I Killed the Academy Player

Hey. do you know that snakes are bald?

Nazrea, City of the Dead (1)

A room suite at the Mamilla Hotel in Merkava City.

Public order and safety against monsters established by the existence of Guardian Academy. The benefit of the rich capital composed of the citizens gathered as a result brought prosperity to the city.

A top-notch hotel in the heart of such a city. With the quality and service befitting the city’s best hotel, the Mamilla Hotel’s suites cost billions of dollars for a night’s stay.

While enjoying high-quality wine over 80 years old on the finest cowhide sofa, Bishop Renault Lisignan’s voice shows no sign of lowering.

“Are you saying that!”

thud! The wine that was placed on the side table that was struck down spilled out. It was not the bishop’s concern that it was a high-end item that could only be purchased with gold coins.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t think the bandits would rampage on the platform…”

– Kaang!

The wine glass he threw without hesitation shattered on the forehead of the man who posted the report.

The crimson color of the flowing wine. The man didn’t even move even though something sticky was mixed and dripped.

“Useless bastard. The leader of the glorious Crusades, who follows God’s will, can’t solve even a single task.”

Crusaders.

It is a fanatical secret unit that annihilates the enemies of the Catholic Church in the shadows. Although their individual fighting power was not comparable to that of the Templars, they were convenient to use as consumables as they had no status or name.

“These are the items entrusted by the pagans of the East. Find them somehow. If that doesn’t work, at least get a replacement!”

Renault gave the obvious instructions, but prepared in case it didn’t work out.

“Tell those black-haired Kangryun! Tell them the route and schedule of the wagon coming to their academy.”

“······What does that mean?”

“You idiot! Shouldn’t you buy some time! If you organize a bandit and steal Boramae’s supplies, isn’t there a justification for changing the schedule!”

“Ah, I see.”

As the leader disappeared, Bishop Renault looked down at the splendid view of the city from the terrace.

don’t like anything

The current situation, and the prosperity of this city that betrayed the will of God.

But Renault Lizunan knows. That there are gods in this land. And that their arrival is not far off.

“All for the coming of paradise.”

The venue for the group exhibition has been announced.

Boramae Academy A, B, Byung, Jeong teams of 16 or more.

Merkava Academy A, B, C, D teams or more 16 people.

The venue for the group exhibition where all 32 academy students participated was as follows.

“Nazrea… City?”

Arisha yawned and looked puzzled, probably because she had woken up a little too early because of a scheduled match in the team event.

“Where is Nazrea City?”

In the middle of the kingdom of El Las, there is a dead city called Nazrea. A place where guardians reside in a place so famous.

Marie opened her mouth as if she knew the history of the city.

“Wow, this place is famous as the Undead City.”

“Uh, Undead City?”

“huh.”

Marie took out a booklet from the outer robe she had prepared for the start of the team event.

“Nazrea is a prosperous metropolis 300 years ago. But now it’s a ruined city.”

“Uh… that’s a tragedy. Why did it perish?”

“A black magician named Drakon has summoned the undead in the city. Using a large-scale black magic called the Immortal Legion.”

“Huh, a warlock?”

Immortal Corps. To put it simply, it is a great magic that creates the largest number of dead as long as magic power allows, centering on a magic circle.

“Yeah, that’s a very ominous thing.”

“The problem is that it has become a special barrier that will retain its magic even after 300 years.”

“Yes. Even now, Nazrea is called the city of the undead, and the undead are constantly roaming around.”

“Even after three hundred years? Is that possible?”

“It is possible if the movement of a special celestial body coincides with the miraculous timing.”

As a mage, Marie immediately explained whether she was familiar with Nazrea’s transformation into an undead.

“300 years, 3 months and 24 days ago, the Super Blue Blood Moon occurred. It is a very rare lunar eclipse in which a Super Moon, Blue Moon, and Blood Moon phenomenon occurred at the same time.”

From noble mtl dot com

Supermoon, an Advent phenomenon in which the moon appears larger,

A blue moon that occurs every 2 to 3 years like a leap month,

A rare lunar eclipse in which the blood moon, in which the moon appears crimson due to atmospheric instability, overlaps on the same day.

The timing of this miracle, which seems to happen once every hundreds of years, caused a special magical phenomenon. Simply put…

“At this time, a special wave of magical energy soaks the ground. The great magic that is invoked by attracting this magical energy will receive the permanent protection of the moon.”

“Uh… so?”

“It means that a permanent spell that infinitely resurrects the undead has been applied to the entire city of Nazrea.”

“·······.”

Arisha made an expression asking why she neglected such a dangerous place.

“Nazrea is impossible to purify. The scale is large, but it is impossible to purify the city in one night… no, even in half a day, even if the kingdom does its best.

“What does that mean, Marie-senpai?”

“Yeah…you’ll find out when you get to the city! I’ve been there once last year too!”

Anyway, Arisha, who recognized that it was a dangerous place, suddenly raised a new question.

“Why do you have a team match in a place like that?”

“It’s not too dangerous if we don’t go to the center of the city. Maybe we’ll focus on places with low-level undead?”

But nobody was sure.

Hey. do you know that snakes are bald?

Now, the city is only used as a training course for priests and a place for group exhibitions for students, but Nazrea is a demonic realm.

There is a god of death here.

* * * *

-Kee eh!

Seats that fly smoothly. Faint clouds are visible outside the window.

Four passengers, including Hresbelg, were flying through the sky with students and professors in the seats.

“Whoaam~”

Arisha nodded her head while reading a booklet about Nazrea, and seeing that Marie wasn’t there, it looks like she went to the kitchen to steam potatoes.

By now, the academy should be holding individual and doubles competitions. By the way, the students who participated in the team event like Marie and us had played the game beforehand.

I was thinking about this group exhibition.

‘If it went as planned, it was a quest to steal eggs guarded by pseudo-polyposis.’

The affair has changed.

Originally, Nazrea is an external stage visited during the main scenario.

First of all, it is an abduction story that is closer to a sub-scenario than a main scenario, but at least it is not a stage used as a festival theme.

「Head Professor Kang Ryun has changed the stage for the team event.」

When I heard this news from Ms. Josephine, I was a little taken aback.

For previous festivals, the representatives of the academy on a business trip coordinate the contents of the group exhibition. Considering the fairness of the organizers using the home ground has led to a tradition.

The content of the group exhibition itself is decided and coordinated when the selection team arrives, but it is not changed in such a hurry.

It must have been the aftermath of robbing the Catholic wagon a week ago.

‘It’s buying time.’

Since the important items of Daera Myungjin, which will make up the final stage of the team competition, have been stolen, it is to find them or find a replacement.

It must have been embarrassing since special items that would normally have been smuggled to avoid customs inspection were stolen.

“I heard that the supplies brought by the Boramae side were stolen by the bandits. Is that you?”

I could say for sure that this wasn’t me. It was the Gugyo side that was smuggling items, not the Boramae side.

In other words, Bishop Renault and Kang Ryun staged an act of robbing their wagons to buy time.

To make a justification for changing the contents of the group exhibition.

‘That pig. My head works fine.’

He is also the one whose name is written in my killing book. He is a typical religious villain, but thanks to his social position, his power of action and influence are not usually annoying.

In the first place, the entire upper echelons of the Catholic Church are fundamentalists who dream of ‘coming of paradise’.

In , one of the forces that must be destroyed no matter which route is taken is the Catholic Church of Jeruem Holy Land. That’s why they’re the ones who can’t be used.

‘The problem is the death god of Nazrea…’

[Death God of Nazrea]

A powerful being that also appears in the main scenario. Rather than being a monster or a demon, it is an existence closer to a spirit.

Why do flamingos stand on one leg? They’d fall over if they lifted both.

Known as the Grim Reaper. If the scenario goes according to the scenario, the player will face this angel of death.

300 years ago, a guide to the spirits who came to reside due to the Nazrea Undead Corps incident.

The guy will appear in front of us with a high probability.

– Flutter! flutter!

The sound of flapping wings has changed. Passengers began to slow down as they prepared for the descent.

“Ugh… now I’ve boiled all the potatoes!”

Marie woke Arisha from dozing off with a sad voice. I woke up Lark and Jaeger at the end of the audience.

– Goooooong!

Soon, the audience seats calmly landed on the ground, and each of the 16 students carries their luggage and disembarks. There were people waiting for us.

“Welcome. Merkava Academy students. My name is Flamel Priest who served as Nazrea Exploration Guide. Get on the prepared wagon.”

At the landing pad where the passenger landed, another large passenger is eating food. It seems that Boramae has already arrived and is heading towards the entrance of Nazrea.

Arisha was about to board the horse-drawn carriage and suddenly realized that it was too small and cramped for everyone to ride.

“Is the wagon a bit small?”

“Unfortunately, it’s a sudden visit. We couldn’t prepare enough wagons, so those who are left would like to ride horses… Are there any students who can ride horses?”

It seems that the priests on this side were also slow to respond to the sudden schedule change. It is unavoidable.

“I know how to ride.”

“Oh, I know how to ride too!”

Marie and I knew how to ride horses.

It’s natural that Marie has a dedicated ranch, and I learned it naturally after wandering around in the previous episode.

“Marie, can I ride in the back?”

“Yeah, hold on tight to my waist, Isabelle!”

Isabelle sat behind the horse she skillfully rode, and I picked a horse and rode on it.

The students who didn’t get on the wagon…

“Yeger, what do you do?”

“To ride behind the boyfriend? Uh~ Don’t do that. Gross. You know why.”

“······As expected, my best friend.”

I nodded and fully agreed with Jaeger’s opinion.

“Arisha, do you know how to ride a horse?”

“Uh… Mo, can’t you ride it?”

“…Aren’t you a candidate for the successor of the samurai family?”

As far as I know, riding a horse in Aden is almost like life.

“To ride a hideous creature that kills people on its hind legs? How could a human think of such a thing?”

“·······.”

what does the kid say? You have now denied the traditional means of transportation that have accompanied most of human history.

“If you don’t know how to ride, ride behind me.”

“Uh, uh… I’ll decline. I’m in the wagon…”

Let’s drive the horse to the guy who sneakily backtracks. Arisha is horrified.

“My arm hurts. Grab it quickly.”

“Ugh…”

Did you know that seagulls are just beach chickens?

You have to burn him or your boyfriend. can’t be What was it that I regretted, making a sweaty boyfriend grab my waist?

Arisha, who was riding behind me, trembled and showed signs of wanting to go down immediately.

“Marie? What’s wrong?”

“I’d say I can’t ride it…”

Let’s drive the horse before Arisha changes her mind.

“Run, Red Toma!”

“Mr. Corinne? Ughyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?!

– All right! All right!

A red horse running at high speed. Arisha swayed as if she were going to fall at the speed, which was rather harsh for beginners, and clung to my back.

“Ko, Corrine! Wait a minute! Wait a minute!”

“Hehahaha! Injungkorin Majungjeokto means this!”

“Hieeeeeek…!”

After riding a horse for the first time in a while, I ran in an uplifted mood and arrived quickly. Even if a wyvern is impossible… wouldn’t it be possible to buy at least one horse?

As soon as he earns money generously, the god of shame descends.

“Huhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, Mr. Corinne! Oh, I’m dizzy. My eyes are tight.”

“Hey… if you really run, you’re faster than a horse, right?”

“Mo, I can’t walk.”

“Ehh… put it on your back.”

Eventually, with Arisha on his back, he headed for Nazrea’s outpost.

As we entered the city, a nun with a cross in a different pattern from the priest we saw at the landing welcomed us. He belongs to the same Protestant religion as Hwaran.

“Welcome. You are the first to arrive in Merkava.”

We were the only Merkava students who arrived at the camp, probably because we ran at full speed. Marie is the type to drive a horse at a leisurely pace, so it should arrive similar to a carriage.

“Are you briefed right away?”

“No. You must be tired from the flight, so let’s rest at the inn. Just follow me.”

“I see.”

At the beginning, several priests were waiting as if they were taking on the role of guides. We followed one of them, a nun named Lina.

“Huh?”

Upon entering the city, Arisha’s eyes widened.

Hey. do you know that snakes are bald?

Nazrea. Undead City. It is because the scenery of the city is too ‘normal’ to be a city overflowing with the dead.

“Hey, is it normal?”

From the old gate at the entrance to the city, a fruit shop, a bakery that bakes bread, and children running around… everything is a bit old, but it is a normal urban scene.

“Welcome! Would you like to have some freshly baked bread?”

Arisha was seduced by the bread vendor, who so naturally solicited customers from the city of death.

“Sniff… It smells delicious. Corinne, would you like to buy one?”

“It’s not possible.”

It is Sister Lina who dissuades Arisha from taking out the coin pouch.

“Uh… yes. That… you must be busy, sorry.”

“That’s not it. You shouldn’t eat any food here. Didn’t you check the precautions on your way?”

“Uh, uh? I’m sorry.”

“Follow the nun’s words. Let’s go to the inn first.”

Why do flamingos stand on one leg? They’d fall over if they lifted both.

Knowing the reason, I headed for the inn with Arisha fixed.

The inn we visited was the large three-story inn ‘Kanna’ not far from the city entrance.

“Welcome! There are so many customers today!”

The innkeeper welcomes us. Inside, priests and professors keep their seats, and students are not seen.

“Please go up to the second floor. You must be down by 6:40 in the evening.”

They moved us to an inn room on the third floor without any further explanation. The number of the room we are staying in is written on an old, now unused wooden key.

“Be silent. It’s good if you’re still asleep.”

Is it still broad daylight? In response to Arisha’s question, the nun just said shhhh and put a finger to her mouth.

“Ugh… what the hell is that?”

“Quiet. I’ll explain later. Get some sleep now.”

“yes?”

“It’s not the time to stand out just yet. We have to consider that we’re not the only ones here.”

“·······.”

Arisha calmly unpacked and lay down on the bed, perhaps knowing that I wouldn’t answer even if I asked more here.

* * * *

6:40. Having been awake for 20 minutes, we headed to the lobby of the inn Kanna just in time.

At the same timing, I see students coming out of the inn room. Among them is Kang Yoo-hwa, president of the Boramae student council.

“Whoaaam~”

Everyone seemed to be sick with moths, and they rushed down the inn stairs. Down the lobby, Professor Harman beckoned us.

“Come over here and sit down.”

“yes.”

Arisha and I are sitting at Professor Harmon’s table. Nearby, guests of the inn are enjoying their food and drinks.

“I… Corinne. It’s very different from what I imagined.”

“It’s because I fell asleep while reading the booklet.”

“eww······.”

Merkava students arriving one after another soon. Sixteen contestants arrived, including Marie and Isabelle, Jaeger and Lark.

Senior Professor Kang Ryun, the originator of this group exhibition, looks around us upon arrival.

“Everything has arrived.”

Thirty-two participants in the team event. And eight professors and twenty priests.

Even though a small number of people gathered in the lobby, it was crowded with other guests besides us.

“58 minutes.”

It is clear that most of them were nervous at Professor Kang Ryun’s words.

There are people like Arisha and Yeager who don’t understand this situation, but no one opened their mouths because they were ‘forbidden’ to ask questions.

“59 minutes.”

The inn is still noisy. Customers drinking alcohol and meat, and employees busy serving food. An innkeeper who serves wine.

“59 minutes and 30 seconds.”

Ordinary daily life that can be seen anywhere. Rather, it is so peaceful that it seems to be absorbed.

“59 minutes and 50 seconds.”

Oops, someone pulled out a mace. they are priests

“5… 4… 3… 2…”

“What kind of prize is this now…”

“·······1. Start.”

As soon as those words were over, me, the students, and the clergy drew their weapons.

“kiII everyone you see!”

First, my silver spear pierced the temple of the customer who was eating meat next to me. A small ice spear fired by Marie blew off the innkeeper’s head.

“Uh huh?”

“Everyone, what are you all doing…!”

While the students who did not understand the situation were parents, more than 50 armed forces began to slaughter everyone in the inn.

The massacre at the Kanna Inn was over in less than a minute.
