I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 20

[ Marie Dunareff (1)]

The bosses that decorate each episode in [The Legend of Arhan Heroes] symbolize the gradually expanding worldview and the rise of powerful enemies.

Act 1 boss ‘Vampire Marie Dunareff’ symbolized the tragedy of suddenly forcing the worldview setting on the player.

The sudden appearance of a special final tier boss. The heroism of the player who realizes its power but ultimately overcomes it.

Also, the fall of Marie Dunareff, who did not give up her humanity despite being placed in a tragic situation.

An episode in which the production team reveals their ‘true colors’ by suddenly transforming the cheerful atmosphere in the beginning, where students seemed to be spending their school days with smiles, into something serious.

It is such a tragedy that I have to challenge myself now that there are no players.

It is a great misfortune, and it is the salvation of a girl who later meets her end through vicious recycling.

A twist of fate that was impossible even for the player, the protagonist of this world. Therefore, Park Si-hoo also tried to use this tragedy as efficiently as possible.

But is this misfortune an unstoppable tragedy?

Actually, if you look at it honestly, it’s not like that.

Sufficient preparation.

Enough faith.

This is a story where one girl’s misfortune can be saved more easily than you think, if there are enough members.

So I hope this story doesn’t follow the original.

I don’t want it to end in misfortune according to the fate of the scenario.

As if they were rebelling against players who were shouting about things like monopolizing efficiency.

I hope for a happy ending to the story.

What if it’s a bit inefficient?

What if I eat a little less?

What if I don’t profit and don’t hit the jackpot?

It would have been better if less people had died.

Why do you need a reason to save someone?

This afternoon’s class is a preparation class for Mrs. Josephine’s external mission.

In the first semester, you must take practical theoretical classes such as camping and meal management, and perform an actual external business trip mission as an exam.

“Hey, did you hear?”

As I opened my notebook and prepared for class, Jaeger came up to me and whispered.

“What?”

“Woe is. That demon girl.”

“…….”

Hwaran was very worried that Jaeger, who can kill with two fingers, said such a thing, but the atmosphere in the entire class was similar to Jaeger.

Even though she was wearing a church nun’s uniform, anyone could tell that the chain wrapped around the talisman was a straitjacket.

Why would a student be wearing a straitjacket? The inference about its identity naturally led to demons.

“From what I heard, he was locked in solitary confinement.”

“Solitary confinement.”

“Uh. Actually, this academy has a special facility where dangerous demons are imprisoned…”

I mentioned a few conspiracy theories, but what Yeager said is roughly correct.

Because this academy really had special facilities just for demons.

In fact, rather than a facility, it is closer to a correctional facility that controls the excessive magic power and violence of demons.

Except that there is a barrier that suppresses the power to some extent, it is nothing more than a luxurious personal sleeping facility.

Hwaran hurt Marie with more force than necessary during the last training session, so it was only natural that he received this measure.

The strange thing is why Hwaran is already active.

‘Until the incident, he was taking classes normally.’

It was like that in the previous episode and in the game as well. Because they were demons, they were afraid of those around them, but since they didn’t do much, everyone got used to them.

“So that monster…”

“The expression ‘monster’ is a bit…”

“Hey, aren’t demons a demon race? Lark, are there any demons around you? Just the people they killed… …..”

Just as the story was getting longer, the classroom door opened and a female professor in a loose robe walked in.

“Hello, everyone. My name is Professor Rulara Mars, professor of alchemy. Today, Vice Principal Josephine has something else to do, so I came to give a lecture in her place.” Mrs. Josephine, who never changes her schedule except in rare cases,

left the class?

‘Is it because of the war?’

Since such an accident occurred in practice, special measures may have been taken.

Up until this point, I didn’t think much about it and just overlooked the small incident.

Six Chorus (六合槍)

Fifth chorus──

– Boom!

Attention is drawn to the huge noise echoing in the class room. If I hadn’t put up the privacy curtain, they would have come in droves.

It’s already been three days since Hunting Ground practice. For the past three days, after class, I spent all day in the gymnasium.

In Hunting Ground practice, my combat power met the standard to a certain extent.

Even though he lacks experience, he achieved significant results against the early strong character Arisha Arden and the golem master Kranel Luden.

But this is not enough. His combat power may be better than Park Ga’s, but his specs are weaker compared to Park Si Hoo’s at this point.

“Huh……”

The perfection of the spear is second to none, but the poor physical strength is not enough to withstand Hapki. The torn palm and clearly exposed veins proved this.

The good news is that the technological backlash has already begun to recover. It’s thanks to [Regeneration of a Persistent Warrior].

‘Isn’t it possible to recover even if the intestines are spilled?’

Still, if we were to estimate this recovery speed, it would be at least the level of a level 2 regenerative ability. Should I intentionally get hurt later?

Hapki, which is linked to six choirs, is a high-risk technique. There is a big difference in the risk of a technology depending on whether it has regenerative ability or not.

Still, the best thing is to have the physical strength to withstand the technique, so I am working hard on self-training today.

-You haven’t been discharged from the hospital yet?

-Yeah, it looks like it hurts a lot.

“Hmm…”

The behavior of the second graders recently was strange. The main topic of discussion is Marie, who has not been seen for three days since training at the Hunting Ground.

I tried to do that on the first day, but on the second day, I couldn’t even see my roommate, Isabelle, and I was completely banned from seeing her.

Of course, it’s fortunate that he survived the collision with that Hwarang, but… Marie is the final boss of Act 1. I was anxious because the first special boss of [The Legend of Arhan Heroes] was not visible.

‘Shall we go visit the hospital?’

While walking around the academy grounds with that in mind, I met an unexpected person.

“Hugh…!”

“huh?”

Arisha Aden, who was wearing a bandage and eating potato croquettes, was scared when she saw me.

“Why are you so surprised?”

“Uhm…! Gulp! Aren’t you surprised?”

“Are your injuries healed yet?”

“Uh… yes.”

There is no such thing as feeling sorry for an injury. It’s good manners not to pay attention to injuries that occur during training at the academy.

“Is it broken?”

“No, it’s just a little cracked. I just need to rest for a few more days.”

“In Hapki, it is better to offset it by giving the same resonance rather than blocking it with aura. There is no need to receive the compressed power honestly.”

“…….”

The way Alisha looks at me is strange.

“What?”

“Mr. Corin… are you really a level 5 knight?”

“Aha~”

I showed my student ID and showed the sign that I was a level 5 knight.

“You’re a level 5 knight, right?”

“Is there a level 5 that can beat this level 2 knight? Isn’t that camouflage?”

“No, I’m weaker than you.”

“lie!”

“It’s real. Now…!”

He immediately threw his fist at Ariel, who couldn’t believe it. The fastest jab I can do. Alisha hurriedly grabbed it while holding the potato croquette.

“Yes…?”

“Look. It was a surprise attack, but it was easily prevented.”

Even if you tighten your fist, it just shakes and you can’t get away. A car with overwhelming power. Arisha looks surprised, as if she realized it too.

Could it be that he was this weak?

“The difference between a level 2 knight and a level 5 knight is the difference between heaven and earth. In fact, you may be stronger, but…”

Gives a slight spin to the fist. When the aiki that exploded from her fist grazed her palm, Alisha was startled and took it back.

By the time I raised my guard, my finger was already poking Arisha’s cheek.

“It will always be me who wins.”

“Uh… please clean it up.”

A rare spark flew from Alisha’s expression. It’s a violent reaction rarely seen in the docile girl.

It would be worth it. The opponent is a candidate for successor to a master swordsman.

No matter how low your self-esteem is, there’s no way you can understand the words spoken by a level 5 knight you’ve never heard of.

“I’ve seen Runia Aden fight.”

Runia Aden.

Arisha Arden’s half-sister and her rival for the succession.

Arisha looked visibly sour when I mentioned her.

yes i know The fear of inferiority you have towards Runia Aden.

She is the object of your admiration and also the object of your fear. Because the relationship between these sisters was more complicated than I thought.

“Do you and your sister… know each other?”

“No, I was just watching.”

Actually, we fought together often at parties, but… not in the current episode.

“He’s strong. He’s probably the best swordsman I know.”

It might be funny to see a level 5 idiot evaluating a special swordsman, but Alisha was listening to me very seriously.

This is what Alisha always heard. I am worse than my sister. It would be different if it were my older sister, but she did this much at this age.

The reason why Arisha Arden gave up her obsession with swordsmanship early on. Because there was also a comparison of talent gaps.

Above all, there must have been checks and disdain toward illegitimate children.

“But you have better talent.”

“…Ugh?”

Alisha asks cutely. Both eyes blinked as if they had heard something completely unexpected.

“I assure you. Your swordsmanship skills are better than your sister’s.”

“That can’t be possible! I… there’s no way I’m better than you!”

“You can believe it or not, but if you get into the academy, you should try it seriously.”

“Are you really a level 5 knight?”

“I just have a little bit of experience.”

3 years. As I cleared the scenario, I fought numerous monsters.

None of them were weaker than me, and I have never been stronger. But…

among the mountain of strong men, there is no one who can beat me.

* * * *

After eating dinner quickly, I was about to secretly go to the hunting ground, but the school grounds were a mess.

-Did you find it?

-No, I’m going to go to the outer corner.

‘By the way…’

It’s messy. The ones who just passed by were Permac Daman from the Knights Department and Professor Dana from the Magic Department.

They are representative martial arts guardians from Merkava Academy.

In addition, there are several security guards walking around, creating a chaotic atmosphere on campus.

“Did the test subject escape?”

Given that Professor Dana is conducting dangerous biological experiments, could it be that a monster or demonic spirit from the experiment building has escaped?

It’s a rare but fairly common occurrence at Merkava Academy. In the game, the place where Marie’s boss fight took place was also the experiment building.

The first phase of Marie’s boss battle involves working with the monsters there and making them her servants.

Well, that’s a story from a month later. The place I arrived at without being noticed by professors or students was a pond in a corner of the hunting ground.

Perhaps because of its location, it is not well managed and is overgrown with weeds. I came to meet the beings who live here.

First, put some eye drops around your eyes.

“Uh huh?”

I screamed loudly and swayed. In my shaky hands, I hold the ‘Seed of Mandragora’.

“Oh no, I slipped!!”

It fell heavily and dropped the seeds into the pond.

“Oh my gosh, how are I doing this? Oh my gosh! How are I doing this! Oh my gosh!!”

– Glimpse!

He lands on the ground and delivers a performance worthy of winning the Academy Award for Best Actor. It looks like he still lacks courage.

“Oh my gosh! The precious seed that my mother left behind! Oh my gosh…!”

– Bubble!

It’s here!

As I dragged around for a bit, the center of the pond started bubbling and an old man appeared.

“Hehe, why are you crying so bitterly?”

The old man appeared, feeling sorry for me after seeing my famous performance. He looked down at me with a good-natured smile.

A hidden piece that can only be used once in [The Legend of Arhan Heroes], which is full of storytelling from a Korean game company.

It was the appearance of a golden ax immortal.

* * * *

A immortal in the pond.

In Korea , It is famous as a traditional fairy tale, and the original was Aesop’s fable.

It is very famous to ask the woodcutter who dropped the iron ax into the pond whether this gold ax is yours or this silver ax is yours.

This immortal also existed in [The Legend of the Heroes of Arhan]. While walking around the map, you’ll be asked, ‘Would you like to drop an object?’ Since the option to do so appears, this is where everyone throws it at least once.

First of all, since the original is a gold ax or a silver axe, it is limited to weapons… It is also limited to unique items or less, and if you throw another object, there is no reaction. But who are these people? This is something no one has ever done before

. Aren’t they people who commit things first and then look at them?

[Today, I missed five hundred kinds of miscellaneous items in the Fresh Pond haha]

The miscellaneous item challenge started with someone’s certification. Among them, there were brave people who even missed precious and rare items.

That brave person was me.

“This gold seed.” “Is this your seed?”

“No. The gold seed is not my seed.”

The nerds at the production company were giggling and wondering if anyone would be looking for this hidden piece.

“Is this silver seed your seed?”

“No. The silver seed is not my seed.”

Should I put in the Mandragora seed that some crazy guy exchanged for the 100 points he worked so hard to get? Yes, that’s me. “Huh,

then this seed is your seed.”

“That’s right, that’s right! That seed is definitely my seed.”

“You are an honest person who is not greedy even after seeing gold and silver. “I appreciate your honesty and will give you all three of these seeds.”

“Oh my! Thank you!”

The hermit gave me three seeds and then disappeared.

Even if I miss the item again later, this hermit will never come out. It is a one-time hidden piece.

I check the missing herb and collect the bright seeds in my hand. See.

[Golden Mandragora Seed]

[White Mandragora Seed]

[Mandragora Seed]

“Hehehe! The item can be copied!”

Honesty is invincible.

Mandragora is a god!
