Academy Retirement Diary of the Student Council President

After Lee Seol-hwa left the house as if chased out, Yun Seong-ho's investigation continued for a while, claiming he was testing my abilities.

Well, I planned to kill him immediately if he tried to draw blood or restrain my body... but so far, he hadn't done anything like that, only conducting simple tests to see how much my abilities had improved.

"Hooh... Your Mana stat really has increased quite significantly. Indeed, it was worth the effort of implanting that S-Rank monster's eyeball back then."

"Is that so? Thank you."

Perhaps thinking I was still hypnotized, Yun Seong-ho began to boast openly about the things he had done to me.

Thanks to that, I was able to accurately record it on the recorder I had secretly brought.

‘Evidence from illegally obtained recordings isn't admissible... but if my voice is on it, it becomes proof.’

Anyway, for a private individual to possess this research facility... the level is far too high.

‘Isn't that a Mana measuring device you'd expect to see at the Hero Association? And I think this is the first time I've seen such a large augmented reality simulator.’

Yun Seong-ho's laboratory boasted a colossal height, appearing to be at least 4-5 stories tall, and an area wider than 4-5 soccer fields.

Inside the lab, though I wasn't sure where he got them from, the corpses of high-rank monsters were scattered about.

‘Young Lady, I've retrieved the Red Drake's reverse scale.’

'Young Lady, I too have retrieved the Nitrowyvern's vocal cords.'

'Good.'

Thanks to that, it was fortunate that I could easily procure the materials needed to make explosives by ordering the brainwashed guards... but still, it felt a bit unsettling.

‘Anyway, I need to increase the explosive range. It seems to be more than twice as large as I expected.’

To achieve a perfect crime, Yun Seong-ho and all the researchers must be gathered in one place within the blast radius, and die instantly upon the bomb's detonation.

‘I initially planned to just brainwash Yun Seong-ho with the Eye of Suggestion and make him a half-puppet... but that's too late now.’

I thought he might have started demonisation experiments using monster corpses after Yun Sea's death, but I never imagined it would have progressed this far already.

‘Yun Seong-ho's demonisation is already somewhat advanced. Wiping away the traces of demonisation might be possible, but... that would easily attract gossip in many ways.’

So, the most suitable narrative is... they all died in an accidental explosion while conducting illegal experiments in the underground research lab.

‘...I feel like I've become some kind of psychopath.’

Perhaps due to the self-hypnosis in front of the mirror, I felt like I had become a madwoman who would stop at nothing to achieve her desired results.

‘But, this is the only way.’

If the story proceeds according to canon, someone in the protagonist's faction is bound to meet a gruesome end.

Preventing that and taking all the filth that would splatter onto several people onto myself alone is, well, an easy task.

‘Besides, it's something I did a lot when collecting endings.’

Although I followed the story, there are surprisingly many people who can be saved by acting this way.

Moreover, the shackles of the 'story' have long since disappeared this time.

-Click!

"Perfect."

Right after the simple ability assessment at the lab, I returned to my room and crafted a homemade bomb.

...

...

...

["Haaap-!"]

-Slice!

"Hmm... Absolutely splendid, truly perfect."

"Is the Young Lady's output that powerful?"

"Yes, indeed it is!"

That evening. Yun Seong-ho was laughing maniacally while looking at the data displayed on the screen.

"It's S+, S+! A Mana level comparable to that Great Sage of Raon Academy!"

‘Being praised like that feels disgusting.’

And there I was, watching Yun Seong-ho from inside an air vent.

‘[Eye of Suggestion], its effect is killer.’

My Mana stat was A+, but using the effect of the Eye of Suggestion, I manipulated his vision to make him misread my stats.

All stats A-Rank or higher, with Mana standing out exceptionally high at S+.

Theoretically, this meant I could gain the upper hand in close combat even against an A-Rank martial arts hunter.

"I can perfectly establish the concept of a Battle Wizard, which had only been proven theoretically! This is such a huge discovery that the four existing positions—Striker, Defender, Ranger, Magician—will become meaningless!"

"Truly amazing, Chairman!"

‘Battle Wizard? Such a character doesn't exist~’

Someone who enters the enemy lines alone, kills everyone, and comes out is a Striker, what's this Battle Wizard nonsense.

‘This will be on the theory exam, so maybe I should do a quick review before leaving.’

I took out the notebook I brought from my bag and slowly started reading the text.

There wasn't much else to do until Yun Seong-ho said something anyway.

‘Striker: A position that enters the enemy lines and overturns them with high mobility and powerful attacks.’

As described earlier, if all stats are high, one can sweep through a dungeon alone. Perhaps that's why most S-Rank hunters are Strikers.

‘Defender: A position that assists Strikers with overwhelming stamina and defense, or protects the Rangers and Magicians in the rear.’

Occasionally, individuals with talent for both Striker and Defender exist, but apart from a few exceptionally outstanding ones, most tend to choose and focus on one talent due to having mediocre stats otherwise.

‘Ranger: A position that clears monsters with long-range weapons like bows or firearms. Unlike Magicians who deal area damage, they specialize in taking down single targets, making them quite useful for catching boss mobs.’

Should I call them typical ranged dealers?

Without their tools, they are fragile burdens with low movement speed.

However, if you secure a safe firing position for them and handle the enemies heading their way, they can become massive siege turrets, melting the boss mob's health like ice cream—a high-risk, high-return position.

Finally, the Magician.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say this is the position that gets the sweetest deal among all positions appearing in .

Protected by the Striker and Defender in the front, with even enemies who break through them handled by the Ranger. In this situation, they comfortably chant spells, wipe out enemy lines with AoE magic, and if their Holy Power stat is high, they can even use healing spells to support allies.

The director of Raon Academy, the main stage of , was also a Magician. Though with almost no Holy Power, they were a Magician optimized for nuking + AoE slaughter.

Compared to the Magician-position heroine who later enrolls in the same year as the protagonist, the director is evaluated as having a completely opposite style, showing how even within the same Magician position, the roles they perform can be entirely different.

‘Looking at my current stats, my position is... a Supporting Magician, huh.’

Confusing enemies with the Eye of Suggestion, and using Psychokinesis to aid allies' rapid advance or to attack—it was a position with decent utility.

However, with this skillset, I can't take the Final Boss's head alone.

-Whirrrrr...!

"Yes, next time, let's try injecting undiluted monster blood into Sea."

"Yes! I'll adjust the mixing ratio immediately!"

‘Dying together in such a nice research facility via explosion seems a bit wasteful. I need to take measures.’

Looking around Yun Seong-ho's lab, I realized many things.

There were surprisingly many useful items. Far too valuable to disappear in a bombing incident.

A hidden laboratory capable of conducting such illegal experiments is extremely rare. Therefore...

-Crash! Bang!

"Chairman! It seems the Young Lady's brainwashing has worn off! We checked her bag and found a sharpened kitchen knife, and when confronted, she immediately grabbed the bag, broke the window, and escaped...!"

"What?! Capture her immediately! No, I need to be there to apply hypnosis. I'll go myself!"

"Yes, sir! I'll prepare the car right away!"

‘Goodbye, I'll make good use of the lab.’

Fooled by false information, Yun Seong-ho rushed off somewhere.

I already knew which car Yun Seong-ho favored. A G-Wagen, I think? Anyway, I remember it being quite an expensive car.

‘I wonder how far he'll get in a car with its electrical components messed up.’

Well, the chauffeur drives, so I messed it up in a way that wouldn't significantly impede driving.

Just enough so that when they investigate the wrecked car later, they'll conclude he died due to sudden unintended acceleration caused by an electrical signal error?

-Clang!

As soon as the sound of the heavy steel door closing echoed, I confidently dropped down from the ventilation shaft.

-Clink!

As the metal ventilation grill fell, the researchers turned their heads towards the source of the sound.

"Hello? You sons of bitches."

There, I had already activated my Psychokinesis, ready to deploy it.

"Ah, Young Lad—"

-Splat!

Instantly, the head of the researcher who had just spoken to me exploded.

"Could you please not call my name with that voice? You almost made it hard for me to kill you out of affection."

-Click!

"You... monster bitch.......!!"

A researcher, enraged by his colleague's death, drew a gun from his hip, intending to fire at me, but...

-Bang!

"Hyung-ju...?"

"Oh my, I'm over here."

"W-what. I definitely aimed at that bitch's head..... Sang-min hyung-nim..!!"

Unfortunately, the bullet fired from the gun, which wasn't pointed at me, pierced the head of a burly researcher wearing a nameplate reading [Kim Sang-min], located 270 degrees away from my position.

"Look carefully."

-Crack!

I thinly spread my Psychokinesis, creating something like thin crystal panels, enclosing them.

Based on the same principle as a hall of mirrors found in amusement parks, they would see dozens of false Yun Seas within the same space.

-Bang, Bang!

"Kuaaargh! Where are you shooting, you idiot!"

"Hyung-nim! I told you not to shoot at me!"

Trapped in a state of [Suggestion], they indiscriminately fired their guns at the Yun Sea reflected in the mirrors... no, at their allies, and bullet holes began to appear in their bodies.

"Here, a present?"

Since most of the guards were B-Rank or higher, a few bullets wouldn't be enough. They needed at least a bomb.

-BOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!

On the pristine white marble floor of the underground laboratory, once like a clean canvas, I completed a work of art titled 'A Girl's Revenge' in red blood.

-Click!

"The gun, I'll put it to good use?"

After taking a car key and a handgun from the pocket of a guard who looked like another driver, I slowly walked towards the same place Yun Seong-ho had rushed out from earlier.

["Yun Sea-nim's fingerprint, confirmed."]

-Vreeeeee...!

Descending to the underground parking garage, I found a vast number of luxury foreign cars parked there, easily exceeding 20 or 30 vehicles.

"Cars of incredible value... looking closely... according to the system, the cars in this section seem to be registered under my name."

Among them were cars he had purchased under my name, likely to evade taxes. Just how many cars did he have to resort to this?

"Ferrari, Porsche, Bugatti, so many..."

A red sports car emblazoned with a yellow rectangle and a horse emblem, a coupe-style SUV with a nostril-like grille bearing the BMW mark—most were sports cars, perhaps bought for track driving.

‘...I don't like flashy things. Maybe I'll go with that one.’

Amidst the numerous sports cars stood stately luxury sedans.

The car that caught my eye was a large vehicle with a majestic presence that made the luxury sports cars look trivial.

‘Rolls-Royce, a car I couldn't even dream of looking at in my past life.’

Looking at the back, the words Phantom, Cullinan, and Spectre were engraved in English, respectively.

Among the purple, gray, and silver luxury vehicles parked side-by-side in that order, I opened the door of the one that looked relatively smallest, the silver one, and found a note that read [Merry Christmas, my daughter].

Just in case, I opened the doors of all the cars in the section registered under my name, and found identical notes placed inside, as if they had been photocopied.

"Trying to act like a good father now? It just makes me sick."

-Whirr....!

"Oh, modern electric cars are quiet. I like that it can even charge by absorbing the user's Mana."

I immediately pressed the start button familiarly, starting the car, and then entered the destination into the navigation system—a location I had previously ordered the driver to set.

A reservoir located on the border between Seoul and Gyeonggi Province, a place notorious for accidents, where dying from sudden acceleration while driving would seem plausible.

["There are autonomous driving mode and manual driving mode. Which driving mode would you like to use?"]

"Automatic mode, please. I'm a bit scared to drive such an expensive car myself."

Yun Seong-ho. The worst father in the remembered Yun Sea's eyes, and a villain through and through, both inside and outside the original work.

-Click!

"Remaining bullets... 7."

Still, he left me the grand inheritance of this research lab... so, a painless death? No, I'll send you off as painfully as possible.
