Became a Master of the Academy’s Hidden Skills chapter 81

Easier than taking candy from a crying child

Elua was perplexed.

‘Are commoners like this?’

This is because the appearance Lee Seok-hyeon is showing now is far from ‘commonness’, which is one of the most common topics in conversations between nobles.

He said that ordinary people are no different than ignorant, stupid, and easily irritable beasts.

As a result of having a conversation, he showed an excellent figure enough to compete with the water level in Velutos.

‘I can’t do this.’

Fools who are snobbish and quickly fall for the reward in front of them.

That was the concept of commoners defined by the Velutos Academy.

Their superiority and inferiority were determined by their innate status, and they should be living beings that are worthy of even a small grace.

Lee Seok-hyun kicked such a concept coolly and rather led the situation.

‘You can’t do this.’

Although it was an unofficial event, it was a meeting of talented people representing the first year of each academy.

Does it look like you are being pushed unilaterally in such a place? That was the worst possible figure.

“Make a quick decision, are you going to make a bet or not?”

“Huh, ha! Do commoners rush to make decisions quickly?

“It’s probably because I’m not confident, because I’m sure that Mirinae Academy will never lose, so I can make decisions quickly.”

You are hesitant because you think about what to do if Balutos loses.

At Lee Seok-hyun’s next words, Ellua immediately opened her mouth.

It was because Lee Seok-hyun’s every word was precisely scratching the wrath of the nobility.

“Not Balutos, but Belutos! Are you insulting our family now?”

“Ah-cha-cha, this is so stupid commoners don’t know that, so I got confused.”

“profit…!”

Ellua couldn’t respond to Lee Seok-hyun’s words because he said he was stupid first.

Ordinary aristocrats would never admit to being stupid and would have gotten angry.

This commoner admitted that he was stupid and used that as a means of attack.

‘What’s with all these guys!’

Obviously, there had never been a conversation between nobles like this before!

Unlike the world of aristocrats, where people with strong powers take the initiative in all conversations because it was a gathering around power.

Ellua was now experiencing the first conversation in an equal relationship without such external factors.

‘What should I do? I don’t think I can put pressure on him because he’s a cadet from another academy.’

The title of Mirinae Academy’s 1st year S class leader, which cannot be pressed with one’s own power.

From a cadet’s point of view, this was a part that could be seen as equal in power.

Therefore, there was a picture of an aristocrat who is experiencing a conversation outside of the hierarchy for the first time, losing control of the conversation to a lowly commoner.

“Wait a minute.”

Ellua, who was on the verge of drying up to the end, thought of a means to bring the flow of conversation.

“I see you’re asking me to bet for nothing, so… Is there something you want, right? That’s why you want to get it somehow by provoking me.”

Yes, no matter how intelligent a commoner is, it is still in the palm of my hand.

Placing a bet was about what to bet on, and if so, it meant that the commoners in front of them wanted something.

‘Then I’ll just have to roll with it.’

After all, talent is the way to bloom in a crisis situation.

Ellua felt proud of her words and looked at Lee Seok-hyun with a look that you were finished.

Seok-Hyun Lee.

“Ahhh.”

was yawning

With a very boring face, it was an added bonus that he had annoyed eyes that he had just finished talking.

“What are you talking about, you were approaching me in the first place, you want to win the exchange competition by any means you can, aren’t you?”

“That, that.”

“So, that’s right. But why is the story suddenly flowing from what bet to what I want… This is what you wanted from the start.”

I’m forcing you to listen to me because it seems like you want to do something with our academy.

I don’t know?

At Lee Seok-hyeon’s repeated words, Ellua kept her mouth shut.

“…”

When I thought about it, it really was.

I was also the one who figured out Lee Seok-hyun’s movement, waited in advance, and tried to cast him.

I was the one who kept telling you to just talk about the main point, and asked me to guide you to the VIP room because it seemed like I was going to leave.

Then I asked if I could just make him win and offered a reward.

‘It’s all mine.’

It was only now that I realized that it was Elua herself who forced herself to push through everything in the winning streak.

As we continued the conversation in an aggression, if Lee Seok-hyun reluctantly made a bet, the front and back matched tightly.

If a third person saw this situation, it might be surprising, but at least Ellua felt that Lee Seok-hyun was right.

I thought maybe making a bet now might be the final compromise…

‘… This must be coming out of my head by now.’

cute, cute

How to fool a 17-year-old with words?

It was easier than taking candy from a crying child.

Lee Seok-hyun covered his lips and let out the smile he had been holding back little by little.

It was a series of irresistible happiness.

++++++++++++++++

‘As planned.’

From 1 to 10, everything is going smoothly now.

Now all that was left was to wrap it well in one wrap and put it in my mouth.

What are you going to do when you enter the game after wasting 4 years playing games in the corner of your room when you are only 17 years old?

No matter how good I tried to look at this, it was an addition.

Lions do their best even when hunting rabbits.

When it comes to fraud, if the opponent has already made up his mind to do so, the body must have already been executed.

Recalling a famous line from a certain cartoon, I continued.

“So, what are you going to do, what are you going to do? To be honest, you win by whatever means you can, but if you just win easily, it’s a little bit like that. There is no story.”

“story?”

“Yeah, did you know that simply winning at Mirinae Academy would be enough?”

“…?”

“You really don’t know anything.”

When I was blindly focused on a goal, I often missed the finer details, and Elua did just that.

And in this case, it could be seen that he was a very good character type to eat on his back.

“My, what do you mean I don’t know. Can’t you understand? Are you trying to teach me now?”

The moment she realized that the commoners knew what the aristocrats didn’t know, Ellua put on a face with a scratch on her self-esteem.

I want my emotions to show up on my face so easily.

Ellua was one of the hukou who couldn’t even properly keep the virtues of negotiation.

This made me want to cheat instead of negotiating, perhaps even doing this to Elua now.

It was to the extent that I thought that she might have caused it, not because I wanted to do it.

‘It’s a perfect rationalization.’

After rationalizing the guilt of missing out on a child’s spine, I took her word for it.

“It’s not like that, there’s no such thing as a win-win match. It’s just me, if I get your offer, then I promise to win. If I do, will Balutos be happy?”

“Belutos!”

Another taunt here.

The more you get angry, the more your reason becomes cloudy.

“Yeah, anyway. The point I’m saying is that victory has to have a story. You’ve been talking all about you and me, haven’t you?”

“Uh, how…”

“It’s annoying. But what do you think will be the result if you don’t get me here? Oh, it’s absurd that Elua-sama is a commoner but you can’t recruit me! It’s obvious.”

“…my academy kids never underestimate me.”

“It would be publicly, but now I will chew you in a place without you. You don’t know because you’ve been talking behind the scenes. In the first place, anyone can chew without you.”

“…”

word by word.

Every time he joined sentences, Elua’s expression changed like dough that was easy to knead.

When I tell you to be angry, you get angry, and when I tell you to be depressed, you get gloomy.

‘Now it’s time to bake the bread.’

Now, let’s get to work.

“That’s why I’m saying this, because the commoners were doing their best, so I said let’s make a bet.”

“That’s what you suggested.”

“That’s why, pretend like that. The truth is that it’s just the two of us, so when talking directly, you can speak in your favor. I can just say that you said so.”

“Yes?”

He lowers the hurdles by delaying the reward story and giving him honor.

By now, Elua said, ‘Isn’t he really kind?’ It was obvious that he was thinking such an idle thought.

And right now.

“Yeah, so we just have to decide on the bet reward. I think I’ll need a Rubel Ruble Necromancer Set and one Spirit Armor. How about it?”

I quickly added the rewards I wanted.

“Huh? Huh?”

“And here, of course, we also divide the dividends according to wins and losses… Since we’re inferior, I think it’s right for us to set the dividend a little higher. What do you think? It’s only natural for Belutos to win.”

“Ah, uh, first of all, Velutos will definitely win…”

Ellua started riding the sucker whenever the story of a full-fledged bet materialized.

Even if he was still a freshman and had learned a lot of noble etiquette, such negotiation was not easy to learn.

Moreover, the nobles had very few opportunities to directly participate in negotiations, usually putting their agents first.

‘Are you negotiating with me, who once sold clothes in Dongdaemun? That can’t be possible.’

The plants in the greenhouse do not know that the world of merchants is cruel and cruel.

“Then let’s do this for now and do you have any rewards you want? Tell me. Let’s list them all, draft them, and even prepare to make it into a notarized document.”

It was nothing more than a mouthful distance.

‘Welcome customer.’

I will treat you with all my heart.
