Chapter 170

An extraordinary spectacle was unfolding in the newly prepared classroom of the Crown Prince Palace.
“What is this?”
“‘Knowledge must be accumulated and wisdom must be transmitted.'”
“This too?”
“‘This is the testament left by the god of knowledge and wisdom, the truth that Roland followed, and now the value we must uphold and cherish.'”
“And this sentence?!”
“‘To inherit and transmit to humanity the gift that Roland, both mage and scholar, left for the world. That is the mission Roland Academy follows.'”
“This one?”
“‘God of knowledge and wisdom, we beseech your blessing upon us.'”
Milliurt, the Crown Prince’s language professor who taught basic foreign languages, felt his eyes waver intensely.
The sentences Arelin had read off so effortlessly were all actual phrases used in the entrance examination of Roland Academy, the world’s finest institution of learning.
‘The academy’s rigorous test filters out the unworthy with the sole intention of teaching only the greatest scholars—and a seven-year-old just passed it?’
The academy’s founding principles were written in twelve different languages total.
‘And she read every word accurately, even the ones that changed meaning over time.’
Professor Milliurt felt a shiver run down his spine.
“Could you read it in the continental common language?”
Arelin tilted her head, but soon nodded and read fluently.
“Knowledge must be accumulated and…”
The other children’s eyes changed as they heard the meaning of the sentences Arelin had been reading aloud.
“Whoa.”
“How do you read it like that?”
“It’s hard.”
“Tch, I could do that much too.”
Watching the other children, who couldn’t even grasp the level of what Arelin was doing, Milliurt confirmed that his intuition had not been wrong.
‘A genius. A language genius.’
It wasn’t merely competence. She possessed perfect comprehension of foreign languages.
When she answered in a foreign tongue, her pronunciation and intonation were as natural as if she were speaking her native language.
By any measure, this was far beyond simply having memorized sentences by rote.
Milliurt knew of only one genius at this level.
A legendary prodigy who had rejected even the offer of tenure at Roland Academy and returned to his homeland!
‘Mehren Leborgne.’
He had wondered why such a genius—bound by the duty to broaden the foundations of knowledge—would rot away in a place like this.
So he was nurturing a new genius here instead!
“You are truly magnificent. Absolutely brilliant.”
It had been a petty move, sighed openly during his own class and tinged with old rivalry toward Mehren, who had once been his equal. But though it was his own defeat, Milliurt now wore a satisfied smile.
“……?”
Arelin flinched at the professor’s intense gaze of recognition.

I’d even received permission not to attend basic foreign language classes since there was nothing left for me to learn there.
“Ooooooo.”
“Woooooow.”
I felt my shoulders rise under the twins’ admiring gazes.
“Arelin is so smart!”
“A genius?”
It was all thanks to the Language of Babel language patch or whatever it was.
“But what were you talking about with the teacher?”
“Yeah, the teacher grabbed you after class.”
“Oh, that.”
It was nothing much.
“He asked me to become his disciple.”
“……?”
The twins exchanged glances.
“So you’re doing it?”
“No?”
My nose was two feet long—what could I even do?
When I shook my head, Fession visibly relaxed.
“Thank goodness.”
“What’s thankful about that?”
“I thought you were leaving me.”
“……Why would I leave you over that?”
In that brief moment, Fession must have already imagined me going abroad to study, because his face was deeply creased with worry.
‘Ah, honestly.’
I was hopeless—finding even this endearing.
“If I go to study, I won’t just disappear. If I go anywhere, I’ll take you with me.”
I couldn’t help but laugh at Fession’s determined resolve to secure my promise.
I always wondered: what on earth does Fession find in me?
‘I really don’t understand it.’
What about me is worth liking?
“Why are you looking at me like that? You won’t promise?”
“What promise?”
“That you won’t go study alone.”
Fession held out his pinky finger. His solemn expression, as if concluding some grand contract, made me laugh again.
“It seems Arelin just loves looking at the Crown Prince’s face.”
“Right. Always in their own little world.”
I heard the twins muttering beside me, but my eyes were only for Fession.
“I promise. I won’t go study alone.”
When I linked my pinky with his, Fession’s expression finally brightened.
“Promise with me too!”
“Me too!”
The twins didn’t miss the momentary opening and pounced. For some reason, Harun got swept up in it too, and I linked pinkies and made promises with them as well.
This much was easy enough.
“So let’s go play a board game now!”
“Hehe. I brought the legendary hit—My Landmark Construction!”
“The winner gets to decide the last-place penalty! How’s that?”
I grinned at the twins’ suggestion.
“Oho, that sounds fun. Let’s definitely do it.”

The difference was that My Landmark Construction was limited to the Albrecht Empire, and the house names each player received were modeled after the Five Great Duchy Houses—names like Sperom, Halberom, Gremwatson, Editickel, and Mobisk.
Beyond that, each house started with different initial funds and merit benefits.
For example, Sperom started with twice the capital of other players.
“Ah! Your Highness took my land again!”
Halberom could use three Weakness Cards as an initial merit to freely acquire landmarks without having to construct them.
“Hahahaha.”
The merit I drew for Gremwatson was the ability to roll the dice three times, and if I hit jackpot, I could construct a landmark for free.
“Wait, isn’t that cheating, Arelin?”
“How are you building landmarks for free all three times?!”
“How is this even possible?!”
Whether the twins were shouting or not, the victor was me.
“Come on, step on my lands and go bankrupt.”
“Ugh. The pride of Sperom is…”
Our game caught the attention of passing members of the Childcare Unit, drew the interest of the gambling-obsessed Saren Knights, and even pulled in the Regent Duke himself, who had been wondering all day how to approach me.
“Ahhhhh! No! My money!”
Noel was the first to step on my lands and go bankrupt.
“Damn. This is pathetic. I can’t die like this.”
“Yep. See you!”
Next was Ciel who went bankrupt.
“…….”
And in the meantime, Harun silently perished after stepping on Fession’s lands.
“Hehe.”
“……?”
Fession, the last to survive, looked at me with sparkling eyes before collapsing.
“Ah, I’m bankrupt.”
“…….”
It was suspicious that Fession had gone bankrupt, but in any case, victory was mine.
“Ooh, our young lady is the best!”
“Congratulations, young lady!”
The Childcare Unit, who had been watching this match(?) in hushed reverence, began to applaud.
“Hmm. How impressive…”
“Hooray! Our young lady is the greatest!”
The Regent Duke’s words were swallowed up by Rena’s exuberance—let’s just skip over that unfortunate fellow.
“See? I told you I’d win? Our young lady is the best!”
“Damn, they actually won.”
“Hell, I thought the Sperom twins would take it.”
Let’s move past those foolish adults too.
“Sigh.”

“Wow, how cute!”
“What are these ears?!”
All eyes turned in an instant.
“Today we have a rabbit, meow~!”
“Twin rabbits, meow~!”
Yet the twins enjoyed every moment of the attention.
Do they have no sense of shame?
I had wanted to see them squirm with embarrassment, but I’d picked the wrong target. If it had been Harun, it would have been the perfect scene.
“……?”
At my gaze, Harun tilted his head in confusion, then suddenly shuddered.
Relax. I’m not going to eat you.
Fession laughed cheerfully and wedged himself between Harun and me, separating us.
“But why are they saying ‘meow’ when they’re rabbits? Do you know, Arelin?”
“I don’t know either.”
With the twins looking like outright angels with those rabbit ears, they were an instant sensation.
They were cute, I’ll admit that.
Then Chloe approached the twins.
“Want me to make the rabbit ears move?”
“Ooh, how?”
When Chloe chanted a spell, the rabbit ears on the twins’ heads twitched to life.
“Ooooooh!”
Everyone gasped in wonder at the rabbit ears moving as if they were actually alive, ears perking up naturally.
“……?”
For a moment, my eyes met Chloe’s.
Was it my imagination?
When I tilted my head, Chloe walked over and stood in front of me.
“Hi there?”
