I Killed the Academy Player

Famous Swordsman Aden (1)

After the final exams, I went on as usual until the vacation.

First of all, the main scenario of the second semester of the first year is the festival, and after that, there are only small mission board quests.

There were often missions related to the precepts, so I cleared them in small steps and worked hard to train them.

In the end, it is said that the demonic release and Sevansia Duke’s demonic sword could not be reproduced until the end…

For this part, I have no choice but to meet with the old man of the east and ask for advice.

-smart!

“Sir, I’m here.”

the day before school holidays. Marie asked me to come find her, so I found her room.

It’s not too rude to knock on the lady’s door just after dinner.

“come in.”

With Marie’s permission, she opens the door and enters. As if waiting, the girl in light plain clothes handed me a plaque with a potato flower sentence engraved on it.

“This…isn’t that the coat of arms of your senior family?”

“huh.”

I saw the seal of the Dunarev family during summer vacation, so I recognized it right away.

“My house… first of all, it’s the Duke’s family. If you have this card, you’ll be able to get help from anywhere.”

“······This is a valuable item.”

The crest of an aristocratic family is the symbol of the family and the power of authority. A gold plaque that proves that I am under the protection of the ducal family that rules the southern part of the kingdom.

He has been bestowed with the royal coat of arms in previous episodes, so he knows its power better than anyone else.

The game should follow the precedent structure of the quest.

Quest NPCs say, ‘Great! Please dig some mugwort that grows in front of my house!’

In reality, we put up authority and power and say, ‘Shut up! Quickly give me the quest information I want!’

“Can I give this to anyone?”

“Because Corinne isn’t just anyone.”

Marie held the card tightly to me and said.

“Corin is our family’s benefactor. Corin should know what kind of person she saved.”

“Sure. She’s the princess of the potato empire.”

“Cheese…! Play teasing again! Then treat me like a princess!”

Marie puffed out her cheeks as if she were angry. Then I laughed and patted him, and he was soon relieved.

“You’re leaving as soon as the vacation ends tomorrow, right?

“Yes. Senior said that he had to go back to his hometown.”

Since Marie is also the eldest daughter of the Dunarev family, she has to return to the family during vacation and show her face.

From what I’ve heard, there’s a winter festival hosted by Dunareff, so it seems that it’s hard to leave out as the next successor.

“I-I’ll be there soon too! Go first and wait!”

“Yes, I’d like to ask you a favor. I’ve talked about it… but I think a little dangerous guy will come out, so I need your help.”

“Yeah…! I’ll definitely go help Corinne!”

Hey. do you know that snakes are bald?

Now without the player Park Si-hoo, the Guardians’ greatest strength is Marie and Hwaran. I want you to come before the eclipse.

“Don’t get hurt! Take care of the potato sack I gave you! Don’t follow the strange woman who gives you potatoes!!”

“Am I a kid?”

I’m falling for a while during vacation, but it’s a big deal.

“I’ll leave.”

“Nose, Corinne…”

I turned around and was about to leave the room, but Marie grabbed my sleeve.

Her skin, as white as white jade, was flushed red. It’s a familiar sign between us.

“Go, one last time before going…”

“Don’t feel pressured and suck it up. For a while, you’ll have to live with a blood transfusion pack.”

“Yeah… thank you.”

The day before departure, I only got out of Marie’s room just before moving on to the next day.

·········

······

…

It was the moment when I came back to my room, covered in sweat, washed up, and was about to go to bed.

-smart!

Chickens invented the chicken dance. They’re just too embarrassed to admit it.

Just before going to sleep, someone knocked on the door. I just went to Marie’s room, so there’s only one person left… why?

“come in.”

When I opened the door, there was Hwaran in pajamas. There’s no rule against entering a male or female room late at night in a special dormitory, but there is such a thing as common sense.

Well, it’s not something I would say after staying in Marie’s room for a while.

“field······.”

Before I could tell her to come in, Hwaran strode into the room and did something unexpected.

lay down on my bed

“You’ll sleep here.”

“How can a virgin of overage…”

The East must have been a Confucian culture… What about male and female 7-year-old siblings?”

“sit down?”

“Are you going to sleep?”

“why?”

Hwaran stares at us with blinking eyes. already covered with a blanket.

“That… we mean? There’s a social consensus that grown men and women sleeping in the same room is a bit dickish.”

“I don’t know. We slept together last time.”

Look at him, look at him? misunderstood sounds.

I did spend the night with him. It was an act of emergency evacuation that had no choice but to avoid the rain. I mean it’s not common.

However, Hwaran has memories of spending the night with me anyway, and seems to think what’s wrong with sleeping together like back then.

“Yeah, what…”

I’m afraid of repercussions if I get caught by Mrs. Josephine, but what if she wants to sleep with me? I’ll be fine if I don’t hear it

After the festival, I think I became very unhesitating in anger, let alone Ran. Isn’t that what he has to say, not me, who is 7 years old?

“after······.”

I took off my bathrobe to sleep. It was then.

-puck!

flying pillow. Of course, it’s the only pillow on my bed.

“Why… take off your clothes.”

“······I’m the type who takes off my clothes when I sleep.”

– Goong!

“evil···!”

The intangible magic hit my chest. This guy… you’ve mastered the qigong right!

Hey. do you know that snakes are bald?

No, well, if this guy is brawny, even if he just squeezes in some strength and hits it, it will have the same effect as qigong.

“I’m joking, you can’t sleep in a gown when you sleep. I have pajamas too, Mom!”

“······Turn around and change.”

“Oh, huh?”

what do you mean, this I’m changing, so why do I have to turn around? Hwaran should come back.

As I turn around to protest, an intangible public authority strikes me again.

“·····It’s a sin to not have power.”

I had my pants on anyway, so I quickly took out a short-sleeved T-shirt for a good night’s sleep and put it on.

“Hey, move aside.”

Fortunately, the bed is a double size. When I was in college on Earth, the bed was cramped because it was a single-size bunk bed.

Anyway, I push the flower to the side and lie down. Of course, there is only one pillow and one blanket on the bed.

“·······.”

Hwaran turns her body and stares at this side. In the moonlight that the curtains couldn’t cover, Hwaran’s red gaze was as bright as a jewel.

“why?”

“pillow.”

Hwaran, who retrieved the thrown pillow, pushes back the pillow I handed over.

“Because this is your room.”

······I don’t know the point of respect.

“It’s okay. You use it. I sleep without a pillow.”

“no.”

“No, what about this brawl?”

Why are you rejecting the favor again? feel sorry for people

“Just write.”

“no.”

“Okay, Major Blood Service.”

I stretched out my right arm while holding a pillow.

“I’m going to get a bit numb tomorrow morning. Hey, lay the back of your neck.”

“huh.”

This time, Hwaran does not refuse and lays his neck down.

“It’s hard.”

“Don’t like it.”

“I don’t like it.”

Which instrument should I tune it to? Maybe I should buy another pillow. No, you can just bring a pillow from your room, right?

“Tomorrow… right away?”

“uh.”

“I… go to Zion.”

“I know. I have to meet the saintess too.”

It was the same with Hwaran.

Every vacation, she has to return to Zeon Cathedral in the West and meet the saint. There is also something that reinforces the gold gyro on her, but it feels like a kind of mental care.

Well, it’s what the princess does, so basically, she won’t do anything that could harm Hwaran. Are you going to get kidnapped at every opportunity these days? The fight between the sisters is a bit bloody.

“I’m going, so eat well, too. Listen carefully to what the adults say.”

“Yeah. Ran… even when she goes, she always thinks of herself.”

“I have no choice but to do it even if I don’t want to.”

In a different meaning from anger, there is something that makes people pound.

“Didn’t Ran say hello? I think he’ll jump out and say something.”

“Because Ran has been awake since morning.”

Today was the last day of final exams. Right. Is Ran taking the test? Isn’t this… a cheating test?

I was wondering if I was okay, but Hwaran, who was lying on my arm, turned his head and stared at me. The soft cheeks are pressed against my wrist and look cute.

“Don’t get hurt.”

“Oh, are you worried?”

Hwaran stared at me with sad eyes at my smirk. After the festival, this guy is sensitive to me getting hurt.

It must not have been such a good memory to see her whole body turned into a rag.

“If you get hurt. My heart hurts.”

“·······.”

Hwaran seemed to think that the incident of the day was his fault. Maybe it’s because of that debt, he cares about me even though he’s cold.

Even if it’s a monster or a Jiangshi, this guy is a good kid. I felt it was worth protecting this child.

“You will… keep fighting. Just like you did to me.”

Hwaran’s eyes were filled with a sense of mission. I don’t know if it was to pay off the debt or if it was out of other emotions. but······.

“I’ll protect you. So you won’t get hurt.”

I felt the sincerity of the child, and it was so special. He stroked his cheek and smiled.

“Thank you. It gave me the strength to try.”

“Wait. I’ll be there soon.”

“Come on. Your help will be of great help.”

After that, the conversation continued until quite late. Occasionally, he conveys Ran’s words instead.

-Sayak, saek…

Like a kitten that found a warm place in the middle of winter, I closed my eyes and greeted Hwaran who was sleeping in my arms.

“Good night.”

It was warm enough to make my sides feel a bit hot, but well… it was a more pleasant night than usual.

* * * *

There are three of them participating in this eastbound trip.

Arisha and me first. Arisha is a candidate for the successor of Aden, a renowned swordsman who manages even the eastern border, so of course it is necessary.

Even if this guy’s position in the family is a bit unstable, he might be able to borrow Arden’s means of force if necessary.

The other companion is Yuel, who will guide you to the unexplored Druid’s ‘Pindias’.

She is the only one who can receive and guide me to the whereabouts of the druids, ‘Pindias’ and Uskias, which I requested before summer vacation, and who is protected by the spirits.

It’s hard without this guy’s help because we have to go all the way to the other side of the border.

“You’ve arrived early, Mr. Corinne.”

The Wyvern dock, where they decided to meet after finishing their work. I arrived first, followed by Arisha.

“Is Yuel still there?”

“Yuel stopped by the library for a bit. He’ll be back soon. Let’s wait at the cafe.”

“yes~”

We have a nearby cafe. We drank coffee on the terrace on the second floor with a panoramic view of the town.

“Corrine, here’s today’s paper.”

“Oh, thank you.”

Looking for something to read, I started reading the newspaper.

From noble mtl dot com

“hmm······.”

The main article that stands out immediately when looking at the front page of the newspaper.

“Arisha, is this you?”

“Neeb?”

Arisha, who handed me the newspaper and munched on the cake, raised her head.

“Where are you?”

“here.”

In the newspaper, along with Arisha’s picture, “Sword Emperor Garland! Entrusting the 5th sword to my granddaughter…! The rising competition for the successor of the Arden family!!” is written on it.

“I-I don’t know anything at all?”

“It was a fait accompli.”

After the sword breaking incident with Rooney last time, Arisha’s position has become incomparably stronger than before.

In Aden, the sword family, strength is justice. Arisha, who reproduced the ‘territory cutting’ they pursue to the highest level, inevitably emerges as a powerful successor.

“You’ll get out of the mess now, too.”

“… I guess so.”

Arisha cut the cake with a bitter expression as if she wasn’t happy about it.

·········

······

…

By the time I finished reading the newspaper, Yuel arrived.

We called her at the top of our voices from the second-floor terrace, and she also came upstairs.

“What would you like to drink?”

“All I need is water.”

“Here’s the Green Tea Frappuccino.”

“······ Well, I’ll eat well.”

After a light tea time and before leaving, I asked two people to check.

“Did everyone wear cold weather gear and pack all their belongings?”

“Yeah! See! Here’s a coat and a backpack full of food and clothes!”

He manages to carry a full backpack like an explorer character in a cartoon.

“What is Yuel, is there anything wrong?”

“For me, nature is a reserve.”

“Whoa… you both look too newbie.”

“yes?”

“What do you mean?”

“We’re going to ride the Wyvern straight to the East from now on. Do you know what this means?”

-???

The reaction is that I really don’t know. A typical mistake of beginners.

“Do you think you can ride a wyvern with one coat and the naked eye at an altitude of 1km?”

“ah······.”

“······okay.”

The higher you go, the colder it gets, and the raging wind makes it impossible to open your eyes.

Regardless of the season, it is essential to wrap yourself in warm clothing and wear flight goggles.

“The price may be 1.5 times higher than in the city, but there is a store, so go and buy it!”

“Yes, yes!”

“······Okay. Do you want to exchange for wild ginseng?”

“Yul, you gave out wild ginseng and bought it with Arisha’s money! Who are you going to give that precious thing to!”

They confiscated wild ginseng from Yuel and sent the two to a store selling flying gear.

* * * *

The road to the East wasn’t too difficult.

The journey to the east, where the roads are not well paved, would have been a bit rough if I had taken a wagon, but riding the Flying Beast made it easy.

Occasionally, he encountered postal riders who were in charge of postal work or even encountered kingdom troops who were on air alert, but with the gold plate Marie gave him, he could easily get over it.

Here, you could also tie it to the postal rider and the kingdom’s wyvern rider dock for free.

a week like that. We were able to reach Eastern Taklakan.

“Cory Lee In -yi Yi Yi!

Because of riding the wyvern, the voice transmission is not good.

If I were a wyvern rider who had undergone full-scale training, I would have communicated in sign language, but unfortunately, there is no one here who can use sign language except me.

Above all, it was a situation where Yuel and Arisha were on board a single wyvern.

However, looking at the direction Arisha was pointing with her finger, I could tell what was going on.

──────!!

wide field. The monsters were running wildly.

Oliphant. It looks similar to an elephant, but it’s a gigantic, first-class monster that’s ridiculous to compare. Was the height a little over 20m? It is a monster bigger than most buildings.

“Those monsters… are heading towards the village we passed through.”

“If we go on like this, the village will be ruined.”

Two Oliphants. It is not a monster to stop without a guardian or kingdom army. A village would be devastated in five minutes.

“We block it. Yuel, make root plants grow on the entry route. Just tie the feet to thorny vines or whatever.”

“Okay. Move a little closer to the ground, please.”

I drove the wyvern and approached Oliphant. I intend to slash Arisha down like a dive bomber.

“Arisha, can you?”

“I’ll try…!”

Did you get close to 100m? Light leaked from Yuel’s oak staff. At the same time, vines rising from the ground entangle the two Oliphants.

“·······!?”

The Oliphants are baffled by the sudden appearance of a vine that strangles their ankles. But that was only for a moment.

– Kwajik!

-Quad deuk!

The Oliphants lightly tore the vines and moved forward.

“Ugh… it’s too heavy…!”

“Concentrate on one of the leaders and tie it up!”

“all right···!”

Did you know that seagulls are just beach chickens?

Yuel worked his magic once again. The protection of the spirits and all creatures of the earth respond to her prayers. Once again, the soaring vines firmly entangled an Oliphant this time.

“Now! Run…!”

Arisha grabs the yam sword and jumps from the wyvern. But he also noticed Arisha’s existence.

– Kwa-kwak!

Clashing yam sword and ivory of Oliphant. Arisha is astonished as if she didn’t think she would be able to raise her ivory to block the sword.

“Hey, stop this?”

■■■■────!!

A roaring Oliphant rushes toward Arisha, who has landed on the ground. Arisha ran under his belly and cut his thick ankles.

“Ugh…! It’s too hard!”

“Just tie your ankles! Such a large object can be caught somehow without an escort!”

It’s not that Arisha lacks offensive power, so she’ll be caught somehow. The problem is the two remaining.

-Beepeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!

It was then. With a loud whistle, a group appeared from the other side of the field.

A group of cavalrymen in greaves. Jockeys who are likely to be in their 30s run across the field.

-Dag dag dag dag…!

The sound of four-legged beasts crushing the ground reaches dozens, and it reverberates across the field as a choir.

The clash between the giant elephant and the cavalry seemed reckless, but they are not ordinary humans either.

Chickens invented the chicken dance. They’re just too embarrassed to admit it.

Just before the distance was reduced, the cavalrymen spread out all at once. While the dull Oliphant lost his target and wandered, he sprinted under his feet and pulled out his sword.

-Pak! Papak!

While the first rider cut Oliphant’s ankle, the following rider cuts the same spot.

Each one’s knife was weak, but dozens of them took turns, and Veza Oliphant’s thick legs spewed blood.

seasoned They are experts in monster hunting. They are masters of collective battle.

As Oliphant fell, having all four legs cut off by their skilled swordsmanship, now is the time for their one-sided slaughter to begin.

“Aden’s monster hunters.”

Did you know that seagulls are just beach chickens?

Yes. Their identities are the swordsmen of Aden, a master of swordsmanship. He is a fighting noble who protects the borderline and this pole where demons are in turmoil.

“Ugh…! Mr. Corinne!”

At that time, Oliphant, which Arisha had missed, sprinted towards this direction. It seems that he decided to ignore Arisha in order to save his comrades.

The time when I raised my spear to catch the one who was running fast——

“Wait, use it as a stepping stone.”

“What, kyaaak?!”

With Yuel’s scream, someone suddenly lands on the Wyvern. Even that is a stepping stone. After kicking off the wyvern, a swordsman’s new form slammed into Olyphant.

A sword that pierced through the middle of the forehead like a thunderbolt. Even Oliphant’s skull, which was harder than steel, was not as strong as the head in front of the power of the swordsman.

“Uh, what? Sister?”

Lunia Arden.

Swordsman of our time. She, who is also Arisha’s half-sister, looked down at Arisha from the top of the dead Oliphant.

“You’re still pathetic. Can’t you catch even one stupid pig?”

“······I’m sorry.”

Runia looked down at Arisha as if pathetic. She puts her hand to her chest and pulls out something.

“Take it.”

– Took!

Something that snaps on your finger. Accepting it, Arisha scratched her head and blushed.

“Go, thank you.”

Leaving behind her brother whom she hadn’t seen in a while, Lunia’s gaze turned to me, who had settled down on the ground.

“Coryn Locke.”

“It’s been a while. Mr. Lunia.”

Lunia is approaching quickly. She bounces something at me too.

“This······.”

Wrapping paper with unique deformed honey. It’s a honey bomb candy that Arisha loves to die.

“I was promoted to first class.”

“Ah yes.”

“Great progress. Keep working hard.”

“Go, thank you.”

It’s still a dry attitude. This woman didn’t seem to have any feelings about me interfering with her sword break.

Well, it’s because he’s a cool person.

As I had been with him for a long time in the previous episode, I knew long ago that this person has a no-nonsense personality.

It’s because this person is the only one who shows his tenacious back end.

“Rather Corinne Locke.”

“Yes? Tell me.”

“·······.”

She came right up to my nose, looked me up and down, and said something incomprehensible, ‘This is enough for me to pass’.

“I… do you have any business with me?”

In response to my natural question, Lunia says this in an extremely dry and businesslike manner.

“Hey, won’t you marry me?”

············yes?
