I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 38
[You can copy! (1) ]
Isabel Kirmin, a second-year student in the Faculty of Magic, has been deeply troubled recently.
It’s been a couple of months since the uproar about my best friend Marie’s awakening to becoming a vampire.
Regardless of the fact that it caused quite a stir, it didn’t take long for Marie to naturally blend in with her classmates.
“Do you eat Marie?”
“Huh?”
Lunch hour. Marie was sucking blood from a large pack like it was juice.
“Blood donation pack today too?”
“huh.”
“If you want to drink raw blood, can I give you the back of your neck?”
“Hmm, Ruina can’t be skinny! I think someone with a bit more flesh would be better!”
“Oh look at the kid! Oh hoho!”
It got to the point where I was making jokes about blood with my classmates.
“Ma Marie!”
“Huh? Kane?”
Kane, a second-year student in the Department of Knight Studies, suddenly approaches Marie and starts wiggling around.
The boy with messy hair, whose innocence is obvious to everyone, is so famous that everyone knows it except Marie.
“Well… there’s blood! Since I donated blood yesterday, I brought a pack with me!”
Kane hands over his blood donation pack in a solemn manner, as if he were handing over a love letter.
‘Wow, that head.’
Maybe I thought it was a romantic gift?
“Hmm…”
Marie shook her head with a troubled expression, probably thinking that no matter how much she became a vampire, receiving her classmate’s blood was nonsense.
“It’s okay. I receive blood donation packs regularly from Professor Josephine.”
“Really? Then I’ll give you at least the back of my neck…!”
‘That idiot! ‘A top body!’
Since Marie became a vampire, Kane has been reading books and novels related to vampires, and it seems like he has developed a strange common sense.
Do you think Marie would be happy to accept it if I gave her the back of her neck?
“are you okay!”
“Huh? Marie?”
“It’s dangerous to suck blood directly from a person! A blood donation pack is enough to fill your stomach!”
Saying that, Marie left the classroom. Criticism of Kane poured in from all over for creating an awkward atmosphere.
“Ha… he’s a real idiot.”
“You don’t think about Marie at all?”
“Oh no, I…!”
“There is no consideration. There is no consideration.”
I chased after Marie, who left behind Kane.
Isabelle, who had the experience of having Marie’s blood sucked from her, remembers how sad Marie was and how she cried while sucking human blood.
I hoped my friend wasn’t hurt and ran after him to at least comfort him…
“Corin?”
“Senior Marie? Is class over?”
“huh.”
Corridors on the same floor. I witnessed Marie encounter someone.
‘Who is that guy?’
Corin Locke.
He is a first-year student of note who has been hanging around Marie recently.
The first time I met Corin was in the team room. The weakest freshman, who was judged to be level 5, attracted attention by showing a reckless act of catching a spirit body.
After that, he began to reveal his presence often, and Marie was noticeably aware of him.
The opponent is Naburangi, a level 5 knight. However, he became a hot topic after competing against the swordsman Runia Arden in a close match during the midterm exam.
Substantive evaluation is at least level 1. There is also a rumor that the professors of the Department of Engineers are preparing to re-evaluate the grade of Corin, who has shown exceptional skills.
It is clear that he has skills beyond the grade given to him. However, Isabelle was very concerned about Corinne.
“Senpai Marie, would you like some blood?”
“I…!”
There was another body like Kane over there! That said, Marie is right! Do you think I’m going to bite your neck? What are the ideas of adolescent boys?
“Do you want him?”
It works?!
Soon the two went to a corner of the classroom and locked the door.
…………
You locked the door?!
Isabelle rushed to the classroom where the two were entering, pricking up her ears.
──────
My best friend’s dirty noises and the tension that flowed out from within…
“That’s right, Senpai. Have you thought about the suggestion you made last time?”
“Hmm?”
My best friend’s somewhat hazy voice was not in a situation where I could tell the difference between the two sides.
“This is the land we purchased when we registered the dojo last time. Since it was destroyed and being rebuilt, we are planning to build an inn.”
“No filtration?”
“Yes, how about investing at least once? The more ammunition the better.”
“Should I do it?”
“I guarantee that your profits will be tripled. It’s very certain.”
Anyone can see that it’s a scammer scamming people! Guaranteed triple profits? There’s no way I could fall for such a ridiculous scam──
“Hmm… How much do you need?”
Are you passing?!
Stop it, Marie! You are being fooled! This is the typical example of a wife who falls in love with a man and ruins the family!
Isabelle could not help but be astonished by her friend’s innocence. However, as soon as the two people seemed to come out, they quickly hid at the end of the hallway.
“Haa……”
The two people left the classroom looking disheveled. Marie is breathing heavily, unable to hide her flushed face.
“The money you need… just write it on a check and withdraw it…”
“Very good. Hahaha.”
my friend! I was bitten by a swallow!
A first-year freshman pierced his friend’s nose! This shocking fact did not end here.
It was just as I was coming out of the magic training room.
“Mr. Corrin!”
“I’m telling you not to talk.”
“Oh, that’s a bit… embarrassing.”
“Wow.”
“Are you practicing today too?
“Basic physical strength training.”
“You’re sincere.”
“Basics are important in everything.”
“I’ll do the same.”
What is this? Who is she again?
Isabelle knew the identity of that girl.
Alisha Aden. That girl. Isn’t she the granddaughter of the famous swordsman Garland Arden?
The younger sister of the swordsman Runia Arden, who was recently a guest lecturer for the midterm exam! I heard that she even caught a violent criminal, John Doe, recently.
“Why such a great big man…”
John Doe It was Isabelle who did not know anything about Corin Locke or the party members who were only briefly mentioned in the subjugation.
“Oh, you’re Isabelle? Practice?”
At that time, a classmate from the knight department recognized Isabelle in the gymnasium. She was drenched in sweat, so she must have come out to rest for a while.
“Yeri. Do you know that first year student?”
“First year? Ah, Lady Aden?”
“No, the man.”
“Corin Locke? You know.”
“You know?”
Is he very famous? Well, he had such a famous match against the swordsman Ruina…
“She’s famous for her self-righteousness. So much so that it is said that 16 out of 24 hours are spent on training.” ”
Is that much?”
“It would be difficult to find a person in the Knights’ Department who doesn’t know Corin Locke. You know Old Man Harmon, right? That old man gives me food tickets almost regularly.” ”
That bratty old man?”
Anyone who attends this academy knows Old Man Harmon’s notoriety.
His standards for rewards and punishments were clear, but he rewarded those who worked hard and those who were lazy. A meal ticket
was the greatest favor he could express, and even among the second years, one or two people only received the favor of a meal ticket.
“You know what? I heard you got a ticket to the Holy Panda downtown last time?”
That place that sells gimbap for one and a half silver coins?!
Isn’t this the dream date spot for campus couples in the Academy? Wait?
“Isabelle! Is this any good? It’s a dress tailored for the winter ball. “Is it a little tight? It’s a little tight around the chest, but isn’t it really pretty?” “Didn’t
you say that it was a gift from your younger siblings? Why are you taking out that dress all of a sudden?”
“Hmm…! I have an opportunity to go to a restaurant where I need to be a little formal. !」
「Wow~ Is this family work?」
「That’s right? Strictly speaking?」
「Where is the restaurant? Because fine restaurants have different themes.」
「You know it’s Holly Panda?」
Isabelle couldn’t control her trembling hands. I couldn’t do it. No way? No way? As
Isabelle recalled Marie’s shocking weekend date, which she had been telling off as household chores, she heard a voice she couldn’t ignore.
“That’s right, Alisha. Are you free on the weekend?”
“Are you free?”
“Uh. This time, I got a ticket to a restaurant from old man Harmon. It’s called Tangerine Steakhouse.”
“Wow…! That legendary high-end steak chain?”
“Is it even a legend? “It’s a chain store.”
“I couldn’t even look around because there’s no branch where the main branch is.”
“Uh. You should eat some meat. A knight originally fights with the power of meat.”
“I completely agree!”
“I’ll give you a ticket, so you and your friend can come eat.”
If you look at this point, you would have thought it was an ordinary favor.
“Is it okay…? Then, what about Corin?”
“I’ve eaten a lot, so I’m fine.”
“Would you like to go with me?!”
What do you mean?
Isabelle focused her eyes on Alisha.
Even after speaking to herself, she was wiggling her fingers and looking embarrassed. It looks like he realized that he was suggesting something similar to a date.
Damn it! Corinne Locke! He’s had two women in just two months?
“I don’t mind.”
“Really?”
What are you doing when Marie is here?!
“right. How much money have you saved?”
“Money? Umm… it’s not much.”
“You know we received a reward. I’m saying this because I’m you… The investment I mentioned before–”
Oh my god. Isabelle realized that this was what it was like to be suffocated.
Not only was that swallow not only holding Marie, but she was also reaching out to the second daughter of the Arden family with her evil spell!
Poor. It was an offer with the feeling that she should at least pay for a side dish to her classmate, but there is no way that Isabelle knew about Alisha’s non-payment of activity support funds and her poor life due to her income in the 10th percentile. Isabelle’s astonishment did not end there. She headed to the restaurant to get some food
. Again, Corinne Locke was seen talking to a girl.
“Bob.”
“…Did you leave food to me?”
A first-year girl dressed in a nun’s uniform reminiscent of a straitjacket. Because of that outfit, older students were attracted to her. It was Hwaran, a first-class knight who was famous among people.
I still remember him because he was the first-year student who hurt Marie during the hunting ground training.
“…Sushi.”
“The stuff I ate last weekend was delicious, right?”
-Nods I
’m afraid. Corin Locke. How many women have you lured with food!?
They say that humans first let down their guard through food. Could it be that they used that as bait to approach carefully?
“If you don’t mind grilling, why don’t you go to the restaurant on Central Street with me? ”
“Yes.”
Walking calmly with Hwaran seems quite familiar.
Is there Marie? Is
there Arisha?
I’m scared at this point, Corin Locke. How many girls have been captured by that witch?
“That’s right, do you have any money? ”
“??”
“I have an amazing investment opportunity.”
“…Do whatever you want.”
I’m afraid! Corin Locke!!
After that, when Corin Locke was studying in the library with a druid girl, he also secretly recommended investment to boys and classmates who were famous as mercenaries.
Isabelle saw these images and became convinced that it was some kind of coincidence and fate.
Corin Locke is planning a huge scam!
* * * *
Two weeks have already passed since the incident between Alisha and Runia ended.
In early May, when the spring breeze was still blowing pleasantly, I had left the academy grounds and was on the outskirts of the city.
An abandoned dojo that was purchased with money borrowed from Marie in order to create an excuse to challenge Runia and Ogum.
A total of 97 gold coins were used to cover the corporate registration fee, 5 gold coins, roughly remodeling the existing gym into a dojo, hiring mercenary daily instructors, and tax processing.
In Korean Won, it’s roughly close to 100 million won, and it all came out of Marie’s pocket. It’s something to be grateful for.
I never thought I would lend you 100 gold coins by headbutting them in cash… Do wizards make money this well? I thought so.
Anyway, thanks to the friendly sparring between Alisha and Runia, the building was completely destroyed. So, I am investing in this land based on the 50 gold coins that Runia gave me to build a new building.
First of all, a total of 110 gold coins were paid to Arisha and me as a bounty for defeating John Doe, the murderous spirit of Fog City.
I turned my debt to Marie into investments and raised some investment money from friends I knew.
What was surprising was that Hwaran and Yuel also had more money than expected.
Hwaran had quite a bit of property under management in Shingyo, and Yuel also had a lot of assets at his disposal, perhaps thanks to the fact that he had brought in various things from the forest.
Lark and Jaeger also believed what I said and invested heavily at the student level. In particular, Doron was a huge hit. Who would have thought he had that much money…
550 gold coins were collected. I bought up all the land around here.
This land was originally purchased by a construction company to build houses, but became a bad inventory when the construction company went bankrupt during construction.
Because the location is ambiguous, we plan to purchase land that has been neglected without anyone purchasing it, build a nice building, and use it as a minimal inn facility.
Why am I doing this? Of course, this is because we know information about the future.
Friendly exchange festival with Boramae Academy in the Eastern Continent in the second semester. Tourists from all over the continent flock to see the grand event.
This is the peak season for the lodging industry, where demand is starting to decline and even ordinary homes are accepting guests as bed and breakfasts!
Of course, people are aiming for a big hit and the cost of lodging is going to skyrocket.
Hundreds of gold coins? You’ll get it back in 2 weeks! It’s not just this. If you leave a few small stores nearby, they will scoop up the money.
You can make a lot of money just by buying cheap beef and pork and selling it on skewers!
Investment money? You can earn that through festivals!
demand? The festival provides that too.
I am invincible.
The festival is “God”.
“Hahahahaha…! Money can be copied!!”
Now, in just a few days, Mandragor will be harvested. Everything went smoothly.
