I Became the Leader of Academy City chapter 30

30 – Discipline 13. The leader is not surprised by the villain (5)

“Principal….”

My voice was helplessly scattered in the pouring rain.

There is a background that a strong person like Kim Dal-bi cannot do anything about.

There is a dangerous secret that can kill you just by hearing it.

A situation where we must be careful of our ‘listening ears’ even in the realm of the Federal Council.

There was no confirmation, but all the clues that had appeared so far pointed to just one person.

An old human and an elderly woman.

A being located at the top of the pyramid power structure in Academy City Neo Seoul.

‘Chief principal’.

Aka, the general principal.

The position of ultimate power that manages Neo Seoul overall and strives for the development and safety of the city.

In a place where there is no king or president, the role of the mayor is the highest authority.

No.

Where there are no tigers, the fox is king.

In the end, should we consider her to be closer to a king or president?

Well, that wasn’t an important issue.

‘If I were to be in front of that person, I would be no better than a passing mosquito.’

Once I had time to think, I was able to deduce many things.

‘Now I can finally put my mind in order.’

I looked at Lee Ha-min, the bomber who was unconscious and restrained.

Before I attacked Ha-min, that guy had already been beaten by someone. Judging by the situation at the time, there was no doubt that he had been attacked by Dalbi’s goblin.

‘That guy’s goal was me.’

How could I not know that Ha-min set off a bomb targeting me?

‘Did Dalbi come to stop that?’

When I think that way, it makes sense.

‘Ha….’

I sighed while wiping my rain-soaked hair. It felt like her heart was being clogged.

The problem was that Dalbi kept helping me. If she had simply been an enemy, she wouldn’t have had this much headache.

─ ‘We just run away together….’

Suddenly, the image of Dalbi trying to tell me to run away came to mind.

Running from a place where there is nowhere to run.

What on earth were you thinking to say something like that with a determined face? . I couldn’t guess.

That’s it.

I captured her emotions and continued her thoughts.

‘Anyway, Dalby knew Lee Ha-min’s purpose in advance.’

I think it involves gaming knowledge as well.

Ha-min would have received a contract for murder, and Dal-bi would not have been a superhuman who could understand each and every move of such a bastard.

Then.

‘Dalbi may have known the ‘client’. And if the client is the principal.’

No matter how bombing it may be, it was definitely strange to carry out a bombing in the territory of the Federal Council.

It makes sense if there was something to believe in.

Coupled with Dalby’s actions, I was strengthened by the thought that her client might be the principal.

I don’t know why Dalbi let him interfere with the bombing horse.

If all of Dalby’s actions had been controlled so far, she wouldn’t have approached me and left her letter.

Perhaps this incident was unexpected for the principal.

As I developed that hypothesis, another question arose.

Immediate motivation.

Why did the principal target me?

Looking at the fact that I only used a bomb horse, a discarding card that is good for getting out of the way if things go wrong, it seems that my risk level was not set high.

So, if there was a reason for targeting me, it didn’t seem to have anything to do with the ‘secret’ mentioned by Dalby.

One thing comes to mind.

‘What if Anomia’s greatest supporter was the headmaster?’

If we assume that, it explains that the sponsor is a powerful person and the principal’s motivation for targeting me.

The biggest reason why Anomia was destroyed was actually because of me.

‘… ‘I’m still just sick.’

Let’s hold off on being certain.

After thinking about it for 5 seconds.

I approached the bomber Lee Ha-min at a quick pace.

‘First, let’s search through our belongings.’

This is the territory of the Federal Council.

Aseong High School had no investigative authority.

Hamin’s personal affairs would immediately be handed over to the Federal Board of Directors, and if the principal came forward, he would definitely be silenced.

So if you want to find anything, now is your only chance.

I immediately searched Ha-min’s arms.

‘… ‘There is nothing.’

Not even the common smartphone was visible.

All there is is an auxiliary device that can be used for bombing.

It was then.

Slap.

The sound of stepping on rainwater.

I felt two people coming from behind.

“Aseong High School Leader?”

A woman’s voice was heard.

I turned my head back and looked at the people who came to see me.

One of them is a female student wearing combat weapons over a nun’s uniform that I have seen in the game.

The other is a male student similarly armed.

‘Spartoy?’

I immediately recognized that the battle uniform belonged to ‘Spartoi’, an agent under the Federation Council.

I got up from my seat and faced them.

“Nice to meet you. This is ‘Spartoy’. Under the Federal Council.”

The female nun bowed her head respectfully and greeted in a kind voice. The other Spartoys also bowed their heads.

Spartoy would be a hunting dog that carries out black ops.

It seemed like he had no intention of hiding his identity.

“I was dispatched after receiving a report… , I guess it’s late.”

This is the territory of the Federal Council.

There was nothing strange about them appearing.

Spartoy is Neo Seoul’s elite combat agent.

Minimum is the strongest among the 5th rank, and 6th rank is also common.

They move secretly beneath the surface. If they came out to the sunny side, Academy City’s ranking would have to be changed.

Just then, the white paper gracefully landed on the ground. Once her feet touched the ground, she looked at the two students standing in front of me and expressed her doubts.

“… You probably know that Kim Dal-bi ran away. What about distance control?”

“Yes, I went right in! And the manpower will be coming here soon. Ah, it’s already here.”

I saw security robots approaching the alley and students from the administration.

It arrived quickly.

It appears that the location was identified through the battle between Baekseo and Dalbi and came straight to the location.

“Director Ahn Woo-jin. Thank you for stopping the villains and protecting the citizens. What would have happened if Leading Manager Ahn Woo-jin had not shown outstanding performance? ! “It’s dizzying just to imagine it!”

The female nun put her soft and flirtatious expression into her mouth, and placed both her hands together and placed them on her chest.

“This is truly a great performance worthy of being called a hero. “I’m sure the Lord would be happy too!”

“Yes.”

“If this is enough, the Federal Board of Directors will pay platinum mileage according to the rules. Yes, you have done a great job, so it is only right that you receive a reward commensurate with it!”

“… ….”

“… “Are you hurt anywhere?”

The female nun, perhaps feeling awkward about my indifferent response, tilted her head and asked another question.

I shook my head.

“I’m glad. Thank you for your hard work. Leave the man’s safety to us. Can I just ask our person to give a statement about the incident? “For the investigation.”

“Yes… , All right.”

The female nun has a kind attitude, but she is only like that on the outside.

Memories of seeing her in her games came back to me. She was particularly easy to remember thanks to her nun’s uniform.

‘This woman was a hunting dog that faithfully followed the headmaster, right? ‘She wouldn’t have been the type of person to reveal her identity so easily.’

I got the feeling that the person who sent them was impatient.

I quickly realized the reason.

‘Did they send this guy to quickly secure the safety of the bomb horse?’

It was inevitable to hand over the bomb horse Lee Ha-min.

The agent of the Federal Board of Directors, a power organization, says he will exercise legitimate authority, so what can I do?

Even if I had obtained testimony from Lee Ha-min that the principal had targeted me, I would not have been able to kill the principal, who was the most powerful person, with that. In fact, the end of my life may have been brought forward sooner.

‘I already got important information anyway.’

I have obtained very important information that tells me to be wary of the headmaster.

You won’t be able to fight the headmaster in a fair way anyway.

Now that the principal is underestimating me to the point of sending bombs, causing trouble would be a defeat.

It would have been better to obediently hand over Lee Ha-min.

“Take care.”

So there was no need to continue the conversation.

I briefly greeted the smiling female nun and walked towards her white paper.

“Baekseo, where are you hurt?”

White paper shook her head.

“What about the manager?”

“I’m fine too.”

As I answered, I looked at the drones that had fallen to the ground due to the lightning struck by the white paper.

They were all horribly destroyed due to the acceleration of gravity.

‘Federal Council Drone….’

Looking at the mark, it was indeed a drone belonging to the Federal Council.

In other words, it was natural to be here.

‘Is this all ‘listening ears’?’

If Dalby had been conscious of her listening ears, the scope of her listening ears would not have been limited to the Federal Board of Directors.

It would be more accurate to say that the drone of the Federal Council was ‘included’ in the listening ear. The principal would be the only one with the authority to secretly do that.

Of course, the headmaster is not God. It would be impossible to understand all the stories floating around Academy City.

My guess was that AI would be performing the role of the listening ear. If the headmaster’s secret is mentioned, he will know it like a ghost.

‘The problem is that it’s not just nonsense.’

Security drones are designed to detect even weak sound waves because they need to quickly identify crime situations.

If he were the headmaster, he would be able to exploit that performance.

‘I will turn…’ .’

Her head was pounding.

Why did I, who had so much knowledge about games, not pay any attention to the principal?

The first reason is because they were considered ordinary extras without much significance.

The biggest reason is the second.

‘Principal, you’re going to commit suicide within this year anyway.’

Unlike Anomia, who was ultimately destroyed in the game, and Isea, who met a mysterious death.

The principal was the one who committed suicide this year due to depression.

There was no room for denial here.

That person like that was planning something behind Dalby… It was hard for me to believe it.

……

The situation has ended.

Kim Dal-bi had already completely disappeared.

Actually, it was as expected.

In the game, if Dalbi teleported away while creating flames, she could no longer chase after her.

After finishing my statement, Baek Seo and I left New Yongsan Street.

Because this incident occurred under the jurisdiction of the Federal Council, they would naturally be in charge of the investigation. Bomber Lee Ha-min’s personal affairs were also handed over to them.

The date with White Paper ended in such a bad way, but there was no mental time to feel regret. It was because my mind became complicated.

“… ….”

“… ….”

… By the way.

While walking down the street at night, a new question suddenly arose.

“It’s a white paper.”

“Yes.”

“Isn’t your house in this direction?”

Why is he still next to me?

The white paper tilted his head and opened his big eyes. As if asking why you are asking the obvious.

“Didn’t you say you can come to the manager’s house at any time?”

“But that’s it. “It’s late now.”

“I’ll sleep in today.”

…… ?

“Because it might be dangerous.”

… Isn’t overprotection a disease?

Of course I understood.

He seems to be worried about me because of his fight with Kim Dal-bi.

“I was worried. I take care of my body….”

“I’m hungry too.”

The white paper interrupted me and looked at me.

She asked with a grin.

“Would you like me to cook ramen for you?”

“Ramen?”

White paper nodding its head.

Is the purpose to brighten the mood?

Somehow, the intention of the white paper felt solid.

“… ….”

After the battle with Dalby, I noticed that White Paper’s hands were shaking intermittently and slightly.

It seemed like he was trying to hide his hands as much as possible by naturally hiding them, but as someone who pays close attention to even small changes in the white paper, I couldn’t help but notice them.

In the meantime, he said he wanted to come to my house, so I wanted to help if there was anything I could do.

Above all.

“Good. Let’s eat.”

Baek Seo asks me to make some ramen.

It was something I couldn’t refuse.

Baek Seo’s expression became brighter.
