I Became an Academy Fraudster

Episode 34

After the regular classes at the academy.

Growl-

I went out of the academy with an empty stomach.

Darkness covered the sky.

I started walking to a nearby fast food restaurant.

“I feel really hungry to death.”

I turned on my cell phone.

And I entered the banking app.

[‘Sunhyup’ Bank – KRW 30,000]

I have a serious problem these days.

These days, I can’t even eat the meals provided by the academy.

Well, to the extent that they come here, they are the children of somewhat wealthy families.

Since childhood, they have lived with only high-quality food.

The school also uses only top-notch chefs and top-notch ingredients to satisfy their demanding tastes.

That’s why the cost of school meals is outrageously expensive.

It is unusual for a meal to cost over 30,000 won.

The problem is that the price is too expensive for me to afford without the support of my parents.

“Haa… “

It comes from a sigh.

I don’t have much money.

30 Million won obtained by digging General Gyebaek’s knife the other day.

Most of the money was invested in the alchemist, and the remaining money was used to purchase an old knife from the auction house.

As a result, the remaining money in my pocket is 30,000 won.

This is all.

I went into a nearby fast food restaurant and browsed the menu.

[‘Cyborg’ set – 6,900 won, ‘Millennium’ set – 11,000 won, ‘Sao Paulo’ set – 13,000 won]

“I’d like a cyborg set, please.”

“Yes. When you get to your seat, we will guide you with a vibrating bell.”

“…Ehh”

I sat down in a corner and sighed.

Then I turned on the screen of my phone.

[‘Sunhyup’ securities account – 0 won.]

The money in my stock account is 0 won.

“If only the initial capital is raised somehow.”

I am aware of the big events that happen in this world.

From a company whose stock price rises enormously due to its success in developing a new drug, to a company whose stock price plummets when its chairman suddenly collapses.

If you use this well, you can make quite a bit of money.

The problem is, even that requires initial capital.

If 1 million won is multiplied by 10 times, it is 10 million won, but if 10 million won is multiplied by 10 times, it is 100 million won.

Even if I invest in stocks with the money I have in my hands, I can’t even stick it on anyone’s nose.

“I need money. Money.”

Money is also essential to obtain the items needed to unlock Nam Do-yoon’s skill.

Not only that, but also for basic food, clothing and shelter.

I brought a hamburger to my seat.

I started chewing on the tasteless hamburger.

It’s disgustingly tasteless.

However, I have to eat to live. What can I do?

While I was eating, I heard a notification sound from my phone.

Tee-Ring-

Who are you?

I clicked on the text message.

[‘Cha Ji-yoon’ – Where are you now?

“…?”

What is it?

Tee-Ring-

A snooze sounded.

[‘Cha Ji-yoon’ – Didn’t you forget to say that you will definitely reciprocate? (The squirrel frowns.)]

Ah… Right

Come to think of it, Cha Ji-yoon said he would repay me with something.

[‘Nam Doyoon’ – I am a local fast food restaurant. Can you send me the location?]

[‘Cha Ji-yoon’ – Yes. Send it to me and I’ll go find it.

I sent the location to Cha Ji-yoon.

I waited while chewing on a tasteless hamburger.

My daughter-

With the sound of the door opening, I began to see Cha Ji-yoon from afar.

She looked at me, bowed her head, and came and sat down in front of me.

Then she looked at the hamburger in front of me and shook her head.

“…Didn’t you eat it at school? I understand that dinner is served.”

“Yes, because I love fast food.”

As she said that, she asked for a hamburger.

Pretending to be delicious.

It’s too embarrassing to say that I can’t eat because I don’t have money.

She nodded her head as if she was roughly convinced.

“…I see. Rather, go somewhere with me.”

“Where are you?”

“..Let’s go with the ‘secret auction house’ we went to last time.”

“…..?”

I don’t have any money on hand right now, so I can’t buy anything even if I go to the secret auction house.

Even if you go there, you have to suck your finger or look around and come back.

“… Thank you very much, but I think I will have to decline.”

“…Yes?”

Cha Ji-yoon tilted her head in surprise.

“Even if I went to the ‘secret’ auction house, I couldn’t get what I wanted with the money I had.”

“…Don’t worry about that.”

Cha Ji-yoon smiled.

“Yes?”

“..I said I would repay you, right?”

“Of course he did.”

“Choose anything you want from the Secret Auction House, regardless of price, and I will pay for it.”

“Yes!?”

The prices of the items that appear there are in billions.

No matter how much she is the daughter of the chairman of the ‘Samhwa’ group, it is clear that spending that much money will be a burden.

As I was making a blank expression, she said with a smile.

“..Do you not believe me? I’m a bit sad.”

Cha Ji-yoon Is she a rookie?

****

I looked at Cha Ji-yoon sitting next to me.

“…..”

She looked curiously at her surroundings, her eyes twinkling uncharacteristically.

“Oh. How amazing. This is the subway.”

The place where she and I were sitting was inside the subway.

It was late in the evening, so it was empty, so it was just her and me.

“Is this your first time riding the subway?”

“…Yes. Secretary Kim has been driving me since I was little.”

“Ah… “

I think I touched a sore spot for no reason.

Her secretary of ten years betrayed her.

“..That’s what I said.”

She clapped her hands.

“…Wasn’t it when you came to save me?”

“Yes.”

“…You didn’t kill the secretary on purpose, did you?”

“Yes?”

“…If I had fought with the secretary on the spot, I wouldn’t have been safe.”

“……?”

The reason I didn’t kill the secretary was purely because I would lose in a fight.

“..Thank you for me.”

Cha Ji-yoon bowed her head.

It seems that you are misunderstanding something.

“…And since he didn’t seem to want to be revealed, I said I didn’t see the face of the person who rescued me.”

“…Yes?”

“…Seemed to have a reason to hide something.”

“…?”

What are you talking about?

“…Should I get off my teeth? It looks like we have arrived at the station.”

Cha Ji-yoon looked at the subway display board.

“Yes.”

She and I got off the station and started going together to the place where the secret auction house was being held.

I came out of her station and asked her.

“By the way, can I ask you something?”

“…Yes.”

“May I ask why you took the subway?”

I was curious.

She would have been able to get to her secret auction house in the comfort of her personal chauffeur and luxury sedan.

Why did she bother to come by subway?

“…I thought it was necessary to develop a sense of self-reliance..”

“Yes?”

“…Until now, it seems that I only relied on Secretary Kim too much. The empty space felt quite large. So I thought I needed to develop some self-reliance from now on.”

“Ah.. I see.”

“..Well, aside from that, I was also curious about the subway.”

“…?”

I stared blankly at her.

She smiled as her eyes met mine.

“…Now we have arrived.”

She and I arrived in front of the secret auction house.

From the outside, it looked like an ordinary concert hall.

“So Jiyoon Cha and your companion are here. I will guide you.”

From now on, a person in a suit came out to meet me.

“Oh, and the rules of our auction house have changed since the last raid.”

“…Something?”

“You can choose the mask you want from here. For the safety of the guests, I decided it would be better to cover your identity with a mask.”

He showed several masks.

“…I understand.”

Me and Cha Ji-yoon chose masks there and went inside.

When I entered the interior, the interior, which was decorated with luxurious items, came into sight.

To the point where I was mistaken that I was at a ballroom.

“I will guide you to the VIP room. This side.”

The staff led us to the VIP room.

The auction house could be seen through the glass window of the VIP room.

“You can sit here and enjoy. Really. And mouth-watering foods are ready. What would you like to eat?”

I was still hungry just for the hamburger, but it went well

The staff showed us the menu.

[ Bird’s nest soup – 1.2 Million won]

[ Wagyu Steak – 2,000,000 won]

[Beluga Caviar – KRW 3,000,000]

….

“…….”

Isn’t the price really crazy?

There is absolutely nothing I can do.

By the way, I don’t even want to eat much in the first place.

You have to try it to know what it tastes like. I haven’t tried it in the first place, so I’m not very attracted to it.

..’Bulgogi’ pizza – KRW 20,000.

Actually, that’s what attracts me the most right now.

“For me, bulgogi pizza is fine.”

“…This is what I buy, so wouldn’t it be better to have something more expensive?”

“I like this.”

“…Well, I understand. Bird’s nest soup and bulgogi pizza, please.”

“Yes. All right.”

The waiter left immediately.

About 10 minutes later.

“The bird’s nest soup and bulgogi pizza you ordered are here.”

He didn’t even ask, and the bird’s nest soup was served in front of Cha Ji-yoon.

I left the bulgogi pizza in front of me.

“…”

Isn’t this discrimination?

Well, it doesn’t really matter.

I picked up a slice of pizza.

Cha Ji-yoon took a spoon and sipped the soup.

She tilted her head.

As expected, it doesn’t seem to fit my mouth.

“Does it fit in your mouth?”

I asked Cha Ji-yoon.

“…Yes. It’s perfect for my taste.”

“Really?”

“…Yes.”

And then she took a sip of the soup.

However, his eyes were still fixed on my pizza.

Her I felt like making fun of her a little bit.

I put a slice of pizza into my mouth.

The cheese continued to grow.

Her gaze blankly followed the cheese.

She licked her lips as the pizza went into her mouth.

“…Would you like a piece?”

I told her.

She’d definitely say no, but yes I asked for a costume.

And again the moment I put the pizza in my mouth.

“…I can’t help it because you asked me that much.”

Cha Ji-yoon tore up a slice of pizza and placed it on her plate.

“…Yes? Please.”

“I don’t like this very much. However, since the life saver asked for it, I have no choice but to eat it.”

“……?”

“..It would be embarrassing if you asked me to do something like this in the future. I will listen specially this time.”

Yes?

With that said, she slit her pizza.

Her expression began to be colored with happiness.
