chapter 53
53 – Eventful and enjoyable school life (1)
Dubuck-Dubuck-
“Professor, where are we going?”
“If you go, you will know right away, so keep quiet and follow me.”
Like kicking a pebble on the road, Darcy lightly brushed away my question and moved his foot.
While moving his feet mechanically, Darcy glanced at me and smiled for no reason.
“Oh, no. If you’re that bored, let’s have a little chat while we go.”
“Conversation?”
“Yes, if you are dissatisfied, you can think of it as a short class.”
I’m more dissatisfied with the class.
“As for the first question…… So, why do you think you can’t run?”
“…… Do you think it’s because you simply lack talent?”
Tsk-
I came up with the answer with certainty, but when Darcy heard me, he blatantly clicked his tongue.
“Isn’t it?”
“Absolutely not, anyway these days guys just make excuses while saying that they are talented or whatever. Well, you’re a special case among them, so I won’t say anything out loud, but I’m sure it’s not the right answer.”
Darcy said that and looked straight at me.
“It’s okay, don’t ignore the human body, thinking too much of it. If we couldn’t even walk because we didn’t have as much talent as you think, then humans would have gone extinct long ago.”
That was definitely true.
By the way……
“Is it okay, Professor, to use such slang?”
“I said I would use it, so why not?”
Darcy snorted back at my words.
Certainly, I had nothing to say if it came out so brazenly.
“Anyway, what I want to say is that it makes no sense to say that you can only walk and not run because you have no talent.”
“My body actually accomplishes that mystery.”
“That’s because you’re stupid. In short, you’ve been tricked.”
Darcy dismissed my words with such an assertion.
“You can only walk, you cannot run. In order to actually be able to do that, you have to have a disability in your body beyond lack of talent.”
Sug-
“But you, your body is normal.”
Nodded.
Certainly there was no problem with my body itself.
“Well then, think carefully before answering this time. Why do you think you can’t run?”
“…… I keep falling because of my sense of balance.”
“It’s much better than the answer that was just an excuse for talent.”
Darcy nodded slightly, as if his thoughts were valid.
“Looking at what you’re talking about, you seem to have noticed, but you’re not technically bad at running. As if his sense of balance is distorted, he is so clumsy at using his body that he falls as soon as he runs.”
I automatically nodded my head at Darcy’s logical analysis.
‘As expected, the circle professors are different no matter what they are?’
Listening to Darcy’s words, the hope that I could run began to well up.
“But.”
Then Darcy poked my chest with his finger and said,
“That’s half the answer. It’s not the perfect answer I thought.”
Wasn’t this?
As she looked at Darcy with those eyes, she said with a grin.
“The reason you can’t run is simply because you didn’t try!”
“…… Effort?”
I asked myself, feeling my head go blank at the theory of gut nature that suddenly popped out.
But suddenly, it dawned on me that these words weren’t completely unreasonable.
‘Come to think of it, I’ve almost given up on training my body since I got this body.’
Anyway, I could raise my stats through attributes, and I had never thought of trying to cover up my lack of talent with effort, probably because I found the reason I couldn’t play in the game system.
When you realize a fact you didn’t know so much and you’re in awe.
“Actually, that’s amazing.”
Darcy stared at me with those ferocious eyes, as if looking at her prey, she said.
“It’s not as good as you, but sometimes there are guys who use their bodies similar to you, but are shockingly incompetent. Those who are dragged around by the sword when they wield it and fall alone in the absence of anything.”
“Certainly there are people like that sometimes.”
“Isn’t it? Still, humans have something called the ability to learn, so if you continue to live with that body, you will have to somehow adapt to the twisted state of your bodily sensations and use your body.”
Knock-
“But why are you like this? It’s like being suddenly put into someone else’s body.”
…… Well, he’s a quick-witted person who doesn’t match his appearance.
“Well, ever since I was young, whenever I tried to run, I just kept falling over, so I just walked around. Maybe that’s why?”
“Is that so?”
It was a flimsy excuse, but it seemed that Darcy was going to do the same and was about to pass it off, perhaps because my talent was so out of standard(?).
Kiki-
After talking like that, the two of us finally arrived at our destination.
“This is…… “
“Well, that was a bit off the table, but that’s it in a nutshell.”
As I opened the door and looked around the room, Darcy continued.
“The reason you can’t run and keep falling is because your body isn’t used to the action of running. No, to put it to the extreme, you’re not used to the act of using your body violently.”
Ssiik-
“Then the solution is simple.”
As Darcy said, numerous holes appeared in the domed wall.
“You just have to do it a lot to get used to it.”
Clap-
And then, numerous batteries reminiscent of a bazooka popped out of the hole.
“This is…… “
Doujin, who instinctively sensed the ominousness after seeing him, unknowingly tried to hit his back step.
“Just roll over like a dog. Regardless of whether you get hurt, roll over, or fall, keep moving until you collapse from exhaustion.”
Kwaak-
But Darcy, who was smiling brightly, wouldn’t let him.
“Now, don’t worry. As a professor, I will definitely support you so that you can handle your body very well the way you want.”
By the way, there was a nameplate hanging next to the door that said the evasion ability training room.
◎ ◎ ◎
There is a saying that exercise is good for relieving stress, and that is true.
In fact, the students in class 3 confirmed that fact a little while ago through their own bodies.
But that is only when it comes to ‘exercise’.
Beep-!
The situation was different during training.
“Don’t be lazy and run with all your might. I asked you to use it to your heart’s content if you have magic or power, but what are you doing?”
Darcy just laughed when he said that.
“No, I didn’t speak well. If there is someone who wants to see a hell worse than this tomorrow, you can play around. It’s good to relax.”
Ooh oh oh–!!!
At Darcy’s words, all the students cheered up and raised the flame that had been extinguished.
However, the type of spirit was a little different.
“Never run away!!!”
“Kill! Kill and catch!”
After putting Yujin Do in the training room, Darcy came back and literally caught the students like rats.
It was to the point that Sunny Osment’s face stiffened as he was always wearing a self-loving smile and laughter.
And now, in the last class, Darcy divided the students into two teams.
“Now, since you all must be tired, let’s replace this lesson with a simple game. It’s not okay to work too hard in the morning and affect the class that follows.”
“So, Professor, are you taking a break this time?”
“Okay, this time we’re going to take a break and play hide and seek.”
Playing tag?
When the ominous look on the faces of the students, Darcy smiled and said.
“However, since it is a class activity, I have prepared a simple penalty.”
“Well, speaking of penalties…… “
In response to a student’s question, Darcy said lightly as if it were nothing.
“Those who are caught by the tagger and those who are not caught will train twice as much tomorrow.”
Ooh oh oh–!!!
That was why the students were playing hide and seek with all their might right now.
Actually, this would have been very dangerous.
Although they are students, everyone here is superhuman.
Anyone could get seriously injured in an accident if they were so fussy.
But now it’s fine.
“Oh, heo-eok…… Dildo, Huuk…… Manga!!!”
“Because of the training…… I’m running out of power…… “
“Bar, can’t bind…… “
“The sword, the power to throw the sword…… “
Thanks to Darcy’s squeezing all the students together, they were now nothing more than seaweed being blown away by the wind.
‘Still, I’m still a bit bubbly. I’ll have to squeeze more tomorrow.’
Darcy muttered something that would have frightened the other students if they heard it, then quietly lowered her gaze to the device.
– Wow!
In the device, Yujin Do was screaming and struggling to avoid the balls bouncing from all over the place.
It looked more like an animal’s quadrupedal gait than a human’s running, but there was no problem.
Anyway, it was clear that it was getting faster.
‘Still, I have my guts. I guess that’s why he was thinking of taking classes that way.’
During class, Darcy took a moment to look at Yujin Do’s records.
Thanks to her, she found out that Doujin had been taking all her class hours full while only taking one class in the past two weeks.
Normally, you would have been puzzled by Yujin Do’s behavior, but Darcy, who had already had a conversation with Yujin Do, saw Do Yujin’s behavior differently.
‘Perhaps this guy is trying to find a way to fix his situation. As proof of that, none of these classes overlap.’
Actually, Yujin Do was just doing a characterization to get a characteristic, but Darcy, who didn’t know him, couldn’t help but think like this.
“But it’s strange…… “
Darcy lowered her gaze slightly.
“This guy, why is the entrance exam record like this?”
Students who enter the circle are usually divided into two groups.
One is the type of people who entered after honestly taking the entrance exam and proving their skills.
The other was the type of person who was scouted by school-related figures such as teachers in recognition of their talent and entered without an entrance exam.
For reference, Yoojin Do came in as the former, not the latter, with normal grades without any peculiarities.
And that was the part that puzzled Darcy.
‘With this guy’s body, it’s impossible for him to get mediocre grades in the entrance exam.’
Hmm……
Darcy, who was lost in thought, muttered involuntarily while looking at Yujin Do on the other side of the device.
‘Does this guy have something?’
-Ah! What kind of a bastard shoots so many balls!
‘…… But he’s too weak to be seen as someone with something, a rabbit.’
Darcy thought for a moment and then nodded.
“Well, since he’s a guy who enjoys seeing him jumping and jumping around, let’s keep him by his side for a while and watch him.”
