Academy Munchkin Grew Up To Become a Genius

Episode 17 Friend (2)

As soon as Kang Seo-jun returned home, he collapsed and fell asleep without even thinking about taking a shower.

He somehow managed to drag his miserable body around with superhuman willpower, but even that had its limits.

The next day dawned so quickly.

“Ugh….”

Kang Seo-jun woke up on a bed that was heavily soiled with dirt and pus.

His head is pounding due to all the debuffs, and it looks like he might vomit at any moment.

Add to that the fatigue from yesterday’s work, and every bone and muscle in his body screamed in real time.

Kang Seo-jun endured it all with superhuman willpower and led himself to the bathroom.

-Gurrrrrr!

The toilet flushes forcefully.

There was a lot of work to do today.

I had to purify the hell slime mold with mana slime mold, and I also had to sort out the system messages that rang occasionally during the night.

Kang Seo-jun first threw all the dirty clothes into the washing machine and took a shower.

-Shoot!

The old dust and dried pus were coolly swept away by the warm water.

After taking a shower, he applied the ‘Bunhwagye Skin Moisturizer’ purchased at the dimension store all over his body.

-Chideok! Chideok!

It was an all-purpose moisturizer that soothed skin rashes and itchiness and even had a skin moisturizing effect.

Because the skin was rotting in real time, such careful care was needed even if dimensional currency was paid.

After finishing skin care, Kang Seo-jun opened the window and sprayed the ‘Business Cleaning Spray’ on the bed.

-Chiek! Chick! Chick!

-Bubble Bubble Bubble

The liquid sprayed on the bed boiled and bubbled, then evaporated, wiping away the pus stains and dirt.

Clean hygiene is also essential to protect this miserable and weak body from all kinds of diseases.

This was also a necessary expenditure.

Kang Seo-jun threw himself onto the clean bed.

-Full seating!

“It’s much better.”

The sheets, which were once sticky and squishy, quickly became soft and cozy.

First, Seojun Kang opened the system message window that he had not been able to check because he was sleeping yesterday.

[Strength experience increases by stealing the host’s experience!]

[Durability experience increases by stealing the host’s experience!]

[Sensory experience increases by stealing the host’s experience!]

.

.

.

[By robbing the host of its efforts, physical strength becomes the fruit of growth! Physical strength increases by +1!]

[By robbing the host of its efforts, agility bears the fruit of growth! Agility stat increases by +1!]

Park Shin-hoo seemed to have devoted himself to training all night long.

Thanks to this, my stamina and agility each grew by +1 even though I only slept overnight.

Kang Seo-jun opened the status window and checked the current specifications.

Lowest Level], [Clubfoot Lv. Lowest Level], [Twisted Arm Lv. Lowest Level], [Sick Constitution Lv. Lowest Level], [Mana Insensitivity Lv. Lowest Level], [Man-eating Parasite Lv. Lowest Level], [Cancer Stage 4 Lv. Lowest Level] ]]]]]………

◆Skill

[Time to Counterattack Lv. Epic], [Parasite Growth Lv. Epic]

───────────────────

Thanks to the quest’s ability reward, the constellation’s ability value support, and compensation for parasitic growth, my stats increased quite a bit in one day.

Of course, the overall spec is still very poor, but with this level of growth, it would not be long before he could easily surpass the level of an ordinary cadet.

[Skill 《Parasite Growth》 special effect activated! Select the characteristics to steal or pass on to the host.]

[Skill 《Parasite Growth》 special effect activated! Select the characteristics to steal or pass on to the host.]

Thanks to Park Shin-hoo’s hard work throughout the night, two trait exchange tickets were created.

Kang Seo-jun pondered while carefully examining each of his debuff characteristics.

What should I do this time?

There was no hesitation for the first time.

[You have selected 《Cancer Stage 4 Lv. Lowest Level》 as the characteristic to be passed on to the host.]

He still had a week and a few days left until admission, but he was not confident that he could survive that time with stage 4 cancer.

-Wooow!

[The trait 《Cancer Stage 4 Lv. Lowest》 is downgraded to the attribute 《Cancer Stage 3 Lv. Lowest》.]

[Host 《Park Shin-hoo》 gains the attribute 《Cancer Stage 2 Lv. Low》.]

I felt a sense of refreshment throughout my body as the blood vessels that had been blocked by the tumor were opened and the muscles that were weighed down were relaxed.

Breathing became easier, pain lessened, and my mind became clearer.

With this, Kang Seo-Jun’s lifespan would have been extended by at least a few months.

There is now only one trait exchange ticket left.

How can I write this….

It is no longer good to pass on cancer.

Park Shin-hoo is currently Kang Seo-jun’s debuff trash can, but he is also an experience shuttle.

If you want to use it for as long as possible without damaging it, you must carefully pass on debuff characteristics.

If Park Shin-hoo gets sicker, she will stop training and focus on chemotherapy for the time being.

Then Kang Seo-jun cannot suck experience points from him.

So, first of all, cancer is eliminated.

It is difficult to pass on man-eating parasites right now.

Park Shin-hoo will drink the elixir like water every day, so if he hastily passes on the man-eating parasites….

The man-eating parasite that quickly became an adult could pierce Park Shin-hoo’s stomach and pop out.

If Park Shin-hoo dies, Kang Seo-jun loses the useful experience shuttle and debuff characteristic trash can.

So, the man-eating parasites are also eliminated.

“Hmm….”

Is there a trait that Park Shin-hoo can possess that is moderately useful and yet not ruinable?

“Oh.”

Just then one caught my eye.

◆Characteristics

[Insomnia Lv. Low]

I woke up several times today because of this guy.

[You have selected 《Insomnia Lv. Low》 as the trait to pass on to the host.]

If Park Shin-hoo suffered from insomnia, he would have increased his training time every night he couldn’t sleep.

Then, the experience points that Kang Seo-jun absorbs will also increase.

If Park Shin-hoo gets tired from not being able to sleep, his training efficiency may decrease, but as the total amount of training increases, the experience gained will ultimately increase.

Park Shin-hoo’s life would be more difficult, but Kang Seo-jun didn’t have any regrets.

Because he was a villain in name and reality in all episodes.

The most valuable treatment for a guy like that was to use him as fertilizer for his growth.

-Wooow!

[The trait 《Insomnia Lv. Low》 disappears.]

[Host 《Park Shin-hoo》 gains the trait 《Insomnia Lv. Low》.]

I felt that the noises that had been wriggling like complicated scribbles in my head were becoming quieter.

“I’ll have a good night’s sleep tonight for the first time in days.”

Kang Seo-jun stood up, stretching carefully so as not to strain his back.

Now that we’ve cleaned up the system, it’s time to organize the loot we got yesterday.

Kang Seo-jun took out a glass bottle of nutrient solution that he had kept in the refrigerator.

The hellish slime mold was still swimming briskly in the green nutrient solution.

He sat down on the bed again and placed the tools he needed for work on the floor one by one.

Nutrient solution containing hell slime mold, disposable combination box, holy water of a favored saint, mana crystal….

It was not a job that required a lot of materials or complicated processes.

All I had to do was purify the hellish slime mold.

Kang Seo-jun opened the lid of the nutrient solution and poured out the mana crystals.

And then I put it in the combination box with the lid open.

I similarly placed the saint’s holy water next to the nutrient solution with the lid open and closed the combination box.

-Pusik! Pusik!

There are four things to watch out for in this process.

Hell slime mold must be alive.

Keep it within reach of the mana crystals and hell slime mold.

Be careful not to allow the saint’s holy water to come in direct contact with the hellish slime.

Leave the lid of the glass bottle open to prevent the ingredients from being sealed.

In fact, even if this process was performed without any errors, the probability of success in this work was not very high.

According to statistics, it is about 3%.

Usually, hell slime molds die because they cannot survive the purification process.

-Peeing!

[Combination success! 《Hell Slime》 is purified into 《Mana Slime》!]

However, to Kang Seo-jun, that 3% probability was a meaningless statistic.

His luck was 50. It was no exaggeration to say that it was almost the realm of a demigod.

-Push Si….

When Kang Seo-jun opened the combination box, white smoke seeped out like an icebox.

Kang Seo-jun put his hand into the smoke and took out a glass bottle of nutrient solution.

The slime mold that looked like red flesh just a moment ago had turned into blue jelly.

Kang Seo-jun carefully brought the nutritional solution to his mouth.

He closed his eyes tightly and inhaled the spirit liquid and mana slime, careful not to let out any noise.

In order to transplant the mana slime mold throughout the body, the best way was to place it in the stomach.

– Jump, jump, jump! Jump up!

Kang Seo-jun’s neck rose and fell intermittently.

“Umm…”

The texture was runny, but the flavor was refreshing and unbalanced.

[The mana slime mold is attempting to take root in your body!]

At that time, the man-eating parasite, suffering from hunger 24 hours a day, discovered new prey and pounced.

[The trait 《Man-Eating Parasite Lv. Lowest》 is biting the mana slime mold!]

“Bugs…”

Kang Seo-jun quickly purchased a ‘busy-type repellent’ at the dimension store.

Anthelmintic medicine made in a highly developed civilization.

It was a drug that killed only the harmful bacteria without harming the beneficial bacteria.

Kang Seo-jun quickly swallowed it with water.

[I am taking 《Bullworm insect repellent》! The man-eating parasites are writhing in pain. The man-eating parasites enter a state of fainting for a certain period of time.]

Because they are so poisonous, the only thing you can do with street insect repellent is to briefly stun them.

But this is enough for now.

I just need to give the mana slime mold time to take root in my body.

If the mana slime mold successfully takes root, it will grow prosperously in various parts of the body where the teeth of the man-eating parasite cannot reach.

[The mana slime mold has succeeded in taking root in the body! You have acquired the attribute 《Mana Slime Lv. Rare》!]

───────《Characteristics》───────

▶Name

[Mana Slime Mold]

◆Grade

[Rare]

◆Description

-A symbiotic organism that takes root in the host’s body and produces mana in exchange for nutrients.

-This entity is currently [Infancy].

──────────────────

“Seup. It’s done.”

Kang Seo-jun cleared his throat with a glass of purified water.

With this, your mana will automatically grow just by breathing.

Although the Mana Slime mold is currently young and its level is rare, if it is managed and grown well, its level will rise to legendary level or higher.

What will my mana ability be by then?

Maybe a tier 1 trait like 《Blessing of Mana》 will appear.

If that happens, you will be able to enjoy the wealth of the top 1% in the world just by working as a wizard.

Kang Seo-jun smiled with anticipation and looked out his window.

-Tweet.

I can hear the birds chirping.

A spectacular view of the Stellaport cityscape and the blue East Sea.

Among them, you can see the Korean Hunter Academy, the main background of [Grand Hunter Academy].

As Kang Seo-jun looked down at the academy, he hoped that the admission date would come soon.

Once the story begins in earnest, his growth toward a happy life in another world will accelerate even more.
