Became a Dark Merchant in the Academy - Chapter 205



204 – Student Council President Election_8

The blinking of the eyes was about 0.1 second late.

The mouth moved about 0.3 mm to the right and soon returned to its original position.

The inhalation was one beat faster, and the exhalation was one beat slower than before.

There was a very slight tremor on his face.

Other than that, I noticed that my heartbeat was a little louder and my index finger was twitching a little.

One second, or even less.

Yukina Ishihara noticed that Lee Seong-hyeon was flustered.

Also, I knew that the reason was, of course, because of Tachibana’s promise that included his own corrections.

But he didn’t show it.

Clearly, my mind was filled with the thought of wanting to capture that rare sight in a close-up video or photo, so my hands were trembling.

It was because I realized without anyone saying anything that showing such an unnatural appearance here could give away a clue.

‘Of course, if you were to write directly, the story would be different.’

The unique temperament of a senior who can see straight ahead and see all the truth that can be seen.

If you look into yourself with that, you know that the skills you’ve put aside will be rendered useless in an instant.

‘But you probably won’t use it, right?’

He doesn’t write directly.

There is no way it can be used.

‘It’s been two years now and you still have a bit more left?’

The more you use it, the more urgent it becomes.

Because it will be difficult to make rational decisions.

Because the facts you’ve been trying to avoid will come crashing down on you from all sides.

So you can do your work with peace of mind.

Of course, I know that it is not safe to not use direct vision.

So take a breath.

Another breath.

I took a deep breath and calmed down.

“senior?”

It’s not time yet.

From noble mtl dot com

There is no such thing as absolute.

Even if we have one of the three keys.

Now was the time to aim for getting a little closer.

Getting closer little by little.

Without even noticing, he sends out a handful of poison.

Cut off the limbs.

By blinding them.

Pickled in medicine.

So that they can’t run away.

“Are you okay?”

I can be patient for that.

You can pull up your sleeves and smile innocently as if you know nothing.

‘I love you, senior.’

Yukina Ishihara was in great love.

**

The explosion in the square was a terrorist bomb attack by villains hiding in the audience.

Secondly, why did you target an academy rather than a national organization or association?

By the time I ran out onto the plaza stage to solve the incident, the Ikatsuchi Guild members that Tachibana Rie had brought in advance had already subdued the terrorists.

For now, I couldn’t do anything and could only watch them being dragged away while screaming that it was revenge for the oppression or something like that.

“No matter what happens, I and I will protect the safety of all cadets. This was Rie Tachibana.”

And as the situation calmed down to some extent, the chaos in the square subsided.

Slightly smoked and wearing dirty clothes, Rie Tachibana went back on stage to conclude her promise.

‘It must be hard.’

It would have been nearly impossible to win that fight head-on.

If someone had been hurt or killed, those words would have been denied.

Despite the huge explosion in the square, there were no deaths or injuries, except for a small dent in the ground and a shattered stage.

Clearly, the explosion radius included many civilians.

There, Rie Tachibana flew herself to subdue the villains and save the people.

That is, she proved that she could keep the promises she made to herself.

But even if I make the same promise, it ends up being backwards compatible.

Due to safety concerns, the first event, the pledge announcement on the Tachibana Rie Line, was temporarily suspended and postponed to a later date.

“…”

It was a natural course of action.

It was the worst possible news.

Originally, these types of events were often attended by people looking at the candidates.

However, Yukina and I are the only candidates who have not announced their pledges.

No one came to see Yukina.

I have some level of recognition, so people will come.

Those people are the ones who would vote for me if possible, so it wasn’t an appealing point.

In other words, no matter what words or promises were made, it was inevitable that the response and its aftermath would be significantly lower than before.

In addition, the pledges he brought up overlap with Tachibana Rie’s pledges.

[It seems like there were some very dangerous things too.

The campaign for the Laplace Academy student council president election has finally begun.

So, right after the first broadcasting club idol Arin event, we conducted a public opinion poll.

The results just came out.

Let’s find out together now.

The first place goes to Rie Tachibana. She received a whopping 39.2% approval rating.

I think what happened that day had a huge impact on all of you cadets.

The second place goes to former chairman Park Yul-cheon, with a 28.2% approval rating.

Even if I wasn’t re-elected, does that mean my two years of work weren’t in vain?

Or is it simply the power of money?

Xiaolongjun came in third with a 10.5% approval rating.

He made the bold promise to call the King a professor, but is it true that safety and money take priority over power?

I wonder if it’s even feasible in the first place.

4th place goes to Lee Won-jun, with a 10.3% approval rating.

It’s a shame that the difference with 3rd place is only 0.2%.

Fifth place goes to Lee Seong-hyeon. He received a 9.8% approval rating.

Is it because there are many overlapping parts in the pledges?

Personally, I picked it as a dark horse, but it’s disappointing.

Yes? Why did you pick him as a dark horse?

It’s not because of the face!!

There is a profound reason for this.

It’s true!

6th place goes to Yukina Ishihara. She received a 1.8% approval rating.

I think he had the support of the first-year cadets because he was the only first-year cadet among the candidates.

Besides that, there are reviews saying that he is cute when he smiles with a blank face.

Next…]

As the announcement coming from the TV in one corner of the support team office said, it was only natural that they would come in 5th place.

No, I hope that’s not the case, that was the Nolbu symbol.

‘Is recovery possible?’

It was possible.

If what I think after seeing a series of events is correct.

It could be turned around during the debate, the second event of the election campaign.

No, it’s not just enough to turn things around, it’s enough to take first place.

If that’s true, then Tachibana Rie is no different from deceiving a cadet.

However, to prove it, it was necessary to secure solid evidence.

For example, evidence that the villains had some kind of deal with Tachibana.

‘But is that necessary?’

I also erased my eyes and ears just in case.

There was no one here to intervene right away.

There is no requirement to do it the right way.

All you have to do is make Tachibana Rie a member of your retinue or have the candidate resign voluntarily.

Of course, if the top candidate suddenly drops out, the cadets will have doubts, but will they be directed at me, who came in fifth?

No. It was clear that it would go to Park Yul-cheon, who had the potential to compete.

Even if that wasn’t the case, it would have been the end if it had been made that way.

Then, we can easily get rid of 1st and 2nd place.

There is also the merit of overlapping 1st place and promise, so if you use that, you can easily reclaim 1st place from then on.

Wasn’t that the purpose of building awareness and creating an image up until now?

‘That’s true, though.’

Something was on my mind.

During the last National Academy terrorist attack, I had a feeling that my plan was starting to go awry little by little after the villain union executives I was trying to capture were killed by the heroes.

But the cause could not be found.

No matter how much I doubted it, my brain was telling me that it wouldn’t be a problem.

“ray.”

Doubts cannot be erased.

The possibility cannot be ruled out.

But it would be foolish to miss out on what needs to be done, to only consider timing, and to only consider the best method among the methods.

So there’s only one way to try here.

I try every possible way I can think of and find a more effective way.

A shadow rippled at my call.

**

“Eeeeek!!”

A special interrogation room for those with mana abilities, located on one side of the police station.

C-class villain Yang Ho-chil crawled on the floor with his mana restraints and gag in his mouth before that.

Thoughts like breach of contract, being lured by good terms, and how did I end up here lingered in my mind for a moment.

It was more to escape from impending death.

“I know.”

But I couldn’t get out.

Even if you crawl on the floor in a closed room and pound on the firmly closed door, the only escape route, until your head bleeds.

There was no response from the police and heroes, either because they had already left work or because they did not hear the commotion inside.

“But I still got hit.”

That’s why I tried to pray to the grim reaper who holds the power over my life and death.

Those pink eyes weren’t looking here.

He was mumbling something he didn’t understand over and over again.

“So I changed my approach. I don’t have to win everything.”

“Eeeeeeeeeep!!!!!”

The sword the crazy b*tch was holding gleamed.

That’s why he was a good guy who twisted his body with all his might.

There was no avoiding it.

A path of light that passes gracefully across the neck.

For a moment, I thought it was beautiful.

The heat stabbed my brain constantly.

“In the end, whoever wins in the end wins.”

I couldn’t even scream in pain.

As time passes, the fever becomes dull.

Instead, I felt like my body was getting colder.

In the darkness, two eyes naturally close.

Smiling brightly…
