I Became the Leader of Academy City

37 – Discipline 18. The leader blocks the plan of the school villain (1)

The leader group is a large-scale military group, so they never fail to take tests that are directly related to the safety of students. The same applies to practical evaluations. I had to take on the role of supervisor. As expected, the cause is the lack of teacher manpower.

The practical evaluation is already a week away.

The final draft of the supervision of the leadership team’s practice evaluation was uploaded and was about to be approved. The most important thing to focus on was when, where, and how to deploy leading personnel.

‘You have to place it carefully. Suppose there are six sinners among our students….’

It was a problem that should not be simply overlooked.

Because we don’t know exactly when the six criminals will appear.

‘… ‘Necromancer.’

The six criminals who attacked Aseong High School in the game were students called ‘necromancers’ or ‘necromancers.’

The necromancer hid his appearance with his skull mask, so it was impossible to figure out who he was.

‘Why are you doing this during the practical evaluation? … ‘I don’t know.’

It would be nice to be able to figure out the reason in advance, but it was difficult to figure out.

‘Anyway, Aseong High School missed that guy in the game. ‘It should never happen like that.’

As a leader, there should be no messing around.

Even in the game, one of the major reasons for the impeachment of the leader of Aseong High School was the necromancer attack incident.

You should be more careful.

Practical evaluations are held in a large location and are conducted by grade level over 4 days.

The leadership team coach is a 2nd year student when evaluating 1st year students.

3Rd grade during 2nd grade evaluation.

4Th grade during the 3rd grade evaluation.

During the 4th grade evaluation, the entire remaining workforce was responsible.

‘It would be easier to deal with it if you at least know what grade level is being evaluated….’

I didn’t know.

However, you should not just place strong guys throughout the evaluation.

Practice evaluation takes a long time.

They were also human, so they must have been very tired, and there was no way a necromancer who had planned to attack the enemy in the first place would just blankly ignore the suspicious circumstances.

‘We should also respond to necromancy.’

Necromancers treat the dead as minions. In other words, it specializes in volume warfare.

So, we need to prepare countermeasures against necromancy without appearing suspicious to students on campus.

‘Once we look at the suspects….’

I looked again at the document I had prepared on my own. As a result of measuring mana on campus, there was a separate list of students with high mana.

The standard is ‘a number that would not be abnormal even if it were ranked 5th.’

The six sinners are basically strong.

Although the necromancer is the weakest among the six sinners, he is the strongest among the five ranks, so his magical power is bound to be high.

If favorable conditions are met, even the 6th rank is so strong that it is difficult to use.

‘There are about 50 suspects.’

Aseong High School is one of the major academies, so there were many geniuses of the 5th rank or higher gathered there. However, because the number itself was not that large, the candidates were narrowed down to 50.

Among them, the leadership team had the highest ratio with 28 people.

It has the status of a club that ranks first in the military hierarchy. However, this also proved that even the leadership cannot be trusted.

‘It would have been nice to be able to properly check the unique abilities.’

It was difficult to find out the unique abilities of the suspects unless the person concerned directly revealed them honestly.

There is a prevalent culture of trying not to reveal unique abilities by treating them as sensitive privacy, and there are also many cases where people try to deceive or keep their unique abilities a secret just in case.

There are very few people who develop their unique abilities, they do not know how their rare abilities will be used, and they may be targeted by criminals in any case. It was a social phenomenon that occurred due to complex causes.

So, unique abilities were clearly revealed, and students who were clearly not related to necromancy were also excluded from the list of suspects.

‘I’m not sure about your body type….’

The necromancer walks around wearing a hooded robe, so I’m not sure about his body type.

First of all, since he wasn’t as big as Muldae, tall students were also excluded from the list….

Knock knock.

At that time, a knock was heard on the door of the leadership department’s executive office.

“Come in.”

I am the only person in the clubroom.

He raised his voice and said.

The door to the club room opened, and our talent, who boasted a high-level expressionless face, came inside. He was an expressionless junior.

She came to my desk, saluted, then took a deep rest and took a pose.

“Thank you for your hard work, Manager.”

Dry tone.

A sophisticated expressionless expression was all over her face.

I looked away from the expressionless junior and looked at the document that needed to be approved again.

“Report.”

Unlike before, the expressionless junior’s mission to monitor Isea was downgraded to just observing and reporting on the current situation as soon as it was noticeable.

Ise-ah already realized that I was watching.

You can’t avoid monitoring at all.

Also, the reason for receiving oral reports was to avoid leaving records.

“There was nothing unusual. Isea still leads the pack and focuses on doing her good deeds. “It’s the same as usual.”

“Okay. Thank you for your hard work every time.”

Usually reporting stops at this level.

It may be because the intensity of her mission has become lower than last time, but the biggest reason is that Ise-ah does not show much movement at the academy.

However, no matter how much Ise Ara, she will have no choice but to start moving in earnest sometime next semester. Because it is in the second semester of this year that she becomes the head of the Mafia Peach Blossom faction and the ruler of the black market.

The time of Se-ah Lee’s death is also the same.

… Rather than that.

“Then I’ll just go…” .”

“Han Seo-jin.”

“Yes.”

Han Seo-jin, an expressionless junior, answered calmly without any particular reaction.

“How are the leadership activities? “Have you gotten used to it now?”

Seo Jin was listed on the suspect list.

According to the results of proper investigation this time, Seojin’s magical power was much higher than expected. Should I say that she is a talented person who I judged to be a promising talent? .

So, I have no choice but to be concerned.

Because she is one of the suspects most suspected of being a necromancer, also known as the ‘No. 1 Suspect.’

The top suspects were planned to be secretly marked by those with the greatest military power in the leadership team, such as Nana, Oh Baek-seo, and Ha Ye-song.

Among them, I decided to take charge of the expressionless junior.

Because he’s a talent I’ve had my eye on.

As today is the last reporting day before the practical evaluation, we decided to have a brief conversation.

“… ….”

Is this why I tried to talk differently than usual?

Seojin looked into my eyes without saying anything for a moment as if she was trying to see through my intentions, and then she opened her mouth.

“… There are still many shortcomings, but I have adapted to most things. “The seniors taught me very well.”

“I’m glad.”

I took my eyes off the document and looked into Seojin’s eyes.

“Now that I think about it, you said your motive for applying was to become a leader and protect order, right?”

“Yes.”

As expected.

Even though such a pretentious and shameful motivation for applying using the official ideology of the leader was mentioned, Seojin’s expression did not change at all.

“Then, is there anything else you want to do in the future?”

“… “I don’t understand the point of your question.”

“It’s literally like that. “I feel like you’re not always honest.”

“… ….”

For some reason, Seojin didn’t give any answer. I just threw this out there, but I think it was the right answer.

“I mean, from the motive for applying. “If I meant it, I apologize.”

“… No. I’m only telling you this now, but in fact, I came here to build up my qualifications. I said that because I thought I had to show enthusiasm during the interview. I’m sorry if you were disappointed….”

“I didn’t mean to hear an apology. Those things are all similar. “Me too.”

“Yes?”

I leaned back against the back of the chair.

“My purpose is the same as yours. If I successfully complete my position as manager, I will be able to get a good position after graduating from here. In other words, my goal is to build up my specifications. “Most of them are probably similar to you and me.”

“… Okay.”

“That’s what I want to do. Get a reasonably good job and live reasonably well. Do you have anything like that?”

Seojin lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, and then she opened her mouth.

“… “I want to see the sea.”

“Sea?”

“There is nothing else that comes to mind.”

The sea….

At first glance, it seemed like there was a small crack in his expressionless expression. We could see that Seojin, who had always hidden her feelings, gave her honest answer for the first time.

It was the same in my past life, and when I look at various media in this world.

The vast blue sea stretching beyond the sandy beach had the power to excite people.

It is natural to have a romance with the sea.

However, in modern times, going to the sea is prohibited.

There is no safe route to the sea in the first place.

The only way to go to the sea was to graduate from high school, obtain an explorer’s license, and go out. In the process, I had to be prepared that I could lose my life more easily than a bug. Because there are dangerous demons swarming outside.

“… Are you going to laugh at me?”

“?”

Once again, unexpected words came out of Seojin’s mouth.

Seojin looked straight into my eyes. She still had an expressionless expression that made it impossible to read her emotions.

“Why me?”

“It’s nonsense. “Everyone knows it’s dangerous, but I want to see with my own eyes the ocean that turns out to be no longer pretty.”

Does this mean that her own wishes are worthless?

I thought of the images of the sea brought back by explorers.

Now, the scenery of the sea is… It was changed so that I didn’t actually feel like I wanted to see it.

However.

“What nonsense? “I think it’s cool.”

“Yes?”

Seojin She couldn’t understand why she had doubts about what she wanted to do.

“Nature always cycles. By now, the sea somewhere may have regained its former beautiful appearance. “It’s been quite a while since ‘The Hole’ closed.”

The Hall.

It refers to a huge gate that once appeared in the Pacific Ocean.

The Hall sent out many demonic beasts, starting with the Golden Sheep, who was the only one of the 9th rank, and turned the world upside down.

The golden sheep has now been removed.

“Then wouldn’t you be able to find that beautiful sea?”

“…… ?”

“I think it’s cool to have that kind of wish.”

It was purely sincere.

Because that kind of desire is what makes the world progress.

Seojin blinked her eyes gently. But no emotion was revealed on his face.

“… Is that so. Thank you for a good look.”

Seojin bowed her head and expressed her gratitude.

After that, there was nothing much to talk about. She couldn’t even ask, ‘Are you six criminals?’

Han Seo-jin is a talent that I recognize.

He is a promising player.

So, I just hoped that this guy wouldn’t turn out to be a necromancer and end up fighting me.

“Now go in.”

“Yes. Good luck then, manager.”

Seojin saluted and left her clubroom.

* * *

After leaving the club room, Han Seo-jin thought as he walked down the hallway.

Seojin said that when she was assessed for practical training, she intended to leave Aseong High School after she had freed the dead and completed her plan. However, after she entered Asung High School, she faced unexpected variables.

This is the leading manager.

When I received the mission to infiltrate Aseong High School from the headmaster, Director Seondo was not a person of interest.

Seo-jin didn’t think it was that great that she solved the Anomia subway terrorist incident single-handedly.

However, after she joined the leadership club as part of her plan.

Seojin was surprised by the leader.

─ ‘In other words, are you telling me to monitor my classmate Lee Se-ah?’

Director Seon-do entrusted the task of monitoring Ise-ah to Seo-jin himself.

Seojin was nervous with doubts.

Why yourself?

Could it have been suspicious?

Seojin remembered asking the leader of the leadership team why he was entrusting a personal mission to him.

─ ‘Because I’m in the same 1st year C class at Maehwagwan as Lee Se-ah. ‘Out of all of them, you just stood out the most.’

It was the same reason.

Yes, it was an ambiguous answer to deny.

At that time, Seojin secretly used one of the dead man’s abilities.

Derived ability of ‘6th sense’.

The sense of determining whether what the other person says is true or false.

And here’s what we found out.

‘It was a lie.’

Seojin determined that the reason given by the Seondo manager was a lie.

There was no doubt that the leader had a hidden intention.

‘I must have discovered suspicious circumstances without my knowledge.’

Director Seondo is a person rumored to know information about Anomia.

Seo-jin thought that even that was just a rumor, but when he actually called him aside and gave him a mission with lies, he couldn’t help but be suspicious.

─ ‘Thank you for entrusting us to us, Manager. ‘We will bring you the best results.’

So, Seo-jin did her best to avoid Manager Seon-do’s suspicions and did her best to carry out her duties, even doing things she was not told to do.

She acted with enthusiasm as a new leader.

The intensity of the current Isea surveillance mission has weakened. But I still couldn’t let down my guard.

‘There should be no disruption to the plan. If the head of the department shows doubts about me during the practical evaluation….’

I couldn’t do it at that time.

I have no choice but to deal with the leader first.

While moving his feet thinking that, Seojin stopped his feet and looked out his window. The outdoor swimming pool in the distance was reflected in her eyes. It was a facility used for swimming classes.

─ ‘I think it’s cool to have that kind of wish.’

“… ….”

The words that Director Seondo said kept repeating in Seojin’s mind.

She

Used her powers, and she felt beyond doubt that those words were sincere, and she continued to do so.

I looked back at her past.

Every time she brought up the idea of wanting to see the sea, the only response she received from others was lies filled with the pretense of ‘good words’.

He was often treated as a dreamer trapped in his own world or a foolish person pursuing a meaningless dream.

The only person who did not laugh at her wishes was the principal.

But, she didn’t know that she would hear the sincere words ‘you’re cool’… Seojin said she had to experience confusion for a moment.

Seojin lowered her eyes and monologued softly.

“He’s a good person…” .”

Seo-jin, who had been pondering Manager Seon-do’s words for a while, eventually moved her feet again.

……

As time passed, the practical evaluation began.
