I Became the Leader of Academy City

chapter 21



21 – Discipline 11. The leader eliminates the villain group (4)

Ten minutes ago.

Secretary Park Min-hyuk was rescued.

Now, Oh Baek-seo only had to carry out his mission.

Baek Seo used the umbrella Ahn Woo-jin gave him and quietly looked up at the sky.

Just touching the handle of the umbrella with my finger.

“… ….”

Woojin ordered the executives to follow his instructions without asking anything.

Baekseo was in charge of suppressing Anomia’s top executives and organization leaders, but he did not know how Woojin figured out their locations.

You can ask that later. For now, I was just following instructions.

It wasn’t just because of affection.

The white paper distinguished between public and private matters.

Woojin is a person worth following.

So all I can do is follow.

There was no other reason.

However, apart from that, I was worried about Woojin.

Anomia is a group of villains who are widely known for their notoriety.

We also employ dropouts with outstanding talent as executives.

It was easy to predict that Woojin would soon be fighting a dangerous enemy.

So now that Woojin and the secretary have joined, Baekseo wanted to quickly finish his mission and meet Woojin.

I feel safe having him by my side.

Ttogak ttogak.

Suddenly, a man dressed in a Barbary coat entered White Paper’s path.

He stopped his feet and glared at the white paper.

“Ah. “Are you here?”

The white paper that had him in its sights asked in a friendly tone.

It was easy to guess that that man was ‘AQ’, the top executive of Anomia that Woojin had talked about.

The magic power he poured out while being alert was comparable to that of the leader of Maheon High School.

“Leadership…. “How did you know we were here?”

AQ asked in an aggressive tone.

“We just follow the manager’s instructions.”

Although the white paper spoke in his usual friendly tone, his eyes were not smiling at all.

The lineup was bad today.

A colleague from the leadership team was dragged away and experienced something unpleasant, and Woojin was lured away. It seems that the leadership team seemed easygoing.

Even the time I spent walking with Woojin under an umbrella was cut off because of them. I was in a position where I couldn’t express my regrets anymore.

Fortunately, there was a clear direction for his anger.

“I see….”

AQ narrowed his eyes and chuckled.

I didn’t really ask how the white paper got here.

I have already heard about the leader of Aseong High School.

Woojin’s intelligence is at a level that even the expression “High level” Is not enough.

Even AQ, who only pursued fighting, had pure respect for the abilities of his enemy Woojin.

It is assumed that Woojin already knows all the important information about Anomia.

Therefore, there was no need to ask why Oh Baek-seo knew the captain’s location and was waiting here.

Because they are all Woojin’s works.

“Five hundred books. “I wanted to hang out with you once.”

AQ stretched out his arms to his sides.

Sreung! A long blade hidden in the sleeve of his clothes stuck out. The sharp blade caught the rainwater and sparkled.

“With four guys who are called unsalable geniuses in Neo Seoul… !”

AQ is a man who only pursues battle.

He called himself a demon.

He himself is the highest power of Anomia.

He was a strong player who stood out in Neo Seoul.

No matter how many times we fight, we are undefeated.

With his fighting ability, he wasn’t afraid of even five hundred warriors of the 6th rank.

I will overcome it easily.

Wheewoowoo!

AQ’s blade was wrapped with powerful wind elemental magic.

“Go for it, Five Hundredseo!” Proving that I, the evil spirit of Neo Seoul, am stronger than you… !”

After 10 seconds.

“Kwaeook…” .”

The self-proclaimed demon rolled around on the floor covered in wounds.

All he can spit out is a miserable ending.

He couldn’t even shed it properly.

Holding his sword in his hand, White Paper threw away the magic tool for binding. Crap! Several hard belts instantly protruded from the magic tool and restrained AQ.

Afterwards, White Paper moved his steps towards the high-rise building where AQ came from.

When entering the lobby, White Paper was greeted by combat drones, turrets, and Anomia’s highest level troops. They all took up a fighting stance.

But when the beautiful magical power mixed with blue and purple flows gently like the wings of a butterfly.

All the battle robots were split in half, and Anomia’s troops fell screaming.

It wasn’t even elemental magic.

It wasn’t even a unique ability.

With just the basic abilities of ‘body strengthening’ and ‘equipment strengthening’ that can be used by the 3rd rank, White Paper was able to clear the battlefield with a flash of sword strike.

“Five hundred books… !”

I reached the top floor office, a secret passage.

The leader of Anomia, who had been informed of the situation in advance, hid himself and then carried out a surprise attack. However, the white paper easily deflected the attack and subdued him with its sheath.

Puck! Pow!

“Ugh!”

It wasn’t a win at all.

“How on earth…?” ? How did you know I was here… ?”

The captain asked with a frightened face.

White Paper shrugged his shoulders.

“Our manager is quite capable. “I guess you had everything prepared?”

There is a person who flies above someone who runs.

If I don’t raise my head, I don’t even notice that he’s there.

The captain gritted his teeth, trembled, and finally gave up.

He was overly arrogant.

Hasn’t hints been revealed one after another, kindly enough, that Ahn Woo-jin, the leading manager, is at least a person who should not be messed with right now?

Wouldn’t the genius in front of us, who easily defeated AQ, bow his head to Ahn Woo-jin and go in?

I became impatient with the thought that Ahn Woo-jin knew all the plans, and the concern that the organization would eventually be destroyed by him.

He was conceited that he could beat him.

It was a defeat.

Two chances were not given.

Teook!

“Ugh!”

White Paper struck the captain with the sheath of his sword and knocked him out.

And he spoke into the earphones.

“This situation is also over. Director, … “I’ll go see it quickly.”

Her missions carried out by White Paper were her most difficult, but she found them not the least bit arduous.

After that, Oh Baek-seo left the scene to the 2nd and 3rd platoons and headed to Gray Star.

When Baek Seo met Woo Jin, he showed no particular reaction.

However, Baek Seo did not leave Woo Jin’s side while he was leading the scene until late at night.

……

A few hectic days passed while the incident was being resolved.

[Aseong High School leader, Anomia head and all executives arrested… ‘Great performance’ ]

[ A 4th-level person who single-handedly killed two 5th-level criminals… Who is he? ]

[Aseong High School’s leader, anomia was destroyed from the beginning of his term… ]

The news that Anomia was captured spread widely on the Internet news.

However.

‘How come I’m in the spotlight and not the leader…’ .’

Internet news was focusing on the ‘leader’ of Aseong High School, not the ‘leader’.

It was natural.

It was because of Lee Ji-su’s G-Tube broadcast.

In the viewer’s view, this incident was more provocative than Shindorim Sword Master’s sparring application.

‘I didn’t know it would turn out like this at first….’

Lee Ji-soo never broadcasts live in games, so it was unexpected.

He grabbed his throbbing head.

This was difficult.

‘There are many challengers in Neo Seoul who are unnecessarily targeting the strong…. At this rate, you could become the target of the six criminals….’

What should I do…? .

Sindorim Sword Master was okay. This guy was a 4th level person, so a sparring between 4th level people would amount to nothing more than a simple incident.

But this case was not good.

This is a case where the 4th rank defeated two people who were infamous among the 5th rank.

We had dealt with the disruptors called Anomia at best, but there was concern that more disruptors would spring up in droves.

The worst case scenario is when the six criminals target me.

Especially, if Goliath, the six sinners whose true intentions are unknown, comes to me even now, that day will be the end for me.

He chases power. He shouldn’t have even thought about using me as prey.

Therefore, it was better to focus on the performance of the team under the expression ‘leading team’.

This means that articles such as ‘How a 4th-tier player defeated two 5th-tier powerhouses’ or ‘How much potential does Asung High School’s leader have?’ Should be avoided as much as possible.

‘The press conference was useless….’

Because the incident became so famous, our leadership had to reveal the circumstances of the incident at a press conference.

Lee Ji-soo’s G-Tube broadcast was also like that, and it seemed to have received quite a lot of attention because it was an incident that wiped out Anomia itself. Details were kept confidential, saying the investigation was ongoing.

Of course, there were reporters who asked questions about my victory over two top 5 players, and I answered by praising Yudoha’s performance.

But all the articles posted on the Internet only emphasize my achievements. A large part of that credit was due to the G-Tube broadcast that viewers could watch directly.

I once again realize that people only hear what they want to hear.

‘Oh, please just pass by…’ .’

We hope that the eccentric challengers who challenge the strong, and the six criminals, will get through safely….

Because I’m scared….

‘… By the way, now Anomia is definitely defeated.’

Leading department executive office.

I corrected my posture and thought while reading the Anomia report.

Now Anomia will be destroyed.

There was no way the organization could be maintained properly when the head and the executives who replaced him were all captured.

No, it would be more accurate to say that they have already been destroyed.

How was it in the game?

Anomia fled after being defeated by the original protagonist and his party and his power weakened.

Then the organization collapsed for unknown reasons.

Like the Mafia Dohwa faction, the organization that Se-ah Lee belongs to.

Is there an internal division due to weakened power, or was he eaten by another group of villains when he was weakened? .

‘I’m worried now that this day has come. ‘Why did they fail in the game?’

I once again became curious about the reason.

The same goes for Lee Se-ah, who will become a big name in the black market.

Why did she die and why was the mafia wiped out?

I had put aside questions and parts that I had been curious about for a long time.

There is no way I would know now that the exact reason was not revealed in the game.

If the six criminals are not involved in the background, there is no reason for me to care.

The problem is.

‘If six criminals are involved….’

What if the collapse of Anomia and the Mafia in the game has something to do with the six criminals?

There was something that was presumed to be a link.

He is a sponsor who provided a large amount of money to Anomia.

The community estimated him to be one of the six criminals. In other words, if we dig into this case, we might be able to find clues about the six criminals.

Tracking down the six criminals was an important issue.

Rather than reacting when they cause an incident, it is much better for us to surprise them first.

‘Why am I so bad….’

Is it because game knowledge is connected?

I still didn’t know anything, and I had an ominous feeling that a big incident would be connected.

… I didn’t even want to think about that.

‘It’s not something we can judge yet.’

In any case, it was a matter to consider after identifying the sponsors.

I can only hope that this premonition is in vain.

‘That too.’

I shifted my gaze towards the table.

Minhyuk Park, a clerk, was there, working tirelessly, tapping away at his laptop keyboard.

Minhyuk was in charge of writing all the press conference announcements regarding the Anomia incident, reports sent to the police academy regarding jurisdictional issues, incident details, case files, etc., And was concentrating on his work without a break.

I remember the time when we were cleaning up the scene at Gray Star.

Minhyuk shed tears and expressed his gratitude numerous times. “Good job.” I remember saying a word, patting his shoulder without saying a word, and seeing his eyes sparkle as he passed by.

After that, things went crazy.

Minhyuk has memories of being beaten by a group of people. Because of this, I was concerned that he might have been traumatized by this incident, but he did not immediately seem like a person suffering from trauma.

However, another problem arose.

“Minhyuk jjing…” , Take it easy. Then you’ll collapse?”

Ha Yesong, who was sitting across from Minhyuk, spoke carefully. It seemed like she, too, had uttered these words after much deliberation.

Minhyuk shook his head resolutely.

“This is the only way I can repay my heavenly manager.”

“Sky…. Yeah, well, living faithfully like that is better than being stuck in the trash can like usual….”

Yesong turned his eyes towards me. It looks like he couldn’t stand Minhyuk’s praise and decided to stop the conversation.

Yesong asked me with his eyes. ‘Can I leave him like this?’

I answered by nodding my head.

I really don’t like the idea of praising me, but I think it would be better to leave it at that.

It’s a good thing that the members have a deep loyalty to me.

Yesong said, “Huh.” She let out an odd breathing sound. She left the club early.

……

In the evening, for the first time in a while, the glow of the sunset decorated the sky. This is because the rainy season is over.

I sipped green tea while reading the case report. This was unrelated to the Anomia incident.

‘Now I have to prepare for the midterm exam.’

The leadership team takes on the role of supervisor whenever there is a test or large-scale practical evaluation. This is because the number of teachers that adults can take on is extremely limited.

The supervisor’s case had already been reviewed, and the preparation process was in its final stages.

However, apart from that, I also had to study for my personal midterm exams.

I was prepared for work to be busy, but I didn’t expect it to be this much…. I was glad that I had thoroughly studied in advance during the vacation.

“Manager.”

White Paper called me from the table.

“Do you want to eat this? “I brought snacks.”

White paper speaking while holding a case.

It was a case with a picture of a cookie engraved on it.

It’s a snack.

I think it would be nice to take a moment to catch my breath.

“I guess so.”

As I sat down across from White Paper, the black tea in front of me caught my eye.

“You brought black tea?”

“I thought the manager would like to eat cookies. “I rode it with all my might.”

The white paper answered in a noble tone.

The couple managers know me very well.

When we spend time together, it feels like having a girlfriend of more than 5 years by our side.

I don’t know exactly what it felt like, but it seemed like it could be compared.

“I will eat well.”

I opened the case lid, picked up the snack, and ate it.

It was a sweet cookie with nothing special.

It’s delicious.

“Have you seen the email?”

The white paper raised the topic.

“Email? Yet.”

“I heard the manager will give you a reward for catching Anomia. ‘Platinum mileage’.”

“…… !”

Crazy.

‘Oh… !’

This is awesome.

I’ve been so wrapped up in work that I haven’t been able to pay attention.

Mileage.

This is an award given when honorable performance has been performed and the name of the academy has been raised.

If the academy makes a proposal to the Federal Board of Directors and accepts it by saying, ‘This guy deserves mileage,’ mileage is granted. Or the Federal Council directly appoints it.

Mileage levels consist of bronze, silver, gold, and platinum.

Among them, platinum is the highest grade.

It was one of the highest awards given to someone who performed a great activity that benefited the entire Academy City.

If you have platinum mileage, you can use the platinum store or forge your own weapon from a platinum level blacksmith.

“It’s okay.”

I refrained from raising the corners of my mouth and answered calmly.

‘Great.’

What would you do if you received platinum mileage?

The answer was already decided.

‘Forge weapons! Finally, I can make my own weapon… !’

I clenched my fists and internally danced with joy.

I’m so touched… !

Every man wants to have his own special weapon.

From the moment I realized that I had been reincarnated in this world, I naturally had that kind of dream.

The weapon I mainly use, the triple baton, is an ordinary supply equipment.

So, I wanted to get a new weapon in the triple rod series. This was because the three-stage baton was already in hand, and it was excellent for suppression purposes.

It can be forged by a Platinum level blacksmith… !

I felt like I wanted to moonwalk in front of the white paper and jump out the window and cheer.

“You look in a good mood?”

“… Not bad. “Because it’s platinum mileage.”

The white paper came to me with a grin.

No matter how happy I am, it cannot harm my image. Fortunately, he kept his expression and chewed the cookie.

“Manager.”

“Why?”

“I want to win an award too. “Why don’t you give me a reward for doing a good job?”

“… I?”

The white paper nodded his head.

It was an unexpected request.

A sudden award?

“I think I have every right to receive the award.”

“That’s… , I think so too. So, um….”

It’s a prize.

If there had not been a white paper in the first place, Anomia could not have been completely eradicated. It was only fitting to give something to her for her performance.

Platinum mileage divided in half… It is impossible.

If it could be passed on to someone other than the owner, the potential for abuse would be too great, so the system was designed to make gifting impossible. Similar actions were also illegal.

‘What reward should I give…’ ?’

It is an award that makes sense….

Nothing came to mind.

But that doesn’t mean I can’t give him the most expensive wall chuck among my possessions….

It was a time when I was really worried.

“Hmm?”

Suddenly, White Paper tilted her upper body towards me and took my right arm.

Just patting it… , she stroked her porcelain hair with my hand.

“?”

What are you doing… ?

Somehow, the white paper closed her eyes and enjoyed my touch.

On the way, White Paper let go of my arm. I continued stroking her soft hair as the white paper waved my arm.

Quiet came, and a strange feeling of shame came over me. Meanwhile, her mind was in confusion.

“Is it white paper?”

“Don’t think it’s difficult. “Because something like this will do.”

White paper gently opened her eyes and looked intently into my eyes.

“I didn’t expect this.”

“There are times when I want to act foolish too. I’m the manager’s subordinate, right? “I also feel better when I receive pats from my superiors.”

I’m not ashamed to say that myself… ?

“… ….”

I can’t bear to ask that question.

A blush appeared on her white face, illuminated by the glow of the sunset. She probably felt good, but felt embarrassed inside.

‘It’s so cute….’

She realized every time why White Paper was called a goddess, but this moment was the worst for her.

She is such a pretty girl.

She also had a very cute side.

Before I knew it, I began to enjoy stroking her white paper head. It felt like petting her cute puppy. I felt satisfied.

“… ….”

“… ….”

I was spending time quietly.

I realized one thing.

If you think about it rationally, isn’t this a very embarrassing situation? ?

“Shall we stop now?”

The white paper asked with a kind smile.

Although I was embarrassed, I automatically shook my head from side to side.

“Can I do more?” ?”

“?”

The white paper stared at me with his big eyes wide open.

Even though it was embarrassing, I didn’t want to just ignore it.

I am always grateful to White Paper.

If Baekseo could be satisfied with just stroking his head, he would continue to do so in the future. I can also risk heart pounding and shame.

Baekseo looked worried for a moment in response to my serious question, then smiled happily and said,

“… Good.”

The white paper leaned his upper body closer to me. I was startled when the pretty face came closer, but I continued stroking it. She enjoyed my touch like a puppy.

It was usually difficult to read White Paper’s emotions, but she seemed to be able to convey her feelings today.

If the white paper had a tail, wouldn’t she be lifted up and swaying gently now?

That thought suddenly occurred to me.

‘Cute.’

I was satisfied just by imagining it.
