I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 199

Karma (2)

After regular classes are over and some after-school activities are over, students return to their dormitories.

Dormitories are divided by gender or male and female for each department, but there is a special dormitory built for only a very small number of students at the top of the hill.

Because the concept is to receive the energy of the mountains, the higher it is, the less desirable it is for climbing hills.

Therefore, it is a special dormitory that is distinct from other dormitories.

The two-story house was initially built to isolate Hwaran, a dangerous person who had caused an accident in the distant East, but gradually the number of residents increased.

Three people in a tidy sunroom that had recently finished gardening and general cleaning… Marie Hwaran was studying for an upcoming exam in silence.

“…….”

“…….”

Crunch, crunch.

Only the sound of pencil graphite grinding echoes in the sunroom.

“…….”

“…….”

Crunch, crunch.

‘I’m suffocating…’

Ren, who visited the sunroom to study for an exam, wanted to escape this terrible space, but he couldn’t see any reason to do so.

It all started with going to a festival called Autumn Woman or something.

As both Hwaran and Marie entered the competition, a strange atmosphere flowed between them.

Having one man… That strange sense of competition forced silence, not saying a word to each other.

If you don’t want to talk to each other like that, can’t you just study in your own room?

But it looks like he doesn’t like it again. They probably think that if they back down, they will lose.

Ren was the one who came first, so why do I have to study in such a heavy atmosphere?

‘Ron… come quickly and take me…!’

I desperately searched for my twin brother, but he was lingering in front of the sunroom door, unable to take a single step.

‘Take him…!’

‘I don’t think I should go in. My intuition is telling me…’

‘That…!’

These days, I don’t feel embarrassed when I hear people say they grew up before me.

Have you forgotten the kindness of your sister, who fought with the restaurant owner because of her temper, rummaged through food waste, and protected you from gangsters?

Either that or not, the underlines that are drawn in the textbook. Ren felt as if he was living with man-eating beasts, and was alert to signs of trouble that might erupt at any moment.

-Cuckoo! Cuckoo!

At some point, the sound of a cuckoo breaks the silence. At 12 noon and 7 o’clock in the evening, the cuckoo clock, which announces meal time without fail, jumps out of its nest and makes me happy to hear its song.

“…It looks like everyone is gone.”

Ran, who was reviewing on behalf of Hwa, who gave up studying, said.

Normally, it would be when someone from the dormitory, including Josephine, would invite us to the cafeteria.

But coincidentally, it seems like everyone is out tonight.

“Because I did the studying. Yeah, I’m angry today.”

By saying that, Ran revitalizes her body after sitting on a chair for a long time. Soon the color of his hair spread and his red eyes sparkled.

“Bob. I’ll do it.”

“……artist?”

Marie raised her head in surprise. She made a subtle suggestion.

“I’ll help you.”

“No. I’m practicing these days. I mean, by myself.”

Hwa leaves the sunroom without waiting for Marie’s answer. Marie tried to stop him with a wave of her hand, but he was already walking towards the kitchen.

“Hmm…”

It was also strange to walk all the way to the kitchen.

“It’s a painter’s cuisine…”

Aside from that, I was curious about the cuisine that a painter cooks.

“Has Ren finished studying?”

“Oh yes…! Oh no! Not yet…”

“Okay… Then I’ll help you study until the meal is ready.”

“It’s okay…”

“Ron, come in here too.”

The aquatic-haired girl, who must have already noticed Ron’s presence, overwhelmed the two golden wolves with just her eyes and made them sit down.

“Hey.”

“…Please tell me, Sister Marie.”

Marie is usually soft-spoken and friendly. Ren didn’t dislike Marie, but that also varied depending on the time and place.

“Who will Corin give the ribbon to?”

Ah… Is this how it happens?

“……well.”

“Hmm…”

Actually, Marie had low pressure all day today.

Estelle’s excessive skinship has recently started to come to the fore. The blatant favor and unrestrained attitude toward Corinne brought a sense of crisis to Marie, who was Corinne’s only ‘older sister’.

He even declared that he would participate in ‘Woman of Autumn’ today, and didn’t he force Corinne to take the ribbon as if it were a given?

As Corin’s ‘senior and older sister’, I proudly countered this absurd tyranny.

…And it was when Hwaran and Arisha took part in this battle that I felt something was wrong.

One was too much, but it increased to three.

There is no problem. Yeah, no problem. Corrin will choose me. Marie didn’t want to be suspicious.

The devotion she gave him. love. Friendship… is definitely second to none. But….

“It’ll be me, right? It’ll be me, right?”

“If you ask me…”

I’m anxious.

Aren’t there four of them? Chances are 25%. What if you aren’t chosen?

For sure.

You will definitely be disappointed.

Maybe cry.

Even though I am aware that I am being forced to make a difficult choice, I am confident that I hope that they will choose me.

“Ugh…”

In the first place, Korin is also Corin.

If you do something, there will be a lot of women around you.

Marie could simply be tolerant of the women Corinne hung out with.

Because he himself has no dark intentions at all. It’s truly amazing how pure human relationships are.

But even so, there were girls who harbored as much love for Corinne as I did.

Hwaran… especially Ran is Marie’s oldest enemy. The beginning of that love continued for about a year.

“You don’t like me, sister.”

I remember the bold and bold girl’s remark. She who blatantly defines herself as an enemy is the biggest enemy.

‘I won’t lose.’

Yes, I am Marie Dunareff.

You can have whatever you want. Even if it is love.

Korin could never be taken away by a foreigner from the East.

‘Come to your senses, Marie Dunareff!’

As Marie was once again igniting her fighting spirit, a painter came in from the entrance of the sunroom, pushing a wagon.

“I’m done.”

The dish she brought…

“Huh?”

“Ugh…? Cough!”

The wolf siblings had an indescribable reaction just by smelling it.

Something dark red and bubbling even now.

“Huh? This is…?”

Ran’s cooking skills are objectively good.

I have been practicing consistently since I moved into the dormitory, and I cook with a lot of love and sincerity, so everything is bound to taste good.

On the other hand, what about anger?

She didn’t like such delicate tasks.

So I didn’t have any expectations. I didn’t have any expectations… I thought Marie would be fine as long as she didn’t throw away the ingredients…

“What is this…?”

It was something that left even Marie speechless.

“Udon?”

Question marks are used where question marks should not be used.

Hwa moves the dishes to the table without any hesitation.

Udon.

Yes, kimchi udon. A lot of it comes from academics as well.

A spicy noodle dish mixed with oriental kimchi and udon. It was quite popular, and it was a dish that painters from Eastern cultures would choose.

But it is decidedly different.

Udon does not boil loudly like an active volcano.

The soup is soggy and doesn’t stick to the ladle. It’s not as red as if it had been pumped out of lava.

Even the udon noodles look more like tentacles struggling from underground lava rather than noodles.

“It’s… udon, right?”

“……Yes. Corinne likes fried noodles.”

No matter how you look at it, it is neither ordinary udon nor stir-fried noodles without broth.

It’s something that lies in the middle… something that insults the udon category.

“eat.”

Could this be an attempt to poison a competitor?

Marie picked it up and, with trembling hands, stamped her fork on the surface of the stir-fried udon dish.

-Chiiik!

“Heehee…!”

This is not it. Absolutely not. It was definitely not a sound that could be made by touching udon.

“Ugh…”

“It’s so painful… Ren.”

The wolf siblings, who are sensitive to smell, were unable to breathe due to the Scoville level tingling from the surface of the udon noodles.

“Corinne. I like it.”

“Corin?!”

Hwa’s statement was not a lie.

Corin clearly loved this dish so much that she ate it all without leaving a single chopstick behind.

However, the reason was not because of the taste, but to preserve the self-esteem of the ‘soul of Korea’.

“Ugh… Is that so?”

If Corin likes it… Marie can jump into the fire pit even with a straw on her back.

Ah, love is such a brilliant thing.

Although I frown heavily, I put the dish to my mouth, hoping to like it like Corin. And──

──Spicy!!

A piercing scream echoed through the dormitory.

“…Did I do something wrong?”

‘Hmm… The 10,000 SHU thing Corin said. ‘Can people really eat it?’

Anger licked the corners of his mouth while eating the food I had prepared.

* * * *

That evening, I finished eating at the campus cafeteria with my friends.

“Fucked.”

“Oh you’re screwed.”

“I told you. Can you handle it?”

As many as four people, including Estelle Marie and Alicia Hwaran, are participating in Women of Autumn.

There are as many as four people.

Four people were implicitly pressuring me to hand them the ribbon.

The big problem here is that I am one person.

“What can I do? I have to pick someone and give it to someone.”

“You can’t do that. The remaining kids will be disappointed…”

“If there is only one person you can save, you should only choose one.”

“I won’t miss anything and will save everyone!”

“Yes, it’s impossible.”

Jaeger and Lark are twitching their cheeks as if they are looking good. These unloyal things!

“There must be a way…”

That was the time. Master was walking lightly across the street.

“Corin~!”

A teacher who welcomes you. She asked me how I was doing with sparkling eyes.

“Have you eaten? How is your health? Are you having a hard time these days because it’s exam period?”

“It’s hard.”

“I heard Clara has prepared some health food, so let’s eat together… oh, Jaeger student. Lark student.”

The teacher, who was concentrating on me, must have noticed the two people and patted them on the shoulders.

“You both got promoted before summer vacation, right? Your accomplishments are amazing. Keep up the good work.”

“Ah yes… thank you!”

“Gulp…! Thank you.”

Jaeger and Lark looked nervous, as if they were distracted by their teacher’s beauty. Master immediately turns his head towards me and I see a shiny gold line on the nape of his neck.

“You’re wearing a necklace?”

“Oh? Yeah… someone gave it to me, so of course I have to do it.”

“It’s pretty. You’ve been dressing up like that for a long time.”

“Ugh… Really, our student…”

The Master smiled slightly, but then looked embarrassed.

“What’s wrong with you?”

“Ah… That’s what I mean. Something embarrassing happened at the faculty meeting this time.”

“Yes? What is that?”

Is this already a foreshadowing? I don’t think that’s possible, but considering the current situation, which is completely different from the previous episode, it wouldn’t be surprising if something happens.

“That’s…”

“Please tell me. “I’ll help you with anything.”

“Oh, uhm… I feel reassured that you said that. Actually… I got to participate in the Autumn Woman this time.”

“…Yes?”

“It was a tradition for one faculty member to participate in the Autumn Woman every year. Everyone either has experience going out or refuses to go out… Hmm! It’s really a shame at this age.”

Seeing Master shaking his head as if embarrassed, my complexion gradually turned pale.

“That’s right, Corin, what event are you planning on going to? Our student is a great kid who doesn’t lack anything anywhere, but I wonder who he will give the ribbon to if he wins.”

Uh-uh…

“Ah! I’m not asking for it from me… ahaha, I’m not careful enough to become an autumn woman at this age. This teacher only needs one person’s ribbon.”

The teacher did not notice my pale complexion and laughed heartily.

“Then…! Let’s eat dinner together tonight! Work hard on your studies today too!”

I was trembling as I looked at the back of the teacher who had left. Jaeger and Lark also shook their heads as they looked at me.

“It’s okay, dude. Four or five people.”

“Hey, it’s worth a look. Who are you going to give it to?”

Marie, Alicia, Hwaran, Estelle Erin…

I can’t choose just one person. If I were to pick just one person and give the ribbon… that would be hurtful to others. “There’s nothing we can do about

it .”

Lark shook his head and tried to get angry, and Jaeger responded by saying,

“Is there a way out here?”

“Suicide. There is no other way than that.”

“Oh. Recommended. Suicide recommendation.”

Unhelpful friends. But there is a way.

“Now that it’s like this… I’m giving ribbons to all five people.”

“What?” “Is

that possible?”

It’s possible.

Theoretically.

“Autumn harvest . You just have to participate in five competitions held in the city and win all five. Hehehe… Hahahahahaha…!”

“”……… Cheer up.””

The two people’s gazes are somehow sympathetic.

Don’t look at me like that!
