Became a Dark Merchant in the Academy

58 – Interlude_1

“It’s been a while. How have you all been? I am…”

Lee Seon-ha stood in front of the lecture table and announced the end of the long summer vacation.

“Ehh…”

“I didn’t do anything, why the hell!?”

“Zzz..”

“Send me back 2 months!”

At that time, the class K cadets gathered in the lecture hall sighed and drooped.

Summer vacation must have lasted nearly two months, but he seemed dissatisfied.

As for how much that was, it’s normal to mumble while you’re lost.

Even though it was lecture time, there were some cadets dozing off as if their daily routine had been disrupted.

There was also a scene where a cadet was pinched or slapped on the cheek in order to determine whether it was a dream or real life.

Some pretty funny scenes from a distance.

I don’t know if it was because of that, but Lee Seon-ha stopped what he was saying and smiled bitterly.

“This is not a dream…”

“Sung Hyun!”

Of course, not all students in Class K reacted that way.

On the contrary, some people were more happy that the vacation was over.

Typically, it was Han Yu-ri and Yeon Eun-ryeong, who were on either side of me.

Han Yu-ri and Yeon Eun-ryeong each took one of my hands and sat down as if they were precious treasures.

It seems to have been left unattended for nearly two months for adjustment, but it has returned as a aftermath.

The so-called flower of both hands.

A situation that men would have thought about at least once was unfolding to me.

However, when I experienced it, it wasn’t very good.

It’s cramped and annoying.

In addition to that, I don’t have the hobby of being watched by others.

Look.

The K class cadets, who were drooping down with bored expressions, were looking at this place as if they were interested.

Feels like a monkey in a zoo.

I couldn’t stand it because it was unpleasant.

I was admiring how the main character of a harem novel that I often read was able to survive and survive these things.

But it’s also a tool I made.

I don’t know if I don’t need it.

I still needed Han Yu-ri and Yeon Eun-ryeong.

In addition, this behavior was annoying, but it did not go beyond the subject.

Then I was willing to accept it.

That was all.

Break time.

It was when I came out into the hallway for a while because I had work to do.

“Oh, long time no see.”

Someone spoke in a trembling voice.

When she heard the sound, she turned her head towards where she had come from, and found Marie Lindbergh standing there dumbfounded with a flushed face, gasping for breath, as if Marie Lindbergh had come running in haste.

“Yes, long time no see.”

I smiled happily.

“How are you?”

“It’s always the same for me, Marie?”

“I’m not…”

It was Marie who hooked and hit.

“Really?”

It’s not that I don’t know why.

It’s understandable since I forcibly sent him a message that he would not return to his parents’ house and contacted me twice over a period of two months.

Okay or not, I answered calmly.

“…Did Seonghyeon miss me?”

“I missed you.”

I haven’t even used Marie Lindberg yet.

I couldn’t even use the new tool.

There’s no way I didn’t want to see it. I wanted to check the usability and performance.

Isn’t Marie Lindbergh one of the main heroines of this world?

There was no way she couldn’t help but look forward to how well she would perform.

It was true that I wanted to see it in the sense of such expectations.

“But why… didn’t you contact me properly?”

I was busy with work.

We are also expanding our business area.

Leading Oh Seong-jin as the head, the forces are growing a little more.

Check the main character’s strength and come up with a countermeasure.

Grabbing Natasha or her Sarah and robbing her of her memory, and then training to digest it.

Educate Sara, who became an idiot.

Prepare for the side of the Empire that might come looking for Sarah.

I also check what will happen in the future.

Check the plan as well.

It was an endless summer vacation.

Where is the time for leisurely communication?

Of course, I couldn’t get these words out, so I swallowed the words awkwardly.

“…”

“Can’t you answer me?”

“Yes.”

“…Why?”

Isn’t it natural to ask why?

I have no reason to tell Marie Lindbergh about my business.

What is the benefit of a tool knowing its owner’s work?

By the way, since we met for a short period of time, it seems like we found the original form more than Han Yuri or Yeon Eun-ryeong during the two-month adjustment period.

If you were in the same state as when you left the dungeon, you wouldn’t have vomited at my words.

Han Yu-ri and Yeon Eun-ryeong showed off, but in the end, they even asked about things they couldn’t even ask.

I’ll have to redo it a bit.

In a way, this wasn’t bad because it had its own characteristics, but still, a tool is a tool.

You shouldn’t put a toe on the actions of the owner.

Aside from that, you need to know how to make judgments so that you can’t act wildly in the hospital room, and you have to look natural, so there may be parts where you have to maintain the current state…

Let’s consider all of them.

Marie Lindbergh’s new concept seems to suit her unrequited love as a woman who takes out all of her liver and gallbladder.

“Even if you ask me why… there are some things you don’t want to say even between friends, right?”

That’s why I just spit it out.

“Friend… Friend…?”

At my words, Marie Lindbergh’s expression began to harden as if she had heard something strange.

It was the same expression he had when he was abandoned by Chun Yoo-seong in the dungeon.

“Yes, we are friends. Dear friend.”

Okay, I reminded you once again.

That’s not wrong in the first place.

Didn’t Marie Lindbergh tell you?

I’m just trying to stay friends.

Perhaps he was thinking that something happened because of what he did in the dungeon.

The relationship has not changed.

“So will you understand?”

“Those…What you said back then…”

“Awesome!!!”

It was around the time that Marie Lindbergh hesitated in disbelief at my attitude.

Someone came to me and took me into my arms.

A woman with impressive straight red hair.

It was Nise Akari.

I said I was going to visit you because I had something to do, but when you didn’t come, it seems like you came.

“Akari, long time no see. How have you been doing?”

“Yeah, how was Sunghyun?”

“Not bad. Rather than that, I said I was going to find it.”

“No. I brought the item I asked for earlier…”

Then, as Akari Nise started a friendly conversation with a smile on her face, she saw Marie Lindbergh’s rotting expression.

“Wait…Wait…”

“How did you do well with the magic tool that you strengthened as much as possible by adding modification to modification during summer vacation?”

“Seonghyeon…Ah my words…”

“Good job, right? Ok, did you do well? You can compliment me.”

“What you said then was sincere…We…”

“In fact, besides that, I prepared magic tools that I put my heart and soul into the new club room.”

“…”

That too for a while.

Mari tried to say something by stepping in between Akari and me, but she did it subtly every time.

Akari’s horse covered Mari’s.

Then, without her words, it was Mari who glared at Akari.

As if Akari didn’t pay attention to Mari’s appearance, she just smiled and looked at me.

‘It’s fun.’

There was nothing intentional about this case, but this composition wasn’t bad either.

Anyway, after chatting about so many things with Akari and watching Mari’s expression get darker and darker, how many minutes had passed, and the break was over.

“Let’s go.”

“Yeah, see you later!”

“Seong Hyun-ah…”

The happy Akari and the unhappy Mari saw me off.

**

Since summer vacation.

A new routine has been added to me.

It was to drop by at the hideout after the academy schedule was over.

Of course, I visited the hideout frequently, but it wasn’t regular enough to be called a routine.

Anyway, I got a routine like that.

The reason was very simple.

Because there are things to be retrieved.

“Sarah.”

Arriving at the hideout, I opened the second room from the back of the basement and called my brother’s name.

“Brother!!”

Then, as if he had been waiting for that moment, there was an existence that ran out.

A girl with impressive silver hair and red eyes.

From noble mtl dot com

It was Sarah Karjodrea.

Sara ran out and hugged me with a happy smile.

“How are you?”

“Yes.”

“Then did you finish your homework?”

“Yes, yes.”

Actually, it was a bit like being called an older brother by a being over 100 years old.

It didn’t matter whether it was a brother or a slave, as long as they could use it and eat it.

“That’s great.”

“hehehe…”

Sarah responded as if she was happy when I stroked her hair.

“Then can I take it?”

“Yes, brother.”

With the permission of the person in question, I immediately took Sara’s mana using Heart Sharing.

“Sir!!”

Then Sara turned around as if in pain.

“Are you okay? Should I stop if it hurts?”

“Ah…Ni…Brother…I’m fine…I’m fine.”

It was said that it was surprisingly enduring.

Then you can’t help but live up to those expectations.

I took more mana.

‘Not bad.’

The amount and quality of the mana that Sara sucked the blood of the Villains who were imprisoned on the hideout for a day or the blood of Ange, was both quantity and quality, and nothing was missing.

As expected, he is a genius who reached S-class even though there was no one to teach him in the early days of mana society.

“Good job.”

After a few minutes of mana absorption, I stroked Sara’s head as she fell to the ground.

“Did I…well…?”

“Of course not, so will you try harder tomorrow? This isn’t enough…”

“Yes…Brother. I’ll do it. I will… save my brother…”

“My brother will only trust Sarah.”

There’s no such thing as a disease that kills you if you don’t absorb mana, but they follow you well.

As expected, he is a good younger brother.

“Anje.”

I was stroking her in moderation, and Sarah immediately closed her eyes as if she was tired, perhaps because she had absorbed mana.

“Yes.”

Then Anzeroth entered the room, deftly tidied up the surroundings, picked up Sarah, who had fallen on the ground, and set her down on the bed furnished in the back of the room.

It was an ordinary day without anything special happening.
