I Became a Genius by Running Away From the Academy

46 – After the big commotion, time to clean up (3)

Crispy-!

“Mmm! Maybe it’s because it’s the chicken I got from my junior, so it tastes even better!”

Just listening to what he said, it sounded like he was happy to rob his junior’s wallet, but looking at his actions so far and his expression eating chicken, it didn’t seem like he meant that.

Perhaps, I’m just really glad that I have a junior and I’m eating from that junior.

“Eat a lot, senior.”

“Uh, can you say that one more time?”

“Senior.”

As proof of that, I nodded her head appropriately and said this one more time, and Tan-tan smiled brightly like a child who received a Christmas present.

“Mmm! That’s right! I am your senior!”

Saying that, Tantan nodded her head and then looked at me.

“Okay then junior! Have you had any difficulties while living in the circle these days? Because I’m a senior! As your senior, if there is anything I can help with, I want to help!”

I don’t know how many times the word “Senpai” Is included in just one word.

I looked at Tan-tan while avoiding the snort that gushes out of her face as I pushed her face closer.

Her tantan eyes were shining brightly as she stared at me, but behind her was her greed to take this opportunity to establish her own dignity as a senior.

“Ehh, okay, calm down first.”

Seeing him, Mehri let out a small sigh and swung her fist.

“Punch!”

Tantan, who was suddenly hit by a super-powerful blow to the top of his head, let out a strange scream and slammed her face into the table.

“Are you all right?”

“Yes, everything is fine.”

Fortunately, thanks to Erio’s quick action, the chicken was unharmed.

Gulp- Gulp-

Puha-

Mehri, the great senior who overpowered her bullet with a single punch, emptied her beer vigorously.

“Whew, but do you really need help or have any questions?”

She said with her slightly blushing face.

“Even if we look like this, both I and this guy are your seniors, so if you have any questions, I can tell you as much as I want.”

To be honest, I didn’t have any particular questions or concerns.

As for how the circle works, I’ve experienced it indirectly several times through videos.

“Hmm, I appreciate your words, but I’m a chick who hasn’t taken classes yet, so I don’t know what to ask the seniors.”

That’s why I had only one question to ask these two people.

“So, by the way, could you tell me a little bit about this case, if possible? I have few friends, so rumors are a bit slow, but I’m curious about what the circle will be like in the future.”

Now, what kind of ripples did the pebble I threw create on the lake?

Now it was my turn to check that out.

◎ ◎ ◎

“Hmm, for those of you who are just new freshmen, that part is probably the most bothersome.”

The current situation of Circle……

Me Meri muttered that in a small voice and she thought for a moment before opening her mouth.

“To be honest, it’s not very good. As evidence of that, right now people on the administration side are screaming because of the kids who are applying to drop out.”

On the first day of class, Darcy said.

Half of them will leave the circle on their own before the first semester is over.

But then, what she said was different now.

If what she meant was the fragments of gemstones being chipped away during the crafting process, the current situation was that several gemstones were broken by mistake.

‘It’s a pity for those who couldn’t stand it and left, but it’s not a very bad situation.’

Thinking of what will happen in the future, it was right for those who want to leave to leave quickly.

That’s how you can save your life in future incidents here.

When I was thinking like that.

“Well, it’s not that I don’t understand. It’s because I faced the demon’s attack head-on. Me and Tantan are here now, but I don’t know what choice we would have made if we were students in the combat department.”

Memeri glanced at me as she said that.

And Tan-tan, who was grunting while holding the top of his head, looked at me with anxious eyes.

I said with a smile at that.

“You don’t have to look like that. I have no intention of quitting.”

“Really?”

“Yes, really. If I had been thinking about dropping out in the first place, I wouldn’t have paid any attention to the situation in the circle.”

While saying that, I dipped the boneless chicken with a fork and put it in my mouth.

Erio, who saw that, opened his mouth small, so he put it in her mouth as well.

It’s hard to eat because the sleeves are long, so please feed it.

“Ummm, are you both okay? It’s not for us to say, but the Circle right now is honestly no different from the Storm Core.”

“Hmm, I’d be lying if I said I didn’t care, but…… “

Ehh-

“I have my own circumstances, so it’s hard for me to quit.”

It was a very important situation that depended on the fate of the world.

“Um…… “

“I see.”

The two of them nodded their heads with serious faces as if they understood what I was saying.

To be honest, it was the reaction I was expecting and aiming for.

Among the students in the circle, there were quite a few of them who had tragic circumstances and felt like vengeance.

“I’m not quitting either.”

At that time, Erio, who finished eating the chicken, spoke softly.

At Erio’s words, which sounded like a small cat meowing, the two of them changed their expressions and gave a small smile.

“Then I’m glad.”

“Yeah, honestly, I was really worried.”

The two of them gave a small smile of relief as if they were fortunate and told them again about the rumors that had been heard about this incident.

“First of all, it seems that he has no intention of making any major changes to the class right now.”

“That’s right, I don’t have any plans to add a separate test.”

“It’s surprising, I thought I could do something else with this incident as an opportunity.”

“Well, our school’s basic motto was practical warfare.”

“Ah, well, this school was like that.”

Yum yum-

“Ah, but the teachers will be mobilized a lot to deal with the demons. Classes may be reduced a little.”

“There are a lot of people who dropped out anyway, so won’t it decrease?”

“Hmm, is that so?”

As we continued our conversation, he said with an expression that he remembered Memeri.

“Ah, come to think of it, do you both know that the chairman of the circle has returned? It became a hot topic, so of course you want to know?”

“Yes, I know.”

That’s because I was the one who brought that human back to the circle.

“Whoops, but you wouldn’t know this?”

At that time, Tantan, who was next to me, smiled and said.

I knew a lot about this person, maybe because he was secretly flat-footed.

“From what I heard, the chairman seems to want to stay in the circle for a while.”

“That’s what happened, so it’s natural.”

“That’s not all, senior Memeri. It seemed that he was trying to participate not only in the eradication of villains, but also in the management of the circle.”

Tantan said, lowering her voice slightly.

“At first glance, it seems that you are planning to write something new for some students.”

“The chairman? It’s amazing, did something happen?”

Well, something happened.

A little too much.

I muttered to myself while eating the chicken radish.

‘Anyway, it’s a new program…… ‘

I was worried because it was an event that didn’t exist in the game.

‘Well, considering his personality, it’s not something I don’t understand.’

When she heard that she was a golden generation, she said that the queen would show her curiosity.

That person, first of all, if he is an educator, when he sees a talented or unusual person, he likes to give them a chance and raise them in his own way.

‘The problem is, though, that the classes are almost at the level of bullying because they are raised with a lot of rolling.’

In my mind, images of some of the players who had become Aris’ apprentices came to mind.

‘…… Well, after all, the word “Queen” Suits her better than a teacher.’

I shook off my bad thoughts for a while and ate chicken again.

Because I heard rumors about a special program, the chicken tasted better.

This alone seemed to have paid off the conversation with these two people today.

“Is this a program for kids with good grades?”

“Then Erio is likely to be among them.”

As they continued to exchange conversations, the two naturally learned about Erio’s true identity.

So both of them were surprised at first, but then they let it go.

“From the first time I saw it, I somehow thought it would be like that.”

“There is something mysterious about his appearance.”

Anyway, this look supremacy will not disappear even if the world changes.

As I was recalling the memory of that time, Tantan took Memery’s words and said.

“Right, Erio should be enough. Because you said you did a great job against Mine this time too.”

“Huh? Did you?”

My eyes widened at the first words I heard.

“Huh? I did not know?”

Tantan tilted her head and said.

“It was a hot topic, because the freshman was holding on to Mine, who was struggling even in the student council.”

“Right, let’s hear it, I heard that you will receive an award along with the other kids who showed great performance?”

“Awesome.”

When I said that, Erio, who was eating chicken, nodded with a satisfied face.

“So what? If you could be involved in the project, would you participate?”

Dori Dori-

“I am interested in becoming stronger, but I don’t want to enter without Eugene.”

“Really?”

Memery, who heard Erio’s words, looked at me with a smile.

“Yes, but how are you? Take no interest?”

“To be honest, none.”

“Really? I am surprised.”

Memeri looked at me curiously, and I added,

“Right now, I have a lot to do in the circle.”

The two of them nodded their heads in understanding.

“Well, it’s usually difficult just with the classes in the circle.”

“Because I always feel like my feet are on fire.”

I laughed lightly at the words of the two.

I didn’t mean that when I said it, but if you think about it that way, it’s good for me.
