I Killed the Academy Player

Hwaran(3)

– All right! All right!

A band of magicians running on the highway. On top of the swaying stirrup, Hwaran breathed heavily.

on a running horse. The wind that brushes against me is cold, and my hands and feet tremble and do not move as I will.

Perhaps as a reaction to swallowing the peach tree, my body trembled every time the cold sweat dripped down and collided with the wind.

“You… what are you doing?”

The words he uttered out of a daze were cold as usual, but the tone was lukewarm due to lack of power.

“They said there was an accident while I was away. I came to save you.”

“······Do something useless.”

It is a look at what this means.

Actually it is. They attacked the distinguished guests from Boramae Academy and kidnapped the academy students.

will be caught soon Whether this is the will of Josephine or Chairman Eriu, it is only a matter of time before Corinne and herself are captured.

“·······.”

Corinne was dexterously driving her horse while hugging Hwaran.

The look of the raid, which was eccentric in the eyes that could be seen at first glance, is calmly submerged anywhere.

“If you get dragged away, you won’t see anything good.”

“I know.”

“That’s why you helped me. Are you dissatisfied?”

“You… have nothing to do with it.”

“When you live under one roof, it all has to do with it.”

“·······.”

Hwaran did not respond to that.

“We’ve arrived, Boss.”

An intersection that separates the road from the city and the forest. Corinne carefully lifted the flowerpot and dismounted from the horse.

“According to the contract.”

“I will buy time by leaving as many traces as possible.”

Corinne handed over the bag containing the gold coins to the bandits.

“Half advance payment. Half down payment.”

“It was a good deal, Mr. Immortan.”

“If you get money, live kindly. Don’t live badly and meet me.”

“Ah yes. We normally all work legally.”

They are mercenaries arranged by the information guild. Now they will get as far away from the city as possible to attract the attention of their pursuers.

“Do you think that is useful?”

“The odds are half and half.”

Corinne takes Hwaran’s hand and goes into the woods. However, after less than 10m, Hwaran collapsed.

“Your condition hasn’t been good since a while ago. The chain isn’t properly tied… what did you eat?”

“peach tree.”

“Is it a wooden board? It’s going to be hard for a few days.”

A magic tool that is lethal even if it touches the Jiangshi. It’s about the level of madness, so it ends with a simple body death.

Hwaran is now in a worse position than a girl of her age.

Sweat pours down like rain, and the trembling hands and feet do not function properly. His dignity as an absolute strongman is nowhere to be found.

“It’s okay. I don’t know what.”

“what?”

There is no time for Hwaran to be surprised. It’s because Corinne started running with all her anger.

──────

Hwaran was dumbfounded by the sudden action. It was a frequency that exceeded the speed of a horse, but the cold skin did not even care.

“Now, wait a minute…”

Corinne’s small body would be able to carry it lightly and run.

It does not change even in forest roads with unmaintained roads and overgrown trees where a momentary mistake can cause an accident.

“I’m going to get off… I can run…”

“Don’t be pretentious. Even walking is difficult. Well, you’re as light as a feather, so you don’t have to worry about it.”

“·······.”

That’s not what Hwaran is concerned about.

It is the act of completely entrusting one’s weight to others.

From noble mtl dot com

“············.”

Several emotions were pressed into the back of his throat.

Pride, not wanting to depend on others, the common sense that you have to express gratitude at times like this, and even the expression of your weight.

Would swallowing it rather than spitting it out would protect one’s pride?

The reason why I strangely liked the fact that it was as light as a feather at the end is probably something I won’t realize for a long time.

“······Unpleasant.”

However, he expressed a low displeasure with his animal-like instinct.

“Leave it on credit.”

Corinne is good at accepting that.

-Ta-ta-t-tak!

The speed of running through the forest was twice that of the horse.

Indeed, a knight. Even with the evaluation grade of a first-class knight, her physical strength is said to be inferior to that of Arisha, but Corinne is at the top of the list among knights.

They must have spread a farther distance than the mercenaries who rode out of the crossroads.

It is for this reason that a creature called a knight is treated as a super weapon. Then… What is ‘running side by side’ with Corinne?

“already?!”

A black-haired pursuer wearing a distinctive Taoist uniform.

The sword fairy, leisurely running side by side with Corinne among the crowded trees, is staring at us.

“It’s slow.”

“You didn’t catch it!”

When he thought that the mercenary he had thrown as bait was not doing his job, a sharp dagger was already flying.

-puck!

The thrown dagger hits the bounced stone as if fighting back. Stones with runes engraved on them collide with daggers at an intense speed.

“It’s a surprise raid. I thought he was a kinder person.”

It’s not something the person who crashed the wagon would say.

in a gloomy forest. Each one runs at a speed faster than a horse’s sprint, preparing a dagger and a catapult engraved with runes.

──! ──! ──!

──! ──! ──!

Daggers and catapults that shoot like lightning.

– Perok!

A long-distance battle exchanged while running through the forest. It was Corinne who allowed the attack first.

“Quit…!”

Corinne frowned at the dagger lodged in her shoulder.

Two daggers offset, but missed the other one. Even if they were assisted by runes, catapults and daggers differed in their accuracy.

“······are you okay?”

“I’m not the type to apply poison to a dagger, so this much…”

“Do you think it will end with one sack?”

Hey. do you know that snakes are bald?

Numerous daggers pouring out behind Kang Yoo-hwa’s back. It is as if the sky is filled with a rain of flowers.

The daggers controlled by the Aura detect Corinne’s movement path and are fired.

Corinne escapes by using a tree as a wall with Hannah in her arms.

Hundreds of daggers were pouring down after calculating their movement path.

– Papapak!

The giant trees of the forest, the daggers stuck in the humus. Corinne, hiding behind the giant tree, puts down the flower.

“Wait a minute.”

“Have you stopped running away?”

A new type of oil painting approached with the weightless sound of stepping on humus. Corrine stands in front of her, leaving Hannah behind.

“what······.”

I can’t seem to resist it. Corinne decided to confront her. Hwaran watched the scene with blank eyes.

* * * *

-Kang!

A ringing sword. The collision of steel against steel sparks.

The spearman holding a silver spear poured fierce forward spear attacks at the sword fairy.

Corinne Locke’s spearmanship has a truly hegemonic character.

From spear spacing to classic point strikes to deadly swings.

They are seasoned and each one is lethal. Truly a master of creativity. Even the Dutch knew that there were bone-breaking repetitions in each of the techniques.

“oil paint······.”

Hwaran stares at the original blood and flesh of my body. A slender girl who is one head shorter than Corinne. A sword fairy counterattacking the merciless rain of spears.

‘how······.’

The stabbing spear was deflected with a single blow, and the swinging spearhead was lightly pushed away. Every time the spear was fired, it was Corinne who retreated.

heavy.

Did you know that seagulls are just beach chickens?

Yoo Hwa’s single sword, which must weigh less than half of Korin’s, is pushing Korin down.

“Suck…!”

Corinne gasped and retreated half a step further.

Hold the spear in your hand diagonally to block the blow of Yuhwa.

-phut!

Sounds like compressed air exploding. Sparks fly and Corinne is pushed back as if being thrown out ten paces.

The identity of that destructive weight is a strong aura formed on Yuhwa’s blade.

The aura that was so absurd that it was visible to the naked eye raged wildly and bounced off the opponent just by touching it.

sword master.

The strongest knight of Boramae, also called the sword fairy, boasts a high level of aura.

In other words, it meant that she had an aura core that she had acquired at the right pace.

“You… you must have an aura core, why aren’t you using it?”

But the same goes for Corinne Locke. Rather, he has an aura core that is twice as large as Yuhwa’s.

The Aura Core obtained by ingesting the Silver Mandragora, and the Demonic Core inherited from the Great Hero Sevancia Duke.

“Because I got it as a trick.”

However, since it was not acquired through fairness, its use is limited.

The silver core is a trump card that must be preserved until the very end.

The demonic core is still a nuisance that has not been utilized. Like a clogged dam, it only accumulated a huge amount of aura, but the stopper did not open.

Hey. do you know that snakes are bald?

No, if you want to open it by force, you can open it… but this is more like not opening it instinctively after realizing that something is different.

Therefore, the only Aura that Korin can use is her pure Aura. The quality and absolute amount of this aura is absolutely inferior to Yuhwa, who has reached a higher level of aura.

“Well, that’s good. If you’re saving energy… I’ll forcefully pull it out.”

Oil painting that penetrates like lightning. Confronting this, Corinne activates her trump card.

狡蛇奧義 (狡蛇奧義)

Three attacks of penetrating spears. An oil painting drawing an arc like a gymnast doing a high jump avoiding a spear shot like a ghost. Its shape is elegant, as if it has no weight.

“Suck…!”

The moment Yuhwa landed lightly on the ground after catching her breath and preoccupied Korin’s back——

Hoecheon Implant (廻天二式) Hoema Spear (回魔槍).

A tricky surprise attack that is swung around by the enemy behind you. The very moment when the spear was about to be lifted up while digging up the humus soil.

-Pak!

“Remnants of skill.”

Her right foot strikes the spear’s neck. A spear blade stuck in the ground.

“·······?!”

The surprise attack of the spleen was blocked. Then, all that was left was the defenseless spearman’s back. A thunderbolt-like sword pierced his back to stab him.

『ᚲ』─ Kennaz.

At that moment, flames erupted from beneath the two of them.

A runestone that was spilled in advance at the first sum of exchanges of attacks. Because it was triggered by the silver spear.

“Chit…!”

Oil painting jumps to avoid the rising flames. Corinne, who did not miss this and pursued it, poured in points.

However, Yuhwa was already preparing for the secret sword as soon as he landed.

────!!

fleeting moment. A treasured sword that strikes as if cutting off the head of a poisonous snake and the head of a dragon.

Double Sided Dragon Blood Temple

Doryonggeombeop (屠龍劍法) implantation true dragon.

────?!

The conflict between the two parties was 1 second.

Seven sums for them to collide fiercely as if they couldn’t stop even if their deadly blows collided. The waves of colliding auras blow the two away.

Corinne bounced off the ground and an oil painting bounced into the air.

Corinne, barely kneeling down, looks up at the oil painting, which is lightly seated on a tree branch that is likely to be less than 1cm tall.

The faces of the two did not hide their displeasure.

It is a deadly herbivore that each other read as a victory flag. You probably didn’t think that they would offset each other so perfectly that they couldn’t even scratch each other.

The swordsman and spearman, who unintentionally widened their distance, quietly glared at each other. In the end, it was oil painting that brought up the question.

“Why are you guarding that child?”

“What do you mean? I’m a kidnapper?”

“・・・・・・puns. I am her cousin.”

“Oh~ Can I tell you the ransom price now? I’ll think about it if it’s 100 million platinum coins.”

Ignoring the words of the self-proclaimed kidnapper, Yuhwa continued with a distorted expression.

“That’s the monster that stole my brother’s body. You’re not meant to pity him. Corinne Locke.”

“······Ah, it’s a kidnapper. Immortan.”

“It’s not common to see a spearman like you. Did you really think you could fake it?”

Corinne didn’t answer. He has no intention of admitting his identity.

“It’s not a human, it’s a monster. It’s a savage and cruel yaksha. You probably don’t know about the tragedy of the Moon Night Castle.”

every know

loser of the east. A disaster in which one of the imperial castles was ruined. It is an incident in which tens of thousands of people were massacred by a single Dutchman.

Right now, Shin Sa-hyeok is the victim. She lost her sister and mother, and Kang Yoo-hwa lost her younger brother to the fire that entered her cousin’s body.

“There is a separate person responsible, but the lower ones are fighting in the mud.”

“I beg your pardon?”

“Nothing.”

Corinne didn’t believe she could convince her here. Even if he unlocks the information he knows through game knowledge, it’s just empty words without evidence.

“Kang Yoo-hwa. You know what?”

“·······?”

“Dojangs in this neighborhood are very bloody. Aren’t they breaking the dojang and making a fuss?”

“What is that…”

Energy in the form of an aura shot out as bladed wind.

Did you know that seagulls are just beach chickens?

Yuhwa, noticing the attack, jumped on the footstool and jumped, but the blizzard aimed from the beginning was the tree branch that served as her footing.

-Pak!

broken twig. Yuhwa gently landed on the ground as if nothing had happened, but her expression was not good.

“······Arisha Arden.”

A candidate for successor to Aden, a master of swordsmanship. Arisha Arden was walking slowly.

“Very frankly…”

“Ah, Arisha Aden, the master of Arisha’s dojo! I’m challenging Boramae’s sword master, Kang Yoo-hwa, swordsman!”

“what···?”

An outrageous duel request. Kang Yoo-hwa was at a loss for words at that brazenly explicit intention.

“Hey~ As expected, swordsmen have different ideas! Asking for a duel in a remote place like this? You’re passionate!”

“This, this makes sense…”

“President Kang Yoo-hwa! I always respected Joe! Please teach me something!”

Arisha has already pulled out her sword and rushes. While blocking the sword, Yuhwa inflicted bitter criticism.

“You think this will work!”

“Mr. Kidnapper you don’t know who you are! Look at your work!”

“Oh, I can’t thank you so much. Then, the two of you, have a good time! Enough for me!”

“Coryn Locke ugh…!!”

The shrieking wails resounding in the forest did not reach Immortan Locke, who was covered in blood.

······

············

······

“Uh, uh… I lost, I lost.”

The outcome of the duel was disastrous. The defeat of Arisha Arden.

There was also a difference in ability between the two, but it was because Arisha readily admitted defeat without fighting to the end.

“Well, then I’m done!”

Arisha, who awkwardly greets her and quickly runs away, wondering if she is as brazen as Corinne. Seeing her, Yuhwa sheds a sigh.

“how······.”

Hey. do you know that snakes are bald?

Now, even if they were chasing them, the distance was too wide.

The monster forest outside Merkava City is vast. If you pursue it alone, you will easily get lost.

-Quarreung!

In addition, rain clouds accompanied by thunder and lightning began to gather.

Hey. do you know that snakes are bald?

No matter how much she is a knight, it is not a good way to chase in the forest in this weather.

“First of all, to Uncle Kang Ryun…”

“There is a separate person responsible, but the lower ones are fighting in the mud.”

His meaningful words came to mind on the way back. What the heck did that mean?

* * * *

A forest of darkness.

-Quarreung! Kwak!

The sound of rain accompanied by lightning strikes.

Fortunately, it was not accompanied by a gust of wind, but the civilized people who visited the savage forest were soaked.

“Whoa… I should say that I caught the blade well, or I didn’t.”

In terms of escape, this downpour is helpful. It will hinder the keen senses of the guards and knights who will be mobilized to pursue the kidnappers.

The search schedule itself may be delayed because the water droplets hitting the floor are enough to sting your ears.

However, if it is unfortunate, the condition of the hostage, who is in the position of being kidnapped, is not very good.

“Are you okay?”

“·······.”

There is not a single word of acknowledgment. Rainwater and sweat are now mixed together, so it is difficult to tell what is sweat and what is rainwater.

“Take some heat.”

He sweeps up Hwaran’s hair, who exhales with a hazy expression. It’s quite hot when I touch my forehead with the back of my hand.

“You have a bit of a fever.”

I took out the Mariese Elixir from my bag.

“Open your mouth.”

From noble mtl dot com

Support the back of Hwaran’s neck with his left arm and pour the elixir.

Hwaran barely opened her mouth and handed over the elixir, like a baby bird receiving insects from its mother.

“That’s right, that’s right. Skip it.”

“You’re noisy.”

After accepting the elixir, it seems that his condition has improved a little.

this is a temporary solution. This condition won’t last very long unless you find a place to shelter from the rain.

“you······.”

“Huh? Would you like something to eat?”

“······blood.”

Hwaran’s gaze turned to my bloodstained right arm.

“Never mind. I’m already healed.”

The ability to regenerate is very convenient in a place like this.

“First of all, let’s avoid the rain. There must be a shelter nearby.”

“… in a place like this?”

All directions are full of old trees that are hundreds of years old.

These old trees, which couldn’t even be knocked down by an ax, were the reason Merkava City expressed embarrassment about logging.

“It’s where monsters live. There’s a way for everything.”

I walked through the dark forest holding a fire and found a suitable old tree. An old tree that was dug up in a large size, as if it had been eaten by a huge insect.

This is the case I was looking for.

“This area is the habitat of Owlbears. In places where there are no proper caves around, Owlbears dig up large trees like this to make their nests.”

To the guardians who travel to and from the monster’s forest, it’s like a piece of common sense passed on orally.

In the first place, the fact that Owlbears live is a habitat for monsters, so they teach you to jump out quickly, but this time, you can use it as a shelter from the rain.

“Is it quite wide?”

It’s a place where Owl Bears live, so the inside is quite spacious. There is plenty of space even if I and Hwaran enter.

“······I won’t fall down.”

Hwaran comes into an old tree whose interior has been completely dug up and has questions.

“Old trees that Owlbears make their nests have long, multi-pronged roots, so it’s okay to dig up the bottom. It’s the wisdom of the beast.”

dark entrance. I was going to engrave a rune to reveal the inside, but I don’t think there’s any need to provoke the monsters in the forest.

If you’re lucky, the owner of this nest will return, so wait until then.

-Shuaaaa!

– Kwareung!

In the forest where strong dark clouds and moonlight do not penetrate well. The occasional flash of lightning was a precious light to distinguish the surroundings.

– Kwareung!

A flash of light flashed once, and the light that came inside caught Hwaran’s complexion in his eyes. It’s a moment, but the complexion is still not good. It proved that the trembling body felt the cold even with the skin in contact.

“I can’t.”

As I spurned my seat, I could feel Hwaran’s eyes on me.

“Where······.”

“To catch the bear.”

“why······.”

It’s just to cover the skin. There are quite a few Owl Bears around here, so you should be able to find them soon.

-Kwook

It was then. Hwaran grabbed the hem of my trousers as I stood up from my seat.

– Kwareung!

Lightning strikes and light leaks in. The girl with a pale complexion is trembling all over as if she is frightened.

“······don’t go.”

Hwaran, wearing a wet nun’s uniform, was looking up at me with a desperate gaze.
