I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 66
[Festival Eve (1)]
Merkava City is where the Guardian Academy resides and is safer from the dangers of monsters than any other city.
Safety soon attracted people, and the increased population led the city to prosperity, but not everyone necessarily benefited from the prosperity.
Back alleys everywhere. The entities that rule this lawless area are gangs.
Black Star faction.
A gang is growing in power in the back alleys, where violence occurs every day.
Their main sources of income were slaves and illegal bootlegging. No one cares what’s in this cheap moonshine.
Of course, there were those who complained about the cheap taste of the drink, but who cared?
The Black Star gang member residing at the bar took care of cleaning up such idiots.
“Aaaahhh…!”
But this time was a little different.
“Bring me a drink, suuuuul…!”
“Kyaaaaah…!”
“Oh my, it’s Sonnie……”
The store owner runs towards me in a panic. He was helpless even though Lenya, a clerk, was being caught and harassed by a drunk man.
“You idiot! Did you bring this as alcohol?”
The drunken man who is making a fuss is too old to be a boy, but a little too young to be a young man… a man with a subtle look.
The reason I can’t touch him is because he is a student at Merkava Academy.
There is no separate school uniform, but isn’t he a superman just by blowing away muscular giants with one hand?
No matter how much you bulk up, you cannot deal with even a level 5 knight, which is a correlation to the power of this era.
‘shit! What on earth are the Black Stars doing? On the subject of receiving protection money!’
This bar is protected by purchasing moonshine from the Black Star faction and paying a protection tax.
The protection fee and business relationship in the back alleys is one that relies on violence rather than rationality, but since the store owner is paying a high protection tax anyway, the Black Star faction must also take action.
“What kind of bastard goes on a rampage in someone else’s bar?”
‘Here we come!’
The executive of the Black Wave who did not hesitate to swear by the dog. Redhead Dixon! Although he is not an official guardian, he is a former free knight who wandered around as a mercenary!
Moreover, Dixon’s older brother, Luger the Crazy Dog, and Ricky, the son of the boss of the Black Star faction, came as if they had heard that the other party was a student at the academy!
“Ugh? What is it?”
The pony-haired student glanced at Brother Luger with a curly pronunciation. Behind them, dozens of members of the Black Star faction were lined up menacingly.
“When you say something nice, don’t do it in someone else’s workplace──”
“Oh, shut up. Men should be careful when they speak harshly.”
A boy who ignores the words of the Black Star gang members and hugs the clerk Lenya even more roughly. He is an unstoppable drunken sexual harasser.
“……This bastard.”
Leaving the Luger brothers frowning grimly behind, the boss’s son Ricky stepped forward, lighting a cigar.
“Are you an academy student? Are minors used when they come to a place like this?”
“What are you again?”
“Ricky Johnson. The next boss of the Black Star Sect.”
“Oh really?”
“Kid, if you’ve finished drinking, just go. Instead, I’ll pay for today’s drinks…”
-Grrr!
It happened in an instant. The boy, who was drunk, suddenly picked up a bottle of alcohol and sprayed it on Ricky.
The flowing moonshine soaked Ricky’s waxed head and even extinguished his cigar.
“Brother tongue!”
“You bastard…!”
chuck! The raised hand gesture stops his subordinates.
The only person in this room who kept his cool was Ricky. But it wasn’t long before the snarling beast roared.
“There are a lot of guys like you. I’ve seen a lot of guys who claim to be knights.”
Ricky wipes himself off with the towel given to him by his subordinate and lights his cigar again. At his glance, Brother Dixon stepped forward.
-Wheeing…!
Swinging long swords and spears. The boy’s expression changed when he realized that this was a unique reaction to the knight’s magic power. The opponent was a knight.
Ricky enjoyed the transformation with an evil twisted gaze.
“These guys are crazy hunting dogs that ran rampant in the North. They are infamous slave hunters called the Red Mad Dogs. Not even a single student—”
-Kwajik!
-Bubbuk!
“uh?”
It happened in an instant. The boy, who was so drunk that he couldn’t control himself, smashed Luger and Dixon with his bare body.
Because it was strengthened with Sura, Riki could not even see the process.
“I’m listening. Keep talking.”
“…How shall I serve you, brother?
” “There is no need to serve him. Because today is your memorial day.”
“Brother Tongue?”
One night. It didn’t even take until the sun rose in the morning for the Black Star faction, which boasted of 100 members, to be destroyed. * * *
*
In the game, mafias and gangsters are basically petty mobs that give experience points . It is absurd to destroy a third-rate evil organization during the quest.
Even in the previous episode, which became reality, this did not change much, so if the gangsters I destroyed over the past three years were lined up in two rows, it would fill about 25 laps of the playground. Of course, I destroyed one gang
. Even if I say it, the deep darkness of the slum will not disappear.
“Are you here?”
“Yes, yes, brother!”
After making the boss of the Black Star faction eat only porridge for the rest of his life, Ricky is extremely afraid of me for destroying his father. I was guided to an underground warehouse in a slum.
A damp and poorly ventilated underground warehouse. I’m still not used to the thick moisture and the foul smell.
“You live by putting people in a place like this, you little bastards.”
-Ahh!
I’m going to hit you on the back of the head . Reporter Ricky was trembling like an aspen tree and kept shouting,
“I’m sorry, but what are you?”
“Brother Ricky?”
The guards we met along the way gave up on him. I’m a good guy, but I’m not at the point where I’ll give in to bad guys.
“This way!” When
Ricky opens the door to the underground warehouse, numerous cages appear. The cages are so dirty that anyone would think they are smuggling out animals. Of course, they are dealing with people,
not animals. That’s also ‘Mine’.
“Open.”
“Yes?”
“Open everything.”
“Then we’re ruined!” “We’re
already ruined, you idiot.”
Ricky, who was extremely frightened, opened the locks of the cages one by one. Someone comes out of the cage and someone just stares with blank eyes.
“Thank goodness there aren’t that many.”
There were about 20 demons. A goblin that is a beast and a dryad dog that is a mix of a fairy… Ugh, if I had to send it back because it was a mixed bag of cultures. I’ll have a hard time.
In this world, demons are the object of ostracism.
These unlucky fateful humans, who awaken at any moment without warning, are born with powers and abilities that are incomparable to ordinary humans.
They discriminate because they have different skin colors, so there is no way they wouldn’t discriminate against these demons.
Until just 100 years ago, demon hunting and demon hunting were the main business of the old religious world.
“If you go outside, there will be a carriage. It’s a carriage provided by the Dunareff family, so take the carriage and they will take care of it.”
Some of them spoke different languages, but you could probably understand them.
[Unspecified number]
※ Difficulty: D+
※ Reward
– 25 points equally distributed
– Rumors about you spread among mine people.
A small reward followed. The siblings don’t stand out separately. First of all, I guess it’s because he was a villain in the story and I don’t really think of him as a good guy…
“Are there siblings named Ren and Ron here?”
At my words, the dryad girl pointed to one of the cages. Hmm… I’ll have to leave this to Yuel.
We approached like that. There, children who must have been only about nine years old were crouching down, keeping watch.
“What…is it a bit too small?”
Wolf siblings Ren and Ron.
Unlike demons who usually awaken after birth, beastmen are said to awaken as soon as they are born.
So there are more and more cases of infanticide and selling at a young age. Is that
strange? When I met this brother and sister in the previous episode, they were in their 20s?
I’ve heard that beastmen’s bodies grow rapidly as they grow mentally… But isn’t he still too young?
“Hello kids?”
“Heehee…!”
“Don’t hit my little brother…!”
A confident girl who stands in the way as if protecting her younger brother. I think it’s my older sister Ren…
“I’ll kill you, you son of a bitch…!”
The atmosphere is very different. That… She was a really tall and girly girl… She’s going to grow up like that in a year?
Ren and Ron were villains who acted as minions of the Nine Church in the previous episode.
Fundamentalists, who are extreme demon discriminators, commit all kinds of atrocities with werewolves they enslaved to promote public opinion, and even lead to a political conflict between the first princess and the second princess.
When I think about it now, I really had a hard time.
Originally, the wolf siblings were destined to be sold to the Catholic Church through the Black Star Sect.
And the two powerful werewolves were formidable enemies, and in the previous episode, Park Si-hoo killed them both.
Now I have saved the unfortunate villains who will later grow into mid-bosses.
“It’s a lot different than I thought… but let’s go, guys.”
Hold out your hand carefully. Then the girl’s sharp fingernails struck my palm.
“Go away! Leave us alone!”
“Noona…”
Because she has suffered something from adults, her vigilance is not a joke. I can’t leave it like this… I took out the beef jerky from my pocket.
“Do you want to eat some?”
“Don’t treat me like a kid!”
It was counterproductive. Do you hate beef jerky?
“Kid, let’s go quietly.”
“Leave us alone! Leave us alone…!”
Ren slams his fist against the wall of the cage as if in a fit. I tried my best to threaten him, but it was only my hand that got hurt.
“Huh…”
I grabbed Ren’s wrist.
“It hurts my body.”
“Let go of this!”
“It’s okay. No one will hit you now. You are safe now.”
“Ah…”
I patted her on the back as if to reassure her, and the fierce struggling began to subside. Children who are persecuted rather than protected by adults always live with their teeth raised.
That’s sad.
“What is your name?”
“Ron… I’m Ron.”
“……wren.”
Ren, who was holding Ron in his arms, who was staring at us anxiously, answered one after another.
“Yes, I am Corin. Corin Locke.”
“…Are you a driver?”
“okay.”
I felt all the strength drain from Ren’s body as he patted my back. Did being so vigilant about protecting my younger brother make me even more tired?
As soon as I felt a little relieved, I fell asleep as if I fainted.
“…….”
Should we really put them in the Guardians?
What I was thinking of was mid-bosses Ren and Ron, not these guys.
I was planning to use the characteristics of these guys to keep fundamentalists and ‘spirit magicians’ in check…
“What are you planning, boss?”
A soft voice is heard from behind. The woman dressed as a waitress was a waitress who had been harassing me at the bar… or more accurately, was acting like she was being harassed.
Lenya, a bar clerk.
Although he looks like a clerk at an ordinary back alley bar, he is actually an executive of the Intelligence Guild.
“First, take me to my inn. Feed them some food.”
“Are you a philanthropist?”
“Take it easy.”
Lenya was of great help in collecting the key cards needed for the organizational tree of the Black Star faction and warehouse location. Just
like Doron, it is a business-like dry relationship. He’s a good type, so he’s someone I can deal with comfortably.
“Huh~”
My feelings became complicated after meeting unexpected children.
Hehe, I did a good thing, so it’s no loss.
* * * *
Platform village east of Merkava City. Flying Beast’s An unfamiliar beast lands here where a dock has been prepared. It
has a red beak and, unusually, only one leg, but its balance is not considered impaired. In fact, its eight-colored wings and the sight of them fluttering around is auspicious. In the East, it is called Sanyang
. It was a type of bird that only high-ranking members of society could ride.
“Hello, sir. I think he’s from the East. Please submit your ID.”
The man in Oriental-style clothing got off from Sangyang and played with his long beard, and the boy and girl who got off with him took out a gold plaque.
It was a plaque with a design in the shape of a hunting goshawk, and it was the most famous Oriental badge on this continent. It’s a continental ID card.
“So you were an official at Boramae Academy?”
“That’s right. The head professor is Kang Ryun. These people here are my students.” ” My
name is Kang Yu-hwa, the student council president.”
“My name is Jin-hyuk. Please take care of me.”
As they had heard that guests would come from the East, the landing staff quickly guided them to the carriage.
“We, the Kingdom of El Ras , We welcome your visit. We have a carriage waiting for you, so please come this way.”
Following the staff’s instructions, the three people boarded the prepared carriage.
It is a means of transportation that usually carries dozens of people, but perhaps it is for VIPs, so there are only a few seats and the interior is luxuriously filled.
” Hwiyu~ It’s nice to be treated.”
“Master Hyuk hasn’t even sat down yet.” Kang
Yuhwa blames Jinhyuk for sitting down comfortably first. Her sword wasn’t drawn, but the power created by her inner strength was enough to put pressure on Jinhyuk. “Wow
! ~ Sister. “You know I’m not good at working hard.”
“……Ha. Is this something a first-class engineer would say?”
“Maybe only you.”
“Stop. Enough of the useless talk.”
The middle-aged professor shut his students up with one word and sat down gracefully.
The man’s upright posture seems to express his strong personality.
“But, Master.”
Meditation Jinhyeok spoke to Kangryun, who closed his eyes as if trying to take some time.
“Are you sure? That bitch is here.”
“…….”
Even Yuhwa didn’t stop him from saying that. That’s because she is here for the same reason as Jinhyuk.
“That’s right. The director of this place must have taken him. The emperor guaranteed it.”
“…….”
“…….”
The two people remained silent at those words. It was a cold silence, but Kang Ryun held his tongue as he looked at his disciples who were unable to hide their burning gaze. “Is it possible to achieve a great cause only by displaying one’s cruel ways of living like that?”
“
It doesn’t matter. If only I could destroy that damn bitch.”
“The words are vulgar, but… I can’t leave that evil fire alone. Considering that Ran is still trapped inside… Master… No, Uncle. Are you sure you can save Ran before this festival ends?”
“Of course. Yuhwa, I want to save my nephew as much as you do.”
While watching the conversation between the two, Jinhyeok lifted the lid of the drink that was provided.
Unlike the two people who are related, his resentment is different.
The area of the Burning Moonlight Castle . .The boy, a survivor of that hell, only wants revenge.
