I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 124
Wizards of the Mage Tower (2) Illustration
“Manroji…”
Elder Morshtan, the head of the black school among the nine schools of magic in the Mage Tower, received news again about his disciple who had not returned for the last time two days ago. asked.
“I’m sorry, Elder Morshtan… I haven’t found Priest Manroji yet…”
“…….”
“Oh, I guess… he’s probably wandering around the gambling den. It’s not uncommon for him to stay drunk at a gambling den for several nights.”
Manroji is one of Morshtan’s disciples. In a magic tower with a total of 8 floors, a 4th floor wizard is a fairly skilled disciple.
There was no way he would have made a mistake at a back alley gambling house… If we were to think with common sense, we should have assumed that he had fallen into the trap and could not escape.
But other possibilities can also be considered.
There is a possibility that Manroji is… the golden mage Aedrin.
If he is someone who changes his face at will, it is possible that he trapped one of the members of the group and joined them when the magic corps moved.
The owner of the magic tower of which only rumors abound. Lord Aedrin. He receives instructions directly from Ardri Tates Balthazar, the God of Light and Usurpator.
This vampire capture operation was also ordered by Ardri, and he only heard of the ‘Vampire Lord’ plan, but neither Elder Morshtan nor Elder Ardmalek knew the detailed plan.
If his student Manroji is actually Aidrin in disguise, he may have taken action.
“Send Relin. Find Manroji’s whereabouts.”
“I understand, Elder Morstan.”
Still, I’ll have to check. After giving orders to his disciples, Morshtan focused on the materials in the Great Library.
It’s not time yet. This order is big.
Securing the body of the vampire Marie Dunareff… and killing the chairman of the board, Eriu Casar.
Causing such a major incident is a burden even for the Magic Tower. Therefore, you should aim for a more certain time.
“Wow Ren. Deepta bigaa.”
“Stop making a fuss. I told you to be quiet in the library.”
“Hmph… Ren always says something to me.”
A first-year brother and sister who visited the library to prepare for an assignment caught the attention of the warlock Morshtan.
“…beasts.”
These are the tribes that the princess who supports the Magic Tower is displeased with. There… there were no demons like this in the experiment because they were so strong and durable.
“you.”
“Yes, Elder Morshtan.”
“Find out about those little guys.”
Morstan stared at the siblings with a gloomy expression. That reluctant gaze pierced the siblings for a very long time.

Classroom. I was training with Arisha.
“Senior, this is first-year student Rosé.”
“Oh, junior Rose. What’s going on?”
“Actually, a difficult part arose during the weapon design process…”
At the last Hunting Ground practice, I sprinkled magic stones on 400 new students.
All of them are medium to upper grade magic stones of grade 3 or higher. While handing out these items, I told the new students to come and visit us if they had any difficulties in designing weapons.
“What’s going on, Corrin?”
“Oh, my junior came to visit me. I’m taking a break.”
“Yes~”
Alisha, who was sweating profusely, wiped her sweat with the provided towel and started drinking bottled water.
“Did I… get in the way?”
“Huh? No. Don’t feel pressured. What part is difficult?”
“Actually, here is the magic circuit where the joints and blades connect…”
I have made weapons in [The Legend of Arhan Heroes] thousands and thousands of times. He knows how to combine certain materials to achieve optimal efficiency.
I gave sincere advice to my junior, and although he did not understand everything, he took notes diligently and absorbed my advice.
“That’s enough. Rather than Fergus… go to that guy Holgren. He’s better at making great swords.”
“Oh, thank you!”
“Bring it to me when it’s completed. I’ll check its condition.”
“Four! Thank you so much!”
Junior Rosé is leaving. Looking at her junior, Alisha straightened her loose hair and said.
“This is the third person today. Doesn’t it bother you?”
“It would be beneficial to survive by giving a few words of advice to younger juniors.”
“Hmm…”
“Why?”
“It’s just that. I feel like I’m losing something.”
“Because it seems like my training keeps stopping? I’m sorry. I told you I would be here during this time.”
“…That’s it. Yes, that’s it.”
Why are you vague and not clear?
“That’s right, Corin. This is our ‘Love and War’ liberal arts class. Are you ready for next week’s assignment?”
“Hah, that’s right.”
Love and War is one of the classes I applied for as a first semester liberal arts class.
Since it is a 2-credit, 2-hour class per week related to theater, I thought it would be a nice class where you would just watch a play and end with writing a review… “There are a lot of things you are asked to do. They ask you to go see a play, write a review of the play, and have
discussions. And… the final task was that each group had to do a play, right?”
“Isn’t it nice, Joe? There are a lot of things to experience and a lot to think about…” “
In the meantime, shall we stop training here and do homework together at the cafe?”
“Is that so? Then I’ll buy the coffee!”
We headed straight to a nearby cafe.
The cafe on campus bakes desserts and bread every day for students to use, and is always crowded with many people using it to study.
When I was in college, I didn’t understand the cafe study group because I only worked out, but now that I’ve been at the academy for 6 years, I understand them now.
There are a lot of temptations at home. Watching this on TV, doing that on the computer… SNS, which is a waste of life, becomes just like the saying if you spend time fiddling with it on your bed.
On the other hand, places like cafes and reading rooms have less temptation. Even if the chair is not soft, you can’t do anything else, so you can naturally focus on studying.
Of course, it’s case by case.
“In the end, this is an affair disguised as a fateful romance.”
“But Yeoju was from an unlucky family. Her husband was also very cruel to her.”
“It’s a personal family matter. He may not be a good husband, but that doesn’t justify having an affair.”
“Ugh… That’s not true…”
“The narrative between each other was romantic and the situation could have been. But in the end, it’s a matter of the packaging.”
I spoke in principle and Alicia responded emotionally. It seems that I was quite impressed by that adultery play.
“What if! Corrin, don’t you think he would have had an affair?!”
“Huh? Hey, why are you saying that?”
“You have to empathize with the main characters as well. That’s right. For example, let’s say Corin and your sister are in a husband and wife relationship.”
“Why is Runia here?”
“You were even going to get engaged!”
“I told you before that it’s fake.”
“Because it’s family law!”
Alisha came out holding bread and coffee with serious eyes and pointed to Runia.
“Your brother-in-law is having a family affair with your sister, right? That lease period… boredom? I guess it’s something like that.”
“Tongue brother-in-law?”
“In that situation, what if I seduce my brother-in-law?”
“…Seductively?”
“Yes! …………… Oh no, it’s the subjunctive mood.”
You were embarrassed because you said yes so confidently. It’s subjunctive, right? It’s subjunctive, right?
“Suppose you have a sister-in-law who is young, pretty, and inexperienced, but loves her brother-in-law…”
Alisha quietly sat down next to me and looked up at me.
“Brother-in-law… I like that brother-in-law.”
Bright blue eyes look up at me. An alluring… and somewhat bewitching gaze. The slightly flushed red heat flower stimulated my heart.
“What if I say this?”
“Wouldn’t it be normal to refuse…?”
“I’m not that attractive?!”
“Why does the story turn out like that?…”
It’s a dilemma. If you have an affair, it becomes a moral issue, and if you don’t, it’s like telling a girl that you’re not attractive.
Should I choose to lie here, even for the sake of social relationships?…
“Wait a minute.”
“Mr. Corrin?”
“Let’s change the situation. You and I are married, and Mr. Runia is seducing him. Of course, I don’t think Mr. Runia would seduce his brother-in-law, but…” “Ha, you’re going to do it?
”
“Yes?”
“It’s nothing! Anyway, Corin and I got married… right?”
Alisha looks embarrassed, crossing her fingers. I’m not even an elementary school student…”
“That’s right…?”
“How many children did you have?”
“Kids? Uh… wouldn’t it have been normal to have one or two children?”
“It’s not enough! It’s definitely more than twelve!”
“……Is it possible?”
Even if you give birth to triplets in four years, it’s not enough?
“That’s what you’re saying. It’s always good to have more children.”
Hearing those words, I quickly lowered my gaze to Alisha’s stomach. To be honest, she has a slender figure that would be dangerous even if she gave birth to twins… ”
Anyway, you are my wife. In that situation, let’s say Mr. Runia is tempting me. Are you okay?”
“Uhm……”
“Isn’t it something to worry about?!”
“Uh… ha, but you love Corin?”
” huh? Wouldn’t it be like that if you tried to commit an affair?”
“I love you… but it’s unfortunate that we can’t end up together…” Is
that how it is? Aren’t you being too good at back-pedaling? A little more selfish. No, think with common sense….
“Hmm…! If you truly love Corin! I think it’ll be okay!”
“I’m starting to get scared of your view on marriage…”
“If you deny that in the first place… you’re denying my origins as well.”
“Uh…”
That’s… a thought. Have you been doing this? I feel sorry for stepping on an unnecessary landmine.
“Arisha, your birth was… not your fault.”
“… I know. So, Corin.”
Alicia looked embarrassed and scratched the back of my hand in circular motions with her fingers. As if she was leaving it to me. “Please
love Corin without discrimination, even if she is an illegitimate child.”
That… she was saying this under the premise that I would commit an affair. Are you a beggar?
Alisha’s expression was so serious that she couldn’t bear to say that.
“It’s good if everyone gets along well! I’m starting a big family and building a really big house!”
What do you mean? So if I marry Arisha, does that mean I can live with other women as well? I feel
like something’s wrong, but I can’t say it’s wrong. If I say it wrong, it’s Tallulah’s fault…
“Hehe, it’s not bad. Even if you give birth to only thirteen, there will be at least twenty-six!”
Arisha’s slightly off-kilter view of family could not be pointed out until the end.

Among the magicians who visited this time, Relin was a third-level disciple of the Black Magic School.
“Mr. Ha… Manroji . This bald head. Where are you wandering around?”
Now that he is walking alone, Relin is criticizing the priest who is in his prime. Wherever he goes, he is treated poorly.
“That bald head? well? He took a lot of money.”
“There were people who suspected that he was scamming me.”
Following Manroji’s usual pattern, he seems to have been gambling in the back alleys of the city.
“Haa…”
But it was obvious. has disappeared. Information on the last sighting is confusing.
Some say he went out drunk, while others say he went out with prostitutes at his side with the money he earned.
The wizards of the Magic Tower may be good at magic, but they are bad at researching information. What do you want from a desk head?
“Damn baldness. Damn Morshtan. I didn’t enter the Magic Tower to mess around like this…” The
probationary period for the Magic Tower is longer and more difficult than expected.
It takes a year to learn even one piece of magic knowledge from old elders, and many years are wasted doing chores in the name of training.
It is not a teacher-student relationship like in an academy, but is closer to an apprentice relationship, so magic is not taught carelessly.
“Just let this matter be over. I’ll transfer to the red faction right away. In the red faction, all I have to do is please that old man…”
Relin was a low-level wizard, but he had a fairly decent appearance.
Even old people who claim to have magical pride and noble spirit can’t come to their senses if you take off the hem of your robe and show off your thighs.
Relin, who had been mumbling around with only vague information, went in search of a good bar nearby.
The sea has a more sophisticated and pleasant atmosphere than the bar where Manroji went to gamble. Intelligent people like wizards should use places like this, dirty bald heads… Relin once again criticizes his senior.
“Did you come alone?”
“uh?”
At that time, someone naturally sits next to me. Relin knows who he is.
“You…”
A guide given by the Academy. Even if I don’t know the name of the driver, Naburangi, I remember it when I see his face.
“This is Corin Locke. Miss Relin.”
“…Why is a minor in a bar?”
“It’s where my uncle runs it.”
Instead of hastily sitting down, he leaned next to her and looked at Relin.
“Can I buy you a drink?”
“it’s okay.”
“Uncle Paul, two martinis here.”
Even though Corin refuses, she still buys a drink and sits down. Naturally, Relin’s eyes turned to Corin.
“Aren’t you too young to post work comments?”
“Oh, you’re a wizard. Think rationally.”
“…Rationally what?”
“There are flowers, so it’s natural for bees to be attracted.”
“Flowers? Bees? Hahaha…!”
“This is the working message. It hasn’t even started yet.”
Relin was not offended by the spirit world’s manipulations. She was already at the mercy of the old people at the Magic Tower.
Even receiving an orphaned girl for biological testing requires submitting dozens of reports. There is no way I would hate the spirit world that tempts me with its sweet gaze and voice.
‘Well, it’s much better than that old man Jolin.’
Relin remembered the old wizard who tempted him to take the position of secretary to a professor-level wizard when he transferred to the Red Faction.
She soon decided to enjoy this brief escape.
“Oh, there’s alcohol.”
Corin receives a drink from the bartender and hands it to Relin.
“That’s surprising. Do the wizards of the Magic Tower also drink alcohol?”
“It’s a prejudice. Rather, we tend to drink heavily.”
“There is a prejudice that they are intelligent and elite.”
“That’s not prejudice.”
“Hey, how about an experiment? The Magic Tower is famous for research. Don’t they make things like rabbits with horns?”
“Well, rabbits are good to use as laboratory animals. That’s why things went astray.”
“What have you done recently? Please tell me about it. My friend is thinking of entering the Magic Tower soon, so I’m very worried.”
…………
………
……
“You’re Corin.”
“…What are you talking about?”
While I was leaving for a moment under the pretext of going to the bathroom, Alisha gave me a cold, accusatory look.
“Where on earth did you learn that?”
“what?”
“You’re flirting with women!”
Ah, I guess I misunderstood.
Actually, it is true that he approached me to flirt. However, there is room for misunderstanding that I am an expert at seducing women.
“No, is there anyone who doesn’t like buying alcohol?”
“…Nothing, right?”
There’s no one who doesn’t like free stuff. Even if you secretly reject it, you will like it if you buy it.
“Originally, people like to be the subject of conversation.”
“…So you didn’t talk about Corin at all?”
“That’s right. Just listening to what the other person says is half the battle.”
Wow, you are amazing~ You are a really interesting person~ If you become the subject of conversation in this way, the other person will feel good too.
“I think you apply that too well when it comes to seducing women…”
“What?”
“It’s nothing. Just finish whatever’s left.”
“Okay, I’m waiting here. I’ll finish it right away.”
My back was itching from the strange gaze, but I had to go and seduce Lelin again. It’s my first time flirting with a girl, but I think it’s going pretty well.
“I’ve been waiting for Lelin…”
“Wow, look at the shade of your lipstick. It’s really pretty. Where is it from?”
Relin’s seat has returned. Next to him was a slim and beautiful woman.
Shiny pink hair and green eyes like emeralds. A bright smile reflects a bright presence even in a dark bar.
“It’s Estella. What’s your name?”
“Le Relin……”
Estelle Hadassa El Ras. The first princess of this country and a Protestant saint.
“Can I buy you a drink?”
Why is your sister here?
