Became a Dark Merchant in the Academy

29 – Yeon Eun-ryeong_4

Humans are creatures of adaptation.

The same goes for Yeon Eun-ryeong.

The murder that was so painful at first.

At this point, when the second, then the third, and the tenth time had passed, instead of reacting as passionately as the first time, it was only gradually becoming dull, crushed, worn out, and expressionless.

But I know.

Actually, on the day he returned after being forced to commit murder under the threat of the black robe, he could come to me and cry and whine.

Even so, if you ask me why, maybe you don’t want me to find out about such a thing, but I answer vaguely, saying that I had a nightmare.

‘I know everything.’

It is strange not to know.

I was the one who made that happen.

But I didn’t bother to show off.

Colorful emotions.

Even if you try to pretend to be strong, you are weak inside.

Although I always thought I wanted to forcefully reveal my inner flesh.

If you use it well, there is no other tool that is as fun as this one.

However, that was not too far off.

Yeon Eun-ryeong’s body, which ate the devil’s elixir, steadily eroded mana.

Now, there was only a handful of mana left, like a candle that would go out if the call was blown.

As a result, Yeon Eun-ryeong, who had never shown her face in lectures because of her continued sluggish academy grades and recent murders and the aftermath, continued to receive warnings from the academy.

In addition to that, no matter how many times you commit murder against criminals, it’s not just one or two, but if you do it in dozens of cases, you’ll get caught.

The hero of justice who sniffed the smell shows up.

Hope gradually disappears.

She tried her best to get away.

By the time she was going to add to her doubts about where the exit was, where it was, and whether it even existed.

The end was approaching.

**

Now I can’t even guess how it ended up like this.

But one thing was certain: she had no place to escape.

She committed a crime.

She was stained with a lot of blood.

Even if it’s just for someone.

Even if that blood is the blood of beings who shouldn’t exist in this world.

Unpleasant, disgusting, burning pain.

She tried to wipe off the stain, but it wouldn’t.

She seems to have succeeded in wiping it off with effort.

Cannot be erased.

Determination, beliefs, dreams, and hopes all crumbled.

When I wonder if it’s really nothing now.

When I look at my expressionless face in the mirror.

I was startled, but my body was shaking.

She was aware that things would get better in no time.

‘Ah-‘

I’m used to it.

It’s ugly.

So I couldn’t stand it any longer.

It was because there were people who said it was okay to have such an existence, and there were people who said it was okay to have hope.

But the end was approaching.

Unlike dolls that commit murder at someone’s command.

A hero driven by conviction was approaching.

In the near future, an incident will come to this place.

Soon you will pay for your sins.

So I had to put an end to it.

Don’t let him and his family suffer in the slightest.

Just let the story end with the deviation and despair of an academy cadet.

“I don’t like…”

There were many things I wanted to do.

There were many things I wanted to achieve.

Like everyone else.

I also wanted to try dating.

I wanted to eat delicious food that I couldn’t eat because I was on a diet.

Is that all?

Being famous someday.

Receiving admiration.

Receiving love.

Like that and like that.

With hope, I dreamed of a life full of light.

Of course, I knew I wouldn’t be able to achieve everything I had dreamed of.

I wonder if it can be achieved to some extent? With the thought.

Imagining in a precious daily life that is nothing special and boring and ordinary.

I regret being seduced by a handful of mirages that I dreamed of escaping.

“…I hate it, I hate it…”

There was no way to escape even if I cried.

No matter how much I denied it, I could only see a single road.

There was no other way.

Blurry vision.

The softness of the cloth wrapped around the neck.

Below is a chair that looks like it will be half your height.

If you kick it lightly.

Slowly—.

‘Who—’

Anyone is welcome.

Help me.

Please.

Please let me…

‘Seong Hyun-ah…’

“!@#$%─”

A distant thud was heard.

I heard a warm voice.

The nostalgic face was blurred.

‘Ah-‘

You came.

**

I saw Yeon Eun-ryeong dying slowly after hanging herself in her room in the dormitory.

My body wanted to live against my will, so I struggled and trembled.

Looking at the eyes already turned upside down and the mouth starting to bubble, it seemed impossible to escape on its own.

I have two options.

One is to save Yeon Eun-ryeong.

It is safe to say that there is little to gain from this.

Rather, I dared to bring out the fact that the case could have been concluded with the suicide of the perpetrator and erased all the evidence, but I could also be involved.

Of course, I thought of using it as a test subject for magic tools and newly acquired skills.

‘Desperately?’

There is Yuri Han, and there are also class K cadets.

Is that all? You can also take advantage of Oh Seong-jin or drug addicts.

The other is to leave it as it is.

This was a huge benefit.

Of course, it bothered me a little to have to break a tool that was still useful.

It is questionable whether I should refuse to take all my sins and disappear like a saint somewhere.

But.

‘Ehh…’

I’m too nice to wear.

Cut off the knot that supports the neck at once and accept Yeon Eun-ryeong as it is.

At first, she thought she wasn’t breathing, but when she stimulated her body with mana, she began to breathe heavily.

Originally, if you hang yourself, you lose consciousness quickly, but it takes a long time to die, so Yeon Eun-ryeong was unharmed.

‘I can’t help it. If this happens, I’ll have to proceed the way I originally planned.’

What you saved is what you saved.

I can’t hang myself here again, can I?

There’s nothing you can’t do, but Yeon Eun-ryeong didn’t make a big mistake.

I was able to overcome the fact that my tail was stepped on by a hero.

The hero he was chasing was a hero he knew all too well, so it was certain that if she spread some tempting information, he would prioritize it over cases for which the evidence was still unclear.

Erase the evidence one by one.

If you match the words and flatten the story, nothing will happen.

Since I’ve been thinking about that and that, quite a bit of time has passed.

Yeon Eun-ryeong, who had cut my knee on the bed in moderation, opened her eyes softly.

I greeted her while managing her expression appropriately.

“Are you okay?”

“Ah…”

Yeon Eun-ryeong gently raised her hand and touched my cheek.

As if trying to distinguish between real and false, over and over again.

“It wasn’t a dream… it wasn’t… a dream…”

And muttered a few times.

And then I started blinking a few times.

“Did you hope it was a dream?”

I didn’t care anyway.

“No, that’s not it… But…”

Yeon Eun-ryeong vigorously shook her head.

“Can you tell me why?”

“That is…”

Hesitating.

Since that day, he has committed several murders, and the story that the hero is after him doesn’t seem to come out easily.

If you can honestly say why you want to commit suicide, you won’t choose to kill yourself. It’s a natural result, but trust, faith, hope, love, all positive emotions come from sharing.

[I activate Lv.1.]

[If you have faith, you will repay with faith.]

[Memories are a little distorted.]

I recently activated a newly acquired skill.

“It’s okay.”

And just one word.

Give her a word she would have loved to hear.

Then Eun-ryeong’s mouth began to open as if the balloon that had risen to the point of inflating her was spitting out the air inside her in all directions, as if it had been pricked by a needle.

Why are you helping yourself so much?

It was just a simple greed.

But why…

Mana is running out.

I committed a crime.

It was stained with blood.

Not the last time.

I have done that many times.

It was because of threats.

The hero is chasing you.

Rumors, bullying, hope, despair, and even small, trivial stories.

Listen. Listen and nod your head.

Holds the weeping body.

Wipe away your tears and pat them.

Dig in.

Cut it down.

And tell me again.

You are fine.

“It’s okay. Are you okay. You did nothing wrong.”

Distort and distort.

It twists and turns.

[Unknown Lv.20 Is activated.]

[A little out of all awareness and cognition.]

Changing perceptions and distorting perceptions.

Planting a new story.

Change and change.

Now, now.

Be complete.

Make flowers bloom splendidly.

Eating images.

Eating memories.

Cognitive warping.

By changing perception.

“Only trust me.”

I have a smile on my face.

“Yes, I will only trust you.”

Splendid flowers bloomed.

It also has very beautiful flowers.
