I Became a Genius by Running Away From the Academy

45 – After the big commotion, time to clean up (2)

Ehh-

In the end, I was pushed out of the competition, so I hurriedly took a shower and came out.

And without even thinking about wiping off the water droplets dripping down my jawline, I hurriedly pulled out a suitable suit from the closet and put it on.

In the meantime, what about Erio?

Konggeumonggeum-

It tactfully climbed onto my shoulder and held on to my head like a baby bear holding a jar of honey.

Thanks to that, I didn’t even think about wearing the top I had to tuck my head in, and I was only wearing a hooded zip-up on top.

Aside from that, there are a lot of things that bother me, such as the possibility of a disc coming up in my neck, or the wet hair that keeps sticking to my face.

But I just said nothing.

Because I had just experienced that no matter what I did, there was no way he would fall.

‘Does it make sense to be pushed so thoroughly…… ‘

To be honest, I had a lot to say.

I was Erio’s opponent, covering my body with a shadow and supporting myself so I wouldn’t fall, but he pretended he didn’t know that and only attacked my shadow while emitting electricity.

In addition, Shadow and Lightning didn’t work well together, and the current combination of my talents was far from the best.

No, leaving all those things aside, I didn’t even do my best to remove Erio from the beginning.

Because I realized that I was hiding my identity from the middle of the day, and I just did my best to cover my body.

‘But still…… ‘

As I weighed the weight of Erio on my shoulder, I sighed inwardly.

‘How can I say it because I completely lost to a kid as small as him with my strength like this…… It’s kind of like that.’

As expected, I have no choice but to grow a little more at this academy.

Chwihing-

While thinking about that and making plans for the future, Erio coughed lightly.

“If you keep doing that, you will catch a cold.”

When I said that, Erio wrapped my head around me a little tighter.

It seems like he thinks I brought this up to tear myself away.

Well, I can’t say I didn’t have that intention in the slightest.

As expected, there was no sign of falling, so I let out a small sigh and stood up.

Kirik- Kirik-

Then I went back to the bathroom and turned on the hot water.

‘This will cool the body down and won’t catch a cold.’

Hey Erio, since he’s being stubborn on his own, he probably wouldn’t mind a cold or something like that, but it wasn’t okay for me to get caught up in it too.

If possible, I wanted to live a long, disease-free life without catching a cold.

Shoot ah-

Water from the shower fell on Erio and my head.

Thanks to that, the clothes I just put on gradually got wet, but it wasn’t a problem since I didn’t pay attention to that from the beginning.

“Is the water temperature okay?”

At my question, Erio gave a small nod of his head.

So I sat down on the floor right in the middle of the dripping water.

‘Anyway, being bathed in dripping water with your clothes on is something refreshing.’

After coming to this world, I have been able to do things that I never thought to do in the previous world.

But it wasn’t a bad feeling.

On the contrary, I was a bit surprised that I felt better than I thought.

‘Wouldn’t it be like this if I went to the valley and played in clothes?’

While thinking that, I took out the device.

One of the things I liked the most about coming to this world was the fact that the device was completely waterproof.

Thanks to this, I was able to see what I wanted through the device while taking a shower.

‘Do you want to see something more?’

When I was browsing the site like that.

“…… What were you doing?”

Little by little, Erio looked at me and asked, as he relaxed his arm holding my head.

What do you mean what were you doing anyway?

Ah, are you saying that you came here only now because you were doing something last night?

So I thought for a while and then said.

“I’m weak, and it hurts if I get hurt, so I hid in a suitable place.”

“How can I contact you? Why didn’t you get it?”

“I was half-fainted as a side effect of using too many abilities.”

There are some parts that were slightly hidden and adapted, but overall, it was not a big mistake.

Therefore, there was nothing awkward about what I said, but perhaps Erio didn’t like my answer, so he started pressing the top of my head with the power of his jaw.

This was very painful.

“Anyway, after fainting in the woods, I came back to my senses a while ago. I was lucky. I don’t know who it is, but maybe it’s thanks to the many people who dealt with the demons, but fortunately there was no attack by the demons.”

“…… Good luck then.”

Erio said that at my words and slightly relaxed his chin.

Well, I’m a little more comfortable now.

I was satisfied with that and quickly flicked his fingers across the screen.

And I played a Dozeny-style cartoon movie that looked moderately funny between the videos of baking and confectionery that I usually watch at large stores.

“Have you calmed down?”

“…… Yet.”

“Then tell me when everything calms down and you can get away from me a bit.”

Shoot ah-

“Let’s go eat at least in moderation.”

So I quietly looked at the video, feeling the power that wrapped around my head slowly wear off.

◎ ◎ ◎

Fortunately, Erio calmed down and fell off my neck by the time we went to eat lunch.

After solving one problem like that, another problem arose.

It wasn’t a big deal.

Doo-wook- Doo-wook-

It’s just that we’ve both become wet mice and can’t even go outside.

Well, it was me who could solve it by wiping off the water with a towel and putting on new clothes.

The problem was Erio, but this one was also surprisingly easily solved.

“Are you really okay?”

“Yeah, it’s okay.”

I decided to just take out my clothes and put them on.

There was no other alternative, and he himself seemed to have nothing to do with it, so I just didn’t care.

“Then I’ll change in the room over there, so you can change into whatever you want.”

At first, I thought I would just pick out the clothes and bring them to them, but I just took them to the closet.

I had things to do, and I thought it would be more comfortable to choose by myself rather than me.

Took-

‘I’m done with this.’

I entered the room like that, made a brief contact with the two people who sent me text bombs like Erio, and left the room dry.

When I came out like that, I saw Erio wearing my hoodie, but because of the basic body differences, it looked like she was wearing a dress.

“Is it okay if the clothes are big? I can’t even see my hands.”

“Yes, no problem.”

After saying that, Erio grabbed me with his hand and hung on my back as if he wanted to show it to me.

Well, since he said it was okay and actually showed it, I nodded.

Then he went outside.

Since there was a terrorist attack last night, if you look carefully, there are remnants of broken buildings all over the city.

However, the circle was operating normally as usual.

The reason was simple, but it was the influence of the surprise test that the circle usually did.

“This time, it broke a little grander. What happened to the teachers and classmates?”

“Flock! This time it wasn’t training, it was a real situation!”

“Oh, that’s right, right? Originally, if you want to be quiet, you can tell that this is a neighborhood where people explode all over the place.”

‘…… Actually, is that test really effective?’

I suddenly thought of that when I heard the men who run the store talking.

I wondered if this made sense, but it didn’t seem like anything that made sense either.

Actually, Korea was similar to this.

‘It’s a town where even when news about North Korea’s missile provocation comes out on the news, they just say they’re f*cking sh*t and go over with apathy.’

In fact, foreigners who have lived in Korea for a while find it strange and surprising.

Because a provocation by a nation against a nation wasn’t something that could be easily overlooked originally.

“Are humans creatures of adaptation?”

“Huh? What do you mean all of a sudden?”

“Just talking to myself.”

While exchanging similar conversations with Erio, we headed towards the restaurant.

In the meantime, I saw two familiar people walking from a distance.

“Huh? There are seniors from the cosplay club over there.”

It was a little hard to say because he was the one who neglected work, but it was fortunate to see him walking around in a normal state.

I said it so lightly and without thinking.

Shuuk-

Erio’s reaction was a bit strange.

I usually put my arms around my shoulders so that my hair is close to my head, but now it suddenly hid behind me.

“What, what’s wrong all of a sudden?”

“That…… “

Erio hesitated to speak before speaking.

“Actually, I broke the camera while fighting Mine.”

“Camera? Oh, come to think of it, I borrowed that camera from the club yesterday.”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

Erio nodded his head sullenly.

Hmm, it’s true that it’s wrong, but I don’t think it’s something to be so sullen about.

“Then, since we met, let’s go apologize now.”

“Together?”

“Yeah, I also made a mess of the clothes I borrowed in various ways.”

“…… Okay.”

At my words, Erio nodded and came down below me.

When I finished preparing like that, the two people who were far away were approaching right in front of me before I knew it.

“Seniors.”

“Oops! It’s a surprise!”

I was hiding my presence, but it suddenly showed up, so Tantan was startled by my voice and reacted violently.

“Huh? What happened…… Ah, both! Thank god! You’re all right!”

At Tantan’s cry, which was close to screaming, Memery turned her head and smiled broadly at the faces of me and Erio.

“Thank God. I wanted to make a call to say hello, but both of them didn’t know the contact number, so they were just stomping their feet.”

“Yes, we were also thinking about whether we should go to the club room today, but we ended up seeing it like this.”

To be honest, I didn’t really have any intention of going, but I was able to do as much lip service as I could.

“Fortunately, both of you are safe.”

“Me and Tantan are in the 3rd and 2nd year of the circle. Even if demons suddenly attack, we can do something to protect ourselves.”

“Ahem! You didn’t go to this school until now as a form?”

I didn’t think it was particularly great because he was talking with an exaggerated gesture, but I decided to give him a round of applause as a courtesy.

Fortunately, it must have been the correct answer, and not only Mehri, but also Tantan, who was standing next to her, had a proud expression.

‘Hmm, the atmosphere is nice.’

I took advantage of that gap and naturally revealed that Erio and I had damaged the camera and cosplay clothes.

“I’m sorry I borrowed it.”

“Sorry.”

“Ah, never mind, this case was force majeure.”

At Me and Erio’s apology, Me Meri waved her hand.

“No, but I will reimburse you.”

“Ah, that’s okay! After all, those clothes were also worn around the club room, and my camera wasn’t that expensive either.”

Memery said, patting my shoulder with her hand.

“Well then, I’ll buy you a meal later. Oh, if you have time, would you like to just go eat now?”

I thought there would be no other opportunity to gather like this in the future, so I naturally brought it up.

I just happened to have something curious about these two.

“Huh? Now?”

Memeri glanced at Erio and said.

“Umm, I guess that’s…… “

So Memery tried to open her mouth with her vague laugh.

“Oh, really? Is it okay to be expensive?”

But it was quicker for Me Meri to open her mouth and intervene with the excited Tan-tan.

“As long as it’s not too expensive, it doesn’t really matter.”

“Well, then it’s always good for me!”

Looking at Tantan, I nodded.

‘I just wondered what the circle situation is like right now, and that’s great.’

That’s how I got an informant, and I slightly averted my eyes.

“By the way, aren’t you going to eat Memeri-senpai?”

“Ehh, no. Given the situation, I might as well go.”

What do you mean?

I don’t know for sure, but I decided to be satisfied with the fact that the number of informants increased.

“By the way, what would you like for the menu?”

“Of course it is meat!”

In this way, the four of us walked towards the restaurant.
