I Became the Leader of Academy City

76 – Discipline 24. The Leading Manager Follows Through to the End (13)

“Aseong High School leader…”

It was impossible for a leading academy at a major academy to not recognize an executive at another major academy. Especially if it is between Mahyeon High School and Ahseong High School.

That’s why the platoon leader of Mahyeon High School’s leadership team immediately recognized Ahn Woo-jin, Oh Baek-seo, Ha Yesong, and Park Min-hyuk.

Looking around, I could see the circumstances of a fierce, large-scale battle. It was clear that the leaders of Asong High School, along with several collaborators, had caused a major accident in the jurisdiction of Mahyeon High School.

It was already time for Woojin and Baek Seo to be loaded into the vehicle. Woojin barely raised his head and watched the situation.

‘I was planning to leave right away after securing Moon Chae-yeon. It came much earlier than expected…’

Since Woo-jin, Baek-seo, and Yesong were in a bad state, the service department left to secure Moon Chae-yeon instead.

At first, Minhyuk tried to accompany him, but Woojin only sent the service department.

Because I had to leave as quickly as possible.

Sending Minhyuk instead of combat personnel could have caused the mission to be delayed, and since the mission itself was only about transporting Moon Chae-yeon, that was Woojin’s decision.

In the end, the only people who welcomed the Mahyeon High School leadership team were the executives of the Asong High School leadership team and the members of the Dohwa faction.

If the volunteer department brought out Moon Chae-yeon, there was a high possibility that she would be transferred to Mahyeon High School.

‘What should I do?’

Woojin frowned.

Moon Chae-yeon was a very valuable person.

Because I can dig up information about the headmaster.

It had to be secured.

Plop, plod. The platoon leader of Mahyeon High School stepped in front of the separate unit.

“Go, Park Minhyuk! “I decided on you!”

“Uh? Uh? Me!?”

Following Yesong’s shout, Minhyuk, who was the most sane among the executives at Aseong High School, stood face to face with the platoon leader.

As mentioned above, Minhyuk was not good at fighting, so he looked particularly nervous in front of the platoon leader. Even the difference in his physique was significant.

“There was a large-scale battle. “That too under our jurisdiction.”

The platoon leader spoke informally.

“This… There are unavoidable circumstances…”

Minhyuk stuttered his words, winking at those around him. It was a look in their eyes his seeking help.

However, no one could explain the specific circumstances.

It was clearly an illegal act to capture the villain by invading the jurisdiction of Mahyeon High School without reporting anything to Mahyeon High School, the academy in charge.

“It’s an unavoidable situation… We’ll hear about that during the next investigation. Asung High School leadership team executives and other collaborators. You are judged to be red-light criminals on charges of violating the jurisdiction of Maheon High School and engaging in unauthorized fighting, and are being arrested urgently.”

The Aseong High School detachment showed caution.

Aseong High School and Mahyeon High School do not get along well.

The current platoon leader’s attitude also seemed to blatantly dislike Ahseong High School.

The platoon leader’s expression and tone of voice were so blunt that everyone here could guess that fact.

Clap, clap. Members of the Mahyeon High School leadership team began handcuffing both hands of the Aseong High School detachment.

‘No. If we do this, we can’t take Moon Chae-yeon… !’

When his concerns became reality, Woojin bit his lower lip.

If Aseong High School’s special unit is arrested, Moon Chae-yeon’s new recruit will be transferred to Mahyeon High School for investigation of this case. If anything happened while Chae-yeon was out of Aseong Go Seon Dobu’s hands, Aseong Go Seon Dobu’s eyes would be opened and his nose would be cut.

So, the detachment had to run away as quickly as possible before the Maheon High School leaders arrived.

If that were the case, even if there was a dispute over jurisdiction in the future, Moon Chae-yeon would have been able to secure a new recruit at Asung High School right away. It would have been possible to secure time to plan a strategy.

“…”

Meanwhile.

Lee Se-ah’s escort, Lee Jeong-mi, narrowed her eyes in dissatisfaction as handcuffs were placed on the injured students’ wrists.

Soon, Se-ah approached Jeong-mi and whispered.

“It seems like Senior Woojin wants to secure new recruits for the Technomancer? Actually, I want to do that too. I think everything will work out if we just get out of this situation…”

“… Okay, Se-ah. “I will try.”

Jeong-mi replied to Se-ah, who smiled slyly, and she walked up to the platoon leader.

“You have the right to remain silent and the right to hire a lawyer…”

“This is the Audit Department of the Hanyang Federal Academy Student Council. “Stop arresting me right now.”

“What?”

When Jeong-mi took out the student council student ID card and showed it, everyone looked surprised.

Under the Federal Council.

In name and reality, the best academy in Academy City Neo Seoul.

Hanyang Federal Academy.

Among them, the student council located at the top of all academies was the student council.

Everyone was bound to be surprised as such a super elite appeared out of nowhere.

“Ha, Hanyang… !?”

Yesong and Minhyuk gaped at Jeongmi’s unexpected identity.

The platoon leader also looked surprised. First, I quickly took stock of my facial expression, looked at Jeong-mi’s student ID card, and checked her identity.

“Your identity has been confirmed.”

Since the other person was a member of the leader student council, the platoon treated him with respect.

‘Was it the student council… ? .’

Woojin looked at Jeongmi as if observing her.

Later, one person from the student council disappears.

The person in question seemed to be Lee Jeong-mi, a member of the Dohwa faction. It was a time when the organization Dohwapa collapsed and Se-Ah met a mysterious death.

‘It’s reassuring to be grateful, but… , I don’t know if that guy from Mahyeongo will easily back down.’

There was nothing good outside of the eyes of the Hanyang Student Council.

Especially if it is the audit department.

For example, the moment a retaliatory audit is conducted on an academy that is disliked by the audit department, that academy will fall into disrepair. In fact, it was bound to be an object of fear.

Even the student council president of Asung High School was at a low level in front of the Hanyang student council. But… , This is just a behavior based on profit and loss.

“I will ask later why Hanyang’s student council is here. If you want to resist restraint, give a good reason.”

The platoon leader was stubborn.

‘It’s exemplary.’

Woojin thought that this was indeed the correct attitude of the leader.

It was a basic skill that the leadership should have to uphold the principles and laws without being influenced by the status or position of the other party.

‘I won’t leave easily.’

Woojin sighed softly.

“Looking at your badge, you are the platoon leader of Maheon High School’s leadership team. First, we need to move the injured person first, right? “Isn’t structure a priority?”

Jeongmi glared at her platoon leader and spoke aggressively.

There was a clear sense of malice toward Aseong High School from the platoon leader. Jeongmi guessed that this was because Woojin had a history of fighting with Asung High School over jurisdictional issues before he was appointed as the head of the leadership department.

So Jeong-mi deliberately showed her displeasure on her face.

Her strategy was to forcefully suppress her opponents by revealing her affiliation with the Student Council’s Audit Department. Even though she was petty, she couldn’t help herself in this situation.

“Besides, we don’t have to run away or worry about destroying evidence. The vehicle used as a means of transportation was damaged due to the fight, and we plan to actively cooperate with all investigations. Also, we caught the Six Criminals, one of Neo Seoul’s biggest troublemakers and a vicious criminal. Illegal acts intended to contribute to protecting the public interest are considered illegal. Since no casualties were caused to the citizens here, the illegality is not excessive compared to the public interest we are protecting. I don’t think detention is an appropriate action. Since the fighting has already ended, isn’t it just an excuse to call him an actual criminal?”

It wasn’t wrong, but it was all a way to obscure the essence.

In this situation, the person who has the authority to arrest is the leader of Mahyeon High School and the platoon leader right in front of us.

Since the situation was favorable to Ma Hyeon-go, the moment Jeong-mi caught even a hint of fear in the platoon leader, she planned to dig into it.

“That’s right! We caught the Sixth Sinner! I can’t thank you enough, ugh… ! My muscles cry… !”

Yesong agreed, but rolled around on the floor as the muscle pain became intense.

Jeong-mi glanced at Yesong, who was talking without thinking, with pitiful eyes, and then continued her conversation as if nothing had happened.

“Even if there are other issues that need to be discussed, the arrest itself is not justified. If they arrest us, we will file a formal complaint. So, let’s start by resolving the situation. “We will actively cooperate with the investigation, so don’t worry about that.”

Se-ah said that if she could just get out of this situation, she could somehow secure Moon Chae-yeon.

Chaeyeon immediately guessed what method he was going to use.

If an arrest was not made, he would have been able to go to Mahyeon High School to cooperate with the investigation and use the remaining gang members to steal away Moon Chae-yeon.

It will be a problem later, but Se-Ah will be able to escape like a snake, and there will be enough time to extract important information.

But.

“Then prove it.”

The platoon leader’s monotonous answer came back.

“… “What?”

Jeongmi’s eyes narrowed. She crossed her arms and tilted her head to the side, with a look of incomprehension on her face.

“The onus is on you to prove whether there is a risk of us escaping or destroying evidence, Mahyeon High School Leading Department. Are you sure you didn’t understand that properly?”

“No, that’s not it. Please don’t pretend not to know.”

The platoon leader shook her head once and looked at her with murderous eyes.

“You violated the jurisdiction of Maheon High School without any report and disrupted order. Your performance in catching the six criminals is admirable, but even though there was no urgent crisis, you did this in defiance of the law and procedures, and are still trespassing into the jurisdiction of Maheon High School. So, I ask you to prove that your actions are not illegal.”

“We serve the public interest… !”

“Your ‘catching the six sinners’ isn’t over yet, is it?”

The platoon leader fixed his gaze on Jeong-mi and pointed to the entrance to the underground facility. Jeongmi’s gaze turned towards that.

At that moment, the head of the volunteer department was coming out with the volunteer members, carrying the arrested Chae-yeon Moon on his back. Chaeyeon was still unconscious.

“Giggles… ! She’s excited to see this evil woman get her just punishment… !”

“Kyaak… ” ! Justice is realized… ! Hmm? There’s something strange about the atmosphere… ?”

The service department was embarrassed when they saw the scene.

Jeongmi let out her sigh.

“Why don’t you go to the trial academy and talk about contributing to the public interest? Since Aseong High School’s leadership team was involved in this incident, securing new recruits for the six criminals is also part of the process to achieve your goal. In other words, we intervened while your illegal activities were still in progress. “Aren’t we in a situation where we haven’t yet come up with a result to discuss public interest?”

“…”

“Furthermore, there is still a possibility that your goal is not ‘arresting a criminal for the public interest’ but simply ‘securing a technomancer.’ Will be established at the moment.”

Jeongmi clicked her tongue.

‘I noticed.’

The platoon leader seemed to realize that Woojin and Se-Ah’s goal was to secure Moon Chae-yeon.

‘It’s worth it. Asong High School’s leadership team included only executives and acted secretly with other collaborators. You can’t tell that we proceeded with this matter carefully.’

Even the biggest reason why Aseong High School’s special unit moved secretly was to save Oh Baek-seo.

How did the special unit find out the location of the hideout and carry out the rescue operation of Five Hundred Seo?

At the root of it all was a goblin sent by Kim Dal-bi, the six sinners.

This is a reason that would seem absurd to anyone, and could not be used as a basis for protest even on official occasions.

In other words, it was a disadvantageous situation for Asung High School.

‘Even threatening a b*stard like this won’t work.’

If a person as high as the student council’s audit department had done something like this, it was a threat that would have been fully understood.

The problem was that the platoon commander at Maheon High School was as solid as a rock. Enough to make you feel like you are paying homage to an iron demon.

Even if you threaten a man like this with hints of revenge, he won’t listen.

It was the type that Jeongmi hated the most.

‘I just need to get out of this situation now… ‘ !’

If you can beat Mahyeon High School in front of you, you can achieve your goal.

Jeongmi was restless, but she didn’t show it. However, just because she was speechless, the platoon commander was confident of victory.

“If you have nothing more to say, we will take care of you and the Technomancer recruits. The arrest will proceed as is.”

The platoon leader gestured to his subordinates, and the arrest continued.

Mahyeon High School leadership team members took Moon Chae-yeon away from the service director.

“And Aseong High School’s leader.”

The platoon leader spoke to Woojin, who was lying down beyond the open rear door of the vehicle.

“You will have to take responsibility for this. We will recommend disciplinary action to the Aseong High School Student Council and Hanyang Federal Academy. “You should feel ashamed as the head of a leading department because you abused your authority and committed illegal acts to this extent.”

“…”

“I’ll be glad if it ends with my dismissal.”

The abuse of authority committed by Woojin in this incident was at a serious level.

Operates leading personnel, including grenadier units, in other jurisdictions.

Leading activities in other jurisdictions.

Rather than reporting to Mahyeon High School, the academy under jurisdiction here, a large-scale operation was carried out without even reporting to the Aseong High School student council.

Since such a big accident occurred, there is a high possibility that he will be labeled as a ‘leading manager with a poor law-abiding spirit’ and will be removed from his position as leading manager.

However, Woojin showed no special reaction.

Because it was something I had already prepared for.

“… Tsk. “Pretending to be carefree.”

The platoon leader grumbled quietly.

I wanted to see the annoying Aseong High School and the despondent expression of Woojin, the leader, but my expectations were dashed.

“Hmm?”

It was then.

Boo!

Another Maheon High School leadership vehicle arrived at the scene, kicking up dust. The leaders of Maheon High School were surprised and stopped what they were doing to salute the vehicle.

A brown-haired male student and a female student got out of the vehicle together. The man wore the leader’s armband on his left arm, and the woman wore the deputy leader’s armband on his left arm.

Leading manager of Mahyeon High School, Lee Je-ho.

The vice-chief was Shin Ga-yeon.

“Are you here, manager?”

The platoon commander greeted the title with a high military spirit.

Jeho adjusted his glasses and looked around. The Aseong High School detachment that was being restrained, and the seriously injured Woojin and Baekseo came into view.

“Whoa.”

Jeho lowered his head and sighed.

Poop!

“Boo!”

I kicked the platoon leader in the shin.

The platoon leader let out a loud scream and bent down on one knee. He had a face that was barely able to bear a great deal of pain.

“What were you doing until I came?”

Jeho looked down at the platoon leader with a cold face.

“Yes, yes… ?”

“Have you forgotten the leadership’s priority rules?”

“No, that’s… !”

“I order this from the leadership department. Release the restraints and transport the most seriously injured to the hospital as quickly as possible! Healers provide first aid!”

The leading members shouted “Yes!” And removed all the handcuffs.

The platoon leader had a bewildered look on his face. Then Jeho said.

“The top priority for the leadership is casualties. Also, they caught the Six Sinners, the scourge of Neo Seoul. There was no significant damage to the city center. The condition of the injured is serious. At that level, there would be no risk of escape. It would be too contradictory for those who caught the six criminals to go to great lengths to destroy the evidence to catch the villain. However… “Is it really a reasonable decision to give priority to arrest, platoon commander?”

“But they…” ” ” .”

“I’ll guess. Weren’t there any personal feelings involved?”

“…”

The rationale given by the platoon leader was not wrong.

It was legal.

Various judgments can be derived from that, and that judgment was the responsibility of the platoon commander until a little while ago.

However, the leadership has a top-down relationship.

No matter what judgment the platoon leader made, he could not go wrong with the order of the leader, which had a legal and reasonable basis.

The platoon leader’s voice creeped in.

From noble mtl dot come

“… “No.”

“Don’t let your emotions affect your judgment.”

“Yes… !”

Jeho clicked his tongue and took his steps.

* * *

“…”

“…”

I was heading to the hospital in an emergency convoy.

A recovery practitioner affiliated with Mahyeon High School provided first aid, and he did not lose consciousness.

Also, since the leaders of Maheon High School are guarding you, nothing dangerous will happen. Thanks to you, I felt at ease.

However, there was one inconvenient thing.

“It’s a late question, though.”

I looked at the guy sitting next to me.

“Why are you here?”

Lee Je-ho, leader of Mahyeon High School.

He was riding next to me for some reason.

Jeho sent the recovery practitioner who finished first aid to the passenger seat, so the two of them remained alone.

“Send your vice-president to Baek Seo… “I don’t know why you care so much.”

You must be anxious.

“Hmm, no need to be thankful.”

Jeho lifted his glasses in an atmosphere.

“I just decided that was right…”

“No, it’s because I feel bad.”

“Hmm, I can’t really say thank you… , What?”

Jeho was embarrassed and showed cross veins on his forehead. His hand was shaking as he lifted his glasses.

“Aseong High School Leader, as expected, you are a brat who doesn’t know what gratitude is… !”

“Why did you help me?”

“?”

“We shouldn’t be like this.”

Even during the first semester exchange meeting, didn’t we arm wrestle with this guy while growling at each other?

Even when we met at the campsite, I definitely never had good memories with this guy. We were busy glaring at each other.

So it was questionable.

Why did he scold his subordinate who was aggressive towards Aseong High School and then help us?

“…”

Jeho looked out his window. The vehicle following was carrying five hundred books.

“It didn’t seem like anything else.”

“Huh?”

What do you mean from the beginning?

“I can see that pathetic state of yours. Something happened to your husband, and didn’t you do your best to save him? “The reason they moved secretly was to prepare for our interference.”

“Okay… “It would be no use hiding it.”

“If Ga-yeon had suffered something in your jurisdiction, I would have been no different from you. “Your eyes must have rolled back.”

Thinking about it…

In a way, we were the only ones who shared each other’s secrets.

It was so funny that it seemed to form a consensus.

‘Wow, that’s creepy…’

Jeho put on his glasses again.

“As a result, you also captured the Technomancer. That is an undeniable public interest. “I don’t know what kind of punishment will be handed down to you for this matter, but at least we won’t run into jurisdictional issues.”

“After all, isn’t trespassing into another academy’s jurisdiction a crime against doctors?”

I knew it was stipulated that way to maintain order in Academy City.

So, no matter what Mahyeongo’s intentions were, he would be punished.

“At least there won’t be a trial over that issue.”

“That must be big.”

The main reason why the jurisdictional issue was sensitive was because a trial was taking place.

The litigants in the trials are the academies. They are in trouble. So, the relationship between Asung High School and Mahyeon High School has been bad because they fought several times over jurisdictional issues.

If there was no trial, there was a possibility that the level of disciplinary action would be lowered. Because I can be buried at Asung High School.

If I point out that my achievements are unprecedented, I might be able to compare them somehow.

“Thank you for that… But that’s it.”

I looked into Jeho’s eyes.

“I guess that’s not the only reason?”

There was no way this guy would have decided that he should help me just because he sympathized.

The Lee Je-ho in the original that I know likes to show off his knowledge, and unlike the student council president of Ma-hyeon High School, whose head is a flower, he had a tendency to thoroughly weigh the pros and cons of understanding.

That doesn’t mean he’s unscrupulous or selfish, but he probably wants something from me anyway.

Jeho paused for a moment and crossed his arms. Soon, he looked down at me with serious eyes.

“Who was targeting you?”

Indeed.

From the beginning, Jeho was trying to see through the essence of this incident rather than the situation presented in front of him.

“I can’t say that. “There are circumstances I can’t talk about.”

“Is there really something? No matter how many six criminals there are, no matter how much I think about it, it doesn’t make sense for one villain to target the vice president of Aseong High School’s leader club, and that is Oh Baek-seo.”

‘It would be natural to think that way.’

The idea that a criminal would target the vice president of a leading academy at a major academy was very irrational.

Oh Baek-seo, who was also called an unrivaled genius?

It was obvious that no matter how powerful the six sinners were, if they targeted the Five Hundred Books, the noise would grow.

It would have been difficult to understand this situation if at least someone much stronger than the Five Hundreds, like Goliath, had not been involved.

However, there was only one opponent, Technomancer Moon Chae-yeon.

In other words.

Jeho seemed to have guessed that the person responsible for this incident was not just the Technomancer, but that someone stronger was involved.

‘If you thought that way, you might think it’s not safe even if you’re a leading executive at a major academy.’

I can’t help but think that the same thing that happened to Baek Seo could happen to Shin Ga-yeon, the vice president of Mahyeon High School’s leading department.

‘Wasn’t it simple empathy that made me feel like I wasn’t like anyone else?’

Only then did I understand what Jeho had said.

He was thinking of an ominous family.

“Who are you fighting with?”

Jeho asked sharply.

Revealing secrets is dangerous. However, there seemed to be no reason to hide it from this guy.

I pointed upward.

“Foot.”

Jeho chuckled and closed his eyes.

“Right… “You were having fun all to yourself.”

“If this looks fun, I recommend changing your glasses first.”

“Although this incident was illegal, it will be recognized as your leadership legitimate activity. There is a provision that, after the fact, we can recognize the legitimacy of another academy’s infringement on our academy’s jurisdiction as long as there are special circumstances. Of course, that authority belongs to me, the leader. In that case, Technomancer recruits will legally belong to Asung High School.”

“… “What is the price?”

Just looking at it, it was a give and take.

Jeho lifted his glasses again and spoke.

“Have me help you catch that damn boss someday.” That is my condition.”

“…”

My eyes widened slightly at the unexpected answer.

Lee Je-ho.

Byeolho, Amunjang.

This guy was also a useful force worthy of being given a star rating.

There was no reason to refuse if they would cooperate.

However.

“Why do you want to take the risk?”

“Because that is the ‘leading manager.'”

“…”

For some reason, I understood that answer.

However, the answer made me cringe, so I had to think for a moment about how to react.

“…”

“…”

After that, there was silence.

The atmosphere became awkward, and Jeho was still holding his glasses with his fingers.

“… React, Ahn Woo-jin.”

At those words, the conversation from just before was automatically replayed in my mind.

For some reason, goosebumps ran down my spine.

“Oh, I feel bad…”

“What do you mean!?”

The night was getting deeper.
