It’s an Academic Fact That Rankers Are Model Students – Chapter 201

Chapter 201: Attack on the Rainbow Warehouse No. 6 of the Clans Hall (1)

“Can I give the same order if I get first place in the independent faction?”

When Kyung-joon asked, the student couldn’t answer properly, as if it was the first time he had heard the question.

“Uh, well… Maybe that’s the rule, but I’m not sure what will happen because there is no representative…”

“I guess you don’t know until you try it.”

“Yes. I think so. But I don’t think that’s going to happen. In the first place, this Battleground booth got bigger because of Scrollpia and Those Who Tear Paper.”

This incident happened because of the fierce clash between the two groups.

In order to uphold the justice they were advocating, the other side had to be broken, and in order to make sure of this, they decided to use the Battleground booth, as it was the festival season.

It was a perfect way to enjoy the festival and uphold justice.

Here, the independent faction was nothing more than a supporting role.

“Anyway, the independent faction doesn’t have many points, so they’re guaranteed last place in the faction fight.”

The student said so and tried to check the current point status by opening the status window.

He said, looking at the scoreboard that appeared in the status window.

“Let’s see, Scrollpia has 28,000 and Those Who Tear Paper has a little over 20,000… Scrollpia is definitely winning. If this continues, Scrollpia will win.”

As expected of a faction spearheaded by the new magic of scroll programming, the victory in the current faction fight was heavily tilted towards Scrollpia.

“The independent faction is only at 12,000 now, so there doesn’t seem to be any chance of winning. The festival is over in a few days.”

On the other hand, the independent faction, which had nothing to offer and no representative, only enjoyed the booth, so naturally, they had far fewer points.

“Thanks for the explanation. Can we go in now?”

Kyung-joon, who seemed to have enough explanation, stood on top of the magic circle.

It seemed that they were entering the war zone through this magic circle.

“Yep. I’ll activate the magic circle right away.”

Wooong.

As the student let his mana flow to the floor, the magic circle absorbed it and began to glow.

Just before the magic circle was fully operational.

“Ah!”

The student, who had forgotten to say one thing, shouted out loud from outside the noise made by mana.

“Professor! Keep in mind that you can change factions even within the war zone!”

Contrary to the student’s urgent cry, Kyung-joon responded leisurely.

“Yes. I’ll keep that in mind.”

Kyung-joon was going to ‘keep in mind’ just as he answered.

Because Kyung-joon had no intention of changing factions from the independent faction.

Starting from the independent faction, which is considered to be the most supportive, he would win first place by overwhelmingly suppressing the other two factions by stirring up the students and causing a stir.

Only then will the 『power』 be proven, and only the power proven here can solve all the problems that are happening now.

Suuung!

He entered the war zone through the magic circle.

Kwa Kwa Kwang! Pew pew! Hwarr!

Then, the appearance of the war, which had only been seen from afar, unfolds right before your eyes.

[You have entered the war zone.]

[A buff of Unique skill 『Affiliation – Independent faction』 is applied.]

[All magic used will be changed to festival version.]

[When you take damage from festival magic, points are deducted instead of HP.]

▶Points: 100//100

※When the points reach 0, a strong protective shield is formed along with the state of being unable to act, and you are protected from surrounding damage. Please wait for rescue from the Department of Magic Healing!

※You are currently affiliated with the independent faction. The independent faction is unaffiliated and has limited access to various benefits that can be obtained from the faction. You can be recruited and change your affiliation.

(Currently available factions: Scrollpia, Those Who Tear Paper)

After checking the buffs, Kyung-joon, who immediately started moving.

He looks like he has a plan.

Teemo puts a question mark on his face at the sight of him not delaying a bit, even though it’s his first time participating in the festival.

<?ʘ̅͜ʘ̅̅?>

<Master. Do you have any plans for what to do first?>

Kyung-joon confidently said as he stretched his legs forward.

“Well, of course, you have to start with farming.”

🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷

Rainbow Warehouse No. 6 of the Clans Hall, a little further away from the Scroll Department tree.

It is a bit secluded, so most students don’t pay attention and just pass by.

However, in the basement, there was a scroll workshop secretly built and operated by the Scroll Department.

Unlike other scroll workshops, this place only deals with special scrolls.

The special scroll made here at Rainbow Warehouse No. 6 of the Clans Hall meant Kyung-joon’s exclusive scroll.

In the dark basement, where the musty basement smell settles low. A boy’s voice, which sounds a little young, echoes.

<Affiliation – Scrollpia>

▼Eo-er Twinies Twins (NPC)

“……Yaya. A person broke into the building yard.”

Eo-er, one of the people in charge of making Kyung-joon-style exclusive scrolls at Rainbow Warehouse No. 6 of the Clans Hall.

He checked the image reflected in the crystal ball and quietly spoke to Yaya.

Then another elf boy, who looked exactly like Eo-er, but subtly symmetrical, answered in a slightly shrill voice.

<Affiliation – Scrollpia>

▼Yaya Twinies (NPC)

“…Eo-er, what’s their affiliation?”

Yaya, who stopped making scrolls for a while and put his face in front of the crystal ball.

In response, Eo-er slightly pulled his face back to make room.

Then, pointing his finger at the center of the screen reflected in the crystal ball, Eo-er put his own guess into words.

“All three seem to belong to the independent faction?”

In the crystal ball, three elves were looking around.

“I don’t think they came here knowing where this is.”

At Eo-er’s words, Yaya stared intently at the crystal ball and came to a conclusion.

“Right. It looks like they just wandered around and stopped by by chance.”

Where is this place? Who is doing what? The appearance of being wary of the surroundings with curiosity.

The elves in the crystal ball didn’t look like they knew where they were going.

“Yaya, that’s a relief.”

“Eo-er, that’s a relief.”

Eo-er and Yaya breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

This is one of the few workshops that produce Kyung-joon-style exclusive scrolls.

Almost half of the amount used per day is all made here.

In a way, this is why Scrollpia has been able to maintain a significant advantage over Those Who Tear Paper.

Without Kyung-joon-style exclusive scrolls and scroll programming, perhaps Scrollpia would have been greatly pushed back by the paper-rippers who focus on magic tools.

No, it must have been.

The limitations of scrolls, which are not very suitable for combat compared to magic tools, were overcome by scroll programming.

So if this place is discovered or taken over, the war that has been waged so far will be reversed in an instant.

They had to get out of here and eliminate them before they found this place by chance.

“Yaya, I’ll activate the mine scroll as soon as they come a little further in.”

Eo-er got up from his seat and immediately started walking.

The side where the earthen wall is visible because the wall is not properly treated.

It was in the direction of getting closer to the three elves who had entered the yard.

“Eo-er, I’ll give you a signal while watching the crystal ball.”

As an important base for Scrollpia, Rainbow Warehouse No. 6 of the Clans Hall was perfectly defended.

Although the only ones guarding it are Yaya and Eo-er, the two of the Twinies family.

Instead, numerous scroll traps are placed from the yard to the basement.

The mine scrolls scattered all over the yard are one of them.

Originally, existing scrolls do not work properly when dirt gets on the runes, but this one, written with Kyung-joon-style exclusive scrolls and scroll programming, is different.

“Yaya, now?”

“Eo-er, now. From Y24 to Y28. Inject it right away.”

Wooong!

Eo-er poured mana through the earthen wall.

Then, mana flows through the quartz tube that was pre-inserted into the earthen wall.

The moment mana seeped into the yard’s mine scroll in less than a second!

Peooeng!

━Kyaaak?!

The sound of an explosion and a scream transmitted directly through the ground.

On the other hand, the crystal ball did not convey the sound, but it showed the scene outside vividly.

The three elves visible in the crystal ball exploded and flew away with the dirt.

It was a direct hit.

[Jad Thomas (Affiliation – Independent faction’s points have reached 0. You will be retired from the war zone.]

[Homan Michelle (Affiliation – Independent faction’s points have reached 0. You will be retired from the war zone.]

[Camille Luhua (Affiliation – Independent faction’s points have reached 0. You will be retired from the war zone.]

[A total of 258 damage was dealt.]

[Points earned are halved as you are affiliated with the independent faction.]

[A total of 129 points have been earned.]

[All points are accumulated in the affiliated faction 『Scrollpia』.]

Once you join a faction, points are no longer managed by the individual, but by the faction.

However, since how many points an individual has earned is recorded, there is no disadvantage when receiving prizes according to the points later.

“Yaya, how is it? Did it hit?”

Eo-er, still holding his hand on the earthen wall just in case, asked with only his head turned.

Yaya gives him a thumbs up.

“Eo-er, it’s a direct hit.”

“Phew. I’ll watch it now. Go back to making it.”

The two took turns monitoring the crystal ball and making scrolls, and currently, Eo-er was in charge of monitoring and Yaya was in charge of making.

When Eo-er tried to walk back to where the crystal ball was.

“Wait. Stay there.”

Yaya suddenly put his hand forward to stop Eo-er, who was about to come this way, and stared at the inside of the crystal ball again.

“One more intruder.”

“What? Again?”

“Eo-er. It’s a human this time.”

The figure reflected in the crystal ball was that of a human man with his hair grown almost long enough to be a ponytail because he hadn’t cut it.

‘A human foreign student participated? That’s rare.’

Usually, human foreign students don’t participate much in the Battleground booth because their magic abilities are very different from those of elves or fairies.

If they participate, it’s Toto outside.

Anyway, if they invaded, they would be eliminated in the same way.

“Yaya, should I keep waiting?”

“Eo-er. I’ll give you a signal like before.”

At Yaya’s words, Eo-er put his hand back on the earthen wall with an annoyed expression.

“Now. From Y29 to Y31.”

And just like before, Yaya gave the signal.

Wooong!

Eo-er immediately poured mana into the corresponding quartz tube.

Peooeng!

The sound of the mine scroll exploding was heard through the ground.

But.

The explosion didn’t end there.

Pew pew! Pew pew! Pew pew!

Pupu-pu-pu-pu-peeng!!

“Keuk?!”

Kugugugu!

In an instant, the entire basement shook from the massive explosion, and stone powder from the walls fell.

Thud! Kwung! Clatter!

“Ack……?!”

The scroll materials that had been piled up fell to the floor, and even Eo-er, who was standing in front of the wall, fell over and fell on his butt.

Sss.

As soon as the shaking subsided, Yaya shouted in anger.

“Eo-er! What did you just do?! I told you to only detonate from Y29 to 31!”

“I, I did! I clearly only poured mana into those three tubes!”

Eo-er defended himself immediately, without even having time to feel the pain in his buttocks.

“Then what the hell was that explosion just now?!”

“T, That’s……!”
