Became a Dark Merchant in the Academy - Chapter 182



181 – Guild Internship_12

Guild Internship Internships are similar to regular corporate internships, but different.

The similarity is that they were trainees before becoming regular employees, but the difference lies in the period and work.

While most interns at general companies are working adults or students preparing to graduate, the Guild Internship recruited students who had not yet completed their studies.

What this meant was that unless a cadet had decided to drop out, he or she would have to go to the academy for his or her studies.

And the external academic recognition time is up to one month.

Therefore, the period of the guild internship internship had to be a short period of approximately one month.

‘A month…’

How much can you learn and how much can you do in that short period of one month?

You won’t even be able to learn proper workflow.

A genius might be able to do it, but most people aren’t geniuses.

That’s why most of the work of the interns at the guild internship was about getting used to their future workplace, networking, and other miscellaneous tasks.

But I am different.

I wonder if it’s the cadets who come to the general temple.

I came by special invitation and was supposed to become the team leader after I graduated.

Even if he was in a higher position than me now, if I thought of the future, there was no way that he would be given any trouble.

Rather, most of the time, I just watch what I feel.

So, after finishing the non-face-to-face meeting with the guild leader, I followed the leader to the assigned team.

All I did was sit still and stare blankly.

“Is there anything I can help you with?”

“Okay, it’s okay. Team Lee Seong-hyeon… The interns, please, please sit still over there. No, please sit down. No…”

“Then I’ll clean it up.”

“It’s okay. I’m good at cleaning. No, I love cleaning. So let me do it.”

“Then can I copy this?”

“Ah, I suddenly feel like making copies. I should make copies of about a thousand copies. Copying is my life!!!”

However, even though I tried to act nice and say that I would do the work as an intern or that it would be a burden, the employees were shocked and refused me with a series of ridiculous excuses.

The sight was like that of an inconsiderate boss trying to meddle in the affairs of a young employee, just like something out of a TV entertainment show.

It’s a little different from that though.

Anyway, I couldn’t just sit still like this.

It wasn’t so bad in that I didn’t do anything, but if I continued like this, my image could have been planted in a bad way.

‘That won’t work.’

If the research is accurate, after the landlord leaves, there will be mutts guarding the house who want to be the owner.

To determine them, nothing was as important as the image or the ball.

Because they want to prolong the current confusion.

If so, there is only one way.

If you can’t work inside, you can work outside.

‘To be honest, it was difficult to achieve any results with internal work in just a month.’

At that time, the team I was on also happened to be working on something outside.

Of course, if you were a normal intern, even if there was work you wanted to do, they would scold you and say that the company is not a playground and wouldn’t let you do it.

Given my position, nothing seemed impossible.

“Manager Ahn Seok-jun, would it be possible for you to come along for the afternoon work?”

“If you say afternoon work…”

“Isn’t there a gate patrol job?”

“Ah… that’s…”

Seokjun Ahn tried to refuse.

I quickly grabbed Ahn Seok-jun’s hands with both hands.

“I want to see and learn.”

“It’s a dangerous job…”

“I won’t go inside.”

“still…”

“Manager Ahn Seok-jun, come here for a moment.”

“Oh, wait a minute. What’s going on, Manager?”

While they were standing there for a moment, someone called out to Ahn Seok-jun.

One of those who had been quietly watching the situation was Manager Lee Tae-hoon.

Seokjun Ahn jumped up and approached him.

“Good. Take him out.”

“yes?”

“Are your ears blocked? You know you can’t do your job. You can’t breathe.”

“But the gate patrol job is dangerous…”

“What the hell is dangerous? Do you think I don’t know? I’m just checking a few things on the list outside without even going through the gate.”

The two of them were talking quietly.

Among the abilities I had, there was one that allowed me to hear things like that.

Even without that, it wasn’t a problem to detect such sounds with physical ability.

“That’s not true.”

“If you want to do it, do it. And before you did it, it was my previous job. Do you think I don’t know? Seok-jun, I’ll say it again. Take me out and don’t come back until work hours are over. I’ll recognize it as work hours and reduce your workload. No, from now on, just do the rounds together for a month.”

“but…”

“Oh, right… I’ll make sure to tell the team leader about it. Is that okay?”

“…”

Ahn Seok-jun eventually lowered his head, and Lee Tae-hoon patted his shoulder as if to congratulate him on his job.

**

“… something like this happened.”

Yoo Chae-ah laughed inwardly.

It was because of the absurd things I heard when I came to sow discord among those who might be able to protect me in the operation to kidnap Lee Seong-hyeon.

You made a mistake against an opponent you absolutely had to scout, and then you threatened them in a way that was too much of a hassle…

‘under…’

He was an idiot.

No matter what anyone says, he was an idiot.

‘I knew it, but.’

So, Yoo Chae-ah knew very well that everything that had happened here up until now had been resolved without any problems.

But I didn’t know you could be this stupid…

I regret all the time I spent trying to use my brother to bring down Noh Goi and carefully sow discord.

But I couldn’t show it, so I looked at Shin Jin-ho, who was sitting across from me, while controlling my expression.

“That happened? You’re lying, aren’t you? I thought the guild leader was on good terms with that cadet.”

“No.”

“Then why did that cadet come to Shinwha?”

“I wonder that too.”

Shin Jin-ho had a look on his face that said he didn’t understand English.

‘It doesn’t seem like it’s a lie.’

No matter how much I think about it, there is no reason to come to Shinwha, but I came anyway.

Yoo Chae-ah’s mind became complicated for a moment.

‘Come to think of it, I think it was an unknown from the Yeji Yeyeon series.’

Then the issue to think about was the future.

Perhaps, I saw something.

And it was clear that it was better to come here than to go to the lotus.

Otherwise, no matter how much I thought about it, there was no reason to come here.

‘What could it be?’

There was no guess.

This place will soon become Yuchae’s property.

That’s why I came here.

And the myth of the future will not give anything to Lee Seong-hyeon.

From the beginning, he had intended to kidnap her rather than give her up, so it was clear that he wouldn’t go as far as the future.

‘…I don’t know.’

Nothing is scheduled in the near future.

Well then, that’s a story for later.

He was unknown, so it was likely a misguided prophecy.

So, even though she thought it was okay to ignore it, Yoo Chae-ah was a little concerned about it.

Anyway, even so, I had to do what I had to do.

“Oh, by the way, when was it that the guild leader and intern Lee Seong-hyeon met alone?”

That’s not wrong.

It is true that the two of them met.

That was something Shin Jin-ho also knew.

That’s understandable, since it happened today.

However, speaking ambiguously, Yoo Chae-ah pretended that the same thing happened not only today but on other days as well.

“Just the two of us?”

“And I think we were having a nice conversation…”

“When was that?”

“Well, I don’t quite remember.”

Shin Jin-ho’s face became heavy.

You probably have a lot of absurd fantasies floating around in your head.

“Team Leader Yoo, what should we do?”

“That’s right. Wouldn’t it be better if you started doing better from now on?”

“…Don’t talk nonsense.”

“That’s ridiculous. I meant what I said with all my heart.”

“Team Leader Yoo.”

It’s just noisy.

‘I don’t know about 2-3 years from now, but for now, I’m just a cadet. I’m just an intern.’

A being that cannot exert any influence at the moment.

I don’t know why I’m so worried.

Still, there was no need to get involved in any more bothersome matters.

For now, just creating anxiety was enough.

Yoo Chae-ah got up from her seat.

“Where are you going?”

“I suddenly remembered something I had to do.”

“Team Leader Yoo!”

“Then I’ll excuse myself now because I’m busy with work.”

“Sleep─”

Shin Jin-ho caught Yoo Chae-ah like that, but she ignored him and left the room.

‘The tedious work is almost done.’

He also created obvious resentment among the members of other guilds, gradually driving them into desperate situations.

Now all that’s left is to exploit their despair and kidnap Lee Seong-hyeon.

It was a roundabout way of going around and around, but there was nothing I could do about it.

Since the LA incident, the World Hero Associations have been turning their backs on the villain, so we had to think about what if.

‘If only 120,000 people were safe, there would be no need for such troublesome work.’

They say you only realize the value of something after you lose it.

I’ll miss that lazy 12.

Anyway, he’s shaken up those who could protect him, so even if Lee Seong-hyeon suddenly disappears, no one will care.

Wouldn’t you rather like it?

You could question your attitude.

Of course, the Academy could have later found it suspicious and requested an investigation.

By then, all evidence will have been erased.

“Please don’t blame me. It’s your fault for just being there.”

Yuchae-ah smiled faintly and moved to the end of the long hallway.
