I Became a Genius by Running Away From the Academy

chapter 55



55 – Eventful and enjoyable school life (3)

“By the way, Professor!”

“Yes, why are you calling me?”

“You said that the magician’s talent is important in summoning. If so, is there a way to know that talent?”

“Yes, fortunately you have one way. It’s even pretty simple.”

At Duren’s words, the students slightly widened their eyes.

The curiosity in her heart responded to her sweet words that she could confirm her own talent.

Looking at him, Duren pointed his finger at the summoning circle installed on top of the podium.

“Just like what I have prepared, you can use a summoning circle without any specificity and not biased towards either side.”

At Duren’s words, several students nodded their heads up and down with understanding faces.

“It goes without saying, but human talent is not something that can be accurately measured with numbers. So, we, the summoning team, devised a way to find out talent indirectly like this.”

“I see.”

“Certainly, with that, you can see the summoned beasts and know the direction of your talent.”

Duren laughed as he listened to the mutterings of the students.

“Even if you have already signed a contract, you can come down and use the summon circle if you want. The quantity is sufficient, and it is not common to have a chance to use a summoning circle that is not biased to either side.”

The students, who had been quietly watching Duren’s words, tried to get up from their seats.

“hahahaha, you don’t have to come down all at once. I will call them one by one, so please come down when your name is called.”

After Duren said that, he called out the names of the students on the list one by one.

Students who advanced like that infused magical power into the summoning circle, and one after another called summoning beasts that matched their talents.

“Hmm, it’s a horned rabbit. It is one of the most common summons in summoning for beginners. However, given the unusual shape of the horn, this child may have some hidden talent.”

“Oh, Graterium! It’s a summoned pet with the nickname ground sloth. It seems that the student has a talent for earth or rock attributes. It goes well with his strong physique.”

“Punini! Here’s another fun summoner. Since it is a summoner that creates various plants within its body, it must have excellent compatibility with students who use alchemy.”

Duren’s lectures usually cover the basics.

For this reason, all the students in the classroom were first-year students, and they all summoned summons with their own unique characteristics, as if they were boasting about their talents.

Is that why?

‘Hmm, burning rhinoceros. It looks pretty strong, but compared to the gorilla I summoned, it doesn’t seem like much.’

‘Isn’t that the guy who said he was going to learn summoning as his main skill? But looking at what I summoned, I think I have more talent.’

‘I want to see pandas. As a hairy guy.’

‘Are these guys really in the same grade as me? Why are you so incompetent?’

Between the students sitting in their seats and looking down at the lecture table, an atmosphere of competition was forming, implicitly comparing themselves with other students.

“Now then, the next student!”

Duren noticed the change in the students’ mood, but partially ignored it.

The circle was a place of education to further enhance students’ skills, and at the same time, it was a place of competition where students competed for their skills and talents.

‘Well, but originally, I didn’t act so blatantly as this…… There was an order from the chairman to raise these children harshly, so there’s nothing we can do about it.’

Duren muttered that to himself, but it was just an excuse he made to himself.

Grinning-

As proof of that, the corners of Duren’s mouth went up slightly, and his voice calling out the student’s name had a higher tone.

Duren said the name on the list, expecting what kind of summon the student would bring this time.

“Next, Yujin Do.”

However, when no student responded to his name, Duren’s head turned slightly to the side.

‘What is it? I don’t think I misread the name…… Could there be a student who skipped class from the first day?’

When Duren pondered over various possibilities and wondered if he should call his name once again.

Drreuk-

From one side of the quiet lecture room, I heard the sound of a chair being pushed slightly.

As a result, the eyes of the students who were looking around, including Duren, turned toward the sound at the same time.

Then I saw a male student with a vague impression walking out.

“What? Was there a kid like that among the kids in class?”

“Why did you sit in a corner like that? I didn’t even know it existed.”

“Which class are you in? I don’t think he’s a kid in our class, right?”

While the students were whispering, the dark-haired male student came down to the desk and slightly bowed his head towards Duren.

“Sorry. I was nervous, so I came out late.”

“No. It could be.”

She thought to herself as Duren replied with a smile.

‘First of all, he is a student who doesn’t seem to have anything special from the outside.’

But are there only students who are too individualistic so far?

On the contrary, Duren felt a strange feeling of anticipation arise, and she pointed at the summoned gin.

“Now, you already know how to do it, right? All you have to do is put your hand on the summoning gin and channel her magical energy there.”

Dou-jin took a deep breath similar to a sigh and lightly placed her hand on the summoned Jin.

‘…… What?’

And there was no change.

“Hey, student?”

“Yes.”

“I’m really sorry about this question, but…… Are you inexperienced in handling magic?”

“…… Yes.”

Dou-jin nodded her head in affirmation at Duren’s words after choosing her words for a long time.

‘Oh my God.’

Even if you’re immature in mana handling, it doesn’t mean you can’t summon.

Recently, a type of summoning circle was developed for such people by absorbing the caster’s mana and activating it.

However, right now, Duren didn’t have that either.

That’s because even though he’s a student who entered the Circle, he can’t handle magic properly. His experience as a teacher was limited to one hand.

‘I never thought that student would be taking my class.’

While Duren was organizing his complicated thoughts.

Pufu-

The students who watched the situation laughed as a group when they saw Do Yu-jin.

“What, she went down proudly, so I thought she was a guy with something great, but was it just a bubble?”

“This is the first time I’ve seen a guy who can’t even handle magic properly. How incompetent is he?”

“I thought all the idiots got out of the circle because of this incident, but that trash is still there.”

When words of criticism flowed from the mouths of students, word by word, like that.

Percussion-!

“Quiet.”

Duren hit her podium with the palm of her hand and forced the students to shut up.

Competition among students is welcome.

However, if the competition becomes overheated and becomes a form of blaming each other, it was also the teacher’s role to stop it.

“Student Yujin Do…… Let’s go back for now, then the next student comes out. Keyzen Malius.”

“Yes.”

At Duren’s words, a blond-haired male student smiled and stood up from his seat.

I was going down the stairs like that.

Toouk-

Doujin Doujin and Kizen’s shoulders collided violently, and Doujin stumbled as a result, then grabbed onto the desk next to her.

Do Yujin’s pupils turned slightly.

I knew right away that it wasn’t a mistake.

Because Kizen’s mouth was blatantly smiling when he saw Doujin.

“Oh, sorry. In my nervousness, I tripped and bumped her on the shoulder.”

Saying that, Kizen lightly shook her Dou-jin’s shoulder.

Then he whispered in Doujin’s ear.

“Hey, if you can’t even use magic properly, why are you staying in the Alternative Circle? Oh, are you a parasite wannabe? Hey, be persistent, be persistent.”

Ssiik-

“If it were me, I would have bitten my tongue and committed suicide right away out of embarrassment.”

After her words, Kizen smiled one last time and went downstairs.

Then Dou-jin returned to her original seat and sat down quietly, listening to the students’ small laughter.

Everyone thought that they were forcibly holding back the emotions that were about to burst out while watching Yujin Do, but that was not the case.

‘Haa, if it weren’t for the fact that Seongsil would participate in class activities among the conditions for acquiring the trait, I wouldn’t have gone out and endured.’

Doujin was just blaming her own luck.

‘She tried to go out with high hopes, by the way, but that’s the way it is.’

It was impossible for her to move her magical powers without the help of her attributes.

‘If it was normal, I wouldn’t have expected this, but maybe it’s because she’s been working out for the first time in a while, so her hair has gone a little tasteless.’

While Doujin was grumbling inwardly, other students, including Kizen, proceeded to summon one after another, and her class ended with the sound of a bell.

The moment Do Yujin was about to go out after class like that.

“Ah, Yujin Do, please stay for a moment.”

Duren, who was at her desk, said so loudly.

‘If I don’t go, I’ll be in trouble later.’

So, Dou-jin let out a sigh and walked towards Duren.

[In a transparent world (5★)] Was dimmed as much as possible, so Durendo could see Doujin.

“Well, first of all, sorry. I didn’t mean to do that, but she ended up embarrassing student Doujin.”

“No, it’s okay because I understand.”

Because even if I were like me, if a guy who couldn’t even do arithmetic properly came to high school, I would definitely think, ‘What kind of kid is that stupid?’.

As I lightly accepted my apology, Duren glanced at me and said.

“I’m sorry to say this. Unless you can handle magical power properly, students will definitely have difficulties in class.”

She said as Duren looked straight at me.

“Are you still going to take classes with you? It’s okay to be honest. If the student wants, I can help him cancel my class right now.”

It was a kind suggestion, but I only had one answer.

“Thank you, but I will decline your offer.”

“I see…… “

“Yes.”

Tee-Ring-

[You have achieved a general achievement.]

[Acquire a new attribute (1★).]

“After taking today’s class, I got a rough idea of how to use the summoning technique.”
