I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 54
[Finishing (3)]
I won.
Permak Daman, who deceived the Merkava Academy for 10 years and continued his teaching career, was the shadow of the second act.
Did the players call the traitor Permak the Four Heavenly Kings?
「Save me!」
「I don’t want to die! “I don’t want to die!”
“Corin…! Help me!”
If I close my eyes, I can hear that scream.
When we encounter Permak Daman again, whom we missed in Act 2, we were trapped in a nightmarish world.
Shadow Demon . A hell called paradise where people run wild.
Many comrades have been lost.
Innocent people have died.
Permak Daman. The 4th leader of the strongest rune master, Tates Balthazar, who is trying to bring paradise to the evil king’s world.
This guy is caught early. Being able to kill him is a very big harvest.
With the backup of the precepts and the shadow paradise, the power of this guy has grown to a super level, and more than anything…
“As expected… isn’t there at this point?”
It pierced my heart . I rummaged through the body of the deceased to find an item, but I couldn’t find it. If it had been there, I would have used it a long time ago. The
four treasures guarded by druids. Palias’ Destiny Stone Lia Arm.
It was given to him for his contribution in retrieving the original. If there had been a treasure trove, my odds of winning would have dropped by 40%.
“…I found it.”
Still, I’m glad I was able to retrieve the primordial that he stole.
『Rune of the Primordial – ó』
This stone engraved on the new rune stone. It is one of the eight primals that can lead to the silver paradise ‘Erin’. This
is the paradise that Tates Balthazar, the final boss of [The Legend of the Arhan Heroes], is aiming for. To achieve that, it is necessary to retrieve all eight of these primals. “What is this?
” …….”
Did they kill that many people and die? Their anger and hatred towards the world… Well, I understand. But the method was wrong.
“Huh….”
As if throwing the body into dry land. I lay down.
Fighting while getting hit with the golden Mandragora’s roar and the rune of the sun while being hit alive was crazy even to me. Whether it’s a
Mandragora, a rune, or a sura, they all destroy the body. To be honest, if I hadn’t done it because I believed in regeneration, I would have done it a long time ago. I would have lost.
But thanks to that, I was able to secure the victory. Permak Daman, who was caught in my design, became impatient and had to hurry up the fight.
“Keuung…”
My eyelids are heavy.
Because of the rune of the sun, my upper body is tense. I threw it away and my left eardrum burst while carrying the golden mandragora. The right side isn’t normal either.
Even if I can just endure the pain, the problem is the wound I received from Permak.
It went straight through the liver and caved in all the way to the right shoulder blade… The solar plexus was hit directly, crushing the bones and twisting the internal organs.
The only thing that could barely move was the left arm and both legs… Even those were shaken by the feedback from Yukhap Sura.
‘I thought I was used to pain…’
No matter what, the pain that twists my internal organs is hard to bear.
Whoo… Whoo whoo… Whoo whoo…
I came to my senses, breathing properly in a state where it wouldn’t be strange if I disappeared at any time. If you lose your mind here, the rune stones and gold left behind…
[You have defeated Permak Daman. The rewards of the precepts are distributed.]
A message is visible in blurry vision. No, this isn’t important right now…
My vision blinks.
Eyelids gradually closing. It didn’t take long for me to lose consciousness.
* * * *
“…….”
When Corin came to his senses, he was somehow walking down a familiar path.
Of course, he doesn’t move arbitrarily. Because his mangled body was still bleeding.
“Arisha…”
I saw the hair in my blurred vision and recognized the girl with a dazed recognition.
“You’re awake…”
Alisha is walking down the street with Corin on her back. Probably on the way to the infirmary.
From a Confucian perspective, the skin color visible between the uniforms, which may seem a bit too revealing, is covered in gore.
Even though it must have felt uncomfortable, Alisha was bending over and carrying Corin with both hands.
“It’s hard…”
“Only Corin… will do it.”
The whole body still sends only a tingling sensation. Since he is a knight, having the physique of an adult man is no problem, but having a girl carry him on his back is a psychological burden.
“What about cleaning up after yourself?”
Still, I can’t refuse it. Let’s be honest and get help here.
“Professor Dana went to clean up after himself. Although he was in tears, Mr. Doron went back, and Mr. Yuel and the others looked for Mr. Corin.”
“Of course, that shit… it’s absurd…”
“I heard you shouldn’t ask for more since it’s a business relationship, right? I want you to pay off the balance of this matter by next week.”
“Huh…”
Corinne laughs, saying it’s like a guy. But it’s not the type I hate. Being moderately honest about your desires is a cute level for him.
“Arisha… by any chance…”
“You want me to make it rune stone and gold? I took good care of it.”
“…Are you a little more perceptive today?”
“Profit…! Corin is riding on my back. Should I shake him?”
“Hey, don’t do that… your intestines will shake too…”
Corin chuckles at the fact that he didn’t even say anything about throwing it away.
“Thanks to you… I survived.”
“It was nothing.”
Alicia smiles, puts Corin down and walks down the street. Corrin tried to stay conscious by opening his still blinking eyelids.
“Say something. I’ll fall asleep again like this.”
“…Just sleep. I’ll get you there soon.”
“No, if you sleep… your recovery also slows down.”
His regenerative power is based on ‘fighting spirit’. Literally ‘tenacious’. Being conscious is more advantageous for regeneration.
“Okay. Then… why did you fight alone?”
Alicia’s voice is unusually low. As if scolding Corinne.
“Because it was necessary.”
“…….”
At the ambiguous answer, Alisha slowed down for a moment. Perhaps because of the recoil, the fluttering hair touches my cheek.
“Honestly, I don’t know what Corin knows and what he’s trying to do.”
I put into words the question I’ve had all along. But I have no intention of asking such a big question.
“It’s okay if we fight together until the end.”
“Haha…”
Corin recalled the past with a wry smile. A time zone other than this time zone.
A literal hero who has good tendencies and sacrifices himself for the right cause is dangerous if you watch him from the side.
Everyone who stood by him expressed similar concerns.
Even when he willingly gave up his head to a girl who was awakened as a vampire, and when he took on a single challenge against a great evil that would not even be an opponent without the backup of the precepts.
He literally does not spare his body. Anyone watching from the side can easily notice such tendencies.
“I’m aware of it. Next time, I’ll ask for help.”
“You should. We… um… um…!”
While Alisha was hesitating to answer, Corinne, who had gained some strength, released her legs and let them touch the ground.
“Mr. Corrin?”
“That’s it. Hey… let’s rest on the bench.”
“As for treatment…”
“It’s better to rest in a cool place.”
“all right.”
Alisha’s voice is still weak, but after her firm words, she heads to a nearby bench and hugs him. Alisha hesitated as she looked down at Corinne lying on the bench.
“Alisha……”
“Oh yes?”
“My head hurts…”
“Hot…!”
Alisha quickly lifted Corin’s head and sat there herself.
Corinne takes a small breath as if she feels more comfortable only after her neck touches the soft thighs. He spoke carefully.
“If it weren’t for you… I wouldn’t have caught the King of Iron Mountain.”
“I only swung my sword once.”
“The result is just as important as how much action you take.”
“……Corrin-san, you were preparing for this fight in advance, right?”
When Alisha saw the traces in the vacant lot, she felt out of breath.
When we rented an empty lot to brew Mandragora decoction, or when we practiced spearmanship as a group project.
I remember carving runes in an open space whenever I had time.
Hundreds of runes engraved in the vacant lot… and stones engraved with runes entrusted to Marie.
“Yes. It’s true that we prepared in advance.”
“…….”
Don’t ask how you knew. Alisha quietly looked down at Corrin under her chest.
“……why?”
Time passes by, the sun is setting and the red sunset is burning. On this deserted bench, the setting sun illuminated Corin clearly.
Traces of heat reflected in vivid light. Even with burnt skin, the eyes are as clear as the setting sun.
‘It’s pretty.’
This person’s eyes are always clear. Eyes that are extremely clear and strong. It is an eye that pursues beautiful things even after dipping its feet in a puddle of blood.
Where does this person’s strength come from? Are all adults like this?
“My eyes…”
“I’ll cover them!”
“Okay… just. Let’s just stay like this for a moment.”
Perhaps because he sensed Alisha’s silent gaze, he spoke playfully.
“Wow… Thanks to our well-raised Arisha, she’s doing so well.”
“…You’re treating me like a child again.”
“When did you say you were like a mother?”
“It’s a metaphor. It’s a metaphor.”
“Hehe…”
In many ways, looking at a child with an innocent smile and a cute gaze is like the happy gaze of an adult watching a child.
“Ssi……”
Cock! He pinched the obnoxious boy’s nose with his finger.
“Ouch… Okay, okay. Oh, I’m hungry.”
The boy, who responded slyly, was in and out of a slumber, perhaps because he had lost too much blood. What I’m about to say now is probably something I spilled without thinking.
“It’s better for people to die less often.”
“All of a sudden?”
“Why are they so… insensitive?”
Was what he was thinking about the dark side of this incident? Or is it someone Alisha doesn’t know?
“Thank you for your hard work.”
“Okay… that’s good enough. Okay…”
Corinne closed her eyes as if she was tired and gave herself over completely. Alicia stayed on the bench like that for a while.

[You have defeated Permak Daman. The reward of the precepts is distributed.]
[Unspecified number]
※ Difficulty: A
※ Reward
– 60 points equally distributed
One-person ward in the infirmary. I confirmed the compensation gained from this incident.
“…….”
Something… salty.
Until now, the rewards earned through precepts were usually targeted to a specific target.
In the case of Mariena Alisha, we were able to obtain not only points but also characteristics.
But in the case of Permak, something is just right! Since it is not a person who is determined to kill someone, the result is that it is an unspecified number of people.
Still, it’s a bit salty considering I just kicked a high official…
[I defeated the world’s greatest evil. Bonus rewards are given.]
Huh?
[Sun of Findias]
“……What is this?”
Why is this here and
Pindias? Clau Solas, one of the four great treasures like Lia Pal, is the name of a hidden secret.
Four major treasures that are considered epic items. As far as I know, I thought all these secrets were passed on to Tates Baltesar.
In fact, it is the sun sword of Ohad, one of the four great executives. What I received as a reward now was a ‘map’ of the place where the sword was buried. That also stuck in my head.
‘No, Park Ga just threw it in my inventory and I just stuck it in my head as a memory.’
Do you discriminate against players?
Anyway… Is it during the solar eclipse that the historic site opens? I’ll find out later……
“Corin! I peeled all the apples and eat them!”
A cheerful voice that wakes me up from my thoughts. Marie, who had come to visit, smiled brightly and handed me an apple on a fork.
As befits his personality, he was carved in the shape of a rabbit. Unfortunately, I can’t move my arm because I’m wearing a cast on a shattered bone. I survived thanks to my regenerative ability, but I need to calm down?
“Ahhh~”
“Ah ahhh~”
– Crunch!
“Oh, you’re good~”
Marie patted my head after biting into an apple. Hmm… not bad. Ah, apples are delicious.
“…….”
“…….”
Likewise, the gazes of Jaeger and Lark, who came to visit the patient carrying a bag of snacks, were irreverent.
“Why? What? Why?”
“…You envious bastard.”
“I was worried for no reason.”
Are you jealous? uh? Are you jealous? Are you feeling like your whole body is shattered like me?
“Corrine, do you want to eat some peaches? I’ll cut them into delicious pieces for you!”
“Wow, what wouldn’t taste good if you eat it like this?”
Three days after the King of Cheolsan incident. Marie is taking care of me without going back to the dormitory.
“Corrin~! I came to visit you!”
-Park!
Alicia opens the door carelessly. In his hand is a dessert set that high school girls would like.
“Hey, open the door gently. You’ll get puckered.”
“Huh! I’ll be careful.”
“Ugh~ It’s nice to have a single room~”
The room is spacious and can accommodate a lot of guests. As I was setting up the dessert that Alisha brought, there was a knocking sound outside the window.
-Knock knock!
When I looked outside, Hwaran, dressed as a nun, was knocking on the window. This is the 13th floor…
“…Open the door.”
Alisha quickly runs over and opens the door. Hwaran naturally enters the hospital room.
“Hey, that’s not the entrance. There’s a normal door, but why do you keep coming in through the window?”
Whether I tackle him or not, Hwaran sits on the table! So, I put a flat fish on it.
“……A visitation gift?”
“Slice it.”
“…….”
8-character flatfish? Where did you get it?
“Later. Uh.”
“Eat what’s left.”
Let’s think of it as a sign of this guy’s goodwill. I guess so?
It must have been a long time coming together. We spent some time chatting and playing simple games. It was a confusing combination of flounder and cake fruit, but… kids at this age can chew steel.
-smart!
Jaeger opened the door, thinking it was a new visitor, but the people he had been waiting for appeared.
“Corin Locke. Are you feeling alright?”
Ms. Josephine Clara, senior professor at the Academy. And to be the Chairman of the Academy, he is a rather young man… with an appearance that would not be strange to call him a young man.
“Student Corrin.”
Chairman Eriu Casar. He visited me.
“A lot has happened while I was away. My heart skipped a beat when I received the report from Professor Clara.”
Well said. It’s not even a real body.
“Hello, Chairman.”
I officially welcomed ‘her’, the chairman of the Merkava Academy.
Let’s take a moment to clear our hands. Master.
