I Became a Genius by Running Away From the Academy

chapter 37



37 – Inside the theater after the play (3)

No matter how weak he is, I think it’s too complacent to just restrain an enemy and leave him alone.

The thoughts I had while looking at the black dog in the past were still lingering in my head, showing off my presence.

In this way, I am not a person who is full of confidence to the extent that I can be released just because the other person shows weakness.

You could say it’s more like a minus than a plus, more like a negative than a positive.

That’s why even when he gained a new power and gained an advantage over Monica, he was just busy taking down that power.

Because I think being careless is a luxury in a life-and-death fight.

Well, in the end I personally approached him and stabbed him with a dagger…… Let’s just skip that part.

It was absolutely necessary to evolve the dagger’s talent to the next level.

Well, that’s a bit long, but to sum it up, that’s it.

Pounding- Pounding-

Now, ahead of the fight with Siyeon Han, I got a little excited without realizing it.

That’s also true, because I chose to hide and move in order not to get caught up in the commotion of the main character’s party and to stab the backs of the enemies that will appear in the future more efficiently.

It was very rare to have the opportunity to unload the burden on my shoulders and experiment with my strength.

‘Anyway, it must have been designed in such a way that people would want to use it once they gain power.’

I wanted to test the things I had acquired a little while ago as my heart desires.

Percussion-

At that time, she quietly looked at me standing on the stage, then she came up to my stage.

As she lightly stances, a pure white blade covers her two swords.

Han Si-yeon nodded her head at me while standing alone on a black stage, dressed in white.

Since it suited my rhythm, it meant that you should now match it to your own rhythm.

Clap-

As if waiting for her response, I raised her gun and aimed it at her.

Han Si-yeon’s posture slightly lowered.

Do not ignore me.

But don’t be afraid of me.

In her eyes as she said that, the will to cut through the bullets was burning like a flame.

Well, I wanted the main character to grow, so it didn’t matter if I let him do that.

But, as expected, I wanted a little more that it wouldn’t happen as a personal wish.

Because it was the first place to show off the skills acquired as one’s talent evolved one step further.

Tadadadadang–!!!

I pulled the trigger one after another with such small hopes.

In time with the sound of her cleats pulling, her countless bullets rained down on her.

Down-!

Faced with that scene, Siyeon Han spurred her land and ran towards me as if she had waited.

Drowning herself in the rain of her bullets, she activated the crest of her ship to the fullest.

With her senses stretched to the limit, Han Shi-yeon moved her body, her eyes flashing.

Sug-

She ignores anything that is not directed at her.

Seoguk-

And avoid those directed at you or cut them with the thread of the shadow.

‘Simple.’

At least, that was the case for himself after activating the ship’s crest.

Han Si-yeon muttered to herself and tried to stretch out one more step to reach Do Yu-jin.

But at that moment.

Kaang-!

She hurriedly took a step back with her foot, which she was about to stretch out, and swung her sword to slash the bullets into her own chest.

She managed to dodge the rain of bullets, but in the end she couldn’t penetrate.

Han Si-yeon was annoyed at the fact and asked.

“What are those things from before?”

Toouk-

Han Si-yeon touched the fragment of her bullet with her foot, which she cut off at the last moment.

“It’s more powerful than the others. It’s not my area of expertise, so even if I get over it, why did the bullet suddenly bend toward my torso?”

The pieces of the bullet that rolled around had the exact same shape as the pieces of other bullets.

Actually, this phenomenon itself was not that strange.

Because it was a world overflowing with people who calmly use magic.

However, there is only one reason why Siyeon Han is reacting this way.

‘I didn’t have that attack magic.’

It was because the attack earlier was not a magical attack.

‘How?’

Han Si-yeon looked at Do Yoo-jin with such a question.

Do Yoo-jin thought about it for a while before saying.

“Well, with a skill born of talent.”

“What, are you being sarcastic?”

“No, I am answering seriously in my own way.”

Han Si-yeon clicked her tongue and I smiled at him.

Talent grows.

I don’t know if that’s actually true, but at least the [Talent] Of [Circle Academy] Is like that.

And the moment [Talent] That continued to grow eventually achieves one step of evolution, it produces a fruit called [Skill].

[Lock-On]

▶Effect – Makes the attack move toward the set target.

[Bite]

▶Effect – Increases the penetration of attacks by one level.

[Amplify Attributes]

▶Effect – Makes the properties of the material stronger.

‘In this way.’

At first glance, it looks like a lower compatibility of the attribute, but the meaning of the skill is great.

In this game based on the basic premise of crazy play such as changing characteristics or changing artifacts, skills were one’s complete strength, like stats.

This is why I used to say that talent is important.

‘By the way, thanks to my two weapon talents, I have two skills.’

I ignored the last [Attribute amplification].

That’s because alchemy was a skill he developed while growing up.

‘Okay then, once again.’

Through this attack, I got a rough idea of how to use the skill.

‘Even if it was a threat, it was a mistake to only target the torso. This time, they aim for different parts and then the direction of the muzzle makes it impossible to read the position.’

Charah-

A shadow fell in front of me as I raised the muzzle once again.

“Sheesh!”

Seeing him, Han Shi-yeon clicked her tongue and ran towards me once more.

Tadadadadadadang–!!!

Once again, countless bullets are fired at Si-yeon Han.

But this time, there were two things different from before.

The first is that all of her bullets are aiming at her from her own direction and she is knocking her head off. And the second is.

Kaga gaga river -!

It was simply that there were so many of them.

“It is useless to fire!”

Han Si-yeon shouted and swung her sword continuously, cutting off the bullets fired at her one after another.

That moment.

Shuaaah-!

The bullets that crawled under her feet, in the dark shadows, bounced like a school of flying fish.

Using her shadow as a barrel, he had sneaked up to where she was.

After demonstrating her ability as a howitzer, a surprise attack that stabbed a blind spot in her heart.

“I was reading!”

However, Han Shi-yeon laughed and leaped into the air to dodge the bullets flying above her.

Hoseon’s sentence raises the senses sensitively.

So Han Si-yeon could clearly feel the bullets piercing through the shadows.

‘How is it?’

Siyeon Han grinned at the thought that she had beaten Yujin Do’s move.

“Be alert.”

At that moment, Do Yoo-jin’s indifferent words pierced her ears without the slightest agitation.

There’s more.

A chilly goosebumps formed on Siyeon Han’s spine as she sensed it.

That was the moment.

Seoguk-

Her keen senses screamed that something was cutting her hair.

On what?

The answer was immediately apparent.

‘Shadow thread!’

Belatedly, Han Si-yeon’s eyes saw a thread of shadow that went up along with the bullet soaring upward.

It was only then that I realized.

That Dou-jin not only used her shadow as a bullet to accelerate her bullets, but also as a shield to hide her own tricks.

The moment I reached that point.

Wheek-

The bullets that hit her target, which is her, begin to bend in earnest.

Shhh-

The threads of her shadow, hanging from the ends of her bullets, swung towards her.

The place is still in the air.

It is impossible to avoid.

Han Si-yeon bit her lip and swung her sword with all her might.

Catch up!

However, the thread of her shadow held out unlike before.

It is natural.

A thread made by focusing on manipulating shadows, and a thread made by focusing solely on production.

There was no way they both had the same longitude.

“Ahhh!”

Of course, even so, it wasn’t enough to block her sword.

But it was enough to take the time off.

Because those weren’t the only bullets she aimed at.

Han Shi-yeon, who had cut all the threads of shadow around her, gnashed her teeth to avoid the bullets fired in front of her, while cutting the threads of shadow that swung around her.

The way he calmly copes with a crisis and finds the best answer was great, but that’s all.

Koo-wook-

She has already been caught in the spider’s web.

“Keuugh!”

Eventually, after a little more time, Han Shi-yeon fell to her floor, tied to the thread of shadow like a butterfly caught in a spider’s web.

‘I…… Lost?’

Han Shi-yeon muttered in her daze.

It wasn’t the first time I lost a fight.

She didn’t even need to find a superior, she only sparred with Han Siu, she lost several times herself.

But this was the first time she had been completely defeated in this way by anyone else her age.

That’s when she was shocked.

“Now, he is dead.”

Do Yoo-jin, who had come closer to her at some point, declared while stepping lightly on her belly.

“You…… “

“Why? In the end, even the thread of the shadow lost its sharpness, so it shouldn’t hurt, right?”

“That’s not it, what are these feet!”

Shiyeon Han screamed as she wriggled her body.

Then I said, holding her tighter with her shadow.

“Well, it’s a procedure to ensure your defeat.”

As I said that, as punishment, I stepped on her belly with a little force.

“Heuk!”

Then she blushed, biting her lips, not in pain, but in shame and anger.

I could see life lingering in Siyeon Han’s eyes as she looked at me.

‘Um, was it too much?’

To be honest, I didn’t intend to do it this far.

But when I checked her progress in the fight a moment ago, my thoughts changed.

‘It was more than I thought.’

Just two weeks after her entrance ceremony, if it were the original game, she wouldn’t have grown much compared to the entrance ceremony by now.

But now, the girl in front of me has grown more splendidly than at her entrance ceremony.

It wasn’t hard to guess why.

Padudeuk-

“You…… I will never kill…… “

Vengeance toward me.

I grew up to this point using that as fuel.

“Hmm, losers these days have long tongues. Will you be quiet if I do this?”

Koo-wook- Back-

“Hey! Won’t you stop doing this?! They really kill you?!”

“Have you tried it?”

Koo-wook- Back-

“Ah, this bastard is real!!!”

Knowing that, unlike her previous partner, I decided to shame her by stepping on her on her own volition and not through her mistakes.

“Hey! Why are you taking out your device now!”

“Uh huh, laugh. That way it will look pretty.”

“Sigh! You crazy bastard!!!”

To the end, to save the world.
