I Became A Flashing Genius At The Magic Academy

Chapter 42-2

They turned their heads discreetly and saw Mayuseong standing there with a gentle smile.

He spoke calmly in a low voice.

"Yu-Seol, are you done with the class?"

"Uh. Why?"

"I saw you in the Simulation Battle. You were amazing. And you're already leading a necro hunt at your age?"

"I'm pretty awesome, arent I?"

"It seems like you have a different way of 'thinking' than others."

Baek Yu-Seol flinched. The sharp question caught him off guard.

"Do you often have deep thoughts like that?"

"Well, I have nothing to do on weekends. And as you know, I'm a commoner, so I'm always thinking of ways to improve myself."

"I see. You spend your time very rewardingly." Saying that, Mayuseong chuckled bitterly. "I do try to make the most of my weekends."

Baek Yu-Seol seized the opportunity to ask a question that had been bothering him for a while.

"What do you usually do on weekends?"

He smiled coolly and replied, "Study."

"I see. Thank you for answering formally to my formal question."

Mayuseong was taken aback and waved his hand in the air in surprise. It was the first time Baek Yu-Seol had seen him like this.

"No, I'm serious. I actually did it. I studied... and I even started practicing."

"What? Practicing what?"

Upon hearing this, Baek Yu-Seol stared intently into his eyes, his expression growing tense.

"But... you're not really into that kind of thing, are you?"

"No, I'm not, but I've been doing it lately," he replied with a hint of hesitation.

Come to think of it, he hadn't seen Mayuseong wandering around after school as much as he used to.

"I didn't know about this myself, but I hate losing.

As expected, there was something going on.

Mayuseong probably didn't start practicing until much later, but a variable had already been introduced.

"What could that variable be?" He wondered aloud.

Eisel quickly provided an answer. "Dungeon training. Since then, he's been particularly interested in it. His competitive spirit is quite strong, isn't it?"

"That's right. If the lady hadn't intervened at the time, I wouldn't have been able to hold my head high in front of Haewonryang again. I used to tease him all the time," Mayuseong added.

<em class="chakra-text css-0">Ah, now it makes sense.

If things had gone as they normally would have, Mayuseong wouldn't have ended up fighting Haewonryang alone during the dungeon training.

Mayuseong sometimes teamed up with Edna, so even if he had to fight against Haewonryang, he could easily win 2 to 1, or he might not fight at all.

However, due to Baek Yu-Seol interfering in the dungeon training, Edna was tied up, and Mayuseong was left alone to face Haewonryang.

<em class="chakra-text css-0">Haewonryangs state seemed a bit strange, was it because of this?

If it were 2 to 1, it might have been different, but since Haewonryang, who had thoroughly prepared for a 1-on-1 battle, was defeated, he must have been mentally broken.

However, this was not a bad thing.

No, it was a very good omen.

Haewonyang, with his competitive nature, would train himself even more harshly, and the fact that Mayuseong started training a few years earlier than planned meant that they could get closer to a True Ending.

"Unlike me, who is half-baked, Mayuseong and Haewonryang are the talents who will be the focal points of the future."

If these two people could become stronger faster than expected, it would be an excellent thing.

In addition, Hong Bi-Yeon and Eisel were growing at a much faster rate compared to the original game.

This was truly a positive thing, so he could really smile.

"And Yu-Seol, I have lost to you properly, so I have been trying pretty hard lately."

"What? When did you lose to me?"

"In the last simulation battle, you were ahead of our team's score."

"Oh... was that so?"

He had no idea and wasn't paying attention.

"Thanks, I appreciate it. You've been a big help to me in many ways."

"Really..."

He couldn't quite understand what the little kid was trying to say.

"Your motivation to train is really unique. Normally, people who lose once can't hold their heads up."

"I'm not like that, but Lady seems unique. Well, you're quite unlucky."

"I've heard that a lot."

"Oh, and don't call me Miss." Eisel took a step back after saying that.

"But, Yu-Seol. Are you trying to join a club? Haven't you joined yet?"

He pointed outside the window.

It was springtime, when cherry blossoms bloomed in a pink hue and love stories of youth filled the air.

But, it was an exception for Baek Yu-Seol.

As it was the time when new students were starting to create their own clubs.

It was a unique case that people like Baek Yu-Seol and Eisel hadnt joined any club yet.

But, there was no big deal even if they joined late, as the 'club achievement project' was still far away.

Most students would join a club early to build relationships or earn points through external activities.

"Yes?"

"Then, do you want to join the same club as me? I haven't joined yet."

"What club?"

It was out of the blue.

Even in the original game, he was always alone.

Mayuseong pointed to a few bulletin boards with his finger and said, "What about Soul Chess, the mages brain sport? I like brain games. There's also a logic club and a puzzle club."

Soul Chess.

Baek Yu-Seol was once so passionate about it that he became a champion in his own way, as he had to win battles using Soul Chess to break through some of the final gates left by the Progenitor Mage.

However, if he joined a club just for that, he would not be able to go on special outings, so he made up an excuse.

"I hate sitting down and using my brain."

"What? You?"

No wonder Eisel had a disgusted expression.

Really? Then how about sports? There's soccer and basketball... Or what about 'League of Spirits'?

'League of Spirits' was a sport that represented the magical world, and it was the ultimate sport that mages who had left the battlefields dream of.

However, sports were just sports.

To prevent any incidents that might occur in the League of Spirits club, it might be worth considering joining this place later, but that was for later.

"Well, I'm thinking of joining a more productive club."

After disliking everything suggested so far, Mayuseong still didnt give up.

"What kind of club do you want? I'll match you with the one you want."

His confident tone seemed to say that he would listen to anything.

"A club that's quiet because there aren't many people; with no private meetings, guaranteed insurance coverage, cheese fried pork cutlet for lunch every day, free to do extracurricular activities, respects personal activities, and allows special outings."

Was there a club like that in the world?

Of course, there wouldn't be. It was just a joke he made.

But then...

"Really? Then... Should I create a club like that for you?"

"What?"

Baek Yu-Seols eyes widened at Mayuseongs serious proposal.
