I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 63
[ Bat Effect (1) ]
“Whoa~! You’re so wet!”
It wasn’t the center of the typhoon, so we were able to detour, but because of the heavy rain, we had to get soaked before entering the academy.
“Welcome. You must have had a lot of trouble because of the typhoon.”
“Huh, Chairman? What about Professor Josephine?”
“She is returning with Hwaran. She was at the Zeon temple during vacation.”
At the entrance of the special dormitory, Director Eriu was waiting holding a towel. She… Master Erin handed me a large towel and I put it on Marie’s head.
“Wipe it first.”
“……huh.”
Master, who saw her handing Marie a towel, used space magic to travel somewhere and brought a new towel and handed it to her.
“Stay here tonight.”
“Oh, is that okay?”
“Because you are no longer an outcast in the first place. I plan to have you stay in this dormitory starting from the second semester.”
This may be the reason why some kind of surveillance is included.
Lady Josephine and Master Erin, who do not completely trust me, would have needed a means of surveillance.
“What on earth is that typhoon?”
“That’s right! It’s huge, isn’t it? I think the damage to the city will be significant. Are you going to be okay?”
Master sighs as he looks outside, hearing the sharp sound of a raging typhoon.
“First of all, the damage to the urban area is not serious. It is not the center of the typhoon. There will probably be damage only to some outlying areas.”
“Huh? If the typhoon moves, the city will be hit right away, right?”
“No, the typhoon won’t move.”
“yes?”
What does it mean that the typhoon is not moving? As far as I know, there is no magic that can stop a typhoon.
for a moment? Damage only to ‘some outlying areas’? Whether or not she felt cold by her Master’s words, she continued her explanation.
“That typhoon is not a natural phenomenon, but the work of a monster.”
Um… Master? What exactly do you mean by ‘some outlying areas’? no way? No, right?
* * * *
The main sea route of the Southern Archipelago, the Aegean Strait.
The Aegean Strait, used by numerous countries including the Kingdom of El Ras, has recently been troubled by the activities of the Sea Serpent.
This gigantic sea snake, over 60 meters long, is a first-class monster in name and reality. At some point, the noble king of the sea coiled up in the middle of the Aegean Strait.
This noble king went on a rampage as if he was okay with the human economic situation and began sinking trade ships that invaded his territory.
Count Cassio and other traders suffered great damage due to the unexpected appearance of this sea snake.
“Son… Is it really necessary for you to come forward?”
Count Cassius looked worriedly at his son, who was excitedly setting out to take down this sea serpent.
“Yes, father. If he succeeds in defeating a level 1 monster, he will be promoted to level 1 knight sooner.”
“I understand what you mean, but…”
My son had been impatient ever since he saw Lady Dunaref, the Queen of the South, at a party the other day.
Aside from falling in love with a beautiful woman, it also burns a competitive spirit towards someone.
This knight, who is talented enough to become a semi-first-class knight at the young age of 23 and has a bright future, is burning his competitive spirit against none other than his junior.
Even though he was only a first year student, he was a spearman who earned the rank of first-class knight, and a gangster named Jebi who was rumored to have had a hot secret affair with the dunaref family’s eldest daughter.
‘Marie…! ‘You are being fooled!’
Levent remembers clearly.
The rude man who touched the bare skin of the duke’s daughter, who was not yet engaged, without hesitation and hugged it as if it were his own.
I don’t know what kind of despicable method was used to lure the daughter, but Marie is being deceived!
To save her from the swallow’s clutches, she needed fame. I don’t know what tricks he used, but he is a first-class knight. At the very least, you also have to become level 1.
“Don’t worry, father. I will defeat the Sea Serpent and bring peace to the Straits.”
I will become the hero of the Aegean Strait and stand before her once again.
Levent Blandria set out to subdue the Sea Serpent with the battle fleet supported by his father and the association’s guardians.
………
……
…
In conclusion, this subjugation was a success.
Five battle ships, sixteen knights, five wizards. This large-scale subjugation battle involving 500 sailors was a success. ‘Half full’.
-Miyooooooooo!!
“Mr. Serpent is running away!”
“Wow…! It’s our victory!”
“Congratulations on your victory, Master!”
“Lady Marie… I dedicate this victory to you…!”
It’s unfortunate that we couldn’t catch the Sea Serpent, but we succeeded in driving it out of the Aegean Strait, and now the trade ships traveling through the strait will regain stability.
-Miyooooooooooooooo!
………….
…………
……
Now then, where did this runaway Mr. Serpent go?
“Kiik?”
Now here is a bat monster named Alban.
This giant bat, which can reach up to 30 meters with its wings spread, has two nicknames. First, we need to know the first nickname of this bat, ‘Typhoon Bat’.
Around June, they visit the Archipelago Sea to breed, and to avoid predators, they build a nest on a small island in the Archipelago Sea.
Now here’s the reason why they are called typhoon bats.
Male typhoon bats that have entered the breeding season consume the spiritual material they have accumulated throughout their lives to become the nucleus of a typhoon, blocking the approach of predators and having the first and final breeding time.
This typhoon lasts as long as the Alban bat that caused the typhoon is alive and usually lasts until September, when it gives birth to its young.
-Miyooooooooooo!
Mr. Serpent, who was running away from the punitive force, intrudes into the hot youth drama of the bats that are burning the youth.
Ah, unfortunately, Sea Serpent, a first-class giant monster, was one of the very few sea monsters that could enter through Alban’s typhoon…
-Keeeeeeeeeeee?!
Just as they were having a great time on the large stone island, the male was bitten and dragged away by an unexpected attacker.
-Keeeeeeeeee…!
-Keeeeee!!
A female Alban screaming as she sees the male being dragged by the Sea Serpent. Alban, who lost his mate, had to leave the island of breeding with a sad sound.
To safely give birth to the baby that is still growing inside the womb.
North to North. The female Alban began her difficult flight.
They were chased by a wyvern squadron looking for a boy, changed their flight path, and tried
to snatch a cow that was harvesting corn, but were reversed because they were unable to lift a cow of the Aumdura breed that weighed over 70 tons….
It was flying in a mess . The place where Alban landed is on the road near Merkava City. Rather than settling down, it’s closer to spreading with all its might.
Lastly… I said that Alban, a semi-first-class monster, has two nicknames.
The typhoon bat is called because of the typhoon it causes by consuming its own life and body. And… the golden bat.
A fantasy monster whose blood, bone, and flesh all become elixirs. That sweet blood and flesh are the supreme ingredients that attract even the same monsters.
All kinds of monsters flocked to eat Alban, who had landed on the ground, and
the maternal love of Alban, a female who was trying to safely give birth to a baby, put up desperate resistance and
she became the nucleus of a typhoon in order to give birth to a baby even if she had to die.
As a result, a huge typhoon occurred in the eastern part of Merkava City, sweeping everything away.
“…….”
The spearman boy, who had received this strange karma that was not karma, was dumbfounded by the typhoon in front of him.
* * * *
I was fucked.
Now I am judging the situation very rationally and objectively.
Objectively, I was screwed.
“Ha…”
Typhoon bats… Typhoon bats…!
Who could have predicted this! Typhoon Bat!
That rare species! Aren’t they the ones that can’t even be seen on the mainland because they breed wildly on small stone islands in the Dadohae Sea in the summer? Why is that guy here?
Yeah I know… I know! I guess I did something strange again! It must have come back as the flap of its wings became a typhoon! Physically, it was a real typhoon!
I can’t even imagine it, but the problem was a bat baby that was violently blowing up a typhoon right in front of my eyes.
And my inn, which is currently under construction in the ‘outskirts’ of the typhoon caused by that bat cub, is on the verge of being hit!
“We’re just evacuating. We can’t work here anymore!”
“Oh no, the completion date is just around the corner, so if you leave now…!”
“You said the typhoon keeps getting bigger! Everyone is going to die during construction!”
“Boss! Boss, wait a minute!”
“You should give up on this place too! There are days like this in life!”
I couldn’t bear to catch the carpenters leaving and made a dumbfounded look on my face.
The typhoon caused by Typhoon Bat not only completely engulfed the area near Merkava City, but also gradually increased in size.
It may be that they are squeezing out more strength to protect the cub that is about to give birth.
The problem is that in front of the typhoon, there is an inn site that I am building to absorb the demand for festival lodging.
Above all, if the typhoon continues like this… there is a high possibility that the festival will be canceled or scaled down.
Right now, the question is whether or not the damaged roads will be able to be repaired in time for the peak festival schedule in October.
In other words, as the typhoon continues, the number of tourists visiting Merkava City will decrease exponentially, and in the worst case, the festival itself may be halted.
What I’m sure of right now is that within the next week, an extended typhoon will blow away all my inns!
The cost to purchase the land was 280 gold coins.
330 total construction costs were spent on purchasing materials and manpower… 220 more were scheduled to be spent until completion.
For reference, I only have 110 gold coins. remain? It’s all borrowed!!
If your business fails, you will have to cough up 720 gold coins!
“I’m fucked. I’m fucked…”
I felt like I was thrown onto Mars alone.
* * * *
An emergency meeting was held at the Merkava Academy.
The chairman of the board, Erio Casar, gathered a small number of professors and several students stationed at the academy.
“Everyone is here.”
Senior Professor Harman Welsch of the Department of Knight Studies.
Professor Dana Arienne recently had his salary cut due to a terrible lab failure.
Augen Rentry, a new professor in the second year of the Department of Knight Studies.
Professor Edgar Linton is in charge of career counseling for fourth-year students in the Department of Magic.
Professor Rulara Mas is in charge of the 1st and 2nd year pension class, a common class for all grades.
One characteristic of these people is that they are outstanding people who worked as active guardians before taking up teaching positions. And it wasn’t just professors.
Like Marie, there were many students who returned earlier than the start of school or who stayed behind instead of going back to their hometowns.
“Huh……”
And among them, there was a rising star who was a rare first year. Even Corin Locke.
All senior guardians remaining in the academy, regardless of professors and students, were summoned.
“I’m sure you can all guess why you were called to the meeting. It’s because of Typhoon Bat Alban.”
“I… is this also a subjugation?”
Professor Dana cautiously raised his hand. Professor Harman yells at her before she can even express her opinion.
“Of course it’s subjugation!”
“I am against it.”
“What?”
Professor Harman’s harsh gaze turned to Professor Edgar.
Professor Edgar, who worked as a magistrate before becoming a professor, is a martial artist who personally executes superhuman criminals. That’s why he expressed an unexpected opinion.
“The typhoon will stop in a month. There is no need to take risks.”
“Professor Edgar. What is the basis for that opinion?”
It was Professor Rurara who asked in a strained voice.
“Alban individuals usually begin their breeding season in early June. If breeding is successful, they give birth between early and mid-September.” ”
That quickly?”
“Among albanian mammals, they are famous for repeating short-term fertilization and childbirth. There are many cases of premature birth or being eaten.”
“In short, this typhoon will end in a month at most, right?” ”
That’s right.”
“Hmm, then there’s no need to take any risks. “I vote to maintain the status quo~”
“Still, I think we should at least try to subdue it.”
Professor Ogen, who was listening calmly, said something.
“The students’ return will be delayed, and the festival schedule will be disrupted. Above all, the outside world may think that our academy is trying to protect itself.” ”
Oh, Professor Augen. Our academy is an educational institution after all. In essence, subduing monsters is the association’s responsibility. It looks like he hasn’t lost his cool since he was just appointed as a professor.”
“Hmm…”
A senior professor and a new professor in the Department of Engineers. An amazing balance between the two mid-career professors. Their eyes naturally turned to Dana. He turned to the professor.
“Uh… well, wouldn’t it be a good idea to try subjugation…? Because it’s a golden bat…”
The words “The by-product is a very expensive monster” couldn’t come out of Professor Dana’s mouth.
“Professor Dana. You don’t mean to take risks because of the recent tight economic situation, right? And by involving co-workers and students? For such greedy reasons?”
“I didn’t think about that?!!”
Professor Dana blurted out her words as if she had hit the nail on the head. She reluctantly made the choice to maintain the status quo.
‘Isn’t this going on strangely?! ‘
On the other hand, the person who was annoyed by the professors’ conversation was Corin Locke. He is a person who must subdue Alban as soon as possible and aim for normalcy. The
money at stake in this situation exceeds 700 gold coins. Of course, he will pay Corin Locke that much. There is no room for it.
In other words, it is on the verge of bankruptcy
. There were ‘economic reasons’ that are incomparable to Professor Dana’s, whose salary was cut due to the King of Iron Mountain incident. ‘If you
see Professor Dana being criticized right away, he will immediately go out if he makes money. .. We have to somehow turn this situation around!’
Corin took action right away.
“Professors!”
“Corin, a student?”
Corin slammed the desk and stood up. The professors’ attention was focused on his sudden behavior.
“That Corin Locke…! Even though I lack knowledge, I would like to say something to the ‘seniors’!” Seniors
. Well, what you said was not wrong. The professors are also from Merkava Academy and the same Guardian.
“We made an oath! We will courageously realize good and justice! I will not give up my beliefs in the face of death! I will protect the weak and defeat evil enemies!”
“Uh… the informal oath you make when you receive that guardian card…”
“Senior Dana! You must have sworn the same oath as me!”
Corin first attacked Professor Dana, who had become a half-forced opponent of subjugation. In short, it was to give him a cause.
“Who are we? It’s Guardian! Everyone here has formally sworn by the Association and the Royal Family to become the protectors of humanity!”
“Is that right?”
“Student Corrin. I understand the fierceness, but it is better not to subjugate this time…”
“Senior Edgar! How can you say that?”
“Hmm?”
“Can’t you see the victims wandering the streets who lost their homes due to the effects of that typhoon? Can’t you see the people who will lose their jobs and end up on the streets? Can’t you see the children who lost their homes and are starving?”
“I know what you’re trying to say, but the damage to the city isn’t serious and the casualties aren’t that great…” ”
The children are starving…!! How can you say such a thing? Ah!!”
“No, the number of victims is not even a few people…”
“Life cannot be calculated in money! Each and every one of them is a precious citizen! Why would you abandon them?”
“My me? Me?”
“Even in front of them, we abandoned you for profit…! Would the professor be able to understand that even if it were those children?”
Hehehe! Corin was even shedding tears now. The high stakes of those tears were her inn, which would soon be blown away.
“I can’t sleep well when I think of the poor children who are still suffering and looking for their parents! ”
“Oh…”
“Do you have such a sincere friend?”
“You are a model of chivalry.”
Professor Harman and Professor Augen admire. Unlike cool-headed and calculating wizards, knights who revere chivalry are like this. “I have an uncle named Ben .
The last name is Parker, and it’s not actually from my father’s family, so why does everyone have it? An uncle with a bulging belly and a grin.”
Corin doesn’t have an uncle like that. It’s a creation.
“This is what he said about me when I told him I was going to enter this academy to become a knight.”
Load of plagiarized quotes . “ With
great power! It comes with great responsibility…!!”
“Hmm?”
“Oh…”
“Such wonderful words…”
Corin continued to talk enthusiastically, slowly looking around at the audience focused on him. .
“It’s Corin Locke! Follow Uncle Ben’s advice and take the Guardian’s Oath! We are willing to fight for our suffering citizens! I believe you will join us…!!”
“That’s right! “This is a very spirited friend!”
“As expected of a knight, he’s very brave!”
Professors Harmon and Ogen, who were in favor of subjugation, said this was the right time and gave weight to Corin’s words.
Not only because they shared the same opinion . No. Professor Harman and Professor Augen were deeply moved by Corin’s passionate speech.
‘As expected, I’m good at people!’
‘Such a passionate knight at such a young age…!’
And that happened cautiously even in the opposition:
“Kokorin is right. Because the life of each citizen is precious. Ah, the oath I made when I was appointed Guardian…”
Professor Dana, who wanted to take care of the by-products of Alban, also known as the Golden Bat, got the justification and turned to the pro-choice faction.
Then, Professor Edgar, the core of the opposition faction, fixed his glasses and said, I tried to prepare with reason and logic, but emotions are not something that can be calculated.
“And even if this isn’t something grand like chivalry or the guardian’s oath…” The corner
of Corin’s eyes. I even got a little teary-eyed. It was an acting performance worthy of an Academy Award for Best Actor.
“I want to save people. The people in front of you. So… let’s save the people. Yes? Marie-senior.”
“Huh?”
Corin asked Marie, who probably had the strongest ability and voice among the students, for agreement.
“Uh… I guess it’s okay if I just wait? I have to take care of the accommodation and groceries separately…”
“To Marie-senior…! The children’s homes are disappearing…!”
“That’s right? Oh, it’s important! The house is…!”
Marie was a little distressed, but in the end, she was like a sunflower who would die if Corin Locke said anything.
“Now that I think about it, I think Corin’s words were a hundred times true.”
“Umm….”
No way! I never would have thought that even the Ace of the Magic Department, who was the embodiment of reason and logic, would make the same emotional argument.
Professor Edgar was about to refute something, but he gave up what he was trying to say when he saw Professor Rulara wiping away tears with a handkerchief next to him. What
more can I object to here? If I do that, I will be the only one who becomes a bad person. In fact, Corin has been steadily preparing to criticize Professor Edgar for being cold-blooded and accusing him of being cold-blooded. -Ah! Empathy…
!
“That’s right! Corin student! No, junior Corin opened my eyes!”
“Hehe, you’re a very smart friend! This is what chivalry is like!”
“I think we’ve reached a conclusion.”
Director Eriu, who was watching all of these skits, gathered the opinions of the professors and students.
‘The inn! I have to save my inn!’
The boy who was on the verge of bankruptcy was very desperate.
