I Killed an Academy Player Chapter 151: Delinquent Saintess (1)

Chapter 151: Delinquent Saintess (1)

There‌​⁠ were a lot​ of people in‍‍‍ the world living‍ impoverished lives.

It​ could be due⁠ to lack of‌​ money, background or​‍‌ perhaps a reflection‍‌ of their innate‌ talent.

In⁠ every sector, there‌ was always a gap between the⁠ rich and the⁠⁠ poor, but all⁠⁠ of them tended​‌‌ to desire a better and abundant‌‍⁠ future.

However,​‍⁠ there were a few rare exceptions⁠‍‌ to this rule.‌

There​ were those who​⁠​ lived an excessively‍​‌ superfluous lives – people who were‌​ blessed with a bunch of things‌ from birth.

Estelle⁠‍ Hadassa El Rath​‌ was one of‌‌ such people.

The‌‌ 1st Princess of‌‍​ the El Rath‌⁠‌ Kingdom,

The‍​​ one and only‍ Saintess of the‍‌ New Faith, the‍​ Grand Chapel of⁠⁠⁠ Zeon.

She​​ was born a noble birth and​⁠‍ was the Saintess‌​⁠ whose very existence‌⁠⁠ was accompanied by⁠⁠⁠ the evident miracles​ of the gods.‌ Being the one‍ and only Saintess​​ and someone connected‌⁠ directly to the‍​ gods, even the​ Pope, the head‍‍ of the order,​‍ had to treat‌⁠ her with a considerable amount of⁠ respect.

Estelle‍ was one of⁠‌⁠ the two princesses​‍ of the continent⁠ and a successor‌‍ to the throne‍ while also being‍ the unique Saintess‍ of the New‍⁠ Faith.

Born​‌​ with everything, she​ was like a celestial angel who⁠‍ reached levels far⁠‍ too high for‌⁠ a normal person.⁠ Because of that,​‌ she became quite…‍‌‌ or rather, significantly‍​ carefree.

『Saintess.​ How is your​‌‍ life at the‍​ Academy?』

“Same‍‌‍ as always. The‍‌​ guys still drool‍​​ when they see⁠ me and the⁠ juniors are cute!‍‌ Of course, little⁠‌ Hua Ran is​‍ adorable as always!”‍

『…』​​

On‍‌ the other side‍ of the communication‍‍ device, the head‌​​ of the order⁠‌ who was about‍⁠ to reach 80‍​​ years of age,​ Pope Sicarii Iscariot,‍​⁠ seemed troubled by‌‍‍ her carefreeness.

『If‍‍ you wish to‌ escape the eyes‍‍ of the guys,‌ Saintess, first off​‌ you ought to‍‍⁠ do something about‍‍ that indecent outfit​ of yours.』

Pope‍‌‍ Sicarii stated while​‌ glancing at her​ clothing through the⁠​​ communication device.

Crafted​⁠‍ with the best‌​ silk among the⁠ best from the‌⁠ south and a generous amount of‍ golden strings and​‌​ ornaments, it was​‍‌ a pure white⁠​‌ outfit representing the‍ purity of the‍‍ order.

Even⁠ though the Zeon⁠ Order was unafraid​ of demonstrating their​ fanciness, it had‌ to be subtle​‍ instead of being​‍ open. For example,‌‌ the ambient emerald‌ on the rosary‌​⁠ being the best⁠ the world could⁠ offer, or the‌‍ belt around the​​⁠ sacred outfit being​ the order-made masterpiece‍ of a master​‌ craftsman… Like that,⁠ furtively showing off⁠ their wealth in⁠‌​ a way that⁠​ only the sophisticated​​ could perceive was‌ the ‘elegant virtue’⁠ of the high​‌ templars and nobles​‌‍ and yet…

The‍ Saintess, with the⁠⁠ showy outfit of‌ a nouveau riche‍‍⁠ that highlighted the⁠ perfect lines of​ her body, was​‍​ closer to being​​‍ strange in the⁠ eyes of others‍‌ let alone carefree.​

“Why?‍‍‍ It’s cute, isn’t‌​​ it? Back in‌‌ the chapel the‍ guys would only⁠‍ steal glances but​ in the Academy,⁠ there are a few people that‌‌​ try to boast‌ about themselves, saying‌ they are the‍⁠ kids of a count or the‍‍ successor of a big merchant family.”‌‌‌

That⁠ was only natural.⁠‍

Her⁠⁠​ pinkish hair, which‌ was slightly different‌⁠‍ from the crimson⁠‍‍ red hair color​‍​ that represented the⁠‍‌ royal family, was⁠⁠ incredibly adorable. Not‌‌⁠ to mention, her​ eyes that were⁠ as clear as‌​⁠ the sky shone‍​ brightly like the​ greatest emerald in⁠‍‌ the world.

On⁠‌ top of that,​⁠ the order-made costume​‌⁠ that had a rather high level‌‍ of exposure and‍‍ openness was something‍⁠⁠ people couldn’t readily​‍⁠ wear without having‌‍ full confidence in‌‍‍ their body image.⁠⁠

All⁠‍ things considered, it​⁠⁠ was quite natural​‍ for young teenage⁠​ boys, and even⁠​‍ girls, to be⁠‍​ enticed by her⁠‍ charm.

『Monkeys‌ see, monkeys do.‍​‌ You need to​‍ show yourself as​ an example. In​⁠ the first place,‌‍⁠ the clothing for⁠​⁠ Sister Hua Ran‍‍​ that you designed⁠‌‍ was…』

“It’s⁠ cute, isn’t it?‍ It looks so​⁠ cute!”

『Haa…』‌‍

Estelle‍⁠ floated a smile‍​ despite the sigh‌‍‍ from the 80-year-old‍ man from the⁠ other side of⁠‌​ the device.

It‍​‌ had already been‌ a while since‍‌ Pope Sicarii gave⁠ up on her.​‍

『More​⁠​ importantly, how is⁠ the relocation plan‍ of the convicts?』⁠

“We​⁠‍ will be moving⁠ them with the⁠ Holy Knights that⁠ were urgently dispatched​‌ to the city.​‍‌ Big heretic, Morushtan‍​⁠ of the Tower,‍ Formation Expert Kang⁠‌ Ryun who was​ being locked up⁠‍‌ in Merkarva and‍⁠⁠ the Chargers of‌‍‍ the Cross from⁠⁠‌ the Old Faith‍⁠ – there is​ a whole load‌​​ to transfer.”

『What‍​ an utterly unbelievable⁠​ bunch. We must‌‌ definitely punish them⁠​‍ in the Chapel⁠ of Zeon.』

Like‌‌⁠ what Pope Sicarii‌ said, the heinous‌ criminals that had‍ been imprisoned at⁠‍ Merkarva were evil​ villains that Estelle​‌⁠ could not forgive,‌ in spite of‍​ her relaxed personality.⁠‌

Elder‍‌⁠ Morushtan had carried⁠ out experiments of⁠⁠⁠ black magic that‍⁠⁠ insulted the gods,‍​​ and Kang Ryun⁠‌ had formed an​‍ evil plan against⁠ the probationary sister‍‌ of the New‌‌ Faith, Hua Ran.⁠​

There⁠ were more. Recently,‌‍ the mages of⁠‌ the Tower and‌⁠‌ other criminals were​ being imprisoned left‌⁠ and right, all⁠‍ thanks to the⁠⁠‍ amazing contributions of​​ a certain promising⁠ junior.

“Your​ Holiness. I really⁠ think there is​‍ a need for⁠⁠ us to pressure‍ the Tower of​ Mages as a group.”

『In⁠‍ regards to that,‌⁠‍ we will discuss‍‌ it after you‌ arrive. Is your‍ departure date still⁠⁠ the 5th of‌ June?』

“Yes.‌‌​ There are a lot of criminals​ so we have‌‍⁠ to travel on‌‌‌ foot, meaning it‍‌‌ will take quite⁠ some time to⁠ get there.”

『I‍​‌ see. Be careful‌‍‌ on your way.』​‌⁠

With⁠‌​ that, the pope‌‌ ended the communication.‍‍⁠ Giving a long​​‌ stretch, Estelle basked‍​‍ in the warm‌ sunlight.

***⁠

The​ Merkarva Academy campus​​ was as relaxed​ as always.

There‌⁠ were fewer subject‌ requirements compared to‍⁠ modern universities, and​‌ even those few‍​‍ subjects were replaceable‍⁠‍ with missions given⁠​ by the Guardian​ Alliance, so it⁠‍ was commonplace for‌ the proactive 2nd​ year students to‌ prefer external missions‍‍ than lectures.

And⁠‍​ that was the‌ same for us,‌‌ Korin Guardians.

“Boss.​ I’m done on​‍‌ this end.”

Dorron‍ Warsky reported back‍‍ after finishing his‍⁠⁠ side of things.‍ Behind his back,‌⁠​ a dozen or‌‍​ so magic swords‌⁠ were floating in​​ the air, dripping​‍‌ with blood.

“Already?⁠‍ Looks like you’re‌ getting even better‌ at flying your‌‌‌ swords around.”

Due‌‍​ to cutting through⁠‍ the bones and‍ flesh of the‍‌⁠ demonic beasts, his​‌‍ swords were covered‌‍ with blood and⁠ fat. That was​‌​ the very proof‌‍‍ that his swords⁠‍ had cut deeply‍ into the flesh‌ of the beasts.​‍

It​‌‌ was a mission‍​ to defend a village from a monster outbreak, but‌ the horde of‍⁠⁠ monsters crumbled down‌ like autumn leaves‍ before the overwhelming‌⁠⁠ might of Dorron⁠⁠​ and Kranel.

“Well.‌ It’s all because​ of this sword‌ that I got⁠⁠​ thanks to you.”‍

He‍⁠‍ said while grabbing⁠ onto a large⁠‌ golden magic sword‌ out of the⁠​⁠ swords that were‌ floating around him.‍‍⁠

Great⁠‍‌ Fury, Moralltach. It⁠ was one of‍ the legendary hidden⁠‌ pieces of ❰Heroic​ Legends of Arhan❱​‌ and a magic‌‌​ sword of destruction‌‍​ that had impressive⁠⁠‍ AOE attacks.

“This‍​ sword that I got from Manannan‍‌ is something else.”‌‍⁠

Dorron⁠​⁠ exclaimed as he⁠‌ glanced at a corner of the⁠​‍ village that we​‌ defended. There was‌ a huge crevice‌​ left behind on‌⁠ the ground that‍ proved the might​ of Moralltach.

Like‌‍​ how I received‌‌ treasures from the‌ Island of Treasures,⁠⁠ Mag Mell, Dorron‍​⁠ and a few⁠​‍ of the other‍⁠‌ members of the‌‍​ guild also managed⁠‍‍ to obtain a treasure.

It‍ was very unexpected⁠​ that Marie, Alicia,⁠ and Hua Ran​ were unable to​⁠⁠ obtain anything but…‍‍​ there was only⁠‌ one chance to⁠ obtain a treasure⁠‍​ in Mag Mell⁠​‌ so there was​⁠​ no way around​‌ it.

“Anyway,⁠ with this over,​⁠ we should have‍ more than enough‌​‌ achievements for a promotion.”

“You⁠⁠‍ mean for a guild promotion?”

“I‍‌ don’t think there‍​‍ has been any‌‌ other guild that‌ became Grade 1,​‌​ 2 months after‍​​ establishment.”

Ever⁠ since we created‌‍​ our guild, we‍‌⁠ completed every single⁠⁠​ mission we could‍‍ from the missions⁠​ given out by‌​ the Guardian Alliance.‍⁠ It was an‍‍‍ ‘octopus tentacle tactic’,​‍⁠ which was only‌ possible thanks to‍ the impressive combat⁠⁠‌ prowess of our⁠‍‍ Guardians Guild.

Thanks⁠‍ to that, we​​​ were able to⁠ quickly accumulate all⁠‍ the necessary achievement​‍‍ points for a promotion.

“We⁠​ had to do⁠ it though, because⁠‌ it’s about time⁠ we needed a public voice and​‍‍ authority.”

“I​​ feel even this‌⁠​ isn’t enough if⁠ we think about​‍‍ your plans and‍⁠ goals, Boss.”

After‍‌ we were done‍​ with the mission,‍ we quickly returned​ on a wyvern.‍ We were only​​ able to carry‍‍‍ out external missions‍​⁠ without feeling burdened‌ by them thanks‌ to these wyverns.‍​

The⁠‍‍ wyverns Marie bought‍ for us were⁠‍​ energetic despite several‍‍‌ intense flights in‌ a row and⁠‌ they were an⁠‌​ extremely fast transportation‍‍ method.

Besides,‍‌ thanks to Marie’s​‌​ status as the‍​⁠ lady of a Dukedom, we weren’t‌‌​ subjected to the‌ law of ‘No‍ Flights inside the‌‍ City’ and didn’t‌⁠ have to stop​⁠ by the wyvern‍ landing platforms in⁠ the nearby villages,​⁠ which helped us​⁠⁠ save around 2 days of time‌​ every mission.

“Huu…”⁠‌​

“Korin,‍‍‌ you’re back!”

Marie‌‌⁠ welcomed me when⁠‍ we returned from‍ the mission. She‍‍ seemed to have⁠​ just come back‍‍ from a mission‍‌‌ herself, and was‍‍ wearing an outfit​‌‌ that was catered‍ to activities.

“…”​

“Uun?”‍ What’s wrong?”

“No.‍‌⁠ Nothing.”

But⁠‍ still, what was‌​​ with those vulgar​ clothes that were​⁠⁠ exposing her belly‌‌ and her thighs…?⁠⁠

The​‍⁠ female clothing in‍⁠⁠ this world is​⁠ way too revolutionary.‍

“Where​ are you looking…‍‍ Ahah?”

After‌ seemingly noticing my​‍ line of sight,‍‍‍ Marie closed the⁠ hems of her‌​ robe with a sensuous gaze, sat⁠‍ down on the‍⁠‌ bed and tapped‍​​ her lap.

She‍⁠ was inviting me‍ and telling me​‌⁠ to hurry up.‌​⁠

“K,‍ kuhum…! I need​​ to write a report for clearing⁠⁠ the mission to‌ the Alliance.”

“You⁠‌‌ can do that⁠⁠‍ later~”

“R,​‌ right.”

In‌⁠ the end, I couldn’t overcome her⁠‍⁠ seduction. A fluffy⁠‌‌ and voluptuous pillow…‍⁠ There was probably​‌⁠ no-one in this‌ world that could‍‍​ resist such a thing…

“Come‍ on~. Good boy.‌⁠​ Rest assured and⁠⁠⁠ feel free to‌​ take a nap,‍⁠‌ okay?”

Ahh,​ my consciousness was⁠‍ starting to fade.⁠⁠‍

Burying​ my head on‌⁠ the large cushion,‌‌‍ my mind slowly‍‍‌ started to fade⁠​⁠ from the pleasant‌‌‌ scent of her—⁠‌

-MEOWWWWWWW!!!!!!⁠⁠

“Uahhk?!”‌

It⁠‌ was right when​‌ I was about⁠‍ to fall into⁠ deep sleep – a sudden and‌ loud growl woke​ me up from⁠⁠ the bed. Looking‍ around, I saw‌‍ on the other‍‌⁠ side of the⁠ window of the‌⁠⁠ Guardians Dormitory, a cat with red‌‌⁠ eyes.

“Aigu.‌⁠​ Navi, you’re back!”⁠

That‍ black cat was⁠‌ a cat that‌​⁠ recently started roaming​‌‌ around our dormitory‍ building. As someone‍‍​ from Korea, I naturally gave it⁠‍‍ the most common‍‍ Korean cat name‍‌‍ and fed it‌‌‍ from time to‌​⁠ time.

“Come‍​ here.”

Navi⁠‌​ immediately jumped into‍​ my arms the⁠​ moment I opened‌‍⁠ the window. It‍‍ became very attached​​ to me after‍‌ I fed it⁠​​ a few times.⁠‍

“Senior,‍‌‌ do we have‌⁠​ some leftover fish‌​ in the fridge?‍‌ This guy loves‍‌ fish. Actually, for⁠ some reason, it⁠⁠ especially loves braised‌ mackerel.”

“…I’ll‌‌ go bring it.”‌⁠

Marie⁠‍‍ didn’t seem too‍​‍ keen. I thought‍⁠ she was the‍‌‍ type of person‌​‍ that would love‌​ cats and dogs​⁠ but…

“Meoww~”⁠

When⁠ she left, Navi‌ started to adorably‌ rub her head‌​ on my chest.‌‌

“Huhu.‍‍‌ Little Navi. Are⁠‌​ you making sure‌ you’re healthy?”

It‍‍ was my first‍‍‌ time having an‌​ animal be this‌ attached to me,⁠​ so that made​‍​ me all the‌ more pleased by​ Navi’s adorable actions.‌⁠‌

“Ehew~.​​​ Navi! Do you⁠​ love daddy that⁠‌ much?”

Even‍‍ when I tickled‌​ her on the‍‍ chin and caressed⁠‍ her on the‌​‌ head, the cat‌‍‌ didn’t seem displeased​​ in the slightest.​ How could there⁠ be such a cute organism in​‌⁠ this world?

“Korin!‍​ I brought… the​‌ fish! Haak! Haa!”​‌​

Before​‍ long, Marie came⁠ back panting as​‌⁠ if she had‌‍ been in a huge rush and​ began putting down‍ several frozen fish‌⁠​ on the shelf.⁠

“Why​​​ were you in‌‌ a rush? You​⁠ could have taken‍ your time.”

“Nnn?‍​‍ No, I wasn’t​ in a rush⁠‍ or anything.”

“There’s⁠‌ no way… I can see you‌‌ panting…”

“No?‌​ I wasn’t though?”⁠

For⁠​‌ some reason, she‍⁠‍ appeared strange and​‌ although that made⁠​ me curious, I decided to let‍‌⁠ it go for​ now.

“By‍‍ the way Korin,⁠ do you remember‌‍‍ how we received⁠​ a gift from‌‍ the Danann of​‌ Love back when⁠‌‍ we went to‌​​ Mag Mell?”

-Meow…​‍‌

Strangely⁠ enough, Navi responded‍‍‍ to Marie’s words.‍​​

I returned a nod,‍‌⁠ because that was‍⁠​ something I had‌⁠​ heard from them⁠‍ already.

“Alicia‌ received the 『Red‌​ Horse of Nebann』⁠ and you got‌​ the 『Curse of​ Macha』, right?”

The⁠ horse Alicia received‌ was a really⁠‍ excellent horse. Although⁠‌ it wasn’t at​​ the level of‍ Enbarr, the horse‍‍ that Park Sihu‍⁠⁠ got in the⁠⁠ last iteration, it‍ was still a superb magic horse.‍

It​ was the warhorse​​‍ of a goddess​‍​ that instilled fear​​ in living beings​‍⁠ and chased evil⁠ spirits away just​ with its presence.‍

Even‍⁠ though it fell​​ short compared to‍​⁠ the numerous legendary‍‌ and epic items⁠‌ that you could⁠ obtain at Mag⁠​ Mell, it was⁠‌‍ definitely in the​ realm of a treasure.

“Nn.⁠⁠⁠ And as for⁠ mine, even though‌‌⁠ I can only‌​‍ use it on‍ men… it is‌ a powerful curse⁠ that can be⁠ used on a large scale as‍‌‍ long as I make enough preparations.”⁠

“From‌ what I heard,‍‌​ it sounded… pretty⁠ spooky.”

The‌⁠ Curse of Macha​‍‍ that Marie received‌‌ from Oengus was​ a curse that⁠‌‌ could only be​⁠‍ inflicted on men.​ An AOE skill⁠‍​ that…

“Making‌ them feel the‍ pain of childbirth‍​‌ for 9 days…‌ Isn’t that too​ evil?”

“Definitely​‍⁠ not something to‌‍ be used lightly.”⁠‍​

Although⁠‌ it certainly was‌ a powerful curse,​ there were a lot of conditions‍‍⁠ that had to⁠​‌ be met, and‌‌⁠ there was the⁠ downside that it‌‍ didn’t work on⁠‌‍ people with a high enough magic‍​ resistance.

I was thinking about⁠ where we could‌ possibly make use⁠ of that curse⁠‍ when Marie slightly‍​‌ changed the topic.⁠

“Korin.‌⁠ Did you hear‍​ about the present‍ that Hua Ran‍‌ got?”

“No?‌‌⁠ She refused to‌​‌ tell me about⁠‍⁠ it.”

“Hnn~‌‍ I see~ I see, huh.”

-Meoww⁠⁠‍

It‍ was highly likely‍ that I was‌‍ thinking things, but​⁠ I had a feeling that Navi​⁠ was acting strange⁠​ for a while​‍ – she appeared‌​‌ hostile to Marie…‍​‌

“You⁠⁠ should ask her‍‌ one day! More‌⁠ importantly, Navi~? Shall⁠​⁠ we go outside​‍​ and play together?”⁠

“Meowww…!”‌​

Navi​​ gave a sharp‍ growl in return​ but didn’t run‌‍ away from her‍⁠⁠ hands. It was⁠ my first time⁠⁠‍ seeing her being⁠ taken away by⁠‌ someone else.

For⁠ some reason, it⁠‍ felt… a bit​⁠ sad to see⁠​ that.

‘Anyway,⁠ what in the‌ world did Hua​​⁠ Ran get?’

I was feeling more‌‌​ and more curious‍‌​ when the sound⁠​ of a noisy⁠‍ alarm rang from‍‌ the headquarters of‌​ the Guardians office.‍⁠

-BEEEEEEEEEP!!‍​​

Echoing⁠‍ across the office‍‍‍ was a sharp⁠ noise that was‍ solely used for⁠ gathering the attention‍⁠ of those listening.​ Besides, it wasn’t​‌​ just a normal‍⁠ warning alarm – it was a sound that alerted‍‍​ of something a lot more dangerous‍ and urgent.

“Korin.​‍ What is this?”​‍⁠

“…What’s‍⁠‌ going on?”

“Meow?”⁠

Letting​​ go of Navi,​⁠⁠ we quickly headed‍⁠ to the office.‍⁠

——————!!!!!​

——————!!!!!‍‌

——————!!!!!‍‍​

After⁠⁠ creating a guild,‌ there was no‍​ need to bother‌⁠​ heading to the⁠‍‍ Mission Board to​ accept a quest.‌ It was because‌ you could construct‍ a magic mission‌ board inside the‌‌‌ office that updated‌ the missions in⁠‍​ real time, after‌​‌ leveling up the⁠ guild building.

Real-time​ update meant that‌‍‍ it could also⁠‌ serve as a device that allowed⁠​‍ the Alliance to​‍ send notifications to‍ various guilds.

Those‍‍ could include notices⁠ of conferences regarding‌ guild promotions, training​ modules and—

『A‌‍‍ notice from the​ Central Guardian Alliance⁠ to 15 cities​ near and including‍ Merkarva.』

『Following‌ Section 39 Clause⁠‍⁠ 4 of the‍ Kingdom Military Service⁠‌⁠ Act, this is⁠ a notification in⁠‍ case of an⁠​⁠ emergency. Every registered‌​ Guardians Guild must‍ collaborate with the‍​ administrations of each‍‌​ city, halt every‍​ other operation and​ wait for further​​⁠ orders.』

『This‍ is not a training exercise. I repeat. This is⁠​ not a training‍‍ exercise.』
