I Became an Academy Overpowered Growth Genius – 52

EP.52 Park Shin-hoo in Crisis (6)

The black nun who had delivered the mission to Credo last night.

She was hiding at the top of a tall tree, watching intently in the direction where Credo was performing his mission.

As it was an important mission to kidnap the heir of the Taesan Group, it was her role to confirm the success or failure of the mission and report back to her superiors.

‘I hope Credo doesn’t drag this out for too long….’

No matter how much Credo concealed the scene with his concealment magic, this place was clearly the enemy territory of Stellaport.

It was a place where academy instructors or nearby hunters could intervene at any time.

‘Of all times for the target to change to Park Shin-hoo…’

If there was one problem with the elite assault instigator Credo of the Red Cross Society, it was his ferocious sexual desire.

When a handsome man was the target, the time it took to complete the mission would multiply several times.

It was because he would spend hours, even days, endlessly indulging in his sexual desires with the prey he caught.

Since the superiors were aware of this, Credo’s targets were supposed to be assigned to women in their twenties or unattractive men, but unfortunately, this time, all the other assault teams were too busy, so they had no choice but to entrust Park Shin-hoo’s case to Credo.

‘I’d like to urge him to intervene right now and finish the mission quickly…’

If someone interrupted Credo’s happy time, he would kill them without distinguishing who they were.

‘I have no choice but to wait quietly until Credo comes out… In the end, I’m just watching my downfall.’

All she could do now was to watch whether the instructors and disciples around her were approaching Credo.

‘Sigh…. It would have been nice to see what was happening inside. How long do I have to wait?’

Credo’s concealment magic did not distinguish between friends and foes, so even the black nun, who was supervising the scene, could not know what was happening inside.

“Tsk.”

It was a moment when the black nun, feeling frustrated, inadvertently clicked her tongue.

– Ugh. –

“Hmm?”

Someone suddenly popped out from inside the concealment barrier.

‘What?’

The black nun’s forehead quickly wrinkled as she confirmed his face.

‘It’s Park Shin-hoo!?’

Swinging his arms widely, he was running briskly, a perfect sprint.

There wasn’t even a Demon following behind him.

‘What!? Why is Park Shin-hoo coming out alone? Why isn’t anyone following him!? Someone should be chasing him!’

With eyes full of suspicion, the black nun stared at the spot where the barrier had been opened.

‘Wait, did they really lose him!? Credo’s assault team lost Park Shin-hoo!?’

Credo’s assault team consisted of highly skilled individuals who had reached an average of B-grade, with Credo himself being an elite among elites capable of producing firepower up to S+ grade.

In fact, they would be a force to be reckoned with even if all the academy instructors in this forest were to attack together.

‘But they lost Park Shin-hoo? What’s going on!?’

Credo, who couldn’t resist a handsome man, losing someone like Park Shin-hoo was unthinkable.

It just couldn’t happen.

Then, what in the world…?

‘What’s happening inside that barrier!?’

The black nun’s pupils trembled violently as she took a deep breath and shook her head.

‘No, the situation over there is not important right now. At this rate, we’ll lose the target.’

The black nun shifted her gaze towards Park Shin-hoo.

Park Shin-hoo was running with all his might towards the academy camp.

If he reached the camp, the kidnapping mission would fail.

If the boundary between the academy and the Taesan Group strengthened due to this incident, kidnapping Park Shin-hoo in the future would become even more difficult.

‘I have to act. First, secure the target.’

The black nun threw herself under the tree.

Meanwhile,

– Cough cough! –

“Ugh..! Ugh..!”

Park Shin-hoo, who was running at full speed, was filled with thoughts of Kang Seo-Jun.

‘Why did Kang Seo-Jun save me?’

Did his mediocre sense of heroism ignite?

The answer to that question came to a simple conclusion.

‘No matter what his intentions are, it doesn’t matter.’

If he wants to be a meat shield, let him be.

All that mattered to Park Shin-hoo was his own safety.

He was a narcissist to the core, only thinking about himself.

– Huff huff! –

Park Shin-hoo exhaled deeply, barely managing to catch his breath, and moved his legs even faster.

At that moment,

– Crunch! –

“Gasp!”

Suddenly, a beautiful woman in a black nun’s outfit appeared and blocked the path about 30 meters ahead.

However, Park Shin-hoo didn’t stop running.

He didn’t even think about why there was a nun here.

He had no time for such thoughts while running at full speed.

“You’re blocking the way!”

He would just push aside anything blocking his path and keep going.

Park Shin-hoo extended his leg and infused mana into the ground.

Shoosh!

He intended to use earth spirit magic to throw the nun to the side.

“……Huh?”

However, only the loud sound of stepping on fallen leaves echoed through the area.

There was no movement from the spirits that Park Shin-hoo had expected.

“Huh, what?”

He couldn’t sense them.

The whispers of the spirits, which had been vivid until just now.

“What, what?!”

– Thud! –

The black nun grabbed Park Shin-hoo’s neck as he approached and choked him.

“Ke, keuk!!”

As he gasped for air, Park Shin-hoo writhed in agony, his limbs twitching.

– Gasp! –

The black nun mercilessly slammed Park Shin-hoo’s head into a nearby tree, causing him to lose consciousness and collapse.

The black nun looked at Park Shin-hoo in disbelief.

‘You lost this guy?’

He’s so weak and stupid?

The black nun glanced in the direction where Credo’s magic had spread like a barrier.

‘Should I check the scene?’

She quickly shook her head.

‘No, let’s not go in. If I make a mistake, I might not be able to get out either.’

The fact that such a weakling had escaped meant that there was something inside that even Credo’s assault team couldn’t handle.

Since Demons had no loyalty or obligation to save each other, avoiding such a dangerous possibility was the obvious choice.

‘Well, I’ve secured the mission objective. Shall I head back now?’

After all, her mission was only to supervise the kidnapping of Park Shin-hoo.

Now that the mission objective was in her hands, she didn’t care how the rest unfolded.

Due to the sudden disappearance of Park Shin-hoo, the heir of the Taesan Group, all activities at the academy for that day, including afternoon classes and the entire week’s schedule, were canceled.

The academy staff moved with the police for investigative cooperation, and the Taesan Group, the biggest victim of this incident, would have started its own investigation and emergency meetings.

However, Kang Seo-Jun, the mastermind behind all these events, was sitting calmly on the sofa in his dormitory.

“I didn’t expect Eun-ha to react like that.”

Kang Seo-Jun recalled the incident a while ago when he was with Seo Eun-ha on his way back to the academy camp after finishing his hunt.

“You said you could fix that body! Tell me more! More details…! No, do you need more help!? Just say the word now!!”

“Calm down. Thanks to you, we have all the ingredients we need for the medicine.”

The image of Seo Eun-ha, with tears in her eyes and her hand on her chest, repeating how lucky she was, was deeply impressed in Kang Seo-Jun’s mind.

“I didn’t expect her to be so happy.”

He was quite touched by her genuine feelings towards him.

The item ‘Records of Destiny’ had certainly changed the relationship between her and himself a lot.

“I want to quickly recover and do a lot for Jin Se-rin and Seo Eun-ha.”

Seeing a loved one happy is a very happy thing.

Kang Seo-Jun wanted to grow quickly and do a lot for Jin Se-rin and Seo Eun-ha.

“Now, shall we start?”

It was time to take the newly purchased potion, ‘Luxury Steroid for Beginners in the Downtown’.

Kang Seo-Jun first opened his status window.

《Item》

▶ Luxury Steroid for Beginners in the Downtown

◆ Grade:

[Legendary]

◆ Description:

A state-of-the-art steroid pill developed by a legendary bodybuilder from an advanced space civilization for beginners with weak bodies. It is a luxury item containing the essence of nanomachines and chemistry. It has excellent effects and almost no side effects, but it is very expensive and in high demand among young rich people in Downtown. With this pill alone, even a weak anchovy can have muscles like an athlete overnight.

When consumed, strength, agility, endurance, health, and senses each increase by +1.

When strength, agility, endurance, health, and senses are all 5 or less, consuming it will increase physical stats by +5 each.

※Caution! Stats above 16 cannot benefit from the effects!

————–

With just one pill, you can drastically increase each of the five physical stats by +5.

You might think that it would only upgrade you from F-rank to E-rank, but in reality, E-rank is equivalent to the physique of an athlete.

Of course, due to various debuff traits, expecting athlete-level performance is difficult, but that too is just a matter of time to improve.

‘If my Scoliosis, Reverse Joints, and Twisted Arm improve with this, my physical training efficiency will improve significantly.’

With just one pill, not only can you increase your total stats by a whopping ’25,’ but you can also increase the rate of growth.

It’s truly a phenomenal growth and acceleration.

Kang Seo-Jun put the pill in his mouth and swallowed it with water.

“Zadgaerae~”

It was the moment when Kang Seo-Jun’s growth sprouted wings.
