Became a Dark Merchant in the Academy - Chapter 306
305 – Access_2
306.
“So, Mr. Kyle, are you an exchange student too?”
The exterior of a cafe that you can commonly see anywhere.
Kyle, who had put down his drink on the table, raised his head again when he heard the voice calling him.
The eyes of the women with impressive red, orange, and green traffic light-like hair were all focused on Kyle.
“Ah, that…”
Kyle hesitated for a moment.
“Hey, do it right. Please.”
Then Mark Kenterlock, who was sitting next to him, tapped Kyle on the side and muttered quietly.
“…..”
Kyle gave Mark Kenterlock a quick look.
It’s a noisy 3-on-3 meeting that starts in the morning and continues until break time or lunch time. He keeps bothering me by saying that he can’t do it without me.
I thought she would follow me home if I left her alone, so I blocked her from directing the conversation towards me. I came out on the condition that she would just fill the space without doing anything.
What the heck is going on?
Aren’t any of the conditions being met?
No, beyond the extent of the disobedience, aside from the opening remarks of the meeting, questions have been directed only at Kyle since earlier.
“Mr. Kyle?”
As Kyle remained silent for a moment, the red-haired woman across from him looked puzzled.
‘ha…’
Kyle sighed deeply.
The motherfucker is Mark Kenterlock.
They are just innocent victims who have been deceived by the same lies as you.
Kyle wasn’t so broken as to get angry at his victim for something he didn’t like.
Kyle took the words with a determined expression.
“Oh, yes. That’s right. I came as an exchange student from Michael Academy.”
“When you say Michael Academy, you mean the Michael Academy in the French Republic?”
“you’re right.”
“Wow, really?”
“It’s true.”
“So, how long will you be staying here?”
“About six months.”
“Short term? If so…”
“Ah, that’s…”
But it didn’t go any further.
Just cut it off with a short answer.
It wasn’t that I didn’t like my meeting partners.
The opponents are not only beautiful but also stylish.
In addition, he doesn’t even give Mark Kenterlock or any other meeting partner a second glance and only actively shows interest in himself.
Besides, she doesn’t even have pink hair.
‘Pink hair? Why pink hair all of a sudden…’
Kyle shook his head slightly at the sudden thought that popped into his head.
Anyway, as a man, it wasn’t easy to hate those kinds of people, and Kyle was one of those men.
But I also had a promise to keep with my brother, and more than anything, I felt strangely and definitely uncomfortable.
The people you meet are like well-made statues or game characters, and they imitate humans…

“We’ll go to the bathroom for a bit.”
During the conversation, the traffic light trio stood up from their seats.
After a while, as they moved away, Mark Kenterlock, who had been smiling and responding to their words with “Ah,” “Yes,” and “I see,” grabbed Kyle’s shoulder and made a serious expression.
“Hey, I told you to do it. But do you really have to ruin the mood like that?”
“I told you to just stay still. Then, you have to figure out the rest.”
“If that were possible, I wouldn’t have brought you here.”
“what?”
Kyle was dumbfounded by the shameless Mark Kenterlock.
This is like saving a drowning person and then yelling at him to give you his bundle.
“I’ll ask you just this once. If you tell me to kneel later, I’ll kneel. If you tell me to lick your feet, I’ll lick them. Just set the mood a little.”
Mark Kenterlock kept lowering his head and trying to persuade Kyle.
“Okay, one meal later. No, three days. Okay, fine. I’ll pay for whatever you want.”
“…..”
“Ha, honestly, are you only doing this for my own good? You’re interested, too. The other party isn’t a pumpkin. That’s top-notch. If you decide first, I won’t even touch them. Okay? Please. I’ve been feeling a little cold lately.”
“…..”
“Hey, Jinwoo. You too, hurry up and do this. If this guy keeps up like this, he’ll definitely go back. If he leaves, this meeting’s over right away!!!”
Still, when Kyle didn’t even blink an eye, he brought in Jinwoo, the last member of the male side.
“Mr. Kyle, I really want to escape Mosul somehow.”
Even Jinwoo, a colleague who had been just flirting with Mark, bowed his head to Kyle.
“Please.”
“please!”
“What are they doing?”
“I don’t know. You seem to be talking so funny, so maybe you’re filming for YouTube or something?”
“Is that so? I don’t think so…”
As the commotion grew, other customers in the cafe began to glance at Kyle and whisper.
Kyle let out a small sigh.
“…Okay, I understand. Stop it.”
“Thank you so much. I’ll definitely repay you later!”
“Thank you!!”
“Speak quietly.”
“Let’s check the pairing again. I…”

“I had a great time today. By the way, if it’s okay with you, Kyle, could you give me your contact information?”
The sun sets beyond the mountain ridge and the streetlights come on.
At the bus stop, a green-haired woman shyly handed Kyle her cell phone.
“sorry.”
“Ah, as expected…”
“That’s not it. As I said earlier, I’ve only been here as an exchange student for a short time. I don’t have a cell phone.”
Kyle smiled awkwardly.
“Aha, I see. You haven’t opened it yet. Okay. Then… if you do open it later, could you please call me at this number?”
The green-haired woman took out a notebook and pen from her handbag, wrote down a number, and handed it to Kyle.
“Okay, I’ll contact you when it opens.”
Kyle took the number and nodded.
Not long after, the bus stopped at the stop, and the green-haired woman got on the bus with a somewhat regretful expression, then turned around and looked at Kyle.
“It’s a ‘must.’ You must contact me when it opens.”
“Yes. I will definitely contact you once it opens.”
The green-haired woman seemed satisfied with Kyle’s words, and quickly boarded the bus.
And the bus departed. Kyle stared at the back of the bus, and when it disappeared from sight, he crumpled up the piece of paper with the number on it and threw it to the ground.
-Whew.
The wind blew at the same time.
The crumpled paper disappeared into the darkness that even Kyle could not see.
“…..What do you mean you’ll contact me when it opens?”
It was something I could have just refused.
But why did it turn out like this?
Because the other person was sincere and passionate, unlike you who just came to fill a seat?
Because your face looks bright?
Or, in the past…
“I don’t know.”
Kyle smiled self-deprecatingly.
Now, I guess it’s a good thing.
The lie was told and the other person left.
It’s not that there was no way to correct it right away, but it’s now impossible.
“I have to go back.”
Kyle turned toward the house.
Then he took his cell phone out of his pocket and called his younger sister, Leah.
I forgot to call you at lunch because of Mark, and although I didn’t give you a definite answer, I made a vague promise to return quickly.
Since he had already broken it like this, he was in a situation where he would have passed out if he had gone in like this, so he wanted to first hit his head to vent his anger.
-…..
1 minute.
-…..
1 minute.
-…..
1 minute.
No matter how many times I tried to call, the phone would just keep saying it was connected to voicemail.
“Are you upset?”
At first I thought it was because I was busy, but that only happened once or twice.
If you think about it, there was nothing Leah could be so busy with at this hour that she couldn’t even answer the phone. That wasn’t it.
So the only answer that comes to mind is that Hana Ria is intentionally ignoring the contact.
“If you go in, you’ll die.”
There’s nothing I can do.
On the way in, you have no choice but to stop by an ice cream shop or convenience store and buy some souvenirs.
Kyle put his phone back in his pocket.
And about 40 minutes.
He opened the front door and entered the house, shaking the white envelope containing the tribute.
“I’m back… What, what is it?”
Kyle stepped back in surprise.
The reason was nothing special.
Leah was standing in the hallway with a blank expression on her face.
“I was surprised. Hey, why are you standing there?”
“promise.”
“What are you talking about?”
“You’re late.”
So Kyle questioned her lightly, but Leah just glanced at him with a blank expression.
Kyle found Leah strange and somehow creepy.
Not only was she expressionless, but her red eyes seemed to flash when they scanned him.
It’s like a monster in a movie that eats people and imitates the person it ate, or a doppelganger from a higher gate pretending to be your younger sibling…
It was because I felt like he was my younger sibling, but he wasn’t really my younger sibling.
‘What was I thinking just now?’
Kyle shook his head for a moment.
If your younger sibling isn’t your younger sibling, then who is that?
White hair, red eyes. Pale skin. No matter where you look, it’s Leah, your younger sister.
It was clear that I felt that way because everything that felt unfamiliar and eerie was something that stung.
“Oh, there are various reasons for that…”
“Okay. Judging from the mixed smells, it must have gone the other way.”
Yes, that’s right.
Words that don’t make sense.
“Huh? What does that mean?”
“You don’t need to know.”
Even though it seemed like the light was shining again.
“How long do you plan on standing outside? Close the door now. Mosquitoes are coming in.”
“Oh, right. We don’t want mosquitoes coming in.”
That’s because there’s something that stings.
Kyle closed the door with a wry laugh.
