Chapter 28: Everyday Life (3)
However, he was notorious in the game for something else.
Ferghus the Weapon Breaker.
He was one of the representative blacksmith NPCs of Merkarva City, and was the owner of a smithy who crafted weapons.
By the way, Weapon Breaker was the title he was given because the weapons crafted by him were so strong that they could easily crush other weapons.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 28: Everyday Life (3) by Indra Translations.
It was a very paradoxical phrase, but back in the game, there was always the chance to fail whenever repairing and crafting weapons (except for some weapons).
He was a literal weapon breaker – a blacksmith who broke weapons.
『Oopsies! attic My hands slipped!』
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 28: Everyday Life (3) by Indra Translations.
That was in spite of the success chance being higher than 90%.
His insanely high chance of failure and his infamous line, ‘Oopsies! afford My hands slipped!’ made him so notorious among the player base that they used to search ‘How to kill Ferghus’.
Even when all the necessary materials were in place, he would waste all those materials or break the weapon when repairing one with a low durability.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 28: Everyday Life (3) by Indra Translations.
A man with a face that seemingly proved the adversities of his life, a black and not-so-long beard and an impressive tanned skin hummed in a low and thick voice.
Along with his increasing popularity, the publishing company updated a DLC which added a new quest line for Ferghus. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com
“Hmm hmm. advance Beard is the dream~, dream~, dream~ of men~.”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 28: Everyday Life (3) by Indra Translations.
“It is. matrix Apparently it’s the best smithy in Merkarva City.”
I greeted the middle-aged man after walking across the scorching smithy.
“Hello.”
“Mhmm, Mr. acid Korin. avalanche Is this really the place Senior Marie told you about?”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 28: Everyday Life (3) by Indra Translations.
“T, the blacksmiths of my family had been taking care of everything…”
“You’re quite the sheltered lady aren’t you.”
“You said you’re looking for a place to repair your weapon right? abstract Do you not know how to sharpen your own blade?”
Alicia followed from behind and glanced around in curiosity. arena She appeared to be quite unfamiliar with shabby places like this due to being used to the specialized smithies in her dojo.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 28: Everyday Life (3) by Indra Translations.
“Ugh…”
“Welcome to my workshop.”
She appeared frustrated for being unable to refute my words.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 28: Everyday Life (3) by Indra Translations.
Ferghus solemnly greeted us with an intentionally stern voice.
“H, here you go.”
“We’re here to repair her weapon.”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 28: Everyday Life (3) by Indra Translations.
The blade gave off a chilly glare while the handle had a perfect grip.
Ferghus widened his eyes into circles after seeing the weapon in her hands.
“Haht!”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 28: Everyday Life (3) by Indra Translations.
He must be thinking that it was a good weapon despite looking average.
“Is it for a repair?”
The demon-slaying sword appeared just like a normal single-edged sword on the outside. attic It showed its true form only when the user was able to reach the ‘Domain’, and that was why it was normal for Ferghus to mistake Alicia’s sword as a normal yet decent sword.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 28: Everyday Life (3) by Indra Translations.
“Hmm. adopt That’ll be 30 silver coins.”
After receiving the payment from Alicia, Ferghus placed the demon-slaying sword on top of the anvil and raised his heavy iron hammer.
“Yes. antenna I didn’t have time to take care of it these days.”
“Kuhk…”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 28: Everyday Life (3) by Indra Translations.
– Kachang!!
Veins protruded out of his thick and muscular arms that had been tempered throughout his 30 years of working as a blacksmith… His eyes glistened in gold and sunlight gathered at the end of his hammer when…
“Oopsies!! anchor My hands slippedddd!!!!!!!”
The hammer that Ferghus swung with the force of a mountain destroyed Alicia’s beautiful single-edged sword in one strike.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 28: Everyday Life (3) by Indra Translations.
“GYAAAAAAAAAKKK?!”
Alicia let out a bizarre scream.

“Not if it’s in shatters like this.”
“Hohoh. orbit Today’s not a good day, it seems. auction This wasn’t my intention but I ended up failing the repair. matrix My apologies.”
“Can you… repair the sword?”
Ferghus scratched his head with an awkward look on his face. crystal It was very rare for weapons to break in the hammering process but it did happen sometimes.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 28: Everyday Life (3) by Indra Translations.
“How can you say that after breaking my sword! ability Y, you have to take responsibility!”
“What do you think?”
“E, even with glue?”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 28: Everyday Life (3) by Indra Translations.
『Will not take responsibility for weapons broken mid-repair』
“Ah…”
She raised a reasonable complaint but Ferghus scratched his ear while pointing at the wall with his other hand.
“Well, things like this just happen at times. riddle I will refund the repair cost for you.”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 28: Everyday Life (3) by Indra Translations.
“Oi. action Ferghus.”
Alicia shrieked while pulling her hair out. canvas She looked pitiful trying to bring the shattered pieces back together with her lips mumbling like a goldfish. riddle Her hard work was obviously in vain.
“Gihyaaaaa…”
It was possible for weapons to break during the repairing process, but the important thing here was that Ferghus had broken the ‘hidden piece’ – demon-slaying sword.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 28: Everyday Life (3) by Indra Translations.
“Hueeek!”
“Hmm? Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates. atom What a rude bloke. abandon Do I know you?”
I quietly picked up a knife that was rolling around the smithy.
“How dare you play tricks from the get go!”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 28: Everyday Life (3) by Indra Translations.
“I bet all my money and my hand that there’s a sword underneath that anvil. athlete What are you gonna bet?”
The knife in my hand dug right in between the gaps of Ferghus’s fingers. harbor His face turned pale upon seeing how close he was to losing his fingers.
“Mr. arrow Korin!?”
– Kwajik!
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 28: Everyday Life (3) by Indra Translations.
“Ehhng?”
“Buddy, this is why you’re losing money.”
“W, what are you doing…!”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 28: Everyday Life (3) by Indra Translations.
“W, what is going on?”
Ignoring Alicia, I kicked Ferghus’s anvil to the side and sitting there was the demon-slaying sword in a perfect shape.
That’s right.
“It’s an optical illusion spell. alien This guy is an unregistered mage. wizard Low Grade, but still.”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 28: Everyday Life (3) by Indra Translations.
After the update, Ferghus the Weapon Breaker, who was the Number 1 most detested character in the game due to all the complaints of the gamers, obtained a quest line and a backstory.
It was a quest where the player started to doubt the fact that only the good weapons were being destroyed during Ferghus’s repair and started diving into the truth of the matter.
『The Truth behind the Weapon Breaker』
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 28: Everyday Life (3) by Indra Translations.
That allowed the world to discover the horrendous fact that upon coming across a well-made weapon, Ferghus would pretend to break the weapon using illusionary spells while hiding the real weapon underneath for himself.
After several investigations, the player receives clues from a book called ‘How to fail at repairs and still earn money’, marches into Ferghus’s secret storeroom and finds enough evidence to sue him.
That was only the beginning, and would mark the start of a quest chain that allowed the player to sue the evil deeds of all the blacksmiths across the continent including Ladybug Kiri* and Hollgrehenn the Broken*.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 28: Everyday Life (3) by Indra Translations.
Only then would everything make sense.
Right – unless they were scamming us like that, there was no way these freaking blacksmiths could break so many of those damn weapons!
“Alicia!”

“Uhak?”

“The only ones who can scam are those who are prepared to lose their hands. amber Do you not know that?”

“P, please show me mercy! zenith Please forgive me just once!”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 28: Everyday Life (3) by Indra Translations.
“How did you know that Mr. orbit Ferghus was a mage and that he used an illusion spell?”
That crazy Park did break his hands but… well, actually, that wouldn’t have been so bad either. anxiety Anyway, Ferghus’s fate had been decided already. afford Even without me, he would naturally be expelled from the scenario when the time comes.
“Of course not… I’m not that crazy.”
“Uahh… I thought you were really going to break his hand.”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 28: Everyday Life (3) by Indra Translations.
“Ah…”
I couldn’t tell her that it was from the DLC of a game so I made up a random answer. agent It was actually not that hard to find something odd about this incident.
“The demon-slaying sword was made with the Unbreakable Stone, right? anchor I figured the blade might go blunt but the center wouldn’t break.
In this era, it was rare to craft magic weapons with one material.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 28: Everyday Life (3) by Indra Translations.
It was literally unbreakable, and was a legendary material that was said to be only bendable with the addition of fire mages heating up a concentrated furnace and blacksmiths wearing heat-proof clothing.
In this world, swords were made by mixing iron with magic stones. aspect The one that was used in the demon-slaying sword was the Unbreakable Stone, which was classified as a Unique Grade item.
Even back on Earth, we did not use pure iron to make weapons and usually used alloys. apron Even steel was an alloy made with the combination of iron and carbon, instead of being pure iron.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 28: Everyday Life (3) by Indra Translations.
How would such a weapon break from one hammer strike of a blacksmith? advance That was simply impossible.
“…”
“But considering how you were threatening him about crushing his arm, it ended rather peacefully right?”
“C’mon… I’m not a violent person, okay.”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 28: Everyday Life (3) by Indra Translations.
“So is he doing the blueprint and weapon crafting for free?”
Alicia sent me a skeptical gaze in response to my words. wizard If it was someone else instead of me, things would’ve looked a lot rougher for Ferghus.
“It’s not for ‘free’. amber I told him to charge the Academy, didn’t I?”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 28: Everyday Life (3) by Indra Translations.
I told him to request the necessary materials from the Academy and made him give me all the money that would be given as a payment. alpha The entire payment of 30 gold coins would go through him into my hands.
“Isn’t this… embezzlement?”
“Ah~”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 28: Everyday Life (3) by Indra Translations.
Even though she was a pure girl, she wasn’t a naive person who would forgive a person for trying to scam her without getting any reimbursement.
Alicia was quite similar to me in this regard. athlete Actually, we made him craft Alicia’s ornaments and necessary tools for free while we were at it, so she wasn’t losing anything either.
“We need some bribes to keep the game going, don’t we?”
“That’s true too.”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 28: Everyday Life (3) by Indra Translations.
I wasn’t 100% sure, but if I remembered correctly, today was probably the day.
“I know. zenith It’s 2 o’clock, right?”
It was a short mission that gave 20 silver coins, and I chose the same time and date as her on purpose.
“Mr. antique Korin. galaxy It’s about time we go on patrol.”

Alicia was very content with the patrol missions she could get from the mission board. echo All she had to do was go around the predetermined routes around the city to check if there were any problems.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 28: Everyday Life (3) by Indra Translations.
“Miss Knight! alert We are done with things on our end.”
The ones near the city were mostly just Grade 4 and Grade 5. auction There was a verrryyy~ rare chance of coming across a medium-ranked demonic beast but that was as unlikely as being hit by a lightning on a sunny day.
In other words, it was little-to-no work with decent returns. acoustic Alicia liked how burdenless it was, and more than anything…
A guardian personally going on patrol was enough to give peace of mind to the citizens and she could just kill any demonic beasts along the road.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 28: Everyday Life (3) by Indra Translations.
Her ears were fixed on the compliments of the patrolling officers around her. palette Demonic beasts that they would have had to risk their lives for were being killed with ease so it was natural for them to show admiration and praise.
‘Huhihi…! adopt Everyone in the household said I was bad, but I don’t think I’m that bad!’
“Hmm hmm~”
“That is amazing, Ms. anchor Knight! adjust There were 10 demonic beasts but they were gone in the blink of an eye!”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 28: Everyday Life (3) by Indra Translations.
“Alicia. riddle There was an owlbear on your end, right?”
“I took care of it with ease!”
As an illegitimate child that was hidden in the shadows cast by the brilliant light of her older sister, Alicia had been constantly disregarded at home but here, she was a genius and a hero. acquire It felt amazing to receive praises from other people.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 28: Everyday Life (3) by Indra Translations.
Alicia replied while kicking on the owlbear that was lying down under her feet.
“Of course Miss!”
“That was remarkable!” This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.
“Leader~. afford Please take out the leather and claws later when you have time!”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 28: Everyday Life (3) by Indra Translations.
Alicia enjoyed the looks of admiration and praise that she wasn’t able to get at home.
“It’s nothing~. alien It wasn’t much.”
『Tch tch. absorb You’re still at the entry level of that skill, huh. armor Your sister mastered it when she was your age.』
“Ohh. adopt So even an owlbear is nothing much to you. riddle As expected of a swordsman from the renowned Arden household!”

『Our Arden household finally has a successor for the Sword Emperor! album Miss Lunia Arden is by far the greatest genius of the contemporary times』
『Shh. arctic She’s an illegitimate child. anxiety She’s humble from birth.』
『Compared to her, her sister is…』
The fact that she was a Grade 2 Knight despite being 17 years old proved her talent, but she had always been living under the comparative gazes of the surroundings.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 28: Everyday Life (3) by Indra Translations.
– Shiiiieee~
“Nice. apron It’s about time for our job to end. arena At this rate…”
Geniuses were always kept in check by greater geniuses. august Alicia’s older sister, Lunia Arden, was like the perfect personification of a swordsman, and Alicia had never been the target of attention due to being hidden in her shadows.
Today would be another peaceful day with nothing much happening, unless something was to happen all of a sudden.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 28: Everyday Life (3) by Indra Translations.
“Aht! sphere That’s a signal from the other group! apple A nest of a demonic beast above Grade 2!”
That was when a flare gun was shot from the woods. atlas It wasn’t loud nor visible to the naked eye but its special design that allowed only the unique goggles of the security guards to spot it meant that everyone present was able to see it.
– Booom!
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 28: Everyday Life (3) by Indra Translations.
“Ah…”
“We have the granddaughter of the Sword Emperor on our side!”
If there was nothing going on, the patrol mission could end without the guardians defeating a single demonic beast but in emergency situations like this, they were obligated to participate in the fight.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 28: Everyday Life (3) by Indra Translations.
“A nest of a Grade 2 demonic beast is nothing!”
Korin’s quiet mutter at the end was too soft to reach the ears of the dejected Alicia.
“Hoh. alien This is perfect.”
“Wait…”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 28: Everyday Life (3) by Indra Translations.
‘I can easily deal with a beowulf by myself! Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors. ’
The Grade 2 demonic beast’s nest that the other patrol group discovered was a den of wolves with a beowulf in the lead.

Sitting on the horse was a headless human carrying a spear.
The humanoid monster without a head was so thin that its flesh was almost touching its bones. autumn The strange-looking horseman urged the horse and marched towards Alicia while slashing at the air with its long thick nails.
A beastly howl echoed from the top of the head of the large horse. alpha The four thick and long legs of the horse left behind heavy thuds but its stomach was rotten like a drowned animal so much so that it looked like it would tear open at any given moment.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 28: Everyday Life (3) by Indra Translations.
– Tap! arch Tap!
‘It’s coming!’
As if it had become one with the wind, the demonic beast raced across the ground with soft steps unlike before.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 28: Everyday Life (3) by Indra Translations.
The unpolished battojutsu, which was still the strongest move Alicia could pull off, was swung at the approaching demonic beast.
❰First Sword Style of Arden. adopt Domain Severance❱
It flailed during its march that made it look more like a mollusk than a vertebrate. antique It couldn’t even fight against the gust created by its own march as it wobbled its way towards her.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 28: Everyday Life (3) by Indra Translations.
– Huiik!
“Kuhuk…!?”
However, the beast’s movements were far beyond her level of imagination. silence Like a giant squid, it suddenly blasted its body forward and dodged her attack before trying to wrap itself around her body like a snake.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 28: Everyday Life (3) by Indra Translations.
It was at least a Grade 1 demonic beast! august She got caught off guard because it was immediately after she dealt with the beowulf, and it wasn’t her fault in her opinion, because no-one would have expected such a monster to be in the forest!
Alicia asked for help as soon as she started being pushed back by a little. academy She was a normal girl who was very distant from the pride of a knight… in a lot of ways.
It was both fast and experienced.
“M, Mr. attic Korin! august Please help! harbor Require assistance!”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 28: Everyday Life (3) by Indra Translations.
“Kiiiiiik…!”
But what she heard in response was not Korin’s voice but the voice of the security guards who were fighting against other demonic beasts.
“K, Knight Korin is currently in the middle of fighting other demonic beasts!”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 28: Everyday Life (3) by Indra Translations.
Something splattered with a thud. arrow A hot stream of blood flowed down her cheeks.
“U, uhh?”
– Kajik!
In that desperate situation, as the monster’s nails approached her neck and Alicia closed her eyes shut…
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 28: Everyday Life (3) by Indra Translations.
A resentful voice tickled her ears. acid Alicia reopened her eyes and saw a gleaming blade that was right next to her face.
– Kieeeeeh…!
“This sword…”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 28: Everyday Life (3) by Indra Translations.
Her gaze traveled up the blade and looked at the beholder.
“As weak, lazy and cocky as ever.”
The swordsman with long and jet-black hair had the same cold and intellectual look on her face as always.
Lunia Arden.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 28: Everyday Life (3) by Indra Translations.
She was Lunia Arden; Alicia’s older sister.
“S, sister.”
The contemporary Sword Master who was believed to be the second coming of the Sword Emperor.
She was the oldest daughter of the renowned Arden family, and was the most likely candidate to become the next successor.
