I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 76

[Dutch (2)]

“The Dutch student has been arrested.”

“…….”

When I returned from the team competition, Hwaran was arrested. I had an accident during my individual competition.

Fortunately, no one was injured, but the problem is that there are a few people here who know about the Dutch golden chicken.

A representative example is Bishop Renault Lijunan, who was dispatched from the Catholic Church of Jerrouem Cathedral.

He pointed out that the Dutch gold fowl, which he was confident was safe, was easily broken by her violence.

Strictly speaking, the gold fowl worked properly. The Dutch Golden Gate consists of an amulet that stabilizes the mind, and the ‘Chain of Zeon’, a sacred item from the Protestant religion that consumes and restrains auras that have been brought into overdrive.

Even though the amulet burned because it could not withstand the Dutch aura, the chain did its job well.

“It’s a situation where we can catch the pod simply because one of the golden pheasants is neutralized.”

“If you wear it on your nose, it’s a nose ring. If you wear it on your ears, it’s an earring.”

But the justification itself is weak. So, I guess they entrusted it to Kang Ryun in the name of re-engraving the amulet.

“…….”

We were late because of the group exhibition schedule. Is this my butterfly effect too?

Originally, I had planned to control the trigger for attaching the talisman, but…

well, okay. I knew it would be like this. What I painfully realized while experiencing the Marie Incident and the Typhoon Bat Incident is that Operation B is always necessary.

“What is the schedule for attaching the amulet?”

“In addition to supplying materials, the workshop is said to be producing a new golden amulet. I have been asked to move Hwaran there.”

“okay.”

It’s a lie.

The amulet must have already been prepared. Is it because of the property I stole? Do you want to resolve the issue in the end?

Whatever it is, they probably want to do something about it before using the Netherlands as a ‘nuclear weapon’ in the team competition.

I have no choice but to skip it up to that point. The problem is that I also need to do something for Hwaran before that…

“Can I meet Hwaran?”

“Annoyingly, the Catholic Knights Templar was added.”

The Knights Templar are blocking it. As expected, you are doing something politically unreasonable. Well, it’s appropriate to go crazy this time.

“Student Corrin.”

Chairman Eriu, who had been watching silently until now… Master Erin approached me.

“How much do you know about student Corin?”

“Ah…”

I noticed. If you have the level of insight you have, there’s no way you wouldn’t know what I’m hiding.

“I know just enough to know something.”

“……This incident. Even though the arrest of the Dutch student was unavoidable, Merkava was able to take full responsibility for it.”

“It would have been so if they had been quite forceful in Merkava, where responsibility was being questioned.”

That’s not a very good idea. It was Master Erin who forced the demons, the main culprits of the Moonlight Incident, to enter Merkava Academy.

He guaranteed safety through a golden precept and accepted Main as a student, but this passed four months.

But what would happen if you were carrying around Dutch eggs in the Merkava?

“I know the risks. However, the Dutch students could have been protected unconditionally.”

I know it, Josephine knows it, and Master Erin knows it.

In this situation, Professor Kang Ryun of Gugyo and Boramae was up to something.

The reason why Hwaran went on a rampage was because of his sparring with Sajinhyeok, the pit bull dog. That also happened while participating in the festival requested by Bishop Renault.

It’s too coincidental to be a coincidence. Since I had been skeptical from the beginning, I was convinced this time.

In the name of reinforcing the talisman, they temporarily seize control over the Dutch and do something in the meantime.

“Student Corin. Are we looking at the same destination?”

“I’m 100% sure. We’re looking at the same thing.”

“Then why are you taking this risk?”

I know what to suspect. I asked for it. In this situation, I ask you not to do anything more than monitor Master and Lady Josephine.

Even if I can’t control it perfectly, I have to get the ‘results’ the way I want. For that, an appropriate ‘process’ is needed.

Master Erin, who does not know my thoughts, would naturally have this suspicion.

Am I the kind of person who gets away with messing up the process just for the sake of the results?

I know that I am not a perfect person. Clumsy actions may result in worse results than the previous episode.

But now there will be no doubt about my actions. Because at least this path I chose wasn’t wrong.

“Everyone has to be included in the outcome I want. No one is left out.”

[Main Quest: Fire / Ran]

※ Difficulty: A+

※ Achievement conditions – Fail when Fire disappears / Fail when Ran disappears.

The royal road I pursue includes both Hwado and Rando.

* * * *

[The Legend of Arhan Heroes] Act 3 boss Bicheon Yacha has a slightly different background from the other bosses that have appeared so far.

You are forced to make two choices: either choose a narrative that has built up your affinity for the character, or choose one.

Will you save Fire or Ran?

Damn Lee Ji-seon. Well, for the heaviness of the story and narrative, this is a pretty effective device.

In fact, there are many users who play multiple times twice due to the branching options in the game.

In the community of old players of [The Legend of Arhan Heroes], there was a discussion about how to make this easy choice a perfect happy ending under the premise of ‘what if’.

This is a controversial argument about the setting that cannot be proven in the game. This is something that no one has been able to prove.

‘Actually, the easiest thing is to choose one of the two with a game sense like Park Si-hoo.’

Either way, there is only one victim. A convenient and efficient option that only requires one person to be sacrificed.

I repeat:

I’m not interested in efficient play.

* * * *

Two days after returning from the team competition. Participants in group competitions are exempt from class and are given rest time.

Some of them are participating in individual and doubles competitions, so it also means that they can wash away their fatigue from Nazrea and recharge their condition.

“Corin this way!”

A girl with fresh light blue hair held me with her small hand and walked down the main street.

The main streets and facilities inside the academy are a festival fit for a festival.

“Corin! Do you want some potato pancakes here?”

“No, you eat a lot on a regular basis. I could fill a whole warehouse just with the potatoes I cut.”

“I guess it’s not that bad?”

“What if the potatoes we both forgot?”

“…I admit it a little.”

What should we do with this potato princess?

“Since it’s been a while, let’s try the chicken skewers and the beef skewers that cost 1 silver coin over there. Wow… each skewer is worth 1 silver coin.”

Even though it is a special tourist attraction, the price is too high. Since tourism is special, there is another thing that comes to mind.

“Sir, how about setting up a food stall in front of our inn?”

“Mum, murm. That’s keekkeek!”

“Oh, I told you to eat some potatoes.”

Give a drink to Marie who is choking. When I came to the festival stand, I saw tornado potatoes… Now that I think about it, they sell tornado potatoes… This keeps me from getting homesick.

“Uh, thank you. If it’s a street vendor, I received a comprehensive report yesterday.”

“Oh, how much profit did you make?”

“That’s it.”

-Whisper whisper!

-Whip!

-Nod!

“Ah… a day like this is coming for me too.”

“Hehe, Corin likes it, so I like it too.”

From the moment the inn was built, more than 100 Boramae members were attracted and stalls were set up in front of it.

We used ingredients shipped directly from the Dunareff family and hired part-time workers to sell things like skewers coated in skewer sauce at three times the price.

Too expensive? Ah, it’s a special tourist attraction!

Anyway, the guys from Boramae came from across the continent, so they don’t know much about prices here.

And since this is not a large sum of money being exchanged, but a small amount of money, it is difficult to feel it.

“Senior! I’m shooting today! Do whatever you want!”

“Wow~!”

Neither Marie nor I have any special plans today, so we can have fun. Above all, there are things to buy among these street stalls.

“Korin! Look over there! I’m throwing a magic stone!”

“Let’s go and try it!”

“huh!”

found. As expected, it came again this year.

A mini game room for merchants set up between street stalls.

There are also hornrat catching (for knights) and manadart throwing, which are similar to modern whack-a-mole, but this magic stone throwing is special.

“Do you know how to throw Corin magic stones?”

“This is my first time.”

“I’ll tell you!”

What I did in the previous episode was not based on experience. It seemed like Marie was itching to tell us.

“Please give me the magic stone!”

“Oh, you’re a pretty girl. I’ll give you one more as a treat.”

Marie paid the owner a silver coin and received a tray containing six stones the size of her fingers.

-Mister, why don’t you give me more?

-Student look in the mirror.

“Look carefully. These magic stones were broken into pieces that were judged defective in the mine. Look, they are soft when you touch them, right?”

“Oh it’s true.”

To be honest, Marie’s fingers were softer than the defective magic stone.

“Is it okay for a rock to be this soft?”

“Not in the first place. Magic stones easily absorb magic power, so their properties can easily change. That’s why they are often used as magic staff materials.”

Marie tapped her jade bead-like staff. They say there are magic stones mixed in here as well.

“But if it’s this soft, it’ll explode right away. Look!”

A magic stone that shines and swells as soon as Marie injects magic power into it. As if it was going to explode.

“You have to throw it before it explodes!”

Marie deftly threw the magic stone that had begun to swell towards the inside of the game room.

-False!

A magic stone exploding with a loud sound like a popping pop.

Perhaps because of the soft surface, magical energy was scattered everywhere as if a water bomb filled with water had exploded rather than a fragmentation grenade.

“Oh… 80 points. Are you good at your skills?”

The magic stone that Marie threw scattered magic power only in a very small area, and the magic traces did not escape from the target area.

On Earth, would it feel like a mixture of tombstone striking and a water bomb?

The key to throwing a defective magic stone is how precisely the magic power is injected and how to keep the magic traces from leaving the target area.

Well, it was a minigame with that kind of setting.

It feels like the range of the water bomb narrows or widens depending on the character’s accuracy correction value.

What’s also interesting is that the water bomb that Park Si-hoo and I threw in the previous episode had a completely different effect.

“Let me throw it.”

I injected magic power into the magic stone I received from Marie.

“Corrin! It’s bulging! Throw it away quickly!”

“Throw it quickly!”

Despite Marie and the president’s urging, I concentrated my magic to my limit. A magic stone that swells like a water bomb filled with water to its limit.

Throw it by snapping your fingers. Thanks to the tricks I learned while practicing javelin throwing and catapulting, my hit rate is infinitely close to 100% in the narrow streets of the mini game room.

-Boom!

A magic stone explodes exactly on the target. However, the magical remnants only exploded in a much narrower range than Marie.

Even though much more magical power was injected than when Marie threw it.

“Ninety-five points….”

Okay, this is perfect. Even though I am a sub-player, I am also someone who receives corrections from the player system window.

The higher the hit rate, the narrower the spread range of the ‘Festival Bad Mana Stone’, and the lower the hit rate, the larger the spread range. In the game, all kinds of debuff equipment and magic were applied to create a ‘0% hit rate’, and the spread range increased up to 100m.

There really is nothing to do. Stagnant water. Is there any time left? Yes, that guy who has nothing to do is me.

“mister.”

“Uh huh?”

“Sell me all the magic stones here.”

“What what?”

“I’ll pay you twice as much.”

I handed the bag of gold coins to the boss on the spot.

“Corin, why did you buy that?”

“It’s all useful. Marie, you said you had something to go to Fergus before going to her solo exhibition, right?”

“Yes! The staff needs to be maintained and the protective coat needs to be repaired.”

“Corin Locke is calling, so come running. He’ll give you some work.”

“???”

“That’s right, senior. Carriage transport was your subsidiary, right?”

“Yeah. But?”

“Can I get a carriage schedule?”

“Corinne…”

Marie’s expression narrowed slightly at my repeated requests.

“What are you planning again?”

“Hehe, have you figured it out already?”

“I know it all just by looking at Corin’s expression~”

“It’s time for ‘him’ to return.”

“that?”

Marie blinked cutely.

* * * *

“It’s a move.”

Hwaran slowly raised his head as he saw the three people who came to see him.

Gangryun. Kang Yu-hwa. Photographer Hyuk.

The reason three people from Boramae Academy came to visit her was to move her to an inn on the outskirts of the city.

She was bound tightly by Zion’s holy relic, ‘Zion’s Chains’, and humiliatingly had to be lifted and moved by Sajinhyeok.

Nominally, the purpose is to create an amulet to repair her golden feather in Kangryun’s workshop.

Amulets that can restrict the movements of Jiangshi must use special materials.

Yellow paper with dried pieces of jiangshi’s skin and ink made from the blood of a black dog.

Since you have to write on an amulet and recite a spell, even a skilled Taoist master must be fully prepared in his or her workshop.

But this is a remote place. Kang Ryun rented accommodation for students at an inn on the outskirts of the city and set up a temporary workshop to prepare the techniques to be used in this group exhibition.

It seems that he dragged Hwaran to the temporary workshop, obtained the materials needed to make the amulet, and then immediately performed the golden rule ceremony.

“Take him in the carriage.”

Sa-kyeok gets on the carriage holding Hwa-ran on Kang-Ryun’s horse. Kang Yu-hwa and Kang Ryun followed the two people into the carriage.

“oil paint.”

“Yes uncle.”

It was then. Yuhwa opened the mouth of Hwaran, who was chained and unable to move. Then Kangryun puts something inside it.

“Ugh…!”

As soon as I realized it was a piece of wood, a burning pain welled up in my gut.

A feeling of weakness and lethargy in the whole body. As if receiving a ‘standby order’.

Not only that, the chain that had been constricting Hwaran until now was slowly loosened and wrapped around Hwaran with only a weak force.

As she was incapacitated, there was no longer enough aura for the chains to absorb.

“Wow~”

Jin-hyeok asks Kang-ryun a curious question as he looks at Hwa-ran who was instantly incapacitated.

“What did you feed me just now, Master?”

“It’s a peach tree carved from a peach tree. It’s like the natural enemy of the rivers.”

“So…”

Then you can kill this guy now? Gangryun seemed to have read those thoughts as he stared at him with a sharp gaze.

“Don’t think nonsense. A jiangshi of this monster’s level will only end up with body pain even after feeding Dao Tree into its body. Don’t underestimate a jiangshi who has reached the level of ‘Bicheon Yacha’. It wouldn’t be surprising if he evolved into ‘Hu’ at any time. To put it bluntly, “It becomes a monster worse than a dragon.”

“Tch…”

“Hyuk, keep in mind. Our goal is to separate the evil being from Ran, not kill it.”

“I know, I know.”

It was Hwaran whose complexion turned pale at Yuhwa’s words.

“What… what do you mean?”

“It’s just like I said, fire. Uncle Kangryun will remove you from Ran’s body.”

“If you do something like that…!”

“If you lose your body, you will disappear. Or you will be reduced to a demonic spirit.”

“This body…!”

“It’s by no means yours. Don’t you know that? When

Hwaran is in a cold sweat due to the influence of Domokpae, Yuhwa just looks down at her with a harsh expression, her usual gentleness gone.

“I will get Ran back from you. Do you think you, who took so many lives, deserve to have that body?”

“I…”

While Hwaran was unable to protest, the carriage was already reaching the end of the city.

“Master, we’ll be arriving soon . ” “Yes

,

hurry up and finish the work in the workshop–!!”

-Room-dumbling! Drumming!

-Kiyooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

! At that moment, a huge carriage crashed into the carriage Kang-Ryun was riding in.

-Crack! Crunch!

-Kkeeeeeee!!

The two carriages collided without hesitation. It was the carriage Kang-Ryun was riding in that fell with a loud noise.

“Okay.” ! Boss, what should I do?”

“Hahahaha! Take everything that can make money!”

A line that seemed like something a bandit would say. However, when the door opened and her eyes met with the leader of the thieves, Hwaran could not close her widened pupils. “You

… .”

Red eyes and a unique ponytail. Even though he is wearing a mask, you can’t recognize him as a boy.

“Oi-oi! “She’s a pretty girl!”

“Huh?”

“This is a complete disaster! Hey guys! Take care of this bitch!”

“Yay! Brother!”

A masked man snatching Hwa-ran out of a stalled carriage.

“Yuhwa Jinhyeok!”

Kang Ryun’s shout as he came to his senses prompted the two knights to jump out of the stalled carriage. At that very moment──

[Surprising]

The path in which the two people jumped. A water bomb is installed. The enormous pressure of the water explodes and throws the two people away.

“Huh… Wizard? hyuk! The wizard’s location…!”

“It’s the city! You never know where they might be hiding in the building! First, let’s start with that guy…!”

[Region of Blood]

A bright red barrier unfolds as soon as the two people make a decision. The area of blood completely divided the three people, including Jang Sa-hyeok, from the magic bandits.

“What is this?

” Barrier?”

They don’t know. They are a particularly rare vampire among demons. They are bound to be unfamiliar with the power of an elder-level vampire who can control the realm of blood.

“Hahaha! The operation is a success, brother!”

“That’s enough! Gaza!”

“Gazaa!”

It was the return of Immortan Locke.

…………

……

…

‘Uhm…….’

Help Korin. Marie, who isolated the three people of Boramae in the area, was embarrassed by the unexpected situation.

“No way… there was someone who could penetrate the area…”

Originally, she had planned to keep them confined for about an hour, but the shopping mall The three people looking down through the building did something in the area.

To be more precise, Kang Ryun did something.

The fan he was holding spread out, and figures of snake-tailed turtles and white tigers were erected everywhere, temporarily creating a small hole in the area.

“Yu-hwa.”

“I will chase after you.”

Marie was startled and repaired the area, but Kang Yu-hwa took advantage of that moment and escaped the area.

She cannot go any further. It was something Corin had entrusted to her.

‘Corin. .. be careful.’

_ It is said that an unknown group of magic bandits raided the carriage carrying Boramae’s VIPs and kidnapped a student named Hwaran.” “…….

”

After dismissing the security guards, Josephine slumped down on the office chair in the head professor’s office.

“What the hell are you doing?”

was Lady Josephine’s first swear word in nearly 35 years.
