Became a Dark Merchant in the Academy - Chapter 170



169 – Intermission_15

The final suicide attack by the Villain Alliance, although it ended in vain, was a flashy prank on the outside and became a huge topic of conversation.

Naturally, the country went into chaos and mobilized the Hero Association, the police, and even the military to crack down on the underworld.

And of course, there was no distinction between the piano and the piano.

Even though things are going well for the time being and the project ended in failure, if we had made a mistake, the country could have been turned upside down.

Of course, it wouldn’t have gone that far since it wasn’t destroying a gate higher than level 10.

It was natural for there to be an uproar, whether it was a politician or an ordinary citizen, because it could have been him who died in his sleep.

That’s why I had no choice but to do the annoying follow-up work.

Even though I knew that I would have an accident, I had organized it in advance, but the work was big, and the area I was involved in this time was so wide that there was a lot to organize.

“I…followed the order…”

And among them, there were some ruffians whose names I couldn’t even remember who I had put in the Hero Association.

I was wondering if it was right to deal with it right now.

The situation was more serious than the national academy terrorism, and there was a possibility that the country or the association would bring in someone from abroad who could read minds or someone with special abilities related to interrogation to do something stupid. It was right to deal with it now.

“Ugh… Ugh. Save me, save me…”

The guy who was imprisoned in the basement of the Hero Association suddenly collapsed and twisted his body.

Then, my body swelled up rapidly like bread.

“What happened…”

One of the heroes who was watching outside felt something unusual and quickly entered the room where the thugs were.

“please…”

The body, which had suddenly swelled, filled the room with numerous chunks of meat with a popping sound.

“Ugh… aaah. Rain, emergency!!”

The nameless hero sat down on the ground in shock.

[Execution completed.]

At the same time, the system sound rings in my ears.

He reported the results to be no different from what was seen on the surveillance cameras installed via teleportation.

“Tsk.”

This pretty much finishes the cleanup.

The only other things that were left unfinished were the heads of the Villain Alliance, whose whereabouts were unknown.

‘No matter how much I look for it, I have no idea where it disappeared to.’

When a person moves, unless they have special abilities like mine, they inevitably leave traces.

But there was no trace of them anywhere.

Even though hiding something is easier than finding it, that was nonsense.

It was even more absurd that he fooled his subordinates and disappeared right in the middle of the gate.

So there were two things to think about.

The first was that one of those guys had the ability to teleport.

‘That’s nonsense.’

If there had been such a talented person, he would not have been able to survive as the head of a social organization in the Republic of Korea.

Of course, each person has different value judgments, so even if you insist and insist that it is possible, you can be satisfied with it.

There is no way the country and I didn’t know.

Because that was the official setting of the work.

No matter how infinitely distorted the current world is, there’s no way such a setting could have been suddenly added.

Of course, I don’t know all the settings, and I didn’t intend to get caught up in the settings like some idiot.

Other than Hozumi Rei, there was no one in this world with teleportation or similar abilities.

It’s not just the setting of the work, but this world has proven so.

Hozumi Rei was the first person with the ability to teleport, and was the last.

So the second case was the one that was most likely possible at the moment.

Haven’t I said it many times before, if something happens once, it will happen a second time.

‘Because I’m an outsider…’

There was no other answer at the moment.

And at the moment, there was only one person who fit that criteria best.

‘I was trying to take it slow, you know.’

I don’t understand why they dragged those guys here, or why they’re bothering me.

If it is a fight that has been fought, it will only lead to complete destruction.

However, there is also the possibility of a mistake, so we had to keep an eye on other possibilities, and at the same time, we had to investigate that.

If they were really outsiders, they might have something similar to me, so if anything, it could end up being dangerous for me.

‘One thing is finished, but I’m going to get busier.’

With the student council elections and guild internships coming up soon, I really felt like I wanted to borrow a cat’s paw.

‘But there’s no cat’s paw either.’

If you asked for help, there were plenty of people who would help you.

But right now, there was no one who could produce exactly the results I wanted.

Of course, Ines and Ray, who were still in training, could have brought similar values.

That wasn’t what I wanted.

And I’m still anxious.

‘In the end, I guess I’ll have to do it alone again.’

I wonder when I’ll feel better.

I would rather die than have things get messed up because of a mistake.

I wonder if this is my fate.

“What did you think?”

Laplace Academy Chairman’s Office.

Kang In-cheol, sitting across from Baek Seol-ha, was lost in thought for a moment.

It wasn’t because I didn’t know what the question meant.

Because I was worried about how to answer that question.

And even if you answered, it wouldn’t be accurate, so it could cause unnecessary confusion.

Also, I thought I was mistaken and wondered how to correct it.

That’s why…

“I can tell by your expression.”

“what?”

“That you’re hiding something.”

“How about that…”

“How many years do you think I’ve known you, sir? Just by looking at your expression, you can tell. Anyway, you’re amazing. No matter how much I look at you, I can’t tell. I guess I’m too good for the position of chairman.”

“So what are you going to do?”

“Well, I’m just guarding the Academy. It depends on what it is.”

Snow White smiled meaningfully.

March 2nd. 9:30 a.m.

Despite the unfortunate incident of the recent nationwide academy terrorism, Laplace Academy held its entrance ceremony.

That would be the case because the damage to Laplace Academy was minimal compared to other academies.

This was not intended to brag about how minimal the damage was.

If that was the meaning, it would have been criticized by other academies and public opinion.

This was a declaration of war.

A declaration of war that means that no matter how much the villains run wild, Laplace Academy, or rather, all academies, will never fall.

Laplace Academy only represented them.

Of course, despite the bold meaning it contained, as unexpected incidents have been happening continuously these days, this time as well, in preparation for any accidents, the number of personnel several times greater than in previous entrance ceremonies stood guard with glaring eyes in the auditorium where the entrance ceremony was held, making it feel more like an entrance ceremony at a prison than an entrance ceremony.

“Next, we will have the freshman representative oath.”

That was almost the end, and there was only one turn left.

When the call came from the podium, a female cadet who had been waiting below briskly climbed the stairs.

“He’s the representative?”

“Who is it?”

“Well, more than that, pink hair and pink eyes, that’s a strange color. Isn’t that a rare color to see?”

“Yeah, by the way, isn’t it pretty?”

“Oh, I admit that.”

The commotion among the cadets attending the entrance ceremony grew louder.

That was because no one knew the identity of the cadet who was now ascending the stage.

Pink hair or not, Yukina Ishihara stood in front of the microphone with a bright smile.

[To Laplace Academy…]

And then he read the text with great energy.

[We who entered the school were selected based on fairness and ability…]

I read down.

[I hereby swear to focus solely on events and fun…]

Read on…

“huh?”

Xiaomei wondered if she had heard wrong.

“Was that kind of statement in the oath?”

“well?”

Judging from the negative reactions from those around me, it seemed like I hadn’t misheard.

‘What are you doing, you idiot?’

I didn’t understand how he was the representative.

It was to the point where I thought Laplace Academy was blind.

But the representative said that if the test scores weren’t manipulated by someone, then he would be first this year.

That also meant that Yukina was smarter and more skilled than Xiaomei.

‘ha…’

[Ah, I made a mistake. I’ll try again. Where did I end up? Ah, if I become the student council president, I’ll bring about a change in this academy! Number 3, Yukina Ishihara. Thank you.]

“No way!!”

Xiaomei screamed involuntarily at the continued stupidity.

[Maymay!!]

It was Ishihara Yukina who waved her hand vigorously while looking at Xiaomei, perhaps taking it as encouragement for herself.

“…”

All eyes were on each other.

“Is that the guy looking here?”

“Meimei? Are you two friends?”

“I guess so.”

If there was a mouse hole, I would want to crawl into it.

But there was no mouse hole anywhere.

That’s why Xiaomei slowly lowered her head with a red face.

It was a humiliating entrance ceremony.
