Reincarnated as a Legendary Talent Genius of a Noble Family Episode 116

 

 

 

71. Don’t Touch My Student

 

 

The aftermath of this Academy Festival was considerable.

First, the serious cheating scandal of the Academy Swordsmanship Club, which had claimed first place in the club division every year, became a major issue.

 

[Academy Swordsmanship Club, Lost Fairness in Obsession with First Place!]

[Academy Swordsmanship Club, What Were They Afraid Of?]

[Academy Swordsmanship Club President, “Nothing to Say” and Plays Dumb]

[Swordsmanship Club Official, “Honestly, I Saw This Coming” and Clicks Tongue]

 

The Academy Daily, which reports all incidents within the Academy, didn’t miss this story.

The fact that such an incident occurred during a Festival already full of talking points was tremendous fodder.

Thanks to this, the Academy Swordsmanship Club was branded as the axis of evil.

The Swordsmanship Department, along with the Magic Department, was already the most powerful department in the Academy.

Therefore, some students had been acting up relying only on their department’s backing, gradually worsening their image, and this incident became the breaking point.

“I never liked those Swordsmanship Department guys from the start!”

“What’s so disappointing that they’d try to ruin a new club’s event?”

“Really petty, so petty. Bad guys. Always picking fights!”

Conrad, who was the department’s pride and rumored to be scheduled for Imperial Knight Order admission after graduation, became public enemy number one.

As division began and the existing system started shaking within the Swordsmanship Department, such exposés also emerged.

 

[“Everything Was the President’s Orders” Swordsmanship Club Official Exposes Internal Instructions!]

[“The Club is a Place Where the President Reigns Like a King”]

 

Conrad had been running the club oppressively, and not wanting to lose first place, he finally caused such an incident.

Thanks to this, Conrad’s resignation from the club president position was being discussed, and additionally, his removal from the current Practical Swordsmanship Association president position was carried out swiftly.

People cried out.

That it was justice’s victory.

Thanks to this, Swordsmanship Department students could no longer walk around with their heads held high—

Meanwhile, the Magic Summoning Exploration Spear Swordsmanship (Romance) Club was revered.

“What kind of name is that?”

“They made it strangely. Is the president in their right mind?”

“Still, they conscientiously added ‘romance’ at the end.”

Though there were comments that the name was a bit strange, what did it matter.

Dane’s club was truly a rebellion.

They had changed the Festival structure that the Academy Swordsmanship Club had effectively dominated and won first place in every year.

Not simply because they brought them down.

“I found the treasure hunt really fun. It wasn’t just finding things, but solving codes and tracking traces while deducing—it was really exciting!”

“And what about the House of Horror? The horror was amazing, really.”

“The astrology was really fascinating too. I heard they brought a very skilled fortune teller?”

Each event they held received favorable reviews, to the point where people said they would have won first place even if the Academy Swordsmanship Club hadn’t interfered.

Perhaps thanks to this, the Magic Summoning Exploration Spear Swordsmanship (Romance) Club’s success was even mentioned in the professors’ regular meeting.

“There’s a lot of talk about the Festival lately. Isn’t that right, teachers?”

The Magic Department head.

When Professor Denabo mentioned the Festival in passing near the end of the regular meeting, the Swordsmanship Department head, Professor Esterande, cleared his throat.

“Ahem, ahem.”

“From what I hear, some club used some method to do something very shameful… This is really, the Festival must be quite important to the students.”

“That’s right.”

When the Summoning Department head, Professor Delfineso, agreed with a pleased expression, Professor Esterande’s throat clearing became more severe.

“How can this be acceptable? Always talking about overthrowing the Magic Department… A student rumored to be as talented as Conrad giving such instructions behind the scenes.”

Thanks to this, Professor Esteranza had no choice but to hastily interrupt.

“We’re, we’re investigating. There are contents different from what was reported in the Academy Daily, and we plan to investigate internally and correct any wrongdoings if found.”

“I wonder if self-purification will work. I heard there were such talks before too.”

“Refrain from hasty speculation, Professor Denabo!”

Professor Esteranza, unable to bear it anymore, got angry, but Professor Denabo grinned as if he’d caught something good.

“Speculation, you say, Professor Esteranza. I heard there are witnesses and evidence too. I wonder what a ‘major department’ like the Swordsmanship Department was afraid of to do such things.”

“Th, this…”

The fact that the Magic Department and Swordsmanship Department were rivals was known to everyone at the Academy.

Though the Magic Department’s power was traditionally greater, the Swordsmanship Department’s influence had been growing through wars, and recently it had come to greatly threaten the Magic Department.

Having caught them in the act, how could Professor Denabo hold back.

‘I should press them down hard this time so they can’t even speak throughout the entire regular meeting.’

It was a kind of power struggle, if you could call it that.

Perhaps it was the vitality of boring professorial life.

There was also a matter of face.

Thanks to this, Professor Esteranza couldn’t even lift his head, overwhelmed by shame, humiliation, and disgrace.

‘When will this damn regular meeting end?’

If he could, he wanted to drag that Conrad fellow here right now, make him kneel, and force him to apologize.

From his perspective, he had been hit by an arrow out of nowhere.

“So this is what regular meetings were like.”

In the midst of this, an unexpected person spoke up.

It was none other than Keltas Redfield, the sole professor of the Autonomous Department.

“You kept nagging me to attend, so I came, and what an enjoyable sight this is.”

Everyone’s attention focused on Professor Keltas’s words.

For reference, this was his first attendance at a regular meeting in a very long time since becoming a professor, and also his first statement at this meeting.

“Well now, I was curious and came because I heard you handle important Academy matters here.”

Professor Keltas continued speaking, not caring about the other professors’ gazes.

“Isn’t this just a place where departments fight each other?”

“…”

Everyone looked uncomfortable at his direct words.

Of course, Professor Keltas, who didn’t even listen when told to attend regular meetings, wasn’t one to talk, but at least no one could refute those words.

“Since we’re at it, let me join in slightly and say just one thing.”

Professor Keltas made eye contact with each and every professor before opening his mouth.

“Don’t touch my student.”

At those words tinged with eeriness, everyone momentarily felt a bone-chilling cold.

“Whether it’s the Swordsmanship Department, the Magic Department, or… even the Summoning Department. It would be best not to touch my disciple.”

Professor Esteranza flinched for a moment.

Disciple?

Of course, students studying under professors are called disciples.

But the ‘disciple’ Professor Keltas was talking about seemed to have a slightly different meaning.

‘No way. That man?’

Former Imperial Knight Order Commander.

One of the Empire’s top Hexa-class knights.

But more famous for not taking disciples.

Such a person?

“Professor Keltas. Is that the meaning of ‘disciple’ that I’m thinking of?”

Professor Esteranza’s words made Professor Keltas nod his head.

“I’m personally teaching him my swordsmanship, so yes.”

“…!”

This would be shocking news if the knights knew.

Good heavens.

That picky gentleman actually took on a disciple.

‘Just how much swordsmanship talent does that fellow Dane have?’

In the midst of this, Professor Delfineso suddenly asked.

“Professor Keltas, but what does that mean? Are you saying the undergraduate professors here told you to do something to Dane?”

Professor Keltas tilted his head.

“It’s not just about that, Professor Delfineso. It’s not about telling me what to do, but also includes bothering a student who’s living peacefully.”

“….”

“You know, don’t you? How tremendous that fellow’s talent is. Of course, he shows the most outstanding talent in swordsmanship.”

He slowly stood up and added.

“It was an interesting meeting. Well then, I’ll take my leave first.”

Creak.

The door opened and Professor Keltas left the conference room, leaving the other professors with no choice but to stare blankly at the door for a while.

Truly—

Like professor, like student.

 

 

Lacktail Building, where the club rooms are gathered, is always full.

The fact that we were able to get a club room was actually incredibly lucky.

It happened because they disbanded clubs that only maintained paperwork this year and kicked out places that meaninglessly occupied rooms.

Anyway, once you get a club room, there’s not much way to change it.

The only methods are trading between clubs, or getting really lucky when an empty room appears and quickly claiming it.

But there’s just one thing.

There is a way to change club rooms.

And whenever you want.

That’s the ‘Club Room Exchange Ticket’ we earned by taking first place in the club division.

“Is this really our club room?”

“Yeah. This is it.”

I looked at the spacious club room that had been completely emptied and grinned, curling up the corners of my mouth.

Compared to Room 506, it was truly a complete transformation.

It’s almost as wide as a training ground.

“So this is one of only two rooms like this in Lacktail Building….”

The other guys also exclaimed in admiration repeatedly.

Perhaps because the Swordsmanship Society club guys had completely emptied the room, it looked even more spacious.

Of course, even if we brought the furniture we used in Room 506, this room would still look spacious.

“Customer, where should we put this?”

“Please put it there. Yes yes. This way.”

By the way, we quickly called the staff from ‘Ellebor’ to move the furniture.

They skillfully disassembled the furniture, quickly moved it up to the 15th floor, and were now reassembling and rearranging it.

On the other hand—

“I took a quick look, and there’s a pile of stuff in the corridor. They seem to not know what to do.”

The Swordsmanship Society club guys seem to be in a truly desperate state.

Well, they took the furniture that filled every corner of this spacious room to that narrow room.

“At that point, won’t they just not use it at all?”

“That’s what those guys would do. There’s a high probability they’ll use somewhere other than Lacktail Building as a substitute for their club room, right?”

Well, that’s for them to figure out.

We can now spend at least a year comfortably in this place.

Of course, I’m confident that our club will still be using this place after 1 year, 2 years, and even 3 years.

“Leila, let’s go furniture shopping soon.”

“I was wondering when you’d bring that up. Since there are many rooms here, should we each decorate our own room?”

“Sounds good. We can buy nice things within our operating budget.”

By the way, our operating budget is the 180 Crown gold coins we just received from the Swordsmanship Society club guys.

While we’re at it, we plan to keep books too.

Of course, not everything will be written in the books.

“Now we don’t have to worry about money.”

Plus the profits from selling mana stones through Sidrain.

We agreed to contact each other after the festival, so I’ll probably have to entrust sales to that Magic Tower Master again soon.

“Money was never a worry anyway.”

“Still, it’s better than asking home for money, right?”

“That’s true.”

Leila seems genuinely happy.

Or maybe she’s just pretending to be happy.

Since we’ve made enemies with the undergraduate seniors, her mind probably isn’t completely at peace right now.

But I’m confident.

That Leila will overcome this.

And now there probably won’t be anyone who’ll mess with us, but if anyone does, our club won’t stand for it.

“What were the prizes again? The ones we received as festival prizes.”

At Priscilla’s question, I opened my subspace and laid out all the prizes.

There were quite a lot of prizes.

From artifacts to meal tickets, and even securities that could only be used at the Academy shop.

Excluding things we didn’t need right away, we divided everything fairly among the four of us.

“I never knew school life could be this abundant.”

“Tell me about it.”

Ernest, who doesn’t receive allowance from his family, is grinning from ear to ear.

“Kyiruk! Kyiruuk!”

In the midst of this, Karnas, who popped out of my arms with a poof, was also very happy.

Flap!

“Oh.”

This fellow is now flying quite well.

His wing flapping is more vigorous than before.

“Kyiruk!”

Karnas flapped his wings to get up onto the workbench, then lifted his head with an expression trying very hard to look dignified.

“He seems to want praise.”

“Then we should give it to him.”

At Leila’s words, I quickly approached and stroked the fellow’s neck.

“Oh, Karnas flew up! Amazing as always!”

“Kyiruk!”

Ernest also came over and praised him.

But Ernest, who had been watching Karnas intently, suddenly brought up something unexpected.

“But Dane, you said this guy is a dragon, right?”

“Yeah.”

“I don’t know much about it, but do dragons normally grow this slowly?”

I furrowed my brow at those words.

“What do you mean by that?”
