I Became the Student Council President of Academy City-Chapter 45.2
Chapter 45 (Continued)
Did the girl use some unique ability?
Moreover... why would an intruder sleep while hugging me?
Questions swirled in my mind.
“Threatening me with a stick? You’re an ungrateful one.”
The girl clicked her tongue, shook her head, and shrugged her shoulders.
I couldn’t understand what favor I owed her.
“Well, let’s talk about that later. I need more sleep. Proper sleep is essential for good skin care, you know?”
“......?”
The girl babbled nonsense and then slipped back under the blanket, taking the spot where I had been lying.
With a unique exclamation reminiscent of a sheep’s bleat, her expression melted with satisfaction.
“Baa... It’s warm since you heated it up.... It’s heavenly....”
...Is she kidding?
“Get up.”
My voice was icy.
Magic stirred.
It seemed my magic circuits had fully recovered while I was asleep.
I decided to deal firmly with the uninvited guest.
Sizzle!
Green-blue lightning magic sparked on the Iron Dragon Rod.
“If you stay put until I count to three, I will consider it a trespass and execute a citizen’s arrest.”
“.......”
“One.”
“.......”
“Two.”
“Grr, you’re a troublesome one! I’ll come out, jeez...!”
Sensing my aggressive magic, the girl hastily got out from under the blanket, her tone becoming childish as she abandoned her elderly speech pattern.
She stood facing me.
“Look.”
With a stern face, the girl extended her index finger upwards.
Then, there was a cracking sound as something that shouldn’t split, split.
Whirr.
An alien-like gate formed in the air above the girl’s index finger.
“What?”
I was stunned.
It was unmistakably my unique ability. The sensation of magic felt the same.
It was undoubtedly the space ability I had used.
“I am a wanderer from another dimension. The owner of your ability. The one who bestowed the power upon you.”
The girl said grandly, stringing together impressive titles, though her golden hair was disheveled, making her look unimpressive.
“And using your terms, I am another ‘Golden Sheep.’”
Sizzle....
The lightning magic on the Iron Dragon Rod faded away.
For now....
“...I’ll ask for confirmation.”
“Go ahead.”
“Are you perhaps delusional?”
“I don’t suffer from delusions.... You! After seeing this, do you still think I’m a fool!?”
The girl’s face turned red with indignation.
......
After listening to the girl’s story,
“To summarize..., you are another Golden Sheep born from the original Golden Sheep.”
“Correct.”
“And while staying in another dimension, you could come to this world because I awakened my unique ability?”
“Precisely.”
By then, the girl was munching on some potato chips she had found somewhere.
“To be exact, your unique ability originates from my authority. I chose you. Originally, unique abilities develop postnatally.”
...What?
“Did I just hear a secret of this world nonchalantly?”
“Don’t be silly. It’s common knowledge, isn’t it?”
The girl answered nonchalantly.
No, seriously.
Was she saying that unique abilities develop postnatally, not innately?
It was a statement that could upend academic theories.
“Well, be happy. I, the great one, chose you.”
With an arrogant tone,
the girl, who hadn’t bothered to tidy her disheveled hair, continued eating potato chips.
Whether unique abilities developed innately or postnatally wasn’t something to dwell on right now.
So, moving on.
“...Why did you choose me?”
I crossed my arms, leaned against the wall, and looked at the girl.
Meanwhile, I tried to evoke the crack she had formed but still felt nothing.
“Because your magic was exceptionally pure. It was the most enchanting among anyone in this world. Only with such pure magic could you use space abilities.”
I had trained in Goliath’s magic cultivation method, practicing even more diligently than he had as a child. Thanks to that, my magic was nearly 100% purified.
“I was drawn to you from the start and chose you.”
The girl pointed at me with her crumb-covered finger, her face full of pride, expecting me to be impressed.
“So, I bestowed my authority upon you, stuck by your side, and waited for you to reach at least a basic level...!”
Her voice held a refined grandiosity that didn’t match her sharp cat-like eyes.
“...Like a stalker?”
“I warn you. If you call me that nonsense title again, it will not end well.”
The girl replied smoothly and eloquently, in a firm tone.
Ignoring her.
“Does that mean the original Golden Sheep could intervene in living beings’ unique abilities?”
“You could think of it that way. Though the original one doesn’t seem interested in such matters.”
“Is there anyone else with a similar case?”
“There’s one more. The one who invaded my space last time.”
She was referring to Goliath.
It was the incident when the Blessing of the Golden Sheep manifested.
“That guy also has another Golden Sheep. We each have our authority and exist individually. Though not as capable as me.”
The girl licked the chip seasoning off her fingers, created a crack in the air, and threw the chip bag inside.
Th𝓮 most uptodate nov𝑒ls are publish𝒆d on ƒreewebηoveℓ.com.
So my unique ability could be used as a trash bin too.
It seemed to have limitless, albeit trivial, uses.
“Anyway, the one who chose that guy has the appearance of a goat monster.”
The girl mimicked goat horns with her hands on either side of her head.
“If I were to be born as a human, why choose such a monstrous appearance? Tsk....”
So, the one who granted Goliath his unique ability was another Golden Sheep derived from the original.
And they existed as separate entities with their own bodies, lives, and souls.
‘Is that why his ability was called the Blessing of the Golden Sheep?’
If Goliath could converse with his unique ability’s owner like I could now,
it made sense how he could explain the Blessing of the Golden Sheep.
‘In the game, I thought it was just a figurative expression.’
I thought it was a term used to elevate the prestige of Goliath, the strongest in the game,
by attributing his ability to the divine Golden Sheep, like ‘Zeus’s Lightning’ or ‘Prometheus’s Fire.’
‘It was a literal blessing from the Golden Sheep.’
It was exactly as stated.
“And just to clarify.”
The girl approached me and looked up at me.
She was much shorter than Baek-seo.
About 140 cm, maybe close to 150 cm.
Her golden hair was still disheveled.
“Don’t ask me about the hole or the Golden Sheep’s will.”
“Why?”
“I was born after the Golden Sheep passed through ‘The Hole,’ and we are now separate entities. I know almost nothing. But I can say this for sure.”
The girl grabbed my wrist and lifted it, opening my palm and supporting my hand.
Sss.
‘Huh?’
A profound sensation washed over me like a tsunami, enveloping my entire body.
The sensation coursed through my magic circuits and eventually surged up to my palm.
Crack!
“!”
Above our palms, a crack appeared in the air.
The crack was dark and mysterious.
It looked dangerous, as if it shouldn’t be touched, yet it radiated an enchanting light.
The girl smiled and said,
“I will grant you the power to control space.”
At that moment, I realized the true nature of my ability.
Unique Ability: Space Domination.
The basic ability was to connect spaces at will.
My eyes widened, and my lips curled up slightly.
I had been unable to use my unique ability and had been frustrated by the lack of sensation, but now I felt pure joy.
“...That’s cool.”
Realizing that I had awakened a new power, a wave of delight finally hit me.
