Became a Dark Merchant in the Academy

69 – Conflict_2

After the long but short end-of-month evaluation.

Olivia and Ines were moving towards the cafeteria in the academy for lunch together.

Ines was impressed with Olivia’s performance at the end of the month, or somehow, after the end of the month, she was worried about her younger brother, who had a hard expression on her face.

“You have to raise it to say you cleared level 4, which the other A class kids couldn’t even dare.”

“It’s a matter of getting the top rank with this”

“Isn’t it like catching up with this older sister later and stealing the S-class title from her youngest, too?”

But when her Olivia’s expression showed no sign of loosening, no matter how many compliments she gave her, Ines paused for a moment and grabbed her Olivia’s hem with her concerned face on her face.

“Oli. Are you worried about anything?”

“No.”

“That doesn’t look good enough to let it go. She’ll listen to anything a sister can listen to, so why don’t you tell me?”

“It’s really nothing. More than that, when her older sister attends the academy…”

“Oli, really? Is it really nothing?”

To Ines’ question, Olivia tried to move on as if it was nothing, but she clung persistently to Ines’ behavior of not moving until she answered. I opened my mouth.

“…Then she is the older sister. This is a bit of a strange question, but what do you think the level of class A cadets is?”

It could just be an illusion.

She could have misunderstood herself and mistook her for her sister.

She believed he was great too, Ollie was great too, as she waved her hand at herself as if she were amazing when she saw him again. Didn’t she say the same?

That’s why she wanted to think that she was mistaken.

However, that expression was clearly etched in my mind and played back several times, so I felt uneasy.

Even though she tried, she thought it was nothing in her sister’s eyes.

She hopes that in the end she has disappointed her sister again.

She did, but she was too afraid to ask.

She couldn’t help but ask what the expression on her face meant.

From noble mtl dot com

That’s why she was Olivia in a roundabout way.

She said, to be honest, there was not that much difference between the level of her class A cadets and her level.

If she can hear the evaluation of their level, she will also be able to hear the evaluation of herself directly or indirectly.

When I asked that question, Ines thought for a moment before opening her mouth.

She was Olivia who was more nervous than when she was taking the end of the month evaluation.

“Other class A cadets? Um… isn’t it pathetic?”

She was and she could hear her true heart. She

What she wanted to deny has become a reality.

Ines said that as if he had no interest in class A cadets, as if they were worthless.

“…”

“At the time of me, you would have heard that it was a grade suitable for an intermediate rank, right? Lately, I’ve heard that Laplace Academy’s level has gone downhill, but I think that’s true. Well, I did see a few standout kids, but anyway, it’s there. Oh, Ollie is different, but should I say that she is my younger brother?

That’s why I knew.

She said that her sister was lying.

The more the words continued, the more she could see how many of them were directly or indirectly heard when her sister lied.

Because she is an older sister who doesn’t lie and acts straightforwardly in her expression, tone of voice, and usually, it was a look that caught my eye.

‘I knew.’

Of course.

It’s so obvious.

My sister’s evaluation standard is based on herself.

No matter what the 4 steps were, they wouldn’t have caught my eye.

She said that when her older sister was in first grade, she only passed level 6. At that time, it was because it was the maximum level she could challenge. Will be.

From the standpoint of such an older sister, it was only natural that she couldn’t understand why she couldn’t use her strength at that stage.

This is not malicious evaluation with other intentions.

She’s an older sister, she’s capable of anything ever since she was young, she’s never failed, so she just took it for granted.

Olivia knows that well.

“Oli?”

Because I knew it all too well.

“Are you okay?”

I tried.

Because I hoped that such a great older sister would praise herself from the bottom of her heart someday.

Because she is a proud older sister.

She wanted to be proven that she could stand side by side with her heart and not lies.

“Why? Olly…”

But it was impossible.

Even if she made good results by adding effort to her efforts, it seemed that she could not meet her sister’s standards.

That was very painful for Olivia.

She thought that even though she had grown this far by adding effort after effort since that day, she was nothing to her sister in the end.

She couldn’t look up at her sister.

So Olivia ran away.

“Oli!!?”

Unable to understand the series of circumstances, Ines couldn’t catch Olivia as she ran away and just stared at her blankly.

**

“Really?”

“I really wanted to be recognized by her sister this time…”

A shelter in the middle of the promenade located on the outskirts of the academy.

Olivia talked about what had happened earlier with an expression as if she would cry if he touched her.

Perhaps because of that, her usual, knowledgeable and cramped way of speaking was relaxed a little, revealing a variety of expressions that could not be seen.

I pulled Olivia into a small seat.

Then, although she would normally have refused, she was Olivia who was obediently dragged along and sniffed in her arms.

“It’s okay.”

Pat.

There was something similar in the original.

Perhaps misunderstandings arise due to different standards of thinking, and conflicts arise. Chun Yoo-seong plays an active part and finds out that they care for each other, and their efforts are recognized. It must have been an episode in which he was recognized as a good guy and not bad to Ines.

‘Not bad.’

I remembered it because it was an episode that I could use and eat.

The incident of Astra’s attack on Isia that will happen soon.

In other words, the perfect hand to use in conjunction with the Laplace Academy Villain Invasion is now in hand.

That’s why I activated a set of 3 skills.

Because I decided that now was the right time.

Unidentified, distorting cognition and perception.

It’s a dog’s lungs, changing memories.

Remind me that there is no difference between truth and lies.

If you didn’t know each other, things that wouldn’t have worked if you hadn’t built a relationship up until now.

Now that I was weak and defenseless in the state where I had taken the medicine in advance, the skill worked so easily.

The effect was outstanding.

She seemed to rebel for a moment, but then Olivia’s eyes went blank.

“I know you work harder than anyone else.”

“Seonghyun…”

“Yes, you are working harder than anyone else. It is so sad that you are not recognized.”

“It’s because I’m lacking. If only I had a little more talent…”

“It’s okay. Are you okay. You are not bad.”

I know.

No one is bad.

It’s just a misunderstanding.

Very little misunderstanding.

Usually, it could easily be filled with just one word.

“It’s the bad thing, Mr. Innes, doesn’t he make you suffer like this?”

“I’m trying hard enough to die, but they don’t recognize me, right?”

“Actually, Ms. Ines might have been laughing at her ugly little brother? Could it be that she wanted to treat herself like a doll? Couldn’t she have been looking at it as an adornment to show off herself? Couldn’t she have been paying no attention to your efforts from the start?”

I stretched out my hand in that misunderstanding.

And I was forced to increase the size.

This is what I was saying, but it also represents Olivia’s inner feelings.

No, from now on, this will be Olivia’s innermost heart.

A mess of words that don’t fit.

However, it is entangled with the truth and twisted and distorted.

There is no truth here.

There is no room for the truth to penetrate.

All lies but truth.

From now on, this is the truth.

“…No.”

Olivia shook her head slightly.

Now, he must be at the point where he doesn’t even know who’s talking, but he instinctively seems to be denying it.

But I don’t intend to miss it.

I never miss the prey I decided to catch.

“Olivia should you believe me?”

On this day, activate the keywords you have been planting for about a month.

“No…”

Still, I could see Olivia resisting.

“No…”

I stretched out my hand and opened my mouth.

Seeing how she resisted under such unfavorable conditions, I wondered if she deserves to be called a heroine.

“Really? Then, would you like to try an experiment?”

That’s why I make a suggestion.

Originally, human beings should do what they choose, but they say that they are hardworking animals.

Then he’ll make you think he’s chosen.

“…An experiment?”

“Yes Experiment, if Ines-san didn’t see you as an ugly little brother, if he wasn’t treating you as a doll and ornament, if he was looking at your hard work properly, he wouldn’t deny what you’ve achieved.”

I heard someone’s voice in the distance.

That’s why I put it in the depths.

It is not yet the time.

But it wasn’t far off.

“For example, a precious friendship created through your efforts.”

“Oli!!!”

As soon as I finished my words, a small figure fell from the sky to the ground with a bang.

Perhaps because of that, the ground turned upside down and the dust rolled around, obscuring my vision.

But it wasn’t like I didn’t know who it was.

There was only one person who could appear at this time.

It was Ines.
