I Became the Student Council President of Academy City

Woo-jin was a reincarnated soul.

He had never revealed that fact to Geumyang.

"I just figured it out earlier," Geumyang said, shaking her head. "I'm not like my true form, able to know everything. I recognized it when I saw your soul. A normal soul wouldn’t have the imprint of my true form engraved on it."

"An imprint?"

"My true form is the one who sent you here. I bet it even planned for you and me to meet."

Woo-jin narrowed his eyes.

"So... Hwanggeumyang reincarnated me?"

"I'm certain of it. It had to be my true form that sent you to this world."

It wasn’t surprising that a 9th-tier creature—one at the pinnacle of all existence—could perform miracles, but he had never expected that his reincarnation into this world was the work of Hwanggeumyang.

"Did you know about this world?" Geumyang asked.

"There was a game in my past life. It was based on this world."

"A game, huh? The most intuitive way to convey information. My true form probably had someone create it. It’s obvious, isn’t it?"

"Then why me...?"

"Don't ask."

Geumyang sighed, resting her chin on her hand.

"As I said before, I don’t know what my true form is thinking. Why it reincarnated you specifically, why it had us meet, why all of this was set into motion…. I don’t even know why it left this world after fighting those Argonauts. But there's one thing I am sure of."@@novelbin@@

"...To defeat the Principal and Se-ah."

"You've got it."

Even though Woo-jin didn’t fully understand Hwanggeumyang’s intent, he could guess that it was to take down Se-ah and the Principal, who had disrupted the world’s order.

"Your fight wasn't just about the fate of Neo Seoul. The stakes were much higher than that."

"Enough. I don’t need grand speeches. They don’t feel real to me anyway."

Woo-jin stood up.

"I'm just breaking what’s in my way because I want to live my life peacefully."

He thought of the daily life he had shared with Kim Dal-bi as a child, the moments spent with Obaekseo after becoming the Disciplinary Committee president, and the random conversations with the other committee members.

Woo-jin simply wanted to live freely and happily.
