NOVEL NEXT WORLD Chapter 1059
<1059 – The Totally Pathetic Mode (17)>
Professor Weird made Hexen cause a commotion that would get him disciplined, temporarily freeing him from the fear of Professor’s wrath.
The prescription from Senior Grim Reaper actually seemed like it could cure Oknodie’s ailments.
But really, what was the reason for faking illnesses in the first place?
It all stemmed from wanting to take one up on Professor Weird while being terrified of the consequences.
If I could dodge those consequences by getting the professor disciplined and quarantined, there would be no reason for me to pass that up.
“Hexen? I feel like I’ve heard that name before.”
“Really? Before they reach fourth year, players are in a mandatory leave status, so it’s not easy to encounter, right? Where did you see them?”
“In the Depth of Chaos.”
“Gasp. That’s the Principal’s Playground! What were you doing there?”
“The Principal was stripping off his old skin and using the leftover energy to make a +21 Enhanced Dragon Armor.”
As expected of a character you could stack against the endgame content, that was some seriously veteran-level behavior.
Oknodie pouted in envy, achieving the feat of crafting with the Principal’s scales, something even he hadn’t done in this playthrough.
“Things turned out better than expected. You should really get a good scare!”
“Don’t you dislike the Principal? Your parents…”
“Seonhwang Papa and Chairman of the Foundation.”
Neither of them liked Dragon Principal.
The Grim Reaper’s question was valid.
“That’s that, but this is this!”
Jealousy took precedence over inherited tasks!
Unaware that the mini hydra tucked into his coat pocket was giving him a strange glance, Oknodie urged Hexen to get into trouble.
The Grim Reaper pulled out a secret potion he thought he’d never need again after graduation.
“Take this.”
“What is it?”
“It’s the Shinigami Transformation Elixir extracted from the blood of a Shinigami. If you inject this into a Lecture Monster, it will simultaneously trigger the transformation effect with a Potion of Madness and wreak havoc on the lecture!”
“Got it!”
“Don’t inject more than 5ml at once. If it becomes too powerful, it might not just leave a student half-dead, it could actually kill them.”
That’s some real Dark Princess behavior, right there?
Jiang wondered if he should intervene.
Even if Oknodie could be misunderstood as an evil child, his intentions were anything but good; this was outright malicious behavior!
“What exactly is this ‘top-up’ supposed to be that makes you want to get Hexen into such trouble?”
“Top-up is a wicked act of robbing people of their money.”
“You’ve done a lot of thievery too, Oknodie.”
“That kind of thievery is different; it’s for the benefit of the world! Top-up is just plain evil thievery that takes just for the sake of taking!”
“Hmmm… So it’s not very ‘rogue-y’ thievery?”
Given that Oknodie had Professor Bronze, a rogue, as one of his mentors, it wasn’t hard to understand why he wouldn’t get angry at that kind of theft.
Jiang, having barely assessed Oknodie’s morality as safe, nodded.
“If that’s the case, I won’t stop you.”
“Thanks!”
“But wait, you mentioned Hexen is on leave. How is Professor Weird going to deal damage to them? Plus, being an upperclassman, it’s not that easy to get punished for anything trivial.”
Jiang’s point was extremely logical.
If they wanted to use Hexen, a lot of steps were needed.
Hexen was in the Depth of Chaos.
The Depth of Chaos was in the Principal’s Playground.
To get to the Principal’s Playground, they would first have to escape from Professor Weird’s Research Dimension.
They needed to inflict wounds on Hexen that wouldn’t kill, but would probably leave them on the brink of death.
And it had to be done by one of the minions related to Professor Weird.
While administering a fixed dose of the Shinigami Transformation Elixir.
While also controlling the timing for the dosage to activate!
“Is that even possible?”
“It’s tough, but I think it could work!”
Everyone was shocked at Oknodie’s response.
“How does that make sense?”
“Right? Oknodie, you had all your paper airplanes taken away!”
“Hehe. I always have a plan!”
“A plan? What kind of plan? Don’t tell me you’re talking about those wrecked Golems from the last battle!”
“Not Golems!”
The paper folding series. The Golem series.
Oknodie had another weapon aside from those.
“Heheh. There’s no better optimized weapon for transporting blood than this.”
Oknodie slyly pulled out the Mecha Transparent Silent Superconducting Giant Mosquito he had just acquired.
“This is my <Hide> function-storing mosquito!”
“Your… hide function?”
“I saved it up like a savings plan for magical tools. It’s a unique Giant Mosquito among mosquitoes!”
Otherwise known as the <Mecha Transparent Silent Superconducting Giant Mosquito>.
Just the existence of this mosquito alone radiated an aura of infinite evil, making Jiang scream out in terror.
“Why in the world did you make that monstrous thing?!”
“Why not? There’s no creature more ubiquitous and annoying than a mosquito!”
“And what are you going to do if it breeds uncontrollably and multiplies?”
“I edited its species value to remove its breeding function, so it’s all good!”
Oknodie could do the same species value editing that Darknodi had been practicing.
Unlike Darknodi, who spread it over his own body, Oknodie had only dabbled with other beings, but still.
In any case, the unique mosquito had been crafted with the experience points gained from upgrading the look-class biological golem, a human aircraft, Rosinante, to be a carriage for the city of Taboo.
“Even if you pull off some miracle where you can control it to inject at the right time, what exactly are you going to inject it with? The minions of Professor Weird don’t have a reason to wander all the way to the Principal’s Playground.”
“It’s the opposite!”
“The opposite?”
“Make Hexen go to where Professor Weird’s minions are!”
“How on earth?”
“By exposing them to a contagious disease that’s sure to make them feel like they’re going to die unless they get help from Professor Weird?”
This is Oknodie, the minion of Jibsa Jang Okashii-ne.
The more I answered, the more bewildering the operation became!
“Just wait and see!”
With Jiang completely confused by the rapid developments, Oknodie pulled out a hand mirror.
“Mirror, mirror, I’ll give you 1000 gold coins. Show me the Mecha Transparent Silent Superconducting Giant Mosquito!”
[The secret hand mirror will activate for 1000 seconds.]
A magical tool that can surely locate the desired target.
Jiang diligently peered into the hand mirror alongside Oknodie.
Whaaaa!
Even without sound, the horrifying shape of the Mecha Transparent Silent Superconducting Giant Mosquito felt like its wings were buzzing.
The mosquito flew past the fourth-year restricted area and infiltrated the Principal’s personal territory.
“We have a space like this in our Academy?”
“How do you know this better than me? I’m the instructor here!”
“Ahem. That’s me!”
“As expected of the Foundation.”
“The Foundation’s intel is quite frightening.”
“Not the Foundation! This is my intel!”
Oknodie, unable to accept credit for his own information and blaming it all on the Foundation for all the bad things, was self-righteous!
Regardless of his petty grievances, everyone was left dumbfounded by the secrets and entrance procedures that usually went unnoticed.
The complicated processes were so smoothly navigated that even the mini hydra stared wide-eyed, as if to ask, “Is this really a path?!”
“Hey there, kid, what do you know to look along with me? Eat this instead!”
“Meh.”
Out of nowhere, Oknodie started feeding the mini hydra with a special cultivation fluid in a small beaker.
Though the mini hydra shot him a reluctant glance as if questioning if it really knew his identity, Oknodie was lost in the ecstasy of mosquito control.
“What’s all that aura?”
“It’s the Local Mana Disaster created by the collision of mana leaking from one of the ‘gaps’ in the Dimension Integrated Command Center, which is woven together from one hundred dimensions!”
“Wow. In the seniors’ area, the depths of Mana Disaster are notoriously deadly and treated like 공동 무덤 (shared grave)? And you mean such a disaster is happening in real-time and colliding?”
“With a senior like Hexen, it has to be at that level.”
“Where does such a senior even come from? This is just unbelievable.”
Jiang had every reason to sulk.
Whenever he tried to strength his resolve and get stronger, new strong players popped up out of nowhere, leaving him feeling deflated.
It’s a pity, but what can you do?
Just have to cheer him up.
While Oknodie was busy quietly pocketing the rare venomous insect he had tucked away for himself, Jiang shut his mouth, nevertheless grateful for the little gift Oknodie had given him.
“This is remarkable. Even for me, who usually knows more than I don’t in the academy, I’ve never seen anything like this.”
As Sadi Chocolate watched the mosquito performing acrobatics sneaking through the gaps of the Mana Disaster, his competitive spirit flared up.
The artificial collision of Mana Disaster.
A chaos that opened up for a fleeting moment, following the Principal’s incantations.
Seeing the mosquito just sitting there fluttering around was a struggle to unify the pivoting of such hard-to-access gaps.
Although the effort was minor, the butterfly effect had caused a chain reaction in the mana, resulting in the opening of a gap.
For those who had no idea, it simply looked like something opened up.
But for those who were aware, it sent chills down their spine.
Sadi Chocolate felt that way.
“If I could trigger a Mana Disaster remotely from anywhere, wouldn’t I be able to cause a catastrophe at any time and anywhere that could lead to the deaths of hundreds of thousands?”
Only now did he understand the potential of the unlikely Dark King.
Sadi felt fear.
If this was just a fake illness scheme that played out like this, he didn’t even want to imagine what would happen if they genuinely set out to do something serious.
