I Became the Student Council President of the Academy City

21 – Boyhood ~Let’s tell the truth~

Exhale lightly.

Breath leaks out following the cold breath.

“This wormy bastard…!”

Looking at the man who staggers up, his head gets infinitely colder.

‘It’s been a while since I felt like this.’

Come to think of it, my acquaintances have always said that when I get angry, people seem to change.

I think I felt it even more because I tend to be calm when I get angry.

Since I possessed this place, I haven’t had anything to get angry about, so I forgot about it…….

I turned my gaze and looked at Sunhwa behind me.

“…Mister.”

A head messed with dirt.

Cheeks stained red as if someone had hit them.

Even the feet turned white as if they would get frostbite.

Looking at her holding her hands together as if praying, I felt my heart get confused.

‘Maybe I was too indifferent to Seonhwa.’

Since he was a very mature child, he must have been treated as an adult.

‘Stupid guy.’

Even though she’s not an adult at all.

She, with a pale complexion, was still looking at me, acting her composure.

Even though her arms clasped together as if in prayer were trembling and blood was clearly visible from her tightly pursed lips.

“…….”

I wonder if I’ve been watching for too long.

Her gaze met mine.

After staring at her expressionlessly for a moment, she slowly opened her mouth.

“Be careful.”

At her words, I closed my eyes and turned my head.

I couldn’t help but face her.

“You bastard! I’ll tear you to pieces!”

A bandit with an ax just in time rushes in a frenzy.

I immediately moved my body and adjusted the distance so that Seonhwa did not enter his range.

“Something like a rat!”

The trajectory of the exaggerated ax was clearly visible.

“You won’t kill nicely.”

Facing him with a roar, I raised my aura.

.

.

.

As the leader of the bandits, he was a man with superior skills than expected.

Lee Rip (30 years old) succeeded in casting an aura, and he was an unparalleled aura user even within the bandits.

Having reached maturity, he was confident that if he put his mind to it, he would be able to crush even the assailants who had invaded his hideout.

He said he ran away because he didn’t see the merits of venturing against the intruders.

Sincerely thinking that, he had strong confidence in his own strength.

But is it because of that?

Oddly strong, he made the mistake of not grasping how strong the boy in front of him was.

“Hey!”

Not visible.

The hand that hit the shoulder.

A foot aimed at the abdomen.

Even Aura aimed at the legs.

The trajectory of the attack is not visible.

I just allowed the attack before I knew it, and a strong shock came to my body.

He hasn’t caught a single attack since the fight started.

The ax he had ambitiously lifted had already been shattered and was lying on the floor.

The body that had allowed numerous attacks was already chopped into pieces, causing excruciating pain.

When the situation reached this point, the boss sensed the gap with the boy in front of him and munched his mouth.

“I-I’m sorry…Keep it!”

Maybe it was because of the recent blow that knocked out his teeth.

The boss, who said that in a slurred tone, immediately felt extreme fear from the strong pressure felt in his neck.

As his severely sleepy neck slowly rose into the air and even his feet, which had been stepping on the ground all the way, moved away from the ground, the boss began to struggle with a pale complexion.

“Keep…Buck! Kkeok…!”

Reaching in front of the boy at a slow pace, he was about to burst into half a bubble.

Tok─

“Ahhhhh…! Coughhh! Huhhhhh! Huhhh!”

The boss suddenly lost his grip and fell to the ground.

A cold voice came towards him as he hurriedly gasped for breath and hung himself.

“It’s very unfortunate, but I’m not the one who kills you.”

“Keuheu… Buy, save…”

“But don’t worry. For ‘that’ emperor, you won’t have a comfortable death.”

After that, an ultramarine aura rises from the boy’s body──

The boss’s memory was cut off there.

───

I looked up at the bandit who passed out after foaming at me, then approached Seonhwa.

“Bocchan? How the hell is that…?”

To her eyes, it must have looked like the bandit had suddenly fainted.

“It’s an application of an aura. I hit it with flame in it.”

If I had to put it into perspective, wouldn’t it be ambition?

Actually, it’s a little different, but anyway, attacking the opponent with intangible power is the same.

“That’s great.”

“It’s a skill my father taught me.”

My father, who taught me, didn’t use it well, saying it was a catch technique.

“Boss, there are thieves in the cave over there.”

“Oh, it’s okay. Other people are in charge of that.”

They are kidnappers who committed premeditated crimes.

I borrowed the help of the talented people in the banquet hall because going to such a place alone would be nothing short of crazy.

“What about other people?”

“The Sword Emperor is helping.”

My father and other 10 emperors are raiding hideouts around Heo Island under the order of the emperor, and I and I raided this place, which seems to be the headquarters of the Geomje.

Of course, I went around so many hideouts until I found this place, so it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that I was robbing almost all of them.

“How the heck did you get this place…”

“Well, I’ll tell you about that later.”

To be honest, I can’t say.

Because just knowing the existence of ‘it’ will bring the Emperor’s attention.

Forcing myself to participate in this incident was only possible by attacking the emperor, so it was my honest feeling that I wanted to avoid getting involved with him any more.

‘I think it’s already too late…….’

As expected, I might have gone too far by talking about ‘that’.

As she was making a melancholy expression with a sense of skepticism that immediately came to her, she suddenly noticed that her feet were a mess.

“Seonhwa, your feet…”

“Oh, that’s fine.”

She watched for a moment at her feet, which were turning blue beyond the white, then immediately bent over and showed her back.

“…Mister?”

“I’m on my back. You won’t be able to walk properly like that.”

“I can’t cause such a nuisance…”

“What is a kid’s lungs?”

As I forcefully urged her halfway through her, her line drawing of her cautiously carried her back to me.

A low voice came from the face against his back.

“…As a baby too.”

{Brother.}

At that time, Chaehyun, who was in the shadows, sent a telegram.

She didn’t answer, just looked at her shadow, and she immediately followed up with her words.

{As you commanded, we’ve got some outstanding legislators waiting.}

{The hideout was organized by the sword emperor, and those who were protected there are also treated by the councilors.}

{We will also retrieve the boss you dealt with.}

With her small nod, I instead stopped her from trying to pick up her line art and slowly went down her mountain.

“Isn’t it cold?”

“…It’s okay. It’s warm.”

Maybe it’s because she gave her aura as well.

I could see the snow melting on her body quickly.

This should be a first aid measure to some degree.

How far did it go down like that?

“Thank you.”

Suddenly, Sunhwa opened her mouth.

“When I was dragged away by the leader of the thieves, I honestly thought it was the end. Neither the leader nor the other thieves alike would save me. I’m not worth it, so I’ll never come…”

I listened to her voice with my mouth shut as I felt weak in her voice.

“It’s the first time I’ve seen it after losing my mind.”

“I’m really scared…!”

“I-I thought I couldn’t go home forever…!”

The faint sound of crying grew louder and louder, and eventually she began to cry incessantly.

“Seonhwa…”

I felt a deep sense of guilt at the various emotions I felt from the sound of crying and lowered my head.

“I hate everything! Mom! I miss you…!”

Now, Sunhwa completely takes off her mask and starts crying like a child.

“Mom! Dad! Where are you? I hate here!”

How long was it?

After enough time has passed that my back is getting wet.

I forced my mouth open.

“Seonhwa.”

“No! No! I want to go home!”

“Seonhwa.”

“Mom! I miss you!”

“Window painting.”

As I called her several times, I felt her cries getting louder little by little.

“Listen carefully. I’m only going to say it once.”

I have nothing to say about her sanity, but this time I had to face her with her sincerity.

I told her, reassuring her resolve.

“You are mine.”

“…….”

“Only me, Yeon Je-seong, not the Yeon family.”

“…That’s it.”

“So even if the family gives up on you, I will save you unconditionally.”

“…Ah.”

“Do you have value or not? It doesn’t matter. You are the most precious person to me. You are like family to me.”

At the same time, Seonhwa’s body trembled.

“Ha, but I…”

“Rather, you should be concerned. I never give up on someone I have a crush on.”

“…!”

“I will try to pay attention to you as much as I have neglected others until now.”

“Huh!”

“You trust me too. I will protect you.”

Seonhwa, who was swaying behind her back, spat out a weak voice at my words.

“Am I, too, am I valuable to someone?”

Weak fear and anxiety could be seen in Seonhwa asking desperately.

As if you were afraid to ask such a question.

As if you are anxious that an answer that is difficult to accept will come back.

Like that, Seonhwa trembled and closed her eyes tightly while waiting for her answer.

“Stupidly.”

“Broken…?”

I stopped my downward steps and set down the line drawing.

When I saw her line drawing messed up with her tears and her runny nose, I naturally held her in my arms.

“Of course. If you have no value, then who is? You are the most precious person to me.”

“……Ah.”

I continued to speak to Seonhwa, who was stuttering and silent.

“Seonhwa, do you know why I put my neck on training?”

“……No.”

In her arms, Seon-hwa, who is silent, brings out her sincerity that she has kept in her heart.

“I’m greedy.”

“A greedy…?”

“Yes. I needed the strength to protect my father, my mother, my cute little brother, and the people around me as well as my family.”

“That… Isn’t it enough to be the head of the family?”

She said this with her eyes.

As long as you have the position of the owner of the kite, wouldn’t you be able to protect everyone around you?

Do you really have to endure all the pain and practice?

That’s not wrong.

If I hadn’t known that this was a game world, I might have been complacent and satisfied with my illusory position.

So I told Seonhwa, who was waiting for an answer with tears in her eyes.

“Not enough.”

Above all, with confidence.

“It’s sorely lacking.”

“Why…”

She doesn’t know.

That demons can cross the continent at any time.

Among them, there may even be the Demon King, as well as the Four Heavenly Kings, who cannot be stopped by the 10 emperors.

In order to stop such monsters, only the head of the Yeon family is not enough.

‘What is needed is force.’

That too is an overwhelming force that everyone will be in awe of.

That’s why I say it.

The long-term goal set for reaching the target.

“I will become the Seven Great Powers.”

“──!!”

Did I understand the meaning of those words?

Seonhwa takes a deep breath and opens her eyes wide in surprise.

“It’s impossible! No matter how young you are, the Seven Great Powers can’t…!”

“No, you can.”

It has to be at least that level to be able to rub against the demons along with the main character.

‘Even with that, you have to be at least at the level of the top powers to be able to fight the demon king.’

It’s a really far story at the moment.

Still.

No, rather, that’s why.

“I will definitely get there.”

Say it with confidence.

With stronger conviction than anyone else.

So that no one can deny my goal.

Seonhwa, who couldn’t say anything in my mood, struggled to open her mouth soon.

“Really. You really mean it.”

It seems ridiculous.

But it seems like he is proud.

On the other hand, it seems that he longs for it.

Seonhwa, who had a colorful expression with all kinds of emotions revealed on her face, immediately chanted briefly.

“If that’s the case, it’s even more like me…”

“Line drawing.”

“…….”

“Window painting.”

“……Yes.”

“I’m saying I like you.”

“──!!”

“I am aiming to become the Seven Great Powers.”

“Ah, uh…”

“I, the only person who will be by Yeon Je-seong’s side is you.”

As soon as she said that with sincerity, Seonhwa’s face suddenly turned red.

“So don’t worry too much.”

“…….”

“No matter what happens, I will protect you unconditionally.”

Looking down at Seonhwa, who bowed her head in silence, she tried to calm her burning cheeks.

It’s always difficult to tell the truth.

But what can I say for a Friend Who will be with me for the rest of my life?

Her Please, I hope that her unfeigned sincerity reaches her properly.
