Academy Munchkin Grew Up To Become a Genius

Episode 25 Mana Practice (1)

The next schedule was dormitory assignment.

After selecting their main weapon and position, Class A followed Kim Joo-hee to the outskirts of the academy where the dormitory was located.

Throughout his journey, Kang Seo-Jun had to receive harsh looks from his fellow cadets.

“Ha…What kind of climb is this F grade…?”

“Will level A+? I don’t know if it’s mana, but if the will is high, what’s the point?”

“I can’t die alone, so I want to die together…?”

“If that’s the case, why did you come to the academy?”

“You’re openly trolling, but honestly, isn’t this something you can suggest?”

“Ha… I don’t know about counter-fighting, but if you get caught in a team mission, it’s really…”

There are many voices of distrust and concern that Kang Seo-jun might team up with him and ruin his grades.

[The constellation “The Sympathetic Hermit” Sponsors dimensional currency as a means of consolation.]

I will become rich like this.

On the other hand, Jin Se-rin muttered with a pouty face as she walked next to the waddling Kang Seo-jun.

“…Without knowing anything.”

Judging by their facial expressions, it seemed like they didn’t really like the way the cadets were whispering.

And Lim Chae-won was following Kang Seo-jun and Jin Se-rin a few steps behind.

‘What do you mean you don’t know… ?’

She caught Jin Se-rin’s small murmur with B-grade senses without missing it.

‘By the way, it wasn’t a close combat type… ?’

At the time of the accident on the way to school, the man clearly blocked the dump truck with his bare body.

I saw and felt it clearly with B-class senses and magic, so there was no doubt about it.

It was clearly not magic, but pure physical power.

‘But what is that magic wand… ? What is that all-F sound? . Why is the position like that….’

I felt like there were a lot of things I wanted to ask right now between Jin Se-rin and Kang Seo-jun, but it wasn’t the time to step forward yet.

‘…… Let’s wait and see. I don’t know what intentions or abilities that man has, but I’ll find out over time. If by chance he was trying to hide the power he saw back then, he could use that as an excuse to approach him. First, it would be better to observe that man’s stance.’

-Cough! Cough!

Park Shin-hoo and his gang were walking at the very back of Class A.

“I thought that bastard would go to the fighter position…”

“The legs look like that, but the fighter is Eva. The mobility is lacking.”

“But you fight well. Last time too…”

-Thrill!

When Park Shin-hoo opened his eyes brightly, the gangster who was speaking stuttered.

“Well, last time…. Det….”

“Well, wasn’t the hamburger I ate last time delicious?”

“Ah, ah~ It was a delicious restaurant~”

Park Shin-hoo’s expression was still not good, but Yangachi was able to overcome the crisis thanks to his friends.

-Cough! Cough!

-Waddle! Waddle! Limping! Limping!

Park Shin-hoo coughed and glared at the back of Kang Seo-jun’s tottering head.

‘The intention is to get extra points as an all-rounder.’

From the moment someone chose the all-rounder, Park Shin-hoo had an intuition that it was Kang Seo-jun.

At that time, he wondered whether he should choose an all-rounder so that he would not fall behind in extra points….

‘If the team’s role balance is lost, no matter how talented the team is, it will not function properly.’

I quit because sacrificing the right balance in the team was too risky.

Shooters and Mages have strong attack power, but if there is no one to protect them, they are helplessly swept away.

Fighters have excellent attack and defense balance, but they often face limitations due to their mediocre abilities and insufficient utility.

Tanks, supports, and junglers also quickly become ineffective if they do not have a team to protect and assist them.

‘In the end, you are creating your own weakness. I don’t know what you’re thinking, but if I meet an enemy, I will persistently bite into your weak points.’

Park Shin-hoo gritted his teeth and gritted his dark circles.

As everyone thought about their own thoughts and moved diligently, Class A was able to quickly arrive at the dormitory.

“Oh….”

“Wow….”

It was too big to be a dormitory for students.

It was extremely large, luxurious, and full of formative beauty.

It was truly a 7-star hotel.

Kim Joo-hee attracted the attention of Class A cadets and handed out access security codes to them one by one.

Today’s schedule ended with everyone being assigned their own room number and Kim Joo-hee calling for her to be dismissed.

Now I was free until school time tomorrow morning.

It is just lunch time.

I refused Jin Se-rin’s invitation to have lunch with her and went into the dormitory early.

I wanted to save up as much energy as possible for tomorrow, and I had to plan my future work at home.

When I held the smart watch to the dormitory doorknob, the machine responded.

-Beep. Beep beep. Unlock.

-Slap!

The interior of the dormitory was larger than the officetel where I originally lived.

It is a 1.5 Room room with a kitchen, a living room, and a separate bedroom, but it is a single room.

In addition, all the usual options were provided, including a TV, microwave, sofa, table, refrigerator, etc.

Looking at the bed, it is queen size and boasts incredible softness.

When Kang Seo-jun opened the curtains to brighten up the dark bedroom, the neat and elegant scene of the Korea Hunter Academy came into view.

-Whoop. Huh.

“Hey…”

Kang Seo-jun’s room is on the 8th floor.

I’ve seen the scene from there so many times that I got tired of it in games, but seeing it with real eyes was a new experience.

-Swooooop!

Kang Seo-jun first put the “Business Asthma Respirator” He purchased at a dimension store into his mouth and inhaled.

This is because after breathing outside air for the first time in two weeks, his lungs quickly became dry and it was difficult to breathe.

-Limp! Limping!

-Waddle! Waddle!

And then, playing hard with his bent legs and body, he walked to the sofa.

Paper and writing utensils were already prepared on the table in front of the sofa.

“Okay. Let’s begin.”

Kang Seo-jun felt the need to reflect on his goals and process.

He first wrote his final goal in the very center of the paper.

‘Happy life in another world’

The ultimate goal is, of course, a happy life.

But it was never something that could be obtained for free in this cruel and dangerous world.

If Kang Seo-jun had not been a stagnant person or if his willpower had been lower than 30, the process would have been difficult and painful enough for him to have made some compromises and chosen to live quietly.

The flow of [Grand Hunter Academy] Grows in scale toward the latter half, and eventually disasters occur not only on a national level but also on a global level.

To live a happy life, surviving such a disaster was not enough.

If only Kang Seo-jun survives, half of the world will be destroyed.

In order to live a happy life, you needed to be strong enough to solve the disasters with your own hands.

That’s why Kang Seo-jun had to strengthen Ilsin’s power to the limit, and a very important element to become that strong was the Sun Fruit that could be obtained at this academy.

“What more…”

Only by eating the fruit of the sun can other skills and characteristics grow to transcendent level.

This is because the stigmata awakened by the fruit of the Aspect are small and there are clear limits to their growth.

◆Characteristics

[Eye of Providence Lv. Transcendence], [Dimension Shop Lv. Transcendence], [Favored One Lv. Transcendence]

Of course, even if you cannot eat the fruit of the sun, the transcendental characteristics you already have will not disappear.

These are features added before the bowl hardens.

But that’s only half the story.

Even if Kang Seo-jun jumps here and there throughout his academy career, somehow dealing with all the debuff characteristics and raising his stats sufficiently, if there is a clear limit to his growth, he will only become a slightly more special hunter than an ordinary hunter.

Just thinking about it is a future in which expectations plummet.

“That’s not the concept I came up with.”

So, getting the fruit of the sun is a question and answer dance.

I absolutely had to eat it.

And what is needed to obtain this fruit of the sun.

‘Graduated at the top of the academy.’

In order to get a top grade, you had to always get the best score in all future classes, exams, and performance evaluations.

So, it is clear what Kang Seo-jun must do right now.

“Not losing in sparring class tomorrow.”

The academy includes not only exams but also participation and contribution in each class in the grade score.

If your goal is to be a senior, you cannot pass any class half-heartedly.

“To do that, we need to have countermeasures against long-distance or magic attacks.”

If you compete against a fighter, you will be able to counterattack somehow, but if your opponent is a long-distance shooter or wizard, you will be defeated.

No matter how good your luck is, you cannot just rely on your luck and ignore your weaknesses.

As luck is something you cannot control, you must always assume the direction in which things may go wrong and prepare accordingly.

Kang Seo-jun looked at his cane that was standing at an angle next to his TV.

Countermeasures against ranged shooters and wizards.

The answer lies in mana training.

───────────────────

Currently, Kang Seo-jun’s mana ability is 4.

“If you raise your mana to 6, you can’t lose in the first sparring even if you want to.”

If you raise your mana to 6, ‘mana insensitivity’ is alleviated to ‘mana insensitivity’ and you can use the new ability of the Eye of Providence.

With that, I could respond even if the opponent was matched with a long-distance shooter or wizard.

The problem is how to increase magical power by 2 levels until tomorrow afternoon’s sparring training.

“It’s nothing difficult.”

The remaining time is approximately 24 hours.

The power of the mana slime mold was enough time.

The plan is perfect. Perfect preparation. There is enough time.

No matter who was matched in this sparring, that opponent would become Kang Seo-jun’s prey.
