I Became the Leader of Academy City

71 – Discipline 24. The Leading Manager Follows Through to the End (8)

The area under the jurisdiction of Mahyeon High School was a place where many buildings that looked like Korean houses could be seen here and there.

To be precise, it is a combination of modern and old styles, with old-fashioned culture sublimated even in modern high-rise buildings.

The vehicles of the separate unit ran at a distance from each other.

The leading executives, including myself, hid as much as possible and held our breath.

“It’s over there. A place where radio waves are particularly strange. “If you go a little further, you will be detected.”

Lee Se-ah, sitting next to me, said.

Before we knew it, the detachment had arrived at the edge and outskirts of Maheon High School’s jurisdiction.

I looked out the window of the moving vehicle. The horizon was filled with empty wilderness, and in one place, there was an abandoned building that looked like construction had stopped.

It was literally like a ruin.

Korea was unable to fully transform the land blessed with the golden sheep into a city. To be precise, development has not been completed yet.

This was undeveloped land.

It was natural that there was nothing.

However.

“… “The radio waves have become strange.”

As if we had been waiting, a change occurred when we arrived.

Communication equipment was disabled by a strange force, and radio waves were unnaturally disturbed.

Lee Se-ah looked at me and smiled as charmingly as a fox.

“I guess you would welcome us?”

“I guess so.”

This is Moon Chae-yeon’s ability.

They realized that we were here and started using their unique abilities.

In fact, it was a welcome greeting.

Kugugu!!

“Ahh!”

Suddenly, a strong earthquake occurred, shaking the vehicles of the separate unit.

It has come.

Se-Ah was about to fall hard. I grabbed Se-ah’s shoulders and held her in my arms.

At that moment, Se-Ah’s escort her, Lee Jeong-mi, glared at me sharply, but she didn’t care.

There was nothing we could do.

“Hey. “I feel reassured, senior?”

Se-Ah smiled and admired me in my arms.

“More than that. “It’s coming.”

A large amount of magical power was approaching.

We immediately turned our heads towards the epicenter of the magic.

Dust rising in large quantities from a barren field.

Something huge was sticking out of the ground.

Looking closely, it was in the shape of a bug with a round mouth. However, the body was entirely made of machinery.

It was a mechanical device.

It’s also very big.

Geeeee!

The mouth of the giant mechanical bug opened, a soft metallic sound rang out, and a bunch of mechanical soldiers poured out.

They were shaped like centaurs and had wheels instead of legs.

Weeeee!!

Wheels rotating rapidly.

The mechanical troops rush forward, emitting mechanical sounds and turning their backs to the dust.

It was a full-fledged war.

Chaeyeon’s will let down her guard against us was clearly visible.

─ Manager, oh, oh, he’s coming… !

Park Min-hyuk’s shout was heard from the communication device that he had brought with him instead of a walkie-talkie.

‘Are these soldiers who have taken the time to prepare?’

I’ve seen it in games too.

Among the six criminals, there are some whose power strengthens the more time they spend. A representative example is the technomancer and the glutton brother and sister.

Technomancer Moon Chae-yeon’s ability is what demonstrates the greatest efficiency.

He was able to take the time to construct the machine soldiers, manifest them, and then place them on standby.

Although the risk was less than that of the Glutton siblings, Chaeyeon’s ability was overwhelming when considering her military reinforcement and usefulness of her.

Chaeyeon’s magic was immediately felt in those centaur machine soldiers. She must have been a lump of scrap metal born with her unique ability.

“…”

I feel the magic.

They only had a large quantity, and their individual military force was not at a level that warranted caution.

If you compare it to a meal, it’s an aperitif.

I just couldn’t waste my time with guys like that.

He grabbed the communicator and gave instructions.

“Service Department, please.”

─ Leave it to me.

A confident answer was heard from volunteer department manager Kang Hee-yoon through the communicator.

─Giggles… ! Come on… !

─ I will show you the strike of justice that crushes evil… ! Kyaak!

An evil laugh was heard from beyond the magic tool. They were volunteer members.

At that level, it was worth leaving it to them.

No, rather, these guys were perfect for this stage.

A separate vehicle carrying the volunteer department took the lead. The rest of the vehicles followed him.

Heeyun, the volunteer manager, opened the sunroof of the car and climbed up. She was holding a large two-handed ax in her hands.

Asung High School is one of the major academies.

The head of the service department was a strong person, enough to establish himself as one of the top leaders in such a prestigious high school.

That power was about to be revealed.

Swoosh!

Gray magical power was wrapped around the axe. They were crystal-shaped particles.

Just like that, Heeyun swung her ax.

Whiuuung!!

A sharp gray energy crossed the air horizontally, cutting down numerous mechanical soldiers at high speed.

Kakagak! The mechanical soldiers fell helpless, like humans who had lost their souls.

Unique ability: Antithese.

Magic formula type 1, magical power denial.

The ability to neutralize things made of magic.

The effect only applies to things with magical power lower than half of the magical energy released by the abilityr.

It was a difficult condition.

However, there was a strong feeling that those mechanical soldiers were manufactured in pursuit of quantity rather than quality. To them, Kang Hee-yoon, the head of the service department, was like a natural enemy.

However.

─ Ugh… ! My throat is burning… !

Hee-yoon’s sigh was heard through the communicator.

Antitaje’s penalty is thirst.

It seems that because the magic formula was swung at once and on a large scale, there was an immediate and strong reaction.

While Hee-yoon was drinking water from the water bottle he had prepared, firearms were flying out of the window of the car.

Right after.

Doo doo doo doo doo!!

From noble mtl dot come

Many gun muzzles were spewing out flames.

“Kyakyakyakyak!!”

“Giggles!!”

The evil laughter of the service members spread and a barrage of magical bullets rained down.

Before the remaining machine soldiers could fight back with artillery fire, their cores were pierced by magic bullets.

The shooting skills were exquisite.

‘It’s reliable.’

As seen in the original work, Se-Ah did not try to attract useless people to her side.

So, I expected that Se-Ah’s gang would be a useful force.

I had no idea that it would exceed expectations to this extent.

Most guys would be scared in a battlefield like this.

─ Great! Phase 1 is lightly… ! Huh?

Minhyuk’s voice was cut off from the communicator.

One after another, I felt a sense of discomfort accompanied by loud noises.

It was towards an abandoned building.

As soon as I turned my head, a strange scene of abandoned buildings slowly moving unfolded.

─ Boo Boo Boo Boo, Deputy, Manager… !! Well, the building… !

I thought something was strange.

Crackling!

The holographic image surrounding the abandoned building was turned off.

Then, the color and magical blood flow that appears when Chaeyeon creates a machine with her own abilities was revealed.

The buildings were made of magical steel, not cement.

Kugugoogung!!

Keying!

Abandoned buildings were assembled here and there to form a giant mechanical golem.

Jiing! The guy raised his head and flashed red LED eye lights.

Another one of Chaeyeon’s mechanical weapons.

It was an iron golem.

─ That… !

Cheesy!

“?”

Suddenly, Minhyuk’s voice cuts off from the communicator and noise spread.

Soon, a new voice was heard.

─ Ah. Can you hear me?

It was Moon Chae-yeon’s voice.

My eyes narrowed, and everyone inside the vehicle was surprised.

This is a communication device that uses magical power that was brought along considering that radio waves would be disturbed by Chaeyeon’s abilities. Magic attribute takes over the role of radio frequency.

If a hacker decided to figure out the structure of magical power, unauthorized interference was possible.

─ Welcome. I didn’t know you would come to visit me like this?

“It seems like a grand welcome.”

─ I think it’s good. I decided not to let down my guard for you.

Coo!

As the iron golem stepped onto the ground with its heavy feet, the ground rang. One after another, the golem extended her large fists toward us.

Giiiiing!

Kagak!

Several cannons came out from his arms and were aimed at us all at once.

That weapon would fire magical shells that Chaeyeon had independently developed. Chaeyeon boasts outstanding capabilities as a technician.

─ Well, try to stop it if you can. That golem was made with a lot of effort.

“… Yes.”

If so.

“I’m in charge of that.”

─ Oh, you make it fun?

There was something I wanted to test.

Se-ah stuck her head out to me.

“Senior, are you okay? Anyway, that thing is made up of enormous magical power. “A tremendous amount of magical energy is being detected from the main gun?”

It was not easy to guess SeAh’s intentions, whether she was worried or curious about my abilities

I only had one thing to say.

“Okay. Because it’s worth a try.”

“… “Hey.”

Se-Ah quietly admired.

I opened the sunroof and jumped out of the top of the car.

By tripping on equipment loaded on top of the vehicle, the unfortunate accident of falling over due to the wind was avoided.

I stood up and glared at the iron golem.

The distance from him was quite far.

Raise magical power.

Every time I relive the battle with Moon Chae-yeon, I have to clear away the regretful memories I have here today.

─ Bye then~.

Bababababababat!!!

The cannons spewed out flames dozens of times.

A barrage of dense, large magic cannonballs crossed the air in this direction, drawing a parabola.

A brilliant magical light followed each cannonball like the tail of a shooting star.

The trajectory drawn by that large amount of magic cannonballs was bound to lead towards us. If that happens, we will be swept away by the explosion and suffer fatal injuries.

With that level of magical power, the entire area would definitely be devastated.

One, it seemed like it could be prevented.

What I have been repeating in my imagination is now realized here.

I stretched out my arms and extended my index fingers.

Purple magic flowed through my fingertips.

It was the power to control space.

Coordinate settings.

He drew his index finger sideways to create a crack.

Damn it!!

Following the movement of the finger, the empty space about 100 meters beyond split into long lines like the pupils of a reptile.

With a strange bursting sound, the gap widened, forming a mysterious crack composed of a combination of black and purple.

The radius is the extent to which it is out of sight.

The density of that magic power is not inferior to that of all magic shells.

─ Huh?

Chaeyeon’s puzzled voice came from the radio.

The barrage of artillery shells that rained down with such force penetrated all the cracks.

Drop.

It created a meaningless silence.

For a moment, silence came. The crack swallowed everything and then disappeared like a TV screen.

Swish, I lowered my index finger and set new coordinates.

That moment.

Damn it!!

Suddenly, a new crack from before appeared behind the iron golem.

Sensing danger, the iron golem quickly looked back, but its huge body was far from agile.

The sound of the magic bullet fired by the golem crossing the air echoed again.

I give it back.

Kwakagaga River!!!

Numerous magical bullets fired by the iron golem flew out of the crack and rained down on the golem.

Each shot hits the absurdly large target with great ease, causing a powerful explosion.

Heavy drinking filled the empty plain.

The fierce power of the non-stop pouring of magical energy shells and the massive explosion eventually engulfed the iron golem. It was incredible firepower.

The iron golem slowly tilted.

Kuuung!!

The iron golem fell helplessly, and a huge cloud of dust rose up and embraced it.

Inherent ability to dominate space.

Magic formula type 3, inverted space.

A technique that manipulates space to fire long-distance attacks at the enemy.

It was difficult to control, and it was obvious that it would be difficult or fail if the enemy’s attack was strong, but in the end, it was done.

It was an achievement that would have been unimaginable in the past.

“And…”

An exclamation of exclamation was heard from inside the open sunroof. Not only Se-Ah but also members of the Dohwa faction seemed surprised.

Anyway, it was clear that my abilities would be revealed to the surface from today onwards. Even if it was seen by Se-Ah, there was nothing I could do.

A small crack appeared silently next to me.

A small hand reached out from him and held my hand. It was the hand of Geumyang.

“Thank you.”

“What kind of big deal is this?”

From beyond the crack, Geumyang answered indifferently.

While passing the penalty to Geumyang for a moment, I looked quietly towards the iron golem.

When the dust settled, a neutralized iron golem was visible.

That’s it.

I held the communicator in front of my mouth.

“Is this how much effort was put into it? .”

I took a moment to close my eyes and enjoy the wind.

And then he continued.

“It’s boring.”

Chaeyeon is a technician.

If a work worthy of the expression ‘a lot of effort was put into it’ was so easily overthrown, treated as crap, and ignored, it was obvious how he would react.

─ … This b*stard.

It was an honest and brutal tone that revealed without hesitation the wounds caused by pride.

“Hmm.”

I nodded once.

It was the reaction I expected.

Soon Chaeyeon was going to show me what I wanted.

Cheesy!

At that time, noise came from the radio again. At the same time, a voice was heard from underneath the sunroof.

“Hacking was stopped.”

It was Se-Ah’s escort, Lee Jeong-mi.

Her voice somehow had a slight tremor.

─ Manager, can you hear me!?

Minhyuk’s urgent voice came from the radio one after another.

“I can hear it.”

When her gold hand disappeared, she went back under the sunroof.

Jeong-mi, who had been glaring at me earlier, glanced at me with one meaningful look in her room mirror. The driver looked completely surprised.

Se-ah looked at me with her admiring face.

“Is that your senior’s unique ability?”

“Yes.”

“You’re amazing~. She was surprised to see that she had defeated the necromancer… “You have awakened a ridiculous ability?”

“Okay, well…”

I didn’t deny it.

“We’ll talk about that later. It keeps going.”

“Yes.”

Se-Ah smiled and answered.

At that time.

─ Park Min-hyuk, once again impressed by the manager’s overwhelming ability… ! What again!? What’s wrong with not resting… ? Huh?

Minhyuk stopped fussing and seemed surprised again.

Beep!

Beep!

The detection equipment loaded on this vehicle began making ominous noises.

It was a welcome sound to me.

“This… ?”

Se-ah’s her escort her her, Jeong-mi, was embarrassed when he saw her radar her.

It was obvious why.

─ Department, manager… ! Big deal, big deal! Suddenly, a large-scale magical reaction occurred beneath the ground… !

“What is the scope?”

─ The entire area!!

Minhyuk shouted in a terrified voice.

The entire radar displayed on the detection equipment was painted in dark red. It meant that there was a strong threat in this vicinity, no, in the entire area.

“Everyone, prepare for battle properly.”

He spoke as he continued to warm up his body’s magic power while repeatedly trying to set coordinates underground.

“Chimera is coming.”

Moon Chae-yeon’s masterpiece, the mechanical weapon Chimera was on the move.
