I Became an Academy Overpowered Growth Genius – 108

EP.108 Phantom Thief Kang Seo-jun (6)

As soon as Kang Seo-jun finished farming on Ulleungdo, he returned straight to the academy dormitory.

▶Dimensional Shop Teleport Scroll

This item can only be used once a day, and its usage resets at midnight.

Since the farming session extended past midnight, he could easily return using the teleport scroll.

‘Ah, but…. I’m worried about Sakura.’

Although he couldn’t go back now, he felt he might have wrapped things up too hastily.

‘Sakura…. I did provide first aid, so there shouldn’t be any health or aftereffect issues….’

Her mind, contaminated by dark mana, would be purified by the healing totem he had set up. However,

‘I’m worried about not erasing her memory….’

Of course, the chances of Sakura having seen Kang Seo-jun’s face properly were low. The secret storage was so dark due to the thick dark mana that the corridor was pitch black, and their encounter lasted barely two seconds.

Although the fight itself lasted over a minute, Sakura had been lying face down the entire time, and Kang Seo-jun had even pinned her head down, so she couldn’t have seen him clearly.

‘But she might remember my silhouette and voice.’

Since he was the one who defeated her, she would try to gather clues and track him down somehow. She wouldn’t just let it go.

‘Well, my silhouette changes every day, so that’s not a big deal, but my voice is the problem….’

Although his voice had been somewhat different due to the urgency of the situation, it was still a concern.

‘Should I not worry about it…?’

With a luck stat of ’50’, things shouldn’t go badly, right? But it was a problem that couldn’t be solved by worrying.

‘Even if it bothers me, there’s nothing I can do. I didn’t have a way to deal with it at the time.’

▶ Memory Eraser for Secret Agents

If the target has any stat of 26 or higher in durability, intelligence, or will, the effect may not work.

The memory eraser Kang Seo-jun frequently used was only effective on [B] grade weaklings. Using it on a monster like Sakura, who was at [S- ] grade, would just break it.

‘Dark mana can also erase memories, but…’

His mana stats were still insufficient to erase the memories of an [S- ] grade superhuman. He had only been able to knock her out with dark mana because he had shot her with three doses of 《Peripheral Space Monster Tranquilizer》.

Even though she was unconscious, infiltrating her mental world to manipulate memories was beyond his current capabilities.

‘In the end, this seemed to be the best course of action.’

If he had tampered any further, Sakura might have woken up. Given her extremely sensitive senses and monstrous recovery rate, if she had woken up, surely….

Although she wouldn’t have been able to wield a sword since he had already taken it, she would have undoubtedly pierced Kang Seo-jun’s heart with a hand strike.

‘Moreover, he had stripped her naked….’

She might have misunderstood his intentions, thinking he was trying to assault her, and she wouldn’t have killed him easily.

– Chills! –

Just thinking about it made him feel fortunate to have returned alive.

‘Okay. Enough worrying. Meeting Sakura was a stroke of luck. Things will work out somehow in the future.’

No matter what variables arise from that encounter, it won’t be a problem. By then, Kang Seo-jun would be stronger, and he would have a way to handle any issues that came his way.

‘Let’s focus on the task at hand.’

Kang Seo-jun tapped on the system window to open a portal and entered the 《Dimensional Rift Warehouse》.

‘First, let’s enter the 《Life Support Device of Galactic Emperor》 and treat the debuff traits.’

He could buy combat skills tomorrow. Since he was purchasing from the dimensional shop, he could take his time during the self- study period in the morning to choose one carefully.

On the other hand, treating debuff traits could only be done during personal time like now. So, it was better to prioritize healing over combat skill shopping.

‘Let’s see….’

The floor of the warehouse was piled with items of [Epic] grade or higher. These were all spoils taken from Omen and Sakura.

Kang Seo-jun neatly organized the scattered items and took inventory.

Eight [Epic] grade items and one [Legendary] grade item.

‘If I convert all of these into power sources for the 《Life Support Device of Galactic Emperor》….’

Including the mixed [Epic+] and [Epic- ] grade items, he calculated a total of ‘1580’ power units. Adding the remaining ’20’ power units he already had, he had a total of ‘1600’ power units.

‘Is this also due to luck? It fits perfectly.’

This amount was enough to erase a whopping 16 lowest- grade debuffs.

‘What should I erase this time….’

As always, the first criterion was ‘growth.’ He needed to deal with the ones that most hindered his growth.

Debuffs that hindered physical stat growth like [Chronic Fatigue Lv. Lowest], [Pneumothorax Lv. Lowest], [Thyroid Dysfunction Lv. Lowest], [Myocardial Infarction Lv. Lowest], and so on.

Debuffs that hinder the growth of mana and resistance like [Narrow Mana Circuits Lv. Lowest], [Condensed Impurities Lv. Lowest], etc.

Debuffs that hinder the growth of intelligence and willpower like [Early Stage Mild Alzheimer’s (Progressing) Lv. Lowest], [Bipolar Disorder Lv. Lowest], etc.

Debuffs that hinder the acquisition and mastery of combat skills like [Swordsmanship Dullard Lv. Lowest], [Tofu Fists Lv. Low], etc.

‘Hmm….’

◆Traits

[Persistent Tooth Decay Bacteria Lv. Lowest], [Herpes Type 1 Lv. Lowest], [Herpes Type 2 Lv. Lowest], [Stomatitis Lv. Lowest], [Bad Breath Lv. Lowest], [Syphilis Lv. Lowest], [AIDS Lv. Lowest], [Gonorrhea Lv. Lowest], [Tonsillitis Lv. Low]….

Since Se-rin had been getting physically close more frequently, it seemed wise to prevent potential infections by curing various bacteria and sexually transmitted diseases now.

‘Hmm….’

Choosing the debuff traits he wanted to treat immediately, he already had 19. This exceeded the power capacity of the 《Life Support Device of Galactic Emperor》.

‘Well…. I can make up for the shortage with dimensional currency.’

Having just finished farming, he had a decent amount of dimensional currency. He could buy power sources from the dimensional shop to handle a few debuff traits.

‘So, I’ll be treating 19 debuff traits today alone. At this rate, I might become completely normal sooner than I thought.’

◆Traits

[Erectile Dysfunction Lv. Lowest], [Hair Loss Lv. Lowest], [Azoospermia Lv. Lowest], [Hemophilia Lv. Lowest], [Sleep Paralysis Lv. Lowest], [Ptosis Lv. Lowest], [Glaucoma Lv. Lowest], [Deep- rooted Wisdom Teeth Lv. Lowest]….

Of course, there were still hundreds of debuff traits left to treat. But….

‘Not all debuff traits need to be treated with the 《Life Support Device of Galactic Emperor》.’

In fact, many debuff traits had already disappeared naturally as Kang Seo-jun grew.

Just from the effects of the 《Downtown Reconstruction Serum (Full Body) Lv. Legendary》, debuff traits like [Clubfoot], [Twisted Arm], [Hunchback], [Habitual Shoulder Dislocation], [Arthritis], [Weak Ligaments], [Cold Hands and Feet], [Varicose Veins] had all been resolved.

Moreover, it wasn’t just physical debuff traits that had been resolved.

With his willpower reaching ’33’, debuff traits related to substance dependence like [Alcohol Addiction], [Nicotine Addiction], [Outer Space Peripheral Drug Addiction] had almost all disappeared.

Thanks to consistent body care with Downtown nutritional supplements and medicines, debuff traits related to constitution like [Anemia], [Diabetes], [Hyperlipidemia], [Hypertension] had significantly improved, and skin- related debuff traits like [Athlete’s Foot], [Corns], [Warts] were almost completely cured.

‘Of course, there’s still a long way to go.’

Although everything was being resolved smoothly, there were still at least 300 debuff traits that could only be treated with the 《Life Support Device of Galactic Emperor》.

To treat them all, he would need 30 [Legendary] grade power sources and 3 [Mythical] grade power sources.

‘But….’

Considering there are plenty of debuff traits like [Night Blindness], [Hyperhidrosis], and [Ptosis] that don’t urgently need treatment….

‘There’s no need to keep converting loot into power sources for the 《Life Support Device of Galactic Emperor》. Soon, I might be able to use it for ‘stat enhancement’ instead of ‘debuff trait healing’.’

The 《Life Support Device of Galactic Emperor》 wasn’t just for healing debuff traits. Although it required some dimensional currency for modifications….

If he modified the 《Life Support Device of Galactic Emperor》 into the 《Brilliant Cradle of the Young Divine Emperor》, he could almost instantly raise all stats to ’25’ and even ’35’ without much difficulty.

‘From ’36’ onwards, each 2 points in stats would require one [Mythical] grade item…. So the efficiency drops a bit from there….’

Still, aiming for all stats ’40’ wasn’t too difficult.

‘All stats ’40’ would already place him among the world’s top- tier powerhouses.’

At that level, his hunter rank would be around [SS+]. There would be almost no one in the world, including the frontlines of legendary gates and towers, who could match Kang Seo-jun.

By then, he could loot demon groups like the ‘Red Cross Society’ as easily as raiding a friend’s fridge.

‘Minor debuffs can be treated later.’

Once he gains power, what’s a few [Legendary] grade power sources or [Mythical] grade power sources? He could buy plenty of [Transcendent] grade items from the dimensional shop.

‘I’m looking forward to it.’

Kang Seo-jun didn’t feel that time was far off.

‘All I needed to do was kill Omen.’

Once Omen was dead and his subordinate demons scattered, Kang Seo-jun could monopolize all the loot Omen had hidden everywhere.

‘Then, he could use that loot to earn dimensional currency and modify the 《Life Support Device of Galactic Emperor》 into the 《Brilliant Cradle of the Young Divine Emperor》.’

At that point, Kang Seo-jun’s [SS+] growth would be practically guaranteed.

‘Moreover.’

Kang Seo-jun didn’t even need to personally take down Omen. Given time, someone from the Taesan Group or the Kuyamoto Clan would eventually cut off Omen’s head for him.

‘All I need to do is wait for Omen to die. While waiting, my tasks are….’

Happy farming sessions like today, and simply getting a good night’s sleep.

Kang Seo-jun lay comfortably in the golden cradle, envisioning a brilliant future.
