I Became the Student Council President of Academy City

Chapter 0

‘I’ve been reincarnated.’

When I grew enough to discern right from wrong in the arms of a nurturing robot, I realized that I had been reincarnated into the open-world game set in Academy City, which I had enjoyed for a long time. After enduring confusion for quite a while, I eventually accepted reality and adjusted my thinking.

‘Since I’ve been given a second life... I should live happily.’

That was the conclusion I reached after years of contemplation. It was a very simple conclusion, but the process of reaching it was exceedingly long.

‘To do that, I need to fulfill three conditions.’

For me to enjoy a happy life in this world.

‘First, get a decent job.’

The prerequisite was good grades and an impressive school record.

‘Second, eliminate the villains.’

I didn’t have to worry about the villains from the original storyline. They could be left to the main character of the original story. The problem was the event villains who acted independently of the original storyline and threatened Academy City.

Villains are entities that destroy the order of Academy City or the city itself. What happened when event villains were left unchecked in the game? They grew into an uncontrollable force and became Great Villains in Academy City.

The world outside Academy City is an apocalyptic one teeming with monsters. This is the only place where I can live peacefully. Therefore, I couldn’t just leave the villains alone.

‘Third, marry my childhood friend.’

My childhood friend was the first beautiful girl in this world to become my ally. With her looks guaranteed to become stunning in the future and her sharp intellect, I resolved to become a man worthy of her.

‘Great, perfect.’

That day, I felt astonishingly peaceful. I became convinced that I could eliminate one of the three conditions for a happy life.

It seemed impossible to keep the fresh flowers for long. Eventually, I pressed them flat and carried them around as a talisman.

Time flew by, and I became a second-year high school student. On a spring day when the chill had eased, I donned a black uniform and wore a red armband symbolizing the disciplinary committee on my left arm. Standing in front of the orderly students, I walked to the podium, slightly bowed my head, and adjusted my cap.

Beep.

When I touched the microphone, a feedback noise echoed. Drawing the attention of the disciplinary committee members to me, I spoke into the microphone.

“Greetings. I am Ahn Woo-jin, a second-year student, and the 45th disciplinary committee leader.”

It was the appointment ceremony for the new leader of the disciplinary committee. It was now time for the next leader to present their aspirations. The red armband with a golden border on my left arm was the symbol of the disciplinary committee leader, which I inherited from the previous leader today.

With a tone of respect and solemnity, I said,

“I won’t speak for long. All disturbances and illegal activities occurring within our jurisdiction, both inside and outside the school, will face the strictest sanctions and punishments ever. There will be no compromise. As the disciplinary committee leader, I promise to contribute more than ever to maintaining peace in the school.”

The disciplinary committee, the top in-school force, would eliminate villains ‘officially’ under my command. Since the committee’s activities also covered the surrounding areas outside the school, my school record would shine as a result.

I had seized the opportunity for the two conditions set for a happy life to synergize and be fulfilled.

Of course, this meant I would likely confront my childhood friend, Kim Dalbi. But I had already made up my mind. If left alone, she would become the worst villain, like a cancer, in Academy City.

I had to stop her.

“For the school, for the students, please fight alongside me. Thank you.”

As I bowed politely, hundreds of disciplinary committee members applauded. Today, I became the leader of Academy City’s disciplinary committee.
