Episode 119: The Angel Who Meets the Assassin (4)
What does the word assassin mean?
assassin. who kills in the dark.
Darkness here means deception, and also means not being noticed. In that sense, Professor Merrill of the Department of Assassination… … .
He was a really good assassin.
‘That look, it’s like a parent who has lost a real child.’
The referee recognized Meryl’s beauty. I can’t easily forget how beautiful you are. But now, Meryl’s face… … .
‘Obviously that’s Meryl, but seeing her acting, she doesn’t look like Meryl.’
He doesn’t know anything about fighting. It looks like he really cares about the child. You look like you’re about to cry when you watch a sad movie. When you see something cruel, it looks like you’re going to fall into a panic.
She was a beauty with such a fragile figure.
“hello! I, thank you so much for coming out this way to my humble request.”
Meryl crying and holding the referee’s hand. The referee nodded, hiding his embarrassment.
“Thank you. Of course it has to be done!”
The referee thought with a laugh.
‘Meryl, that’s a high level… … !’
A fraudulent angel referee who has tricked many people with his angelic acting. As such a referee, it was quite easy to recognize Meryl’s acting skills.
According to the referee’s evaluation,
Merrill was pretty high-class.
‘But there’s one thing that Professor Merrill doesn’t know. I mean the fact that I’m also doing a little bit of acting.’
The referee took Meryl’s hand without hesitation and continued speaking as if he was really sorry.
“I also know a little bit about the superhuman clan and the viciousness of the giant guild.”
And I remembered the past when I was harassed by the super family and giant guilds. The past that was always ignored, the future that was always persecuted and disappeared. The Referee’s Little Dark Age.
“I have suffered a lot from them, too.”
shaking-
The basics of acting are immersion.
The referee was immersed in the past.
And the effect was great.
An angel suddenly grabbed his hand, and the angel’s hand started to tremble… Meryl had to look up at the ceiling to hide her blushing face.
‘cute.’
Meryl thought, biting her lip.
‘No, you shouldn’t think like that. Now I’m here to expose the nature of that angel.’
Merrill thought.
There are no good people in this world.
So, who was the boy who saved the other students from Lusa’s violence? It will definitely be smoke.
There are many people who hate the race of angels, so it’s a trivial act to deceive them.
So Merrill took several pictures of the referee for the purpose of studying the angel’s deception. No, I went beyond just several shots and took various pictures… … .
I don’t know if that will really be used for research.
In any case, the referee shook his head… … .
‘Why the hell did Meryl call me this way? Are you sure you weren’t really trying to assassinate me?’
I was trembling at the fearful imagination… … .
‘No, it can’t be. No matter how strong Professor Merrill is, she is Professor Park Jin-ho’s adopted daughter. And because I am favored by Professor Jinho Park… … .’
I was a little reassured that that wouldn’t happen.
‘Probably, Professor Merrill has called me here to make me think. Am I really a good angel? Or is it a bad angel like a demon king?’
And the referee guessed the actual purpose of Merrill.
‘Then I have to show you.’
The referee nodded.
‘What an angelic angel I am!’
Thus, tea time between the referee and Meryl began. Meryl still sighed and looked at the referee, who, full of sympathy, took Meryl’s hand.
Sometimes I caress my cheeks and wipes away my tears.
“Ugh… … .”
Meryl was unbearable.
I don’t know what’s so hard to bear.
“So what exactly is the situation?”
“It’s a bit complicated, so to speak… … .”
Merrill spoke slowly.
It’s a made up story.
First of all, she was a concubine of the deficit of the Hanshin owner family. It is said that Hanshin gave birth to a child among the heirs of the Hanshin owner family, and when the child awakened to a superhuman, Hanshin took him.
The referee, who had heard this far, gathered up his thoughts.
‘Han Shin… Guild of Senior Assassination Department and student council vice president Goo Goo-hyuk.’
Goo Goo-hyuk is the enemy of Hanshin.
And Merrill is such a professor of Goo Goo,
The reason why Meryl can sell Hanshin’s name like this… Probably because of Professor Merrill’s tangible and intangible coercion.
Goo Goo Hyuk’s face is drawn after receiving an offer he can’t refuse from Professor Merrill. He must have nodded his head with a look of embarrassment, but that he couldn’t help it.
like middle managers.
‘Senior Koo Sang-hyuk, you are also suffering a lot… … .’
The referee had a bitter expression on his face. It was because of Goo Sang-hyuk. But Merrill thought that the expression on her face resonated with her story.
“However, I heard that the child was admitted to the Central Academy, but at some point I have not been contacted. I think it was probably taken from Hanshin… Please find the child.”
Merrill asked with tears in her eyes.
The referee nodded as if he understood.
“I will go to the Assassination Department and ask myself. Where the hell did that kid go?”
It’s probably a trap.
If you go to the Assassination Department, the true test of Merrill will begin.
“Are you really okay? I’ve heard that the Assassination Department is the most brutal department in the Central Academy. Oh, and on top of that, Hanshin… … .”
Merrill pretends to be trembling.
If the referee hadn’t noticed that Merrill was playing, he was truly deceived and frightened.
‘Hanshin, it’s not scary.’
If it was the original referee, he might have been hesitant. As Merrill said, the Assassination Department was the most brutal department, and even Hanshin was a very cruel and reputed giant guild.
But the referee did not hesitate.
Each of these words is a test of Meryl.
If he showed any hesitation here, Merrill would see the referee as a hypocrite just like any other angel.
And the referee was aware of that.
“does not matter. Whether it’s the Department of Assassination or Hanshin… … .”
The referee smiled.
With even the slightest hesitation erased.
“It is our job to help those who are sad.”
“Ha, but… I’m poor, so I can’t repay you… … .”
And the referee once again took Merrill’s hand. The referee’s hand was warm.
“Seeing people smile is my reward. Do not worry. I will make sure to make you smile.”
It was a kind word, a very kind word.
When these kind words merge with an angelic face… For Meryl and the people around him, it came with considerable destructive power.
‘A different race, the referees are obviously of a different race, so why on earth are they doing this for a human they see for the first time… … .’
Meryl smiled at that.
is this smoke? Or did I just fall for the referee’s warmth without even acting?
“Trust me.”
The only answer he knew was the message that came to the referee.
＜It is an angelic thing to quench the hatred of a hated hero.>
＜You have acquired angelic power.>
So the referee left.
As the referee left, Meryl was fiddling with her hands, unconsciously chasing the warmth of the boy who had just left.
For some reason, I didn’t want to wash these hands.
“professor.”
A man appears from the shadows. The man’s name is Goo Sang-hyuk. She was a student who led the assassination department on her behalf while Merrill was on probation and left the assassination department.
“Isn’t this enough to test the referee?”
Goo Koo-hyuk defended the referee.
At that, Meryl was slightly surprised.
“… Sanghyuk-ah, didn’t you hate the referee?”
“I hate it. Because that kid is the enemy of the student council.”
However, as if he really hated it, he continued to defend the referee.
“But apart from hating him, I cannot agree with him that he is an evil alien race.”
“Huh, you must have forgotten everything I taught you.”
“no. I know it well. The fact that power is everything in this world, that humans and different races can never reconcile with each other.”
The student council vice president looked up at his professor.
The appearance of Yumari as the only guardian when she was about to be bullied during the protection of the spirits, the day even the other student council executives evaluated the referee as a good child. The moment the referee flew around and stopped fighting. and… … .
The time when the referee healed his eyelids he was about to break, and healed his arm that had been shattered and crushed so painfully.
I couldn’t forget that time.
The child’s sad expression.
The warm feeling I felt then.
“Still, the referee is a good kid. Of course he is my enemy.”
“… … .”
Merrill knew Goo Goo well.
Guess what, Goo Goo was the same as his favorite disciple, a child he had raised while wearing it even before he entered the JoongAng Academy.
As Merrill intended, Goo Goo Hyuk would have been raised as such a cold and merciless ruler… … .
Such a child gave such a high evaluation to a different race. How could such a child make such a tender expression?
What was even more surprising was that Merrill did not dislike Goo Goo Hyuk.
‘After all, you also understand the cuteness of the referee.’
Meryl didn’t know it well, but it felt like a fandom who liked the same idol.
“I still can’t believe it.”
Meryl whispered as if promising to herself.
She did not forget her past. His past when he was persecuted as a slave by a different race.
“I can’t believe this race.”
* * *
As soon as the referee returned from a trip, he immediately went to the Assassination Department. It’s like he wasn’t afraid at all.
“Is this the Assassination Department?”
There were black buildings all around. I don’t know what kind of material it was made of, but it was dark even in the daytime, as if seeing something absorbing light.
The scenery in which such buildings are concentrated is truly… … .
“A bit scary, isn’t it?”
It was gloomy enough to make even the Brave Angel Referee tremble a little. It really was a department building suited to the assassination department.
The referee suppressed his fear,
I found the office of the Department of Assassination.
“hello… … ?”
The referees are assistants and clerks in the Assassination Department who do not accept greetings. They just stared at the referee with sharp eyes.
‘Um, Professor Merrill has written all of his hands.’
This was a test.
So I already knew it wouldn’t be easy.
“… What is it?”
The assistant with a large wound on his face answers. It was very bloody to see the life blooming in full bloom.
But angels are strong when they do what is right.
＜Angels become stronger when they do angelic things!>
Having gained courage, the referee continued to speak.
“I’m trying to find a student from the Assassination Department, can I get some help?”
“Why are you looking for our students?”
“The student’s parents want to see the student.”
Then the assistant raised the corners of his lips as if smirking. The smile on the right side of his mouth was missing, and the smile was somehow bizarre.
“Hey, if you’re going to make an excuse, you have to make a credible excuse. Then the parents should contact us directly. Why do you make other students like you find other students? It makes no sense.”
“I really am.”
The assistant stops what he is doing and approaches slowly.
“Did you come here to play tricks? Come to think of it, I’m not the elf professor’s favorite student.”
“Professor Elf? Are you affiliated with the Martial Arts Department?”
“Is that hetero-ethnic professor and student entering our department?”
The assistants of the assassination department who rise out of nowhere.
Gulp- The referee swallowed his saliva.
‘I thought so. In the end, I have no choice but to use it.’
The referee sighed in his heart.
And put your palms together.
A powerful karma that begins to condense into the referee’s hands.
‘Last time, I leveled up a lot and gained a new power. That’s right… … .’
