Chapter 212: A Selfish Declaration of War (3)
” Ah…… Ahh…… “
On the crystal ball, Edict was giving her a blatant V sign.
Behind him, students were packing up and leaving for the final all-out battle tomorrow.
It was too late for Teclyn to stop them now, too much had gone wrong.
” I, It’s ruined…… “
The situation was already spiraling into chaos.
Actually.
The reason Teclyn almost had a seizure at Kyung-joon’s declaration of war in his own voice wasn’t just because her image was ruined.
The strategies she had worked hard to devise and implement over the past few days, the countless baits she had laid for the final day tomorrow, and so on.
All of this had been ruined because of the otherworlder Kyung-joon’s declaration of war in his own voice.
It’s not like they were some uneducated beastkin……
This kind of barbaric all-out war was definitely not one of the 37 scenarios she had envisioned for tomorrow……!
” It’s ruined……! It’s ruined, it’s ruined, it’s ruined……! “
Thump!
Teclyn, who had been crying her eyes out, now fell to her knees and despaired in the OTL position.
And then.
Snap!
She lifted her head up towards Kyung-joon.
Her eyes were so wide open that they became sanpaku, and her pupils were so constricted that they evoked fear beyond pity.
Her lips parted heavily.
” I…… I spent 10 days…… staying up all night, taking care of Edict’s rampage, and going through all that trouble…… Did you really have to do that……? “
Slowly.
She then crawled over to Kyung-joon and grabbed his pant leg.
” You shouldn’t have done that…… You really had to…… ruin everything…… to feel better―did you! Sob, sob, sob! “
She began to cry again, almost clinging to Kyung-joon.
Kyung-joon felt his pants getting damp with Teclyn’s tears and snot, but he didn’t really mind.
He had gotten used to his pants getting wet while living with the water spirit Bangwool.
It was more important to prepare for the next plan.
” Now that the declaration of war is over, next is…… “
Kyung-joon took out the paper he had written down and went over his plans again, completely ignoring Teclyn crying and whining next to him.
” Hey, are you completely ignoring me?! At least pretend to be concerned!! “
As expected, the first one to smell the scent was Teclyn.
Besides Edict, he was practically the first person she had ever met who was this much of a free spirit.
” Ah, are you finally coming to your senses? “
Kyung-joon made a ‘finally?’ expression as he saw her stop crying.
” Sigh…… I really don’t understand why I’m surrounded by these kinds of people…… “
Teclyn could only sigh deeply in disbelief.
” Haha. You seem pretty used to it though? “
” Sigh…… Because of that damn Edict. The black-haired kid who was on the crystal ball earlier. He’s so much like you, Professor. “
Teclyn glanced at Kyung-joon’s professor badge and switched back from informal to formal speech.
However, she wasn’t as polite as she was with other professors, perhaps because she was still upset about being toyed with earlier.
To be honest, she looked quite dissatisfied.
Still, she was actually much older than Kyung-joon, being an elf, and the fact that she was still showing basic courtesy showed how important the position of professor was at this university.
” Ahh, so that was Edict. “
Kyung-joon replied as if he knew who Edict was, even though he had never met him.
Teclyn caught that subtle nuance.
Her dissatisfied expression became even more complicated.
” …… “
The perfect invisibility magic he had shown from the first time they met.
And the way he manipulated the loudspeaker scroll at will, and the way he completely neutralized magic with ruby magic, which she didn’t even know was possible……
‘……Just how much does this person know?’
Kyung-joon.
The current source of all the trouble at Fael University and the creator of ‘scroll programming’ that Scrollpia was pursuing.
And an otherworlder.
Although she might not be as curious as Edict, who wanted to know what Kyung-joon ate for breakfast and what time he went to sleep at night, Teclyn had a mountain of questions she wanted to ask him.
But the most important thing to ask in this situation was this.
” But what are you really going to do? You’ve already drawn all this aggro with the declaration of war, how are you going to clean up the mess? “
” Clean up the mess? “
Kyung-joon smirked at her question.
It was an expression that said he had everything planned out, and that it was going according to plan.
And it was.
Kyung-joon already had the ending all planned out!
As the mastermind behind all the incidents, from this declaration of war to the heat pump paper, he figured it would be cleaner to resolve it himself.
” It’s fine. Eo-er is already working on it. “
” Eo-er……? You mean Eo-er from the twin brothers Eo-er and Ya-ya? “
” I knew they were twins. They look exactly alike. “
Teclyn was convinced after hearing Kyung-joon’s words.
‘Come to think of it, the video message we got earlier was also sent by Uh-uh…… So that means……’
She was certain that the Klangs Hall Rainbow Warehouse No. 6, which Eo-er and Ya-ya were in charge of, had also been taken over by Kyung-joon.
Eo-er and Ya-ya must have been completely overwhelmed by him and had no choice but to follow him.
Just like how the control camp and Teclyn had tacitly agreed to follow Kyung-joon.
” Here, look. “
Swoosh.
Kyung-joon handed Teclyn 『an example of the scroll Eo-er was currently working on』.
” This is…… “
” Just read it first. “
” ……Yes. Hmm. “
Teclyn began to read the scroll Kyung-joon had handed her from top to bottom.
” Ugh. “
However, she was overwhelmed by the unfamiliar functions, or the writing styles she had only seen in papers and had no idea how to use.
She couldn’t help but be amazed by the much more sophisticated methods than the scroll programming she had self-studied with her classmates.
” Don’t try to understand everything, just look at the overall picture. What this scroll does. “
At Kyung-joon’s words, Teclyn nodded her head twice quickly without a word and glared even harder than before.
Kyung-joon was the professor, and Teclyn was the student.
It really looked like a scene from an interview where a professor was testing his student.
Fortunately, Teclyn was a self-directed and independent learner.
Teclyn, who would realize the meaning of the scroll Kyung-joon handed her.
” Th, th, th, this is…… Are, are you serious…… “
But the contents of the scroll were not fortunate at all.
” Judging by your expression, I guess you interpreted it correctly. “
Kyung-joon smiled with satisfaction, thinking that no further explanation was necessary.
His mental score for Scrollpia went up a bit.
” N, n, n, no way?! You’re…… You’re really going to do this? This is on the scale of a joint magic spell with hundreds of people……! “
” Yes, I am. “
Kyung-joon calmly stated the decided fact.
” No, no……! Whether you do it or not, there’s no way this will actually work……! In the first place, at this scale, it’s practically epic-level magic! It won’t even activate because of the barrier restriction! “
The contents of the scroll Kyung-joon showed her, and the 『future plans』 she deduced from it.
The scroll magic Kyung-joon would use was 『epic』 level magic, surpassing the unique level limited by the barrier.
Therefore, no matter how grand the plan, it was too grand to be activated.
However.
” Ms. Teclyn. Don’t you know that there’s no field in the world without loopholes? “
Ways to legally move taxes around.
Ways to slip through the loopholes in the law like a mudfish.
Ways to get a high score on a test without cheating.
And ways to manipulate the established 『rules』 to your liking.
If you just study, if you just use your head a little.
” It’s epic-level magic, but it just needs to be unique-level, right? “
There is no hole in the world that you can’t get out of.
” What the hell are you talking about…… No, what do you mean? “
Teclyn looked confused at Kyung-joon’s nonsensical words.
” Haha, what do you think? “
Kyung-joon didn’t seem to want to answer.
” You’ll see. What I mean. “
Thud!
A heavy thud echoed from the floor as Kyung-joon took something out of his inventory.
” Gasp! T, That wouldn’t happen to be……! “
It was all paper.
Of course, it wasn’t ordinary paper, but the unfinished scrolls Kyung-joon had taken from the basement of Rainbow Warehouse No. 6 when he brought it down.
‘As expected……’
Seeing that, Teclyn was completely convinced that Kyung-joon had Eo-er and Ya-ya completely under his control.
” I’m going to make all the weapons I need for tomorrow with this. “
There were over 500 scrolls.
” W, What?! We have less than half a day until tomorrow morning, and you’re going to do it all?! “
She didn’t even know how many times she had been surprised today.
” Yes. “
Kyung-joon’s answer was always the same.
” Sigh…… What do I need to do? “
Now, instead of being surprised and asking questions, Teclyn had decided to just follow Kyung-joon’s lead.
” First, it’s almost the same as the way you used to write it, but leave some parts blank so I can modify them…… “
And so, the two of them began to write the 『epic-level but unique-level scrolls』 for tomorrow’s final battle.
Exactly 47 minutes and 34 seconds later.
After finishing making one of the target scrolls.
” Phew. Done. This completes it. When is it? “
Teclyn realized.
That it was completely absurd to say that Kyung-joon was similar to Edict.
” Wow! This is insane! You’re not even human, Professor! How…… How can you do this! “
” Haha, what do you think? You must be dying to see what happens tomorrow, right? “
” What do you mean dying to see! You’re a complete devil! “
Similar, my ass.
If Edict was just coffee, Kyung-joon was a tea party.
🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷
” Let’s go tear up that paper stained with corruption!! “
” Waahhhhhhh!! “
At the cry of Zot, the representative of Those Who Tear Paper, they charged forward with a roar.
Scrollpia was not one to just stand by and wait for them to come.
” For the true advent of Scrollpia! For stagnant magic and our allies! Fight! “
Edict, the representative of Scrollpia, shouted with all his might, as if to counter Zot.
” Waahhh!! “
Scrollpia also charged towards the approaching paper-tearers, kicking up dust with all their might.
Boom! Bang! Crash!
Scrollpia and Those Who Tear Paper clashed!
Thud! Crash! Bang!
All sorts of magic spheres flew around, torn papers and broken magic tools scattered everywhere.
The ground cracked and caved in, and the ornamental trees planted here and there were all either charred black or uprooted.
Needless to say, benches and pavilions were not spared.
Most of them had already been used as temporary battle bases and had collapsed in the same way.
It was complete and utter chaos!
But just as there were those who caused it, there were also those who cleaned it up.
And they were……
