Became a Dark Merchant in the Academy

147 – Fiancé_5

It’s already been two weeks since an accidental meeting led to fate.

The first time she saw her, she seemed to take her breath away, but now the appearance of Xiao Mei was nowhere to be found.

“Isn’t there any uncomfortable place?”

“Yes, I think I am completely fine.”

In the health room, Xiao Mei sat on her bed and watched her move her fists and feet, smiling at her.

“I’m glad. Still, don’t overdo it. Of course, I know there is an entrance exam in a few hours, but a test is just an exam. A healthy body is the most important thing for a person—”

Oh Hye-ran, who was standing opposite Xiao Mei, responded with a smile, but she soon began to talk about her worries under the guise of precautions.

It’s not that Xiaomei’s personality is so angular.

Oh Hye-ran, who heard that she was living in a foreign country to take her entrance exam alone, triggered her unique Korean sense of remoteness.

‘In that case, you can stay at the health room during winter break.’

Since she said that, she seemed to have become attached to it, as she had been stuck in an empty health room where no injured cadets came for two weeks.

“If you get hurt anymore—”

Even so, it was too long.

‘I’m not the first parent to send her child to kindergarten…’

I wanted to cut it off because it was too long, but I had to keep the acting concept.

I stood next to her and listened to her concerns in silence.

“So, in case you need to use your strength in the entrance exam—”

Like that.

“However, in unavoidable cases—”

I couldn’t stop it, and Xiao Mei knew that she was saying it because she was really worried about her, so she couldn’t stop worrying for a long time.

“Anyway, health is the most important thing. Got it?”

“”…””

But didn’t they say that a story has an end?

Oh Hye-ran’s worries, which seemed unlikely to end, eventually came to an end.

‘I thought I could talk for an hour without stopping.’

If she had known this was going to happen, she would have cut off her earlier and skipped over it.

“Answer?”

“Yes. I will keep that in mind.”

“Cadet Lee Seong-hyun, what is your answer?”

I don’t know why you’re even asking me.

Since we often put our faces together, I wonder if there has been an internal intimacy that I don’t know about.

‘Maybe it’s good.’

I’m just acting.

“I will keep this in mind.”

“Good.”

Oh Hye-ran smiled brightly as if she had relieved herself.

This is how Xiaomei’s two weeks of living in the health room came to an end.

And then time passed.

“Thank you very much so far.”

Xiao Mei was away to prepare for her upcoming exams.

I bowed my head as I was left alone with Oh Hye-ran in the health room.

It was a token of gratitude for relieving my troubles with clean treatment and for what was to come.

“Thank you.”

“No, it’s a natural action for a healing hero and the person in charge of this health room.”

Oh Hye-ran, unaware of my thoughts, seemed to take it in a different way.

‘By the way, of course…’

After meeting several S-class people and using them as tools, B-class heroes may seem ridiculous compared to them, but they are high-class personnel.

It was absurd that one out of 100 people with mana abilities would provide intensive care for 2 weeks.

If it’s a hospital, it’s even covered by insurance. This type of professional care was a service that only the third generation of chaebol would receive.

Even if you hit the minimum daily wage, it will easily exceed 100.

But you don’t even know that, so it’s obvious.

‘I knew, but he’s really nice.’

I fell for being kind.

But even if the other person is nice, you can’t stop doing what you wanted to do.

“Because it’s okay. Raise your head.”

Oh Hye-ran touched her hand and raised me up.

“But…”

“Raise your head.”

“I didn’t say thank you for helping Xiao-Mei.”

“Huh? What is that…”

Oh Hye-ran thought of a puzzled look at the unknown words.

[…Is activated.]

Adjust so that there is no commotion with the skill.

[Please.]

Then, out of the shadows that stretched behind her, a fresh white hand came out and struck her at the nape of her neck.

“I wanted you to help me this time too.”

Two hours until the entrance exam.

I received Oh Hye-ran, who collapsed helplessly.

**

When I came to the exterior where the entrance exam was held, unlike the building where the health room used to be leisurely because it was winter vacation, it was crowded with people.

But upon closer inspection, most of them were not people who came to take the entrance exam.

“Don’t be nervous, just do what you are capable of.”

“My son’s mother will believe in it.”

“Yes. I will definitely pass.”

There were those who appeared to have come with her parents.

“Don’t be afraid, if you don’t know, just take a picture…”

“Mom!!”

The relationship between mother and daughter was also visible.

“Senior will definitely pass.”

“I hope so.”

A senior-junior relationship from the same high school.

“Hey, is it possible to pass your subject?”

“What did you say?”

“So, on your subject, to Laplace Academy—”

I saw friends who came to support the test takers.

Even so, the number of people who came to take the entrance exam was not small.

‘…’

Looking at them, Xiao Mei turned her head away.

It was because the scene was so bright that it was difficult to look at it.

‘Me too…’

Originally, if nothing had happened. For sure…

“Are you nervous?”

“!!?”

Xiao Mei was startled by the sudden arrival of her large hand on her shoulder.

Perhaps because of that, her body flinched and her slight backward step reflexively ran into the crowded crowd.

“Are you okay?”

She was Xiao Mei who almost fell from being pushed like that, but she soon had someone firmly holding her arm.

“Senior…”

It was Lee Seong-hyun.

“Sorry, I didn’t expect to be so surprised.”

He lowered her head and gave her a look of sincere apology.

Then she lost her desire to be angry.

“You don’t have to apologize, it’s because I’m nervous. Rather than that, why did you come here? Didn’t you say you had something else to do?”

“That’s why I came.”

“Yes?”

“You’ve worked hard so far, let’s wear a uniform after March.”

He smiled.

‘…’

He was a strange man.

It wasn’t even that there was an amazing encounter.

It’s not like there was any kind of relationship.

No one would know if they just passed by.

Moreover, a bomb that could explode at any time due to being intertwined with the villain.

Even knowing that, he held out his hand and supported both physically and mentally.

He said he wasn’t coming along, but he didn’t even ask why.

It seemed like he was saying that it didn’t matter.

What if he’s actually a bad person?

‘What kind of student is Seonghyeon?’

‘Yes.’

The first day I woke up, I remembered the conversation I had with Oh Hye-ran in the health room.

‘Does he seem interested?’

‘No, not yet…’

‘Not yet? Not yet…’

‘…’

‘It’s a joke, let go of your expression. Anyway, what kind of student are you… That’s a pretty difficult question.’

‘…A hard question?’

‘It’s different in how each person evaluates it. There is no proper standard, so I have no choice but to borrow various perspectives from the outside. Wouldn’t it be appropriate to say that he was a model student with that kind of perspective?’

‘A schoolboy?’

‘Would you like to take a look at this?’

Oh Hye-ran took out her cell phone and held it for a while before she held it out.

A special article was floating there.

The title was [Let’s learn about Laplace Academy’s divinity, Cadet Lee Seong-hyun.].

Xiao Mei took her cell phone and read her article.

The article contained details of his whereabouts.

He played an active part in the skyrocketing island incident, or he drew the villain’s attention for the cadets in the previous Laplace Academy terror incident and prepared time to escape.

And that he worked hard for the cadets even during the monster terror incident that became a nightmare for him…

Many other stories were written.

‘That’s right, I have that feeling too.’

‘Isn’t it? But personally, I’d say he’s a nice kid. He must be feeling that too, right?

At Hyeran Oh’s words, Xiaomei naturally nodded.

He was a model student and a good man.

It’s like there’s not even an inch of lies.

‘But can such a person really exist?’

That’s why she doubted it.

She thought there would be no help without asking for anything in return.

“Ah, did your words shrink a bit?”

He scratched his head in embarrassment.

“…No.”

Xiaomei laughed a little.

Now I have a rough idea.

That he is such a person.

“Thank you, senpai. I will definitely pass.”

Obviously, there may be things that have not been said.

There may be secrets that Xiao-Mei doesn’t know.

But that’s only natural.

Everyone has at least one or two things they don’t want to talk about.

There are a few facts he didn’t reveal to him even if he was himself.

The fact that he came here to seek out and avenge his father’s enemies…

“Go for it.”

“I’ll be back.”

Being sent off with a bright smile from Seonghyun Lee, Xiao Mei moved towards her exterior.

Twenty minutes until the entrance exam.

For now, it was time to put aside revenge for a while and focus on the exam.

**

‘The standard of academy is, after all, terrorism in the entrance exam.’

Inside the abandoned factory where darkness fell, Eishun leaned against his pillar and chewed the unknown words of the black robe again.

Terrorizing the entrance exam? And that to Laplace Academy?

How much did you suffer because you were framed for doing something similar to that?

It was something I never wanted to do again.

‘So let’s try it too.’

But Eishun couldn’t refuse.

It was because he knew that he could not escape the hands of the monster who had taken over half of the organizations in Korea, and that even if he did, he would die the moment the monster changed his mind due to the contract on him.

“…”

I let out a sigh.

I have no idea how I ended up in this situation.

But in order to live, I had to do what I was told to do.

“Kurerureu─”

A small cry was heard in the darkness.

The red eyes sparkled.

-Kaaang!!

The sound of chains being tightened echoed through the abandoned factory.

As he turned his head to the sound, the basilisk, the monster used in the Laplace Academy monster terror incident a year ago, came into Eishun’s field of vision.
