I Became the Leader of Academy City

chapter 29



29 – Discipline 13. The leader is not surprised by the villain (4)

Rubber-hose cryptanalysis.

It is one of the ways to steal passwords from security administrators, and is a powerful and professional technique.

What it is is a method of kidnapping the other person, squeezing them, or torturing them to find out what the password is. It is actually an established concept.

We have clearly proven the effectiveness of rubber hose cryptography by defeating villains through leadership activities.

Kim Dal-bi could not be an exception. If they want to keep their mouths shut, the only way to do so is to use force to force them to reveal their secrets.

Of course, having such thoughts against a strong man close to the 7th rank was similar to David in the Bible saying he would use violence against Goliath. Yes. It’s a funny situation just to look at.

So, just as David defeated Goliath with a slingshot, those who were weaker than their opponents had no choice but to catch their opponents off guard.

This was the moment when Dalby let down his guard.

Seuuu!

The moment when the three-stage baton, wrapped in lightning, roared and headed towards Dalbi’s neck, was passing slowly, as if it were a slow-motion video.

‘I don’t know what secret you have.’

I thought.

He holds a secret so important that it would kill him just to hear it?

Even after giving such a big hint, did I seem like a great person who would just sit there without thinking?

Even though Dalbi said she kept such a secret, she has always shown affection for me.

She was not proud of her own achievements.

So it was obvious.

Dalbi’s current appearance was probably the result of something that came about regardless of her will.

‘I don’t know the exact reason why you said you like my innocence, but I think I can get the hang of it.’

The silhouette of the truth seemed to be vaguely visible.

There are some things that not even Dalbi can do anything about.

She said he was the one who drove Dalbi like this.

Even when Dalby was with me.

Even now.

‘So what?’

I’m not a mind reader, and I don’t have any superpowers to read minds.

No matter what Dalbi has been holding and suffering through, she won’t know unless she tells him.

Even if the secret is revealed and I suffer terrible harm, even if Dalby ends up suffering from her guilt.

If I don’t tell her, Dalbi will end up in the position that she is my enemy.

Then there is only one option for me.

I have no choice but to catch Dalbi and interrogate her secret.

Will I die if I hear the secret?

I will not die.

Rather, it would resolve any threat.

For that purpose, I became the leader of this Academy City.

Pajijik!!!

Dismissal!!!

The black three-stage baton split the thoughts for a split second and reached the enemy, causing two thunderous sounds.

It was the sound of powerful shock waves of electricity hitting Dalby in succession.

If it were an ordinary villain, this would have been the end of it.

“… ….”

Soon, the result I had anticipated was presented in front of me.

The lightning subsides.

Dalbi was seen holding her black triple baton with her hands wrapped around her flames.

My strike, which was meant to catch the enemy off guard, was blocked in vain.

This was because Dalbi used her magical power in an orderly manner at her ridiculous speed, greatly strengthening her body and even covering her hands with dense flame magical energy.

Huh. A burst of laughter came out.

‘Well… , this is natural.’

After Goliath, the opponent that felt like a distant task was Dalby.

If I had suffered this much, I would have been disappointed.

Even if we continued our attack with Byeokchukbong again, it was clear what the outcome would be. It will be nothing more than a banquet.

I hope so.

“… Just say it, idiot.”

It would have been better to tell the truth.

Dalby’s sudden swearing revealed her embarrassment.

“If you don’t tell me, I won’t know anything. “She does all kinds of things until the situation gets worse and she doesn’t ask for help, and then she acts vaguely like she’s some kind of poor heroine.”

There was some emotion in the voice.

I couldn’t control myself.

Because it was frustrating.

Either she leaves, or she sticks with me.

Behave vaguely and say, ‘I won’t give you the answer you want…’ ‘ All I see is a clumsy attitude.

There is nothing I can do.

“I’m sorry. I have to go now….”

“I am.”

It would be okay to show a little sincerity now.

She felt like she would later regret it, cringing and saying, ‘Why did I say that?’, But I thought she would regret it even if she didn’t do it now.

In the end, she expressed her honest feelings out loud.

“I missed you. Sincerely.”

Dalbi’s head is shaking.

Her hair rose as if it had been hit by static electricity, and she clearly expressed her surprise.

Dalbi’s eyes were trembling like candles swaying in the wind.

“So just say it. She doesn’t know anything and doesn’t want to move on. “I’m not going to die anyway.”

I was sure to survive by using game knowledge or anything else. If I had planned to do it roughly, I wouldn’t have even become a leading manager in the first place.

“That…” “You say embarrassing things so casually?”

Dalbi stuttered her words, avoiding my eyes. She seemed to have never expected the words she wanted to see to come out of my mouth.

I tried to suppress my emotions and kept my mouth shut.

Dalbi thought for a moment.

Soon, her eyes captured my face, showing her determination. Have I finally thought of saying it properly?

It was a time when dark clouds, slowly ‘rumbling’ and making thunderous sounds, were filling the sky. It rained continuously.

“… “It’s shameless, but can I ask you one favor?”

Dalbi’s voice soaked in the rainwater. I nodded at her.

“We just ran away together….”

It was then.

Thunderclouds began pouring down showers. At the same time, Dalbi’s eyes widened as her heavy magical power covered her skin.

A sudden storm.

If it were said that all of this was a phenomenon caused by someone’s magic, no one would believe it.

“… “I don’t have time to talk more.”

Wheeik!

“Bwak!”

Perhaps realizing the seriousness of her situation, Dalbi pushed me away with her triple pole and she fell backwards.

“How are you, woo…” .”

When Dalby was about to say goodbye for the last time.

Quarrr!!

A fierce roar reverberates and blue lightning splits the air.

A ray of lightning landed behind Dalbi.

There was a woman who had come down from lightning.

* * *

Due to the lightning strike, the drones that were believed to be floating in the sky all broke down and fell to the ground. Break! The drones broke apart and fragments flew.

The thunderclouds that covered the sky above New Yongsan Street, and the storm that hit the ground, were serving as their host to a woman who had arrived behind Dalbi.

Aseong High School’s maximum power.

It was five hundred books.

There is no different reason why she is called a genius in Neo Seoul. Because she has such power that she cannot help but be given that nickname.

Immense magical power, excellent magical precision, and powerful special abilities.

Unique ability ‘Cloud Master’.

Under the thundercloud created by White Paper, her magical power is amplified several times.

Kwarung!

Chaeng!!

Ilsom.

When the sword strike was as swift as her thunderbolt, Kim Dal-bi quickly adjusted her posture and raised her sword to block.

A clear friction sound rang out along with the sound of a thunderclap, and waves of magical power spread out, distorting the ground and walls.

“Five hundred books….”

Dalbi’s eyes narrowed.

“Hello.”

The person who issued the sword, Baek Seo, spoke in an understated tone.

“You touched the manager… , dare.”

Sreung!

A colorful magical power mixed with blue and purple flowed through the sword body. One after another, without any sound, several straight sword paths were engraved in Dalbi’s vision at once.

Unique Ability Unsa.

Magic formula type 1, ‘butterfly dance’.

White Paper’s magic attribute was originally a water element, but thanks to her unique ability to manipulate clouds, she was able to apply it to her thunderbolt as well.

A technique that causes several thunderstorms using the Unsa’s ability. White Paper applied this to swordsmanship and reborn it as a new technique. So it was named the Butterfly Dance.

A beautiful sword strike filled with lightning split the air with no place to avoid. As long as she touches it, Dalbi’s body, strengthened by her magic, will be cut into pieces like pieces of paper.

Dalbi concentrated and swung her sword engulfed in her flame magic without stopping.

‘Chak, clap, clap, clap’, the metallic sound of swords clashing multiple times, along with an explosion of sound rang out simultaneously. However, Dalby was unable to block all the attacks and suffered deep cuts on his cheek and arm.

Ahn Woo-jin also tried to join soon.

[Gwaaagh!]

The goblin came out before he knew it and aimed at Woojin’s back.

“!”

Wheeik! Woojin dodged the goblin’s bat attack. Even if he had been hit, it was not with enough force that it would have threatened his life. If compared to a gun, it is nothing more than a threatening shot. It was definitely Dalbi’s intention.

Woojin turned his body back. The number of goblins that had increased to five was targeting him.

Woojin had no choice but to deal with them.

Dalbi and Baekseo constantly clashed their swords, causing repeated explosions due to the collision of lightning and fire magic.

Newly appeared goblins rushed to the white paper side as well. One, her goblins had her neck blown off or her torso split in half before they could reach her, turning into her smoke and seeping into her rainwater.

I was helpless as I was attacked by the white paper as fast as a flash. At first glance, it looked like a protective shield made of blades was protecting the white paper.

The white paper was swimming alone in time that seemed to pass slowly, drawing precise and fast trajectories with its sharp blade.

“Tch!”

Dalbi, who barely managed to distance himself from Baek Seo, kicked off the wall and quickly climbed to the roof of the building.

At the same time, a lot of smoke rose in the air and a group of her goblins were summoned. They all went down on Baekseo holding iron bats, swords, and spears.

Howling! Dalby began spreading flames from the roof of the building. He was determined to do something.

Chuck. White Paper extended his sword to the side and bent his knees.

In an instant, her image remained in that position like an afterimage and was washed away by rainwater.

As her mere moments passed, the magic power of the white paper formed a path in the air. It swells without a sound, but as calmly as a wave.

The flow of her magic power was penetrating the group of falling goblins.

Soon a flash of light spreads out.

Sereung.

The sharp sound of the blast made by the sword rang quietly.

Immediately after.

Sleep, flutter!

The bodies of the fallen group of goblins were cut in half and fell to the ground, hanging down.

White Paper’s new form had already reached the top of the building using her sword as its tail.

Unique Ability Unsa.

Magic formula type 2, ‘butterfly effect’.

Under her thundercloud created by Baek Seo, it doesn’t have much meaning unless the enemy is strong enough. It’s just that the cut ends up meeting its end.

If Dalbi summons a high-level goblin or demonstrates her goblin power herself, the tide will turn.

For some reason, Seonji Dalbi was not using her full potential.

‘Now, we have to subdue it somehow.’

Woojin thought. Here she has to corner Dalbi.

“Whoa…” !”

Woojin had defeated the goblins that were attacking him.

I planned to quickly climb to the top of the building and attack Dalby with Baek Seo.

“…… !”

At that time, the white paper that was still floating in the air looked surprised.

On the rooftop of the building. Dalbi was gradually being engulfed in flames.

Once again, White Paper’s sword strike spread quickly, drawing a beam of light in the air.

Hwareuk.

The sword simply cut the flame in half.

Soon, the fire was extinguished by the rainwater, helpless as it was in vain, and only the white paper was left alone on the roof of the building.

‘He ran away.’

Both Baek Seo and Woo Jin on the ground guessed the situation.

Dalbi ran away.

Even in the game, unless Dalby had to use his full power, he would spread flames and then teleport away.

The solution is to not give Dalby a chance to teleport.

Her Dalby is the only way to push her when she fights with all her might.

“Tch.”

Woojin clicked her tongue.

As it was a skill used in critical moments, the magical power consumption would have been enormous. Considering that it is a skill with such strict conditions that it cannot be activated when fighting with all your might.

‘They may still be on the streets.’

I didn’t want to let it go like this.

Even if you end up missing it, you have to somehow dig up important information….

[Ahn, Woojin….]

A loud voice penetrated the rainwater and reached Woojin’s ears. The voice was strained, as if there was phlegm.

Woojin looked towards the source of the voice. There was a goblin who had been cut by White Paper, leaving only his upper body.

“?”

All the other goblins turned into smoke and disappeared. For some reason, the goblin remained intact.

Woojin walked closer and looked down at her goblin. The goblin squeezed out her voice with all his remaining strength.

[This is what the owner wants me to tell you…. Thanks to that woman, I lost my ability to hear for a while….]

If she is the owner of the goblin, she must be talking about Dalbi.

Woojin understood that by ‘that woman’ she meant white paper.

Anyway, what does listening ear mean?

Suddenly, something came into Woojin’s field of vision.

‘… Drone?’

Drones that crashed to the ground with the appearance of the white paper.

I couldn’t see anything else that was appropriate.

The goblin vomited her blood and let out her voice with difficulty.

[The master has a plan…. When the plan goes well, I’ll tell you everything…. He asked me to tell you….]

“What kind of bullsh*t is that….”

Woojin could no longer speak.

Her eyes gradually opened wide.

Suddenly, a possibility popped into my head.

“…… ?”

What is Dalby’s secret?

Why can’t Dalbi reveal her secret?

Thanks to the goblin’s message, Woojin was able to guess.

[Then….]

Surrr.

After squeezing out her last greeting, the goblin turned into smoke and disappeared.
