I Became the Student Council President of Academy City-Chapter 100

"Are you telling me the Student Council President of Ahseong High School did all this?"

How could that even be possible?

The idea that a single person could obliterate such a large area in just one night was beyond comprehension.

"Even if he fought against the Gluttonous Twin, could this really be possible?"

It had become public knowledge through the investigation that the one who turned the Zero Zone into a wasteland was An Woo-jin, the Student Council President of Ahseong High School. He had cooperated fully, giving a detailed account of the incident.

However, no matter how one looked at it, the scene defied logic.

"Do the Student Council Presidents of major academies normally do this kind of thing?" "Of course not. Stop talking and focus on the investigation." "But seriously... Wasn't the Ahseong High Student Council President just a 4th-tier until last semester? I remember watching a live broadcast when he fought Shinso!" "There were rumors that he awakened his Unique Ability. He’s probably at least 5th-tier by now." "5th-tier? But even so, this is..." "I know."

The senior investigator wiped the sweat from his brow.

"This is the result of someone who has reached the 7th-tier."

The 7th-tier, a level where a Unique Ability becomes nothing short of a disaster.

If a 5th-tier is considered a genius and a 6th-tier a monster, then a 7th-tier is akin to a walking natural disaster.

This is no exaggeration.

The proof was right in front of the investigators.

"As far as I know, there are only two people in this city who have reached the 7th-tier or higher. One is Goliath, and the other is the strongest among the Spartoi. I don’t know their names or abilities." "But... Both of them are considered urban legends, right? I don’t get it... This is just too..." "Do you think I understand it any better? The fact that someone who was just a 4th-tier last semester has become comparable to those two?" "Could it be that something like a meridian has opened up? Like in martial arts novels. You know, how someone destined to be a monster appears weaker because they require so much experience to grow. I mean, there were already rumors that the Ahseong High Student Council President was extraordinarily strong for a 4th-tier. And wasn't he the one who took down the Necromancer and the Technomancer among the Six Sinners?"

The senior investigator let out a sigh.

"Sigh, I don’t know. If the Ahseong High Student Council President has really reached the 7th-tier, I have no idea what’s going to happen next or if we can even handle it... Let’s just focus on our job for now. We can be shocked after the conclusion is reached." "Y-yes, sir...!"

The investigators quickened their pace.

They headed towards the abandoned hospital that Woo-jin had mentioned in his testimony.

Then, they stopped in their tracks.

"What the...?"

There were two areas that were strangely intact.

A very small portion of the ground.

And the abandoned hospital.

These clues left the investigators astonished.

The fact that the destruction of the Zero Zone wasn’t just the result of overwhelming brute force.

But rather, it was evidence that the devastation had been caused by a force that was 'perfectly controlled.'

"This is insane..."

The investigators were left in awe, pondering just how terrifying a Unique Ability could become at the level of a disaster, and what kind of being An Woo-jin, the Student Council President of Ahseong High, had turned into.

They could only mutter in amazement for some time.

"An order to cease all activities?"

In the Student Council Office of Ahseong High School.

A notice had arrived from the Hanyang Federation Academy.

Ha Ye-song, who had read the notice belatedly, couldn’t contain her shock.

"Until the issue of excessive self-defense is resolved? Baek-seo is to be treated as the acting Student Council President in the meantime? Does this mean the President can’t be the Student Council President anymore!?" "Since there’s a time limit, it just means he can’t perform his duties for a while. He’s still holding the position." "But... For how long!?"

Park Min-hyuk, with a trembling voice, answered as he rubbed his forehead.

"I don’t know... Once the Police Academy completes their investigation, they’ll hand the case over to the Prosecution Department of the Trial Academy. Given the seriousness of the incident, it’s almost certain he’ll be indicted, and then the President will remain a defendant until a final verdict is reached... Even without that notice, he wouldn’t be able to act. He’s already been detained. It seems like this notice is just a warning for us not to do anything rash." "Great, that’s really encouraging!"

Ye-song snapped back, her tone dripping with sarcasm.

"But that’s the reality..." "Shut up! What did the President do wrong!? The Gluttonous Twin was the one who tried to kill him first, and the President only fought back!" "But it’s still considered homicide..."

An Woo-jin was facing charges of murder in connection with the recent incident involving the Gluttonous Twin.

However, given that the Gluttonous Twin had first attempted to kill Woo-jin, and that Woo-jin had retaliated in his capacity as the Student Council President, the primary issue was whether the act constituted excessive self-defense.

"If we can prove that the Gluttonous Twin was too strong and that Woo-jin had no choice, we might be fine... But in the worst case, the charges could be changed to murder or manslaughter. That would be dangerous." "Ugh! Stop saying such ominous things! Don’t you know what self-defense is!? Are you trying to argue with me?"

Min-hyuk shook his head.

"If they determine that he could have subdued him without lethal force, then it won’t be recognized as self-defense. You know how hard it is to get self-defense recognized." "I don’t care! No way... The Gluttonous Twin was planning to kill the President with an immensely powerful magical technique, right? The President had no choice but to kill him in self-defense! How could this not be considered self-defense...!" "And that’s why self-defense is so controversial... The precedents left by judges before they were replaced by AI have made it that way..." "The law is a mess! Were the judges planning to learn this lesson only after experiencing it themselves? Wait a minute. What have you been looking at this whole time?"

Min-hyuk was wearing glasses and intently reading through some documents.

"Just some legal texts and precedents. I pulled out everything I could find. I’m trying to see if there’s any way to help the President." "Isn’t that the Defense Department’s job? The Chairman already hired a top firm."

Each academy had its own Defense Department, a specialized club of students who studied law and acted as defense attorneys.

These clubs usually operated like businesses, and because the major academies were so large, it was easy to set up offices, often located near the Trial Academy.

"I just want to see if there’s anything we can do... I feel so anxious. I’m trying to memorize what I can in case it helps with this or any future cases." "Min-hyuk, you must have been really pissed off yesterday..."

Min-hyuk appeared calm, but he was deeply frustrated.

It was because of what had happened the previous night when the Police Academy suddenly blocked the Student Council’s vehicle and demanded that Woo-jin be handed over, leading to a heated argument.

Min-hyuk had threatened the Police Academy.

He argued that the President wasn’t at risk of destroying evidence or fleeing, so there was no reason for an emergency arrest. Without an arrest warrant, they had no grounds to take him. He insisted they needed to go to the hospital first.

Yet in the end, Woo-jin had patted Min-hyuk on the shoulder and surrendered to the Police Academy on his own.

Clearly, Woo-jin had made that choice out of concern for Min-hyuk and the rest of the Student Council, but Min-hyuk was left feeling powerless and frustrated.

"What are you reading? Want to take a look?"

Min-hyuk waved the documents towards Ye-song, who quickly shook her head and backed away.

"Just looking at legal jargon gives me hives and makes me nauseous. It’s like an allergy..." "That’s a strange allergy..." "Anyway, does this mean the President has to stay locked up until the trial?"

"Yes."

At that moment, Oh Baek-seo emerged from the pantry and answered in his place. She handed tea to both Min-hyuk and Ye-song.

"Oh, thank you." "Thanks. So, Baek-seo, does this mean we have to apply for visitation to see the President now?"

Baek-seo sat down gently on the sofa.

"I think so. I plan to apply as soon as visits are allowed." "Can’t we do it now?" "Only the Defense Department student handling the case can visit for now. He’s being held in a special management prison." "This is insane... The President didn’t do anything wrong..." "By the way, I have something to tell you." "Huh?"

For the first time since becoming an officer, Baek-seo’s expression was solemn.

Min-hyuk and Ye-song exchanged worried glances.

"What’s wrong, Baek-seo? You look really serious..." "Can you call Do-ha? There’s something I need to say." "Do-ha? Sure, but what do you need to say...?" "I think it’s time to reveal it. For the President’s sake, I have to say it now. It’s about me and the President."

Min-hyuk and Ye-song exchanged puzzled looks.

Ahseong High Underground Detention Center.

In the underground where Moon Chae-yeon was confined.

"I want pizza! Pizza! What if I die from stress here?!"

Chae-yeon was causing a commotion in a playful voice.

The Student Council members on guard duty scowled and gritted their teeth, doing their best to ignore her.

"Pizza, pizza! Special Shrimp Cheese Pizza! Garlic Steak Cheese Fondue Pizza! Basil Cheese Cube Pizza! Gorgonzola Pizza!"

As Chae-yeon listed off various pizzas, testing the patience of the Student Council members on duty.

Bzzzzz.

The door beyond the barrier opened, and a student appeared.

"Huh?"

Chae-yeon stopped her antics and looked at the newcomer. Her eyes soon widened in surprise.

The visitor was none other than Oh Baek-seo.
