Chapter 200: Survival Magix Battle Ground
< (ｰ̀εｰ́ )>
<Didn’t I tell you? Being a professor is awesome.>
“You’re right, it’s really awesome.”
The effect of Sever’s professor badge was much greater than expected.
Come to think of it, even if it’s a different department, once a Fael University professor, you’re a Fael University professor for hundreds of years.
Even if they are human, if they are chosen as a Fael University professor, they will live much longer than other ordinary humans.
At least as long as an elf, the safety officer fairy was guessing.
‘The fact that a human looks so young means he’s just around 20 years old…… He must be a professor with incredible talent……!’
Whether the talented professor in front of her was a professor in our department or another department, it wouldn’t do any good to be noticed now.
In this day and age, called the era of collaboration, you never know when you’ll meet again.
“Haha, I thought you didn’t know about the festival because you were so busy with your research~ But, professor~ Are you sure you’re not upset that I pushed you around just now~? Hmm?”
The safety officer fairy was still flying around in a figure eight, flattering Kyung-joon.
“Hmm.”
Originally, Kyung-joon was thinking of showing Sever’s professor badge and explaining the whole situation like he did to the former gatekeeper TikiTiki.
“Oh, professor~”
But seeing the student flattering him like this in front of him, he felt a sense of satisfaction for some reason.
The power that calls for money, fame, and love, the ultimate power of the age of intellect!
‘If I really become a Fael University professor, will I be treated like this every time I walk around the campus? This is why people keep talking about power…’
The feeling of power he felt for the first time in his life was very sweet.
The residents of Study Villa treated Kyung-joon with respect, but they didn’t flatter him like this.
Perhaps the power of being a professor at Fairy-Elven Magic Academy is greater than that of a lord of a small village.
“Ahem. It’s okay, it’s okay. Fairy student. It’s been so long since I’ve been here, I forgot to show it to you right away.”
Kyung-joon decided to take this opportunity to experience the power of being a professor firsthand.
He came to the magic academy to discuss whether or not to refuse the professorship.
“Oh, but my shoulders suddenly feel stiff~ Is it because I’ve been standing in one place for too long?”
“Oh…!”
As Kyung-joon turned his shoulders as if they were stiff, the safety officer fairy flew behind him.
“Hehe, would you like me to give you a massage?”
“Oh my, thank you. Fairy student.”
“Don’t mention it~ Oh, right! I haven’t introduced myself yet.”
She introduced herself while massaging Kyung-joon’s shoulders.
<Festival Safety Guard>
▼Chatty Talkative (NPC)
TL: Literally – 챠티 토커티브
“My name is Chatty Talkative from the Combat Magic Department, professor~ I’m working as a festival safety officer right now~ Please take good care of me~!”
🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷
“Then I’ll be on my way~ Enjoy the festival, professor~ Fairy Chatty Talkative from the Combat Magic Department! Don’t forget me~!”
Flap, flap.
Chatty, participating in this festival as a safety officer.
“Yes, thank you. Chatty student.”
When Kyung-joon saw her off like an old man, Chatty politely bowed her head and moved her wings again to do her job as a safety officer.
Kyung-joon, who had sent her off, turned around and looked ahead.
『Warzone Entrance』
The place Kyung-joon was guided to was the entrance to the warzone.
As a result of using his authority as a professor to ask Chatty about this and that, the magic academy is currently in the middle of a festival, and among the many festival booths, this 『SMBG』 booth is all the rage.
『Survival Magic Battle Ground』
A battle royale magic showdown between a large number of students set against the backdrop of the vast Fael University!
Magic academy students call this the 『SMBG』 booth for short.
But now that almost the entire school has become a warzone for the SMBG booth, it’s hard to call it just a booth.
Originally, it wasn’t this big.
The increasingly fierce conflict between 『Scrollpia』 and 『Those Who Tear Paper』 has finally led to this, or so they say.
“I was told that the reason this has gotten so big is because of the hit thesis I left behind?”
<Yes. That’s what Larev-nim said in the follow-up.>
The reason Kyung-joon came to Fairy-Elven Magic Academy was to take care of this very problem.
And in return for taking care of it, he was promised a continuous supply of scrolls, which is the purpose of his visit to Fael University this time.
However, the word ‘take care of’ doesn’t go well with Kyung-joon.
If there’s a word that suits him better, it’s probably the opposite of ‘take care of’……
“It’s chaos.”
Kyung-joon had no intention of taking care of the problem.
In the first place, it wasn’t even Kyung-joon’s fault, it was just a problem they had created themselves, so what was there to take care of?
If anything, it’s just chaos.
He actually visited the magic academy with that thought in mind.
Just as he had achieved all his goals by shocking everyone in the defense of Luxemb, Kyung-joon was going to do something similar this time, no, something even bigger, and achieve more than he wanted.
This was Kyung-joon’s way.
“Okay. I managed to finish the midterm exams somehow, and I’ve been studying ever since…… I deserve to have some fun for a day, right?”
Kyung-joon, who had been studying all day long with all sorts of buffs before the midterm exams.
He continued to study even after the exams were over, but perhaps because of the side effects of the buffs, his studies were not going as smoothly as before.
So, since he came to Fael University to wreak havoc, he thought he might as well enjoy the festival to the fullest.
Just like the teacher said something about overheating before the math exam, he thought that if he took a day off, he could refresh his brain that had been running hot.
<It’s better to take breaks in between studying.>
< (˵ ͡ᵔ ͜ʟ ͡ᵔ ˵)>
Teemo agreed with Kyung-joon’s opinion with a smile emoticon.
Now that Teemo, Kyung-joon’s friend and teacher who studies with him, had readily given his permission, all that was left was to participate and enjoy.
Kyung-joon took his steps toward the SMBG booth in front of him.
[Sever’s Honorary Professor Badge]
Of course, with Sever’s professor badge proudly displayed on his chest.
Step, step.
“Ah, professor.”
As soon as the student guarding the entrance to the warzone saw Kyung-joon’s professor badge, he greeted him.
“Ahem.”
Kyung-joon also tried to sound like a professor.
‘I’ve never seen this professor before.’
He didn’t know what kind of professor he was, but it was natural tradition at Fael University to greet a professor first.
Kyung-joon was able to go through the procedures to enter the warzone without any difficulty, in fact, much more kindly than other students.
“You can enter after wearing this necklace, bracelet, and anklet. Professor.”
[Independent Necklace, Bracelet, and Anklet Set]
▶When worn on both arms, both legs, and the neck, the Unique skill 『Affiliation – Independent』 is activated when entering the 『Survival Magic Battle Ground』 booth’s warzone.
▶Item Grade: Unique
Kyung-joon received the equipment handed to him by the student.
“I’ve been so busy researching and studying that I don’t know how the magic academy works these days, so can you explain everything from the beginning?”
“Ah, yes. I understand.”
The student immediately added an explanation to Professor Kyung-joon’s (?) plausible request without a shred of doubt.
“First of all, if you wear all of these items, you will get a faction buff, as you can see.”
Just as there are three factions, there are three faction buffs.
Scrollpia, Those Who Tear Paper, and Independent, a total of three.
“Basically, all faction buffs are engraved with a spell that changes the magic you have into a festival version. It’s a kind of safety device.”
The most important thing in a survival game is safety.
Safety was also the top priority in the Survival Magic Battle Ground, a festival booth, and the faction buff played that role.
Thanks to the faction buff, all magic in the warzone is changed to a festival version, causing some pain but no actual HP damage to the target.
“It can cover up to Unique grade magic, so feel free to discipline the students. Haha. There are actually a few other professors who went in to do just that. But please don’t use Epic grade or higher magic. The magic tools can’t handle Epic grade or higher, so not only the students but also the professor might get seriously hurt.”
“Hmm. I understand.”
Kyung-joon nodded his head like a professor with his hands behind his back and asked the student a question.
“So, if it’s a faction buff, there must be other specialized buffs as well?”
“Ah, yes. That’s right.”
The student immediately added an explanation.
“You can purchase various buffs with the points you earn by attacking other faction members in the warzone, and the faction buff can be purchased separately by the faction representatives to add effects.”
For example.
If Scrollpia’s representative buys the 『All Scroll Effects +5%』 faction buff, all Scrollpia members will receive that buff.
The same goes for if the representative of Those Who Tear Paper buys the 『All Magic Tool Effects +5%』 faction buff.
“However, since the Independents don’t have a representative yet, they can’t buy faction buffs, only individual buffs. Ah, individual buffs are literally individual buffs that allow you to increase your own stats through the status window.”
“There’s no representative?”
Kyung-joon reacted to the fact that there was no representative yet.
“Yes. The Independents are chosen by those who don’t want to belong to either Scrollpia or Those Who Tear Paper, or anywhere else in particular. That’s why they’re called Independents.”
(※Independent: 1. A word that means to be buried in the wilderness, to be among the people without going into public office. 2. To be in a position where a certain political force cannot enter an institutional political organization.)
The fact that there is no representative yet means that if you play your cards right, you can become the representative yourself.
Kyung-joon grinned, thinking it was a good thing, and asked the most important question.
“What does the winning faction, the faction with the highest points, get?”
The reward for winning.
People compete and aim for first place because there is a reward.
Especially in this kind of survival game, rewards are of paramount importance.
“It’s simple. The winning faction can directly issue orders stamped with the president’s seal to the other factions.”
“Oh.”
Kyung-joon thought to himself, ‘Perfect.’
If he became the representative of the Independents and could control the other two factions as he pleased, he would be able to solve all of his current problems, including his master’s graduation parachute problem and the professor appointment problem.
“Let me ask you one thing.”
Kyung-joon came up with a very interesting idea.
