I Became the Leader of Academy City

72 – Discipline 24. The Leading Manager Follows Through to the End (9)

Like other leadership teams, the Maheon High School leadership team worked in shifts among platoons even during vacation.

The first-year leader often looked at the screen and was nervous.

The second-year leader enjoyed playing smartphone games peacefully.

Then suddenly an alarm sounded.

Wow!

“What, what!?”

The leading members were surprised.

This alarm sound is at danger level 4.

It sounded when strong magical powers collided within the jurisdiction.

The leading members all turned their heads toward the screen.

A large amount of magical power was caught on radar.

“Seo, senior!?”

“What is this crazy magical power… ? ?”

The color of the magic attribute displayed on the radar varies depending on its density. Of course, the higher the density, the better the magic attribute.

The displayed magical power concentration level is also unbelievable.

They could see that the magic power currently in conflict belonging to those who were at the top level within Academy City.

“Excuse me! Switch the camera from over there to the closest drone perspective!”

“Yes!”

The screen changed to the drone’s perspective.

Kwaaang!!

In the screen.

The heavy drinking spread throughout the city center, and the dust rising from the outskirts caught the eyes of the leaders.

The second-year leader broke into a cold sweat.

“Hey, this… It is a major incident.”

“Large… Twenty words… ?”

“Report! Quickly!”

“Oh, I understand!”

The first-year leader hurriedly picked up the communication device.

“Platoon leader, here’s a report! There seems to be a commotion going on on the outskirts. The measured magic attribute concentration in the air is about 56,000 spx (Spellix)… ! This is a high-risk step!”

Spellix was a unit used to measure the concentration of magical energy in the atmosphere.

A sighing sound came from beyond the communication equipment.

─ Wait a minute. Did you see it right? Fifty-six thousand… ?

“Yes. As of 20:49, excluding decimal points, it is 56,378 spx!”

─ Isn’t it an equipment failure?

“No! It’s working properly!”

─What nonsense… At that rate, monsters of at least 6th rank or higher are fighting each other… ! That too in our jurisdiction… !

“Uh, what should I do!?”

─ Send a drone to understand the situation first… ! No, get ready to go first! Summon all your reserves! I will report to the manager.

“Yes!”

From noble mtl dot come

Maheon High School leadership team began preparations for dispatch.

* * *

Kugugung!!

Maheon High School jurisdiction, outskirts.

An ominous earthquake has begun.

The communicator sent out a variety of single-word screams. This was because the vehicle was shaking violently.

Menacing roars came from beneath the ground without stopping. To be exact, it was the sound of something huge moving through the ground like a mole.

Eventually.

Kwaaa!!

─ Wow!!

Breaking through the ground, several huge snake heads rose up.

Each was made up of a mechanical body, and its height was comparable to that of a high-rise building.

It was so massive that all of the vehicles in the separate unit were pushed by the mechanical snake’s head and floated upward. I ended up slipping and starting to fall.

It was a fall from a height of at least a 10-story building. I felt a great sense of floating.

It was natural that all kinds of screams rang out from the communicator.

─ Manager niiiiim!! Please save me!! Argh!! My insaeaeaeaeang!!!

Park Min-hyuk’s desperate cries.

─ Giggle, giggle, giggle!!

─ Kyakyakyakyak!! It’s a free gyro drop!

The service department laughed as if even falling was fun.

At this level, it was beyond positive to the point where I began to wonder if there was a mental problem.

I was worried that Se-Ah next to me would get hurt, so I held her in my arms and held her hand on the ceiling. It took a very stable posture.

I just looked out the window of the car.

The mechanical snake that appeared was reminiscent of the hydra from mythology.

That is the combat weapon that Moon Chae-yeon created after spending a long time and mana.

Chimera.

That’s the chimera’s tail.

It was the so-called ‘six snake tails.’

‘It’s on a different level from a game…’

Although it was depicted as a very large weapon in the game, it was still not as good as seeing it in live action.

Actually, it was quite a magnificent sight.

The snakes had many TVs attached to their bodies. Each TV was broadcasting a strange and ugly expression that looked simple, like an emoticon.

In some ways, it was a visual that wouldn’t be strange even if it appeared in a horror game.

Detection equipment inside the vehicle measured that a large amount of electromagnetic waves were being emitted from countless TVs.

‘What is the center of the chimera?’

Since I was falling from a high place, it was a good time to figure it out.

Where did all the mechanical snake heads come from?

I had to figure out its location.

‘… Is it there?’

All we had to do was to assume that a line connected the protruding points of the group of snakes and find the intersection point.

Because it was simple, I was able to find it right away.

It was a place worth a long drive to reach.

‘Why did I keep failing to set coordinates? There was still quite a distance.’

The reason I attempted to set the coordinates toward the underground was to reach Chaeyeon.

I thought it would be easy since the hideout would need to be very large to store the chimera, but I failed every time. Now I know why.

There was still a distance.

‘Chimera is controlled by Moon Chae-yeon. So, if you go to where those tails stick out…’

You can reach the Chimera’s cockpit, that is, where Moon Chae-yeon is.

Hwaaa!!

From the body of one particularly dark-colored snake, a strange light flowed along the seams and let out a roar.

All of the other snakes opened their mouths wide and concentrated magical energy inside them.

Chaeyeon was the power that replaced radio waves with energy.

Feeling the magical energy touching the skin, it was easy to guess that the firepower would be superior to the magical cannonballs fired by the iron golem a moment ago.

[Kyahahahaha!!!]

A roar of laughter rang out from all the TVs on the chimera’s snake tail. The TV all showed strange smiling faces.

They were laughing at us.

“Dohwapa, please make an emergency landing!”

I shouted into the communicator.

The drivers operated a mechanical device.

Buuu!!

An air cushion was deployed under the car.

It was an emergency device added just in case, inspired by the fact that SeAH had put in an air cushion to prevent my fall.

Just like that, we felt only a moderate impact and landed safely.

The air cushion fell off, and the cars started moving their wheels again.

I was so glad I had prepared it.

“By any chance, senior… “Can I breathe?”

“Are you hurt?”

“Thanks to… I guess so?”

I dropped Se-Ah from my arms. She replied with a sly smile.

However, perhaps because he was surprised, his smile felt more awkward than usual.

“Let’s dig in like this. “Towards the center.”

I spoke to the driver and Lee Jeong-mi.

“Yes!”

The driver drove the car as it was.

‘Huh?’

For some reason, even when they saw the majesty of the chimera, they showed no signs of fear.

Even though Minhyuk’s surprised voice can be heard on the communication device right now, saying ‘Hey!!’.

‘There is a pulpit…’ ‘ .’

I expected to see the driver hesitating and yelling at me for being reckless.

I had already thought about what I would persuade him to do when that happened, and if I failed to persuade him quickly, I planned to run away alone.

However, I have to say that they are much better than I expected.

The members of the Dohwapa gang showed a strong spirit, as if they would snort and overcome any obstacle that came in their way.

‘These people… , It’s quite reassuring.’

The vehicles of the separate unit all followed us and ran in one direction.

It is obvious that the chimera’s attack range is very wide, so there would be no point in running away.

It was clear that even if we spread out, the group of snakes would lightly swat each car like a mosquito.

In the end, it was best to rely on my ability to block attacks.

For that to happen, we shouldn’t have scattered.

But.

Crackling!

─ Did you notice?

The communication device sent out Moon Chae-yeon’s voice again.

“Damn, hacking again… ! What route is it again?”

Se-ah’s escort, Lee Jeong-mi, frowned and checked the machinery.

─ This hacking is a little different. It will be difficult to push it away like just now.

I heard Chaeyeon laughing.

─ And this attack will be difficult to block with the technique from before, right? You’re really going to die now, you.

You’re being very abusive.

I remembered the chimera’s attack pattern that I saw in the game.

Of course, games and reality are different.

There was no way the boss’s attack pattern in the game matched the attack pattern in real life.

However, it was at least possible to figure out the boss’s function.

The most distant mechanical snake from us.

Unlike other mechanical snakes, it was the only one that did not store magical power in its mouth and was simply glowing.

That guy was the problem.

There is no problem if long-distance attacks such as artillery shells are visible. I just need to brush it off with my magic method.

The problem was when the attack came like a biochemical attack or a storm.

Such an attack cannot be prevented by my abilities. How can all the magic particles that meticulously attack a large area be allowed to flow through the cracks?

That mechanical snake, the only one that emits light, had such an attack pattern.

Chaeyeon intentionally made her colors her her her distinct her

─ What should we do about this, our leader?

I heard Chaeyeon’s ridicule.

Seeing him provoke so childishly, it seemed like he was clearly annoyed by the shabby iron golem being robbed.

“Okay…”

I naturally sighed at that pitiful feeling.

“Like you said, I can’t stop that.”

─What is it? Obediently admit it? Have you given up?

“But I am not your only opponent.”

─ … What?

“Take a good look at the snake over there.”

Above the head of a luminous snake.

Before we knew it, a female student was standing on top of it, her back turned to the moonlight of the night sky.

She closed her eyes and raised her head, concentrating her mind. She tied the jacket around her waist, revealing her sleeveless outfit. She is basking in the moonlight.

Light blue hair, undulating like waves, blew in the strong wind.

“It will soon become recyclable waste.”

This is Academy City, Neo Seoul.

This is the living area of new humans who have evolved from the old humans who were adapted to magical power.

The average citizen boasted a level of strength that was different from that of the old human race. It could also be expressed as upward standardization.

Naturally, students who committed atrocities out of infatuation with their own power were very easy to find.

So, according to the school rules, if you are in charge of cracking down on their disorderly morals.

It is natural to take on significant risks.

Therefore, the position in charge of cracking down on public morals had to be comprised of a strong enough person to control everyone.

This was not an exception for the leadership team of any academy.

Aseonggo formula, second in power.

Hayesong.

Byeol pen name, Eunrang (銀狼).

She opened her eyes.

Hwaaa!!

The eerie magic spreads fiercely.

The silver magical power took on a neat shape that matched Yesong’s body.

Like partial armor.

Even magical power in the form of wolf ears, tailored to Yesong’s taste her, was depicted on the head of her.

It looked like a beast with flames.

Unique ability: Lycanthrope.

Magic formula type 1, Wolrang armor.

Yesong raised her right arm. Her muscles were defined and her veins were bulging.

Before she knew it, her fingernails had become sharp and pointy.

Hwii! Her silver magic was wrapped around her sharp nails.

Yesong grinned and looked down at her snake head at her feet her her her.

Immediately after, Yesong swung her arm.

Saaagh!!

As Yesong’s claws cut through the air, the mechanical snake’s head was cut into several pieces along its path her her her her.

The scary thing about her unique ability, Lycanthrope, was her outstanding cutting ability.

In an instant, Yesong dug into the body of the mechanical snake.

Crispy! Pajik!!

The sound of steel cracking and breaking continues to echo.

Yesong’s sharp magic repeatedly cut through the mechanical snake’s hard body and escaped.

The mechanical snake twisted its body around, spitting out blood and sparks.

Soon.

Coo!

Yesong easily cut the joint between the mechanical snake and the ground and walked out calmly.

She patted her shoulder her her her her.

Kwaaang!!

The glowing mechanical snake exploded all over its body and eventually collapsed, scattering a large amount of dust.

Lycanthrope with unique abilities.

Magic formula type 2, moonlight assault.

Yeson’s unique ability boasts strong cutting power and excellent speed. However, the larger the area of the moon in the night sky, the more her abilities are maximized.

Today is the day when the full moon rises.

She guessed that with Yeson’s abilities, she would be able to take down a snake like that in one go.

So, she gave instructions in advance, taking Chaeyeon’s pattern into account. When a chimera appears, aim for the one with a slightly darker color among the mechanical snakes.

─ Wow…

Chaeyeon sighed.

Just like an iron golem, a snake tail that I had put so much effort into was cut off in an instant, so I can’t describe how I felt.

“This is my subordinate.”

I climbed onto the vehicle again.

─ Okay, okay… I need to get that sorted out.

Chaeyeon’s voice was mixed with breathing. She seemed to be controlling her emotions.

One after another, Yesong rushed towards the other mechanical snakes, but it was already too late.

─ Now try blocking this too.

Kwaaa!!!

All the energy the remaining mechanical snakes had in their mouths was fired towards the special unit vehicle.

No matter how good it was, it was impossible to kill all of the chimera’s remaining snake tails.

The mechanical snake that Yesong defeated a little while ago had lowered skin hardness to increase magic conductivity due to its structure as a means of attack.

If we kill just one or two more mechanical snakes, we’ll reach our limit. It will take time to defeat it.

In the first place, that’s not all Chimera’s power.

Well, just defeating one snake tail that I couldn’t stop was a very thankful thing for Yesong.

‘I have to take care of the rest.’

Yesong is only Asong High School’s official second-in-command.

After defeating necromancer Han Seo-jin, wasn’t I unofficially promoted to second-in-command?

Of course it was my responsibility to deal with that chimera.

The only thing left to the separate unit is support.

Damn it!!

The third type of magic formula, inverted space, was cast again.

All of the energy released by the chimeras was poured into the crack created in the air.

“… !”

It’s heavy.

The density of magical power far exceeded my expectations. It was absolutely not an attack I could handle.

It felt like the magic circuit would break. I couldn’t afford to return the attack.

In the end, the coordinates for launching the attack were set arbitrarily.

All the energy that traversed the wormhole created by my unique ability was expelled in the wrong direction.

Kwaaang!!!

When the energy released by the snake tails hit the flat ground, a large explosion occurred.

Maybe it was because I was overdoing it, but it was hard to breathe. I immediately took a breath and regained my composition.

‘If I had been hit by even one of those things, it would have been over…’

Moreover, if the coordinate settings were incorrect and the attack was released in the direction of a downtown area…

I didn’t even want to imagine it.

─ Wow… , Did you stop it? The more I look at it, the more it gets better… , You? It would be a shame to die here.

“Thank you for the compliment.”

─ Foot.

The day I first met Chaeyeon, we repeated what we said to each other.

Yesong dug into another mechanical snake and began to destroy its insides, and the separate unit’s vehicle continued to run between the tall mechanical snakes.

The mechanical snakes once again filled their mouths with energy.

From noble mtl dot come

─ But, what should I do now? Can you stop it next time? That technique seemed to consume a lot of magical power.

Next…

This is enough.

My attention was focused on the ground below.

Coordinate settings.

To the basement.

… That’s it.

“… There will be no next time.”

─ What?

Damn it!

It created a crack and entered it.

* * *

Deep beneath the ground, there was an underground facility boasting an enormous area.

A huge mechanical weapon that sent six mechanical snakes to the ground was located in the middle of it. It was a chimera.

A large number of mechanical soldiers were waiting around in case enemies invaded the hideout.

Chaeyeon was inside the Chimera’s head, riding in her cockpit, watching the screens that were transmitting the situation on the ground.

“It’s gone… ?”

Chae-yeon saw the sight of Asung High School’s leader, Ahn Woo-jin, opening a crack and disappearing.

Woojin’s ability is space movement.

The fact that he suddenly disappeared…

“All ready for battle!”

Chaeyeon immediately issued a battle order to all waiting troops.

All the mechanical soldiers recognized the voice and their eyes lit up.

Chuck! They each carried cannons, firearms, and bladed weapons, prepared themselves for battle, and raised their magical power.

“!”

Suddenly, an ominous magical power began to be felt from above.

Chaeyeon instinctively lifted her head.

At that moment, a flash of light flashed.

Kwahwaah Ah!!!!

Powerful blue-green lightning with a radius of tens of meters, made of magical energy, rained down.

Inherent ability to dominate space.

Magic formula type 2, spatial lightning strike.

A strike that fully captures the magic amplification effect of a wormhole, a privilege of space domination.

It was so powerful that even the strongest of the 6th rank could not survive.

The blue-green thunderbolt hits the chimera directly.

The lightning spread in all directions, sweeping away all the surrounding mechanical troops.
