I Became the Leader of Academy City

22 – Discipline 12. The leader receives the best grades (1)

The day the Anomia incident was reported.

“Hey….”

The naked Se-ah Lee stroked his chin and let out an exclamation.

She was soaking her body in her bathtub and looking at the TV on the wall.

We had already obtained the information that Anomia was captured before the news came out.

However, no matter how much I thought about the news about Anomia, which was reported several times in the news, I could not stop being amazed.

“It’s really crazy….”

Ahn Woo-jin.

This man is truly crazy.

He completely destroyed Anomia from the beginning of his term as leader.

The infamous group of villains who were considered a nuisance in many academies, including Hanyang Federal Academy.

No matter how many times I say ‘this is amazing,’ it would not be enough.

With this incident, Asung High School’s leadership team’s position in Academy City has grown even greater.

Not Oh Baek-seo, a female student of the 6th rank who is called an undistinguished genius.

Thanks to the great performance of Ahn Woo-jin, a 4th-ranked male student.

“Wow, I owe a lot.”

─ Yes, thanks to you, I think things will go smoothly.

Lee Jeong-mi’s voice came from the phone placed on the table next to Se-ah.

“I really like that guy. “We should also express our gratitude, right?”

Anomia was also a thorn in the side of the mafia.

The most annoying intruder has disappeared thanks to Woojin, so I can’t express my gratitude to him again and again.

At the organizational level, Woojin had accumulated two debts. Se-Ah had no intention of ignoring the sense of debt.

─ Shall we prepare financial compensation? Or a rare magic tool. If we go a little further, artifacts might be okay. Thanks to him, it’s only a matter of time before we start generating huge profits in the future.

“No, if people like us give something like that to the leader, it’s a bribe…. “It’s going to be difficult.”

─ Doesn’t it depend on the cycle?

“Oh, that senior won’t like that. “He is a person with a strong law-abiding spirit.”

Se-Ah grabbed her long black hair submerged in water and twisted it around her.

“Then, shall we do this?”

Se-Ah’s narrowed eyes drew an arc like a fox’s smile.

There are a maximum of 5 candidates who receive platinum mileage each semester.

2 People after the midterm exam, 3 people after the final exam. In that way, it is granted in a lump sum on a set date. Of course, the number may be less, or there may be none.

Anyway, I would not be given platinum mileage until after the midterm exams.

However, there was no time to worry about mileage right now.

I think back.

Today’s lunch, I was eating a sandwich made by Baek Seo on a bench behind a building with few people around.

The sounds of female students talking could be heard through the open window.

“This leading manager is amazing.”

I held my breath without realizing it.

I listened closely and listened to their conversation.

I know it’s not good to eavesdrop, but I couldn’t help but listen because the conversation was directly related to my reputation.

“The train incident was a bit suspicious, but this time, even Anomia was robbed…. “Do you feel like you saw me again?”

“I admit it too. “My skills are good.”

I nodded.

There are eyes to see.

“Still, it’s a bit of a shame that Baek Seo didn’t become the head of the department.”

Huh?

“I think it would have been best if Baek Seo led the leadership team.”

“The leader of the leading department is okay now, right? Of course, Oh Baek-seo is a genius of the 6th rank….”

“It’s because you didn’t read the white paper properly. I swear, no one in our school can even follow his toes. The world we live in is completely different. “I wondered how a person could be so perfect, and that’s exactly what I felt after reading the white paper.”

“Hmm, is that tidy?”

“That’s about it, you guy. Honestly, the achievements accumulated by the leading manager this time would have been more, not less, if Baek Seo had been the manager.”

‘These kids….’

Even though it is a white paper, it does not know any game knowledge.

Intellectual superiority.

That was the power I had.

I admit that Baekseo is more capable than me in every way, but you wouldn’t have been able to catch Anomia without my game knowledge?

… It was impossible to argue so lamely.

I can’t even talk about my knowledge of the game.

If you look at it from another person’s point of view, it’s natural to have that kind of opinion.

Oh Baek-seo was such an exceptional child.

“Besides, Baekseo was always first in terms of grades. It’s not that the current leader is a lesser person, but nothing can beat the white paper…. I don’t know if I think this because I know the white paper, but it’s a little disappointing. “I think something would have changed more significantly if Baek Seo had been the manager.”

Because of grades….

The midterm exams are coming soon.

I had no intention of spending the exam period in a daze like this and being covered in the shadow of the white paper.

And now.

I was reading a textbook in the executive office of the leadership department.

‘aaah… !’

I studied intensely while cheering myself up.

There was a lot to study. Korean, English, math, social studies, etc….

Not only that, I also had to pay attention to practical subjects such as magic practical use and combat.

Because the leadership team had too much work to do, the amount of study was not enough.

Really, what would it have been like if I hadn’t studied before school during vacation?

Just imagining it makes me dizzy.

I am the head of the leadership department, the number one leader in the armed forces, with about 400 people.

In order to maintain my dignity as a manager, it was essential to get top grades.

What I am saying is that in any case, I must be an example to others.

Besides, this is the only way I can beat the white paper.

Even just one thing, it needed to be more competent than the white paper.

A manager who is nothing better than a couple managers.

If I continue like this, my reputation will be lost.

However, the current situation is that executives are gathered in the office.

Even if it was to protect my image, I couldn’t just read the textbook without hesitation like a dog scooping up food.

So, in contrast to the storm inside, I was reading my textbook calmly and peacefully on the outside, pretending to read.

“Ha Yesong, appearance like the wind!”

Ha Yesong opened the door to the leadership team’s executive office and came in.

“Welcome.”

“Welcome.”

“Hello.”

I said hello calmly without taking my eyes off the textbook, and Vice Manager Oh Baek-seo, who was organizing the bathroom, stuck her head out and said hello.

Accounting Yudo-gi, who was lying on the sofa with a book covering his face, showed no reaction. That was because I was sleeping soundly.

She Minhyuk Park, the clerk sitting across from her, greeted her while tapping the keyboard of her laptop.

“Wow, manager! Are you really studying!?”

With eyes like a rabbit catching its prey, Yesong approached my desk.

“The midterm exams are coming soon. “I was just skimming through the textbook.”

He answered calmly, as if emphasizing leisure.

“As expected, Manager… ! “I have the luxury of being second in school!”

“… ….”

It hurts.

I felt like a dagger had been stabbed in my chest.

“Isn’t it obvious? “Because our manager’s brain is unrivaled.”

“Oh, that damn praise again…” .”

When Secretary Minhyuk intervened, Yesong opened his eyes and glared at him.

“But Yesong, don’t you study?”

He was looking at me and taking his time and everything.

“Yes, not yet. “I review on a regular basis so there’s no problem!”

The triumphant Yesong.

“So what are you doing these days?”

“I usually spend this time visiting restaurants I’ve been wanting to go to.”

Yesong responded by putting her hands together and placing them on her chest.

“So, you’re not studying?”

To summarize, that’s what it means.

“Chief, is it really the most fun to have fun during exam periods?”

“But…” .”

That’s… That is correct.

The way to maximize the release of dopamine is to turn your back on the painful difficulties that are immediately in front of you and enjoy the deviation.

That was a privilege of life that could only be enjoyed during the exam period.

“Ehehehe.”

Yesong chose to ‘live happily’ rather than the pain of exams.

Isn’t that also one of the ways to enjoy youth?

‘It’s comfortable inside…’ .’

Why am I becoming obnoxious?

This side is constantly trying to prevent the advent of dystopia….

But I couldn’t say anything.

Because Yeson’s actual performance was good enough to not tarnish the image of a leading executive.

Contrary to what it looks like, I was actually reviewing it consistently. What was contained in that smile was honesty itself.

It would be nice if there was a little more work.

“Manager, here.”

“Thank you.”

I took a sip of the warm coffee that White Paper brought.

Intake caffeine, an essential buff during the exam period.

Although I already drink energy drinks, sleep is a luxury for me now.

Even if it was damaging to my health, I needed to consume more caffeine to drive away even the slightest desire for sleep.

“By the way, Park Min-hyuk, aren’t you studying?”

Yesong asked Minhyuk.

“For me, work comes first. “Reducing the manager’s workload is much more valuable and important than exams.”

Does studying take a backseat?

“Anyway, you can beat the test just by taking the classes you took.”

“Are you just flattered by receiving preferential treatment for your memory?”

Yesong snorted.

“Did you forget? “You’re terrible at math.”

“Isn’t that a poor thing?”

“Hey, Minhyuk Kun? Aren’t my application and mathematical skills inferior to mine? Minhyuk-kun, who has a great memory but can’t even calculate properly?”

“No…” Place….”

“Is that correct? Shall we compare grades?”

Minhyuk couldn’t even stand Yesong’s playful teasing.

“No, that’s right…” . I’m a bastard….”

Minhyuk quickly lowered his head and fell into a sense of self-destruction. It’s the usual depressed state.

This guy’s mentality was as weak as a thin potato chip. Fight back a little bit.

Yesong gave me an intoxicated look in her eyes, as if she had won. Whatever.

“I’m kidding, Minhyuk! Cheer up! Yes?”

Yesong giggled and grabbed Minhyuk’s shoulders and rocked him back and forth. Minhyuk flailed helplessly like a reed swaying in the wind.

“Manager. This is a gift I received from the student council earlier. “Do you want to try it first?”

Just then, the white paper naturally picked up a snack and put it to my mouth. The white paper’s soft voice was quite pleasant.

“Oh, good.”

“Ah~.”

Naturally she ate what was offered to her.

It was a piece of sweet chocolate bread.

It was delicious.

“… ….”

Anyway… White Paper’s smiling face was just like that of a daycare teacher who was happy after feeding a child something delicious.

I ate it as an automatic reflex, but somehow it took a toll on my pride.

‘By the way, I’ve never seen him study….’

Five hundred books.

She has always taken first place in her entire school.

However, I have never seen White Paper studying.

There was this type in your past life too, right?

The type that seems like they don’t study at all, but when they actually take the test, they take the top spot.

I’m sure you’re studying with great concentration, stacking up reference books and workbooks in a place where no one can see.

His ability is outstanding and his grades are the highest.

Looking again, he is a talent who is superior to me in every way.

So the white paper had no choice but to come to me as an even greater burden.

It feels like being an ant in front of an elephant. It’s overwhelming.

“Manager.”

“?”

It was still the time when Yesong was holding Minhyuk’s shoulders and shaking him playfully.

At once, White Paper covered his mouth with a hand visor, stuck his head out to me and whispered in a soft voice.

“Would you like to study alone later?”

“Hmm?”

What?

‘Alone… ?’

Following the momentary excitement, reason returned.

This….

It was a tremendous opportunity.

I was so caught up in my competitive spirit that I forgot the basic fact that friends often study together.

It was clear that Baek Seo thought of me as a friend with whom he could treat with the greatest ease and so made the suggestion.

The fact that I could study with a white paper seemed like a desirable fruit. I want to take a bite at any moment.

Because.

‘You can see the white paper studying…’ ?’

Would I miss this opportunity?

All the guys in this club right now are my rivals. There are no exceptions.

Only I would know how the best white paper, the best student in the entire school, studied. If you’re tired, you’ll win every battle.

I can’t help it, even if I’m petty.

There is no business in front of exams.

This was some kind of battle.

Before the white paper could change his mind, he cupped his hand over her mouth and immediately put his lips to her ear.

With the thought that I had to quickly seize the opportunity, I unconsciously became impatient with my movements.

“Yes, definitely. “Together later.”

“…… !”

As soon as he whispered that, White Paper suddenly shook her head.

Then, very slightly, her body seemed to tremble once.

… No, her body trembled?

Did I see it wrong?

“Yes….”

For some reason, the white paper pulled its head away from me with a bit of urgency, different from its usual relaxed movements.

“?”

What is it?

The white paper’s expression contained its usual elegant smile. Nothing seemed to have changed.

I wonder if the feeling of discomfort a moment ago was due to my mood.

“Drurling…” .”

Suddenly, Accountant Yudoha started snoring. Everyone’s eyes turned towards that.

There was silence for a moment, starting with the guy’s snoring.

Doha asleep on the sofa. The skirt was lowered so low that her underpants were clearly visible. Just looking at his posture, he reminded me of a man who came to a sauna.

“He’ll get perfect grades in math again.”

Yesong said.

It’s not just math.

Doha also shows outstanding ability in accounting, an elective subject.

At least in subjects related to numbers, he is the strongest in name and reality. Even the five hundred books are no match for it.

However, because he studied only the subjects he was interested in, his grades in other subjects were not very good.

Fortunately, his combat ability was excellent, so his overall score was always in the middle to upper middle range.

‘Still, there’s something he’s better at than white paper.’

For some reason, I felt skeptical.

‘I have to study…’ .’

My eyes returned to the textbook.

……

“Weren’t we supposed to study together?” ?”

“That’s right.”

“But why here?”

Baek Seo and I came to the training room alone.

This is a personal training space, rented today.

“Is it because it’s more private here?”

A white paper that smiles meaningfully.

I could not understand the inner meaning of the party.
