I Became the Leader of Academy City

61 – Discipline 23. The Leader Always Prepares for Enemy Attacks (1)

I look back.

After the first semester final exams were over, I used platinum mileage to strengthen Iron Dragon once.

I heard an explanation that hardness and magic sensitivity have increased. After actually using it, I was able to feel the effect.

Pajik!!

‘Oh.’

The magic sensitivity was so high that I could even wield the lightning magic itself.

It was possible to create an electric explosion with a wall axle and even absorb and swing the explosion. Of course, the fact that I am of the 6th rank and the purity of my magical power is high also seemed to play a big role.

Anyway, this is what I learned after experimenting in the desolate outskirts the other day. It was worth traveling a long way.

Also, of course.

Since the summer vacation, I have been focusing more on training my unique abilities under Geumyang. There was enough room for that.

During the vacation, the job of the head of the department was limited to approving necessary matters or taking charge of major cases.

Currently, the leadership team was taking turns working in platoons every day.

If an emergency occurs, it will be a different story, but there has been no sign of that happening yet.

Even if it is not revealed to the public what my unique ability is, there will be information out there that I have awakened a strong unique ability.

I was wondering why no one, not even Academy City’s pervert challengers or villains, was attacking me. For now, all we can do is remain vigilant.

And now that the leadership team has been sent to camp, the big summer vacation event is essentially over.

I had to prepare for the next semester.

“Huh, oh oh…”

Training room.

Today again, I was lying on the floor, panting. This was because I was exhausted from repeating my unique abilities so many times.

“I’m getting a sense of my abilities to some extent.”

The light-haired woman, Geumyang, spoke.

“Can I raise this ability to a usable level before the vacation ends? Don’t you think you’ll run out of magic again if you’re not careful?”

In that case, it was difficult.

I somehow had to be able to handle my abilities easily before the vacation ended.

Suspicious death after Lee Se-ah’s black market domination.

The headmaster’s suicide.

The disturbance caused by the six sinners.

Because most of those incidents occur starting from the second semester.

Perhaps the disappearance of Oh Baek-seo might also have occurred during that period.

Slurp.

Geumyang swept up her school uniform skirt, pulled it close to her legs, and sat on her her abdomen her her her.

She wasn’t very heavy.

“… “What are you doing?”

“I’ve felt it for a long time.”

The mysterious golden eyes of Geumyang looked down at me.

“It seems too urgent.”

“Isn’t it good to work hard at anything?”

“You don’t feel that way. At first, I thought you had motivation or passion, but your obsession seems far from passion. “Is there something I don’t know?”

From noble mtl dot come

A golden sheep stroking its chin and staring at me.

It seemed suspicious.

“That’s just me. There’s nothing bad about it.”

No matter how much he was a geomyang, he didn’t seem to be able to see through my knowledge of the game.

Who created a game based on this world, and for what purpose.

I didn’t know why I was reborn in this world.

I can’t even figure out Geumyang, so there’s no way I could figure it out.

“Is it because of Kim Dal-bi?”

“If there’s a reason to catch him, it’s a reason.”

Geumyang still looked suspicious, but he did not continue speaking.

Should I change the topic?

“Is there any way to become stronger faster than that?”

“I’ve said this time and time again, but there’s nothing better than actual combat. Especially when your life is at stake.”

“Life?”

Geumyang looked back at me and pointed to her head.

“In those situations, the brain works at a very fast pace. All your nerves will be on edge, and your learning skills will perform dramatically. Everything, to live.”

It is said that people see magic lights just before they die.

It seemed like I had seen somewhere that the brain was moving at an incredible speed and finding a way to survive.

What Geumyang says is probably in a similar context.

“However, to maximize the effect, a sufficient amount of practice must be preceded.”

“…”

“If you want to grow quickly, you just have to die more. There is no royal road or trick. If I were to be honest, the most painful path is the path that leads to the greatest growth.”

“Okay…”

As I listened to the story, the topic of ‘talent’ suddenly came to mind.

I don’t like arguing about talent, though.

I had doubts when I remembered Goliath’s monstrous talent, who had instinctively learned magic exercises since infancy.

“Geumyang.”

“Why?”

“You said I had purer magical power than that long-haired, big guy I saw last time, right?”

“Yes?”

“Can that be interpreted as saying that I am more talented than him?”

Geumyang shook his head resolutely.

“Unfortunately, his talent is overwhelming. It only seems insignificant to me, and among all the humans alive today, there is no one as outstanding as him.”

It was an answer he had already expected, but he felt like his heart was clenched.

I can definitely say that the final destination of my assignment is Goliath.

I don’t know why that guy brought about dystopia, but in the end, he had no choice but to fight as long as he knew what he was going to do.

“Dan.”

Damn.

Geumyang stretched his index finger upward and made a small crack above it.

“As far as my power is concerned, your talent is far superior. Only you can handle spatial abilities. That’s why it takes more time to learn unique abilities.”

It was because I ‘remembered’ Goliath’s magic exercises and repeated them constantly.

Even though I am not at the level of the monster who instinctively learned the magical practice method, I have achieved many successes by imitating the monster’s methods.

“That’s a good thing. “Of all your words, this is the most comforting.”

My stamina has returned a little.

I got up from my seat.

“Are you going to stick with that guy?”

“That’s right. “I’m the head of the leadership department, and that guy is a criminal.”

“Huh… , He’s a bold guy.”

“I got my strength back a little bit. Let’s start again.”

Geumyang crossed her arms.

“Sure.”

An energetic expression appeared on his face

“Pour it at me again, ‘space lightning.'”

“That’s a great line…”

Geumyang creates a crack to receive my attack.

Even though I was going to pass my attack through more cracks anyway, my form was excellent.

Unique ability, space domination.

Magic formula type 2, spatial lightning strike.

A technique that destroyed the 5th type of necromancer Han Seo-jin’s unique ability.

The connection between lightning magic and spatial ability that I honed like a sharp blade because I could not reach the 5th rank.

The placement of that technique in Magic Style Type 2 was solely my own. It’s my unique ability anyway.

I try to create a crack in the position of my hand and the appropriate location to fire the lightning strike.

Setting coordinates was still difficult.

Still, the motivation did not fade. If you learn this skill properly, it will definitely become the best attack skill.

Scream!

Even though, in nine cases out of ten, spatial lightning strikes were fired at the wrong location.

“I’m here?”

“Know… It’s still difficult unless it’s on a large scale…”

When dealing with Han Seo-jin, the scale of the attack was so large that it somehow hit the target, and detailed adjustment was difficult.

Still, I had to learn it properly.

Most battles take place in the city center.

It was necessary to narrow the attack range in order to efficiently and effectively target the enemy and minimize surrounding damage.

…

‘What should I buy for dinner?’

Summer vacation is coming to an end.

The weather was still hot, but the temperature was slowly dropping.

Today, I decided to have dinner with Oh Baek-seo and Geumyang.

In a large shopping mall, I walked around the grocery section while pushing a cart. Then, suddenly, the pork belly in the cultured meat section caught my eye.

‘Pork belly… ‘Should I buy it with bibim noodles?’

My mouth was watering.

‘It would be really great to have a glass of soju…’

A glass of soju was an appealing combination, but I have never had soju in my mouth since I was born in this body.

In the first place, you can’t buy it unless you’re an adult.

Due to the small number of adults among the new human race, the liquor business was not thriving, if not dying.

The advent of the apocalypse, the attack by demonic beasts, and the implementation of city construction projects that emphasize ‘education’ and ‘happiness’ for the revival of humanity. This was because adults made great sacrifices due to various factors.

‘This will be a problem that will be resolved later when the adult ratio increases.’

The future will come anyway.

Originally, as long as mankind existed, alcohol could not disappear.

‘… Am I an adult too? No, I was an adult.’

The body has become younger, and the mind is greatly influenced by the body.

As I remember eating pork belly with soju in my past life, I feel like I am an adult.

At times like this, a bitter smile would flow from my face.

[It is 30,500 won.]

After paying with the AI robot cashier, I put the ingredients into my shopping bag.

Take out the adult’s card.

Sigh.

[Balance is insufficient.]

“…”

It seemed like I had bought too much food for Geumyang recently.

I came back with less pork belly and calculated again.

Should I go home now?

[Yinging.]

Suddenly, I noticed other customers letting their companion robot carry their luggage.

The companion robot made a cute crying sound.

It had a round and lovely shape. In addition to its cuteness, it seemed very convenient as it helped with daily life.

I want to buy one.

‘… Let’s just go.’

Let’s stop unnecessary spending.

Impulse buying was an attitude that should be avoided.

When you think like that and try to take your eyes off your companion robot.

[Ying, Ying… ?]

The companion robot began to squeak and make awkward movements.

I couldn’t lift the load properly, and my movements became unnatural.

‘Huh?’

Why is it like that?

Is it broken?

The woman, presumed to be the owner, checked the app connected to the pet robot on her smartphone and asked, “Why is this like this?”

“What, why are you calling… ” ?”

A man who was talking on the phone and pulling a cart suddenly looked at his smartphone and wondered.

[Sorry, sir. An error occurred in the payment system. Please wait a moment.]

AI cashiers began to be unable to calculate everything due to computer errors.

‘This… ‘?’

I took out my smartphone and turned on the screen.

All icons representing antennas had disappeared.

Poor signal.

Communication had stopped working.

It wasn’t a coincidence.

Everyone around me was confused, but I was the only one who could figure out the identity of this phenomenon.

This was a phenomenon caused by someone’s will.

“…”

As I focused my attention, I felt an unnatural act of popularity.

Someone was secretly watching me.

I went straight into the men’s restroom and entered the toilet stall.

Crash.

I locked the door.

* * *

A man entered the men’s restroom.

He looked fine on the outside, but he had blurry eyes. In his hand his his his was an ax made of machinery.

He stood in front of the only closed toilet stall and gently pushed the door.

I wasn’t pushed back.

It was a locked door.

He knocked.

Knock.

“…”

Knock.

“Over there.”

Knock.

“I need to go to the bathroom.”

Knock.

“Isn’t it inside?”

Knock.

“The door is locked? “I guess there is?”

The man’s dry interrogation was scattered in the air.

After a moment of silence, the man felt a sense of discomfort.

In the end, the man easily jumped, placed his hands on the toilet stall, and stuck his head up.

Unfocused eyes looked beyond the door.

The only thing there was a toilet.

“… Ah.”

The man’s eyes cooled down. He came down to the floor again and took out a magic tool in the form of a walkie-talkie from his arms.

When magical power was secretly activated and the magic tool communication device was activated, a light came on in the small groove.

“The target entered the toilet stall of the men’s restroom on the 5th floor and suddenly evaporated. It looks like he noticed and escaped by some means…”

At that time.

Someone shot like a flash from the bathroom entrance.

It was Ahn Woo-jin.

“!”

The startled man reflexively swung the ax, but Woojin easily dodged it and reached the wall.

Faaah! Woojin kicked the wall and kicked the man.

Kwaang!!

“Boo!”

The man’s body fell, breaking through the locked toilet door. He missed the magic tool communication device, but Woojin caught it as it floated in the air.

Immediately after, Woojin grabbed the man by the back of his head and threw him into the toilet.

A snap!

The man’s face was buried in the water in the toilet bowl. The water splashed, and for a moment, excessive bubbles rose to the surface, like boiling water.

No matter how much strength the man exerted, Woojin did not even move.

I just look down at the struggling man with harsh eyes.

“He’s a villain.”

No answer could come out of the mouth of the man submerged in water in the toilet.

‘What happened… ? ?’

The man’s mind became confused. However, I didn’t have time to organize my thoughts. He had to quickly use his magic power to respond.

But Woojin did not allow him to counterattack.

Puzzle!

A bluish-green electric power rose in his hand as he plunged the man’s head into the toilet.

The art of generating elemental magic power without any special means of manpower operation became possible upon reaching the 6th rank.

As a result, the magical power of electricity broke through the toilet water and burned the man’s head evenly.

The man’s limbs, which were struggling in pain, went limp. Woojin lifted the man’s head and threw it to the side.

Coo!

The stunned man hit the partition and fell sideways. Smoke rose above it.

Woojin indifferently took out the restraint ball and threw it at the man. Charak! The restraints were deployed and the man was tied up.

And Woojin saw the magic tool communication device the man used.

‘Is it like a walkie-talkie that runs on magic attribute? They use this because radio waves don’t work. The communication range will be short.’

The target that can communicate with this magic tool is probably on the nearby floor of this building.

Woojin activated the communication device by flowing a very small amount of magical power.

─ … Is it pretty?

A woman’s voice came from the communicator as if she had been waiting.

Woojin knew who the owner of that voice was.

Interfering with the radio waves was an effect of her unique ability.

“You… “Where are you?”

Woojin asked fiercely.
