I Became a Genius by Running Away From the Academy

29 – Correlation between Festivals and Villains (3)

A trash can rattled slightly in the back alley where Rias had disappeared and silence fell.

And after a while, a man opened the lid and peeked his head out of it.

“…… It went well.”

The man, Yujin Do, made sure that no one was around and came out of the trash can with a sigh of relief.

‘Haa, I don’t know what this is like right now.’

As I brushed off the dust from her body with my hands and shadow, a sigh came out automatically from a feeling of dejection for no reason.

‘Eh, it was unavoidable, so I have to accept it.’

The most important thing in this job was directing.

Because I had nothing, so I had to at least pretend to be present in order to win Rias’ cooperation.

Posting and acting out a cheesy tone?

Of course it was because of that.

‘At that time, I had to become an assassin in a cold city.’

And in order to achieve the climax of such a directing, it was necessary to show the appearance of disappearing in an instant with a cool appearance after the conversation was over.

Because that was the style of an assassin.

‘But the problem is that I don’t have the ability to do that.’

Fantastic movements that deceive the eye and disappear at high speed?

With my body, walking slowly down the back alley is the limit.

‘If I went out on foot like that, I’d have followed him thinking that I was going for a walk.’

What? Disappear from the spot as if melting into the shadows?

What is it?

How do you do that?

I’ll give you some leftover donuts from yesterday, so if anyone knows, please let me know.

Anyway, it was impossible to move around like a ghost with my body.

‘So I decided to change my mind.’

I decided to hide somewhere from the beginning and show my replacement to the other person.

Fortunately.

[In a transparent world]

▶ Rating – 5 stars

▶Description – Imagine yourself permeating transparently into the world. If you take a step forward in that state, you can enter a world that no one can feel.

▶ Effect – Makes your presence, appearance, and abilities all transparent. No one can find you in a transparent world.

[Through the shadow]

▶ Rating – 5 stars

▶Description – Ironically, you shine dazzlingly as you play a villain on stage in the dark. The shadows are fascinated by you and will move as you wish.

▶Effect – Makes the shadow under your feet your own and creates what you want. The stage will be created where you exist.

As I grew up, I had enough ability to do so.

…… Conversely, even with this level of ability, hiding in the trash was the best thing to do, but if you think deeply about that part, you’ll get depressed, so I shouldn’t think about it.

‘I bought a clean garbage bag and hid in it, so I should take comfort in that.’

I turned my thoughts of being depressed to other places.

‘Anyway, this is more effective than I thought.’

I took off the mask I was wearing around my mouth and looked down.

[Ghost Hatred] / Mask / 7★

-A mask made using the head of an archer who punished the good and praised the evil. Even after the main body dies, its mouth still mutters unclean words without losing its power.

-Skill [Suspicious Dark Ghost (疑心暗鬼)] Can be used.

-Skill [Weihobuwing (爲虎傅翼)] Can be used.

The mask you took from the black dog after killing it, the [Devil’s Hatred].

I was anxious to leave it in the dormitory, and I brought it in the hope that there might be a place to use it, but I did well.

‘I thought it would work well since it’s a historical-grade artifact, but it was better than I thought.’

Wihobuik (爲虎傅翼), this skill was also a tremendous skill that raised the user’s strength by one level.

However, the true value of the item [Hate of Exploration] Was not in that skill, but in the demon of suspicion.

[Suspicious Dark Ghost (疑心暗鬼)]

▶Explanation – “It is black trust, not thin lies, that shatters a strong body and raises doubts.”

▶Effect – By giving sincerity to one’s words, a new belief is engraved in the heart of the listener.

‘Originally, this item would have been in the hands of the Lord of the Black Dragon.’

And because of that, the organizations that looked after the protagonist would have collapsed one by one through internal divisions, and the organization called the Black Dragon, on the contrary, would have armed themselves through fanaticism and increased its power.

Specifically, by charging in with bombs wrapped around the body, or by injecting a powerful contagious plague into one’s own blood before jumping in.

‘Well, since this is in my hand, it would be impossible to use it that way now.’

Remembering him reminded me that I was even better at bringing this artifact.

“Anyway, to use this properly, you must first have a solid grip on the ghost character.”

Just today, I don’t know how many times my character was in danger of collapsing.

So I went back to the place where I left Erio while thinking about how to capture the ghostly character.

Warak-

“What happened all of a sudden?”

“Smell…… “

“Smell?”

What is it?

I’m using the attribute to get rid of my smell, so I don’t think I’ll smell anything.

I looked at Erio, who was sniffing me as he hugged me, half pricked and half puzzled.

After being so still, Erio spoke again.

“It doesn’t smell too bad.”

This was another unexpected tackle.

“Uh…… Is that bad?”

“Not a bad thing.”

Koo-wook-

“But I don’t like it.”

After saying that, Erio grabbed me like a cat and climbed up to cling to my back.

Then he buried his face in my back as if he didn’t want to talk anymore.

‘How about this…… ‘

While thinking about it, Erio’s bag caught my eye.

Thanks to that, a good idea popped into my head.

“Erio.”

“…… Why.”

“Since it’s such a long time coming, can I take a picture for you?”

Flinching-

At my words, Erio trembled slightly.

“Looking at it, I kept taking pictures of this and that today, but I don’t think there are any pictures of you yet.”

I waited for Erio’s next words with a trembling heart, hoping that he would come over.

“…… No.”

So when I couldn’t help but be disappointed by this statement.

Kwaak-

“I hate being alone, I like taking pictures together.”

Erio said holding me tight.

So, before Erio’s heart caught on, I quickly grabbed a passer-by and handed over the camera to ask them to take a picture.

To be honest, I didn’t have to do this if I was using a device, but I did this because Erio seemed to want to take a picture with the camera.

“Thank you for filming.”

“No. Then enjoy the festivities.”

After taking a few pictures like that, Erio got off my back and looked down at the camera.

‘It’s fortunate.’

If possible, I hope Erio doesn’t feel bad.

Even so, today’s festival seemed to end soon.

“Sheesh, you said you would contact him, when the hell are you going to contact him?”

Han Shi-yeon grumbled like that, and she drank the coffee she had just bought from a club booth.

In the meantime, there was no response from the device held in my hand.

Just like that, when Han Shi-yeon was calming her bubbling heart with her coffee.

“What, were you here?”

Siu Han, who was enjoying her festivities in full swing, approached her shaking her hand.

“I heard that since there is a guy who needs to be overwhelmingly stepped on, he will only train regardless of festivals or whatever.”

“Did you just come?”

Han Shi-yeon said that and chewed her plastic straw annoyedly.

“It’s almost evening. It’s stupid that I can’t show my skills because I’ve strained too much because of training, so I’m just trying to take a break.”

Just like the saying that she had just finished training, Han Si-yeon was wearing a cropped tee that showed off her belly button and loose jogger pants.

“You are suffering too.”

She muttered as Han Si-wu looked at Han Si-yeon as if she was dumbfounded.

I just wondered who the hell had provoked that bad-tempered half of himself.

‘I don’t know who it is, but I should say thank you if we have something to meet later.’

Although they are identical twins, their personalities are so different that it can be said to be diametrically opposed.

For example, Han Si-woo wanted a friend to be with him from a young age, but Han Si-yeon wanted a rival to bump into him from a young age.

But whether she is a blessing or a curse, Han Shi-yeon had a great talent.

She is so talented that she can go beyond her small mountain and make the huge Taishan (太山) her own.

My dirty personality, like telling me to attack if I don’t like it, was like a side effect.

“Sheesh, why is the coffee so sweet? Annoying.”

No, there were some innate things, though.

“But why are you here? You said you were going to hang out with your new friends.”

“Don’t talk like I’m some kind of playboy? Are we just friends?”

“I guess so.”

Han Shi-yeon said that and clicked her tongue, but she didn’t say anything more.

After years of experience, I know very well that talking about women to this filthy insensitive fellow is of no use to her.

‘Still, strangely, girls are gathering around me. What, are they spraying pheromones?’

Actually, that wasn’t what Siyeon Han was saying.

“Wow, look at you over there.”

“He has total charisma.”

Siyeon Han is also popular with women.

“But I don’t know why he was doing that a while ago.”

“Huh? Is there something strange going on?”

“No, it’s not a big deal, I was concerned about the student council being a bit busy a while ago.”

“A student council?”

When Han Si-yeon tilted her head like that.

Puong-!

A huge firecracker exploded in the sky.

“What, what firecrackers are you suddenly talking about?”

“Was this written on the schedule?”

“Isn’t another club doing this?”

That was when people were buzzing.

Tee-Ring-

Han Si-yeon’s device rang softly with a cheerful sound.

Ghost: Be careful. Because there will be raids.

‘What is this?’

Han Shi-yeon quickly checked and frowned at her.

The message from the ghost she wanted was correct, but it wasn’t about Dalian.

Just like that, when Han Shi-yeon is puzzled by characters whose meaning is unknown to her.

“uuu!!!”

Kwaaang-!

Someone suddenly appeared and attacked and destroyed the bench the two were sitting on.
