Became a Dark Merchant in the Academy

18 – Get the best of both worlds_5

[What should I do?]

[First of all, you need to wipe out a certain villain organization. You’re a hero, so it’s possible, right?]

[…This is the only time I’m going to fall for something like this.]

[Well, that’s my decision, not Licht-sama’s. You don’t want to know about him? ]

[…So where should I go?]

[That’s what…]

I was speechless at Richt’s question.

In fact, the setting that Baek Seol-jun is connected to the villain organization came from the original novel, but it is not detailed where and how the villain organization works.

Even though it was stated that Licht would later get rid of the organization, there was no location, and it was briefly written that it had been eliminated in a few lines, so there was no way to know where the villain organization was right now.

‘But there is a way to know’

But the villain organization is within this city.

That’s the unchanging truth.

Then it wasn’t that there was no way.

‘It’s an ignorant method, but it’s not related to some sort of information organization’

There are no special abilities.

[We will contact you separately for details. Until then, have a good night’s sleep. You’ll be busy when you get in touch.]

[…]

Once I finished contacting Licht, I went to bed.

It was because morning had to come first to execute that method.

And the morning of the same day.

Class K classroom.

I opened my mouth at the lecture table, which I have become accustomed to.

“I have a request for everyone—”

If I can’t find it, just release the number and that’s it.

The reason for doing multiple jobs is like that…

There is an enemy in Class K. Do you know how much?

That’s how Baek Seol-jun started cutting off his hands and feet.

“The representative is on the outskirts of the city…”

After the class K cadets followed Baek Seol-jun or his aides inside the academy and roughly figured out where they were going.

Choose the right place by matching the original knowledge I know with what the villain organization does.

[Isn’t that building suspicious? Please, a righteous hero.]

[Before the damn guy, it was a family home…]

Try using Licht several times.

“Representative Well, that person is embezzling the academy equipment…”

“Okay then I should report it?”

I can’t find out the weakness or corruption of my aides and report it using Oh Seong-jin and the buyers.

From noble mtl dot com

“Hyeji, I think the real weapon of a woman is tears”

“Okay…”

And shake it a little.

“Representative—”

“Representative—”

“Representative—”

[Please]

[I guess not]

[Isn’t that great?]

Through so many things, the preparations were progressing smoothly.

The Villain organization that Baek Seol-jun cooperated with was mostly exterminated due to Licht and public power, and was on the news every day.

With the voluntary cooperation of the K class cadets, I received a report on Seoljun Baek’s movements in the academy, and listed those who were closely related to him one by one, and Seongjin Oh and the purchasers’ sincere accusations of fabricated corruption through coincidence one by one. In the academy, Baek Seol-jun’s hands and feet were silenced one by one through discipline.

Is it because of that time?

“I can’t go on like this. Student Lee Seong-hyun, that despicable president is pressuring me in all directions. Didn’t you see that just by being near me, the faculty and staff were being caught and leaving their seats for trivial matters…”

Seoljun Baek hurriedly summoned me to the vice president’s office.

He was sitting on a chair in the office, shaking his legs as if he was angry because things didn’t work out properly, and his fat belly was swaying.

“That kind of thing… This is an outrage.”

I laughed at Baek Seol-jun’s words, but I shook my head and responded moderately with a shocked expression. Then Seoljun Baek came over and put his hand on my shoulder and said in a trembling voice.

“Yes…I tried to take a little more time to perfect it, but now I can’t help it. I’m going to have a press conference right away tomorrow, is that possible?”

Not possible.

“Yes, of course.”

I nodded.

“Thank you.”

“Nothing to say”

Nothing to say.

Yes, you really mean a lot.

“So tomorrow’s press conference is…”

“Okay then, like this…”

“He’s not bad either, but the cunning chairman simply…”

After properly coordinating opinions about tomorrow’s press conference, I bowed my head to Seoljun Baek, came out of the vice president’s office, took a seat in a suitable place, and listened to my phone.

[What’s up with student Seonghyun Lee?]

And after several signals, Snow White’s voice was heard.

[The date has been set.]

It was the beginning of the end.

**

I thought I would have no ties to the reporter family in my life.

Since the world I was in has changed, I wonder if the year has also changed.

Looking out from the back of the podium, I could see a tsunami of countless reporters in Auditorium 7, even though it was close to night.

Is that all?

Well, it was such a great event that the broadcasting station came and aired it live.

It seemed that Seoljun Baek had brought in all the personal connections he could use.

There was also a group sent by Seolha Baek and a very righteous hero.

‘I don’t like selling my face, but…’

I think you can like it this time.

I wasn’t called because I caused the incident, but because I’m seen as a good-looking cadet who can’t stand the injustice and accuses the hidden truth in the Laplace Academy monster runaway case that drew public attention.

‘Is it a little different?’

No matter what it was, it was said that Seolha Baek was controlling it, so there was nothing wrong with it.

Because the main character is Seoljun Baek, not me.

“Did you hear that, but the truth is that this is the content to be announced today—”

“You know, as soon as I heard it, my intuition said it was a scoop.”

“The Laplace Academy monster runaway incident is not actually a mistake on the part of the faculty, this must come out…”

“I heard someone knew about it but covered it up?”

The crowd was in a commotion.

In the middle of such a commotion, a man who was greeted by the host on the podium climbed up and took the microphone.

“mmm… We’ll start soon. Journalists, please take your seats.”

The man who was greeted by the society calmed down the still raucous reporters and induced them to sit down.

After a while the commotion subsided.

“Then let’s begin.”

The man who greeted the host gave a signal, and in line with the signal, the vice president and I climbed from the back of the podium to the podium.

Then, they were seated sequentially on the long tables on the left and right on the podium and the chairs attached to the tables.

Exploding flash. Ringing breath. The eyes of everyone gathered in the auditorium began to focus on one place.

First of all, it was Baek Seol-jun who got lucky.

“Hello, I’m Seoljun Baek, the vice president of Laplace Academy. The reason why I called the reporters like this today is to reveal the whole story about the Laplace Academy monster runaway case, which is a case that reporters are well aware of.”

Then, as if in response, a reporter raised his hand and accepted his words.

It was a reporter who matched his words with Baek Seol-jun in advance.

“This is Lee Kyung-jin of Hanul. Wasn’t it a simple case of the school staff violating safety rules?”

“No. That incident…was not just a staff mistake.”

“You mean… That there was something behind that incident?”

“Yes.”

“If you don’t mind, can I hear what’s behind it?”

“That is… The work of a certain villain organization.”

At the words of Seoljun Baek and the reporter at Tikitaka, the atmosphere in the auditorium became turbulent again.

“Behind the scenes? Villain organization? What do you mean terrorism? At Laplace Academy?”

“As expected, it was a scoop. To be honest, what kind of place is Laplace Academy? Does it make sense that two professors die and cadets die or get injured due to a simple mistake?”

“Hey, get ready to send out the scoop. There are no seats? This is the most important thing, so hit it all!!!”

“This is Yu Eun-gyeong of Maehan. What villain organization is it? The name is—”

“This is Han Na-jin from Cheongseol Ilbo. Vice President, is that true?”

“Everyone, please be quiet, please follow the order and speak!!!”

In order to calm the turmoil there, the society grabbed the microphone and shouted continuously, but the turmoil subsided when Seoljun Baek opened his mouth again.

“I will set aside time for questions later. This isn’t the only thing I’m going to tell you about… Please calm down for a moment.”

“This is Lee Kyung-jin of Hanul. Isn’t this the only issue?”

“It sounds like there is more hidden in this case.”

“If it is hidden…?”

Then it was Seoljun Baek who looked at me.

At the same time, reporters began to pay attention.

It’s my turn.

“Hello, I am Seonghyun Lee, a first year student at Laplace Academy.”

“If you were Cadet Lee Seong-hyeon, ah… He was next to the professors who died in the monster runaway incident…”

“Yes, that is correct.”

“What is the hidden thing that Vice Chairman Baek Seol-jun said?”

“It is said that there is someone who simply covered up this incident as a mistake by a faculty member.”

“Who are you!!!?”

The choice has already been made.

The point to be made here is extremely simple.

I looked at Seoljun Baek and nodded slightly.

Then Seoljun Baek responded with a smile.

‘I’m not sorry.’

Please die.

“Beksul…Jun is the vice president.”

“Yes?”

“What?”

I saw a reporter who was absent-minded because it was different from what was being said, and Seol-Jun Baek, who was tapping his ears, wondering if his ears were wrong.

At the same time, the crowd started making noise again.

“The person who concealed it is Baek Seol-jun, the vice director of the company?”

“Then why did you call a press conference?”

“This is…”

But I couldn’t stop talking here.

When Baek Seol-jun was losing his mind, he had to push him.

“This is Han Na-jin from Cheongseol Ilbo. What does that mean? Wasn’t this press conference convened by Vice Chairman Baek Seol-jun?”

A reporter who coincidentally talked to Seolha Baek asked.

“Yes, that is correct.”

“Then, is the story that Vice Chairman Baek Seol-joon is the one who simply covered up this incident as a mistake by a faculty member?”

“It’s… For a reason.”

There is a reason.

The ejaculation of a deep and deep adult.

“Reason?”

“It was to wipe out the villain organization.”

“A sweep?”

“Chief Seol-jun Baek was deeply saddened that this incident occurred due to his negligence as the Academy’s ‘security officer’.”

The words are different and ah different.

He’s the head of security.

Appointed by Seolha Baek as of yesterday.

These words are nothing more than what Seolha Baek said.

Of course, there will be some differences in what I will say later.

‘I’m sure they’ll treat that level of cuteness.’

“However, if you rush to announce that this incident was committed by a villain organization and start an investigation, the villain organization will run away, so you asked me to keep quiet about what I saw at that time in order to wipe them out.”

“Is that the sound that the villain organization has been wiped out?”

“Yes, that is correct. You’ve probably heard it too. The villain organization that Hero Licht over there wiped out…”

According to my words, the eyes of the crowd began to turn in the direction I pointed.

“Richt came too?”

“Is it true?”

“Other than that, is there any reason for Hero to come to a press conference? It’s not even a self-conference…”

“…”

Richt just stood there in silence, not paying attention to those gazes.

“Aha, I see. So, the reason for calling this press conference is to tell you that the eradication of the villain organization has been completed?”

“There is that too. It’s to catch the culprits about the truth about the incidents that have happened at Laplace Academy, but I haven’t been able to tell you properly, so I’m sorry. I am really sorry.”

“Stop—”

Seoljun Baek, who came to his senses, tried to block my mouth, but he couldn’t stop me in front of the flash and the camera.

“Then this is—”

“I’m just a cadet, and the vice president—”

“I see, Vice Chairman Baek Seol-jun, is that true?”

“…”

And after a few questions came and went.

The press conference is over.

“Seonghyun Lee!!!”

And the back of the podium, where the eyes are gone after coming down from the podium.

In the blink of an eye, I was grabbed by the collar and lifted up against the wall.

The culprit was Seoljun Baek.

As if the title of Vice President of Laplace Academy was not obtained simply through blood or money, a tremendous amount of mana gushed out from his body.

“Whose owner is this!!!”

At this rate, I felt like I would break my neck faster than die from suffocation.

“Stop it, older brother.”

But that’s only for a while.

A relief pitcher appeared.

It was snow white.

“Yes… You are the only one”

When Seolha Baek appeared, Seoljun Baek threw me roughly.

Then the confrontation began.

Seolha Baek and Seoljun Baek started glaring at each other.

“Did you do this?”

“Do you decorate? Wasn’t it a decision that my brother, the head of security, had no choice but to make to wipe out the villain organization that attacked the academy?”

“…..”

Yes.

Now that has become the case.

Even if I said no here, nothing would change.

And at first glance, the contents of the press conference say that Baek Seol-jun, the head of security, wiped out the villain organization that attacked the academy.

If you look closely, it’s just that Baek Seol-joon, the head of security, wiped his sh*t.

‘Isn’t it?’

I couldn’t even wipe it.

The dead don’t come back.

Those in charge will have to pay the price.

And the person in charge will be Seoljun Baek.

‘I got on the live broadcast, so I can’t go back.’

Because he knew that, he rushed like he was going to kill me for doing this.

‘Because Seoljun Baek can’t beat Seolha Baek…’

Did you say that Seolha Beks was a former A-class hero?

There was no way Baek Seol-jun, who had C-class strength, could win.

“Remember, I will not forget this day.”

That’s why, speaking as if he was a great villain somewhere, it seemed that he was running away in fear of Snow White.

I found it very funny.

‘Remember’

You don’t even have to remember.

Although Seoljun Baek would think that today’s work was nothing more than a blow to the back of the head and a blow to face.

‘If it was that much, I wouldn’t have screamed’

I know.

What would happen if the villain organization that was cooperating with Baek Seol-jun was betrayed?

‘Most of them were wiped out, but didn’t the most dangerous boss get caught?’

From noble mtl dot com

There was no need to see them off.

Anyway.

“Is student Lee Seong-hyun okay?”

When Seoljun Baek left like that, Snow White hurriedly ran to me, who had collapsed.

“It’s okay. Thanks to the chairman.”

“It’s okay, I said. Better not to do this. You could have been seriously hurt if someone hadn’t come.”

“No. It was what I had to do.

Since Chairman Seol-ha Baek told me that the person in charge of security, in order to protect his face, was the one who kept quiet about the villain organization’s attack on me and tried to drag it off as a simple mistake of a faculty member… For all those who can’t come back…”

This is what Seolha Baek said when he tried to conciliate me.

The nuance was a little different, and it was only that Baek Seol-jun was the one who kept silent about the invasion of the villain organization.

“Cadet Lee Seong-hyeon…Even so, please take care of yourself”

Snow White looked at me with worried eyes.

But that’s only for a while.

“Cadet Lee Seong-hyun, may I ask you a question?”

“Yes”

“Didn’t you decide to say Astra when asked what kind of villain organization you were at the press conference?”

…That’s right.

But twisting was the answer to lead me in the direction I wanted.

Of course, it is within the expected range that Seolha Baek would ask such a question.

I pulled out a piece of paper from my pocket.

“What is this?”

“This is why I changed my words in the middle.”

I read it quickly and hardened my snow-white face.

“Is this for real?”

“Wouldn’t it be right to ask Richt-sama who gave it to me for details?”

“So is he.”

If you dig into the truth later…

‘Should I kill Snow White?’

It was still ambiguous.

**

“Damn it”

It was all on her palm.

If only I knew this would happen…

No, if Lee Seong-hyun hadn’t betrayed me, I could have driven him into a corner here.

‘Yes, he betrayed me…’

Only an academy first year cadet.

If you try to handle it, neither the mouse nor the bird can handle it.

Seoljun Baek sneaked out through the back door to avoid reporters and strode towards the parked car to get out of the academy.

Weiying—!!

At the same time, the sound of a cell phone ringing in your pants pocket.

Solju Baek roughly grabbed the phone and answered the call.

[Who is busy now, so later─]

[Busy is busy, do you have to pay?]

[What?]

[Don’t pretend you don’t know, you can see it there]

The phone cuts off with an incomprehensible sound.

For some reason, Seoljun Baek felt uneasy.

“…”

So he hurriedly tried to open the car door.

Kwajik-!

“You can’t sell others and hope they are safe”

At the same time, I felt like I was flying through the air.

‘What… My body is over there… Who is next to…’

I remembered.

The long ponytail, that long attitude, and the scars on his face.

“Ah—.”

The boss of the dogs he kept.

“Tae…S…”

“I told you not to call me carelessly… I’ll take care of you since I’m dead. By the way, is Lee Seong-hyun next? There is no time and it is difficult right now…”

Seoljun Baek’s vision was darkened by darkness.
