I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 14

[Mission Board (2)]

In this world, there is a category called Mine.

It is a molecule of the demon race, collectively known as demons, demons, and demons. In fact, this is also an earring when worn on the ear, and a nose ring when worn on the nose.

For example, just look at the special Demon Spirit Sebancia Duke.

After becoming a vampire, he awakened as a ‘Devil’. After that, his body disappeared, he was sealed, and he became a demonic spirit.

In this case, is Duke Sevancia an enemy of humanity? Is it a demon that constantly spreads murderous intent?

Mine is like that too. Although they may have awakened to demon status at some point, there are still people who retain their humanity and there are also people who have lost their reason.

In the case of Bicheon Yacha Hwaran, both are like time bombs that can deteriorate either way.

“…….”

The cynical expression without any softness and the eyes are even cruel.

The inside of her hair, which had turned red, was red as if symbolizing the devil, and the nun’s robe covering her entire body was closer to a straitjacket than a religious ritual.

“It’s Corin Locke. I think I saw you at the entrance ceremony?”

“…….”

There is no answer. The animal-like gaze is just staring at me.

In fact, it is safer to react like this. At least it meant that the ‘ban’ was working properly.

“You…”

“Huh?”

“It’s merged.”

“…….”

Can you see it?

A living corpse with two souls, a ‘human’ and a ‘monster’, living inside its body. This contradictory being is a ginger like a dwarf.

The spiritual eyes of those who are in the precarious middle ground between life and death see the color of the soul.

It’s not strange to notice the strangeness of Corin Locke, a merging of two souls.

“How does it feel to have your soul crushed and eaten?”

I never thought I would get criticism like this. No, is this a question that is possible because we are from the Netherlands?

“I don’t know!”

“what?”

“You know better, but this is not a matter that can be concluded. It just happens naturally.”

“……naturally?”

“Is there anything I can do? I have no choice but to do my best in the present.”

I worried a lot about this in the previous episode.

Are ‘Corin Locke’ and ‘me’ different people?

In fact, aren’t the assimilated memories of Corin Locke my own? So who is ‘I’ riding the tree of the South-Middle-South Solid Army on Earth?

But this was all useless.

In the end, neither I nor Park Si-hoo’s original souls showed up until the end, and it was the same until the moment I died.

But it might be different in the Netherlands. Because there is a real ‘original’ in Hwaran’s body.

“In the end, you are not the owner of your body. You are only a thief and a usurper. You have no rights.”

“…….”

Who is that being addressed to? It may seem like a harsh criticism, but I knew the agony this three-year-old child was going through.

Because the answer to that agony is divided into two branches.

“In the neighborhood next to my hometown, there is a person who turns into a green giant when he gets angry.”

“……What are you talking about?”

“My name is Bruce. He’s usually a smart guy, but when he gets angry, he turns into a green giant and beats me up senselessly. They hate each other.”

“Isn’t that bad?”

“No, I actually liked it. They both had different things they were good at. So later, when I became a Smart Green Man, I was disappointed. I ended up becoming someone who wasn’t good at anything.”

Did it have to be like that? Brother Russo!

“Anyway, what I remembered from that person’s story is that whether it’s the original or a newly formed soul, the two are different. Each has its own personality.”

This was also what I wanted from Hwaran.

“Like the example of Mr. Bruce and Brother Green, I believe that two souls can coexist in one body. There is no sin in being born.”

“…There are creatures in this world whose birth was a sin.”

After saying those words, Hwaran suddenly turned her head away from me. The reaction is bland.

We never got to meet Hwaran in the previous episodes. Most people think it was Park Si-hoo who spoke.

Hwa-ran, who tends to be interested in players, strangely lost interest in Park Si-hoo.

Maybe that’s why Park Si-hoo gritted his teeth and tried to kill Hwa-ran… but he failed.

Arisha Aden.

Because he killed Hwaran’s counter himself.

Bringing them into your team will definitely make the game easier.

Because Hwaran’s ‘Diamond Fire Ingot’ and ‘Magic Energy’ are only two skills, he ranks at the top of [The Legend of Arhan Heroes].

The problem is that the chain that replaces the amulet is removed and the golden chain is released… It is currently impossible to stop Hwaran in this state by force.

You can’t hold a bomb in your hand that you can’t handle.

“See you next.”

I said my usual greeting and walked away from Hwaran. I didn’t even notice that her eyes were focused on my back.

* * * *

The next day, I left the dormitory before I could hear the birds chirping, signaling the start of the weekend.

The place I headed was the mission board located south of the academy.

In the early part of [The Legend of Arhan Heroes], one of the conditions the player must clear to proceed with the main story is class, and the second is the mission board.

There are various missions on the board containing mission papers that Guardian Academy students can freely take.

From the city’s residents on a small scale to the official missions of the Guardian Association.

By accepting missions here, you can gain experience points and reputation, and raise your level to proceed with the main quest.

Of course, in the previous episode, as it was reality, it proceeded immediately when the time was right without that.

“hmm?”

Where the mission board is, there is a student looking at the mission board even though it is early.

The unique gi design and the sword on the side are hidden pieces whose value is incomparable to the entry-level spear I am holding.

“Arisha Aden?”

“Huh? Oh hello.”

Alicia bowed her head and greeted me.

“What kind of respect is there between classmates?”

“No, no, I’m comfortable this way.”

Was this a polite character? In the previous episode, I couldn’t see it because Park Ga-nom was killed, and the game record was 3 years ago, so I vaguely don’t remember it.

“Are you going to start receiving mission orders from the first weekend? Since it’s level 2, you probably aren’t in a hurry for performance or money, are you?”

“Uh… I need money too.”

“Eh?”

What does this mean again?

“It’s because our family is laissez-faire. It feels like you have to earn the bare minimum living expenses on your own…”

“Don’t the academy give you a grant to support your activities?”

Arisha Aden is a talented person who got level 2 right away without even needing to take a level test.

Considering that the activity support amount varies greatly depending on the level, the monthly activity support amount that Alisha receives would be about the same as my annual support amount.

“They said they wouldn’t give it to me…”

“Uh… why?”

“My parents’ income is in the 10th percentile…”

“……Ah.”

It is operated with operating subsidies from the Kingdom of El Ras and surrounding countries, which provide the land for Merkava Academy.

Since they do not charge tuition but rather provide subsidies, wealthy families do not provide support.

You have a lot of money at home, right? saying.

In Korea, it is similar to not giving a single penny of national scholarship to those with golden spoons.

“If you need to make money right away… I recommend the patrol mission here. You’re patrolling the outskirts of the city, but the pay is high because at least you get a hazard allowance and a life allowance if you encounter an actual monster.”

“Wow, at least 20 silver coins per day! My monthly allowance!”

Alisha smiled happily and opened the mission paper on the mission board. The daughter of a rich family has a monthly allowance of 20 silver coins…

“Even three people get this? Do you want to join us?”

“No, I have something else to do.”

It’s a golden weekend. I need to use this opportunity to complete as many necessary missions as possible and fill out my specifications.

I looked at the mission board, found the mission I wanted, and ripped it open.

“Uh… find me a butterfly?”

“I’m asking you to find a missing cat.”

“Um… the reward is forty silver coins, but isn’t it too uncertain?”

It is a level 5 mission to find a missing cat.

The success reward is 40 silver coins, which is higher than Arisha’s, but how can it be easy to find a cat that has been missing for more than three days?

“It’s okay. I’ve always been good at finding hidden animals.”

“Um… Since you gave me good information, I’d like to help, but I’m in a hurry for money…”

“Ah, you don’t have to help me much.”

As I passed through the main gate, leaving Alisha behind, security guard Will greeted me.

“Already on a mission? You’re sincere.”

“Good luck to you too, Will.”

“Huh? I have a name…”

“You have a name tag, right? Name tag.”

“Aha~ I hope Corinne succeeds in her mission too.”

I left security guard Will behind and headed to the client’s home address.

“Mister Knight, please be sure to find the butterfly!”

“……Oppa, oppa. Say you’re Anna’s knight oppa.”

“Mister Knight! Fighting!!”

“You too! Please take care of the driver. Please eat this while you work.”

“It’s a sandwich, everything like this.”

I received information about butterflies and the main route from the client, Anna, but it was only a formality.

Because I already know where the butterfly is.

The reason I chose this mission is because of the precepts.

Because of the ending of this quest, Miss Anna falls into misfortune. Compared to the main scenario, it is a minor misfortune in everyday life, but it must be so sad that a child will cry for three days and nights because of the shock.

Winning this mission is an opportunity to find out how the precepts work.

“Butterfly~”

The sewers of the city. The passageways that the city’s managers and occasionally come in and out of are full of flowing sewage and foul odors.

“Butterfly~ Let’s eat sausage~”

The side quest “Please find the butterfly” is a simple mission given to young knights and wizards.

Of course, as it appears in the game, it is a quest with its own story.

‘The problem is that it’s a quest to save a cat, but the cat is already dead.’

According to the original rule, you search for the butterfly’s haunting places and ask questions, and only after two days do you find out that the butterfly went into the sewer.

“Butterfly~ Climb out quickly!”

What I found out in the game was a cat bone that looked like it had been digested and a name tag… It was a pretty bloody story.

Why are you taking cute girls and giving them quests, but the content is so bloody? It’s not some kind of cruel fairy tale.

Anyway, in the game, if you see that the poop is warm, the only explanation is that it was recently eaten, so the quest ended with a bad feeling.

“Nyaooong~!”

“Good.”

It’s true that the smell of Vienna sausages makes me crazy. I managed to smell sausages in this sewer.

“Butterfly, come here~”

It was hard to see because it was dark at night, but I could see that its pale fur was dirty. Even the cat collar and dog tag… it’s perfect.

“I won’t hurt you, Butterfly. Come on~ Here’s your favorite sausage~”

I don’t know how to treat cats. On Earth, people hated cats because they were allergic to them.

“what!”

“Huh!?”

Did he even sense my murderous intent? The butterfly stopped looking at the sausage and ran into the sewer.

“Where are you going? Cat Shack!!”

I knew it would be like this! I immediately chased after him.

However, inside the sewer, it is difficult to look even an inch ahead, and only the stench of water and a cool breeze blows.

Unlike animals, human eyes have a hard time getting used to the dark, but they all have their tricks.

『ᛞ』──Dagaraj

instantly engraved runes on his skin. The effect is temporary vision enhancement. To be exact, it’s just a little easier to see in the dark.

“Come on!”

“Nyaaa!”

It’s enough not to miss a cat running away from the sewer.

“No matter what you do, you’re still an animal.”

First of all, it is the lowest level of superhumanity. Catching a butterfly was not difficult.

“what?!”

“I got you!”

I immediately caught the butterfly. He growled at the sight, but he became calm when I fed him sausage.

“I don’t think Miss Anna will be unhappy.”

I thought it was a simple solution, but the butterfly’s behavior was strange. I don’t think it’s because I’m shivering because I’m cold.

-Sreuk…!

The prices fluctuated. It’s somewhat artificial to be called a water current. My judgment was quick.

-Kwasik!

-puck!

With one arm, he stabbed the spear into the water and stuck it all the way to the bottom. I can see the writhing lump of flesh becoming limp.

When I lifted the spear and pulled it up, a monster with his head pierced appeared.

A humanoid monster with an ugly face full of grumpiness, a skinny body, and a pot belly.

“Sugui.”

It’s not that surprising. Because water spirits sometimes live in human sewers, etc. Well-armed guards regularly clean the sewers, so it is not a very threatening monster.

‘The problem is that, as weak as it is, it is not a monster that travels alone.’

This must be why the cat Nabi was eaten. When I think about it, I remember seeing ghosts on the field in games.

“Geueeeeek!”

“Gyaaa! Gyaaa!”

Two male beasts crawling out of the water. In reality, it looks quite clever.

“Are you intentionally making noise and waiting for your colleagues to surprise you?”

He removed the fish ear impaled on the spear and stabbed it towards the ceiling behind his back.

-Pukwaang!

“That’s it…”

There’s no need to look back. The snake that tried to hit me in the back of the head by climbing the wall of the sewer died with its heart pierced by a spear.

“I learned the manual for dealing with you all from the Lotheon River.”

Although Park Ga-nom burst the dam and committed mass murder along with the villagers.

“Gya gyaaa!”

Even though I put my head into it, it was still a low-level monster. The pattern of wisdom squeezed out is obvious.

-Boo!

I kicked the beast that was trying to climb up, causing it to fall down, and struck the beast that was holding my ankle from the top of its head with a spear.

The beast got up again and tried to rush at him, but he pierced its mouth with the tip of the spear and threw it into the water.

-Ugh! Ufufu!

“A guy named Su-gwi can’t even breathe underwater?”

They only live near water because their skin dries out unless they are in a wet and humid place. Although he struggled, he soon became calm.

“Nya nyaa….”

The butterfly seemed to be completely frightened when the beast spirits that were chasing it to eat it lost their breath.

“I saved you from almost becoming shit.”

As soon as I safely returned the butterfly to Anna, a message arrived.

[Duty Execution – Anna Macmillan]

※ Difficulty: E

※ Reward: 5 points equally distributed

“……The reward is tight.”

“Mr. Knight! Thank you for finding the butterfly!”

“Kid, it’s your brother. It’s Corin’s brother. Won’t you tell me it’s Corin’s brother?”

Mentally, I’m about to be in my thirties, but my body is like a teenager, so I’m fine!

“Uncle Corin, do you want to go eat? My mom’s food is delicious!”

“…….”

The smile of this beautiful woman who is sure to become a beautiful woman in the future seems to be worth 5 points.

* * * *

“This is not it!”

Mr. Yoon, who runs a small fried chicken restaurant in Merkava City, was eager to develop new menu items again today.

A cramped store of about two pyeong (approximately 2 pyeong). Although the main business is afternoon business, Mr. Yoon, who comes to work in the morning, has been focusing on the seasoning for fried chicken for over half a year.

“Not this either!”

This marinade contains over ten ingredients, including garlic, carrots, and peppers, brought from my hometown! I wanted to, but when I fried it with chicken, the batter spread all over.

“Uh… what the hell is the problem?”

At first, I just wanted to make chicken that was delicious even when it was cold. It’s been half a year since I became stubborn.

Mr. Yoon changed the mixture once again, added red pepper powder and minced garlic, and was ready to boil.

-Suddenly!

“That’s not it.”

“huh?”

The door burst open and a boy appeared.

“Starch syrup. Add starch syrup.”

A passing scholar appears.
