I Became an Academy Overpowered Growth Genius – 87

EP.87 New Heart, New Start (8)

“Uwoooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Kang Seo-jun roared.

The sound was as powerful as the Thu’um of a Dovahkiin.

– Rumble!! –

– Grrrr…. –

The ground shook, and buildings trembled from the Fus Ro Dah-level shout.

If Selev hadn’t already cast a concealment illusion spell around the area, the roar would have echoed across the entire academy campus.

“Kyaaah!!!”

“Hyaaah!!!”

Park Shin-hye, Selev, the demons—none of them were exceptions as they all clutched their ears tightly.

“Everyone!!!”

Selev screamed at the top of her lungs amidst the deafening noise.

“Stop him immediately!!!”

If they didn’t stop the monster’s roar soon, their eardrums felt like they would burst.

“Y-Yes, ma’am!”

“Kyaaah!!!”

Despite the terrifying thunderous roar, the demons managed to understand Selev’s command and charged at Kang Seo-jun, gritting their teeth.

One hand covered their ears while the other raised various weapons high.

Soon, a shower of blades and blunt weapons rained down on Kang Seo-jun’s head.

However….

“Too slooooooooow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Kang Seo-jun wasn’t going to just stand there and take such sluggish attacks.

◆Trait:

[Spirit Resonance (Earth) Lv. Rare]

– Kwaaaaaa!!!!!! –

As Kang Seo-jun raised both hands, the ground surged up like a tidal wave.

“Ugh!?”

“Waaah!!!”

-Kwachang!!!

The demons and their weapons collided with the sudden earthen wave, launching them into the air.

– Thud!!! –

Then, as if in one motion, Kang Seo-jun stomped the ground.

The earthen wave transformed into earthen spikes, impaling the airborne demons.

– Poook! –

– Pook! –

– Thud! –

“Ugh!?!”

“Kyaaah!!!”

“Aaagh!!!”

However, demons with the tenacity of cockroaches wouldn’t die just because they had a few holes in their bodies.

Thus, Kang Seo-jun didn’t stop and pushed his magic power to the maximum.

“Explode!!!”

Kang Seo-jun swung his arms like a maestro.

In response to his command, the earthen spikes swelled like balloons.

“Kyaaaah!!!”

“Guaaaah!!!”

-Boom!!!

-Bang!!!

The demons’ bodies couldn’t withstand the expanding earthen spikes and burst apart.

– Splash!!! –

– Thud thud thud!!! –

Black blood and flesh rained down from the sky.

The exchange lasted only 5 seconds.

In that brief moment, 8 out of the 36 demons lost their lives.

“Huuuu….”

Kang Seo-jun took a deep breath, covered in the remnants of the demons.

– Crack! Crackle! Crack! –

The transformation induced by the 《Downtown Reconstruction Serum (Full Body)》 was nearing its end.

Kang Seo-jun’s body, which had been transformed like the Hulk, quickly transformed into a well-toned physique reminiscent of Hanma Yujiro.

“W-What….”

Park Shin-hye, who had been crouching behind him, couldn’t help but gasp in admiration at his transformed back.

“Who… who are you….”

The more she looked, the more mysterious he seemed.

How could a human body change so drastically, like a slime?

Standing around 190 cm tall with long, muscular limbs.

A torso and shoulders exuding strength and rigidity.

His body was far more powerful and balanced than her own before she transitioned.

– Gulp! –

Park Shin-hye swallowed unconsciously as she gazed at his perfect back.

It was a physique that closely resembled the ideal she had always pursued.

Yes. When Park Shin-hye was Park Shin-hoo.

She had tirelessly worked to achieve such a strong physique.

But now, it was an ideal forever out of reach….

‘…Ah, ah….’

Her dream, lost forever….

– Gulp! –

Park Shin-hye swallowed once more.

The ultimate body she had longed for was right in front of her.

The admiration she originally held.

‘…An amazing body….’

And the regret for the possibility she had lost forever.

‘…I’m envious…. Jealous…!’

And then….

– Rumble~! –

“Huh, huh?!”

A strange, unfamiliar pull stirred in her lower abdomen.

‘What, what is this?!’

Park Shin-hye felt an attraction she had never experienced before.

‘What is this?!’

– Thump! Thump! Thump! –

Although she didn’t realize it, it was her genes sending her a message.

Right in front of her was a male with the best genes.

If she bore this man’s seed, she could have the best offspring.

This man was the very ideal male she had always admired.

The best and most capable male who could protect her.

– Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!!! –

– Thump! Thump! Thump!!! –

“Hah, hah…! Hah!”

The desire rising from a genetic level was truly irresistible.

‘What, what is this?! What is happening?!’

No logic, reason, crisis, or confusion could suppress the emotions her genes were forcibly sending.

‘Why, why, why all of a sudden?!’

What was this excitement blooming in her chest the moment she saw Kang Seo-jun’s back?

“Haa…! Haa…!”

The hyperventilation that had risen from fear and trauma was now transforming into hyperventilation driven by an irresistible, unfamiliar desire.

‘Now, including Selev, there are twenty-nine enemies left.’

Meanwhile, having completed his transformation, Kang Seo-jun calmly scanned the remaining enemies with the Eye of Providence.

‘And….’

He realized that Selev had the ‘Shackle of Surveillance’ attached to her.

‘Omen has placed a CCTV on Selev.’

Selev was essentially doing a live broadcast for Omen.

‘Fortunately, there’s quite a delay. The current situation isn’t being transmitted in real-time.’

[Shackle of Surveillance: Currently active. Time until transmission to caster… 12 minutes.]

There was a 12-minute delay.

It must be due to the illusion barrier Selev had set up.

The concealment illusion barrier covering the area was interfering with the curse’s transmission, causing the 12-minute delay.

‘That’s good for me.’

Kang Seo-jun smiled faintly, a wicked grin reminiscent of Freddy from Nightmare.

‘The effect of the Power Concentration Potion lasts for 5 minutes. So, if I wipe them all out within 5 minutes….’

Omen, the leader of the Red Inverted Cross, wouldn’t be able to detect Kang Seo-jun’s presence.

‘5 minutes is plenty. I’ll finish this in 3 minutes.’

To rampage freely, securing Park Shin-hye’s safety was crucial first.

– Rumble!!! –

Kang Seo-jun extended his hand backward and used earth spirit magic to create a stone coffin, enclosing Park Shin-hye.

“Huh, huh!”

Startled, Park Shin-hye tried to escape, but Kang Seo-jun mercilessly shoved her into the stone box.

“Eek!”

– Crack! –

– Thud! –

The stone coffin closed tightly, leaving only a small breathing hole.

“I’ll get you out in 5 minutes!”

– Rumble!! –

Using earth spirit magic, Kang Seo-jun split the ground and buried Park Shin-hye underground.

With this level of protection, no one except Selev could easily harm Park Shin-hye.

“What are you all doing!? Attack! Attack!!!”

Seeing Kang Seo-jun’s power, Selev shouted hysterically.

Only then did the dazed demons start moving again.

“He’s alone anyway!!!”

“Those below C rank, provide support from a distance!!!”

“Die!!!”

Even so, the demons had a semblance of a command structure, so this time, the [B-] rank and higher demons charged at Kang Seo-jun.

They knew that [C] rank demons couldn’t even create an opening.

However, Kang Seo-jun’s current pure specs were at [A++] level.

Including his traits and skills, he easily reached [S] rank.

Not only [C] rank but also [B] rank demons were no match for him.

“Kiraaaat☆!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Demacia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Kang Seo-jun channeled light attribute magic throughout his body.

– Zing!!! –

In an instant, he emitted a blinding light as bright as the sun.

– Boom!!! –

Soon, the radiant light burst into a spherical explosion, sweeping away the charging demons.

– Swoosh!!! –

Just that alone turned the demons to dust.

’30’. The light attribute explosion, condensed with [A+] rank magic power, was a force that [B] rank demons couldn’t withstand.

– Clang! –

– Clatter! –

Weapons fell to the ground with a clinking sound as their owners disintegrated.

– Swoosh!!! –

Kang Seo-jun leaped forward, quickly picking them up.

In his left hand, he held a massive greatsword, and in his right, a huge axe-spear.

“Keep your distance!”

“Don’t get close to him…!”

– Whoosh!!! –

Kang Seo-jun first threw the greatsword like a boomerang towards the alley where the demons were clustered.

– Crash!!! –

“Ugh!?”

“Ugh…!”

“Ack…!!!”

The [C] rank demons were mowed down like weeds meeting a lawnmower.

‘Now, the remaining ones….’

There were already fewer than 20 left.

In less than 2 minutes, Kang Seo-jun had wiped out over 16 demons and continued to move without stopping.

“He’s coming!!!”

“It’s impossible!!!”

“Run, run for your lives!!!”

The overwhelming difference in power.

The demons now realized that continuing the fight was meaningless.

However, Kang Seo-jun chased them down much faster than they could flee.

– Slash!!!! –

“Aaagh!!!”

“Ugh!!!”

“My leg! Ugh!!”

– Pook! –

– Crack! –

– Boom! –

With each swing of his axe-spear, the demons burst apart like straw.

It was a one-sided massacre, akin to a gory version of Dynasty Warriors.

“What, what is that…! That monster…!!!”

Even as her subordinates were being killed in real-time, Selev couldn’t bring herself to join the battle.

She had become certain within just a few minutes.

That she absolutely could not.

Even if she were to die and come back to life, she wouldn’t last three moves against that monster.

“What the hell is he!!!”

Not only did he freely manipulate the earth with spirit magic, but he also wielded light attribute magic…!

Why was someone with the power to operate on the front lines of the Tower or in legendary gates disguised as a mere student at the academy…!

“It was a trap… It was a trap from the beginning!!!”

Selev tore at her hood and screamed.

Where had this person come from…?

The World Hunter Union?

Or the Vatican, which specialized in hunting demons and vampires?

“No, no!”

Right now, the important thing wasn’t his background or identity.

“I have to run! I have to escape!”

Her life was on the line, so what did his identity matter?

Selev quickly turned to flee.

However.

– Swish! –

“Ugh!?”

A spear flew through the air with a tearing sound and pierced Selev’s lumbar spine precisely.

“Argh!!!”

– Thud! –

Selev collapsed on the spot.

Her lumbar spine shattered, rendering her legs completely useless.

“Huh, huh!”

“Where do you think you’re going? You can’t escape.”

A cold voice came from right behind Selev.

‘When did he get here…!’

“From now on, you’ll be a power source.”

– Thud! –

Kang Seo-jun struck Selev’s occipital bone.

“Ugh!”

– Thud! –

Selev lost consciousness and collapsed.

It was the moment when the first meal for the 《Life Support Device of Galactic Emperor》 was prepared.
