I Became the Student Council President of Academy City-Chapter 116

To abuse power.

Gradually transferring the obscure parts of Neo Seoul, including the Black Market, and the troops the principal had secretly secured, to Se-ah and her organization, Dohwa.

Ultimately, to grant Se-ah the actual power to fully dominate Neo Seoul itself.

It didn’t matter how Se-ah was saved under any sender name.

The principal, who was suffering from dementia, had merely saved the sender name as ‘1215’ so that he could always remember her birthday, intending to give Se-ah something every year.

And the birthday gifts that Se-ah would receive every year were gradually materials to swallow up Neo Seoul.

The reason.

What was the reason?

Woo-jin found that reason in the original work’s knowledge.

In the original, all members of Se-ah and Dohwa’s organization died, and the organization itself was obliterated. After that, the principal committed suicide. It was an undeniable, clear suicide.

Presumably, the culprit was Obaekseo, who should have gone missing this semester.

Obaekseo, who had been investigating the principal closely, finally noticed the principal and Se-ah's plans and realized that the core of that plan was Se-ah and the Dohwa organization.

Therefore, he secretly assassinated everyone.

The principal, shocked by losing Se-ah, committed suicide.

In other words, the principal's driving force was probably.

‘Love.’

That precious emotion.

‘Was the principal loving Se-ah as his daughter?’

The principal lost his reason for living because of Obaekseo.

Just as the Six Sinners found and cherished their reasons for living.

Similarly, the principal had decided his reason for living as his daughter.

Because he loved her.

Because he loved his daughter so much.

Therefore, Se-ah used the principal’s maternal love.

She needed the principal.

By placing this city under her control, to create a so-called ‘better world.’

Kiiing.

Suddenly, the principal’s office door opened, and a beautiful female student with long black hair entered.

She was dressed in the school uniform of Aseong High School, the same school as Woo-jin.

Her slender eyes shone with ruby-like red pupils, and her mouth curled up into a fox-like smile.

“So, I told you before. I want to create a better world.”

She, Se-ah, looked at Woo-jin and spoke.

Woo-jin lowered the smartphone from his ear and looked at Se-ah with eyes mixed with shock and coldness.

The principal was startled.

“My… daughter….” “Wow~. You've been through a rough time, mother?” “Don't come here…. You're not ready yet….”

Se-ah turned to the principal and, with a mischievous smile, pressed her index finger to her lips.

“Mother, could you please shut up?”

The principal swallowed a sigh and stopped speaking.

Se-ah smiled brightly and looked at Woo-jin again.

Woo-jin was certain.

Se-ah intended to become a necessary evil herself, to dominate Neo Seoul and move towards a utopia where everyone is happy.

She was altruistic, hoping that even a little more people's unhappiness would disappear.

Therefore, for the ideal world she desired, she turned her back on all the sacrifices the principal had made.

Suddenly, Woo-jin involuntarily thought of Goliath.

He had said he would watch what was right, but did he know this truth?

Enough.

There was no point in thinking about such things.

The important thing was his own choice.

Could he truly tolerate Se-ah?

Se-ah’s smile slightly faded.

“Senior, I’m trying to make the world happier for at least one more person. Please help me.” “…….”

Woo-jin narrowed his eyes and glared at Se-ah.

“Why?” “Because I believe it’s the right thing to do. Do I need some tremendous motivation?”

This girl’s words were sincere.

But, for the sake of a happy future world, could he dismiss the current sacrifices as 'opportunity costs' that are unavoidable?

Woo-jin remembered seeing Baekseo dying, Dalbi confessing she liked him and collapsing.

Like them, many children were painfully sacrificed to train the strong.

What meaning does a future utopia have for children who couldn’t be allowed happiness and were ruined?

The fundamentally wrong process was now irrecoverable.

Thus, the result reached could not be considered beautiful.

What was broken was broken.

It needed to be replaced with something new.

“Really…. The world’s affairs turn out to be so harsh….”

Woo-jin lamented with a sigh mixed in his voice.

Se-ah’s smile faded.

“It might seem like an abrupt confession…, but I was happy to have you as my senior. Honestly, I liked you. I knew you genuinely wanted to help people. Even if you seem like a sly fox, I thought you were a good person anyway.” “I’d prefer you not to say that now. Before you regret it.” “But!!”

Woo-jin yelled, cutting off Se-ah’s words.

“What are you?” “…….” “What are you affirming, and what illusions are you harboring? Do you know what you’ve trampled on?”

Crack!

When Woo-jin tightly gripped his Cheolryong-gon, turquoise electricity surged above the iron bar.

“I can’t... understand you guys at all.”

Woo-jin made a firm resolution.

To finish off the principal and Se-ah right here.

“Yes. Is that so, is that so….”

Se-ah bowed her head and held a bitter smile.

“Because I can’t understand, you’re rejecting me. Then there’s nothing I can do. It’s a pity….”

Se-ah raised her head again and stared at Woo-jin with blood-red eyes.

“Thank you for everything, senior.”

Se-ah smiled widely, and mysterious red magic surged from her.

That magic unfolded in the form of many young children’s torsos gathered densely, waving their arms.

Woo-jin’s eyes widened. That grotesque magic exuded a chill he had never felt before.

‘Why does it feel like not just one person, but the magic of many people is felt at once…?’

Why does the life force of many children seem to emanate from Se-ah’s magic?

Suddenly, the many children who couldn’t endure the principal’s atrocities during the golden time and were disposed of came to mind.

Children who ultimately couldn’t become the principal’s dogs.

Pitiful children who were born, tasted only hell, and were ruined.

He recalled the fact that they were piled up like mountains, intact, deep underground.

“That magic…, it’s not yours.” “You’re perceptive.”

A murderous intent filled Woo-jin’s eyes.

“The disposed children piled up underground…. What the principal did with them?” “Well. I don’t know the details. I only know it was related to the principal’s unique abilities.” “How can you use such disgusting things so casually?” “I don’t feel at ease about it, senior. I was forcibly given it when I was young. Now, well, I’ve accepted it.” “That’s not your power.” “Well. I wonder what it is.”

The disposed children were also geniuses whose innate magic was classified as A+.

What kind of power was created by gathering all of them?

How did they even create such power in the first place?

However, recalling Se-ah’s amazing unique ability to resurrect children who died in the first semester, it was undoubtedly an extraordinary power.

Creak.

A very small crack opened in Woo-jin’s ear.

─ Kid.

It was Geumyang’s voice.

Woo-jin looked at Se-ah and listened to Geumyang’s voice.

─ It might sound strange, but that power shouldn’t exist. “?” ─ That is a power that should not be actualized in this world. Even if my body were here, I’m sure it would have judged the same as I did.

If it was Geumyang’s body, then a 9-tier creature, Hwanggeumyang.

It meant a being that had reached the realm of gods.

There was a slight tremble in Geumyang’s voice.

─ Run away. That power is not something that can be judged by the world's laws or discussed in terms of superiority. It’s in the realm of the extraordinary for humans…! “What, I don’t know what’s what, but that seems difficult. I can feel something.” ─ Feel it? What are you talking about?

Despite Geumyang’s dissuasion, Woo-jin approached Se-ah.

Because he was convinced that he shouldn’t run away here.

‘I might have been reincarnated into this world because of that power…. I have that feeling.’

It was a cry of instinct.

A sensation as if engraved on his soul.

It was something he could only feel as a reincarnated person in this world.

As Woo-jin began to approach, Se-ah showed a regretful expression. Then, she controlled her emotions and gave Woo-jin a warm smile.

“I truly liked you, senior.” “Me too. My liking you was genuine, without a doubt.” “Yes. It’s a pity.”

The two felt that there was no need to continue the conversation.

Woo-jin raised his magic to be able to evade enemy attacks with spatial leaps at any time, and held his Cheolryong-gon tightly.

He fired.

Swoosh!

In an instant, a chilling light flashed in Se-ah’s red eyes as she watched Woo-jin.

“……!”

Suddenly, Woo-jin’s vision was filled with red.

One after another, Woo-jin felt his mind drifting away from his body.

Thud.

He collapsed on the floor.

Before he could even question what had happened.

“Farewell.”

With Se-ah’s whisper, Woo-jin's breath ceased.
