Became a Dark Merchant in the Academy - Chapter 284



283 – Fake_5

A great upheaval that occurred when the ‘door’ opened over 100 years ago.

A war that broke out due to greed that blossomed between misunderstanding and distrust.

Because of this, countless amounts of blood were shed throughout the world.

Rivers of blood, fields of corpses.

Parents buried their children in their hearts with tears.

The child missed his parents endlessly.

Those who lost their brothers and sisters wanted revenge.

The lover kept calling out to the one he loved.

He who has lost a friend is lost in despair.

Many other relationships and bonds were filled with heartbreak.

So even though the war was over, the sparks of conflict were rekindled.

It went off again and came back on again.

Do that dozens of times.

People thought.

If things continue this way, the world might end someday.

Also, we must not allow future generations to experience this sorrow.

That is why the people, their leaders and each nation, agreed that they must prevent the door that would distort the world from opening and prevent another war from breaking out.

And thus the Hero Association was established.

However, even though it is an organization established with the will of each country coming together, each person has their own circumstances, and each organization has their own circumstances.

It only showed a little bit of power the first few times, but it didn’t show any real utility.

No, rather, the world became more chaotic than before it was founded.

It was an organization established illegally in the first place, and although it had a large workforce for an organization, it felt like it was not enough for a single organization to control worldly affairs.

So the Hero Association was divided into headquarters and branches.

Because each country judged that the reason for the chaos was that people were only pursuing their own interests.

The roles were completely separated, with each branch managing only a certain area, that is, their own country.

The headquarters was reorganized to handle issues that the branches cannot handle on their own or when disputes arise between branches.

“So the Holy Empire and the Eastern Alliance are in a state of imminent danger?”

Europe, Switzerland.

The top floor of the Hero Association headquarters, located in the world’s only neutral country.

The Association’s headquarters office.

Viktor Severin, the head of the headquarters association and former Polish-Lithuanian S-class hero, looked at his subordinate who had submitted the report as if he found it ridiculous.

No wonder the American Holy Empire and the Allied Powers are trying to go to war?

This was because it was something that was completely incomprehensible to his common sense or information system.

That’s why Victor Severin asked again, thinking that he might have misheard while absentmindedly.

“Yes, that’s right. There is also video evidence. As you can see here, the Holy Empire Navy and the Eastern Alliance Navy are facing off on the Ogasawara Islands.”

The subordinate who was reporting took out a magic tool from his bosom and showed a holographic image of the battleships facing each other, confirming that Viktor Severin’s body was there and killing him.

“…Why?”

“It’s still under investigation so it’s not certain, but from what I’ve figured out, the Holy Empire is trying to go to Okinawa and the Eastern Alliance seems to be preventing them.”

“Okinawa?”

“It’s Okinawa.”

“why?”

“…I don’t know.”

“what?”

Victor Severin looked at his subordinate, who shook his head with a serious expression, and again made a look of bewilderment.

Don’t you know that?

Neither the nations of the Black Continent nor the small countries of the South Pacific.

It is a clash between the Holy Empire of America and the Allied Powers.

It is a conflict between powerful countries that are ranked in the top 10 in terms of both economic and military power.

Unless the leaders are crazy, there must be a reason for this.

Of course, there’s no way they’d take their fleet out to a standoff to play rock-paper-scissors, right?

“What is your job?”

“We will examine the movements of major countries, eliminate the causes of conflict, and promote reconciliation and harmony among branches…”

“You asked what the job is, not a description of the job.”

“I’m in charge of information.”

“however?”

“This incident happened so unexpectedly and in an instant. We are also trying to figure it out…”

He protested as if he had been wronged.

There were no prior warnings about this incident.

Also, I haven’t heard anything from my sources in the Holy Empire or the Eastern Alliance.

so…

“So it was an unavoidable situation?”

“Yes, but we are doing our best, so we will soon be able to find out why the Holy Empire and the Alliance are trying to clash.”

“…”

It was so absurd that it made my nose run.

You couldn’t find it because you couldn’t see any signs of it?

Are you saying that you yourself spread rumors in the neighborhood when something happens?

Isn’t it because incidents don’t spread like wildfire and don’t spread the word on their own that information units exist?

If you’re just going to find out information after an incident has occurred, what’s the point of using an intelligence unit?

If that was the case, then after the incident was over, you could have just gone to the person involved and asked them what the reason was.

“Ah. That, that’s… That’s not it. This is a very special case…”

“Get out.”

“Association President.”

Victor Severin took hold of the frame of his glasses with trembling hands and placed them on the desk.

Then he touched his forehead and temple with one hand and opened his mouth quietly.

“I’ll give you exactly 30 minutes. Within that time, find out why those two countries are at odds.”

If it were up to me, I would just cut off his balls, swear at him, and then kick him out of the association.

Even though he looks like that, he’s the head of the information unit.

A snake with its head cut off can’t possibly be alive, right?

Of course, it would be possible to just change the head to a different one.

If you put a frog’s head in place of a snake’s head, it would not only not work properly, but you would die as a result of the side effects.

So, for now, it seemed like it was applying it like touching the balls of a dead child, but it seemed like it would be right to take the time to blow up the body and bring in something completely new, since even the informant didn’t seem to have any different feelings.

“Oh, I understand.”

He nodded and hurriedly left the association headquarters office.

Viktor Severin let out a low sigh at that sight.

**

Heroes don’t just appear.

A hero is someone with extraordinary courage, talent, and wisdom.

Doing things that ordinary people cannot do.

This is a word used to refer to someone who is admired.

Seeing people do things that anyone can do in the midst of ordinary events and ordinary daily lives.

It’s not like you’re going to be admired or admired.

That is why, as the old saying goes, heroes emerge in troubled times.

I believe that an event is necessary for a hero to emerge.

And I think the bigger the incident, the more respected and admired the hero can be.

Of course, some will say that my thinking is wrong.

From noble mtl dot com

‘Then there’s nothing we can do.’

That’s my opinion.

My extremely personal opinion.

I don’t ask you to understand.

In the first place, there is no such thing as right or wrong in thinking.

Anyway, for a hero to appear, a suitable event, that is, a trial, is necessary.

But what does trial mean?

Doesn’t that mean a difficult training or crisis to go through?

In other words, it was something that was hard to see on a regular basis.

So how can we face trials?

It was simple.

Or go to a place where there are trials.

Or make it.

-Kwaaa …

The sea seen from the sky where only the moon and stars shine.

A loud noise filled all directions, and flames were rising between the battleships in the distance.

It was the effect of my special bombs exploding while teleported inside the battleship.

“surprise attack!!!”

“All crew members, return to your positions!!!”

“Mana ability users, move to the designated location!!!”

“Coordinates B31…”

The rough voices of men echoed far and wide across the sea.

And soon after, the unharmed battleships completed their maintenance and began turning at a speed of several dozen knots.

Perhaps the Holy Empire fleet judged that the Eastern Alliance, with which they were confronting them, was firing torpedoes, missiles, or attack magic.

It seemed like they were thinking of moving away for a while to regroup.

It also seemed that they were trying to assess the situation again, thinking that if they were attacked here, a real war could break out.

“That won’t work.”

Trials require blood to be shed.

And the severity of the ordeal is assessed based on how much blood is shed.

That’s why I used my teleportation to find the location of the commander in charge of the Holy Empire fleet and dropped a bomb on him.

“Where is this…”

The commander was puzzled by the sudden appearance of the bomb.

The bomb exploded even faster than expected.

-Kwaaang!!!

The meat pieces were flying everywhere.

[Commander?]

[There was a loud noise coming from the direction of the flagship. Hey, are you okay?]

Then, they started radioing the flagship from all directions.

“Sarah, I’ll ask you to do as planned.”

“Okay, Oppa. Just leave it to me.”

I, who had been waiting for that moment, ordered Sarah to use the crew I had prepared in advance to transmit the order as planned.

[This is… the flagship Ainia… broadcasting. Commander… has been hit. I’m broadcasting again… Commander… has been hit by a missile from the Eastern Alliance…]

Said.
