I Killed an Academy Player Chapter 167: Side Story – Park Sihu (2)

Chapter 167: Side Story – Park Sihu (2)

“Fuck.”‍

Sihu…‍ or rather, Sirin,​⁠⁠ was experiencing some⁠​‌ stressful stomachaches these​​⁠ days, why you‍‍ may ask? The​‌ reason was none⁠‍​ other than her‍‍‌ first love.

“Wow,‍‌​ Mielle, your cake‍‍‌ looks amazing. Let‍‌​ me try one.”‌

“Nn?‍‍​ Sure. Thanks for‌​ saying that. Here​‍ you go~. I’ll‍​ give you one‍‍​ more.”

“Awesome.‍​ Not only is‍⁠ the cake delicious,‌⁠​ but you’re also‍ incredibly nice, it⁠​‍ looks like!”

“Oh​⁠​ please. Stop with‍‍ the flattery! Fufu.”‌‍

Fuck.​

“Senior‌‌​ Riel. Where are‍ you going with‍‌ all that stuff?”‌‌

“Huh?‌ Oh, I’m in⁠​​ the middle of​‍⁠ carrying materials to⁠⁠‌ the laboratory.”

“How‍‌‌ are you going​ to carry that⁠ all the way‍‌​ there as a frail mage? Give​‌⁠ me half.”

“Oh,‍ thank you.”

“If‌‌​ you really are​⁠‌ grateful you can​ just treat me⁠​ to a meal⁠ as thanks.”

“Are​ you hitting on⁠⁠ me right now?”‌​‌

“Ehng?‍‍ My mind is​‌ as pure as‍​​ snow. Do you‍‍ want to open‌ it up for⁠‌‍ a look?”

“Hahaha!⁠​‍ You’re funny~. Let’s‌ decide on a date later. I’ll‍ take you out⁠​ to the town.”​​⁠

“Lucky~”⁠

Fuck.​‍

“Oh~‌⁠ Professor Deina! Are​‍ you still eating‍ some patches of⁠ grass?”

“Uhk…⁠ You can’t tease⁠⁠ professors, okay? You‍ have no idea‍​ how much I’m‍ struggling after the​⁠ King of Iron‍ Mountain incident…”

“I⁠⁠ got some sandwiches‍​‍ from Senior Elza.‌⁠‍ Would you like⁠‍ some?”

“…I​⁠ will. Thanks as‌ always. And this‌‍⁠ isn’t just some​⁠‌ random grass. I’m‍ taking herbs to‍‌ cook at home.”‍

“Hoh,​​‍ so you were⁠‍‌ having something good​‍‍ the whole time.‍​ Can you share​⁠​ it?”

“I,‍⁠⁠ if you come⁠ over to my‍‍‌ place then… I guess I can‌‌‌ give you some.”‍‍⁠

***⁠‌

“Knight‌‍​ Ahjussi~. Do you⁠‍‌ want to drop‍ by and see‌​​ Navi?”

“Sure.​​ Is Navi being​⁠‍ good these days?”‌

“Yes!​‍ He never goes‌‍ near the sewers⁠ anymore!”

“Of‌ course, he shouldn’t.‍ By the way,‌‍‍ Lady Anna? Miss​ Anna McMillan? Didn’t⁠⁠⁠ I tell you​‍​ to call me‌ ‘Oppa’ and not‍‍ ‘Ahjussi’?”

“Korin‌​‌ Ahjussi!”

“Sob⁠ sob…! Call me‌​ oppa just once,⁠ and this oppa‍‌ will buy you‌‍ one of those‍‌​ popular marinated chickens.​⁠ You see, I’m‌⁠ a very close​‍ friend of Boss‍‌‍ Yoon.”

“Hmm~,‍​ when I become‍ an adult!”

“Do⁠‍‍ I need to‌ wait 10 years‍‍ to be called‌‌⁠ ‘oppa’…?”

“Can‍ I call you‍​​ ‘Honey’ when that‌‍​ time comes? My⁠‌ parents said that’s‍ what you use‍ after getting married!”⁠⁠

“That’s‌‍‌ one hefty plan​‌ you have in‌‍ mind… Am I not allowed to‌​ have a girlfriend‌⁠ then?”

“You‌‌ cannot! If you‍‌‌ do, I’ll call‌‍⁠ you ahjussi your‍‍​ entire life!”

What⁠‍​ the fuck is​⁠​ with this guy.​⁠

Korin​‌ Lork – the​ man that I fell for, had‌‌‍ an ingenious talent‌​ at something.

He‍⁠ was a genius⁠ at hitting on⁠ girls.

After​ just sharing a few words with​‍​ him, for some​ reason, all the​ girls started to‍ harbor good feelings‌ towards him.

Honestly,‌ it wasn’t like⁠​​ I couldn’t understand‌​‌ it as a girl myself.

His‍‌‍ face was beyond‍ decent, and his‍⁠ personality was well-known‍‍‌ across the campus‌⁠​ for being great​‌ regardless of who‍​ he was talking⁠ to. On top⁠‌​ of that, his‌ manner of speech‍‍ was also special‌​ – each and⁠​ every one of⁠‍ his words put⁠‌​ the other person⁠​ in a good​​​ mood.

What‌‌ was even more‌‌ difficult to understand,‌‌⁠ however, was…

“Hey,⁠​‌ Professor Deina gave⁠ me some food.‌‌‌ Do you want​‌​ some? It tastes​‌⁠ like something I had back on⁠‌ Earth.

“Senior‌‍⁠ Jenna wanted to‍ grab a meal⁠‌‍ for dinner. Do⁠​‌ you want to‍‌ come together?

“A​ while ago, I went to watch‍‍‌ a play with​‌⁠ Ms. Juri and⁠⁠‌ it was fun.‌‌‍ I was kind‌⁠‌ of looking down‌ on it because​​ it’s like the‍ Middle Ages right‌‍⁠ now, but damn,​ they’re using magic‍ for special effects⁠ and stuff, and‌‌‌ it’s incredible.

“Huh?​‌⁠ Nah, dude. Haha,⁠​​ what are you⁠‌ saying? We’re just‌‍ friends. I’ve never​⁠ dated anyone before,‌‍‌ so don’t you‍ go around teasing‍​⁠ me like that.‍

“Ah~,‍‌ but I do​⁠‍ miss Younghee-noona. She​⁠ used to invite‍ me for breakfast‌ every day for⁠‍​ a sandwich. I miss those.

“I​⁠ wonder what Hanbyul​​ is doing. Oh‍ right, she used​ to do Personal​‍‌ Training like me,⁠‍‍ and was such‌⁠ a nice girl.⁠ She gave me‌ a free massage​⁠‌ and even brought⁠‍ my lunch when​⁠ I told her⁠​ I was starting‍⁠​ to get sick⁠‍‍ of chicken breasts.‍‌⁠ She was such‌⁠​ a hard worker​ as well.

“Hnn?⁠​ Why do I know so much​‌‍ about desserts? Have‍‍ I not mentioned‌​⁠ this before? You​​⁠ know, ‘Seyoung’? She‌‌ was the one‌‍ that had to​‍ be match-fixed because‌‌⁠ of the coach.‌‌‌ We became friends‍‌​ after that and​⁠ went around the‌‌‌ city together. She‌​ was always so​⁠‌ apologetic that I had to tell⁠ her it was​⁠‍ fine every time.”​

This​​‍ guy. He’s clueless.‌​

It‍ was extremely surprising,‍‌ but he didn’t​‍ have a single‍‍⁠ ulterior motive.

Because​ he kept flirting⁠‍ without any ulterior​⁠​ motives, the girls⁠ accepted his approach⁠⁠ comfortably, which naturally‌ escalated to them‌ having feelings for⁠‍​ him.

In​ fact, listening to‍ his stories, it⁠‌‍ seemed that even‍​ ‘guys’ were into​‌ him, but he‌‌ was under the‍ impression that they‌‌ were his best​ friends.

What‍‌ kind of normal⁠​‌ male would ask⁠‍ their male friend‌ to go to⁠‍ Hokkaido for hot‌‌ springs and go‍​⁠ to a gay‌​⁠ bar together? Korin‍‍‌ himself seemed to‌ be thinking that⁠​⁠ his friend accidentally‌⁠‌ stumbled upon the⁠‍​ bar because he​ was too drunk,‍‌ but that certainly​ didn’t sound like‍⁠ it.

Even​‍‌ though he went​ down the route⁠ of all-boys middle‍‍‌ school, all-boys high​ school, physical education​ college, and the⁠ military, which should​ have close to​‍ zero relations to‌‌⁠ females, there were⁠​‍ so many females⁠‍‍ around him that‌‍‍ it was insane.‌

And⁠ yet he was⁠ saying he had​⁠⁠ never dated anyone​⁠ let alone gotten​​ close to it,‌ which must be⁠⁠ the proof of​ his horrifying denseness.⁠‌⁠

“Haa…”‍⁠

After‍ dropping some sweat‌ in the training⁠ room, I went‍‌ into the sauna⁠⁠ and sighed after‌‌‍ seeing my muscular‍‍⁠ body.

There⁠‌‌ was no longer⁠‍ a single leftover‍⁠ trace of the⁠‍ top celebrity of‌​ Yonsei’s Maths Department,‍​ Park Sirin.

Back‍ on Earth, I was a popular​‍​ female college student.‍‍‍ The future ahead⁠ of me was‍‌​ bright, and there‍ were a bunch‍‍ of men coming​​ after me.

And‍ yet now, I was forced to​‌⁠ physically train myself⁠ with a guy⁠‌⁠ who used to‍ be a Personal‌⁠ Trainer at a gym. I wanted‌​ to decline, saying⁠​‍ that mages had⁠‌⁠ no use for⁠‌‌ muscles, but there​​​ was no other‌‍ way around it⁠​ in order to⁠‌ be next to⁠​ Oppa, who swung‌ his spear the⁠ entire day at⁠⁠​ the training room.⁠

Besides,‌ this guy was⁠‍ bound to attract‍ girls if he‍​ was left to​​‍ his own devices,‍ and I had​ to avoid him⁠​ ending up with‌‌ a woman from‌ this world.

Because‍ Oppa has to‍ go back to‍‌ Earth with me.​‌‌

He⁠‌‌ was already a very affectionate person,​‍ so there would​​​ be no hope‍ if he ended​‍⁠ up with a fake woman from⁠​‌ this world and⁠ created a family.​‍

“Phew~.‌⁠⁠ These saunas feel​⁠​ amazing~. As expected⁠⁠‍ of a Korean⁠‌ game.”

Until⁠‍‌ then… I had‌​ to make sure⁠⁠​ this guy wouldn’t⁠ turn somewhere else.​

“Stop‍ saying that all​‍‍ the time. You‌⁠​ sound like an⁠ old man.”

“I‌ am an old⁠‍ man if you⁠​‍ think about it.‌‍ I’m over 40‌ years old if⁠ you add my​‌⁠ current age with‌ how old I was back on‌‌​ Earth.”

“…Why‍⁠ would you even‍⁠ add those up?”‍

It‍​ seemed that these‌‍ days, he was‍​⁠ having an identity‌ crisis as Korin⁠⁠ Lork. I tried‍‌​ to make him‌⁠ think of himself⁠‍⁠ as a different​ persona than the⁠​ one in this‍⁠ world, but he⁠​ was such an⁠ optimistic and non-cynical‍ person that it‍​ was hard to‌ do so.

“Huu~.​‌‍ I can’t even‌ bulk up anymore.‌⁠ Is this the‌⁠⁠ limit?”

“Well…​ you look great‍⁠‌ already.”

Haa…​‍‌ Look at that​ line coming down⁠​ from his collarbone⁠ to the chest‌ and those abs…‌ Just look at​ those muscles.

Haa…‌⁠ How can a guy be so‍‌⁠ handsome? No wonder​ these bitches are‌ constantly after him.⁠‍‌

“By‍⁠⁠ the way, Sihu,⁠ you have all‌⁠ these muscles but⁠​⁠ your face hasn’t‌‌ changed a single‌‍‌ bit.”

“It’s‌ the playable character​ so there’s no⁠ way my face‌⁠ would change that⁠ easily.”

Although‌‍ I had a six-pack thanks to‍ Oppa, my face⁠‍‌ was still leaning​ more towards the​​​ beautiful side of‌⁠ the spectrum. It‌ was thanks to‌ Park Sihu being‍​ a rather femininely‌‍ handsome character in‍‌​ the game.

“Sihu.”‍

“N,⁠‍​ nn?”

His​ face came closer​ in the blink‌ of an eye.​ Damn it… My‌ heart started to​‌ race the moment⁠​ he closed the⁠ distance.

Calm​​‌ down, my heart…‍⁠ Calm down…

“You‍⁠⁠ know how there’s​ an event at​​​ the start of⁠⁠ the 3rd year.”​​

“…There’s⁠‌‌ more than one‌ or two so​​‌ I have no‌​ idea what you⁠ mean.”

“The​​‌ cross-dressing one. How​⁠‌ about you try‍⁠⁠ that?”

“Ah,⁠ like… Come on!”⁠‌​

“What’s‌ wrong? The rewards‍⁠ from that are⁠ pretty good, aren’t⁠‍⁠ they? Besides, I can assure you​​ it will work‌ out with your​ face.”

“Shut​ your nonsense. There’s‍‍ no way guys‍⁠ can look like⁠​​ girls.”

“No,⁠​ like trust me.‍⁠ You’re really pretty,​⁠ okay? Your eyes‍ are big and​ you have a beautiful jawline. Honestly,‍‍ I swear people​ will mistake you⁠‍‍ for a girl‌‍ if you wear‌ a skirt.”

“…Really?”‍‌‌

This​‌‍ wasn’t my real‌ face – it‌ was just the⁠⁠⁠ face of Park‍ Sihu from the‌ game. On top‍⁠​ of that, I was a guy‌‍​ and yet it⁠⁠ felt great when​‌ Oppa was giving‌ me compliments about​​ my appearance.

Haa…​‌​ this is bad.‍

“…Haa.⁠‍ If you are⁠ the one dressing⁠ me up, bro,​ then I’ll think​‌ about it.”

“Ohh~.⁠‌‌ Good stuff. I’ll‌‌‍ get you everything‍‍‍ starting from a hat to tights.”​

“Whatever.⁠ Do you have​⁠ time tonight? I happened to get​‍⁠ 2 meal tickets‍ for Holy Panda…”​

“Ah,‌​‍ not today. One‍⁠‍ of our juniors‍⁠⁠ called Yuna said‍ there was something​ to consult about.​ She said she’ll⁠⁠​ buy me a meal.”

“Hah,‍ fuck.”

“Why‍‍​ are you swearing?”‌

“Haah…”⁠‌

What‌ was fortunate was‌‍ that this oppa‌ was unaware of​⁠ everything despite being⁠⁠‍ one hell of‍​⁠ a player.

I had been doing​⁠‌ a great job⁠‍ stopping everyone until⁠ now, and there​‌ was only 1 year left. By​ then, everything would‍​ be over – the final war‌‌‌ as well as⁠​​ the main scenario.​⁠⁠

***​⁠‌

“Shoot⁠‍ me down~ I won’t fall…! I am Tit—anium~~!”

The​‌ only downside to⁠‍ Oppa was that‌‍‍ he tended to​ sing when drunk.​⁠‍ It was rare‌⁠‌ for him to‌⁠​ get this drunk​ but today, he​⁠ drank without an‍‍‌ end and this‌ was the result.⁠‌

“Ah,‍ please. Can you‌‌⁠ stop singing? Are⁠ you trying to‍​‍ make an announcement‍ to the city‌ or what?”

We‌ couldn’t head back​​ to the Academy‌‌ in this state.​‌ I carried him⁠​ by the shoulder,‌ thinking that we‌‍​ should head to​‍ a nearby motel‍ but that was‌ when he flopped⁠‍‌ onto the ground.⁠​​

“I’m…‌‍ I’m, so fucking‌⁠ sorry…”

Oppa⁠‌‌ mumbled while shedding‌‌​ drops of tears⁠ for some reason.‍‍ It was hard‌ to tell what⁠‍ he was apologizing​‍‌ for.

“Marie…‌​ Hua Ran… Kranel,‌ Yuel… Fuck fuck.‌​‍ Fuck all this​‍ shit…”

Whenever‌​​ he was drunk,⁠ he recalled the​‌ people he couldn’t​ save and wept.⁠‌‌ He was such‌ an idiot though.‌⁠

Who⁠⁠ cares about those‌ NPCs?

“Fuck,​ fuck… Fuccckkk…! Why‌ did that fucking‍‌ dam! Why… Why⁠⁠ did it explode​ for no goddamn⁠ reason…?!”

Ah,‍ so today it‌ was about Roteon‌ River, huh? It​ was me who⁠​ did that though.‍

“It‍‍​ can’t be helped.​‌ No one knew‍ that would happen.”⁠

“We…‍ we lost way‌‍​ too many people,‍‍ Sihu… Fuck… What‍ the fuck have⁠⁠ I been doing…?⁠ I fucking knew​⁠​ everything… I… I knew everything and‍​ yet…”

We⁠‌ had been together‍​ for a very​ long time, but⁠⁠‍ it was really‌ difficult to understand​​ what was going​ on in his‍⁠‌ mind. Why did‍⁠ he grieve for‌ those fakes? Weren’t⁠​ they just NPCs​‌‌ of a game?‍⁠⁠ Why did he​ want to treat‌‍​ them like humans‌⁠ so badly?

All‍ he needed to⁠ do was look⁠ at me. We⁠‌ were the only​ real ones in‌‌​ this world after‌​ all.

“How⁠‌‌ is that your‍⁠ fault, bro? It’s⁠‌⁠ all because of​‍‌ Tates Valtazar and⁠​⁠ his vassals. You​ at least killed​ Fermack that fucker,​‍⁠ right?”

“…Yeah.​‍ Fuck. I, I killed him. That‍​​ son of a bitch. That mother‌⁠‌ fucker who killed‍‌​ Kranel…”

“There’s​ still a lot​​⁠ who we need​‍ to kill. It’s⁠‌ going to be⁠‍‍ the demi-human village​​ episode soon; we‌​⁠ need to rip​ those wolf siblings​ and Dun Scaith.‍ You and I can do this⁠‍‍ Bro.”

“It’s⁠ not enough… Maybe‌‌​ not you… but‍‍‌ I’m too weak.‍‍‌ I, I need​⁠ to be stronger…”‌⁠

Oppa’s‍ achievements were remarkable,​‍​ to say the​⁠ least. Unlike me,⁠ who had all‍ the systems and‍‌​ the hidden pieces​ for myself, Oppa‍‌ had nothing but‌ a spear.

I fed him all​‌ the good elixirs‍‍ and tried my​ best to help‍ him grow, but​‍⁠ there was a clear limit for‌⁠ the feeble side​‍‍ character, Korin Lork.​ In fact, it‌ was shocking that‌‍ he was able‌ to reach this‍‌ far despite those⁠⁠ restraints.

Although⁠​​ I wasn’t an​ expert at martial⁠⁠ arts, I could‍ still tell how‌​‌ much time he⁠​ must have spent‌⁠‍ when looking at‌ his manipulation of​‌​ the spear and‍​‌ footwork.

“Haa…”​‍‌

I knew of a way that would‍ let Oppa become‌⁠‍ stronger. All I had to do‍ was introduce him‍​ to her.

Being‍ an innate master‍⁠ of heroes… that‌‌​ woman would probably​‌‍ help Oppa grow⁠‍ to new heights,‌⁠‍ but the only‍‍ problem was…

‘What‍‌‍ if Erin Danua‍‌ also falls for​‍ him?’

It‌ was a concern‍​⁠ that this innate​ player might even‍⁠ make his master‍‌ develop a crush⁠‌ on him.

………⁠‍

……⁠

Korin‌​‍ Lork hitting on⁠⁠ girls was a very natural and‍​‌ inevitable turn of‌ events. The important‌‌ thing was to⁠‌ make sure the⁠ women’s favorable impressions⁠⁠ were never portrayed‌ to Korin by‍ making it so‌ that the party⁠⁠ was composed of‌‌​ only men.

Another‌​ important thing was⁠ to ensure Korin⁠ Lork wouldn’t find‌ out he was⁠‌ popular.

In‌​⁠ that sense, Park⁠ Sihu… or rather⁠​‌ Park Sirin did‍⁠⁠ a fantastic job​ with her defense.⁠ She had been‌‍‍ able to stop‍ all sorts of‌‍ approaches for two‌​⁠ straight years, after‍​‌ all.

Love​​ letters? She ripped‌​ them apart before‍‌‍ they reached him.​‍⁠

The⁠⁠ party? She even​‍‌ chased out Lunia,⁠ an incredible addition⁠‌‌ to the party,​⁠ and filled it‍‍‌ with men.

In‍‌ terms of actual‌⁠⁠ personal interactions in​ the Academy, that​‌‌ was actually the⁠​⁠ easiest to prevent⁠⁠ out of them​ all. Korin was‌‍ always busy training​‍ in the training​⁠ rooms, and Sirin​​⁠ took him out⁠​ for a mission​‌ whenever he was​‌‌ free.

Unable‌‌ to relay their‌‍‍ feelings to Korin,​⁠ the girls naturally⁠⁠‍ couldn’t help but‍ give up.

‘Saintess,⁠⁠ that bitch was⁠​​ a bit of‌⁠ a nuisance though.’‌‍⁠

Saintess‍‌‌ Estelle Hadassa El⁠ Rath. She was‌‍ a very powerful‌‍ supporter even in‍⁠ the game, and‌⁠ her prayers were‍‍ remarkable as a buff. Her prayers‌‌ were essential to⁠‌‌ clear the scenario‌‌ so Sirin couldn’t‌​‌ get rid of‍⁠ her either.

But​​​ still, she found‌​⁠ a way. It‌​​ was by putting‌⁠ the New Faith‌‍‌ in utter confusion,‍‌ by fueling Pope⁠⁠‌ Sicarii Iscariot’s charge‌ for heresy.

It⁠⁠ was an incredible​‌ incident that involved‍‍ not only the​‌ pope but also‍​ 12 out of‍ the 18 cardinals.‍​‌ The long fight‍⁠‍ between the high​‍ priests of the​ order, who denied‍‌ their charges, and‍ the Saintess was⁠‍ bound to last‌‌‍ all the way‌ till the final‌⁠​ battle.

Even​⁠⁠ though it was‌​⁠ a shame that‌⁠‍ her buff wouldn’t⁠‍ be available until‍‍ then, it didn’t‍‍‌ really matter as‌​ long as they​⁠ could get a buff for the⁠ final war against‍‌ Tates Valtazar.

“Sihu…”‍⁠

With‍‌⁠ a serious look⁠‍⁠ on his face,‌‍‌ Korin said to‌⁠‍ Sirin, who boasted‌‍‌ of an insane​‍ defense rate that‍​‌ even managed to⁠ fend him off​‍ from the most‌ cumbersome woman.

“What’s‍‌‍ wrong? Is it‌ something big? Do​ you want to⁠​ chat at Holy‍⁠​ Panda?”

“I​ got a kid.”⁠⁠

“…What?”‍

“Aiya~‌‍ you see. Like…⁠‍​ it’s a bit⁠⁠⁠ funny to say‍​ it because it’s‍ with a boss‌‍⁠ character, but I became close with‌ Princess Miru at⁠ the royal banquet.​ But anyway, I’m​​⁠ a daddy now!⁠ Now’s the time‌⁠ for your best⁠ wishes!”

“…”​​

“Sihu?”‍

“You‍ freaking mother fucker.”‌‍

“???”‌‍‌
