It’s an Academic Fact That Rankers Are Model Students – Chapter 278

Chapter 278: To eat a fight, you must first make it bite-sized (2)

Siam finally opened her mouth, which she had never opened before.

“Beom-ah-il-yeo.”

Beom-ah-il-yeo!

Ezeri pricked up her ears, focusing on her words.

One.

“There’s a saying that I and the World are one. You too can manage your mind much better if you practice tea ceremony.”

Slurp.

Siam, who had been looking forward to it, sipped the warm tea and only uttered strange words that no one could understand.

Thud.

“Ah…… Ah……”

Ezeri collapsed into her seat.

“Then let’s take it as that and end the general meeting. Everyone!”

“Good, good. Clap clap clap.”

“This is really… a huge loss. I bought some because it was the Emperor’s stock, but it collapsed in an instant. It’s fortunate that I diversified my investments.”

“Isn’t that the beauty of Magic Tower investment? Let’s make up for it in the next investment. Hahaha!”

“Then Ezeri… No, CMO. Please do your best. The future of our Arc-en-Ciel depends on you.”

In the end, the general meeting ended with the story proceeding as the shareholders wished.

Even if she wanted to resist, she couldn’t.

Siam had already realized that fact even before the general meeting began.

“Ezeri. There’s nothing we can do. Even if the two of us joined forces and opposed it, we would never have been able to overturn the opinion.”

“That’s……”

“It’s not about whether we have the will to overturn it or not. The amount of shares that I and Ezeri hold. Even if we scrape together every last bit, it’s less than 50%, right?”

As Siam said.

Currently, the shareholding of the shareholders gathered at the general meeting is as follows:

『Siam Tinya: 26.5%』

『CMO Ezeri: 1.2%』

『Other shareholders: 48.89%』

『Non-participating shareholders (excluded): 23.4%』

Even if Ezeri and Siam joined forces, they wouldn’t even reach 30%.

On the other hand, the shareholders who were trying to make Ezeri a scapegoat held 48.89% of the shares, almost 50%.

To overturn their opinion, they would need to secure at least 50% of the shares, but…

They knew from the beginning that it was impossible.

‘That’s why I prepared so hard…… But I couldn’t convince a single person…… I thought they would understand if I worked hard…… But they didn’t……’

Ezeri was too naive.

She realized too late that those who honestly walk their own path are always trampled upon by the world.

Thus, Ezeri despaired, and.

The shareholders, excluding Siam and Ezeri, went to the door, whose door had fallen off, and tried to leave.

At that moment, Siam casually spoke in her usual calm voice.

“Everyone, I think it’s too early to go back yet, how about having another cup of tea?”

Suddenly asking for a cup of tea.

The shareholders thought that even Siam, who is called the top of the business world, had lost her touch.

“Haha, sure. But Siam-nim. Wouldn’t Siam-nim prefer to have tea with us in a better place rather than in such a humble place……”

At that moment.

[Unique skill 『Isolated System (Lv.3)』 has been released.]

Someone suddenly appeared at the door!

“Kyaaak?!”

The shareholder who was right in front of the door was startled and fell backward.

No one noticed that someone was hiding there.

Even though they were high-level and old fairies and elves, they weren’t specialized in body concealment techniques like Azuaz or powerful wizards like the Fairy King.

“Wow. I didn’t know you were all looking for me like that.”

The man who suddenly appeared chuckled.

“Y, You are…!”

[Epic Skill 『Vector Calculus』 ]

Woong!

One of the two teacups that Siam had poured flew towards the man at a very fast speed.

Without spilling a single drop.

Gulp gulp gulp.

The man gulped down the tea like water, as if it wasn’t even hot because it had cooled down a bit.

“And to announce that you’d do this and that in my name without even telling me…… What’s this? Anyone would think I’m the representative of Arc-en-Ciel, not the shareholders. Or is that actually the case? Huh?”

At the worst possible moment.

A completely different wind began to blow.

And the epicenter of that wind was none other than.

<The 2nd Hero’s Insignia (Takiki)>

▼Kyung-joon (Player)

Kyung-joon.

🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷

Shareholders’ Meeting.

A completely different wind began to blow due to the sudden appearance of Kyung-joon.

“W, Why are you here…!”

“Oh? Didn’t you know? I’ve been here since before the general meeting started.”

“Gasp?!”

The shareholders looked flustered.

But they soon regained their composure and pointed their fingers.

“Do you know what kind of place this is?! It’s a shareholders’ meeting! You, who don’t even own a single share, have no right to participate!”

“I own about 0.01%.”

“That’s not nearly enough!”

The shareholders continued to shout at the top of their lungs.

“This is internal information eavesdropping! Eavesdropping! Aren’t you being too arrogant, relying on Fairy King-nim without any qualifications!”

“Do you know that you’re tarnishing that historical title and Fairy King-nim’s reputation!”

“I knew it from the moment she bestowed the title on such an unknown otherworlder. Fairy King-nim has been doing this for too long. Her senses have dulled, no, completely…… Ugh, tsk tsk tsk.”

They tried to kick Kyung-joon out, claiming he had no right to participate in the shareholders’ meeting.

But Kyung-joon simply nodded, admitting they were right.

“You’re right. I have no right to participate.”

“If you know that, then don’t muddy the waters and just leave……”

“But if it’s my friend, it’s a different story.”

Tap.

Kyung-joon released ‘another’ Isolated System.

Actually.

Kyung-joon wasn’t the only one who participated in the shareholders’ meeting using Isolated System.

His friend.

<Guild Master of TheWorld’sGreatestMerchant>

<Fairy King Foundation’s Arc-en-Ciel Representative>

▼TheWorld’sGreatestMerchant (Player)

TheWorld’sGreatestMerchant was also there.

The reason Kyung-joon asked Siam to release the worst-case scenario, the circuit breaker, and intentionally turn the stock into a piece of paper.

That was to.

Make it easier to eat the Grand Magic Tower called Arc-en-Ciel, which was too big to fit in one bite, by pressing it down like a wrap.

And now was the moment when that wrap was complete.

『Non-participating shareholders (excluded) → TheWorld’sGreatestMerchant: 23.4%』

『Fael Alliance’s business king, Siam Tinya: 26.5%』

『CMO Ezeri: 1.2%』

『Kyung-joon: 0.01%』

A total of 51.11%!

“That, that can’t be……”

The shareholders’ faces turned pale.

“From now on, Arc-en-Ciel will enter the Kyung-joon regime. First of all, shareholders. To save our historic Grand Magic Tower, no, the piece of paper Arc-en-Ciel……”

Step by step.

Kyung-joon walked forward and stood in front of Siam, Ezeri, and TheWorld’sGreatestMerchant, like the ‘Magic Tower Master’ representing everyone.

With this, over 50%.

He obtained the unconditional 『right』 to decide and manage the future direction of the Magic Tower.

“First, I will deprive you of your management rights.”

For your information.

No objections will be accepted.

🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷

In the end, Arc-en-Ciel completely fell into Kyung-joon’s hands.

Ezeri conducting joint research with Kyung-joon and then being scouted to Arc-en-Ciel for 10 billion.

In the end, it came back to her as the acquisition of the entire Arc-en-Ciel.

Anyway.

All the shareholders who opposed Kyung-joon were deprived of their management rights.

Of course, they still hold Arc-en-Ciel shares, but TheWorld’sGreatestMerchant and Siam Tinya said they would take care of all the troublesome matters related to this.

They were exchanging pleasantries, saying they were glad to meet each other in person.

“We worked together briefly this time, and Merchant, you were a truly amazing friend. As expected of the person Mr. Descendant trusted and introduced.”

“Haha, you flatter me. Compared to Siam-nim, I’m just a newbie who’s just starting to make headway.”

“Hoho, you’re being too modest. The portfolio you put together in a day, I really felt that I still had a lot to learn. Was it called the Black-Scholes equation? When you completely excluded intuition and derived the same conclusion I had in mind solely through numbers and calculations, I was truly speechless. When I saw you, who’s only been in the World for 2 years, catch up to the experience I’ve accumulated over 700 years, I honestly felt a sense of crisis beyond surprise.”

“Haha, I still don’t know anything. It’s just that the ‘stock price’ contained everything I didn’t know. I just followed the direction the stock price led me. And it’s thanks to Kyung-joon-nim who calculated that for me.”

Kyung-joon also helped a little with what TheWorld’sGreatestMerchant was doing.

“So that’s what’s so amazing? Oh, I’m jealous. At this rate, the World might be dominated by otherworlders. Hohoho.”

Siam Tinya, the top of the Fael Alliance’s business world, and.

TheWorld’sGreatestMerchant, who started from scratch and has now risen to the largest player company that even large companies are wary of, the second-place graduate of Seoul National University’s Department of Business Administration.

With these two, you can completely trust them with all matters related to the stock price.

They are far more experts than Kyung-joon.

“Uh… Uh…?”

Ezeri, who still hasn’t grasped the situation, looked around like a pigeon.

Although she was a consistent and diligent elf, she was still quite lacking in quickly understanding these kinds of things.

But there are no complaints.

Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses, things they’re good at and things they’re not.

Her strengths, the ‘seeds’ that will make her successful in the future, Kyung-joon clearly saw them at the shareholders’ meeting just now.

Ezeri was definitely the person who would carry out and follow the big picture that Siam and TheWorld’sGreatestMerchant had set up better than anyone else.

“How about it? Do you still plan to go somewhere else if I offer you 10 billion?”

Kyung-joon asked Ezeri.

“What do you mean……?”

“Well, I won’t stop you. But I thought you might have felt something from this experience.”

“W,  Wait… Kyung-joon, you……”

Ezeri finally started to understand.

“Should I put it more simply?”

Ahem.

Kyung-joon cleared his throat and.

Then, with a mischievous smile, he made a smug expression.

“So who told you to be completely swayed by an offer of 10 billion?”

“You really took revenge on me?!”

Actually.

The fact that Ezeri was almost completely blamed and nearly became a scapegoat was all Kyung-joon’s revenge.

That’s why he asked Siam not to tell him that he was working on it.

“What…… What is that……! Uwaaaang! I almost ruined my life……! I thought my life was finally going well, but suddenly a virus spread and I got infected, and when I woke up, the Magic Tower had completely collapsed, and I was responsible for all of it……! Sob sob! I really prepared so hard, and it didn’t work out, so I really thought about dying……! But then you barely showed up and really, really, that’s too much! Uwaaaang!”

Ezeri, who learned the whole truth, collapsed and burst into tears like a child.

“Hahaha.”

Kyung-joon gave a wry smile and reached out his hand towards Ezeri’s head……

Instead of patting her, he opened the status window.

“Uwaaaang!”

Tap tap tap.

Kyung-joon typed on the virtual keyboard, chatting, regardless of whether Ezeri was smearing tears and snot on his pants.

“……”

Ezeri suddenly stopped crying and glared at Kyung-joon with a disgruntled look.

“Oh? Are you done crying?”

“……Yeah. I want to cry more, but I’m feeling down, so I’m just not going to.”

Ezeri let go of Kyung-joon’s pants that she was holding onto.

“Is that so?”

It must have been Kyung-joon’s fault that Ezeri felt down.

But regardless, Kyung-joon had a much more important matter at hand.

“So, what are you doing?”

“Two experts in setting up the big picture, and Ezeri is the one who will make that big picture happen one by one, and you’re the only one. So I’m thinking of adding one more person.”

The otherworlder TheWorld’sGreatestMerchant and the fairy Siam Tinya pair.

Kyung-joon was thinking of introducing another otherworlder to pair with the elf Ezeri.

[『Chat window with Kim Elsa』 ]

▶Kyung-joon: Once the jumping player event stabilizes, leave it to Kingyear or Liant and come to the Fael Alliance.

▶Kim Elsa: Suddenly?

▶Kim Elsa: But why the Fael Alliance?

▶Kyung-joon: To be precise, come to the Arc-en-Ciel Magic Tower in Magic Tower Valley, Favengarden, the capital of the Fael Alliance.

▶Kim Elsa: Why?

▶Kyung-joon: It went bankrupt and hit rock bottom, so you need to revive it.

▶Kim Elsa: ?????????????What the hell are you talking about?????

Nonsense.

Yoo Seol-ha, or rather Kim Elsa, couldn’t quite grasp the situation.

But it’s okay.

There’s an emoticon that’s perfect for this situation.

▶Kyung-joon: ^오^

▶Kim Elsa: What’s ^오^

▶Kim Elsa: Hey.

▶Kim Elsa: Hey

▶Kim Elsa: Hey hey

▶Kim Elsa: Hey???

▶Kim Elsa: Hey hey hey hey hey

▶Kim Elsa: Hey you son of a b****! I’m f****** exhausted because of the jumping event and now you’re asking me to!%$&!@($*

(Kyung-joon-nim has left the chat room.)

Anyway, with this.

He successfully passed the troublesome task of Arc-en-Ciel onto someone else.

She’s the granddaughter of the Seolha Group, so she’ll probably handle this brilliantly as well.

This is why it’s important to recruit the right people.

There’s a saying that any CEO, king, or president, any leader, is a successful leader if they have good aides.

“Oh, Siam. Speaking of which, I heard that Fairy King-nim left me a quest.”

“Ah, right. I forgot about that.”

The reason Kyung-joon revisited the Fael Alliance, where he had been for a while, was not only because of Arc-en-Ciel, but also for another reason.

The quest envelope from Fairy King that Siam handed him.

After checking the beginning, Kyung-joon smirked.

“Indeed, our Fairy King-nim is having a hard time because of me.”

“Right? For the past month, it’s been her daily routine to badmouth Mr. Descendant through spatial communication magic whenever she had the chance.”

“Well, it’s understandable.”

[Legendary Quest 『Fairy King’s Impeachment Crisis』 has been accepted.]

“She’s on the verge of being impeached, what should I do?”

<Well, how about going there and being a power behind the throne?>

“Oh. This could be fun.”

That’s right.

A month after accepting Kyung-joon.

Currently, Fairy King is facing an impeachment crisis.

For the first time since the founding of the Fairy-Elven Alliance!
