Chapter 290: High School Bully Battle (1)
“So, what did you bring me here for this time?”
AngerManagementVodka asked Kyung-joon.
Kyung-joon smirked.
“To get me out.”
🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷
After warping the mana core cultivated with Teina in World.
The basement of Vladivostok, which he visited for the second time.
Creak.
Kyung-joon opened the door with ‘Kyung-joon Lab’ written in Russian and entered.
A huge square, almost 20 times larger than before, greeted Kyung-joon.
“Hey, Team B! How’s the Beta Zone alignment?!”
“It’s perfectly perpendicular to gravity! The error range is within 1 picometer!”
“This is Gamma Zone! We received mana coordinate signals from that world! Both sides have already stabilized the coordinates!”
“Good! Experiment ready! Everyone, keep checking the alignment and receiving coordinates until Kyung-joon arrives!”
“Я знаю! (Got it!)”
Hundreds of illegal scientists and engineers in lab coats were checking and rechecking the giant mana particle accelerator.
“I think I came at the right time.”
Kyung-joon looked up at the giant circular ring accelerator with satisfaction.
Then, a white man with a stooped waist and a graying beard wearing glasses approached Kyung-joon.
“Hehehe…… You came just in time. As you can see, we’re all set.”
“Looks like it.”
“As soon as you send the signal to the other side, we can run the experiment.”
His name is Mikhail Baykov.
He is a renowned physicist in the underworld and a criminal wanted for leaking Russia’s latest military and physics technology to the United States.
Kyung-joon contacted and recruited him through AngerManagementVodka.
He was one of the few people who could quickly understand and accept Kyung-joon’s theories of mana and science.
Mikhail said excitedly.
“Your research! The achievements you’ve discovered! And all the even more shocking things that will happen in the future! I’m so excited I’m going crazy! I was skeptical at first, but I’m so glad I followed you here!”
“Haha, I’ve also learned a lot thanks to Mikhail’s knowledge.”
“Yes! That’s amazing too! You memorized my theories and knowledge as soon as I told you, and even applied them……! I dare say I’ve never met anyone smarter than you!”
“Hahaha. You’re flattering me too much.”
“No, it’s not flattery! You have an over IQ! That means you’re smarter than Einstein, the genius of the century, and even Sadis, who is said to have an IQ of over 300!”
Mikhail was completely smitten with Kyung-joon.
To see the development of science and its end.
That was Mikhail’s only principle of action.
For this, ethics, morals, loyalty, and patriotism didn’t matter to him.
That’s why he leaked his country’s technology to the United States.
And now, he had leaked that technology and the latest American technology back to Kyung-joon.
“Being with you is like watching the end of the world!”
There was no other place to leak the technology to.
Because there was no one more suitable than Kyung-joon to see the end of science.
Wooong.
Kyung-joon focused mana in his hand.
“Ohhh……! That’s mana?! It’s so beautiful……!”
“Let’s go to the Gamma Zone. We have to send a signal.”
“Right! Let’s go!”
The underground plaza here was so large that it took a while to get to the Gamma Zone.
Installing moving walkways and other transportation devices could cause problems with alignment (leveling in optics), so we had to walk.
This was the only time Mikhail could have a deep conversation with Kyung-joon.
“This time, the radius is 20 times larger than the one you made before! That means we can warp almost 400 times more!”
“Well, considering the spatial loss rate, it’s reduced to an average of 255 times.”
“Still, it’s a whopping 70kg! What are you trying to bring from there? It wasn’t written in the project plan, so I was dying to know!”
“Well, there are several candidates. We’re not going to stop warping after just once.”
“Then this time?!”
“I’m going to bring my character from World. I’ve already semi-logged him out.”
“Oh……! I’m looking forward to that! What are you going to do with it? Huh? Huh?!”
Mikhail asked, but Kyung-joon only answered with a slight smile.
Soon both Kyung-joon and Mikhail stopped walking.
Gamma Zone.
There was a huge screen installed there.
When Kyung-joon shot the signal mana he had gathered at the The World access device installed below it.
Pat!
Two people appeared on the screen.
[Half-and-Half Dragon (Humanoid): Hey, Takiki. When is that bastard Kyung-joon coming? This is the 39th time I’ve put out mana, recovered, and repeated.]
[Fairy King: I don’t know. That bastard always makes me wait and is always late, so he’s no different from Huma…… Huh?! K, Kyung-joon! When did you get here?!]
“Just when Fairy King-nim said ‘that bastard’.”
[Fairy King: Ahem! I guess that Huma’s computer thing spoke strangely again. So, can we start right away?]
“I’ll give you a signal like last time. Put all the mana you’ve gathered then. I’m fine, right?”
[Half-and-Half Dragon: Hehehe. Yeah, he’s sleeping well in my arms here. I played a little prank on him while he was sleeping.]
“Good job. It’s in the inventory, right?”
[Fairy King: I kept it safe as you said. It’s just that my space has become more annoying.]
It seemed like everything was ready.
[Fairy King: But why did you put two of you in that world?]
[Half-and-Half Dragon: Yeah, I was wondering. Is there any reason you need two of you in one world?]
“Tell me! I’m dying to know!”
Fairy King, Half-and-Half Dragon, and even Mikhail.
They were all curious about what Kyung-joon (reality) was going to do with Kyung-joon (World).
“Haha.”
Again, Kyung-joon only answered with a laugh.
Tadadadak. Tak, tak!
Kyung-joon manipulated the keyboard a few times and pressed Enter.
Drrrrrrrr!
The giant mana particle accelerator began to operate.
“Let’s go!”
🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷
March 2, 2030, Cheongshin High School entrance ceremony.
And it’s also the day when Kyung-joon, who was a sophomore, goes to a new third-grade class.
“Teemo, say it with your own mouth.”
“He. He. Hello. I’m Teemo. No, I’m Kyung-joon.”
Two men having a strange conversation facing each other at a utility pole near the school gate.
They were so similar in physique, height, and even face that anyone would think they were twins.
No, it’s not even the level of twins, but the level of mistaking them for the same person.
The only difference is that one is in plain clothes and the other is in school uniform.
“Can’t you speak like me?”
Kyung-joon said to Kyung-joon (Teemo).
“I have to move my whole body using only Vector Calculus, so my calculation ability is not enough to add that here. It’s thanks to Master not raising my skill level to 2.”
“What, are you still worried about that? Okay. I’ll clear the job change quest or study it myself and level it up when I have time later.”
“I don’t think I’ll ever have that kind of time, but I understand.”
Wheeing, nod.
Kyung-joon (Teemo) nodded like a robot.
Kyung-joon felt a little uneasy, but he just let it go.
“Keep your earphones on at all times. I’ll ask you questions from time to time. You have no problem displaying the status window even if we’re far apart, right?”
“It’s okay to convey my words and display it. It’ll be a bit difficult if Master leaves Korea.”
“Okay. I’ll be in Korea for the next few weeks anyway.”
Kyung-joon looked around.
“There’s no one here. Cast an illusion spell and release the Isolated System.”
“Yes, I understand.”
Wooong!
Kyung-joon (Teemo) cast an illusion spell on Kyung-joon.
Then, Kyung-joon’s face and body changed to a completely featureless, synthesized average Korean.
And the Isolated System was also released so that others could see, hear, and touch him.
Rustle, rustle.
Immediately after, students who seemed to be going to school were seen flocking in.
“Then take good care of school and home instead of me.”
“I understand. Trust me, Teemo, no, Kyung-joon.”
“Uh…… Yeah, I trust you.”
Thus, Kyung-joon waved to Kyung-joon (Teemo) and disappeared into the alley next to the school gate.
At that time.
Thud!
“Hey! Kyung-joon!”
Kyung-joon’s friend patted Kyung-joon (Teemo) on the back and greeted him.
Tilt.
Kyung-joon (Teemo) began to fall forward with his body stretched out!
“Uh, uh?! Danger……!”
Wheezing, thud!
Kyung-joon (Teemo) stopped moving just before his nose hit the asphalt floor.
And then.
Wheezing, nod!
He stood up straight again, defying gravity.
“Wow, holy shit…… I thought he was a roly-poly doll…… Are you okay?”
Kyung-joon’s friend was surprised by Kyung-joon (Teemo)’s abnormal movements and worried.
“I’m fine. Your name is…… Kim Jin-woo, right? Hello, Mr. Kim Jin-woo. I’m Tee…… Kyung-joon. I’m your friend.”
“What the…… Why are you doing this……? Did you eat something bad?”
Jin-woo was horrified by Kyung-joon (Teemo)’s crazy appearance.
“No. I ate a total of 1,873kcal yesterday, meeting all the necessary basal and active metabolic rates.”
“Holy shit…… What’s with the concept…….”
“It’s not a concept. I, Kyung-joon, have changed a lot during the winter vacation and have been dominated by artificial intelligence, so from today on, I am Kyung-joon.”
“Uh, uh…… Okay…… Stop talking crazy and let’s go in. You and I are in the same class.”
“I understand.”
Kyung-joon (Teemo) started walking after his friend.
Wheezing, nod. Wheezing, nod. Wheezing, nod.
A very smooth, robotic gait.
“Hey…… What are you doing……?”
“I’m walking.”
“Are you still doing the artificial intelligence concept?”
“It’s not a concept. I am Kyung-joon. Kyung-joon is me.”
“Uh, uh…… Okay…… Do whatever you want, Kyung-joon…….”
“Ha. Ha. Ha. Now Kyung-joon is me. Ha. Ha. Ha.”
“…….”
Wheezing, nod. Wheezing, nod. Wheezing, nod.
Kyung-joon (Teemo) walked into the school gate with a strange laugh and a strange gait.
━Look over there, did he get circumcised yesterday?
━He was like that during the finals last time too…… Did he get abducted by aliens or something?
━These days, there’s been a lot of criticism about excessive concept-obsessed people in web novels……
Every time they did, the students on their way to school whispered and looked at them strangely.
“…….”
Jin-woo, Kyung-joon’s friend, was speechless at the sight.
‘Kyung-joon must have gone crazy from studying too much and overworking himself during vacation…… What do I do….’
Jin-woo entered the school gate, following Kyung-joon (Teemo), wondering what to do with his friend who had a mental illness.
🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷
<Reality ↔ World Comparison>
▶Kyung-joon (World): 1
▶Kyung-joon (Reality): 0.213786
▶Remaining lifespan: 51 days 7 hours 22 minutes
.
.
.
After Kyung-joon left Kyung-joon (Teemo) in charge of school and home.
He continued deeper into the alley.
━Hey. Where did Kim Chul-soo, who said he would lend me money with a warm heart after seeing me in trouble yesterday, go? Ah~ Should I hit you a few times before he comes out?
━I’m sorry…… But I already borrowed 253,720 won yesterday…… My dad went out early today, so I couldn’t touch his wallet…….
━Oh my, oh my! Anyone who sees this would think we’re bad guys telling you to steal your dad’s wallet?
Then he soon found the scene of the violence.
Kyung-joon smirked and muttered.
“Found them. Experience points.”
