I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 142
Corin Guardians (5)
“I guess we’ll end this today.”
While everyone was receiving posture corrections and lessons again, Master dismissed us.
“It’s already evening. I didn’t notice because the sun was up.”
“……rice.”
“Corin! Do you want to go out to eat downtown?”
“Is that so?”
Since this will happen more often from now on, I need to prepare dinner separately or find something to eat.
Since the office location is good, it won’t be difficult to find a restaurant.
“Corrin, please stay for a moment.”
“Master?”
I looked at her for a moment and then spoke to the Guardians.
“Please eat without me today.”
The space left after sending the members away. Master Erin came up to me and stroked my head.
“You did great today. Your proficiency was high not only in the basics but also in the advanced areas.”
“Still… it’s just not enough.”
A battle with Tates Balthazar. I was convinced as I clashed spears with him.
He didn’t do his best against me. Nevertheless, we were overwhelmingly inferior in skill.
“Don’t worry too much about what happened to Tates. I’m teaching you to narrow the gap.”
“i look forward to.”
She raised her tiptoes, stroked my head, and retrieved the spear with the rune of return.
“The reason I asked you to stay was to make you aware of another power within you. A power that you cannot control and are just using as an energy store.”
“Sevancea Duke’s core…”
“It’s been a long time since I heard that name. He was a hot girl.”
“Do you know?”
“Of course. He was my student 800 years ago.”
“Yes?”
Duke Sevancia, the great hero who ruled the continent 800 years ago, was Master’s disciple?
“Yes. He was wandering around for about three years, but when he was young, he received my teachings and went out into the world.”
The teacher remembers that at that time, she was called an ageless witch and there were evil rumors going around.
“That child, who was young at the time, rose to prominence and became a great hero 20 years later. Even though it didn’t end well…”
I told the story of encountering the spirit of Sevancia Duke in the library. The teacher looked surprised, as if he didn’t know.
“It looks like a kid named Arum, who was a student about 100 years ago, put it there. At the time, when the Great Library was being built, I had a lot of my collections, but students here and there brought them in.”
Looking at things like this, it seems like we don’t know how the relationship will lead.
“The fact that Sevancia’s core was planted in you must have been another fate.”
Master said, tapping my spear with his own.
“Try to unleash that power.”
I am the auror core within me. To be exact, the aura was raised from Sevancia’s core.
[The 1st Demon Spear, Heukhyeon (黑玄).]
“Sebancia used the power of the Auror Core in the weapon. But that is not the true way to use it.”
The Master’s spear touches the pitch-black silver spear. Then, the black aura that resided in the silver spear began to move to her spear.
“Huh?”
“It is evidence that Auror management is immature. Above all, it is because they do not understand the nature of Sebancia’s Aurors.”
The Master’s spear, which had completely absorbed the aura, turned black. She raises her spear high… and slams it down as if making the sign of the cross.
[The 2nd Demon Spear, Five Dragons Heavenly Fall]
────Gwaaaaaaaa!
A roar that echoes through paradise. The spreading aura splits the clouds and inflicts wounds on the world.
“It is a power honed just for the purpose of beheading the five evil dragons who are disturbing the kingdom. The result is… Corin knows, right?”
“Look, this is the power of heaven and earth. “When I was young, I was the force that killed the dragon.”
I gulped and swallowed the saliva that had gotten into my throat. A power that would appear in any legend… Although it was an actual legendary hero.
“You have three tasks first.”
“You will get used to it until the first sun materializes.”
“Second, improving pure creative skills. We will complete true infinity.”
“Finally, we must master this power left behind by Sevancia. We must imbue the first magic spear weapon with an aura, release the aura through the second magic spear weapon, and learn the final magic.”
The Master releases all of the black aura contained in the spear and smiles while holding the shining white spear.
It is a perfect and clean auror operation. How long did it take to build up that level of skill? What about Sebancia?
“Can I… follow along?”
At that very moment, Master’s spear rushes towards me. Sharp anticipation. When the window is blocked, the air pressure generated by the window causes the surroundings to vibrate.
-Guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…!
residual wave. A sharp wind blows around the area.
A light surprise attack. With just one stab… various phenomena shake the space.
“Who do you think is in front of you? I am the beginning of this world’s guardian. The teacher of countless heroes. I am the goddess of heroes.”
Danan of justice.
Teacher of heroes.
Guardian of humanity.
“Having trained countless geniuses, I am convinced that you definitely have the makings of a hero. Your talent is real.”
“Well… I’m a bitch.”
“Hehe, I’m not just talking about creative talent. Surprisingly, among the talents of a fighter, there is nothing more important than this.”
“What… is that?”
“Faith. A presence that preaches to the world your unbending existence. That is the talent, quality, and vessel of a hero.”
I’m not bragging, but… more big names than I expected had rave reviews about me.
Runia and Sword Emperor Garand were like that, and the teacher in the previous episode also chose me over Park Si-hoo. Also in this episode…
“You are worthy of succeeding me.”
Duke Sebancia chose me as his successor. As Master said, I might have something they would appreciate.
“I will pass on everything I have to you and perfect you. You will become a hero who saves the world and become stronger than anyone else.”
The goddess blessed me, saying it was a gift given to someone who had pledged to become a hero.

After the training, I left the paradise and walked through the city with my teacher.
“The restaurants in the city have also improved a lot.”
“Didn’t you go there when you were Chairman Eriu?”
“Because I was a doll back then. I pretended to eat food to avoid unnecessary suspicion.”
Sealed for over 80 years. For her, as she looked around the world through her avatar, eating seemed to be a way to avoid arousing others’ suspicion.
“Ah, but Clara often brings me meals. I heard you even eat raw fish these days?”
“Sushi?”
“Yeah. Clara hated it. I heard she likes it so much.”
“Let’s go together later.”
“Okay, let’s do that.”
walk again It is a view of the city that I would have walked through as the chairman of the board, but walking through the city with my own body seems to be a different feeling.
“Anyway, how was the operation of the sun?”
“…Honestly, I feel like my insides are in shambles.”
The magic power that embodies the sun is entirely due to the infinite magic power backup of this shadow paradise.
But maintaining it is entirely up to me. Trying to swing a spear while maintaining control over the materialization was a killer.
“You have to get used to it. Clau Solas has recognized you as his master.”
“If only I could compress this power…”
All-powerful king Ohad Breath. The power that drove me and Park Si-hoo into a corner in the previous episode can be recreated.
He literally becomes the sun god. But for this, another prerequisite is needed.
“Don’t be in too much of a hurry. If you overcome the trials in Mag Mel, the treasury… Nuada’s Argetlam, created by Dianket, will be given to you.”
It’s Dianket Nuada… Master had a longing look in his eyes as he said those words.
“…Were you family?”
“Yes. Diankhet Nuada Lu… We were all one family. We, Danan, were one big community.”
Danan. The original race of this land and those who were called gods.
The Sky Giants formed a continent, and the Goidel people invaded this land fattened by Danan.
They absorbed the teachings of Danan’s favor and dared to challenge the gods.
The age of heroes.
The Book of Erinn Invasion to take away paradise, steeped in greed.
Danan fell like that and passed away, leaving everything to the young Danan named Paradise.
“As you get older, you become more sentimental everywhere.”
“What does age have to do with anything? Anyone can do that.”
“Hehe… I don’t think you should do that when you’re young.”
Master looked up at the sky with empty eyes. As if reminiscing about the past through the starlight engraved in the dark night sky.
“Everyone left. Everyone fulfilled their role and left. Sometimes, I felt resentful of my ancestors who inherited everything from me and left.”
A thousand years. What is the last Danan, who has quietly been doing his job for a thousand years, thinking now?
“I guess that’s why I was even happier. Balthazar, Tates… was the child left behind by our ancestors. When I realized that the person I thought was the last wasn’t the last… I lost my ability to judge.”
She looks blankly at me.
“I made a big mistake in the past. I have a duty to correct it. Do you know what I mean?”
“In the end… are you saying you’ll be together?”
“You can’t just leave it to the kids.”
We debated this topic again and again. I wanted to keep her hidden in the world of Shadow Paradise as much as possible, but… in the end, I couldn’t break her will.
“Adults can’t hide behind children. Even if something goes wrong, I…”
“Erin.”
“uh?”
The teacher looked at me with a confused expression when I suddenly called his name. I declared, looking down at her and pushing her against the wall.
“The future me lost many people. To Permak, to Dunskais, to Dumnorix, to Ohad… I lost my comrades and people I could have saved.”
“Kor… Rin?”
“You were among them.”
“That’s… what I have to do…”
“No, this time is different. No one is missed. No one is left behind.”
“Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss…?”
This must be an obsession and stubbornness. But if I were chosen by the sun god, chosen by the system, and chosen by the teachers of heroes…
“This time, you won’t die. Because I will save you.”
“But that’s…”
“Trust your student. He’s the vessel of a hero? You just have to trust me and have my back.”
Maybe it’s arrogance. It may be an overflowing sense of pride.
“I will not sit idly by and watch the misfortune of good people. From the moment I engraved this oath on my body, I will not give up.”
“…….”
“So, don’t act like you’re going to live and leave in front of your students. If anyone sees you, you’ll look like a younger sister than me.”
“I just haven’t experienced aging…”
“It doesn’t matter whether life is long or short. You and I still have a long time left. You can always live looking forward to tomorrow.”
I send a cool smile to her who has a dumbfounded expression.
“Everything will be okay. Everything will be okay.”
“Hehe…”
She eventually burst out laughing. It must have been astounding to see this pale-faced young guy acting like an adult.
“Yes, you are an adult.”
“Well, considering my future experiences, I’m definitely an adult. I’m 22 years old.”
Actually, I’m over forty.
“Still haaaan~ Chang is so young. “Compared to me.”
“What can you say? Everyone is friends over the age of 20.”
“So?”
“So, we go out to eat delicious food, make friends, and buy nice clothes. Enjoy every moment. There’s someone around to do it with you.”
“???”
Master looked around, took notice, and for some reason blushed and stared at me. “Then will Corin
join you?”
“There’s nothing you can’t do.”
I said to Lady Josephine , I meant… the lady is away right now.
“Let’s join.”
“Ah, I’m lucky. This kind of luck will come to me in my later years…huh?” I
was acting like it was my last time, so I hit the top of my head with the blade of my hand. Master Erin, who had suddenly been hit by my student, looked up at me with an expression of confusion, but I shamelessly walked out.
“What do you do when you’re so young and pretty? My mind is old. Tsunami never strikes in a sea frozen by cynicism and pessimism.”
“Uh… I see.”
“No matter how long you’ve lived, it’s nothing. Stretch your back and shoulders! If you live your life believing that everything will be okay, you are young no matter how old you are.” ”
Haha, where did you learn that?”
“It came from the food of the mind. “Pretty sister.”
He held Erin’s hand and kissed the back of her hand, grinning.
“I really… can’t win.”
“A teacher shouldn’t try to beat his student.”
The reason I returned. My
destiny is to save the world on behalf of the player. The reason why I carried it.
In the end, it’s because I’m a greedy person who wants to save everyone. I
can’t give up on this.
Everyone must be there in the world I saved. I won’t allow them to be left out.
It was a day where I remembered my pledge once again.

Germain Luther is a spy dispatched by the Catholic Church.
Under the orders of Bishop Renault Lijunan, he was tasked with rescuing Laurent, the leader of the assault group, who was arrested while attempting to raid the Netherlands, and collecting and delivering information about the Merkava. Originally, he also cooperated with the Magic
Tower to capture Laurent. The plan was to rescue them, but unfortunately, the idiots from the Magic Tower made a mistake. After
Elder Morshtan was arrested by Saint Estelle, they became impatient and acted too quickly.
This is why the apostates of the Magic Tower… On that topic, Elder Morshtan Finding out the date of Shutan’s transport to the Zeon Cathedral…
He was furious, but Germain was the only one currently able to carry out meaningful espionage activities at the academy, so his responsibility was enormous.
“Huh…”
Who’s there? It was good that he had blended into the Academy without being suspected, but the Academy’s vigilance was at its highest due to the excessive consumption of the assault group and the reckless acts of terrorism by the magic tower wizards. Since they were stopped no matter where they went and it was very difficult to collect information, a long-term war was expected
.
As a student, you can’t achieve anything as a freshman. That day, I was just trudging around the school without any real purpose.
“Oh~ Who is this? Aren’t you our promising junior?”
A friendly voice speaks to you. It’s a familiar voice.
“Uh… senior?”
“How are you doing these days? How are you?”
A second-year senior with his arm around his shoulder and his signature wild smile. Germain didn’t dislike his easy-going attitude of being able to be friends with anyone. “Haha, the
midterm exams just ended… I feel like I can breathe a little better now. It was.”
“Really? The first year is a bit tighter than the upper years. “It’s not an elective course, and there’s a lot to learn.”
It was also a blind spot that limited Germain’s espionage activities. It’s basically a broad academy class, but it starts from the second year. The first year is
survival skills and dokdo skills, so you don’t have time unless it’s late in the afternoon. It doesn’t get any better.
“That’s right, junior. Do you remember my proposal?”
“Uh… what do you mean by proposal?”
“I founded the Guardians. A skill like yours is rare even among second-year students. What do you think?”
Do you want to join our Guardians?
Be suspicious of the hand they extend when you need it most.
Germain Luthor was still too young to have that kind of cool-headedness.
