Became a Dark Merchant in the Academy - Chapter 290



289 – Fake_11

This incident is not a simple one where a villain runs wild in a small town and a murder occurs, or a hero gets caught up in an overflow at the gate and dies or goes missing.

It was an incident of such a large scale that it made one wonder if there had been an incident of this scale in the past 50 years, such as a country versus country, the disappearance of an S-class hero, and a fleet battle.

So naturally, there were many beings that came into contact with me.

“So, our Donggun Alliance is gathering information from the Donggun Alliance so that Chelsea Rondon can investigate more conveniently…”

Hakushiri Guest Reception Room.

A middle-aged man with a goatee, dressed in the traditional attire of the Donggun Alliance, sat on a sofa used for entertaining guests and smiled as he held out a small gold and silver engraved plaque on the table.

“…I appreciate the kindness of the Eastern Army Alliance, but it’s okay. We have prepared our own means, so you don’t need to go to such trouble.”

Chelsea Ronde shook her head at the man’s actions.

At first glance, it seemed like it would be helpful for the investigation, as it was about giving the Donggun Alliance a pass that would allow them to easily collect data during the investigation, but it wasn’t.

The function of the pack may be true.

You will be able to access the Donggun Union database and browse it at will.

However, it was clear that it would be a pattern that could track how and what data was collected and accessed.

In other words, if we accept that pattern and investigate based on it, we will be telling the Donggun Alliance everything about what information we are accepting and how we are investigating it, how we should respond, how we should deceive, and how we should control the data.

Of course, it’s not like I’ll be using that pack to gather and investigate all the information, so I can’t say that everything will be leaked.

Even if we had received something from the Eastern Alliance, it was obvious how it would turn out in the Holy Empire.

So Chelsea Ronde couldn’t take the card, and immediately returned the card on the table to the man sitting across from her.

“No. Our Donggun Union is trying to help the associations that are investigating to clear our name…”

The man again pushed the ball to Chelsea Ronde.

“It’s really okay. But more importantly, when you come next time, please refrain from talking about anything other than work. We made an appointment to meet for research-related work. If we talk about things other than work-related matters, wouldn’t there be unavoidable misunderstandings between us?”

Chelsea Ronde pushed the ball back to the man.

“What a misunderstanding… We really…”

The man tried to block the tiles to avoid getting the tiles back, but since he was just an ordinary mana user and not a hero, he was unable to overcome Chelsea Rond’s strength and was gradually pushed back.

How long did it take to get pushed like that?

-thud!

Eventually, the woman fell into the arms of the man who was defeated, and the man’s body fell backwards along with the sofa.

“Is that so? Let’s do that. But there’s another guest, so I can’t do that anymore.”

Chelsea Ronde paid no attention to the man’s appearance and gave the order to the guests without changing her expression.

“Ugh…”

The man’s face turned slightly red, perhaps because he felt embarrassed at the sight, and he quickly got up and hurriedly left the guest room.

“Are you okay?”

Chelsea Ronde turned her head and looked at me as I teleported next to her.

“Not bad.”

If you can do this much in two days, it’s a good level to add to the lies.

Of course, it would be difficult to say that it was really like Chelsea Rondo, but at first glance, it was similar.

I think it would be enough to just watch over him with clairvoyance and help him out only at important times.

“thank god.”

“Thank goodness… Well, I guess it’s good. More importantly, how does it feel to talk to people and get some fresh air after a long time?”

“If we’re talking about stories, I often talked about them with Sarah and Ines there.”

“That and this are a little different, right? Anyway, that’s why you’re greedy?”

I smiled at Chelsea Ronde, or rather, Anzor.

It was a smile with many meanings.

“No, not at all.”

In some ways, it was Anzeroth who I saw working next to me faster than Sarah.

Of course, her presence has almost reached 0, but her talent is still being used to great effect.

Anyway, I’m sure you know what I’m trying to say. Anzeroth shook his head without a moment’s hesitation.

“okay?”

“yes.”

“How could you be free if you just take one step? You’re still nothing. Even if you were free, as long as you don’t go around making a fuss, you might not care.”

“No need.”

“Don’t you want to see your family?”

“I don’t want to see you.”

That’s why I tried to tease him gently, but he didn’t hesitate even a little.

“That’s right.”

He wasn’t an S-class hero, and Anzeroth was just a second-year cadet at the academy.

He may not be an ordinary person, but he is not unusual either.

Also, it’s not even a subordinate position.

If so, then there should have been some kind of response if this opportunity had come, but there was no response at all.

‘Didn’t you cut it too short?’

When I first came into contact with Anzeroth, Sarah wasn’t around, so I couldn’t make her into a servant like I am now.

So, for my safety and to gain abilities, I underwent various training and experiments, but I think the intensity was a bit too much.

“If that’s the case.”

There is something to worry about.

It’s not like I regret her appearance.

I can’t say for sure, “This is it!”

I think this is how a novelist feels when he reads his first work, his first prologue.

I feel like I could have done a little better.

In a way, you could say she was my first work, my first tool.

‘I guess it’s good.’

I shook my head slightly.

Then he looked at Anzeroth.

Then, Angelo, who realized the meaning of my gaze, slowly lowered his body and stuck his head towards my feet.

-Keep going.

As for the feeling of stepping on it, Anzero was the best.

“Wouldn’t that monster have given up by now? I will fully cooperate with you. That’s enough…”

Inazuma spoke to Taylor Marvel, who was standing guard at the entrance to the cave, suggesting that they leave the cave.

“hmm.”

Taylor Marvel shook his head.

It meant that there were still risk factors remaining.

“but…”

“They said they’d contact me when things were resolved, so wouldn’t it be better to just wait and see how things go rather than making a fuss?”

“Ugh…”

A groan burst from Inazuma’s mouth.

I know Taylor Marvel’s opinion is valid, since he is such a monster in his head and has such a plan.

But it was because I couldn’t bear it any longer.

‘How long does it have to be like this?’

That’s understandable, because he had been running away as if being chased by the monster for two weeks, and had begun hiding in a cave on an unnamed island in the Ryukyu Islands.

There was still no sign of help, and the only food they had was crudely roasted fish caught from the sea or river, and fruit from trees.

I only have one set of clothes, and no matter how many times I washed them, they showed no sign of getting cleaned in the hot summer weather. Instead, they turned yellow and black, and a sour smell lingered in my nose all day long.

The sleeping area was nothing more than a roughly laid out cave floor with lots of bumps and bugs crawling around, so I couldn’t even sleep properly.

Not only that, the wounds he had received from that monster still stung his entire body.

No matter how much I tried to block the pain by directing mana to the injured area, the feeling of blood flowing backwards did not go away.

Whether I was lying down to sleep or staying still, no matter what position I was in, the pain felt like salt had been sprinkled on a wound, as if needles were pricking my brain.

If I hadn’t been an S-class hero, it wouldn’t have been strange if I had died a hundred times from a nervous breakdown.

No, if he hadn’t been an S-class hero in the first place, he would have died long ago.

As a collateral blood relative of the Tachibana family, he was born with a superior ability and was called a genius. For Inazuma, who had never experienced hardship since he was young except when he was training, the past two weeks had been like hell.

But I couldn’t push my opinion and had no choice but to bow my head.

‘I’ll just step a little further.’

It was because the fear of that monster still remained.

Inazuma hated death more than the pain.

“Why are you so irritable? If you need to pee, pee comfortably like last time.”

It was at a time when Inazuma was struggling and unable to do anything.

Elizabeth Hudson, who was lying inside the cave, suddenly got on her nerves.

“What did you say?”

Inazuma turned his head and glared at Elizabeth Hudson.

“Why? I didn’t make that up.”

“When did I ever…”

“Have you forgotten that time when you begged me to save you while peeing all over your body?”

Whether or not, Elizabeth Hudson just laughed at her.

“that…”

different.

At that time, I was absent-minded and mistook the other person for me.

therefore…

“What is that? Are you trying to make excuses like you mistook the other person for someone else? Even if you did, what would change? Would the past change? You’ll be a pee-pee man for eternity, generation after generation.”

“…You want to die?”

“Your topic?”

Inazuma and Elizabeth Hudson glared at each other.

At the same time, mana began to burst out around them.

“for a moment.”

It was around that time.

Taylor Marvel’s voice separated the two.

“Why? Don’t stop me. I have to settle things with that fucking b*tch.”

“What a coincidence. I was also thinking of settling things with that eavesdropper somewhere.”

“what?”

“yes?”

But the two showed no signs of stopping.

Instead, it started to burn even more as if fire had spread to dry firewood.

“That’s not it.”

The moment when it finally leads to a fight.

Taylor Marvel’s voice separated them again.

“Someone is coming.”

“what?”

“If it’s someone… maybe?”

Then the two of them hastily gathered mana.

“It’s not identifiable.”

“Well, it’s not like I have to run away…”

“It’s late. It’s too early.”

““…..””

He gulped nervously and looked at the entrance to the cave.

Just a few seconds like that.

A shadow appeared at the entrance to the cave.

“It’s been a while, everyone. How have you been, especially Auntie?”

And then a familiar voice echoed inside the cave.
