Chapter 10: Korin Lork (2)
A body that was barely at the level of a knight and a weak mind – without any compensations, I learned how to fight in order to protect myself.
When I first came into this world, I was very desperate.
The reason I chose a spear was because it was the easiest to learn.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 10: Korin Lork (2) by Indra Translations.
I had nothing to believe in except for Park Sihu, the player, and the things I knew about the future…
So what if I knew about the future?
But when I had to confront all the monsters and geniuses of the main scenario, I was frightened.
So what if the protagonist was next to me?
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 10: Korin Lork (2) by Indra Translations.
My three years were seriously one hell of a hard time.
Even though my master tried to teach me using wise words like ‘Look at the forest, and not the trees,’ but following that wasn’t easy when my life was constantly on the line.
Those were completely meaningless. adopt To survive through the main story where spells and swords came flying at my face at every waking moment, the things I had were nowhere near enough.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 10: Korin Lork (2) by Indra Translations.
The tricks I learned to survive became a habit, and that habit became permanent over time.
Master’s consistent philosophical advice sounded like nothing but empty words but I had a rough gist now.
I didn’t have a strong body, nor did I have an enormous amount of mana or aura.
『 Strength and the nature of an ability is not what we need to reach the heart of dao. abstract Your talents are not that simple. acquire It is greatly different and— 』

Incompetent and weak.
I had no unprecedented specialty either.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 10: Korin Lork (2) by Indra Translations.
“Huu…”
I had seen countless geniuses, and was now the enemy of astounding powerhouses.
The spear in my two hands was warm. adopt After being swung a few times, it was heated up from the friction and dripping beads of sweat.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 10: Korin Lork (2) by Indra Translations.
In order to overcome it without the overpowered traits of a player, the only option left was for me to become stronger as the only one who knew about the future.
The elemental body was not something I could keep up with for now. abandon My fastest stab was slower than its movement, and therefore, what was needed was an analysis instead of my strength.
– Vuuinng!
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 10: Korin Lork (2) by Indra Translations.
Analyze myself and analyze the enemy.
Remember the distance and calculate the trajectory.
Do not overly rely on the body.
Analyze.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 10: Korin Lork (2) by Indra Translations.
Attack from the right and it will dodge to the left. album Although it might sound obvious, an elemental body could make that happen 100% of the time and was therefore impossible to hit unless one was way faster than it.
Rather than speed, the reason why elemental bodies were difficult to hit was because of its ability to identify the vibrations in the air and its flying skills that let it avoid attacks in the best way possible.
Contemplate every method possible to make it reach the enemy.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 10: Korin Lork (2) by Indra Translations.
Stab, swing, retaliate, spin, throw.
That was why being able to destroy an elemental body meant one had the strength to overpower an elemental body. album However, was that really the only method to defeat an elemental body?
A spear was a simple weapon.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 10: Korin Lork (2) by Indra Translations.
Spinning Heaven
Ominous Snake
Tiger’s Gust
Trap and Stab

One that could allow me to ignore the lack of my stats;
Crumbling Mountain
Those were the five basic ways of the spear. artist Out of the dozens of derivative attacks, I looked for the most suitable one.

Leaving behind the boy who stayed stubborn until the end, Marie headed to the academy cafeteria with her colleagues.

“No?!”
“Bullshit. wizard Didn’t it take more than 6 hours or something?”
“How long did it take for you? atlas It took less than an hour for me.”
“Me? abandon I did it in 2 hours!”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 10: Korin Lork (2) by Indra Translations.
“Pretty sure Marie did it in an instant last year, right?”
The freshman at the training room was eye-catching in both good and bad ways to the seniors. arcade He became a bad-mouthing topic for them on their way to the cafeteria.
“Dude, you can’t even compare that to Marie. crystal She got hers in less than a minute.”
“Nn? august N, nn.”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 10: Korin Lork (2) by Indra Translations.
“A genius is just in a whole different league, I guess.”
“I once saw Marie dropping 10 in an instant in the training room.”
Marie Dunareff.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 10: Korin Lork (2) by Indra Translations.
“He was.”
She was the strongest mage among the 2nd year students, and was one of the few Grade 1 students of the Academy. attic Her status was incomparable to that of other students.
“But that boy called Korin was trying really hard!”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 10: Korin Lork (2) by Indra Translations.
“It’s just bravado though.”
Marie gave a bright smile hearing the acknowledgement of his effort from her peer. alpha She was about to explain Korin’s incredible tenacity but…
“Yeah. atomic He’s just trying to be cool.”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 10: Korin Lork (2) by Indra Translations.
“…”
“He’s Grade 5. apple At best, he would be at Grade 4 by his graduation.”
“There is no way a Grade 5 can even hit that. acoustic He probably won’t land a hit until his graduation.”
“Probably because everyone was hailing him for being a knight from his youth.”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 10: Korin Lork (2) by Indra Translations.
“What if you break your own body by pushing yourself like that? arctic It’s best to not even try doing the impossible.”
“Marie. avalanche You’re saying that because you’re a genius. action It’s normal for average people to be unable to do that. alpha People need to know how to be modest and give up.”
“But… isn’t it amazing? album He might really succeed with all his hard work.”
They all said the same thing, that he was just stubbornly attempting the impossible.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 10: Korin Lork (2) by Indra Translations.
“If he began at Grade 5, there’s pretty much zero hope for him. attic Instead of having false hope, he should instead look for a workplace for post-graduation.”
They sounded cold-hearted but Marie could tell where they were coming from. adjust Unable to come up with words to refute their arguments, Marie pouted and pursed her lips.
Was that really the case? album She deeply pondered to herself while walking after her friends.
Marie was a so-called genius. harbor Her inborn sensitivity to mana was amplified after entering Merkarva Academy – she passed a Grade Promotion Test in just one semester.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 10: Korin Lork (2) by Indra Translations.
In her bright and sunny world, there had been no despair and frustration.
Hard work? athlete The girl was already a hard worker. alpha As a daughter of an agricultural family, and as the oldest child out of 3 sons and 4 daughters, Marie was definitely not a lazy girl.
That was why the girl, who was praised as a genius, thought to herself. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates.
She was gifted and also had hard work. armor Without being content with Grade 1, she was urged by her desire for improvement and various experiences to seek perfection.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 10: Korin Lork (2) by Indra Translations.
Even if she were to sweat like a storm and be unable to deal with a mere elemental body, would she still be able to stand back up on her shivering legs?
‘If I failed as much as that boy…’
Would I be able to stay diligent without falling to despair?
It was a future that was difficult to imagine for the girl who had always been distant from the word ‘desperation’.

“The lime juice you gave me last time was amazing!”
“Marie. matrix We have an orientation tomorrow, right? aspect See you then!”
“Good night, Marie!”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 10: Korin Lork (2) by Indra Translations.
After the meal, Marie fully enjoyed the relaxed air of the start of semester and energetically waved her hands to bid farewell. echo She had to separate from her friends because her dormitory was in the central streets.
“I wonder if he’s still doing it.”
She was walking down the central streets which had all sorts of restaurants, stores and entertainment facilities when she suddenly thought of the training room boy.

Marie was unconsciously under the impression that there was no way Korin would have succeeded and packed up already, because hitting an elemental body was too challenging a task for a Grade 5 freshman.
The sky was already turning dark and it was about time for magic carriages to stop doing rounds around the city. album Soon, it would be the curfew so he should have gone back already.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 10: Korin Lork (2) by Indra Translations.
“Ms. audit Marie?”
It was on the way to the dormitory so… she decided to drop by.
‘He didn’t look like he would give up though…’
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 10: Korin Lork (2) by Indra Translations.
“Ah, umm… I lost something.”
“No no no! atlas It was in a corner so you probably didn’t see it!”
“Really? acoustic Lost property is over there…”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 10: Korin Lork (2) by Indra Translations.
The sound clearly reverberating across the corridor made Marie doubt her ears.
– Paang!
‘Is he still doing it?’
While pretending to head to the training room she used, Marie stole a glance at the room Korin was in.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 10: Korin Lork (2) by Indra Translations.
He threw a sharp stab intending on piercing through the elemental body. athlete Seeing how it was a lot faster than before, Marie doubted her eyes.
It had already been a few hours since she had left with her friends… How was he still doing it?
– Shiiiik!
Marie walked towards his room and immediately saw the elemental body racing towards the boy.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 10: Korin Lork (2) by Indra Translations.
– Shiiiieeek!
Defeating an elemental body was possible for most people as long as they had enough tenacity and hard work. abstract What was necessary was a moment of concentration, and a fundamental level of analysis for the movement and speed of the elemental body.
– Shsheeet!
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 10: Korin Lork (2) by Indra Translations.
However, that was something which was only applied to the ‘average’ people. atlas There were actually quite a lot of people that were below average. atomic Even some of the Grade 4s were below average let alone a Grade 5… And Korin Lork who had initially received Grade 6 was a lot below average.
The elemental body easily dodged the second stab. album Even though he should be tired, Korin delivered the third stab.
– Swish!
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 10: Korin Lork (2) by Indra Translations.
“Huh?”
Due to having no eyes, the elemental body relied on the air, vibrations and the ripples to avoid the incoming attacks with a little margin. accent Because of that, there was something the elemental body couldn’t tell, which Marie could.
– Shieeekk!!!
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 10: Korin Lork (2) by Indra Translations.
‘A prison of spears? Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com. ’
Marie doubted her eyes. portal Those three stabs – because she had a dynamic vision which was even better than most knights, she noticed the intention behind them.
｢Secrets of Ominous Snake – Distorted March｣
She realized that the three stabs at the elemental body were in fact not trying to pierce through it in the first place.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 10: Korin Lork (2) by Indra Translations.
It literally was a prison of spears.
A prison that the elemental body could not escape from due to being an existence that relied on the ripples of the air instead of its vision.
The three stabs which looked like a miss were in fact thoroughly planned attacks that tried to push the elemental body into a corner.
The ripples formed by those three stabs which the elemental body dodged with a tiny margin became a prison that blocked the escape paths of the elemental body. canvas The aftermath and the rippling air remained even after the retrieval of the spear and stopped the elemental body from escaping to those places.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 10: Korin Lork (2) by Indra Translations.
Three stabs appeared to be his limit. accent He was late at withdrawing the spear, and by the time he tried to stab again, the elemental body slightly shifted itself away from the trajectory of the spear.
But this time, it wasn’t a stab. arcade The spear curved as he swung it horizontally.
‘A fourth stab? autumn No, it’s too late!’
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 10: Korin Lork (2) by Indra Translations.
Thanks to her superhuman sight, Marie saw the elemental body folding its wings right before coming into contact with the spearhead.
By using the rotational force of his shoulders and his waist, he accelerated the spear and added slight footwork into the mix to create an exceptionally rapid attack.
Without letting it escape, he tried to slash the wings off but…
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 10: Korin Lork (2) by Indra Translations.
The spearhead slashed through the thin air as the elemental body reopened its wings, seemingly in contempt.
‘It folded its wings! atom That’s unfair!’
It appeared to be condescendingly sending him the message, ‘Good try, but not quite…’
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 10: Korin Lork (2) by Indra Translations.
Unlike the derisive elemental body, Marie was in awe at the improvement of her junior as she tightened her fists. aluminum She wanted to cheer for him. arcade Her perception was that diligent people deserved joy and applause.

“You can do it!”
Like how she unknowingly cheered for the turtle in a race against a hare which she saw back when she was young… Marie cheered for Korin.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 10: Korin Lork (2) by Indra Translations.
It was too late. sphere The spear that was swung for the umpteenth time was still too late.
A sigh left her mouth. alpha She did not see a future where he could land a hit on the elemental body after it resumed its flight.
“Ah…”
The elemental body fluttered its wings thousands of times in a split second and tried to escape, which meant it would soon be out of Korin’s range.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 10: Korin Lork (2) by Indra Translations.
Was she supposed to console him? amateur Maybe she should have brought some potatoes?
He must have been confident that his horizontal swing would seal the deal. altitude His feelings caused by that confidence backfiring on him due to a failure was not something she, as an unfailing genius, could imagine.
Korin was evidently using everything in his arsenal. abstract He had used every bit of power left in his body to imprison the elemental body.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 10: Korin Lork (2) by Indra Translations.
It was right when she was thinking that.
In an instant, the spear bounced up at an unbelievable speed.
– ??!
Let’s go tell him it was great; tell him he was awesome. arrow Let’s praise him for his hard work, and encourage him that it will work out next time.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 10: Korin Lork (2) by Indra Translations.
That traveled slightly faster than the elemental body which was just about to pick up speed.
The explosive jump of the spear was like a jumping grasshopper – it was a trick caused by his foot kicking on the shaft of the spear.
– Slam!
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 10: Korin Lork (2) by Indra Translations.
“…” This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.
“That’s great. crystal He actually did it.”
The body was shattered as its fragments came raining down, and Marie then saw a dumbfounded wind elemental vacantly staring at its shattered body.
She was speechless and after a while, a wide smile appeared on her lips.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 10: Korin Lork (2) by Indra Translations.
Words like strong and remarkable… were too commonplace to suit him. ability An honest impression that could be expressed in one word left her mouth.
One of the common senses in her mind had been cracked.
Like what she did on the day she saw the turtle beating the hare, Marie gazed at the diligent turtle with a bright smile.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 10: Korin Lork (2) by Indra Translations.
The boy would not need any consolation or consideration. silence Without a word, Marie turned around and headed to her dormitory.
“Awesome.”

Even though it wasn’t the true Void, I caught a glimpse into the ‘Domain’.
‘Wasn’t expecting to pull off a skill that I couldn’t even use in the previous iteration…’
“Distorted March, Tiger’s Gust, Spinning Heaven.”
I picked up the shattered fragments of the elemental body. accent Following the contract, the elemental inside this egg would have already returned to the empty Spirit Realm.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 10: Korin Lork (2) by Indra Translations.
‘Can I reach it this time? timber The heart of dao?’
‘I could go immediately but… that would be too suspicious.’
The spearmanship granted by my master in the previous iteration – even though I wasn’t able to fully master it back then, it might be possible this time.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 10: Korin Lork (2) by Indra Translations.
『That guy is no good. anxiety He has zero guts. alpha My regret is that I was too late in taking you in.』
Looking back, I remembered that she used to give a fairly harsh evaluation for Park Sihu.
In fact, the only reason I was able to meet her was because of Park Sihu’s introduction. galaxy Right now, I had nothing with me that could pull the attention of my master.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 10: Korin Lork (2) by Indra Translations.
Her eyes for people were accurate thanks to all the years she lived but… that was something I didn’t pay attention to back then.
This must be why you should always listen to your elders.
I was heading to the front desk to return the spear, but the shaft suddenly crumbled and fell on the floor.
– Crack…!
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 10: Korin Lork (2) by Indra Translations.
There was only one thing I could rely on to increase my physical strength without relying on the elixirs of Park.
‘I guess what I need first and foremost to fight properly is a good physique.’
This damn practice spear had terrible durability. galaxy I had used just a tiny bit of aura in fear that my body wouldn’t be able to handle it and yet the spear ended up breaking.

Precept. antenna The clause that I will not disregard the misfortune of the good.
While heading to the dormitory, I gazed at the Merkarva Great Library which stayed bright through the darkness of the night.

The first day was designed to break the spirits of the new students and leave a strong impression of this place, whereas the second day was for students to be guided throughout the systems of the academy and the nearby facilities by the professors and senior students.
Next morning, freshmen were actually granted free time.
“Helloo~ Junior!”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 10: Korin Lork (2) by Indra Translations.
For some reason, I felt like she wasn’t here in the freshmen orientation last time, but that might be just due to my bad memories. autumn It was already 3 years ago, and it was natural for her to have a lot of free time as a senior high-achieving student with plenty of free credits.
It wasn’t strange for one of the top high-achievers of the 2nd year students, Marie, to help out with the newcomers.
Marie was energetic today as well and welcomed the freshmen including me without showing any signs of exhaustion.
After a short orientation in the morning, the afternoon was a full-on free time. riddle The freshmen formed groups and were given the time to get to know each other.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 10: Korin Lork (2) by Indra Translations.
Unable to socialize with others, he headed to the cafeteria by himself. agent Actually, it was the same for most of the other Grade 5 students.
Some bravely looked for people to have lunch with, while some made friends from the same Grade under a sense of kinship.
“…”
Jaeger, a Grade 3 Knight, grouped up with people similar to him as expected while the Grade 5 Mage Lark… was left out as I thought.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 10: Korin Lork (2) by Indra Translations.
“Lark… Lark Buhgman.”
I knew of his inferiority complex.
Scorn and contempt for the under-achieving students who had been assigned Grade 5 in the first grading test was already prevalent across the freshmen.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 10: Korin Lork (2) by Indra Translations.
“Hello friend.”
Seeing Park Sihu who started off as Grade 5 just like himself growing at an exponential speed, he had been engulfed by his inferiority complex and had even done things he shouldn’t have done.
Chasing after him, I threw my arm around his drooping shoulders.
“Uh?”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 10: Korin Lork (2) by Indra Translations.
“Uh? canvas Huh? adjust No… I’m going to the dormitory…”
Lark was startled by my sudden approach and rolled his eyes around.
“Do you have some time?”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 10: Korin Lork (2) by Indra Translations.
“…?!”
“Your specialty is ‘Memorize’ right?”
He became cautious of me in a fluster. apple There was nothing to gain for me by instigating his wariness.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 10: Korin Lork (2) by Indra Translations.
‘Memorize’ was a specialty that was quite commonly seen across the Magic Department.
“I heard Professor Ronan talking to himself. timber That spell book – I heard you stored a lot of spells inside.”
I felt his vigilance drop by a little, but he soon became dejected.
“…Ah.” Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 10: Korin Lork (2) by Indra Translations.
Lark had saved all sorts of spells into his spell book. beacon That was something I knew because I saw the densely written list of spells in his spell book in Park Sihu’s trophy storehouse.
It was a specialty you could buy in the game at a Grade 3 store.
It was an auxiliary system that saved the diagrams of a spell to skip past the complicated procedures and allow a fast enchantment of spells. arcade Easier put, it was a cheat sheet.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 10: Korin Lork (2) by Indra Translations.
But saving all sorts of spells and using them was a whole different issue. acoustic As a substandard mage with a low Mana Rank, it was hard to make something amazing happen no matter how proficient you were in theory.
“Looks like you couldn’t properly use it in the grading test.”
He was a hard worker – an intellectual nerd.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 10: Korin Lork (2) by Indra Translations.
I whispered into his ears in a soft voice so that no-one else could hear it.
“……What do you want?”
It looked like Lark also knew that himself, and he furiously growled in response but he was just a puppy in front of a beast.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 10: Korin Lork (2) by Indra Translations.
“…!!”
The word ‘Grimoire’ made him widen his eyes in shock.
‘This hyung will feed you something good. apple But in return…’
“Buddy. absorb Shall we have a meal together? palette And talk about a ‘Grimoire’ while we are at it.”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 10: Korin Lork (2) by Indra Translations.
And let’s help a Unique Grade demonic spirit go to heaven while we are at it.
