Academy Munchkin Grew Up To Become a Genius

Episode 10 Parasitic Growth (4)

A mountainside filled with the essence of nature.

Park Shin-hoo’s personal dojo built there.

Park Shin-hoo slammed her punches and kicks into her punching bag with fierce force.

-Puck! Pow! Pop!

It was batting practice to develop her abilities as much as possible before entering the academy.

Park Shin-hoo, who experienced defeat by a peer of his age for the first time in his fight with Kang Seo-jun, devoted himself to training from that day onwards, as if someone would come after him whenever he had time.

The people around him suffered because of that stance.

“Eup! Eup! Ugh!”

The gangster, who was holding on to the punching bag so that it wouldn’t shake, let out a gasping sound every time a fist or kick was thrown in front of him.

“Hold on tight.”

When Park Shin-hoo clenched his fist, the muscles in his right arm swelled and a blue energy wavered.

-Pow!!

“Ugh!”

Punching bags and gangsters flew backwards and landed in the ground, spewing sand like rockets at Park Shin-hoo’s punch, which was full of mana.

“Turn it off….”

“Next.”

Park Shin-hoo paid no attention to the bully who was moaning in pain and pointed his finger at the other bully who was waiting next to him.

Yangachi, who was waiting for the gesture, stood in front of Park Shin-hoo holding a punching bag with a contemplative expression.

Just as batting practice was about to begin again,

“Master.”

A man with a deep voice who came next to me without even knowing me called out to Park Shin-hoo.

Park Shin-hoo lowered his fist and looked back at him, wiping his sweat with the towel around his neck.

“What? When did you come?”

“I just came because I have something to report to you.”

“Recent work assigned to you?”

Park Shin-hoo’s recent task was to investigate Kang Seo-jun.

“Yes. The detectives in charge came to us saying they had something to report about that case.”

“Detectives?”

Park Shin-hoo frowned and tilted his head.

“I gave you the job a few days ago and you’ve already finished it?”

“I think that’s a slightly different story.”

Park Shin-hoo’s expression crumpled.

Looking at the nuances of Kim Jun-pyo, his attendant, it didn’t seem like the detectives would have brought a very pleasant story.

“First of all, you there.”

Park Shin-hoo called the maid who was sitting at the entrance.

“Water.”

“Oh, yes.”

The maid filled a glass with water from a kettle and handed it to Park Shin-hoo.

“This is a tea made by steeping 4-year-old wild ginseng in Mana stone water.”

A greenish liquid mixed with the yellow color of wild ginseng and the blue color of mana stone.

The price of just one cup, which was no different from pure elixir, would have easily exceeded several million won.

The gangsters standing awkwardly on one side of the dojo looked at Park Shin-hoo with envious eyes.

Park Shin-hoo drank it in one gulp and lost his mind.

“What is this?”

Unlike what I usually eat, my throat was very sore.

“Is this what I ate?”

“Yes?”

The maid looked like she didn’t know what to say.

-Cough! Cough!

I guess I was so upset that I even coughed, which I rarely do normally.

“Fuck….”

When I cough, I feel a foreign body like a bead stuck in my throat, and I can even taste the faint taste of blood in my mouth.

“What on earth did you bring? Take everything that’s left.”

At those words, the expressions of the gangsters were colored with astonishment.

If you’re going to throw it away, give it to us instead!

“And later, call the maid. The fucking bitch can’t even manage the elixir properly.”

At those words, the maid became thoughtful and bowed her waist.

“Let’s go.”

Park Shin-hoo cleared her sore throat and headed to the reception room where the police were waiting with Kim Jun-pyo.

When Park Shin-hoo entered the reception room, the two detectives who were sitting stood up and bowed their heads in greeting.

“Are you here, master?”

Park Shin-hoo sat at her head’s table, arrogantly crossing her arms.

“So. What is it?”

The detectives looked at each other in response to Park Shin-hoo’s question.

Park Shin-hoo was impressed by that gesture.

“Why are you so upset?”

“I’m sorry, Master. I don’t think it will be difficult for us to handle this matter.”

“What?”

Park Shin-hoo’s eyes were filled with power.

“No. It hasn’t even been three days since you took the job. Why? Did you take it like that and then come back to bargain?”

The detectives looked troubled by Park Shin-hoo’s sarcasm.

“It’s not that… First of all, this…”

The detectives handed Park Shin-hoo two pieces of white paper.

There was nothing special about them other than the word “STOP” Written on both sheets of hard paper.

“What is this?”

“This is an anonymous letter that arrived at both Detective Kim’s and my homes. We believe this is a warning letter.”

“Warning letter?”

“Yes. The man named Kang Seo-jun whom you entrusted to investigate.”

The detective continued with an expression that indicated that now was the point.

“All information was locked with security level VVVIP.”

“…What?”

Park Shin-hoo looked like he was talking nonsense.

But the detective paid no heed and continued to say what he had to say.

“If it is VVVIP level, it is a level that even the President of our country cannot access. Is it only the high-ranking executives of the World Hunter Federation Union who can access this level of security?…”

“Ha?”

A laugh reflexively came out of Park Shin-hoo’s mouth.

“Are you writing a novel? Do you want me to believe it?”

“We are embarrassed, too. Still, since it was the master’s request, we tried to use an expedient method to deliver the man’s information, but they sent us an anonymous warning letter, wondering how they found out about it.”

“I think it would be best to stop at this point. I don’t know where the man belongs, but at least…”

“Wait. Shut up.”

“…….”

I was instantly dizzy from the completely unexpected flow.

He squeezed his eyes shut, rubbed his temples, and clapped his hands.

“Anyway, these are useless things. In the end, I came here to whine that I can’t do it. Get out.”

“…Excuse me?”

The detectives left the reception room first, looking very uncomfortable.

“Fuck….”

For a moment, the words his sister said flashed through his mind.

‘Please. Know your subject and act accordingly. Do you think you’re a king because you’re the best among your peers? There are many organizations in the world bigger than us, you idiot. ‘Be mindful of your opponent’s size and act with reasonable discretion.’

No matter how much Park Shin-hoo is the successor to a large company competing for first or second place in the business hierarchy of Korea, a hunter powerhouse, his essence is nothing more than a wealthy merchant or mercenary group or, at best, a wealthy local lord.

Its status could not be compared to that of a single nation, and it was even less capable of being compared to the Hunter Federation Union, which had the most powerful power in the world.

But it is said that the man, who looks like a half-dead corpse, is protected by world-class security.

-Clink!

Park Shin-hoo roughly threw the glass of water on the table.

For what reason did a guy with that kind of background come to the Korean Hunter Academy?

For what on earth.

Park Shin-hoo’s stomach became complicated.

What if what he’s after is the fruit of the sun?

Then, will you be able to compete with him and win? ?

“Cough! Cough…!”

Suddenly, a fitful cough broke out.

A coughing sound with a lot of hardened phlegm, like a patient with a lung disease.

“Gwae, are you okay?”

When Park Shin-hoo, who had never caught a cold in his life, showed an unusual appearance, Kim Jun-pyo, who usually does not show his emotions, was embarrassed and asked.

“I’m going back to the training ground. Today is an all-night vigil.”

Park Shin-hoo stood up with solemn eyes.

However, Park Shin-hoo was completely unaware that such enthusiasm was hastening his defeat.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Songnisan Mountain.

The cliff road where Kang Seo-jun and Jin Se-rin and their group move to the training site.

Kang Seo-jun was manipulating the status window while moving around on his bodyguard’s back.

As soon as the special effect of the skill ‘Parasite Growth’ was activated, he transferred the cancer trait to Park Shin-hoo without hesitation.

[You have selected 《Terminal Cancer Lv. Lowest Level》 as the characteristic to be passed on to the host.]

[The trait 《Terminal Cancer Lv. Lowest》 has been downgraded to the trait 《Cancer Stage 4 Lv. Lowest》.]

[Host 《Park Shin-hoo》 gains the attribute 《Cancer Stage 1 Lv. Low》.]

-Suuuuu!

Kang Seo-jun felt as if his clogged breathing passages and blood vessels were cleared up just by the cancer going down a level.

───────────────────

The specification still has a long way to go.

[Strength experience increases by stealing the host’s experience!]

[Strength experience increases by stealing the host’s experience!]

[By stealing the host’s experience, your agility experience increases!]

At this rate, I think I will be able to clean up the debuff characteristics in no time.

However, it would be difficult to openly pass on characteristics that are clearly visible on the outside, such as ‘hunchback’, ‘clubfoot’, and ‘necrotic dermatitis’.

If Park Shin-hoo’s back is bent and Kang Seo-jun’s back is straight, they will definitely suspect that there is some kind of connection.

Debuff characteristics that appear on the surface can be resolved through other means.

Or, you need to create a situation where there will be no problem even if you openly pass on the characteristics to solve the problem.

And after cleaning up the debuff characteristics to some extent, we should bring back Park Shin-hoo’s buff characteristics.

‘Sword Talent Lv. Advanced’, ‘Martial Arts Talent Lv. Advanced’, ‘Innate Bonelessness Lv. Rare’…….

As it is a character designed in a rival position, all kinds of buff characteristics, including growth correction characteristics, are distributed in a nutritious manner.

Among them, the thing I covet more than anything is,

Characteristic was ‘Taesan’s successor’.

Characteristics that enable one to receive full support and sponsorship from Taesan Group.

However, in order to take away this characteristic, additional conditions must be met.

Park Shin-hoo had to be further undermined, and the relationship with Taesan Group had to be further improved.

Of course, both are not that difficult for Kang Seo-jun.

If she exploits Park Shin-hoo’s various aspects with her parasitic growth skills, Park Shin-hoo will fall into ruin on her own.

It would be a good idea to raise the relationship with Taesan Group by selling special information to Park Seo-yoon.

‘It’s really a matter of time.’

As time passes, Park Shin-hoo will lose more and more of her own abilities and background to Kang Seo-jun.

Until the moment he loses everything, he will have no idea what happened.

Although I have no personal ill feelings toward Park Shin-hoo, the fact that she plans her happy life using an arrogant and selfish villain as fertilizer gave Kang Seo-jun a strange sense of envy.

‘On the other hand, good people need to be raised diligently.’

Considering the difficulty of the second half of the scenario, the role of colleagues is very important.

Unless Kang Seo-jun has multiple bodies, he cannot solve all the legendary or higher gates that explode simultaneously around the world by himself.

At that time, the bodyguard who was diligently walking forward carrying Kang Seo-jun on his back asked.

“How much further do we have to go?”

“We’re almost there now.”

A strange technique moved around in Kang Seo-jun’s pupils.

[The eye of providence guides you to your destination. Go straight ahead for 150m. Directions will end soon.]

The place we were heading to now was a hidden dungeon that only Kang Seo-jun knew about.

Originally, with Kang Seo-jun’s current spec, it was a level of difficulty where you would die 100 times even if you went 100 times, but it didn’t matter.

All you have to do is show the way.

Anyway, Jin Serin’s bodyguards will take care of the strategy.

It was truly parasitic growth.
