I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 60

[ Suspicious… (5) ]

“I don’t like it.”

“what?”

Ugh, you guy, the concept of a nobleman is ruined. Add the character ‘yo’.

“Hey junior…”

“This is not the academy, senior.”

“……what?”

“If we want to discuss upper and lower classes, Lord Blandria will have to follow my orders.”

“???”

For a moment, Levent frowned as if he didn’t understand what I was saying.

“What does that mean…”

“It means that I am a higher rank than Lord Blandria, who is a semi-first rank knight.”

“That’s nonsense…!”

When I implicitly revealed that I was a first-class knight, the Youngsiks became agitated.

“How can a first-year student become a first-class knight? A lie that will be discovered right away…”

“It’s not a lie.”

It was Marie who refuted Levent’s words.

“Corrin was promoted with me. I guarantee it.”

These are the words of Marie, the daughter of the Duke of Dunaref, who can be said to be the pinnacle of the South, and who became a semi-special mage when she was not even in her 20s.

Now no one can deny that I am a first-class knight.

“Even so…!”

Levent Blandria clings tenaciously, as if he hasn’t given up yet.

“Because Marie’s first dance is mine.”

I grabbed Marie’s shoulder and pulled her towards me. hook! And Marie came into my arms.

Now, how do you express this in social language?

I am close enough to Marie to call her without offense, and I am a person with whom it is okay to act like this. Yeah, that means you are the ones who need to be extinguished.

“Co coco coco corin…!”

I couldn’t hear Marie muttering in my arms. It may be embarrassing, but this will be over as quickly as possible, so just be patient.

He hugged Marie proudly and smiled victoriously at the bloodshot nobles.

Did the First Princess say that there was nothing more funny than a man’s jealous expression?

I thought she was a princess with a bad personality, but now that I look at it, it sounds quite plausible.

“Marie, will you have your first dance with me?”

“…Yes.”

Marie lowers her face. For now, I decided to get away from the masters.

“It’s very popular.”

“Ugh…”

“Was I a little violent? I’m sorry if I offended you.”

“Oh no! I actually liked it because it was powerful… It’s nothing!”

We exchange glances awkwardly. Maybe my behavior was a little embarrassing… I feel a little sorry. This time, let’s act politely and like a gentleman.

-side!

He kissed the back of her hand and encouraged her in a soft tone.

“Would you like to dance a tune with me, Lady?”

Hold out your hand and bow your head politely.

Marie stiffened for a moment, but soon burst into laughter and held my hand.

“Gladly.”

We walked out to the dance hall, holding hands.

The sound of footsteps echoing from transparent glass slippers. It is safe to say that the distance between Marie and I has disappeared.

We stopped in front of each other and looked. I feel everyone’s eyes are on us.

‘It’s dangerous…’

I’m starting to feel a little embarrassed by this too. I became anxious that my heartbeat would be heard.

Anyway, the music started and we stood in the center of the hall. People around them start dancing to the music.

Hold both of Marie’s hands and lead her tactfully.

In fact, even though it is a ballroom dance, I have only done it a few times, so I am not confident in it, but I still do the basics because I am using my body. The problem is…

-Kwajik!

“Um…”

“I’m sorry!”

Could it be that Marie, who is unexpectedly the flower of society, is bad at dancing? This is already the second time you are stepping on my steps. It hurts a lot because I’m shoehorned in.

“Ugh… I’m not good at dancing.”

When you see that the daughter of a rich family can’t dance, it seems she was born with it. Marie was coughing and sweating profusely.

As I consciously try not to step on my toes, the staff becomes stiff and their movements become staggered.

I whispered quietly in the ear of my partner, whose face was bright red, so that no one could hear.

“Put your left foot on mine. Dance like that.”

“Uh huh? Then…”

“Your feet will get a little dirty and your dancing will look a little unsightly.”

“That’s a bit…”

Marie briefly became aware of the gaze focused on her.

Even though she doesn’t need to pay attention to anyone, it seems like she can’t help but be conscious of how much attention is focused on her.

“You don’t have to worry about what others think. Right now, just look at me, my partner. All you have to do is enjoy dancing.”

Even when I was an MT in college, when I first went to a club, and when I came to this world and attended a social club.

Dancing is a pastime that I enjoy as long as I enjoy it. To be honest, I want to try b-boying here, but I did it in the previous episode and it made a big fuss, so I’m refraining from doing it.

In this era, rock and roll and b-boying were way ahead of their time.

I return it to Marie as I was once advised.

“Now, put your foot down and follow my movements. Marie-senpai has good eyesight. She looks at my eyes and reads the direction of my feet and the push and pull movements.”

I looked into her sparkling golden eyes.

His shaking eyes become intertwined with my gaze and regain stability, and at that moment, without anyone else starting, he starts laughing.

Marie spins with her improved staff to the beautiful melody of the orchestra. An arm boldly wraps around her waist and supports her.

Under the gorgeous lights of the banquet hall, she and I danced and shared a dream-like moment.

* * * *

After one song, we left the center of the dance hall.

As we let go of our joined hands, a cool breeze came in, indicating that we had been holding each other’s hands until just a moment ago.

Although we obviously had the stamina of a superhuman, we were breathing heavily and our body temperature was rising.

“Young lady! This time, come with me…!”

“No! Come with me…!”

The men rush at full speed without any time to cool down. Marie made an embarrassed expression and raised both arms as if she was sorry.

“I’m sorry. I’m really tired. I want to rest for a while.”

If it is a gentleman’s right to ask for a dance, it is only a lady’s right to accept it.

When Marie talked about taking a break, the men, who had no cause left, had to leave with regret.

“Shall we take you to the common room, my lady?”

“I would appreciate it, Sir Corrin.”

We went to Count Cassius and were given permission to tour the office we talked about earlier.

The Count seemed to be disappointed that his son couldn’t get involved with Marie, but he wasn’t in a position to say something he didn’t like.

As I left the banquet hall without hesitation, a sigh came from behind me.

“Ahh…”

“Lady Marie to such a bastard…”

Well, of course it was my curse for kidnapping Marie.

“Wow, did you see it?”

“Yes, I saw it.”

“Dancing with your feet stepped on… It’s romantic.”

“The gentleman’s consideration was wonderful. It was a clumsy but wonderful dance.”

“Did you see Lady Marie smiling brightly? This is probably clear, right?”

“I’m 99% sure.”

We headed straight to Duke Sevancia’s office.

* * * *

When I opened the office with the key I received from Count Cassius, an old-fashioned scene caught my eye.

An old desk made of oak wood and a bookshelf filled with old books. I heard that Count Cassius does not use this office and only preserves the original.

“This was the Duke of Sevancia’s office…”

Duke of Sevancia.

A general who ruled the continent 800 years ago. A hero of national salvation. A great person in history.

On Earth, would it be like a combination of Chungmugong and Sword Master Cheok Jun-kyung?

The castle and office that such a person actually used. It seems like it was a waste to clean it up, so they decided to preserve it in its original form.

This too may become famous as a tourist destination in a hundred years or so.

“Corrin, what should I find here?”

“Hmm, anything is fine. Let’s look for traces of Sebancia Duke.”

“huh!”

Marie and I started searching the office. I searched the bookshelf first and was able to find some familiar books.

「The Story of the Duke House」

“This is….”

An essay written by Cecilia Duke. In the game, it is the traces of his wife Ruina and daughter Cecilia that the player was searching for as part of Duke Sevancia’s quest.

If you take this to Duke Sevancia, the side quest will be completed.

Neither in the game nor in the previous episode did Sebancia Duke say, ‘Check the office.’

How long did you search the office like that? We threw ourselves on the sofa, sweating profusely.

“Ugh, I can’t find it!”

“It’s not easy.”

“Don’t you have any clues? I thought there was some kind of secret space or something.”

“Hmm…”

I searched the office without any results, but I found nothing. I know this because I tried it in the previous episode, but I don’t think anything will come out if I go further here.

“Ugh… I’m hungry.”

“Didn’t you eat anything at the banquet hall?”

“You came out right away… um Corrin?”

“why?”

“…….”

Marie’s eyes were a signal that formed naturally as we formed a relationship.

I loosened my tie and put it on top of the suit I had already thrown off, and Marie naturally stared at the back of my neck.

“It’s surprising, but Corinne has a nice neck and collarbones.”

“…Could you at least say it’s cool?”

“That’s cool too!”

“It might stink of sweat, but please bear with it.”

“It’s rather good… no, it’s okay!”

Marie hurriedly climbed onto my lap on the sofa.

“I… will do it?”

Marie carefully buried her face in the crook of my neck.

-The

feeling of sharp fangs digging into flesh. Soft lips meet around the nape of my neck.

-gulp! gulp! Haaa…….

──The sound of going down the throat and hot breath can be heard regularly. How long has it been like that?

Marie flinched as she opened her eyes and took a breath. But there are no signs of backing down. It seems like it’s not enough yet.

“────”

Blood flowing back from the blood vessels. At first, it gave me goosebumps because it felt like my life was being sucked away, but these days…

‘I feel like I’m sharing my life.’

Is it an effect of pain tolerance? After giving blood over and over again, there is no longer any pain.

-Ouch! Kuuk!

Marie, who was preoccupied with sucking blood, pressed her body.

As the blood is sucked out, the lowered body temperature seems to be replaced by the warmth of the skin touching it. The area touched increases and they become so close that their hearts touch.

“Whew…”

As my heart pumped and the new blood formed, I saw Marie, who was frantically sucking my blood.

“Gulp haa……”

What I can tell from the rough breathing is that Marie is mindlessly gorging on my blood without even breathing.

The heat felt as her flushed cheeks touch represents her satisfaction.

“Haaa……”

“Did you drink it all?”

“Yeah…”

Marie was drooping, making a gasping sound, probably because she drank too much.

Her chin rests on my shoulder and she takes a break like that.

We had a moment of silence without saying a word.

-Thump thump…!

The sound of each other’s hearts could be heard from their chests touching each other.

Apart from the pounding and pumping of my heart, Marie’s heart beats more frequently, albeit faintly.

Soon Marie, who had buried her face in the crook of my neck, stepped back. However, the expression on his face is still hazy, showing that the aftereffects of the bloodsucking act have not gone away.

After taking some time to calm down, Marie regained her senses.

“I’m sorry… I sucked too much, right?”

“It’s okay these days because the blood regenerates accordingly. It doesn’t hurt.”

“Ugh… I’m sorry. If I drink raw blood… my body doesn’t feel like my own either.”

“Oh, it’s okay. We just help each other.”

As I wiped away the blood stains on the nape of my neck, the hole began to slowly fill in with new flesh.

The persistent warrior’s regeneration began to regenerate my body.

“hmm?”

“Rebirth of a Tenacious Warrior”

“Soul Warrior”

Duke Sevancia’s Grimoire obtained from the secret library of the Great Library.

A thought crossed my mind for a moment. I suggest it to Marie.

“Let’s summon senior Deokgu.”

“Huh? Deokgu.”

Deok-gu takes shape in an instant in Marie’s shadow. A completely material being is closer to a monster than a demon spirit.

“Can you make Senior Deokgu’s summoning a little more blurry?”

“what do you mean?”

“Close to a spiritual body… the state before incarnating into a physical body.”

The descendants of vampires are originally spirits. It is closer to possessing a body composed of the owner’s blood and magical power. In other words, if boiling meat was possible, the reverse is also possible.

“Okay. Deok-gu, can you hold on for a moment?”

-Kung!

Deok-gu whined as if he didn’t like the state he was in when his body was destroyed, but soon his body began to break down and become closer to a spirit body.

Soon, it became invisible to my eyes, which did not recognize spirits. At that moment──

-Saaaaa!

A faint chill began to fill the office. It’s not like I can perceive this cold anymore.

“Compared to Marie-senpai…!?”

Before I could say anything, my vision reversed.

Shootaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!

A feeling of pressure pressing down on the body. A sticky reverberation of magical power. This…?

“Area?”

Inverted vision. When I opened my eyes, the space was filled with darkness everywhere.

“Ah, if it’s something like this, please explain.”

What was sealed in Grimoire of the Great Library was the spirit of Sevancia.

Unable to die and suffering from the vampiric impulse, what he chose was the separation of his body and spirit. He separated his soul and sealed it in a book.

So, a question arises here.

Duke Duke.

Great war hero.

The hero who was considered the strongest of his time even became a vampire.

He has become a being with a body that practically cannot die.

So where did the ‘body’ of the powerful vampire named Sevancia Duke go?

The answer was right in front of me.

“My soul was left behind for my daughter, but I don’t know how the wrong person came to visit with traces of my soul buried there.”

Long jet black hair and a heavy beard. A man wearing heavy armor showing off fresh blood stares at me.

“I ask you, visitor. What brought you to my castle?”
