I Became a Genius by Running Away From the Academy

31 – Now, scream until the flames of inferiority die out (2)

“As expected, the circle is not easy. To think that the chaos that occurred in so many places at the same time has already been put to rest.”

The night sky is bursting with firecrackers that look like colorful jewels full of someone’s extravagant tastes.

A woman with her golden hair curled up, lightly resting her chin on her chin, checked the status of the losers everywhere in the circle through her device and grumbled.

“The fact that the strength of the circle was higher than I expected, but the fact that those losers were lower than I expected is also great.”

Haa-

“It is said that my original skills were at the level of bugs, but I never thought that I could only do this much despite the modification…… “

She let out a small sigh as she turned the black umbrella that shielded her from the moonlight.

“You have to admit what you have to admit. It was foolish to think that they could damage the circle as losers who all they knew how to do was curse at the person above them from behind because they were jealous.”

The reason why she chose to play such insignificant losers as chess pieces was simply because they could easily infiltrate the circle.

These were the chess pieces she brought after seeing only one of them, but perhaps because she had worked so hard on the preparations, at some point she started to expect a little from them.

She muttered like that, like a noble lady appraising her slave, then smiled mischievously.

‘Well, that would be fine. The fact that even I had such high expectations for them means that those losers must have high expectations for themselves.’

She gathered them from all over the place just for this day.

Those who are on top, those who are pushed into the abyss by those with natural talent.

After gathering the losers together, she slowly brainwashed all of them using various drugs to remove unnecessary thoughts and emotions from them, and strengthened their bodies to the maximum using various methods.

Thanks to this, their bodies were remodeled so that they could burn their lives and generate great power without their knowledge.

In this way, they did not know that what they gained was the power obtained by burning their lives, and they had unfathomable confidence, and dreamed in vain that if they had become this strong, they would be able to overturn the circle.

Because of this, they now feel more despair, anger, and helplessness.

Ssiik-

Just as she wanted.

“Come on, everyone.”

Sug-

“Once you realize the reality, scream as hard as you can, until the flame of inferiority burns out and fades.”

So that as many people as possible can hear and gather your filthy and insignificant screams.

“Please faithfully fulfill your role as a sacrifice.”

She muttered that and looked down.

Through-

The firecrackers she set off changed their color to red before they knew it, scattering a reddish light that reminded them of crumbs of hardened blood all over the circle.

◎ ◎ ◎

After Han Si-yeon disappeared, Rias approached with a restraining artifact to perfectly subdue the fallen man.

“Huh?”

Rias, who was moving her steps like that, suddenly stopped her steps.

Rias’ eyes narrowed as she looked at the fallen man.

‘Is the flow of magical power you can feel changing?’

Just a moment ago, the man’s mana had cooled down like a bonfire.

But now, the flow of magical power emanating from the man’s whole body was fluctuating like a volcano about to explode.

‘Did he secretly dope by using a potion or something?’

When Rias is nervous about an unexpected anomaly.

Kadudeuk-

“Why…… “

The man who was lying on the floor murmured softly.

‘Vocal cords have completely recovered.’

Rias, confirming that her doubts had turned to certainty, raised her sword.

“Why the hell! Why are you only you! Why am i aaa!!!!!”

Perhaps he forgot Rias’ existence or went mad with rage, the man struggled like a child running around, coughing up blood and screaming.

Toouk-

As if he had passed out, he suddenly stopped all movement.

Creepy-!

‘Something inside that man is changing.’

Looking at him, Rias instinctively realized that this was the moment just before the larva had entered its cocoon, and swung the sword without hesitation.

All the flames that burned around her gathered into the sword.

Condensing all the gathered flames into the sword, Rias swung her sword.

The strongest blow possible for Rias now.

Just before it cuts the head of the fallen man.

“Why is it!!!”

The man who was lying on the floor screamed and bounced off the floor.

“Don’t miss it!”

Despite that bizarre movement, Rias didn’t panic and continued to swing her sword.

The moment of despair.

“aaa!!!”

The man swung his fist at the sword being swung.

It was clear which of the two would have the upper hand, a sword or a fist clad in flames.

Chwaaak-!

“Wow!!! My arms! Faaal!!!”

Rias’ sword slashed his arm right below his elbow.

“Chit.”

However, Rias’s expression was hardened and he did not know how to let go.

‘Originally, I should have cut the entire upper body, not the arms.’

The quick decision to give up his arm saved the man.

‘That feeling from a moment ago…… ‘

Rias corrected her posture as she recalled the reluctant sensation she felt through her sword.

“It hurts!!! Why!!! Hate it!!! It’s annoying!!!!!”

Meanwhile, the man continued to pump his fists and let his emotions out.

People watching the situation from a distance trembled in fear at the madness that seemed to not care about the loss of an arm.

That moment.

“Ah…… “

The man suddenly stopped moving.

Then, he grinned and muttered.

“I was born…… “

That moment.

Whoah-

Black magic, black magic, flowed like a waterfall from the man.

“Haa, that reluctant feeling was real.”

Rias clicked her tongue annoyed.

‘I was a normal human just a moment ago, but suddenly signed a contract with a devil and became a demon.’

Her head hurt as the situation kept changing in unexpected directions.

But whatever.

Clap-

As a knight of the Vermillion family and as the student council president of the Circle, what I had to do immediately was clear.

“Main is subject to summary execution.”

Fire-!

“So I won’t be putting my ejaculate in her hands anymore.”

Rias’ sword drew a red line in the air.

Then immediately, the flames flew along the red line towards the demons, increasing in size.

“Annoying!!!”

The demon who saw him roared and reached out her one remaining hand.

The same appearance as before.

Chae ah ah-

However, the results seemed quite different.

On the demon’s open palm, water tinged with turbid light spread out in the shape of a cannonball.

Chow ah–!!!

Shockwaves from the huge pillars of fire and water cannons shook her around.

“Oh, really!”

Rias was annoyed as she swung her sword away at the hot steam that filled the area.

Even so, she glared at the man fiercely with both eyes.

‘Is that a real demon?’

At first, she thought she was just a simple devil.

But once she bumped into it, strange things began to catch her eye.

‘Because I made a contract with the devil, my strength has increased and I have the ability to create water. Even so, that figure is strange.’

I’ve heard that when she becomes a demon, she is weakened by her desires and becomes impulsive.

Thumping bang-!

“aaa!!! Annoying!!!”

But I’ve never heard of a personality change that’s close to infantile regression.

Ugh-

‘Huh? Suddenly the device…… ‘

“Jealousy naaa!!!”

“Sheesh! I won’t give you a chance!”

Mine continued to stomp her feet down on the ground, and then she rushed at Rias in a rage.

At the ignorant charge that reminded her of her wild boar, Rias raised her sword vertically while grimacing her face.

‘For now, let’s prevent damage and endure as much as possible until the professors arrive.’

I was convinced through the collision a little while ago.

I am pushed back by that guy both in terms of compatibility and strength.

‘But since he’s a guy who moves simply, if you dig into that part well, it’s enough to hold on until the professor who saw the rescue signal comes…… ‘

For a moment, Rias’ mind flashed a little.

‘I can’t believe why the device kept beeping like that…… !’

Rias slightly widened her eyes at her belated realization.

The tip of the sword wielded slightly stopped at the sudden realization.

Ssiik-

At that moment, Mine smiled brightly as if she hadn’t been angry before, and she reached out to grab her sword.

‘Was this a target?!’

The reason why I ran like a wild boar and showed how I couldn’t control my emotions was all for this.

The moment Rias realized that.

Chwaaak-!

At first, a large amount of her blood spurted out of her left arm where Rias had cut her and tried to hack her like a hook.

At the same time, a large amount of water in the area where the stalls were gathered aimed at Rias like a spear.

“Keuuugh!”

Rias emitted intense flames from all over her body as the attacks rained down on her from all sides.

Just like before, it was to use the heat to evaporate the demon’s water to stop it.

“You got it!!!”

But that was exactly what he wanted.

Chwaaagh

The dark magic that exploded from the devil’s body created a sphere of muddy water and trapped Rias.

The black water turned into dozens of small saw blades and moved to grind the rias inside.

‘This bastard…… !’

Mine’s intentions were clear.

A head-on battle of power whether to evaporate or extinguish.

And if that happened, Rias would be at a disadvantage.

‘I was fooled by my appearance and behavior and caught my guard.’

Rias gritted his teeth while blaming himself.

‘I have to endure for now!’

If she’s right, it’s not just this man who’s become a demon this way, but other intruders as well.

In that case, it would be difficult to expect help from the professors, but I could have gotten help from people from other guilds who came after seeing the situation.

“Die! Die!!!”

“Who dies, who dies!”

The moment when Rias, who had made up his mind to do so, let out the flames all over his body in earnest.

Taang-

It was so faint that an auditory hallucination-like sound rang in Rias’ ears.

‘Huh?’

A single bullet protruded from Majin’s chest along with a stream of blood.

An unbelievable sight like a lie.

“I died…… ?”

Though he was slow to think.

Kwaak-

The action was quick.

“Huaaa!!!”

The moment her power balance collapsed, Rias drew her power and put it into her sword and swung it.

As a result, Mine died as her body was cut in half.

Heo Eok- Heo Eok-

“A little while ago it was…… “

As Rias gasped for breath, she blankly recalled the situation from a while ago.

Her bullet appeared without a sound, bursting her demonic heart and saved her.

“That attack can’t be…… “

And, unbeknownst to Rias, something similar was happening elsewhere as well.

Just before Darcy swung the sword, a single bullet pierced the demon’s heart first.

Thanks to Darcy, who safely saved the students of the student council, he was lost in thought.

“This type of attack…… “

Funny enough, the two people who saw the same scene came up with a different but the same person.

‘Ghost?’

‘A freshman?’
