Became a Dark Merchant in the Academy

225 – Student Council President Election_29

If you put on a show in the square and grab people’s attention, and if Park Yul-cheon says, “That’s great,” then he’ll join right away and provide support.

I barely made it through step 1.

The votes that are moved by such suspicions or rumors are just floating votes that are dragged along by external factors.

A fixed layer, a stone that is embedded and will not fall out unless required.

Unless she admits it frankly and says, ‘Yes, I did it because I was blinded by greed. I am truly sorry to Cadet Lee Seong-hyeon. I will willingly pay for this sin,’ and does something ridiculous like resigning from the candidacy.

The fixed votes that supported Tachibana Rie from the beginning do not move.

So, I had to use another number next time.

If you don’t like the results of the vote, you can change it.

Still, there was a possibility.

Or a big upset at the end of a close fight.

You need to have that kind of persuasive power so that no one will interfere with your work as student body president.

“So, you want me to help you?”

5th Electoral Office.

In the candidate’s private room, Lee Won-jun, sitting on the sofa across from him, crossed his legs with a bewildered expression.

“okay.”

Even if things go according to plan, we don’t know exactly how the tables will move.

‘It might be possible if it’s Laplace’s demon.’

A being who knows the exact position and momentum of every atom in the universe.

A monster close to omnipotence that can explain all past and present phenomena and even predict the future.

If there was such a being, then it would know anything.

As for me, I don’t know how or in what way the votes are moved.

We can only make rough estimates or predictions.

And the value is roughly 25 percent +- 2 percent.

The reason my approval rating went down was because I protected Olivia.

But that incident was a false accusation, and even these suspicions arose.

It would be easy to restore the original approval rating, but if public opinion is manipulated there, sympathy votes and even suspicion votes will be created.

This is a slightly positive estimate, but it is not completely impossible.

In that case, the current election landscape would be as follows.

1st place Park Yul-cheon 40%.

2nd place Tachibana 26%.

3rd place me 25 percent.

4th place Lee Won-jun 7%.

5th place Yukina 2 pro.

You don’t necessarily have to get first place, but you should at least get second place so that the twist isn’t accused of being a lie.

In order to get second place, Lee Won-jun’s vote was absolutely necessary.

“Why me?”

“Then it will be worth fighting.”

“No, I mean. Why should I help you?”

Why should I help you?

It was simple.

“That way, I can hit Park Yul-cheon with a punch.”

I realized this after seeing the way Lee Won-jun looked at Park Yul-cheon during the second event.

Something bad happened between them.

That’s why we started investigating and found out that Park Yul-cheon visited Lee Won-jun about two days before the event.

Perhaps the reason was for unification.

‘After Park Yul-cheon left, didn’t you say you heard a lot of swearing coming from the election office?’

And then something happened and things didn’t work out and that’s when I guessed they had a falling out.

It was confirmed that there had been no interaction between Park Yul-cheon and Lee Won-jun before.

‘It doesn’t matter if it’s not like that.’

The method to persuade Lee Won-jun has already been prepared.

It would be nice if it just went like this, and if not, it wouldn’t be a big problem.

“…under.”

Does that make my words even more absurd?

Lee Won-jun threw his head back, covered his eyes with his hands, and let out a hollow laugh.

“Fuck, these kids don’t know what they’re doing.”

And then the swear words burst out.

“Get out before I blow your thrush.”

He seemed to be barely holding back his anger.

It’s not like I don’t know the reason.

It’s true that he didn’t get along with Park Yul-cheon, but he wasn’t on good terms with me either.

So, it’s like I’m saying that I’ll take revenge on your behalf.

As for me, I wonder if it was really necessary to drag this out like this after getting screwed once in a martial arts match.

Isn’t it true that not all people’s personalities or character can be as correct as mine?

“Of course I’m not asking you to do it for free. If you get elected, I promise to give you the vice president position.”

So, I, a good person, have no choice but to take a moment to consider this and offer a fair deal again.

Of course I have no intention of keeping my promise.

Even though the vice president position is said to have less power than the president, it is not non-existent.

Because I’ve already decided where to use it.

An oral contract is just an oral contract.

“Fuck!!!”

But, perhaps taking it as a provocation, Lee Won-jun suddenly stood up and threw a punch at me.

“huh?”

However, the fist was too slow.

No matter how I looked at it, it seemed like there had been no development at all since we met at the martial arts festival.

I lightly grabbed Lee Won-jun’s fist and threw him down.

-Bang!

“Ugh─”

Lee Won-jun, whose back was planted on the concrete floor, forced his mouth open and exhaled the air in his lungs.

“Sorry, I did it reflexively. Are you okay?”

It was done on purpose.

“Ugh…”

By the way, maybe it’s because I hit it too hard.

He seemed speechless from the shock.

“What? Are you okay? That’s good.”

It would be fortunate if he didn’t die.

By the way, I offered a fair deal.

It seemed like there was no way out since he was being so violent.

I just stepped on Lee Won-jun’s head.

“It’s not going to get any better from now on.”

Honestly, I think I’ve done enough.

Didn’t our ancestors say that?

A stick is the best medicine for a disobedient dog.

He loaded his legs with mana and started beating him.

“Oh, this arm… bird…”

Of course, Lee Won-jun also tried to rebel in his own way.

“Dog─”

Barely at cadet level.

“Kill me─”

The horse that charged up its mana and strengthened its body before rushing in.

“%^#%$!!”

One trick was enough.

Of course, he’s lived in this world longer than me, and has trained for longer.

What can I do?

Natasha’s experience and senses, as well as her physical abilities enhanced with blood and mana extracted from hundreds of thousands of people to properly utilize them, were nothing he could surpass.

“…dog…s…fu…l”

But does he still have pride in his appearance?

There was no mention of asking for help or telling him to stop.

Rather, even now, with blood gushing out of the corner of his mouth, he was hanging on to my leg and trying to do something.

“Will you stop spitting blood on my shoes?”

If you use the Blood Ruler, you can only extract blood.

But don’t you hate the name “Blood-Stained” a little?

So I swung my foot and shook him off.

“B…d…eat…me…kill…me…”

Even though he flew away weakly like a puppet in a puppet show with strings pulled, he still seemed to be full of energy.

Even in that state, he looks at people with eyes full of life.

“Or rather, would you like to answer this phone call?”

I think it will be a good thing.

I looked down at him, crouched down in front of him, and held out my cell phone.

There was a video call connecting on the phone.

The opponent is.

[Is it Wonjun?]

Owner of the Won Group.

“father?”

Lee Won-jun opened his eyes wide in surprise and looked back and forth between the cell phone and me.

That’s understandable, because the person who beat him up like a dog suddenly called and connected him with his father.

It seemed like he didn’t understand what the cause and effect of this was.

[…Just follow me without saying anything.]

“…yes?”

[He told me to follow his words.]

“That, that… that… what…”

And it seemed even more incomprehensible as the words kept pouring out.

Of course, I came here to unify.

Would they have simply tried to force it through violence?

This is simple discipline.

It was nothing more than an education to be used as a long-term tool for later.

In other words, it tells us the hierarchy.

That type of person doesn’t listen well when you talk to them, and they cause trouble.

The numbers have already been prepared.

[I won’t say anything else. Just follow me.]

“Ah… Father… Can’t you… see… me? I was… beaten… by that… orphan… b*stard… so…”

[Be quiet! If you don’t follow, I will revoke your title as successor, so know that.]

“Father…? Ah─”

Lee Won-jun urgently reached out for his cell phone.

“Don’t get blood on my phone.”

I put the phone away and sat up.

At the same time, Lee Won-jun’s hand cut through the air. His injured body was unable to maintain its balance and fell down.

[Please.]

“Yes, I will tell my father and sister well.”

[…thank you.]

No matter how fast a company flies, the number one Lotus and number two Shinwha are putting pressure on it at the same time.

If it was obvious, it was an obvious choice.

“Then I’ll see you next time.”

[Yes, see you next time.]

The owner of the Leewon Group lowered his head with trembling eyes, and at that moment the call was disconnected.

“Do you know what to do now?”

“Tsk…tsk. You…manipulative…thing!!”

He denied it with all his might, cursing.

It seemed to me that it was absurd for me to be related to the owner of the Ewon Group.

Of course, you knew me as a simple orphan.

Suddenly it’s related to your father.

And that too from the perspective of a father.

“If you’re that suspicious, try calling again.”

“…”

That’s why I gave it a chance.

However, he could not move.

In fact, it was because he didn’t believe it mentally, but he knew it rationally.

The fact that the person I video-called was my father.

If only he knew his father too well, even if no one else did.

Face, speech, actions.

And where was the background that appeared behind the video call pointing?

“You can’t do it? Then I guess I’ll just have to admit it.”

Smile.

Lift your feet.

“Please take good care of me.”

And then he just stomped on the guy’s head.
