I Killed an Academy Player — Chapter 37: Alicia Arden (6)

Chapter 37: Alicia Arden (6)

Compared‍ to Lunia Arden,⁠‍‌ the Sword Master,‍‍ Alicia’s only advantage‌⁠ was the Domain‍⁠ Severance. Her talent⁠‌‌ allowed her to⁠‌⁠ walk in the‌ Domain which even⁠⁠ the knights who‌ had reached the semi-Unique Grade could‍ only perceive and‌‍⁠ barely set their‌‌ foot inside.

Thus,‌ we had to decide the victor⁠ of this battle inside the Domain⁠‍ for Alicia to‌ win, and that⁠ was why I told her to⁠‌ buy time by‍ solely focusing on⁠ dodging and blocking.‌‌‌

By⁠ sharing Lunia’s habits that I learned by fighting her‌ dozens of times‍⁠‌ in the last iteration, I made‍‍ Alicia last through‌ the attacks while‍⁠‌ waiting for one‍ opportunity inside the‌ Domain.

And as expected, Lunia’s‌ sword broke during⁠ the collision inside the Domain.

“…”‍

The⁠ dojo was covered‍‌ in silence as‍‍ Lunia blankly gazed⁠ at her bisected⁠‌ sword.

She‌ moved before Alicia⁠‍⁠ did.

She⁠‌ swung the sword‍‌ first.

She‍‌ was better than‍ Alicia in both‍‌ ability and judgment,‍

But‌ even so, she‍‌ was slower.

How‌ would Lunia feel‌‍ after seeing her⁠‌ step-sister suddenly reach‍‍ the ‘Domain’ fully,⁠‍ which had been‌‍ her lifelong aspiration?

“Haa…‍ Not enough training,‌‌ huh.”

Nothing‍ much. Lunia was‌ the type of⁠⁠ person to hold‌‍‌ her sword again‍‌ after a brief⁠ period of lamentation.‍

“From‌ this point onwards,‍‌ my subordinates and⁠ I will not‍ interfere with your‍ business.”

Leaving‍‍ those words behind,⁠ Lunia turned around.‌

“Si,sister…”‍‌

Alicia⁠⁠‍ awkwardly called her‌ and carefully walked‍⁠⁠ up to hold‍ onto Lunia’s sleeves‍ as Lunia halted‍⁠ her feet.

“Hmm…”⁠

She‍‍‌ turned back and‌⁠ saw Alicia drenched in blood. Lunia‌⁠‍ hesitated a little‌‌ before placing her‍ hand on Alicia’s‌‌⁠ head.

“You’ve‌‍‌ grown quite a lot.”

After that, Lunia left‌‌‌ the dojo.

It‌ was the end⁠⁠ of the fight‌ between siblings.

『I’m‌ Lunia Arden.』[]

The‌‍ first time I met her was‍⁠ even before Marie’s‍‍ incident. I remember⁠⁠ being quite flustered‌‌ because it was‌‍ a lot earlier‌ than the original‌‌ scenario.

In⁠ the game, Lunia⁠‍ would join the⁠‍⁠ party if Alicia‍ died so both‌‌ Park Sihu and‌ I weren’t that‍‍‍ confused by Lunia‌ joining the party.‍ However, there was‌‌‍ something we didn’t⁠ know and it⁠‍ was something Park⁠⁠‍ Sihu, who had‌ killed Alicia, definitely‍ wouldn’t have expected‍‍ –

『I couldn’t find the‍‌⁠ guy who killed‌ my sister.』

– The reason why she joined the‍‍⁠ party.

Lunia⁠‌ looked for Alicia’s‍ murderer the whole‍‌‌ time but until‍ the very end, she couldn’t find⁠⁠ the killer because‌‌⁠ Park Sihu was⁠⁠⁠ the real killer⁠‍ all along.

We‍ fought together for a long time‍ but Lunia never‍ gave up.

In‌⁠‍ the third year⁠‌ after Alicia’s death,‍‌ I had the⁠ chance to talk‍‍ to her who‍‍‌ was still looking⁠⁠ for the killer.

『I⁠‍‍ thought you didn’t‌ like your sister.』

『I‍ didn’t. She was⁠‌ lazy, never serious,‍⁠⁠ and only knew‍⁠ how to cling⁠ on and be⁠‍ a bother. But…』‌

『…』⁠‌‍

『Who‍⁠⁠ else will avenge⁠⁠⁠ that child if‌ not me? The⁠‌ father who neglected⁠ her after giving‌‌⁠ his seed away?‍ The mother who‌⁠ blames the child for the sense‌ of betrayal she‌ feels for her‍ husband? Or the⁠⁠ swordsmen of the⁠ family who have‌ no respect for‍ her?』

She‌ lamented. By looking⁠ for the disappeared⁠ demon-slaying sword, she⁠ waited for Alicia’s‌⁠ killer to reveal‌‍ their traces.

『I’m⁠‍‍ the only one.⁠‍⁠ There is no-one‍ else who can‌ relieve that child’s‍ grief.』

The‌‍ illegitimate daughter of⁠‌⁠ the family learned‍ the way of‍⁠‍ the sword because‍ of her immature⁠ admiration towards her‌‌ sister.

By‍‌ first learning the‍⁠ sword and cutting⁠⁠ a person, she‍ realized the dreadfulness‌‍ of swords. After‌‍ being named as⁠ a successor candidate‌‍ that she didn’t‍ even want to⁠ become and ending‍⁠ up antagonizing the⁠ older sister of her admiration, what‍‌ would Alicia have⁠ thought?

That‍‍ must be why‍ she decided to⁠‌‍ give up.

Deciding⁠ to be lazy,‌ she started straying⁠‌ away from the‍⁠ path of swords‍⁠ in order to‍‍ relieve her older‍‍ sister and her‍ subordinates.

Telling‌ them that she‌‍ wasn’t her enemy.

And‍ Lunia was also‌⁠‌ aware of that.

『I… thought you didn’t‌ like your sister.‌⁠‌ There were plenty of reasons for‍⁠‌ you to dislike her as well.』‌‍

『If⁠ there is a reason for me‌ to hate that child… then that⁠⁠ won’t be because‍ of something useless⁠‌ like succession.』

『What‌‌ is it then?』⁠

『I⁠ had been pursuing‌ grandfather’s sword the⁠⁠ whole time. At one point, I gave up on⁠ the Domain and‍‍⁠ yet the realm⁠ of my aspiration‍ appeared right before⁠‌ my eyes.』

Seeing‍ that ideal talent‌ choosing to become lazy was an‌ unbearable sight… was what Lunia confessed.‍

These⁠⁠‌ sisters probably had⁠ a very complicated‍‌ relationship that we⁠⁠ weren’t aware of,‌ because the game‍ did not reveal‍‍ the trivial past⁠ of NPCs and‌ their irrelevant relationships.‌‌‍

“Did⁠‍ I… do well?”⁠‍

Inside‌‌ the hospital room,‌ Alicia let out‌ a soft mutter while sitting on⁠ the bed.

“You⁠‌ did.”

I assured her that‍⁠ she did a good job but‌ in response, she‍ gave a small‍⁠⁠ pout with sulky⁠‌‌ eyes.

“How‍ can you be⁠‌ so sure? Now,⁠ I will probably‍‌ become an official⁠‌‍ successor candidate of‍⁠ the Arden family and Sister Lunia⁠‍ and her followers‌‍ will start pressuring‌‍ me. The Arden⁠‍‌ family is full‍⁠ of scary people,‍‍ you know?”

She‌ was probably right.‌ The second coming‍‌⁠ of the legend⁠ was not important‍⁠ to the members⁠ of the family‌ because they were‌‍ more concerned about⁠ their own interests⁠ and profit.

Alicia,‌⁠‌ the illegitimate child of the family head, who had‍⁠ no-one’s support, becoming‍⁠‍ the next leader⁠ of the family was something they‍‌ wouldn’t be very⁠‍ happy with.

“It’s⁠‍ up to you whether you fight‌ or not.”

“…How‍‌ would I not⁠ fight?”

“Well,⁠‍ you can just leave the family.”‌‍

“…!!”‌

Alicia⁠‌ widened her eyes‌ into circles as⁠‍ if she hadn’t‍ thought of that,‌‍‌ but returned to‍‍ being sulky after‌ a while.

“I‍ don’t want to.⁠⁠ If I do⁠‍ that… My connection⁠ with Sister will⁠ be completely gone.”‌⁠⁠

“No.⁠ It won’t. Your‍ connection with Lunia‌ Arden will stay‌ even if you‌ die.”

“How⁠ can you be⁠‍ so sure of⁠‌ that?”

Because‌ I saw it‍‌ –

I saw the sorrow⁠ of that one⁠ person which was triggered from your⁠‍ death lasting all‍ the way until‌ my final breath,

And‌ I saw the⁠⁠‍ only person who felt remorse for your death, persistently⁠⁠ chasing after the‍‌ traces of your killer.

“The‌ thing called siblings‍⁠‍ is very strange.‌⁠‍ Sometimes, you fight as if you⁠‍ want to kill‍⁠ each other and‍⁠ at other times⁠ you’re even closer than your parents.”‌

『It’s⁠ my time to⁠ use the computer!!』

『Fuck‌ off. Or I’ll‍‍‍ bash you up.』⁠‌‌

『Mom! He’s not letting⁠‍ me use the‌‍ computer!』

『You‍ fucking dog!』

The⁠‍ memories of that time were becoming‍‍ faint over time,‌ but I still‍ remembered how my‌‍⁠ older brother reacted‍‍ when I returned‌ home after being bashed up by‌ the bullies of⁠ the town.

『Who⁠⁠ the fuck hit‍ my brother!』

Isn’t that how siblings‌‌ are usually like?

“You⁠‍ might feel a sense of distance‍ and you might feel awkward, but⁠‌ a blood tie‌ is not something⁠‌ that disappears that⁠ easily.”

Even‌ though it may‌ become a memory‌ of the past,‌ I still remembered⁠‌ my brother, and‍⁠⁠ he probably remembered‌⁠‌ me as well.⁠ In fact, he‌ could even still‌⁠ be looking for‍‌ me.

“Do you also have‍‍‌ a sibling?”

“……I‍ have an annoying⁠‍ younger sister.”

I had become way‌‍ too used to⁠⁠ this world. The⁠⁠ younger brother who used to have the computer taken⁠ away, who used⁠‌ to be bashed‍ up yet protected at times, was‍‍‍ now the older⁠‌ brother of an annoying kid who‍‌ constantly whined for‍‌ expensive candies.

“We’ll⁠ be siblings no‌ matter what happens.”‌‍

I already acknowledged the memories and emotions‌‌⁠ left behind by‌‌ Korin Lork. And‌‌ from that point⁠ on, I stopped⁠ worrying about my⁠‌ sense of identity.⁠

“You⁠ are a really‌‌ strange person, Mr.‍⁠ Korin.”

“Hnn?”⁠

“Aren’t you the same⁠‌⁠ age as me?‍‌ Why do you⁠ act like an⁠ adult all the‍ time?”

It‍⁠ was because I lived at least‌‍ 14 years more⁠⁠ than you did.⁠‌ I was at⁠‌‍ least 30, and‍ if I added‌ Korin’s memories on‍ top of that,⁠ you could say‌ I was almost‌‌ in my 50s.⁠‍

“Do⁠‍⁠ I sound old?”‍

“Yes!⁠ Like a veteran‍‌⁠ soldier who went⁠‍ through all sorts‌ of hardships? I can kind of⁠‌‍ feel that from‍⁠ you!”

How sharp.

While‌ fixing the bandage⁠ around her head⁠ that was starting‌ to fall loose,‍ Alicia said with⁠‍‌ a bashful smile.⁠

“Thank you.”

“About what?”

“About what happened this‍ time and back‌ in the forest.”⁠⁠

Mhmm?‌

“It‍ was you who‍‌ saved me in‍⁠ the forest, right,⁠‍ Mr. Korin?”

How‍‌ did she notice‍ that? I wasn’t‌ planning on telling‍ her though…

“How‌ did you know?”

“Umm,‌‍ first is that‌‍ your voice is‍ similar, and second is your belt.⁠ Boys don’t really…‌ change their belts⁠⁠ too much right?”⁠

“Hmm…”‍

She‌ was right. I never worried about‌ it before but⁠⁠ I couldn’t really‍ remember changing my⁠⁠ belt that much. In fact, I used to use⁠ this cheap belt‍ back in the‌⁠ previous iteration as‌ well.

“And⁠⁠ I became certain‌‌‍ just then thanks‍⁠ to your honest reply,” Alicia added.‌

“……Who⁠‍ are you?”

“Ehh?”⁠

“There’s‌ no way Alicia‌ could be this‌‍‌ smart…”

“…Hmph.”‌

She‌‌‍ pursed her lips⁠ before asking a question.

“Is‌‌ there anything you⁠ want from me,‌‌ Mr. Korin?”

“Yeah.”⁠

“That‍‌ was quick…”

What;‌ were you expecting‌‍ me to say,⁠ ‘No’?

“Yes,⁠‍ of course! I know I am⁠ in great debt⁠‌‌ to you Mr.‍ Korin! Y, you‌⁠‍ can tell me‍ anything you want!”‌‌

“Anything‍⁠ is okay?”

“…Except‌‍ for the demon-slaying‌ sword.”

“Why;‍‌ do you think‌‍ it’s too expensive?”‍

“No.‌‌ Grandpa is the‍‍‍ legal owner of‍‌ the item so‌ the tax…”

Apparently‍‍‌ there was a 20% tax when‍ reassigning the owner‌ of the item.‍ The official price‍‌ of the demon-slaying‍⁠‌ sword was… over⁠⁠‍ 20 white gold‍ coins if I remember correctly. That‌⁠ meant the tax⁠ alone was at‍⁠ least 400,000 dollars.‌‍

“Seriously, the things you‌ talk about and⁠ stuff… You are‌‍ a very realistically‌‌ poor person, aren’t⁠‌⁠ you?”

“…Unlike‌ Sister, I didn’t⁠⁠ receive any property‍ from the family⁠ either.”

“Anyway,‍‌ of course I’m⁠⁠⁠ not gonna ask⁠ for your help‍ when it comes⁠‌ to money or‌ connections.”

“I‍‌ might be able‌ to help you‌ a little bit⁠‍ though?”

“I‍⁠‌ doubt it.”

She‌‍ pouted her lips⁠ again, perhaps from‍‌ thinking that she‍⁠ was being looked⁠‍ down on. I really wanted to‌‌ slap those lips‍ with a straw‌⁠ or something.

“Let’s‌ become friends.”

“……Is‍‍‍ that all?”

Becoming‍‌‌ friends with True‍‌ Alicia, the greatest⁠‍‍ counter to bosses,⁠‍ who can use⁠‍ Domain Severance with⁠ ease?

It⁠‌ was a huge⁠‌ bargain for me‍‌ no matter how‌‌‍ I saw it.⁠

“Why?‌‌‌ Do you not‍ want to become friends with me?”⁠

“Ahht!‌‌ O, of course‍‍‍ not! Friend! Friend, huh! It’s my‍ first time having⁠⁠‍ a boy friend‌ but I think⁠ that sounds good!‌‍ I, I mean,‍ a male friend!”⁠

“Yes⁠ yes.”

Alicia‍ reached her hand‍‍⁠ out with her‌‍ cheeks tinged in a shade of⁠‌‍ red due to⁠ excitement. Thinking that she was asking⁠ for a handshake,‌ I grabbed onto⁠‍ her hand and⁠‌⁠ gave her a smile.

“Let’s‍‌ get along well,‍‌ buddy.”

“Mhmm…!‌ I’m also glad‌ to have a reliable friend like‍ Mr. Korin!”

It was an innocent‌⁠ smile that was‍⁠ far from bad‌‌‍ intentions and ulterior‌‍ motives. This girl⁠‌⁠ would probably now⁠ have a better‍‌ future ahead of‌ her unlike the⁠‌ last iteration just‍ like Marie.

Let⁠ there be punishment‌‍ to the evil⁠‌‍ and a brighter future for the‍ good.

And‌ let children have‍⁠ a better set‌⁠‍ of choices for⁠ them.

“I… am scared of‌⁠‌ fighting,” said Alicia.‌⁠‌

“I‍ know.”

“But⁠ I smile for‍‍ some reason during a fight.”

“I⁠ saw that too.”‌‌

“So…‍⁠ I avoided fighting‌‌ all the time.‍⁠⁠ Because it didn’t‌‍ feel like me…‌‍ and I was⁠⁠ also scared of⁠ fighting against Sister.⁠ I wasn’t as‌ serious as other‌ people, and I was always looking‌ for an easy⁠‌‍ way out.”

“Everyone⁠‌ does that.”

Alicia,‍‌ who had constantly⁠ been pressed down⁠ by the environment‌‌ and her own talents, shared her honest agony and‍ concerns that were⁠ normal for girls‍ of her age‌⁠‍ to have.

Both⁠‍ Marie and Alicia…‌ and even Hua⁠‍ Ran were just⁠‌⁠ young girls.

As‍⁠⁠ we age and‌‍ as we go‌‌ through a set‍‌ of small misfortunes‍ and incidents, we‌ start to build‍ experience.

I didn’t have to‍‍ think of an⁠ amazing reply. The‌ advice that could⁠ help these young‌ kids who had‌‌ just hit their‌‌ puberty didn’t have‌‌ to be that grandiose.

As⁠ someone who was⁠‌‍ born a bit‌⁠‍ earlier than them,‌ it should be⁠ fine for me‍‍ to cheer them‍⁠ up a bit.‍

“Don’t‍ think of this as something too‍‍ difficult. I just‌‌ helped you with‌ the catalyst.”

“Catalyst?”

“You‍‍⁠ see, when I was young, I got beat up‍ by the bullies⁠ of the town one day.”

“You‍‌‍ did?”

Her‍⁠ eyes widened into⁠ circles as if‍ she couldn’t believe my words.

It⁠ was more than⁠ 10 years ago.‍ I was pulled‍‌ by some smoking⁠‍ high schoolers into‌ the back alleyway. It was very⁠ commonplace and was⁠ something that could happen to anyone.

『Dude,⁠‍‌ you got some‌⁠ cash?』

They⁠ stole my money‍ after that. It was back when‌⁠ I was in middle school, and‌‌ it was an‌⁠ embarrassing event in⁠ the past which⁠‍ still embarrassed me‍⁠ whenever I reflected‌ on it.

“I‌⁠‍ tried to stop⁠‍‍ them from taking⁠ my money as‍ they ganged up‌‌ on me, so‌ I had to‌‍‌ take a few⁠ days off from⁠⁠ school.”

“…Was‍ it very painful?”‍

“Just‌‍ a bunch of⁠‌‌ kids so of⁠ course it didn’t⁠ hurt that much.‌‍‍ It was painful not because I got bashed up,⁠‌ but because I didn’t even raise‍ a fist to‌‌⁠ fight back.”

“…”‍‌‌

I took a few‌⁠⁠ days off of⁠‍ school not because⁠‌ it was painful, but because it‌‍‌ was embarrassing. I did nothing wrong⁠ and it wasn’t‌ me who was‍⁠ in the wrong,‌ but I was⁠‌ still very embarrassed⁠‌ for being unable⁠ to be proud‌‌ during that moment.‍⁠‍

“Alicia.⁠⁠ You’re a lot⁠⁠ stronger than someone⁠ like me who⁠‌ used to be⁠ a powerless kid⁠‌ back then. I want you to‌‍ become someone who‌⁠ can be proud‌‌ of themselves all⁠ the time.”

Alicia‌ Arden’s greatest weakness‌ was her confidence‍ which had plummeted⁠ into the ground.‍⁠⁠ As long as⁠ she had the⁠‍ catalyst to reveal‌ her talents without⁠ holding them back…⁠

Then‌ there would be‌‍ nothing in this‍‌ world that Alicia⁠‌ Arden could not⁠ cut.

****‌⁠

A beast frantic for⁠‌ the sword was‌‍ living inside Alicia’s‍ heart.

She⁠ knew that this‍‍⁠ too was a part of her.‍⁠

However,⁠ she spent her⁠ entire life denying⁠ that part of‍ her which was possessed by the⁠⁠⁠ sword like a fiend.

Until‍ now, she had‌‍⁠ never made the‌ swordsman living inside her heart content.‍ She wanted to‌ satisfy its desires.⁠ Her honest senses‍ wanted her to‍ wreak havoc by swinging the sword‍⁠ to her heart’s⁠ content.

But‍‍ she was scared.⁠‍

Could‍⁠ I really make⁠⁠ use of this talent? What about‍ Sister? What about‌‍ the people from the household? Will‍ they let me‌ be? Will they⁠‌ bless me, and‌‍ cheer for my‍‌ success?

Alicia‍⁠ knew how that⁠ couldn’t be any‌‌‌ further from the‍ truth.

That‌ was why she⁠ made herself content‌ with small things‍⁠ for self-satisfaction. By‍‌ fighting against nothing‌ but low-graded demonic⁠⁠⁠ beasts, she enjoyed the campus life‌ and wanted the⁠ Academy to revere‌ her while being‍ unaware of how‍‍⁠ much of a coward she was.‌

Playing‍ around like a hero, she wanted‌⁠‍ self-satisfaction without going⁠ through pain.

Like‌ what cowards tended to do.

By‌ looking for prey⁠ weaker than themselves,‍ they pretend to⁠‌ be tough and‍ cool in safe places and dump⁠‌‌ whatever is dangerous‌‍‍ onto others.

At‍ one point, Alicia‌‌ began to think‌ to herself that‍ this was her‌⁠ limit, and that⁠ what she had‌‍ was already more than enough.

Even⁠ she herself started⁠‌ to believe that‌⁠ and yet…

『You‍‌ can do it. You can do a lot better⁠‍‌ than what you’re⁠ doing right now.』‌

A boy cheered for‍⁠ her.

A peer whom she⁠⁠ hadn’t even known‌‌ for that long⁠ showered her with⁠ blind trust.

We‌⁠ hadn’t even known each other for‍ that long, so⁠ why did he believe I was‍‌ more gifted than⁠ my sister even after seeing her?‍‌

The⁠ girl, Alicia, was‍ still unsure about‌ the answer to⁠ that question.

Born‌‌‌ as an illegitimate⁠ child that was⁠ constantly compared and disregarded, who always‍ thought to herself‌ ‘this is enough’‌‍⁠ and stopped herself⁠‍‌ from growing from‍ the past, Alicia‍‍ wasn’t used to‌‌‍ unconditional trust and‍ support.

Her‍ blood-related father, step-mother,‌‍⁠ and countless senior‌‌ brothers and senior‍⁠ sisters – because⁠ Alicia Arden had⁠⁠ never heard of‍ anything remotely close to ‘You can⁠⁠ do it’ from‍ any of them,‌‍⁠ she…

“…He’s⁠ like an uncle.”‌‍

The⁠‌ reason she didn’t‍ say ‘dad’, was because her perception‌ of her blood-related‍⁠ father couldn’t be‍‌ considered positive by‍‍‌ any means.

The‍‌⁠ most positive image⁠ of an adult‍⁠ that she could⁠‍⁠ think of was an uncle whom‌ she had never⁠⁠‌ even seen in‍‌ her entire life.‍‍

If‌‍ I had an⁠ uncle; an adult‍ who always cheered‍⁠ for me like⁠⁠ that, how would it feel?

『Alicia.‌ You’re a lot‍‍ stronger than someone‍‌ like me who⁠ used to be⁠ a powerless kid‍‌ back then. I want you to‌‍‌ become someone who⁠‌ can be proud of themselves all⁠⁠⁠ the time』

“Hehe…”⁠

She‌‌ grinned with a wide smile that‌‍ seemed slightly foolish‍ at a glance.‍‌

The‍ only person that‍ was close to‍ her – her‌‌ older sister – wasn’t the type‍‌ of person to‍ say such warm‌ words to her,‍⁠ so she couldn’t⁠ help but flush⁠ her cheeks and feel restless after‌ hearing such heart-warming‍ words from an⁠ adult for the first time in‍‍ her life.

Without‍‌ her noticing the‌⁠ nature of the emotion that was making her heart‌ thump and jolt,‍ her teenage life‍‍ began to unravel.‍‍‌
