It’s an Academic Fact That Rankers Are Model Students – Chapter 280

Chapter 280: Who Hunts These Days to Level Up? (2)

Experience Potion.

It’s a very rare yet widespread potion that can only be obtained from the Fairy-Elven Alliance.

The reason it’s rare is because it’s almost impossible to obtain outside of the Fael Alliance.

The reason it’s widespread is because within the Fael Alliance, it’s like a nutritional supplement that everyone takes.

Primarily focused on magical research rather than hunting, experience potions are essential for the Fael Alliance.

Now, it has also become an essential item in the Study Territory, which has become a special autonomous zone of the Fael Alliance.

Player Jumping Event.

The more this grows, the more experience potions will be needed.

Therefore, a large amount of experience potions have already leaked outside the Fael Alliance, and Kyung-joon’s inventory is full of them, allowing him to drink them whenever he’s bored.

Incidentally, this also contributed to the negative public opinion about Fairy King.

Instead of just using the hard-earned experience potions to help other players jump levels, Kyung-joon also needed to jump.

In fact, Parcella just scoffed at Kyung-joon for only being level 176.

Hence, the 『Jet Black Experience Potion』 is born.

[Jet Black Experience Potion]

▶A potion concentrated from hundreds of existing experience potions. The effect has been enhanced through Imprinting. A very ominous energy, the source of which is unknown, can be felt.

▶『Imprinting: Jet Black Experience』 : Upon use, the level immediately increases by 50. As a side effect, experience acquisition is blocked for one month.

▶『Imprinting: For Lv.176 Kyung-joon Only』 : This potion can only be used by Kyung-joon of level 176. Level increases by 50.

▶Item Grade: Epic

Originally, the effect of experience potions becomes harder to see immediately as the level increases.

That exact boundary is level 100.

That’s why the jumping level of the Player Jumping Event is limited to 100.

The moment you go over level 100, the effect of the experience potion rapidly decreases, and from this point on, you need to take it consistently and for a long time, like eating nutritional supplements, to see the effect.

The reason why Fael University students have an average level exceeding 200 is because they have been consistently drinking experience potions every morning like breakfast cereal for decades.

However.

Kyung-joon overcame this.

With what?

Research.

『Experience potion concentration technology inspired by real-world oil refining methods.』

『Ceram’s mystical herb potion technology that selectively designates side effects to enhance the effect.』

『Kyung-joon’s Imprinting technology that allows direct ‘coding’ onto objects for programming.』

『And the price according to the principle of equivalent exchange, Jet Black Power lent by the Demon King.』

In addition to this, genetic mana studies, chemistry, biology, magic healing, and so on…….

All of this combined is this Jet Black Experience Potion.

” This is the…… no, it’s worse than demonic…… What is that ominous potion? You insignificant creature! Don’t try anything! “

Wooong!

Parcella opened his eyes wide and used the 『Dragon’s Eye of Discernment』 again.

At the same time.

Gulp, gulp, gulp!

Kyung-joon gulps down the potion with all his might!

Booaaaaaaaang!

A powerful jet black energy explodes around Kyung-joon.

No, just before that.

[『Parallel Imprinting』 Activated]

[Concealing the jet black.]

[The Imprinting becomes slightly faint.]

Thanks to the Imprinting left by Huma, any potentially problematic parts were completely concealed.

” I can’t even see it with the Dragon’s Eye?! “

Huma’s power could not be easily deciphered even with the Dragon’s Eye.

In the end, Parcella, unable to properly identify the potion.

However.

He could immediately notice one other thing.

” The being’s rank…… has risen……? “

▶Kyung-joon: Lv.176 → Lv.276

Kyung-joon’s level rose by 100 in an instant!

This wasn’t the end.

The real thing started now.

<Confirmed addition of 500 stat points.>

<Investing all 780 points, including the extra 280 stat points, into Agility.>

▶Agility: 699 → 1479

<Confirmed effect change of the mythical skill Dimensional Study Room due to level change.>

▶Time Dilation: 3.76x → 4.76x

Taat!

Kyung-joon kicked off the ground without a word!

” Oh no! “

Parcella sensed the energy and immediately swung his spear.

[Epic Skill 『Gate Spear』

Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa!

The strike, imbued with the Dragon’s energy, Dragon Qi, completely envelops the gate, swallowing everything in front of it.

Saaaaaaaaa…….

The dust from the attack settles.

There was nothing in front.

Neither Kyung-joon, nor the corpse of Kyung-joon that would have been there if he had been hit directly, nor the sound and light characteristic of an otherworlder dying.

In other words, there was nothing but dust.

The moment he confirmed that.

Parcella realized.

” Kugh……! “

That Kyung-joon had already passed through the gate, surpassing him.

” Where does that insignificant creature dare……!! “

Parcella immediately turns around!

There is no greater shame than a gatekeeper turning his back on the gate and chasing inside.

In order to recover from this shame, he had to quickly catch that otherworlder who crossed over…….

That’s when it happened.

” Where are you looking? “

A voice from behind.

There should have been nothing behind him……!

Fwhoosh!

Parcella turns around again!

” ……?! “

As soon as he turned around, he couldn’t help but freeze like a statue.

That’s because Kyung-joon was.

” This weapon is nice and wide. It’s comfortable to stand on. “

Standing triumphantly on top of Parcella’s spear.

Wheeing~

A brief silence followed by a gust of wind.

Thud.

Kyung-joon jumped from the spear and landed back on the ground.

And then.

Looking directly at Parcella in front of him with unwavering eyes, he spoke quietly.

The words are the same as before.

” As the Hero of Canton, bestowed the title of Hero by Fairy King Takiki, I have come to request entry into the Dragonian-Elven Alliance. “

The exact same words as he first said to Parcella, not a single syllable different.

However.

Parcella’s reaction that followed was the complete opposite of the first.

Clank! Creak!

The giant border gate that Parcella was guarding began to open.

At the same time, Parcella shouts loudly.

” Hero recognized by Fairy King Takiki! Pass through! You are worthy of passing through this path! “

Crack, Thud!

Finally, Parcella withdrew his giant dragon spear and plunged it vertically into the ground.

Then the scene in front of them, which had been obscured by the giant spear and the gate, began to unfold before their eyes.

It was the Dragon’s Road.

The vast Dragon Road of the Dragonian-Elven Alliance.

” Well then, good work. “

” ……. “

Parcella just stared straight ahead without saying a word, returning to his gatekeeping posture.

Step.

Kyung-joon took a step into the Dragon Road.

[You are the first player to enter the Dragonian-Elven Alliance.]

[Fame increased by 500.]

Fwoosh!

He then disappeared from sight at an incredible speed, invisible to the naked eye.

” ……. “

Parcella sensed Kyung-joon’s energy completely disappearing.

He continued to guard the front without looking back.

Creak.

The entrance gate leading to the Dragon Road was closing.

Only then did Parcella open his tightly closed mouth and mutter.

” After 700 boring years in the name of peace, an interesting human has finally appeared. “

And so.

After welcoming its first human guest in 700 years, the Dragonian-Elven Alliance.

Clank!

Once again, it tightly shut its borders.

This gate would likely not open again.

At least not until that otherworlder died.

Because, the one who just passed through.

Like Huma, who walked this same Dragon Road 700 years ago.

” A being of the sky doesn’t need a gate. “

Because he would become a dragon and soar across the sky.

🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Kyung-joon soars through the sky at a speed faster than sound, creating sonic booms.

Meanwhile, Kyung-joon was conversing with Teemo about dragons.

” They certainly don’t follow any laws or logic, these guys. “

<But isn’t it surprisingly convenient? We don’t have to engage in bothersome arguments or politics.>

” That’s true. “

How to earn a dragon’s recognition.

It was surprisingly not difficult.

If you simply showed them the power they deemed worthy, right in front of their eyes, they would readily grant you that qualification.

Of course, under the premise that you possess such ‘power’.

<Master. I see Dragon Square.>

” Yes. You’re saying it’s there? Our Fairy King-nim and……. “

<Yes. The leader of the Dragonian-Elven Alliance and the strongest, supreme, ultimate dragon, 『Half-and-Half Dragon』. He will be there.>

The 『Half-and-Half Dragon』, the apex of all dragons.

In the end, there’s only one thing Kyung-joon needs to do.

To be recognized by him.

To show him power worthy of recognition.

To become a hero recognized not only by Fairy King Takiki, but also by him.

Only then will the difficulty of all future diplomatic issues arising in the Humanity Cantons be greatly reduced.

Of course.

The difficulty of achieving that would be insanely high.

<If you fail, the anti-Fairy King faction will further accelerate their impeachment of Fairy King, and regardless of whether the impeachment succeeds or not, the position you’ve built up will plummet.>

” Yes. So I will absolutely not fail. “

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Dragon Square, the plaza of dragons where they are currently engaged in a diplomatic debate with the Fairy King faction.

He needed to go there and confidently prove his worth.

But first, before the strongest, supreme, ultimate dragon, the apex of all dragons, Half-and-Half Dragon…….

<But it seems Master hasn’t even earned the right to stand before him yet.>

” ……I guess so. “

Nearing the end of the Dragon Road, almost at the entrance of Dragon Square.

Taat!

Kyung-joon stopped in the middle.

Because he discovered a ‘wall’ blocking his path.

” ……. “

A legion of elves lined up in a horizontal row.

No, they are not dressed in a manner befitting a legion.

The women are in maid outfits, the men in butler uniforms.

The blend of black and white is reminiscent of a checkerboard.

But what made Kyung-joon unable to let his guard down.

Was the 『Dragon Emblem』 engraved on their foreheads.

These are the 『Dragon Elves』 who have sworn eternal obedience and loyalty to the dragons they serve.

Huma’s computer mentioned that they, who can handle Dragon Qi, are incredibly strong, unlike ordinary elves.

Stepping forward slightly, Kyung-joon spoke to the Dragon Elves blocking his path, words similar to what he said before.

” As the Hero of Canton, bestowed the title of Hero by Fairy King Takiki, I have come to see Half-and-Half Dragon-nim, the leader of the Dragonian-Elven Alliance. “

But as expected.

Their reaction was not favorable.

” Hero recognized by Fairy King Takiki. You may not proceed any further. “

” Hmm……. “

Kyung-joon paused for a moment, observing them.

<It’s difficult to confirm for sure, but they are all at least level 500 or higher.>

<Similar to or perhaps even stronger than Parcella we just passed or TikiTiki, the gatekeeper of the Fael Alliance. Some even remind me of the rampaging Merde during the Magic Tower Virus incident.>

What to do…….

Fairy King-nim is waiting inside.

You have already received the dragon’s recognition from Parcella, their gatekeeper.

―There was no need to say such things.

This is the Dragonian-Elven Alliance.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

Having come here, he must follow the dragon’s law.

From the start, there was only one course of action Kyung-joon could take!

Therefore, just like this.

[Unique Skill 『Sylph Fly – Shadow Step』]

[Mythical Skill 『Dimensional Study Room (Lv.2)』]

Just move forward!

Fwoosh!

Agility close to 1500 and an incredible speed accelerated 4.76 times!

Moreover, unlike with Parcella, the fairy-style body technique ‘quick’ was added, incorporating its unique evasion method!

Swish!

Kyung-joon instantly jumped 100 meters forward and, according to ‘quick’s landing technique, turned around and scraped the ground.

And he was about to say.

『Where are you looking right now?』

However.

” Where do you think you’re going so carelessly? “

” ……! “

A voice similar to what Kyung-joon was about to say came from behind.

Clearly, there were Dragon Elves in front of him who hadn’t seen him.

But now he saw.

They had turned 180 degrees and were facing backwards.

As if to surround Kyung-joon from both front and back.

Thud!

” Cough……! “

Blood spurted from Kyung-joon’s mouth.

[Kyung-joon]

▶HP: ■□□□□□□□□□

Kyung-joon’s HP decreased by nearly 90% in an instant.

Looking down, Kyung-joon saw a claw piercing his abdomen.

<Half-and-Half Dragon’s First Maid>

▼Demi Moitie

” Let me say it again. You may not proceed any further. “

Thud!

The claw was pulled out of Kyung-joon’s abdomen.

[Bleeding Debuff]

[HP continuously decreases.]

[Urgent hemostasis required.]

And then.

Clink.

The sound of a glass bottle dropping on the floor.

[Highest Grade Recovery Potion (Contains 1% True Vampire Blood)]

▶A potion containing 1% of a True Vampire’s blood, said to be able to heal any wound as long as it doesn’t result in death.

▶Grade: Epic

” I will not hold you accountable for your disrespect. Hero recognized by Fairy King Takiki. Recover and return quickly. In your current state, it is disrespectful to even mention His name, let alone see His presence. “

Kyung-joon quickly reached out and picked up the potion at Moitie’s mercy, or rather, not-mercy.

And immediately put the potion to his mouth…….

[Epic item 『Highest Grade Recovery Potion (Contains 1% True Vampire Blood)』 has been added to your inventory.]

He didn’t drink it, but put it in his inventory.

” Thanks for the awesome potion. “

Kyung-joon now had one more thing to research after the experience potion.

In other words.

He got loot.
