It’s an Academic Fact That Rankers Are Model Students – Chapter 211

Chapter 211: A Selfish Declaration of War (2)

” No. You’ll still be in charge of the Student Voice broadcast even after the festival. “

” S, Still? Me? “

This was news to Keron.

Wasn’t the Student Voice a special broadcast that only aired during the festival?

When Keron looked puzzled, Zot added, as if he had expected it.

” The Student Voice will continue as long as Those Who Tear Paper exists. And Those Who Tear Paper will never disappear until the damaged justice, equality, and trust of the University are restored. “

” Uh, uh…… but wouldn’t it be a nuisance to everyone in the school if we keep broadcasting like this……? Even if it’s a festival right now…… “

Keron timidly tried to change Zot’s mind.

However, Zot had already prepared a solution for such a problem.

” Do you think I’m the representative for nothing? I’ve already taken care of that. After the festival, I’ve already talked to V.O.FE to make it a regular school broadcast during lunch and dinner. “

” Ha, haha…… That’s amazing. “

Keron thought it was truly amazing drive.

Come to think of it, he created Those Who Tear Paper, he became the representative, and he led the situation here……

He’s always been diligent in his own way, but for some reason, this time it seems abnormally worse.

It made him wonder if he was really Zot.

Pat, pat.

Zot patted Keron on the shoulder and said.

” So all you have to do is work hard. While you’re at it, shouldn’t you get a spot like me?”

” I, Is that so……? “

” Yeah, yeah. That’s right. “

Thump!

Zot patted Keron on the back, telling him to work hard.

Of course, it was nothing but a burden to Keron.

” Keron, you should be glad you have a friend like me. It’s all thanks to me that you’re sitting in the No. 2 spot. “

Zot had an expression on his face as if he were doing him a huge favor.

No, it wasn’t that kind of expression, he really thought so.

” Uh, uh…… Thank you. “

Keron knew his heart well because he had been with Zot for a long time.

In the end, he couldn’t refuse properly and had no choice but to continue to take on the overflowing duties.

” Hoo…… Then I’ll go to bed for now. “

Thinking about what to do after the festival, Keron decided to go back to sleep as the broadcast was over.

At that time.

” Wait, Keron. “

Zot grabbed his arm, stopped him, and asked.

” What about Scrollpia…… “

A very important fact that he had overlooked.

🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷

” Speaking of Scrollpia, why isn’t there a rebuttal broadcast? “

” Huh……? “

It was true.

There was no rebuttal broadcast from Scrollpia.

Usually, a rebuttal comes right after the broadcast starts…… It was strange.

It was then.

《Hey, you b@stards who tear paper like brats!! What?! Fairness~? Public good~? Freedom…… (Omitted).》

” Ugh! “

” What the?! “

The two covered their ears at the sudden, tremendous roar.

[You have taken widespread damage.]

[Zot Kalisberg (Those Who Tear Paper) has taken 3 points of damage.]

[Keron Funes (Those Who Tear Paper) has taken 3 points of damage.]

The sound was so loud that they took damage despite covering their ears.

This was truly a lion’s roar.

《Hey, you fart face!! Let me ask you something!! Since when has magic been such a long-tongued study?! Huh!! Did your professor teach you that way?! Even after explaining it to you…… (Omitted).》

” Ugh……! “

Zot and Keron had no choice but to cover their ears and cower in the face of the continuing lion’s roar broadcast.

《……Aaaargh! Ack, ack! Craaaack?!》

Only after hearing all the evil sounds, did the broadcast finally stop.

” What the hell was that?! “

The first person to react was, of course, Zot.

” Ugh…… This is Teclyn Uo’s voice, I’m sure of it…… “

Keron reacted afterward.

” Teclyn……! Is that b|tchcrazy?! Sh|t! I knew it when she hit me in the back of the head! “

Zot recalled the memory of being hit in the back of the head by Teclyn with earth magic and went into a rage.

But Zot overlooked the fact that it was too early.

The moment he took his hand off his ear and grabbed the loudspeaker magic tool.

《Hey! It’s me, Teclyn Uo! I’m the de facto representative of Scrollpia!》

Scrollpia’s ultra-wide-area lion’s roar broadcast echoed once again.

” Crazy……! Again?! “

” Aaaargh! “

[Zot Kalisberg (Those Who Tear Paper) has taken 2 points of damage.]

[Keron Funes (Those Who Tear Paper) has taken 2 points of damage.]

How long had they been covering their ears and lying face down?

《…… (Omitted)……Come out, all of you! Let’s go for one last big one! All you poor Fael University slackers who have been struggling with your studies! Those who want to run wild, gather in front of the Scroll Department tree tomorrow morning on the last day of the festival!!》

The lion’s roar was no longer heard, but Zot and Keron were still covering their ears and lying face down.

Because he might come back one more time after a while, like before.

《……》

Fortunately, there were no more lion’s roars.

The Scrollpia broadcast was finally over.

” Huff, huff…… That crazy b|tch…… “

” Ugh…… My ears…… “

The two tapped their muffled ears and shook their heads from side to side, trying to get rid of the ringing tinnitus.

After a while.

The two finally came to their senses.

” Wow…… I lost 8 points…… “

Of course, this place is close to Scrollpia’s control camp.

Still, considering the vastness of Fael University, they must be at least a department or two away from each other, and to think that the sound was loud enough to cause damage……

” What in the world did Scrollpia create? “

While Keron was surprised.

” W, What, gather? Long-tongued? These b@stards……! “

Zot was completely enraged by the content of the broadcast.

There’s no way he couldn’t have heard a sound that loud.

He had listened to every single word of Scrollpia’s broadcast, which had just passed by several times.

A declaration of war.

As the representative of Those Who Tear Paper, he could not let this stand.

Thump!

Zot immediately jumped to his feet and shouted.

” Okay! We’ll gather as you wish! You trashy b@stards! Desired sea, the sea you wished for! “

He took a big step and grabbed the loudspeaker magic tool in his hand.

It didn’t matter now whether Scrollpia heard his orders or not.

Since they were challenged to a fight head-on, he had to do the same and crush them head-on.

That’s what a wizard’s fight was all about.

Beep. Eeee.

Static noise, the first to come from the loudspeaker magic tool as magic power (mana) seeped in.

The static was a prelude to the orders that would follow.

As soon as the prelude was over, Zot shouted out loud.

《Those Who Tear Paper! Did you hear that? You must have heard! Those who have been cowardly ambushing us from behind and running away when the paper runs out have told us that they want to see the end of us! They have declared war! It’s absurd, but they are wizards! And we are wizards too!》

To a wizard, a duel was sometimes more important than life itself.

The magic and spells cast with a handful of magic power (mana) in that duel.

Contained honor and pride.

Family and department were at stake.

Country and race were at stake.

The same was true of the current clash between Scrollpia and Those Who Tear Paper.

One group representing a wizard challenged another such group to a head-on match.

Therefore, there was only one way to go!

《Those Who Tear Paper! We accept their arrogant declaration of war! We’re going to go and kick their asses right now! To reclaim the justice, equality, and trust of the blackened Magic University! To bring back the traditions and history that they abandoned and buried under the black ink! To tear up the black paper! Let’s go!!》

And so.

『Scroll Department』 『Pro-Kyung-joon』 『Pro-Scroll Programming』 『Pro-Fairy King』

The 『Scrollpia』.

And.

『Magic Tool Department』 『Anti-Kyung-joon』 『Anti-Scroll Programming』 『Anti-Fairy King』

The 『Those Who Tear Paper』.

The final battle between them had begun.

And all of this was……

” Haha. What a mess. “

< ฅ^•.ᴥ•^ฅ >

” Isn’t that a cat? It has pointy ears? “

<It’s a Shiba Inu.>

” Aha. “

……It was all according to 『Kyung-joon』’s intentions.

🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷

Zot and Keron weren’t the only ones who heard Scrollpia’s declaration of war announced in Teclyn’s voice.

<Scrollpia’s vice-chairman>

<Scroll Department’s department head>

▼Edict Hooli (NPC)

The front lines of Scrollpia.

The front lines, but there was no sense of tension here.

━Zzz…… Zzz……

Edict was leisurely sleeping in a paulownia hammock.

At that time.

Boom! Boom!

Suddenly, a tremendous sound echoed through the front lines.

━Ugh! That voice……?!

[You have lost 1 point due to the attack.]

Edict was also damaged by Teclyn’s lion’s roar – or rather, Kyung-joon’s lion’s roar in Teclyn’s voice.

Thud!

Edict finally rolled out of the hammock from the sudden shock.

Boom! Boom!

━Ugh……!

He, too, like the other students, bent his knees and covered his ears, barely enduring the sudden lion’s roar.

《Let’s finish this tomorrow!! All you poor Fael University slackers who have been struggling with your studies! Those who want to run wild, gather in front of the Scroll Department tree tomorrow morning on the last day of the festival!!》

……

After a while, the lion’s roar stopped.

━Ggh……

Edict uncovered his ears and straightened his bent knees.

Looking around.

━Isn’t that Teclyn?

━Ugh…… My ears hurt…… Where are we supposed to gather? It was so loud I couldn’t hear properly.

━Hey, why is the Scroll Programming sound so loud?

The other Scrollpia members were still out of it, covering their ears and grimacing.

But Edict was different.

━Ggh…… Gghgh…… Hahahahahaha!

On the contrary, Edict laughed heartily as if relieved.

━Yes! Good! Good! Teclyn has finally made up her mind!

Teclyn’s declaration of war, made without any consultation with him.

Edict loved it.

From the beginning, Edict was a person who didn’t care about the word “absolute.”

There was no reason for him to dislike the fact that Teclyn, one of the people he trusted the most, had arbitrarily declared war.

━I was getting sick and tired of all the nitpicking about tactics and strategies! Teclyn finally understood me!

The complicated strategies that Teclyn had been repeatedly urging him to use were no longer necessary, as the person herself had just declared.

Naturally, he couldn’t be happier!

Edict, the ‘vice-chairman’ of Scrollpia, began to prepare his retreat line, saying so.

━Okay! Let’s go! It’s the final all-out war!!

Edict, who had heard Teclyn’s declaration of war, moved immediately without any delay.

The course of action he set forth was as follows:

First, retreat the front line and gather in front of the Scroll Department tree as Teclyn said.

Second, wait there.

Wait for them – Those Who Tear Paper – to come along the retreated front line.

And the moment tomorrow morning came.

The final all-out war that would put an end to the long-running battle……

．

Teclyn, who had witnessed everything Edict was doing at the front line through the crystal ball connected to the Video Memory Stone.

” Ah…… Ah…… “
