I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 205
205. Return to the Academy I killed the player.
One platinum coin with illustrations from the Fall Harvest Festival (2) .
That is, one hundred gold coins.
There are so many things you can do with this.
First of all, it is money that can buy an entire floor of a luxurious building in the downtown area, and even if it cannot buy a wyvern, it is money that can buy a top-class horse from the south.
Even among Guardians who are known for making good money, it is rare to earn platinum coins.
Yes, within the Guardian Academy, only a very small number of people are ‘qualified’ to receive that level of work.
If it’s level 1, it’s on its own. If it’s level 2, it’s a party. If you are level 3, you are not even eligible to participate at all, and only in high difficulty subjugation battles of level 1 or higher do you get platinum money.
That.
Just one day.
No, actually half a day.
Since we won’t fill up until midnight, let’s have dinner.
Burning a platinum coin in that split second?
Isabelle… no, everyone present turned their gaze to the person who made the curious declaration.
How on earth are you so interested in Corin Locke that you burn a platinum coin in less than half a day?
Who else in this academy can make money like this other than Marie Dunareff?
The crazy person who burned the platinum coins… or rather, the person with a suspiciously large amount of money was a middle-aged man who went beyond everyone’s expectations.
“Who on earth—Uncle Mard?!”
“Oh, it’s been a while. Isabelle.”
Mard Dunareff. Marie’s biological father.
If Marie is the princess, then he is the emperor of the empire. Commonly known as the Potato Emperor.
Duke Dunaref, the actual owner of the southern part of the empire and said to have the greatest financial power on the continent, was at the auction.
-Duke Mard? Why is that guy here?
-Why such a
big guy …
.. To go on a date or something!”
“Uh…”
The duke was coughing up blood even as he barely managed to say the words as if his teeth were trembling.
“Corin Locke…! Unless I get sand in my eyes, there’s no way Marie will be next to you today! Because she’s going on a date with this dad all day today! Wahahahaha…!!”
-Oh…. -Oh
my….. -Wow
, it’s a key book.
-You’re a little awake
. That’s right. Duke Mard He came here only to prevent Marie from winning the bid for Corrin.
To monopolize time with my daughter. In order to get rid of her boyfriend, she made a choice that was essentially a strategy of winning the bid on her own!
“Hey, father?”
“Don’t call me father!”
The Duke of Mard is disgusted by Corin who raises his hand in bewilderment. Anyway, Corinne said something with all her heart.
“It’s a little… ugly.”
“History…is written in the hands of the victors!”
It seems that she is crazy with jealousy towards her daughter’s boyfriend. Isabel completely agreed with Corinne’s words and carefully raised the price.
“Chapter 110…….”
“Haha, Isabelle. Even though my daughter has a lot of money, how can I do it? 1000 sheets!”
“Mister…”
I raised my hand in a fashionable manner, but in the eyes of others, I had no such policy.
‘I’m no match for the money game…’
No matter how much Marie flies and how long she lasts, she is ultimately only the heir to the empire. A money contest with the emperor who rules a real empire? It is absurd.
“Hehe, it looks like there are no more bidders. Then I——”
“Honey. What are you doing here?”
“Hmph!”
Another person, completely unexpected, burst in.
Ellencia Dunareff. Empress of the Empire. This is Duchess Dunareff.
“Honey…! Weren’t you going to see Marie’s fair with the kids?”
“I heard that Corin was appearing at the auction, so I came to have a look. I didn’t expect you to be there.”
Duke Mard stiffened as if he had met the Grim Reaper. Yes. What good is he being the emperor of an empire?
“Are you really trying to interfere with our date?
” “Ugh…!” “Honey…!”
After all, he is just another husband.
“I really can’t live! “I’m waiting for the kids, so come follow me!”
“Honey…!”
Duke Mard was dragged like an animal to the slaughterhouse by Elencia, who grabbed his ear and pulled him.
He was a renowned wizard and emperor of the Potato Empire, but he was a high-ranking knight. I couldn’t win against my wife.
“Corin son-in-law~ We’ll all have a family meal together soon~”
“Please take a look, mother.”
“Who’s your mother?” uh? Who is your mother? “Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu] ]….
One piece of gold coin)
.
However, this is an amount that can be easily covered.
Obviously, unless it was the Duke of Mard, no one could raise their hand because they were so scared of a four-digit gold coin.
Corin was just about to sigh in relief and wait for the successful bid.
“Two thousand gold coins.” Jang~”
-What?
-I…?
-Two thousand?!
People flinched at the appearance of another dark horse. Isabelle stiffened when she saw the bidder’s face.
“Corrin’s younger brother~”
A third-year student who returned to school. Now a sacred place. A saint of the order who should be in… Estelle was waving her hand while grinning.
“Why are you coming out there again?!”
If you want to eat together, shouldn’t you come and eat whenever you want? Why bother spending money… ..
“Two thousand one sheets….”
“Three thousand sheets! “I just finished the match.”
-If it’s a match, it’s a tournament? The quarterfinals started 30 minutes ago, right?
-Are you just finishing off your opponent in the quarterfinals?
While the people at the auction hall were shocked, Isabelle felt sick to her stomach.
She said she had received a gold coin . If you call for an additional coin, the other person will raise it to the unit of a thousand.
A thousand gold coins is a huge increase. It is the standard for changing the unit. Even one gold coin is the monthly living expenses of a family of four, and is it a thousand? There is a secret rumor that the
saint has gone crazy these days. It was spreading, but was it true?
“Junior Isabelle, I know who asked you to come here, but are you okay? That’s not your junior’s money~”
Saint Estelle. The lovely pink beauty has the personality of always taking what she wants.
“Hmm….”
Isabelle drooled in front of the leader of the largest religious power on the continent. .
Of course, in terms of financial power, it is not directly comparable to Dunarev.
Her position was that of a saint, and she was only a religious leader of the church, not a business person who receives profits. Of course,
if only she was a ‘saint’. .
Estelle Hadassa ‘El Ras’ was the only heir to the throne in this country, and had recently confiscated the assets of the apostate Pope and Cardinals by condemning them. As a faithful saint, she would have gladly donated these assets to the church
. She is not what she is now.
A non-believer who abandoned false gods, found a new faith, and had ambitions to become the goddess of the earth herself, gulped down a slush fund that even the princess of an empire could not underestimate. Of course, there is no way Isabelle would know this, but she could not believe this money
. I didn’t have the guts to make a big fuss in Daejeon.
‘Marie said it doesn’t matter how much it costs, but…’
As Isabelle knows, Marie’s monthly allowance is tens of thousands of gold. This is also considered an expense to maintain dignity by Duke Mard. The money she receives.
This is separate from the income from her own mines and rice fields.
Marie is a super rich person who can spend around 100,000 gold if she decides to spend money, saying, ‘Ah, I need to save some from next month.’ No matter how much she is a
saint , Even though she can’t keep up with this amount of money, Isabelle, who has to spend it, was different.
“Ugh…”
Her economic sense is completely normal. She is an extremely normal person who trembles at the thought of even moving a hundred units of gold, let alone a thousand. Of course,
Estelle and Marie Well, I would be happy to do it in the sense of keeping competitors in check.
-There are no more bids… right? Then I take it as such. As the unimaginable
amount was exchanged, the host, a fourth-year student from Rondon, had a trembling voice.
That’s right. Three thousand gold coins… thirty platinum coins is the amount of money that even a decent Guardian can earn over a lifetime.
Burning that kind of money on just one meal? It means that rich people of that scale actually existed.
“Well then! Now, for today, my little brother belongs to me~”
Estelle climbed up to the venue with light steps that made it impossible to imagine that she would be burning 3,000 gold coins.
Then, he bucked Corin’s waist and declared proudly.
“Because she’s mine, okay?”
Everyone was speechless at that proud possessiveness.
……
…
Immediately after the auction ended, Marie came to Isabelle with high expectations.
“Isabel~ Did the auction go well? Where is Corrin now?”
“Uh… Marie, that’s it.”
Marie smiles and searches for someone who is not here. There was not the slightest doubt in her golden mind about what if.
“Isabelle?”
“That…”
Isabelle explained the whole story. Duke Mard broke in and Estelle ultimately won the bid for 3,000 gold coins.
“Why? I gave you a blank check…”
“No matter how much you think about it, it’s a bit weird to spend gold coins on a single meal… No, if you want to eat with Corin in the first place, you can eat whenever you want.”
“That’s not important! No! Of course it is important!”
That wasn’t the important thing. The important thing is to win. This means not depriving anyone of the opportunity given to them.
“I could have spent about a million gold!”
“What?! Come to your senses, you crazy thing!!”
Isabelle began to fear that Marie was really rich enough to spend that money.
* * * *
A luxury hotel suite in the city. Room service, booked with the expectation of victory from the beginning, is gradually piling up.
The table, which should have been more romantic than ever, became heavy with silence as sumptuous steaks and centuries-old wine were placed on the table.
“…….”
“…….”
The reason is no different. This is because Corin had been silently staring at Estelle for a while.
It wasn’t the usual gentle gaze at all.
“Um…younger brother?”
“Don’t call me little brother.”
“Hey…”
“Stop clicking your tongue.”
“Uhm… are you angry?”
Estelle cowered in despair at Corin’s anger-filled mood.
Let’s say the max level of anger is 10, it’s about 6. It’s unclear whether it’s serious or not, but the big thing is that it’s never shown anything like this before.
“I really want to punch you, but I’m holding back because I’m afraid it will hurt my body.”
“Why…”
“Are you asking because you don’t know that?”
“I really don’t know…”
Estelle looked like she didn’t know what was going on. That raised Corin’s anger level by one level.
“Is three thousand gold coins a joke? I had no idea that you and the saintess would do something like this.”
“It’s not a lot of money….”
“It’s a lot of money, and it’s not something you just throw away at a place like this.”
“Then…! Then let Corrin win the bid from junior Isabelle? It would have been better if it had been Duke Mard.”
“No, that’s not important——”
“That’s important to me.”
Estelle is staring straight at Corinne. As of now, she is quite serious.
“Three thousand gold coins? Just think of it as a donation. A lot of money? Yes, it’s not a small amount of money. But I used it for something worthwhile, and I am very satisfied.”
Estelle smiled brightly without the slightest regret. Corin felt uncomfortable with such an attitude.
“There is a limit. I didn’t want you to buy ribbons with money.”
Corin’s goal was to obtain the golden ribbon by recording the highest price. He expected to win the bid through Ren, and expected 20 to 30 gold at most.
And the other ribbons were to be given as gifts to grateful people who liked her. It was
completely unacceptable for Estelle to become a form of saving ribbons on her own like this.
Estelle’s expression hardened when she heard Corinne’s words, whether she knew it or not.
” Buying ribbons with money?”
“…It ended up being similar.”
Estelle grabbed one of Corin’s arms and willingly let it touch my cheek. So that her large palm could touch my face. ”
Well, so. Maybe you can see it. But in that situation, juniors Nana Marie would have acted the same way.”
“…….”
“That’s what we were trying to do. I wasn’t trying to buy the ribbon, I was just preventing you from being sold.”
Estelle’s gaze hardened without any mischief. She admits that it was an ugly attempt. But she has absolutely no regrets or shame.
“I know why you want to go to the auction. My younger brother participates in several competitions at the same time. “I blame myself for putting a burden on myself.”
“But I’m glad I tried. I love your sincerity and love your sense of responsibility. know. You are not someone who can be bought with money. Money is no way to have you. But…”
A fire is burning in Estelle’s eyes. Envy, jealousy, monopoly, possessiveness… a maniacal obsession for one being.
“It is unacceptable. You become someone else’s official property, even if just for a moment. very. It’s very… unpleasant.”
“It’s giving too much meaning.”
“Isn’t it case-by-case?”
Estelle withdrew her burning gaze and smiled.
“At least it means a lot to me.”
How did she come to like her this much? . Corin was puzzled by Estelle’s fanatical obsession.
Even before her return, the interest she showed was close to a normal ‘ho’. But now…
Is it really that she abandoned her faith? The Lord. The saint who prayed for salvation and mercy seemed to have transferred her faith to me.
“Haa… Please be careful next time. Unlike you, I have bird breasts.”
“Hehe, I’ll be careful! That’s right, the food is getting cold. Would you like my sister to cut the steak for me?”
“It’s okay.”
Estelle poured herself a glass of wine with a smile on her face.
Still, the moment she reached for the wine glass, thinking that it would be the first time in a long time that she would drink.
-Suddenly ,
it went up from her ankles to her shins. Something.
It’s not transmitted because it’s blocked by the fabric of my pants, but I realize that there’s only one thing that can reach me from under the table.
“You know, little brother.”
Estelle rested her chin and smiled seductively.
“Shall I play a bad game with you?”
That smile. This was infinitely more alluring.
