I Became the Leader of Academy City

34 – Discipline 15. The leader has a dedicated weapon (2)

Platinum grade reception card was inserted into the slot.

[The Platinum grade equipment you ordered has been manufactured. If you would like to receive it, please answer ‘yes’.]

The AI on the screen of Deus Atelier spoke in a friendly tone.

“Yes.”

[Yes, I will show you the location. Please understand that it may take approximately 5 minutes to receive the equipment.]

Oh Baek-seo and I moved to the room guided by the AI and waited there. Five minutes later, a large case arrived in front of me on the rails.

Chi Ik.

The case was opened, emitting faint heat.

[A triple rod with lightning properties made of the highest quality, named by Deus Atelier as ‘Iron Dragon’.]

Inside the case, there was a three-stage bar that was straightened in a friction-locked manner.

The exterior is elaborately covered with the scales of a black ‘iron-clad dragon.’

Grooves lined up along the angular mana circuit like an electronic circuit.

The thickness is a little thicker than the triple pole I used. The length was also slightly longer.

Inside the three-tiered pole, there will be pieces of ‘Lightning Wing’ petals mounted in a row.

The Lightning Wing is a mysterious flower that blooms only in the center of the realm of the Thunder God Beast, where lightning falls like a shower. The petals flutter like waves, greatly amplifying the power of lightning magic.

Because the value of petals was so high, most of the mileage was spent on them.

Anyway.

‘Cheolryonggon… ?’

I thought while stroking my chin.

The name is quite clever, isn’t it?

Steel and dragon.

Isn’t it a name made up of only cool elements?

I thought it was an appropriate name as it clearly shows the scales of an iron armored dragon.

‘I originally wanted to name it ‘a great means of conversation.”

It was a name I came up with because I didn’t want to give the equipment a cheesy name.

‘It makes me reflect…’ .’

When he heard the name ‘Cheolryonggon’ from the AI, the man’s blood began to boil.

The name ‘great conversation tool’ doesn’t qualify as romantic even before considering its cringiness.

This was a shameful matter that I could not tolerate as a man.

In essence, there is a difference between cringe and romance.

I already got my own equipment, so it only made sense to give it a cool name.

[If you don’t like the name, change it….]

“I like it. Cheolryonggon. Good night.”

[I’m glad you like it.]

Let’s listen.

I grabbed the iron dragon.

‘Ah, this cool and heavy feeling….’

A strange sensation flowed through my palms and throughout my body. It was as if Cheolryonggon was judging whether I was worthy of becoming his master.

Well, this is too romantic an expression….

It was just that ‘magic resistance’ was occurring.

The lower the magic compatibility with the equipment, the more severe the magic resistance becomes.

As a result, it becomes difficult to use magical power through equipment, and it is even painful. I guess I have no choice but to tremble if I want to use it.

One, my mana suitability is the best.

The senses conveyed by the Cheolryonggon were amplified within me like a resonance tube and only helped with the circulation of magical power.

‘Thickness, length, durability, weight, grip. ‘I’m satisfied with everything.’

As my magical power, which had flowed through the magic circuit of the iron dragon, circulated throughout my body again, I was able to sensibly gauge how strong a weapon this three-stage baton was.

AI was like that.

I will be able to use this triple pole like an organ of my own body.

I thought I knew the reason.

Even though I haven’t used it yet, it fits perfectly in my hand.

[Do you want to test the equipment?]

“Yes. Request.”

[We will open the Scarecrow Training Ground. Please select the level of scarecrow you want. The levels are from 1 to 10….]

“With the strongest one.”

[Yes, you have selected level 10.]

Kkii Iik.

As one wall went up, a large training doll came into view. Thinking back to the game, that doll boasts hardness that can withstand most attacks. Even if you fire a shotgun or a cannon, it will only make a scratch.

Weeeing.

When the holographic image was activated, the training doll took on the shape of a monster. It roared.

The hardness of dolls according to level is the same in all workshops. This is because sandbags cannot be differentiated when testing newly forged equipment.

And level 10 was a level that could only be attempted by someone who was at least a top 5 level strong and had at least platinum level equipment.

‘Okay.’

This is a level that I wouldn’t have even bothered to look at.

Nevertheless, the moment I grabbed the Iron Dragon, I was convinced that I had to reach level 10 to be able to test it out.

“I’ll give it a try and come back.”

“Sure. Go for it.”

A white paper with a gentle smile.

I approached the training doll.

The magic circuit has been activated. The magic power concentrated in the lower body spreads evenly throughout the body. That magical energy was injected into the Cheolryonggon.

Tsk! Along with the sound of an electric current flowing, turquoise magic energy flowed through the iron dragon’s magic circuit.

‘Let’s go.’

Paaat!

He kicked the ground and swung the iron dragon with all his might towards the training dummy.

Pow!!!

Pajijik!!!

A roaring sound.

A shock wave of electricity hit the training dummy several times along with a heavy blow.

The magic power amplified by the Iron Dragon is powerfully released. Fierce lightning flashes danced in the air, and strong wind pressure swept through, swallowing up the air for a moment.

Quang! The monster screamed and fell straight into the wall. This is because the ankle of the training dummy fixed to the ground came off.

Chijik. The holographic image made noise and flickered. Then, the form of the training doll that was hidden by the monster skin was revealed. As a result of being hit once, his whole body was broken in half.

“Wow….”

White Paper’s exclamation was heard from behind. It was the first time she had heard such a sincere exclamation from her.

I was equally surprised.

‘It turned…’ .’

How many times was the magical power amplified by the blow just a moment ago?

I couldn’t guess.

‘… After all, people are temperamental.’

I looked down at the black triple peak, Cheolryonggon, once again realizing the eternal truth.

It was made up of the scales of an iron armored dragon, and a blue-green electric current was continuously flowing along its straight magic circuit. As if it leaves a lingering feeling.

‘It’s boring.’

The corners of his mouth slowly rose.

This is why my heart began to feel excited without me even knowing.

“Thank you. “I’ll use it well.”

[Not much to say. Have a good day.]

I wanted to leave it to Ganghwa as is, but it was impossible because I didn’t have platinum mileage.

Due to the New Yongsan Street incident, the Federal Board of Directors sent an official letter offering compensation with platinum mileage. However, according to the rules, it is scheduled to come after the final exams are over, so there is still a long way to go. For now, I have no choice but to be satisfied with 0-strong Cheolryonggon.

Drur.

I poured a very small amount of magic power into the groove of the handle and pressed the end of the iron dragon, and the rod was pushed in. I inserted the shortened Cheolryonggon into the holster attached to my belt.

“Baekseo, let’s go back.”

The white paper smiled and tilted its head at me.

“Manager, you look excited.”

“Hmm? No way… ? “Is it the same as usual?”

We left Deus Atelier.

“Do you like it? “The power is no joke.”

“It exceeded my expectations.”

If only Cheolryonggon was available, he might be able to deal a real blow to Kim Dal-bi.

The reason why Dalbi came to mind as a comparison target is no different. Because my attack didn’t work effectively last time.

You wouldn’t know it if I had launched a series of attacks, but there was no way my serial attacks would work against Dalby, who could block even Baekseo’s consecutive attacks.

Of course, I didn’t want to harm Dalbi. However, if there was a situation where he had to subdue her, he would eventually have to wield this triple baton.

“It feels good in the hand. “I like how heavy it is.”

Now that I think about it….

For this, you will need to practice controlling your strength.

If you swing it at anyone who breaks the rules, you will end up with a broken bone.

“I’m glad.”

The white paper smiled happily.

“It would hurt if I got hit too.”

“It hurts…. Right….”

It was an answer that made me realize the difference in skill that I sometimes wanted to forget.

I don’t think I can beat White Paper even if I hold the Iron Dragon.

But there was no need to be discouraged.

I finally got the special equipment I had been longing for. I might be able to develop various technologies with this. All that remained was to become stronger in the future.

Well, that’s done for now.

‘Good timing. ‘I’ll soon have to deal with six criminals.’

In the game, the six criminals caused incidents throughout Academy City and made headlines.

The game was designed so that the player would naturally hear the news of the six criminals and think, ‘It would be fun to fight with him.’

The academy was also one of the stages where the six criminals committed an incident. The six criminals did not appear at Sein High School, where our protagonist Lee Tae-seong attends, but the situation was different at other academies.

‘Sooner or later, someone will attack Aseong High School.’

I don’t know the reason.

In the game, news was reported that one of the six criminals had broken into Asung High School.

The specific circumstances of the incident could not be determined. Is it because Asung High School was far away from the main stage of the game? I don’t know.

Even if I was able to find out the circumstances of the incident, I might not have known because I was a light user.

Anyway, I had to prepare.

However.

‘I don’t know how Aseong High School’s security was breached….’

It was a question for which there is still no clear answer.

Because one of the six criminals appears in the game, Asung High School’s security will likely be breached. However, after attending Aseong High School, I could not help but have doubts.

As Asung High School is a major academy, the system is well designed to thoroughly prepare for external intrusion.

Even last year, security became stronger due to an incident where a magician broke in during the exam. Even I felt reassured.

‘… ‘Let’s put that question aside for now.’

Because there is no clear answer right now.

I have to eat now.

“I’m hungry. Should I eat something?”

“Manager.”

“Why?”

“I have somewhere to stop by today. Do you want to go first?”

“?”

The white paper said with a kind smile.

Usually white papers tend to be specific. She said that if she didn’t mention it, it meant she didn’t want to talk about it. So she said, ‘Where?’ She didn’t bother to ask.

‘Is it related to private life?’

Last time, I realized that Baek Seo has a private life that he doesn’t want to be found out about.

Even if it wasn’t such a problem, I didn’t think to inquire about it. She only regrets that she won’t be able to go on a date at New Yongsan Street.

It seemed like the date here would have to be postponed until when I came to strengthen the Cheolryonggon.

“Okay. “I’ll go first.”

“Yes. “I’ll prepare dinner later, so wash your hands well and wait.”

“?”

Are you my mom?

* * *

The ultramarine blue sky was driving away the sunset. It was a time when night was falling.

Oh Baek-seo climbed the hill, listening to the sound of insects stinging, and reached a small playground. It was a quiet playground with only slides, seesaws, and swings.

There was one female student there.

Squeak, squeal. The sound of the swing. She was sitting quietly on the swing with her toes in the sand.

Light pink hair flowing like waves. Hanyang Federal Academy’s school uniform without name tag.

“Welcome. “It’s been two weeks?”

Kim Dal-bi, one of the terrorists in Academy City, greeted me without paying attention.

Baekseo stopped her feet and looked at Dalbi with her calm face. However, White Paper’s left hand was resting on the sword worn at his waist.

“Hello.”

The white paper smiled softly and greeted.

“That’s the face I wanted to see.”

“I missed you, I’ll take it kindly?”

Dalby reacts cutely.

“… ….”

White paper narrowed his eyes.

“Isn’t it really convenient to have a high hierarchy? “There is also a presence that can only be felt by those in the 6th rank.”

“Okay. “He showed his presence openly.”

White Paper shrugged one of her shoulders.

“Why did you call me? “If I don’t have anything special to do, I’ll pull out my sword right away.”

“What if there is something special to see?”

“Then I’ll pick it a little later.”

“Anyway, the selection is the same.”

The white paper intentionally did not call the leadership team. Because Dalby seemed like he wanted to talk.

Baek Seo also wanted to talk to her before catching her Dalby. He had something to ask, and he wanted to dig up information. In the current atmosphere, it seemed like that could happen.

“What… , I have no intention of fighting today. “I have something to tell you.”

Dalbi looked at the white paper and spoke firmly.

“Give me three minutes. I have something to tell you about your leader….”

In the blink of an eye, Baekseo sat down on the swing next to Dalbi.

It was very fast, as if he had used the Chukji method.

“Say it.”

“Wow… “You’re surprisingly explicit, aren’t you?”

Dalbi laughed and was impressed.
