Became a Dark Merchant in the Academy - Chapter 218



217 – Student Council President Election_21

By speaking, people can express their opinions to each other and lead each other in a better direction.

But why do misunderstandings persist?

As most people say, is it because there was a problem with the communication process in terms of space, time, and situation that led to a misinterpretation?

No, it won’t be.

I’m not saying that there isn’t anything like that, though.

I don’t think that was the main reason.

There is only one main subjective reason.

Because I can’t understand.

Other people are your own.

Oneself to others.

Because people can never understand each other.

In the abstract, the time we have lived is different, and the experiences we have had while living are different.

In reality, the gender, height, weight, and other factors are so different that it is difficult to list them all.

“Are you really going to quit?”

After looking at the white document on the desk that said, “Resignation Letter from Support Group,”

I looked up and saw Olivia standing in front of me.

She seemed to have already made up her mind.

“I thought it would just be a nuisance.”

“No way, that can’t be!”

He kicked the chair and stood up, making an expression as if he had heard some nonsense to change his mind.

But there was no change in her expression.

Because I still can’t understand.

Because misunderstandings have piled up.

Should I call it a misunderstanding? To be exact, it could be that the misunderstanding has been resolved.

“sorry.”

“Did something happen?”

Still, acting was necessary.

He grabbed her wrist.

And then he started to act worried.

“Who the hell is doing this nonsense again?”

“That’s not it.”

“No, I told you. I’m always on your side. I’m your friend. No matter what the problem is…”

“are you okay.”

“Olivia.”

I wonder if my sincerity will reach you.

Olivia’s eyes were straight at me.

A small tremor was visible.

It seemed like he was trying to hold on to some hope that might exist.

“…saint.”

“Yeah, what’s the problem…”

“Seong-hyeon. When my sister came to visit me last year, Villain committed a terrorist attack. Do you remember?”

“Yeah. I remember.”

There’s no way I wouldn’t remember.

It was the day I received Ines, one of my attachment tools, as a gift.

How could I forget what happened that day?

Even if I forget most things, I can never forget that day.

“Back then… you ran away from the villain with me, right?”

“That’s right. But why?”

“My memory is… vague…”

“Ah… maybe that’s because he got hit in the head by the villain while running away and passed out?”

“Is that…real?”

“Is it real?”

“No… I’ll ask again. Seonghyun, have you ever lied to me?”

Have you ever lied?

It was a difficult question.

That’s understandable, because it was a lie from beginning to end.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about, but I can tell you for sure. I’ve never lied, not even once.”

But let’s think about it the other way around.

If it was all a lie.

If everything was a lie.

The truth is that lies are true, and isn’t the truth a lie?

In a one-eyed world, having two eyes is considered a disability.

In a world of lies, the truth is a lie.

“Oh…yeah…that’s…right…?”

A voice desperately holding back tears struck my ears.

“I’m sorry…for making that…strange…sound.”

She turned her head.

Then he shook my arm off and left the support team office.

A squeak and the sound of the door scraping against the floor echoed throughout the office.

A small breeze blew in the closed space.

Then, Olivia’s resignation letter from the support group floats away.

I reached out and caught the resignation letter before it hit the floor.

“If you don’t fix it, it’ll be over.”

He is truly sincere.

There’s no need to bring up something like this, you can just say you’re not going to do it.

‘No, so was it useful?’

It’s really such a shame.

“Isn’t that right, Eve?”

“…”

As Olivia left, Eve, who had been hiding in a room inside the support office, stood far away from me and glared at me.

It seemed like misunderstandings had piled up again.

“Please don’t stare at me. You and I are known to be on pretty good terms. What would other people think if you made that kind of expression?”

“What do you… want?”

What do you want?

That was the only one.

─Sob…

“It’s my fun.”

People tend to pursue pleasure.

I too am a being that falls into the category of humans.

There is nothing wrong with pursuing pleasure without any grand cause or clear goal, right?

Because we are human.

“trash.”

“Are you suddenly selling? Well, whatever. More importantly, how are you feeling? Are you excited to be attending Laplace Academy again?”

“…”

“Are you just going to say what you want to say and then remain silent again?”

He is truly a hero.

It is said that this was called a guardian angel-like name in France.

I wonder what kind of country France is in this world.

“I guess that’s fine, but could you come closer? It’s nothing special, but it’s not something you can talk about so far away.”

Eve doesn’t seem to want to listen to me.

Although his face was wrinkled, his body was honest, unlike his facial expression.

However, it was not intentional.

It was thanks to Sarah’s command to follow my words absolutely.

“Hmm.”

He came closer, grabbed Eve’s chin, and looked at her face from side to side.

The dye absorbed the hair well.

I didn’t feel any discomfort with contact lenses either.

Of course, since the facial skin had been ripped off and replaced, a rough feeling remained behind the ears that were covered by hair.

Since no one would touch a place like this, it didn’t seem like it would be a problem.

The problem was that her height was originally smaller than Eve’s.

Just use an insole and that’s it.

If you don’t know Eve’s original height, you can just pass it by.

“Not bad.”

If it was like this, there wouldn’t be a problem no matter when I came to Laplace Academy.

But why hasn’t Eve shown up until now, even though she came to Laplace Academy as an exchange student?

Isn’t it because my body and mind were in pain and it was difficult for me to come out?

But no matter how I looked at it, Eve looked fine now.

If I went to the academy in this condition, my lie could have been exposed.

The details of deceiving someone tend to boil down to one little thing like this.

‘Should I make you act?’

no.

I’m not a professional actor. I told him to pretend to be sick.

She could only function within the limits of what she knew.

If so, there is only one way.

It was really painful.

“But details are important, right?”

However, I did not intend to simply cause suffering through violence.

Most of those things are one-offs.

It was difficult to maintain a continuous appearance.

Also, I am careful with my tools.

Externally, I didn’t want to touch it.

[…you purchased]

[…you purchased]

[…you purchased]

So the choice was drugs.

Open a secret shop and buy all kinds of drugs.

A former S-class vampire would be able to withstand this much.

It is strong and the amount is so large that it can become addictive.

That could be fixed later by manipulating the blood flow in the brain and using electricity.

It was a proven method, as I’d experimented with it many times with small-time villains.

Of course, it’s not like there are no side effects at all.

That was just to pass over.

“You─”

Eve seemed surprised, knowing what the pills were that appeared out of thin air.

But my movements were faster than that.

“Open your mouth.”

By command, her mouth opened wide.

Without missing the gap, he grabbed the lower jaw and poured out the medicine.

“─!!!”

There was some rebellion in that series of actions, but it wasn’t a rebellion.

“You must not spit it out.”

Before long, a simple mumbling sound was heard.

“Now you can just gulp it down.”

Eve’s throat moved.

And how much time passed?

Her body gave out, she fell to the floor and began to convulse.

“Ah… uh… ah#%$%&%^…”

This was because he had swallowed at once an amount that was dozens of times more than the lethal dose for humans.

But, he didn’t die.

Now it looks like he’s in a state where he won’t be able to attend the Academy.

“It’s cute.”

But are drugs drugs?

It didn’t seem like there was only pain.

“O…li…”

It seems like you also see happy expressions every now and then.

It seemed like I was having a good dream.

Laplace Academy Life.

Commonly known as Lara, it is an internet bulletin board community used by students attending Laplace Academy.

This is a place to exchange information from inside and outside of Laplace Academy, and for students to chat about incidents that occurred at the Academy.

That’s why it could be said that it was the place where news was delivered the fastest when something happened at Laplace Academy.

And now, the student council president election is the biggest topic of conversation for most students regardless of grade.

[Election] Rie Tachibana’s performance.

[Election] Let’s find out the incompetence of Park Yul-cheon, the student council president.

[Election] Candidate Lee Won-jun is actually…

Most of the newly registered posts were election-related, as shown above.

In that case, it would have been natural for the best posts of the day to be election-related posts.

The post currently ranked #1 has nothing to do with the election.

[Free] Title: What do you think about this?

Yesterday, I was passing by the 3rd floor of Building 3 because I had something to do.

I heard a conversation inside a room.

So at first I thought they were just talking among themselves or on the phone, so I didn’t pay much attention and tried to leave.

Well, what’s the big deal about being dead?

Like, why is it my fault?

Like wanting to kill them all.

I heard something like that.

There have been a lot of incidents and accidents at the academy lately, like villains invading the academy and things like that.

So I thought something dangerous might be going on, so I listened in to see who was talking.

─ was on the phone.

Oh, I’ll keep your name a secret.

I don’t think it’s right to say the name.

Anyway, I felt relieved once I confirmed that he wasn’t a suspicious person.

Even if you think it’s a little strange, you don’t know the context.

From noble mtl dot com

I didn’t have any particular feelings.

But… really.

The moment I was about to ignore it and pass by, I heard words I couldn’t ignore.

It’s so shocking that I can’t say exactly.

If you purify them, there are about 3 billion of them. Even if one or two die, it won’t be noticeable.

He said something along the lines of, “Didn’t you clean up the bugs?”

To be honest, it’s not like I don’t understand it at all.

Although it was processed anonymously.

His situation is a bit special.

Even if you just stay still, you get cursed at as a basic rule, and he says he’s even received dozens of death threats.

I think I would be angry if I were in that position.

But even if you’re angry, you should curse at the people who caused the harm.

Isn’t it a little strange to be angry at innocent victims?

So I told him that it seemed a bit off, and that he should be careful with what he says, because if someone hears it, they might misunderstand.

But if you’re not related, just ignore it.

He also got really angry because I overheard him talking to other people.

It’s so absurd.

Of course, it was wrong to eavesdrop.

But isn’t this a bit too much?

I was just giving him some advice.

What do you all think?

Is it my fault? Or is it his fault?

-Anonymous 563: Even if you pretend not to know, this is still gossip… More importantly, did he say that? Is it true that there is a younger sibling like that older sister?

-Anonymous 441: It’s obvious that this is gossip. Shouldn’t we not listen to only one side of the story?

-Anonymous 650: Is this real? He really said that? Huh… Shit.

-Anonymous 1120: Oh, I see. Does he have a name that goes in there?

-Anonymous 132: Who are you? What are you talking about? Why are you the only ones who know this!!?
