I Became the Leader of Academy City

36 – Discipline 17. The leading manager is not misunderstood

Minhyuk Park, the secretary of Asung High School’s leader club, has a secret hobby.

Weekend. Minhyuk entered the figure store wearing a hooded hat and round glasses and carrying a large bag. A smile spread across his face, as if he had entered paradise.

Minhyuk’s steps stopped in front of a limited edition figure. The figure box was shining bright colors in his field of vision.

‘Steel Blood Girl Marina Silver Armor Second Version… !’

Minhyuk quietly sighed in excitement and purchased the figure.

Looking back at the past.

Until the beginning of this year, Minhyuk was not this obsessed with figures. He simply lived faithfully to his romantic feelings for a real woman.

But unfortunately, Minhyuk’s romantic feelings always brought about dark results.

─ ‘I’m sorry. To be honest… ‘You’re not my type.’

─ ‘I’m saying this because you confessed to me. ‘Do you know that you are rumored to be shady?’

─ ‘I look so easy… ?’

─ ‘I didn’t know you thought of me like that. I thought we were just friends…. ‘I’m sorry, but can’t we just be friends?’

─ ‘Ah, Minhyuk…. What if I confess to Nayeon? ‘Who will notify me now?’

Minhyuk has a particularly better memory than anyone else. The results of his confession were not forgotten but piled up in a clear form, gradually causing his head to fall down.

It was also common for me to feel ashamed of myself and kick the blanket when going to bed.

I wanted to hide in a mouse hole to run away from the memories. In the end, Minhyuk came to the choice of throwing himself into a cabinet or a trash can.

Because he felt disconnected from his world, his mind became more at ease.

Then one day, Minhyuk realized something.

Is there a need to seek love from people who will avoid you anyway?

What caught my eye was the 2D character.

He was an ideal being who could not have fallen into self-destruction.

After that, my favorite animation character, Iron Blooded Girl Marina, began to look different.

It was the beginning of ‘virtuous’.

In other words, it was the beginning of ‘love’.

Minhyuk carried the bag containing the figure box forward and hugged it in his arms. He just left the store.

I looked around with caution.

No suspicious person was seen.

‘I won’t experience anything like the last time again.’

Minhyuk repeated to himself as if making a self-suggestion.

On the day he was kidnapped by Anomia, Minhyuk lost his limited edition figure of Iron Blooded Girl Marina. Naturally, that experience remained vivid in my mind like a trauma.

The selling season has already passed, and only figurines with stains from someone’s hand are posted on internet cafes that buy and sell used goods. Minhyuk eventually gave up on the figure.

That’s why Minhyuk was determined.

‘Never! No matter what happens! ‘I won’t lose Marina-chan!’

Minhyuk remains in a state of extreme tension. Cold sweat broke out.

Minhyuk walked forward at a brisk pace, keeping his guard up. Even his breathing was cautious.

But anxiety soon becomes reality.

Suddenly, his hand shot out from the alley and snatched Minhyuk.

“Huh!”

Poof! The helpless Minhyuk was dragged away like a fish caught on a fishing hook. Minhyuk’s heart sank.

The person who dragged him away was a mysterious woman wearing sunglasses and a mask.

She was a suspicious person to anyone.

“Oh, no…” !”

Minhyuk was shocked and his voice trembled.

Are you saying that Heaven will not allow him to have the Iron Blooded Girl Marina?

Minhyuk thought, recalling the experience of being attacked last time.

The woman in front of him is most likely a villain targeting him.

“Save me… !”

Minhyuk’s body trembled like a cornered stag.

However, what had to be protected had to be protected.

Minhyuk cowered his body and held on to the bag.

“No, it’s better for me to do it… ! “Just Marina-chan, just send Marina-chan home!”

“Minhyuk, it’s me.”

“…… ?”

The woman took off her sunglasses and mask at once, revealing her face.

“A wild Hayesong has appeared!”

Haye Song, the person in charge of cracking down on moral turpitude at Asung High School’s leading department, greeted the audience with a lively greeting with her regular comment.

“… ….”

Minhyuk’s expression coolly sank.

As the fear that had filled his heart subsided, his heart turned cold as a reaction.

Yesong sighed and placed her arm on Minhyuk’s shoulder.

“Hey Minhyuk, what did you just say to Marina? What’s in it? Yes? Minhyuk Kun?”

“I will kill you.”

“Fuha!”

Yesong burst into laughter.

“Your privacy is okay~. “I’m not interested in the slightest.”

“You trample on my innocent heart…” , I can’t forgive….”

Tears filled Minhyuk’s eyes.

His weak heart was already in tatters.

“Anyway, I guess that’s why you didn’t watch the chat?”

“Talk?”

“There is a very important matter now!”

“I don’t have anything more important than going home right now.”

“Follow me.”

Minhyuk, who was weak, had no choice.

Yesong stuck her head out of her alley and sniffed her nose.

“This way!”

Yesong took Minhyuk with her and headed somewhere.

“Hey, I’m glad you disguised yourself too.”

“What are you doing?”

“Following.”

“Ah, is this stalking? Please keep such pathetic things to yourself. I can’t do it because my level is low….”

“It seems like the manager and the deputy manager are on a date.”

“!”

Minhyuk was fully prepared and moved with Yesong seriously.

“Where is it? “Track it by scent right now.”

“I see it over there…. Wait, am I a dog?”

Minhyuk did not deny it.

The two found a man and woman pair entering a large hamburger restaurant. They were Ahn Woo-jin, the manager of the leadership team at Aseong High School, and Oh Baek-seo, the vice-head. Everyone was in civilian clothes.

“Let’s go.”

“Yes.”

Yesong and Minhyuk moved secretly as if they were spies.

“?”

However, to passers-by, Yesong and Minhyuk just looked like a suspicious stalker and an otaku moving together.

The hamburger shop was spacious. Thanks to this, there were many blind spots where Woojin and Baekseo could be secretly seen.

After Yesong and Minhyuk ordered the hamburger set, they sat down in a position away from where Woojin and Baekseo sat. Thanks to the corner, it was out of the view of the manager and assistant manager.

“The double steak burger and teriyaki burger you ordered arrived.”

After receiving the hamburger set, Yesong and Minhyuk ate it and glanced sideways at Woojin and Baekseo. This was possible by peeking your head out of the corner.

“On the weekend, just the two of us go to a hamburger restaurant…. “Does this smell suspicious?”

“This is the love story of a heavenly manager. We need to properly check and support you…. If they are lovers, it would be my duty to protect their relationship….”

Yesong and Minhyuk quietly talked in a collective monologue.

At that time, a female student with blonde hair in a ponytail entered the hamburger restaurant.

Accounting for Asong High School’s leading department was guided.

She saw two people who were obviously Yesong and Minhyuk and approached them.

“Hey, Hayesong.”

“Come by Judoha.”

“Why did you suddenly call me in broad daylight on the weekend? They say ‘super emergency’ and make a fuss because something important is happening….”

“First, cover your face.”

“?”

Yesong placed the hat she had prepared in advance on her Doha’s head. As Minhyuk urgently motioned downward, Doha lowered her upper body.

“Lower your voice.”

Yesong said while looking at her Doha.

“It seems like the manager and Baek Seo Jjing are dating right now? “Did you hear a rumor that these two people might be dating?”

“I’m not interested in that….”

“Our purpose is to obtain circumstantial evidence that the manager and Baek Seo Jjing are dating. Write it down.”

Doha frowned.

“Why are you doing such a troublesome thing?”

“I’m in charge of cracking down on disorderly conduct? “I have a duty to check whether the manager and Baek Seo Jjing are dating or not.”

“Then there’s no reason to call me…” ?”

“You can’t just leave Doha alone. “We should all check out something fun like this together.”

“You talk nonsense, but in the end, it’s just for fun.”

“Hey.”

Doha decided not to ask any more questions.

“Hmm.”

I wasn’t interested in whether the manager and deputy manager were dating or not. However, since we have come this far, we decided to answer any questions about whether the two are dating.

After all, the manager is the person he serves, so there is no harm in taking note of this information.

Doha sat at the same table as Yesong and Minhyuk.

Yesong and Minhyuk chewed their french fries like rabbits and watched Woojin and Baekseo intently.

* * *

I stopped by a hamburger restaurant to have a quick meal with Oh Baek-seo. But for some reason, strange stalkers stuck by me.

One was Ha Yesong, wearing sunglasses and a mask, and the other was Park Minhyuk, hugging his bag carefully. Yudoha was just added.

‘What are you doing…? ?’

I deliberately pretended not to know.

It was just because I didn’t want to pretend I didn’t know.

‘Is it being followed? Suddenly?’

I was being followed.

I didn’t know until I entered the hamburger restaurant. Still, it’s noticeable here.

Suddenly, I felt that the expressionless junior who was watching Lee Se-ah closest to me was amazing.

‘You must have noticed the white paper too, right?’

I noticed it, but there’s no way the white paper didn’t notice.

At that time, Baekseo calmly spoke while drinking his drink through a straw.

“Hey, manager.”

“Why?”

“Have you heard that rumor lately?”

“Which one?”

I also asked while drinking through a straw.

“These days, there are rumors that the manager and I are dating.”

“Whoa! Cough!”

I swallowed my drink by mistake and cleared my throat repeatedly.

There are rumors going around that we are dating?

“Are you okay?”

“Oh my… , I swallowed it wrong.”

It didn’t seem like a joke.

‘Why didn’t I know?’

Have you been busy these days and haven’t heard?

The white paper cupped his chin and smiled his usual kind smile.

“… Really?”

I asked for confirmation.

“Yes. I heard that such a rumor was going around in the leadership team. “I don’t really care.”

“I care…” .”

You may not care about your reputation, but I don’t.

‘Then they… ?’

Now I understand.

‘Are you here to check if White Paper and I are dating?’

Did they even go as far as following him?

Your ability to act is amazing.

Anyway.

‘It was a mistake.’

It’s a rumor that’s likely to go around.

Recently, after living next door to Baek Seo, going to school together has become a daily routine.

High school students are a group of men and women who think, ‘Huh?’ Even if they are even slightly involved. ‘Aren’t they dating?’ This is bound to create excitement and rumors.

This is because love history is an interesting topic for those who are full of curiosity. Especially in the environment of Asung High School, where dating on campus is taboo.

‘I should have been more careful.’

Actually, I was concerned.

However.

As Baek Seo, who lives next door to her, asked her to go to school with him, worrying about her threats towards me, it was psychologically difficult to get rid of her. Of course she didn’t want to do that.

But we still need to be careful.

Because I am in a position where I have to follow the school rules like a sword.

‘First of all, it would be a good idea to give them the impression that Baek Seo and I are just friends and not a couple.’

Let’s pretend we don’t know those guys are here. It turns out that he even disguised himself to avoid getting caught.

Now was the time to talk to the white paper.

“It’s a white paper.”

“Why?”

“It is dishonorable for rumors to spread that the leader and vice-president may be breaking the school rules. We must be seen as an exemplary person who always follows the school rules without question. So be careful for now….”

When you want to speak firmly.

“Manager, just a moment.”

“Huh?”

The white paper picked up a tissue, tilted his upper body towards me, and wiped the corners of my mouth.

“There’s ketchup on it.”

“Ah, thank you…” . But isn’t it too close?”

She was sticking out her upper body so close to me that the white paper felt burdensome.

Moreover, she said she had wiped off the ketchup, but for some reason she did not take her hand off my mouth.

“Is it a white paper? Wait, what are you trying to do… ?”

The face of the white paper gradually came closer to my cheek.

As if he were going to kiss my cheek.

When I swallow dry saliva without realizing it and feel tense.

“Manager.”

Suddenly, Baek Seo’s voice filled my ears.

“I got a bite.”

“?”

White paper with a smile.

Soon, two figures quickly approached us.

Wheeik! One of them took off his sunglasses and mask.

“Got it! “I captured the kissing scene!”

Ha Yesong. She pointed at us and exclaimed majestically, like a reporter with a scoop.

Next to her Yesong, Minhyuk, wearing round glasses, was pointing at us with the same surprised expression as her.

Then the eyes of Baek Seo and I turned towards them.

“You guys… ?”

“Hello?”

The white paper greeted naturally.

“Baek Seo Jjing, as expected, you had a similar relationship with the manager!”

“Manager, you really are like that with the deputy manager… ?”

At that time, White Paper showed the smartphone screen to Yesong and Minhyuk.

“Ah.”

For a moment, Yesong and Minhyuk froze like ice.

Baekseo’s smartphone contained images of Yesong and Minhyuk approaching on the street.

“Trap?”

When Yesong asked, Baekseo nodded her head. At that moment, Doha was coming up behind Yesong and Minhyuk.

White Paper sat back down and put his smart phone in his pocket.

Hey… Did you know from the beginning that you planned to make fun of him?

“I met the manager because of work. “The rumors are false, so don’t misunderstand.”

White Paper said what I wanted to say instead, with his usual kind smile.

Yes, this is better.

I guess I was too cautious.

Anyway, the effort has been reduced.

“Okay… ? If it were Baek Seo Jjing, that would be the case….”

Yesong and Minhyuk had expressions of regret. Is this why something I thought would be fun ended up in vain?

The two shared a look with Doha, and soon Yesong asked me.

“What should we do now, manager?”

“Why are you asking me that?”

After admonishing me for following the White Paper for a while.

We played at the karaoke room.

Since we had already met, we agreed to go to a karaoke room and have fun.

It was quite fun.

A female student wearing Asung High School uniform was repeating her training in a dark space. A leadership armband was placed on her arm.

The screams of the dead, ‘Geueouk!’ Rang out from all directions. The female student had an expressionless expression that seemed to show no emotion, and she just quietly watched her minions fight.

That expressionless expression was something that the leader of Asung High School highly valued.

Finally, the expressionless female student raised her arms and snapped her fingers.

Just right!

With a cheerful sound, all the dead who appeared on the ground were immersed in darkness and sank to the ground.

Only the training doll, the walls, and the ground had scratch marks left by giant fingernails.

Even during the practical evaluation at Asung High School, many fingernail marks would be left behind on the site.

“… “It’s useful.”

A grave voice.

The expressionless female student turned her back and left the place.
