I Killed an Academy Player Chapter 278: Earth (1)

Chapter 278: Earth (1)

It’s⁠ winter again. We⁠⁠‍ were on vacation.‍

The‍ “War of the‍ Sun,” which began​⁠ last winter, feels⁠ as if it⁠​‍ happened only a few days ago,⁠ and before I realized it, the​‍​ next winter had⁠‍‌ already arrived.

A lot happened during​ that time.

First,⁠⁠ I obtained the​⁠ permission of all⁠‌ the fathers- and‌⁠​ mothers-in-law, and I secured approval to‍ marry Marie, Alisha,​‍ Lunia, Hwaran, Estelle,⁠‍ Miruam, and Erin.‍⁠

Well,‌ it wasn’t “complete”‌ permission. Half of​ it was forced,‍ part of it⁠​ I acted without‍‍‍ permission, and I even had to⁠​‍ undo a coup‌‌⁠ d’état.

Ha…‍⁠

I’ll‌‌‍ surely spend my⁠ whole life being⁠‍ dragged around by⁠‍ them.

Sun​‌ Danann? Divine King​⁠ Ard Ri? What‌⁠ good is all‌‌⁠ that to me?‍

Carrying‌‍⁠ a thousand grand⁠⁠​ titles doesn’t change‌‍ the fact that‌‌‍ right now I’m​⁠ a man devoted​‌​ to taking care‌ of my future⁠‍‌ wives.

“Corin‍⁠ little brother~ softer.”‍⁠

“Y-yes…”‌​

I loosen the strength​‌ in the arm⁠⁠​ with which I was massaging a pair of soft‍‌ soles.

And‍⁠ what am I doing right now?‍⁠​

Attending‍‍ to the feet‌​ of our pink​ saint lady.

“Ow!⁠​ I told you‌​ soft!”

“Sorry.​⁠​ Did it hurt​‌⁠ a lot?”

I stop massaging and‍⁠ gently blow on⁠ the area. Estelle​ smiles in satisfaction.​‌⁠

“Well~‌⁠​ it wasn’t that‌⁠ bad.”

“I’ll⁠⁠‍ do it so⁠‍‌ it doesn’t hurt,‍‌‌ noona.”

Estelle,‍ who graduates from‌‍⁠ the academy this​​‍ year, spent almost​‌ the entire last‌​‍ semester outside.

Specifically,​‌ traveling through the​ different regions to‌‍​ grant the blessing‍ of the earth.⁠‍⁠

Following‍ the order of‌​ the territories with‍⁠ the highest number‌‌ of believers in‌⁠‍ the Unified Church.‌​

Estelle,⁠​ who possesses the⁠‌‌ four Danann treasures⁠‌ except for me,​​​ was practically the​ Danann of Earth.‌‍

Like⁠⁠ me, she was​‍ a case who⁠‌‍ gained divinity by‍⁠ being recognized by‌​ a sacred artifact.‌⁠ With the faith⁠‍​ offered to her,‍‍⁠ she could bestow⁠‍⁠ blessings upon the​‌‍ land.

The‍‍​ result was a “miracle.”

All‍‍‌ crops sprouting from⁠ the soil were‌‍ blessed.

Plagues‌‌‍ disappeared, crops grew⁠‍ quickly, and those‍ who ate those⁠ products gained health.⁠​​

Said​ like that, it​​⁠ sounds simple, but‍ the effect was‍​ so immense that​ people revered Estelle⁠ even more.

“Did​‌⁠ your regional tour⁠⁠ go well?”

“Hehe,⁠ of course. The⁠‌​ agricultural population of‍​ the country adores‍ me like a goddess.”

“Good‍‌​ job.”

“Well,‌ that’s one thing,​ but what was‌ really tough was​​‍ last night, you⁠‍ know?”

Estelle‍ rubs my cheek⁠‍ with the sole​‍ of the foot‍‍‌ I was massaging.‌​ Of course, I don’t mind.

In​ fact, when she⁠ lifts her foot,⁠​‍ her priestly robe‌ opens and reveals‍ the white of‍​‍ her thighs, and​‌ that I do‌⁠⁠ like.

“Hehe,‍​⁠ do you want‌ me to massage⁠ your waist too?”​⁠⁠

“Mmm~‍⁠⁠ yes, I’d love‌​ that~”

Estelle​​⁠ lies down shamelessly⁠ on the sofa.⁠​​ While I massage⁠​‌ her waist, I take the chance⁠ to squeeze those⁠⁠‌ mischievous curves of⁠​ hers. Her expression‌​ turns pale.

“T-t-today‍‌⁠ during the day‌⁠‌ I’m not doing‌‌⁠ anything else!”

“Ah,‌ I’m only touching,⁠ only touching.”

“Hey!​‌‍ You always say⁠‍ that and the‍ moment I react​‍ we end up​ doing everything!”

“I…⁠‍‌ I also touch‌‍ you.”

“You​ touch me every​⁠‌ day—what are you‌‍‌ saying! Go touch​​ Mir on the⁠ second floor if‌ you want to‌ touch!”

“The‍​ truth is, I was already with⁠​‌ her this morning.”⁠‍⁠

“???”‍‍⁠

Compared⁠ to Estelle, Miruam’s‌ stamina was a bit lower.

I still hadn’t granted‌‌ her divinity because​‌ she was in‌⁠ her grace period,​ but it was⁠ already time to⁠‍ give her something‍​ to improve her​​⁠ physical specifications.

“Uuuh…‌ if the believers⁠ discover that the⁠⁠ King of Gods‌ is such a womanizer, they’ll make​ you into a joke…”

“It‍ would be like​ Zeus, maybe.”

“Zeus?‌‍ That character from‌ the stories of‌‍⁠ your other world?”⁠⁠‍

After⁠‌ promising marriage to​ all of them,‌ I confessed everything​​ about myself.

That⁠ I came from‌ a place called​ Earth.

That​​ this world, which​⁠⁠ I believed to⁠‌​ be a simple​ game, had in​ fact brought main‌ players several times.⁠‍

That​‍‍ after my victory,‍‌ the world’s salvation​ or destruction had‌⁠ been decided.

I also told them⁠‌ about my regression,​ which Erin and‍​​ Miruam already partially‌​​ knew.

And⁠ of course, everything⁠‌⁠ about Park Sihoo.‌‌​

“Ah,⁠ right, little brother.​‍ When is Hwaran​ coming back?”

“She⁠‌‍ said today—why?”

“I‌ left her a message. It’s about⁠​‍ unifying religions between⁠​ East and West.”‌​

“Ah…”‍‌⁠

Hwaran‍ was currently revered‌​ as the Demon‍‌‌ Goddess of the‍‍‍ Heavenly Demon Sect​ of the Ten​ Thousand Eastern Mountains.⁠

The​​ previous Demon Goddess⁠ disappeared, and Bi​​ Cheon-Yacha completely absorbed‍‌ her essence, becoming​‌‌ a figure untouchable​ even for the‌​ empire.

“They‍ say you’re called‍​⁠ the Sun God⁠ over there, right?​ Basically you’re the⁠​‌ head of the‍ eastern branch of‌ the Unified Church.”‌⁠‍

“And⁠‍ over there the​⁠ one acting as​ saint is Hwaran,‌‍‌ I guess.”

“Exactly!”⁠​‌

Estelle⁠⁠​ was very interested​ in expanding the‌‌ Church. And it‍ wasn’t a problem‍‍‍ for me either.‌‍ We’ll live for​ many years, so‍⁠ spreading Danann faith⁠‌ in the long‍ term sounds fine.⁠

“One‌​ moment, Coriiiin. Don’t‍‍ put your hand⁠‍‌ under my clothes!”‌​

“Can’t⁠⁠ I?”

–Squeeze,‍‌ squeeze–

“Mmmf…‍⁠ w-well, just a little…”

Perfect,‌‌ permission granted. Just‍ as I was‍ about to jump‍⁠‍ on Estelle, a buzzing filled the‍ room and the‌⁠ space opened.

“Student‌‍ Corin. I have‍ an urgent matter…”‍

“…”‍⁠‍

“…”‌‍

We⁠‍ stared at each⁠‌ other at the‌ worst possible moment.‍​ The decades-old spinster’s‍‌‌ face turned red,‌ mixed with fury.​⁠

“A-a-again…?‌⁠‍ Are you an‌⁠ animal? Control yourself​‍ a little! You’re​ not even married‍​ yet!”

“Ahem…‌​‍ what is it?”​

I was just at​​ the hot spot.⁠

Anyway,‍‌ I straightened my‌ clothes.

“Let’s​ talk where Erin​ is.”

In​​ an instant, using‍‌ spatial displacement, we‍ arrived at the‍ headmistress’s office.

As⁠⁠ soon as we‌ arrived, Erin greeted⁠ me with a gentle smile.

“Corin,​⁠ you came??”

“I’m‍‍​ here.”

I approach her, kiss‌ her, and embrace​​ her. She blushes‌​⁠ because others are‌⁠ present, but it’s⁠⁠‍ obvious she likes‌⁠ it.

“Our⁠‌ daughter said she‍‌ had something to⁠​ say.”

“Hmm?⁠ Our daughter?”

“Erin’s​ daughter is also‍​ my daughter.”

Josephine,‌ who was practically​​‍ Erin’s daughter, and​⁠ since I would‌‍ marry Erin, she​ was also my⁠ daughter. That miraculous‌ logic.

The‌⁠ reaction was immediate.⁠⁠‍

Smack!‌⁠

“Hey!‌​‍ Hey! Hey!”

Josephine‌‌ hits me mercilessly‍⁠‌ with her whip.‍​​ It doesn’t hurt,‌‍‍ but Erin stops‍ her.

“Clara!‌‍ Why are you‌​ hitting the child?”‍‌

“Erin…‍‍​ did you not​ hear what he⁠​ said?”

“It’s‌⁠‍ just a joke!‍ Why are you‌⁠‌ breaking our Corin’s⁠⁠ spirit?”

“Erin…”‌‌

Trembling,‌ Josephine murmured, “I⁠‍​ knew it… daughters​⁠⁠ stop being daughters⁠‌​ once they marry…”⁠

“Haa~⁠ Corin, you get‍ more shameless every⁠​​ day.”

“That’s⁠‌‍ one of my​ charms.”

“Anyway.​⁠​ Erin unni, you‍‌ said it was‍‍​ urgent. Stop touching‍ my husband.”

“Eeh…‍​ he’s my husband‌⁠​ too, you know?”‌‍‍

Erin​ was stroking my​ head, then she​‍ cleared her throat.‍‌⁠

“Marie‍​ went down south‍ for a moment,​ right? She sent‍‍​ a video orb​ from there.”

“Video‍⁠⁠ orb?”

So‍⁠‍ suddenly? What could​​⁠ have happened?

The⁠‍​ master took out⁠ the orb and‍‌⁠ we watched it⁠ together.

–!!──!!‍‌

–──!⁠‍

“What…?”‌‌​

Why​‌‍ are they there?‍​‍

“I​⁠‍ think we have‍ to go immediately.”​​‌

This‍‌⁠ looks serious.

***⁠⁠‍

I hurried to the‍ south.

Thanks​⁠ to Lady Josephine,‍​⁠ it didn’t even‍ take us a minute to arrive.⁠⁠⁠

“Corin!”⁠‌

At​‍‌ the Dunaleff duke’s‌ mansion, Marie—who had⁠​ been waiting for​‍​ us—ran and threw‌‍‌ herself into my‌​ arms.

“Senior,‌‍ we saw the‍ video orb.”

“Yes!‍‌ I thought I should tell you​‌ first!”

“What‌⁠ happened?”

If⁠⁠ the contents of​‌ the video orb‌​ were real, it⁠‍‌ was not something⁠ normal.

It‌​‌ was an event‌‍ capable of shaking‍​ the entire world.​ I couldn’t imagine​ anything but negative⁠​‌ consequences.

“They‌‌⁠ suddenly appeared in‌​ the stable managed⁠ by our family.⁠​​ Do you remember​⁠‍ it? The goat‍‌‌ stable next to‍⁠ one of the​‌‌ mines I put‌⁠⁠ on the wedding‌⁠ dowry list.”

“Ah,‌‍‌ yes, I remember.”‍

There​⁠⁠ were more than​‍⁠ ten mines on​‌⁠ that list, so​⁠ I wasn’t sure​‍‍ which one she‍ meant.

“In⁠‍ a single night‌ they occupied the⁠‌ stable and went‌ down to the⁠‍ village at the‍ foot of the⁠ mountain. That place‌​ used to be‌‍ a potato field,​ but… iiik!”

“H-hey,⁠⁠ what’s wrong?”

Marie‌‌‍ snorted in fury.‌⁠‌ It wasn’t common‍‍ to see her‍‍‌ so angry. Had⁠‌‍ innocent people died?⁠⁠

“They⁠ crushed the potato⁠‌ field! Those bastards!”‍⁠⁠

“Ah…”‌

“No⁠‍ ah. That field⁠⁠​ was for planting‍⁠ winter potatoes! This​‌ is blasphemy against‌⁠ potatoes!”

“Calm‍‍ down first… so,‍ what did you⁠ do? You didn’t‍‌​ suppress them by​ bringing troops, right?”‍

“…I​​​ heard what you​ said, Corin. I gave strict orders‍‌ to avoid contact​⁠‌ as much as​​‌ possible.”

Marie⁠​ said that as​‌ soon as she⁠‌ saw them, she⁠⁠‌ ordered the immediate​ evacuation of the‍‍‍ population to a nearby fief. Thank⁠​ goodness.

The‍‍‌ fewer people who‍​‍ came into contact‌⁠⁠ with them, the‍​⁠ better. First, I needed to go‍ directly and open‍‍​ dialogue.

— BAAAANG!

At‌‍ that moment it⁠ happened. A flying‍​ object crossed the⁠‍‍ sky, emitting a sharp, unmistakable sound.⁠

All⁠ eyes followed that​ object in a straight line.

“C-Corin,⁠ little brother, what⁠ is that?”

“Metal…‍‍ flying in the‌​ sky?”

“Good​ heavens.”

It​ was a fighter‍ jet.

***‍

At​‌ an altitude so​‍ high humanity had​‌ only reached it​⁠ within the last‍​ hundred years, several‌​ voices overlapped over‍‌ a digital device⁠​‍ inside combat cockpits.​​

“What​ an incredible landscape.”​​

— Indeed.

Smirking,⁠​ two pilots looked‍⁠‌ at the surface​ of the earth​⁠⁠ with their naked‌​‍ eyes.

Inside‌ the cockpit, they​ ignored their mission‌ as they admired⁠⁠‍ the beauty of‍‌ the scenery.

Endless‌⁠‌ fields of potatoes‍ and wheat stretching‌‍ beyond the horizon.​‌ That golden sea‍ was enough to‌ make anyone enthralled.⁠‍

— It’s strange. It‌‍ should be midwinter.​‌ Why are crops⁠ growing?

“It’s‌ a fantasy world.⁠‍ Their crops might⁠‌‍ be different from‌‌ ours.”

They‍ didn’t know that‍​​ the southern plains​​​ were so developed‍‍‌ in agricultural magic⁠​ that climate had⁠​ little influence.

Still,⁠ it wasn’t as​ if they didn’t​‍‌ know this was‌ a fantasy world.⁠​‍

— Pavel 1 from⁠‍​ control tower. Respond.‌⁠

“What‌ is it?”

— The commander asks‌‌ for a mid-mission‍‍ report.

“Everything​ as expected. No⁠ enemy air force.​‌ It’s clearly a backward world inhabited‍ by primitive natives.”​⁠

— That’s a relief.‌ Since this was​ the world the‌‍​ demon returned to,​⁠ I was a bit tense.

“There⁠‍ can’t be monsters‌‍⁠ like that everywhere.”‍

This‌‍ world was backward⁠‌‍ and wild. Pavel‌​ 1 Mikhailov, pilot⁠‍ of the newly‌⁠ formed Russian air⁠ force, licked his‌‍‍ lips as he​ looked at the⁠​ other world.

“Heheh,‍⁠ do you think‌‍⁠ there are elves​ or dwarves here?​⁠ I’m curious what‍‍‍ they have between‌​ their legs.”

— Lucky army guys.⁠‌ They’ll get to‍‌‌ loot and have‌‌ as much fun​ as they want.‌

Every​ encounter between civilizations⁠‌ begins with looting‍⁠‍ and conquest.

They‌ had come to⁠‌​ this world with​​‍ the clear intention​ to conquer.

Here⁠‍‌ there is no⁠‌ Geneva Convention nor​‌​ human rights. Whoever‍‍‌ takes first, wins.⁠‍‌

They‍‌‍ weren’t going to‍‌⁠ do something stupid‌ like the Yankees​​ who say “spread‌ democracy.”

Together‌ with the newly⁠ risen Chinese Empire,⁠ Russia intended to‍ plunder everything this⁠ abundant world had‍ to offer.

“They​⁠‍ say the princesses​‌ of this country‍⁠ are incredibly beautiful.⁠ What sounds will⁠ they make when​ a savage throws​‍‌ them on a bed…”

The‌‌‌ moment Mikhailov uttered​‌​ that atrocity—

THUNK!⁠‌‍

A chilling vibration shook​ the jet.

“W-what⁠‌ the hell?”

It‌ was right behind‍ the cockpit.

A bird strike? No—how‍‍ would a bird‍ collide vertically with‌​ a supersonic jet?⁠​

— Pavel 1! Pavel​ 1! Watch your‌​ rear!

A desperate alarm burst‍ from the radio—his‌‌ partner was warning⁠‍​ him in terror.‌

“What…​‌ what is—?”

— Hey, you sons‌‍ of ****. Whose​ woman were you​ talking about?

Beyond⁠⁠‌ the cockpit.

On⁠​ top of the‍ supersonic jet.

Standing,⁠‍ as if defying⁠⁠​ all logic, there⁠ was a man’s‌​ face staring directly‌ at him.

His⁠‌​ eyes, red like​ rubies, were pointed‍ straight into the‍​‍ cabin.

“Th-this…‍ what…?”

Before​​ he could say​ anything, the cockpit‌ was ripped off‍‌ entirely, and Mikhailov⁠⁠ was exposed to‌ the stratospheric wind.​⁠

“Wh-what—⁠ whaaaat—!”

“What​ else would it⁠​​ be, idiot? If​‌⁠ you don’t want⁠​‌ to die, open‌‍‍ your parachute. No,​​‌ I’ll open it⁠⁠​ for you.”

With​⁠ pure strength, the‍ man ripped out‍⁠​ the pilot along​ with the seat‌ and deployed the‌ parachute.

The‌​‌ jet, split in​​ half, fell helplessly.‍‍​

—BOOOOM!‌​

Within​​ seconds, Mikhailov had​‍​ been shot down.⁠​​

The​⁠ other jets dispersed​​​ at supersonic speed‌ to gain distance​‌ and then turned‍⁠‌ to attack.

Four⁠‍ fighters.

As⁠ they fled—

The‌‌‍ man aimed a spear of light​‌ at them.

“Wh-what⁠⁠‍ is he trying⁠‌ to—”

“LIIIIIIGHT​‍ RAAAAAAY!!!”

— BAAANG!

The‍ air exploded.

The‍ moment he spoke‍ the words, the‍‍‍ white spear triggered‌ a sonic boom⁠ and shot after​​ the jets.

— BOOM!

The⁠ spear pierced one‌​ instantly.

The‍​​ radios erupted in‌ screams.

— Wh-what the hell​​‍ is that!?

— Pavel 3, what‌ shot you down!?⁠​

— Pavel 4! Something’s​‍‌ coming behind us!‍‍ THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE!​⁠‍

—BOOOOM!!!⁠

— Shit! Shit, shiiiiit!!​‌⁠

—BOOM​‌ BOOM BOOM!!

The​‍ four jets were‍⁠ shot down in‍ less than ten‌​ seconds.

Watching​ all of it‍​ in real time,‌​​ Mikhailov stared at‌ the owner of⁠ the spear with​ a pale face.⁠‍‍

“A-a…‍ demon…?”

Russian‌​ dimensional invasion special‌⁠ army.

— 8,000 soldiers

— 100 armored vehicles‍‌

— 20 tanks

— 10 attack helicopters‍⁠​

— 5 jets

Versus.⁠‌‌

— Marie Dunaleff, Goddess‍‌ of War

— Erin Danua, Goddess⁠ of Justice

Total:‌ 5 people

— Aaaahhhh! What is‍‌​ that!? Vampires!? Zombies!?​‍‍ Someone stop that‍ bastard!

— Ice is raining​⁠ from the sky!‌​​

— C-central command destroyed!‌⁠‍ No communication! How‌ can a club‍‌ destroy a tank!?‍

— Helicopter squadron annihilated!​‌‍ Assault squad destroyed,​⁠ idiots!

— Th-the sun! The​ sun is approaching!​‍⁠

— Stop saying stupid—​‌⁠ THAT IS THE‍‍‍ SUN!!

Battle‌ result.

Russian‍​ army: annihilated.

Corin’s‌‌ side casualties: none.​⁠
