I Killed the Academy Player

Coryn Locke(1)

Most of Merkava Academy’s facilities are open to the public free of charge.

The student cafeteria is cheaper than the noodle restaurant outside the academy, and the dormitory does not charge money, although there may be a difference depending on the grade.

Since they have been dispatched to exterminate dangerous monsters in the name of practice since they were students, they are doing everything they can to support them.

The gym is an example of that.

The gymnasium, open to all undergraduate students, is the first recommended facility in this school, which has a lot of personal time.

“Do you have a seat?”

“Yes, there is… 1st year?”

The front desk clerk looked at my student ID and tilted his head.

I would do just that. On the first day of admission, a freshman came to use the gym. You might even get a bewildered reaction.

It’s normal for first-year students to not even know about the existence of the gym.

“What size would you like?”

“Give me the XL size.”

“Is there anything in particular you want to arm yourself with?”

“Is there a window? I think it should be about 2m.”

“It’s basic armament. Various weapons are prepared in the weapon container, so pick them up as you like.”

“Is there a spirit body?”

“Spiritual body? Uh… there is, but…”

The front desk clerk tilted her head at my words. It is a mixed expression of the question of how he knew that and another emotion.

It wouldn’t make sense to take it, he said.

After changing into gym clothes and holding a spear, I entered the gymnasium, revealing a gym the size of a playground.

– Kaang! Kang!

-Fury!

-Kwaaaang!

As soon as I entered, a bloody sound greeted me. This is the sound made by students practicing in the gym.

The fitness room is basically like a tennis practice room where each student can focus on training in their own room. It is open to the public through a glass screen.

Of course, it was difficult to prepare a gym for the number of students, so during popular times and weekends, you could only enter on a first-come, first-served basis.

It is an opportunity for freshmen to enjoy a luxurious single room right now, which has just entered school and is cluttered.

I lightly swung the sharp spear I received for practice.

In the previous episode, I held the spear every single day. Surprisingly, I seem to have a talent for spearmanship.

“You learned too late. Then practice a lot.”

It wasn’t until I was formally introduced to Master by Mr. Park that I learned proper spearmanship, but it was too late.

“Wake up. It’s time to work.”

I put something that looked like a small egg from the front desk and touched it.

This is something possessed by spirits. Spirits descend into this world in two ways.

The first is to inject and materialize mana through a formal contract with a spirit sage. In this case, since you are incarnating in a spiritual body, you can see it with your own eyes.

The second is to possess things like this. Guardian Academy, which aims for intensive training, provides these spirit bodies for practice through a contract with the spirit realm so that it is okay to destroy them.

– Hard! Creepy!”

The wings spread with a sound like a child laughing.

-Wheein!

An elemental body that soars with menacing wing sounds.

The spirit possessed by this egg is a common low-class wind spirit. However, depending on the performance of the possessed body, even if it does not have offensive ability, its speed is comparable to that of an intermediate level spirit.

“Hey, look at that.”

“What?”

“The 1st year is practicing with the spirit body.”

I could feel the eyes of the seniors who were using the gym. The emotion in their voices is not a surprise, but a mockery of the guest machine.

“It’s only in the second semester to practice with the elemental body.”

“I must have heard the rumors from somewhere.”

As they said, practicing with the spirit body starts from the second semester. The reason is simple.

There is no point in trying an impossible challenge.

“Suck…!”

An elemental body that lightly evades spears. It’s not just a level of avoidance. It read the trajectory of the spear and fooled me with a movement close to 0.1 cm.

“Look.”

“There are a lot of kids who can’t catch the wind-type spirits even in the 2nd year, but what about the 1st year?”

This is why the elemental body is used as a teaching material only in the second semester. The superior cognitive ability of the spirit and the overwhelming evasion ability combined with the specialized spirit body.

It’s no different than asking a toddler to race with a bicycle.

I don’t know if it’s a genius like name, but it boasts a level of difficulty that ordinary students can’t catch even after becoming a sophomore.

– Shiiik!

A spear swung again. The speed and timing were all out of sync, so the elemental body simply evaded into a blind spot and instead slammed its body into my forehead. It’s a joke.

“Quit…!”

As long as there was no offensive ability, it was as if there was no shock, but the sense of collapse of failure was great.

But don’t be discouraged. The current practice is a test to regain the feeling of the previous round.

‘If I’m just going to get this frustrated, I haven’t made a promise to save the world.’

At least the basics, I want to master the spearmanship.

As I prepared to strike the spear again, a cheerful voice flowed into my ears from the entrance.

“Hello guys! Good job today!”

“Uh, Marie?”

“Are you here early? Are you here for practice?”

“Yeah! I practiced something during the vacation. That’s right. Would you like some snacks?”

Marie generously opened the basket of snacks she had packed. In addition to steamed potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes, and seasonal vegetables come out endlessly.

“It looks like you came early and worked hard. Here’s a towel.”

“Uh, uh… thank you.”

A second year student at the Faculty of Engineering blushing while accepting the cold wet towel Marie gave her. Marie soon came to me too.

“You’re my junior. Did you see me in the morning?”

“Yes, senior Dunarev.”

“It’s the first time I’ve seen a freshman who came to the gym from day one!”

We were all busy playing! and create an atmosphere of light laughter. Marie created an atmosphere of natural laughter as if breathing.

“Would you like steamed potatoes? I have sugar.”

“I brought it this time,” he laughs. The awkwardness towards the first-year junior I met today is friendly, as if it was blown away in a second.

“I’ll eat it thanks.”

Upon accepting the steamed potato, Marie’s white fingers sprinkled sugar on it.

White snow falls on the steaming yellow flesh. Appetizing sugar potatoes are delicacy.

As I was eating it, Marie handed me a cup filled with water as if she had been waiting for it.

“Are you choking? Chehala, eat slowly.”

“thank you.”

Marie looked at the spirit body that suddenly caught her eye and tilted her head.

“Huh? That one?”

Marie raises her head in awe at the spirit body that you would not have known if you had taken a first-year class.

“Do you practice with that?”

“Yes, what’s wrong?”

“Oh, no? You’re working hard!”

Marie shook her head in embarrassment. He must have thought it might give the impression of ignoring me.

The room I was in… More precisely, I left behind the crowd of people who had gathered to talk to Marie and grabbed the spear, when I heard a new voice behind me.

“Hoo.”

It is the voice of an old man who is too profound to be a student and has a twist that he cannot hide.

“What?”

“What? Instructor Harmon?”

Professor Harmon, who had stunned the freshmen at the entrance ceremony, was glaring at them.

“Coryn Locke. Freshman.”

“Hello. Instructor.”

“·······.”

Old Man Harmon twitched as if he was surprised that he called himself an instructor rather than a professor.

Originally, the academy was divided into the Knights Faculty and the Magic Faculty, but all the students were taught by the professors.

Professor Harmon also holds the position of professor, but he hated the title as a professor.

“Why are you practicing as an elemental body? Corinne Locke.”

“It’s spearmanship practice. I’m trying to match that.”

“Foot…!”

The seniors in the background of Old Man Harmon each burst into laughter. They seem to think that a newcomer who doesn’t know anything is acting like a guest.

“Ugh… kids, stop it… you might not know…”

Marie tried to stop the seniors in case I would get hurt, but she also thought that what I was doing was meaningless.

“Did you learn spearmanship? What’s the school like?”

“Do some eight trigrams in the neighborhood…”

It is one of the comprehensive martial arts that can be applied and learned in the second year.

Actually, this is basically what I learned, and the real thing is six choruses and infinite spear skills, but I can’t mention them in front of old man Harman.

He has yet to reveal himself in front of the two most senior members of the academy, including Old Man Harmon. If you’re picky, you could be misunderstood as a follower.

“Are you sure you will succeed?”

“I don’t have it, I will.”

why did you come here I came to do it Old Man Harmon’s mouth twitched as if he liked my answer.

“Cheukkeul, the spirit is in. That’s a good attitude! I’ll give you ten meal tickets!”

I was handed a bundle of food stamps from a rough leather wallet. This… was filmed in a good way?

“If you succeed, come to me! I will praise you!”

Old Man Harmon treats his likes as something to eat. You can tell just by taking the students he likes to the restaurant.

It’s hard to eat rice with a kinky nobleman, but surprisingly, it’s a caution not to touch them when eating.

‘Even I’m a gourmet, so I only feed him expensive meals.’

Maybe if you succeed and report back, you’ll get a pass to a fancy suburban restaurant.

If you raise your favor with Old Man Harmon, you will receive a voucher for a famous restaurant in Merkava City.

Leaving behind old Harman, who had left to manage the training room, he stared at the spirit body. The seniors still laughed at me and promised failure.

“Fighting…! I hope you succeed!”

Only Marie left her cheer and entered her room.

* * * *

Elemental bodies do not have eyes. This is because their world operates under a different set of rules than the human world.

This is because pure magic replaces the five senses, not concepts such as sight, hearing, smell, and touch.

The same is true when possessed by an elemental body.

The spirit body possessed by the wind spirit distinguishes and responds to the vibrations and waves of the wind shaking in the air.

That’s why it’s much more agile than relying on sight and has excellent endurance.

This is because there is absolutely no flinching from a threatening attack or a loss of stamina through unnecessary movements.

So, the spirit of wind is the best practice target for knights and magicians.

Hey. do you know that snakes are bald?

No matter how powerful an attack is, it’s meaningless if it doesn’t hit.

Hitting the wind spirit body with excellent evasion ability proves the accuracy of the technique in itself.

So the difficulty level is also high. In order to get a hit, you have to have sense, effort, and specs evenly.

-Wheein!

A spirit body avoiding the spear with a menacing sound of wings. As if mocking, narrowly missing it showed the spirit’s nasty personality.

‘I have the skills, but I don’t have enough body to realize them…’

body is the problem Corinne Locke’s body was too weak.

The aura level and magic level are the lowest. Since there are few auras, the physical level is also low, and since mana is low, skills that consume mana cannot be used.

With below-average specs, I had no choice but to do my best with every blow, and with each failure, the cumulative sense of collapse and fatigue made my body heavier and heavier.

“Look, he still does it.”

“It hasn’t even touched me yet. Would you tear off even a single wing like that?”

“Why are you still there?”

“Now come and see if you’re ashamed to quit.”

Ignoring the mockery, I stabbed the window again. But again, a spear that only pierces the air.

Hey. do you know that snakes are bald?

Now, he casts an accelerated horizontal slash using shoulder and waist rotation toward the spirit body, which does not show any sincerity to evade.

slap! and the sound of cutting through the air. I rolled my eyes here and there to find the spirit body that had disappeared from sight, frowning at the slight weight I felt at the tip of the spear.

– rolling around

The spirit body rolling down from the tip of the spear crashed into my face.

“Grunt…!”

It’s more shame than pain. I’m looking down on you completely

At least, if it was me who was in my first year, I wouldn’t have been fooled like this.

‘It’s a pity that I ate this and that well.’

Because Park Sihoo followed me around, I often ate elixirs and potions.

I was looking for a towel to wipe the pouring sweat like rain, but a cold wet towel was held in my hand. it’s marie

“Is it hard?”

A water-colored girl squatting down on me, sprawled out.

“Are you having a hard time?”

“Whoa… that’s hard.”

“Then it’s okay to take a break. At this rate, you’ve worked hard.”

Marie handed over the magically created water and smiled sadly.

“Whoa… whoa… no.”

“······why?”

Marie seemed to be sorry for the ridicule of the older students pouring down on me. Marie is the only person here who doesn’t laugh at me.

“Are you going to eat? Enjoy your meal. I will try more.”

“······Is it because you’re shy?

“It’s not like that.”

Marie put on a more and more incomprehensible expression.

“It’s very difficult.

That’s not wrong. In fact, it’s true that I’m begging to come.

The body moved with difficulty as if holding a lump of iron. The arm holding the spear trembled, and the palm was torn and bleeding.

Think of me 3 years ago.

Three years ago, when I first possessed, I struggled and chased after the spirit body.

I will be much better now than I was then. At least I pretended to be a spearman.

But then it was fine.

Three years ago, there was Park Sihoo.

There was a player and there was a system window.

There were also potions and skill books that came out of the combination window.

Hey. do you know that snakes are bald?

Not now. There is no Park Sihoo. i killed

Hey. do you know that snakes are bald?

Now I have to do it on my own. I can’t stop like this.

“It’s never too late to give up even if you try until the end.”

The clue was visible. I soon got the hang of it… 4 hours until curfew.

Analyze.

analyze and attack

Even now, that’s all I’m good at.
