It’s an Academic Fact That Rankers Are Model Students – Chapter 126

Chapter 126: I Want to Make Money on YouTube Too

━Well…… there’s no other way but to completely eliminate the whole body and regenerate it. Their whole body has become a lump of radiation. They will forever suffer from radiation exposure unless they replace their body with a new one. As a player, you can just die and come back to life.

━Well, if they receive treatment from a priest every hour of every day, they might be able to continue their crappy life with that radioactive body. I’d rather die, though.

━How is it? Do you understand?

‘There’s no way I can understand……!’

No, there was one thing he understood.

That Kyung-joon could wipe out not only Luxemb but also other kingdoms without a trace if he wanted to.

Kyung-joon possessed the worst curse that could make this a reality.

In a way, maybe calling it the Demon King’s curse wasn’t entirely wrong.

To Firma, Kyung-joon was no different from a real Demon King.

‘……Did our Luxemb really join hands with the Demon King?’

But it was already spilled water.

The Pandora’s Box has been opened.

Since they were on the same boat, there was no choice but to trust the captain.

‘One thing’s for sure.’

Everyone in the Holy Cross Empire, including Luxemb, the Kingdom of Francois, and the Kingdom of Deutschland.

This place will surely become a chaotic mess within a few years.

Whether it’s war, the Demon King’s curse, or the real Demon King’s curse, whatever it may be.

At the center of the chaos, there will surely be that guy, Kyung-joon.

‘At least it’s fortunate, or maybe a huge opportunity…….’

At least Luxemb was extremely lucky compared to other kingdoms.

Because they were able to step into the eye of the approaching storm in advance.

[Consignment Chatroom]

▶BJMiguning: Hello~ Kyung-joon-nim~

▶Kyung-joon: Hello.

Tapping. Click-clack.

BJMiguning was manipulating her smartphone in reality to send a message.

▶BJMiguning: What should we do with the video recorded on the broadcast? If you allow me to edit and post it, I’ll upload it to YouTube as usual, and if you refuse, the video will be deleted from the system right away.

▶BJMiguning: The video will be kept fully mosaic-censored, and your name will be kept private. As per the consignment contract, 100% of the video revenue and donations go to Kyung-joon-nim!

▶BJMiguning: What do you think?ㅎ-ㅎ I think it’s gonna be a big deal if I upload this~

▶Kyung-joon: Go for it.

“What a cool guy.”

BJMiguning laughed senselessly and operated the computer.

Ding!

As soon as she turned on the computer, a notification popped up.

[The World Message]

[ 『Kyung-joon』 has allowed the editing and posting of the video recorded on 2029-09-08.]

“Huh? Already? He works really fast.”

BJMiguning played the video first before editing.

Then, the fierce battle between Kyung-joon and BlackChef was played back.

The duration of the battle was exactly 3 minutes.

But within those 3 minutes, all the joys, anger, sorrows, and pleasures that could be felt in battle were contained.

“Okay. Let’s go edit~”

BJMiguning first wrote a storyboard before cutting and pasting the video shot by Kyung-joon and the video she shot.

『The video begins with BJMiguning bleeding and running away from BlackChef.

Then she accidentally discovers an intense light.

Drawn to it, she finds a player in beginner clothes named Kyung-joon.』

“Oh, it’s mosaic-censored, so it’s too much to reveal his name in the subtitles.”

BJMiguning changed all Kyung-joon in the storyboard to ‘him’.

『He was standing there without a scratch, surrounded by the bodies of all kinds of mutated monsters.

BJMiguning tried to give him a powerful buff in exchange for her life.

And she was about to ask a favor.

She wanted to ask him to kill the crazy bastard BlackChef chasing her.

But guess what.』

“Haha. I’ve never seen anyone avoid a buff in my life.”

『Viewers added hilarious comments to that.

BJMiguning was so dumbfounded that she went ballistic and then got her head split in half by BlackChef’s Chinese kitchen knife flying from behind and died.

The video seems to end with a blackout.』

“Yes. This is where it gets real.”

『Static, static.

Suddenly, the point of view of the video changes.

Not from BJMiguning’s point of view, but from his point of view.

To borrow a phrase from a novel somewhere.

That was the moment.

The genre of the broadcast changed.

━Okay. I’ll take the mission.

A movement that no ranker could imitate.

Defense as if he had anticipated where the opponent’s attack would come from.

An attack without a moment’s hesitation, as if moving according to a set scenario.

The worst PK player who terrified all players, BlackChef.

He treated BlackChef like a marionette with strings.』

“And then…….”

『Blood splattered, but it was all BlackChef’s blood.

Of course, it seemed like BlackChef, who endured this tremendous offensive for 3 minutes, was no ordinary human being…….

He was no match for Kyung-joon, who played with all this like the palm of Buddha’s hand.』

“Oh, here’s another twist.”

『At that time.

━Strange? His HP is definitely 0? Now that I think about it, his body hasn’t disappeared yet…….

A small gap he created with his overwhelming victory!

BlackChef broke through everyone’s expectations and counterattacked!

The moment everyone expected him and BlackChef to perish together.

Bang!

━You won’t lay a finger on the boy……!

Ranker 6th, DPSPaladin, appeared like a comet!

With his sudden appearance, the video becomes even more heated.

BlackChef was cleanly taken care of without any further ado.

After that, the video ends with a slightly funny conversation between the two and cleaning up the mutated monsters!』

“Phew…… I never dreamed that they knew each other.”

BJMiguning had been on party hunts with DPSPaladin quite a few times as she was also a ranker.

But she had never heard of Kyung-joon from him.

“I’ll have to go and ask him myself later~ It’s going to be great content, right? Hehe.”

BJMiguning smiled to herself and started editing the video.

“Ah!”

She suddenly remembered one of the most important facts.

“Items! Now that I think about it, I didn’t receive the dropped items?!”

BJMiguning immediately connected to the consignment chatroom on her phone and sent a message to Kyung-joon.

[Consignment Chatroom]

▶BJMiguning: Hey Kyung-joon-nim~ Now that I think about it, I dropped a unique item after I died…… Did you pick it up by any chance, the Fantasy Pine Mandolin?

▶BJMiguning: If you picked it up, could you please return it to me? I’ll give you a small reward.ㅎ-ㅎ; It was given to me by a fan and it’s very expensive……ㅠㅠ

“Haha…… He wouldn’t take it from me, would he? He’s so strong?”

Trembling.

Contrary to her words, she trembled, holding her phone in her hand, and fidgeted.

Ding!

“It’s here!”

Fortunately, the reply came very quickly.

BJMiguning quickly checked the reply.

But soon, a question mark appeared in her eyes.

▶Kyung-joon: ^오^

The reply ended with a single emoticon.

“What, what is this……? What is he implying?”

What did this unidentifiable emoticon mean?

Did it mean he wanted her ears cut off?

“Hmm…… What is it really?”

In the end, she had to wait until the next day for Kyung-joon’s additional reply.

“Oh, my God! Why isn’t he replying! And what is ^오^ supposed to mean?! You crazy $%^%^&@!”

BJMiguning stayed up all night wondering what Kyung-joon’s emoticon meant.

🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷

A video was uploaded to YouTube and became a hot topic.

[Subject: Honestly, if you can’t even do this, you should quit the game lol]

BJMiguning defending against BlackChef

━Wait, why is BlackChef in this video clip?

━BJMiguning uploaded it?

━Did they do a collab together?

━No way, with BlackChef? Crazy?

━What’s with the clickbait title?

People were drawn to the clickbait title and clicked on the video.

The title suddenly said that if you’re not good enough, you should quit the game, so they couldn’t help but click on it, even though it made them feel uncomfortable.

Click.

The page refreshed.

And then, the introduction below the video.

▶BJMiguning: Ah…… I’ll go quit first lol Thanks everyone for your support! Have a great month!

BJMiguning’s words completely erased the uncomfortable feeling they felt from the clickbait title.

Now, all the uncomfortable feelings have turned into curiosity and wonder.

What kind of video could make BJMiguning say she’s going to quit the game herself?

People became even more intrigued and started watching the video.

A very short video, less than 5 minutes long.

But its power was enormous.

━Lol

━ (Roughly a cone with its mouth open)

━Wow, I’m speechless lololol

━Can’t stop laughing lololol

━Wait, is that even possible? How did he dodge that?

━Seriously, how did he block that……

━How did he even attack like that;;

━That guy is from the galaxy…… Not even heavenly, but galactic……

━Galaxy my ass lololol

This short but unbelievably insane video recorded an insane average view rate of 98% as soon as it was uploaded.

This means that 98 out of 100 people who clicked on the video watched it to the end!

Considering that the minimum benchmark for a video to go viral is usually 70%, this was a truly astonishing figure.

Thanks to the YouTube algorithm god’s selection, Kyung-joon’s video was continuously recommended, and those who saw it couldn’t help but exclaim in awe.

━Wow…… How much agility do you need to move that fast?

━Even BlackChef is barely reacting.

━Looking at this, BlackChef seems like a total noob.

━No, it’s not that BlackChef is bad, it’s just that the mosaic guy is not human.

━Seriously not human lol

━Wow, there was a player like that in World? And he’s not even a ranker?

━Yeah, he’s not a ranker, but his skills have already surpassed the rankers.

━Seriously, everyone except that guy should quit the 200 million player game lolol

Kyung-joon was also watching this video.

“The editing is really good.”

The source material was good, but her excellent editing skills also played a part.

『Pssh!』

The scene where BlackChef gets stabbed in the stomach was taken from behind and placed right at the beginning of the video.

Whether you knew BlackChef or not, it was a structure that made you focus on the video from the first second.

Then, the usual intro would play, building up the suspense.

『I was being chased.』

The video unfolds with meaningful narration.

After that, it’s all familiar.

Right after the slightly funny and sad happening of BJMiguning’s head being split in half, the battle scene begins without delay!

There was no editing in the battle scene.

If there was any, it was just minor camera position and angle changes.

The battle scene that Kyung-joon had with BlackChef was so perfect that it didn’t need any editing.

It was thrilling.

It was elaborate.

The gradually building satisfaction.

And the catharsis of it all collapsing.

“Being a YouTuber…… well, a streamer is a bit different, but this is something I could try.”

Kyung-joon muttered as he watched the video.

If he put his mind to it, he felt like he could film content that would get a lot of views.

For example, the kind of handyman content you often see on YouTube.

『Today, I made ~~ with ~~.』

Things like that.

Making something with professional skills seemed to give viewers a great sense of satisfaction and accomplishment.

“It wouldn’t be bad to do something like, ‘I made an air conditioner in World,’ right?”

Kyung-joon muttered to himself as he looked at his smartphone.

[Consignment Chatroom]

▶BJMiguning: Hello? Are you there? ^오^? Helloooo???

▶BJMiguning: Why aren’t you answering ㅠㅠ Are you busy? Is that it?

▶BJMiguning: Hey!! I saw you disappear for a second! You’re watching, aren’t you? Don’t underestimate me! I’m a million subscriber YouTuber! If I put my mind to it……!!

▶BJMiguning: Sigh…… Fine, I’ll be generous. You want a reward for keeping my items safe, right? I’ll let it slide just this once, okay? So, how much do you want?

▶BJMiguning: ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

▶BJMiguning: ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠPlease answer meeee ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

“Denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance…… She’s in the depression stage now.”

BJMiguning was currently in the depression stage of the five stages of grief.

Kyung-joon was amazed to see it unfold exactly as the theory described.

He was writing something on a piece of paper on his desk.

『Psychology 2nd Semester Assignment』

『The 5 Stages of Grief and Real-World Examples』

『Cheongshin High School 2-7』

Kyung-joon was writing his assignment report for next Monday in advance.

BJMiguning was an excellent reference point for this.

“Now, the depression stage is over, so to move on to the acceptance stage…….”
