I Became the Leader of Academy City

83 – Discipline 27. The Leader Does Not Let Down His Guard (3)

A few days ago, the leadership department’s executive office.

‘This is Kim Yeon-hee…’

I looked at Kim Yeon-hee’s document information on the computer. Looking at the ID photo, it seemed like he was wearing round glasses with large frames.

It looks like the self-introduction was written and submitted as a document file.

In other words, the handwriting was unknown.

When she was a student at Hanyang Federal Academy, her grades were in the upper middle class.

Her rank was estimated to be 4th rank, and her grades in combat subjects were high.

There was a phrase that said, ‘There is no problem with communication, but the relationship with friends is not smooth.’ Was she not good at getting along with people?

‘If there is a connection between this kid and the principal… ‘ .’

Kim Yeon-hee won the grand prize in a contest hosted by the principal and earned platinum mileage.

Moreover, in a situation where I had clearly imprinted my presence in Academy City, the super elite of Hanyang Federal Academy came to Aseong High School’s leadership team.

Han Seo-jin’s purpose was to monitor Oh Baek-seo, and Han Seo-jin is currently crystallized and imprisoned.

When looking at these circumstances, there was ample room for suspicion, as student council secretary Yoon Tae-ho said.

The problem is.

‘But would the principal send such a suspicious child?’

In fact, it’s almost suspicious that it’s suspicious.

“Hmm…”

What on earth is this ominous premonition?

This dirty feeling, as if some unexpected trend was targeting me, as if things were going to get messy.

‘Done…’

I leaned back against the backrest and sighed.

‘Kim Yeon-hee decided to look carefully during the interview. She should start thinking about becoming the principal.’

This is why we are closely examining Moon Chae-yeon’s underground facilities.

Finding evidence that can reveal the principal’s guilt.

The most important goal is Lee Doo-hee’s resignation as her principal.

We must destroy her chain of command by taking away the power that holds her strong.

‘But, is the principal trying to kill himself this semester?’

In the original, the principal would have committed suicide this semester.

Why?

‘Maybe it was Oh Baek-seo’s work.’

In the original work, Oh Baek-seo thoroughly prepared a plan to kill the principal and implemented the plan in the second semester.

In other words, it was highly likely that the principal’s suicide was the result of the White Paper. Because there is nothing that can come to mind as a dramatic variable other than the white paper.

‘And the plan…’

It reminded me of the ‘plan to kill the headmaster’ that I saw at Baek Seo’s house.

White Paper had a plan in place to deal with the headmaster while avoiding Seo Kang-jin, the strongest among the Spartoys.

Considering White Paper’s capabilities, it was an assassination plan that could succeed if done well. But now it has become a useless plan.

However, even if the plan was successful, questions remain.

‘Why was it a suicide instead of a fatal shooting?’

If everything went according to plan, the headmaster would have lost his life to White Paper’s blade.

However, what was the expression on the headmaster’s face when he committed suicide in the original work?

It was gentle.

Like a person who gave up everything and wished for death.

It was a psychological change that I couldn’t quite put together in my head when I thought about the actions the headmaster had made so far.

How on earth.

Can a person change that much in just one semester?

‘Anyway, now I’m not sure if the principal will commit suicide.’

So, we’ll have to deal with her assuming the worst case scenario, that is, if her headmaster doesn’t commit suicide.

We should not let down our guard at all.

…

‘You seem nervous, but you speak well.’

Currently.

The interview for new members of the leadership team went smoothly.

Even though Kim Yeon-hee showed signs of being nervous, she answered questions well. Should I say she’s okay?

By the way, she taps her thigh for some reason.

‘That. Morse code is… Isn’t it?’

When I interpreted it as Morse code, her words became incoherent. Maybe it was because she was just nervous.

Glancing. She squinted at the white paper. Her eyes were only focused on the documents. It seemed like she wasn’t interested in the applicants.

She was worried that the white paper would ask the wrong question, but she didn’t think that would happen.

‘Kim Yeon-hee will definitely pass.’

Her transfer student Kim Yeon-hee, did well with her grades at Hanyang Federal Academy.

She had decent fighting skills and there were no obstacles.

In fact, joining the leadership team is confirmed.

It would be cheating to drop Kim Yeon-hee.

“… I heard you well. Do you have any last words?”

Each person answered my questions one by one.

A radical statement that he would cut off the flesh and bones of criminals.

A simple statement that one will achieve justice or that he or she will do his best.

And Kim Yeon-hee’s turn.

“Jeon…”

Kim Yeon-hee took a moment to catch her breath and spoke.

“I want to become a leading member of the department who will catch any criminals and make them pay for their crimes. “I ask that you please select me.”

Eyes full of determination.

A calmness that was different from before was evident on his face

“…”

I quietly looked at Kim Yeon-hee.

‘How…’

She didn’t really feel like she was winning

There was a strangely nostalgic feeling somewhere.

It was difficult for her to understand the identity of her discomfort.

Time passed, and the interview ended without any problems.

I organized the documents and turned my shoulders. After saying hello to the interviewers and sending them off, only me and the white paper remained in the interview room.

White Paper put the organized documents into his briefcase

“Thank you for your hard work, manager.”

“You too.”

“I have to work hard tomorrow too, right?”

“Tomorrow too… That’s how it should be.”

There is an interview tomorrow as well.

‘It’s difficult…’

I feel like throwing up…

On the other hand, the white paper seemed relaxed.

“Are you going to the training ground right away?”

“I’m going to do that for now. “And you?”

“I’m going home right away. “I want to get some rest today.”

No, it can’t be relaxed.

The white paper must have been tired too.

I just don’t show it.

Should I say that I couldn’t help it… The white paper also helped me with the personnel work I brought in.

“Okay. Enter carefully. Should I buy a late-night snack?”

The white paper made a snorting noise and shook his head.

“It’s hard to control yourself if you do that at night.”

“Ah.”

I guess so.

White Paper is also a woman.

Also, dating me.

He’s also worried about his weight his his…

No, wait a minute.

“… “It’s about a late-night snack, right?”

“Yes? Well?”

“?”

White paper tilting her head

There was a slyness in that gentle smile.

“See you later then.”

“Uh? Uh…”

The white paper left the place without her having time to ask.

…

Training ground.

It was a time to train unique abilities as usual.

It felt real that the penalty arrived very late. Thanks to this, I was able to focus on training and sweat without any pressure.

Geumyang was rolling around on the floor, munching on snacks, but just before the penalty of her unique ability occurred, she came up to me like a ghost and held my hand.

“Whoa…”

After catching my breath, wiping my sweat, and waiting for the penalty to subside.

I asked Geumyang.

“You said last time that you might be able to drop a meteorite in space, right?”

“Yes?”

“If that’s even possible… Rather than using that method, wouldn’t it be better to open a crack near the enemy and attack from the opposite side of the crack? For example, attacking using the deep sea environment.”

Geumyang shook her head.

“Can’t be done.” Between cracks, that is, in wormholes, the environment on the other side of the crack is stabilized. “If that were possible, I would have taught you a long time ago.”

In the end, the story was that the wormhole acted as a stabilizer.

“This is the same even in extreme environments boasting absolute zero or extremely high temperatures. To a certain extent, even if you create a crack between here and the sun, it doesn’t matter as long as you don’t go over the crack.”

“Even the sun… ? “A wormhole is that big?”

“I guess you didn’t realize how amazing that wormhole was?”

Geumyang frowned one eyebrow and shook her head.

My eyes have become ax eyes.

“How would I know if you didn’t tell me…” ” ?”

“Good. “Let me explain.”

Geumyang came in front of me and stretched out his right index finger and held out his left fist.

“Ignoring the laws of this world and connecting the wrong space means the distortion of space and time. What if you travel through space through a crack without a wormhole?”

Geumyang folded his right index finger while trying to attach it to his left fist.

“Whether it is your body or any object that moves, it is completely disintegrated. Because you have to deal with enormous energy and unbelievable speed. There’s no way you could endure something like that.”

“Hmm…”

“Anyway, for space movement to be successful in that state, the things that went through the crack must be completely reconstructed at the destination. “You wouldn’t know it if it was just an atom, but it’s difficult to do that with things that are big enough to be seen.”

In other words, you die.

Geumyang unfolded her right index finger again.

“Furthermore, space is a concept that cannot be separated from time. A continuum called ‘space-time’. In the end, even if the movement is successful, a time error occurs. The side effects are ‘unknown’ territory.”

Geumyang placed her right index finger on his left fist and then bent her right index finger wildly.

It seemed to mean ‘something is happening.’

“Then what happens?”

“Your existence, which must exist in another time zone, will overlap. It would be better if it were just that, but there is a high possibility that more problems will arise. Errors in time are not something to be taken lightly. “I don’t know the details.”

“… So. In the end, ‘wormholes’ are the solution to all the problems?”

“Yes. It is a kind of ‘breakwater.'”

Geumyang lifted both hands.

“Space movement has many side effects and requires an enormous amount of energy. Moreover, in order to deal with abilities, the distortion of space and time must also be resolved. “The wormhole was designed to overcome that through the action of my authority and magic, and joined the mechanism of space control ability.”

Geumyang smiled and said proudly, putting both hands on his waist her her her her.

“They say the wormhole itself is a collection of astronomical magical power!”

Does it feel like an inexplicable miracle caused by magical power? .

Geumyang pointed at me with her index finger.

“Even if just a little bit of magic power flows through the wormhole, the magic power is amplified, right? That’s why. That’s why staying in a wormhole for a long time can have negative effects on you.”

Geumyang took a step next to me.

“Do you understand? No matter how extreme the environment is, even if it is connected by a crack, the wormhole cannot be stabilized, and the environment of the wormhole created with even more extreme magical energy cannot be changed. What is the point of dropping a drop of cold water into boiling hot water? “Only the changes that occurred inside the wormhole can be exported out of the crack.”

“I wondered why that was… “I finally understand a little bit.”

A wormhole is a collection of enormous magical energy.

Therefore, even if a small amount of electric power was released inside the wormhole, it was amplified through the wormhole.

“But why are you telling me that now?”

“Telling this to an inexperienced kid will only give me a headache, so why not?”

“… That’s also true.”

I was convinced.

“Ruler. Keep training, kid. There is still a long way to go.”

Geumyang patted my back and passed by.

‘Wormhole…’

A space that has now become familiar to us because it welcomes us every time we cross the crack.

‘Is there a way to apply this?’

Suddenly, a new concern arose.

* * *

Kim Yeon-hee took her seat at the movie theater with popcorn and a drink. The remaining seats were empty.

The movie started showing on the big screen.

It was a late night movie.

It also has a very low rating.

Moreover, since it was late at night, it wouldn’t have been strange if there were no customers.

Besides Yeonhee, a new guest entered the theater.

The customer left the numerous seats and sat next to Yeonhee.

She was a female student with short hair.

However, Yeonhee did not pay attention to her guest sitting next to her.

“Are you here?”

All I do is chew popcorn and say hello.

“Yes.”

Oh Baek-seo, a short-haired female student, answered calmly while keeping her eyes fixed on the screen.

“It looks like surveillance has been neglected?”

“Yes, it’s loose. There have been a lot of days like these days. I guess that means the old lady’s condition has gotten much worse.”

“I see.”

“… Huh?”

Yeonhee narrowed her eyes and smiled sarcastically when she saw Baekseo’s waist.

“Baekryundo… , Did you really lose it? The world’s five most powerful swords are wearing ordinary swords. Is it a big deal? It must have been an important weapon… “Do you think she doesn’t know how to take care of her own things properly?”

“Oh right. Are your thighs okay? It may have already healed, but it must have been quite painful. I am very concerned that there is still some psychological pain left behind. “Aren’t you mentally weak?”

“Hehe, that’s the reaction I expected.”

The two talked quietly with smiling faces.

It was revealed that there had been a rift between the principal, and the misunderstanding was resolved.

In the end, the only emotions left for the two were anger, hatred, and… It was a pity.

“… Modified Morse code. “It’s been a while.”

The white paper said.

The headmaster’s subordinates communicate after modifying Morse code according to specific rules.

The reason why Yeonhee tapped her thighs as if she was nervous during the leadership interview was to convey the modified Morse code to Baek Seo.

Naturally, the white paper was quickly recognized.

Yeonhee said that she had something to say about the meeting place, time, movie to be shown, seating location, and the principal.

“I guess the mission is the same as Han Seo-jin?”

“Huh. “I have nothing to hide.”

From noble mtl dot come

Last semester, Han Seo-jin’s mission was to monitor Oh Baek-seo.

The white paper predicted that perhaps even Ahn Woo-jin would now be subject to surveillance.

“Anyway, your camouflage skills are quite good, right? “I didn’t recognize it at all at first.”

“You would have figured it out after a while. It’s obvious that you would catch all my subtle habits. And I already knew that you guys were keeping a close eye on me.”

Yeonhee, or rather Kim Dalbi, took off her glasses and swept her braided silver hair down in front of her shoulders.

“So you’re the first to voluntarily give up and surrender, is this what you’re talking about?”

“Because I can’t help it~. So I changed direction. “Let’s expose the identity first and talk to you.”

“That’s really wise. So, what do you have to talk about?”

Although the misunderstanding has already been resolved, the white paper did not let down its guard.

To the extent that I looked around the area and took every precaution before coming to this movie theater.

Anyway, the two people were now standing on opposite sides. It wasn’t strange if Dalbi suddenly changed at any time.

Dalby stared at the screen where the movie was playing.

There was no need to expect fun since it was a boring movie with poor reviews anyway. However, it was really convenient to not have to deal with awkward eye contact.

The sound of the movie penetrated the ears of the two female students.

There was a scene where the main character held his breath and entered his house on a dark night.

The main character’s family welcomed him. However, the protagonist, who injured his head, did not recognize his family due to his memory loss, and the family was in shock.

At that time, Dalby opened his mouth again.

“Oh Baek-seo, the reason you were granted freedom. “Tell me what it is.”

Although Baekseo was under the leadership of the headmaster, he is now enjoying his own freedom. The reason was kept secret.

“Why should I do that?”

The white paper asked in a friendly tone.

Darkness fell over Dalbi’s lifeless eyes.

“I’m going to catch that damn old woman. So tell me about that old lady’s weaknesses. The reason you were given freedom. You’re holding onto that old lady’s weakness, right? “If you fail, I can do it for you.”

Dalby had already made up his mind.

“I am… “I just can’t forgive that old woman.”

“Yes. “I haven’t given up on anything yet.”

“… Huh?”

Dalby looked back at the white paper.

“It’s obvious that they will target us sooner or later anyway, so we can’t just sit still.”

“What do you mean ‘us’?”

“Our leader.”

The water has already been spilled.

Even though Woojin knew who the enemy was, he decided to take Baekseo’s side

The White Paper also accepted him.

“We will take that person down.”

So the White Paper would fight together.

“And…”

Baekseo turned to Dalbi, and the two made eye contact.

Baek Seo’s kind smile was reflected in Dalbi’s dark eyes.

“Now you too will join that ‘cage’?”

“… ?”

As time passed, Dalbi’s eyes widened. Life gradually returned to those eyes.

“What are you saying now… ?”

Baek Seo’s words a little while ago sounded like he was saying that he would consider Dalbi an ally.

Is there another meaning?

Dalbi had to think about Baek Seo’s words over and over in his head for a while.

“Now that we have properly organized our position, it is over. I haven’t forgiven the manager for messing with me yet… “But the enemy of my enemy is my friend, right?”

“… I’m serious? “Change your mind like this?”

“Huh. “I think this is right.”

Dal-bi was dumbfounded, but Baek-seo didn’t care. However, the white paper also seemed to have put a lot of thought into it.

Baek Seo took a pause and then confessed.

“Hey, didn’t I like you a lot?”

“What! Oh, it makes me cringe so suddenly… !?”

Dalby’s face turned red as he was taken aback by the completely unexpected remark.

“I have a bit of an ugly side now, but I had to catch you and there was a misunderstanding… So sorry. “I did something stupid.”

The white paper smiled awkwardly and gently scratched his cheek.

Dalbi, who fully understood Baek Seo’s words her her, opened her mouth and was lost in her thoughts her her, and then she was amazed.

“And… You really…”

‘Despicably… ‘The words quietly flowed from Dalbi’s mouth her her her her. She said ‘huh’ one after another and even burst out laughing.

The heavy air changed in an instant.

Dalby announced her intention to stand up to her headmaster, and Baek Seo cleared up the misunderstanding she had toward Dalby.

The amount of bad feelings they had for each other wasn’t that big, and in fact, Baek Seo even liked Dalbi as her friend.

There was no longer anything to bother the two of them.

If this happened, the white paper did not want to leave Dalby alone any longer.

“So don’t do it alone.”

Baek Seo raised her head towards Dal-bi and said.

“Let’s do this together from now on.” “We decided to do that, right?”

“I decided to do that… ?”

“Yes.”

White Paper nodded her head.

As a child, she recalled the time when she and Dalbi picked peony flowers.

“I made a promise to myself while picking peonies in the flower garden. Let’s get angry at each other properly. To that person. At that time…”

“… ?”

“So, that… When.”

The white paper’s smiling face slowly sank.

Because Dalbi’s face belonged to someone who couldn’t recall her memories at all.

An unexpected ominous energy took hold of the white paper.

“We… When did that happen… ?”

Dalby’s cautious question made Baekseo’s time stop for a while.

The sound stopped.

The movie had reached a quiet scene.

It was a scene where the main character, who had lost her memory her her, looked blankly at the meadow her with her her father her her her, trying to recall memories that she had not come to mind.
