I Killed the Academy Player

Marie Dunareff (6)

In the love affair scenario, Marie Dunareff is overpowered by the player party.

The beloved child of magic, who was praised, failed to regain Iji and fell and was confined to the depths of the academy.

Demons who covet blood and suck life are inherently treated like that. Especially if you can’t even speak.

In this way, Marie Dunareff is eliminated from the scenario. The player sees the fallen girl in an instant and monologues that he will save it next time.

In the scenario and in the previous episodes that became reality, Marie did not have a happy ending.

Marie is a good person.

He is kind-hearted, has a suspiciously large number of potatoes, and in the morning he steams potatoes and brings them to his friends in a basket.

It’s okay for a good kid to have a better ending.

efficiency? self-sufficient?

I can’t understand Park Sihoo’s values. Life is not calculated as plus or minus like math.

Even if there is no obligation

Even if there is no benefit

Even if sometimes it’s good for them to fall.

There are many, many reasons to kill, and they rot and overflow…

There is no need for a reason for people to save people.

“Wow, that’s an unfamiliar ceiling.”

With a hazy mind, he spat out a word like a national rule, and there was a squeak from the seat next to him.

“Ugh… I’m suffocating…”

The diced-haired boy and the muddy-haired glasses boy who were chewing on the cookies spilled crumbs. I can’t paint.

“Oh, it happened. Hey…”

“for a moment.”

“huh?”

Memories of the past are fed back. Maybe it was when I did something similar.

“Don’t do anything like this again! What are those bitches risking their lives for?! If you don’t want to see me go crazy!!”

It seems that the collar that was caught then is still blocked.

“Hold me by the collar and don’t do anything like this again! If you don’t want to see me go crazy!!”

“······Why are you like this? Gross.”

“Uh… do you read novels like that?”

right? Isn’t that what I’m prejudiced about? It’s like word choice shit, right?

“hey······.”

Did you know that seagulls are just beach chickens?

Yeager’s voice and serious gaze penetrated me. I swallow saliva at the guy’s rather serious eyes. no way······.

“Aren’t we fucking awesome?

“Uh… admittedly, hehehe… we caught the limited express. hehehe…”

“Uh admit it.”

The sound of the cheerful laughter of boys and children filled the hospital room.

“Ah… comfy.”

It’s so comfy. this is friendship

“That’s right. The doctor said to come when you wake up.”

“I’ll leave the snacks. Do you want to eat them? Shouldn’t you be eating porridge?”

“It’s okay if you eat roughly and don’t eat.”

“Uh, wait.”

Before I could stop them, Yeager and Lark quickly left the hospital room.

“The heartless bastards…”

I’ll tell you how much time has passed and go.

Because of the right arm and the connecting tube infusion bag, I was afraid that the needle would be pulled out if I got up, so I just lay still.

The wounds that seemed to have been quite serious have long since disappeared. Performance sure.

– Suk

When I fiddled with the nape of my neck, the blood clots fell off. That’s right, there was no trace of Marie’s bite on the nape of the neck except for the blood scab.

My bet must have been successfully completed.

I was lying in a daze, and after a while someone came into the room.

“Student Corinne.”

I wanted to be a nurse or a doctor, but two unexpected people came in.

“President, head professor.”

After I nodded and said hello, Chairman Eriu and Mrs. Josephine approached me.

-widely! widely! widely!

Holding on to his cane, Chairman Eriu sat down in front of me.

“This is the first time I’m meeting you personally, student Corinne Locke.”

Did you know that seagulls are just beach chickens?

You may not remember the chairman, but I am not. Because I learned a lot.

Of course, there’s no way that Chairman Eriu has memories of the previous episode, so it’s the first time we’ve officially met.

“How’s your body? I’ve heard it has properties related to regeneration or recovery.”

“It’s okay. Everything’s better.”

“Really? Why didn’t I notice it during the grade test… There are many questions about students, but first…”

He stood up with a cane. Then he bowed down to me.

“Thank you. Your bravery saved a student’s future. Thank you for your dedication.”

Following Chairman Eriu, Professor Josephine also bowed and thanked me.

“Students are in danger due to our immaturity and complacency. We have left the responsibility of adults to you. We apologize for this.”

Her voice mixed with self-deprecation and her deeply bowed waist showed no signs of rising.

Eriu Casar, the head of one of the four major academies in the world, willingly bowed his head to me.

“It would be meaningless to offer an apology only in words. Or if there is something the teacher wants, I will work hard to repay you.”

The hospital room became quiet.

Eriu Casar can go over as much as he wants.

It wasn’t something that happened because I wanted to, and it wasn’t something I could prepare for. Can’t you just pass by?

But it doesn’t. This person is someone who always admits their inadequacies and is willing to take on more responsibility.

“I have experienced many failures, but you are by no means one of them.”

I believe in goodwill as I reflect on what I said in the previous episode.

Did you know that seagulls are just beach chickens?

You can get a lot from Eriu Casar. You will be well aware. How much value does one word of oneself have?

How could a student know what kind of favor to ask and hand out such an empty check?

The greatest value that can be obtained from the chairman may be ‘teaching’… but not now. Not yet.

“Give me a piece of magic stone.”

“······hmm?”

“I want to make a spear, but it’s not easy to find materials. It’s better if you support the production cost.”

“·······.”

In fact, if you ask for a finished window, they will give it to you. But what I want is not a little rare and expensive spear.

I wanted a spear optimized for me, so I asked for materials, not money or legendary arms.

“Okay. Choose any number of the best ingredients. Beyond that, we’ll provide whatever you need.”

If that’s the case… No, is it a huge reward? what to make Who will the master choose?

“Oh, straighten your back. It’s burdensome.”

I couldn’t leave it alone forever, so I invited him to sit down to ask a question.

“How’s Marie-senpai?”

“That student will be quarantined for a while. Since he has awakened as a demon, we need to check the minimum level of safety.”

“Is that so?”

“I’ve heard all about it from other students… but I think I can hear the details from student Corinne. It’s okay to adapt it, so can you explain it?”

Chairman Eriu seemed to anticipate that I was hiding something. However, he informed me of his attitude of not asking.

How did he know that Marie had awakened as a vampire, and how did he mobilize the first year students for a party as if he had prepared it?

In other words, the chairman declared that he would not delve into such important matters.

“That’s it.”

I only explained things that needed to be revealed.

I don’t know how much you can believe my words, but I have delivered a clear message.

Marie is safe. That kid isn’t a monster.

“I have one last request.”

“What is it?”

“We have no choice but to make an official announcement about Marie’s awakening soon.

In this world, demons are the enemies of mankind.

Most of them have become demons because their factor has awakened without even realizing it, but they are naturally enemies of mankind and are subject to discrimination.

Vampires, werewolves, jiangshi… The names that were lumped together under the classification of demons raised countless people to the guillotine or the stake over the long history. Less than 100 years ago, this world experienced the madness of a witch hunt.

In modern times, Catholicism has declined and new doctrines have appeared, and even if it has improved a little, there is a demon who awakens as a vampire, vamps his roommates and attacks students?

Aside from students being anxious, there is a risk that it will receive excessive attention from various forces, such as Catholic fundamentalists with demon extermination ideologies and demon supremacists.

This would never be good for Marie.

“I’m sorry for Corinne, but I plan to skip the work in the forest and present a story adapted as much as possible for Marie. Would that be okay?”

I nodded without hesitation at Chairman Eriu’s request. If the chairman hadn’t brought it up, I would have brought it up.

Marie’s roommate, Isabelle, also said the story was over, so it must end well.

“Recovery… It looks like there is no problem already, but talk to Professor Josephine about the rest. I guess I’ll be very busy in the future.”

After those words, Chairman Eriu stood up. I heard from the previous episode that getting Hwaran into school was quite unreasonable.

Since even Marie has awakened as a vampire this time, it is necessary to tell the story to the El Las royal family and various related organizations to which she belongs.

Inevitably, Director Eriu has time away from the academy. I went around with a similar problem in the previous episode, so it must be similar in terms of timing.

“…Lin student.”

‘The moment Chairman Eriu leaves, he starts to move too. I’ll have to prepare for that.’

It’s not the final boss of Act 2, but it appears as an annoying mid-boss later. We must stop him from escaping.

“Nose… raw.”

‘I failed in the previous round, but I won’t miss it this time.’

-match!

“Ugh…”

I was awakened by the sound of a horsewhip hitting the air. How the hell do you hit the air to make that sound?

I thought the prickly Mrs. Josephine would be wearing an ax eye, but she reacted unexpectedly.

“Has the shock not gone yet? If you are not feeling well, we will provide the best medical service.”

“Uh… no. I’m fine. Enough to leave the hospital right away.”

“I see. Then, well… let’s get out of the hospital right away.”

“·······.”

When the needle was pulled out and the room was tidied up, Ms. Josephine silently helped.

“Student Corinne.”

“yes?”

“Would you like to go somewhere with me?”

“… that’s right.”

Her intentions seemed vaguely obvious. Soon, she unleashed space magic and walked without hesitation toward the dark abyss.

It’s a cliché to feel sick to your stomach when you do something like teleportation, but in this case, there was no time to feel it.

As if opening the door to the next room, the background changed and there was Marie, who was eating steamed potatoes inside the stern iron grate.

“ah······.”

“good morning?”

“Uh, uh uh. Hello… juniors… Cool! Keck! Keck!”

Marie choked out as if her throat had been choked.

“Please open this door.”

“…are you okay?”

“It’s okay. I believe you.”

This iron bar is the minimum safety device for Marie Dunareff, the demon who has awakened as a vampire. Josephine’s attitude was natural, but I didn’t hesitate.

I took the bottled water to the door opened by Mrs. Josephine and handed it to her.

“Eat quickly. You’ll run out of breath.”

“Keuhuk… kek! Go, thanks…!”

“No, but someone gave me steamed potatoes and didn’t even give me water.”

“······Keuheum!”

Through the bars, Mrs. Josephine cleared her throat. Ah, that life wrecker.

“Gulp! Gulp! Kuhha…!”

Marie calmed down while pounding her chest, as if she had finally cleared her throat. He must have felt my gaze right away, hehehe, and smiled shyly.

“I thought my eating habits would change, but unexpectedly I eat things like potatoes. Does it taste good?”

“Oh, there’s never a time when potatoes don’t taste good! It’s a great old-fashioned crop that’s always delicious no matter how you eat it!”

“Then I’m glad.”

Since I became a vampire, I wondered if I could only eat blood and spit out the rest. I couldn’t ask Sevancia Duke that far.

“Vampire impulse? Is this a bit different from hunger? I don’t know what the cycle will be like.”

From noble mtl dot com

“Uh, uhm… I decided to get something like a blood pack for that part…”

Marie’s appearance at first glance was not a young horse.

The clothes were clean and new, but there were still bloody stains and blood scabs.

Even though clothes and meals were provided, it seems that they did not allow enough freedom to go to the shower room.

“It’s a mess. Madame… No, why don’t you ask the head professor?”

“Oh, no! I’ve caused too much trouble! I’ll be here until the president and head professor say it’s okay… Ah!”

As if remembering something, Marie covered my eyes while flapping her arms.

“Hey, go over there! It stinks!”

“······No, why did you come now? By the way, I hadn’t even washed when the senpai bit my neck.”

“Ah! Don’t be wrong…!”

When I went to the corner to avoid Marie who struggled and knocked on my arm, the girl who had finally calmed down grinned.

“I was scared.”

Did you know that turtles can’t do push-ups? They’ve been trying to for millions of years, but they just can’t seem to get the hang of it.

Grabbing her knees, the girl began to confess.

“Hwaran. I was very scared. I really thought I was going to die. I was so scared… but I couldn’t do it like my juniors.”

“·······.”

I could understand the meaning of those words a little.

Everyone feels fear when they witness a gigantic violence that cannot be confronted, when the dark shadow of death is cast for the first time.

Scared, cold, dizzy.

My head doesn’t work properly, and only the reality in front of me hits me without consideration.

Chickens invented the chicken dance. They’re just too embarrassed to admit it.

Just as a soldier on the battlefield finds himself infinitely small in front of a storm that shakes the heavens and earth, Marie must have been the same.

Because I did too.

Because everyone has to be like that.

Marie is a genius He is a favorite of Mana.

Because she is like that, her desperate feelings to ‘survive’ and the fear of death must have been infinitely distant relatives.

It’s not that the girl didn’t try. I don’t mean to say that I lack experience.

It’s just that most things in this world were infinitely insufficient to stimulate the genius of Marie Dunarep.

Hey. do you know that snakes are bald?

Now the girl faced reality and felt a real fear. I experienced the reality that everyone experiences.

In the face of crisis or fear, Marie was stimulated, and that must have been the trigger that awakened her vampire factor.

“ha······.”

They say the flapping of a butterfly’s wings becomes a storm.

I didn’t notice it because I focused on the case of ‘The Murderer of the Fog City’.

In the end, it was the crisis and fear that could stimulate this genius that made Marie awaken.

I met Hwaran and stimulated something, and as Hwaran’s feelings changed, he participated in the Hunting Ground practice.

Hwaran, who participated in the training, accidentally bumped into Marie, and Hwaran must have used his own strength to fight Marie, a first-class wizard.

That stimulated Marie, and the vampire factor within her reacted.

There is nothing but lamentation over the malignant prank of fate that has been repeated coincidence after coincidence.

In fact, this happened often in previous episodes as well.

The aftermath after the death of Arisha Arden or the fact that Park Si-hoo, who tried to kill Hwaran, failed and woke up the yaksha.

Whether trivial or important, flapping your wings changes the airflow.

Since the world we live in is not a game but a reality, NPCs who were dismissed as living creatures naturally react differently depending on the changed situation.

“Junior-sama… How did you wake up? Why don’t you give up? It was like that during the spirit body. I thought you’d never succeed. Everyone laughed at you. But in the end, you succeeded.”

-It was cool.

The girl’s confession about how it happened made her face heat up.

“Uh… Well, it’s not that great.”

A little embarrassed. I made a grandiose oath, but when I tried to say it, it tickled me a bit.

“I like happy endings.”

“huh?”

“The good guys are rewarded, the bad guys are punished.

Those who work hard should be rewarded.

What about the selfish guy? I don’t want to cheer

“Marie-senpai is a good person. She’s kind, pretty… Anyway, I like happy endings. That’s why… I hope Marie Dunareff will be happy.”

My cheeks twitched.

Damn, I’m so ashamed to say this. Originally, how are the boys? Silently doing what one has to do is the coolest thing.

“······wow.”

muttered Ms. Josephine.

When I checked the side by rolling only my eyeballs, Ms. Josephine covered her mouth with the palm of her hand and showed admiration. why not?

“uh.”

Marie’s lips parted.

“Uh, uh uh… uh uh…”

When I met Marie’s eyes, I witnessed her pupils shake violently. The pure white skin is reddened and even trembles.

what? Is it withdrawal symptoms? already?

“Do you want to drink blood…?”

“Uh, huh? Uhh, ahhhhhhhh?!”

At least answer me in human words.

“Ugh… Aww! No… I’m not imagining anything strange…!”

“yes?”

What is the reaction like running a high-end game with full options on this 4K monitor?

Marie, who was hot like a graphic card expressing the phrase, “I’m going to heaven soon,” with her whole body ran away to a corner and took a breath as if she had calmed down.

“That, that’s not it… was it painful?”

“As for the neck, well, it was just sore.”

“······Sorry.”

“I’m sorry.”

“No no! Really… I’m sorry! I couldn’t stand it. That urge… no, no. These are all excuses…”

Marie bowed her head deeply, not caring about her tousled hair and the scab on the nape of her neck.

“I’m sorry. I’m truly sorry.”

The girl came over and held my hand, earnestly begging for forgiveness. There was water in her golden eyes.

“Thank you. For saving me, for not giving up on me, for dedicating myself to me. I owe you a debt I can’t pay.”

-Sniff!

Without letting go of my hand, the girl stole my falling eyes.

“Yeah… Thank you very much.”

Marie let go of my hand and took a step back and turned her back.

“Junior! That… I want to wash! I have to finish eating the potatoes too!”

“That’s right. Marie-senpai.”

I’ll have to keep my seat for now.

“Head Professor.”

At my words, Ms. Josephine cast space magic in front of me. In the space leading back to the hospital room, when I took a step forward, I heard Marie’s voice.

“Hi Corinne! See you again!”

“See you again.”

The girl who had been crying saw me off with a smile now.

return hospital room. Inside the silent hospital room, the sound of Ms. Josephine’s high heels rang out.

“Oh, Corinne. You’re doing quite well.”

“yes?”

“Oh~”

Ms. Josephine put on an expression like a life senior who had a lot of experience and shook her head.

“I’ll talk to Corinne about her in the future.”

“Uh… yes.”

At the end, with a light smile, Ms. Josephine left the hospital room.

I scratched my itchy cheek and opened the door to the hospital room, the bright afternoon sun shining down on the window.

This is how the first act of the story comes to an end. It is a happy ending for everyone who could not succeed in the game or in the previous rounds.

A little unexpected things happened, and nothing went as it should, but… that’s why it’s better.

The world goes on without players.

Even if you don’t follow the canon, there are better endings.

It was a feeling of confirmation that a world that could not be achieved in the game or the world where the players were was beginning.
