I Became the Student Council President of Academy City

"The defendant, Ahn Woo-jin, is acquitted."

In the Trial Academy, the AI judge rendered its verdict.

The spectators who had filled the courtroom rushed out to the front gates, where the representative student unfurled a large banner.

On the banner were the words:

[ NOT GUILTY ]

“Wooaaaahhhh!!!” “He’s innocent!!! Not guilty!!!”

The streets outside the school gates were packed with people who had been hoping for Ahn Woo-jin’s acquittal, and they erupted in cheers.

─ ... In other news, a case of monumental importance that will go down in history has reached its conclusion. Ahn Woo-jin, the Disciplinary Committee President of Aseong High School, led a rebellion against the late Headmaster Lee Doo-hee, which escalated into the major conflict involving Spartoi and the Hanyang Federal Academy, now known as the ‘Academy Great War.’ As the complex details of the incident came to light, the public was shocked, eagerly awaiting the verdict for those involved. Eventually, taking into account the unavoidable circumstances and the public interest, Ahn Woo-jin was acquitted...

It had been a month and a half since Ahn Woo-jin destroyed a part of Academy City.

As the truth of the incident unfolded, Neo Seoul erupted in outrage, and Woo-jin, along with the others who had rebelled against the Headmaster and the Martial Law Guards, was acquitted of all charges.

The speed of the trial, enabled by the AI judge, was more procedural than anything else.

The facts were clear, and the entire population of Neo Seoul had risen in support of Woo-jin.

Though there was some criticism of Woo-jin for the destruction he had caused, most citizens argued that much of the damage had targeted the defense mechanisms set up by the late Headmaster, thus mitigating the legal severity of his actions.

Naturally, the student prosecutor did not appeal the ruling, and the case reached its final conclusion.

─ In other news, an unprecedented suspended sentence has been granted to Kim Dal-bi, the Goblin, one of the Six Criminals. It was proven that she was forced into committing acts of terrorism due to the Headmaster’s threats, and despite this, she managed to avoid any loss of life. As a result, her resistance was recognized as the most humane possible. Her school, Aseong High, has decided not to expel her but to impose special educational requirements and community service...
