Became a Dark Merchant in the Academy - Chapter 266



265 – Tailbiting_1

Dealing with Taylor Marvel is easy.

It was simply because my power was superior to his.

To be exact, the abnormal status magic he boasted about could be covered by the Paladin’s abilities.

Moreover, since they were off guard, they could have taken the initiative by making a surprise attack using teleportation and Sarah’s abilities.

Well, even if the surprise attack is successful, it would be impossible to take his life right away since he is an S-class hero who is neither lower-ranking nor higher than mid-ranking.

‘I guess I can take at least an arm or a leg.’

His own organs were excluded, and one of his limbs was missing.

In that situation, it was safe to say that there was almost no way to beat an opponent whose skill level was similar to yours, or even superior to yours.

‘I won’t do it though.’

But I didn’t move.

This is the Laplace Academy student council room.

If you look at the news or newspaper articles, it says that Taylor Marvell never told anyone about his whereabouts.

South Korea has a ton of surveillance cameras installed, and the chances of not encountering a single person on the way there are close to zero.

That is, if he got involved in something, I would be the number one suspect no matter who defended him.

To put it simply, it was because the aftershock was annoying.

‘That doesn’t mean I’m going to miss out on my prey, though.’

The aftermath is annoying, it’s annoying.

But that was no reason to miss out on the food that was in my mouth.

It’s just a story about how to handle things carefully, considering the time and place.

‘Then the location would be better on the Donggun Alliance side.’

That seemed like a good idea.

My relationship with Tachibana ended there, and there seemed to be nothing better to do when moving on to the main part of the plan.

So-called killing two birds with one stone.

So the actions I had to take were to be vigilant and act like a model student.

I knew who it was, but it was our first meeting.

“Who, who are you? Do you know that this is the Laplace Academy student council room…”

I stood up from my seat and frowned at Taylor Mabille.

“Hmm, you’re handsome.”

Anyway, Taylor Marvell approached me, took off his sunglasses, and studied me.

“Not as good as me though.”

“yes?”

“Hahaha, no. Don’t worry about it. You’re handsome enough. Just not as handsome as me.”

“Ha… yes…”

Then he slapped my shoulder and laughed heartily.

“Where is the witch anyway?”

“A witch? More importantly, who are you, sir?”

“Don’t you know me?”

Taylor Marvel looked at me strangely.

“yes.”

“Aren’t you lacking basic qualities?”

“yes?”

“I don’t know how a witch fell in love with such a brat who lacks even the most basic of manners. Oh, come to think of it, I think they say that women at that age prefer men they want to take care of. The so-called twisted maternal instinct…”

‘I heard you have an odd personality.’

It was absurd to see him say something on his own and then start thinking about something else on his own.

“If you look at it that way, isn’t it a kind of child pornography…”

“Excuse me, sir…?”

“You called? More importantly, this place is not very hospitable to guests. Isn’t it polite to offer tea to guests first?”

Taylor Mabille clicked his tongue.

Then he looked around and found a sofa for guests, moved towards it, and soon sat down.

“…”

I have nothing to say.

What a truly self-willed person.

“Is your car here yet?”

It seemed like it would take longer than expected to become close.

[Taylor Marvel visits Korea.]

[Why did Taylor Mabille come to Korea?]

“…”

Elizabeth, who was watching the news, was speechless.

It was because of the news that Taylor Mabille had come to South Korea.

And that too without any warning.

‘I thought this could happen.’

I couldn’t help but know what that fact meant.

It was clear that he had come to take me away.

‘I told you to go back on your own.’

It’s not that I won’t go back.

I have always intended and planned to fulfill my duty regarding the privileges I have enjoyed as an S-class hero within the American Holy Empire.

But after living alone my whole life, I finally found the right partner.

Couldn’t we give them a little more leeway?

If I really miss this opportunity, if I break up with Seonghyeon, who am I going to meet?

Where can you find a man who gives that much for you and looks at your inner self rather than your outer appearance?

therefore…

“…ha.”

I know.

This is greed.

As a hero, I have no sense of responsibility.

‘It’s not like there’s no way to resolve it amicably.’

You can have a long distance relationship or go to the Holy Empire with Seonghyeon.

But a long distance relationship is just a long distance relationship.

Given the nature of being an S-class hero, it was obvious that we wouldn’t even be able to meet for a week a year.

Don’t people say that when people grow physically distant, their hearts also grow distant?

It’s not that Seonghyeon is like that, but what woman wouldn’t fall for him when she sees his personality and appearance?

‘Because Seonghyeon is a prince who only appears in fairy tales.’

It was obvious that those who were like Buddha would wag their tails, and that Seonghyeon, who was weak-willed, would get caught up in them.

In that case, the only way left is to go to the Holy Empire together.

‘I have work to do here. I don’t want to go anywhere right now.’

I tried to bring it up subtly before, but was rejected.

Of course, if I explain all the circumstances, you might nod your head.

I didn’t want to discourage him from his goal, and I had to reveal my true self in order to make the explanation convincing.

‘scared.’

It was meant to be revealed at some point, but that was after things had progressed further.

‘Ugly Ellie.’

‘I would like someone like you…’

Even if you don’t look at the outside, if you see the really shabby appearance, even a saint might not know.

Even if that wasn’t the case, I could have been disillusioned with him because he was lying.

And that disillusionment leads to dissonance, and eventually…

So there was only one way.

‘Pregnancy. At least you have to be pregnant.’

There is no other answer.

There’s an old fairy tale that says that if a fairy has three children, she can’t go to heaven.

It’s not like I’m trying to do something like that because I believe in fairy tales.

But given his personality, he wouldn’t abandon a child if he had one.

therefore.

‘…’

I know.

That this is an ugly thing.

But what can we do?

From a childhood that was twisted and distorted by her ugly appearance.

It was difficult to love properly to someone who had never been properly loved or been properly loved before.

There had to be something, something to prove as the relationship progressed, to feel secure.

That’s why Elizabeth was thinking about hiding.

It’s hard to manage your territory when you’re lost.

If Taylor Marvel is out, then it must have been a move that was made with the expectation of a short-term showdown in mind.

Once he hides and holds out, he will eventually have no choice but to go back.

Of course, I’m going to get a lot of hate for that.

I thought that if I could just win love and get pregnant, it would be worth it.

[First Love? The girl Taylor fell in love with for the first time?]

[Taylor Marvel rushes towards Laplace Academy!?]

[The girl who fell in love for the first time is a Laplace Academy cadet?]

But it seemed impossible.

Seeing that kind of news come out, it was clear that he had already confirmed why he was staying there.

A situation where a weakness is captured.

If he blew the whistle on Seonghyeon about himself, the lie would be exposed, and the result would be obvious.

‘Sister, are you lying to me? I trusted you.’

“no!”

Elizabeth jumped up from her seat and denied it.

no.

I didn’t lie because I wanted to lie.

From the beginning, I came here just for research purposes, but then I got involved and couldn’t help it.

Add excuse to excuse.

However, in Elizabeth’s mind, only Lee Seong-hyeon was depicted as disappointed and leaving.

If that happens…

‘Let’s break up. I don’t want to talk to a liar.’

It was necessary to prevent the lie from being exposed.

“I have to go.”

The target is the Laplace Academy student council room.

Elizabeth concentrated her mana throughout her body and chanted her magic.

**

[Didn’t I tell you not to cause trouble? Reflect on yourself.]

It’s a false accusation.

He himself has never had an accident.

Driving a classmate to suicide or colluding with a villain were false accusations made by malicious forces.

Rather, he is the one who is being threatened, but he is also the one trying to protect his side.

But no matter how much I explained and testified to that fact, my father’s gaze was cold.

For Tachibana Rie, who wanted to be recognized by her father, it was just a resentment.

That’s why I decided to get revenge.

I decided to clear my name.

Even though he had told her to reflect on herself, he knew that if he let this happen and the Tachibana family’s eldest daughter was humiliated in this way, the people of the world would not only insult her but also her father.

“It would be better to do nothing. Just reflect on yourself, like your father said.”

By the time we set our goals and gathered our evidence.

An accomplice of the framed criminal.

I warned you how the pink hair found you.

“Are you trying to threaten me again by using my weakness?”

“If necessary.”

“You’re trying to protect him.”

“…It’s you, not my senior, that I’m trying to protect?”

Nonsense.

I won’t be fooled anymore.

Of course, I can’t do it openly because I still have weaknesses.

“I see. I appreciate the advice.”

There was no way to back down.
