Became a Dark Merchant in the Academy - Chapter 166



165 – Fiance_24

There is no denying that what Xiaomei and I did was murder by grudge, no matter who the other person was or what the reason was.

To be exact, it would be more accurate to say that it was a planned murder rather than a murder with a grudge.

Anyway, no matter how evil the opponent is, murder is murder.

Breaking the law and committing fraud will not change anything.

In other words, it was impossible to avoid punishment.

‘Was a person who killed a person liable to death, life imprisonment, or imprisonment for more than five years?’

I don’t know all the laws of this world, but it’s clear that it won’t be much different from the previous world.

In that case, it wouldn’t have gone as far as the death penalty or life imprisonment, but it would have meant rotting away in prison for at least 10 years.

Of course, I didn’t take any direct action, I just assisted, so the level may be a little low.

It was clear that Xiaomei would have a hard time avoiding such punishment.

There were also various illegal activities committed there.

I don’t know for sure, but if you don’t hire a good group of lawyers to defend you, you will have to repent for as long as you have lived, or even longer.

Even if you have an official hero license, you are not subject to special hero laws such as how to respond to situations during operational activities.

That is, if this thing came to light, there was no way out.

Of course, with my teleportation ability, there was nothing I couldn’t escape.

It meant that everything I had built up at the academy up to that point had gone down the drain.

“Are you the cadets who illegally entered the gate?”

How long has it been since you were detained in the tent?

An old man with a kind-looking face and a face that seemed familiar came into the tent.

“Who are you?”

“Who do you think it is?”

There was nothing more annoying than having a question answered with another question, but where I was now was a place where only heroes were allowed to enter.

The one who detained me there was Team 1 Leader Lee Yu-rin, one of the most powerful figures in the association.

In other words, this place could be seen as Yurin Lee’s area of ​​jurisdiction.

But if he comes in alone and shows such a relaxed expression, the answer has been narrowed down to a certain extent.

From noble mtl dot com

And in that narrowed-down list of correct answers, there was only one person who was an old man.

One of the seven S-class fighters in South Korea.

President of the Korea Heroes Association.

“Are you, by any chance, Chairman Kang In-cheol?”

“You know me well. So where did the greeting go?”

It’s not like I wouldn’t do it, but I had to pick it up and say hello as soon as I saw it.

I think this means that in South Korea, the land of Eastern courtesy, if you see an adult, you should greet them as soon as you see them.

‘I heard that Kang In-cheol hates pretense.’

Is this incorrect information?

“Ah, Xiaomei, wait a minute…”

Anyway, there was no need to make a bad impression from the beginning.

Moreover, the opponent is the president of the Republic of Korea Heroes Association and a S-class hero.

If he wanted to say hello, all I had to do was say hello nicely.

That’s why I was so tired that I tried to wake up Xiaomei, who was taking a nap on my lap pillow.

If you’re going to say hello, shouldn’t you do it in pairs and with the right posture?

“Just kidding. There’s no need to wake up someone who’s sleeping soundly. I’m not a superior. I’m just an old man passing by.”

Then, Kang In-cheol waved his hand with a playful expression.

“still.”

“It’s okay. More importantly, I heard that you guys entered a gate that was off-limits in the emergency control area. Is that true?”

For a moment, Kang In-cheol’s expression hardened.

“…It is true.”

Denying it won’t change anything.

He probably already knew everything.

“Then I see. How serious this matter is.”

“I know.”

“Not only will you be expelled from the Academy, you may also be banned from applying for a hero license for the rest of your life. If you are found guilty, you could even spend several years in prison.”

“If we are at fault, we will accept it.”

What I hate is when my efforts are denied.

Therefore, preparations are already in full swing.

Originally, these contrasts were supposed to be resolved through Lee Yu-rin, but there was no particular problem with the unexpected appearance of Kang In-cheol.

No, it would be safe to say that it was even better.

Lee Yu-rin wasn’t bad, but Kang In-cheol’s confirmation would be stronger.

‘Of course, I’ll have to ask for Yurin’s help in the end.’

Anyway, I thought that showing too much confidence wouldn’t fit the current situation, so I tried to act with a somewhat determined expression.

However, it gave off a nuance that seemed like he had something he wanted to say.

“What if there is a mistake?”

And Kang In-cheol asked about the nuance.

“Yes, if it is our fault. No, to be exact, I think we should be rewarded.”

“A reward? I did something wrong. Why should I receive a reward?”

“Because of us, we were able to deal with this issue more quickly.”

“Could you have acted faster?”

Kang In-cheol seemed not to understand.

“We are the ones who reported this incident.”

So I told him the truth.

Let’s think about it, I have the advantage of knowing about this matter before the Hero Association.

And in the middle of this, I thought about finishing Xiaomei’s revenge.

Then, of course, wouldn’t he have created circumstantial evidence to support his alibi?

So that it won’t be a problem if you invade here.

That’s why I reported it when the villains stormed the Seoraksan Gate.

If not, it would have been impossible for the situation to spread, as it happened deep in the mountains, at an unexpected time, and with all the heroes guarding the gate dead, less than 10 minutes after the incident occurred.

“I’m the first to report…”

Anyway, it seems like my remarks caught Kang In-cheol’s interest.

He sat across from me.

“How to prove that?”

“If you look at the first caller number, you will see my cell phone number printed on it.”

“I see, then why were you there?”

“Would you believe me if I told you that I happen to have a hobby of mountain climbing?”

“No way.”

“I see, I’ll tell you the truth. We were chasing a certain villain. To be exact, the culprit of the Laplace Academy terrorist incident a year ago.”

“You were chasing me… Is this revenge?”

“Yes.”

I told her the story about me and Xiaomei, fabricating it to some extent.

A story about the enemy of the teacher’s friend’s father.

‘Actually, it was all my fault.’

“Yes, I understand the reason and motive. But how were they able to track down the villains? Those who even the Hero Association couldn’t properly track down.”

I knew you’d ask that.

So, prepare the following number.

It was time to bring out the world’s universal cheat key.

“I will tell you what I heard here, if you will keep it a secret.”

“If you don’t want to keep it a secret?”

“Even so, I guess I have to say something.”

Otherwise the reason will not be satisfied.

In that case, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to bring one out this time.

“You know a lot, so tell me.”

“…is a talent.”

“Ability?”

“I have the ability to see the future. To be exact, I have the ability to see fragmentary scenes from the future.”

It’s not wrong to say that Anzeroth’s access is similar to seeing the future.

Of course, it wasn’t my talent, nor was it an accurate explanation.

“I didn’t have any information that you had such a talent.”

There was no way the president of the association would have come here for no reason, and he must have definitely seen my personal information.

So he must have known that I had no supernatural powers.

“I have it.”

So I told you, I got it.

“That means…”

“In other words, I woke up.”

He said that he experienced one of two ways in which a person can have an acquired talent rather than an innate talent.

“Does that make sense?”

Kang In-cheol made a face that said it was ridiculous.

Because he also knew what awakening was.

But when there’s a chance, anything is possible.

Even if the probability is around 0.000003%, isn’t it still not 0%?

‘I should have just said that I took the elixir of awakening.’

Even so, it made no sense to have eaten up at least 200 billion won worth of national strategic assets whose quantity was limited and whose flow was being monitored.

“Will you believe me if I prove it?”

Anyway, you just have to prove it.

Then the probability is satisfied.

“Is there a way to prove it?”

“Okay, then I will tell you. Team Leader Yurin Lee will be here soon.”

But strictly speaking, I cannot see the future.

However, if the information received through Access was information about the current situation, it was easy to predict the future.

“That’s not seeing the future, it’s just something anyone can say if they know the situation.”

Kang In-cheol also knows that fact.

Since she was the one who detained me here, it was clear that she would come at any moment.

“And I think I’ll find someone called Team Leader 2 in a loud voice. I’ll probably say something like, “Team Leader 2, stop being noisy and come out!”

But the information we receive is of a different level.

If so, predictions can show the same ability as foreseeing the future to a close degree.

As we get further away, the variables increase, so we can only make predictions with a little more probability.

“…”

Kang In-cheol remained silent for a moment.

I thought it might be because there was no way to deny what I said right now.

“Yes, that’s right. I’m looking forward to the future, but even so, that doesn’t change the fact that you entered the gate, which is an emergency control area, illegally.”

Kang In-cheol was the type who would put aside what he couldn’t prove right away and attack from another direction.

“But it would be different if we entered when it wasn’t an emergency control zone.”

I expected that much.

“You went in when you weren’t supposed to?”

“There is evidence.”

I showed Kang In-cheol the photo I took in front of the gate using teleportation.

The photo was taken just before emergency control was implemented.

“If we had entered when the emergency control zone was set up in the first place, there would have been people guarding the entrance. How could we have entered? And even if we had entered somehow, there would have been a commotion. Didn’t anyone know us before we were detained here?”

I did bump into some heroes before entering the gate, but I had used my skills to distort their perception, so it wasn’t a problem.

They will judge themselves as having been asleep for a while and their memories will be vague.

Of course, you might feel something strange about it, but it was clear that you wouldn’t be able to be certain about this face.

“So, even if we keep arguing, our crime is only about trespassing. Then, a fine of 500,000 won? On the other hand, since we also reported the incident quickly, I think it’s right to receive a reward.”

Only Yurin knows that a murder with a grudge was committed inside.

If that’s the case, then if we only ask about Yurin, it’s the same as saying there was no murder.

And Yurin kept her mouth shut.

I don’t know the reason, but I think they decided to hide it for now because they thought that a candidate for the next association president who failed to prevent a murder before his eyes would be disqualified.

If not, then there may be something I haven’t said yet.

It was good anyway.

Even if I said that, there were endless ways to manipulate it.

Anyway, Kang In-cheol doesn’t know about that fact.

That could also be inferred from what I said earlier, ‘I heard you trespassed at a gate where entry was prohibited.’

Therefore, if this incident is downgraded to the level of illegal trespassing and acknowledged by the association president, Kang In-cheol, this incident can be concluded with a fine or a reward.

“Of course I reported it, but I think it was wrong to not trust the heroes and follow them.”

I don’t deny that this is an extremely dangerous thing to do.

“I won’t deny that we were blinded by our enemies. We did it because we wanted to take revenge ourselves. No matter what you say, this is our fault.”

I admit it.

But nothing else was done.

I was simply following you.

Tailing a villain may be a crime, but I can’t judge you for this.

“okay?”

Now that it’s coming to an end, if I sell my emotions and pretend to reflect later…

“Team Leader 2, stop being noisy and come out!”

I think I’ll have to do it later.
