Chapter 209: Autumn Harvest Festival (6)

“That was you, Hua…?”

I was a fan of small animals just like many others and liked the images and videos of dogs and cats being uploaded on Youxube and Instargram.

And yet… that…

So when Navi came to me, I screamed, “At last! atlas I was finally chosen as a butler!”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 209: Autumn Harvest Festival (6) by Indra Translations.

“How did you… do it?”

As if she wasn’t expecting this in the slightest, Hua mumbled and couldn’t properly finish her sentence.

“W, wait… Like, it’s… this is not… like…”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 209: Autumn Harvest Festival (6) by Indra Translations.

Deeply embarrassed, her head was drooping low as she quietly mumbled her response.

“At M, Mag Mell… Oengus…”

Basically, it went like this.

In the Treasure Island of Mag Mell, Marie, Alicia, and Hua Ran were each introduced to a goddess by Oengus.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 209: Autumn Harvest Festival (6) by Indra Translations.

“The Shapeshift of Morrigans, huh…?”

The three goddesses of war, who supported the God of the Sun Nuada, each gave them a present. wizard Alicia was given the red warhorse from Nemain; Marie the Curse of Macha and Hua Ran…

They were the Morrigans – the three goddesses of war: Badb, Macha, and Nemain.

However, it was a skill that would have others questioning, “But why this instead of all the other treasures from Mag Mell?” because of how it fell short compared to other treasures, and was, therefore, a skill that was only occasionally picked by the game-enjoyers.

The Shapeshift of Morrigans was a unique skill that also appeared in the game. echo It was fairly useful in open fields and life skills because one was able to change into all sorts of animals.

“…Yeah.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 209: Autumn Harvest Festival (6) by Indra Translations.

“So you shapeshifted into Navi and… for all this time…”

I was quite shocked. audit No wonder there was a cat that was following me so well. agent It was all an act, huh…?

Hua was very fidgety, not knowing what to do. avalanche She looked quite adorable which made me want to pull a prank.

“S, sorry… That wasn’t… my plan.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 209: Autumn Harvest Festival (6) by Indra Translations.

“What… is it?”

“…!”

“Let me scratch your belly.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 209: Autumn Harvest Festival (6) by Indra Translations.

“Wait—!”

The punch that I couldn’t even react to in time stopped right before my nose. arena She then said with a rare pout on her face.

She responded immediately after realizing that I was teasing her. legend At a speed too fast for me to react, she swung her fist filled with demonic aura.

“Puhup…!”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 209: Autumn Harvest Festival (6) by Indra Translations.

Her face immediately returned to being indifferent as she flopped down onto the sofa. legend She seemed quite depressed so I sat next to her.

“Sorry. aspect My bad.”

“Don’t tease me.”

– Bam!

“Cheer up. zenith Embarrassment is only temporary.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 209: Autumn Harvest Festival (6) by Indra Translations.

“This is such a precious opportunity so how can I… W, wait. abstract I understand! meadow I won’t tease you! armor Let me just hear the reason behind it though!”

“Uhk…”

“…I’m not like Ran.”

“I told you not to tease me.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 209: Autumn Harvest Festival (6) by Indra Translations.

“But I’m different. legend I don’t talk. advance My face doesn’t change much, and I have a terrible personality.

“Ran is adorable. attic She’s cute and social. arena It’s natural for her to be loved.

Hua wrapped her arms around her knees and quietly muttered.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 209: Autumn Harvest Festival (6) by Indra Translations.

“It’s the same for me,” I confessed.

She honestly revealed what she had been feeling while comparing herself to Ran. academy I had no idea she had been having such concerns.

“That’s why… I thought it would be difficult for me to be loved by you.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 209: Autumn Harvest Festival (6) by Indra Translations.

“You, Ran, Senior Marie, Alicia, and even Saintess Estelle. arena They all like me, but am I worthy of all that? amateur I’m a nobody. album Who am I to receive all that love from everyone?”

“What?”

Hua Ran said calmly, as though none of her words were made up.

“…That’s not true.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 209: Autumn Harvest Festival (6) by Indra Translations.

“Me…?”

“Same goes for you.”

“You are nice, kind and cool. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates. crystal You deserve all the love.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 209: Autumn Harvest Festival (6) by Indra Translations.

She tilted her head in disbelief, so I gave her a hug and reaffirmed it for her.

“…Really?”

“Yeah. airport You’re cute, adorable, and kind.”

“…Yeah.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 209: Autumn Harvest Festival (6) by Indra Translations.

I patted her head with a smile. orbit She was a very cute and lovable girl – a girl that I saved myself; a girl who loved someone like me.

“…What is it?”

“Can I… actually ask you for a favor though?”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 209: Autumn Harvest Festival (6) by Indra Translations.

– Bam!

“Kuhum…! apron If you don’t want to, I don’t mind dogs either!”

“O, once in a while… Can you turn into Navi and…”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 209: Autumn Harvest Festival (6) by Indra Translations.

That can’t be! amateur Was I unable to see Navi anymore?

“No.”

I was depressed beyond belief when Hua put her hands on my cheeks and forced my eyes to turn towards and remain looking at her.

“You have… me.”

“Huh?”

“You said… I’m adorable. action Just… touch me instead.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 209: Autumn Harvest Festival (6) by Indra Translations.

It might be nothing new but… Hua was a very straightforward girl.

“Umm…”

– Nod.

“Can I scratch your belly?”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 209: Autumn Harvest Festival (6) by Indra Translations.

[Trials of Linton] was a small event that wasn’t even introduced in the game.

Recently, I was starting to notice that I was becoming more and more shameless.

***

Aspiring students of Justice of the Peace were able to attend the contest and by having them partake in actual court cases from the past, they were assessed on whether their decisions were closer or even better than the precedent cases.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 209: Autumn Harvest Festival (6) by Indra Translations.

Mountain sides, islands, or villages close to borders without courts were like small closed-off societies. harbor In those areas, the village chiefs or the nobles were the judges and the prosecutors.

It was basically a Mock Trial.

A Justice of the Peace was essentially a judge with the power to enforce their orders.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 209: Autumn Harvest Festival (6) by Indra Translations.

What would happen if an outside judge were to show up and give them a sentence they didn’t like? timber They wouldn’t give a crap about the decision and proceed to crash the head of the judge.

A Justice of the Peace was like a walking courthouse.

That was why a Justice of the Peace had to be powerful, hence why most of them were guardians that thugs or normal soldiers couldn’t dare contend against.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 209: Autumn Harvest Festival (6) by Indra Translations.

“Are you confident, Boss?” atlas Ren voiced her concern. adopt “Didn’t you like, get your license in an underhanded manner?”

“That I cannot help but admit.”

They had to take the role of the prosecutor, the scribe, and the judge all by themselves. audit Knowledge was something that could be enhanced and strength was generally not a problem for superhumans, but the biggest issue was in their ability to make sound judgments as a judge. arcade It was very difficult to learn that.

That was why Professor Edgar, a former-JP, occasionally opened mock trials to teach students how to make impartial and informed judgments.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 209: Autumn Harvest Festival (6) by Indra Translations.

However, that one experience during the Mound incident was my only experience as a Justice of the Peace, and fundamentally, I wasn’t much different from the other peers of the course.

I was able to become a Grade 1 JP thanks to Marie’s help, and I was able to make use of that very effectively when it mattered the most.

“I had terrible marks for the written section, but I was still among the top students, you know?”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 209: Autumn Harvest Festival (6) by Indra Translations.

“Well, I had full marks for the prac exams.”

“Prac exams?” Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.

“…How is that even possible?”

As I said, Professor Edgar liked hosting mock trials to teach students on how to effectively make decisions, and the results of those mock trials were also reflected in the final mark.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 209: Autumn Harvest Festival (6) by Indra Translations.

“…How is that possible? anchor Didn’t you say you were bad at theory?”

“Fufu. alien You see, the legal knowledge doesn’t really matter as long as you know the fundamentals.”

“13 wins out of 13 trials. artist I have a 100% win rate.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 209: Autumn Harvest Festival (6) by Indra Translations.

“Student Korin.”

Leaving aside her skepticism, we went to the venue for the Mock Trial where Professor Edgar found me and said with a sigh.

“Professor Edgar.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 209: Autumn Harvest Festival (6) by Indra Translations.

I must be a strange student for him, considering how I failed the written exam and yet I was strong at mock trials. voyage Plus, there was also how I suddenly became a Grade 1 Justice of the Peace in the middle of the semester.

He appeared slightly hesitant after seeing me.

“Others won’t be thinking the same thing.”

“I’m pretty much just a Grade 1 JP in name only, so please let it slide.”

“To be frank,” he said, “I was considering stopping your entry because you are a Grade 1 JP, but that wouldn’t be fair in an event that is supposed to be for every student.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 209: Autumn Harvest Festival (6) by Indra Translations.

Professor Edgar adjusted his glasses with a frown.

“Uhm… Are they very difficult?”

“A more difficult set of court cases will be assigned for you, Student Korin. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com. academy You won all the mock trials during the course anyway, so that should set the balance.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 209: Autumn Harvest Festival (6) by Indra Translations.

Somehow, I was starting to get some bad vibes about this.

“I guess there’s no other choice. afford But please, don’t be too strict on me. amateur I do need that golden ribbon.”

“We have only taken actual cases that were personally dealt with by myself and my peers. atomic There will be a way out in all of them.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 209: Autumn Harvest Festival (6) by Indra Translations.

“Uhk… It breaks my heart that even a professor like you is saying that.”

“Ah~. accent I heard it from others. acquire Marrying into the Dunareff does have its hardships, I assume.”

“Anyway, Student Korin. atom You are a great fit for the position of a Justice of the Peace. admire I wish you all the best.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 209: Autumn Harvest Festival (6) by Indra Translations.

– I would, first off, like to convey my words of gratitude to former Justice of the Peace, Sir Claud, and Justice of the Peace, Madame Samantha for providing us with various court cases today. apron Please give them a round of applause.

Leaving those words behind (it was hard to tell whether he was trying to console or reprimand me), Professor Edgar returned to his seat. accent The small auditorium, where the Auction Contest was held, was once again the venue for this Mock Trial but this time, the host was Professor Edgar himself.

– Thank you very much for attending the 9th [Trials of Linton] today.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 209: Autumn Harvest Festival (6) by Indra Translations.

They would mostly just be officers of the Public Security Department or some former JPs, but it was still a great opportunity to see seniors in the field.

– Today, we are joined by the Deputy Minister of the Public Security Department, Mr. shadow Ronan, Superintendent Sir Barohk, Minister of Public Security Sir Dorman, Deputy Minister Gerald, and Minister Magar of the Department of Justice.

Clap clap clap clap!

Although it wasn’t a big event with a large number of contestants, this contest was still a very legitimate one. autumn It was because a lot of important figures in the industry would come visit to build a connection with former Grade 1 JP, Professor Edgar, and the future JPs.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 209: Autumn Harvest Festival (6) by Indra Translations.

Uhh… This was weird. beacon I heard the guests two years ago were just some former JPs and a team leader of the Public Security Department…

– But like, why?

– Wow! academy That’s all the big shots of the Public Security and the Department of Justice!

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 209: Autumn Harvest Festival (6) by Indra Translations.

The big shots on the stage must have been the ones that brought them here.

Even though it might be a fairly important event to meet potential JPs of the future, for them it shouldn’t be anything more than a playhouse of little kids, so why were these guys here?

Looking around the small auditorium, I couldn’t help but feel even more skeptical. acoustic It was because most of the people here appeared to be officers of Public Security and the Department of Justice.

– Well then… Before we begin, let me invite Minister Dorman of Public Security to have a word for us.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 209: Autumn Harvest Festival (6) by Indra Translations.

Professor Edgar also seemed to be finding it odd but handed the microphone over to the minister, as he couldn’t ignore the current powerhouses.

– Using this opportunity, I would love to send praises to one specific Justice of the Peace. academy Grade 1 JP Korin Lork! orbit The hero of the kingdom and a treasure to the legal industry!

– Hello. crystal I am Dorman, Minister of the Public Security Department. abandon Haha, there’s no need to be nervous, everyone. action I’m just an old man and a human like everyone else.

The middle-aged man with graying hair introduced himself like a gentleman. action This guy… he didn’t even show up much during the game so why was he here?

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 209: Autumn Harvest Festival (6) by Indra Translations.

Me? afford Why me?

“Ehk?”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 209: Autumn Harvest Festival (6) by Indra Translations.

“Everyone!” he then shouted at the crowd. august “Please remember this amazing Justice of the Peace! action He is a legendary JP who has caught numerous heinous wanted criminals!”

I didn’t catch anyone though…

Umm… Sorry? atom Did I?

Before I could say anything, the minister walked down the stage towards where I was sitting and gave me a hug as if we were close.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 209: Autumn Harvest Festival (6) by Indra Translations.

After finishing his shout, Minister Dorman whispered in a voice that no one else could hear.

I see. alert Now I understand why all these big shots are here.

“Please convey my greetings to Lady Marie Dunareff, Sir Baron.”

Hoh…

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 209: Autumn Harvest Festival (6) by Indra Translations.

– Good luck, Sir Lork!

The big shots of the industry took turns giving me praises to no end. abstract Only when it became excessively long did Professor Edgar chime in to put a stop. timber Finally, the event went on and I was the first to go.

They were trying to make connections with Marie through me, and that’s why they were giving me empty praises.

At this point… I couldn’t even deny the rumors that I was a playboy marrying into Marie’s family…

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 209: Autumn Harvest Festival (6) by Indra Translations.

The officers, who must have been told to do that by their superiors, cheered out loud in voices that didn’t sound very genuine.

– So coooool!

– I love you! afford Korin Lork!

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 209: Autumn Harvest Festival (6) by Indra Translations.

“Well then, here comes the first trial. audit Student Muller, you will be the Justice of the Peace this time and Student Korin will be the defendant.”

Normally, I would have joked around to enliven up the mood but I was afraid of the excessive reaction they might make so I decided to refrain for today. orbit Thankfully, Professor Edgar also sensed the mood and quickly proceeded with the event.

A trial held by a Justice of the Peace was very special.

Is this… the sweet taste of authority?

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 209: Autumn Harvest Festival (6) by Indra Translations.

Systematically, it was heavily unfavorable for the defendant.

This was also why JPs were unproportionally overpowered. silence They were the judge and the prosecutor and yet the defendant didn’t even have access to a lawyer.

The JP took the role of the prosecutor and the judge, and the defendant didn’t have a lawyer.

That was normal considering how difficult it was to find lawyers in countryside towns and villages. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors. matrix Besides, time was of the essence in most cases so the defendants had to defend themselves.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 209: Autumn Harvest Festival (6) by Indra Translations.

That’s why the case is important. timber I need to at least find a way to prove my innocence.

In mock trials that took the form of Best of 3, what mattered the most was thus how you responded as a defendant. ability If one could win in a situation that should be unfavorable for yourself, it was highly likely that would lead to your overall victory in the mock trial.

Naturally, most of the cases here would be examples of the JP winning the trial. atom However, that didn’t mean the judge had a definitive chance of winning in the mock trial between students.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 209: Autumn Harvest Festival (6) by Indra Translations.

“Defendant Korin Lork. alien You were prosecuted for allegations of immorality.”

Easy. voyage Sexual crimes don’t have much evidence. arch As unfortunate as it is, it is going to be favorable for the defendant.

Both the judge and the defendant in this case were newbies of the same level. ability As long as I could dig in through the logical gaps, I could flip the case as easily as a coin!

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 209: Autumn Harvest Festival (6) by Indra Translations.

“…Dafuq did you say?!”

“Defend yourself for the wicked act of bestiality you have committed by raping a goat.”

There weren’t any DNA tests in this world. matrix As long as I could find where the gap was in logic—
