“There are a lot of underaged people here, so please hold back on alcohol,” I told her.

“Hoh? accent But were you not drinking just fine at our…”

Alicia’s got-well party progressed without a problem.

The only semi-complaint that we got against the food Marie, Hua Ran and I had prepared was from Lunia, who complained that there was no alcohol in the party.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 139: Korin Guardians (2) by Indra Translations.

“Fine. advance I will prepare the drinks myself.”

“Ehem! arctic What are you saying in front of these little kids!? anchor Do you mind a drink later?”

A drinking plan with one of my few adult acquaintances was a rare and precious opportunity for me considering how hard it was for me to access alcohol.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 139: Korin Guardians (2) by Indra Translations.

“Uhh, Korin… Are you going to drink?”

Marie, seemed to have heard the secret discussion that went on between Lunia and me, and said while sitting next to me. autumn Was she going to get mad?

“Kuhum… Did you hear that, Senior Marie?”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 139: Korin Guardians (2) by Indra Translations.

“Can I join if you’re going to drink?”

“I’m an adult starting from this year, didn’t you know?”

“What?”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 139: Korin Guardians (2) by Indra Translations.

Oh right. apple This year, Marie was turning 19, which was an adult according to the laws of the kingdom. antenna I was caught up with the image of everyone being students, but the 3rd year students of this Academy were all adults.

“Can you make alcohol with potatoes?”

“Did you know, in the South, we have the tradition of using the first potatoes of that year to make alcohol!”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 139: Korin Guardians (2) by Indra Translations.

“Ohhh…”

As someone who had been through the physical education college and the military, I was confident I could enjoy any drink, so long as it wasn’t a somaek[mfn] Somaek = A Korean word for soju and maekju (beer). august Essentially soju mixed with beer.[/mfn] with a burnt cigarette dipped inside.

“Yes! riddle You put yeast in steamed potatoes and ferment it.”

“Our dark beer is also pretty impressive. altitude It is one of our few specialties. agent We only export a few of them because it happens to be a favorite of our horses.”

It was very interesting seeing horses indulging themselves in dark beer. aluminum Due to the large number of horses being raised in the East, they appeared to have gotten better at crafting dark beers in order to feed the horses.

I remembered hearing something about how beer was amazing for horses who had the illness of being unable to sweat.

“Ah. august I remember you showing me that before.”

Instinctively, I realized that I had to choose one of the two. amber None of them insisted, but it was going to be awkward no matter who I chose. athlete After a while, Lunia kindly stood up and left us behind.

“Hmm…”

“Sorry… I was being too childish, right?”

“K, kuhum…!”

Lunia walked away so that things wouldn’t turn awkward. alien Thank you very much for your consideration!

“Ugh…!”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 139: Korin Guardians (2) by Indra Translations.

I replied while patting her head. canvas Her silky strands of hair were pleasant to touch.

“Let’s say it’s something I have to bear as someone blessed with a big fortune.”

Marie said while sneaking glances at me with a depressed look on her face as if she was afraid of being hated by me. amateur Finding that cute, I opened my mouth.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 139: Korin Guardians (2) by Indra Translations.

She and I became even closer after that incident. altitude It might be because of my sense of guilt but more than anything…

“You can lean on me if you want to… you know?”

“Hehe…”

“Yeah… Hey R, Ran.”

“Are you enjoying the party, oppa?”

That was when a plate fell crashing down on the table in front of us. august I turned to the table in surprise and noticed Hua Ran… or rather, Ran, gazing down at us with a smile on her face.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 139: Korin Guardians (2) by Indra Translations.

Hmm…

Ran sat on my left, on the other side of Marie, and snuck closer in. echo Unlike Hua, she was very skilled at deboning the fish.

“R, right.”

“Can I sit next to you? alpha Oh right, see this? afford This is the fish I cooked.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 139: Korin Guardians (2) by Indra Translations.

“N, no…”

Thankfully, Ran had a completely different atmosphere to Hua, and it therefore wasn’t unbearably weird or anything. altitude Even her eyes…

Seeing her do that with the same face as Hua, who always waited for me to finish removing the bones of her fish while doing nothing but stare at my face, felt rather strange. crystal Even as I watched her do that, I felt an urge to help her with the process.

“Oppa. beacon Are you dating anyone right now?”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 139: Korin Guardians (2) by Indra Translations.

“Yeah…”

As soon as I opened my mouth to reply to her question, she shoved a small piece of the fish into my mouth. apple Then, she looked up into my eyes with an amiable and wide smile hanging on her lips.

“Here.”

“So, I’m not too late then.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 139: Korin Guardians (2) by Indra Translations.

Every time, Ran’s aggressive and daring proactiveness made it difficult for me to know what I was supposed to do in response. zenith She had a charm that was completely different to Marie… It’s a bit, a bit weird, you know!

“Would you like some more?”

As the recipient of Marie and Ran’s undeserved love and attention, I knew I had to make a decision one day but…

“Well, we made all of them together so anything’s fine, right?”

“Oppa. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates. acquire There’s a lot of food. airport Which one would you like to have first?”

Ran suggested I eat more fish with the same wide smile on her face. aluminum For some reason, it felt like her eyes were facing the person behind me, and I could only hope that it was an illusion.

“Korin. timber I made that blood sausage over there.”

“Oh. adjust Sounds good. arcade Let’s give it a shot then.”

“Don’t try to weave your way out of this. ability By the way, that lamb skewer over there is something I made.”

Korin Lork. 18 years old.

That was how sharp a person I was. abstract I even read like 3 romance novels throughout my life, okay? aluminum I knew my way around things.

Other things I could not say with certainty, but what I could say for sure was that I was amazing at reading the mood. advance If I were to choose someone here, I could imagine the severe imbalance it would cause on this fickle battlefront of love.

I sent a telepathic message to Alicia, who was roaming around the tables of food in the distance!

‘Aliciaaaaaaa…!’

“Uuun?”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 139: Korin Guardians (2) by Indra Translations.

After looking into my eyes, Alicia quickly came running while carrying a plate of a massive piece of meat.

“Ah…!”

Alicia, who was chewing on a mouthful of meat, suddenly looked back at me. acid We’re best buddies aren’t we?! action I know you’ll understand what I’m trying to say with my eyes!

Did she figure out what I was saying?

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 139: Korin Guardians (2) by Indra Translations.

Looking back, I remembered something similar happening a few times even in my last iteration. advance Back then, it wasn’t something to do with love and relationships but the method I used to escape from those ordeals was by choosing to eat Bastard Sihu’s food… Goodness gracious! afford So I’ve been digging my own grave the whole time!!

I was running out of time, and I had to choose fast. alert Oh dear. atomic Why do I have to go through such hardships…!

Et tu, Alicia…!

That was when a tiny hand pulled my clothes from the back. meadow Turning around, I found Ren looking up at me.

“Boss.”

“I brought chicken. accent I felt bad coming here empty-handed. ability Would you like some?”

“Nn?”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 139: Korin Guardians (2) by Indra Translations.

She gave a curt reply, but I had never felt so grateful in my life.

“Stop treating me like a kid.”

“Ohh, sure. galaxy Of course I will eat what Little Ren got for me!”

In her minute hand was a chicken drumstick. album She seemed to have bought it at Mr. avalanche Yoon’s chicken shop nearby.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 139: Korin Guardians (2) by Indra Translations.

When I received the drumstick from her hands and started rubbing my face on her cheeks, Ren started shouting that in contempt. atlas That was when Ron dashed towards us from afar.

“Ahh! atom Don’t rub your face on me! adopt What’s wrong with you!?”

“You adorable little girl!”

“Bro! autumn Broo~! advance This tastes amazing! atlas Did you make it?”

Looking around, I noticed that we were starting to run out of food and decided to refill some of the tables.”

Ron had grown up a lot compared to Ren, who still looked like a 10-year-old, and looked around 14. abandon He was pretty darn handsome.

“Ron, huh. orbit Have as much as you want. matrix We have more than enough… Ah.”

Huu…

Some might call me a coward but this was a strategic retreat. admire After quickly running away from the girls, I stayed holed up inside the kitchen for a very long time.

“It’s going to appear like I’m two-timing if I do this wrong.”

“Look at this guy. antique He still has no clue.”

“Huu… Two, huh. acoustic It’s too much.”

I was cooking with a sigh, when Jaeger and Lark, who came into the kitchen trying to scavenge for food, suddenly started looking at me like I was beyond help.

“Let him be. auction Let’s see how long it’s going to take.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 139: Korin Guardians (2) by Indra Translations.

Hearing me say that, everyone turned their eyes towards me. august The reason I invited Master, Josephine and outsiders like Lunia and the Five Swords as well as my peers from the Academy; Dorron, Yuel, Kranel, Jaeger, and Lark, was because I wanted to discuss the future.

“The reason I have invited you all is to explain the grand objective of us, ‘Korin Guardians’, and to talk about the future we are heading for.”

“Hmm~.”

“Well, listen up for now. attic This is going to be a good source of income for you as well, vice-captain of Warsky.”

From the other side of the table, Dorron Warsky with his clean and tidy appearance interjected. canvas He was one of the first members I hired from our peers.

“I’m here for the money, but I surely wasn’t expecting you to be the type of person to say things like that, boss.”

“Things like this will only keep happening from now on. arcade This is not a prediction that I’m making, but a predestined fact. acoustic The Tower of Mages, the Old Faith… Whoever it is, they will continue attacking and messing around with Merkarva Academy.”

That was when Golem Mage Kranel carefully raised his hand.

I then started talking about the wicked man Valtazar, the goal they wanted to achieve, and also told them that our objective was to stand against them.

“Why… us?”

“Umm…”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 139: Korin Guardians (2) by Indra Translations.

“Great question. galaxy There are two main reasons, with the first being that we can’t trust them.”

It was a short yet profound question. meadow The first of his doubts was probably a question on why we were the ones that had to save the world. galaxy Considering how there were the royal family, the Guardian Alliance and the New Faith, it was understandable for him to question whether it was right for mere students like us to involve ourselves.

The royal family… Unfortunately, it wasn’t an overstatement to say that most of the people in the royal family were under the influence of Princess Miruam.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 139: Korin Guardians (2) by Indra Translations.

Due to her role as the saintess, Princess Estelle usually stayed at the Grand Chapel of Zeon instead of the capital and refrained from attending to worldly politics. armor She didn’t even have a great ambition for the throne in the first place and was simply being forced to her position by her surroundings. amber It was thus inevitable for her to have less influence than Princess Miruam in the royal court.

The same was true for the Guardian Alliance. arcade Something that would happen later down the line was the division of the Guardian Alliance before the final battle. crystal Like remnant Nazi soldiers that spread out wide unbeknownst to everyone else, there were hidden spies everywhere.

On the other hand, Princess Miruam involved herself in internal matters, actively increased the size of her faction and was in control of the nobles as well. alert We could not trust anyone that was under the command of the royal family.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 139: Korin Guardians (2) by Indra Translations.

“Huh?”

And lastly, the New Faith. portal Although this was an allied faction of the player, they were also rather difficult to trust, because the pope himself was a traitor.

The conclusion I came to after the last iteration was that there was no one in the Alliance that was worthy of our trust, except for a small number of the named characters.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 139: Korin Guardians (2) by Indra Translations.

“What…?”

“That can’t be!”

A few of them strongly retaliated as if they were genuinely shocked. atom Mei and Milia of the Five Swords were devout believers of the New Faith, and they shouted in disbelief.

“The… Pope?”

Renowned household for swordsmanship, the Arden family.

“I’ll prove whether I’m right or wrong later down the track. aspect What I was trying to say is that what I have in front of me are the only people that I can trust from the bottom of my heart.”

There was no need to even bother explaining about them – they were one of the key allied factions in the final battle of . acid Led by the greatest charismatic character, Sword Emperor, were the named playable characters, Lunia Arden and Alicia Arden.

Dunareff Dukedom of the South.

They were a trustworthy ally that stayed with the player until the very end.

Originally after Marie turned into a vampire, and because most of the events occurred in the North, they were a faction that wouldn’t have actively participated in the battle, but it was a different story now.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 139: Korin Guardians (2) by Indra Translations.

In the previous iteration, the main members of Park Sihu and my party were Dorron and that freshman student. alpha Dorron was one of the few strong male characters in the game that had the potential to become a semi-Unique Grade depending on the path, and the method to make him stronger was fairly simple.

I was now going to borrow the finances of this enormous noble family, and accomplish things that were impossible both in the game and the last iteration.

Warsky Mercenaries.

Marie was wholeheartedly trying to support me and now, I decided not to downright turn her feelings down either.

The plan was to flood him with support in preparation for the future battle. harbor It was going to be easy as long as I had Marie and her never-ending supply of money.

Lunia pointed out something in the middle of my explanation, after hearing that even she was a part of the people that had to be taught.

Like what we had been doing till now, my plan was to defeat the enemies with my party members.

“’Everyone’ needs a teacher? Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors. beacon Does that include me?”

After having a fair number of men and a strong enough faction, what mattered the most was having a powerful party of named characters that could beat the King’s subjects, who were extraordinarily stronger than any other enemy that came out before them.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 139: Korin Guardians (2) by Indra Translations.

“Hmm~. canvas The only person who can say that to me is the old man. amateur Is she as strong as him?”

“Of course. arena And when it comes to teaching, she’s going to be a lot better than the Sword Emperor, that eccentric old man.”

“Hoh?”

“Yes, Miss Lunia. adjust You are going to receive lessons from her as well.”

“Hello? adapt I am Erin Danua.”

Taking off her hood, she stood before them – the spear-wielding Queen of Paradise, who had been teaching heroes for over a thousand years introduced herself to the crowd.

Immediately after saying that, I threw a glance at Erin. academy The lady, who had been quietly listening to my story without mixing into the crowd, slowly headed to where I was along with Josephine.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 139: Korin Guardians (2) by Indra Translations.

All she revealed was that she used to move around in the name of Chairman Eriu Casarr, and the information about Tates Valtazar. arch After that, she told them that the Old Faith and the Tower of Mages were in collaboration with him.

The faith that had spread across this land was that of the Goidels, and it was better not to link this to talks about religion and mythology, which was bound to lead to confusing discussions.

Erin Danua.

The owner of Paradise who hid herself, and the Danann of Justice. ability She didn’t bother explaining to them that she had been a part of the race before humanity, and that she used to be one of the beings referred to as gods.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 139: Korin Guardians (2) by Indra Translations.

However, not many of them questioned the legitimacy of her statement.

Josephine Clara.

The main members like Alicia, Marie, and Hua Ran were already aware of their objective, but the rest of the crowd appeared confused by her story.

“This is not something like a political fight for supremacy. shadow Valtazar and his subjects sincerely wish for the destruction of humanity.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 139: Korin Guardians (2) by Indra Translations.

“Do you wish to move Arden – us – as a part of your army?”

I had made a pact with Lunia in the East, that she lend us manpower at the level of the 1st Sword Squad in return for me resolving her engagement problems.

The presence of the witch who had been serving the Academy for 80 years as the Senior Professor, was adding credibility to the words of Master Erin.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 139: Korin Guardians (2) by Indra Translations.

“What a big statement, boss.”

She stared at me, asking if this was what that pact was for. acoustic She was half-right. auction My original plan was to use their army instead of letting Master Erin out but…

“My dear fiance. afford If you so wish, I can entrust myself with you anytime, but it is a different matter altogether if you wish to involve my men into it.”

“Similar, but we will have a proper reward system. acid Our Susanoo friend, the vice-captain of the Warsky Mercenaries will probably sign the contract without even bothering to read through the content.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 139: Korin Guardians (2) by Indra Translations.

Before continuing with my words, I turned to Master for the final approval. artist She gave me a nod, showing her firm belief in my decision.

“The ‘Treasury of the Danann’ will be opening soon and will stay open till the end of our summer holidays. silence That is the place we are going to go to.”

“I’m sure even the Five Sword sisters will love it if they hear the deal.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 139: Korin Guardians (2) by Indra Translations.

Paradise and the inheritance of the Danann.

And now, we were going to open that 1 year ahead of schedule.

It was a part of the main quest that was supposed to open up after the destruction of the Academy and the death of Erin Danua.
