Became a Dark Merchant in the Academy - Chapter 180



179 – Guild Internship_10

It was just a few days ago that I committed an outrageous scam on Seo Ji-ah.

Time passed without a hitch, and the first day of my internship at the Shinwha Guild arrived.

“I came to pick you up.”

As we left the dorm, a red carpet was laid out and a large limousine was parked at the end of it.

And then a familiar face appeared in front of him.

It was a scout from the Myth Guild that I saw at the Grand Guild Meeting.

“This is…”

Last time I called you, I asked how the internship was going.

‘Oh, I’ll explain that later. And you don’t have to come to the Myth Guild separately. We’ll pick you up.’

I think that’s what the reply meant.

‘This is ridiculous.’

When he said he was coming to pick me up, I thought he would just come in a decent car, but he came in a white limousine with a red carpet.

No matter how much you do, there is a limit.

I saw and experienced things that seemed like they came straight out of a comic book.

“What is that?”

“Carpet? Limousine? What’s going on today?”

“I don’t think so… Isn’t that the symbol engraved on the limousine a myth? Come to think of it, today is the second-year internship day? In that case…”

“As expected, a cadet who received 5 special invitations is different. He’s only an intern, but he’s being treated like that. How could someone without talent live in sorrow?”

When I heard the reactions of the cadets around me in real time, I started to slightly regret choosing Shinwha.

“The guild master has given a special order to bring Cadet Lee Seong-hyeon with utmost respect.”

Whether he knew it or not, the scout smiled cheerfully and opened the car door.

“This kind of treatment is a bit burdensome.”

“Come on, don’t say things like that. Aren’t we comrades of Shinhwa from now on?”

Colleagues.

I hope you don’t say such ridiculous things.

At best, it is a predator-prey relationship.

“Still, the limousine is a bit…”

“It’s okay. Cadet Lee Seong-hyeon deserves this treatment.”

embrace.

No, I deserve better than this.

I never devalue my own worth.

But this wasn’t it.

This wasn’t treating me well, it was like I was being treated badly.

That’s why I made a embarrassed expression.

Whether or not, the scout slowly pushed my back with a face full of smiles.

“No, really, this is…”

“Is that really not enough?”

“You’re an unknown. And since you’re a prophecy type, you deserve better treatment than that.”

“I’m jealous. You have the face, the skills, and even the supernatural powers…”

But I couldn’t refuse.

It was because of the many gazes and nonsensical words pouring in from all around.

Eventually, I had no choice but to get into the limousine.

Then the scout quickly closed the door and ran to the driver’s seat, afraid that I would run away.

“Then let’s go.”

Whatever.

I sighed softly.

Anyway, it was not a lie that the guild leader of the Shinwha Guild had told them to be treated with the utmost care; the inside of the limousine was comfortable.

It’s almost like an unshakable comfort.

Anyway, there was a refrigerator in the limousine, and it was full of expensive wines that you don’t usually see.

And some of them were items I had seen in the pre-ice world.

‘That’s what those old people often ate.’

I remembered how I used to brag about it by taking just one sip and throwing it away.

‘At least $120,000 a bottle.’

I didn’t understand it at the time.

Seeing that there were so many of them, I thought it would be okay to take a sip of one or two and then throw them away.

“You can drink, but please don’t drink so much that you get drunk.”

As I was fiddling with the wine, taking it out of the fridge, because something familiar was there, the scout responded.

I guess he thought I wanted to drink.

“No, I didn’t take it out to drink it. I just looked at it out of curiosity.”

I put the wine back in its proper place.

“Is that so?”

“Yes, because it looks familiar.”

“Does it look familiar? That’s…”

“You should drive while looking ahead. You might end up in an accident.”

“Oh, I’ll be careful.”

Perhaps realizing that I didn’t want to talk, the scout shut his mouth and began to focus on driving.

How many minutes did I run like that?

Soon, the limousine stopped in front of the main entrance of the building that appeared to be the headquarters of the Shinwha Guild.

“We have arrived.”

“thank you.”

“Then I’ll see you when you go back.”

“Oh, that’s fine.”

“Please, I won’t even lay down carpets then.”

If that’s the case, then yes.

The limousine was fine, the red carpet was the problem.

I nodded and stepped out through the automatically opened limousine door.

“I was waiting for you, Lee Seong-hyeon.”

At the same time, a man with a neat and tidy appearance wearing a brown suit greeted me warmly.

“From now on, I will guide you for a little while.”

“Who are you?”

“Oh, I’m late in introducing myself. My name is Seokjun Ahn from Team 7 of the Shinwha Guild. Nice to meet you.”

This also seemed to be an extension of that extreme treatment.

This time, unlike the dormitory earlier, it was better because no one was watching me, perhaps because it was past work hours.

Since a guide was necessary, I nodded.

“Please take care of me. More importantly, I’m an intern and I’m young, so you can speak freely.”

“No. Right now, you are an intern through an internship, but Lee Seong-hyeon is the future leader of our Shinwha Guild and will become a team leader after graduating from the academy.’

I’m going to be the leader of the Myth Guild?

‘That’s funny.’

But he didn’t deny it right away.

It’s better not to show that kind of appearance.

“Even so, when I see someone older than me speaking louder, I feel uncomfortable. Please.”

“No.”

“Oh, then please let me go, even if it’s only when we’re alone. Is that possible?”

Anyway, this is one of the places where the play will continue.

I gave Ahn Seok-jun a look that seemed like a burden.

“… Then is that so?”

Seokjun Ahn thought for a moment, then nodded.

“But when other people see me, I’ll do what I did before.”

“Okay. Then, I’ll ask you to take care of me again. This is Lee Seong-hyeon.”

“Yeah, right. By the way, I have time now… Oh, I think I need to run a little. Can you run?”

Seokjun Ahn looked at his wristwatch, and his face darkened slightly.

Then he immediately got into a running stance.

“Can you run? What do you mean?”

It was a sound I didn’t understand.

“I’m telling you that the guild leader wanted to meet Seonghyeon.”

“Me?”

“Yeah, that’s…”

When I showed a puzzled expression, Ahn Seok-jun continued his explanation.

To summarize, it was as follows.

Unlike other cadets who were doing internships, I wanted to see it in advance since I would later become a team leader.

And it seemed that he was also interested in the fact that he was a person with the power of prophecy.

“Okay, but do I have to run?”

“The meeting with the guild leader starts in 3 minutes.”

“Is there a problem with that?”

As long as you take the elevator, there won’t be a problem.

No matter how big the building is, you can get anywhere in 3 minutes by taking the elevator.

“That’s… because the elevator is broken.”

“…Can’t you just ride something else?”

“Ahahaha, they’re all broken. It’s like someone broke them on purpose.”

An Seok-jun scratched his head.

“So, you’re saying I have to take the stairs?”

Then he looked up at the top floor of the Myth Guild towering over the sky and smiled awkwardly.

“Huh, are you going to Shinhwa this time?”

Laplace Academy Girls’ Dormitory.

The pink-haired woman tilted her head slightly as she watched the limousine pulling out of the boys’ dormitory in the distance from the rooftop.

That was because it was a little different from what he knew.

No, I know why it changed.

Didn’t they say that the flapping of a butterfly’s wings could bring a typhoon to New York?

Now that the prerequisites have changed, actions can also change.

But that was because I didn’t understand it.

“That dying old man couldn’t possibly look more appetizing…”

I couldn’t understand why he, always pressed for time, would go so far away.

Even though the Nokdo is S-class, it doesn’t help much even if you turn it into a vampire.

Of course, he has powers, but they are inferior to the powers he already has.

All you get is a myth that is half torn from what it was before.

“No matter how much I think about it, it seems like a good idea to use Seo Yeon-hwa like last time to carry out some terror attacks on Seoul, then exterminate her when her use wears off to raise her reputation, then secretly steal her, disassemble her limbs, and use her as a portable mana tank. Could it be that the skill was applied incorrectly?”

I’ve been casting skills on him ever since I met him, but it’s not the kind that impairs my judgment.

The effect is very simple.

It was enough to relieve me of some of my doubts.

To be exact, it was a skill that led thoughts in a different direction.

From noble mtl dot com

“I don’t know.”

Using your head isn’t your special skill.

It wasn’t the right environment, and even when it wasn’t, I just rolled around without knowing anything.

But I still want to help.

Everything…

“senior.”

It was good anyway.

Anyway, the things I have to do won’t change.

The woman smiled.

It was a miserable smile.

It was also a terrible smile.

Affection. Regret. Thought. Despair. Joy. Hope.

And madness.

Besides that, everything else just passed by.

Perhaps because of that, I had the illusion that her face had turned completely dark for a moment.

“This time…”

To do that, you had to move, you had to move tightly.

Even if we have cheats, if we take it easy, he’ll get over them in the blink of an eye.

Until he opened the door.

Until he ran out the door.

Until he gets what he holds dear back.

I had to get everything ready.

“Because I will win.”

I want to see him despair.

I want to see him finally come to an end and fall miserably.

And I want to gently embrace him who has given up everything in despair.

“Then, like you said before, I can have everything, right?”
