It’s an Academic Fact That Rankers Are Model Students – Chapter 133

Chapter 133: Scientific Expansion of Farmland (2)

” Oh. I’m fine? “

Kyung-joon nodded his head in satisfaction that his infamy had not increased.

On the other hand, Mod, who had suddenly become the Spirit of Destruction from a gentle spirit, was so bewildered.

━Huueeee!

[Mod protests his misconception!]

” Haha, how about it? Destruction is good, good. Let’s just crash! Let’s destroy everything. “

Kyung-joon gave Mod mana again with a ghastly smile.

Of course, it was not ordinary mana, but mana engraved with the calculation formula of R-wave.

━Heuk?!

[Mod says he can’t accept such evil mana!]

” Kkk! Are you going to refuse in front of this destructive power? No! Impossible! “

Kyung-joon approached Mod, giggling like a demon.

One step, two steps.

And three steps.

” Khh, Mod. Take it when you can, and when you’re told to. With this mana, destroy everything in front of you that bothers you……! Hahaha! “

━Huueee……!

[Mod shakes his whole body!]

Mod trembled with his whole body made of dirt and swallowed the dirt.

At that time, he heard Liant’s urgent cry.

” Lord! A pack of brown wolves has appeared! “

” Oh, is that so? “

Kyung-joon, who returned from the evil demon’s voice to his original emotionless voice.

” Uh, um…… “

Liant seemed to have something to say first to Kyung-joon.

” What’s wrong? Don’t you want me to catch a wolf? “

If he had been the ‘village head of Ria Village’, he would have asked him to get rid of the wolves for the villagers.

With a terrified look on his face.

However.

Liant’s expression was not terrified at all.

Rather, he shouted in a confident voice.

” We’ll catch it ourselves! Please allow it! “

” Please allow us! “

Not only Liant but also other residents come forward.

Kyung-joon smiled slightly and nodded, saying it was a good change.

” You want to? Then please. “

” Yes! I’ve been ordered! “

The residents of ‘Study Village’ did not run away or ask for help even after seeing the wolf.

Rather, they said they would take care of it themselves.

How?

Their bodies soon begin to glow blue.

This is the color of mana.

Residents with mana all over their body shout at the same time.

” Everyone in the village! Let’s go! One, two, three, Energy Bolt! “

” Energy Bolt! “

Peppepupeng!

107 Energy Bolts fired by 107 residents rush toward the brown wolf group at once.

Villagers who would have been nothing more than punching bags everywhere suddenly use magic!

It was unimaginable in an ordinary human village.

But it’s only natural for the residents of the study estate.

This is because Kyung-joon has been increasing their mana by tinkering with their mana circuit for several months.

” Grrr?! “

The brown wolves were greatly embarrassed by what was impossible.

Boom boom boom!

He couldn’t come to his senses from the Energy Bolt that rushed in at the same time.

Pewpew!

Pewpew!

Pew!

Following that, a few more minutes of additional shooting.

” Brown wolf, we’ve got it all sorted out! “

” It’s done! “

The residents cleaned up all the other wolves that had flocked to the smell of blood.

Kyung-joon kept his hands off at this time.

He didn’t help at all, he just watched.

A battle made up of only residents.

Nevertheless, the appearance of the residents without a single injury was comparable to that of skilled wizards.

[Fezun’s level has risen.]

[Liant’s level has risen.]

[Rex’s level is…….]

▶Average Level of Residents: 21.4

” Oh! My level has risen! I’ve crossed level 20 for the first time in my life! “

” I’m going to level up soon, too. “

” Let’s take care of the wolf carcasses. It’s a wolf meat party in the village today! “

” Isn’t wolf meat a little tough? “

” Then we can put some mana in it and make it soft. I think it’ll work similar to when we made bread. “

” Oh! That’s a good idea! “

It has already been three months since the villagers came to Kyung-joon’s Study Villa and worked.

The residents, who received various knowledge from Kyung-joon, starting with magic, have become so competent.

It was okay if Kyung-joon didn’t have to order everything.

They were fully capable of judging and resolving the situation.

Residents who can move proactively.

‘Now you seem to be handling mana well enough.’

It wasn’t like he just watched them mindlessly as they used Energy Bolt to fight the wolves.

He watched everything as if he was supervising how they handled mana.

The result is very satisfying.

They have become able to freely apply and use mana whenever they cook, farm, craft, build, bake, and fight monsters like they just did.

It also had stats to match its capabilities.

[Average stats of residents]

▶Strength: 213.7 Agility: 59.5 Intelligence: 198.1 Stamina: 204.8 Mana: 236.3

” Now it’s worth using. “

Study village residents with all stats hovering in the 200s except for agility!

This is because they were all formally taught by Kyung-joon, who has the mythical skill Infinite Reading.

Of course, it didn’t mean that they would grow like this just because they were taught.

All Kyung-joon did was remove the limitations of talent so that they could get results as much as they worked.』

If they hadn’t tried, this would never have happened.

The residents just reaped what they sowed.

Kyung-joon just pushed their backs a little.

” Lord! We’re done cleaning up the bodies! You can cover the ground again! “

” Okay. “

If you put in effort, wouldn’t Kyung-joon also put in the effort?

‘So I can’t lose in terms of effort!’

” Mod, you heard that, right? Let’s go again. “

Of course, Mod is!

━Hueee…….

[Mod says it’s mentally and magically difficult to use that magic again.]

” No, it’s not hard. I know. “

Kyung-joon unconditionally injected mana into Mod.

As expected, it is not ordinary mana, but special mana engraved with the calculation formula of R-wave.

[Unique skill 『R-wave』 ]

[A strong surface wave earthquake destroys the ground ahead.]

Mod started plowing the ground again, groaning 『Heuuugh……』.

Dig, dig, dig!

So Kyung-joon continued to plow the land and moved on.

East, east.

[The level of Rare skill 『Summon Earth Spirit』 has increased to 6.]

[The level of Rare skill 『Transform Magic』 has…….]

[The level of Unique skill 『Multi Mana Control: Nano』 has…….]

How much time had passed?

Crackcrack!

He had been moving eastward, continuously tilling the land.

Thud!

Suddenly, with the sound of a tree breaking, Mod stopped.

Whirr……

Beyond the settling dust, a forest could be seen.

“A forest?”

As Kyung-joon tilted his head in curiosity, Teemo immediately answered his unspoken question.

<-_-a;>

<It seems you were too passionate about plowing the land. We’ve reached the edge of Whale Forest.>

“Ah, Whale Forest? The one connected to the eastern part of the Beginner’s area?”

<Yes, that forest.>

Southeast of Beginner’s Village, where Kyung-joon had his residence.

If one were to go straight east from the plains there, they would reach the edge of Whale Forest.

Going further in would lead them through the tail, lower body, middle body, upper body, and finally to the head of Whale Forest.

It was said that various monsters, including several Orc tribes, lived in tribal societies within the main area of Whale Forest.

“Gasp, huff! L, Lord!”

The villagers finally caught up to Kyung-joon.

His agility, now close to 700, was simply too fast for others to keep up with.

Catching his breath, Liant asked Kyung-joon.

“Lord, do you intend to turn all this vast land into farmland?”

Looking back for a moment, Liant seemed doubtful.

The land they had just recklessly expanded was simply too vast to be used entirely for farming.

In terms of size alone, it was several times larger than their previous territory.

It wouldn’t be an issue if they had enough manpower, but the current population of Study Villa was only 107.

It was an unmanageable size.

“For now, let’s just surround it with Energy Towers and fences as much as possible. We’ll gradually expand the rest according to the situation.”

“Yes, I think that would be wise. Then, shall we begin the work immediately?”

“Yes, that would be good. Let’s finish it quickly together.”

Just as Kyung-joon was about to join the villagers, Teemo sensed something.

<Master, multiple life forms have been detected at the edge of Whale Forest.>

“Huh? How many?”

<I believe it’s not ‘many,’ but rather ‘heads.’>

‘Heads’ meant that there was a high probability that they were not humans, but monsters.

<They are a bit far, so I need them to be within 50m, my effective identification range, for proper identification. They have been gathered in one place and haven’t moved for a while now.>

“……Are they planning an ambush?”

Hearing Teemo’s words, Kyung-joon pondered for a moment on how to respond.

His contemplation didn’t last long.

“Liant, I’ll leave the rest to you. I’m going to go check out the forest.”

“Yes, please return safely.”

Sending Liant and the villagers ahead, Kyung-joon slowly approached the forest, concealing his presence as much as possible.

“Wait, you said monsters, not people, right?”

<Yes. Considering their size, that’s highly likely. Since it’s a forest, I assume they are animal-type monsters.>

In that case, their senses, like smell and hearing, would be extremely sharp.

Chak. Chakchak.

Kyung-joon smeared soil all over his body.

This would mask his scent.

However, the sound he made while approaching was still a problem.

Of course, there was a way to erase that as well.

“Teemo, send me the data from the mana↔sound wave conversion formula we organized before, in real-time.”

<Yes, sir.>

Kyung-joon began to move slowly, his entire body enveloped in mana.

Soon, the data calculated by Teemo was transmitted to his mana, and Kyung-joon immediately manifested it with magic.

The principle was almost the same as when recording the sound of raindrops, or using voice modulation.

Woooong.

The mana surrounding his entire body was slowly consumed and transformed into sound.

The sound of footsteps on grass.

The sound of breathing.

The sound of swallowing.

The sound of clothes rustling, etc.

It emitted sounds perfectly identical to those made by Kyung-joon as he walked, spreading them around him.

The amplitude, frequency, and even the waveform representing the timbre were all exactly the same.

But there was just one difference.

The phase.

Sounds with opposite phases began to spread around Kyung-joon.

[You have learned the Rare skill 『Sound Blocking』 on your own.]

[10 hours have been added to the Dimensional Study Room.]

The sound of mana and the surrounding sounds overlapped.

The two sounds interfered with each other and canceled out.

In the end, only silence remained.

――.

―――.

He walks.

But there is no sound.

Even the dirt on his body falls off with a thud, but no sound can be heard.

As if the volume of a movie had been turned down to zero.

Kyung-joon continued walking.

<Master, let’s hide behind that tree and observe the situation.>

Kyung-joon nodded silently and hid behind the tree.

Then, he carefully peeked his head out to check the situation.

“……!”

Kyung-joon’s face was filled with astonishment as he witnessed the scene behind the tree.

“What in the world is going on……?”

Kyung-joon couldn’t help but be dumbfounded by the utterly absurd situation.
