Became a Dark Merchant in the Academy - Chapter 227



226 – Student Council President Election_30

After finishing nursing Olivia, Marie Lindbergh couldn’t believe her eyes when she saw a video of Lara uploaded while taking a short break.

Tachibina Rie stole their promise, conspired with a villain, and when Olivia found out the truth after chasing after them, she framed them and tried to kill them?

‘Does that make sense?’

That’s a runaway.

What Lee Seong-hyeon was doing could only be seen as reckless.

Of course, I know the background to why he was going wild like that, so it’s not like I couldn’t understand his feelings.

‘The opponent is wrong.’

Why are you rushing at that person?

This does not mean that everything Lee Seong-hyeon claimed is wrong.

As for the promise, I admit it.

That would be the case, because that level of consistency wouldn’t be possible without stealing the level.

So, if you just talk about it, there’s no problem.

But that was nonsense.

Why would the daughter of the Donggun Alliance official do something like that?

In league with the villain?

To raise funds through illegal business within the Academy?

Tried to kill your friend?

Because you found out the secret?

In a foreign country too?

Although she is a cadet, she is clearly a foreigner.

What a big scandal and bad news that would be for someone who would later become a politician.

There’s no way she wouldn’t know that.

Of course, knowing something doesn’t guarantee that you won’t do it.

Because in life, there are things called “ifs.”

However, unless you have an uncontrollable, incurable wall of despair that keeps you from making a living, or are a doomsayer who wants your life to fall into the abyss, it will be the right choice 99.99999% of the time.

And the Tachibana Rie that Marie Lindberg had seen was not that kind of person.

I can’t say I know him well, though, as we’re not close.

She, whom I’ve known for a year, is a bit arrogant, but never goes beyond that.

And I never heard of Olivia following them around.

If something like that had happened, how could he not have known, as he was a fellow support group member and friend?

Of course, the two of you wouldn’t have gotten together or anything like that, except for me.

Therefore, it was clear that there was no evidence or physical proof.

If such things existed in the first place, the evidence would have been presented when making the claim.

So it was clear that it was a false accusation.

‘Why are you doing that?’

That’s why I didn’t understand.

Why are you hanging on to Tachibana?

She is not the one who framed Olivia.

The real culprit who framed me is somewhere else.

Although the name wasn’t revealed, didn’t Lara also get any clues about the real culprit?

‘Have you seen it?’

There is also a possibility that Lee Seong-hyeon did not see the article.

And then, in a state of excitement, your thoughts ran wild and you got carried away, based on the fact that you stole the promise?

‘It’s not impossible, but…’

If so, then you are making a huge mistake now.

Marie Lindbergh quickly picked up her cell phone and called him.

‘…I don’t accept it.’

I can hear the call waiting tone, so my phone’s battery is dead.

It doesn’t seem like it’s broken.

I called him more than 10 times but he didn’t answer.

Even if I leave a message, the 1 next to the message does not disappear.

‘It won’t work.’

That’s why I asked around about where he was.

From noble mtl dot com

I couldn’t meet him.

It goes without saying that the Laplace Academy grounds are very large.

Even if I went to see him after hearing about the sighting, he had already left.

I decided that this couldn’t go on, so I had no choice but to inform the members of my election support team about this and ask for their help.

Of course, we can’t say that we are on good terms. I wondered if he would help me even if I asked for help.

Still, since it was related to Lee Seong-hyeon, I judged that there was a high possibility that he would help.

‘Since it’s Seonghyeon’s job, there must be a reason. You don’t trust Seonghyeon, do you?’

Han Yu-ri said so.

You don’t believe me? Absolutely not.

But isn’t this a little strange?

‘If someone doesn’t ask you for help, you shouldn’t interfere.’

Yeon Eun-ryeong shook her head.

Don’t bother me, I’m just trying to correct the misunderstanding and help you.

‘If it was Seonghyeonni’s request, why should I help you?’

Redhead, Nise Akari, closed the door as if she didn’t want to hear it.

I was a fool to have expected even the slightest thing.

‘Really? Um… I’ll help you.’

Xiaomii said she would help.

But there was no contact after that.

Even though we clearly agreed to contact each other at least every hour.

‘I see you were thinking the same thing. That’s fortunate.’

Anten helped me wholeheartedly.

He also brought back some information about sightings.

There were no major achievements.

Of course, there are still people besides these who can ask for help.

Unlike most people, Marie Lindbergh managed to maintain connections and friendships within the Academy.

But what is the election support team for?

Aren’t we gathered here to help Lee Seong-hyeon?

Even though we could somehow get away with playing separately, this really wasn’t it.

‘I don’t need anything anymore!!’

Marie Lindbergh barely contained her boiling anger.

I asked others for help.

Of course, I felt sorry because I knew it had nothing to do with them.

But it was too much for me to do on my own.

‘Oh, there he was.’

And how long has it been since you asked for help?

At sunset, Cheon Yu-seong came and coughed in vain and told me where Lee Seong-hyeon was.

‘thank you.’

‘No. I just happened to see it. But if Mari has time…’

‘I will definitely repay this favor next time.’

‘…okay.’

I expressed my gratitude and ran over.

And that one I finally found.

“Seonghyun!!”

Marie Lindbergh ran quickly to see if he would disappear.

Then he showed me the article posted on Lara and said.

This is not it, I think you’ve got the wrong idea.

I quickly corrected the story and persuaded Tachibana to apologize.

“It’s necessary.”

With a calm expression, he dismissed it.

You said this was for Olivia.

‘Something for Olivia?’

Marie Lindbergh believes in him.

Because I pride myself on knowing better than anyone else what kind of person Lee Seong-hyeon is.

So, even if he had been wrong in his thoughts and judgments up until now, he never denied it.

But not denying something doesn’t necessarily mean affirming it.

Rather, what had to be done was done.

That’s why I asked for the basis.

And if the evidence is true, he promised to do everything he could to help.

If necessary, we will also lend our strength to the Lindberg Group.

“It’s okay, this is my job as Olivia’s friend.”

“What? What is that…”

However, he bluntly refused.

Then he left without even giving me a glance.

“Sleep─”

I unconsciously stretched out my arm.

Didn’t reach.

Lee Seong-hyeon was so far away.

**

“wait.”

I was on my way to the broadcasting department office to put an end to this matter.

Cheon Yu-seong, who had been leaning against a tree, jumped out and blocked the road.

I guessed the reason.

It must be because of Marie who came to see me earlier.

‘It’s annoying.’

His turn comes later.

I had no desire to get involved right now.

That is why I have tried my best not to interfere or approach them to prevent them from appearing until now.

Even if it’s rotten, it’s still the original story’s main character.

Because I didn’t know how or in what way they would bother me.

Of course, the guy will never reach me.

If he had grown up like the original, there would have been some possibility.

They ruined the basic storyline and limited growth.

I took the heart share, which was the guy’s important item.

All assistants like Akari were also excluded.

And that’s not all.

Or get taught by Ines at the Olivia event.

You get invited to the auction house as part of a Marie event and obtain magical tools.

Gain practical experience by dealing with Astra’s Numbers.

I also completely eliminated the need to build a network of connections.

Still, the fact that he is the main character doesn’t change.

Doesn’t the protagonist carry around something ridiculous called protagonist compensation?

‘No, maybe upper class B… maybe lower class A?’

Even looking at it now, it is still like that.

They took away most of the events.

It seems like he keeps receiving teachings and other things from somewhere.

The difference between before and after starting the guild internship was so great.

I felt like I had reached a level that was unattainable at the normal cadet level.

That’s the main character.

The world’s favorite.

Even if you give him an unsolvable problem, he finds a way to solve it on his own, and when he is in danger, he gets help from an unknown helper.

A being that does not die even after dying, but rather awakens and becomes stronger than its opponent.

Furthermore, it is understood that the only ability the guy currently possesses is descent.

The guy has many hidden talents that even he doesn’t know about.

If you mess with it carelessly, you never know what kind of special ability might come out.

I wasn’t an adventurous person, so much so that I would go and poke a wasp nest with my bare body and no protective gear, even with a flamethrower.

“I told you to wait!”

So I tried to ignore it and pass by, but Cheon Yoo-seong grabbed my shoulder.

“…What’s going on? I’m a little busy right now. If it’s not urgent, how about we talk later?”

When he turned his head and only then did he react, Cheon Yu-seong opened his mouth as if he was dumbfounded.

“What if it’s urgent?”

“Then I guess I should listen.”

“Really? Then go and kill him.”

“An apple?”

“Go to Marie and apologize.”

That’s funny.

Although I was a little bit annoyed by Marie’s presumptuous behavior.

Whatever I do with my tools, it’s up to me as the owner.

It wasn’t something for the three parties to argue about.

“why?”

“Marie said that because she was worried about you. Do you know how much trouble she went through today trying to find you, who she couldn’t even contact? But you…”

“I know, but that’s none of your concern.”

“what?”

Cheon Yoo-seong crumpled his expression.

It seemed like he didn’t like what I said.

“A third party should not interfere in a fight between lovers.”

That is why I put forward the correct theory.

We’ve never been lovers.

It was a specific remedy for removing leeches.

Of course, the lovers had a bit of a difference of opinion and fought.

Why would he interfere?

“You’re not related. Or what? Are you still after Marie?”

“that…”

“Do you even think that if you come out like this, Marie will look back at you?”

“…”

By the way, I threw in a few teasing words.

Because he was the main character, I treated him with caution, but it was so awkward for him to come forward without knowing the topic.

Cheon Yoo-seong’s hands trembled.

I slapped away that strange hand and turned around.

“Mari ran away with her tail between her legs, saying she would live even though it was dangerous.”

And then he muttered something that was meant to slightly touch on the guy’s trauma.

‘I think it’s just a nuisance.’

It was because a familiar sound was heard from far away.

I can’t do it myself because I have something to do.

It wouldn’t matter if someone else did it for me.

“You─!!”

The scream of a thousand stars.

I felt a hand come up to my shoulder again and grab it.

My body that follows him.

If you wanted to endure it, there was nothing you couldn’t endure.

I gave it a moderate amount.

The front of the fist is visible.

“My story is not over yet…”

And one voice.

Cheon Yoo-seong’s body trembled.

However, the fist could not overcome the acceleration and sank straight into my face.

“meteor…?”
