Became a Dark Merchant in the Academy - Chapter 261



260 – Kyoto Samgul_13

It’s easy to destroy someone’s goodwill.

Just show them what you don’t like.

In Elizabeth’s case, it was a comment on her appearance.

Since she was young, her friends and family have rejected and disapproved of her because of her ugly appearance. As a result, Elizabeth has been traumatized by her appearance and reacts strongly to anyone making comments about her appearance.

Also, because of that, he used light magic and illusion magic to hide his appearance.

‘It’s funny how you don’t even walk around looking beautiful despite all that.’

Of course, if you properly coordinate light magic and illusion magic, you can become more beautiful than anyone else.

Although it was better than the original, it was Elizabeth who deliberately made it look shabby.

In addition, he was active in a lower status than his original one.

A prince who is somewhere.

It was to find someone who would love me on the inside, not the outside.

It was a defense mechanism and a twisted narcissism that I built up because I had been rejected so many times.

For example, a fat person realizes that he is fat and goes on a diet, but he thinks that he tried hard but the fat doesn’t go away, so he breaks the scale and decides that this is the root of all evil and says, “I’m happy to be fat.”

The world is wrong, I deserve more respect, I am pretty.

It was similar to rationalizing oneself in that way.

Anyway, the only way to destroy Elizabeth’s affection for Lee Seong-hyeon was to insult her appearance in front of her.

No matter how much I think about it, I’m ugly. Then shouldn’t I at least have some ability?

But why can’t I give something to someone like that?

That’s why my older sister looks like that.

Something like this.

‘I can’t go that far, though.’

If you say those words out loud, unlike before, you will get an immediate reaction.

In my experience, there were times when seniors would interfere and ruin things, and other times, S-class people would capture the subtle flow of mana being used for transformation.

‘You’re not Seonghyeon, are you?’

There were also cases where people reacted like this.

If that happens, it will only end up doing good things for the senior, so it would be rude to touch him directly.

So the correct number here was to show it step by step and indirectly.

Don’t they say that even a stone bridge should be knocked on, and the more urgent it is, the more you should go back?

Then, the disturbance could be covered up to some extent, Elizabeth’s provocative behavior could be stopped, and one question could be left in her mind.

Yukina, who had transformed into Lee Seong-hyeon, looked at Elizabeth, who raised her head in surprise.

“What a coincidence, sis. I guess you finished work early today?”

“Oh, yeah. I just happened to notice it.”

“Really? Then do you have time next time?”

“Yes, it does work. But more than that, earlier…”

“More than that?”

“Ah… no, it’s okay. It’s nothing.”

Elizabeth looked like she wanted to ask something, but the breath that had risen to the tip of her throat never left her mouth and the air sank back into her lungs.

Yukina snickered.

“Is that so? You said you would have time later than that?”

“Yeah, that’s true. But why?”

“Oh, this isn’t much of a big deal. Sister, could you follow me for a moment?”

“Follow me?”

“I’ll tell you why if you follow me.”

Then he grabbed Elizabeth’s hand and led her away.

“Now, wait… where are you going?”

“that…”

“that?”

“It’s a secret.”

Just as Yukina looks at me, I also look at Yukina.

If you look at it that way, it seems like they know each other through and through.

What I saw and what Yukina saw were slightly different, even though they were seeing using the same ability.

Unlike Yukina, I didn’t see it directly.

What I mean is, because of the nature of her skill, Yukina has no choice but to look at me directly, but I leave it to my subordinates, Cheon-Gyeon and Cheon-Eum.

What this means is that the absolute viewing time is different.

Even though Yukina has many abilities and no matter how outstanding her abilities are, she is still a living being and a human, so she cannot monitor me 24 hours a day.

As humans, shouldn’t we sleep and do basic things?

You can survive without sleep for a day or two, but you can’t do that for 10 days or 100 days.

Also, although Cheonryan Light is said to be an ability that consumes little mana, if you use it for a long time, the accumulated amount is enormous. Can you handle it all by yourself?

If you had that ability, you wouldn’t have had to sign a contract with me in the first place.

However, on the other hand, there is no need for the subordinates, Cheon-Gyeon and Cheon-Eum.

Although the subordinates were not non-living creatures, they needed rest, but if they could replenish their blood, they could perform much better than humans, and when it rained, all I had to do was watch over them.

Also, the amount of mana used for the ability was something that Yukina could handle alone, but for me, the difference in the amount was enormous due to my numerous followers and the blood I had accumulated.

So, Yukina said that there was time for rain.

I was told that I hardly have any time to rain.

Of course, if Yukina had the ability to create a retinue, the story would be a little different.

‘No matter how good the replication is, it seems like it would be impossible.’

It is not my ability to create a following.

This power comes from Sarah being the queen of vampires.

A unique power that cannot be shared through skills or heart sharing.

That’s why I took Sarah with me.

The original family belongs to Sarah, and I am merely using it on behalf of her.

Anyway, Yukina’s mobility without any subordinates is at most 70~80%, but my mobility rate is 99.999%.

In other words, the gap was wide enough to be exploited.

However, even with such advantages, I have not been able to use them until now.

The reason was that the numerous regressions Yukina had experienced were filling in the gaps in the operating rate by hitting key points or getting one step ahead.

But Yukina also couldn’t come forward because she knew the difference in operating rates.

[This is a place I wanted to come with my older sister someday.]

[Oh, I’m sorry, Sister. I didn’t know and didn’t bring my wallet with me, but I’ll pay you back later…]

[You don’t have to do that? No, I will definitely pay you back. If you have more time, would you like to watch a movie?]

[You didn’t have any money? Oh, I did… But there was something I really wanted to see with my sister…]

[Well, I can watch it later, but I want to spend more time with you. Oh, what movie is it? You know? Mecha Dinosaur – Stop Destruction, Summon the Meteor, Yucatan Peninsula Final… Didn’t you see it? No way. Hey, no way, I didn’t watch it with anyone because I wanted to watch it with you.]

The conclusion I’ve reached from observing Yukina so far is that she has no choice but to step forward indirectly like that.

‘I’m not sure, though.’

Since he is a regressor who has gone through countless regressions, it could be a trick to deceive me, or he could have a hidden secret.

But even aside from those, it was right to test the stone bridge before walking.

By the way, the way he secretly built up antipathy was dark.

Not only did I intentionally postpone paying for the food, but I was also making good use of the scenes I showed to appease Akari and provoke Elizabeth.

[Oh, I’ll go to the bathroom for a bit.]

And then, just as her suspicions and doubts grew, she left her unlocked cell phone behind, making Elizabeth, who was curious, check the information herself.

‘Not bad.’

Although it was dark, judging from the directing and angle, he knew how to handle a woman like Elizabeth.

If things continued this way, it was clear that my favorability rating within Elizabeth would plummet, if not hit rock bottom.

As long as you don’t get interrupted.

Of course, if you try to interfere, Yukina, who is closely monitoring my situation, will notice right away.

In other words, that meant that as long as I didn’t interfere, that would be the end of it.

‘Let’s see how prepared we are.’

It was time to find out the information for myself.

-Get started.

He gives an order to one of his subordinates who has been waiting in advance.

Then, Elizabeth’s phone rang as she was blankly staring at Yukina’s phone with a shocked look on her face.

**

When I came back from the bathroom, Elizabeth had a serious expression on her face.

I thought it might be because I couldn’t hold back my curiosity and checked the contents of the cell phone I had left behind.

“Seonghyun.”

A low voice, different from before.

Even though she knew the reason, Yukina naturally looked puzzled.

“Yes, sister.”

“Can I ask you a question?”

“Question?”

“Yeah, question.”

“Yes, go ahead. What’s the matter?”

From what I’ve seen, the senior hasn’t moved yet.

Of course, you could have moved someone else like in the previous episodes without moving yourself, and made them think this was fake.

They were also assumed, so after making several preparations, Ishihara Yukina tried to answer Elizabeth’s question.

but.

“Joe, is it true that you said you’d get married after graduation?”

“…yes?”

This was beyond Yukina’s expectations.
