I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 26
[Daily Life (1)]
He is alone in the forest in the eerie cold.
No, I’m not alone.
There are beasts.
The forest predators are trembling and rigid in fear.
If I were to express this a little more roundly, you could say that we are together.
The monsters that were the object of fear now fear themselves. What kind of change of mind was it that made me feel satisfied with an impossible fear?
I drank their blood because of my burning thirst and chills, but my thirst was not quenched and my heart was still cold.
I see… My heart and blood vessels are no longer pulsating…
A boy came to visit.
Bring your comrades to subdue yourself.
Yeah… this is what ends up happening.
The one shred of reason that remained predicted the beast’s words.
“Slow down. Chehala.”
The hand patting my back is gentle.
The skin that touched it was hot and warm.
Reason, which had been drifting, was pushed by waves of sensation and settled on land.
“It’s okay. It’s okay.”
When she spat out the cold beast and regained her humanity──
“I’m sorry. I’m sorry… I’m sorry…”
All Marie could say was an apology.
ah. Ah…….
What right do I have to make a mistake?
Will Isabelle be okay? Is your junior okay?
Because she was a girl who liked people more than anyone else, her guilt ate away at her as each day passed.
He accepted the magic of Madame Joséphine, who had restrained Marie, without resistance, and locked himself inside the iron bars.
Although she pretended not to notice when the boy came, she was devastated.
What happens if it crashes again?
If you hurt someone, there’s no turning back…
I remember myself being consumed by instinct and lusting for blood like an animal.
The feeling that reason was stuffed and my mind and body were separated was horrifying.
He is a beast.
They were monsters and demons.
An enemy of humanity that never knows when it will seek human blood. Is it okay for me to act like an ordinary person like this?
『Senior Marie is a good person. She’s kind and pretty… Anyway, I prefer a happy ending. So… I hope Marie Dunareff is happy.』
I feel like my mind is breaking.
One word that came to mind blew away all my worries.
The one word she said while twitching, scratching her cheek, and feeling embarrassed was more sincere than anything she had ever heard.
Because I remember the dedication of the boy who willingly sacrificed himself to save himself from being turned into a monster.
Marie realized that a part of her life would be forever stuffed in her memory.
How could I forget?
That intense and hot moment.
The boy’s sincere good will and dedication.
You warmed my cold blood vessels and made my heart that was not pulsating beat again.
『Senior Marie is a good person. Kind and pretty………….』
“Ahh…….”
『Slowly. Chehalla.』
“Aaaah…….”
He struggles and kicks the blanket. The heat that came during the night was not enough to cool down with the chilly night dew.

Merkava Academy’s classes are relatively broad overall.
The only thing that forces you to take a tight class is the first-year class, but even this is quite valuable as it is filled with practical essential classes such as bookmaking, setting up a field tent, and Dokdo method.
“Hey, check this out.”
Home practice time. It was a ‘how to make field food’ class, which started with learning how to repair torn clothes in the previous class.
“What… puhup!”
“Jaeger you… kkkkk!”
“What is it?”
“Oh, that’s awesome.”
“Ugh… dirty men.”
“Don’t come this way. It’s not fun, right?”
In the conflicting atmosphere of men and women. Jaeger proudly praised the menu he created.
Jaegerpyo’s instant field rations are large mushrooms found in the wild placed between chunks of minced meat that are easy to eat in one bite… “How do you think,
Corin? Don’t you want to eat it?”
“I think Park Ga will like it.”
“Who is that?”
“You’re that kind of guy. Do more now. When you get older, you won’t be able to play pranks like that.”
You could get buried alive. Well, social burial aside, Jaeger’s Academy love story was just buried.
“Men…”
“Let’s not talk to them.”
“……uh.”
Jaeger, perhaps reading the reactions of the female students who made up half of the knight and magic departments, seemed perplexed.
“Corinne…”
“Please… don’t come closer. We’re not that close. Oh, Mielle! Is that pound cake? It’s high in calories, so it’s a good choice.”
“Koriiiin…! Traitor…!”
what. Originally, home training was supposed to be taught to girls.
“It looks delicious. Just one bite.”
“Ugh~ You’re having a hard time because of your friend. Come on.”
“Oh, it’s refreshing. I think it would be okay to drink it with black tea.”
“Black tea? Wouldn’t it be troublesome to brew black tea outdoors?”
“That’s not true. Tea bags are small and light, and it’s hard to find clean water outdoors, so mixing them with black tea helps purify water.”
“Wow, you’re so knowledgeable. Would you like another bite?”
“If you give it to me, I’ll be grateful. Oh, it’s delicious, too. I can go to Mielle Bakery.”
“Not to that extent.”
-Hahahoho
I got some by flirting with the girls and Lark approached me. FYI, this person is making smoked salmon, so it will take some time.
“Corrine what are you making? Why are you pushing the potatoes so flat?”
“Hehe, this is the advancement of combat rations. It’s a revolution.”
“What are you talking about?”
When the ground potatoes were flattened with a heated roller, they became as thin as paper. This is already the 20th time doing this.
If you add some water and stir the flattened paper potatoes like this, you can make mashed potatoes, pour in a little oil and bake them to make potato pancakes.
This method was also used as combat rations during World War II because you could carry as many potatoes as you wanted by squeezing them tightly.
If you add extravagant cream or milk, it becomes a full-fledged dish, but you have no choice but to take this into account because you don’t eat it to taste delicious, you eat it to survive.
I sometimes used this method a lot when going on expeditions.
“Hmm, I never thought we could use potatoes like this. Is that why you heated up the roller?”
Professor Rura Lara of alchemy, who was in charge of this class, looked at my results with interest.
“I can’t believe you can make preserved food like this without magic. The Knight Faculty will like it. I’ll give it to Corin’s student store.”
“Oh thank you.”
“If the student is okay with it, I would like to verify at the undergraduate level whether it is practical or not?”
“Oh well, you can name me Corinne Potato later.”
For reference, the previous episode was Park Si-hoo’s Potato. Damn it was my idea. At one point, the name Park Si-hoo Potato was included in the standard rations of guardians and soldiers.
“And Jaeger students are penalized.”
“Huh…! I’m sorry…”
Does this mean Jaeger gets 3 penalty points? From 5 points onwards, it’s starting to get dangerous because you have to clean the school garden.
-Did you hear that?
-What?
-I’m talking about senior Marie, the head of the 2nd year magic department.
-Ah~ That potato senior.
-I heard from a second-year senior that the verification is complete!
-really? Is it really safe?
-Do you know Nandle? But the chairman said it was safe?
It’s already been a week since the Marie incident ended.
It didn’t take long for Marie’s awakening as a demon to be announced, and at first it was literally chaos.
In fact, awakening as a demon in this world is not that rare. I didn’t know where I would get stimulation from the demon race.
Surprisingly, the population is quite high, and there are residential areas where only demons live together.
The problem is that Marie, who is praised as the favorite genius of the second-year magic department, has awakened. Among them, it is a vampire that belongs to the most threatening category.
On the first day, opinions were divided among the students. Shouldn’t we chase them out? It’s scary. How can you hang out with a demon?
However, this claim was quickly refuted because Hwaran, the main person at the time, was a first-year freshman.
Aside from the threat of the Hwaran, I was living a quiet life at the academy right now, so the threat of the Mine did not really hit me.
A week has passed since Marie announced her awakening as a vampire.
All kinds of protests and inquiries came in from the Kingdom’s Magic Tower, Catholic, Protestant, and Guardian Associations, and professors from the Department of Magic packed up books listing the characteristics of vampires to prove that Marie was safe.
As of yesterday, it was announced that Marie was completely safe and that she would be placed in a special dormitory supervised by Chief Professor Josephine.
Thanks to this, the topic of conversation within the academy for the past few days was Marie, and the same was true for Jaeger, who was also a party to the incident.
“Hey, that demon ship… I heard that Marie-senpai came out today?”
“Yeah, I guess? And don’t even think about talking about demons in front of your second-year seniors. You’ll get beaten to death.”
“Keu…”
Jaeger didn’t seem to have the confidence to control his irritable mouth.
“It’s done.”
“Oh~ Corinne, you’re good at cooking?”
“You made the mashed potatoes well. It’s a lot. Can I eat it too?”
“Wait, take some with you.”
The mashed potatoes, made with potatoes left over from making paper potatoes, seemed to be made quite well.
After wrapping it up properly, I ate the rest with the others and successfully completed the home training session.

“I’m sorry, Isabelle. I… I really committed a deadly sin…”
“No! I said it was okay.”
The back entrance of the central academic building on campus. Isabelle repeatedly expressed her gratitude for her friend’s burdensome apology.
On the first day of Marie’s awakening, she was suddenly attacked by Marie and fainted.
Although the experience of sucking blood could not be said to be very pleasant, Isabelle has gained some practical experience as a second-year student in the Department of Magic. I am somewhat accustomed to being exposed to violence.
What is more important than that is Marie. When he called out to her out of breath, he could see the look on her face as she backed away in fear.
‘I was crying. Marie.’
How scary was it? How confusing was it?
Isabelle showed the greatest empathy for Marie, who had been her roommate since first grade.
I heard that when a vampire first awakens, they are overcome by a strong urge to suck blood.
Nevertheless, I was truly proud of Marie, who came to her senses and stopped sucking blood along the way.
“I’m sorry… I’ve been thinking about how to apologize. But there’s nothing I can do… I have no choice but to ask for forgiveness from Isabelle…” “It’s okay,
it’s okay! That can happen in life!”
Truly Marie’s friend. Those bright and positive thoughts tend to come together among themselves.
Because Isabelle is like that, she easily agreed to the persuasion of Chairman Eriu and Mrs. Josephine.
For Marie’s sake, he asked her to ignore the fact that he had been consumed by blood and not to reveal it.
Although she was promised considerable compensation in return, Isabelle flatly refused.
There is no price to pay to protect and protect your friends.
Now that Marie has recovered Izzy and received sufficient verification from the professors of the Department of Magic, there is no need to comment further on this matter.
“Are you moving into a special dormitory?”
“Uhm… just in case.”
“Marie, we are still friends. I am your friend. Do you think of me as a friend too?”
“Yes, but…”
Isabelle patted Marie’s head, which was stained with guilt, and hugged her.
“Thank you, Isabelle.”
Marie wrapped her cute little body in Isabelle’s arms. I hugged her. This girl, who was depressed due to guilt, was still cute and lovely.
As if filming a youth drama, Isabelle was satisfied with the very satisfying development. This was
bold enough to pass over as if it could be something like the experience of sucking blood. The girl had it.
“Oh, you’re here.”
It was when I was enjoying Marie for a while that I heard a cheerful voice that sounded irreverent and delinquent.
“Corin?”
Marie’s voice was directed over her shoulder. It crackled and I turned my gaze to see there. There is a boy with a wild look.
I’ve seen it before. Kane. A first-year student who started a fight because that idiot went too far. He is the object of attention that Marie has been particularly interested in recently. “Are you here?!
”
The golden boy who was crying until a while ago. Her eyes sparkled brightly.
Then Marie came out of Isabelle’s arms and jumped up and down on her heels.
Uh…
Isabelle could only watch the girl running away in a huff.
“You look healthy.”
“Yes! It’s been a while!”
“It’s been a while. “I saw you two days ago.”
What? What’s going on now?
Why are you abandoning yourself, whom you only saw in a week, and talking dirty to a first-year student you saw two days ago?
Were regular students allowed to visit two days ago in the first place?
Are you even comfortable talking? A first-year student? Against Marie, who every second-year student wants to talk to at least once?
“Here to celebrate my release from prison.”
“Wow! Mashed Potatoes! That’s what I like!”
“I eat that when I’m hungry, and then this.”
“Tofu?”
“When you come home from school… no, when you get out of prison, it’s an Eastern Continental culture that teaches you to live cleanly from now on.” ”
Wow, Corin knows something . That’s a lot!”
Marie happily biting into a piece of white tofu without any seasoning.
Marie filled her cheeks with a tofu without even swallowing it and smiled brightly. She looked down at the girl happily with an expression not much different from Isabelle. Boy watching.
“Why don’t you eat slowly? Chehala.”
Oh wow! Um! Ah?!
As if something had overlapped, Marie reacted like a broken puppy, and even her earlobes turned bright red. She took a step back and quickly changed her position behind Isabelle’s back. “Huh
?
” Oh nothing… no, the tofu was delicious! thank you! Oh, by the way, I had an appointment with Isabelle!”
Marie was making up non-existent words and rambling as if she had a breakdown.
It was nice that Marie was hugging me behind me, but at this point, I couldn’t help but notice Marie’s gaze. I’ll see
you next time. Thank you. I had a promise! Even though he said something that made it seem like he was going to send Corin away at any moment, didn’t he give her a quick look?
“Did you have an appointment? There’s nothing I can do about it. Take care and see you next time.”
“Oh? huh? “Uh… that’s right…”
Isabelle saw. For a moment, the regret in Marie’s eyes.
How could it be?
Isabelle’s instinct warned her. This was it.
How could that first-year student be so adorable? He may have lured the cute second-year head wizard, but the hostility that arose due to his friend’s betrayal was directed entirely at the man. Even at first glance, he looked
like a wolf that would make many women cry.
His wild appearance was that of an alley gangster, and
his muscular body was that of a barbaric knight school gangster. The easy
-going and considerate behavior was replaced by an experienced swallow.
Isabelle stared at Marie with a mean look on her face, but Marie did not notice the intent of her gaze at all and just expressed regret as if she were disappointed. “See you again
… ….”
It was only when all the boys had left that the words I wanted to say rose up in my voice due to the shy shyness of finally saying hello.
“Marie.”
“Uh huh? Why?”
“Men… are all wolves. Keep that in mind.”
“Huh? Korindo?”
Oh, do you immediately think of someone there? Are you planning on hiding it?
“Wolf… Wolf… It’s a wonderful animal. Yes.”
The advice given in the hope that this oblivious and innocent girl would not make a hasty mistake backfired.
* * * *
I heard that the special dormitory that Marie is staying in is a building with a mix of Eastern Continent styles. Probably. It must be the dormitory that Hwaran is in.
I just hope that Marie, who entered a special dormitory without a single friend, gets along well with her only roommate.
“Hmm~”
After solving Marie’s case, my ability level increased significantly. 100 points. .. In terms of level, it’s like going up 20 in one go.
I earned 15 points while solving a few missions over the weekend, so I got 115 points.
In addition, my auror and magic rating, which are not enough with stats alone, went up one level.
Of course, stat distribution is efficient . It wasn’t like that, but maybe it was because I had eaten so many points that my body movements were incomparable to before.
Now, if I do this, I have a decent body. If I
raise my Auror level and consume at least the mandragago that is growing… Before the final boss battle in Act 2. You will be able to use Yukhap.
Considering that the only time I was able to use Yukhap in the previous episode was in the mid to late part, this is a tremendous development speed. In the
second act story that will begin from now on, my personal strength will also be very important, so I need to reach Sura quickly. ‘ Hehehe
, I have a Mandragora.’
As long as the three Mandragora brothers, who are growing up in the dormitory, grow up, boom!
‘This is the extent of personal training. We have to deal with the murderer of the city of fog and the king of Iron Mountain… and that traitor as well.’
The killer John Doe is the key to getting involved with Runia. Starting with this incident, Arisha grows into True Arisha.
Arisha Arden, who will be the key counter in the Act 2 story, learns to cut the area and fights ‘Swordsman Runia Arden’ and the Act 2 final boss. Because I have to catch the ‘King of Iron Mountain’.
And since I have to deal with the most annoying guy alone, I need to preserve my strength as much as possible on the King of Iron Mountain. Well,
this is still a long way off. If things go as they should be, Marie is a vampire. At this point, the ‘Murder Demon of the Fog City’ incident, which was the opportunity for my awakening, has not yet occurred. There
may well be cases where the affair is brought forward as before, so we should quickly prepare what we can immediately.
“Arisha, what on earth is this guy doing? “I don’t know.”
The gymnastics room, which was good for a few days at first, is nowhere to be seen these days. That guy
is a talented guy with a lack of practice and weak will. When will he truly hold the sword?
Knowing his talent and circumstances, for now I just wait.
