Villain Is on Vacation

Chapter 68 Ants Colony (1)

?

As Rain drifted off to sleep, the chaos he had caused at the fan club continued to ripple throughout the Academy.

Confusion and frustration plagued the club members as they tried to access their website, only to find themselves locked out.

Soon number of members in club started decreasing. Whenever they opened website, the virus started working.

Rain did a praiseworthy work. 

Despite filing complaints, they were unable to resolve the issue on their own. Eventually, an administrator intervened, promising to help them resolve the problem.

With a masterful touch, the administrator was able to shut down the old website and create a new, more secure one for the club.

However, the incident did not go unnoticed by others at the Academy, and rumors began to spread that someone had deliberately sabotaged the website.

As word of this spread, Rain's actions became the talk of the town, and he quickly became the club's number one enemy.

Meanwhile, Rain continued to sleep soundly, blissfully unaware of the chaos he had caused.

Even if he were aware, it was unlikely he would care. He had accomplished his mission.

 ***

The academy was bustling with activity, as students went about their daily routines of attending classes, participating in extracurricular activities, and socializing with their peers.

However, there was a sense that something was off.

Despite the lively atmosphere, the main heroines of the story, Emma and Kaya, seemed to be less influential than before.

They were not as involved in the protagonist's life as much as they were in the game, and even though the MC was surrounded by other interesting characters, the heroines still showed little interest in him.

On the island,

Rain was checking his status window.

After a few days had passed finally stats rose, Rain noticed some significant improvements in his physical training.

This made him think that monitoring his body weight could be helpful in achieving his fitness goals. Thus, he decided that he needed to purchase new weights to continue his training.

Meanwhile, he also noticed that his mana levels had improved, as he had been diligently following the Academy's lectures on the subject. As a result, his mana control proficiency had increased, and he was now able to practice more advanced techniques.

Rain's dedication and hard work were paying off, as he saw significant improvements in his skills, which he was using frequently.

He had been practicing both of his Grade A sword styles diligently, and was satisfied with his progress.

While he knew where to acquire a Grade S style, he acknowledged that he still needed to improve his overall strength before attempting to learn it. He would die if he tried to bite more than he can chew.

In addition to his sword skills, Rain's marksmanship proficiency had also improved to an intermediate level, thanks to his practice and study of gun techniques and technology. While he knew where to find more advanced training, it would require significant effort to obtain.

His dedication to mana control had also resulted in an intermediate proficiency, allowing him to perform more advanced techniques.

During his exploration of the island, he had utilized his shadow walk ability frequently, which had also improved.

Furthermore, his appraisal skill had improved as he discovered and examined various herbs and materials.

Rain's proficiency in other skills such as alchemy, climbing, and hawkeye were also expected to improve with time and practice.

Rain felt that he has to get some combat experience to raise his rank and he had one good place in his mind for it.

Soon, Rain prepared everything for hunting and started walking towards forest. 

?????????????????

Few days ago, as Rain continued his exploration of the island, he stumbled upon an ant colony, which he realized was a prime hunting spot.

At that time he thought he will return there after making his preparations.

However, this was no ordinary colony. The insects here had undergone mutations and had become monsters, ranging in grades from F to D.

There was even a possibility of encountering a C-class mutated monster, making it a treacherous location to navigate.

The colony was complex, consisting of different types of ants with specific roles, such as slave ants, working ants, ant guards, and the queen ant.

?????????????????

Soon Rain arrived near Ant Colony. He hid behind the boulder.

Despite the risks, Rain decided to venture into the ant colony. Before doing so, he drank a Growth Elixir that he had discovered as a hidden treasure.

He saw some lower-grade ants near the entrance of the Ant colony. 

He took out Thunder Eagle from his space ring. 

With his Thunder Eagle gun in hand, he began shooting at the lower-grade ants.

As Rain learned his lesson in passed at Silver mine while fighting silver golem. 

Rain infused mana into his bullet, which enhanced its piercing power, enabling it to easily penetrate through the skulls of the ants. However, the nearby ant guards quickly took notice of this abnormality and started to gather around the area. Realizing that he was now faced with close combat, Rain had to rely on his combat skills to defeat them.

He took out something from his space ring.

?????????????????
