I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 110
Engagement Ceremony (5)
Runia has only followed the sword path for 28 years.
Since she was young, she has been called a prodigy and has received everyone’s expectations as the only successor, and she has fully responded to that expectation.
One day, the house was in an uproar.
“Are you telling me to raise an illegitimate child?”
“I can’t help it. In any case, he is Aden’s blood relative.”
An illegitimate child.
Runia, who was only ten years old, knew what those words meant.
“It’s your younger brother.”
A newborn baby who is not yet one year old.
The child, wrapped in an old, rough cloth, was rejected and pushed away by everyone, and ended up in Runia’s hands.
-Hey!
Nevertheless, the child was smiling brightly as if he knew nothing.
When I saw the newborn baby in my hands, I thought it was so adorable that I held it out to the parents as if showing off.
“Look, father and mother. “You just touched my cheek.”
“……”
Long silence. A gritty look. I realized it too late.
An illegitimate child born from the head of the family’s affair. He was born after killing his mother due to a difficult birth and is an unwelcome entity that will disrupt the structure of the next successor.
ah. This child is not welcome anywhere.
The mother who gave birth dies from a difficult birth and is accused of being the bitch who ate the mother, and
the father who sowed the seed denies the evidence of his affair by saying, “I don’t know.”
The mother, the only victim, was disappointed in everything and remained silent.
Even servants turn a blind eye to a child who cries because he cannot eat baby food, calling it dirty blood.
I understood that I was the only one who cared about this child.
「Mama… piggyback!」
「Why, I’m taller! Baba, it’s over 100 centimeters now!」
「Sister! I’m going to become a great knight like you!”
“Oh, sister… I’m going to the academy tomorrow.”
I watched everything about that child.
He is a weak-hearted child who cannot take care of his fair share unless I take care of him.
“Lu Runia Aden, the 1st Swordmaster… I request a friendly sparring as a new instructor of the Aden style.”
Less than half a year has passed since I was sent to the academy. The child has changed.
Corin Locke.
A being who changed a stagnant and buried child.
An outstanding knight with talent and hard work. I recognized it right away.
That this man has changed my younger brother, and my younger brother has a crush on him.
‘As always, the dullness of not being able to take care of my own things is still the same.’
I raised him on my piggyback for 17 years. We can clearly see what kind of personality Arisha is.
If I snatch that boy… will this dull thing come to its senses?
It won’t be boring to watch that.
“Won’t you marry me?”
I asked once, thinking there might be some pressure for an arranged marriage, but the look on the child’s face was a sight to behold.
It was even more shocking that he couldn’t even notice my feelings.
Well, it’s a fake engagement anyway. Once things quiet down, it will naturally be destroyed and Corin Locke will be free.
A contract for what both parties want. Although it was something he did to stimulate his younger brother…
“Every single one of these calluses is Runia-san’s history, proof of his efforts, and attitude to life. “Is there a need to be ashamed of this?”
“If there is someone who says something, that idiot is narrow-minded. “Because this is a beautiful charm that only you have.”
The more I met him, the more there was something about this man that penetrated my heart.
A natural hobbyist.
A person who walks the path of suffering on his own.
My heart pounded at that conviction and manliness.
Maybe to the point where I want to make this engagement real, not fake.
However, this is a cowardly act.
This engagement must be false.
The strongest knight in the East, known as the Swordsman, was always confident in himself.
“What are you doing here?”
“Oh, sister…”
I looked down at my little sister who had followed me on my date and read the fighting spirit in the child’s eyes.
“Heh…”
Were we finally at the point where we could compete?
It would be a waste to take it away like this and make it a fait accompli.
The fun will be in taking it more confidently.
「Do you like it?」
「Yes? Who who? Who?」
「Always use your tongue evenly. “Isn’t that your age now?”
“I’m sorry…”
“Hmph.”
Runia said to Alisha, who was lowering her head, as if she was talking to herself.
“The key to this engagement is to avoid an arranged marriage. It’s a kind of buying time. In short, there is no need to get engaged as long as it buys time.”
“Huh, sister?”
“Yes. Right. If someone shows up at the engagement ceremony and runs away with your fiancé in tow… you won’t even want to meet anyone for a while due to the shock of heartbreak
. ”
Should be.
A fair and fair victory will be the sweetest America.
“This engagement! It’s the opposite…!”
I can give in just this once. I realized my heart and looked forward to the day when I could take it from my brother who was ready to win.
“Oh, Alisha? What are you doing now?”
“Follow me!”
“Huh? Uh huh?”
Tup! Corinne Locke, led by a grasping hand. I was so dumbfounded that I was dragged away without any time to resist.
“What are they doing? Chase after them now!”
Sophia giving instructions to the family prosecutors. But soon a huge shadow appeared in the sky.
-Quaang!
The identity of the falling shadow. Hresvelg, a large passenger ship specializing in the south.
“Corrin Alisha…!”
The eldest daughter of a southern agricultural empire. A girl with characteristic aquamarine hair and an apprentice nun from Zion Cathedral stretched out their arms as if waiting.
“Eck? Eck?? Eck???”
Corin boards the Hresvelg without knowing anything. And Arisha.
“let’s go…!”
The number of passengers is soaring, spreading its wings violently. Sophia and the guests’ complexions turned pale at the unprecedented situation of her fiancé being kidnapped by the family’s half-brother.
Runia is the only one smiling while looking at that scene.
“Hahahaha…!”
“Lu Lunia?”
“Oh my mother. The girl is so shocked.”
“Oh no, but why are you smiling…”
“Ha~ I’m so shocked that I don’t want to meet men for a while.”
“Huh? Wait no. Runia?”
The guests’ attention is focused on seeing Runia disappear from the ceremony site with a lively gait.
In this way, the small engagement ceremony held in Aden, a famous swordsman in the East, ended with a pato.
…………
………
……
“Hey, what’s going on right now?”
Corin Locke is dumbfounded. To him, Alisha took out a letter from her pocket.
“Well… Corin. My sister told me to give this to you.”
“……This.”
“I will formally pick you up later. “My fiancée.”
“Oh…”
“What does it say?”
“…You don’t have to know.”
* * * *
Running through the night.
Every direction is filled with armies of the dead, and screaming sounds fill the city.
By nature, the dead are jealous and hate the living. They all rushed towards the fresh and green live fish that caught their eye.
From the boulevards, alleys, rooftops… even the sky.
A silver body shape embroiders the night sky, and ink-colored maggots chasing it overshadow it.
-Whoosh!
“this…!”
Abyss Shrieker, an undead bat that hides itself in the clouds and dives down in an instant. Those huge wings attack the silver god.
-Quaaaagh…!
A new model that is falling. The acceleration due to the impact and gravity are added, and a weapon called the earth strikes the delicate body.
“Kuh…!”
The third night. A strange sight where the undead form an army, form a line, act as a group, and flock to eat just one person.
10,000 undead surrounded a single spearman.
“Ha~ If only I had found that guy a long time ago.”
The undead Abyss Shrieker, a giant flying beast that attacked him.
As they are free beings that fly in the sky, they are not easy to find and track, so they are always the last to be killed.
Because of that free route, this strategy went awry. We have to hurry and defeat the Immortal King…
“I have no choice.”
Silver new type… Erin Danua grabbed the spear and summoned magical power.
The runes engraved on the spear holder glow with the infused magic and are engraved into shapes. At the same time…
-Quaa!
-Quaaaang…!
-??!!!
The dead are distorted by embarrassment. Storms and flames began to rise from all directions and attacked them.
“It’s not like we just played around for 300 years.”
The only privilege for Erin, who continues endless repetition, is that she can walk around the city even during the day when the dead cannot function.
The runes carved into the city over a period of 300 years are an emergency measure for times like this.
Thousands of undead were massacred at once. A feat that even a great wizard would find difficult to achieve. Leaving the burning corpses behind, Erin heads toward the bat that flew into the sky to escape the flames.
“The moment you showed yourself to me was the end of your short life.”
A soaring silver spear. The silver spear that soars straight pierces the Abyss Shrieker at once.
Goesan Oui.
That deadly magic spear shot down the Lord of the Sky of Nazrea with a single blow.
“Hehe, let’s take a break.”
There is still a lot of time left. Recover your stamina and defeat the Immortal King.
The grim reaper appeared in front of Erin, who hid in an alley because it became a nuisance for the dead to stick around.
《You look happy.》
“Do you look like that?”
Erin does not deny the Reaper’s words. Why?
The Shinigami does not know the reason.
A boy who appeared here in Nazrea five months ago. There was someone who confidently declared that he would stop repeating the three days and received treasure from the envoy.
Corin Locke.
Disciple of the original ‘Erin Danua’.
A man who declared that he would save the woman who remained cloned after the lunar eclipse 300 years ago.
The Shinigami still observed daily life that had continued for 300 years.
What has changed since that day is that Erin always looks down at the panoramic view of the city from the same place after solving a problem.
“So! This is what Corin says…!”
Erin’s excited voice is somewhat reproachful.
《I’ve already heard it several times…》
The Shinigami’s voice stretched as if he was fed up. However, if anything about the boy comes up, he doesn’t care and just repeats the same story.
We’re old friends, but… honestly, I think it’s a ploy.
“This time I want to save you.”
Do old friends know? When he talks about his students, he smiles brightly without noticing that he is turning red.
That she, who had been living in shadowy darkness for 300 years, shines like a moon goddess.
“Ah~ I miss Corinne.”
Although we have known each other for over a thousand years, the last queen of the fallen gods smiles with a big, foolish smile like a girl in love.
“You will see it soon. Now the expiration date is approaching.》
“……That’s right.”
When this story comes up again on the subject that I sang about and wanted to see so much, I quickly lose my temper.
Purify 1.2 million souls of Nazrea within six months. A feat impossible for one human being. Because I risked my soul and made a contract with the Shinigami.
“Reaper… perhaps?”
“I’ve said it several times, but it doesn’t work. Once a contract has been made, it cannot be canceled or modified.》 He made
several persistent attempts to change the subject of the contract to himself. Even though she knew this, this woman persuaded the envoy again and again.
“yet… It’s a child. Depriving the karma of reincarnation… is too cruel
.” 《It is the choice of the deceiver, queen. You are the one who encourages the hero. The one who teaches, trains, and gives wisdom and secrets. Do not try to play any more role than that. Don’t forget why Goidel’s spear knife wasn’t aimed at you.》
“That child… will walk the path of a hero
?
” ….I see. The world is facing a crisis again.”
The appearance of a hero. This means that a crisis is coming.
Shinigami and Erin, who have lived for a long time, knew the signs better than anyone else.
“It’s harsh…. ”
She taught and sent out countless heroes. She is the teacher of the heroes. She is the queen of the Shadow Kingdom who teaches wisdom, magic, and secret arts. Because she is such a being, the Shinigami
suggested that Erin Danua be cloned and left behind in Nazrea.
The guardian of the world . Because I understand the role of a teaching queen.
“Reaper… what happens to me when Nazrea is purified and I am free from the shackles of this place?”
…………………
Answer It wasn’t long. At that clear answer, Erin makes a sad expression.
“It’s a little… unfortunate.”
《This is also cause and effect.》
“I know. Me too… but I still regret it.”
How much time has passed? Erin got up from the bed in the private house where she was catching her breath and stretched her sore body. ”
Then… shall we go?”
The night is coming to an end. Now, what’s left ? The goal is to end the last night by defeating the immortal king Gerolg.
Erin heads to the residential area where he is. After trudging up the stairs to the warlock’s residence…
“You’re late? Have you had dinner?”
Corin Locke.
The young hero with his unique wild nature was welcoming Erin.
“Huh?”
“What? I thought you’d welcome me?”
His head fluttered. He jumped from the roof of a residential area with a blank stare that seemed like he couldn’t believe it, and slowly approached.
“I took care of Gerol.”
“Huh? Huh?”
Contrary to her embarrassment, Corin Locke smiled brightly and stroked her cheek.
That natural action made my heart pound and my heart beat faster.
“I told you so. I’m going to save you this time.”
Looking at the boy’s smile, my heart races to the point where it’s hard to breathe. Every time my calloused palm touches my skin, it feels like a tingle of electricity goes up. I know. I should have known it was coming. “I came to save you,
Erin
. “
Why does a shiver run up my back?
