Chapter 226: 1st Presentation
“Whoaaaa!”
The arm of a giant tentacle monster lunges towards Kyung-joon!
[Unique skill 『Ultrasonic Vibration Mana Dagger (Lv.3)』 ]
[Forms a mana blade that vibrates 40,000 times per second.]
Slash!
The giant tentacle is instantly cut into several pieces.
A very fast and clean movement.
It was clearly different from Kyung-joon’s movements so far.
It wasn’t just a fast movement with agility and timing.
There was not a single bit of will in every single action.
That’s why it was very simple and perfect.
[Mana Mechanics Research Skill 『Vector Calculus』 ]
▶Current Proficiency: 3.7%
It was a move that 『calculated』 everything.
[Controls the body by converting mana into vectors.]
It simply receives the target’s attack as ‘data’ and calculates the trajectory according to a set formula.
Step.
By the time Kyung-joon stood in front of Teina.
Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash!
The tentacle monster behind was completely cut into perfect hexagons.

“Oh my, oh my…… “
Teina, seeing Kyung-joon, slightly widened her always smiling eyes.
‘Indeed…… Mr. Descendant. You’re beyond imagination……’
The descendant of Huma.
Teina had already seen enough of Kyung-joon’s level at the Fael Festival.
After all, she had been in charge of healing at the Battleground booth.
She was thrilled, unlike herself, when he brought down a giant laser from the sky and retired hundreds of students all at once.
Afterward, she couldn’t help but admire him inwardly as she watched him fight on par with the Fairy and eventually overpower her completely.
And in the face of Fairy King’s immense mana, she was certain that he was indeed the second coming of Huma himself, as he did not flinch at all but rather led the game in his own way.
And now.
‘……It’s like Body Manipulation Magic, but the feeling of mana is completely different from that of ordinary Body Manipulation Magic. He absorbed what he fought with the Fairy and made it his own, and on top of that, he upgraded it into something completely new…… It hasn’t even been two years since he came to World, Huma wasn’t even at this level.’
Teina couldn’t help but think that he might be even greater than his predecessor, Huma.
“Phew. Teina. What the hell is this guy?”
Kyung-joon asked nonchalantly, removing the ultrasonic vibrating mana blade from his hand.
“Ah.”
Teina, who had been slow to react because she was so impressed.
She immediately regained her composure and began to explain.
“It’s a very rare ancient creature that lives deep in the Dragon Palace Sea. It’s also a creature that our Magic Tower Mother Teina has been focusing on researching recently. I think it cost about 10 billion liyan to get one~?”
“Gasp. 10 billion liyan.”
Converted into Korean won, it was worth about 1 billion won.
It was a lot of money, but……
“It’s barely enough to buy an apartment in Gangnam.”
Come to think of it, it wasn’t that much money.
“It suddenly attacked me, so I killed it, but is that okay? You didn’t invite me here to feed me to it, did you?”
“Of course not~ There’s a reason why it’s so rare and expensive. Look.”
Teina smiled coquettishly and pointed her finger behind her.
“Huh?”
Kyung-joon had cut the tentacle monster into exactly 171 pieces in the shape of a hexagon.
“They’re sticking together?”
Wiggle, wiggle.
The pieces were regenerating, sticking back together.
Click, click.
Teina approached the regenerating tentacle monster and cast a spell.
“Stop~”
Swoosh.
As soon as a small portion of her mana enveloped the tentacle monster, its regeneration stopped completely.
It was as if time had stopped.
However, it didn’t look dead.
“This guy is called a delomel, and it’s characterized by its infinite lifespan.”
Teina continued.
“Infinite lifespan?”
“Yes~ No matter how long we elves and fairies live, we don’t live forever. Dragons, phoenixes, and even the undead are all called immortals, but in the end, it’s just a process of dying and being reborn. There is no creature that can live for thousands and tens of thousands of years without dying or aging.”
The current Humanity Cantons of World have enjoyed a long era of peace, without major wars, for hundreds of years.
Therefore, fairies, elves, dragons, all of them are living in a society of tremendous ‘aging’.
The thing they are most interested in is to live on without dying or aging.
“To go against the providence of World, aging. That’s the main research our Mother Teina is doing these days.”
“Oh, in my world, everyone’s going crazy trying to research that these days too.”
Kyung-joon recalled the news of 『Bio Is Very Safe (BIVS)』 that he had seen before logging into the game.
He found it a little interesting.
“This is kind of interesting. Instead of the anatomy practice you were going to help me with today, can’t we just do it with this?”
“Oh my. Would you? I’m sure it would be fine if you helped me with my research instead~”
“Sure. You’re helping me with my performance evaluation anyway, so it’s win-win.”
“Good. Then~”
Swoosh.
Teina picked up a piece of tentacle from the floor and placed it on the dissecting table.
Woong.
And then she released the healing suppression magic she had just cast.
Wiggle, wiggle.
The tentacle piece began to regenerate again, wriggling.
“First, I’ll teach you the basics of dissection with this. Mr. Descendant, you said you knew a little, right? Then let’s see what you’ve got~?”
And so Kyung-joon and Teina practiced together for the anatomy practice that was scheduled for the following week.
🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷
The day of the World’s Top Magic Competition 1st presentation arrived.
Buzz, buzz.
Fael Square was packed with students and professors who had come to watch the 1st presentation, as well as the teams who had come to present.
The order of the presentations was the same as the order in which the five teams that passed the preliminaries were announced.
The dark magic team’s 『Dark Magic Curse Doll That’s Worth 7 Times the Money』
Azuaz&Chatty team’s 『New Concept Fairy Combat Magic Textbook』
The Elf Thug Trio team’s 『Dragon Palace Sea Krill Oil-Containing Mana Health Supplement Optimized for Each Race』
Zot&Keron team’s 『Dedicated Anti-Scroll Magic Tool』
And lastly, Kyung-joon’s 『Scroll magic that utilizes the method of scroll creation, Scroll-less Magic, Scroll Magic』
They were scheduled to present in this order.
“Oh my, oh my. All four teams other than Mr. Descendant seem to have good ideas~”
“I’d love to scout them all if I could.”
Teina and Siam were chatting at the judges’ table so that only the three of them could hear.
The reason it was three was that Larev was also next to them.
“Elder Larev, which one do you like best? Is it the Anti-Scroll Magic Tool after all~?”
Teina asked Larev playfully.
“……Please don’t ask me questions you don’t mean, Teina-nim.”
Larev smiled wryly as if he was fed up with their flippancy.
And he added immediately.
“Isn’t the result already decided?”
“Oh my, oh my~ Elder, you’re saying dangerous things~ What if someone hears you?”
“Hahaha. And who knows? Maybe the other four teams are really better than Mr. Kyung-joon?”
“……You two haven’t changed a bit. As always.”
While the three judges were having this very fair (?) conversation, the orientation was already over.
This was followed immediately by the 1st presentation.
“Then let’s hear the 1st presentation! 『Dark Magic Curse Doll That’s Worth 7 Times the Money』 team! Please come forward!”
Four members of the Dark Magic Department, who made up the team, came up to the presentation stage.
“Hello! I’m Ransomware Bug(LOL), the team leader of the 『Dark Magic Curse Doll That’s Worth 7 Times the Money』 team!”
A confident voice with no hesitation.
And his eyes were confident in his team’s idea.
“We’re here to break the prejudice that dark magic is dangerous and bad! That’s why our team’s idea is safe enough for even a child to use! It’s a curse doll, but it’s just a light prank! And it can make you 7 times more money!”
The dark magic team’s idea was this.
First, there is a disposable curse doll.
If you give this to a close friend, the following prankish curses will be cast over 10 days.
『1. All drinks will taste like water.
2. You will hear the sound of frogs when you lie down to sleep.
3. You will feel like someone is behind you.
4. You have to breathe and swallow manually when you close your eyes.
5. You can’t sneeze when you feel like you’re about to.
6. You get a pimple on your nose every day.
7. You always forget to bring an umbrella at least once when it rains.
8. When you order sweet and sour pork, it will automatically be poured and you will eat it.
9. You will ignore the first alarm and sleep in.
10. You will keep wondering if you turned off the lights in your room or locked the door.』
“A very safe but very annoying curse that even a child can handle! But the best part is how to break this curse! It will automatically be lifted after 10 days, but there is a way to break it much faster! By giving the curse doll to 7 other people except yourself!”
In other words.
If the person who received the curse doll buys 7 more curse dolls and gives them (?) to 7 other people, the curse will be lifted!
“Isn’t this an amazing business model?! At first, if one person is cursed, they will buy 7 curse dolls to break it, and then the other 7 cursed people will buy 7 more curse dolls each to break their curses, so you will sell a total of 49 more curse dolls! Then 343, then 2,401, then 16,807, then―”
Whack!
“―Gah!”
A wooden scoreboard flew from the judges’ table and hit the dark magic team leader’s head.
It was thrown by the Grand Elder Larev.
“Hey!! How did you guys get up here?!!”
Larev threw away his usual polite tone and fumed. He was so dumbfounded by the dark magic team’s absurd presentation that he finally exploded.
It was a mystery how these crazy b@stards even passed the preliminaries in the first place.
“Uh, the judging professor during the preliminaries was from the same Dark Magic Department…… “
“Get out!!”
Boom! Bang! Whoosh!
The very angry Larev unleashed all sorts of basic magic at the dark magic team.
“Aaagh?!”
The dark magic team hurriedly ran off the stage to avoid being hit by Larev’s magic.
━Is the dark magic team’s idea for real……
━This is why everyone talks bad about dark magic users.
━If they’re out, there are only 4 teams left, so what happens then?
Buzz, buzz!
In the end, the 1st presentation was a complete mess right from the first presentation. Kyung-joon, who was watching the scene from the presentation team waiting area.
“Wow, crazy. Isn’t that idea awesome?”
<????>
Teemo filled the crystal ball with question marks at Kyung-joon’s reaction.
“No, I mean, in theory, it’s about endlessly raking in money by multiplying it by 7. Wouldn’t it be awesome if it works out?”
For example.
If you go to any kingdom you don’t like and just spread one of those dolls, it’s game over.
And if you program the scroll well with security so that they can’t break the curse at all except by buying 7 more……
“……Wow, damn. Should we just bring those guys to the research camp and really do that?”
<-_-a;;;>
<Sometimes I think Master is more of a demon king than the Demon King.>
Kyung-joon thought he had made the right decision to come to Fael University this time.
After all, all sorts of interesting talents and ideas were scattered everywhere.
🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷
All the other teams’ presentations were over.
Now it was time for the fifth and final presentation, Kyung-joon’s turn. But Kyung-joon’s presentation, from the very first word……
“……Is that really true?”
“Yes.”
“…… “
Judges, students, professors, everyone.
He silenced them all.
