I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 98
[Sun – Klau Solas (6)]
The next morning, we were able to witness an oak tree that had literally reached heaven.
A long oak tree, each of whose trunks were thicker than thousands of years old, soared toward the sky.
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…..”
Arisha was impressed by the hugeness of the oak tree that had grown up to 10m, but she seemed to be tired of the oak tree that reached up to the sky.
『 ᛊ 』 ─
Carve runes on the floor with Sowi. A rune of the sun that shines in an instant. Rune magic is not cost-effective magic, but…
– Srur…!
The energy rising from the ground is absorbed into my body. The ranged magic recovery field is also working correctly.
“What the hell is going on?”
“This is the essence of stagnant content.”
“Yes?”
There are people who just dig up one game and even tear down the code to interpret it, without doing anything else.
Several people who had acquired the Golden Mandragora and the Silver Mandragora using the Hidden Piece of the Mountain Spirit looked to see if there was something else hidden here.
But why? When I opened the game code, I saw that there were items related to the golden and silver mandragora.
One of them is Mandragora fertilizer. This fertilizer, made by mixing appropriate materials and special soil, boasted absolute performance in ‘cultivation content’.
‘Still, I didn’t know it would be such a superb performance.’
I tried it a few times before coming here. I tried growing a few plants using golden fertilizer little by little, and also completed a field test with parasitic oak and mistletoe.
The oak tree cane that was grown by pouring all the remaining fertilizer is at a very high place. It’s literally trying to reach the sky.
“I don’t know what method you used, but I think you raised him wonderfully.”
Uskias was amazed at the oak tree reaching up to the sky. The oak tree grown by Dumnorix, the highest-ranking druid, is now only about 300 meters tall.
However, our oak tree extends over 1km even through the snow. Even now, it is growing in real time, so it won’t be long before it really reaches the sky.
“Hmm. If you are going to leave now, let me give you one last piece of advice as the Sage of Findias.”
“You tell me.”
“As I told you earlier, there will be a solar eclipse soon. That moment is the only moment when the power of the sun will weaken and you will be able to hold it in your hands.”
In other words, the Sun Klausolas can only be held in one’s hand during a solar eclipse.
‘Once you get your hands on it, are there any restrictions from then on?’
In the previous episode, the king’s servant, the Beautiful King, Ohad Breath, wielded Klau Solas. With or without an eclipse.
“From now on, it’s up to you, young hero.”
With those words, Uskias went back. As if his role was now over.
“Mr. Corin, are you going to leave right away?”
“Yes, it won’t end in a day or two. We’ll pack food and clothes and start climbing.”
“Uh, I’ll tell my sister to get ready.”
What is disappointing is that the strongest members I can prepare for have not yet been gathered.
I know roughly how to get the sun, but the problem is the Sky Giant who will protect it. And this is information that I could not have assumed.
Hwaran and Marie. It would have been reassuring if the two of us had been there… but if the two of us didn’t arrive, we would have no choice but to set off on our own.
“We definitely have to leave in a week. We’ll be there by then.”
* * * *
Late at night with the moon rising.
Arisha swung her sword in the clearing.
While waiting for Marie and Hwaran to arrive, he receives Geomje’s teachings during the day and repeats the day’s review at night.
I plan on repeating this until Corinne says she’s leaving.
“haha…!”
After breaking the sword, Arisha broke away from her lazy daily life and began training seriously, but that was not because she was serious about the sword.
It seems that they focused more on spending time together, following Corin Locke to and from the gym and sparring with each other.
This is the first time that I have focused solely on improving my swordsmanship like I am now.
It reminds me of my childhood memories. Those days when I was completely absorbed in learning the sword with my older sister.
Have you ever swung your sword in such a trance since the first time you cut someone? Alisha, who was even afraid of herself swinging a sword, is unfamiliar with this feeling.
“Haa……”
My whole body is drenched in sweat.
With trembling hands, Alisha did not let go of the yam sword and wiped away the sweat that was flowing from her forehead.
Just as I was about to swing my sword again, I heard a cool voice from behind me that grazed my skin.
“Leave it at that. It hurts my body.”
“……sister.”
Runia Aden. Alisha’s half-sister approached her, throwing a water bottle.
“Discipline is pushing yourself to your limit and gradually increasing that limit. Anything beyond that is not training, it’s asceticism.”
“……huh.”
Arisha agreed and sat down on the chair Yuel brought.
“Have you eaten?”
“…Not yet.”
Pop in my arms! Runia throws something. Alicia knows what it is.
Honey bomb candy. It’s Alisha’s favorite candy that’s so sweet it makes your tongue tingle.
“You always wear it. “Do you like it?”
“Yes… sister. “I like it.”
“I see.”
When I think about it, I think it started from then. Runia always carried this candy in her arms.
Even though it tickled me, I felt uneasy. Ever since I returned home for winter break, I have felt that way whenever I see my sister.
“Do you like Corinne?”
uh?
I was surprised even if I said it myself. Why did you say that? Isn’t it too unexpected?
“Oh, no, that’s not it…”
“Well, he’s a guy I like.”
“yes?”
My brother’s wavering gaze. Looking directly at it, Runia smiled rarely.
“He is objectively an excellent man. Both in appearance and talent.”
A quiet Druid’s secret place. Runia’s voice reaches me clearly.
I wanted to say something back, but my mouth wouldn’t come out.
How many times did he come up with the words to return it?
In the end, what came out was a clumsy protest.
“That’s why I’m marrying you…”
“Of course, I’m also a woman. I don’t propose to you just for external reasons like that.”
“Then…”
“He is a man with a kind heart. If he is, their married life will be smooth. He is a man who will make his wife happy.”
“But…”
I have to give something back. I don’t know why. I just felt like I had to do something to fight back…
“The ‘age’ difference between the two is big…”
Alisha inadvertently gives strength to the word age.
At that moment, Runia’s eyes became sharp.
“There is definitely a difference in level of authority. However, isn’t there an abundance that younger people can’t give?”
“Is that really true?”
With that, the two sisters stared at each other in silence. Alisha, who was usually always under pressure from Runia’s gaze, strangely made eye contact for more than 10 seconds.
If anyone had seen the strange phenomenon of even sparks flying, it would have been a sight to be proud of.
Runia laughs inwardly as she sees her younger brother’s rare appearance.
I know you don’t want to be taken away. I already knew what my younger brother felt.
However, it does not reveal it clearly.
If he was going to reveal it, he would have done something a long time ago.
In other words, Alisha is not even aware of her own feelings.
Otherwise, there’s no way they could do anything but react like this cute reaction until they get to the stage where the engagement story comes up.
If you want something, you have to get it right away.
For the first time in my life, I am not even aware of my feelings.
Therefore, Runia still laughs at and looks down on her immature younger sister.
That weakness and indecisiveness won’t get you what you want.
It’s cheesy, but it needs to be more provocative.
The game is fair and square. For Runia, that is her life-long concept, and she wants to at least put her half-brother at the starting line.
At the signal of the signal, we start as equals and confidently achieve the goal. He looks down at his younger brother with a victorious gaze.
You were taken away.
It is clear that the wine sipped from the winning cup will be sweeter than anything else.
“He has already accepted. After the work is over, he will have an engagement ceremony with me.”
Runia did not reveal at all that it was a false engagement and a contract engagement.
“That…”
Alisha, who didn’t know the context, was overcome with an overwhelming sense of defeat.
And it comes to mind.
The illusion I saw when entering the secret area.
“Brother-in-law. “Right now… I don’t have a sister.”
That despicable act that I screamed and denied.
I end up imagining it.
A delusion that must have been kept as an eternal secret.
When that time comes, will you act the same way?
For some reason, why did I think that this would still be the case?
* * * *
Marie went straight to the eastern Aden headquarters and headed across the border.
In order to meet Corin as quickly as possible, even for a second, she rides the Hresvelg and flies over the Demon Mountains, relying on Deokgu’s senses.
“Deokgu, where is your father’s scent headed?”
“Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk…!”
When Deokgu extends his long hand to point in a direction, Marie skillfully handles Hresvelg’s reins to change direction.
While she was in mid-flight, a roar that echoed through the mountains rose up to the sky where she was.
-Kwaang! Boom! Wow…!
“What is it?”
When Marie turned her attention to the terrible sound of natural destruction, she saw an unbelievable sight.
-Boom! Boom! Wow…!
Something is running through the forest. All the way in a straight line.
The path in the forest is difficult. The roads are not developed, and when there is a flood, just navigating the roads is a struggle.
However, when running through the forest, it passes in a straight line as if running through a wide field. Destroying everything in front of you.
“What are you doing?!”
A girl in a nun’s uniform runs through a hundred-year-old tree with her bare body. As far as she knows, there is only one person who can do something like that.
“What are you doing…?!”
It was that moment. Hwaran, who was walking through the forest in a straight line, encountered Marie. The only time our eyes crossed was for a split second.
“Huh? Everything disappeared…?”
At some point, Hwaran’s appearance disappeared. But Marie had no time to worry about it.
In her field of vision, a huge tree was growing, threatening to reach the sky.
“Is that that?”
The direction Deok-gu is pointing to coincides with the place where Hwaran disappeared. Since it is such a huge tree, Marie lands in a clearing with the idea of finding the flowers first.
“Um… your dad is nearby?”
“Kung!”
Deokgu’s testimony. From here on, you just have to trust Deokgu’s senses. Marie said as she fed Hresvelg a bag of potatoes.
“First, watch us from the sky and follow us. We will call you if anything happens.”
“Crrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!”
The giant eagle Hresvelg understands the human’s words and flaps his wings into the sky again.
“The place where Hwaran disappeared…”
Marie searches the forest using the giant oak tree that rises like a landmark as an indicator.
And how many steps did you walk? It was when we arrived at the place where Hwaran disappeared.
────
“Huh?”
The surroundings are dark. Was it a mistake? Marie was on a chair in the chapel.
“The bride and groom are academy graduates, right? I heard they worked while attending school?”
“Oh my, I guess it’s a speeding violation. You both deserve it! Oh ho ho!!”
“Huh?”
The chapel where the sound of the organ resonates in layers. Children dozing off as the peaceful music continues.
Unlike the simple and calm performance, the decoration of the chapel is gorgeous. It is
a chapel that sings of frugality, harmony, and generosity. It’s rare to see such a splendid decoration.
It might be the equivalent of a sacred place like the Zion Cathedral.
This made me realize that I was at someone’s wedding.
“The bride is entering.”
The priest’s warm voice echoed through the cathedral and the large main entrance opened. The bride enters.
The bride’s wedding dress is decorated with luxurious gold threads and hundreds of diamonds on a pure white background. It is the
wedding dress of Marie’s dreams. One day, she imagined wearing a dress like this and walking along the red carpet of the ceremony hall. Specifically, with a specific boy.
“Ugh… whose wedding was it?”
In a confused memory. Marie gasped when she saw the bride.
“Hwaran?!”
The bride appeared with a shy expression and a blushing face. Hwaran was Josephine’s daughter. Guided by her hand, she stepped on the red carpet.
“Wow, it’s pretty.”
“That’s so true.”
The ladies next to her complimented someone. The children made a fuss about how pretty it was.
But Marie couldn’t hear the reactions of those around her.
“Ahaha… Hwaran is getting married? Why why didn’t I know? Ahahaha….”
An ominous feeling creeps in.
Who is Hwaran? Isn’t she a rock-like girl who always ignores most of the world with a bored expression and slow reactions?
Will such a girl marry someone? Shy face. Walking on the red carpet?
Isn’t there only one person to target?
“Oh no… probably not. No way…”
“The groom is entering…!”
However, the priest’s voice cruelly tramples on the girl’s innocence. A boy appears.
Wearing a southern classic-style suit, obsidian buttons, and an old-fashioned classic watch. The boy walks through the cathedral looking nervous.
The groom arrived soon after and was handed the bride’s hand by the bride’s guardian, and the two stood in front of the priest who was in charge of the ceremony. “────”
The
ceiling of the cathedral. In the stained glass windows. The sight of the shining light blessing the bride and groom… Marie just watched with a mesmerized expression. She
had no choice but to watch.
…………
…….
. …..
There are two people who look happy.
Just watching them from afar makes me feel happy. However, Ran, who is watching, is not like that.
“……Oppa.”
A boy who smiles innocently and his cheeks turn red. A girl with aquamarine hair who smiles brightly and does not hide it.
The two people look at each other with longing eyes and smile like idiots.
The gaze of the two people clearly loving each other. The sight of
them cherishing and loving each other and holding each other like lovers. Looking at this, Ran chewed her lips.
“…I lost.”
It was taken away.
It was taken away.
Even I think of it as unreasonable. But I can’t help but have negative feelings. I think it’s shameful.
Even though I had it all . .
I have a happy family, wealth, and status. All I have
is my brother.
All I want is that person. If I had everything, I could give that person to myself.
I can’t hide that childlike grumbling and greed. Peer. He is still a child to keep his feelings of wealth inside.
And his feelings of jealousy and hatred extend to the person he loves.
“It was my first time…”
Giving my heart to him and touching the hand of a man outside of my family. “It was all my first time…” Then
…
You have to be with me.
I can give and give everything of myself… Why did you abandon me? I feel
resentful, sad, and wronged, as if I was betrayed. It’s overwhelming.
That ideal happiness was unhappiness for me.
* * * *
Uskias, the guardian of Pindias, looked puzzled as he looked at the girls he had brought to the village hall in the corner of the city.
“So, it’s been like that for ‘how many days’?”
“Yes, wise man.”
Another foreigner who visited the secret area. They were caught up in the fog of illusion that surrounded the entire secret area and lost consciousness.
If you think about it normally, anyone who couldn’t overcome the deception would have been sent back. But they did not dare to send these girls away.
……………………………!!!
A strong energy blooms around the two girls.
Due to the intensification of emotions, the release of uncontrolled external force completely blocks access to the surroundings.
“It wasn’t like this when I first brought it in…”
“What on earth are you seeing in the illusion?”
The druids of the secret world were tired of their shocking magical power and amount of aurors. Transcendent people who go beyond human limitations are poised to break the barriers of the city with just the expression of their emotions.
“Ha… If we continue like this, the barrier of the secret world will shake. I will personally enter their illusion and guide them outside.”
“Shall we help?”
“No. I split my self in two and pull out both girls.”
Interfering with other people’s minds is dangerous. Using the druid’s secret arts, Uskias split his self in two and entered the illusion the two girls were in.
『…………No.』
Uskias, who entered the illusion of the two girls…Marie Dunaref and Holland, was in shock.
『How can the world be such that these young girls go to such extremes…?』
One thing is certain: the two girls will soon wake up without the need for Uskias to guide them.
