I Became a Genius by Running Away From the Academy - I Became a Genius by Running Away From the Academy chapter 71

71 – Encounters on the Journey (5)

As soon as I entered the room, my senses responded that there was something mysterious in the crowd’s laughter.

It’s not a big change.

To put it into perspective, the position of the shoes in the closet or the position of the perfume bottle on the dressing table are slightly different from before going to the convenience store.

But, to my dismay, this one was overwhelming.

‘What is it?’

Like a snake flicking its tongue to determine the location of its prey, I followed the signs of discomfort while following the senses on my skin.

“Uh ha ha! One more drink!”

“On a day like today, you can’t run out of alcohol!”

Then, fortunately, I was able to quickly find out the identity of the sense of incongruity I felt.

“Hey.”

“Huh?”

I lightly shook the bottle of alcohol toward Shigure, who suddenly looked at me as if asking why.

“Make these men stop drinking this drink.”

“Oh, sorry. Excuse me, my dad and uncles like raw alcohol…… “

“I’m not saying that.”

Jureureuk-

As I said that, I poured all the alcohol from the bottle I was holding onto the floor.

Then, everyone in the room, including Shigure, moved towards me.

“I don’t know who did what, but there’s poison in this drink.”

“What?”

At my words, not only Shigure, but also the other people who were drinking riotously looked at me with surprised eyes.

“What do you mean?”

“It is exactly what it says.”

Looking at Shigure’s father, he spoke again.

“The alcohol you are drinking is poisoned.”

“…… It doesn’t look like you’re joking around to lighten the mood.”

“I’m not one with a sense of humor to joke like that.”

“It seemed that way, but we’d rather think you were actually a man with a great sense of humor.”

Pu-wook-

“That’s why I can’t believe what you’re saying right now.”

As he waved his hand lightly, a shuriken protruded from his empty hand and slammed into the table.

“All of us here are ninjas, so naturally, handling poison and memorization is the basic of the basics.”

Completely different from the friendly eyes I’ve seen so far, sharp eyes like shurikens and sticky like poison flashed at me.

“So it’s hard for us to believe what you say. To the point where I doubt that maybe something is playing tricks on us.”

As soon as those words were finished, the momentum of dozens of refined ninjas poured into Doujin at once.

At that, Erio frowned and tried to step out.

“It’s okay, calm down.”

Do Yujin, who was at the center of the storm-like momentum, on the contrary calmly calmed down Erio as if nothing was wrong.

Seeing him, the eyes of the head of the Fuma clan slightly brightened.

‘It must have been so sharp that not only ordinary people, but even moderate superhumans could not stand it and collapsed.’

It seemed that he was not at the level of an ordinary student.

“Okay, if you’re that confident, that means you have some confidence too.”

Do Yujin nodded.

“Actually, what you drank was not real poison.”

“So what?”

Do Yujin said lightly.

“It is energetic.”

“Aura?”

“If you think of fire or cold air, it will probably be easier to understand.”

“Ah…… “

“That’s what you mean.”

A few people around me nodded at my further explanation.

A few even cleared their throats as if they had noticed something.

And I was able to roughly infer what would be where their thoughts landed now.

Challang-

I said as I held out the bottle to Shigure’s father, who was coughing exceptionally loudly.

“What is this drink made of?”

“…… Dad?”

“Keah hee hee hee!!!”

At Shigure’s words, he looked away.

Then, Shigure rushed towards her father without hesitation.

“Dad! Because I’m dangerous, I told you not to drink alcohol made with youkai! Why are you drinking alcohol with snakes in it!”

“Kuhm! But Shigure, that’s definitely our village’s traditional liquor…… “

“Ah, that’s okay. Just eat what’s on the market! Don’t drink anything dangerous like that!”

It was sad to see that he was the leader of a village, but he was being slapped on the back by his daughter like that.

Still, there was something that happened to me earlier, so I was standing there quietly.

I didn’t feel moved when I saw that, but I had more to say, so I intervened.

“Maybe it was simply because I drank alcohol with a monster…… It won’t be.”

I was a little worried, but since it was a situation where I introduced myself as a friend, I spoke in short language accordingly.

“Looking at it, it seems that it didn’t become like that because it caught the wrong monster, but because it fell into a trap.”

“A trap?”

“I don’t know the details either.”

Cheo-eok-

“But one thing we can know for sure is that this drink is a cursed drink made using the attribute of darkness.”

As I said that, I moved a small shadow over my palm.

“You, that…… “

“I see, he had that kind of ability to read the energy of alcohol.”

Unlike Shigure, who opened his eyes wide, his father nodded while looking at me, as if he had realized something.

“Right, so could you give me a hand?”

“Ho-oh, do you know how to do pulses?”

“I can’t do such grandiose things. I just know how to lightly check my energy and physical condition.”

“We call it Jinmaek.”

As he said that, he rolled up his sleeves and held out his arm to me.

“It can sting.”

I made my shadow as thin as possible, thinner than hair, and put it into his body.

If I had known how to use magic, I wouldn’t have needed to use it this way.

However, I had no choice but to use this method as the limit on my magic talent was slightly lifted only when I moved the shadow.

‘Well, I erased the existence of the shadow as an attribute, so you won’t feel a big difference.’

Thought so, I traced the blood vessels inside the head’s body with the shadow.

I was a little nervous because it was my first time moving a shadow this thin while using two attributes at the same time.

But fortunately or unfortunately, I was able to retrieve my shadow quickly, regardless of my nervousness.

“Oh, how about that?”

“Hmm, that’s…… “

I lightly gestured to Erio before speaking.

Then Erio rushed to my side.

I gave him a thumbs up as a sign of thanks and then looked at him and said.

“The energy is completely filling the blood vessels.”

“Hmm, are you saying the condition is serious?”

“When you say cancer, you can say it is terminal.”

At my words, the people around me widened their eyes in amazement.

And some people rose from their seats with indignant faces.

“Keep calm.”

However, at Shigure’s quiet rebuke, they sat down again with hardened expressions.

At first glance, she seemed infinitely calm and cold now.

But now, when I saw her hand, now white from holding her father’s hand, it wasn’t hard to guess what she was feeling right now.

“Could you elaborate a bit more?”

He said, placing his hand on top of Shigure’s.

“Do you know what the nine syllable veins are?”

“I know. It means that you have a constitution that is naturally cold.”

“Yes, it is so strong that the body cannot withstand it, and the owner of the given body is short-lived.”

He said as he stroked his chin.

“Can you think of it as a memorized version of the oral syllable?”

“Yes, that is correct.”

I nodded and Shigure, who was next to me, intervened.

“Does that make sense? I don’t think it’s possible that a superman who reached the level of my father couldn’t have noticed it until his body was like that.”

“The difference in energy.”

The behavior was still calm, but judging from the way he spoke as if he were talking to someone he didn’t know, it seemed that he hadn’t calmed down yet.

“Ice freezes what it touches, but darkness does not. Even if you know it exists, it quietly and secretly sucks in everything and grows itself.”

Because of this, it is very difficult to notice, and by the time you notice the symptoms, you have already reached a state where you can’t use your hands.

I didn’t hear the analogy of cancer for nothing.

“Perhaps you have been sleeping a little more lately, is that correct?”

“Hmm, right. I thought I was just in a bad shape, but I guess I wasn’t.”

“But…… “

Shigure looked at me and tried to say something again.

But her father stopped Shigure by stroking her hand with her hand.

“That friend is right. After realizing it, I can definitely feel the change in my body.”

“But…… “

At her father’s words, Shigure tried to say something, but lowered her head.

And I watched it quietly from the side.

Originally, I wouldn’t have intervened in their affairs no matter what.

Dying due to the disintegration of the blood vessels present in their bodies due to the dark attribute?

Al Bane.

The first and most important thing to me is my life, and the second most important thing is to hide my identity.

Everything else is below priority.

‘But…… ’

From noble mtl dot com

Mom-! Dad-!

No, don’t die!

I was wrong…… I was wrong, please……

Tsk-!

‘This time I was poked at my weakness too well.’

I scratched my head and said annoyedly.

“Once you have sorted out your emotions, would you like to talk about a cure for that condition?”

“What?”

“What?”

People who had bowed their heads in sorrow at my words raised their heads and looked at me.

It was the same with Shigure’s father.

“Is that possible? As you must have felt, it would be impossible to cure the degree of arteriosclerosis that has changed my body now.”

“Yes, what…… “

I looked at Shigure and at my past self next to him.

“But I am a genius, so I have the ability to save a dying person.”

At my sudden words, Shigure looked at me with a bewildered expression, but I smiled brightly in the past, when I desperately wanted someone else’s help.

And that was enough.

“Leave it to me.”
