Reincarnated as a Legendary Talent Genius of a Noble Family Episode 130

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

83. There’s a Problem

 

 

 

 

 

Magic Analysis is literally analyzing mana.

 

And that analysis applies to everything related to mana.

 

The structure and flow of mana, its intensity, speculating about the user of this mana, and in the case of ‘magic’, you can even understand its code.

 

For example, when analyzing some artifact containing mana—

 

You can analyze the intensity and flow of mana flowing through that artifact, and even the ‘code’ of the magic contained in that artifact.

 

In this case, it’s Saul Hanston’s essence.

 

His mana compressed to an incredible degree.

 

If it weren’t for my Ancient Mana, I can’t even imagine how I would have extracted and stabilized it.

 

“This is an incredible thing. As expected of Saul Hanston. But to think you stabilized this in sphere form like this. My Little Brother, you’ve already mastered ‘Extraction’ properly, haven’t you?”

 

“Really?”

 

“Yeah. This ‘Extraction’ is actually harder than ‘Analysis’. Amazing, right? You’ve already accomplished what others find difficult.”

 

Ancient Mana aside, in this case it’s thanks to my sense and talent, she says.

 

“Now, first you put the Mana Stone that Dane made into this analyzer. Since it’s something like Saul Hanston’s essence, ordinary Mana Stones wouldn’t work, right?”

 

Big Sister slipped the Special Magic Stone I made into the analyzer, then placed her hand on the Mana Infusion port.

 

“Come here and try infusing mana.”

 

“Okay.”

 

Magic Analyzer.

 

Originally an item that costs at least several thousand Crowns each.

 

But Big Sister is making and using this herself.

 

Simply put, this is also custom-made.

 

“Now. Before we start, think about it in advance. What result do you want to derive through this analysis? In this case, we need to read the overall ‘information’ of this mana, right?”

 

“Yeah. That’s right. But Sister, if you can read the overall information of mana like this, don’t most mages leave behind ‘essences’?”

 

“Yeah. Since there’s a risk of leakage, they usually transmit Secret Magic to their successors. When mages’ mana leaks outside, it immediately optimizes so you can’t guess who the user is, but in the case of ‘essence’ like this that’s extracted and arranged directly from the body, you can make guesses just by analyzing it.”

 

The reason information about Saul Hanston’s magic isn’t known.

 

Although Saul Hanston went around using magic everywhere, those traces can only confirm a ‘feeling’ and can’t be clear evidence.

 

Therefore, Saul Hanston’s essence obtained like this now is incredibly important evidence.

 

“Then if we analyze this mana, we can see the Magic Code that Saul Hanston used with this mana, and maybe even….”

 

“We can know his Secret Magic too. Of course, we won’t be able to know everything. Maybe we can only know part of the code. But even that alone would be an incredible harvest.”

 

I nodded.

 

Saul Hanston’s Secret Magic.

 

I don’t know what it is exactly, but it’s definitely going to be incredible magic.

 

Even if not Secret Magic, the various magics he used during his lifetime are still shrouded in mystery.

 

For instance, building design methods that don’t develop a single crack even after standing for a long time.

 

If we get even one thing, it would be an incredible gain.

 

“Now, stand here. Shall we begin in earnest?”

 

“Good.”

 

And so Big Sister’s Magic Analysis lesson began.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Naturally, Magic Analysis isn’t something where you just touch it and poof, results come out.

 

That was Big Sister’s initial explanation.

 

However, visible results were already appearing one by one.

 

“Oh, components are starting to come out one by one. It’s incredibly fast, Dane?”

 

It was just one day of analysis.

 

“Even though it’s your first time learning, to be able to do this after seeing it once… Dane, want to become an inventor with Sister later?”

 

I burst into laughter at those words.

 

“I don’t have Sister’s level of creativity.”

 

It’s true. I can’t match Big Sister’s creativity in invention. Every time I see her inventions, I can only admire them.

 

“Come on, how could that be? If you try learning, who knows? This Sister hopes our Dane would learn magic as his ‘main focus’.”

 

Unfortunately, that’s not possible right now.

 

Still, I felt bad about disappointing Sister, so I brushed it off with a laugh and focused on the analysis results.

 

“For now… the components seem to have come out like this?”

 

“Let me see. Hmm. As I felt before, Saul Hanston’s mana is definitely different. Of course, it’s not like the Ancient Mana that Dane has, but… it’s really fascinating. When you analyze ordinary mages’ mana, you absolutely don’t get results like this.”

 

It’s definitely clear that it’s different, whatever the difference is.

 

Well, that’s why he’s still revered as a legendary mage to this day.

 

On the other hand, I still have doubts.

 

Why did he bother to leave behind such an essence?

 

Because he regretted not being able to leave a successor?

 

“Hmm… maybe it’s the peculiar nastiness typical of mages?”

 

“Nastiness?”

 

To my question, Big Sister answered ‘nastiness’.

 

“In any field, there are bound to be crazy people. Saul Hanston might be one of those. There are so many nasty-tempered mages in the world. We know that well too, don’t we?”

 

I burst into laughter thinking of Professor Denabo.

 

Big Sister probably thinks the same, right?

 

“But… this is going to take a long time, isn’t it?”

 

In the midst of this, Big Sister looked at the initially derived results with a disappointed expression.

 

“It seems to be because it’s different from other mana. Hmm… it’s full of types I’ve never seen before, so it won’t be easy.”

 

I also examined the results sheet.

 

According to Big Sister’s subsequent explanation, Saul Hanston’s mana is completely different from the mana composition of ordinary mages.

 

“Of course, it’s different from yours too, Dane.”

 

“Anyway, he was definitely an amazing person, right?”

 

I said while examining the results sheet.

 

Then there were parts that strangely caught my eye.

 

Parts where no results came out at all.

 

“Why didn’t anything come out here?”

 

“Ah, that seems to be blocked by something. It’s like a kind of barrier, and that’s why I said it would take a long time.”

 

A barrier.

 

If that’s the case, didn’t we already break through one when extracting the essence from the Mana Stone?

 

I approached Saul Hanston’s essence and this time placed my hand directly on it.

 

“It doesn’t seem like it would be as difficult as expected.”

 

“Huh?”

 

Big Sister looked at me asking what I meant, and in the meantime I released my mana wrapped around the essence and immediately flowed mana into it.

 

“Don’t tell me… Dane, are you doing ‘Direct Analysis’ right now?”

 

“What’s that?”

 

From Big Sister’s reaction, it’s definitely something amazing.

 

“This is impossible… It’s already amazing to do Indirect Analysis with equipment right after learning, but how can you do direct….”

 

Roughly inferring, ‘Direct Analysis’ seems to mean analyzing by having the user directly contact the mana without using equipment.

 

‘Indirect Analysis’ is the opposite.

 

But I felt there were limits to going through equipment.

 

So I placed my hand and started rummaging through every corner while flowing my mana into it.

 

“Above all, ‘Direct Analysis’ is… an intuitive and reliable method, but it’s too dangerous. You’re directly contacting unknown mana, and the amount of information you need to grasp increases dramatically. On top of that, to be able to do it while infusing mana in real time… you might be the only one who can do it, Dane?”

 

That amazing, huh.

 

“Ancient mana is ancient mana, but what’s important is the technique of the person using it.”

 

I didn’t hide my smile at Big Sister’s praise.

 

“Hmm….”

 

But this feeling is strange.

 

“Does it feel weird? Then you should stop right away! ‘Direct Analysis’ is originally quite dangerous. Of course, since it’s you, Dane, it might be different….”

 

It’s not particularly dangerous.

 

Saul Hanston’s mana was interfering with my mana’s entry, but I easily ignored it.

 

Because it’s ancient mana.

 

And then, it starts to catch.

 

“I can see the code.”

 

A clue about Saul Hanston.

 

“Really?”

 

“Yeah. But it doesn’t seem to be everything.”

 

This essence definitely contains information about Saul Hanston.

 

But it seems partial.

 

Because it wasn’t the complete formula of the code.

 

“I can’t figure out anything right away with this.”

 

“Even that alone is an incredible harvest!”

 

Big Sister was beside herself with joy.

 

From a mage’s perspective, this was tremendous.

 

“Phew.”

 

For now, I extracted only part of the code, then quickly transcribed that code into runic script.

 

And looking at the code, I could definitely tell that the arrangement itself was different from ordinary magic.

 

I wonder what it could be.

 

The identity of this code that Saul Hanston created.

 

And what kind of person was Saul Hanston.

 

“This is it.”

 

When I handed Big Sister the code written in runic script, she showed the same reaction.

 

“Dane… you really are a genius. I couldn’t even dare attempt this. It’s completely different. From ordinary magic.”

 

“It’s thanks to the ancient mana.”

 

At my modesty, Big Sister seriously shook her head.

 

“No. Even if you possess ancient mana, analyzing with it like this is a different matter. Maybe you would have succeeded even if you had ordinary mana, Dane.”

 

If you say so.

 

“Thanks.”

 

“Thanks to this, I can start analyzing the code right away. I’ll have to compare it with existing magic first. But what should I do with Saul Hanston’s mana contained in the essence….”

 

“Can’t you make an artifact with that?”

 

“I can make one, but if someone who knows appears, we’ll be caught immediately. Sales would be impossible.”

 

I never thought about sales in the first place.

 

“Then just make a few. For our use only.”

 

“That’s good. With your ancient mana, Dane, making artifacts would be difficult, but that’s possible.”

 

By the way, I’ve tried making artifacts with my mana before.

 

But what do you know.

 

Big Sister couldn’t handle it at all.

 

With existing equipment, it was possible to judge the presence of ancient mana through speculation, but utilizing it was a different matter.

 

Later, when I find traces of Arcana, should I look for something there?

 

“Is there anything you want?”

 

“I’ll ask my friends once.”

 

“Good. Just say the word. Since our youngest is asking, I’ll do anything.”

 

I smiled and added.

 

“Sister can take the rest.”

 

“Really?”

 

“Yeah. That’s enough for us.”

 

I already extracted part of the code anyway.

 

I can’t do anything with this right now, but someday I’ll be able to find the rest of the code.

 

Plus the artifacts.

 

So I have no further greed.

 

Rather, this essence would be of greater help to Big Sister, who’s an inventor.

 

It would be difficult to use this essence’s mana directly, but Big Sister would find another way.

 

“Thanks, our youngest. Lately, Claire too, I’m only receiving help from our youngest? She said you helped with her thesis?”

 

“Compared to what I’ve received from my sisters, it’s nothing.”

 

But how does she know I helped with the thesis?

 

Normally they wouldn’t contact each other.

 

“Oh, by the way, what kind of organization could it be? Wasn’t there any purpose or anything like that?”

 

“Change the world, something like that? I’m not sure specifically how they plan to change it.”

 

“Hmm. An organization with such a purpose targeting Saul Hanston’s essence means they’re plotting something….”

 

Actually, thinking about it, it’s quite dangerous.

 

Just the existence of such an organization would be problematic, but we were caught red-handed.

 

“We should also keep this thoroughly secret for now, Dane.”

 

“Of course.”

 

But since Professor Denabo took them, after investigation, won’t a report go to the Imperial Palace too?

 

Then this time, instead of the 3rd Prince, will someone higher up come?

 

The Prince said he’d come once more anyway.

 

“Hmm… But normally Professor Denabo wouldn’t go to such lengths to take them.”

 

“Huh?”

 

“Of course it’s a huge matter. So there’s also the fact that he, as department head, wants to control it directly. But until now, Professor Denabo has never stepped forward when there was something worth investigating.”

 

It could be interpreted as the situation being that serious….

 

Or should I think there’s another reason?

 

“I have to go check it out later anyway. I’m nominally part of the Magic Department. Though I’m not an undergraduate.”

 

“It’ll be hectic. You’ll have to work hard.”

 

“Work hard, what.”

 

Big Sister was chuckling as if it was nothing when.

 

Buzz buzz buzz!

 

Big Sister’s communication crystal orb rang.

 

“Wait a moment. Huh, what’s wrong?”

 

-Se, Senior! Something terrible happened! It’s chaos over here right now! I think you need to come quickly!

 

“What’s suddenly wrong? Weren’t you on leave?”

 

-I returned immediately when they said something happened in the Restricted Zone! No, more than that! The five guys we caught today, they all committed suicide! With poison hidden in their mouths!

 

Suicide.

 

It was sudden news.

 

While Big Sister was flustered, I wasn’t flustered at all but narrowed my eyes.

 

Rather, suspicion began to arise.

 

Because it’s impossible.

 

Why?

 

Because I knocked those guys unconscious and removed all the poison from their mouths.
