It’s an Academic Fact That Rankers Are Model Students – Chapter 15

Chapter 15: Did You Expect Children’s Grades to Improve in This Environment? (1)

[Buffs currently applied]

▶Kyung-joon’s ash tree chair with waist correction: Tenacity +10%

▶Kyung-joon’s Study Villa: Tenacity +10%

” Oh. “

As soon as he sat on the chair, Kyung-joon felt a strange sensation throughout his body.

His hips felt like they were glued to the chair.

Even before, this chair was comfortable to sit on for a long time, but now it was definitely more comfortable.

” I feel like I can study longer. About 20% more than usual! “

<Do you really feel exactly 20%? Interesting.>

<-_-a>

It sounded like a lie, but it was true.

Kyung-joon opened his Korean language textbook for the second grade and began to read.

There was nothing inside but the chair, but the Korean language book read smoothly.

Even though he had to put the book on his lap and bend his head because there was no desk, it was an uncomfortable position, but once he started studying, he felt like he had to finish it.

About 20% more than usual!

[Your Intelligence has increased by 1 through continuous studying..]

” Ouch, my neck hurts. “

As soon as a status window popped up, he immediately straightened his head and stretched.

No matter how much Tenacity buff you have, nothing beats a good posture for studying.

” Anyway, the Tenacity buff was real. This would be a great effect when you don’t feel like studying, right? “

<It is expected to be very effective not only when you don’t feel like studying.>

<Master’s longest continuous study time so far is 2 hours and 47 minutes. If you apply the 20% tenacity buff, it will now increase to nearly 3 and a half hours.>

” I see. It’s a win-win situation whether you don’t feel like studying or not. “

Although Kyung-joon has been steadily studying in the game so far, that doesn’t mean he always enjoyed studying.

Of course, there were days when he didn’t feel like studying at all.

In fact, there were times when he spent more than two hours studying, which he could have finished in an hour.

On the contrary, today, he was so focused that he studied for more than 10 hours a day.

Of course, after that, he was completely discharged and couldn’t sit still for 4 hours the next day.

But what if the Tenacity buff comes in here?

Even if he doesn’t feel like studying, he’ll have to go to the Study Villa and sit down.

Because his 20% increased tenacity will suppress his reluctance to study and make him move his hands!

Not only when you don’t feel like studying.

The effect of the Tenacity buff will be even greater on days when you are in good shape to study.

If you are in a condition to study for 5 hours today, after receiving the Tenacity buff of 20%, it increases to 6 hours, which is 1.2 times that.

If it’s 10 hours, it will be 12 hours, and the longer you study, the more efficient the Tenacity buff will be.

” When the Tenacity buff becomes 50%, 100%, I think I can just become a complete studying machine? “

Kyung-joon shouted and went out to the yard outside the Study Villa.

It wasn’t because he thought he could play a little more because of the Tenacity buff.

” Desk! Let’s make the desk really good and take advantage of the Tenacity buff. “

There was only a chair, no desk yet.

” If you’ve made up your mind, you have to act right away. Teemo, help me. “

<As you command.>

< (･o･)ゞ>

Kyung-joon immediately took out the materials from his inventory.

Ash wood lumber that had been sufficiently logged to build the Study Villa.

It is a type of hard wood, and the wood is hard and does not bend or break easily.

Kyung-joon made a chair with this, and also made a log house called Study Villa.

And now he was thinking of making a desk.

[General skill 『Basic Carpentry (Lv.6)』 ]

[Work is in progress by consuming the durability of the wood.]

※When the durability of the wood reaches 0, the wood is destroyed.

Woo woo woo.

A blue saw was caught in Kyung-joon’s hand.

He skillfully grabbed it and began cutting the wood into the shape he wanted.

Sarak, sarak!

When Kyung-joon first experienced the work, he broke countless pieces of wood.

But it’s different now.

His hand skills honed while making chairs and Study Villa!

[The work has been completed with minimal durability consumption.]

[Increases the probability of a high grade work being produced upon completion.]

Kyung-joon finished working on the wood with the least amount of durability he had ever worked on.

Next is the processing stage.

[General skill 『Basic Woodworking (Lv.5)』 ]

[Processing is in progress by consuming the durability of the wood.]

※When the durability of the wood reaches 0, the wood is destroyed.

This processing stage was the most important.

This is because wood has a fixed durability for each wood, and the time when the most durability is consumed is the processing stage.

[Processing has been completed with minimal durability consumption.]

[The probability of a higher grade work being produced upon completion is further increased.]

However, Kyung-joon has already consumed minimal durability even at the work stage.

For Kyung-joon, who was trained in both theory and practice, the processing stage was like chewing gum.

[General skill 『Basic Patching (Lv.5)』 ]

[Restores the lost durability of wood.]

The last is patching work.

It is the process of combining the materials that have been worked and processed and increasing the consumed durability again.

Once this is done, the desk you were aiming for will be completed.

” First of all, the bronze ingots and beeswax needed for the combination……. “

<Master. Aren’t you going to put the spirit’s energy in this time?>

” Ah! I almost forgot. Bangwool! “

[Summon Water Spirit]

▶You can summon a water spirit. The rank of the spirit depends on the skill level.

[A lower water spirit, Undine (Bangwool) has been summoned.]

━Mumul!

[Bangwool bows his head, saying hello.]

” Yes, nice to meet you too. “

Kyung-joon stroked Bangwool’s moist water drop head here and there.

Bangwool also reacted to this and rubbed his head hard.

” Bangwool, can you put some spirit energy in this wood? Like we did before. “

[Bangwool nods his head, saying he understands.]

” Thank you. “

As soon as Kyung-joon’s words of gratitude were over, Bangwool stood on top of the wood.

Swoosh, splat!

Bangwool instantly turned into a liquid and dived into the wood.

Then, Bangwool, who was moving around the wood in a liquid state, contained the spirit’s energy.

At the same time, Kyung-joon felt the mana drain from his body.

[The wood is imbued with the energy of the water spirit.]

[A special effect is activated upon completion.]

[Water affinity has increased by 1.]

As soon as Kyung-joon confirmed that Bangwool’s work was finished, he went back to patching.

The process of attaching and trimming processed wood using beeswax and nails.

It wasn’t long before he was able to complete all the processes.

[Rare work completed.]

[Dexterity increased by 5.]

[If your work becomes known to people, there is a low chance that your fame will increase.]

[『The effect of Infinite Reading (Lv.2)』 gives a special effect to the work.]

[Kyung-joon’s Unshakable Ash Desk]

▶The second masterpiece made by Kyung-joon, a novice carpenter. It contains the determination to never let the desk shake. It is imbued with the energy of the water spirit, which soothes both body and mind.

▶When used with a chair imbued with the spirit’s energy, the chair’s HP/MP recovery function is added by 5% per minute.

▶Tenacity +10% when used by Infinite Knowledge Seeker

▶Item Grade: Rare

An unshakable desk!

Usually, when you change seats at school, there is a high probability that you will end up using a wobbly desk.

The same goes for changing the desk to something else.

In the first place, most school desks are old and not properly replaced.

Kyung-joon hated this so much when he was in school.

He wanted to make sure it wouldn’t wobble as much as when he made the desk himself.

So he spared no wood and made it much heavier than a normal desk.

He worked even more meticulously on the legs of the desk.

” Alright! It doesn’t shake! It’s the same rare grade as a chair! “

<Congratulations. It’s not easy to make a rare grade work with ordinary materials, but it seems that your skills have improved a lot.>

” Yes. Believe it or not, I studied and practiced a lot. Let’s install it quickly. “

Kyung-joon put the finished desk in his inventory with great joy.

Now all he had to do was arrange it with the chairs in the Study Villa.

A house that blocks the rain!

A desk to put books on!

And a chair to sit on!

In fact, the basic elements of Study Villa were all in place.

It was when Kyung-joon was trying to place the desk and chair somewhere in the middle.

<Master, I’m a bit of an expert at arranging desks and chairs.>

” Oh, really? How can I arrange it better? “

<I heard that humans have been wary of entrances from the beginning. Therefore, if you turn your back on the entrance, that is, the door, you will inevitably become anxious. On the other hand, even if there is a door right in front of you, you will be more conscious of it.>

<So the best desk placement is to face the door to the side and have your back to the wall.>

” Oh, I’m sure that would be more comfortable. The corner is the truth. “

Kyung-joon arranged the desk and chair so that he could face the door from the side while in the corner, just as Teemo had said.

┌──────Door───┐

[You have chosen the right desk/chair arrangement for studying.]

[Bonus is attached to the Tenacity buff.]

[Buffs currently applied]

▶Kyung-joon’s ash tree chair with waist correction: Tenacity +10%

▶Kyung-joon’s Unshakable Ash Desk: Tenacity +10%

▶Desk/chair placement bonus: Tenacity +10%

▶Kyung-joon’s Study Villa: Tenacity +10%

” Wow! A 10% bonus! Teemo, you’re amazing! “

<I just did what I had to do as someone who serves the Master.>

<^O^>

The original 20% Tenacity buff was instantly doubled to 40% with the desk placement.

Tenacity increased by 40%!

In terms of numbers alone, it was no different from the limit that he could normally study being expanded by 40%.

” I got a feeling. Today is the day to study without rest. “

Even if he couldn’t sleep today, he was thinking of studying to the limit.

How many hours in a row can I study?

Kyung-joon sat down at his newly made desk and began to study, with all his hopes pinned on the 40% increase in tenacity.

🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷

The next day.

Kyung-joon was waiting for the first period with slightly tired eyes.

” Yawn~ “

It was because he couldn’t get much sleep because he studied at the Study Villa until late yesterday.

But yesterday couldn’t be helped.

The effect of the 40% increase in tenacity was so great that he couldn’t stop studying in the middle.

‘A record of 4 hours and 3 minutes. I finally passed 4 hours.’

Maximum continuous study time!

Kyung-joon devoted himself to studying for nearly 4 hours yesterday without a break.

It was his first time in his life.

He had never studied for such a long time without a break.

Even college students have a 1 hour and 15 minute class per class and take a break, but studying for nearly three times that amount of time without a break!

It was all thanks to the Study Villa’s Tenacity buff.

The school bell rings.

The bell rang, signaling the first period math class.

” Okay, let’s start math for the first period. “

The first period math teacher came in a while after the bell rang.

Thump!

Then, on top of the teacher’s desk, he piled up a pile of papers that he had never seen before, as well as textbooks.

” ……Teacher, what is that? “

” Worksheets? “

” Delivering a notice to parents instead of a homeroom teacher? “

” Are you all curious about what this is? “

The math teacher asked the students with a creepy smile.

” Oh, no. Not curious. “

” Hehehe……! “

” Is that……? “

” Ah, please……! How long has it been since then?!”

” Teacher! No! “

” Woohoohoo……! “

The math teacher just kept laughing like a demon lord despite the students’ continued horror.

He suddenly stopped laughing and then said to the students with a very bright expression.

” Today, I brought a very interesting homework assignment. Everyone, do you have enough stored creativity? “
