I Killed the Academy Player

Illustrated by Miriam Elisabeth L. Ras (1)

After the attempted assassination of the princess, the kingdom was engulfed in public anger.

It was only recently that there was a stir over the kidnapping of saints.

The royal family must respond and take appropriate action.

10 years ago. The situation was different from when Queen Maria died in an accident.

“An official letter has arrived from the association asking us to participate in this subjugation.”

The official document that Runia brought was an official document of cooperation declared by the royal family and stamped by the head of the Guardian Association.

Since it is a royal order, you must comply unless your liver is swollen…

“We don’t participate.”

“Yeah, I heard the story.”

Runia shrugged her shoulders.

“I am a member of the Guardians, so I will follow the leader’s orders, but my family name is somewhat ambiguous.”

“Has cooperation already gone to the Arden family?”

“The second princess is quite motivated.”

It’s fortunate that Runia is part of our Guardians.

“Mr. Runia, please take this.”

“hmm?”

Runia looked puzzled after receiving the documents I gave her.

From noble mtl dot com

“Isn’t this a business trip request from Southern Dupe City?”

“Yes, Runia and Alisha will be on guard duty there.”

“At this time?”

“All the other members have already been requested to go on business trips. Oh my, everyone is so busy that they won’t be able to respond to the association’s official documents.”

“Hmm~”

Runia made an interesting expression and twisted my hair.

“Are you sure you want to do this alone?”

“Senior Marie will stay and help. Of course, I’m the only one who has to take the lead.”

“It’s a pity that you can’t intuit the majesty of the West.”

The title has evolved from Fiancée to the West…

“Why don’t you go sightseeing with Alisha and eat something delicious?”

“Yeah, sure.”

Runia and I had a cup of tea in the office for a while and then dispersed. It’ll be hard to see her until the job is done.

Lastly, I hung a sign on the front door that said “Corrin Guardians Long-term Business Trip Closed” and left.

* * * *

Princess Miriam’s assassination attempt failed, and the Zeruem Church exposed the existence of the Demon Union.

This was the worst crisis in Danash’s history.

“You stupid wolves!”

Vampire Elder Glastig glared at the beastmen with bloodshot eyes.

Normally, I would have said something like, “Where are the mosquitoes going?”, but they are also shameless. Kush sighed and honestly admitted it.

“It’s my mistake.”

“Of course! It should have been dealt with clearly! Now the kingdom is organizing a punitive force! How are you going to stop it!”

“······The entrance to Danash is a natural fortress. All you have to do is block the narrow path and hold on.”

“It will break through one day! Unlike us, humans are numerous!”

“The wolves have been hidden all over the continent. If we wage guerrilla warfare on all sides while their armies are pounding on the entrance, we can eradicate their ability to wage war. Especially if we clamp down on the south——”

“stop.”

The one who cut off Kush’s horse was Leprechaun, the leader of the alliance. He was usually kind, but now he was staring at Kush with a sharp gaze.

“You were already preparing for war.”

“······I always prepared for the worst.”

“Didn’t I tell you repeatedly? Violence only brings about more violence.”

“However, it was only a matter of time before our existence in the Destruction Area was revealed. It was a matter of sooner or later.”

“ha······.”

Leprechaun let out a sigh that had accumulated over many years.

“Still, I want to avoid fighting.”

“Is there a way, Elder?”

“I am the way.”

It was then. An unfamiliar voice intervened in the Mound conference room.

“Corin Locke…!”

“Ilusan! Where are we? Bring an outsider!”

A young man brought in by Edna Ilusan. Brilliant blonde boys and girls hide behind the gaze of hostile beasts.

“This is everyone’s first meeting, but you know me, right? I contacted you once through Edna.”

“You bastard!”

When the man who foiled the assassination of Miriam appeared, the prisoners were ready to run away at any moment. But Kush stopped this.

“If you prevented the assassination of the princess, why are you helping us this time?”

“Well, even though I prevented the assassination, I didn’t help you when you attacked them. Just because I’m not an ally doesn’t mean I’m an enemy.”

“······.”

After those words, Kush said nothing more. Since the assassination attempt failed, he felt that he had no right to speak here.

The next person to speak was the elder-level vampire Glashtig.

“Corin Locke. Guardian of the new vampire Dunaref.”

“Not a guardian.”

“So are you a companion?”

“It seems similar.”

“As it is, Marie Dunareff should come here as our compatriot.”

“And that only applies to people who have no support and nowhere to go.”

“That’s true. We are poor.”

Glastig stared at the boy who was the guardian of the newborn vampire girl.

Glashtig knows the vampiric impulses of those who have just become vampires.

It’s like a curse. Just as werewolves who saw the full moon were unable to control themselves, vampires had the same impulse to suck blood.

One person probably had to die.

‘But, he didn’t die. Did you say that the boy is the only one that girl sucks blood from?’

Knowing the pain of a vampire’s first vampiric impulse, Glashtig cannot help but sympathize with Marie Dunareff’s situation and Corin Locke, who overcame it.

Because I understand better than anyone else the pain unique to vampires that others do not know.

“Okay, I agree with your suggestion.”

“Glashtig?”

“What are you thinking!”

There were voices of opposition everywhere, but Glastig had already made his decision.

“It’s the most likely thing at the moment, old Leprechaun. I agree.”

“Who are the rest?”

“······.”

“······.”

There was no answer. It’s natural. No fool would risk his family’s life for a foreigner. There will be a long and heated debate.

Corin Locke has no intention of waiting for this.

“I’ve already handed over a bunch of documents from Edna Ilusan. It’s going great.”

“what?”

“Of course, this bill cannot be passed without your consent. This is a close fight for justification. So, decide right now, right here.”

-War or gambling?

Inside the noisy conference hall. Although Edna Illusan and Glashtig agreed, there were still many who could not make a decision.

“Do you need to worry? You can prepare for war or evacuation as you please. You just need to give me one reason.”

“······.”

It was definitely as he said. It’s a proposition that the mound won’t lose at all. Because one semi-special engineer provides assistance almost free of charge.

In addition to providing justification for tradition, there was no real loss to the mound.

“Why are you doing that?”

Kush, who first started this situation, was unable to understand party leader Corinne Locke.

After helping Miriam, he says he will help Mound again this time. As a bat, it is doing things in turns that are not useful.

“What on earth are you thinking when you do this?”

That’s why I had to ask. Why would this young knight risk his own life to do something like this?

“Peace. The end of the chain of revenge.”

“Do you think that would be possible?

“It’s okay. I’ll make it happen. The best thing is for less people to die.”

“I’m making a suggestion. If your beastmen come under the command of Lord Balthazar, I will invite your union to the new world.”

“······.”

The conditions were the same but different from those proposed by an old druid who visited me one day.

Kush looked up at the ceiling blankly, lost in thought.

It is better not to kill than to kill.

It was obvious.

·········

──Corin Locke is the head of the five Danash alliances. Elected as ‘Fairy King Finnvara’. Those who oppose this should raise their hands.

* * * *

The Mound Suppression Army was organized in less than a week.

This was possible because the Steel Islands’ Magic Tower subjugation force had not yet been disbanded.

The Guardians, who had not been able to participate in the subjugation of the Magic Tower by summoning the Kingdom’s army that was clearing the Steel Islands, raised their enthusiasm, saying, “This is the time.”

Above all, the religious force that divided the kingdom, the Zeruem Church, actively recruited crusaders.

Thousands of indulgence sheets were printed out, saying that this war was for the Lord and that the Lord would grant indulgences to heaven to those who participated in the war.

They say that with three indulgences, you can get away with murder.

“Her Royal Highness. We’ll be arriving soon!”

The next cardinal, Bishop Gres, who fled to Jeruem to avoid Estelle’s religious reform.

He decided to use this attempted assassination of Princess Miriam as an opportunity and sold Dana Shewa Mound to his heart’s content.

Mound, whose existence the New Church knew of and had a tacit exchange with, has now been designated as the mastermind behind the attempted assassination of the princess.

A group of vagabonds who were never citizens of the kingdom in the first place. There is no need for special law enforcement to subdue them.

‘It’s enough to sweep away.’

There are thousands of kingdom troops gathered here, including hundreds of knights and wizards. If you include the crusades that the Catholic Church enthusiastically summoned, the number is as high as 20,000.

The goal is the complete eradication of the underground city of Danash and the entire Mound. This is the moment when Miriam’s long-cherished wish comes true.

“Please wait a moment, everyone. I will send you burnt offerings soon.”

This is my destiny. This is the moment when Leah Pal’s long-held wish was fulfilled.

Even though one character is missing from that fate, it doesn’t change anything.

Because I will achieve this destiny by any means necessary.

“Wow, princess…!”

A messenger hurriedly ran towards the headquarters where Miram was. He is a member of the reconnaissance team, having gotten off a light and small-sized wyvern.

“Urgent alert! Urgent alert! A ‘giant sun’ has appeared ahead! A gigantic sun has appeared!”

“Giant sun?”

What exactly does that mean… But Miram noticed right away.

My skin has been tingling since a while ago. The air was too dry for the cool weather of fall.

“no way···!”

The distance between the preceding reconnaissance party and the main unit must be over 30km? Miriam soared into the sky on the wyvern that the scout had dismounted.

And then I discover a huge sphere visible beyond.

“Corin Locke…!”

A huge sun… was blocking the path of the punitive army.

* * * *

The number of troops that arrived exceeds 15,000. Considering the knights, wizards, and priests that belong to it, it is an unprecedented composition that cannot be simply calculated using numbers alone.

There is someone who stands alone and stands in front of an army the size of something you would only see in the final battle.

Corin Locke.

Hero of the Kingdom.

A knight who destroyed the magic tower and defeated the magic tower lord.

The man who had been praised as a hero not long ago was standing in the way of the kingdom’s army.

With the blazing sun.

-Gooooooooooooooo────!!

A vicious heat burned the air.

All living things hid their drying tongues, straightened their backs, and instinctively protected themselves.

“Ugh…!”

As the overwhelming heat illuminates the earth, complexions become pale.

They also understood. The moment the sun sets, we all die.

That’s the sun.

Author: Corin Locke.

The hero of the kingdom and the one chosen by the gods.

Wouldn’t some people be breathless when faced with its majesty?

“Nonsense… magic power.”

“Is that really a human?”

A sphere that burns so intensely that it seems as if it could burn the universe. A wave of magic power so concentrated that it would be foolish to calculate it.

Is it really possible for one human being to possess that much magical power?

“Corin… Locke!!”

Miriam, who arrived riding a wyvern, gritted her teeth as she saw the sun and the Knight of the Sun in front of her.

why.

Why are you interfering with my wish?

“What are they doing…!”

In response to the criticism from the princess who ran to the front, the kingdom’s knight commander stepped forward as an example.

“Sir Corin Locke! I am Rendal, commander of the 3rd Knights! We have received a solemn order from the royal family and have come to subdue the thieves who attempted to assassinate Her Royal Highness!”

“······.”

Despite the loud voice of the kingdom’s knight commander, Corin just stays in his place like a huge rock.

However, that rock mass is a moving rock. As evidence, the previous scouting party was scattered around and destroyed. It was fortunate that no one died.

“Why is the Lord blocking our path!”

“You talk a lot.”

“······!”

Commander Rendal furrowed his brows at the verbal abuse that could easily be considered an insult.

“There is nothing we can do. If we want to receive the blade of the royal family.”

“That’s it, Captain. But the sun behind you…”

“Don’t worry. If I had tried to kill him, I would have killed the scouts first. I don’t know what he was thinking, but a knight is just doing his duty as a knight.”

Knight Commander Rendal got off his horse and drew his sword. As he holds one position among the knights in the kingdom, he is a strong man who is praised as a first-class knight.

Corin Locke. He is a first-class knight certified by the Guardian Association. If so, it means that they are on the same level as you.

He trusted his sword and confronted him, and the spearman and swordsman naturally took up their weapons.

“Lord Corrin! Be prepared!”

Knight Commander Rendal rushed in with his eyes wide open. An artificial gust of wind occurred on a road surface filled with fallen leaves.

The charge of a heavily armed knight is like a mass of bombs exploding at the moment of impact.

-bang!

There is no knight in the hollow floor. He left the place with this explosive momentum.

“oh···!”

The knights admire the tyrannical spirit of their knight commander. Even though it was a frontal assault, Rendal’s new type arrived right in front of him in a moment that was comparable to a surprise attack.

“Surp…!”

A sword filled with aura strikes like a thunderbolt. A sword that could cut even an ogre in half… but the sword could not reach it.

-Tup!

Corin grabbed Rendal’s wrist as he struck down his sword with one arm. That’s not all.

The two hands that were held so cruelly could not move at all and only trembled.

“W-what kind of power…!”

From noble mtl dot com

【Monstrous power】.

Temporarily increases strength by 200%.

Rendal was overwhelmed by a force that no knight could control, and his remaining arm struck his face.

“Ugh…!”

In an instant, Corin clings so closely to Rendal, who breaks his nose and takes a step back.

One leg strikes and collapses Rendal’s left leg, and at the same time, a closed fist strikes the solar plexus.

-bang!

Eight poles and six major dogs. Rendal falls to the floor with a dizzying roar… gasp! I let out a breath.

“All right, Captain…!”

“You bastard…!”

The knights charge in unison to seek revenge on the leader who was wronged.

Each and every one of them is a knight, and at the same time, combat masters who have trained assuming group battles rush in, forming formations without any error.

Great Knight Tactic No. 7 Hunting.

No one has ever survived this group tactic.

“······.”

A smile appeared on Corrin’s lips.

In that split second, the knights’ entire bodies froze. It was as if there was a gap in this group strategy that they could overwhelm.

My intuition warned me that the world had slowed down.

＜Activate Silver Spear Resonance＞

“Damage──!!”

The vice-captain’s instinctive avoidance, sensing danger. However, only five people responded to the 0.1 second increments of sound being transmitted.

Flames and gusts of wind bursting from the floor. The magic power of the pre-installed runes exploded all at once.

“Rune…!”

Dozens of knights were hit by the fire that quickly engulfed them. The vice-captain was embarrassed.

“How can rune magic have this kind of power…!”

Those who did not know about [Rune Amplification] were taken aback by the resonance explosion performed by the runes, which had the power of the lowest level of magic. And──

“omg···!”

Korin jumps out from the raging fire and hits the vice-captain with the entirety of his spear.

“Keuuk?!”

The vice-captain allowed a blow to the side, and his ribs were crushed and bounced away.

In an instant, half of the knights evaporated. The leader and vice-leader were unable to hold on and collapsed.

“······.”

Completely overwhelming.

The Master of the Sun looks down at Miriam and the Legion with a mad smile.

“What, is it just this?”

It was the beginning of rebellion.
