I Became a Genius by Running Away From the Academy

23 – Indispensable things in the academy (2)

“But what are you going to do?”

When I was thinking about what kind of picture Erio was drawing, she looked at me and asked.

“What are you going to do?”

“Choosing clubs.”

“Oh, that.”

As if he wanted to say that life is a series of choices, he chose the class he wanted to take, and this time it was his turn to choose which club he would join.

“I told you that the club exhibition will be held from this weekend because of this.”

“I heard that it will definitely start tomorrow morning.”

“Yes, so I’m looking forward to it. I think it will be fun.”

“Certainly I am looking forward to seeing how big it will go.”

I don’t have a suitable word to replace it with, so I’m calling it a club exhibition, but in fact, the reality wasn’t that light.

That’s because this place was a circle.

“Is it big?”

“Didn’t you know? From clubs that aim to seriously improve their skills to simple hobbies and friendship clubs, literally all clubs in the circle come out to boast about their achievements.”

Yum-

“So, of course, the scale has to be bigger than I imagined.”

Moreover, creating a club was not difficult.

As a result, there were all kinds of clubs in the circle, such as the hip-hop club, the farming club, and the detective club.

‘When I joined the hip-hop club, I gave it the trait [Did you get the pink mask? (1★)].’

…… Sometimes I wonder who wrote all these traits.

“I see.”

Erio nodded slightly when he first realized that there were so many clubs in the circle.

“Yes. In addition, all the clubs that came out like that would be more complicated because they would be frantic to get new students to join their clubs and sponsors to support their clubs.”

“Sponsors?”

At the word sponsor, Erio tilted his head once more.

This is what I think every time I see him, but it’s clear that he really came to the circle without the slightest interest.

“First of all, we call it a club, but the members of it are the newly admitted students of the club full of talent.”

At the part where Erio is full of talent, he tilted his head slightly as if wondering.

“It’s because you’re such a genius, but even the kids in the restaurant right now aren’t fooled anywhere.”

Of course, I was excluded from that.

When I woke up, it was a rare case that had fallen here.

“Anyway, since the skills of the students belonging to the club are not mediocre, the results made from club activities are no longer something to be dismissed as simply the results of club activities.”

For example, there was a club called “Where do monsters come from and where do they go?”, And while studying the behavior of monsters, the club came up with an idea to stylize monsters for food.

“And thanks to that, the company that sponsored the club grew 50 times that year.”

I was referring to this when I said that it could not simply be called a club exhibition.

Overall, it was clear that tomorrow would be a fun festival.

But in the meantime, there would be a fierce battle between the people of various guilds or companies who were trying to find the treasure somehow, and the students of the club who were going to ask for the hukou somehow.

Yum-

“Well, actually, it has nothing to do with us, who are not in the club, so it doesn’t matter if you don’t know.”

“Yeah, okay.”

At my words, Erio gave the biggest nod ever.

“By the way, what will the club do? Are you thinking of going in?”

“Yeah, I’m thinking of putting in about two?”

“A cooking club and a baking club?”

I said that because the limit on the number of clubs a person can join is two, but Erio seemed to think I said two because of those two.

“Why are the options the way they are?”

“Yeah, Yujin likes to eat. Especially donuts.”

“…… Well, not really.”

Thanks to clearing 10 servings for a week, I can now just eat comfortably.

But apart from that, I still ate a lot of rice to recover my body.

I was still living with donuts in my mouth to recover my mental power.

“But I won’t go in there.”

“Really?”

I wonder what they really thought of me, the reaction was pretty intense.

“I don’t really go in.”

Honestly, I was interested.

‘But I can’t miss out on the traits given by joining the club, so I have to give up.’

Because I couldn’t say that I would leave the club the day after I joined it.

‘Well, there’s nothing I can’t do if I’m told to do it, but there’s no way another club will accept someone who has left the club that way, so it’s only right to choose one club carefully.’

As I was thinking that, a small palm tapped my thigh.

Wanting something, I looked down and saw Erio on her lap looking at me with a puzzled expression.

“So which club are you going to join?”

At Erio’s words, I swallowed all the pieces of steak and spoke lightly.

“Theater club and cosplay club.”

“…… To?”

Hearing my words, Erio opened his mouth in a daze.

Then he looked at me as if I had heard him right.

Nod-

So he nodded his head to show that what he had heard was correct.

“Is it that unexpected?”

“I am very surprised.”

Erio said with an assertion.

“Honestly, I thought Eugene would not join any club at all unless he joined those two clubs.”

“I guess so.”

“Then why do you want to join the theater club? Did you also have a hobby of acting?”

“No, even if you give 100 steps, it’s the one who sees.”

“But why?”

I was thinking about how to say this, but I said it briefly.

“I am just like you.”

“The same?”

“Yes, to grow.”

There is something I felt when I evolved [Hidden Snake] By mixing [Transparent Recluse] And [Passed Person Hides Identity].

The evolution of characteristics does not happen randomly, but it is done after setting the direction once through the characteristics that became materials.

‘Did I say Papier collé?’

Perhaps everyone has done it in art class in elementary school.

The work of tearing up several magazines, dividing the pieces according to one’s taste, and attaching them with glue to form a picture.

The process of evolving characteristics was similar.

Then, the problem here is, what kind of characteristics are most compatible with [Shadow Play], Which is still in the 3rd star?

‘Of course it’s a theater club.’

In the first place, the answer was written at the back of [Shadow Play], So there was no need to worry.

By the way, I chose the cosplay club for a similar reason.

If I was obsessed with the story, it was the play, but I was obsessed with the character because it was the cosplay.

‘It’s sad that I haven’t acquired those two traits yet, so I’m still unable to combine them.’

Even if I entered the club and acquired the attributes, it would have been obvious that both would be 1-star attributes.

So, in order to grow him to at least 3 stars, he had to save as much as possible for the characteristics that would become materials.

“So what are you going to do?”

“…… For now, I want to think about it.”

“Really? I thought you wouldn’t be interested in the club, but I’m surprised.”

“It’s a rare opportunity.”

Erio said that and leaned his back on my chest.

Then he glanced at me, hesitated, then opened his mouth.

“So, by the way…… If there’s nothing special tomorrow, why don’t you go see the club with me?”

“With me? Is it okay if I don’t go out with my family?”

“Yes, no problem.”

“Um…… “

I thought for a moment and then nodded.

“Yeah, good.”

“Really?”

Erio opened his eyes wide and was delighted, as if he hadn’t expected that I would agree so meekly.

‘It just went well.’

Looking at Erio like that, I thought quietly.

‘I’ve been thinking about how to make him naturally meet the male lead. I’ll use this as an opportunity to put him in the same club as the male lead.’

I felt like money suddenly fell from the sky when I was walking down the street, so I laughed at Erio who was happy.

“Then see you tomorrow morning.”

“Yes!”

After we made the appointment and finished our meal, I parted ways with Erio.

In that state, I quietly walked down the street at night and took out the device that had been shaking for a while.

It was obvious without seeing who contacted me.

Swordsman: Hey, are you flirting with me right now?!

Swordsman: When are you going to fight me!!!

“Seriously, how does he do this every day?”

I sighed and moved my fingers.

Ghost: I’ll fight you this week.

Ghost: So stop bothering me and practice my sword swing.

Swordsman: Ha! You don’t need that?

Ghost: So, were you practicing running away after getting hit by me?

After I sent it like this, I lost contact again.

‘I’m sure he’s cooling off the heat on his head.’

In a way, he was a simpler guy than Erio.

Swordsman: You really should just run away.

Ghost: OK, so I’m enjoying the club exhibition.

I finally put the device in my pocket.

‘Now that I’ve set up a provocation like this, I’m sure he’ll be in the circle now.’

I snapped my fingers, satisfied that I had one more card to prepare for the situation.

‘If my memory is correct, this festival will disappear without any accidents, just playing the role of bringing the protagonist and heroine closer together.’

However, as long as this place is on the Lunatic difficulty level, you shouldn’t be careless.

In this difficulty, even when eating donuts, it was necessary to take a posture while eating, suspecting that it was actually salt and not sugar.

‘In addition, it’s even more dangerous now that I’ve pulled out a pile of nose hairs from the Black Dragon Society.’

As I wanted, there was a high probability that the Black Dragon Society would move to use that power instead of increasing its own power for the time being.

‘Thanks to that, I got over the challenge, but it’s honestly impossible to predict what kind of ripples will arise because of that.’

I had no choice but to be as alert as possible and respond appropriately to the situation at the time.

“Let’s go to the club tomorrow as soon as possible. And after I get the characteristics, I should go around places where a lot of incidents are likely to happen together with Erio.”

After making that plan, I passed out on the bed after training.

The moment I closed my eyes and tried to sleep.

Kong Kong Kong-

Suddenly, a strange sound came to my ears.

I wondered what was going on, so when I opened my eyes, I saw a very strange sight.

“Why is it already 6 o’clock?”

The sky, which was obviously dark, was shining brightly before I knew it.

Kong Kong Kong-

As I was gazing blankly at the scene, I heard a sound from the front door once again.

I wanted to do something, so I opened the door.

“Hello.”

“Okay, bye.”

Erio stood with a flushed face, her eyes twinkling.

Well, the expressionless face was the same though.

“…… See you early?”

“Yeah, I was really looking forward to it, so I came out quickly.”

“Did you come all the way from your dormitory?”

“Usually Eugene came to pick me up, so today I came to pick him up.”

“…… Good job.”

How to raise a child’s liking Second, affirm and praise their opinions.

Remembering that, I tried to raise the corner of my mouth and said.

What is the first method?

Kikik-

“I’m sorry, but I’m not ready yet? So, by the way, could you wait in my room for a minute? There are also snacks, so I’ll give them to you.”

That’s snacking.

It is a rule that uncles who buy hamburgers are more popular than parents who feed side dishes with vegetables.

“Wow, it’s so small.”

“Is your dormitory different?”

“Yes, much bigger than here.”

“As expected, the best students are different.”

Like this, the day dawned early for me and Erio to watch the club.
