I Killed the Academy Player

karma (2)

After regular classes are over and some after-school activities are over, students return to their dormitories.

Dormitories are divided by gender or male and female for each department, but there is a special dormitory built for only a very small number of students at the top of the hill.

Because the concept is to receive the energy of the mountains, the higher the location, the less desirable a location for climbing hills.

Therefore, it is a special dormitory that is distinct from other dormitories.

The two-story house was initially built to isolate Hwaran, a dangerous person who had caused an accident in the distant East, but gradually the number of residents increased.

In a tidy sunroom that had recently finished gardening and general cleaning, three people… Marie, Hwaran, and Ren were studying in silence for an upcoming exam.

“······.”

“······.”

Crunchy.

Only the sound of pencil graphite grinding echoes in the sunroom.

“······.”

“······.”

Crunchy.

‘Soo, I’m suffocating…’

Ren, who visited the sunroom to study for an exam, wanted to escape this terrible space, but could not see any reason to do so.

It all started with going to a festival called Autumn Woman or something.

As both Hwaran and Marie entered the competition, a strange atmosphere flowed between them.

Having one man… That strange sense of competition forced silence, not saying a word to each other.

If you don’t want to talk to each other like that, can’t you just study in your own room?

But it looks like he doesn’t like it again. They probably think that if they back down, they will lose.

Ren was the first to come, so why should he study in such a heavy atmosphere?

‘Ron… come quickly and take me…!’

I desperately searched for my twin brother, but he was pacing in front of the sunroom door and couldn’t take a single step.

‘Take him…!’

‘D-I don’t think I should go in. My intuition is telling me…’

‘That…!’

These days, I don’t feel embarrassed when I hear people say they grew up before me.

Because of his grumpy temper, he fights with the restaurant owner, scavenges for food waste, and has he forgotten the kindness of his sister who protected him from gangsters!

Either that or not, the underlines that are drawn in the textbook. Ren felt as if he was living with man-eating beasts, and was alert to signs of trouble that might erupt at any moment.

-Cuckoo! Cuckoo!

At some point, the sound of a cuckoo breaks the silence. At 12 noon and 7 p.m., the cuckoo clock, which announces meal time without fail, jumps out of its nest and makes me happy to hear its song.

“······It looks like everyone is gone.”

Ran, who was reviewing on behalf of Hwa, who gave up studying, said.

Normally, it would be when someone from the dormitory, including Josephine, would invite us to the cafeteria.

But coincidentally, it seems like everyone is out tonight.

“Because I did the studying. Yeah, I’m angry today.”

By saying that, Ran revitalizes her body after sitting on a chair for a long time. Soon the color of his hair spread and his red eyes sparkled.

“Bob. I’ll do it.”

“······artist?”

Marie raised her head in surprise. She made a subtle suggestion.

“I’ll help you.”

“No. I’m practicing these days. I mean, by myself.”

Hwa leaves the sunroom without waiting for Marie’s answer. Marie tried to stop him with a wave of her hand, but he was already walking towards the kitchen.

“Umm…”

It’s also strange to walk all the way to the kitchen.

“I’m angry…”

Aside from that, I was curious about the cooking that neither Ran nor Hwa cooked.

“Has Ren finished studying?”

“Ah, yes…! Ah, no! Not yet…”

“Okay… Then, I’ll watch your studies until the meal is ready.”

“Gwae, it’s okay…”

“Ron, come in here too.”

Perhaps she had already noticed Ron’s presence, the aqua-haired girl overpowered the two golden wolves with just her eyes and made them sit down.

“Hey.”

“······Please tell me, Sister Marie.”

Marie is usually soft-spoken and friendly. Ren didn’t dislike Marie, but that also varied depending on the time and place.

“Who will Corin give the ribbon to?”

Ah… is this how it happens?

“······well.”

“Hmm…”

In fact, Marie had low pressure all day today.

Estelle’s excessive skinship has recently started to come to the fore. The blatant favor and unrestrained attitude toward Corinne brought a sense of crisis to Marie, who was Corinne’s only ‘older sister’.

He even declared that he would participate in ‘Woman of Autumn’ today, and didn’t he force Corinne to take the ribbon as if it were a given?

As Corin’s ‘senior and older sister’, I proudly countered this absurd tyranny.

······And it was only when Hwaran and Alisha participated in this battle that I felt something was wrong.

One was too much, but it increased to three.

There is no problem. Yeah, no problem. Corrin will choose me. Marie didn’t want to be suspicious.

The devotion she gave him. love. My love… is definitely second to none. but······.

“I guess it’s me? It’s got to be me, right?”

“Well, you can ask me…”

Unstable.

Aren’t there four of them? Chances are 25%. What if you aren’t chosen?

For sure.

You will definitely be disappointed.

Maybe cry.

Even though I am aware that I am being forced to make a difficult choice, I am confident that I hope that they will choose me.

“Ugh…”

In the first place, Korin is also Korin.

If you do something, there will be a lot of women around you.

Marie could simply be tolerant of the women Corinne hung out with.

Because he himself has no dark intentions at all. It’s truly amazing how pure human relationships are.

But even so, there were girls who harbored as much love for Corinne as I did.

Hwaran… especially Ran, is Marie’s oldest enemy. The beginning of that love continued for about a year.

“Sister, I don’t like it.”

I remember that bold and bold girl’s remarks. She who blatantly defines herself as an enemy is the biggest enemy.

‘I won’t lose.’

Yes, I am Marie Dunareff.

You can have whatever you want. Even if it is love.

Korin could never be taken away by a foreigner from the East.

‘Come to your senses, Marie Dunareff!’

Just as Marie was burning her fighting spirit again, a painter came in from the entrance of the sunroom, pushing a wagon.

“I’m done.”

The dish she brought…

“huh?”

“Ugh…? Cough!”

The wolf siblings had an indescribable reaction just by smelling it.

Something dark red, still bubbling.

“Huh? This thing…?”

Ran’s cooking skills are objectively good.

I have been practicing consistently since I moved into the dormitory, and I cook with a lot of love and sincerity, so everything is bound to taste good.

On the other hand, what about anger?

She didn’t like such delicate tasks.

So I didn’t have any expectations. I didn’t have any expectations… I thought it would be okay for Marie as long as I didn’t throw away the ingredients…

“What’s this···?”

It was something that left even Marie speechless.

“Udon?”

From noble mtl dot com

Question marks are used where question marks should not be used.

Hwa moves the dishes to the table without any hesitation.

Udon.

Yes, kimchi udon. A lot of it comes from academics as well.

A spicy noodle dish mixed with oriental kimchi and udon. It was quite popular, and it was also a dish that painters from Eastern cultures would choose.

But it is decidedly different.

Udon does not boil loudly like an active volcano.

The soup is soggy and doesn’t stick to the ladle. It’s not as red as if it had been pumped out of lava.

Even the udon noodles look more like tentacles struggling from underground lava rather than noodles.

“Udon, right?”

“······Yes. Corinne likes fried noodles.”

No matter how you look at it, it is neither ordinary udon nor stir-fried noodles without broth.

Located in the middle… is something that insults the udon category.

“eat.”

Could this be an attempt to poison a competitor?

Marie picked it up and, with trembling hands, stamped her fork on the surface of the stir-fried udon dish.

-Chiiik!

“Hi!”

This is not it. Absolutely not. It was definitely not a sound that could be made by touching udon.

“Ugh…”

“It’s so painful… Ren.”

The wolf siblings, who are sensitive to smell, were unable to breathe due to the Scoville level tingling from the surface of the udon noodles.

“Corinne. I like it.”

“Corin?!”

Hwa’s statement was not a lie.

Corin clearly loved this dish so much that she ate it all without leaving a single chopstick behind.

However, the reason was not because of the taste, but to preserve the self-esteem of the ‘soul of Korea’.

“Ugh… uh, really?”

If Corin likes it… Marie can jump into the fire pit even with a straw on her back.

Ah, love is such a brilliant thing.

Although I frown heavily, I put the dish to my mouth, hoping to like it like Corin. And──

──Spicy!!

A piercing scream echoed through the dormitory.

“······Did I do something wrong?”

‘Umm… The 10,000 SHU thing Corin said. ‘Can people really eat it?’

Anger licked the corners of his mouth while eating the food I had prepared.

* * * *

That evening, I finished eating at the campus cafeteria with my friends.

“f*cked.”

“Ugh, you’re screwed.”

“I told you. Can you handle it?”

There are four people participating in Women of Autumn: Estelle, Marie, Alisha, and Hwaran.

There are as many as four people.

Four people were implicitly pressuring me to hand them the ribbon.

The big problem here is that I am one person.

“What can I do? I have to pick someone and give it to someone.”

“You can’t do that. The remaining kids will be disappointed…”

“If there is only one person you can save, you have to choose only one.”

“I won’t miss anything and will save everyone!”

“Yes, it’s impossible.”

Jaeger and Lark are twitching their cheeks as if they are looking good. These unloyal things!

“Well, there must be a way…”

It was then. Master was walking lightly across the street.

“Corin~!”

A teacher who welcomes you. She asked me how I was doing with sparkling eyes.

“Have you eaten? How is your health? Are you having a hard time these days because it’s exam period?”

“It’s hard.”

“I heard Clara prepared some health food, so let’s eat together… Oh, Jaeger student. Lark student.”

The teacher, who was concentrating on me, must have noticed the two people and patted them on the shoulders.

“You both got promoted before summer vacation, right? Your accomplishments are amazing. Keep up the good work.”

“Ah, yes… thank you!”

“Gulp…! Thank you.”

Jaeger and Lark looked nervous, as if they were distracted by their teacher’s beauty. Master immediately turns his head towards me, and I see a shiny gold line on the nape of his neck.

“You’re wearing a necklace?”

“Oh? Yes… someone gave it to me, of course I have to do it.”

“It’s pretty. You’ve been dressing up like that for a long time.”

“Ugh… Really, our disciple…”

Master smiled slightly, but then turned to an embarrassed expression.

“Why are you doing this?”

“Ah, that’s right. Something embarrassing happened at the faculty meeting this time.”

“Yes? What is that?”

Could this be an omen already? I don’t think that’s possible, but considering the current situation is completely different from the previous episode, it wouldn’t be surprising if something happened.

“that is···.”

“Please tell me. I will do anything to help.”

“Uh, uhm… It’s reassuring to hear you say that. Actually… I’m participating in Woman of Autumn this time.”

“······yes?”

“It was a tradition for one faculty member to participate in the Autumn Woman every year. Everyone either had experience participating or refused to participate… Huh! Well, it’s also a rule at this age.”

As I watched Master shaking his head as if embarrassed, my complexion gradually turned pale.

“That’s right, what event does Corinne plan on going to? She’s our student, and she’s a great kid who can go anywhere, but I’m curious who she’ll give the ribbon to if she wins it.”

Ugh…

“Ah! I’m not asking for it from me… hahahaha, I’m not that stubborn to become the Lady of Autumn at this age. This teacher just needs one person, Ribbon.”

Master did not notice my pale complexion and laughed heartily.

“Then… let’s have dinner together tonight! Work hard on your studies today too!”

I was trembling as I looked at the back of my teacher who had left. Looking at me like that, Jaeger and Lark also shook their heads.

“It’s okay, dude. Four or five people.”

“Hey, it’s worth a look. Who are you going to give it to?”

Marie, Alisha, Hwaran, Estelle, and even Master Erin…

I can’t pick just one. If I were to pick just one person and give them a ribbon… it would be hurtful to others.

“I can’t help it.”

When Lark shook his head and shouted, Jaeger caught it.

“Is there a way here?”

“Suicide. There is no other way.”

“Oh. Recommended. Recommended for suicide.”

Unhelpful friends. But there is a way.

“Now that it’s like this… I’m giving ribbons to all five people.”

“What?”

“Is that possible?”

possible.

In theory.

“All you have to do is participate in the five competitions held at the Fall Harvest Festival and win all five. hahahahaha!”

“”············cheer up.””

For some reason, the perspectives of the two people are sympathetic.

Don’t look at me like that!
