I Became a Genius by Running Away From the Academy

8 – Growth hides in the shadows, so no one notices (1)

In the end, that day had come.

I quietly looked at the door of the classroom I received through the device last night.

“Ehh…… “

And I opened the door with a devastated feeling, like a college student who was about to enter the Department of Citrus Psychology in Jeju Island or the Department of Squid Beauty in Busan.

Drreuk-

When I opened the door, I saw a place more fittingly called a lecture room than a classroom, with long desks stacked in a tiered fashion towards a spacious lecture table.

“What, why did the door suddenly open?”

“Huh? Wasn’t it originally open?”

“Is that so? I don’t think it was.”

In the classroom, students with natural-colored hair were spending their time in their own ways.

‘It’s a sight I wouldn’t have seen in real life.’

After looking at the disparate scene for a while, I sat down in an appropriately empty seat and fell face down on the desk.

‘It’s hard.’

My mind was hazy after going to school in the morning for the first time in a long time.

In order to get the characteristics, I forcibly moved my garbage-like body and even did morning training.

Even while I was lying on my desk like that, time passed.

‘Fortunately, I don’t seem to have fallen into a bad class.’

Chiri-chi-rit, prince’s soldier, cross-dressing ninja.

The vacant positions were gradually filled, but the borderline characters that were immediately visible did not increase from those three.

Those three are all different depending on the branch, but they were characters that showed their faces at least once in the main story.

‘However, since Chiritchirit and the prince’s soldier are not interested in their surroundings, and the cross-dressing ninja is busy with work right now, it can be said that he did well in the half draw.’

Suddenly, regret came out of nowhere.

‘If the class had been assigned in such a way as to class S or F according to the student’s ability, like in mass-produced web novels, I wouldn’t have run into a single person at all.’

The circle did not divide students into classes according to their ability.

Rather the opposite, we divided the classes so that the averages of all classes were equal.

I knew roughly why, but it was very disappointing for me who wanted peace.

Drreuk-

While I was grumbling like that, the front door opened and a person came in.

‘Crazy!’

I was slumped on my desk in a daze, then I jumped up when I saw a man walking at the front door.

Dark reddish brown hair and sharp blue eyes.

She seems to be wearing a shirt of her own because she is a teacher, but even that could not erase her unique aura, like a wild wolf.

“Nice to meet you, my name is Jack Darcy, who will be in charge of this class 3 this time.”

When I heard that far, a sigh automatically came out of my mouth.

‘Even if I get caught, is it him?’

If the result of the half draw was a slight success, the result of the homeroom teacher draw was a catastrophic failure.

The boys in her class each looked at her with her sparkling eyes, mixed with anticipation and tension, as if she had a different opinion from me, or if she had finally realized that she had entered her circle.

Darcy looked at the students with a sad expression and then opened his mouth.

“First of all, before I tell you how to conduct classes, let me tell you guys what the circle is like.”

Darcy waved her hand lightly, splitting the class in half.

“Like this, half of you will be gone before your freshman year is even over.”

A chilly silence fell in the classroom, where warm fluttering fluttered at Darcy’s words.

“Oh, this doesn’t specifically mean we’re expelling you guys. It just means that you are most likely to choose it yourself.”

At Darcy’s words, the students rolled their eyes in disbelief.

Of course.

I couldn’t have imagined that he would leave the circle he entered on his own after going through all the hardships.

Looking at these students, Darcy said as if he knew that.

“Even in the combat department you belong to, there are 10 classes with 100 students in each class, so there are a total of 1,000 students. If you add guys from other departments, it increases even more.”

Darcy snapped and lifted one of his fingers.

“Then, the question here, does anyone know why the circle, which is currently called the best school in name and reality, is accepting so many new students?”

Because you selected freshmen while focusing on talent or passion? Well, that’s not wrong.

Because the circle is overflowing with rotten money? This is not wrong either. But there is another perfect answer.

As he continued talking, Darcy’s nonchalant eyes turned to them once more.

“Even if you pick a lot of correct answers, it’s because halfway guys can’t stand it and fall off on their own.”

Toouk-

The sound of her tapping her podium with her fingers echoed throughout the classroom.

“I’m not saying don’t be happy about being in the circle. However, if you continue to be satisfied with that, you will leave this place with the fact that you have entered the Circle.”

Gulp-

A student unknowingly swallowed at the cold reality suddenly confronting him.

“Now, if you know, get your head straight.”

Thinking Darcy was feeling a bit better now, he turned on the projector.

At this point, let’s take a quick look at Jack Darcy, a woman who might be more suited to a lit cigarette than chalk on a blackboard.

“Now then, I will briefly tell you about the upcoming schedule today.”

Since she was a child, she has been living in the Field, a land stolen by monsters, and has been a hunter who has been hunting monsters.

That perverse personality was a side effect of throwing dodgeball at school and throwing monsters and arrows at the age of play.

In other words, in short, she is a grunt but competent teacher who has one in each academy.

“The circle has ‘student freedom’ as its basic policy. That’s why the common classes that all classes take together are only in the morning, and you have to fill in the classes you want yourself in the rest of the afternoon.”

Darcy said that and operated the projector.

Then, as she said, the mornings were filled with her classes, but the afternoons were empty.

It’s a little unusual timetable, but it was actually simple.

Because they said to become a high school student in the morning and become a college student in the afternoon, like Cinderella.

“Depending on how you use freedom in the circle, it can be your best helper or your best hindrance.”

Sug-

“So, if you are serious about becoming superhuman, seriously think about how to use the freedom you have been given.”

After Darcy finished speaking, the device in my pocket rang softly.

No, not just me, this half-powered device rang at the same time.

“In that sense, it is a time of choice. For the rest of the time, choose a class while contemplating on your own. If you don’t know or have any questions, feel free to ask me. I will tell you as far as I know.”

As Darcy said, the students in the class took out their devices.

Then I thought carefully about which class to choose by asking Darcy various questions.

‘For now, this and this will do.’

But I didn’t.

Unlike those guys, I already knew my talents well.

‘I’d rather not listen to anything other than summoning and alchemy.’

I don’t know what kind of student this school has recorded me as.

But I was thinking of ignoring them all and moving on to Summoner and Alchemist.

Lessons of daggers and firearms?

It’s not that I’m not interested, but I didn’t intend to listen.

Because there was no way I could keep up with those two classes with my physical talent and magic talent.

‘Well, if you take classes, you will grow to some extent…… I will grow faster if I train alone than if I force myself into the framework of the class.’

And I wanted to keep it as secret as possible that I could use a dagger and a firearm in preparation for an emergency situation, for example, the moment I bumped into them while pushing the protagonists from behind.

To be honest, I was more wary of the main character right next to me than the villain who hasn’t appeared yet.

‘Yes, but…… ‘

Haa-

I was scratching my head and chose another class, [Ranged Shooting].

One of the main heroines would have chosen this class by now.

So I didn’t want to press it, but I couldn’t help it.

It was just as important to develop the protagonists as not to get deeply involved with them.

‘It’s not that strange for a student with a main role as a summoner to handle firearms. So it will be fine.’

I ended up choosing the lecture, hoping nothing happened.

After praying like that, it was three minutes before the end of the first class.

“You can choose any course for the next two weeks, so think carefully before making a decision.”

With that said, Darcy turned off the projector.

“Whew.”

When I saw him, I sighed with the feeling that something had come.

Although I explained a little while ago about Jack Darcy, it’s hard to understand why I’d say she’s a big loser for being her homeroom teacher.

Isn’t it because you ignore the theory and make the class weird or don’t take good care of the students with a condescending personality?

On the contrary, the field is not a place where you can survive just because you have power.

Darcy’s knowledge of monsters, flora and fauna, and the environment was outstanding, comparable to that of prominent doctors.

Because of this, her class was a popular class with many students flocking to it, and she was kind to the students who came with her motivation.

However, there is only one reason why I described her as her great failure.

“Then, everyone, for the next class, gather in the third training room instead of here. I’ll do a simple skill evaluation.”

Rather than talking about the theory in her book, it was because she gave a hyper-practical class where she threw students into a real-life environment and drew out everything they had.

“Did you pick all the weapons?”

In the storage room of the training room, there were swords, spears, axes, gauntlets, shields, and all kinds of weapons for the students.

The students each chose one of them according to their taste and looked at Darcy with eyes full of fighting spirit.

By the way, I also packed a pistol-like gun and some magazines and stood there blankly.

I don’t have much strength, but I didn’t have to worry about the recoil of the gun.

Since it is a world where all kinds of technology such as magic, science, and magical engineering have been developed, the recoil of the gun is so weak that even a 5-year-old child can handle it freely.

‘Anyway, it’s amazing.’

It was given for practice, but it was a good weapon enough to easily pass 1 million won if released on the market.

‘It’s a really good school, given free meals and lending out weapons like this.’

However, thinking that it was all because of making the students work harder somehow made my mouth feel dry.

“Okay, once you’ve made your choice, jump right in.”

A small commotion spread among the students at Darcy’s words.

“Hey…… Are we not sparring with each other, are we sparring with the teacher?”

“Then did I look like I was holding this great sword because I didn’t have a staff?”

“Can we all rush at once?”

“Yes, that’s right, so come quickly.”

Despite Darcy’s urging, the students hesitated to attack.

“But no matter how hard it is, it’s a bit difficult to attack at the same time even though there are 100 of them…… “

Fishik-

At the words of one student, Darcy laughed as if he was cute and laughed.

“When you have time to worry about me, worry about you guys.”

Darcy said that and slowly calmed down.

“Wow!”

“Heo Eok!”

Then, the students saw a vision of a huge wolf looking down at them, and took up arms without realizing it.

Instinct comes before reason.

She has her absolute gap between herself and herself.

“Looks like you’ve come to your senses now.”

She laughed and snapped her finger.

“If you feed me even one shot, it’s an extra point. So do your best.”
