Reincarnated as a Legendary Talent Genius of a Noble Family Episode 107

 

 

 

64. This Has a Festival Atmosphere, Doesn’t It?

 

 

The Academy’s main administration is always busy as usual.

Over a thousand Academy students, graduate students who need attention even if not as many, professors and staff, various facilities, and so on.

In such a situation, if we had to pick the busiest season, it would definitely be—

“Tomorrow is the festival.”

“Ugh, I’m dying. My back is killing me. Can’t we fix backs with magic somehow?”

“I told you it doesn’t work. If you want, go take a boat to the Eastern Island. There’s something called ‘acupuncture’ there, and they say it works wonders if you get it.”

“Take a boat for three months just to get one treatment? Ugh, I’m tired. So tired.”

As could be glimpsed from the conversation between staff members, their fatigue was almost at its peak.

The workload flooding in due to festival matters and the paperwork that came with it was no joke.

“It’s already dawn.”

“That’s right. Hmm. This festival needs to go by without any accidents.”

“As if that’s up to us?”

One staff member chuckled as he flipped through documents.

They had to check that all application documents were problem-free by today to safely proceed with the festival tomorrow.

The festival is a venue for competition between departments and clubs.

So cheating often occurs.

Accidents can’t be left out either.

‘Last time, an entire booth exploded, and the time before that, a family knight order suddenly deployed… But the all-time worst was when Claire Sogress summoned a wyvern.’

He shuddered at that terrible memory and suddenly tilted his head in confusion.

“What are these kids?”

“Huh? What do you mean?”

“These guys. The ‘Magic Summoning Exploration Creative Swordsmanship’ club.”

“What kind of club name is that?”

“Don’t you know this club? It’s the club Dane Sogress made.”

“Really?”

Another staff member asked with sparkling eyes.

“But why?”

“A club with only four members rented two locations for just one booth.”

“What?”

“Let’s see. The Southern Area of Mist Garden and… an abandoned building that’s not currently in use? Treasure hunt and house of horror?”

The staff member chuckled.

“Maybe because it was made by first-years, they’re incredibly enthusiastic. Others are busy with just one thing.”

“Usually they fail, right?”

“Right. No matter how much of a genius Sogress is, won’t this be a bit difficult this time? We can rent out locations as much as they want, but they’re all kids doing the festival for the first time.”

Then suddenly remembering the nightmares caused by those fellows bearing the Sogress surname.

Claire, who summoned a wyvern to the festival site.

Arabella, who teleported the entire plaza.

“…Just in case.”

“What?”

“Never mind, it’s nothing.”

 

 

Two days until the festival.

The Academy was filled with a festive atmosphere.

“Looks like they’re setting up a magic booth over there.”

“Seems like they’re selling something early? Are they selling food?”

“Wow, what’s with the size of that banner?”

“Are there this many booths?”

During exams, everyone had a dying atmosphere, but as the festival was about to start, the Academy was already overflowing with energy.

“The Magic Department booth area is right here! We’ll provide wonderful events and food throughout the festival period, so please participate a lot!”

“There’s a non-major swordsmanship competition hosted by the Swordsmanship Department! Winners will receive generous prizes and 1:1 mentoring tickets provided by the Swordsmanship Department!”

Promotion by each department was also active.

Our club should also promote, hmm.

Well, I have something in mind for that.

By the way, our Autonomous Department won’t be able to participate in the festival.

Because there’s only me.

For reference, Leila and Ernest said they would participate in their respective department events by making time in between.

“Booth, catch the booth! It’s falling! Hey!”

“We need to set up the supports properly!”

“Aah! It’s exploding! Run!”

Various accidents occurred in the process of preparing booths and various events, but that couldn’t stop the festival atmosphere.

We also contributed to this.

Booth and location rental completed.

Now it’s time to start decorating.

“How’s the astrology booth side?”

“Just need to get decorations and hang them up. Actually, you just need to place one impressive-looking crystal ball.”

The astrology booth side that Priscilla was in charge of had no problems at all. Priscilla showed the crystal ball.

“How is it? Killer, right?”

Inside the crystal ball the size of a human head, purple smoke was swirling.

There were also star-like twinkling things inside, and when Priscilla gently rubbed it with her hand, the stars swam through the smoke.

“Oh. It looks impressive.”

“That’s what I’m saying. First, grab attention with this! Then lower your voice and ask ‘What are you curious about?’ and you’re done.”

Priscilla then whispered a tip.

“And when couples come, right? Then as soon as they sit down, you say this: ‘One side… lacks faith…’ Then the atmosphere gets really cold, and if you provide a solution there…”

“…”

Why did this kid go to the Theology Department?

“Come get your fortune told later too. I’ll read it amazingly well for you. Love, money, future. I can know it all, you know?”

“But is that real?”

“Originally, if you believe in these things, they become real, and if you don’t believe, they’re just nonsense, right?”

A wise answer to a foolish question.

“God is the same way.”

This is blasphemy.

I took a step back.

“Huh? Why?”

“I’m afraid divine punishment might strike.”

Priscilla shook her head as if she found it absurd.

“By the way, I wonder if the treasure hunt and house of horror are going well?”

“The treasure hunt is being worked on now, and for the house of horror, I’m thinking about what traps to set up.”

“But how are you going to decorate the treasure hunt?”

Then I heard a voice calling me from far away.

“Dane Sogress, sir!”

I chuckled and pointed at the muscle masses running toward us.

“With those guys.”

We have excellent labor force available.

After losing their club room, I made them a workout space in the sewers, and these guys swore their loyalty.

“Teacher! We just finished setting up the treasure hunt with member Ernest!”

These are the (former) Bodybuilding Club guys.

They’re officially disbanded now.

Their goal is to reform as an official club again next year.

In that sense, they had nothing to do at this year’s festa, so they volunteered to help us.

“Oh. Good work. Did you hide the treasure well?”

“We hid it thoroughly according to member Ernest’s instructions!”

“Good.”

“Is there anything else you’d like us to do?”

“There is. The House of Horror.”

“Just give us the word and we’ll do our absolute best to help!”

The guys were sweating profusely.

Their muscles glistening all the while.

Maybe muscles…

Might not be so bad after all?

“Um, th-that, but who is this lovely lady beside you…?”

“Ah.”

Come to think of it, this would be their first time seeing Priscilla.

“This is Priscilla Neriel. Same club.”

“It’s our first time meeting you!”

“How do you do!”

Look at these guys.

They can’t get their heads straight.

“Ah, the Bodybuilding Club? Right?”

Priscilla whispered to me.

“How did these idiots end up being so respectfully loyal to you?”

“There are some circumstances behind it. Use them if you need to.”

“Oh, really?”

Priscilla stroked her chin.

“Hmm… I actually needed one booth assistant…”

“I’ll do it!”

“Club President! What are you saying! That’s too hard for you, Club President! I’ll do it instead!”

“What are you talking about! I should do it! Actually, I didn’t do any work earlier!”

Perfect timing.

Guys volunteering to provide dedicated labor.

“Mm. You’ll do nicely.”

“Thank you!”

It looked somewhat like picking slaves, which was pretty funny, but the person in question was absolutely beaming.

“Then I’m going?”

“Yeah. Work him gently.”

“Alright. Let’s go. But what’s your name?”

“My, my name is…”

Watching Priscilla and muscle mass No. 1 leave, the remaining Nos. 2, 3, 4, and 5 were extremely envious.

“Da-damn… I’m jealous of the Club President.”

For reference, No. 1 is Club President Dorian Artak.

“I’m actually a specialist at assisting… I’m good at helping with equipment too…”

“I could do well too! Damn it!”

Unfortunately, you guys are in charge of the House of Horror.

“I suddenly feel like my motivation is disappearing…”

“I feel a bit tired too…”

Just moments ago they were begging to be given tasks, now their voices sound half-dead.

Wooong.

Just then my crystal orb rang.

“Oh, Sister.”

It was Big Sister.

-Dane, where are you now? You’re near the plaza, right?

“Yeah. Did you just arrive?”

-Right now… Found you!

And then I heard Big Sister’s voice.

“Dane!”

I waved back at her waving figure, and Big Sister soon arrived and hugged me.

“Did you wait long? My goodness, you seem to have grown taller in just a few days.”

“What do you mean taller in a few days. I’m the same. You look tired though?”

“Ah. Because of research yesterday. It’s fine. I can take a nap later.”

How pitiful.

It’s work she likes doing, but I didn’t know she’d be this tired every time.

“Oh right, so. Where are you doing the House of Horror?”

“5 minutes from here. I rented an abandoned building.”

“Good job. That’s much better than half-heartedly decorating a club room. I’ll set it up amazingly today.”

For reference, Big Sister came to help me today.

Since Big Sister also spent her school days at the Academy, she knows the festa inside and out.

Well, I heard she once teleported the entire Central Plaza and connected it to some remote wilderness, causing chaos…

Anyway, she’s too busy to help during the festa period, so she came to help with the preliminary preparations like this.

“But who are these friends here?”

“Ah. This is…”

Then I heard a vigorous voice from beside us.

“How do you do!”

“Hello! I am…”

These guys are ridiculous.

They were sparkling their eyes even more than when they saw Priscilla earlier.

“Nice to meet you all. You’re our youngest’s friends?”

“Y-yes! Teacher Dane… no, we’re very close with Dane!”

“Is that so? I’m Dane’s Big Sister. Arabella Sogress. You’ve heard my name, right?”

“Of course! The greatest mage in Academy history!”

“Oh my, the greatest in history.”

They’re having a good time.

“But you all have solid muscles?”

Big Sister smiled dangerously.

“You look like you’re good with strength.”

They’re truly the best manpower for manual labor.

“Just leave it to us and we’ll do whatever you tell us to do!”

“Me too!”

“You can work us like servants!”

“We can lift any heavy load!”

Look at that enthusiasm.

Where did those half-dead voices from just moments ago go.

Well, thanks to that, the work will proceed smoothly.

“Where did you get kids like these? They look like they can handle heavy work well? I was just worrying about how to move the mana stones for the magic field.”

“Right? You can make them do all sorts of things.”

“Sounds good. If we do this right, we might finish early.”

Big Sister also seems satisfied.

“Did you prepare the traps?”

“Yeah. I made a list with my dormitory friend for now. The crafting shouldn’t take too long.”

“Okay. Just in case, I brought a few more illusion generators, so make good use of them. You know how to use them, right?”

“Of course.”

Illusion generators.

Items that Priscilla uses well, and will also be used in this House of Horror.

The quality of the illusions is incomparably better than other items, so while they lack physical substance, they should be able to produce tremendous effects.

“Then let’s go set things up. Installing and activating the magic field takes some time, so we should start with that first.”

“Good. Then I’ll check out the trap installation points in the meantime.”

“What about your friend? Didn’t you say Leila would be there too?”

“Ah. She went to buy decorations right now. We agreed to meet there.”

“I’ve been wanting to see her anyway, so that works out well. Oh my, our youngest. Now you’re all grown up and preparing festivals too.”

I have a feeling that even when I get older, I’ll always be the eternal baby to Big Sister.

“Well then, our muscle friends, shall we go?”

As Big Sister spoke to start departing, Muscle 2, 3, 4, and 5 jumped out without anyone taking the lead.

“Yes! We’ll lead the way!”

“I’ll stand at the very front!”

“What are you talking about! I’m going first!”

“Ah! Since the Club President isn’t here, I’m the Vice President so I go first!”

Good enthusiasm.

At this rate, the preparations will be done in no time.

Astrology event.

Treasure hunt event.

And here, the House of Horror event.

This is really starting to feel like a festival, isn’t it?
