Academy Munchkin Grew Up To Become a Genius

Episode 40 The fuse of war B (1)

Late afternoon as the sun was setting.

Kang Seo-jun sat on a park bench and looked at his smart watch.

Seo Eun-ha’s movement path and location were being output on the smart watch.

It was a GPS sharing system built into Seo Eun-ha’s vehicle.

– Seojun. There are now about 5 minutes left to reach the abandoned factory you mentioned.

“Yes, I confirmed. Please go inside the abandoned factory. I will prepare and contact you again in 5 minutes.

-Yes. I’ll be waiting.

-Suddenly.

Kang Seo-jun pressed the call end button and relieved his stiff body.

“…I felt tired after sitting for a while.”

Well, it was worth it.

I’ve already been up for two nights with this broken body, and I even had a hard training session today.

No matter how much you possess top-notch willpower, it is still impossible to overcome.

My physical strength had already passed its limit, and my mental strength was now starting to show its bottom.

-Burr.

Kang Seo-jun shook his head vigorously.

‘No. Wake. There’s a lot to do.’

-Party! Match! Match!

Kang Seo-jun slapped himself on both cheeks three times and created a dimensional store window in the air.

If your physical strength and mental strength are limited, then you can use the power of chemistry.

Kang Seo-jun first purchased two ‘busy stimulants’.

-Hook! Sigh!

Then, it was administered by inserting it into both arms at the same time.

-Shoouuuuuck!

My mind, which seemed to be filled with noise, became clear again in an instant.

As expected, the power of chemistry is great.

-Ping!

“Oh my…!”

However, due to excessive drug use, his kidneys were screaming for help.

I can’t believe that the kidneys, nicknamed ‘silent organs’, are suffering this much.

Even if something is wrong with this, it is very wrong.

“Hap!”

However, Kang Seo-jun endured all the pain with a single breath, and with trembling fingers, holding his stinging side, he quickly purchased a ‘blooming world painkiller’.

-Taltaltal! Munch! Munch! Gulp!

Kang Seo-jun emptied the entire bottle of painkillers in an instant, as if he were eating snacks.

-Gurgling! Gurgling!

-Puck! Pow!

A very ominous sound and vibration occurred near Kang Seo-jun’s kidneys and liver.

But there was no pain.

After all, it is a ‘high street painkiller’.

“This is the end of doping.”

You should refrain from overclocking for the time being.

“Okay. Now next…”

Kang Seo-jun moved his fingers diligently again.

There were still many things to purchase.

──────《Item》──────

Dimension Store Table Teleport Scroll

◆Grade

[Advanced]

◆Description

– A disposable scroll imbued with teleportation magic. Dimensional currency is consumed in proportion to the distance traveled.

– It is used by engraving dimensional coordinates and tearing it.

– This item can only be purchased from the Dimension Store.

– This item can only be used once a day, and its availability is reset every midnight.

─────────────────

The next thing I purchased was a means of transport that would transport Kang Seo-jun to Seo Eun-ha in an instant.

It is difficult to use when traveling long distances as the consumption value soars astronomically, but when traveling short distances, it is a very cost-effective item.

Kang Seo-jun scribbled his finger on the teleport scroll.

The coordinates of the abandoned factory were engraved in glowing letters on the scroll.

Originally, in order to find out the dimensional coordinates, calculations using expensive artifacts or complex magical magic techniques were required, but for Kang Seo-jun, who was a deceased person, it was an unnecessary process.

Because most of the dimensional coordinates were already memorized in his head.

“Okay. Now there’s only one last thing left.”

Gang Seo-Jun, who had prepared transportation, now worked his fingers to purchase the last supplies.

This was the most important key item in this plan.

Dimensional store table imitation scroll

◆Grade

[Advanced]

◆Description

– A disposable scroll imbued with imitation magic. Dimensional currency is consumed in proportion to the transformation time.

– When setting up an object whose appearance will be imitated, an offering related to the object is required.

– After setting the object whose appearance you want to imitate, tear it and use it.

– This item can only be purchased from the Dimension Store.

─────────────────

A magic scroll that can mimic the appearance of a desired object like a doppelganger.

Kang Seo-jun opened a characteristic window next to the store window to set the target to borrow the appearance from.

───────《Skill》───────

Parasite growth

◆Grade

[Narrative]

◆Description

-Absorbs 20% of the experience gained by the host and uses it as food for the growth of the parasite.

-Current host: Park Shin-hoo

※Special Effect 1. With ‘parasitic growth’, each time the ability increases by 1 point, you can exchange one desired characteristic with the host.

[Remaining attribute exchange points: 3]

──────────────────

Using this characteristic, the imitation target could be set.

Because there was an offering needed to set up an object to imitate.

When Kang Seo-jun touched the attribute exchange point once, a small light appeared at the tip of his finger.

Kang Seo-jun brought that light directly to the imitation scroll.

[I sacrificed 1 trait exchange point for the trait 《Parasite Growth》.]

[The imitation target of the imitation scroll has been set to the host 《Park Shin-hoo》.]

“Good. Preparations are complete.”

Now that we were ready, it was time to move.

Kang Seo-jun folded the imitation scroll into his pocket and looked around.

As expected, there was no one in the dark corner of the park where there was no light.

“You can use it right away.”

Kang Seo-jun tore the teleportation scroll without hesitation.

-Boo!

-Boo!

Kang Seo-jun’s new type disappeared with a ray of haze.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Stellaport, an artificial island city in the East Sea.

On the outskirts, an abandoned factory located on the dockside that was long ago untouched by human hands.

The atmosphere there was reminiscent of Chernobyl.

Seo Eun-ha’s sedan slipped into a large abandoned factory.

-Evil. Wickedness.

Weeds growing long through the floor made a noise as they swept across the car body.

“Hmm.”

It seemed difficult to get in by car anymore.

-Roaring….

Seo Eun-ha turned off the engine and looked at the smart watch.

-Ring! Ring!

I got a call from Kang Seo-jun at exactly the perfect timing.

“Yes. I answered the phone. This is Seo Eun-ha.”

-Yes. Mr. Eunha. We confirmed your arrival.

Seo Eun-ha blinked her eyes.

“Were you watching? Where are you now?”

-You need to go further into the factory.

“Yes. I’ll go right away.”

– Jump! Widely!

Seo Eun-ha immediately got out of the car and walked into the abandoned factory.

-As you come in, you will see a particularly noticeable red container. Please come in there. I’ll be waiting.

-Suddenly….

Do you think we should meet and talk more than this?

“……? A striking red container?”

Seo Eun-ha looked around every corner of the abandoned factory and went deeper inside.

“That’s it.”

Of all the containers piled up and abandoned, there was one particularly bright red container.

Seo Eun-ha walked in front of the red container.

“Hmm.”

The container was tightly locked with a lock.

“You definitely told me to come inside.”

-Slap! Clap!

Seo Eun-ha broke the lock with her grip and opened the locked door with force.

-Kkiik.

“Gasp!”

Seo Eun-ha, who had opened the container door without thinking, took half a step back, swallowing her breath.

As soon as I opened the door, Kang Seo-jun’s face was right in front of me.

“I’m glad you arrived safely.”

“Huh, how in here?”

The container was obviously locked, and I couldn’t see any other entrances?

“I’ll explain that later. Please come in first. We don’t have time.”

Kang Seo-jun waddled inside the container and gestured.

“Oh, that’s right. I understand.”

There are still demons out there following Seo Eun-ha.

Now, I had to talk about the immediate situation first before anything else.

Seo Eun-ha entered the container and closed the door tightly.

-Boom!

When the door was closed, the inside of the container was immersed in complete darkness.

Kang Seo-jun turned on the light with a smart watch.

“I don’t have time, so I’ll explain right away.”

“Yes. I’m ready.”

Seo Eun-ha solemnly nodded her head.

“First, what Eunha has to do with me is a kind of situational comedy.”

Seo Eunha’s eyes blinked rapidly.

“…Could you explain in more detail?”

“The reason the Mine guys are approaching Eunha now is to find out from whom Eunha got the information about Director Kim Hak-yong.”

“That’s right.”

“In other words, what they want is to find the informant who provided information to Eunha. I plan to become the informant they are looking for.”

“Yes?”

Seo Eun-ha’s eyes and mouth opened wide.

“Well, you’re not saying you’re going to take on the demons attached to me, are you!?”

“Mo, lower your voice. It will be difficult if the outside world hears you.”

“Ah…”

Seo Eun-ha wiped her mouth with her embarrassed face and lowered her voice.

“That’s the opposite. I know Seojun is stronger than me, but even so, it’s too dangerous.”

“You don’t have to worry about that.”

Kang Seo-jun smiled faintly and rummaged through his pockets.

“Because I’m going to use this.”

“…That?”

What came out of his pocket was a ‘dimensional store table imitation scroll’.

“It’s a transformation scroll.”

A scroll that temporarily transforms Kang Seo-joon’s appearance into the same appearance as Park Shin-hoo.

Kang Seo-jun planned to use this scroll to pass on the demons to Park Shin-hoo.

“Ah.”

Seo Eun-ha nodded as if she understood the plan.

“You’re creating a virtual character to confuse demons.”

“Well, it’s true that it confuses the demons, but I’m not trying to create a fictional character.”

“Then what?”

“It would be better to see it yourself rather than explain it.”

-Boo!

Kang Seo-jun tore the ‘Dimension Store Imitation Scroll’ into long pieces.

-Howling!

As soon as the scroll disappeared with a blue flame, Kang Seo-jun’s skin began to boil.

“Huh, huh!”

Seeing that, Seo Eun-ha covered her mouth with both hands.

-Uduk! Crunch! Bye!

What would happen if you threw a human body into a steel shredder?

Kang Seo-jun’s body was twisted and twisted violently, and occasionally even exploded.

Seo Eun-ha’s eyes trembled violently with fear.

“Seo, Seojun!? Ah, an eyepatch!”

“Don’t worry, don’t worry, don’t worry.”

However, Kang Seo-jun’s voice was extremely calm.

He raised his hand as if it was no big deal and gave Seo Eun-ha a sign that he was okay.

-Uduk! Crunch! Puck! Pow!

In the meantime, his whole body broke and exploded, making a bizarre sound.

“It’s okay, it’s okay. Basically, it’s a win-win! Something like this, something like that! It’s like that.”

What Kang Seo-jun just did was to simply tear the scroll,

The essence of it was that it ignited the fuse of war between the Taishan Group and the Red Cross Society.

Of course, the flame had no choice but to burn loudly.
