Became a Dark Merchant in the Academy

34 – Club_5

There was a small misunderstanding.

No, it was a misunderstanding that wouldn’t even be called a misunderstanding.

He knows that too, so if he can just talk, it will be released.

He simply felt responsible and guilty that this had happened because he had brought the girls, so it was clear that if he took them off, they would return to their original state.

“…There are many conditions for a gate to run out of control and overflow. The mana in the core, called the heart within, is oversaturated…”

So he wanted to visit him and clear up the misunderstanding, but the lecture was too long.

And the ticking of the ticking clock, which I couldn’t hear from, was so loud that I was very annoyed.

‘Quickly…’

Yesterday and this morning, I was confused about what to do, so I couldn’t catch him in the end, but after this lecture, I had to go and talk to him somehow.

Actually, he said that he would come after a while without having to go looking for him, so he knew that it would be easy to solve if we talked.

Just as knowing and practicing are different, it was hard to bear when he didn’t know when he would come and thought of the club time without him.

‘Because I did something wrong.’

Because I am a senior.

Because it’s the manager.

He should have known to be generous and relaxed.

He gave him an ugly look.

I won’t apologize to them.

Still, I had to apologize for ruining his fun club time by showing an ugly appearance.

“So, if you see signs of gate congestion, you should evacuate right away. No matter how low a gate is, if it starts to run congested, basically 3 levels are added to the gate level, and a level 1 gate, which is a lower gate among lower gates, is a level 4 gate level. The dangers of…”

But there was no sign of the end.

As if the bottomless pit had fallen, as if I was lost forever in Anglerfish Island, the lecture was long.

So when I went to visit him, I tried to make an appointment by contacting him by phone in advance to avoid crossing paths.

‘Ah…’

When I tried to contact him, I didn’t even know his number.

I’ve been with the club for a month, but I don’t even know the number…

There was no point in being stupid.

‘Why… Didn’t I ask?’

Nise Akari spewed out her stupidity and bit off the thumb nail of his right hand.

Ever since he was a child, he has a habit of doing it often when he is anxious or anxious.

Since that day, he thought that it was a habit he had overcome because it was no longer a habit, but it seemed to be a big mistake.

Anxiety.

Irritability.

Horror.

Obviously, I think it will work out if I just talk about it, but in one part of my mind, the story doesn’t work out, so I thought of what to do if he doesn’t come back.

‘No…’

No.

There is no such thing.

Nise Akari shook his head.

Seonghyun Lee.

Seonghyun is…

I had a fishy iron taste in my mouth.

“Okay then, let’s finish this lecture. As you all know, it’s a dungeon, or gate practice, soon. Since this event is aimed at all cadets, it is tailored to the first year level, so the level of difficulty is honestly low, but it still has a significant impact on the promotion score…”

It’s over.

After the darkness in the long tunnel, I saw hope at the end.

“Then I’ll see you tomorrow at the lecture.”

The front door of the classroom opens and closes.

– Bang!

At the same time, the back door of the classroom opened and then closed.

“Akari…?”

And inside the 2-B classroom where Akari Nise left.

A cadet of 2-B.

Anjerot said he wondered if he had seen anything wrong.

To think that calm Nise Akari would look like that?

“Is there something urgent?”

I wondered if I was in a hurry to go to the bathroom.

No matter how you think about it, that wasn’t the case.

Recalling it, he had an expression of whining about something throughout the lecture, even from the time he left the dormitory.

That’s why at first I thought it was the same day, so I stayed still, but the date didn’t match.

So I tried to ask what was going on right after the lecture, but Akari kicked out the classroom door faster than she opened her mouth to ask.

“…Should I find out?”

Akari has been her classmate and best friend ever since she was in first grade.

She is happy that her juniors have joined her club these days. She was thinking about what she should teach her. .

“I’m anxious.”

There was no precedent for her to show such an appearance.

That’s why Anzeroth was a bit uneasy.

And for some reason, I had a feeling that I shouldn’t leave her in this state.

It was an ominous premonition.

She didn’t tell anyone, let alone tell, but Anjeroth’s premonitions often came true from an early age.

There were often cases where they matched perfectly as if they had seen the future.

Of course, there are times when she doesn’t fit, so she just wondered if she was lucky that way.

Still, the anxiety felt so intensely was unprecedented.

A deep, dark abyss with no bottom in sight.

Even when I was still, I felt something huge that swallowed me and everything.

And stare at it all the time.

Chills rose just by looking at it.

It was horror.

At the same time, goose bumps rose up on my back.

I didn’t want to approach that.

I shouldn’t have approached that.

I had to run away.

If you couldn’t escape, you had to hide in a rat hole as if the rat was dead.

Don’t stick your head out.

I shouldn’t have been caught.

You should not be found out more than anyone else…

It’s coming. Coming. Coming. Coming. Coming.

It’s coming. Coming. Coming. Coming. Coming.

It’s coming. Coming. Coming. Coming. Coming.

At that moment, something appeared in my mind like a video.

[Ah, are you watching?]

What…

[You don’t have to know yet.]

What…

[By the way, I thought he was a Wisdom type, but this kind of power… Is it fun? ]

In the dark…

The serpent that devours the world was smiling faintly.

It’s coming.

Wrapped and held.

And he himself was so afraid of it at first,

The closer I got, the more the fear disappeared.

[Will you help?]

Ah, my dear %$^

Anything you want.

“!!?!#!@@#$?!!”

Unknown words came out of my mouth.

Hopefully wished.

What do you want?

And what the heck is that video about?

Everything was confusing.

But one thing was certain.

I couldn’t leave Akari in this state.

You must go after them unconditionally and help them.

I need to meet him.

The ‘fear’ I felt before was no longer there.

No, it’s not fear.

Love.

Hope.

I was there.

There was a cradle that I was so happy that I didn’t want to leave anymore.

‘I… To you…’

Emotions are overlaid.

Memories are reversed.

Everything—

“What’s wrong with Anje?”

“Ah”

“???”

At the sudden voice of his friend, Anzeroth shuddered as if waking from a dream.

What is that?

What was it?

What the hell?

“No, no… Nothing.”

“Yeah…? By the way, what’s wrong with Akari?”

“That is…”

I don’t know.

I didn’t even want to know.

“Akari…”

Who are you trying to date?

Anzeroth left blankly and followed with her eyes the traces of Akari Nise, who was no longer there.

**

But we couldn’t meet each other often.

What a coincidence, every time I went to meet him, he was away for some reason.

“If it’s Seonghyeon, in class I…”

‘Not…’

“If it’s Sunghyun, he’s in Class H…”

‘Okay…’

“If it’s Seonghyeon, he’s in G class…”

‘Please…’

It shouldn’t have been like this.

I thought I would never see him again.

Anxiety and anxiety overtook me.

When he woke up, his cheeks were in his hands.

I got chills all over my body, even though it was summer.

‘Seong Hyun-a…’

And the more I did, the more I thought of him like crazy.

That’s how I came to think ‘stop’ that only he would be able to free me from this pain.

As if I was possessed by something, I thought of ‘Enough’ as if it were natural.

I stretched out my hand.

Let your emotions touch you.

But the sky was too high to reach.

Falled down the abyss.

Getting farther away.

Getting farther away.

I got farther away.

‘aaa…’

How many days have passed like that of eternity?

I decided that I couldn’t meet him by going to the lecture room.

Nise Akari went to the dormitory where he was staying early in the morning with wide eyes and a trembling body.

It seemed like there were familiar people in front of the dormitory on the way, but it didn’t matter what it was.

Nise Akari was indistinguishable.

-Smart!

Knock softly on the door.

Then a small chuckle came from inside the door.

“Who…”

I heard his voice.

Ah…

Soon after that, the door opened.

“Chief?”

And there he was.

And there he was.

“Ah—.”

“???”

He tilted his head in puzzlement.

Seeing that, Nise Akari came to her senses and opened her mouth.

“Ah, Seonghyeon-ah, hello… I’m sorry from morning… That, that’s not what I said the other day…”

Happiness, disappointment, longing, and love.

Emotions are intertwined and intertwined.

Gibberish.

I didn’t even know what it was, so I couldn’t even speak properly.

Even though I was embarrassed.

There was a more serious reason than that.

“Manager?.”

“No, that’s not what I meant…”

“…It’s nothing special here, but you can drink some water, calm down, and talk to me slowly, manager.”

It was obviously because the man who had smiled until recently was silently looking at him with an emotionless face.

Still, even though he was expressionless, he was full of consideration.

To see that they were talking gibberish and to prepare water right away to calm down.

Nise Akari took the cup Lee Seong-hyun held out and drank it as it was.

“Gulp. I’m sorry I came to you this morning, but… So I got a little feverish. That’s not intentional I told you to leave, so I’m asking you to cool down for a while, so go back to the club…”

“I know. That can’t be the manager’s real intention.”

“You understand.”

“By the way, I’m sorry for bringing you here. I was going to go right away, but I’m a bit busy…”

“No, it’s okay. Yes, it’s okay. Say it’s okay.”

He smiled.

Then, I felt a feeling of happiness spread through every corner of my body.

I didn’t want to escape.

If he didn’t smile, everything would be uneasy.

Even the air passing by was painful.

It is not an illusion.

Everything hurt, everything was boring, and everything was painful.

But it’s fine now.

Seeing him and talking to him made everything so happy.

Nise Akari wanted this time to last forever.

“But the cost of equipment is somehow…”

“It’s okay, I didn’t buy it with my own money anyway, and I can buy it again if I ask the student council, so I don’t have to worry about it.”

“But didn’t you say that it wasn’t from seniors, Akari got it through hard club activities?”

“Akari…?”

Name?

Suddenly?

No, that’s what I was hoping for, but…

I didn’t expect it to be called so suddenly.

I don’t think it’s right to do this after a little progress.

Still, since this is your senior, it’s not that it’s not bad to call your senior by name easily, but it’s good…

No, it doesn’t matter if Seonghyeon wants to sing it, but it was too destructive.

Feels like your face is getting hot.

Akari Nise lowered his head.

“Ah, the words came out wrong. Were you uncomfortable?”

“Oh, no. No. Yeah not bad I like being a senior, but calling her by her first name isn’t bad either.

“Then… Ummm, Akari worked hard to get it. I don’t want to treat it as nothing.”

I was happy.

When she was called by his first name again, a feeling of happiness surged beyond measure.

You mean they were the only ones doing this?

And it’s Seong-hyeon. He thinks deeply.

So how much effort did you put into buying it?

I didn’t want to accept them again, but I could tolerate it for Seonghyeon’s sake.

Only when they come will Seonghyeon’s guilt be resolved and she will return to her club.

“Still, I don’t think it can end with just Akari’s consideration.”

It doesn’t matter.

It doesn’t matter.

I just need you to come back.

I don’t need them.

“But I can’t ignore Akari’s consideration… Umm, then what if it’s like this? I’ll make room for you again. We’ll talk to each other there. Oh, of course, I’m not trying to end it with a conversation. I’ll pay for the equipment no matter what.”

“If you report the equipment cost as damage caused by a simple mistake and receive it from the student council…”

“No, I can’t say that there were no mistakes on my part, so if it’s something that’s important to Akari, it’s also something that’s important to me, so I want to do something about it.”

Hyeonah Seong…

“Then why not?”

Don’t be.

Even if it doesn’t work, it doesn’t matter if someone interferes.

“Yes. I will.”

“Thank God. To be honest, I didn’t want to be hated by Akari…”

“Huh? What do you mean you didn’t want to be hated?”

What do you mean by that?

You didn’t want to be hated?

So I wondered what you meant, so I asked

“Ah, that’s… That’s the wrong word. It’s not…”

Lee Seong-hyun’s face started to turn a little red.

Then, after looking around him, he stared at Nise Akari.

“This may sound a little sudden, but I asked you the other day, do you like older people?”

Ah, there was a time like that.

The last time the words came out while talking gibberish.

“That’s right, I like older people.”

And he said that with a bright smile.

“What is that…”

Reminiscent?

Hate?

…!!?
