I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 200
Karma (3)
The recent excited atmosphere is being influenced everywhere.
For example, a snack bar in the city. It is also a hot topic at outdoor restaurants where you can enjoy a glass of soju with odeng soup as a snack.
-This time, a saint appears!
-I heard Marie Dunareff is also appearing?
-The participants this time are no joke.
The center of attention is the harvest festival, a popular event.
Autumn woman.
The competition that marked the finale of the fall harvest festival was further fueled by the luxurious participants.
“Everyone is talking about the fall harvest festival, Corin.”
“I want you to put all that enthusiasm into the final exam. First of all, that’s your job as a student.”
Late Saturday evening. Alisha and Corinne have just come to have a late-night snack.
“4 servings of Tteokbokki. 4 servings of Odeng soup. A set of fried food was served.”
“Sundae too.”
“Oh, by the way. Would you like some intestines too?”
“Alysha, do you eat intestines?”
“I’ll decline.”
“That’s right. Please remove the liver and give me the rest.”
“Yes, I understand.”
The snack lady leaves and Corinne takes a quick look and cracks! and made a gesture to drink something.
“No alcohol.”
“Wouldn’t it be okay to just have one drink each?”
“I won’t go to the dorm today, but I’ll go to my sister’s room… If I drink, I’ll get scolded. We’re still underage in the first place, right?”
“Haa~”
Corin is discouraged by Alisha’s standard criticism.
Although he is clearly a minor, he is twice as old as Alisha in terms of what he has actually experienced in life.
For him, prohibition was unbearable.
“There is no soju in odeng soup~”
He looked down at the earthenware pot on the table.
Odeng soup made in an earthenware pot that produces bubbling warm steam is J-style, not K-style. The reproduction is strangely well done.
“You’ve been feeling a lot these days. Ah, the area. Other than that, I can’t point out anything else.”
“You’re being too humble. I’ve been losing to you for a long time these days.”
Corinne moves a fork into an earthenware pot. Transfer the konjac to a bowl and pour the soup over it with a ladle.
“Still, if it were a real fight, I’d lose. Something… I can’t imagine beating Korin no matter what.”
“well.”
Corin sipped the soup and recalled the sparring that took place at the training ground.
Recently, Alisha seems to be on the rise and her spirit is sharp.
The decisive moment is after the decisive battle with the Sword Demon. Although the Heavenly Sword that she showed back then cannot yet be perfectly recreated, the life-or-death situation amplified her skill itself.
“I should have kept trying. I was scared for no reason and avoided the sword, so this is what happened.”
“The amount of experience doesn’t matter. It’s the density that matters.”
You yourself are the proof.
It has been 3 years since the previous episode that Corin held the spear. This is the second year of this episode.
Compared to other knights who have trained their entire lives, the amount of experience is extremely small.
However, the reason he is comparable to Runia, the so-called swordsman, with just his simple spear skills is because the quality of his experience is infinitely dense.
Because he has overcome countless death lines, won, and competed against the world’s greatest powers.
It is safe to say that his skills themselves were perfected before his regression.
“Ugh… Should I at least bring my grandfather down?”
Alisha casually makes an immoral comment while eating a piece of oden. It’s a surprisingly sincere expression.
“That old man is being treated like a mint.”
“Because it’s worth it.”
Sword Emperor Garand Aden.
In the game, it appears as an NPC to strengthen Arisha or Runia.
He himself contributed quite a bit to the final war, but it was only a local war.
“How about having your grandfather fight against that fearsome man called Tates? That man… is very strong, but he is also formidable.”
“It will be a good match.”
This is a situation that does not occur in the game. Actually, I tried to use it like that in the previous episode, but…
“That old man has things to do as he says.”
Why he is not the main character. The reason why the hero named Geomje does not appear in the final chapter is explained plausibly.
“is that so.”
Despite my insufficient explanation, Alisha did not object much. Unlike Marie or Estelle, Alicia is not involved in the process of drawing the big picture at all.
If it’s not something you can do well, you don’t have to intervene and distract it… It’s about listening only to what is necessary.
“Mr. Corrin.”
Alisha puffed on the oden while trembling and handed it to me.
“Aang~”
“……No, this is a bit much.”
“Hurry up. My arm hurts.”
“Hmm…!”
A cocky behavior that only a couple who has just started dating would do. But sinners just take what is given to them.
“A ribbon.”
“Hmm….”
I almost got caught. Are you bringing up that topic here?
“What are you going to do? There are five of us, including the chairman.”
“Hehehe…!”
Alisha didn’t have a special expression, but she was having fun on the inside.
While everyone was hoping that she would be chosen, Alisha had a slightly different idea. To be exact, I realized this after submitting the application.
“Huh…”
“Arisha?”
Alicia wiggled her fingers and looked up at Corrin. She smiles bitterly and confesses her feelings again.
It was a practical joke.
“You know I like Corin, right?”
“Uh uhh… oh you know.”
Corin didn’t realize Arisha’s subtle playfulness. Alisha gained a strange sense of satisfaction from seeing Corin losing her composure due to the confusion in her mind.
“I like you. I really do. I really like you, Corrin.”
“Thank you.”
“So…”
Please choose me. Please choose only me.
I don’t say that much. It will cause trouble for your opponent. He is not qualified to say such things.
“You don’t have to give it to me.”
“uh?”
Alisha smiled bitterly, giving an answer that contradicted her true feelings.
Likes.
I don’t think that feeling can be defeated.
But apart from that, I am afraid of not being chosen.
So, I give up from the beginning.
Instead of choosing competition, show the virtue of concession. Even if it is due to self-imposed self-esteem.
If you only accept the result of “I gave in,” you are one step away from winning.
“……no.”
Corinne knows that part like a ghost.
“I’ll give you a golden ribbon too.”
“Uh… yes?”
“I think it’s cowardly and mean, but… I’ll give everyone a golden ribbon.”
“But…! To do that, I have to win five events?”
“There’s an indecisive guy who manages the fishery without a care in the world, so he has to go through the trouble.”
“I’m fine. I’m fine——”
“Stop.”
Corin firmly blocks Alisha’s words. As soon as I meet his sincere gaze, I feel like my self-esteem is filled.
“You deserve it.”
“Huh…”
Alisha couldn’t answer those words.
* * * *
After the late meal, the two returned to the Guardians office.
All kinds of convenient facilities are lined up on the huge site with a total area of 3,000 pyeong that Marie has built on a grand scale.
For example, accommodation. There are hundreds of Warskai mercenaries and Aden Swordsmen who are permanently stationed there. In addition, trainers and zookeepers hired to take care of the wyvern and Hresvelg.
It means that employees at the level of a fairly large company are employed.
“You’re welcome boss.”
“Did you enjoy your meal, Lord of the Five Swords?”
A War Sky mercenary guard and a swordsman from the Aden Swordsman greet you at the entrance.
Excluding the Guardians, they are the most elite force that can be hired, so as long as they reside, the office’s security is perfect.
“That’s right, boss. A guest has arrived.”
“Guest? Who?”
“I heard you shouldn’t tell me because you want to surprise me.”
“…….”
“……..”
Corin and Alisha took turns looking at each other and confirmed my guesses.
“What is going on?”
“Runia… well, she tends to go to bed early.”
There are no reinforcements. Corin had no choice but to follow the guidance of the staff and head to the reception room. A soft palm behind your back covering your eyes.
“Who~ is it?
His unique cheerful voice and silky soft hair touch the nape of his neck.
“S….”
“The answer is Ta-da! Estelle is the prettiest sister in the world!”
“You always come up with something new.”
Corin shook her head. Alisha cleared her throat and greeted her with the utmost courtesy.
“I would like to meet you, Her Highness… .”
“Junior Arisha is stiff every time I see her. “You said I can treat you comfortably?”
“Are you impressed by words like Hahahae? Please let me know…!”
“Something strange happened? Make it a little easier.”
“Ugh…”
Arisha complained, saying it’s okay because she’s Corrin.
This country is a class-based society anyway, and Estelle is probably higher than the king.
Arisha herself is religious. It was even more so after finding out the truth about Danan, but even so, it was difficult to be comfortable with the royal family whom I had looked up to as heaven since I was young. “Now,
there is no need to force yourself to be comfortable with me. I just need to be close to Corinne~”
Estelle hugged Corinne without hesitation. Corinne was disgusted, but Estelle smiled brightly and pressed her skin to her skin as closely as possible.
“Ah…!”
“Why? Is it because you’re embarrassed? What’s between us~”
“…….”
Alisha stared with an uncomfortable look as Estelle was flirting with Corinne.
Our Corinne.
Those words caught my eye.
How could it be that even Her Highness the Princess is hovering around Corinne? Did something happen?
‘You said you were a returning student.’
I heard that the saintess has virtually dropped out of school due to her busy work. This year, Estelle is twenty-two years old. That is——
“You are four years older than Corinne…”
She said it without thinking.
“… …”
“……”
A surprise shocking statement. Corinne and Estelle make shocked expressions.
“You, you…! “Are you singling out that I’m old?!”
“Yes? yes? Ah…!”
Only then did Alisha realize what she had said and turn pale.
“I don’t care if you are four years older than me?! Is it really loud? Iik…!”
“Oh no! no! That wasn’t my intention! are you okay! My sister is also ten years older than Corinne!”
“…Hoo. My younger brother thought that my older sister was the one to blame, right?”
“…!”
Arisha stiffens. In her field of vision, as stiff as if she had stiffened, there is Runia Aden—28 years old—.
“Oh, older sister… That’s not what I meant.”
“That’s enough. By the way, you’re going to the tournament, right? I’ll give you special training.”
Then Runia suddenly turns around. Alisha is crying and says, Sister~ That’s not it! And I followed him steadily.
“…….”
On the other hand, Estelle’s shoulders are still shaking, perhaps because she is still shocked by the age attack.
“Uh…”
She turned her head and asked cautiously, wiggling her fingers uncharacteristically.
“Do you hate older sisters too?”
“Uh… not really? They place more importance on appearance than actual age.”
If you add up his past life, he is a man in his forties. I have a conscience when it comes to discussing age.
“Couldn’t you please be a little more restrained than that? It’s a bit burdensome because we get so close to each other.”
“What’s wrong with showing affection to someone you like? And you don’t hate your little brother either!”
It is indeed a majestic and confident attitude.
“There’s no way a boy wouldn’t like a beautiful woman like me making advances, right?”
Well, objectively it was like that. Actually, I didn’t dislike Corin subjectively.
“That’s true, but… I’m asking you to refrain from looking at other people. Do you know how rumors spread these days?”
“I read the newspaper too.”
“It was in the newspaper too?!”
Corinne is shocked for the first time. It wasn’t just a matter of making a fuss on campus!
“Well, since I’m married, Corin’s younger sister can take responsibility for me~”
Estelle giggled and smiled innocently. Her flushed cheeks and wide expression were dazzlingly beautiful.
It would be a lie if I said I wasn’t tempted.
“Ugh… Anyway, what happened?”
“To tell you the news about Mir.”
“…Tell me.”
“Well, the official position is that I am nominally a victim. I think I will finish testifying in the trial against Kush and spend the fall harvest festival at the palace.”
“It’s practically a leave of absence.”
“Well… it looks like he has a lot to think about. I guess we should leave him alone for the time being. In the meantime, the mound-related administration is also progressing steadily.”
Corin was relieved to see Miriam not making much movement since the last mound incident.
If she had really made a political move, Mound-related issues would have been reduced to a headache at least until next year.
“What about the issue of the prisoners’ operation? In fact, they are not without sin.”
Because Kush took over everything, the prisoners were also serious sinners.
“Well, there wasn’t much movement. But it seems like there’s a lot of talk about using them as private soldiers. It seems like they see the ‘force’ concentrated on Corin’s younger brother as a threat.”
Corrin knew what he meant. It is a matter of ‘security’ and ‘politics’.
There are already over 400 magic tower wizards in Corin. Here, as the mound elevated Corin to the Fairy King Finnvara, they were also interpreted as Corin’s limbs.
Dangerous.
I can’t help but think that the force concentrated on one person was excessive.
Moreover, Corin Locke has already committed an act equivalent to treason against the will of the royal family.
“It’s difficult. Actually, it was expected.”
“Hehe…what’s there to be trouble about?”
Estelle’s beautiful fingers grabbed Corin’s chin. She raised her eyebrows with her captivating emerald eyes.
“I am a saint and my older sister is on your side.”
An eye smile that is so charming that you can fall in love with it. Corinne clears her throat as if trying to hide her embarrassment. Estelle stares straight at Corin as if she loves him.
“I am the church, and the church is always on your side. It’s okay for my younger brother to take advantage of that.”
“Let’s call it cooperation…”
“Hehe, so just bear with me even if I cause some trouble! If you don’t take care of this, you’ll get upset.”
“Keuhum! Still… please refrain from doing it in front of others.”
“There’s also a meaning of putting spit on it! Well, just looking at that girl named Alisha makes everyone feel at ease.
“Hmm….”
“You know? “She likes her younger brother.”
“Ha… She’s receiving too much love.”
Estelle said with a hardened gaze without raising the corners of her mouth.
“Now that I think about it, that kid. Did you say you were going to the tournament?”
“Oh yes… I asked for it. “Please get the winning prize.”
“Really? I’ll bring it to you.”
“Yes?”
“I’m going to the tournament.”
“There’s no need for that… Is it possible to go in the first place?”
Corin assumed that even if Estelle’s power was kept to a minimum, she would be a semi-special member. Saint Estelle is a party member. Although he had a strong image of being an external helper rather than someone who was recruited as a foreign national, he did not lack power.
Alteration of reality through prayer. He knows what that all-powerful power can do.
“I evaluate grades both officially and unofficially. I’ve never received anything like it. The reason I entered the Guardian Academy was because it had greater political significance.”
In the first place, she only attended for two years and had essentially dropped out. Even the Guardian Academy did not expect a busy saint to graduate faithfully. It was awarded a
kind of honorary diploma to high-ranking members of society. Estelle’s school life was supposed to be over.
“I’ll give it to you. So, I don’t need that Alisha.”
Corin gave Estelle, who had a very serious expression on her face, a questioning look.
“…Don’t you think I’m not mature enough to talk about my age?”
“It’s not like that…!”
She shouted . Estelle is screaming and pounding her chest. Looking at her soft hitting like a cotton bat, you can’t imagine Estelle’s helplessness… ‘
This is dangerous.’
Corinne, who knew Estelle’s powerlessness better than anyone else, looked embarrassed.
“How are you going to come and go during the festival in the first place?”
“I’ll ask Professor Clara! “I have to make a lot of markers in advance!”
It means that it will return every time a match. Even for Lady Joséphine, I think it would be difficult to make continuous ultra-long jumps… but… ‘It will
be possible. If Estelle even blesses Joséphine with a prayer directly. .’
It looks like the tournament will be more complicated than he thought.
“Sigh…”
Unfortunately, he had too much work to do to pay attention to that.
One month after the final exams, there was a 5-day harvest festival event. “ If you want to get more than five golden ribbons, you don’t have to start preparing now.
” “I’ll do it. Let’s do it…!”
I have to do it.
I have to do it to that extent to at least pretend to bear my own karma.
