Chapter Index

    After a brief interview, Darcy used his authority as a professor to place Do Yu-jin in an empty training ground.

    “For now, you should do some light training here on your own until I come back.”

    This was Darcy’s answer to Do Yu-jin’s request, but it was also a process to clear the doubts in her mind.

    Knock knock-

    And thanks to that, Darcy was able to confirm that Do Yu-jin’s words were the truth without any exaggeration.

    ‘Certainly, at this level, it would be impossible for him to be trained at the same level as other kids.’

    Darcy originally planned to keep Do Yu-jin in the training room for at least an hour and not open it.

    However, the situation inside the training room that I saw through the device was so shocking that I had to stop class and come here.

    ‘No matter how I look at it, there doesn’t seem to be anything wrong with his body, so how could that be possible?’

    After Darcy left, Do Yu-jin began training diligently according to her orders.

    I said it was training, but in reality, it wasn’t anything grand enough to warrant such a claim.

    It was such a light exercise that even a superhuman who just lightly ran around the training room wouldn’t be able to do a proper warm-up.

    ‘But to cause such a fuss by doing just that… … ‘

    During the short 10 minutes it was hard to boil even 5 cups of ramen, Do Yu-jin ran around the training room and fell down without stopping.

    It was so miserable that even a baby who had just learned to walk would shake its head.

    It didn’t seem like they were acting, though, because the way they fell was different for each person.

    If all those bizarre body movements and the ever-changing center of gravity were all acting… … it would have been polite to be fooled.

    Sigh-

    ‘I saw it with my own eyes, so now I have no choice but to believe it.’

    Darcy, who had gathered his thoughts with a sigh, approached Do Yu-jin.

    “At this point, you can skip the basic physical training class as you wish, and you can even take additional classes.”

    When a student who was lacking in skills asked for extra lessons, the professor could not refuse him.

    In a circle, the teacher was basically the one who taught.

    “Let me just give you a few choices… … ”

    “I just need you to train my body.”

    “Are you saying you don’t need to listen to what I have to say?”

    Darcy frowned openly.

    She originally boasted an intimidating atmosphere, but when she openly frowned, an ominous atmosphere was created that would make even the most intimidated person unable to open their mouths.

    “No, that’s not it… …Actually, my condition is more serious than you think.”

    Do Yu-jin just smiled vaguely without any particular disturbance.

    “You might suggest that I should just practice using my magical powers instead, but I can’t use my magical powers at a similar level to this.”

    “You can’t even use your magic properly?”

    “To be specific, it’s to the point where you feel like you have magic power in your body and can only move very slowly.”

    Unless she was forcibly drawing out magical power by using the power of her special ability, Do Yu-jin was right at that level.

    “… … You don’t want to go to a non-combat line?”

    “If I had considered that as an option, I wouldn’t have come to see you in the first place.”

    Ugh-

    Do Yu-jin said, raising her upper body with a light groan.

    “There’s a reason why I absolutely have to get stronger. Unfortunately, I can’t go there. Even if I go, I can’t hear it as the main.”

    “Ha, I see.”

    Darcy sighed and poured the potion on Do Yu-jin’s head with a dull expression.

    “You said you wanted to train your body, right?”

    “Yes, since I can’t even run, my methods for training my body are very limited.”

    Slurp-

    “… … By the way, it’s cold.”

    “Hold on, that’s because I just took it out of the fridge.”

    “Then, can you not pour it all at once?”

    “You’re hurt all over the place, so no.”

    Darcy answered as he slightly turned his wrist to slow down the potion’s flow.

    While doing so, he organized information about a student named Do Yu-jin in his head.

    ‘What an impertinent guy.’

    I couldn’t even fathom how long it had been since I’d seen someone this brazenly approach me.

    ‘Well, I know you mean it.’

    Toouk-

    “Okay, I’ll help you train as you wish. I’ll also teach you how to use your body.”

    “Huh? Really?!”

    Do Yu-jin opened her eyes wide and shouted without realizing it.

    The reason he asked Darcy for additional lessons was to efficiently raise his stats.

    In [Circle Academy], the main character travels around as a student and does various activities, which naturally leads some players to have such questions.

    ‘Why do I have to travel around here and there as a student? Why can’t I just drop out and live more comfortably?’

    If it’s obvious, then it’s an obvious question.

    Because you have much more freedom to move around outside than being tied down to school as a student.

    However, the game developers had guessed what such players were thinking, so they added a device to the circle.

    This is a device that allows you to grow your character faster by taking classes in the circle.

    ‘And the most effective of these classes is when you receive direct guidance from the teacher.’

    Originally, it was a special privilege that only those with excellent grades received, but since my skills were so poor, I was able to receive attention instead.

    Glance-

    ‘But who would have thought that I would get a hint to solve this annoying physical condition?’

    Do Yu-jin’s heart fluttered at the unexpected harvest.

    I closed my eyes and took a deep breath for a moment, thinking that my heart might burst, but thanks to that, I didn’t see Do Yu-jin.

    “Okay, I’ll make you jump.”

    The corners of Darcy’s mouth go up as he says that, as if he’s been tricked.

    Again, the Circle Professor cannot refuse a student’s request for additional classes.

    Yet the reason why many students do not exercise this right is simple.

    “By any means necessary.”

    It was like running towards a hungry wolf with sausages wrapped all over his body.

    ◎ ◎ ◎

    Step by step – step by step –

    “Where are you going now, Professor?”

    “You’ll know right away when you see it, so just keep quiet and follow me.”

    Darcy answered curtly, thought about something for a moment, then smiled and spoke again.

    “Oh, no. If you’re that bored, let’s just have a quick chat on the way.”

    “Want to talk?”

    “Yeah, if you don’t like the conversation, you can think of it as a class.”

    Darcy said with the corners of his lips slightly raised.

    “First of all, why do you think you can’t run?”

    “Isn’t it just because you don’t have the sense to use your body?”

    Tsk-

    Darcy clicked his tongue openly at Do Yu-jin’s answer.

    “Isn’t it?”

    “Not at all. Anyway, these days, guys just keep making excuses, saying that whatever they do is a talent.”

    Darcy continued grumbling.

    “Well, your case is definitely so unique that I’ve never seen it before, so it’s not unreasonable to misunderstand it. But that’s wrong.”

    “Wrong… … ”

    “Tsk, open your ears and listen carefully.”

    Darcy looked straight at Do Yu-jin and said.

    “Talent is just talent. If you couldn’t even run properly just because you didn’t have the talent or sense you think, humans would have gone extinct long ago. Do you understand?”

    Do Yu-jin nodded absentmindedly at Darcy’s spirit and then spoke quietly.

    “But my body is actually doing this ridiculous thing.”

    “That’s because you were foolishly fooled by your body’s whims.”

    “You fooled me… … ”

    “Listen carefully, you can only walk but not run? That would require more than just talent, you would also need to have some kind of physical disability… … ”

    Knock knock-

    “You, you’re fine.”

    Darcy said, tapping Do Yu-jin’s thigh with one hand.

    “Okay, now change your mind and answer again. Why do you think you can’t run?”

    “… … Is it because your sense of balance is messed up?”

    “It’s still lacking, but it’s a much better answer than simply saying talent.”

    Darcy said with a small smile.

    “Strictly speaking, it’s not that you can’t run. You’re just so clumsy at using your body that you can’t hold out for long and fall down as soon as you start running.”

    Do Yu-jin felt admiration without realizing it as she heard Darcy say that.

    ‘You’ve analyzed this much in such a short amount of time. Is it true that the professors at Circle are different?’

    As he listened to her explanation, hope began to rise in Do Yu-jin’s heart that she could also jump.

    “Then, Professor, what do you think is the reason why I can’t run?”

    “It’s not that simple.”

    Darcy said, poking Do Yu-jin’s chest with his finger.

    “The reason you can’t run is simply because you don’t try hard enough.”

    “… … Effort?”
