I Became the Student Council President of Academy City-Chapter 127

The very first murder weapon of humanity.

And according to the Bible, wasn’t it a stone that David used to bring down Goliath?

Goliath's heart raced, exhilarated by the sheer thrill of the moment.

Rumble!

Finally, the entity descending through the tear revealed itself. Its size was so massive it couldn't be fully captured by sight.

A gigantic boulder, enveloped in fire and green lightning, saturated with all of Woo-jin's power, was plummeting toward them.

It was a meteor.

It descended through the layers of tears in the sky, growing stronger and faster, radiating unstoppable force and awe across the world.

Unique ability: Spatial Domination. Ultimate technique. Magic Formula #5, "Heavenly Thunder Meteor Strike."

The meteor's brilliance illuminated the darkened world. Goliath, mouth agape in astonishment, finally burst into laughter.

"With that attack, at least half the Earth will be destroyed!"

"Then stop it if you can," Woo-jin replied coldly.

"Hahahaha! You're making this fun!"

Goliath clenched his fists, releasing all his remaining power.

Whooosh!

In his left fist, he concentrated the power of a black hole.

Unique ability: Graviton Mastery. Ultimate technique. Magic Formula #5, "Event Horizon."

Although his strength had weakened from his previous battle with Se-ah, it didn’t matter.

He was going to pour everything into this final strike.

Taking his stance—

‘When was it?’

As the Heavenly Thunder Meteor Strike filled his vision, Goliath's mind wandered back to the first time he looked out at Neo Seoul from beyond the walls.

He realized then how small his world had been.

The laws and morals humanity constructed within the boundaries of society were there just to keep that tiny world in balance.

It was simple, really.

The world was vast, and a single stone could kill a man.

That was the futile truth of life.

Yet, because of that, wasn’t the sight of humanity striving to create meaning in such a small, ordered world beautiful?

‘Beloved world.’

Goliath cherished the home that humanity had built.

He wanted Neo Seoul to become a better place.

But the definition of "right" varied from person to person, and without knowing the future, there was no way to tell what consequences each person's "rightness" would bring.

So Goliath watched, unsure if anyone's justice would bring the change the world needed. All he could do was witness the fate of his beloved city.

But one thing was clear.

Anyone who could overcome the adversity that Goliath represented, armed only with strength, could be trusted with everything.

So, beloved world—

‘Prepare to meet your hero!’

With that thought, Goliath hurled himself toward the meteor, roaring like a beast as he swung his fist.

For a moment, there was silence as the world seemed to freeze.

And then—

Boom!

The meteor shattered upon impact, absorbed into Goliath's fist. But it was so large that shards of it branched off, transforming into smaller meteors that rained down upon the outer world.

The staggering collision of their powers unleashed a destructive shockwave, sweeping across the land and turning everything to ruin.

Countless beasts in the distance met an unexpected death.

The floating ground was blown apart, and the shockwave reached as far as Neo Seoul, shattering the barren outskirts into pieces.

Woo-jin and Goliath’s powers, having exhausted themselves, slowly began to fade.

They were both caught in the shockwave and lost consciousness, crashing into the deep crater that had formed around them.

Explosions continued to echo across the world.

Many things were destroyed, and the air was filled with the noise of devastation.

And then… time passed.

...Drop.

In the mysterious sky of the outer world, a newfound silence began to fill the air.

“Ugh… cough! Haah…”

Woo-jin regained consciousness, groaning in pain.

His ears rang, but he had no time to dwell on it.

His hands were empty. He had no idea where his Iron Dragon Staff and his Tri-Segmented Staff had gone.

His priority was to stand up.

With a body at the brink of collapse, Woo-jin braced himself against the ground and managed to stagger to his feet.

“Haah… haah…”

The penalty?

He could still feel the effects lingering in his body. It seemed the penalty had passed while he was unconscious.

Exhausted, Woo-jin turned his gaze to where he sensed movement.

There was Goliath.

Even after losing consciousness, he still stood tall.

His body was covered in deadly wounds, and Se-ah’s magic had claimed half of his form.

“Hmph…”

Goliath’s eyes regained their light.

He had awakened.

With heavy steps, he freed his foot from the ground and began walking toward Woo-jin.

A menacing figure.

Grinning widely with his large, sharp teeth exposed, Goliath appeared like an indestructible gladiator.

Woo-jin couldn't help but smile silently.

The man was infuriatingly resilient.

His muscles, bones, and organs screamed in pain. Every part of him wanted to collapse right then and there.

But more than anything, the overwhelming desire to bring down the man before him burned brighter than all the pain.

If Goliath was going to burn through his final moments, then Woo-jin would, too.

He stood tall.

His tattered school uniform clung to him. Tearing off the bothersome half-sleeves revealed his muscular arms. He clenched his fists, assuming the stance of a boxer preparing for one last fight in the ring.

He was ready to see Goliath’s end.

Goliath took one look at Woo-jin’s stance, his eyes widening before he let out a chuckle, clenching his own fist.

His right arm was completely destroyed, twitching like a malfunctioning robotic limb.

His right leg, too, had given up after the last few steps.

Goliath knew half his body had already been ruined by Se-ah's magic.

But his left arm still moved. His left leg still worked.

He could still fight.

And that made him happy.

Both fighters had run out of power.

They couldn’t even reinforce their bodies anymore, but that didn’t matter. Just reaching the 8th tier had placed them within the realm of the strongest.

Without a word, Woo-jin dashed forward.

Goliath, leaving his dead right leg behind, pushed off the ground with his left and lunged.

Bam!

Woo-jin’s fist connected with Goliath’s torso, and Goliath’s fist crashed into Woo-jin’s body. Both men grunted in pain but smiled through it.

Punch.

They hit each other in the face.

Punch.

They blocked each other’s attacks, barely keeping up.

Kick!

Woo-jin landed a powerful kick to Goliath’s side.

It was a simple, straightforward fight.

Woo-jin’s mind could no longer function rationally. All he could do was throw his fists to end it.

But Goliath, whose life had already reached its limit, slowly lost strength and began to falter under Woo-jin’s relentless blows.

Finally, as Woo-jin raised his fist for one last strike—

Thud.

Goliath’s body gave out, and he collapsed, his energy drained completely.

Shallow breaths escaped Goliath's lips. Ragged gasps filled the air.

Finally, it was over, and Woo-jin’s body relaxed, forcing him to collapse to the ground.

Thud.

“Pant, pant…”

Woo-jin sat there, breathing heavily, staring at Goliath.

The battered man lay on his back, staring up at the sky.

The polluted skies of the outer world, tainted by the magic of the beasts, were strange and beautiful. Seeing it fill his vision, Goliath couldn’t help but let out a small laugh.

And then—

“…I’ve won.”

Woo-jin’s calm voice broke the silence.

“Hahaha… hahahahaha!!”

Goliath’s laughter boomed.

“Yes, I’ve lost…! Thanks to you, I fought to the very end…! I am grateful…!”

Covered in wounds, Goliath’s body was filled with the remnants of Se-ah’s magic, healing his injuries as his life force slowly faded away.

He could feel his life slipping away.

But his voice was stronger than ever.

“I accomplished everything I wanted…! I fought with those who wielded power, and I gave it my all…! What a romantic life I lived! I have no regrets at all…!”

Goliath’s golden eyes turned milky white, like someone who had gone blind. He could no longer see the beautiful sky.

With his last bit of strength, Goliath smiled wide and shouted his final words.

“What a joyous life it was…!”

Goliath’s voice echoed into the distance.

And then, silence.

The remnants of Se-ah’s magic, which had kept

Goliath’s voice echoed into the distance.

And then, silence.

The remnants of Se-ah’s magic, which had filled Goliath’s body, faded away, completing their task.

Goliath’s once vibrant form, now lifeless, lay motionless. His face, frozen in a wide grin, showed no trace of regret or sorrow.

“…Farewell.”

Woo-jin quietly bid Goliath his final goodbye, watching as the colossal man—who had fought to the very end—took his last breath.
