I Became the Student Council President of Academy City-Chapter 128

The facts were clear, and the entire population of Neo Seoul had risen in support of Woo-jin.

Though there was some criticism of Woo-jin for the destruction he had caused, most citizens argued that much of the damage had targeted the defense mechanisms set up by the late Headmaster, thus mitigating the legal severity of his actions.

Naturally, the student prosecutor did not appeal the ruling, and the case reached its final conclusion.

─ This is Park Dae-gi from Cheong-un High School. I’m currently at the Center Area, where cleanup efforts are underway. The remnants of the late Headmaster Lee Doo-hee’s regime are being removed, and plans are in place to reconstruct the area to make it safer...

─ Citizens’ anger toward the late Headmaster Lee Doo-hee escalated after the discovery of numerous children's bodies in the underground lair of techno-mancer Moon Chae-yeon, one of the Six Criminals. To honor the children who were unjustly sacrificed, a memorial is being established...

─ The factory-born children’s socialization programs, which have long been criticized for human rights violations, were continually defended by the late Headmaster Lee. These programs are now being dismantled, and more humane methods are being implemented for socialization processes...

─ In other news, an unprecedented suspended sentence has been granted to Kim Dal-bi, the Goblin, one of the Six Criminals. It was proven that she was forced into committing acts of terrorism due to the Headmaster’s threats, and despite this, she managed to avoid any loss of life. As a result, her resistance was recognized as the most humane possible. Her school, Aseong High, has decided not to expel her but to impose special educational requirements and community service...

The aftermath of the Academy Great War continued to dominate the news.

In response to the public’s demands, special agencies were established to monitor the Federal Council and the Hanyang Federal Academy's Student Council, weakening the absolute power of the Federal Council.

The fact that the Federal Council had hidden during the conflict out of fear of Woo-jin led to public backlash, further eroding their authority.

The position of Headmaster remained vacant, with a member of the Federal Council temporarily assuming the responsibilities. Elections for a new Headmaster were expected to be held soon.

“W-what?! Hanyang sent me a love call?!”

At Mahyeon High’s Disciplinary Committee, Chairman Lee Je-ho trembled as he read the official letter delivered by Vice-Chairman Shin Ga-yeon.

“Hrm, hrm!” Je-ho cleared his throat awkwardly.

The Student Council President had positively evaluated Je-ho's role in the Academy Great War and was trying to recruit him.

It was an opportunity to become a super-elite.

“You must be thrilled, Chairman. If you can join Hanyang, you’ll be more than a super-elite—a hyper-elite.”

“….”

Je-ho glanced at Ga-yeon. Her expression was calm, almost unnervingly so.

“Um, Vice-Chairman….”

“If you refuse because of me, I won’t let it go.”

“You won’t let it go? How?”

“I’ll get angry.”

Je-ho swallowed dryly, then adjusted his glasses with a cough.

“Hah….”

Je-ho leaned back in his chair.

Then, he tore the recruitment letter in half.

Ga-yeon gasped in shock.

“Chairman…!” “Do you think I’d go there? I don’t care about being a super-elite or a hyper-elite.” “…You’ve always talked about becoming an elite. Are you really not going because of me? I told you I’d be upset.” “It’s not because of you. It’s because the President is still here...!” “Siscon!”

Smack!

“Ugh!”

Ga-yeon punched Je-ho in the face.

“At least pretend it’s because of me! Do you know how much you’re hurting your girlfriend’s pride?!”

Smack! Smack!

“Y-you said you’d only get mad! What do you expect me to do?!” “You don’t understand a woman’s heart!”

As Ga-yeon hit him repeatedly, Je-ho couldn’t help but laugh. Ga-yeon was just too cute.

“Haha…!”

Seeing his smile, Ga-yeon shivered.

“Chairman, don’t tell me you’ve developed some kind of M tendencies…?” “No, absolutely not….”

Je-ho frowned, adamantly denying it.

Mahyeon High’s Disciplinary Committee had earned a massive mileage reward for their role in the Academy Great War, and Je-ho’s reputation continued to rise.

In another part of the city...

Kim Dal-bi leaned against her locker, staring intently at her smartphone, deep in thought.

Passing students glanced at her nervously.

“It’s the Goblin.” “What’s she up to?” “Looks suspicious….” “She’s scary. Is she plotting something?”

The students whispered quietly, but Dal-bi didn’t notice, too absorbed in her phone to care.

Now known to the world as one of the Six Criminals, Dal-bi had returned to Aseong High under her real identity, Kim Dal-bi.

Her true self, with long, flowing pink hair, was no longer in hiding.

Naturally, most students were still wary of her.

But that wasn’t Dal-bi’s biggest concern right now.

[ Hey, the weather’s nice today ]

She wrote a message on CoconutTalk, then deleted it.

“No, too casual. I need to be more direct…”

[ Want to grab lunch with me today? ]

Deleted.

“That’s too sudden...”

[ Hey Woo-jin, it’s me, Kim Dal-bi. Wanna— ]

[ The weather makes me crave bibimbap, how about— ]

[ What do you like for lunch, by the way? ]

[ Wanna grab some bibimbap with me? ]

[ Ahn Woo-jin! Come out! Let’s have lunch together! ]

And so, she kept typing and deleting messages over and over.

“Ugh…”

Dal-bi groaned, resting her forehead against her locker. Passersby flinched at the sight.

Her phone screen still showed her latest message draft.

The recipient? Ahn Woo-jin.

Dal-bi just wanted to have lunch with him.

But…

‘What should I write to make it sound natural?!’

She had been debating the message for over 20 minutes.

‘This is so frustrating! We’re still a little awkward with each other….’

Dal-bi sighed deeply and stared at her phone again.

“…Huh?”

Her face went pale as she realized what had happened.

[ Kim Dal-bi: Ahn Woo-jin! Come out! Let’s have lunch together ]

The message had been sent by mistake.

Thud!

Dal-bi collapsed to the ground, clutching her head in despair.

‘Nooooo!’

Dal-bi was mentally screaming in anguish.

Students watched from a distance, fascinated by the rollercoaster of expressions on her face.

‘What do I do? What do I do?! Can I delete it…?!’

She frantically searched for a way to retract the message.

But just as she was about to try, the ‘1’ indicator next to the message disappeared.

Woo-jin had read it.

‘He read it….’

Dal-bi’s world crumbled around her.

Her face flushed, her eyes spun in circles, and she grabbed at her hair.

‘He’s going to think I’m weird! No, he already thinks that! Why did I send something so embarrassing?! Ugh, I screwed up so bad!’

And just as she was about to wallow in despair—

Buzz.

Her phone vibrated, and Dal-bi looked at the screen.

[ Ahn Woo-jin: What do you want to eat? ] [ Ahn Woo-jin: Oh ] [ Ahn Woo-jin: I’ve got a list of places I wanted to try ] [ Ahn Woo-jin: Wanna check them out? ] [ Ahn Woo-jin: There are a lot of spots I wanted to take you to ] [ Ahn Woo-jin: (scratching-head dog emoji) ]

“Wow…!”

Sparkling, teary-eyed, Dal-bi’s face broke into a radiant smile.

Six whole replies, one of them even with a cute emoji!

To Dal-bi, this was a dream come true!

“Hehehe~.”

She hugged her phone to her chest, beaming with joy.

The students passing by found her happiness… unsettling.

“What’s gotten into her…?” “She looks… kind of crazy.” “Well, she’s one of the Six Criminals, after all. Something’s gotta be off.” “Still, she’s really pretty.” “Yeah, super pretty…”

But none of their whispers reached Dal-bi’s ears.
