I Became the Student Council President of Academy City-Chapter 97

In other words…

'He’s recovered his magic!? How…!?'

There was no time to be shocked.

The Predator was shattered into pieces, and Hong-gyu's blood splattered everywhere. Just as Hong-gyu was about to scream, Woo-jin’s fist came crashing down.

BOOM!!

"Ugh!"

A massive shockwave struck, and the ground caved in under the pressure.

"Kyaaah!"

Hong-bin was swept off her feet by the shockwave, staggering as she tried to regain her balance.

Hong-gyu felt his consciousness slipping away.

"Didn’t you say this was boring?"

"W-wait…."

Woo-jin swung his fist again.

BOOM!!

"Argh!"

Hong-gyu’s face was smashed, his teeth and blood flying out.

"Is it fun now?"

"S-stop…!"

Woo-jin swung his fist once more.

BOOM!!

"Aaah…!"

Woo-jin continued to pummel Hong-gyu with relentless punches.

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

Each strike was powerful enough to crush the face of even the strongest fighters in Neo Seoul. Woo-jin's fists were covered in blood.

Hong-bin realized that just approaching Woo-jin would subject her to severe physical shock. The force of each punch was equivalent to a deadly weapon.

"Brother!"

Hong-bin summoned arrows infused with magic, surrounding herself with them.

The intensity of the magic was at its peak.

WHOOOSH!

As the glow of the magic increased, the area was filled with arrows.

Her unique ability, Hunter. Magic Formula Type 2: 'Focused Shot.'

Each magic arrow possessed incredible penetrating power. That was the strength of the Hunter.

'So he advanced to a higher rank at this moment…!'

Hong-bin immediately understood the situation.

Woo-jin’s rank had increased, breaking through the barriers that had previously blocked his magic circuits.

This phenomenon occurs each time one’s rank rises. Like a dam bursting after being filled to the brim, magic surged explosively.

Woo-jin had stepped into a new realm of power.

"Stop immediately!!"

Hong-bin screamed at the top of her lungs, aiming her crossbow at Woo-jin.

SWISH SWISH SWISH!!

The arrows fired.

The countless magic arrows converged on their target—Woo-jin.

Hong-bin, using her Hunter’s power, controlled the trajectory of the magic arrows. In other words, the barrage of arrows raining down like a storm was a guided attack, all aimed solely at Woo-jin.

But it was futile.

Woo-jin’s senses had become razor-sharp, allowing him to track each magic arrow. This was already beyond the realm of human capabilities.

CRACK!!

"!"

A series of fractures appeared in the air. Before the magic arrows could follow Hong-bin’s control and avoid the cracks, they were all swallowed up by the fractures.

Suddenly, the space around Hong-bin was covered in cracks, forming a curtain-like barrier. Woo-jin had gained the ability to manipulate even the form of these fractures.

"Bina!!"

Hong-gyu let out a desperate cry.

Hong-bin was so overwhelmed by the sheer pressure of the fractures that she didn’t even think to escape.

But escape was impossible.

She knew the fractures would follow her.

And then—

SWISH SWISH SWISH!!

"Aaaah!!!"

A blood-curdling scream tore through the air.

Woo-jin’s unique ability: Space Domination. Magic Formula Type 3: Inverted Space.

As the curtain of fractures dissipated, Hong-bin’s body, pierced by countless magic arrows, was revealed. Blood poured out like a waterfall.

With a thud, Hong-bin collapsed to the ground, the magic arrows dissolving into light as they vanished. The wounds on her body bled profusely, forming a pool of blood.

Hong-bin, her face disfigured, looked over at Hong-gyu.

"B-brother…." "Bina!! Bina!!"

With those final words, Hong-bin lost consciousness.

Hong-gyu, still clinging to consciousness, looked at his sister's horrifyingly mutilated body and gasped for air. His face twisted into an expression of pure rage.

"You… you…. Aaaagh!!!"

Grinding his teeth, Hong-gyu screamed, drawing upon every last bit of his magic.

Woo-jin stepped back, watching Hong-gyu. Soon, Hong-gyu’s entire body swelled and morphed into the form of a massive, multi-headed serpent, revealing its enormous jaws.

A grotesque creature.

The strongest weapon Hong-gyu possessed after the Heavenly Ritual Feast.

His unique ability, Shikshin. Magic Formula Type 5: 'Hydra.'

Hong-gyu hated taking this form.

It made him look like a monster.

But there was no other choice if he wanted to confront Woo-jin now.

In this form, he could endure even Woo-jin’s electric magic.

[An Woo-jin…!]

Hydra Hong-gyu’s voice was distorted.

[How dare you… How dare you hurt my sister!! You dare!!!] "'Your sister,' huh? How touching."

Woo-jin chuckled derisively, a rare expression for him.

"Well…, I figured it would come to this."

Woo-jin shrugged nonchalantly.

[You filthy bastard!!]

The many heads of the Hydra opened their jaws wide, drooling profusely.

The Predator’s traits included unbreakable toughness and the ability to devour anything.

Moreover, this place was Shikshin’s dining table, the Heavenly Ritual Feast.

With Shikshin’s magic still being supplied, the full force of the Hydra’s power would be too much for even a seventh-rank mage to handle.

But Woo-jin showed no interest, ignoring the Hydra as he glanced around.

"Now that I think about it, this city…."

He recalled Moon Chae-yeon’s testimony.

This place was where all the misfortune of Baek-seo and Kim Dal-bi began.

And for the other Six Sinners.

And for many other children who were 'discarded,' never seeing the light of day.

So, this place, the Zero Zone…

"This place… needs to be destroyed."

Woo-jin's eyes glowed with a mix of blue and purple light. He extended his arm and channeled the power of Space Domination.

Updat𝒆d fr𝒐m freewebnσvel.cøm.

He was certain.

In his current state, he could reverse even the sky and the earth.

RUMBLE!!

[……!]

The Hydra felt a chill of terror.

The ground shook.

Buildings trembled, and a deafening roar echoed.

A terrifying magic filled the area.

Something that should never happen was about to occur.

And then—

CRAAAAASH!!!

[What…!?]

It was as if the ground beneath them had hollowed out, and it began to collapse.

What emerged was a massive rift that had formed beneath the ground.

The enormous rift was consuming the earth.

Golden Ram had said that if one mastered the unique ability of Space Domination, they could even drop meteors from the universe.

To do so, one had to imagine an invisible hand that could pull matter into the rift.

At this moment, Woo-jin had instinctively grasped that principle, allowing him to drag even the earth into the rift.

[How is this possible!?]

Hong-gyu’s shocked voice erupted from the Hydra’s mouth.

The ground, except for the area around Woo-jin and the abandoned hospital, was being swallowed by the rift.

Buildings.

Structures.

Everything on the surface.

The Hydra, being a living creature, wasn’t affected by the rift and simply passed through it, but the result was that it was falling.

Its gaze wandered over the vast, dark abyss beneath it. Soon, it realized why the ground below had been so thoroughly excavated, and a chill ran down its spine.

Woo-jin hadn’t created just one rift.

He had simultaneously opened multiple enormous rifts beneath the ground, hollowing out the earth in advance.

Could this really be a magic formula that a human could achieve?

CRAAAASH!!!

The Zero Zone had become a vast and empty chasm.

Finally, the massive rift that had swallowed the ground vanished like a TV being turned off.

As the Hydra fell into the abyss, it looked up at the only source of light—the sky.

CRACK!!

Inside the barrier.

The sky split open, and a massive rift appeared, covering the entire view.

The rift, shimmering with a mix of blue and purple light, boasted an astronomical magic density.

RUMBLE!!!

Soon, the rift that had covered the inside of the barrier began to drop all the debris it had absorbed.

The ground came crashing down.

It was an overwhelming sight.

The Hydra—no, Hong-gyu—stared at the scene in disbelief, even as the debris rained down from the sky. He couldn’t fathom that what he was witnessing was reality.

The seventh rank.

A level where unique abilities enter the realm of catastrophic power.

In Neo Seoul, only Goliath and Spartan Seo Gang-jin had reached this level.

Only monsters among monsters could attain the seventh rank.

And with Woo-jin’s extraordinarily pure magic, he was capable of reaching even higher realms.

Hong-gyu had no chance of winning.

Gradually, the Hydra’s form began to unravel.

As the magic dispersed, Hong-gyu reverted to his human form. His face showed a mix of complex emotions.

Emptiness, helplessness, futility, and resignation.

All of these emotions intertwined.

The final destination was surrender.

'I can’t win against that…'

Hong-gyu decided to give up everything.

He released the Predator from his arm, reaching out to pull his sister Hong-bin, who was falling alongside him, into his embrace.

He looked at her with gentle eyes, holding her more dearly than anything in the world.

But Hong-bin didn’t move. She had already become a cold corpse.

All of the Six Sinners who became the Principal’s subordinates experienced the same fate in the Zero Zone.

Wrapped in powerful magic, they were subjected to forced, painful training day after day.

Those who couldn’t endure died, and those who survived were used by the Principal.

But Hong-gyu had found salvation.

The fact that his twin sister, Hong-bin, had barely survived was his salvation.

When he first met his sister, Hong-bin, he was overjoyed.

At least from the moment he was born, he had a reason to live.

RUMBLE!!!

Everything fell.

The Shikshin.

The soldiers of Gluttony.

The twin siblings.

Everything was buried beneath the remnants of the city falling from the sky.
