Academy Munchkin Grew Up To Become a Genius

Episode 5 Time for a counterattack (2)

[Critical hit! The lucky strike hits the enemy’s vital spot!]

-Bwaaak!

“Oh my…!”

Park Shin-hoo stumbled after being hit on the chin by Kang Seo-jun’s backspin blow.

-Sharp!

I collapsed on the damp alley floor.

───────《Skill》───────

▶Name

Time to counterattack

◆Grade

[Narrative]

◆Description

-When used, avoids all melee attacks of epic level or lower for 10 minutes, and uses the enemy’s attack power to counterattack by 1.2 Times. It can only be used once per day, and the cooldown is reset every midnight.

──────────────────

The damage of the skill ‘Time to Counterattack’ is 1.2 Times the opponent’s attack power.

If it had simply been a 1.2X counterattack, it would have been impossible to break Park Shin-hoo’s balance.

[Luck: 50]

However, as a critical hit occurred due to the correction of 50 luck, the damage was more than doubled.

“Um…”

“What….”

As the unexpected situation unfolded before their eyes, the expressions of the gangsters surrounding the alley hardened.

“Hey, this bastard…!”

Then one of the gangsters closest shouted,

“Catch it!”

“I’m going to go after you!”

He rushed towards Kang Seo-jun just as the other gangsters followed him.

[Skill ‘Time to Counterattack’ is activated.]

[Critical hit! The lucky strike hits the enemy’s vital spot!]

[Critical hit! The lucky strike hits the enemy’s vital spot!]

[Critical hit! The lucky strike hits the enemy’s vital spot!]

However, it took less than three seconds for each of them to grab their vital points and groan to the point of embarrassment.

“Keu, kuuh…. My shoulder….”

“Su, my breath….”

“It feels like it exploded… Ugh…”

“This bastard….”

Park Shin-hoo woke up growling.

“You hid your abilities.”

“Well.”

Park Shin-hoo made a strange mistake.

But Kang Seo-jun did not bother to clear up the illusion.

There was no problem even if you hid your abilities within the academy.

The academy’s curriculum is a selection process through thorough competition.

Therefore, hiding one’s moves was accepted as part of the strategy and received additional points, but was not disadvantageous.

-Wow! Wow!

Park Shin-hoo warmed up in earnest and assumed her posture.

It seemed like he was ready to fight in earnest.

His way of life is not much different from that of an animal.

He is obsessed with having power over everything.

If an enemy appears, he must bend his knees and place them under his feet.

Especially if you are an opponent who has to compete with yourself within the academy.

“Whoa…!”

-Boo!

Park Shin-hoo turned his body sharply and swung his kick.

He just let his guard down.

If he gains the upper hand in reach with his long legs, he will be unable to do anything and will be beaten helplessly.

Park Shin-hoo thought so.

[Skill ‘Time to Counterattack’ is activated.]

[Critical hit! The lucky strike hits the enemy’s vital spot!]

-Bwaaak!

“Gagging…!”

However, such a strategy was nothing more than a trivial speculation in the face of the absurdity of the system.

Park Shin-hoo fell to his knees after being struck in the knee with a low kick.

“Ugh…!”

Park Shin-hoo gritted his teeth as he saw his knees sinking to the wet floor.

“This bastard…!”

Park Shin-hoo used the momentum from his low stance to tackle Kang Seo-jun by her waist.

[Skill ‘Time to Counterattack’ is activated.]

[Critical hit! The lucky strike hits the enemy’s vital spot!]

-Bwaaak!

“Evil…!”

However, he was hit on the nose by a counter knee kick and fell backwards.

“Ugh…! Ugh…!”

Park Shin-hoo clutched her bleeding nose and crawled on the floor as if she were indignant.

Kang Seo-jun sighed in relief.

If Park Shin-hoo had been in a long-distance position like a wizard or marksman, he would not have been able to gain such an advantage with ‘Time to Counterattack’.

Should this also be considered a lucky correction, Kang Seo-jun thought to himself.

“I’ll kill you…”

There was a deep murderous intent in Park Shin-hoo’s eyes.

“Hmm.”

It was so ferocious that it would have made me cringe if it had been me in my previous life, but perhaps due to the influence of Will 30, it didn’t feel threatening at all.

“You’ll regret it.”

‘Time to Counterattack’ deals additional damage in proportion to the opponent’s attack power.

In other words, the more sincerity the other person puts into it, the greater the loss.

However.

If he made a mistake, Park Shin-hoo could suffer permanent disability or, in serious cases, he could die.

Kang Seo-jun was a little worried about that.

Park Shin-hoo’s death itself doesn’t really matter.

But if Park Shin-hoo is killed, the Taesan Group behind him will be the problem.

If you kill Park Shin-hoo here, there is no way to avoid the investigation.

You may be able to somehow avoid being investigated in the beginning by adjusting your luck, but luck is not an all-purpose stat.

In the end, it will only be a matter of time before the Taesan Group becomes their enemy.

‘If that happens, I have no choice but to give up on entering the academy and take the villain route….’

Kang Seo-jun just hoped that it wouldn’t happen like that.

“This bastard….”

Park Shin-hoo roughly ripped off the necklace and infused it with magical energy.

Then, the necklace started to shine brightly and seemed to become bigger and bigger, and before he knew it, a huge greatsword was held in his hand.

“Ah…”

They even took out the knife here.

A sigh came out of Kang Seo-jun’s mouth.

If this happens, the probability of Park Shin-hoo dying increases even more.

I just want to faint without any trouble, but I don’t have the skill to control my strength….

‘What is it….’

Kang Seo-jun bit his lower lip in embarrassment.

He began to make a new plan assuming that Park Shin-hoo died.

For now, give up on entering the academy and join a villain organization to awaken in a different way….

“Do you regret it now?”

Not knowing Kang Seo-jun’s speed, Park Shin-hoo interpreted his expression with a different meaning.

“But it’s already too late.”

Since Park Shin-hoo has drawn his sword, he will probably strike with the intent to kill.

Because he only believes in the background of Taesan Group and doesn’t care about the background.

‘Ugh…. This is so twisted….’

“You idiot!”

Park Shin-hoo hit the ground and quickly closed the distance,

-Boo!

The huge great sword was slashed down from above.

[Skill ‘Time to Counterattack’ is activated.]

The feeling of time passing slowly.

‘Yes. This is what happened. ‘I can’t help it.’

Kang Seo-jun decided to accept Park Shin-hoo’s death.

At that moment, the air flow in the area changed.

The mysterious flow of luck responded to Kang Seo-jun’s will.

‘Ugh… ?’

Park Shin-hoo’s animal-like instinct also noticed the change.

The moment when the huge sword is dropped on Kang Seo-jun’s head.

The instinctive intuition that something was wrong rushed through my body like a tsunami.

In that ominous tsunami, Park Shin-hoo felt an emotion he had never felt before.

A feeling that I thought I would never have to say in my entire life.

Fear.

Park Shin-hoo felt fear for the first time as she saw her fist rushing fiercely in front of her eyes.

‘Ugh… !’

Park Shin-hoo, who had never once in his life avoided his eyes toward his enemies, finally closed his eyes tightly.

Right after that.

-Cow!

Immediately, a large tremor swept through the area, as if there had been an earthquake.

[Critical hit! The lucky strike hits the enemy’s vital spot!]

“Ah…!”

A woman in a suit was caught between Kang Seo-jun and Park Shin-hoo.

The woman moaned as she held onto Park Shin-hoo’s sword with one hand and took Kang Seo-jun’s fist with her torso.

“Oh?”

The woman who was suppressing the pain by frowning was someone Kang Seo-jun knew.

‘Park Seo-yoon?’

Park Shin-hoo’s older sister and the guild leader of the guild under the Taesan Group.

‘This person is coming out of here?’

Park Seo-yoon is a character who appears only after the middle part.

This is the first time that Park Seo-yoon intervenes in an early-stage event like this.

‘This is a trend I’ve never seen before.’

For Kang Seo-jun, who had played [Grand Hunter Academy] Countless times and had conquered all routes, seeing the flow for the first time seemed a bit confusing.

Is this a correction of abnormal luck? . Or is it the difference between reality and a game? . Either that or an additional route for DLC… ?

A flow that had never been seen in a game confused Kang Seo-jun’s mind a little.

“Hmm….”

[Intelligence: 8]

It doesn’t matter.

However, I soon accepted the situation without thinking about it.

[Will: 30]

Since the game has become a reality in the first place, it is wrong to expect that everything will follow the game.

Besides, it wasn’t like a complete stranger intervened.

This level of variation was at a sufficiently acceptable level.

“You…!”

The one who was shocked was Park Shin-hoo.

“Listen to your senses… You crazy idiot…”

Park Seo-yoon suppressed her pain and glared fiercely at Park Shin-hoo.

“Ugh….”

Park Shin-hoo gritted his teeth with complicated feelings.

I was relieved that Park Seo-yoon came forward in a moment of crisis.

That deeply hurt Park Shin-hoo’s pride.

-Boom!

Park Shin-hoo threw the large sword on the ground as if to vent his anger and went out of the alley.

The gangsters who were lying flat on the floor noticed him and followed him.

“This isn’t a child’s fist…”

Park Seo-yoon looked at Kang Seo-jun while struggling to catch her breath.

Her durability is Grade A.

Even though she was surrounded by her magic power and her self-defense skills, quite a bit of damage was inflicted.

If Park Shin-hoo, who is still inexperienced in using magical power, was hit on the head by this fist….

‘He must be dead.’

However, Park Seo-yoon had no intention of reprimanding her for that matter.

Because it was Park Shin-hoo who drew the sword first.

‘Besides….’

The opponent showed no signs of fatigue even after such a vicious attack.

‘With such a half-broken body, such power and stamina…. It’s unusual. I’m definitely not an ordinary person…. There’s something.’

No matter how much he was a member of the Taesan Group, it was too reckless to recklessly antagonize Gi-in, who was hiding his unknown power and background.

In this world, there are many organizations and people who operate in secret in the dark, even though they are as large as the Taesan Group.

“I’m sorry. My younger brother has caused you great trouble. I will take responsibility for what happened just now and compensate you. This is my business card.”

Park Seo-yoon instead apologized by lowering her head to 90 degrees.

“You’re a new cadet entering the academy, right? I know it’s a bit much, but I don’t want any bad feelings between you and my younger brother to remain as a result of this. I’ll pay close attention to my younger brother as well. I can pay you not only medical expenses but also additional compensation. Yes, if you have any other conditions, we will compensate you as best as possible.”

“Yes…?”

Kang Seo-jun was surprised by the unexpectedly low posture.

Taesan Group is a group that always prefers threats rather than negotiations and violence rather than cooperation.

Even though Park Seo-yoon is the most humane of the Taesan family, she is also a member of the Taesan family.

Whenever the Taesan family proposed negotiations, there was always a clear reason for doing so.

Kang Seo-jun was puzzled because he couldn’t figure out the reason.

But the worries were short-lived.

‘If you don’t know, just find out.’

[Through the eyes of providence, we see through the other person’s inner thoughts.]

A mysterious magic flickered in Kang Seo-jun’s pupils.

‘Under the pretext of compensation…. Access…. Grasp…. Weird…. Eliminate….’

[Perception stops due to lack of mana.]

-Pajik!

“Ugh!”

In an instant, a sharp pain arose as if an awl had been stabbed in my eye.

“…? Are you okay?”

When Kang Seo-jun suddenly frowned and groaned, Park Seo-yoon asked in confusion.

“…Yes.”

Kang Seo-jun gave a rough answer, holding his sore eyes.

‘Just looking at the word, it doesn’t seem to have a good meaning at all. As expected, I had rotten feelings. ‘It’s better not to get involved further here.’

Because I didn’t have enough mana, I couldn’t figure out the specific intention, but this clue was enough to infer the intention.

In the original work, there was nothing good about being involved with Taesan Group from the beginning, perhaps even after the middle.

“There is no need for compensation.”

“Huh? Excuse me, but you look unwell… If you want, I can introduce you to a competent healer and doctor. Of course, I’ll pay all the treatment costs.”

The moment you accept that offer, everything from your abilities to your characteristics will be dissected in the name of a checkup.

And if they find out that he is a good-for-nothing guy, there is a high probability that they will approach him with more vicious violence than negotiation.

“It’s okay. I just want you to forget what I saw today. Then, I’ll just pretend this never happened.”

“Such…”

Even though what has already happened cannot be helped, the best thing to do now was to eliminate as many excuses as possible.

[Intelligence experience increases slightly due to careful judgment!]

And….

‘I’ve already gotten something that can be considered a reward.’

[The constellations are amazed by your efforts!]

[The constellation ‘The Sympathetic Hermit’ sponsors dimensional currency!]

[The constellation ‘Guardian with the Scales’ sponsors dimensional currency!]

The rewards from the constellations were great, but the real reward was different.

Kang Seo-jun looked at Park Shin-hoo’s blood stains on his clothes.

If you have Park Shin-hoo’s blood, you can create a skill that helps you overcome the initial weakness using a disposable combination box sold at a store.

Skill ‘Parasite Growth’

Whether the host was exercising or studying, it was a skill that could eat up some of the experience if the effort bore fruit.

When the host does push-ups, Kang Seo-jun’s arms become stronger, and when he studies, Kang Seo-jun’s intelligence also increases.

Even….

‘Debuff characteristics can also be passed on to the host periodically.’

As time passed, an image of Park Shin-hoo gradually becoming more pitiful flashed through Kang Seo-jun’s mind.

And as he gets sicker, his appearance becomes more and more neat.

The corner of Kang Seo-jun’s mouth twitched without realizing it due to that strange feeling of warmth.

“Uh, um…. That…?”

Seeing Kang Seo-jun like that, Park Seo-yoon got goosebumps for no reason.
