Became a Dark Merchant in the Academy - Chapter 299



298 – real_6

After the man who calls himself the real Chelsea Rondo made shocking remarks about Taylor Mabille, the press conference broadcasts in each country abruptly ended.

There were plenty of reasons for the press conference to end early, starting with Taylor Marvel’s intrusion, so in some ways it could be said that it was only natural.

For those watching the press conference, it was enough to make them feel dumbfounded and wonder if the government was hiding something.

-I want to know the truth!

-Continue with the press conference!!

-What is the government trying to hide?

-Taylor Marvel is a villain. What do you mean, broadcasting station, reveal the truth!!

-So? Is Ines real or fake?

.

.

.

The bulletin board of a broadcasting station that was broadcasting the press conference was turned into a scorched earth.

[Shock! The secret hidden in the Okinawa incident.]

[The truth about the current situation that the American Holy Empire has been hiding and that the Allied Forces are trying their best to cover up.]

[A villain disguised as a hero? Let’s learn about Astra’s Numbers.]

.

.

.

A groundless video tornado runs rampant.

@So Taylor Marvel is the villain of the villain organization Astra? Does that make sense!!

@Isn’t that suspicious? Or is there a reason to force Ines, who is defenseless, into doing that by wearing a mana restraint?

@That’s because Ines is a special villain. Where is the hero who listens to the villain?

@Right. And if it’s a special villain, the answer is to kill him on sight.

@Still, at least the story is…

.

.

.

Internet communities also went wild.

“Which story is true?”

“Well, one thing is certain though. There is a villain involved in this incident.”

“That’s true.”

Once again, people gathered together and discussed in small groups.

“What do you all think about this incident?”

“Hmm… I don’t think this is something to be judged hastily.”

“That’s right. Since the information agency has dispatched agents, wouldn’t it be better to wait for now?”

“Can the agents come back with any real information?”

“Then what do you want us to do?”

The government meeting showed no sign of ending.

It was around that time.

-Breaking news. We have news that Ms. Elizabeth Hudson and Mr. Inazuma have appeared at the press conference.

The press conference broadcast, which had been darkened, has once again begun to shine.

“What Chelsea Ronde said is true. Taylor Marvel is a villain under Astra, and Astra is involved in this incident.”

“Also, the real culprit in this incident is…”

The answers of Elizabeth Hudson and Inazuma turned the world upside down once again.

**

“senior!!”

As I was about to leave the room after finishing my preparations, Yukina Ishihara appeared through teleportation and blocked my way.

Yukina’s expression, which had never changed even once in response to anything up until now, was slightly distorted.

Moreover, the tone of voice was one or two levels higher than the tone in which he usually spoke.

Anyone who saw Yukina now would definitely think that she was angry.

“Why? What’s going on?”

“Are you asking because you don’t know?”

No way.

There’s no need to explain why Yukina is so angry.

Breaking news coming out now.

To be exact, it was because of Elizabeth Hudson and Inazuma who appeared at the press conference.

“If you knew, would you have asked?”

But I pretended not to know.

This was the first time I had the chance to mock the troublemaker who had been bothering me so much.

“…Senior, have you forgotten the advice I gave you earlier?”

Then Yukina clenched her teeth for a moment and threatened me.

“Advice? Oh, I remember.”

How could I forget?

Yukina is the biggest obstacle for me right now.

So naturally, I had every word and every action engraved in my head.

Ubiquitous, isn’t it fundamental to be prepared and ready before an incident occurs?

Otherwise I’ll get eaten in reverse.

“Then do you know what I’m trying to say now?”

“I have a rough idea.”

“Really? Then stop. This is your final warning. No more…”

So there’s no need to hear everything.

“Do whatever you want.”

I cut off Yukina mid-sentence.

The reason I’ve let Yukina do whatever she wants until now isn’t because I was powerless and inferior to her.

I was just being cautious and careful.

I have the evidence and the numerous abilities that a regressor would have, regarding the things I have done.

And the singularity that □, which is opposed to ■, gave is unexplainable. That is, the power of the warrior profession.

The countless unpredictable variables that can arise because of this.

“No matter what I do, you won’t be able to move.”

I’ve confirmed most of your abilities while we’re together.

The evidence was also analyzed through Clairvoyance.

And I have prepared enough counters for that.

Of course, I know that Yukina Ishihara showed them to me on purpose to manipulate me, to threaten me.

There is a problem, not a problem, that □ has given us an unexplained peculiarity, namely that we have not fully grasped the power of the warrior profession.

There may still be many areas where I was caught off guard.

‘If you want, just give me an arm or a leg.’

Just give what you have to give.

Even my life if necessary.

I don’t like taking a loss, but if it means silencing the saboteur, then so be it.

If I could guide the hypothesis of regression, the will hidden within it, in the direction I want.

Because the plan may reach its end sooner than planned.

Moreover, the truth about myself that most inhibited my actions.

Now was the right time, since I couldn’t come out because of that press conference.

“I can’t move… Senior, do you think you can tie me down with the contract you just made? In the first place, interfering with that has nothing to do with the contents of the contract, so even if I interfere, the contract won’t move, right?”

Yukina Ishihara smiled as if she found it absurd.

It seemed like he was wondering if he could defeat himself with just that level of preparation.

“I guess so.”

Since what she said wasn’t wrong, I nodded.

The contract wasn’t originally intended to tie down Yukina Ishihara.

This was a throwaway remark, meant to confirm and divert attention for a moment.

“So, if you hadn’t come looking for me like this, I was planning on going.”

Honestly, I thought Yukina would come to me first and storm into the press conference room.

Because the contract did not include anything to suppress that.

I intentionally left it out because I thought I would get caught if I put it in.

So if you think efficiently, if you judge correctly, Yukina should have gone to the press conference.

It would have been a bit difficult for me to use my hands there.

But you came to me like this.

Is it unconscious interference?

Or maybe he was trying to get something out of me through blackmail.

Or there are other tricks.

It was good anyway.

“If you come…”

Yukina tilted her head.

“Senior, Seol─”

Yukina’s expression changed drastically as she realized what I meant.

Surprised eyes turned to me.

Then he started to urgently raise his mana.

But then I paused.

This is because as she raised her mana with the intention of attacking, numerous chains appeared around Yukina’s body.

The delay was caused by a breach of contract.

An unconscious intervention that failed to take the penalty.

That was Yukina’s mistake.

“You can’t stop.”

I took advantage of that gap and grabbed Yukina’s neck with one hand.

[Breach of contract. Penalty imposed.]

Then the chains of the contract wrapped around my body and my heart burst.

“─!!”

For a moment my vision went blank and blood flowed from the corner of my mouth.

In Yukina’s case, she stopped trying to attack, so she didn’t receive the full penalty for breach of contract.

In my case, I received the full penalty because I attacked directly.

But this number was the most ideal.

If you were going to break the contract and do this, Yukina would have responded adequately.

‘That’s not bad, by the way.’

How long has it been since I felt this kind of pain?

I suddenly remembered the time when I fought with Ines in the underground cavern.

I first distributed the damage by sharing the heart.

Even if it was dispersed, it is true that the heart has burst, so unless something is done about it, it is an unchangeable fact that it is destined to die.

No, it’s the same even if you take action.

Because the contract ends only when I die.

If I live, the contract will continue to rush to kill me, even though I am not dead.

So there is only one way.

Cancel the contract.

[Uses Disconnection Lv.???]

The swordsman’s ability that he had previously acquired was activated.

.

.

Then, a black line appeared between the chains that had been squeezing me, as if a space had been created, and countless red notification windows appeared.

[Activate Blood RulerLV.???]

I ignored the notification window and used Sarah’s ability to make the blood that had not been flowing flow throughout my body.

My blurred vision returned to normal.

Then, he restored the heart with Paladin’s ability and blocked the retreat by nullifying Ines’ ability.

“Because it stopped.”

The entire process takes less than 3 seconds to complete.

“Is this how you get caught?”

-Crack!

I twisted Yukina Ishihara’s neck.
