I Became the Leader of Academy City

75 – Discipline 24. The Leading Manager Follows Through to the End (12)

I stumbled and hurried my steps. She opened the door, entered the room on the other side, took a deep breath, and continued on her way. Eventually, an unknown machine appeared.

‘98%’ displayed on the electronic signboard.

The creature’s flesh and skin made up part of the machine. The machine was holding a woman captive.

The woman’s complexion was as pale as her corpse. She had strange patterns and veins on her skin.

The machine seemed to be sucking out her life force, and her elegant appearance had changed to look like she was on the verge of death.

It was five hundred books.

Vice leader of the leadership department.

Something sank in her chest.

I thought she would be happy when she found the white paper, but for some reason, a feeling of frustration was rising inside me.

Her eyes were tense and her teeth were gritted.

The tragic end of the child who had lived as a Spartoi and learned all kinds of murderous techniques was approaching.

I guessed that it was a sight I would never forget.

Why does the white paper have to be so miserable?

I couldn’t understand, and I didn’t want to.

So I decided to reject it.

The white paper was made like this, the back of this damn Academy City.

“It’s white paper.”

I used my last strength to lift the Cheolryonggon.

“Let’s go back.”

I swung the Iron Dragon as is.

* * *

Ahn Woo-jin walked with his back to the broken machine and carrying the limp Oh Baek-seo on his back

Her magical power was depleted, and her physical strength was at its limit. She stumbled with each step, but because of her compulsion not to knock over the white paper, Woojin somehow managed to maintain her balance and continue walking.

I walked wherever I could see the road.

It was a single path.

As he walked, Woojin realized that the underground facility was a well-decorated space. The only place where Moon Chae-yeon fought seemed to be a dull space.

Woojin smiled inadvertently as he thought that Chaeyeon also had her own emotions.

At some point, White Paper’s breathing quieted down. Woojin noticed that she had regained her senses.

“… Are you awake?”

Woojin opened his mouth first.

The white paper’s head moved slightly.

“Woojin… ?”

It was a small voice.

Baek Seo didn’t seem to understand this situation of being piggybacked on Woo Jin’s back

Woojin’s condition was a mess. The white paper could only guess that she had reached this point after a fierce battle.

Woojin took a moment to choose his words

“I’m sorry I’m late.”

White Paper swallowed his breath.

“And, just in case, don’t even think about submitting a discharge application or anything like that. “Because they won’t repair it.”

“… “I saw it.”

“I was looking for you.”

“Huh… , I guess so.”

Baek Seo fully understood the situation in Woojin’s answer

It must have been a difficult journey. I could tell just by looking at how injured Woojin was now.

Before I knew it, it was time to walk through a place decorated like a flower garden.

The white paper closed its eyes and spokes.

“Woojin…”

“Yes.”

“You looked at me and asked me where I learned my skills… ?”

The white paper spoke quietly.

“Actually, I killed a lot of people… ?”

“…”

“It was Spartoy… Assassination was the main mission… That’s how much skill I’ve been trained on. Under orders from the headmaster, I took down a lot of criminals… That’s how I lived… ?”

The white paper decided to tell an honest story.

The fact that Woojin already mentioned the dismissal application was a way of saying that he had found out about Baek Seo’s plan to become the principal. In other words, the white paper had nothing to hide anymore.

Moreover, there was no surveillance drone of the headmaster in the underground facility.

So the white paper was able to tell honest stories about the principal.

“Anyway, I don’t know what will happen if I leave here… I was trying to deal with the principal… If you stay with me, you’ll get involved too…”

“I guess so.”

“So…”

The white paper smiled kindly.

“Now, I hope you don’t get involved with a kid like me… ” .”

After carrying out the plan to kill the headmaster, White Paper thought a lot.

In the end, he is a murderer with a lot of blood on his hands.

He is an adversary who even targeted the headmaster.

He thought that someone as dirty and dangerous as him should not be around Woojin.

“That is…” I think that’s right…”

“Were you a fool?”

“Huh… ?”

White Paper was taken aback by the carefree yet strange question.

“But it’s better than just being perfect every time. I feel more human now.”

Woojin chuckled in a voice mixed with phlegm. It was a laugh.

“Did I look like the kind of person who would care about that? “I’m being treated like a very unloyal person.”

“No, I don’t mean that…”

“Shut your mouth.”

When Woojin suddenly hardened his expression and gave a firm command, Baekseo kept his mouth shut.

Woojin was suppressing a lot of her emotions.

“I have no intention of letting you go. It may be a fuss, but can’t you do it without me?”

Woojin asked curiously.

“… Huh. “No.”

Baekseo buried his head on Woojin’s back. There was a slight cry in that voice.

It was a word filled with nothing but sincerity, without any pretense.

“But are you trying to persuade me of some kind of nonsense?” .”

Woojin caught her breath.

“… I thought you were perfect. But is a perfect person even a person? In the end, you too are bound to fall short in some way, and you are still dealing with things that are difficult to handle on your own.”

There was determination in Woojin’s eyes.

“Then I guess I can fill it in. You can fill in my shortcomings like you have done so far.”

“… Is that okay? Even if I’m with you…”

“There’s no need to ask if you’re okay. Just… , I need you.”

Woojin looked straight in front of her.

“From now on, never again abandon your duties and leave without saying anything. “I will discipline you when I return.”

“… Yes.”

White Paper’s voice trembled.

“I will… Sorry…”

After that, the white paper said nothing.

I just sobbed silently.

…

Aseong High School’s detachment found the entrance to the underground facility and came out to meet Woojin and Baekseo. As soon as relief came to Woojin, he lost all his strength and collapsed.

However, Woojin did not lose his mind and ordered to secure a new recruit, saying that there was Moon Chae-yeon detained inside the underground facility.

The detachment began to move Woojin and Baekseo, and even as Baekseo was being carried on a stretcher, he only cared about Woojin, not his physical condition which was worse than anyone else’s. Worried eyes followed Woojin the whole time.

“White paper jjing… ! I’m glad you’re safe… ! Ouch… ! Forearm muscles… !”

Ha Ye-song, covered in dust, cried and called out Baek Seo. However, she just rolled around on the floor, feeling intense muscle pain due to the penalty of her unique ability.

Baek Seo started crying as soon as she saw Yesong, but managed to control her expression.

It was then.

“… !”

The white paper looked surprised upon discovering a female student.

Unlike usual, I couldn’t manage my facial expressions. There may be a reason why her emotions fluctuate, but the biggest reason is knowing who she is.

The female student was her narrow-eyed junior, Ise-ah, with flowing black hair.

“Ise…”

Baek Seo’s eyes were cold, but when Baek Seo’s eyes met hers, Se Ah smiled slyly.

“Shh.”

Se-Ah quietly stretched out her index finger and placed it in front of her lips.

As if she was telling me not to say anything about myself.

In the meantime, whenever Baek Seo showed signs of Woo-jin and Se-ah being intertwined, she recalled her memories of being wary.

She wasn’t wary of Se-Ah as her lover. If that had been the case, the white paper would have been snarled at by other female students as well.

Although Baekseo and SeAh did not mix even a single word.

The white paper was wary of SeAH.

Se-Ah knew her her white paper’s attitude her her very well.

“Are the repairs complete?”

Se-Ah asked as she approached a member of the Dohwa faction who was repairing a vehicle damaged in the battle. She was pretending not to know anything about the white paper.

Baek Seo also turned her head and pretended not to know Se-ah.

Seeing that Dohwapa and Se-ah are here, it looks like she was collaborating with Woojin.

Baek Seo should have been grateful that she helped save him, but because of that, Baek Seo felt even more wary of Se Ah.

Even in this matter, she can become Woojin’s collaborator, because she has instilled Se-ah into him.

It was then.

“Uh? “Is this a big deal?”

Park Min-hyuk, who was nearby, was shocked by Se-ah’s sudden ominous remark of her.

“Why why? What’s going on!?”

Se-Ah scratched her cheek and laughed as if she was troubled.

“They are coming.”

“W-what!? “Isn’t that what I think?”

“That’s right. Maheon High School Leader.”

“No, already!?”

Boom!!

Slowly, the sound of the engine began to be heard.

Many vehicles were approaching this way.

“Excuse me… ! Mahyeon High School is coming!”

“You useless diligent children… ! I thought I would have time to escape… !”

Minhyuk and Yesong grumbled in anxious voices.

As expected from the detachment, the Maheon High School leadership team was approaching.

Considering the time when the battle took place and the distance from Mahyeon High School to this place, the Mahyeon High School leadership team arrived faster than expected. In the end, there was no time to quickly run away and plan how to resolve the incident.

Sigh!

As the vehicles stopped all at once, members of the Maheon High School leadership team got off in a hurry. They lined up, each holding a weapon. The leader’s armband was worn on the left arm.

A leader wearing a platoon leader badge took the lead. He glared at the Aseong High School detachment with cold eyes.

There was a heavy tension.

It was very easy to guess that things would get complicated.
