I Became the Student Council President of Academy City-Chapter 109

Seo-jin immediately utilized his magic to strengthen his body and escaped his confines.

“Emergency—!”

The Spartoi was about to report when—

Smash!

The surveillance wall was destroyed, and Seo-jin’s hand was already gripping the Spartoi’s head. In the next moment, dark purple magic surged into Seo-jin’s hand.

A sinister aura seeped into the Spartoi’s entire body, and his eyes turned bloodshot.

‘This magic… it’s different from before…!’

The Spartoi was an aide to the Principal.

So, he knew about Seo-jin, one of the Six Criminals.

But for some reason, Seo-jin’s magical density was on a completely different level than before.

So much so that the Spartoi couldn’t even hope to match it.

Thud.

The Spartoi finally collapsed like a puppet with its strings cut and breathed his last.

“What was that noise?! Huff...!”

Hearing the loud noise, the other Spartoi rushed into the surveillance compartment, startled, but they quickly assessed the situation and prepared for battle.

Seo-jin’s cold, emotionless eyes locked onto them.

It took less than 30 seconds for them to become corpses.

“Ugh, I’m stiff…”

Seo-jin stretched, placing one hand on his shoulder and tilting his neck from side to side.

He was still wearing the same hooded robe he had on when he crystallized right after losing to An Woo-jin.

Seo-jin reached into his robe and pulled out a half-shattered skull mask, which he placed on his face. At that moment, the Necromancer, one of the Six Criminals, had returned.

In the transport compartment, everyone except the driver had been killed.

All at the hands of just one person, Han Seo-jin.

The operation was so silent that the driver was completely unaware of what had transpired.

Seo-jin started walking. Soon, dark purple magic emanated from the floor, and his body sank beneath it.

Only the corpses remained in the transport compartment.

Inside the other escort vehicle that was traveling alongside.

Moon Chae-yeon was spending her time with her eyes closed, clad in a special restraint suit.

Since the vehicle was designed for the transportation and confinement of criminals, the transport compartment was well-equipped with restraining facilities.

Chae-yeon clicked her tongue, feeling more uncomfortable than she did back at Ahseong High School.

“What the hell is going on... Huh?”

Suddenly, Chae-yeon sensed something off and opened her eyes wide.

For some reason, the presence of the people in the surveillance compartment beyond the mirror had disappeared. Or more accurately... had they collapsed?

Soon, she felt a chilling presence behind her. In the reflection on the surveillance wall, she could see a dark purple magic circle forming on the floor, and something was being summoned.

Chae-yeon turned her head back and caught sight of a familiar face.

“Ohhh...!”

Chae-yeon exclaimed in awe.

The person who appeared behind her was the expressionless schoolgirl, Han Seo-jin.

“When did you wake up!? Did you come to rescue me?”

Seo-jin didn’t respond and instead summoned a spectral beast. The summoned creature swung its sharp claws and tore through Chae-yeon’s special restraint suit.

“Whoa~.”

Chae-yeon whistled as she stood up.

“Oops.”

It had been so long since she last stood that her legs wobbled, struggling to support her weight.

Once she regained her balance, Chae-yeon grinned and stared at Seo-jin.

“Wow, this is amazing! Is this what freedom feels like? It’s been so long since I stood up that it’s hard to stay on my feet. Hehe...!”

“Spartoi will soon realize this escort has been compromised and deploy reinforcements. The ones here were weak, but if proper support arrives, things will get tough.”

“Spartoi? Even if they show up, I don’t think I’ll lose. Unless Suh Kang-jin comes, that is~. But you, you’ve gotten stronger, haven’t you?”

“A lot has happened.”

Seo-jin extended his magic-infused hand and placed it against the surveillance wall.

Boom!

The surveillance wall shattered effortlessly.

Chae-yeon rolled her wrists, stretching her body. The smile on her face gradually faded.

“You know...”

“?”

Seo-jin stopped in her tracks.

“When I briefly died, it was you I met, wasn’t it?”

“...Yes.”

Chae-yeon let out a small laugh.

“Why? Is there something that happens when we die? Like, does the sky suddenly turn red...? I felt really scared back then.”

“I’ll tell you while we’re on the move.”

Screech.

“......”

In an instant, Chae-yeon generated mechanical blades from her arms and held them to Seo-jin’s neck.

Seo-jin calmly turned to face Chae-yeon.

A bright smile hung on Chae-yeon’s lips.

“I don’t remember agreeing to follow you. And I don’t get why someone with no sense of camaraderie would go out of their way to save me~? You’re really suspicious, you know that?”

“I learned the truth. That’s why I want you to help me.”

“The truth? Out of nowhere, the truth? What, did you have a chat with the Grim Reaper or something? Heaven or Hell? Did you see some sort of afterlife? What truth?”

Seo-jin fully turned toward Chae-yeon. Seeing the seriousness in her face, Chae-yeon lowered her mechanical blades. She hadn’t intended to attack Seo-jin in the first place.

Chae-yeon raised both hands and shrugged.

“Well, whatever. I’ve already made up my mind about what I’m going to do.”

“About what...?”

“Everything’s annoying. Everything just pisses me off.”

Chae-yeon smiled brightly, extended her arm, and pointed her thumb downward.

“So I’m going to destroy this city, along with the Principal, and make a real mess of things.”

“...Like the Disciplinary Committee President?”

“Eh?” Chae-yeon was taken aback.

“The Disciplinary Committee President? You mean An Woo-jin?”

“Yes.”

“No way, why would that guy...?”

The idea that the Disciplinary Committee President, someone who upheld the law and order, wanted to destroy the Academy City.

Understanding how dire the situation must be for him to consider such a thing, Chae-yeon couldn’t help but be shocked.

“Aha, aha! Hehe...! So that’s it. Our Disciplinary Committee President~, he’s finally decided to go all the way to hell, huh?”

Chae-yeon clasped her hands together and reacted playfully. The thought of the situation alone was enough to amuse her.

Suddenly, thoughts of Woo-jin’s girls, Kim Dal-bi and Oh Baek-seo, flashed through Chae-yeon’s mind. They had endured all kinds of suffering while resisting the Principal.

“Well, I guess that makes sense. He’s been through so much because of the Principal. I bet it’s absolute chaos now.”

“Probably.”

Chae-yeon walked past Seo-jin.

“...So, what will you do?”

“What do you think? I’m going to do whatever I want!”

“Whatever you want?”

Chae-yeon stopped and looked back at Seo-jin.

With an expression that said it was only natural.

“If the Disciplinary Committee President is trying to destroy this city along with the Principal, then our interests perfectly align, don’t they?”

A smirk crept across Chae-yeon’s face.

“I don’t like the Disciplinary Committee President, but I like this. I’m sure of it! I can finally get rid of this suffocating feeling that’s been weighing on my chest!”

“......”

“And you?”

“I think my path is the same as yours.”

“Because of that truth or whatever?”

“Yes.”

“You mentioned before that you needed to help An Woo-jin. Is that related to what you discovered?”

“Yes.”

“Tell me on the way. I’m curious.”

“Yes.”

“Is ‘yes’ the only thing you can say?”

“Yes...?”

Chae-yeon and Seo-jin opened the transport compartment door and stepped out of the vehicle.

Under the darkened sky.

They landed on the road.

At that moment, a swarm of security drones patrolling Neo Seoul spotted them.

And the androids of the Martial Law Guards on patrol raised an alarm.

“The city’s looking really bleak. Even near the Central Area. And those tin cans... they’re not your average ones, are they? Ah, the martial law has been declared, hasn’t it?”

Chae-yeon clicked her tongue and formed a mechanical spear, gripping it firmly.

[Switching to combat mode.]

The androids, sensing magic, all shifted into combat mode.

“There are a lot of them. Conserve your magic and focus on escaping.”

“Han Seo-jin, you know, it’s been a really long time since I last moved? Can you imagine how much my body has been itching? Could you at least consider that?”

“Hah... Fine, do as you please...”

Then, it happened.

Koooooooom!

A deafening sound brushed past their ears like a hallucination.

Before they realized it, something heavy had covered the world, making them feel as if their bodies were being crushed flat.

For a moment, they thought they were dead.

But when they looked down in shock, they found their bodies were unharmed.

All the lights illuminating the city went out simultaneously, plunging everything into darkness. Silence fell over the world, and then the city’s lights returned.

Chae-yeon and Seo-jin instinctively turned their heads in the same direction, cold sweat trickling down their backs.

Craaaack!!!

Something that shouldn’t be torn was tearing apart.

The sky itself split open, creating a massive and mystical rift. The overwhelming pressure felt as though a god was declaring the city’s destruction.

This was the heart of Neo Seoul.

The Central Tower stood at the center, the hub of administration.

Above it, a magical formula, crafted by someone’s magic, had formed.

Boom!

With each step the figure took, the surrounding buildings collapsed, and the ground caved in. The noise was not that of explosions but rather of everything succumbing to an incomprehensible force.

At the center of it all, a man walked forward, his eyes glowing teal.

With each step, the world around him knelt in submission.

The approaching androids and drones were sucked into the rift like a black hole, disintegrating as they went.

Even long-range attacks were futile. New rifts appeared, diverting the attacks to another dimension.

Boom!

The debris from the collapsing buildings flew toward Chae-yeon and Seo-jin. Chae-yeon generated a mechanical shield to block the debris, but the robots targeting them were all swept away and destroyed.

Beyond the fallen buildings and across the torn ground.

They saw the cataclysmic figure walking through the open path, a force of nature in human form.

They stared at the man in disbelief.

“We can’t get close...!”

“Who the hell is that guy...!?”

Even the nearby Martial Law Guards hesitated to approach.

They instinctively knew that getting closer would mean certain death.

Krrrraaaack!!

A gale whipped around the man who had become the target of Neo Seoul, and teal-colored thunder roared fiercely.

An astronomical flow of magic, now endowed with physical force, was sweeping through the area.

Amidst wielding all this destruction, the man’s face remained cold and resolute.

An Woo-jin.

The one who controlled space was now determined to destroy everything.

Chae-yeon swallowed dryly, forcing a laugh as she tried to maintain her composure.

“Who’s helping who here...?”

She had known the Disciplinary Committee President was strong, but to the point of being able to overthrow Neo Seoul?

What had once seemed like a humorous thought now filled Chae-yeon with a sudden and intense fear as she felt Woo-jin’s overwhelming magic firsthand.

That can’t be stopped.

That is something of an entirely different level.

Chae-yeon was certain that today, the Principal would lose everything.
