Became a Dark Merchant in the Academy

28 – Yeon Eun-ryeong_3

It’s not that easy to commit murder.

It’s not even self-revenge, it’s all the more so if someone instigates murder and follows it.

That’s also why Yeon Eun-ryeong is not a member of any villain organization, and it’s not like his head is spinning.

Of course, using her desperation as bait and showing her the price.

Although she did make the mind a little drained.

Murder means to an ordinary human being.

Murder means to someone who grew up in a cage and learned the law and morals.

It was like a taboo that couldn’t be broken.

But breaking is the taboo.

“Sung…Hyunah…”

Crying.

Tears flowed from his blood-splattered face.

I could see Danggeum shaking his body as if he had forgotten that it was summer.

‘Ah…’

It’s so good.

It was a beautiful picture.

The dream of becoming a hero in the near future, dreaming of becoming a hero, imagining a future full of happiness and working hard, commits his first murder and is trembling in fear when the fact is discovered.

It felt like watching the last works of old artists while drinking the finest liquor that the gods drink.

My body trembled slightly, very slightly.

How hard was it?

Lower the notion of morality.

To cross the line.

Without anyone’s help, he continued to push the situation to the limit and induce it, and the opponent was also carefully selected, so he chose someone who did not feel guilty even if he killed him.

Is that all?

By tailing, he distorted his perception and made him deviate.

And the result is as you can see.

Yeon Eun-ryeong committed murder.

The greatest taboo since human history was created, laws were created, and morality was established.

She did something that was too easy for some but the hardest for others.

If this is discovered, what will be left for her?

It is endless despair.

It’s a hell where you can’t get out anymore.

The death penalty, life imprisonment, a minimum of 5 years.

Of course, that is the punishment of the original world, and the punishment of this world is different, but

There will be essentially no difference.

“Ah, ah, ah…”

And now, as if realizing that fact, he began to cry endlessly and painfully.

“It’s OK”

I approached Yeon Eun-ryeong, who was trembling, and pulled her tightly into her seat.

And then I gently brushed my back.

The tremors subsided little by little.

Tears and runny nose were smeared on clothes along with blood.

“Think of it as a nightmare, I will help you.”

“But…But…I…”

The sound of crying is like heavenly music.

A very lovely figure.

I smiled hard as if to reassure him.

“Nothing happened.”

Nothing happened.

Let’s continue.

Never ending nightmare.

“This is a dream and I will help you wake up from it.”

I can’t wake up.

Forever.

Even if the bloodstained hands lose their color, the memories embedded in your brain will not be erased.

“Can you trust me?”

I’ll show you a happy dream.

“Yes”

I have a knife that sharpens well.

**

‘I’ll find a way somehow, so don’t fall for the villain’s words, okay?’

That night, after talking with the black robe, Lee Seong-hyun said so on the way back.

That’s right.

To commit murder is nonsense.

Unbelievable…

‘Cadet Yeon Eun-ryeong, aren’t you in a bad mood these days? In this state…’

The professor said.

I thought he said it out of concern because his form these days seems so bad.

Yeon Eun-ryeong, who knew the reason for her poor grades, could not go over it lightly.

‘I’m sure the amount of mana has decreased considerably compared to the previous record. In this case…’

The result of the hospital check-up, which I received once again, was only half the amount of mana detected compared to when I entered the academy.

‘I heard there is no such person. Look here, only cadet Yeon Eun-ryeong and cadet Lee Seong-hyeon appear on the CCTV.

‘So you’re going to induce the existence of a black robe that doesn’t matter when it comes out or whether it comes out in the first place? And asking him to catch him is out of the question…’

Even when I borrowed help, his expression was sullen.

There was no evidence anywhere.

Do not move.

‘Eunryeong-ah, what do you mean dropping out? Yes, Laplace Academy will be difficult, but if you persevere, you will be able to do it. Mom trusts Eun-ryung, so let her try harder, okay?’

I couldn’t lean on anything.

Disappear.

Mana was disappearing.

So.

This was just to hear more stories.

Just as there was a way even if it wasn’t money, I thought there would be a way even if it wasn’t murder.

‘You’re back. How are you willing to accept my offer?’

That’s not true.

It can’t be.

Murder…

‘Well, didn’t you make up your mind to become a hero or a hunter someday? That’s why you joined Laplace Academy. Heroes and hunters kill villains for self-defense, for ordinary people, and for the sake of a greater cause. Don’t you think it’s a contradiction? Just think of this as a rehearsal.”

Rehearsal, how can you save people’s lives…

‘Three murders, multiple s*xual assaults, multiple thefts, looting and arson, a total of 19 cases. Yes? Oh what are you talking about?

…

‘Ah, this is so… The money buried in the nose of a sad child who lost his parents to such a heinous person…’

I didn’t want to hear it.

The more I listen to it, the more I think I can kill a person like that, and if I do that, I think I can return to my original state, so…

‘Ah, well, I can’t help it if you don’t accept my offer. Still, isn’t it said that the human heart is a reed?’

He handed me a piece of paper and said.

‘If you feel like it, do it. I’ll wait.’

I can’t.

I have no jaw to do.

I can’t… I can’t…

Disappear. Disappear. Disappear. Disappear. Disappear. Disappear.

Disappeared─

Since you’ve been sluggish for nearly a month, when rumors pop up.

When you try to deny it, but you can’t reach it.

What is Murder?

Murder?

Killing people?

What happens when you kill someone?

I couldn’t remember.

Why shouldn’t you kill in the first place?

I know.

No, I don’t know.

Somehow I think I’ll remember, but I can’t.

Was it punished?

Why?

Innocent.

Not innocent.

Defense.

In doubt. On suspicion. In doubt. On suspicion. In doubt. In disbelief. To the meeting.

Once I came to my senses, I was looking to see if the information on the paper the black robe gave me was true.

Seek and find.

When you reach the truth.

At the point of realizing that the words were true.

Blood was splattering.

When a person dies, that kind of agony comes out.

I can’t even scream properly, I can’t help but open my mouth, and hot blood flows down and splashes, and the feeling of contact with your face is unpleasant aaane his face, though he couldn’t scream properly, hot blood flowed down and splattered on his face…

“Eunryeong-ah…?”

And I was caught.

I caught a scene that I shouldn’t have caught.

Why are you here?

Why did you only show this scene at this time?

My head didn’t turn properly.

I felt like I was alone in a thick fog.

No.

Even if I tried to cover it with all my might, I could never cover it all.

Blood splattered on the face.

Blood dripped from the sword he was holding.

On the floor was a thick sea of hot liquid.

“You, no way!!”

Please don’t look at me like that.

I’m begging you. How did this turn out?

“Sung…Hyunah…”

Please, even me…

“It’s OK”

It was warm.

It was so warm that I could never forget it again.

If you want to surrender to the feeling of gently brushing your back.

That’s why, when you finally clear your head and think about what you’ve committed.

I couldn’t stop the trembling that came out.

“Ah, ah, ah…”

I cried endlessly.

“It’s okay, just think it was a nightmare and I will help you.”

“But…But…I…”

I committed a crime.

That cannot be denied.

I can still feel the feeling of digging into the flesh in my hands.

“Nothing happened.”

I can’t do that.

I can’t…

“This is a dream and I will help you wake up from it.”

A dream…?

Is this really a dream…?

“Can you trust me?”

Ah…

“Yes.”

**

From now on, Yeon Eun-ryeong is my sword.

I had to take care of it properly because it had a bit of a dull feel to it, but it wasn’t bad at all.

Of course, it was burdensome to wield in the academy, so I could only use it to wipe out those who were interfering with securing business territory outside.

A man who will take his sins with him and disappear.

“You did… You said… You did…”

I saw Yeon Eun-ryeong crying and praying.

“How much do you think the elixir of awakening is? Did you really think you could get it for just that much?”

Those who have eaten the devil’s elixir cannot return to their original state.

You should be able to return to normal if you take the real Elixir of Awakening, but I don’t have the Elixir of Awakening either.

So Yeon Eun-ryeong can’t come back.

But it doesn’t say that.

I still have a lot of work to do.

“And you weren’t the only one who cleaned up the work, were you? Did you say cadet Lee Seong-hyun? Do you know that he helped?”

“That…”

“How do you know? That’s the one I told him late at night looking for you that he’d be there when he got there. You don’t have to thank him. Aren’t you comfortable with having an accomplice thanks to that?”

I sent a photo to Yeon Eun-ryeong.

It was a picture of Yeon Eun-ryeong burying a body in the ground somewhere in an abandoned building.

“It was filmed well, right?”

“How to…”

“Did I just leave the job to you?”

“…”

“No, I’m not trying to blame the two people for handling the work. Whether it’s two people or ten people, it’s just a matter of handling it, but that’s the case. As you can see, the evidence somehow ended up in my hands. What if I report it in this state? Since you’re a student at Laplace Academy, you don’t have to tell me, but you and the person who helped you get along well… Aww…”

Yeon Eun-ryeong’s sudden rush, I dodged her by taking a step to the side, then tripped her and knocked her over.

I sat down on it.

“What are you doing?”

“─!!!”

Yeon Eun-ryeong tried her best to get away, but with her little mana, she couldn’t push me away with her sheer strength.

In the end, as if she realized that she couldn’t do anything, her strength gradually began to drain.

“I’m sorry… I did it. I didn’t get any… Help from anyone…”

And then I started begging, even though no one would listen.

“Didn’t you get help from anyone? Can you clearly see that they are helping to dump the corpse like this?”

I took out another clearer picture from her arms and waved it in front of Yeon Eun-ryeong.

Then Yeon Eun-ryeong was unable to speak properly as if her throat was hanging.

Looks in despair.

My expression was distorted, and tears flowed endlessly.

I realized that it was no longer my own business.

I realized that I had dragged the person who helped me to hell when everyone turned away due to my wrongdoing.

Guilt. Regret.

In addition to that, there is a love affair that seems to be hidden but is subtly visible.

All kinds of emotions were colored and mixed, and only black darkness was visible.

“…Please… Yo… Anything… I’ll…”

In the end, Yeon Eun-ryeong, who was suffocated and had no place to escape, lost her hope and gave up everything.

It was as planned.

Originally, if you have something to protect, you will become weak.

He even committed a murder there.

For anything, the first step is the most difficult, but I passed the first step safely.

Now you will get used to it and become dull.

“Smile. Don’t you think I’m doing something wrong? I’m nothing more than a mere trader trying to get a fair price.”

It’s sad to see him smile while crying.

It’s not something I’d ever see for the rest of my life, but it was a face I wanted to see for a week or so.

“That’s good. If you faithfully respond to my proposal, I will give you a gift and keep quiet. Then, the next request is—”

If you use it moderately and don’t get caught, it would be nice to experiment with that magic tool as a test partner.

“Thank you very much.”

It was a good day.
