It’s an Academic Fact That Rankers Are Model Students – Chapter 139

Chapter 139: Monster Friends (3)

Kyung-joon immediately checked the Ice Demon Claw he received as a reward.

[Ice Demon Claw]

▶These are magic claws imbued with cold energy.

▶Reduces the target’s all speeds by 20% when attacking, blocking an attack, or deflecting an attack. Afterward, the effect is halved and stacks.

▶20%+10%+5%+2.5%+1.25%+…… Oh! Then, eventually, I can make it feel like infinity percent?! – Cat beastkin whose brain is slightly frozen from handling the cold energy R-

▶Item Grade: Unique

” Ohh. A geometric series claw with a common ratio of 0.5. “

Ice Demon Claw, a sharp claw glove (claw) surrounded by blue energy.

Using the sum formula of a geometric series, which is covered in the 11th grade, it showed a maximum speed reduction effect of 40%.

A 40% speed reduction can reduce the Dimensional Study Room, which has a Time Dilation of 3.75 times, to 2.25 times.

‘I don’t know what kind of player it was, but they dropped an amazing item.’

On the other hand, Kyung-joon gained an amazing item.

” Kkokokokokokok! “

(My best friend! I’ll bring you more good stuff later if I find any!)

[From now on, the spotted deer will bring you items.]

[This relationship will last as long as you maintain a good relationship.]

Thus, the harem king spotted deer expressed his deep gratitude to Kyung-joon and returned to the forest.

On his way back, dozens of females were following him, and it seemed like his life was in full bloom.

Watching from behind, Kyung-joon murmured enviously,

” I wonder if I’ll have days like that if I get into Seoul National University? “

<Is that really the case?>

” Hey. “

<^오^>

There is a saying that even people who couldn’t get a girlfriend or boyfriend will get one when they go to college.

Kyung-joon, firmly believing in that theory, went back to Study Villa to study again.

🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷

After the defense of Luxemb, Kyung-joon’s studies at the end of September were largely divided into three parts.

First was preparing for the midterm exams in mid-October.

He thought it was too early to prepare for the midterms, but he made a promise with Chairman Yoo.

To be honest, it might be too late to start studying now to beat Yoo Seol-ha.

The second study was preparation for the Science Certification Exam, which he always studied for.

He had to keep studying because he might fail the Level 2 exam this time, and if he passed, he would have to take the Level 1 exam.

Especially if he got Level 1, which is the ‘advanced course’ in the first year of university, he would be able to appeal his talent enough in his self-introduction letter.

And the last third was…….

[Triple Horn Wild Boar]

▶A named monster of the wild boar family that inhabits the Sarani Forest. Originally, it has one horn, but its two huge fangs are combined to resemble a trident. It boasts strong charging power due to its high muscle strength, and its tough leather gives it high stamina.

“You’re the one I’m counseling today, right?”

Kyung-joon asked the Triple Horn Wild Boar, looking over the monster description window that Teemo had displayed.

Kyung-joon had become so accustomed to counseling monsters that he was able to speak the boar language quite naturally.

“That’s right, oink! I’m in so much pain every time I pee these days, oink!”

The Triple Horn Wild Boar, a named monster at the end of Whale Forest, complained of pain in front of Kyung-joon.

[Unique Quest 『Triple Horn Wild Boar Who Can’t Pee』 has occurred.]

“Hmm…… It hurts to pee…….”

“That’s right, oink! It burns like fire! I think I’m going to die, oink!”

Kyung-joon continued to look over the monster description window and began to diagnose the problem.

At that moment, one explanation caught Kyung-joon’s eye.

▶Incidentally, Triple Horn Wild Boars love key limes. That’s why the boar meat is very chewy and has no boar taint.

Kyung-joon asked Ceram next to him, narrowing his eyes.

“Ceram, this key lime, is it like a lime or a lemon?”

“Yes, that’s right. The Wild Boars of Whale Forest love key limes more than meat, and they eat a tremendous amount of them every day. Especially Triple Horn Wild Boar eats almost two or three times more than the average Wild Boar.”

Ceram nodded and added an explanation.

“About how much per day?”

“At least a hundred.”

“Wow…… Then, this is it. Kidney stones.”

“Kidney stones…… What do you mean?”

Ceram tilted his head at the unfamiliar word.

Kyung-joon closed the status window and explained.

“It’s a disease where pieces of stone are formed and stuck in the urethra. That’s why it hurts like hell every time you pee.”

“That sounds like a very serious illness.”

“It is. But it’s not a life-threatening disease. The problem is that it hurts like hell even though it doesn’t really affect your life.”

For your information, the pain of kidney stones is said to be beyond imagination.

It is comparable to the pain of childbirth, which is one of the highest levels of pain.

Some even compare it to the burning pain of having a red-hot iron skewer inserted.

In fact, morphine, which is prescribed only to terminally ill cancer patients or amputees, is also injected in hospitals because of this.

“…… It’s a disease I never want to get. But listening to you, it sounds like key limes caused the kidney stones. Is that right?”

“That’s right. It’s probably because of the oxalic acid in key limes.”

“Oxalic acid?”

“Yes, oxalic acid. It’s just a substance found in citrus fruits. It’s not a big deal if you eat a few and accumulate some in your body. But if you eat too much and accumulate too much oxalic acid in your body, you can easily get kidney stones.”

“Oh, that’s interesting information.”

Of course, oxalic acid is found in much higher amounts in spinach than in citrus fruits.

The amount in tangerines is small.

But how many key limes did it eat to get kidney stones?

“Oink! Oink! You guys! Stop talking nonsense and do something about it, oink! Oink!”

The Triple Horn Wild Boar, unable to bear it any longer, cried out even louder as Ceram and Kyung-joon were leisurely exchanging stories.

Perhaps even now, the Triple Horn Wild Boar is still feeling the pain of being stabbed in that area with a burning skewer.

“Okay, okay. I’ll treat you right away.”

“Please, oink! Please, I’m begging you, oink!”

Kyung-joon approached the Triple Horn Wild Boar, which was almost the size of a car, and put his hand on its buttocks.

He seemed to know the exact cure, with no hesitation.

Ceram asked.

“Kyung-joon-nim, did you have knowledge of medicine?”

“Medicine? No, not really. But I can treat kidney stones.”

Kidney stones are extremely painful, but the disease itself is very simple.

Treatment is complete once the stone fragments stuck in the urethra are removed.

Of course, Kyung-joon does not have the surgical skills to cut and suture flesh.

But.

“This much can be removed from the outside without surgery.”

As soon as Kyung-joon said that, mana began to concentrate in his hand.

[Unique skill 『Multi Mana Control: Nano (Lv.3)』 ]

The skill to be used is the same 『mana radiation』 that was used to irradiate the cockroach and Turko before.

But the purpose of this radiation is not to kill living things, but to detect what is invisible.

Just like when he found the hidden magic circle in the Beginner’s Village library.

But to put it more clearly, this is…….

“Teemo, I’m going to take an X-ray now, so spread the detector and calculate it for me from the opposite side.”

Zzzzt.

The X-ray from Kyung-joon’s hand passed through the Triple Horn Wild Boar’s body and reached Teemo.

<-_-7>

<Understood. I will apply the quantum mechanical equations for radiation scattering.>

<Detecting&Calculating…….>

Numerous calculation formulas were flashing through Teemo’s crystal ball.

The purpose of the calculation was one.

To find the 『location of the kidney stone』 in the Triple Horn Wild Boar’s body.

“How is it? Did you find it?”

<ㄴ_ㄴ>

<Several candidates have emerged, but I haven’t been able to narrow it down to one. I need more equations.>

“Okay. Then I’ll lower the X-ray a little bit this time.”

Zwooong.

This time, Kyung-joon lowered his hand slightly and emitted an X-ray.

Again, Teemo received it and calculated it.

“A little lower.”

<•’ – ‘ •)و✧OK>

The above process was repeated dozens of times until the answer was narrowed down to one.

When the X-ray finally circled the Triple Horn Wild Boar’s back and belly and returned to its original position, the answer finally came out.

<Master. I have found the Unique location of the kidney stone. The location error is ±0.034mm.>

“Good. Let’s get rid of it right away.”

Kyung-joon poured mana into the Triple Horn Wild Boar’s body.

The mana reached the exact location of the kidney stone, and soon the nature changed.

[Rare skill 『Transform Magic (Lv.4)』 ]

[Unique skill 『Ultrasonic Vibration Mana Dagger (Lv.3)』 ]

[It vibrates the mana at the designated location at a frequency of 40,000 times per second (waterway).]

“Done……!”

As soon as the status window appeared, Kyung-joon immediately withdrew his mana.

For a moment, he thought he heard something breaking.

That was when it happened.

“Oink, oink…?!”

Dash!

The Triple Horn Wild Boar, hit by a sudden and enormous urge to urinate, ran hurriedly somewhere in the bushes.

And not long after, a very refreshing sound, like “Shhhhhhhh!”, echoed throughout the forest.

“It feels good, oink! It doesn’t hurt anymore, oink! Oink!”

The Triple Horn Wild Boar, who seemed to have relieved himself of all the accumulated pressure, returned after finishing his business.

Kyung-joon chuckled and chided him.

“That’s what happens when you eat so many key limes. Take it easy now. If you don’t want that to happen again.”

“Of course, oink! I don’t want this to happen again, oink! I’ll only eat half as much now, oink!”

“Haha, okay, okay.”

“You’re a good human, oink! You’re a good Kyung-joon, oink! I could even give you my mother’s heirloom, oink!”

[You have successfully cleared the Unique Quest 『Triple Horn Wild Boar Who Can’t Pee』.]

[You have acquired the Triple Horn Wild Boar’s heirloom as a reward.]

“Take it all, oink!”

The Triple Horn Wild Boar gave Kyung-joon a total of three items, as its name suggests.

Bzzt, bzzzt.

” Recording start! “

Currently filming.

And the filming location is somewhere in the Whale Forest.

Right here, where not a single soul can be seen, are two players.

Two cursors float above their heads.

” Hey, CameraMan. Did you put up the warning message? “

Player Rank 37, 『SurvivalKing』, asked 『CameraMan』, ranked 38th.

” Yeah, we’re good to go. “

” Okay. Let’s go then. “

As SurvivalKing spoke, CameraMan manipulated his mana.

The crystal-shaped recording magic stone, which had been floating in the air, then flashed brightly.

” Hello, this is SurvivalKing. “

Recording began.
