Reincarnated as a Legendary Talent Genius of a Noble Family Episode 122

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

76. Just Grow Up Healthy

 

 

 

 

 

According to Big Sister’s explanation, mana infusion is one of the magical disciplines, with its stages subdivided in detail.

 

It’s a discipline that artifact creators must necessarily master.

 

I heard it’s quite difficult because you need to perfectly understand the properties, mana flow, and even the structure of the target you want to infuse.

 

Even within mana infusion, projecting mana onto illusions to cast magic is said to be incredibly difficult.

 

Of course, my case is slightly different in nature.

 

I didn’t infuse the illusion itself, but rather infused the generator that Big Sister made.

 

“That’s impressive in its own way.”

 

Analyzing the structure of someone else’s invention to catch the mana flow, then modifying it to cast magic on the illusions generated by the device.

 

Anyway, the result was that electricity flowed through the illusions, and Big Sister seems to view this as mana infusion.

 

“And this supposedly has little to do with ancient magic power.”

 

It’s purely my analytical ability.

 

Understanding mana flow is thanks to ancient magic power, but understanding the mana flow of inanimate objects is possible with specialized equipment.

 

So the structural modification itself is my talent.

 

This is both embarrassing and somewhat absurd.

 

Something I did casually without much thought or effort is receiving such praise from Big Sister.

 

Anyway, I’ve discovered another thing I can do well.

 

And thanks to that…

 

“Karnas. What should I do with all this?”

 

“Kyirik?”

 

“This feels like when I received toy gifts as a child.”

 

I ended up receiving a bunch of Big Sister’s inventions.

 

From inventions under development to unreleased items with freshly made prototypes.

 

These are things she gave me to play with in my spare time.

 

Big Sister doesn’t seem to intend using these for development reference. She just seemed to want to help me hone my talent.

 

“Kyirik!”

 

Rather, Karnas was showing interest, bouncing around between the inventions with curiosity.

 

He would put his nose close and sniff, then tilt his head and poke things with his mouth.

 

“Cute fellow.”

 

Watching him scurry around makes me feel warm inside.

 

Yeah, maybe it’s better that he doesn’t grow. If that’s his natural species, I can watch him like this for a long, long time, right?

 

“Kyirik?!”

 

In the midst of this, there was something Karnas showed particular interest in.

 

When I looked to see what it was, it was a ball-shaped object. The surface was soft and squishy, with a mana stone inside.

 

“Ah, it’s a portable light.”

 

Big Sister really invents all sorts of things.

 

This is one of them.

 

It’s a mana stone wrapped in some soft, squishy material, and when you give it an impact, light automatically shoots out from the mana stone.

 

According to Big Sister, it can be used portably, and when you urgently need light, you can throw it on the ground to use it.

 

“Kyirik? Kyirik!”

 

But right now, it’s Karnas’s toy.

 

Flash!

 

“Kyirik!”

 

Karnas bit it once in his mouth, then threw it away, and seeing it bounce and emit light, he was startled and fell backward.

 

After that, he approached very cautiously again, and when he poked it and saw the light color change, he was shocked.

 

“Ky, kyirik.”

 

Karnas seemed to be mustering up quite a bit of courage in his own way.

 

Come to think of it, he’s still a baby too, isn’t he?

 

Then it would be good to have at least one toy like this.

 

“Kyirik!”

 

I watched warmly as Karnas quickly adapted and played with the light ball.

 

Yeah. So what if he’s a bit small.

 

“Just grow up healthy.”

 

This must be a father’s feelings.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Midterm exams.

 

Termion’s Forge.

 

Festival.

 

And the second mana stone sale.

 

Up to the test score announcements.

 

Though all sorts of things happened in a short time, I was still a faithful Academy student.

 

“Truly… perfect spear arts.”

 

Today was a day with Spear Arts Department lectures.

 

I received high praise from Professor Ingrid after piercing five training dummies with my spear at the same point with five movements.

 

“To stab the same position with the same force in all five movements in an instant! As expected, the son of a legend…”

 

Professor Ingrid looks ready to tear up now.

 

I’m newly realizing just how amazing Father really is.

 

Not only do I receive tremendous expectations for the simple reason of being his son, but Father gets mentioned every single time.

 

I suddenly become curious.

 

What would Father have looked like when he truly displayed his skills on the battlefield?

 

I did see Father a few times in my previous life, but that was from a distance, and I never actually crossed weapons with him.

 

If I had, my reincarnation probably would have come sooner.

 

“Someday you’ll follow in the Count’s footsteps and become a legendary spear master. This is my prophecy! Though I wasn’t born with the power of stars, I can clearly see it will happen!”

 

At this point, it would be natural for students to feel uncomfortable with all the praise going to just one student, but none of the Spear Arts Department students show any such signs.

 

“As expected of Dane Sogress…”

 

“He’ll probably use Dragon Tail someday too, right?”

 

“If I could swing that just once, I’d have no regrets…”

 

“Should I go ask him to teach me some spear arts?”

 

Father is a legend.

 

An unapproachable legend at that.

 

I came to that conclusion while also feeling a strange sense of competitiveness.

 

I can’t neglect spear training either.

 

Not because I can’t bring shame to Father’s reputation, but because I want to surpass Father myself.

 

Anyway, after the lecture ended, I contacted my parents through the communication crystal.

 

-Son! Our youngest!

 

-Our Dane!

 

My parents welcomed me as enthusiastically as expected.

 

Anyone watching would think I hadn’t contacted them for a month.

 

For reference, I contacted both of them three days ago to inform them of my test results.

 

“You’re both doing well, right?”

 

-Of course! Our son is doing well… Oh my! Move aside! What are you doing pushing your face in!

 

-Ah, I want to hear our son’s voice!

 

Whether it was three days ago or today, they’re still the same.

 

As we exchanged light conversation like that, Father gave me unexpected news.

 

-Dane, it looks like this father will be going to the capital soon.

 

“The capital?”

 

He hadn’t said anything about it until three days ago.

 

-That’s right. The Academy sent a request for a special lecture, you see.

 

A special lecture request.

 

Come to think of it, I heard there was such an event.

 

They invite distinguished people among the Academy students’ parents to give special lectures.

 

-The Principal personally invited me. We already know each other, so I can’t refuse, can I?

 

A direct invitation from the Principal.

 

That must be the grandfather I saw only once on entrance day.

 

“Then you’ll be lecturing on spear techniques?”

 

-Well, spear techniques are one thing, but I’ll also give a speech to our juniors. I think I’ll go with Mom. While I’m there, I’ll visit the Academy after a long time and meet your sisters too.

 

Father added as an afterthought.

 

-Is Ingrid doing well? While I’m there, I’ll see her face once… H-Honey. Why are you looking at me like that?

 

-Ah. That woman you said you fought alongside on the battlefield?

 

-H-Honey! Lily! That was purely as comrades… Dagger! Put the dagger away!

 

The communication crystal cut off with Father’s scream.

 

“Hmm.”

 

I’m glad I contacted them where there were no people around.

 

Well, surely Mother wouldn’t actually stab him with a dagger.

 

I thought about the special lecture Father mentioned.

 

“When is he coming?”

 

Because Father unnecessarily mentioned Professor Ingrid, I couldn’t even hear when he was coming.

 

Well, I’ll find out eventually.

 

More than that, I’m happy that Father is coming.

 

Wait, then is Duke Termion coming too?

 

I happened to be heading to the club room, so I asked Leila, but she said she wasn’t sure.

 

“Hmm. Father is probably busy, isn’t he?”

 

Leila seemed a little disappointed.

 

Since the Duchess is ill, it would be hard for him to leave easily.

 

Still, I heard her condition improved for a while thanks to the medicine Delward left.

 

“So Count Sogress is coming.”

 

“Yeah. Taking the teleport gate. Big Sister will probably prepare it.”

 

“You must be incredibly happy that day?”

 

More than incredibly happy.

 

One of the people I respect most in the world is coming.

 

He said Mother is coming too, so we’ll probably be able to have a cozy family meal after a long time.

 

“But where did Ernest go?”

 

“He seemed busy lately. I thought he’d come right over from where those muscle guys are, but lately he seems to be going somewhere else.”

 

At Leila’s words, I tilted my head.

 

“Did the department give him some assignment?”

 

Then I remembered Ernest saying he was looking for a place to explore last time.

 

“Oh, right. He said he was looking for a place to explore.”

 

“A place to explore? He’s really serious about it.”

 

“As long as he doesn’t go around stirring up trouble everywhere.”

 

If he brings back something proper, then it’ll be worthwhile.

 

Like Saint Aimar’s hall, there are still quite a few unknown areas in the Academy.

 

I don’t know why such places exist in the Academy. Places that are inaccessible not only to students but even to most professors.

 

“As long as he doesn’t get caught and suspended.”

 

I shrugged without much concern.

 

Anyway, time passed like that and the special lecture day approached-

 

“Wow. What’s all this?”

 

“It’s protocol. Important people are coming.”

 

“Amazing. This is my first time seeing the Academy band?”

 

“So the music department really does exist.”

 

The speakers coming for the special lecture are all famous and distinguished people.

 

Thanks to that, the rare music department students were all mobilized to prepare the protocol at the main gate.

 

Today’s special lecture takes place in the grand hall that can accommodate all Academy students, and virtually all Academy students participate.

 

So I’m both excited and proud.

 

The person lecturing where most Academy people are watching is our Father.

 

“But what are they doing?”

 

I discovered a strange scene.

 

Father isn’t the only one coming to this special lecture.

 

Other nobles and dignitaries are coming too.

 

Many of the carriages they rode were gradually arriving near the Academy’s main gate.

 

But-

 

They stopped in front of the main gate and didn’t move any further.

 

“Are they all planning to have a parade together?”

 

When I tilted my head, Leila beside me chuckled.

 

“You’re surprisingly innocent?”

 

“Innocent?”

 

“You said you never went anywhere following Count when you were young, right?”

 

Leila pointed to several carriages waiting.

 

“Who’s more famous, those people or your father Count Sogress?”

 

In the Alteon Empire, no, even including the Drenik Empire, how many people could be more famous than our Father?

 

“That’s why they’re doing that. The hierarchy is incomparable. No one can enter until Count Sogress arrives.”

 

What a strange culture.

 

I don’t think Drenik had such things.

 

Was it because it was a battlefield?

 

“They wait for him to arrive, then enter in order. Naturally, Count Sogress goes last.”

 

Well, if that’s the culture.

 

It doesn’t look very efficient though.

 

Anyway, after a while, a familiar flag began to appear beyond the carriages lined up at the main gate.

 

“I think he’s arrived.”

 

A golden lion.

 

A snake coiled around that lion.

 

Our family.

 

The crest of the Sogress County.

 

And beneath that crest-

 

“Count Sogress looks so cool?”

 

I could see someone leading the knight order majestically at the front.

 

“Clear the way!”

 

At Sir Heidelberg’s shout, the waiting carriages turned to clear the path.

 

Aken Sogress.

 

The Empire’s war hero.

 

A legendary spearman.

 

One of the Empire’s finest Hexa-class warriors and-

 

“That’s right. He’s incredibly cool.”

 

Gone was the silly appearance he sometimes showed at home, replaced by this person overflowing with dignity and majesty.

 

He is my father, the most wonderful man in the world.
