Became a Dark Merchant in the Academy

12 – Unfortunate Monster Runaway Incident_3

Xuen was dumbfounded by the nonsense.

That’s also because, just as he was about to leave after the lecture, something he never expected to happen in an ordinary academy, in which a monster appears in the classroom and causes a riot, unfolded before his eyes.

That’s why I was taken aback at first, and just as I was about to come to my senses, the cadets rushed back due to someone’s voice shouting.

And because of the crowd of cadets, Xuen was pushed back and pushed by the monster in front of the basilisk.

I had no choice but to stand.

“Ah…”

He couldn’t back down.

It was because the cadets were shouting for help and the Basilisk was aiming for Xuen as its first target, perhaps realizing that it was the strongest here.

“Damn it…”

But as Xuen, there was no way to do anything other than confront.

The Basilisk is definitely a powerful monster that can be called a novice hunter.

However, Xuen has been retired from active duty for quite some time, but she is said to be rotten, a professor at Laplace Academy.

Usually, I was confident that I could defeat even a few basilisks.

But that was a story when he was normally prepared, and now he didn’t have his main weapon, the sword, and he had a lot of cadets to protect, but he didn’t have the means to withstand the basilisk’s poison.

So the best thing we could do was to keep the basilisk in check so that it wouldn’t attack any more.

Wishing that someone would hear the commotion and come visit us.

I hope this confrontation doesn’t break…

Toouk!

By the time I realized that, it was already too late.

I don’t know who threw it.

“No…”

Xuen hurriedly stretched out her arm, but her jaw wouldn’t go away unless something ridiculous happened to turn back time.

The small, blunt gray stone hit the basilisk very naturally.

“Kyaaa!!!”

As a result, the tense confrontation was broken and the basilisk began to attack Xuen.

“Who is it?”

Xuen quickly pumped up her mana, focusing on her arms and legs.

Then I threw myself at the basilisk to stop the rush.

Boom!!

A roaring sound that could not be believed to be the sound of a human colliding with a monster hit the lecture room.

‘I don’t know who did it, but I have to stop it first’

I am a professor.

I know what to do.

And unexpectedly, this side may be better.

In the confrontation, if I moved first, I was at a disadvantage as I had something to protect, but if I held on to the basilisk like this, the cadets could escape, and the cadets who ran away would call for support.

“Go tell the professors hurry!!!”

So, among those fleeing to Honbibaeksan, it was Xuen who called out to the cadet closest to him and asked for help.

“Yes, Professor”

And Lee Seong-hyeon, who was asked to do so, left the lecture room with a grim resolution.

“Kuk!!!”

Not long after Seonghyeon Lee left, Xuen pulled back while frowning at him.

As if the basilisk decided that it couldn’t be done by force, it spewed poisonous smoke, and even though it was preparing for poison from the beginning, for some reason, even when it saw poisonous smoke coming out, it reacted one beat slowly and inhaled a little, deciding that it shouldn’t stay like this. Because I heard

But even if you inhale a little poison, poison is poison. Because of this, Xuen began to stagger as if his vision was not properly focused.

“Kyaaa!!!”

The basilisk screamed as if it wouldn’t let go of Xuen and rushed through the spreading poisonous mist.

“Ugh”

Xuen hurriedly twisted his body to avoid him, but due to the poisonous smoke that continued to spread, Xuen couldn’t breathe and had no choice but to keep running away.

However, there is a limit to holding your breath and running away while inhaling poison.

‘This is the end?’

At some point, pushed and pushed, Xuen realized that his back had reached the wall of the lecture hall.

‘I’m dying like this?’

It was nonsense.

Making a grand sacrifice for humanity at the gate

It’s not like enjoying heaven’s life

Because you couldn’t prepare for a monster suddenly attacking while giving a lecture and didn’t prepare a weapon or an antidote?

‘I’ll go to Laplace Academy someday, so until then—’

No.

It can’t be.

However, even if I tried to move my body, my body wouldn’t listen, perhaps because of the poison I kept inhaling.

Mana didn’t follow me either, probably because of my blurry mind.

In addition to that, my senses were twisted from a while ago, and I allowed the Basilisk to attack again and again.

Now the hope is…

‘Xiaomei…’

Leave that child alone…

My vision was dark.

“Kyaaa!!!!!!!!!!”

That moment.

I heard the basilisk’s scream.

Xuen opened her eyes, which had been closed for unknown reasons.

“Professor Xuen, are you okay?”

“Are you okay?”

With the figure of the basilisk flying far away

A person looking down at himself with a smile and a worried person

I saw one cadet with an expression on his face.

It was Lee Nam-bong and Lee Seong-hyeon.

“By the way, if a professor is pushed by something like a basilisk, Laplace Academy will lose face, doesn’t it?”

It wasn’t recognized right away because of the poison, but Xuen soon realized that support had come.

Those who came to support were the professors and cadets they hated the most, but did they care about that now?

No, they were the ones I would most like now.

Aren’t they the ones who saved my life no matter what anyone says?

Xuen let out a sigh of relief.

“Lee…Professor…”

“Don’t tell me yet, isn’t it full of poison? Give the antidote potion to Professor Xuen, student Seonghyeon.”

At Nambong Lee’s words, Seonghyeon Lee took out a small glass bottle from his pocket and handed it to Xuen.

Xuen unstopped the vial and quickly poured it into his mouth.

Then the blurred vision gradually returned to its place.

However, after inhaling the poison for a long time, his body did not move immediately.

My lungs hurt a little, but considering it was a process of detoxification, there was no problem anywhere.

“I couldn’t… you looked like a cheek…”

“So, you must be in charge of class C, but aren’t you?”

“…Only this time…I’ll get over it…Professor Lee…”

“Hmph, the subject who was almost killed by the basilisk survived.”

“…”

“Kaaagh!!!”

Lee Nam-bong and Xuen stared at me, but held their breath at the sound of the basilisk.

“Your body won’t be normal yet, so I’ll take care of that. You can rest there.”

And Nambong Lee turned around and started running towards the basilisk.

A roar rang out at the same time.

Xuen chased after that figure.

“Are you okay?”

“The antidote potion you gave me seems to be getting better, thank you very much”

“No, I just did what I had to do”

“No, if it weren’t for you… I might have ended up here.”

“This is too much praise. It’s nothing compared to the professor’s unreasonable efforts to protect us. “

Xuen looked at Lee Seong-hyeon, who was guarding his seat next to him, taking precautions just in case.

It seems there has been a misunderstanding.

If you think about it, wasn’t that the result of your own mistakes?

Anyone who thinks of a friend deserves such an attitude.

‘I didn’t want to admit my mistake…’

Xuen reflected on his attitude.

Then Lee Seong-hyun started to look different.

If you think about it, he is the only cadet who has succeeded in being promoted in the K class.

There was a good chance that it would go up further.

Is that all? The attitude of listening to lectures is also very sincere.

Why were you so mean to a cadet who studied hard enough to give the right answer to a surprise question and even had the ability?

“This time… I will repay you generously…”

“It’s okay. You don’t have to.”

“No… I will definitely repay you… But there is no immediate reciprocation… Oh, come to think of it, you’re 20 years old, so why don’t you meet my daughter…? My name is Xiaomei… I’m applying to Laplace Academy next year… But… If it’s you… You’re qualified enough…”

I thought it might have been a little overdone, but he was the one who saved my life.

First of all, it was acceptable to meet and talk.

Of course, several conditions are needed to go further, but the minimum conditions have been met.

“I see…Xiaomeira…”

At the words of Seonghyeon Lee, who showed interest, Xuen kept talking.

However, the more I spoke, the more I felt out of breath.

“Do you see this…? This necklace…Is a gift from that child…Later I…Find someone who will be my husband…”

“mmm that’s right, that’s a good thing”

“By the way, I am short of breath…a bit…short of breath…and somehow I feel sleepy…”

“Sleep comfortably. Now is the time to rest.”

“Then…For a moment…I’m going to rest…”

I was dizzy.

The feeling of being dragged into the deep sea.

Xuen’s eyes began to close slowly.

She had a sudden thought that she shouldn’t fall asleep.

There was no need to worry.

Professor Lee Nam-bong looks so lax like that, but he used to be in charge of Class A

Isn’t there someone who will be there to protect you?

There was no need to worry.

“Good night”

I’ll be sure to return it later…

“I will make Miss Xiaomei happy.”
