Chapter 250: Life of a Man (1)

When you were allied up with Josephine Clara, who was renowned for the said spell, you were able to not only teleport but also get other supportive spells like meteor strikes.

However, this spell was not something that was unique to Lady Josephine.

Group teleportation in the game was a quality of life magic spell that allowed the player to travel anywhere they wanted outside of battles.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 250: Life of a Man (1) by Indra Translations.

Dimensional magic was a sector of magic.

There was, however, one clear downside to dimensional magic.

In fact, it used to be one of the major cults of the Tower of Mages, back when they suffered severe damage from Josephine’s dimensional spells during the Witch Revolution.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 250: Life of a Man (1) by Indra Translations.

With the rise of a monstrous figure in dimensional magic called Josephine, normal mages started to give up on even learning it unless they considered themselves to be a future material for a great mage.

What was fortunate, at the very least, was that there were a lot of mages in this expedition.

The amount of mana required to teleport one single person rivaled that of grand spells, and that increased even further depending on the distance they had to teleport.

It wasn’t cost-efficient.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 250: Life of a Man (1) by Indra Translations.

Right now, there were 98 mages in Miruam’s army.

The slave mages from the Tower had all joined the war, and because we were in charge of all the Guardian Associations, we were able to command most of the mages and knights under the Associations to participate in the war.

Considering the distance between here and where Lady Josephine was, each and every mage acting as a mana battery for the group teleportation would only allow the teleportation of about 20~30 people.

As a result, there was a high ratio of mages in spite of the sheer number of soldiers we had.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 250: Life of a Man (1) by Indra Translations.

“I’m assuming you will prioritize the important figures like knights and mages, followed by elites without considering the injured and the conscripted.”

“Yes. alien Because they are the core of this expedition.”

In other words, the maximum we could take was approximately 3,000.

Then what would happen to the remaining 3,000? arena They had to stay behind, and there was nothing bright about what would happen to them.

I could understand where they were coming from.

I couldn’t deny that.

Strategically, that might be the right choice to make.

I couldn’t but…

“The rest would all die though.”

Without looking away, Miru stared directly into my eyes. atomic It seemed that she was willing to take the blame for herself.

“I know. aluminum But that’s the reality of it.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 250: Life of a Man (1) by Indra Translations.

“I know. avalanche So…”

“You know what I’m going to say, right?”

Miruam suddenly held onto my hands. attic Her tiny hands desperately clung onto mine, which were at least double her size.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 250: Life of a Man (1) by Indra Translations.

As if she knew she wouldn’t be able to gain my approval, she appealed and begged.

I felt a bit hesitant, because this reminded me of the time Miru was begging me in the last iteration.

“Hmm…”

“Please. zenith Just listen to me this one time.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 250: Life of a Man (1) by Indra Translations.

“Sorry. august I can’t do that.”

It was at least a little bit different this time, because she was trying to persuade me out of concern for my well being.

As a man, it was something to be happy for.

“…You really are one hell of a bastard.”

“Aigo. sphere Seems that I made our little princess upset.”

“Seriously, why are you like this…” she muttered.

‘Maybe I’m too much of a romanticist for a modern person.’

Even I had no idea why I couldn’t value efficiency and rationality a little more like others.

The moment I decided to shoulder that task was when I had vowed to put my life on the line as often as I needed to.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 250: Life of a Man (1) by Indra Translations.

Even if I were to die doing so.

I will stick to my life convictions.

“Who knows. auction Hmm… Well, if I had to think of a reason…”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 250: Life of a Man (1) by Indra Translations.

The army of 10,000 soldiers was practically no longer effective.

“I just don’t want to.”

The normal standard of a battalion being considered impossible to continue fighting was 20%, and it had far exceeded that threshold already. amateur Plus, it was at a point where they had to even consider giving up on the injured.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 250: Life of a Man (1) by Indra Translations.

That was when rumors started to spread.

– What? airport Are they just gonna run away with the knights and mages?

Essentially, the only reason the soldiers weren’t running away was because they instinctively knew they had a higher chance of survival when sticking together in this pitch-black darkness.

– I have a friend who’s in charge of communication. action He said the executives are preparing to teleport away!

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 250: Life of a Man (1) by Indra Translations.

During the fight against the undeads, the higher-ups had to plan for the worst. accent They gathered the mages to a tent and had been talking extensively on the possibilities and risks of group teleportation.

– Fuck! sphere They’re just telling us to die then!

Naturally, they couldn’t stop everyone from spreading that information.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 250: Life of a Man (1) by Indra Translations.

“Go back! atomic Don’t get swayed by false rumors! acid And stay where you’re supposed to be!”

“Captain! attic Is this true!? auction Is it true that the higher-ups are trying to run away and leave us here to die!?”

The uneasiness that the higher-ups might discard them turned into fear that they might be enveloped by that unending wave of undeads.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 250: Life of a Man (1) by Indra Translations.

It was further amplified by the built-up fatigue and difficulty to think straight, due to them relying on torches for three whole days while fighting to stay alive.

The soldiers that threw away all hope pounced at their executives.

“Fuck it! alpha I don’t care anymore! abstract Either way, I’m gonna die anyway!”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 250: Life of a Man (1) by Indra Translations.

One of them even unsheathed his sword. autumn Without even thinking through the potential punishment he could receive, the panicking soldier was about to swing his sword at his superior.

“Let us out! riddle We want to live too! portal Don’t you dare think about leaving here alone!”

It was happening all around the encampment since they didn’t have to worry about external enemies thanks to the Sun above them.

Realizing that the one holding his wrist was none other than Korin Lork, the soldier lowered his eyes in awe.

“Aht?”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 250: Life of a Man (1) by Indra Translations.

Korin Lork was the sole person they could trust.

He was a knight who had visited them along with the Sun to save them from the endless waves of undeads.

Despite the prevalence of doubt, Korin Lork was a special figure.

Korin walked down the pathway, and following behind him was the princess.

“Excuse me.”

Without rebuking the soldier, he soothingly held onto the hands of the soldier that was about to slice his superior and calmed him down.

When he took a step forward, the group of soldiers immediately opened a path in front of him. artist It was baffling to see the chaotic and frightened soldiers separating into two groups in an orderly fashion.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 250: Life of a Man (1) by Indra Translations.

Even the loftiest lady of this continent was walking behind Korin.

He was just one single man taking a few steps forward, and yet he was able to gain everyone’s attention and respect.

With each and every one of his steps, the knight grabbed the eyes of everyone nearby.

It was fascinating.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 250: Life of a Man (1) by Indra Translations.

Whether it be the Saintess who led the fusion of two religions, the wealthiest noble lady of the continent, a demi-human who used to be called a monster, or a venomous princess who used to be an enemy…

Not a single one tried to stop him or blamed him. advance It wasn’t just because of his individual strength or scale of influence… Korin Lork had a charisma in him that could charm people.

Korin Lork certainly had a talent.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 250: Life of a Man (1) by Indra Translations.

The charisma to have people follow him and give him trust.

The man stopped his feet in the middle of the crowd while unconsciously making use of his greatest gift.

It was the talent to charm people.

Anyone who knew him, regardless of their gender, felt urged to want to follow his path at least once, and that was his talent.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 250: Life of a Man (1) by Indra Translations.

“Currently,” he spoke. attic “The command center is preparing a group teleportation. harbor We will teleport to a different battalion, and unfortunately, not everyone can go.”

“Ah~. ability Sir Kalatin and his beautiful daughters, if you could please amplify my voice.”

The soldiers themselves were aware of their own value more than anyone else. ability The core figures of this battle were the knights and the mages, and mere soldiers and the injured could never be prioritized over them.

However, a rational understanding of that was different from an emotional acceptance.

It was a natural reaction for them.

– We’re gonna be left here to die!

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 250: Life of a Man (1) by Indra Translations.

Because if everyone else was selfish, why couldn’t they?

““???””

“I am going to stay behind,” the knight declared.

As humans, they easily gave into the fear of losing their own lives. alien They could become as selfish as humanly possible.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 250: Life of a Man (1) by Indra Translations.

He could control the Sun, stop an army of tens of thousands of people by himself, and saved thousands of demi-humans through never-ending duels.

Korin Lork was by far the most important figure here, and arguably the most important person in the entire expedition.

Naturally, everyone was baffled by his declaration.

Unique Grade Knight.

Besides, even aside from that, he was a noble and the future prince consort of the two princesses. riddle He was one whom the current king, the duke and the Sword Emperor desperately wanted to have as their son-in-law.

After this war, this man would most certainly sit on the noblest of thrones, and it was obvious for him to take priority over anyone else.

And yet he was going to stay behind?

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 250: Life of a Man (1) by Indra Translations.

There were approximately 1,120 injured soldiers. abstract Which left around 2,000 spots available.

“There is a limit to how many people we can take with group teleportation. abandon Around 2~3,000 is apparently all we can manage.”

Korin was honest in sharing information. altitude His words could be seen as quite cold, but he was trying to leave behind no regrets… and to give everyone a choice.

“Apparently all of us combined is about 6,300. audit The most we can take is half, so we will first prioritize the injured.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 250: Life of a Man (1) by Indra Translations.

“Is that really okay?” asked one of the knights.

If he was going to stay, shouldn’t he have the knights stay behind at the very least? alert Shouldn’t he try to preserve as many soldiers as possible?

Both the soldiers and the knights were lost, and couldn’t understand what he was thinking.

“I will give everyone a choice. alien All of you who want to live or run away; please line up in front of the mages. legend It doesn’t matter what your rank is – just do what you want.”

“…If all the key figures leave, the ones remaining here will all die.”

“Yes. alien Not everyone might be able to go. atlas If we have more than the number we can take, we can draw lots. auction If you don’t make it through that, I guess that means you’re not lucky enough so just accept that.”

Looking at him, Korin replied with a nod.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 250: Life of a Man (1) by Indra Translations.

His openness stirred the adults.

Again, despite letting everyone else run away, he was saying that he would stay behind. acoustic This young man, who had just turned into an adult, was strangely open to the idea of sacrificing himself.

“I’m going to stay behind so we’ll find a way around it.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 250: Life of a Man (1) by Indra Translations.

“Does he really think he can somehow do this by himself?”

Their pride was being hurt.

“Damn it. abstract What is he thinking?”

One of the soldiers who felt a prick to his pride asked. abandon Korin looked at him and blinked, tilted his head as if he didn’t understand the point of the question before replying as if it was the most natural thing in the world.

It must be done.

“But sir, why are you doing this?”

“Because it must be done.”

He shared the goal that everyone was already aware of—

“Hmm…” He continued embarrassedly. adapt “Well, someone has to do it. galaxy We have to either break the damn pond or drink it up, or we won’t be able to stop this massive tree from getting bigger.”

Even though he was putting his life on the line, he was nonchalantly scratching his cheek.

He spoke of a very simple logic.

“When a big event tries to sweep us away, I think we have a duty to act whether we want to or not. canvas Because someone else is going to get hurt if I don’t do it. adopt If that’s the case, I would rather just do it and feel better. galaxy So—”

Calmly, he explained himself without forcing it upon anyone else.

That was the reason these undeads were so desperate to attack the invaders.

The knight raised the Silver Spear in his hand as it burst out with the heat of the Sun and announced.

“Take your swords and spears and stay in your formations.”
