I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 100

[Sun – Klau Solas (8)]

Looking at the giant star with its gate alone exceeding 30 meters, one cannot help but become conscious of its existence.

“Is this the giant’s castle?”

“I guess so.”

“Are you going to do some riddles again?”

“No way.”

Also, if it’s a riddle or something, everyone here is eliminated. Not to mention Runia and Alisha, Yuel doesn’t seem particularly interested in riddles.

“You won’t be able to enter through the main gate. Red rowan berries also serve as a replacement for an entrance pass.”

But we failed to get rowan fruit. In that case, you have to give up entering through the main gate… but that doesn’t mean there’s no way.

“Anyway, the castle wall… is too high.”

“Wow… it looks like it’s over 50m.”

The walls of the Giant’s Castle are as high as the huge gate. Even the maintenance is so good that it seems difficult to find a hole.

The height of the castle wall is 50m. Good maintenance condition.

There’s an answer.

“At least it’s not the Sky Giant’s castle.”

It seems that Runia had the same thoughts as me. It seems like Alisha also noticed what her sister said.

“Huh? I see? It’s a bit… small for a castle where a sky giant lives, right?”

It was a large enough castle, but it was not a castle suitable for a sky giant to live in.

“But Mr. Uskias said that there is a giant here who protects the sun.”

“I guess that means literally. There are giants, but they are not sky giants?”

“Then?”

“Well, if you knock on the castle door, you’ll get an answer.”

I approached the gate. We are not invited guests by nature, and there are no rowan berries that are important key cards. Even so…

“Come here…!!”

A voice that rings loudly. By human standards, it would be called a roar, but by these guys’ standards, it would be a bit loud.

Yes, guys.

-Kiiiiii…!

As if my shout had reached them, the gate began to creak and move.

“Mr. Corinne?”

“Don’t be scared, we are ‘legitimate’ customers.”

“What are you thinking?”

“Anyway, from here on out, it’s all improvisation. The one who cracks loses.”

I don’t know the story of this place. An unknown area that has never been experienced in previous rounds or games.

Events and areas outside of the player’s awareness. Inevitably, we have no choice but to leave it to improvisation at the right time. And… improvising in the field is my specialty.

“What kind of people are they?”

It was a loud voice. However, it is not the earth-shaking sound we all imagined.

Soon the owner of the voice appears, and a group of dozens of people strides in behind him.

“uh?”

“Giant?”

A truly spectacular sight filled with giants over 5m tall. Each one is a mid-boss level entity of level 1 or higher.

“Corrin… Are you really going to fight?”

“That can’t be right. I’m not ignorant enough to go head-to-head with dozens of giants.”

Force is not a means. At least until the solar eclipse two days later.

“Human? Human!”

“Oh, there are four humans. They look really messy.”

“Stew! Today is human stew!”

Giants surround us, making harsh noises. One of the characteristics of giants. I eat anything well. ‘Human’ too.

Man-eating was the worst characteristic of giants and is one of the reasons why giants are still classified as demons by mankind.

“Ugh… Mr. Corin?!”

“Don’t worry, we have Yuel!”

“Yes? Me?”

I don’t have any way to stop dozens of giants? This is the expression.

“Wait! We have been sent by Sky Giant Sharvan and Sage Uskias of Findias!”

“???”

I feel it. Why is this person like this all of a sudden? The gazes of the companions said.

“Sharban? Uskias?”

A giant who seemed to be the leader stopped after hearing me. As expected… Findias and Sky Island Findias are not only related but also interacting with each other.

“Yes that’s right!”

“Tell me more, human.”

Now, you have to answer well here.

Why did Uskias choose red rowan berries as his task?

Toll or token. Without it, we cannot legitimately obtain the sun.

Currently we have two advantages.

First, thanks to the golden Mandragora fertilizer, it arrived ‘before’ Skys.

In performing the second task, there is prior information about the red fruits of the Uskias Sharvan rowan tree.

If you take advantage of these advantages…

“We are great heroes! We are the advance party sent by Dun Skies!”

“Mr. Corrin?”

sell medicine

“Dun Skyes? Who is that?”

“Four! He is our master and the hero who did all this! He will come with the magic rowan berries!”

If these giants are the ones protecting the sun, there is no way they would not have any interaction with Findias.

They will not be able to ignore the names of Uskias and Sharban.

“Captain! Then are you a guest of Master Sharvan or Uskias?”

“Hmm…”

Red rowan berries. Uskias. Sharban.

These are all names that the residents of Sky Island Findias know. Now it’s the final blow.

“Druid Yuel is here in place of Uskias!”

“Heck? Corrin?”

“Hmm… I looked closely and saw that there was a druid. But this little girl came on behalf of the wise man?”

“Yes! Yuel is the guardian of Pindias, succeeding Uskias! He is suffering from a serious illness, so Yuel is now his plenipotentiary representative!”

Of course it’s false. But there is a secret trick that can make this lie more believable.

“Yuel! Show me your power!”

“Uh, yes? Yes, yes…!”

Yuel, who was in awe of my repeated bullies, countered with an ad-lib.

ᚄ (sal)

ᚘ (ifin)

ᚒ (ur)

ᚆ (uhh)

ᚎ (straf)

The shape of a giant summoned by raking branches. No, it is a 14m tall wooden doll that is bigger than giants.

Wicker Man.

The thousand-year secret of the Druids, inherited only by the wise men of the forest.

A Wicker Man summoned with pure magical power without a sacrifice may not be able to last even a few tens of seconds, but it is enough to show it.

Being able to create the Wicker Man, which is inherited only by a very small number of druids, is consistent with being a sage of the forest.

“Hmm… You really are the sage of the forest.”

The giants, who could not leave the island, would have interacted only through Findias on the ground.

All they know is the name of the Sky Giant and the druids who interacted with it.

Now, everything is put together nicely. My lies are the truth.

“Fine, I will accept you as guests. However, the red fruit of the rowan tree…” “

You know. I heard that the wise giants will be able to hold the sun if you give it to the wise man Uskias!”

“…You can’t take the sun unless you bring the fruit.”

“Of course! He will be up soon! He said it would be polite to let the great giants know of his visit!”

“Hmm… I see.”

They seem to really like it when I grease their mouths. We entered the castle proudly, receiving a welcome from the giants.

“How about it? It’s so easy, right?”

“…….”

“……..”

Three wistful eyes turned towards me. Either that or not.

We arrived at a giant-sized parlor guided by giants. He proudly declared in front of the milk and pork they served.

“Now let’s get wet.”

“What what?”

“The giants’ treasure trove.”

* * * *

It’s a bit hard to say this, but stealing was like a way of life in the previous episode.

This is because player Park Si-hoo had an all-purpose cheat called inventory.

There is treasure? If I slipped it into my inventory, no one could find it.

As a result, if I saw an expensive item, I would just quietly put it in my inventory and keep quiet.

…I also participated.

In the game, you couldn’t take it because of economic balance, simple background, etc., but in reality, you can just take it quietly, right?

When everyone finishes a campaign and finds a pile of magnificent treasures, they think, ‘Wow, if I just take that one thing, my gaming life will bloom.’ I thought I wanted to.

As a result, when I went to a boss stage or area, I started looking for warehouses or treasures.

Late night. It’s been 30 minutes since Runia and Yuel were on standby just in case and went to find the treasure with Arisha.

We stood in front of a huge hall that must have been a treasure trove.

“Mr. Corrin… why are you looking for me so well?”

“Everyone… has experience.”

“It’s my first time to a giant’s castle… I found the treasure in an instant… It’s a skill I’ve done once or twice…” “

No, wait a minute. Are you really doubting me? Are my hands clean?”

In this episode.

“Now that I think about it, Mr. Korrin, Immortan Locke… Mandragora bandits… Experienced?”

Arisha’s gaze is cold. No, isn’t the original location of the warehouse and treasure room right there?

If you try it a few times, you’ll quickly get the hang of it!

“It’s not that important… Let’s find the sun first.”

“Yes… there’s no one there, by the way.”

“I know.”

It’s good to have found the location of the treasure chest, but there isn’t a single giant guarding it. what? Are there not even minimal expenses?

Putting all my doubts aside, I couldn’t say that the treasure trove I entered was so huge.

I once saw it in a fantasy movie…

the stolen homeland of the dwarves. A dragon’s nest filled with mountains of gold and silver treasures.

The giants’ treasure trove was so huge and grand that it reminded me of a scene from a movie.

“Can we find the sun in a place like this?”

“It’s in the shape of a sword, so somehow… ah.”

Among the treasures piled up in the treasury were numerous swords. There are more than 100 that are immediately visible.

“…It’s too small for giants.”

“Besides, they are loaded with jewels and have no practical use whatsoever.”

The treasures piled up in the treasury are literally a mountain. There are so many that you don’t even know which ones are valuable.

In particular, a strangely rich space where egg-shaped gold is rolling around like trash.

Even if I came with Park Ga-nom, I couldn’t take even one thousandth of the amount due to the inventory weight limit.

“I was surprised because there was no security, but I understand.”

Does it mean that it is impossible to just pick up the sun and take it out of this huge pile of gold anyway? It can’t be achieved by pretending it’s a coincidence like in the movies.

“I can’t go and ask in person…”

That’s how I was looking for Klau Solas.

-please! Tightly!

There was a chicken wandering around that seemed out of place in a treasure trove.

“chicken?”

“Do you also have beef stew?”

“It’s a bit… small for giants to eat.”

A chicken that looks so out of place in a space where treasures are scattered like trash. I don’t know the meaning of the party.

Ignore the chicken and continue your search. How much time has passed? I started to go back to the entrance, thinking that it wouldn’t work out.

-thud! thud! thud!

The sound of a giant’s footsteps can be heard from the entrance to the treasury.

“Soo Hide!”

“Where are you going?!”

Where to hide in a place full of treasures everywhere…!

“Follow me!”

“Ugh?!”

I held Arisha’s hand and dug into the pile of treasure. Dig up a mountain of treasure and hide inside it. The treasures that poured down from above became a curtain that covered us.

“…….”

“……..”

A tiny gap in the pile of treasure we were hiding. Our eyes naturally turned to the gap where we could see the outside…

-Kkokko?

One of the chickens I saw earlier was staring at me, nodding its head.

‘That bastard…!

‘Shh! Mr. Corin, be quiet!’

Please don’t cry when you look at me, I hope the giant passes by… My hopes are trampled by the sound of approaching footsteps.

“Oh, my sweet baby. You’re here.”

Stepping on a pile of treasure, a 7m tall giant reaches out for a chicken. At the same time, the giant’s eye level has become equal to ours.

-gulp!

Even the sound of swallowing is loud, like lightning. Fortunately, the giant didn’t notice.

“Hehehe our cutie.”

A giant stroking a chicken in his hand like a pet. It was then.

-Bong!

Pop eggs on the giant’s large palm! A chicken that gives birth. What was surprising was not the birth site, but the egg it laid.

‘What…’

A golden egg that shines so brilliantly that it is worthy of the word ‘glittering’. Yes. That chicken was the one that laid golden eggs!

‘It’s not even a goose…’

‘What do you mean by that?’

‘Oh no… it’s nothing.’

‘A chicken that lays golden eggs… Could it be the gold in this treasure trove?’

‘Isn’t that guy cheap?’

‘When you say it’s cheap… the expression is a bit cheap.’

If you steal just one of those guys, you’ll be complaining for the rest of your life.

‘Should I steal it?’

‘Come to your senses. ‘What if I cry?’

‘……okay.’

As I left my regret behind, the giant holding the chicken walked away.

“Whew….”

“I almost got into big trouble.”

Alisha’s sigh of relief touches my lips. It seemed like the same thing happened to Alisha, as she raised her head and our eyes met.

The strange situation buried in a pile of treasure somehow reminds me of that night.

“Brother-in-law… I don’t have a sister right now.”

Under the moonlight. A girl who laid me down and looked down at me with her magical blue eyes.

A density that I couldn’t feel from the usual Alicia… and a lustful gaze that was licking me stickily.

The memories of that night… Why did I remember them now?

“Ah, Alisha.”

“Why are you doing this?”

“What vision did you see when you first came here?”

“?!!”

In a dark treasure pile. A faint shade of red appeared on Alisha’s cheeks.

“Suddenly?”

“No… I was just curious.”

“I don’t want to say anything.”

“No, why? Even if it’s something embarrassing…”

“I won’t do it anyway. Even Corin, you can’t do that.”

“Well then…”

A moment of silence. It was Alisha who broke the silence as a sweet, sweet scent appeared from her body, probably because she was sweating.

“Hey Corrin.”

“……why?”

“What do you think, sister?”

“Mr. Runia? Well… he’s a great person. He’s likeable.”

Runia is an upright person. I felt it as we fought together in the previous episode as well. Just by looking at her love-hate relationship with Alisha, you can see how upright a person she is.

“Likeable……”

“He’s a good person. He’s capable, he’s good, and he’s pretty. I think all men are like that, right?”

“is that so.”

Arisha is somewhat sullen. When my sister compliments me, why does the guy I secretly like suddenly act like this?

“……I see.”

Without even knowing the meaning of those faint mutterings, we soon left the treasure pile.

………

……

…

As I walked around the castle under the round moonlight, I came across a few giants, but I pretended that I was just taking a walk.

There is no warning in the giants’ eyes. As if no matter what we do, it’s of no use.

“There’s a solar eclipse the day after tomorrow, isn’t that a big deal?

” “…That’s right.”

“I heard the eclipse will be over in two hours? If we find it at the right time…”

“Skyes will have already gone through the proper process and received the sun.” We

cannot attack at that moment. Even if Skys doesn’t know, we are subject to Geass restrictions.

Doomno In order to rule out the biggest threat, which is Rix’s participation in the war, it is not okay to directly criticize people, even if it is because of Geass.

“Huh… Let’s gather our thoughts first. Uskias said that if you want to take Clausolas, you can only do it during a solar eclipse. Why?”

“You said the sun’s power weakens?”

“Yes, it’s not as strong as the real sun, but it has the sun’s power, so it’s impossible to even touch it.” ”

Then during a solar eclipse… it’s a magic that weakens the sun’s power . Is it because it’s an enemy season?”

“It’s similar to Nazrea.”

On Earth, it would be a simple astronomical phenomenon, but in this world, solar and lunar eclipses cause special magical phenomena. ”

But this also requires that Klau Solas can fully absorb sunlight . .”

“Based on that premise, a treasure trove that is blocked from light… Ah.”

Arisha remembered that the ceiling of the treasure trove was open.

“Then, will you be able to see it during the day?”

“…Maybe. .”

Something… something is strange.

Why was the treasure trove left in such a poor condition? Because

they, who must have been living there for a long time to protect the sun, are once again bothered?

No. We shouldn’t think of such expedient thinking.

“The giants are there to protect the treasure trove . No need?”

“…….”

Let’s make that assumption. A few places come to mind where the sun is hidden. On the roof of the castle? No, it’s too visible.

The square in the castle where the giants live? Isn’t it too close? A solar eclipse It is a treasure imbued with a powerful positive energy that must be waited for, but it is unlikely to have been placed in a place close to daily life.

“If there is even the slightest clue…”

I get nervous. There are extreme measures, but they should be put off until the last possible moment.

So , Now I have to go back to my room and think about it carefully…

“Mr. Corin. There’s no clue… there’s nothing to say.”

“Huh?”

I raised my head at Alisha’s words. Alisha’s face, full of moonlight, was shining brightly.

“What? Did you find any clues?”

“…Actually, I was worried about you from a while ago.”

Alisha got close to her face and whispered carefully.

────

Crazy.

It was definitely a trick that could have been used to knock one’s knee.

Daytime There is a place where sunlight can always be contained and will never reach it at night. However

, its

power is inevitably weakened on the day of a solar eclipse.

But if it is really there…

“Today is when the first full moon should rise. It’s a day.”

A being above the clouds that shows off the shape of a ‘full moon’.

A place that cannot be reached in the first place unless you are a legitimate visitor.

The ‘Sun’ Klau Solas was floating on the Sky Island disguised as the ‘Moon’.
