Became a Dark Merchant in the Academy - Chapter 295



294 – real_2

I don’t know exactly how Yukina Ishihara will deal with this.

It’s not like I can see the future or read other people’s minds.

Based on what has been shown so far, we can only infer that if I act this way, then they will do that.

But since I’m the one who’s in control, I’m in a position to control which way the river flows.

So, what I meant was that I could guide this press conference in the direction I wanted.

[Which villain organization is it? I don’t know the name, but that villain organization is…]

So, it could be said that Taylor Marvel’s appearance was a ‘planned’ harmony.

There may be a way to use Elizabeth or Inazuma, though.

Inazuma attacked the Holy Empire Information Department.

Because we have evidence that Elizabeth fought against Inazuma.

It would be difficult to reconcile and adjust the story within a short period of time by treating the evidence as if it did not exist.

Of course, since Yukina Ishihara is a regressor, what you see may not be the end.

There may be some great and profound plan.

[That won’t work.]

But Yukina can’t come forward.

Judging from Yukina’s behavior so far, it doesn’t seem like she can regress at will.

Because when I think about the hypothesis of regression, it seems like I have been ‘adjusted’ or ‘judged’ to avoid experiencing irreversible failures or mistakes.

Therefore, when you see Ines, who is the most important key to my plan and whose absence could end the plan before it even begins, appear, you will know what I am trying to say.

In this case, I have no choice but to solidify my victory.

However, we must always consider cases where the hypothesis and behavior are wrong.

[Until 1…]

If we kept getting interrupted like this, it would have been the same whether it ended now or dragged out.

At some point I placed a bet.

This time it’s the same thing.

Anyway, in order to conclude this press conference, which was dominated by Taylor Mabille’s opinions, in the way I wanted, I needed an impact greater than what Taylor Mabille had given.

So, the one who came forward was Ines.

Honestly, I was thinking of giving up Paladin.

In addition to sending a warning to Ishihara Yukina, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to have a surprise event like this in order to use Olivia appropriately.

I sent Ines out because she could be used to remove gas and as a way to approach the saintess.

[Because she’s shy.]

Ines, who appeared at the press conference, stood in the way of the investigation team members who rushed to skin Anderser, who was disguised as Chelsea Rondo.

[Ohh …

[Hey, hey hey hey hey hey?]

[How did you get here.]

[No. Wasn’t he dead in the first place?]

The investigation team members looked surprised.

But that was only for a moment.

Most people still had expressions that said they didn’t understand what had happened.

The investigators, who had come to their senses, formed a circle around her, just like they had when they confronted Taylor Marvel earlier.

And the feelings he harbored toward Ines seemed like surprise and hostility.

It was a completely different reaction from the emotions he had shown when confronting Taylor Marvel earlier, which were doubt and anger.

‘Is this a natural reaction?’

Taylor Marvel is a missing S-class hero.

On the other hand, it is a story from long ago that Ines was an S-class hero.

He is now listed in the new hero history as a corrupted S-class hero and a special villain.

The attitude towards each other cannot but be different.

Also, just a little while ago, Taylor Marvel mentioned that there was a black curtain villain organization.

They stood guard over the villain who was pretending to be Chelsea Rond, the one who looked like a swindler and their leader.

This was also because it was a structure that made him look like he was a member of that dark villain organization.

[Ines is alive.]

[So what Kwon Sung said was a lie?]

[Some of the bodies were also repatriated to France. The genetic testing results were said to be correct.]

[Then what is that? She’s healthy and fine… Is that really Ines?]

[What do you know? It’s a scoop!]

That’s why the reporters were surprised.

The camera naturally turned towards Ines.

And I don’t know, but that kind of reaction isn’t limited to press conferences.

[Hey, Ines!?]

[Ines, who was thought to be dead, has appeared. What could be going on?]

[What does Hero Expert Argenta think about the series of events currently unfolding?]

[I don’t know anymore.]

[Please explain that somehow.]

[Explanation: What kind of press conference is this? A missing person shows up. A special villain who was supposedly dead shows up. What kind of explanation should I give? Should I say that some kind of Mechatyrano X will appear next?]

Even if you just log onto a single broadcasting channel, the expressions on the faces of the hosts and self-proclaimed hero experts change from moment to moment.

-Didn’t it officially announce that Kwon Sung was killed?

-They also took part of the body to France and performed an autopsy, and the results showed that the DNA matched.

-Then what is that?

-I don’t know either. If Taylor Marvel said Chelsea Rondo was fake, then isn’t that one fake too?

-So that’s the fake Ines. Are you saying that there really is a secret dark organization like Taylor Marvel said?

-I don’t know. Don’t I?

.

.

.

If you look at the live chats on that broadcast channel, you can tell what the reactions will be like elsewhere.

Anyway, back to the story, in that state, Ines had no choice but to be deliberately cornered by the black-cursed villain organization.

There was a lot of debate over whether it was really Ines.

The timing of its appearance was like that. The reaction was like that. The accumulated karma made it seem that way.

If things continued this way, Ines, who had just appeared, would definitely be branded as a member of the dark villain organization.

‘That can’t be.’

I said I would turn Ines back into a hero.

To be honest, it’s no different than giving a bottle of wine and medicine, but I promised.

Also, for the plan to work, Ines must return as a hero.

However, Ines cannot be restored to her position as a hero through normal means.

Even the people of the 17th Federation of China, whose population was approaching 3 billion, were still people.

Each individual has their own individual value, and each person’s life is worth as much as the value of a human life.

But there is someone who has killed over tens of thousands of people and has fallen to the level of a top-tier villain.

Will the sins committed by those who suddenly appear and solve one or two cases in a cool way be erased?

‘Absolutely not.’

It is impossible even if you spend your whole life atonement.

It is absolutely impossible unless you can bring all the dead back to life.

No matter how elaborately you repair a broken cup, it is still a broken cup.

Even if water can be stored somehow, there are flaws. There are cracks and dents. It doesn’t change the fact that water will eventually spill through those gaps.

So there is only one answer.

Using unusual methods.

If you can’t patch it up, break it, melt it down, and recreate it.

Of course, if that happens, things will be worse than before.

There are parts that have fallen off from the gold and broken parts.

When you melt and regenerate something, some parts are thrown away.

This will cause the cup to become lower in height and change shape so that it cannot return to its original state.

But thanks to that, you can pretend it’s a different cup by changing the name tag and price tag.

Of course, there will be many people who doubt, and there will be many people who verify.

Isn’t it enough for a cup to just hold water?

The world has always been like that.

So now I needed someone to sell the items on my behalf.

I needed a playmaker to cool down the overheated atmosphere for a moment and bring me back to my pace.

“Please prepare.”

Inyoung, who had been waiting behind me, made a rustling sound as she moved.

“I trust you will do well.”

I turned my head and looked behind me, and there were two women standing there.

The expressions on their faces were completely different.

One of them was swallowing his saliva with great nervousness.

Another one was gritting his teeth.

The name of the nervous person is Hozumi Rei. His role is a guide.

The name of the person gritting his teeth and glaring at me is.

“Chelsea Ronde.”

The role was that of an arbitrator.

**

Heil Greg couldn’t understand the current situation at all.

Of course, Taylor Mabille, who had been missing, appeared, and that Taylor Mabille attacked Chelsea Rond, the team leader.

The reason for the attack was that the person they had thought was the team leader was actually not the team leader.

The Okinawa incident itself was planned by some dark villain organization?

So, to confirm the facts, I’m trying to check the authenticity of Chelsea Rond.

Ines, who was thought to be dead, comes out and protects me?

How am I supposed to understand this?

Even Sherlock Holmes, the famous detective in the novel, would say that he doesn’t understand this kind of thing.

But one thing was certain.

In order to determine whether what Taylor Mabille said is true, we need to determine whether Chelsea Ronde’s statement is true.

For that, Ines, or rather, someone who might or might not be Ines, had to be ruled out.

“Everyone ready.”

Heil Greg glared at Ines, who was not taking any stance.

And he made a fist to signal.

If the opponent is really Ines, there is nothing they can do.

There’s Taylor Marvel, and if that’s true, then something is certain.

“Ball─”

After completing his preparations, Heil Greg tried to give the order for the investigation team to attack.

That was the moment.

-bang!

The press conference room door opened.

A woman entered the press conference room.

“Greg. Stop!!!”

It was Chelsea Rond.

Second Chelsea Rond.

“uh…!?”

Heil Gregg stopped understanding.
