Chapter 51 (Continued)
Surprisingly, the hide-and-seek ended quickly.
On the rooftop of the Disciplinary Committee building, a girl in a school uniform was sitting on the railing, looking down at the school grounds.
Her golden hair fluttered in the night breeze.
It was Geumyang.
Snap!
Spatial Domination, my unique ability.
First-type magic formula, space jump.
Avoiding the security drones’ sight, I created a crack in the air, entered it, and jumped straight to the Disciplinary Committee building’s rooftop.
I wanted to land directly behind Geumyang, but I couldn’t precisely set the coordinates yet.
I fell below the newly formed crack. It was a position quite far above the building’s rooftop.
However, I wasn’t surprised and naturally landed on the rooftop, having anticipated this situation.
“How could you just leave without saying anything?”
I approached Geumyang, asking in a restrained tone.
“You’re here.”
Geumyang turned her head to look at me. The lights scattered across the school grounds illuminated her face from behind.
“Is this where you gain knowledge?”
“Well, yeah.”
I approached the railing next to Geumyang.
Trying to control Geumyang was impossible anyway. Persuading her to leave now would be useless.
So, I decided to play along with her.
“It’s wonderful.”
Geumyang smiled as she looked at the school grounds again.
“Once, out of curiosity, I visited a school a long time ago. It wasn’t like this back then. Everything was destroyed, broken, and silent.”
Geumyang seemed to be recalling a school shortly after the apocalypse.
“A functioning school is so beautiful.... So is this city. Everything is mysterious and beautiful.”
From my perspective, Geumyang was the mysterious one.
But the reverse also seemed true.
Anyway.
“Do you also want to attend school?”
I asked, sensing that was what she wanted.
Geumyang nodded.
“That’s right. Learning about human culture is fun.”
Unfortunately, that wish was difficult to fulfill.
Geumyang didn’t have an officially registered identity in Neo Seoul.
Passing the GED and directly entering high school was also not an option.
‘That’s the principle.’
However, there might be a legal way.
‘Should I look into it soon?’
It didn’t seem too difficult.

With the connections I had built as the Disciplinary Committee Leader, I might be able to make it happen.
“Are you having a nice thought?”
Huh?
“...Is my expression that obvious?”
Baek-seo often read my mind like a ghost.
Geumyang seemed to do the same.
“As I said before, I’ve been watching you for a long time. I can quickly pick up on such things.”
Geumyang answered confidently, smiling with a ‘hoo-hoo.’
“Even if it’s not other humans, I’m an expert when it comes to you, kid.”
Geumyang answered with her legs swinging in the air, her chin lifted proudly.
“Well, with that, you must have some affection for me.”
I joked, and Geumyang’s eyes widened slightly.
“Oh-ho, affection...?”
What was this? Was she impressed?
Geumyang then crossed her arms and tilted her head thoughtfully.
“Maybe. Is this affection?”
“?”
I couldn’t understand why she was suddenly pondering seriously.
Eventually, Geumyang turned her head sideways as if she had discovered something.
“...Hey, kid. Over there.”
Geumyang pointed with her chin somewhere.
“What is it?”
Leaning forward over the railing and turning my head in the direction she indicated, I saw a building.
“......”
My expression turned cold.
Beyond the building’s windows.
Three students, two male and one female, were abusing a lone female student.
The male student was stepping on the girl, slapping her face, while the other girl was photographing the beaten girl with a smartphone.
A blind spot in Ahsung High School’s security.
Secret bullying among students.
Even the Disciplinary Committee couldn’t control everything. Just as the police couldn’t eradicate crime despite their numbers.
There would always be students who secretly bullied others.
In most cases, the perpetrators would prevent the victim from reporting to the Disciplinary Committee.
“I have work to do.”
I fastened the Disciplinary Committee Leader’s armband to my arm.
“This is perfect timing.”
“What is?”
Geumyang got down from the railing and stood next to me.
“Kid, I’m giving you an assignment.”
“An assignment?”
Geumyang smiled broadly.
“It’s time for real education.”
