I Became the Leader of Academy City - I Became the Leader of Academy City chapter 86

86 – Discipline 27. The Leader Does Not Let Down His Guard (6)

Son Ye-seo.

Although it was a character that did not intervene in the main scenario of the original work.

Perhaps because she wore a nun’s uniform, players had no choice but to have her impression imprinted on their minds.

A character who does not have much importance in the event story.

In fact, she it’s like an extra.

However, just from the fact that she is a Sparto, we can infer that her strength is on the strong side even within Neo Seoul.

‘I didn’t know the headmaster’s subordinate would come.’

I immediately became alert.

The white paper was also managing its expression her her her her. However, there was a chilling air around her. It seemed like he knew who Son Ye-seo was.

I guess so.

The white paper was also Sparto and was under the head of the headmaster.

“It’s Spartoi. I came here as a representative of the Federal Council. “We’re spherical, right?”

“I saw it on New Yongsan Street.”

Spartoi does not have an official name to announce to the outside world. The idea is that no one except those in power in Academy City should be able to call them.

So she just calls herself Spartoy.

Of course, there are nicknames that are commonly used among them.

“Yes, that’s right~.”

Match! Yeseo clapped his hands and smiled broadly.

“I never thought we would meet again like this! “Is this also guidance from the Lord?”

“Maybe so. Please sit down first. “You must have worked hard to come this far.”

“Then thank you.”

Yeseo sat with her group, and I sat across from them. White Paper brought tea.

The air flowing in the drawing room was heavy, but Ye-seo just smiled kindly.

From noble mtl dot nete

On the outside, he seems clueless.

However, it may not be that he actually has no sense.

Originally, this kind of place was a place for ‘Who is better at pretending not to know what they know openly?’

“I want to spend time having fun and talking as long as possible… “I don’t have time, and you are probably busy as well, so can we get straight to the point?”

“Yes, it’s okay.”

“Yes. Then, I will convey the will of the Federal Council.”

After Ye-seo took out a document from her bag, she let out a ‘hmm’ and began to read the contents of the document.

Clearly, with an elegant tone.

“‘Our Federation Council has decided to apprehend the six criminals, the Technomancers, and pay appropriate compensation to all of you who participated in the battle, in recognition of your contribution to maintaining order in Neo Seoul. This is a conclusion that takes into account the decision of the disciplinary committee of Senior Manager Ahn Woo-jin.’”

It’s a reward.

That’s good.

And.

‘Disciplinary Committee…’

The disciplinary committee’s bribery charges are still being investigated by Hanyang Federal Academy.

I don’t know the specific process of who approached the disciplinary committee members and how they bribed them.

Actually, I don’t think you need to know. Since the principal would be behind it, it was obvious that no matter how serious the situation was, the investigation would fizzle out.

Only those disciplinary committee members who committed violations will be subject to criminal punishment, without being able to uncover the background.

“The ‘Platinum Mileage Payment Restriction Regulations’ were enacted to prevent inflation, but if more than two-thirds of the Federal Board of Directors agree, the number of recipients of payments may be increased or the timing of mileage payment may be adjusted as an exception. Accordingly, platinum mileage will be paid to all Aseong High School leaders who arrested the technomancer within a week.’”

The smiling faces of Park Min-hyuk and Ha Yesong, which we will see later, were pleasing to the eye.

“Ah, except for ‘outsiders’, everyone else who joined the fight is an exception. Because they are not leaders. However, they will be paid a generous amount of gold mileage.’”

It seemed that compensation was also being paid to the Isiana Service Department. Everyone will cheer.

However, so far, only sweet content.

Even if we were given a large reward, Oh Baek-seo and I couldn’t like it.

Because the main idea comes last.

“‘Step… As two people were arrested for six criminals, our Federal Board of Directors judged that it would be difficult for one academy to handle all of them, and the seriousness of the case was also very great. However, our federal board therefore complies with the law and respects the autonomy of each academy.’”

Yeseo looked into my eyes with wide eyes.

“‘We request that Spartoi, under the Federation Council, cooperate with the case’… “You say?”

“…”

No matter how hard I tried to maintain a poker face, I couldn’t stop my expression from gradually hardening.

Involving Spartoy was tantamount to taking the lead in the investigation.

In order to maintain order in Academy City, the autonomy of each academy must be respected.

But the opponent is the Federal Council.

The highest level of power in Neo Seoul.

It is a group that reigns over Hanyang Federal Academy, the central academy.

If you opposed the will of the Federal Council, you had to be prepared to be overlooked by them in the future.

What academy would dare to be in such a shitty situation?

What academy would dare to defy the Federal Council?

‘It’s actually an ‘order’ disguised as a ‘request’. But.’

There was no need to worry.

“I refuse.”

“Oh?”

Yeseo’s eyebrows twitched. Looking at the expression, the reaction was that it was interesting.

The Federal Council itself is probably not the enemy. It was reasonable and not unnatural to express concern over the fact that two of each of the six criminals who were the bane of Neo Seoul were in charge.

The problem is that the headmaster’s subordinates are mixed among the Spartoy.

This guy in front of you is also a subordinate of the headmaster and came here as a representative of the Federal Board of Directors.

Therefore, accepting the Federal Board’s intervention in the investigation of the case was the same as building a bridge for the headmaster.

In that case, there would be no surprise even if evidence was destroyed, key witnesses were eliminated, or the case was covered up in any way.

“This is our leadership’s job. “Strictly speaking, the Federal Council is not even our upper echelon, is it?”

The Federal Board of Directors is the city’s power group, but officially it is only a group affiliated with Hanyang Federal Academy and has no particular authority over Asong High School.

Of course it would be easy to put pressure on us, but that was not the topic here.

“Are you serious? At least a meeting with the student council…”

“The right to investigate lies with me, the head of the lead department. There is no need for a meeting. Even if our student council decides to follow the will of the Federal Board of Directors, the leadership has no intention of following it in the slightest.”

It seemed like a cool breeze was flowing.

If it had been a normal negotiation or conversation, it would not have been this aggressive.

He probably sent the other person away, saying he would contact them after a meeting with the student council. And he must have taken time to think about how to reject the Federal Council’s request. Shouldn’t we at least ‘pretend to think carefully’ as a courtesy?

But my answer right now wasn’t reasonable at all and was stuck.

I know too.

That’s how determined I was.

“Hmm.”

Yeseo also seemed taken aback by my decisiveness. Soon, she calmed down her expression and shrugged one shoulder, showing her composition.

“It might be crazy because I’m just an agent, but don’t you know what might happen if you do that?”

“What do you mean ‘what happened’?”

“What do you think?”

Yeseo covered her mouth with the visor of her hand and presented her head to me. I also stuck my head out and heard her small whisper.

“It’s a disadvantage.”

“…”

“There, it’s a tight-knit group of old people. I have very strong pride. “You probably don’t like this?”

Is it a warning?

“It doesn’t matter.”

“Is that so…”

We leaned back in our chairs again.

“If you are that firm, I will understand.”

Even as Yeseo said that, she seemed to sense my thoughts. Because she didn’t seem to have any doubts.

After we rescued her her her her White Paper her her her, she would have suspected the possibility that we might have heard her her her her secret her her her about her her Headmaster her her her . Assuming that, deducing what I would have been thinking is a piece of cake.

Perhaps the reason the headmaster sent the courtesy letter here was to actually check my reaction and receive a report.

“It’s unfortunate. Well then, I think the conversation is over.”

“Yes.”

“Oh, the compensation will be paid normally, so don’t worry. That’s completely separate.”

Ye-seo smiled happily and sipped her tea.

“Tea, it’s delicious.”

“Thank goodness.”

…

After Spartoy returned, something happened as expected.

─ Hey, Ahn Woo-jin.

“Yes, Chairman.”

I received a direct phone call from Baekhyun Han, the student council president of Asung High School. I immediately turned on the speakerphone.

─ I got a call from the Federal Council. What does this mean? You refused to cooperate and sent me away right away?

I guess I received the story from Spartoy.

I understood it as ‘intervention’, but it seemed like he was talking to the chairman as ‘cooperation’.

“It’s literally true. “I have the right to investigate, so I refused on my own.”

─ Hey!!

When Baekhyun shouted loudly, he lifted his head from the phone.

‘Ah, your voice is so loud.’

It was a voice loud enough to resonate in the executive office of the leadership department. My ears were tingling.

The leading executives around me looked at me quietly.

─ You didn’t even discuss such an important matter with me… ! Are you out of your mind!?

“Because the Chairman’s wishes were irrelevant.”

─ Yes! Good job! It’s good that you’re on the right track!

“… Yes?”

What is it?

Did I just hear wrong?

I think I heard something that doesn’t fit the context of the conversation?

After listening to student council president Baekhyun’s grumblings one after another, I realized that I had not heard wrong.

─ How dare you try to interfere in our affairs? Ha, indeed! These b*stards are trying to put a spoon on the finished rice! Even the Federal Council cannot tolerate it!

“?”

─ That kind of thing, huh!? You have to refuse very firmly so that the other person doesn’t try to persuade you in the same way again. You completed the first step very well! If the Federal Council starts to use other means here, it means there is some shady purpose.

“President? No, senior… ?”

─Ahn Woo-jin, you. Keep this in mind. This case is handled by the Asong High School leadership team. That’s what I mean. Do you understand?

Why… ?

‘Of course I thought I would get scolded?’

When rejecting the request of the Federal Board of Directors, I was prepared to face a situation where I would have to fight with the student council president in the future.

No matter how well Baekhyun was the student president who took care of his people, he was a person who valued his achievements, his enough to hold an exchange meeting with the Mahyeon High School leader, who had built a grudge relationship with the Asung High school leader.

This means that he is the person who will shudder more than anyone else if he has a conflict with the Federal Council.

So, I was just embarrassed.

“If you say so… But, is it okay?”

I was rather worried because they took my side too much.

─ Anyway, I take on the external pressure before you.

Yes.

I thought you would get scolded for that.

─ I will handle it as best as I can, so you handle the case of the six criminals properly.

“… Did you eat something wrong? Or are you suffering from some kind of illness?”

─ Even if I treat you well, they say something.

“Why are you doing this? A person who didn’t do that.”

─ What could it be? Because I think that’s right. Well then.

Drop.

The phone was hung up after an incomprehensible answer.

I was dazed for a moment due to the unexpected reaction of the student council president.

Then the white paper came and asked.

“President… “Where are you hurt?”

Seeing that Baekhyun started asking why Baekhyun was in such a state rather than saying, ‘I’m glad,’ it seemed like Baekseo had the same doubts as me.

“I don’t know…”

Chairman Lee…

What’s going on?

* * *

Aseong High School Student Council President’s Office.

Student council president Baekhyun Han was sighing and looking through documents. However, cold sweat was forming on his forehead.

“Damn… , I must be doing well… ?”

My body was shaking with anxiety.

“Yes, this is correct… Is the Federal Council a big deal? . “They’re all the same.”

He keeps talking to himself and trying to calm his heart.

Contents of the report submitted by the Seondobu after arresting the six criminals.

Someone who has access to the security of the disciplinary committee and is willing to take Ahn Woo-jin down from his position as head of the department, even bribing the committee members.

The mystery hidden in the case of the six criminals.

Information secretly shared by the student council president of Mahyeon High School that the higher-ups seem to be targeting Ahn Woo-jin.

If there is such a clear flow, no matter how foolish one is, one cannot fail to infer that there is collusion between the case of the six criminals and the vested interests.

And as the student council president of a major academy, he is no match for the upper class.

‘There is a huge secret hidden in this city that cannot be tolerated, and now Ahn Woo-jin is touching it.’

Because of that reasoning, Baekhyun had to be in serious trouble.

It reminds me of.

A while ago, someone from the Federal Board of Directors gave Baekhyun a direct phone call. The story is that Ahn Woo-jin refused the request to cooperate with the case.

The meaning hidden in those words was easy to notice.

‘You can put pressure on yourself and sort out the situation.’

‘I am as long as a bug…’

It is right to crawl in front of the Federal Council for your future.

It is right to carry out the will of the Federal Council by scolding and pressing Ahn Woo-jin, who is on his side.

However, that is not a reason to tolerate injustice.

After thinking about it, Baekhyun made a decision.

The more important value to me was protecting Neo Seoul.

Damn it, Neo Seoul, which had been manipulated by someone, was not the home of life he had hoped for. If that happens, the meaning of the hard work I achieved as student council president disappears.

And the leader of Aseong High School, the leader of Mahyeon High School, and the student council president were already determined to fight against the secrets of this city.

No, we are already fighting.

But is Asung High School’s student council president going to stay still?

‘I block everything I can block.’

At least in the case of the Six Sinners, Baekhyun would protect Ahn Woo-jin like a shield or a wall from all kinds of external pressure. So that Ahn Woo-jin can focus on the case.

The only person in a position to do that was myself.

In any case, Ahn Woo-jin’s ability as the leader of the leading department is undisputedly outstanding. He is sturdy and has a tenacity that most people cannot match. He was worth a walk to a junior like that.

Ringing.

Suddenly the phone range.

Baekhyun answered the phone.

─ Chairman, I received a call from Hanyang. It seems like they are trying to talk about the issue of the Federal Council… Should I make a phone call?

The secretary on the other end of the phone also noticed what was going on and her voice was shaking.

Baekhyun closed his eyes tightly. His brow his furrowed.

“Ha…”

A deep sigh filled the air.

It was easily expected.

Gradually, external pressure would come from all sorts of places that would make you feel pressured just by hearing its name.

Of course, Baekhyun felt afraid.

The burden of fighting for the city was very great for Baekhyun, who lived only looking at performance.

I don’t know what kind of ending this choice will bring.

However, I had no intention of easily reversing the decision I had already made.

Because I believe this choice is the right one.

Widely! Baekhyun nervously took off his school uniform tie and threw it carelessly on his desk.

“Turn the phone around.”

Now it was just a fight.
