I Became the Student Council President of Academy City-Chapter 120

The Principal furrowed his brows fiercely when he recognized the familiar face of the student.

“Moon Chae-yeon… Why are you here…?” “The head of the discipline committee from Ahseong High swept away all the dangerous people here, didn’t he? So I came in comfortably~.”

The girl blocking the exit, Moon Chae-yeon, chuckled with a mischievous smile.

“But wow…! Principal, what’s with this sorry state!? You really got beaten up, didn’t you? In the end, even you ended up like this! Oh wow, our master must be thrilled! Ah~, Ahn Woo-jin is growing on me more and more!”

“Moon Chae-yeon….”

“This is the underground escape route, right? Geez, I was really impressed by how deep it was down here. If Ahn Woo-jin sucked you in all the way down here, that would’ve been a total disaster, huh?”

“…Step aside.”

“Oh, don’t you get it? Can’t you see the wall blocking the way behind me?”

“You… you’re just trash that was discarded like a worthless piece…!”

Kagakakakak!

Suddenly, all of the Dohwa faction members except for Lee Jung-mi began to swell.

Red magical armor appeared, enveloping their bodies.

They glared at Chae-yeon with feral eyes, growling like beasts.

“Please stay calm, Principal. We will protect you.”

Jung-mi stepped forward and spoke.

“Moon Chae-yeon, if you don’t move, we will kill you.”

“So… you weren’t ordinary humans after all. And that magic isn’t even yours, is it?”

Chae-yeon sneered.

“The ones fighting outside were completely controlled by that black-haired girl, right? They became strong but turned into mere puppets. You’re not quite at that level, huh? That means you’re weak, aren’t you?”

“Even so, you cannot defeat us.”

“Yeah, yeah. No more words needed then. So….”

Swish.

As Chae-yeon swept her hand in front of her face, a protector covered her eyes.

Magic surged around her, forming mechanical armor around her body, and in one hand, a mechanical spear appeared.

“Let’s have some fun.”

Chae-yeon’s constantly smiling face twisted.

“I’ve been waiting for this moment for so long.”

She recalled the time she nearly died at Woo-jin’s hands and the burning desire that had consumed her ever since.

─ ‘You want revenge, don’t you?’

Just as Woo-jin had said.

The desire to brutally kill the Principal.

That unspoken wish was what had kept her going.

‘How pathetic… my life is truly worthless.’

Chae-yeon let out a self-mocking laugh.

Unconsciously, Woo-jin’s face flashed through her mind.

She didn’t like him, maybe even hated him.

But he was the strange man who made her heart flutter.

Now, she fully understood why Kim Dal-bi and Oh Baek-seo had fallen for Woo-jin so hard.

Maybe if she had loved someone, her dirty, miserable life could have been a little more beautiful.

‘What am I even thinking?’

She brushed aside the foolish thoughts and reminded herself of why she was here.

The Principal could not be allowed to pass.

The Principal’s destination was where Woo-jin was.

‘Hey, Ahn Woo-jin. I won’t let the Principal pass, so you can relax.’

Chae-yeon decided to stake her life and her desire on Woo-jin.

“Moon Chae-yeon!!!”

The Principal, his face flushed with anger, screamed.

“Hehe!”

Chae-yeon laughed brightly as she charged toward the Dohwa faction members.

Meanwhile, in the Reversed World.

“Hah… Hah….”

Geumyang and the Golden Sheep of Gravity stood before the massive human tree that fueled Se-ah’s power.

“That thing’s damn sturdy!”

Geumyang cursed in frustration.

No matter how much power they used, the massive tree wouldn’t budge.

Only the human-like shapes forming the tree’s trunk could be harmed, which only added to their frustration.

[There must be a core somewhere. Something that sustains this tree.]

“Don’t you think I know that? But I can’t figure out where it is…!”

Monstrous creatures began to interfere with Geumyang and the Golden Sheep of Gravity.

But with a single gesture from the Golden Sheep, gravity pressed down, smashing the creatures into the ground.

As the gravity intensified, the ground warped, and the creatures were pulverized into pieces.

“There’s no time. We have to do something…!”

At that moment.

Step. Step.

A figure in a hooded robe began to approach.

Geumyang and the Golden Sheep were shocked to see an intact human figure coming closer.

“You…?”

The girl wearing a shattered skull mask.

Geumyang recognized her.

It was the one Woo-jin had defeated in the first semester.

“I greet the avatars of the Golden Sheep.”

It was Han Seo-jin, the Hexagons’ sinner.

She bowed respectfully to the two avatars.

[Who is this?] “She’s the one my servant defeated last time.”

Seo-jin’s face was as expressionless as ever.

“You. How did you come here?” “I learned the art of necromancy. My ability lends itself to such things.”

Seo-jin looked up at the massive human tree.

“After I was defeated by Director Woo-jin, I became a spirit. And I came to understand the truth of this world. I also learned that Director Woo-jin bears the mark of the Golden Sheep. Well…, I did meet the Golden Sheep while we fought.”

“…….”

“So now I know that Director Woo-jin came from another world. Maybe everything that happened to me was predetermined.”

Seo-jin stepped forward, facing the human tree.

“What are you planning?” “Ever since I learned the truth, I’ve been investigating this tree.”

“…Is that why you were gone for so long?” “Yes.”

Seo-jin stopped and pointed to the human tree, glancing at Geumyang.

“I know the way to reach the core of this tree.”

“What…?”

Geumyang’s eyes widened.

“I discovered a path to the core during my investigations. I’ve worked quite hard on this, you know.”

“Why? What’s your reason for doing this…?” “Well, just…”

Seo-jin looked at the tree again.

“After fighting with Director Woo-jin, I realized something. I just wanted to live. So I found a reason to keep living. It had become seeing the ocean. But I knew long ago that there was no longer a beautiful blue ocean. I just needed a reason to keep going.”

“And now you don’t want to live anymore?” “I’m not sure. But some of the people in this tree… I know their faces. At least I had a reason to live. But these people, they died without even that.”

Seo-jin spoke in a flat, emotionless tone.

“I’ve finally accepted that my reason for living will never come true. And then, I saw something new. It was these people. I realized I could help them. And for the first time, my life felt like it had purpose.”

Seo-jin’s body began to dissolve into a dark purple mist, starting from her feet.

“Life is so tragically fleeting.”

Seo-jin turned her head to look at Geumyang, a faint smile forming on her usually emotionless face.

“Tell Director Woo-jin for me. I was really grateful that he called me awesome. Thanks for giving me good memories to carry with me.”

Seo-jin turned back to the human tree.

“I’ll atone for my sins this way.”

Swish.

Finally, Seo-jin’s body completely transformed into a serene, dark purple energy and took the shape of a graceful deer, racing through the air.

The magical deer shot toward the human tree, disappearing into its depths.

Boom!

Moments later, the spot where Seo-jin’s energy penetrated exploded, creating a path.

“You fool… Was that your choice…?”

Geumyang clicked his tongue in pity.

There was no time to just stand and watch.

The magical path Seo-jin had carved was already beginning to fade, unable to withstand the overwhelming pressure within the tree.

“…Let’s go.” [Indeed.]

Geumyang used spatial teleportation, and the Golden Sheep of Gravity floated up, entering the path Seo-jin had created.

They moved swiftly down the magical passage.

Meanwhile, in a dark alley somewhere in Neo Seoul.

Seo-jin’s physical body sat slumped against a wall, her eyes gently closed. Her body, starting from her feet, slowly dissolved into dark purple energy, turning into glowing dust.

It was the last of her magical power.

Like a child dreaming a peaceful dream, the corners of her mouth lifted into a slight smile.

Gradually, her head drooped, and her hair slid down in a soft cascade.

Eventually, the last of her magical energy consumed her, scattering her into the wind.

Like petals.
