“That senile old man suddenly showed up and declared to make Alicia captain over the 5th Sword Squad.”

I had a rough understanding of the situation after hearing that.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 90: Arden, the Renowned Household of Swordsmanship (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“But how is Alicia becoming a captain related to you proposing for marriage?”

And that just happened to be when there was a reporter in the Arden family.

“The old man left immediately after saying that, so my supporters started fretting over it. arrow I’m sure you would understand as the one who gave advice to Alicia and came up with that cheeky plan.”

It was unfortunate timing – Garrand the Sword Emperor, who lived by himself in seclusion away from other people, suddenly showed up and appointed Alicia as the captain of the 5th Sword Squad.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 90: Arden, the Renowned Household of Swordsmanship (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

However, Lunia’s social position must have started wobbling after her defeat, because she, the alpha of her group, had lost and was no longer at an advantage in terms of skill.

Before, Lunia’s position in the Arden family was matchless. alien Even though both Lunia and Alicia were successor candidates, Alicia was far from her level in both legitimacy and skill.

I had a rough idea of what was going on.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 90: Arden, the Renowned Household of Swordsmanship (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Political marriage… is it?”

“Recovering the previous position with a political marriage. abstract It is definitely a strong political move.”

“Exactly. adjust Currently, there are many ongoing talks and proposals with the rich families of the east and famous swordsmen.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 90: Arden, the Renowned Household of Swordsmanship (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

I understood what was happening, but there was still an unresolved question in my mind.

“However, I do not like that. adopt I am too good to be treated like an item in the marriage market.”

“That is exactly correct.”

“Is that why you want to fake a marriage with me?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 90: Arden, the Renowned Household of Swordsmanship (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“But who would dare force you, Lunia Arden, to marry someone?”

“My mother.”

How could there be someone who could coerce that heaven-defying Lunia Arden to have a political marriage?

Although there was the saying that no parents in the world could win over their children, the opposite was also true.

“Ah…”

Alicia was stormed by visitors immediately after she unpacked her belongings in her room.

“Miss! amber Do you remember me? orbit I saw you back when you were very young; you have grown so much!”

“Miss Alicia! album I am Blah Blah Blah and I run a dojo in the village under Octagonal Mountain!”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 90: Arden, the Renowned Household of Swordsmanship (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

It was her first time seeing all their faces and she was also very unfamiliar with the expressions on their faces.

“It’s probably… because of grandpa.”

The atmosphere had changed ever since the Sword Challenge with Lunia, and even in the summer holiday, she had seen a few expectant people but it wasn’t to this degree. alien As for why they were being so explicit with their approach, she could only think of one reason.

Alicia was the result and proof of an illicit affair that wasn’t even from a concubine. apple That was why her presence was barely ever acknowledged in the Arden family.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 90: Arden, the Renowned Household of Swordsmanship (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“What is he thinking…?”

He was like the emperor of the Arden household. admire Sword Emperor Garrand – it was by his sudden demand that she had been appointed as the captain of the 5th Sword Squad.

It had been like that all along. altitude Garrand had ignored all the objections and had forced Alicia to become a successor candidate. agent It was ever since that day that she, the nuisance of the family, had turned into more of a nuisance that was ignored and disregarded.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 90: Arden, the Renowned Household of Swordsmanship (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

It was then. alien Someone walked into her room after pushing the door wide open.

– Thud!

“Miss. action This is a sword we made at our smithy…”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 90: Arden, the Renowned Household of Swordsmanship (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

She was a beautiful lady with jet-black hair and a sharp pair of eyes that resembled obsidian, who gave off a similar aura to Lunia.

“L, Lady Sophia…”

“Do you have any more business?”

Sophia glared at the merchants and dojo instructors that were visiting Alicia. silence She, the blood-related mother of Lunia Arden, was the lawful wife of the current family head, Jade Arden.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 90: Arden, the Renowned Household of Swordsmanship (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“N, no we do not!”

“M, mother…”

After receiving a glare from her, the uninvited guests hurriedly left the room. audit Before long, it was only Alicia and Sophia that were inside the room.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 90: Arden, the Renowned Household of Swordsmanship (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Yes… but I…!”

Her dark eyes turned to Alicia and she spoke with a voice that was as apathetic as her eyes. alien Ever since the beginning, Alicia couldn’t help but shrink tremendously when being on the receiving end of her gaze.

“I am sure you have heard it. avalanche Father has appointed you as the captain of the 5th Sword Squad.”

“Right. antenna It has been a while.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 90: Arden, the Renowned Household of Swordsmanship (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

There was no hint of condemnation nor criticism in her voice. auction Sophia simply stated facts with a composed voice.

“Father’s commands are absolute in Arden. anchor It will not be reversed by something as trivial as your opinion.”

“As the captain of the 5th Sword Squad, you shall push yourself for the glory of the family and the protection of humanity.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 90: Arden, the Renowned Household of Swordsmanship (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

It was a large single-edged sword that was so long that it was only a little bit shorter than Alicia herself.

After saying that, she placed down a sword.

– Clink!

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 90: Arden, the Renowned Household of Swordsmanship (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“…Okay.”

“That is the Commander’s Sword, the symbol of a captain. riddle Choose members of the household at will; command them and distinguish yourself during your stay.”

Alicia didn’t refute. advance Or rather, she couldn’t. autumn The attitude of obedience and submission that was engraved into her from childhood was always there.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 90: Arden, the Renowned Household of Swordsmanship (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

****

In spite of knowing that these people would never accept her until the end, she still obeyed them.

Alicia stumbled out of her room.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 90: Arden, the Renowned Household of Swordsmanship (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Walking out of her building, she was headed to the guest rooms when a familiar voice echoed from somewhere nearby.

“Well… sure. timber I guess it’s not a bad thing for me.”

Staying in her room would only make her meet more uninvited guests, and she thought training with Korin would be a better option.

“Good. adjust I will be waiting for a positive reply from you then.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 90: Arden, the Renowned Household of Swordsmanship (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Those were the voices of two people she was very used to. anxiety After realizing that it was a conversation between her older sister and Korin, Alicia quickly hid herself unconsciously.

“Ah…”

She then carefully looked at Lunia.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 90: Arden, the Renowned Household of Swordsmanship (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

『Korin Lork. riddle How about you marry me?』

Alicia suddenly remembered what her sister suddenly said. meadow That sentence which suddenly came out of context seemed just like what Lunia would say.

Despite her usual cold and indifferent expression, the corners of her lips were faintly pointing up and her dry voice seemed more excited than usual. audit That was the slight show of emotion that Lunia showed very rarely when talking to someone she was fond of.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 90: Arden, the Renowned Household of Swordsmanship (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Something Alicia felt during the prac test of the interim exam was that Lunia was harboring both curiosity and goodwill for Korin.

Respect for a warrior who reached a certain threshold as a swordsman, as well as her long-time wish for the Domain. silence Putting aside all that, Lunia wouldn’t have given such a proposal if she wasn’t interested in the man called Korin.

Was there a reason? crystal Probably, because there was no way her older sister would have talked about something as serious as marriage without any proper reason.

But did that mean she didn’t have goodwill for Korin? atomic That was probably not true.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 90: Arden, the Renowned Household of Swordsmanship (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Lunia was her older sister of admiration, who had been like a mother to her when she was young. arcade Although there was an unwanted conflict between them right now, she sincerely hoped for her happiness.

“…That’s fantastic.”

Alicia liked both of them.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 90: Arden, the Renowned Household of Swordsmanship (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Korin was also a special person to Alicia.

A marriage between the two of them, meant that her two favorite people would be becoming closer than anyone else.

He had trusted her talents, pushed her forward and helped her survive against her older sister’s followers.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 90: Arden, the Renowned Household of Swordsmanship (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Unlike herself who was lazy and cowardly.

Lunia was the future successor of the family who led forth the swordsmen of Arden with her innate leadership and charisma, whereas Korin was an exceptionally skilled warrior and a good person.

Those two were an amazing pair and it was a combination of her favorite and respected people. acid It was great that the two of them would be forging a deeper bond.

‘They look good together as well…’

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 90: Arden, the Renowned Household of Swordsmanship (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

It was probably either because she was too happy or because of how sudden everything was, but Alicia was feeling restless and fidgety.

She wasn’t sure.

Should she support them then?

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 90: Arden, the Renowned Household of Swordsmanship (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

3 days went by after our arrival at Arden.

What was I doing in the meantime, you ask?

Meanwhile, Yuel was busy collecting information about the ‘Forest of Demonic Beasts’ beyond the borders of the kingdom from the spirits, and Alicia was busy running around greeting everyone. timber It seemed that there were a lot of things for her to do like finding members and other administration work.

“The catchphrase that it was the voice of heavens wasn’t that much of an exaggeration, was it?”

“Was today an enjoyable day? aluminum The actor’s voice was even better than I expected.”

“More importantly, Korin. airport I want to know if you enjoyed it.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 90: Arden, the Renowned Household of Swordsmanship (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“…”

“Umm… yeah. admire It was a new experience and it was fun.”

“Hmm, that is good then. absorb All that matters is your enjoyment.”

On the way back to the main buildings, we were walking past the servants that were sweeping the gardens. atlas They stole glances at us but Lunia didn’t care a single bit about them and kissed the back of my hand.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 90: Arden, the Renowned Household of Swordsmanship (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

As expected of a renowned hero; she was closer to a gentleman than a lady.

“…Isn’t kissing on the back of the hand something I have to do as a man?”

“Today was another enjoyable day.”

“Hmm… I guess I did what I usually do to ladies as a habit. apple I will lend the honor to you next time.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 90: Arden, the Renowned Household of Swordsmanship (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“I will see you tomorrow. shadow There are a lot of things I have prepared for you.”

– Oh my oh my…!

The people nearby created a fuss after seeing that but Lunia didn’t seem to care.

3 days after coming to Arden; I was being fervently seduced by Lunia.
