I Became the Student Council President of Academy City-Chapter 99

Golden Ram had been watching over An Woo-jin and Kim Dal-bi for a long time. She had noticed something troubling and had come to this otherworldly realm to resolve it.

This was not the world Woo-jin lived in but another parallel world.

A place where beings of high rank, who couldn’t be observed by humans and were often considered 'gods,' resided.

"Kim Dal-bi. The price for using her powers seems incredibly unfair, doesn’t it?"

[“Does being an avatar of the Golden Ram give you the right to meddle in others' affairs?”]

The Goblin King retorted with a hint of irritation in his voice.

[“All I desire are the vivid resources that arise from intense memories and emotions. I don’t understand why that bothers you. If anything, you should be pleased that she can use my powers to that extent.”]

A unique ability.

As Golden Ram had explained to Woo-jin, it was a type of power granted by beings of a higher dimension.

The unique ability that Kim Dal-bi possessed was derived from the Goblin King.

[“But why are you concerned with our matters?”]

"For a simple reason: it annoys me."

[“What?”]

"Seeing someone lose their memories isn’t exactly pleasant from where I stand."

The Goblin King exhaled deeply.

[“I had no intention of making a contract with such a human in the first place.”]

"...I didn’t expect that answer. What do you mean?"

[“There was a human who made a proposition to me. I found it intriguing, so I generously accepted it. That human offered the memories and emotions of a person named Kim Dal-bi in exchange. It wasn’t much to me, but it seemed entertaining, so I agreed to the contract.”]

There was a human who had orchestrated the contract between the Goblin King and Kim Dal-bi.

"Who was this person who made the offer?"

[“I don’t know. I’m not interested in human affairs. But why should I be telling you this?”]

"You don’t need to know why. Just answer the question. Describe the appearance of that human thoroughly."

Crack!!

Golden Ram’s eyes flashed, and numerous fractures appeared around her.

The Goblin King frowned, and his guards immediately took up battle stances.

This was not the world where Woo-jin had received his powers, so Golden Ram's abilities could be fully unleashed here.

Golden Ram glared at the Goblin King and spoke.

"My questions aren’t requests—they’re demands."

[…….]

"Fix the price for using Kim Dal-bi’s power and answer my question. I won’t repeat myself."

The Goblin King's lips curled into a smile.

[“What makes that human so important that someone like you would go so far as to overturn our contract? You and I both know how sacred and binding contracts are.”]

"She’s someone I care about."

[“I see… That’s a clear and simple reason.”]

The Goblin King rose from his throne.

Whoosh!

As he extended his arm to the side, a magical club appeared in his hand.

[“If you defeat me, I’ll do as you ask. However, if I win, you must grant my request.”]

"You’re a cocky brat."

Golden Ram smiled, and the Goblin King's face filled with excitement.

[“It’s been a while since I’ve had such entertainment…!”]

Immediately, magic clashed, and Golden Ram and the Goblin King engaged in battle.

……

Near the Zero Zone

An Woo-jin, after confessing his feelings to Oh Baek-seo, took advantage of her momentary confusion to make a request. He asked her to take Kim Dal-bi to her home and hide her.

He briefly explained that Dal-bi was in a state of magic depletion and wouldn’t pose a threat.

Woo-jin had expected to need some persuasion, even with Baek-seo, as it was unreasonable for the head of the disciplinary committee to ask her to hide a notorious criminal.

However, Baek-seo quickly composed herself and complied with the request. In fact, she had already been considering hiding Dal-bi herself.

Given how much the situation had escalated, it wouldn’t be surprising if something happened to Dal-bi in the near future.

Baek-seo’s swift compliance left Woo-jin more surprised than anything else.

—"Before you go, let me ask you something."

—"What is it?"

—"Did you find anything at the hideout?"

Baek-seo shook her head.

—"So you came straight for me… I see. Check it out later if you can."

—"I will."

Baek-seo took Dal-bi and left.

Shortly after, the disciplinary committee arrived on the scene.

Ha Ye-song led the committee members into the Zero Zone, while Park Min-hyuk and the recovery team took care of Woo-jin.

The devastated Zero Zone.

Woo-jin, covered in wounds.

Anyone could tell that a fierce battle had taken place here.

Min-hyuk loaded Woo-jin into a vehicle and immediately began channeling healing magic to restore him.

The disciplinary committee vehicle headed towards the hospital.

Screech!

—"Stop right there!"

Police academy vehicles blocked the road, preventing the Ahseong High School disciplinary committee from proceeding.

Woo-jin, half-conscious, watched with blurred vision as the disciplinary committee and the police academy argued. Their voices reached his ears in disjointed fragments.

One thing was clear.

The police academy had realized that a major incident had occurred and wanted to take custody of Woo-jin for investigation.

Since the Zero Zone was a neutral area under their jurisdiction, they had a valid reason.

Woo-jin, despite Min-hyuk’s protests, insisted that he was fine and walked over to the police academy on his own. Min-hyuk couldn’t understand Woo-jin’s intentions, but Woo-jin reassured him that it was alright.

And so, the police academy took Woo-jin into custody, treated him, and then placed him in detention.

……

At Oh Baek-seo’s House

"Ugh…"

Kim Dal-bi groaned in pain as she slowly opened her eyes.

She felt a soft, warm sensation beneath her.

It didn’t take long for her to realize that she wasn’t in a hospital bed but on a clean, comfortable bed.

"You're awake?"

"!"

Startled by the gentle voice, Dal-bi flinched.

The voice belonged to Oh Baek-seo, who was standing by the kitchen, ladling warm soup into a bowl on a tray before approaching Dal-bi.

"Baek-seo…?"

"Yes, it’s me."

"Can you not refer to yourself in the third person…? But what’s going on? Why am I here?"

Dal-bi was clearly confused.

Baek-seo placed the tray on a nearby cabinet and sat down in the chair next to the bed.

"The President gave me instructions."

"The President? The head of the disciplinary committee at Ahseong High?"

"Yes, An Woo-jin."

"Why would he…?"

"He said you saved him. He also mentioned that you were the one who gave him that peony flower, just like you did for me."

"……?"

Baek-seo didn’t miss the look of confusion that crossed Dal-bi’s face.

"…Do you remember who the President is?"

Baek-seo recalled how Dal-bi had completely forgotten about the promise they made in childhood. In fact, she had forgotten all their childhood memories.

However, it wasn’t like amnesia, where all memory was lost. Rather, it seemed that specific memories had been erased, leaving gaps in her recollection.

Baek-seo suspected that this memory loss was a result of the price Dal-bi had to pay for using her unique ability.

"Haha… I really have no idea what’s going on."

"That doesn’t matter. Do you remember Woo-jin?"

Dal-bi thought for a moment before lowering her head.

"The boy I saw at the hospital earlier? The one with the teal-colored magic in his eyes…"

"I don’t know about the hospital, but yes, that’s him."

"This is confusing."

Dal-bi gave Baek-seo a meaningful look and smiled slightly.

"Are you and I really on speaking terms like this?"

"……."

An uneasy silence filled the room.

Baek-seo studied Dal-bi’s expression.

There was a hint of wariness.

As if she was prepared to fight at any moment.

Recently, they had been allies, fighting together. But this reaction was unnaturally distant.

Had she lost her memories again?

"Hmm."

Seeing no reason to hide the truth, Baek-seo swallowed her anxiety and spoke up.

"If I’m not mistaken… we had agreed to fight together, didn’t we?"

"Us?"

Dal-bi clicked her tongue.

She seemed incredulous.

Baek-seo quietly observed the changes in Dal-bi’s expression.

"You definitely left me behind, didn’t you? And now you’re somehow the vice president of the disciplinary committee at Ahseong High, and the other day you even tried to…! Ah."

Dal-bi’s words trailed off.

She was bandaged all over.

Her magic was depleted.

Her entire body ached.

Baek-seo was taking care of her.

Woo-jin, who had said she was someone precious to him.

And… the countless gaps in her memory.

With all these clues right in front of her, even a fool could piece together what had happened.

Dal-bi pressed her hand against her forehead and bowed her head. Her eyes spun in confusion.

"I must have forgotten something again… What happened between us…?"

"Shh."

Baek-seo placed her hand over Dal-bi’s.

"Calm down. I’ll explain everything slowly."

"……."

Dal-bi nodded slightly.

Baek-seo took her time, patiently explaining everything that had happened between them.

Their childhood memories.

Their arguments.

How they had resolved their misunderstandings and decided to work together.

Baek-seo’s gentle voice filled the quiet room.

As Dal-bi responded occasionally, Baek-seo could infer where the gaps in her memory were. She provided more detailed and supplementary explanations for those parts.

"So it was… a misunderstanding. That’s why we ended up parting ways…"

Was Baek-seo lying?

No.

If Baek-seo wasn’t telling the truth, she wouldn’t have approached her in such a friendly manner.

Baek-seo stood up and helped Dal-bi lie back down.

"…Rest for now. Take your time to process everything."

"Did we really reconcile?"

"I don’t know if ‘reconcile’ is the right word, but we resolved our misunderstanding. I hope you can think of it in a positive light."

Baek-seo smiled warmly at Dal-bi, who was lying down.

"I accepted it in a positive way."

Dal-bi stared blankly at Baek-seo.

Bzzz.

Suddenly, Baek-seo’s smartphone vibrated in her pocket. She answered the call.

"Yes. What’s going on?"

—"Vice President! I don’t know what mission you’re on, but the President has just…!"

Park Min-hyuk’s urgent voice came through the phone, explaining that Woo-jin had been taken into custody by the police academy. As he spoke, Baek-seo’s eyes narrowed.
