Became a Dark Merchant in the Academy

231 – Intermission_19

Lee Yu-rin, the leader of Team 1 of the Republic of Korea Heroes Association, was secretly carrying out a mission under the orders of the association president.

That is, observing two students currently attending Laplace Academy.

The pretext was to protect them in case the villains found out about the large-scale gate terror attack and the remnants could harm them.

‘…but that’s not all.’

embrace.

There is another reason for this observation.

If it was simply because of the villain remnants’ sabotage, deploying only 12 team leaders to the association would have been overkill.

That was a fact that not only Lee Yu-rin but also the president of the association was well aware of.

‘What could it be?’

That’s why I was worried for a few days after receiving the mission.

It’s not like I can’t guess.

Because those two did it inside the gate.

And because he himself never reported that fact in the end.

He could have been demoted or punished for it.

It was something that only three people knew, but I thought it might be possible for an S-class hero to know.

But if it’s for demotion, I just observe without any special mission.

It didn’t feel right to keep the position of team leader, and it was strange to let those cadets go like this.

That’s why I thought it was to protect the unknown person from the future that was revealed later.

Even if you have a rare ability, you are not a pioneer in this ability and are merely unknown.

I wondered if the president of the association had given me this mission for that reason.

‘I don’t know. It’s great that I received 5 special invitations, but…’

Yurin shook her head.

If there were any clues, I wouldn’t know.

It seemed impossible to find out anything more than this.

Now, I had no choice but to faithfully carry out the duties assigned to me by the association president.

‘I can’t help it.’

There were also personal reasons.

It was to see for myself what kind of people those cadets were.

It may be possible to roughly analyze it with the information collected, but the true nature of it usually comes out unconsciously.

I know it’s funny to say this to myself, having once closed my eyes to achieve my goal.

But the fact that he was a hero remained unchanged.

You can’t go over it twice.

Because revenge and private sanctions that go beyond the law and qualifications only cause chaos in society.

That’s how the observation began.

However, this does not mean that we observed closely for 24 hours like in a documentary.

Although he didn’t have much work to do due to his duties as the association president, he still had basic duties as the association’s team leader.

If the association’s team leader follows one cadet around, no matter how careful you are, rumors will spread around the neighborhood.

Basically, we took turns observing using machines and subordinates.

Of course, there were times when I took the initiative.

And the evaluation was as follows.

The cadet who committed the crime, named Xiaomei, was an amazing cadet.

The student named Lee Seong-hyeon…

‘It’s strange.’

At first glance, it was hard to believe that a guy like him, with his handsome face, good personality, and ability to receive five special invitations, would have aided and abetted such a thing.

But the more I looked, the more something seemed strange.

It was a bit ambiguous to say exactly what it was.

Her intuition, having solved many cases as a hero, was telling her something.

That’s why he left the cadet named Xiaomei to his subordinates and focused on observing Lee Seonghyeon.

Today was an extension of that.

‘Should I touch the table?’

‘No, don’t touch it.’

‘Why? Do you still not trust me?’

‘huh.’

‘This is too much!! We even signed a contract!! We’re like a family, we’re one in spirit, now it’s no exaggeration to say we’re a married couple!!’

At first I thought it was some kind of play.

From things like regressor and possessed person.

Whether it’s drugs, being crushed to death, or manipulating votes.

It was because I heard some ridiculous things.

‘…By the way, you ended up not using it?’

‘Because there is no reason to use it.’

That’s it?

‘Really? It’s a shame. I wanted to show my bursting feelings towards you, senior.’

‘No need.’

‘Then there’s nothing I can do. I can’t force you. But more than that, next…’

‘That wouldn’t be so bad.’

‘Right? The faster the better. So what happens then…’

‘You can handle that.’

I couldn’t hear it well.

If it was a crowded cafe, I could have just gone in and pretended not to hear anything.

If you go into a cafe with only two customers and listen carefully, you can’t help but notice.

It was because I was listening with my hearing enhanced by Mana, sitting a little away from the cafe.

‘Oh, is that okay?’

‘It’ll all be finished within two years anyway.’

‘Wouldn’t it be better to hurry a little more?’

‘Because their growth is slow.’

‘What about the keys? … I need to find two more besides that one.’

‘There must be one.’

Finished in 2 years?

key?

I had no idea what they were talking about.

But the more she listened to the story, the more goosebumps appeared on Yurin’s spine.

‘Oh… Did I get caught?’

‘If you make it obvious, there’s no way I wouldn’t know. And they’ll probably have one.’

‘That’s true.’

‘That’s why it takes time, because if you force it to awaken, you’ll have no choice but to play a game of chance.’

‘It’s time to play the undercover game. Okay. I’ll do it. But it seems like there’s an older rat cub eavesdropping on me…’

‘It’s okay. That’s…’

Baby rat?

new year…

“I’m just going to touch it up a bit now.”

“!!?”

Yurin looked around anxiously at the sound ringing in her ears.

And then I noticed a couple standing right behind me.

“Then, aren’t you a little anxious? If you think about it, you might realize it later.”

“What should I do?”

“It’s easier to clean up.”

“You’ll notice, right?”

“Do you think I’d just clean it up? There’s a way.”

One is Lee Seong-hyeon.

Another one was a pink-haired woman.

The pink-haired woman giggled and approached Yurin.

As we get closer, step by step.

The pink-haired girl’s appearance began to change.

His height increased, his clothes changed, and finally his face changed.

“This is how it should be done.”

And right in front of Yurin was Yurin.

“you guys…”

“you guys…”

“The identity is…”

“The identity is…”

Yurin raised her mana in surprise at the sound of her own voice echoing in the same tone.

Then he threw his fist at ‘Lee Yu-rin’.

But all that passed was the wind.

“How is it, senior?”

“Not bad.”

“Right? It’s a bit difficult to perfectly implement everything from fingerprints to voices. But if you take breaks in between to replenish your mana, you can do it for about 3 hours a day without any problems.”

The reason why Lee Yurin was clearly in front was nowhere to be seen.

‘Lee Yu-rin’ was next to Lee Seong-hyeon.

“…what.”

Yurin Lee didn’t understand.

“Who the hell are you guys?”

A chill ran down my spine.

I felt like I was having a bad dream.

“well.”

“!?”

Yurin Lee stepped back at the sudden touch of a hand touching her face.

‘I didn’t feel it coming.’

It was definitely at least 10 meters away.

However, at some point, ‘Lee Yu-rin’ was right in front of me.

“Is there a reason I should tell you?”

‘Lee Yu-rin’ laughed heartily.

A series of incomprehensible events.

Yurin Lee’s brain began to mobilize all of its knowledge to understand the abnormal phenomenon.

And the only thing that came out was this.

‘Ability…?’

I thought it might be some kind of fantasy magic.

The ability was certain.

Illusion magic is nothing more than manipulating light to deceive the eyes.

It could never have a physical form.

But the ‘Lee Yu-rin’ right in front of me was real.

‘Not one.’

And ‘Lee Yu-rin’ didn’t have just one talent.

two.

Something that changed in appearance and suddenly disappeared.

‘Multiple abilities?’

I’ve heard that it exists.

‘Why is there a multi-talented person in a place like this, when there aren’t even 10 of them in the whole world…’

There was no time to think.

The minimum for a multi-talented person is A-class.

However, the appearance of ‘Lee Yu-rin’ was by no means inferior to her.

What if Lee Seong-hyeon gets involved too?

If it had anything to do with such a being, then everything we knew so far had to be turned into a blank sheet of paper.

‘…’

At first, I thought it might be a misunderstanding or a bad prank.

That wasn’t it.

There was no room for misunderstanding, and we weren’t close enough to joke around.

First of all, I don’t know exactly.

I have a feeling it’s going to happen.

Something is about to happen at Laplace Academy.

That’s why I thought I had to subdue them as a hero.

I quickly realized that it was impossible.

In that case, there was only one best option left.

‘I have to tell you.’

Yurin Lee quickly made a decision.

This is inside the academy.

If you run away a little, you will be able to call for help.

So I immediately turned around and focused my mana on my legs.

And then he shot his body.

The scenery begins to change in an instant.

To this extent…

“Hey, aren’t you going to attack?”

‘Lee Yu-rin’ sighed as if she had lost all energy.

“Then there’s nothing we can do.”

And your own voice ringing in your ears.

But the voice wasn’t his own.

Yurin turned her head in the direction where the sound came from.

Then, I noticed ‘Lee Yu-rin’ running alongside me with an annoyed expression on her face.

-!

Yurin was surprised, so she hurriedly gathered Mana and threw her fist.

“I won’t kill you right away, since I need your memories.”

It was lightly blocked.

“How…”

“Please stop making a fuss. It’s bothering the people around you.”

At the same time, my vision began to blur.
