Chapter 218: Garrand the Sword Emperor (3)

The young swordsman Garrand Arden, who had been gaining fame as a rising powerhouse, came to provide support as a representative of the Arden Household of the East.

In his childhood, there was a time when an infamous monstrous bull was rampaging around in the West. matrix All the powerful guardians that tried to stop the bull were killed, and right when that demonic beast was getting closer to the royal capital was when he showed up.

President Redic Georgio was a man who had somewhat gone through the same generation as the Sword Emperor.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 218: Garrand the Sword Emperor (3) by Indra Translations.

It was a one-sided victory. palette The tremendous aura bulging out of his steel-like muscles flew the gigantic bull into the sky.

Monsters of the decade were all sliced apart by his sword and countless swordsmen followed him out of respect.

His fame only continued to rise after that.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 218: Garrand the Sword Emperor (3) by Indra Translations.

Even when Redic reached the age of 40 and became an executive of the Association, the Sword Emperor never grew old.

However, the Sword Emperor did not become any weaker.

Actually, his body which had been as big as the mountain had shrunk, and he no longer had the ridiculous amount of aura flowing out of him. anxiety Because of that, Redic lamented once, thinking that that was the downfall of his hero.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 218: Garrand the Sword Emperor (3) by Indra Translations.

It was hard to fathom how a swordsman standing on the ground could possibly be able to do that, but that was exactly why the Sword Emperor was a living legend—he was the pinnacle of the Guardian Association and the swordsman representing his generation.

A target of utmost respect and admiration for all knights.

Therefore, the Sword Emperor personally suggesting a duel was a great honor that anyone should immediately bow to… And yet

When a gigantic bird was scorching a city to ashes from the sky, he simply slashed once to drop it onto the ground.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 218: Garrand the Sword Emperor (3) by Indra Translations.

Korin Lork turned him down in a flash.

There weren’t that many people present in the first place, but even then, it was so silent that not even the sound of a breath could be heard.

The silence continued for a long time.

“…Me? meadow Why would I? armor I don’t want to.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 218: Garrand the Sword Emperor (3) by Indra Translations.

“Are you trying to avoid my test?” arena The Sword Emperor was the one who broke the silence.

“It’s just a friendly spar to test your skills.”

“A duel against the Sword Emperor just isn’t a fair deal.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 218: Garrand the Sword Emperor (3) by Indra Translations.

When Korin looked at him with a gaze suggesting, “Are you sure you’ll be content with just that?” the Sword Emperor curled one of the corners of his lips down like a child whose lies had been seen through.

There was no way a duel between people like the Sword Emperor and Korin would just end as a normal duel.

“I don’t think it’ll end there.”

“What a boring man.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 218: Garrand the Sword Emperor (3) by Indra Translations.

『Magnificent. anchor Another 10 years and it’ll be a sight to behold. galaxy Go embrace Lunia as soon as you recover from your wounds. autumn You have this old man’s permission.』

In fact, Korin had a history of almost losing one of his arms in a duel against him in the last iteration. adapt His arm was dangling until he put it back together.

That damn old man. alpha He never has a middle ground.

Even Alicia tended to sometimes unknowingly cross the line in her utmost concentration, so how would it be any different with the Sword Emperor? sphere It wouldn’t be strange for it to become a life-or-death battle.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 218: Garrand the Sword Emperor (3) by Indra Translations.

“Huhahaha…! academy What a daring young man! alpha There are thousands who bring their entire fortune just to see my sword.”

It seemed to have been his way of testing his granddaughter’s partner.

“You need to strike a deal if you want to fight me. ability You can’t just have it happen with a few words.”

“More importantly, can I ask you a question?” All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com

“Chairman Eriu Casarr recommended I have a chat with you.”

Eriu Casarr.

“Hoh. autumn How shameless after turning down my offer in a breeze.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 218: Garrand the Sword Emperor (3) by Indra Translations.

Garrand said in reminiscence of his past.

“Eriu Casarr, huh? apron Met him a few times when I was young. avalanche They say he died recently but well, that’s utter nonsense.”

The old man’s face went through an immediate change the moment he heard the name of the former chairman of Merkarva Academy, who was pronounced dead.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 218: Garrand the Sword Emperor (3) by Indra Translations.

“What do you mean?”

Eriu Casarr was a rune puppet that Erin Danua had made in order to look after the Academy in her sealed state.

Korin obviously knew she wasn’t dead, but why was Garrand so certain about it, despite not knowing the connection between the two?

There was a part of his response that piqued Korin’s curiosity.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 218: Garrand the Sword Emperor (3) by Indra Translations.

“Young man. zenith You seem to know something.”

“That lofty spearman dying to some randoms from the Tower of Mages? acid Absolutely no chance.”

“…I see.”

The Sword Emperor opened his palm and reminiscently gazed down at it.

“No comment. galaxy But… he seemed to believe that you would be able to teach me something.”

“Haha. arrow Just what I would expect from him. meadow I’ve learned a lot of great lessons from Eriu Casarr, so it would serve me right to pay that back to his disciple.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 218: Garrand the Sword Emperor (3) by Indra Translations.

“Everything; be it parents, siblings, status, authority, belongings…! avalanche All of that was meaningless. alpha I pursued power alone and was intoxicated by it.

Born as the oldest son of the Arden Household, he trained his innate talents as well as his strength to the extreme. abandon Urged by his hunger for more power, he enhanced his muscles, strength, and devoured elixirs to amplify his aura.

“Ever since I began walking down the path of swords, I had been drowned in an unsatiated thirst for power.”

He was reaching 60 years of age and his body was showing signs of it. athlete Although he was still healthy, and he would most certainly go past 100 years with the aura he had built up… his body was still incomparably weaker than how it was in his prime.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 218: Garrand the Sword Emperor (3) by Indra Translations.

God of Strength.

“There was no one back then to fight against me, and I was strong enough to be left behind in the annals of history. audit Some even called me a god.”

“I remember the time I met that crazy bull from the West. altitude He was pretty big. palette He was as big as a house so I tried stopping him with my bare body and tossed him away. auction What I realized then was that he was way too light.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 218: Garrand the Sword Emperor (3) by Indra Translations.

He was no longer in the realm of humans; he had way too much strength and power, and the young swordsman back then had the right to dare call himself a god.

“I cut down more than a hundred thousand demons! legend I’ve protected territories beyond what you could possibly see! apron And I saved at least a million!

The Sword Emperor declared.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 218: Garrand the Sword Emperor (3) by Indra Translations.

“And that was when I met your master.”

He lifted his sword. riddle Looking at the gleaming blade reflecting the sunlight, he seemed bewitched by the sword as he recalled each and every single thing that happened in the past with utmost concentration.

“I was the strongest being in existence! sphere Second to none! admire I had no doubt that I was invincible!

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 218: Garrand the Sword Emperor (3) by Indra Translations.

“He was weak. autumn I was looking forward to meeting the chairman of an Academy, but the power residing in his physical body was a fraction of the Great Witch following behind him.”

He was re-manifesting the shocking scene from back then in his mind.

That was natural because Eriu Casarr was a puppet created with runes that only moved with a small amount of aura and mana.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 218: Garrand the Sword Emperor (3) by Indra Translations.

“I finally met the real one.

“However, it was my defeat. ability The strongest attacks of my sword couldn’t reach him, and my earth-shattering explosion of aura was unable to shake him.

“Six Ways of the Spear – hidden within that divine spearmanship was a profound truth that I couldn’t grasp.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 218: Garrand the Sword Emperor (3) by Indra Translations.

He simply went back to training the way of the sword.

After that encounter, Garrand Arden took a completely different route.

The downward strikes that he had been practicing for greater output, as well as elixirs for more aura… He gave up everything.

“And at last, when my muscles deteriorated and when my aura was no longer enough to cover the earth.”

The Sword Emperor carried his sword,

“Uahhh…”

“Ahh…”

It was a swing as gentle as the mountain breeze but—

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 218: Garrand the Sword Emperor (3) by Indra Translations.

Turning around, they saw that the clouds, the sky, and the world… had been cut into two.

“…”

Everyone there felt something. afford They felt with their skin the vibration in the atmosphere.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 218: Garrand the Sword Emperor (3) by Indra Translations.

“…”

“My sword reached the heavens, thus completing my Heavenly Sword.”

Cutting the sky. riddle After nonchalantly completing that nonsensical feat, he pointed the tip of his sword at Korin.

“What ‘truth’ will you embed in your spear? alert What is the ‘Domain’ that you wish to reach in your life?”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 218: Garrand the Sword Emperor (3) by Indra Translations.

Korin knew of 4 different Domains.

Alicia Arden. portal Infinity Exceeding the Domain.

A sword that cuts everything within a radius of a kilometer.

A divine sword that could cut through the sky.

A divine spear with no gaps.

What is so different about their swords and spears, that they reached a realm transcending the Domain?

Garrand Arden. attic Severing Heaven.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 218: Garrand the Sword Emperor (3) by Indra Translations.

“Think about just one thing and one thing alone. audit Combine all of your future aspirations and the Domain into your profound ‘truth’. palette Only through a harmony of the heart, mind, and body added with your perception, realm, and truth will you reach the ultima.”

“The ultima?”

“There is only one answer. aspect It is to pursue the ultima.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 218: Garrand the Sword Emperor (3) by Indra Translations.

That was the same thing that Erin had said, and Korin was reminded that he had to pursue the answer himself.

You must be enlightened to it yourself.

“…That is a very ambiguous explanation. atlas Can you make it any simpler?”

“How can you seek an easy answer forward from where you are already at? action This is not something that can be learned; you must be enlightened to it yourself.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 218: Garrand the Sword Emperor (3) by Indra Translations.

“…If you wish.”

Korin manifested the Sun as he wanted.

“If you don’t want to fight, that’s fine too. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com. academy I was intrigued by the prospect of someone else that can see the Domain, but looks like you’re not there yet. arcade Show me that Sun of yours already.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 218: Garrand the Sword Emperor (3) by Indra Translations.

“The Sun, huh? aluminum I’d been wanting to cut it down for a while.”

A tremendous amount of mana filled the world as a ball of blazing heat appeared above them.

In front of the comparatively small yet massive Sun that was heating up the world, Garrand Arden muttered with a click of his tongue.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 218: Garrand the Sword Emperor (3) by Indra Translations.

The Sun was bisected into halves.

“M, my word…!”

As soon as he sliced down with the sword…

“Huaak…!”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 218: Garrand the Sword Emperor (3) by Indra Translations.

Garrand Arden turned around after finishing his words. beacon But before disappearing off, he said as if he suddenly remembered something.

“That’s it for the test. alert You can do whatever you want for the evaluation, President.”

“If you want both of my granddaughters, you must complete your ultima beforehand. sphere Then I will lend a hand with your marriage to Lunia and Alicia. adapt I don’t mind giving you Arden.”

“…I swear there is something wrong with all of your views on marriage.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 218: Garrand the Sword Emperor (3) by Indra Translations.

“H, huu… Mr. beacon Korin. atom Are you going to do it?”

He walked off after leaving those words behind, and that was when Alicia approached from a distance.

“Hahaha…! crystal Heroes love women! shadow Having an abundance and seeking even more is the right and duty of the strong!”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 218: Garrand the Sword Emperor (3) by Indra Translations.

“H, hmm… I, I see. palette To receive permission… from grandpa… Mhmm~. atomic N, not bad.”

Korin had to become stronger; even stronger than Garrand the Sword Emperor and Erin Danua, his master.

Because his final goal was the worst enemy, Tates Valtazar; and if embedding his profound truth into his spear was a requirement to defeat him… Korin had to definitely make it happen.

“Huh? arctic Yeah, of course.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 218: Garrand the Sword Emperor (3) by Indra Translations.

“Alicia?”

“Umm… R, right.”

“I’m cheering for you! aspect Good luck!”

Korin was really afraid of the Arden Household.

***

He was reminded once again how Sophia, who married into the household, was the only one sane person there.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 218: Garrand the Sword Emperor (3) by Indra Translations.

That was unavoidable because Alicia had lower specs in comparison to everyone else.

Korin Lork officially became a Unique Grade guardian.

Unique Grade guardians were so rare that some generations went on without a single one of them appearing, and yet three of them had appeared at once. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com. autumn This was enough to create an incredible commotion, but there was something else that called for even more attention.

Hua Ran and Marie also became one, and Alicia received the evaluation of a semi-Unique Grade.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 218: Garrand the Sword Emperor (3) by Indra Translations.

“I will be the president of the Central Guardian Association from now on. autumn Any objections?”

“…”

“…”

No one stepped forth, which was nothing abnormal.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 218: Garrand the Sword Emperor (3) by Indra Translations.

President Redic himself was transferred into the position of a high-ranking executive of the South, and although Korin’s Sun had been cut into two by the Sword Emperor, not a single one that witnessed it doubted the destructiveness of the Sun.

The succession of the presidential position went on without any hindrance.

They might have had an excuse to raise an objection if there was a political method to stop him, but the new president was one who had the full-on support of the Dunareff to the South, and the Chapel of Zeon to the West.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 218: Garrand the Sword Emperor (3) by Indra Translations.

Actually, there was one.

“I cannot allow this! adjust You young brat!”

He had the trinity of power, authority, and wealth, so who could possibly turn him down just because he was young?

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 218: Garrand the Sword Emperor (3) by Indra Translations.

“And who might you be?”

“Why? abandon What are you so discontent with?”

“Grade 1 Knight, Gale Bogman! adjust I devoted my life to the Association for 30 whole years! athlete Do you think I will allow a young kid from who knows where to suddenly become the next president? action As if!”

The man seemed discontent by the fact that the presidential position, which he had been eyeing, had been taken away by a random brat all of a sudden.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 218: Garrand the Sword Emperor (3) by Indra Translations.

“Kuhk…!”

“For example, money? action Authority? audit Connections?”

“I admit you’re strong! antique But what else do you have apart from that?”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 218: Garrand the Sword Emperor (3) by Indra Translations.

In addition to that was how the previous president and the top executives must have received some kind of beneficial treatment; they didn’t disagree with an 18-year-old kid becoming the next president.

Gale couldn’t find the words to say.

The new president would be supported by the New Faith and the Dunareff.

They were so quiet that it was unnatural. attic Even the royal court didn’t disagree and simply sent a messenger to congratulate him.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 218: Garrand the Sword Emperor (3) by Indra Translations.

Gale stopped his own tongue in the middle of his sentence.

“B, but… Someone without achievements cannot become the…”

It was true that the new president didn’t have a heap of achievements, but the ones he showed until now were all significant.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 218: Garrand the Sword Emperor (3) by Indra Translations.

There was no one who could deny the fact that this man was a Unique Grade and one of the strongest guardians in the history of the Association.

King of Iron Mountain, saving the Saintess, as well as the might he displayed during the Mound incident. zenith Every single one of them was a heroic legend.

He had done things that hundreds of guardians might not be able to do, with a small group of people.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 218: Garrand the Sword Emperor (3) by Indra Translations.

“Marie Dunareff is the new president of the Southern Association, and Hua Ran is the president of the Western Association. arena You know that, right?”

Of course.

With just one document, it took them less than one week to shut everyone’s mouth using their wealth and authority.

Immediately after becoming Unique Grade, they used their right to immediately become the presidents of each branch.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 218: Garrand the Sword Emperor (3) by Indra Translations.

On top of that, because the branch to the East was practically under Sword Master Lunia Arden’s control, their group had basically taken over the entirety of the Association, except for the northern branch that had less authority in comparison due to their borders touching the Northern Kingdom.

“I command in the name of the president. auction Tell each branch to pick out 400 to put on standby.”

That was also one of the reasons why the old executives didn’t dare raise a voice against Korin Lork.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 218: Garrand the Sword Emperor (3) by Indra Translations.

“That is more than a quarter of our entire manpower! absorb What are you trying to do with all those guardians…?”

“It’s all~ a part of a big plan.”

“F, four hundred? arrow It would be over a thousand then!”

“The branches won’t agree to…”

“Wow~ what a coincidence. advance Marie, Hua Ran, and Lunia. meadow They’re all part of my guardians guild. arch All of them are my friends. amateur They’ll do something about it.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 218: Garrand the Sword Emperor (3) by Indra Translations.

The executives had no idea what this new president was trying to do. voyage With all those guardians, it was possible to overturn the Kingdom itself.

“…”

“…”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 218: Garrand the Sword Emperor (3) by Indra Translations.

Of course not! aspect How much money will we lose from 1,200 guardians stopping their activities?!

Was he plotting a rebellion? avalanche But that couldn’t be. agent It wasn’t a secret that the Saintess, the one in line for the throne, was trying to court the new president.

This isn’t going to work!

All the branches are going to oppose him. accent There is no way they would agree to that when there’s not even a war happening…

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 218: Garrand the Sword Emperor (3) by Indra Translations.

“…”

“…Pardon?”

“Oh, by the way,” Korin suddenly started. athlete “I’m going to quit my post in 1 year’s time. matrix I’m going to hand in my retirement letter to the royal court ahead of time. zenith When I retire, I’m going to pick someone to become the next president. antique So… I’m counting on you all!”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 218: Garrand the Sword Emperor (3) by Indra Translations.

“…”

If you want to become the next president, that is. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.

“What I’m saying, is that you better conduct yourself well.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 218: Garrand the Sword Emperor (3) by Indra Translations.

***

We pretty much took over the East, West, South, and the center. alert All that was left was to wait until the end of this winter and prepare for the mythology-worthy battle.

The conference room fell dead silent.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 218: Garrand the Sword Emperor (3) by Indra Translations.

“Haa~. afford Everything you do creates a commotion.”

I was going to hand in the retirement letter ahead of time for the retirement in 1 year, so they would probably all work hard to become the next president.

I did officially become the next president, but I still had to greet the royal family and receive their official permission.

Although I had to become a president because it was necessary, I didn’t have time to waste managing the Association. academy It would be better to finish what I had to do and leave the post to someone else.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 218: Garrand the Sword Emperor (3) by Indra Translations.

“I’ve heard the story from my oldest daughter. meadow It’s hard to believe but… there is no way that child would lie about a ‘revelation from the lord’, so…”

My rebellion to stop Miruam from destroying Mound, the use of my Legal Immunity, and now I had even become the president of the Central Guardian Association. portal King David looked three years older as he looked at me with a sigh.

“My deepest apologies, Your Majesty.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 218: Garrand the Sword Emperor (3) by Indra Translations.

“Haha…”

Recently, Estelle seemed to be busy traveling in and out, trying to idolize Danann. alpha After killing a large number of cardinals and the pope to become the sole representative of the Order, she was now even meddling with their doctrine.

All with the excuse of, “This is what the lord said. adapt I heard it.”

So that’s how Estelle explained it, huh?

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 218: Garrand the Sword Emperor (3) by Indra Translations.

“Was Miruam… a part of that?”

“A great evil is fast approaching. academy We must prepare for it.”

Because she was the child of miracles that was said to be connected with the god, there was nothing they could do apart from going, “I see…”

“Apologies for my frankness, but it is true that the 2nd Princess had been on their side.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 218: Garrand the Sword Emperor (3) by Indra Translations.

King David continued after a sigh.

“…It must be thanks to you that she stepped out of that. attic I see… her hatred was that deep…”

“Anyway, Baron Korin… Or should I call you President now.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 218: Garrand the Sword Emperor (3) by Indra Translations.

“Whichever you prefer, Your Majesty.”

“…Pardon?”

“Do you have any plans of marrying one of my daughters?”

W, what is wrong with everyone? arrow Isn’t a father-in-law normally against marriage? armor Isn’t it normal for them to act like Duke Marde?

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 218: Garrand the Sword Emperor (3) by Indra Translations.

“Actually, just take them both. acid Just be the next king.”

What in the world is wrong with everyone? atlas Am I the only normal one here!?

“Your Majesty!?”
