I Became a Genius by Running Away From the Academy

Chapter 7

7 – Genius Dumb (3)

Fallang-

“This is finally the end.”

Rias Vermillion, the student council president of the circle, murmured softly.

There was a hint of fatigue in her voice that couldn’t be hidden.

After finishing signing her last paper, she stretched her arms high in the sky and shivered.

“Huh…… “

A moan escaped from Rias’ mouth, a mixture of mental pleasure that she had finished her work and physical pleasure that her stiffened body was being released.

Her voluptuous breasts throbbed gently in sync with the tremors of her body.

If the place where Rias was now was not inside the room, but outside, like a cafe, her destructive appearance would have focused all the men around her at once.

‘It was finished sooner than I thought.’

With work behind her, she thought she would finish it late at night, but when she looked up at the sky, it was just getting dark.

Tee-Ring-

As she was holding her breath for a moment, Rias’s device rang softly.

“Ehh, anyway, the position of student council president never ends.”

Rias grumbled and checked her mail.

At that moment, her cloudy eyes suddenly brightened.

What was in her mail was not a new job, but a video of her surprise test that she had requested.

‘I just finished my work, but I came at the right time.’

Rias was delighted with her coincidence and downloaded her video.

The video of the surprise test was classified as educational material inside the circle, so even the many high-ranking guild members who were watching the entrance ceremony today couldn’t see it.

The reason why Circle filmed this video was to gather information from students and provide better quality lessons, not to show students like goods to the people of the guild.

‘Well, but the people of the guild will surely steal this information somehow…… ‘

Ssiik-

‘Still, he must be slower than me.’

It’s hard, but I was good at being the student council president.

Rias thought so and opened her downloaded file with a smile on her face.

The file contained the same number of images as the number of cameras installed in the auditorium.

Rias immediately selected several files and played them.

Then, the different screens were merged, and on the device screen, what was happening in the auditorium at that time came into view at a glance.

Originally, even if she was the student council president, it was impossible for her to know the details of the test to this extent.

However, in this test, it was possible.

That’s because this surprise test was made by her, not by the teacher.

‘Hmm, the first thing that catches my eye is the students above the auditorium. However, there are many students who can see the buds among the general students. Later, if I get a chance, I’ll try talking to them one by one.’

Rias wrote down the names of those he thought were talented one by one.

Because it was a test she wrote herself, she was able to quickly find people who met her criteria.

‘Well then, I have roughly found the talent I want, but the question is, how do I attract them?’

A small sigh escaped Rias’ lips.

She didn’t come to her circle simply to hone her skills.

No, to be more precise, it was more accurate to say that improving skills and searching for talent are all for one purpose.

“Is the princess going to be okay?”

Just for the sake of his master.

The Vermillion family is a knight family that has produced royal knights for generations.

That’s why Rias also practiced the sword from a young age, and with his outstanding talent, he became a royal knight at the earliest age and chose the third princess as his master.

3 The princess was the weakest in terms of power and rank among her successors to the royal family, but she was the wisest in her eyes and was full of the qualities of her lord.

That’s why Rias never regretted choosing her as her lord.

‘But, objectively, it’s true that the power of the three princesses is weaker than the other factions.’

Koo-wook-

‘That’s why my role is important.’

In this era, the influence of one superman is great.

Knowing that, Rias went back to England as soon as vacation began.

She

She And she actively took advantage of the fact that she became the sophomore student council president of the Circle, adding strength to the faction of the Third Princess.

‘Thanks to that, she has grown her power to the point where she can speak to some extent, but it’s still absurdly lacking.’

The faction that Rias belonged to was still overwhelmingly inferior to the other factions.

In order to change her inferiority, it was necessary to accept as many new talents as possible, not just to strengthen internal stability.

It was for this reason that Rias overreacted and received the right to execute her surprise test, and that she dared to carry out such a surprise test.

In order to preoccupy talented people faster than anyone else by confirming the nature and sparkling talent that emerges from the crisis when they have not yet learned anything.

‘There are definitely a lot of gemstones, just like the Golden Horseman.’

The more talented people, the better.

Remembering him, Rias looked more closely at the screen with serious eyes and reviewed the video.

“Huh?”

And thanks to that serious attitude, Rias could feel a sense of incongruity in the video.

‘This part…… Is something a little strange?’

Video freezes.

In the frozen video, Han Si-yeon was avoiding Lesser Drake’s attack.

Rias focused on that part.

‘How can I say this posture…… ‘

If you just look at it, it looked like Han Shi-yeon broke the gargoyle and rolled behind her to avoid Lesser Drake’s attack.

But Rias’ intuition was telling her otherwise.

‘Is there something I don’t know?’

Rias rewinds the video to a moment ago and checks that part once again.

Thanks to that, the sense of incongruity became stronger, but the cause of the sense of incongruity was still not found.

So Rias ran the video once again.

Change the angle and try again.

Turn the camera back.

Again with different speeds.

Again, again, again.

How many times have you tried that?

“This…… “

Rias finally realized the identity of the sense of incongruity he felt.

‘Couldn’t it be that you didn’t avoid it yourself, you were pushed by someone else?’

It was hard to notice because of the lesser drake’s black hide, but when I zoomed in and looked closely, I saw a blurry black doll smeared over the lesser drake’s hide.

The moment she realized that, Rias felt a small goosebump in his arm.

She herself was there, but she never dreamed that such a student was on the move.

‘And a student who is so good at stealth that he’d give the best student a shot?’

Rias’s head became complicated.

Because I’ve never heard of a student like this among the freshmen.

‘Then he…… Does that mean it’s a treasure that no one knows about, who came into the Circle hiding its power?’

Gulp-

Rias involuntarily swallowed.

‘A talent whose name is not known even though he has outstanding abilities. This is exactly what I was looking for!’

Even her ability in the video seemed to be stealth, an ability that could be of great help in the future succession competition.

“Come to think of it, did one of the student council students say he saw fainted freshmen gathered together in a safe place today?”

At the time, I just skipped over it, but after watching this video, it seemed like this student was doing it.

‘A talented person with not only outstanding abilities but also the personality to take care of other students who have fallen?’

Hwaruk-

A spark flew from Rias’s eyes as she reached that point.

‘You must catch him!’

Rias made up his mind and grabbed a device that was the size of a laptop and raised it to the size of a TV.

Rias, who enlarged the screen with the magnifying function that only the latest devices have, entered all the cameras installed in the auditorium and looked at the part where Han Si-yeon flew away.

However, despite searching all the cameras, the body features were exquisitely hidden in the shadows, and there was not a single trace left that could be called a proper trace.

‘Eh, it’s nice to be a talented person, but your skills are so great…… ‘

From the time it first appeared to the moment it disappeared mixed with the dust, Rias’ body heated up with impatience as she continued to search and find nothing.

‘Isn’t someone suddenly swiping and snatching away like this? That’s not enough, but somehow there’s a string to find this jewel…… Ah!’

Rias’s eyes returned to the video.

‘Han Shi-yeon! This student might know.’

Because he was the person who was pushed, he could have seen something with his own eyes at that moment.

When I watched the video with that thought in mind, I actually saw Han Si-yeon fly back, look around, pick up something from the floor, and hold it in her hand.

‘As expected, I was right!’

A bright smile bloomed on Rias’ lips when he confirmed that the string hadn’t broken yet.

But that laugh turned into a sigh in an instant.

‘Ugh, but even if you know, it’s a problem…… ‘

It’s good to have found the location of the clue, but the problem was that Han Si-yeon was the one holding the clue.

‘If you listen to what he said on stage, he must not have good feelings for me. Looking at me at that time, I could clearly see that I was annoyed.’

At that time, Han Shi-yeon was a bit aggressive in her behavior and her tone of voice irritated her, not Rias, but Do Yu-jin, who had kicked her in the face, but she had no way of knowing about Rias until then.

‘It’s also a problem that everyone leaves and he knows that I’m looking for this student.’

The life of information is security.

That’s why Rias wanted to block the leaking hole as much as possible.

‘He said he was from a famous Korean military family who had lost his power…… If that’s the case, there’s a certain possibility of stealing it, even if it’s not to the extent of a guild.’

Rias clenched his fists.

I felt like I wouldn’t be able to sleep properly for a week out of regret if I lost this kind of talent right in front of my eyes.

“Ugh, that’s why I can’t stay still like this…… “

After groaning for a while, Rias soon came up with a compromise.

‘For now, Han Si-yeon, it’s clear that she will find that student too, so let’s just quietly watch her for a while.’

She thought it was better.

She also needed time to organize this sudden information.

‘If I find that student, she should think about what bait to throw.’

Rias finished her thoughts and shrunk her device back to its original size.

Then she checked the time.

“It’s really late.”

After tidying up her room, Rias lay down on her bed to put her to sleep.
