I Became the Leader of Academy City

41 – Discipline 18. The leader blocks the plan of the school villain (5)

There is no freedom in this city.

The peaceful and beautiful scenery is just a facade.

How do livestock running around the ranch feel?

Not knowing that they will be consumed by humans at the last moment, they just run around the green lawn under the illusion that they are free.

Han Seo-jin knew the other side of the city, the principal.

She realized at a young age that she was nothing more than cattle roaming the pasture.

It was a natural process for something to be discarded if it did not follow the wishes of the headmaster.

However, Seojin had already seen the beautiful sea on the movie theater screen.

The primal desire to just look at something because it’s pretty.

She found a reason to live that she never wanted to find, and ended up throwing it away.

That’s why Seojin was able to survive.

Even in cities like this.

Pajijik!!!

Leading Manager Ahn Woo-jin’s full power is pouring out.

Shock waves of bluish-green electricity erupted continuously, and Cheolryonggon moved with restraint and aimed at Seojin.

The trace was drawn like a flash, leaving a continuous afterimage. It was a threatening attack.

Seojin retreated and called his minions. Skeleton beasts engulfed in purple magic are summoned from the ground and rise up.

The demonic beasts all jumped towards Woojin. A large number of skulls engulfed in magical energy like a haze filled Ujin’s field of vision. The magical power had become bone and flesh and had already become as hard as iron armor.

One, it was useless.

Woojin pulled out a new singlet from his belt.

Worse!

When I swung the bar, the iron bar inside came out.

Byeokchukbong.

The magical power circuit had already stabilized to the point where it could be reused.

Woojin swung the Byeokchukbong and caused an explosion of electricity.

Kwaaang!!

A fierce shock wave shattered the skeleton beasts, and a wave of electricity swept through them all.

“…… !”

Seojin’s surprised face was covered by a skull mask.

The level of magical energy being released from the Byeokchukbong was at an unbelievable level.

How refined is the magic power to produce such power?

… It was not the time for admiration.

Paaat!

Woojin kicks the ground.

He shot like an arrow, piercing the lightning explosion and creating a sonic boom. This is because he jumped in by greatly strengthening his leg power with his outstanding magical power. In an instant, his movements were influenced by Seojin.

However, Seojin did not lag behind in response speed.

Weeeing! A formation formed in the air, and a huge skeletal arm imbued with necromantic magic stretched out. It was a partial summons.

As if he had already expected it, Woojin swung the iron dragon without the slightest sign of embarrassment.

Kwagwagagagagagagak!!!

Cheolryonggon drew a beautiful trajectory, splitting the moment and rushing forward.

In the blink of an eye, the skeleton arm was shattered. Woojin’s attack speed and reflexes were already different from those of ordinary students.

In an instant, Woojin narrowed the distance between him and Seojin.

“What are you trying to wake me up for?”

“I have no obligation to tell you.”

Booooong!!

Skeleton demons with large skeletons, summoned behind Seojin, rushed towards Woojin.

An elite summon that walks on two legs and wears skull armor.

He swung his heavy fist like a cannonball was fired.

Boo!!

The fist barely cut through the air, but that alone made the air tremble with the sound of a strong wind.

Woojin had already avoided the attack by falling to the side. Pow! He and the elite summoner exchanged attacks.

Seojin summons skeleton beasts one after another. All the minions howled like animals and rushed towards Ujin as prey.

Quang!

The clash of magical powers causes cracks to form in the ground, and the bones and flesh of the skeletal beasts are pulverized.

However, Woojin also had limitations.

Quagak!

“Ugh!”

The skeleton beasts’ coordination was quite skilled. Like circus members who have been together for years.

It has to be that way.

Seojin was concentrating on dealing with Woojin and was demonstrating his mastered manipulative ability without any hesitation.

In the end, the elite summoner’s fist successfully struck Woojin. The blow contained a destructive power that could easily cause cracks in the ground.

Woojin blocked the attack by supporting Cheolryonggon with his hand, but was pushed back and received a heavy impact on his chest.

Pow!!!

Woojin’s body created a wave and crossed the air at incredible speed.

Quang!

Woojin hit the structure and left a crater.

Without stopping, the elite summoner jumped in and tried to swing his fist. It was an outstanding physical ability that even most 5th tier players could not match.

“Ha… !”

Woojin took a deep breath and came to his senses.

Thanks to the momentary pouring of magic power into my chest, I barely escaped fatal injury. However, his bones were broken.

There was no time to relax. Woojin quickly adjusted his posture.

Wheeik!

Kwagagak!!

Woojin fought back by swinging the Cheolryonggon.

The two beings continued their fierce battle.

That moment.

“…… !”

Sooooo….

As if a sudden winter wind passed by my skin, a cool sensation flowed through my body.

Woojin opened his eyes wide.

Because Seojin began to increase his dark magic power in large quantities.

Seojin holds a cane in both hands and chants an incomprehensible spell.

Woojin knew that pattern well.

It is dangerous.

Kuuu!!

A purple summoning circle with a diameter of 4m unfolds behind the west circle.

Elongated rays of light emitted one after another along the summoning circle.

Boom!

A large skeletal arm stretched out from the summoning circle and touched the ground, and the arm’s owner slowly stood up.

The skeletal beast, whose necromantic magic was neatly sculpted, gradually revealed its massive physique.

Height: about 5m.

There was nothing above the neck.

It was similar in size to a dinosaur.

A weak waist compared to the thick arms. The magic of the shape of the dress that goes down below.

At the center of the body, like other summoned beasts, was a feminine skull with purple magic as its bones.

A strange shape that is foreign, hideous, and has a strange aesthetic feel.

Carmen.

The monster let out a beautiful vocalization.

‘Why is that already…? ?’

Unique ability: Necromancy.

Magic formula type 5, ‘Requiem’.

The final pattern of the necromancer.

It was a technique that could be said to be her secret.

Carmen began to sing a beautiful song in a mysterious language. A romantic and mysterious rhythm. A lyrical yet clear melody that even evoked a sense of sadness flowed like a wave.

At the same time, a colorful purple magical power rose up around them, creating a monotonous stage and engraving a territory in the area. The area boasted a wide radius beyond the battlefield between Woojin and Seojin.

The exterior looks like an opera hall.

The person standing in this performance hall right now would have stopped physically functioning the moment the requiem ended.

That’s right.

Death is coming.

The length of the song is exactly 1 minute and 30 seconds.

The only countermeasures are to run away so far that you can’t hear the song, kill Carmen, or render Seojin incapable of fighting.

It is impossible to escape from here.

Carmen has tremendous strength to match her massive body, so she cannot be easily defeated.

It will definitely be difficult for her to defeat Seojin within 1 minute and 30 seconds from now on.

In fact, the requiem was like a terminal sentence for Woojin.

“… ….”

Seojin lowered her head.

The reason he had already taken the final step by spending too much magical power was not because Woojin’s attack was threatening.

I want to end this fight as quickly as possible.

She thought of herself as special and looked upon her favorably… It was because fighting with the leader was painful.

“You.”

A harsh blue voice pierced Seojin’s ears.

Her cold, almost lifeless blue-green eyes turned towards her.

“To that extent… “You plan to kill them all.”

Woojin’s eyes contained such sharply refined emotions that even Seojin was horrified.

Seojin closed her eyes and summoned up her remaining magical power to summon more minions. All of them rushed towards Woojin.

The Byeokchukbong held in one hand of Woojin could not be reused yet. After finishing storing the magic power, he changed it back into the form of a single stick, fixed it to the belt, and then took out another black single stick.

Worse! When I swung the single bar, the iron bar inside popped out. It was a basic triple pole. And so, the iron dragon and three-stage baton were held in both of Woojin’s hands.

The turquoise magical power that threatens even the 5th rank strong roars fiercely.

Sharp attacks continued fiercely towards Seojin’s minion troops.

Wow!

Quang!

Passy!!

Woojin fought fiercely.

The demon beasts dug into Woojin’s movements and left scars all over his body, and Woojin’s body gradually suffered cuts, dents, and many wounds.

However, Woojin did not lose his concentration.

Focus on mana management.

Watch closely the movements of enemies.

Efficiently respond to enemy attacks and swing your weapon without stopping.

Emitted a shock wave and smashed enemies.

40 Seconds until the requiem ends.

The elite summoner unleashed a fierce blow.

At a time when Cheolryonggon and Samdanbong were already defeating other demonic beasts.

Woojin gritted his teeth and poured magical power into his head, violently stretching his head out.

Quang!

A bursting sound similar to an explosion rang out. This is because Woojin responded to the summoned beast’s fist with his forehead. His brain rang, but Woojin didn’t care.

Woojin was not pushed back. It was thanks to his strong footing on the ground.

Blood poured out and wet my face. First, the two turquoise eyes on the red face were showing fierce persistence.

Phew!!

When Woojin violently swung the Cheolryonggon, harsh shock waves exploded several times, sending the body of the elite summoned beast flying away.

A strike of full power.

It had the power to crush even steel like a piece of paper.

Woojin avoided the quick attacks of the demonic beasts that attacked one after another and defeated them one by one.

25 Seconds until the requiem ends.

“…… ?”

Seojin felt doubtful.

‘Why… It’s starting to move… ?’

Woojin’s body is already in shambles.

Blood is everywhere, and there are stab wounds and cuts.

It would not be strange if his body, covered in blood, collapsed at any time.

Her movements also became sluggish.

I was definitely tired.

But why?

As the battle continued, Woojin’s movements gradually became more sophisticated.

It felt like I was in a trance.

Just a thought.

Woojin continued to defeat her enemies without changing her expression, with only determination in her eyes.

In that desperate battle, Ujin continued to grow.

Seojin shook her head.

She didn’t want to be admired anymore.

22 Seconds until the requiem ends.

Kwaang….

The explosion of alcohol caused by the clash of magical powers ended up bursting Woojin’s eardrums.

An unpleasant tinnitus rang.

However, Woojin did not care and did not take his eyes off the enemies’ movements.

Tzut.

Soon, Cheolryonggon’s electric shock weakened significantly. Even in the basic three-stage baton, only a feeble amount of lightning magic lingered in the air.

Woojin looked down at his Cheolryonggon, his blood dripping. His magical power has almost reached its limit. Even if I squeezed out all my magic power, all I could do was send out a shock wave or two.

However, Seo Jin still had many subordinates.

20 Seconds until the requiem ends.

The lyrics of the song, flowing with a calm melody, were about to reach the epilogue.

The battle still continued.

Because he was conserving his magical power, he was unable to launch a more powerful attack than before. Woojin was gradually pushed out.

“… ….”

Hearing only this name in his ears, he swung his triple baton countless times, hoping for the enemy’s destruction.

Suddenly, Woojin felt a dizzying feeling as if he was climbing up a steep staircase.

I continued to walk arduously, being careful with each step, in case I lost my balance and fell.

Because it seemed like someone was calling to him at the end of the stairs.

18 Seconds until the requiem ends.

Tuk.

I lost my balance.

I was briefly attacked by demonic beasts and lost consciousness.

But just like holding on to the edge of a cliff right before falling.

As soon as I finally caught the consciousness of leaving, my vision, which had been dark, cleared up again.

My strength is almost depleted.

I felt that the spark of life had weakened.

This was because the Requiem was eating away at my vitality like a rat.

It didn’t matter.

The strong will that still remained like a remnant moved Woojin’s feet.

With all his might, Woojin advanced.

16 Seconds until the requiem ends.

“Now… “It’s over.”

Seojin took off the skull mask and looked at Woojin with her bare face.

It was not expressionless.

Sunken eyes.

Her face contained an expression that reflected her complicated feelings.

14 Seconds until the requiem ends.

“Thank you for taking care of me. And, I’m sorry. Bye.”

The moment that smile appeared in her eyes, annoyance filled her inside.

I was extremely unlucky.

Her self-indulgent attitude of falling into her own stories and sentiments and driving people to their deaths.

In the meantime, the attitude of giving thanks and apologizing honestly.

Woojin was unbearably abominable.

11 Seconds until the requiem ends.

“… “I’m not leaving.”

Woojin widened her eyes, remembering her anger, and put a smile on her lips.

“You should catch it, right?”

8 Seconds until the requiem ends.

“… “That won’t happen.”

“It will happen.”

6 Seconds until the requiem ends.

Excited.

Excited.

As if the video had suddenly been slowed down, the scenery in Woojin’s field of vision flowed slowly.

Exciting!

Exciting!

My heart was beating more and more violently.

It wasn’t because I was excited.

My heartbeat was following the violent pulsation of something deep inside my body.

One after another, strange energy surged up my spine like a geyser, spreading chills throughout my body.

Something was about to explode.

Every time the feeling of climbing stairs continued within me, every time I took a step closer to the top, the beat became clearer and gained momentum.

Only then did Woojin realize what the feeling of walking on her stairs was.

Repeating magic exercises countless times, repeating hellish training under a teacher, and constantly repeating battles to protect the students as a leader.

A grueling journey to finally overcome the next level wall.

It was the footsteps he walked.

“Because I’m a leader.”

The eyes, which ooze blue-green magical power, are tinged with red.

There was so much blood flowing from my forehead that it went through my eyelashes and wet my eyeballs.

Seojin’s summoned beasts were still running.

Woojin stared at Seojin beyond them, and soon closed her eyes.

She raised her head.

I enjoyed the wind created by the waves of magic power and the cool air filled with dark magic power.

Soon.

Woojin’s fingertips touched the end of the stairs.

“… Uh?”

For a moment, Seojin lost his sense of reality.

The requiem came to a dramatic halt.

There was silence.

As if time had stopped.

The feeling of floating in the sky.

No, it feels like swimming in the middle of space.

Seojin felt an unknown sense of floating and emptiness.

“!”

At that time, I felt eyes on me.

When he raised his head, a mysterious presence was engraved in Seojin’s eyes.

Great devil.

Has goat horns and golden fleece.

When ‘The Hole’ occurred in the Pacific, the Supreme Being was the first to descend on this world, and also closed The Hole and ascended to the sky.

Seojin knew the name of that being.

Golden Sheep.

The pinnacle of all living things.

A creature that is evaluated as the 9th rank and is also revered as a god.

In a very distant place, several pairs of eyes were looking at him.

An instinctive sense of fear surged through Seojin.

The very status of existence was an overwhelming feeling emanating from another person.

“Whoa! “Huh!”

Seojin held his hand on his chest and let out a rough breath. Before he knew it, he had returned to reality.

‘What was that just now…? ?’

It was too vivid to be a hallucination.

However, to say that it was not a hallucination, the phenomenon just before could not be explained through cognition.

Why did the image of the golden sheep originate from Woojin and come vividly into my field of vision? Seojin couldn’t understand.

It was then.

“…… !”

Gooooo!

Immense magical power that descends like gravity.

A pressure that seemed to possess physical power hit Seojin.

Goosebumps arose all over my body.

It was a threatening magical power that stimulated fundamental fear.

At this level, even those outside the barrier would have felt it.

Then, before I knew it, Woojin was no longer visible.

Awesome!!

A strange roar suddenly heard.

It was above.

Seojin quickly lifted his head.

The air splits.

What should not have been divided was being divided.

A crack appeared, as if a glass window was broken.

2 Seconds until the requiem ends.

“That…” ?”

Different colors showed through the cracks. Like a gate connecting different worlds.

“No way… !”

A look of astonishment appeared on Seojin’s face.

Immediately after.

A fleeting flash of light shines through the crack.

“…… !”

Quargrung !!!

Blue-green lightning filled with black light poured vertically like a waterfall.

Space lightning.

A brilliant lightning strike destructively engulfed Carmen. Its power is at a level that cannot even be estimated. The density of magical power was beyond imagination.

Carmen’s singing and screaming were all consumed by the roar.

Unable to utter the last lyrics of the song, Carmen eventually disappeared.

“Ugh!”

Paaa!!

In the aftermath of the lightning strike, Seojin’s body was blown away by the wind pressure.

Highest level unique ability.

Dealing with one law that covers the universe.

Among them, ‘space’.

At this moment, the ability to manipulate space was given to a man.

Successive use of lightning magic power.

That was not at the level of someone who had just discovered their unique ability.

It was clear that the extreme potential that had been suppressed until now by the high wall of the fifth rank had just exploded.

Even so, wasn’t Woojin’s magic power already on the verge of reaching its bottom?

How was it possible to unleash that much lightning magic?

As soon as Woojin reached a new level, it was clear that some of the magic circuits that had been blocked were opened and he showed dramatic recovery.

Just as a dam full of water collapses, the water pours out with the most violent force.

‘… You were a monster. ‘It’s different from someone like me.’

Seojin thought as he crossed the air against his will.

There was no chance of victory against such a being.

When he was about to give up, various memories flashed through Seojin’s mind.

Under the headmaster’s management, friends were disappearing one by one.

The beautiful sea seen in the movie.

“Ugh… !”

Seojin could not give up.

I gritted my teeth, sharpened my fighting spirit, and steadily increased my magical power.

Awesome!!

The plosive sound is heard again.

“!”

The epicenter of the sound was right behind Seojin’s body.

Seojin quickly looked back.

Kwarung!

A man was shot out of a gate that appeared in the air, along with a blue-green flash of lightning imbued with black light.

Poisonous blue-green eyes were reflected in Seojin’s eyes.

Suddenly, Seojin remembered her new realization.

When she saw the sea in the movie.

The reason she decided to live in this city was because she just wanted to live.

Even if it becomes trash that deserves criticism from the world.

In order to survive and not be discarded by her headmaster, Seo-jin chose to survive even if it meant sacrificing others.

The sea was just an opportunity.

Actually, it didn’t matter anything.

If there is a reason to survive… Even if she tramples on others, she will be able to make excuses for herself.

Perhaps the man in front of me was the price.

Dismissal!!!

“Kkeaaah!!!”

Gon, the iron dragon imbued with her electricity, swung around and dug into Seojin’s body. Even though her body was strengthened with her magical power, it was too powerful to be able to handle it.

Seojin’s ribs were shattered, and her fierce electric shock burned every part of her body.

Dozens of blue-green electric currents intertwined like a chain and tore through the air. It was the final blow that Woojin could deliver.

Phew!!!

A loud noise erupts, and Seojin’s body passes through the air at breakneck speed.

Quaaang!!!

A resounding explosion of sound.

With the dust rising, Seojin lost her mind, leaving a crater in her ground.
