Became a Dark Merchant in the Academy

Chapter 63

63 – Advice_3

“If you admit that it was a fabrication even now, the bet may not be made.”

Olivia stared at me in front of the simulation control panel as if this was her last chance.

It seems that they still have distrust in my record setting.

Well, since I haven’t seen it, it’s understandable, but I think it’s normal to realize that something is wrong when you see that you’ve come so confidently.

‘No.’

I can guess why I can’t understand.

Olivia had her own pride of second place, but it seemed like she didn’t want to believe that I, who was the lowest in class and didn’t even care about the top, Isia, or another A cadet, cleared the 4th stage with an overwhelming score.

And that mistake was the kind that anyone could make.

That’s also the case, the guy who got 10 to 20 points until the other day said it was a mock evaluation, but if he suddenly got 100 points, he thinks he cheated or cheated on the evaluation. Aren’t few people doing it?

So Olivia was not wrong.

Just.

In this case, the wrong was right.

“Why are you not talking? Now is the last chance to speak.”

Let’s pause for a while to see if it was accepted as something I was trying to admit I had fabricated.

It was Olivia with a small smile on her lips and an expression of yes.

‘It’s cute.’

“No, I was thinking about what to order if you absolutely obey my words for a week.”

Of course, because of someone stalking her sister behind her back, she can’t really touch her, but this is what Olivia agreed to, so she’ll tolerate that up to a certain point. .

“…Let me begin.”

Olivia immediately pressed the simulation start button as if she got a fever when I was teased like that.

Amidst the cadets standing on one side of the simulation room, Han Yu-ri and Yeon Eun-ryeong looked at me with anxious eyes.

Olivia’s chatter in her classroom earlier had spread rumors about what should have been done quietly.

She hated being a monkey in a zoo, but there was nothing wrong with having a notary.

There’s no way that Olivia will run away, but she has a “What if”.

“Seong Hyun-ah…”

“Seonghyeon.”

“It’s okay, I’ll finish it quickly.”

I told Han Yu-ri and Yeon Eun-ryeong not to worry, but it seems like I can’t help but worry.

As an owner, I needed to calm down my anxiety about tools.

That’s why I waved my hand appropriately and made an okay gesture.

And when I looked straight ahead, a basilisk replica was starting to form.

“Kyaaa!!!”

I thought about it before, but I wanted that screaming to be removed.

Where else is such an unbalanced sound that is weaker than the original?

Anyway, as soon as the creation of the Basilisk Replica was complete, it seemed to recognize me as an enemy and started running towards it with a scream.

First of all, since I’m known as a martial artist, the audience can’t show off my technique of pulling out bloody spears like before.

I didn’t have only one number, so there was no problem.

My score should drop a bit, but let’s say that I was nervous.

I matched Natasha’s memories and senses while attracting Ange’s superpowers through heart sharing.

“What…”

“That’s Class K? I’ll believe it even if it’s class A.”

“Who is that?”

“That’s-“

At the buzz of the cadets, Olivia stared at Seonghyun Lee, who was still simulating.

That’s literally it.

It was amazing.

When the first simulation started and the basilisk rushed at him, he seemed to be frightened at the unmoving appearance, but as if he knew from the beginning where the basilisk’s attack would rush, he evaded it with a very slight movement.

I thought it was a coincidence, but it didn’t take long to realize that it wasn’t a coincidence as the action continued.

After that, he continued to dodge the Basilisk’s attacks as if water were flowing, and with the exact point and timing, he attacked the area set as the Basilisk’s vital point with his sword and killed one Basilisk at once.

Ten extra minutes.

Olivia effortlessly defeated the combined attack of 5 basilisks, which she couldn’t overcome, and completely cleared the rest of the phases. He was smiling at himself announcing the end of the simulation.

‘Ah…’

That’s why Olivia shuddered.

That action, that judgment.

There was what she was hoping for.

He couldn’t use amazing magic like anyone else, because he didn’t have overwhelming talent, overflowing mana, or super senses he had since birth.

Olivia saw it.

Measuring the distance from the basilisk and reading the pattern like a machine, showing the minimum movement at the correct timing to bring out the maximum efficiency.

That movement was something that could never be achieved with one or two efforts.

There must have been dozens of hundreds of efforts.

You must have put more effort into figuring out the pattern and working hard to learn it.

Someone barely simulated.

They say it’s the kind used for exams, but they say it’s different in reality.

Although it is a simulation.

Because it’s a simulation.

Olivia could guess how hard Lee Seong-hyun had put in to get there.

It was clear that it was an effort close to madness.

That’s why I was curious.

It is said that beings who want to reach themselves work hard, but I was very curious about why Lee Seong-hyun made such an effort that was close to madness.

Even if simulation was one of the test items, there was no way that such an effort would have been made for such a simple reason.

It was clear that there must be a reason similar to yours.

Then I wanted to hear that story.

And I wanted to ask how I could do that.

I wanted to know how it didn’t break with such a crude movement without flashy technique or outstanding skills.

If only I could hear it, if I could only know it, I felt certain, not certain, that I could break the wall in front of me right now.

Of course, if time passes, you will be able to break it yourself.

If you increase the amount of mana and learn new skills.

You can definitely break it.

But that wasn’t the case now.

“Looks like the bet is my win.”

Lee Seong-hyun, who approached me before I knew it, said.

That’s right.

The bet is your own defeat.

The eyes you see and your own eyes prove it.

“…”

He knew that, but he couldn’t get his mouth shut.

If you admit defeat here, it was because your efforts were nothing and it was hard to accept that Lee Seong-hyun’s efforts were real efforts.

I know.

That this is stubbornness, egotism, and that the loser is running away.

Still.

‘How do you… how…’

“I can’t believe it, but you don’t want to admit it?”

“No.”

“Then won’t you tell me? The outcome of the bet.”

“…My defeat.”

But he can’t stay away forever.

Olivia forced her mouth open to keep her from falling and admitted her defeat small.

“Then you must be well aware of the bet, right?”

Lee Seong-hyun smiled meaningfully and said.

I know.

Absolutely obey what Lee Seong-hyun says for a week.

If he knew it was going to be like this, he had a sudden thought that he shouldn’t have done it, but he can’t contain spilled water.

From noble mtl dot com

However, absolute obedience was difficult.

I don’t mean to say one word.

But men of that age… Don’t they pay explosive attention to things like that?

Lee Seong-hyun didn’t say that he would do such a thing, but Olivia was worried.

So, she opened her mouth and muttered softly.

“But… That, that kind of thing can’t happen.”

“That kind of thing?”

“Hey, something dirty.”

Then Lee Seong-hyun looked at Olivia as if he was dumbfounded.

At that, Olivia lowered her head as her face turned red.

It was because he realized how stupid he sounded.

Like it or not, Lee Seong-hyun opened his mouth and gave an order.

“Ha, well, you admitted it too. First order, then. Olivia loudly admit her defeat.”

I couldn’t.

‘It’s fortunate.’

One side of the simulation room.

Among the crowd of cadets, Marie Lindbergh sighed in relief as she looked at the results of Seonghyun Lee’s simulation.

How surprised were you when you suddenly heard that Seonghyun Lee and Olivia were making a bet on dropping out?

So she was startled and ran to the simulation room to try to stop the two of them.

However, the simulation had already started a long time ago and she had no choice but to watch.

I know that Lee Seong-hyun has excellent skills that are not like K class.

Even when he was trapped in the labyrinth, he had seen that skill several times.

But most of them were just running away or hiding, so there was no reason not to be worried.

The simulation is weaker than the prototype and the pattern is consistent, so it’s easy, but if it was that easy in the first place, there’s no way that Class A couldn’t have cleared it.

The fourth step is to be strong enough.

A kind of wall.

So just in case Lee Seong-hyun lost the bet, he himself intervened and tried to mediate between Olivia and Lee Seong-hyun.

Olivia knows herself and her. She

She has a special relationship with Lee Seong-hyun.

But the result was as you can see.

Lee Seong-hyun perfectly cleared the 4th stage.

‘Seong Hyun-ah.’

I call out his name in my mind.

But I can’t reach it.

I want to approach you and congratulate you, but what you did before really bothered me.

I don’t know why, but that act of rejecting Lee Seong-hyun and choosing Cheon Yoo-seong.
