Became a Dark Merchant in the Academy

71 – Trap_1

Isn’t something strange these days?

This is one of the words Kim Woo-joong, a detective with 15 years of experience, often thinks about.

At times like that, people who work in the same department would ask me what was wrong.

Kim Woo-joong’s answer was always the same.

It was ‘Isn’t the fort so peaceful?’.

Being peaceful doesn’t mean it’s bad.

If I had to choose one of the two choices of bad or good, I would choose good unconditionally.

But this was so strange.

He must be too. It was so peaceful for 5-6 months.

Of course, it’s not that it was very carefree, but there was an incident of police station terrorism by an unknown villain organization in the middle.

However, the damage suffered by it was that members of the villain organization came in, committed suicide for unknown reasons, and the funds of one villain organization escaped, and the damage on this side was only a few minor injuries.

Although there was a problem of prestige, it was not a big deal compared to the terrorism committed by the villains in other cities.

Other than that, there has been no incident so far.

Aside from the usual simple car accident and complaints about hearing screams from somewhere or seeing bloodstains in the middle of the night and then disappearing, it’s been a very peaceful half year as if all the villains had completely evaporated.

The atmosphere is markedly different from half a year ago, when there were usually two or three accidents a week.

That’s why Kim Woo-joong complained of his anxiety.

Isn’t it a sign that something big is about to happen in an unknown place?

Isn’t it good for colleagues and juniors to be peaceful while watching Kim Woo-jung?

I used to soothe Kim Woo-joong’s anxiety by saying that he worked so hard that he felt like peace was unfamiliar to him.

‘Is that so?’

After listening to it several times, it seems like that.

It is normal to change day and night, and working undercover is frequent, so it seems that it is because I am rather anxious and unfamiliar with peacefulness when there is no work.

Is this a workaholic…

‘That’s right. So don’t worry about seniors and take a break when you can. Work is something you never know when you’ll get busy, right?’

‘I’m still anxious…’

‘Because the child is fine.’

‘Use it.’

‘Eh… If you’re really anxious, let’s take a walk and go patrol together.’

Kim Woo-jung nodded.

Then it would be better.

In the first place, it didn’t suit my temper to sit around and touch only my cell phone.

That’s how Kim Woo-jung and his junior went on patrol.

‘As expected, there is nothing.’

How long has it been since you went on patrol?

When I entered the final course, the direction of Laplace Academy, my juniors complained about bullying.

It’s good if you don’t have it.

You complained to a senior like the sky

‘Ahh!’

I gave him a slight slap on the back of the head, and he reacted violently.

‘Why are you hitting me?’

‘The car shakes. Drive straight.’

‘…Eh, I was a senior. I’m showing you the hell.’

The grumbling guy again.

It was around the time I was contemplating whether or not to slap him in the back of the head.

Something popped out in front of the patrol car.

‘Yaya, stop!!!’

‘I’m pressing it with all my strength!!!’

I tried to urge my junior to stop, but was it because it was too late to find it or because the distance was too close, something collided with the patrol car.

Kim Woo-jung closed his eyes tightly and hurriedly raised a handful of mana to protect his body.

‘…Huh?’

And how much time had passed.

Kim Woo-joong sensed something strange.

I must have bumped into something.

From noble mtl dot com

No shock was transmitted.

On the contrary, it seemed as if the wind was coming in from somewhere.

He opened his closed eyes.

Kim Woo-jung was in the sky.

To be precise, only the ‘neck’ was in the sky.

I couldn’t quite understand what had happened.

Why does he say that he is in the sky and only his neck is suspended in the air like this?

But before I had time to understand why this happened, the floating neck descended to the ground due to gravity and eventually reached the ground.

‘Ah…’

And then he saw something even more incomprehensible in his blackened vision.

An unidentified man, a katana, a patrol car in pieces, a walkie-talkie that fell to the floor and faded, and the neck of a junior who had been complaining until recently.

[Emergency support, unidentified villains at Laplace Academy…]

That was Kim Woo-jung’s last memory.

I checked my condition before hunting.

The significantly increased stats and skills compared to when he first possessed stood out.

Of course, it was an absurdly insufficient number to deal with Ines, who was S-ranked at this level, but there is no doubt that it was encouraging that he had become this strong in less than a year after entering Class K.

‘Not bad.’

That’s exactly what it says.

Not bad.

With this level of ability, even excluding skills, it was enough to safely graduate from the academy.

But it was also an absurdly low number to get to what I was hoping for.

Then you should raise this figure.

There was only one possible way now.

It was to distribute all the remaining points that had been saved so far in case of an emergency.

So I invested all my remaining points into agility.

[Agility: 38 -＞ 123]

Then I felt my body lighten.

When I played around with my body moderately, the speed that I couldn’t achieve before came out so easily.

‘Emm…’

By the way, the number jumped more than three times compared to before, but it didn’t seem to be that efficient.

‘Doesn’t matter?’

Obviously, it could have been split and invested, but this time it was correct.

For this hunt, I was both the hunter and the bait.

Anyway, this is the end of the preparation.

I bought the things I could buy at the secret shop over the course of a month and set them up as traps, so I didn’t have the means to prepare anything anymore.

All you have to do now is wait for the event to happen and lure your prey into a trap.

Just in time, a very good bait came into my hands.

I turned my head to look at Olivia, who was dozing on me.

It was Olivia who fell asleep after taking her medicine after coming to me to ask for advice on how to reconcile a quarrel with her sister over a misunderstanding.

It was funny to see him sleeping without knowing what was going to happen from now on, and on the other hand, it was to the point of feeling sorry for him.

I gently stroked Olivia’s hair.

She must have felt that warmth. Olivia made a small noise and clung to me even more.

“Ugh…”

“…”

That too for a while.

– Boom!!

A roar rang from the academy in the distance.

It seemed that the long-awaited event had begun.

Then there was no time to delay.

“Sarah.”

“Yes. Brother.”

That’s why I summoned Sara, who was in my shadow.

“Please.”

And ordered Olivia to be brought to her designated location.

“Yes.”

With Sara’s answer, Olivia began to sink her body into a clot of blood and eventually disappeared without leaving a single speck of dust behind, as if her presence here had been a lie.

I activated the skill and put on the mask and black robe I had prepared.

And then, very, very slowly, I moved to the epicenter of the commotion.

“This, you did it very splendidly.”

In this way, we were able to arrive at the center of the event.

There, Cheon Yoo-seong, who is wounded and breathing heavily, isia, who is concentrating mana so that the seal inside her body will not be broken, and Ines, who looks annoyed, and three villains who have become minced meat lying below them. I saw Baek Seol-ha and the professors who were wary of my sudden appearance.

“Who are you…?”

Sulha Baek asked.

Didn’t any of the villains say that if you ask a question, it’s human nature to answer?

That’s why I answered.

“I have come to retrieve Astra’s Number 12. My comrades.”
