Became the Academy Mafia Episode 390
The biggest drawback of the Megus Paradox.
It was that his physical abilities were significantly reduced.
Even if the commotion in the classroom earlier had been resolved solely with my sense of familiarity with hand-to-hand combat, the problem was whether I could not only take revenge on the other guys with these abilities alone, but also properly solve the Megus Paradox.
However, it was a bit difficult to complete this quest using only regular attack methods.
The normal route would be to quietly live in an academy, acquire curse spells, and use that power to quietly take revenge behind the scenes… … .
“The problem is that it might take a few days.”
Yes. It took too long.
If so, wouldn’t it be more reasonable to find another way?
Developing the most efficient abilities that I can use right now.
[Name: Megus Doxxerer]
[Gender: male]
[Occupation: Academy 1st year]
[Bloodline: – ]
[Attribute: Witch Doctor]
[Skill: Reduced recovery, Mosquito Drain]
I sighed as there was no answer no matter how many times I looked, and got up from the bench I was sitting on and stretched.
“Whew, then it looks like things are getting better.”
The reason I had been sitting on the bench at the Academy until now was nothing special.
I just got into a fight with Park Geon-soo. This is because the load on the body was quite large.
‘I can’t believe my whole body ached just because I moved that. ‘What a weakling you really are.’
Since you don’t move directly when playing a game, all you need is control, but now you’re actually moving your body.
As such, there were also repercussions that followed.
‘There is a lot of work to be done from now on. really.’
I glanced at the clock and saw that lunch time was half over.
I think I moved for about 10 minutes, but having to rest for nearly an hour makes the fuel economy really miserable.
“Narrowly safe.”
Perhaps because we arrived at the restaurant less than 30 minutes before lunch time ended, there was almost no line.
In times like this, you need to recover your stamina.
As always, I go into the A line and ask for academics──
-You cannot use this device.
“ah?”
But the only answer that comes out is rejection.
Now I am Megus, not Han Yujin. In other words, not at the top of the Academy, but at the bottom.
For a moment, I forgot that I didn’t have the meal privileges I had been enjoying thanks to taking first place in the class ranking match.
“… … “I can’t help it.”
In the end, I sat in a seat far away after receiving the normal lunch that regular students eat.
Still, as expected from the food prepared by a professional nutritionist, the nutrients were well balanced.
‘It’s still a bit lacking… … .’
Isn’t it true that people are inherently more sensitive to losses than to additions? I felt it clearly as I lost what I had originally enjoyed.
No, how on earth do the kids below survive this?
After finishing the meal so quickly, I got up straight away and decided not to go back to class for class, but to head straight to another place.
The current point is the Academy in the distant past. If so, wouldn’t there also be items that only exist here?
I wasn’t going to live in this body for the rest of my life anyway, and I wasn’t going to get expelled for missing a class or two, so there shouldn’t be a problem with this level of deviation.
The place I headed to was where the instructors’ labs were gathered. Among them, it was a laboratory with an instructor who dealt with curses and witchcraft.
[Ghouldan]
Professor Gu Uldan. A warlock who was famous in the past when there were more dungeons around the world than there were villains.
At the time, the survival of humanity was at stake, so there were many cases where black magicians worked for humanity, and there were many cases where that perception was taken lightly.
A door that opens by itself with a sound.
Deciding that this was a sign that it was okay to come inside, I opened the door and went inside.
Could it really be said to be a warlock’s laboratory? Here and there, you can see living things and insect samples encased in formalin.
Even the claws, fingers, and eyeballs that seemed to belong to the monster were floating in the formalin… … .
“uh? This… … .”
Wolfbear’s chest hair?
This item is very difficult to obtain in modern times, as the dungeon where it appears has already disappeared.
Even at that time, there were very few dungeons in which it appeared, so I thought it was rare, but it was indeed the laboratory of an instructor who was researching with support from the academy.
“Wow, I can’t believe you recognize the wolf bear’s chest hair. “That’s surprising.”
At that time, a gruff voice that seemed to be scratching its throat came from inside.
When I turn my head and look in the direction where the voice came from, I see a familiar face I’ve seen several times in the event scene, holding a cane and wearing a black robe.
Warlock Ghoul Dan.
Originally a warlock active in Northern Europe, he was an awakened hero who awakened the characteristics of the cursed class and shed blood along with other heroes on the front lines.
In modern times, obviously… … I was spending my old age somewhere in Northern Europe. maybe?
“hello. “Instructor.”
“Yeah, the name is definitely… … It was Megus Doxxerer, right? What is going on here at this hour? “Lunchtime just ended a while ago?”
He glances at the clock in the lab, then looks back at me as he speaks.
“Yes, I’m being bullied so I don’t think I can go to this class. So I ran away here.”
“Hoo, you ran away? Not to any other place, but to my lab, which even regular students are afraid of?”
“I also deal with curses. So, I was wondering if Professor Uldan Ghoul would give me more affection than the other instructors.”

“Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk… … ! okay. You were the only student in the first year of the academy who could use curse words. Certainly, thinking about it that way makes me feel a little more sentimental. so. “I’m just going to sit down and rest, or something like that?”
“If that were the case, I would have run to the rooftop or home. “The reason I came here is to receive instruction from the instructor.”
“… … “Receive teachings?”
“Curse of Berserk. “To be precise, we want to get it stamped.”
“what… … ?”
The smile disappears from Uldan’s expression after hearing my words.
“you. “Do you know what that means?”
“yes.”
“The berserk curse is a curse that erodes your spirit and turns you into a beast. “Do you want me to tell you, a student, that?”
“To be exact, it is an imprint. “Unlike a curse, an imprint lasts for a short time and can be turned on and off by itself.”
“You also know that if this fact becomes known to the Academy, I will be heavily criticized, right?”
“Aren’t I a witch doctor too? If I just said I did it myself, no one would question it. “To begin with, it’s not like I usually hang out with the instructor.”
No matter what he said, words refuting him poured out of my mouth. It wasn’t that I couldn’t sympathize with him being so careful.
Berserk.
A type of Berserker mode that reduces one’s ego and strengthens one’s physical abilities to the extreme.
For me, as a witch doctor, this was the quickest way to increase my physical abilities.
However, since it takes a long time to learn the curse itself, the method chosen was imprinting.
Uldan, this was also the area he was researching at this time.
“Instructor, you have never carved a berserk engraving on a human before. How do you feel? Aren’t you curious what would happen if you engraved that on a human being?”
At my question, his body flinched and trembled.
Of course, he would know. In the end, experiments on humans are the most important.
However, he is currently wearing the name of an academy instructor.
If I tried to do such an experiment carelessly and it went wrong, I would have lost not only the research funds but also all the honor I had built so far in an instant, so I would not have even attempted it.
But suddenly, a student approaches him and asks to have that engraved engraved on him? Also, is there a ‘Curse Doctor’ that matches well with the engraving? It was clear that it was an offer that even he could not help but drool over.
Gulp-
I can already hear the sound of him drooling in my ears.
Yes, I wonder if I really don’t know you.
In the end, he was discovered carrying out dangerous experiments and was kicked out, returning to his hometown of Northern Europe.
How could such a person ignore such a proposal now?
I think there were two reactions he had in total.
“I——.”
Did you accept it right away?
“I can’t do it like this──.”
Put conditions on it.
“What this means is that it is possible if certain conditions are met.”
He nods his head at my words.
“you… … “You want to get revenge on the kids who have bullied you, right?”
“To be exact, we plan to crush it tomorrow in Dalian.”
“It’s tomorrow… … Cluck! That’s why you were so hasty.”
There are a few things I have to do right away, and of course I have to finish them within a day.
“I also have a lot of things to research while receiving support from the academy. But can’t I put my clothes on the line to help you get revenge? “Your neck and my neck don’t fit together!”
Saying that, boom! said Ul’dan, slamming down his staff.
“Please bring an artifact or item that can protect your mind from berserk. “If you can wear it and withstand the berserk attack I throw on you, I will engrave it on you.”
“It’s an item that protects the spirit… … .”
If I had my original characteristics, the side effects of berserk wouldn’t be a big concern.
This was because the resistance to abnormal status due to the trait [Dragon Slayer] was significant. But there is nothing like that in this body. In the end, as he said, he needed something to protect his mind.
I closed my eyes for a moment and started thinking. Is there something like that around here?
hmm… … .
“ah.”
It occurred to me.
“Okay, I’ll see you in ten minutes.”
“what? “Hours, ten minutes?”
They say to remove the ox horn as soon as possible, but wouldn’t it be easier to get it right now?
I left the lab and headed to the back of the academy’s cathedral, which was where theology classes and priest students mainly worked.
“According to the text, it would have been here.”
Right next to the Virgin Mary statue at the back of the cathedral. A place where the grass grows longer than other places.
When I dug into it with my bare hands, I soon caught something hard on my fingertips.
“bingo.”
As I dug further, I took out a small wooden box inside and immediately opened the lid.
[New item discovered!]
[Name: Rosary of Saint Anthony]
[Grade: Unique]
[Type: Relic]
[Description: A strong saint who did not succumb to the temptations of demons. This is a wooden cross that belonged to Saint Anthony. Greatly increases the owner’s mental strength.]
A holy relic that boasts tremendous cost-effectiveness in terms of mental defense.
Originally, it would have to be found by its original owner after a year, but this world was created by Megus’ sorrow anyway.
Shouldn’t we use everything that is available?
With the Rosario still around my neck, I went straight back to Instructor Uldan’s lab and showed him the Rosario.
“It is a holy relic that increases mental power. “Is this enough?”
“… … “It’s ridiculous.”
Was it strange that I made such a bold request? He opens his mouth and shakes his head.
“What do you mean?”
“It’s ridiculous for you to talk about something that could be considered a sacred object as if it was something that was stuck in a corner of the house.”
“Well, it’s similar.”
After all, this too was picked up from the ground.
“But surely a sacred object, the kind that protects the spirit, would be enough.”
After saying that, he raised his head towards me and said.
“First of all, let me cast the curse of berserk on you first. “I need to know how you react here so I can engrave it on you.”
“please.”
thud! He strikes the ground with the tip of his staff and briefly recites.
“Berserk.”
As his eyes turn red, the black energy leaking from the wand is absorbed into my body.
And at the same time.
“Ugh?!”
My head starts to tingle.
When emotions start to surge, as if pieces of metal floating through your veins have entered your head, and it becomes a little difficult to think… … .
“ah. sick!”
From my mouth.
“still! “I’m fine!”
A strange tone of voice came out.
games, guitars,
