Became a Dark Merchant in the Academy

76 – Special) A story that could have happened_1

Clouds were covering the moon.

The outskirts of the city where there is hardly any light.

I caught my breath on the materials left in the abandoned building and took out my phone to check the notification that came earlier.

[You have failed the Laplace Academy.]

I wonder if this is the case.

How well would you do if you had to go through an academy interview without knowing anything?

I don’t know if there was even a chance for a supporting role with a name, but I’m an extra that wasn’t even mentioned in the original novel.

The ending was so obvious.

‘I expected this possibility, but…’

How nice would it be if you passed the exam?

‘It can’t be helped.’

There is no place to return to anymore.

An outsider in this world.

That’s me.

If you entered the academy, you would design your future in the way you envisioned, but now you can’t use that method, so you should discard the use and continue your life outside.

The night wind is cold.

The sweat I used to shed to dissipate the heat now felt like a splash of cold water.

My head went cold.

‘—I believe in you.’

The answer was fixed.

**

I woke up from a nap and felt a faint headache.

That made me feel uncomfortable, but it wasn’t to the point where I couldn’t stand it, so I pulled the blanket up again and went to sleep.

But I couldn’t sleep.

The reason was very simple.

Because someone disturbed my sleep.

It was exquisite timing, as if he knew he was about to go back to sleep and interrupted it.

“Boss, can I come in for a moment?”

A thick male voice was heard along with a thumping knock.

‘Who was it…’

It was a voice so uncharacteristic that I had no idea who it was.

I feel like I should at least look at his face.

It’s not like you’re memorizing who’s who just because you see a face, it’s highly likely that you don’t know, but if it’s enough to report to me, wouldn’t you still remember it?

If you still don’t know, I’ll just put it away.

‘Maybe it’s good.’

After thinking about that, I got up, sat down on the bed, and opened my mouth.

“Come in.”

Then the door opened and a man entered the room.

“I am so sorry. Are you getting a good night’s sleep…”

A tough-looking man in a black suit with a sturdy physique checked my appearance as soon as I entered the room.

Looks like a sinner praying for a mistake.

I moderately shook my hand and dissuaded him from doing so.

When I saw the face, I remembered who it was.

He was the guy who had been working with me since the beginning.

The so-called right-hand man.

In an organization less than half a year old, it was also ambiguous to argue about such things, but there is an order.

“Okay. What’s more than that?”

Still, unconditional forgiveness is unreasonable.

How many days did this fall asleep?

If it wasn’t a useful story, it was right to use your right arm moderately before purging it.

Besides that guy, there are plenty of right arms.

It’s enough to replace it properly.

As I thought about it and looked around, the man began to tremble even more.

I want to feel something in my eyes.

‘I should just get rid of it.’

That’s right.

I gently raised my right hand.

“Bo, boss… Please…”

Then the man fell to the floor and began to pray.

“Please save me. Please live-“

-Kwajik!

Her man’s head congealed and exploded.

Unpleasant bloodstains splattered everywhere.

“Take it away.”

So she called the guys who were waiting outside the door and ordered them to clean up.

She started to hear what the guy was trying to see and she called the other guy earlier.

“Ah, ah… Bo, I’ll report back. The B-1 anomaly you mentioned earlier was witnessed.”

She looked at the scene in the newly called room, and she trembled and raised her voice.

“B-1… Oh that. You mean that?”

Is that time already?

Half a year has already passed since I was possessed in a world like this.

I was at a loss when I failed the academy that I had initially planned for.

Isn’t it said that God only gives you trials you can handle?

I want to know why people say that everything depends on how they make up their mind.

“Oh, what should I do?”

The man asked cautiously.

“Find it.”

I smiled.

Now I feel like I can see the way out little by little.

“And tell me as soon as you find it.”

Because it’s mine.

**

How much did you suffer after being possessed by this world?

No matter how much this place has the name of Korea, it is not the Republic of Korea where I lived.

Saying yes was no different from saying that my general understanding of social norms and culture was not the same.

Of course, since this world has the name of Korea, there were some parts that matched what I knew to some extent, but even so, there were definitely different parts.

To put it simply, it is like being abandoned in a foreign country where only words are communicated and fantasy is added.

There, I was even in debt to an orphan who had nothing.

It would have been less if I had passed the academy and was able to use the original work, but it is only natural that what I can do in such a situation is limited.

From noble mtl dot com

I have become a body that has to slowly get used to the world like a newborn baby, so how can I not go through hardships?

Of course I have no choice but to do it.

So I had a hard time.

I did a little bit of illegal things because the things I could do were limited and I didn’t get results as much as I did.

That’s the same as a good white-collar trick, so you don’t have to worry too much about it.

How much effort did you put into it?

Or should I say that the power of the status window and skills were amazing?

Or should I say it’s thanks to the hero’s success in stealing a number of hidden pieces to be obtained from outside.

I succeeded in repaying my debt, and I got a few amputee.

I have succeeded in establishing a satisfactory living environment.

It was a much better situation than when I first possessed the other world.

But.

‘Not enough.’

This wasn’t enough.

This wasn’t enough.

This alone was not enough to achieve what I wanted.

That’s why.

“I have arrived.”

A man in a black suit said as he opened the car door.

When I got out of the car, dozens of men in black suits were standing in two lines and making passages from the car to the entrance of a fairly large abandoned building.

“Wait.”

“Okay.”

I took a quick look at it, ordered the men to wait, and entered the building.

Then I went up the stairs installed inside to the sixth floor, the last floor.

I saw a wide empty room full of darkness.

In the depths of the empty room, blood-red eyes glittered.

“Is it you? Who is the owner of the bastards who were after the original woman?”

A graceful voice.

An unbelievable voice resounded that it was the voice of an old woman over 100 years old.

At the same time, with the sound of the clicking shoes, a girl with long silver hair that reached her waist, eyes like red rubies, and a white dress, appeared.

It was a familiar existence.

Natasha Karjodrea.

She was the fallen vampire queen.

“It’s bastards… you’re talking harshly.”

“I asked if it was right.”

“Yes, that is correct.”

“Really? You mean that?”

Natasha sighed and frowned.

Then she manipulated mana and made dozens of spears with her blood to threaten me.

“Why is that? Awfully.”

Okay or not, I calmly opened my mouth.

Because I knew Natasha’s actions would not do me any harm.

“Why? Didn’t you know better?”

“Yes, but I am not here to be hostile.”

That’s literally it.

I have no intention of being hostile.

Because there is nothing to gain from me if I try to be hostile here and now.

Natasha, whether she knew my true feelings or not, began to bring her bloody spear closer to me, frowning her face even more.

“You’re not here to be hostile? Like a rat, after her mother-in-law?”

“I am sorry for my actions that may cause misunderstandings. But really, I’m not here to be hostile. If they were hostile, I could have killed them right away instead of continuing the conversation like this.”

After she finished talking, I lifted up Natasha from behind her back, and Natasha, startled by that, pulled herself behind her.

And the appearance of clearly taking a look.

It seemed that one move using the skill worked well.

It’s better to leave misunderstandings alone, so I continued with a relaxed expression.

“Or else you could have told the Four Empires over there about where you are, or you could have reported it to the heroes of this country.”

“You bastard…”

“Ah, if you’re going to ask me if I know who I am, yes, I do. Natasha Karjodrea.”

“…”

“Ah, the story is a bit derailed. Anyway, I have no intention of antagonizing you. Rather, I want to maintain a friendly relationship.”

I was talking with my heart, but there was no sign that Natasha’s expression would improve.

Of course, I would have reacted similarly in this situation, but it wasn’t polite to have that kind of expression while talking to someone.

Still, since he wasn’t running away, he seemed willing to listen, so I calmly continued.

“So I’m here to suggest you one.”

“…What was it?”

“Would you like to sign a ‘contract’ with me? Then we will help you achieve your long-cherished goal.”

[Contract Lv.57 Is activated.]

[The contract is absolute.]

I smiled and held out my hand.
