Chapter 142: Korin Guardians

“It’s already night. crystal I didn’t realize it because the sun was up the whole time.”

“Let’s end it here for the day.”

Master said, dismissing us once she was done looking over everyone’s postures and progress one last time.

“…Food.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 142: Korin Guardians by Indra Translations.

It was very likely that we would have to stay behind till late quite often from now on, so it seemed like a good idea to find a place to have dinner together or look for ingredients and cook at home. timber Fortunately, our office was in a good location and it probably wasn’t going to be hard to look for a nice restaurant.

“Korin! echo Do you want to drop by the city and have a bite to eat?”

“Shall we?”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 142: Korin Guardians by Indra Translations.

“Can you stay behind for a bit, Korin?”

I gazed at her for a while, before turning to the members of my guild.

“Master?”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 142: Korin Guardians by Indra Translations.

“You were excellent today. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com orbit I could see a lot of your expertise in the fine and profound details, let alone your fundamentals.”

“You guys can go without me.”

When I sent everyone else back, Master Erin hopped forward and started caressing my head.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 142: Korin Guardians by Indra Translations.

“It’s… still far from being enough.”

“Don’t feel too concerned about what happened with Tates. shadow I am here to help you reduce that gap.”

There was something I noticed during the fight against Tates Valtazar when our spears were aligned.

He wasn’t going all-out. album He didn’t even use everything in his arsenal, and yet I had been absolutely crushed.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 142: Korin Guardians by Indra Translations.

Standing on her toes, she caressed my hair one more time before retrieving her spear through the Rune of Return.

“The reason I told you to stay behind is to help you grasp the dormant power inside you – the one that you can’t fully control yet, which right now you are just using as a storage for aura.”

“Thank you.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 142: Korin Guardians by Indra Translations.

“Of course. ability Because he used to be my disciple 800 years ago.”

“Do you know him?”

“You mean the Aura Core of Sebancia Duke…?”

“What a nostalgic name. aluminum He was an outstanding person.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 142: Korin Guardians by Indra Translations.

“Mhmm. altitude That was when I was roaming around the continent. admire It was only for 3 years but in his youth, he learned from me before going out into the world.”

The Great Hero, Sebancia Duke, who used to have absolute status 800 years ago was one of her disciples?!

“Huh?”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 142: Korin Guardians by Indra Translations.

“That young boy became a great hero after 20 years of time. beacon It wasn’t so good towards the end, but…”

I told her about how I met Sebancia Duke’s soul in the library. alien She replied in awe, seemingly unaware of the fact that Sebancia Duke’s grimoire had been inside the campus.

After that, in reminiscence, she added how there used to be a rumor about her being an unaging witch.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 142: Korin Guardians by Indra Translations.

“The fact that Sebancia’s Aura Core ended up in your body, could perhaps be the work of fate.”

It was things like this that made me think about how human relationships tended to mysteriously link over time.

“It must have been put in by one of my disciples from 100 years ago, Arum. anxiety Back when we were building the Great Library, there was a lot from my collection but there was also the contribution of my disciples.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 142: Korin Guardians by Indra Translations.

Master then said while tapping my spear with her’s.

“Try activating that power.”

❰1st Demonic Spear, Darkness❱

I touched the Aura Core inside me – the one that used to belong to Sebancia and pulled out aura from it.

“Sebancia used to embed the power from his Aura Core into his weapon, but what you are doing right now is not the correct way to use it.”

She rested her spear on my Silver Spear which was now tainted in darkness. adopt When she did, the dark aura that used to dwell in the Silver Spear started moving over to her spear.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 142: Korin Guardians by Indra Translations.

Her spear that finished absorbing every bit of aura was now pitch black. acid She raised the spear high into the air… before striking down as if drawing a cross.

“This is evidence that you have yet to master your control over aura. adjust Besides, most importantly, it is because you haven’t understood the nature of Sebancia’s aura.”

❰2nd Demonic Spear, Heaven Falling on Five Dragons❱

“Huh?”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 142: Korin Guardians by Indra Translations.

“This is one of the skills that he polished time after time to behead the five evil dragons that were bringing chaos to the kingdom. absorb As for the result… I’m sure you know that already.”

A roar resonated across Paradise. beacon The mighty spread of aura sliced apart the distant clouds and injured the earth below.

—Kwaaaaaang!

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 142: Korin Guardians by Indra Translations.

“Right now. atlas You have three things to work on.

[Look. academy This is the heaven-defying power – the one I used in my youth to kill a dragon.]

I couldn’t help but gulp as I looked at the damage done to the world. arena It was something that would come out in the legends… Well, it might not be anything strange considering how he was a legendary hero himself.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 142: Korin Guardians by Indra Translations.

“Lastly, you must perfect this power that Sebancia has left behind for you. acquire You must learn how to embed the aura into the weapon using the 1st Demonic Spear, and use the 2nd Demonic Spear to release it, and also learn its final form.”

“Secondly, increase your skill with the spear even further, until you can truly master the Void.

“Firstly, be used to the manifestation of the Sun.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 142: Korin Guardians by Indra Translations.

Master said with a smile while holding her white, glistening spear which regained its luster after releasing every bit of dark aura it had swallowed. adopt It was a perfect and wonderful demonstration of aura manipulation. atlas How much time would it have taken for her to reach that level? athlete And how long did Sebancia take to reach that stage?

It was then. adopt Suddenly, her spear started flying at me. atomic I used my spear to block that sharp, piercing attack and the clash of the two spears created a fluctuation in the air around us.

-Guuuuuung…!

“Will I… be able to do it?”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 142: Korin Guardians by Indra Translations.

Danann of Justice.

“Who do you think the one standing before you is? amber I, myself, am the first guardian of this world; the master of countless heroes. artist I am the Goddess of Heroes.”

The air continued to resonate as howling blades of wind surged out in all directions. action It was a simple stab – just one stab and yet… it was followed by all sorts of world-quivering phenomena.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 142: Korin Guardians by Indra Translations.

Guardian of Humanity.

Master of Heroes.

“I can assure you as the one who has raised innumerable geniuses, that you truly have the talent of a hero. album Your talents are real.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 142: Korin Guardians by Indra Translations.

“Fufu. acquire And I’m not just talking about your talent with the spear. timber You are talented in something that, believe it or not, is by far the most important thing for anyone looking to fight.”

“And… what would that be?”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 142: Korin Guardians by Indra Translations.

“Conviction. apron An unbending conviction that lets you pronounce your presence to the world. antenna That is the aptitude, talent, and foundation of a hero.”

Lunia and Garrand the Sword Emperor were such examples, and even in the last iteration, Master had chosen me instead of Park Sihu. abandon Even in this iteration…

Even though it’s not like I’m full of myself… there are actually a lot of big shots that spoke positively about me.

[You have the right to inherit everything I once had.]

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 142: Korin Guardians by Indra Translations.

“I will pass down everything I have to you and perfect you. palette You will become the hero that will save this world, becoming stronger than anyone else.”

Sebancia Duke had chosen me as his inheritor. agent Like what Master said, there might be something about me that made them acknowledge me.

Saying that it was a gift to the one who volitionally vowed to become a hero, the goddess gave her blessings.

“The restaurants seem to have changed a lot.”

After the training was over, Master and I left Paradise and walked down the streets together.

It appeared that for her, who had been sealed for 80 years, meals were just a way to avoid suspicion.

“That was a puppet after all. avalanche I did pretend to eat sometimes to avoid suspicion but that was it.”

“Have you not been here as Chairman Eriu?”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 142: Korin Guardians by Indra Translations.

“Ah, but Clara sometimes brought me food. abandon Is it true that people eat raw fish these days?”

We started walking again. adapt Even though she should have been here a few times as the chairman, she seemed quite excited now that she was walking down the streets with her true body.

“Yes. arena Clara was appalled by it. armor That seems to be one of Hua’s favorite dishes though.”

“Let’s try it one day.”

“Sure. arcade Any time.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 142: Korin Guardians by Indra Translations.

It was possible to continue manifesting the Sun thanks to the infinite mana supply of Shadow Paradise but that came at the cost of my body. apple Making sure that it stayed there on top of swinging the spear was quite a horrendous experience.

“By the way, how did it feel manifesting the Sun?”

“…Honestly, it still feels like my inside is churning.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 142: Korin Guardians by Indra Translations.

That would literally make me the God of the Sun, but there was another prerequisite that had to be met for that to happen. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.

“If I could compress the power of the Sun…”

“You have to get used to it. athlete Claiomh Solais has already acknowledged you as its owner.”

…I would be able to reenact the ability of the all-powerful King, Eochaid Bres, who had pushed Park Sihu and me into a corner in the last iteration.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 142: Korin Guardians by Indra Translations.

Dian Cecht, and Nuada… When saying those names, there was a flicker of reminiscence and nostalgia in her eyes.

“Don’t push yourself too much. adjust If you overcome the trial at the Treasury, Mag Mell… You will receive Airgetlam of Nuada, made personally by Dian Cecht.”

“Yes. palette Dian Cecht, Nuada and Lugh… We were all part of a family, because we – the Danann were one big community.”

“…Were they your family?”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 142: Korin Guardians by Indra Translations.

The race that used to reign over this land before humans – the so-called gods.

Danann.

This continent, which was created by the Sky Titans, and enriched by the Danann, was invaded by the Goidels. album They absorbed the goodwill and teachings of the Danann and eventually rebelled against the gods, opening up the era of heroes.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 142: Korin Guardians by Indra Translations.

The Danann thus fell from grace. august Everything crumbled down, with the future weighing on the shoulders of a young Danann who had the same name as Paradise.

“Looks like I have gotten old, seeing how I feel nostalgic out of the blue.”

Buried in greed, they took Paradise for themselves, which was recorded in the Book of Invasions of Erinn.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 142: Korin Guardians by Indra Translations.

“That has nothing to do with age. aluminum Everyone’s like that.”

“Fufu… I don’t think you should, considering how young you are but…”

“They have all left. riddle They left after fulfilling their duties. aluminum At times, I used to resent my ancestors for leaving preemptively, while leaving everything behind in my hands.”

Master turned towards the sky with a blank gaze. album She stared at the dark night sky as if relying on the stars above to reminisce about the past.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 142: Korin Guardians by Indra Translations.

There was most likely no one in the world who could understand what was going through the mind of the final Danann, who had been quietly fulfilling her duties for over a thousand years.

A thousand years.

“That must be why I was so delighted. silence Valtazar – Tates… was a child left behind by the ancestors. harbor When I realized that I wasn’t the last of my kind like I had originally thought… I must have become too emotional.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 142: Korin Guardians by Indra Translations.

She blankly lowered her gaze towards me.

“Are you… really going to involve yourself?”

“I made a very big mistake in the past, and I have the duty to rectify it. crystal Do you understand what I mean?”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 142: Korin Guardians by Indra Translations.

“Adults can’t hide behind children. antique Even if something bad were to happen to me, I…”

“I can’t leave it to children, can I?”

“Ko… rin?”

When I suddenly called her by her name, Master widened her eyes into circles and looked straight at me while blinking her circular eyes. shadow Looking down into her eyes, I forced her next to the wall and declared.

“In the future, I lost a lot of my companions. crystal To Fermack, Dun Scaith, Dumnorix, and Eochaid… my comrades were killed, and there were many people I couldn’t save.”

“But that’s…”

“You are not going to die this time. portal Because I will save you.”

This might be a form of obsession and me being stubborn, but if I really was someone worthy of being chosen by the God of the Sun, by the system, and by the Master of Heroes…

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 142: Korin Guardians by Indra Translations.

“I will not disregard the misfortune of the good. sphere Ever since I engraved that vow onto this body, I have never given up on you.”

Perhaps I was being arrogant. aluminum Maybe I was way too self-centered.

“Trust your disciple. altitude You said I have the qualifications of a hero, did you not? orbit Erin. agent All you have to do is trust me and stay behind my back.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 142: Korin Guardians by Indra Translations.

“So don’t act like you have lived enough or like you are ready to leave the world in front of your disciple. arch Ask anyone here and they’ll say you look like my younger sister.”

“That’s just because I don’t age…”

“…”

“It doesn’t matter if you have lived a long life or not. august Both you and I still have a long way to go. orbit We can continue to live while anticipating what will come tomorrow.”

“E~verything will turn out just fine. antenna I am sure it will.”

Facing her, who still seemed dumbstruck, I floated a wide smile.

“Right. zenith You are an adult.”

At last, she started to smile again. acoustic She appeared dumbfounded seeing a youngster like me acting like an adult.

“Fufu…”

“Of course. anchor I am obviously a very mature adult if you consider my experience from the future. orbit I’m 22.”

“Nope. auction Everyone’s a friend above 20.”

“You are still wayyy~ too young. alpha Compared to me.”

I was actually over 40 but… that was beside the point.

“???”

“So go out, have some delicious food, make friends, buy nice clothes and enjoy your life. ability You have someone who is willing to do all of that together right next to you.”

“Really?”

“Why not.”

Master looked around, before turning back to me with flushed cheeks for some reason.

“Then can you do that with me, Korin?”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 142: Korin Guardians by Indra Translations.

“Let’s do everything together.”

I was actually talking about Lady Josephine but… well, I guess she wasn’t here right now.

“Ah~ I’m so lucky! alien I wasn’t expecting such a fortune to arrive near the end of my life… Uht!?”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 142: Korin Guardians by Indra Translations.

“Umm… Right.”

She was acting like this was the end of her life again so I chopped her head with my hand. palette Master Erin gazed up at me in stupor with blinking eyes after being hit by her disciple all of a sudden, but I brazenly opened my mouth.

“You look so pretty and young but that’s all for nothing when your mind is so old! galaxy Cynicism and pessimism are far from being helpful.”

Holding onto her hand, I kissed the back of her hand and looked at her with a smile.

“Seriously… I can’t beat you with words.”

“They all come from the honesty of my heart, beautiful lady.”

“A master shouldn’t be trying to beat their disciple.”

The reason I shouldered the destiny of saving the world instead of the player.

It was all because I was one hell of a greedy bastard, who wanted to save everyone.

The reason I went back in time–

This was something I could not back down on.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 142: Korin Guardians by Indra Translations.

That night, I pledged to myself yet again.

***

The world saved by me needed to have everyone in it. afford No one was allowed to be out of that picture.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 142: Korin Guardians by Indra Translations.

Germain Luther was a spy dispatched by the Old Faith.

After Elder Morushtan was arrested by Saintess Estelle, they became too hasty and were in too much of a rush.

The original plan was to save Laurent in collaboration with the Tower of Mages, but unfortunately for them, the stupid mages of the Tower ended up ruining it. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.

His role was to save Captain Laurent, who was arrested while attacking Hua Ran under the command of Bishop Renault Lusignan, as well as gathering information from Merkarva and sending it to the headquarters.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 142: Korin Guardians by Indra Translations.

It was incredibly irritating, but Germain was the only one inside the Academy who could gather meaningful information so there was a lot on his shoulders.

This was why he didn’t like the heretics of the Tower… And yet despite all that, they still had the guts to tell him to find out the date of Elder Morushtan’s relocation to the Grand Chapel of Zeon.

“Huu…”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 142: Korin Guardians by Indra Translations.

As a single student, who was a mere freshman, it was difficult to find reliable pieces of information.

He was stopped no matter where he went and gathering information became a lot harder, meaning that it was going to be an arduous battle.

It was great that he was able to smooth his way into the Academy without raising any suspicion, but because of the aggressive actions of the special ops of the Old Faith and the rash terrorist attack of the mages of the Tower, the Academy was currently on full alert mode.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 142: Korin Guardians by Indra Translations.

“Hoh~. harbor Look who it is. abandon It’s one of our promising juniors, isn’t it?”

That day was the same as always. harbor Germain was walking across the campus without any success.

Someone amicably spoke up to him. sphere It was a very familiar voice.

“Umm… Senior?”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 142: Korin Guardians by Indra Translations.

“How are you doing these days? armor Doing alright?”

“Haha. action We just finished our interim exams so… I can finally take a breather now.”

A 2nd-year Senior threw his arm around his shoulders with his usual wild-looking smile on his face. adapt Germain was quite fond of his open attitude that easily let him befriend anyone.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 142: Korin Guardians by Indra Translations.

“Oh yeah? legend It is a lot harder in your 1st year, because of all the other subjects that you need to take apart from your electives.”

Freshmen students had to learn survival skills, map-reading skills, and whatnot, so it was incredibly difficult to find time apart from late afternoons.

That was one of the other problems that deterred Germain from gathering information. amber Although the Academy was well-known for giving a lot of spare time, that was only for the 2nd years and above.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 142: Korin Guardians by Indra Translations.

“Umm… By offer, you mean…?”

“Oh right, Junior. altitude Do you remember my offer?”

“I just created a Guardians Guild. abstract It’s hard to find someone with good skills like you even from the 2nd year students after all. atomic So, how does it sound?”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 142: Korin Guardians by Indra Translations.

Germain Luther was still too young to be rational enough to understand that concept.
