I Became the Leader of Academy City

Chapter 84

84 – Discipline 27. The Leader Does Not Let Down His Guard (4)

Whisk!

The dark blade cuts the air.

Weekend.

New Yongsan Street.

In the test room of the workshop, Oh Baek-seo repeatedly swung the black sword.

A multi-pronged, elegant sword was engraved in the air. It was like watching a dancer with beautiful dance moves.

I looked at him in fascination for a moment, but eventually came to my senses.

“White paper, how do you feel?”

“Hmm.”

The white paper stopped working.

“It may take some getting used to, but once you get used to it, I think it will be better than Baekryundo. It’s definitely good.”

“Then I’m glad.”

The sword Baekseo wielded was newly created using the platinum mileage she had acquired and put away during her middle school years.

The workshop took advantage of my knowledge of the original work and found an appropriate location.

After the last Moon Chae-yeon incident, Baek-seo lost his sword, Baekryun-do

Since Baekryundo was already a sword Baekseo was familiar with, I was worried that a weapon that could replace it would come out, but I was glad to hear that it was a better weapon.

“Hyunwoon Island…”

White Paper looked at the sword in his hand and muttered.

The lighting was reflected on the sharp black blade.

Hyeonundo (玄雲刀).

Baekryundo was called Baekryundo (white wheel sword) because its nose was shaped like a white wheel.

The current sword, Hyeonwoon-do, increases the thundercloud area of Unsa’s unique ability, and its neat black blade stands out, so it was named Hyeonwoon-do, meaning ‘sword of black clouds’.

‘The Baekryundo was a good weapon, but I guess the Hyunwoondo is an upgrade.’

I felt proud watching it.

I have to say that I feel a sense of accomplishment when I give good equipment to my favorite character. Well, I don’t know if it’s an appropriate analogy since I haven’t played an online game in a long time.

“I’m satisfied. I was worried inside. “You managed to find a good place?”

“I know something about this. “I looked around here and there because of Cheolryonggon.”

“A thorough manager… “I’ll repay you later.”

The white paper smiled brightly.

‘It’s healing…’

It felt like compensation for the past week of heavy work.

However.

“…”

“?”

Baek Seo seemed to be deep in thought as he looked at Hyeonun Island.

Normally, I would have thought he was simply thinking about Hyeonwoon Island, but recently, White Paper was often lost in contemplation, so it really bothered me.

“It’s white paper.”

“Huh?”

“I’ve been thinking about this lately, don’t misunderstand and listen. “Isn’t something happening recently?”

When I asked honestly, the white paper looked at me in confusion.

“Why are you suddenly asking that?”

“You look somewhat distraught. “I’m not confident, but I know how to distinguish your facial expressions to some extent.”

I’ve been seeing the white paper’s face all along.

Thanks to this, I was able to distinguish the facial expressions of the white paper in my own way. If a problem arises, you can easily recognize it.

Especially these days, white papers often seem to be disturbing without even realizing it. It seemed like it was difficult to even hide my feelings.

“Hmm… Honestly, my heart aches when I think of Baekryundo, which I was very fond of.”

Those words didn’t seem sincere.

The white paper does not talk about its difficulties at all. Even though we were dating.

I don’t know if I’ll be able to tell my grievances if another big incident like last time happens.

“You look like you don’t believe it?”

“… If you want to talk, talk.”

“The manager is also more perceptive now?”

“It was originally fast…”

I had a clue from the beginning.

If you don’t want to talk about it yet, that’s okay. I guess I’ll have to wait.

We left New Yongsan Street and boarded the back of the bus together. Perhaps because it was before evening, there were few passengers.

I concentrated my mind outside the window on a moving bus.

It was for training that I continue to do in real life whenever I have time these days.

My gaze was directed toward the outskirts. It was a place with a rock cut into a half-moon shape. I knew this in advance.

‘Setting coordinates on a rock… It’s still difficult.’

It is not difficult to set coordinates in an invisible place. The problem was that it was difficult to do this to the desired object that was far away.

Yes. The training I’ve been doing these days was to set coordinates in front of the half-moon rock.

─ ‘If a crack is formed adjacent to the object you wish to move, the object can be forcibly drawn into the wormhole. Then the object follows the flow of the wormhole and moves to the crack on the other side. It is difficult to do this with concepts that are not tangible, such as temperature or water pressure, but it is possible with solid objects such as rocks.’

A few days ago, Geumyang gave a detailed explanation of the technology she showed last time.

The point was that in order to move an object through space, the object had to be pulled into the crack with one’s own strength. Because the environment outside the crack does not affect the wormhole.

Geumyang was told to imagine that there was ‘another invisible hand,’ but I still didn’t understand it.

“Manager.”

“Hmm?”

The White Paper’s call broke my concentration.

I canceled the coordinate settings and turned my head towards the white paper.

“Are you still carrying the amulet?”

“Amulet?”

I took out a purple peony flower amulet from my inside pocket.

“This?”

The white paper nodded.

“You said the person who gave you that amulet was someone the manager liked very much, right?”

“Okay…”

Wait.

Isn’t this like saying that you liked your ex-girlfriend in front of your current girlfriend?

“That kind of feeling… “It was a human, though.”

“Are you by any chance your ex-girlfriend?”

“No, that’s…”

“It’s a joke.”

“…”

The white paper cut me off first, as if it had no intention of listening.

Even though there was no change in the white paper’s expression, I felt a cold feeling and a threat to my life just a moment ago.

“Anyway, why is that?”

“What do you think would happen if the person who gave the amulet forgot that he gave it to the manager?”

What do you mean?

“Dementia or memory loss? “Is that what you’re talking about?”

“Huh. Let’s assume you have Alzheimer’s.”

Is this related to the hardships the white paper is suffering from?

I decided to answer in a calm tone but seriously so as not to make the atmosphere heavy.

“That…, It may be sad, but will things change? But that doesn’t change the value of the amulet he gave me. “You might feel sad if you just forgot, but if it happened due to force majeure like Alzheimer’s, There’s nothing you can do about it.”

“What if I forget more things in the future?”

“What do you want to say?”

I narrowed my eyes.

Assuming a worse situation, I couldn’t ask.

White Paper closed his eyes and leaned the back of his head against the backrest.

“Just like the person who gave the manager that amulet, there is someone who is precious to me.”

White Paper answered in a friendly manner, like a kindergarten teacher teaching a young child.

“Are you talking about the withered flower in your room?”

“I guess I saw it then. Yeah, that one. “That person gave it to me.”

I went into her house the other day to look for the white paper.

The white paper seemed to have immediately deduced how I saw the withered flower and reacted calmly.

“You mean that person lost his memory?”

“That’s the feeling.”

Is that the problem with the white paper?

You asked me back, but now you’re telling me honestly.

“That person is also a peony.”

“Yes.”

She paused for a moment and imagined.

If Kim Dal-bi forgets that he gave me the peony flower amulet.

If you forget me.

What will I feel?

“…”

“Manager?”

Maybe…

“It must be difficult for both of you. That’s all I can say.”

It must be heartbreaking.

The last time I was treated Dalby harshly at the hospital was also a bit of a struggle.

No matter what story Dalby has, we stand on opposite sides.

As a leader, I am responsible for the safety of the area under Asong High School’s jurisdiction, while Dalby, on the other hand, commits destruction as a terrorist.

As mentioned above, our relationship is no longer just the two of us.

It has become a war involving responsibility and the safety of many people.

So, even if Dalby has a story.

My judgment was that I should not get close to Dalbi unless he revealed the story himself and completely betrayed the principal and came back to me, and unless he depended on me.

But… , The human mind is not controlled so easily.

To me, the peony amulet still had great value.

I never wanted to lose the proof that Dalby cared about me.

That was my honest feeling, and that’s why I couldn’t treat Dalby with any respect, even if he made my heart his enemy his.

At first, this talisman was evidence of longing, and now it has become evidence of regret. If I can’t deny my feelings, I have no choice but to endure it by embracing this talisman. That was my resolution.

So, if Dalbi forgets this talisman and me.

Still, I wouldn’t let down my usual guard, but I couldn’t avoid the psychological pain. That’s also not a problem that can be solved by my will.

I don’t know who the white paper is talking about. However, the white paper also had human relationships that I did not know about. It will definitely be disturbing.

So, I decided not to delve deeper into the pain of the white paper.

The white paper stared at me and raised the corners of his mouth.

“… “The manager is very understanding, isn’t he?”

From noble mtl dot come

“Understanding. It’s just like avoidance. No matter what I say, it will be nonsense. Because it’s not something I’ve actually experienced. If you experience that situation yourself… I don’t know what I will think or what choice I will make then. “I’m sorry I couldn’t help you.”

Even if I uttered a few words based on my humble experience, values, and way of thinking, it would not be able to resolve the concerns of the white paper.

“Uhm, no.”

White Paper shook his head with a smile. And he answered in a generous voice.

“I didn’t ask because I was hoping for a solution. It’s good to just try to understand. “Maybe it’s the answer I wanted the most.”

“I’m glad it gave me some comfort.”

After that, the conversation stopped.

The white paper seemed to be lost in his thoughts, so he stopped talking.

Soon, the white paper took a quick look across the chair to the front.

There are only about three passengers.

I wrote it down.

This is the back seat.

It wasn’t the most conspicuous back seat.

“What are you doing?”
