An Angel Lives in the Academy Chapter 119

Episode 119: An angel meets an assassin (4)

What does the word assassin mean?

Assassin. Who kills in the dark.

Here, darkness means deception and not being discovered. In that sense, Professor Merrill of the Department of Assassination… … .

He was a truly great assassin.

‘That look, they really look like parents who lost their child.’

The referee knew Meryl’s beauty. There’s no way I could easily forget her beautiful appearance like that. But what Meryl looks like now… … .

‘That’s definitely Meryl, but the way she acts doesn’t look like Meryl.’

He doesn’t seem to know anything about fighting. It seems like he really cares for his child. He looks like he’s going to cry when he watches a sad movie. It looks like he will fall into panic when he sees something cruel.

She was a beautiful woman with such a fragile appearance.

“hello! “Thank you so much for coming out to me for my humble request.”

Meryl cries and holds the referee’s hand. The referee nodded at her, hiding his embarrassment.

“To be thankful. “Of course it has to be done!”

The referee thought while smiling.

‘Meryl, it’s a high-end… … !’

Referee, a fraud angel who has been fooling countless people with his angelic acting. As such a referee, it was quite easy to recognize Meryl’s acting skills.

According to the referee’s assessment,

Meryl was quite a high-ranking person.

‘But there’s one thing Professor Merrill doesn’t know. The fact is that I also do a bit of acting.’

The referee took Meryl’s hand without hesitation and continued speaking as if he was truly sorry.

“I also know something about the evil practices of superhuman families and large guilds.”

And I thought about the past times I had been bullied by superhuman families and huge guilds. A past that was always ignored, a vanished future that was always persecuted. A little dark time for the referee.

“I have suffered a lot from them too.”

shaking-

The basis of acting is immersion.

The referee was immersed in the past.

And the effect was amazing.

The angel suddenly grabbed my hand, and the angel’s hand began to tremble… Meryl had to look at the ceiling to hide her red face.

‘cute.’

Meryl bit her lip and thought.

‘No, you can’t think like this. ‘Now I have come here to expose that angel’s true nature.’

Meryl thought.

There are no good races in this world.

So what is that boy who saved other students from Rusa’s violence? It’s definitely acting.

There are many people who hate the angel race, so this is just a trivial act to deceive them.

So Merrill took several pictures of the referee with the goal of studying angel deception. No, she went beyond just a few shots and took a variety of appearances… … .

It is unclear whether it will actually be used in research.

Anyway, the referee also shook his head… … .

‘Why on earth did Meryl call me this way? ‘I guess she really didn’t mean to assassinate me?

I was shaking from fearful thoughts… … .

‘No, that can’t be possible. No matter how strong Professor Merrill is, she is Professor Jin-ho Park’s adopted daughter. And because I am receiving favoritism from Professor Park Jin-ho… … .’

I was a little relieved that that wouldn’t happen.

‘Probably Professor Merrill called me here to try to protect me. Am I really a good angel? Or is it a bad angel like the devil?’

And the referee guessed Merrill’s actual purpose.

‘Then I have to show it.’

The referee nodded.

‘What an angelic angel I am!’

And so the referee and Meryl’s tea time began. Meryl was still sobbing and looked at the referee, and the referee was filled with sympathy and held Meryl’s hand.

Sometimes I caress her cheek and wipe away her tears.

“Ugh… … .”

It was hard for Meryl to bear it.

I don’t know what’s so hard to bear.

“So what are the exact circumstances?”

“Well, it’s a bit complicated… … .”

Meryl spoke slowly.

It’s a made up story.

First of all, she was the concubine of the legitimate son of the Hanshin owner family. It is said that she gave birth to a child with the legitimate child of the owner, Hanshin, and when the child awakened to her superhuman form, she was taken in by Hanshin.

After hearing this far, the referee gathered his thoughts.

‘Hanshin… ‘The guild of Koo Koo-hyeok, a member of the Assassination Department and vice president of the student council.’

Koo Sang-hyeok is Hanshin’s heir.

And Meryl is a professor like Koo Koo-hyuk.

The reason why Meryl is able to sell Hanshin’s name like this is… Perhaps there was tangible and intangible coercion from Professor Merrill.

Koo Koo-hyeok’s face is depicted after receiving an offer he couldn’t refuse from Professor Merrill. Although he was clearly embarrassed, he nodded with an expression that said there was nothing he could do.

Just like middle managers.

‘Senior Koo Sang-hyuk, you’ve had a hard time too… … .’

The referee had a bitter look on his face. It was because of Koo Sang-hyuk. But Meryl thought that her expression was because she sympathized with her own story.

“But I heard that the child was admitted to Central Academy, but I couldn’t contact him at some point. I think he was probably taken from Hanshin… “Please find that child.”

Meryl asked with tears in her eyes.

The referee nodded as if he understood.

“I’ll go to the assassination department and ask them directly. “Where on earth did that child go?”

It’s probably a trap.

If you go to the Assassination Department, Meryl’s true test will begin.

“Are you sure you don’t mind? I heard that the Assassination Department is the most cruel department in Central Academy. Well, on top of that, Hanshin… … .”

Meryl pretends to be shaking.

If the referee didn’t realize that Merrill was acting, he looked deceptively frightened.

‘Hanshin, it’s not scary.’

Originally, the referee might have hesitated. As Meryl said, the Assassination Department was the cruelest department, and Hanshin was a huge guild that was known for being truly cruel.

But the referee did not hesitate.

Each of these words is a test for Merrill.

If he showed hesitation here, Meryl would look at the referee as a hypocrite like any other angel.

And the referee was also aware of that fact.

“does not matter. Whether it’s the Department of Assassination or Hanshin… … .”

The referee smiled.

Without even the slightest hesitation.

“It’s our volunteer club’s job to help people who are sad.”

“B-but… I’m poor and have nothing to give in return… … .”

And the referee held Merrill’s hand once again. The referee’s hands were warm.

“Seeing people smile is my reward. Do not worry. “I’ll make sure you smile.”

Those were kind words, very kind words.

When these kind words are combined with an angelic face… It felt like a significant destructive force to Meryl and the people around her.

‘A different race, the referee is clearly a different race, so why on earth would he do this for a human he’s never seen… … .’

Meryl smiled at those words.

Is this acting? Or did she end up falling for the referee’s warmth without even being able to act?

“Please trust me.”

The only answer I knew was the message that came to the referee.

And so the referee left.

As the referee left, Meryl was fiddling with her hands, unconsciously chasing the warmth of the boy who had left earlier.

For some reason, I didn’t want to wash my hands.

“professor.”

A man appears from the shadows. The man’s name is Koo Sang-hyuk. He was a student who led Meryl’s Assassination Department in her place while she was away on probation.

“Wouldn’t this be enough testing for the referee?”

Koo Koo-hyuk defended the referee.

Meryl is slightly surprised by those words.

“… Sanghyuk, don’t you hate the referee?”

“I hate you. “That kid is an enemy of the student council.”

However, Koo Koo-hyuk seemed to really dislike it and continued to defend the referee.

“But aside from hating that boy, I cannot agree with the statement that he is an evil half-breed.”

“Huh, it looks like you forgot everything I taught you.”

“no. I know it well. “In this world, power is everything, and that humans and other races can never reconcile with each other.”

The student council vice president looked up at his professor.

During the Spirit’s Protection, he stepped in as Yumari’s only protector when she was about to be bullied, and even the other student council executives evaluated the referee as a good kid. The moment the referee flew over and stopped the fight. and… … .

The time when the referee healed his eyelid, which was about to collapse, and his arm, which was broken and crushed and in great pain.

I couldn’t forget that time.

The child’s sad expression.

The warm feelings I felt at that time.

“But the referee, he’s a good kid. “Of course, he is my enemy.”

“… … .”

Meryl knew Koo Koo-hyuk well.

That’s right, Koo Koo-hyuk was his favorite student, a child he had raised with him even before he entered the Central Academy.

As Meryl intended, Koo Koo-hyuk would have been raised as a cold and merciless ruler… … .

A child like that would be evaluated so highly by a different race. How could a child like that make such a sad expression?

What was even more surprising was that Meryl didn’t dislike Koo Koo-hyuk’s appearance that way.

‘As expected, you also understand the cuteness of the referee.’

Meryl didn’t know much, but it felt like a fandom that liked the same idol.

“Still I can’t believe it.”

Meryl whispered to herself as if making a promise.

She didn’t forget her past. Her own past, when she was persecuted as a slave by her own people.

“I can’t trust this race.”

* * *

As soon as the referee returned from his outing, he immediately went to the assassination department. As if he wasn’t afraid at all.

“Is this the assassination department?”

There were black buildings all around. I don’t know what material it was made of, but it was so dark even in the daytime that it felt like I was seeing something sucking up the light.

The scenery where such buildings are concentrated is truly… … .

“A little scary?”

It was so gloomy that it made even the brave angel referee tremble a little. It was a department building truly suited to the Department of Assassination.

The referee suppressed his fear,

I visited the department office of the Assassination Department.

“hello… … ?”

Referees are assistants and office workers in the Assassination Department who do not accept greetings. They just glared at the referee with sharp eyes.

‘Hmm, as expected, Professor Merrill did all the work.’

This was a test.

So I already knew it wouldn’t be easy.

“… “What business is it?”

A teaching assistant with a large scar on his face answers. It was so bloody that life was in full bloom.

But angels become strong when they do the right thing.

The referee, encouraged, continued speaking.

“I’m trying to find an assassination student. Can I get some help?”

“Why are you looking for our student?”

“Because the student’s parents want to see the student.”

Then the teaching assistant raised the corners of his mouth as if mocking him. The right cheek of his mouth was missing, so his smile was somewhat bizarre.

“Ugh, if you’re going to make an excuse, you have to make one that’s believable. Then the parents should contact us directly. Why do you make students from other departments like you find other students? “It doesn’t make sense.”

“I really am.”

The teaching assistant stops what he is doing and approaches slowly.

“Did you really come here to trick me? “If you think about it, you’re not Professor Elf’s favorite student.”

“Professor Elf? “You belong to the Department of Martial Arts?”

“That student belonging to Professor Lee Jong-jok entered our department?”

The assistants in the assassination department are jumping to their feet.

Gulp – The referee swallowed.

‘I knew it would be like this. In the end, I have no choice but to use it.’

The referee sighed in his heart.

And put your palms together.

Powerful karma begins to coalesce in the hands of the referee.

‘Last time, I leveled up a lot and gained a new power. That’s it… … .’
