I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 204

204. Return Killed the Academy Player

Fall Harvest Festival (1)

The Fall Harvest Festival began

at the end of November .

The biggest anniversary of the year, which runs from Monday to Sunday.

The long-awaited beginning begins with the arrival of tourists from the city and surrounding small towns.

A period in which the normally closed academy opens its doors once a year. Festivals and harvest festivals. People did not spare the opportunity to meet the aspiring heroes of this era.

“Did the Len ingredients arrive safely?”

“Not yet, boss. What about charcoal?”

“Setup is complete. Ron! Open the store slowly!”

“Your brother!”

From early in the morning, Corin and the wolf siblings were busy preparing for business.

The sales event, which is held six days a week, has a large number of students applying, so applicants are only given two days to sell.

Sales and net profits during these 6 days of sales are combined to determine 1st to 3rd places.

“But is this possible? Aren’t there so many competitors that the chances of winning are greatly reduced?”

“That’s not true.”

To Ren, who looked puzzled, Corrin explained while picking up the lit charcoal with tongs.

“What do you mean there are a lot of competitors? It’s a red ocean, etc. It means everything is the same.”

“That’s why so many people flock to your store…”

“Hehehehe… prepare the food. I’ll show you some magic.”

Strangely confident. Although Len and Ron helped out as kitchen assistants, this confidence was difficult to understand.

Corin’s store is located in the middle of Academy Boulevard. It’s not a bad location, but there are dozens of competing stores nearby.

How on earth are you going to differentiate yourself among so many competitors and do business?

At that time, there is a group pulling a cart from the other side. Corrin waved at them.

“Here you go Bae!”

“Hey, President Corin! How have you been?”

An easterner discovers Corin and rushes towards him. I am the CEO of Bright Bae, a business operator in Merkava City.

“Please call the boss your little brother. Aren’t we Gwansi?”

“Huh, is that so, Corin’s younger brother? These are the items you ordered.”

“Oh~ Let’s take a look at some things.”

The items that Bright’s boat was carrying were a tank full of live eels.

“Hey, these guys are so strong! Look at how strong they are! You saved them in time.”

“There are only a few fish farms around, so I barely managed to get enough. But in total, there are over 300 fish. Can you sell them all?”

“it’s possible.”

Ren looked at the price tag posted at the store. A lunch box of half an eel with seasoned chives costs 2 silver coins each. It is an amount that can never be said to be cheap.

This stuff is sold at kids’ festivals?

But the question was quickly resolved.

“Brother Corrin! I’m here.”

“Oh, this is so good for a man’s body?”

“Sangsang~ Sister is here~ Oh my, the store is small and minimalist and cute~” They

are coming one by one.

It was instantaneous for that number to increase.

“……uh?”

“These people… what are they?”

“Guys. Do you know what’s important about the school festival?”

“The price…?”

“No, because it’s a festival anyway, everyone spends a lot of money. Surprisingly, people who know these festivals tend to go to them first.”

Who is Corin Locke?

Isn’t he the most famous person in the city and kingdom?

In addition, he is a guardian who scratches the itches of city residents by accepting various missions from the mission board.

Moreover, the buzz created by teaching exercise consistently over the past three weeks was enough to spark sales on this particular day.

“…The taste is just so-so.”

“Hahahaha! Who would expect good food from a place like this! What’s important is that you came to meet me!”

“Uhm… I feel a bit sorry for other people.”

The people who came to Corinne’s store were not only hikers and men and women who were exercising.

“Mister Knight~ Hello!”

“Hello, Miss Anna! Is Butterfly running away from home these days?”

“Oh, you said you were in business, so you sell things like this? Chicken breast salad? Give me one of these.”

“Mielle, I heard you sell cake too? I’ll definitely go eat it.”

“Grilled eel? It smells… nice.”

“Professor Dana, I’ll give it to you at half price, so stop cutting the grass and come eat.”

“Is that okay?”

…………

………

……

Business is going well.

Even if it goes well, it goes too well.

“Wow…”

There were so many customers that the lunch boxes prepared in advance were sold out in an instant, so the hands cooking the eel were busy.

“This… is really selling out.”

“How are you? Did it work out well?”

“Really… it seems like first place is just a given?”

Ren looked impressed. It was not unfounded confidence.

“Well, it’s not the first time.”

“Have you ever been in business?”

“Before.”

Corin was sold similarly in the previous episode. To be precise, it was a job to help a female senior who was running a small skewer business, but Corin’s friends started to gather one by one, and the product was sold out in an instant.

‘The chicken skewers didn’t taste good.’

It started out as a way to make small memories, but I remember being surprised that it turned out better than I expected.

“But these eels are selling particularly well… is there a reason?”

“I leaked a rumor that eel is good for men.”

“Huh? Only for men?”

Ren couldn’t read the intention of those words. I grew up in an environment where the education there was still insufficient to understand it.

“There is such a thing. Something good for men.”

“Is it true?”

“Actually, it’s a lie.”

“Yeah?”

A shocked expression that says they are doing business with lies.

“Actually, what’s really good for men is not the eel, but the leeks.”

“Uh… then you can just sell the chives, right? Instead of putting them on the eel.”

“Leeks are cheap. Even if you sell them, you won’t make any profit. And who would eat seasoned chives at a festival? Since it’s an eel, you’re spending a lot of money.”

“Huh…”

Ren was both disappointed and secretly impressed by this clever salesmanship. This person’s personality is a bit strange, so I wonder if he’s the type of person who would do well in business.

Corin’s store was a success, boasting overwhelming sales.

* * * *

Even though the festival has started, there are people everywhere who quietly maintain their usual schedule even when others are having fun.

Arisha belonged to that category. It wasn’t exactly…but it was because I felt an unusual sense of crisis recently.

The round of 32, which was a morning game, was easy. This is thanks to the fact that they defeated a strong opponent in the preliminaries through group cooperation and advanced to the finals.

But the round of 16 was not easy. Doron Warsky. I barely won against that swordsman.

“Ouch……”

Private room in the class room. Arisha swung the sword a few times and then removed the bandage from her throbbing shoulder.

‘Next opponent…’

Quarterfinals and semifinals. And if you reach the finals, there is a high probability that you will find a saint.

Saint Estelle.

Considering the unprecedented strength shown in the preliminaries, this would not be an easy opponent.

‘It must be hard, right?’

You won’t be able to win. Even if you look at it objectively, it is the same. You can tell even if you haven’t actually been evaluated.

She is a strong person similar to my older sister. This is the type of superhuman who is given the nickname ‘special’ that goes beyond common sense.

will lose You might lose ugly. I might not be able to withstand even one punch that destroyed the stadium and I’d be thrown out…

‘But I’m the one Corrin asked for. ‘I told you to bring me the winning prize.’

Then you have to do it yourself. I want to do it myself. I didn’t want that role to be taken over by someone else.

The reason Estelle entered the tournament was to take away the role given to me.

“No… no. No. No.”

Although she was a fairly non-greedy type.

He was not so generous that he would back down from love.

* * * *

Isabelle Kirmin, a third-year student at Merkava, did not view the auction event very favorably.

In today’s world, an auction event feels like a meal date with an idol.

If the student who put himself up for auction wins the bid, he becomes the bidder’s only knight and spends the day with him.

It was a project to satisfy the romance of chivalry, and it was more popular than expected.

However, whether to call it pure or impure… no, most of them have intentions close to impurity.

“Senior Buck is coming out today!”

“Aaa~! I will definitely win the bid!”

“I heard she appeared as Jane in first grade.”

“Wow, that’s awesome. If I get the bid, can I go on a date with her?”

“Use… my wallet…”

The voices heard here and there are the ambitions of students of the same age who seem to be targeting someone.

If the person you want to date appears at an auction, you will win even if you spend a lot of money.

When people are involved in a sweet romantic relationship, they become less rational than they think. My close friend was like that.

“Isabel! “Please!”

Isabelle still did not understand the absurd request from her best friend, Marie.

“You want me to bid for Corin at an auction? “You can go out.”

“Corin told me not to come out! Still, I can’t allow other girls to steal Corin away! Isabelle! “You win the bid for me!”

“Are you serious? Do you really have to do that?」

「

We… are friends, right?

It was worse.

“I can’t help it.”

Isabelle, who has already received a large sum of money from Marie, plans to bid for Corin appropriately.

‘They are not high-ranking guardians, but most of them are students who only earn four or five gold coins as pocket money. The amount available is at most ten gold coins.’

Of course, there are exceptions to the standard, such as Corin Locke. Children who have been earnestly earning money through mission boards since first grade or whose families have a lot of money to begin with.

The former is not the type that appears at auctions like this, and the latter is Marie, so there is no problem.

‘Considering Corin’s fame and popularity, there may be a lot of competitors, but the limit would be 50 at most.’

“This is where I left the seat for you.”

“Hmm…!”

“What number is that guy?”

“It would have been the last time.”

Since it was an auction held for the purpose of dating, I thought there would be few people, but there were more people than I expected.

The auction held in a rented small auditorium was filled with people, and soon it was auction time.

-Hello, distinguished guests.

The fourth-year student who served as emcee nodded and bowed.

-Thank you to the distinguished guests who visited our Merkava Academy today──

After the remarks, applause follows. Perhaps because he was not a professional presenter, the progress was quick as there were no major lacquers in the sentences.

Each person won the bid, and the winning bid amount was the highest so far.

-Yes, junior Luna from the 3rd year knight department, thirteen gold coins! I won the bid for thirteen copies!

Isabelle, who was watching the auction, frowned. Why spend so much money for just one day?

If it were not for the plausible reason that the winning bid was being used to relieve the poor, there would have been controversy over the speculative nature of the bid.

“Senior Lu Luna! Would you please spend the day with me today?”

“What are you, junior Jun?

Surprised, you?” The person who won the bid for a 3rd grade senior was a freshman in the 1st grade. Oh, is it possible for a love seed to sprout in that way? It’s understandable that Marie is wary. -The next auction will be a hot topic

! A person who single-handedly stopped an army! A hero who saved thousands of people! A star of this academy who is sure to be the next special article! This is junior Corin Locke! The fourth-year senior’s voice was full of power, as if he was quite proud. His

progress Corin is seen coming out on stage.

-The pride of our knight department! A genius who has already rivaled the famous swordsman Runia Arden in his first year! Corin Locke, the knight of the sun! What is he called these days? -Woooo

… ! -The

fishery manager!

-Deples! Die …!

The boos of the guys who are distorted by jealousy is the

opposite

.

It’s a fisherman… It’s a bit like that.

-It’s not like he’s doing it because he wants something else,

so what? Corin is nice. I’m a cancer. -That’s right.

Unlike the men who express their strong dislike, the women have a favorable view. Yes, I like people. He

doesn’t abandon those in need, he is very considerate, and above all, he has no evil intentions.

If you approach him with that pure kindness and unique friendliness, anyone can’t help but

like him. Even men jeer at him, but there was no one who truly disliked them.

– All of us. Would you like to get together and bid? There’s no rule saying you can’t share date tickets.

-Well, it’s fun just talking to Corinne.

-It would be enough for everyone to collect two or three tickets in order to donate.

‘This is going to be a bit tough.’ .’

Corinne is a popular person. Luna, a third-year student who was famous for her considerable beauty, had thirteen gold coins, so Corinne’s winning bid would skyrocket. Someone who was worried about this suggested an alliance. Although she received a blank

check

from Marie, she still became a friend. I didn’t want to see them spend an astronomical amount of money just to win the bid for one man.

-Okay! First, would you like to introduce junior Corin Locke?

-Junior Corin entered as a level 5 engineer and achieved level 1 in just one semester. He was an unprecedented first-year student who was promoted to knight. At that time, his sparring with the swordsman Runia was such that it felt like this was what Cheon Oecheon was like. – He made a great contribution in subduing the King of Cheolsan, a special level

monster in the Legend of Legends that took place in the Experiment Building last year.

– Won the team competition at the festival with Boramae Academy! The legend of Immortan Locke is still a hot topic. -This

year, he caught numerous vicious criminals and was promoted to first-class judge! You can’t miss the famous Danash subjugation incident.

-Some extreme The knight of the sun single-handedly blocked an army of over 30,000 men to resolve the misunderstanding caused by werewolves! – The video containing the

legendary battle that defeated great knights and wizards and ultimately changed the map is still available at a huge premium. It’s being traded. The official highest price was five platinum coins, I guess?

People’s mouths dropped wide open at the record being listed. There were people who knew, but as soon as they heard it, they realized that I was no ordinary guy. I was only a second-year

knight. Even if they are about to enter third grade, the records set by a young knight in his prime are legendary and he was leading an era.

They all instinctively realize this.

Just as 80 years ago was the era of Changseong and

40 years ago was the era of the Sword Emperor,

now Corinth Locke’s time will come.

-Then, junior Corin. What are your hobbies?

-What about you, junior? Please feel free to call me your younger brother. Brother Rondon.

-Hahahaha! Shall I? Can you tell me about your hobby?

-It’s a diverse hobby. If you say you’re training in spearmanship… you’ll be criticized for being a criminal, right?

-Hehehe You shouldn’t show off even in places like this.

-Cooking is my hobby these days. As you know, our academy has a lot of potatoes. I’m learning how to cook potatoes so I can consume those many potatoes.

-ha ha ha! Yes, our academy’s potato warehouse is a specialty. Marie junior should have come here too.

Despite the host’s unannounced talk, Corin skillfully responded and continued with Tiki Taka.

-You know third-year Elsa, right? The senior said he was making clothes and exhibiting them this time. It is being exhibited on the 2nd floor of Hall B in Jayu-dong, so be sure to go there.

-One of my classmates is called Mielle. Desserts will be sold starting tomorrow, so I recommend it. It tastes good, etc.

-My friend Lark said he was holding a showcase for life magic books. If you are planning to go to a magic fair, be sure to go there.

His talk, in which he actively introduced people he was close to rather than appealing to himself, was fun just to listen to.

He is known as a good person in many ways, but I guess that’s why everyone likes him because of his caring nature.

-Then let’s start bidding. Corinne, honestly, how much do you expect to win the bid?

-Can I be honest with you?

-sure!

-I was the last one, but the person who won the most expensive bid was senior Luna, a third year student. No more, no less, just fourteen. That’s enough.

-Oh~ You have pride, right?

At that time, Isabelle noticed that Corinne’s eyes met someone as she said the amount. At the end of the gaze was a golden-haired girl shining brightly in the dark small auditorium.

‘Ho~ You want to win the bid yourself?’

It looks like you have insurance. For some reason, I thought I would participate in one or two competitions, but it looks like I will actually win five golden ribbons.

-Then let the auction begin! Starting with Corin’s younger brother, start with three gold coins!

“Chapter 3.1!”

“Chapter 3.4!”

At first, it went up smoothly to the silver dollar level. However, it gradually begins to rise steeply in gold coin units.

“Five sheets!”

“Six sheets!”

“Nine sheets!”

It took only a moment to reach the fourteen gold coins that Corin mentioned. Certainly, when female students form an alliance, the amount goes up significantly.

“huh?”

Isabelle realized that among those bidding at the auction were a group of male students, not women.

Jaeger… and Corin’s male classmates. Isabelle was shocked when she read the jealousy and speculation in their eyes.

-I can’t see Koga eating with women again!

-Hehehe…! Corinne you have to eat with us!

-I will no longer let you take away my small children!

Ah… what kind of ugly jealousy is this? Isabelle stuck her tongue out at the shabby unity of the male students.

Do you think girls will be interested in you like that?

At first glance, I just wanted to lose, but Isabelle also supports her friend’s love life. In a ripe mood, she raised her hand.

“Twenty sheets.”

-Oh oh! 20 gold coins! Chapter 20 is out!

Several people turned around at Isabelle’s sudden appearance. Among them was Ren, a blonde wolf girl.

-Hmm?

When Corinne makes eye contact with Isabelle, she sighs as if she understands the context. Yes, it is a key policy.

“Twenty-one pieces!”

“Twenty-two pieces!”

The male students’ union and the female students’ union raise their hands as if they will not be defeated. I feel like I’m overheating, but second place is thirteen gold coins.

Considering Corin Locke’s fame, the price is about twice that high. The price is not that expensive──

“Fifty gold coins.”

Everyone is shocked at the amount of money Isabel throws away like a fly. Burning fifty gold coins just for a meal date ticket?

This was an amount that even shook Corin Locke, the person involved.

-No, Isabelle. I know, but… isn’t that too harsh?

‘I’m just going to be quiet and go on a date with Marie.’

When the gold coin soared to fifty pieces, there were no more bidders. It’s an unimaginable amount to sell at an auction, but for Marie, it’s not even a daily allowance, let alone a monthly allowance.

The moment when the winning bidder is decided by the appearance of such a big hand──

“One platinum coin.”

Another crazy person…no, another big man has appeared.
