Academy Assassination Genius

Finally the long awaited weekend.

It’s been a long time since I wore plain clothes instead of school uniform.

Black clothes that are the exact opposite of the pure white school uniform.

Considering the convenience features, it would be advantageous to go out wearing a school uniform, but school uniforms are too conspicuous.

“Hanzo junior!”

On my way to write a memoir for going out, I bumped into Baek Yu-ri.

It was the last time I saw her on orientation day, so it’s been two months.

“Did you have a good trip?”

“I suffered quite a bit. Year 1, did you just finish hell week?”

“I suffered quite a bit too.”

“I don’t know how I survived the Hell Lord in my first year. It was the same on this expedition as well. Junior Hanzo going out too?”

“Yes, is your senior here because of student council work?”

“Confirm the person going out. Originally, this is what Instructor Chun Yu-ran, who is on duty today, has to do… .”

There’s no way he could do this properly.

It seems that he was slapped by the students of the student council.

“You are suffering a lot.”

“Nope. We write down the going-out list by hand, but since our student ID card also has a recording function, we are as if we are only keeping our seats.”

Did the student ID have such a function?

I didn’t even know there was such a function because I only used it for the D-class hero certificate.

I didn’t even explain such trivial details in the novel.

“Can I write my name down here and leave?”

“Did you check the precautions?”

“Be careful not to get into a fight, and report it right away if there is an accident. Right?”

“There are other minor details, but as long as you know that much, it doesn’t matter. Even in plain clothes.”

“It’s because a school uniform stands out unnecessarily.”

As much as the value of the name of the hero academy has been high, there are some people who are jealous of it.

Such as those from other hero training institutes or those who have failed the hero academy exams.

There is even a study that shows that the frequency of problems occurring when going out in school uniform is 28 times higher than when it is not.

“Do you have a fan?”

“no. Can I borrow it?”

“here.”

When I tried to write my name by hand, I saw the names of the students who had gone out before me.

Among them were names I knew well.

‘Eve Ataraxia, Han So-yul. Are the two of you going out?’

As expected, it seems that the incident happened today.

I also wrote down the two letters I was used to and returned the list.

“Where are you going?”

“Should I report something like that?”

“No, I’m just asking out of curiosity.”

“I have someone to meet. Do some shopping together.”

“Ah, as soon as the expedition ends, someone is working even on the weekends. Some go out to play.”

If someone else said it, it would sound sarcastic, but when she said it, it only sounded like a joke.

As evidence of that, the corners of her mouth were pointing upwards.

“I think my eyes hurt from the sudden orientation.”

No, when is that?

There’s no way that scar would have remained until now, and it seems like he just wants to make fun of me.

It’s not like I can just sit still.

“Then, can I buy you a present on the way?”

“Hmm, what kind of gift is Hanzo hoobae going to buy?”

“Iknow, right. What kind of gift would you like? I still have a scholarship, so my wallet is full.”

“I’m not really trying to buy… ? It was just something I did.”

“Senpai like the sky is working without a break even on weekends. How dare a junior go out bare-handed and come back?”

“You’re kidding, right?”

It seems that Baek Yu-ri realized, albeit belatedly, that he had chosen the wrong person to joke with.

But it’s already too late.

“About half of the scholarship can be used for seniors.”

Half of my scholarship is half of my entire fortune.

And she must be well aware of how much money half of the scholarship is.

“Nope. You don’t have to. Buy something delicious with that money.”

“It can’t be. Well, what would you like to buy as a gift?”

“no, that’s fine.”

I said it like a joke, but half of the reason for leaving is with Baek Yu-ri.

If I can hand it over to her under the pretext of a gift, I can say that it has become more comfortable for me.

“Look forward to it.”

I left the Hero Academy with a smile on my face.

-It’s really okay!

I pretended not to listen to the words of disapproval coming from behind.

* * *

Black markets are not hidden in secret places.

It must be a fairly common setup that a rock cave is hidden under a shopping complex where tens of thousands of people come and go every day.

‘The problem is that I don’t have enough money to buy everything I have in mind.’

The only money I have is Heon’s admission scholarship.

It’s true that it’s a lot of money for a scholarship, but considering the things I’m trying to buy, it’s not that much money.

‘At most two. Catch enough and set three.’

But that’s not enough.

Why did I go through so much trouble and get a letter of introduction from Principal Chul Kim?

‘As expected, I have no choice but to earn money in a hurry.’

It’s a common cliché to make money by selling information about the future that is currently unknown.

If it’s a cliché that the main character suffers because of hastily sold future information, then it’s a cliché.

‘Because I don’t want to suffer later from the useless butterfly effect. I’ll have to carefully decide what to sell and what to trade with.’

If you have a student ID card from Heon Hero Military Academy and a letter of introduction from Principal Kim Cheol, credit will be sufficient.

How much I earn will depend on my skill.

‘If something unexpected happens, I’ll make sure I’m in the mood to get out of here right away.’

-This station is Heaven Hill, Heaven Hill Station.

-The door to get off is on the right.

Maybe because the distance was a distance, it took a lot of time to move.

At least there was a direct line, so I arrived quickly, but it would have taken longer if I had taken a taxi or bus.

“Yeah. It’s bigger and more colorful than I thought.”

An exclamation came out of my mouth unconsciously.

I came here thinking it was a place similar to SX Field, but it was more than I thought.

‘It’s the weekend, so it’s full of people.’

Was it the last time I went through such a crowd recently, at the department store where I went to meet the main character?

It’s a department store that became a mess due to the appearance of monsters, but by now it should be almost finished with repairs and preparing for reopening.

‘When was the main character here?’

It will be a year later at the earliest that he will set foot here.

By the time he visited, the huge shopping complex had been reduced to nothing more than a ruin.

I looked at the show window and headed inside.

At some point, the crowd started to decrease, and at some point, I felt a flow of magical power that distorted my senses.

‘I’m almost there.’

I entered the door with a sign saying ‘No entry except for those involved’.

The inside is cluttered like an abandoned warehouse.

Upon entering, the flow of magical power that distorted the senses became stronger.

-I don’t think I should be here.

Suddenly, I started thinking about it.

If it was an ordinary person who took the wrong path, he would have gone back like this.

“I knew it, but it feels like something.”

I went over the yellow tape that said ‘under construction’ and went inside.

The closer you go inward, the stronger the thought of getting out of here comes.

However, I ignored this and continued going inside.

‘Left here.’

We arrived in front of the freight elevator.

At that moment, the flow of magical power that had been disturbing my head quieted down, as if it had been caught by a typhoon.

I can hear people’s footsteps and voices far away, but I’m alone here… .

‘No, someone is coming this way. Is it another guest besides me?’

The footsteps were light and cautious.

It must have read my presence, which was there first.

A long shadow reached my feet.

The surroundings were bright enough that we could see each other’s faces.

Fortunately, the main character was someone I knew well.

“Hanzo? Why are you here?”

Han So-yul spoke in a cautious manner.

The suspicious look towards me is quite stinging.

Of course, I thought I would have gone down to the black market first, but I never thought I would run into it at the entrance like this.

They left school before me, but they may have been on the same train.

The plan needs some tweaking, but it’s a good thing.

It saved me the trouble of finding her.

“Can I not be here?”

“It’s not like that… Why are you here?”

“I came to see you. There are things you can only buy here.”

“… … .”

Han So-yul’s vigilance toward me doesn’t think about collapsing.

Rather, it seems that we are more distant now than when we first talked.

ding-

The elevator arrived just in time.

“Do you want to go down first?”

“No, you were the one who came first. It can’t be. go down together.”

As it is a freight elevator, the interior space is spacious.

However, the wide space was filled with awkwardness.

‘It’s quite a load over there too.’

It was smaller than the bag I was wearing, but I was also carrying a large cross-body bag.

Han So-yul, like me, wears plain clothes instead of school uniform.

I would have worn glasses and had a different hairstyle. That alone made a distinctly different impression.

I haven’t had a conversation with her since the first day at the treasure room.

However, I did feel Han So-yul’s gaze once in a while during class.

‘It must be because of what happened in the treasure house on the first day. I approached her with a little bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of ‘.

It was natural to spy on me with suspicious eyes.

The moment I felt his gaze and turned around, I quickly turned my head away, so I didn’t bother talking to him first.

She was very suspicious and cautious.

If I took one step closer from me, she would be more than three steps away.

“… I heard something happened yesterday.”

So, this situation where she spoke first was quite unexpected.

Besides, you know what happened yesterday.

“If it was yesterday, what happened in the student cafeteria?”

“I heard that you prevented something that could have turned into a big deal.”

Judging from the fact that it even reached her ears when she wasn’t there, the rumors must have spread quite quickly.

… There’s no way there’s even a group chat room without me, right?

“I was lucky.”

“To say that I was simply lucky, the opponent was not easy. Like Anton Ivanov, as well as seniors in the second year.”

Considering that you even know the specific situation, aren’t there real group chat rooms?

“You know pretty well, where did you hear that?”

“Uh, by chance… ?”

“by chance?”

Feeling uneasy, I tried to question her, but the elevator stopped.

ding-

Without saying a few words, we reached the basement.

“that… not. See you later at school.”

Han So-yul, who got off the elevator first, left a greeting and entered the alley with unhesitating steps.

I walked away with quite hasty steps.

So move before you miss her back.

Even though it was still early, I looked at the noisy black market entrance and turned to the alley where she had disappeared.

‘It’s dark enough to be just right.’

Street lights are lined up, but this is underground.

Moreover, the alley she headed towards had fewer streetlights, making it suitable for using the trait.

「Nevermore-nothing.」

Wrapped around the darkness, hides itself, and kills the presence.

In this state, he follows Han So-yul.

The amount of mana consumed to maintain ＜The Jackdaw’s Poetry＞ cannot be ignored, but until she reaches the back of the alley, you can easily endure it.

Protect Han So-yul from the attack.

As always, a blue spear floated in the corner of his field of vision.
