Reincarnated as a Legendary Talent Genius of a Noble Family Episode 150
98. Time to Test the Density
Special Mana Stone Mk 2.
For now, I’ve roughly named it like this.
It’s Big Sister’s naming method.
I originally wanted to call it ‘Number 2 Special Mana Stone’…
“It’s not like we’re making confectionery. Don’t you think that name is a bit much? Now that I look at it, our youngest has a slightly ordinary sense for naming things, doesn’t he?”
Because Big Sister stopped me, saying it would look cheap when selling it.
“It’s just a perfectly fitting name though.”
Well, since Big Sister says so, let’s move on.
It’s absolutely not that I’m bad at naming things.
People just don’t recognize it.
“Fine.”
Anyway, I’ve already sent the Number 2 Special Mana Stone… no, the Special Mana Stone Mk 2 to Sidrain.
I should get a reaction soon.
He’s also looking for sellers, so I think good news should come soon.
Now then, what I need to do is test the power of the third circle.
And track Professor Denabo to create a ‘justification’.
“Shall I try it?”
Having come to Bonia Forest with my club friends, I drew up my mana while the other guys were training.
Composure and equanimity.
And even higher density.
These two things came through the third circle.
I’m not sure if there’s something more, but I need to figure out these two first.
“First, composure.”
Having rolled around battlefields so much in my previous life, I don’t get surprised or particularly bothered by most things.
So I was wondering what to experiment with…
“Ah.”
I recalled the subjugation when I was holding my staff and was unusually composed.
‘Ortka’.
The screams it emits contain mana that make most people tremble.
Of course, I’m not at that level, but I thought I’d be slightly affected, yet thanks to my staff I wasn’t.
But when I let go of the staff, faint trembling and tension were transmitted.
Then let’s try this.
I just thought of a way to simultaneously test both abilities of the third circle I’ve discovered so far.
“Dorian.”
“Yes, Teacher!”
Dorian rushes over like lightning as soon as I call.
This fellow seems to have gotten bigger lately. Is it the result of working out and training with us?
In terms of skill, he’s below Leila, but I hear he’s quite a recognized talent in the martial arts department.
At this rate, if the Bodybuilding Club revives next year, won’t he go around doing sales even more persistently?
“Do you have a moment?”
“I’ll make time even if I don’t have any!”
He’s being too respectful even though he’s my senior, but well, if he says he’ll do it.
It’s not like I’ve ever cared about senior-junior relationships anyway.
“I’m about to do something right now, and you might be surprised. Will that be okay? Of course, it’s not dangerous.”
“I’d do it even if it were dangerous, Teacher!”
Ah, this is burdensome.
Those glistening muscles are starting to feel burdensome again.
But it’s fine since he has passion.
“Thanks to Teacher Dane, I’m getting stronger! Thanks to you, I’ve experienced real combat and met good teachers to train with!”
It’s good that he’s positive.
If only he weren’t the former Bodybuilding Club president, I might consider putting him in our club, but he’s so serious about muscles.
Anyway.
“Good. Stand over there.”
“Yes!”
I distanced myself from Dorian and concentrated.
There are various types of summoned beasts.
From most 10th-grade summoned beasts that have no combat or other abilities and must find meaning simply in being ‘summoned’-
To 1st-grade summoned beasts where just ‘summoning’ them gets you treated as an incredible summoner.
For reference, the highest grade I’ve summoned so far is a 4th-grade summoned beast, Altemar.
And what I’m trying to summon now is a 3rd-grade summoned beast.
Among 3rd-grade summoned beasts, it’s at a level that’s nothing special in terms of pure combat power.
But-
“Answer the call.”
It’s a fellow that gets evaluated as being no less than most 2nd-grade summoned beasts.
“Kuhuhuhuhuh…”
It’s ‘Divest’.
The fellow summoned while letting out a chilling laugh is…
One of the beings from the Demon Realm.
“Te, Teacher?”
As proof, Dorian started breaking out in cold sweat as soon as he faced Divest.
Humanoid summoned beast, Divest.
But the horns on his head, black tail, and blood-red wings prove he’s not ‘human’.
Instinctive fear.
The aura emitted by beings from the Demon Realm makes Dorian tremble.
There was no need to see more.
“That’s enough.”
Divest withdrew his aura and turned back toward me.
Thud.
At the same time, Dorian collapses.
“Wha, wha, what is that ridiculous summoned beast?”
“How do you feel?”
“We, well… I’d say it feels like facing an endless darkness… The overwhelming pressure and the feeling of being sucked in is no joke.”
Just as Dorian said.
For most people at an ordinary level, just standing before Divest causes their composure to crumble and shows physical abnormalities.
“As expected of Teacher Dane… to summon such a tremendous being…”
Seeing him praise me even in this situation, I think Dorian’s loyalty might be genuine.
Anyway, this proved Divest’s ability.
So now it’s my turn.
For reference, this fellow is a particularly dangerous existence even among summoned beasts.
Though bound by a summoning contract, there are often cases where he arbitrarily breaks the contract and runs away when the caster shows weakness.
“He is quite a tremendous fellow.”
His influence in combat is powerful.
But there are few summoners who summon him.
No, they try not to do it.
The reason is simple.
This fellow doesn’t develop loyalty through ordinary links, because he’s wicked and cunning.
Add to that his rather unpleasant nature, and he attacks knowing that summoners have few means to protect themselves.
All those ‘Divest’-related incidents that often appear in newspapers are like this.
“Kehehehe…”
So I should establish discipline in advance while I have the chance.
I don’t like that laugh.
Once I make him submit, he’ll be useful in many ways going forward.
Swoosh.
I deliberately loosened the link with Divest.
Then Divest’s eyes changed completely.
“Kehehe.”
Since I didn’t summon him with a strong link from the beginning, he’s probably mistaken.
Thinking my power is gradually draining away.
As evidence, he was slowly approaching me.
No matter how you look at it, this isn’t the attitude a summoned beast should show toward its summoner.
“Dane? What are you doing right now?”
“Teacher! Isn’t that dangerous?”
Then I heard my friends’ voices.
I raised my hand as if to say it was fine.
Then everyone immediately felt relieved.
“Dane knows what he’s doing.”
“He wouldn’t have summoned it without a reason, right?”
Only Dorian seemed somewhat flustered.
“B-but that fellow looked extremely dangerous just now…”
“It’s fine. Leave it be. Let’s see what else happens.”
Then Leila went back to swinging her sword, and Ernest took out his notebook and began sketching with eyes that were ‘exploring’ something new.
“Kehe!”
Meanwhile, Divest approached me, emanating that familiar heavy aura.
But there was nothing wrong with my body at all.
Normally, I would have felt at least some intimidation or sensed danger…
Instead, I only felt calm.
“Kehook?”
Divest tilted his head.
He had an expression like something was wrong, but then he reached out his hand.
The fellow’s aura spreading from his palm instantly surrounded me.
But still, I was perfectly fine.
“Ke…he?”
At this point, confusion appeared in his expression.
It’s normal for ordinary humans to collapse just from him concentrating his aura.
I had even loosened the link.
He probably thought it was because I was exhausted-
“What, is that all you can do??”
Instead, I was smiling with complete composure, which seemed to confuse him even more.
“Kehe…!”
He finally created a sword from his own aura, gripped it in his hand, and began walking toward me.
Clear hostility.
This fellow seems to be a bit more violent.
He’s not just thinking of running away, but approaching with the intention of killing me first.
“Keheu!”
His charge was instantaneous.
Truly befitting a being from the Demon Realm.
Swift movement and sharp assault that ordinary knights couldn’t even respond to.
This is why they appear in newspapers every so often.
Because summoners’ physical abilities are usually nothing special.
But I’m a summoner, and also a mage, swordsman, and spear user…
Thwang!
“Kehe?!”
I can easily block an attack of that level.
I instantly drew my spear, deflected his sword, and kicked him away.
Thwack!
“Kehe!”
He’s definitely fast.
Being a 3rd-grade summoned beast, plus cunning and vicious, simple direct methods might not work.
Sure enough.
“Keheuuu!”
He sprang up from the ground and scattered the sword he was holding.
I can feel intense energy.
It seems like he’s trying to do something.
But I’m still calm.
I should be tense or excited, but there’s none of that at all.
“Definitely… peaceful.”
Part of it might be because I’m consciously maintaining it, but even considering that, this calmness is inexplicable.
If Little Sister had seen this scene, she would have tried to reverse summon him somehow.
“Kehe!”
Because he’s that dangerous.
Massive energy was gathering in his hands.
And the completed black sphere.
An instinctive prediction arose that my body would disintegrate if hit by it.
He’s going to shoot that thing.
“Good.”
I considered calling out Karnas but stopped.
Right now is the stage for testing my circle’s power.
It’s dangerous, but I’m still calm.
I wonder if I’ll die calmly when I’m old and dying later.
Well, I’ll worry about that later.
The ‘calmness’ effect provided by the 3rd Circle has been proven.
Then now…
“It’s time to test the density.”
Not more special mana stones, but density deep enough to create an entirely new version of special mana stones.
I recalled a good spell I had thought of in advance.
I’ve already mastered almost all 4-Chain magic codes, and my proficiency has reached the final stages.
Then I should use the most powerful 4-Chain magic.
The most difficult magic even among 4-Chain level spells, one that actually frustrates countless mages before they advance from 4-Chain to 3-Chain.
Rummmmmble!
That’s right, ‘Lightning Summoning’.
“Ke…he?”
As tremendous power began surging around my mana, his eyes widened.
Altur set out to find Dane without any plan.
In the end, Dane was the only one he could talk to about this kind of thing.
Of course, he couldn’t talk about Professor Denabo to someone else from the Magic Department…
Ultimately, the most important reason was that Dane was strong.
And that he was somehow different.
‘Even though it’s shameless of me.’
Actually, if you think about it, Altur wasn’t really in a position to ask Dane for favors.
He had been incredibly bothersome with the student council issue, and had picked fights from the very first day.
But what could he do?
When the human heart becomes frustrated, shame and everything else becomes irrelevant.
That’s how desperate Altur was.
Anyway, for that reason he had asked around to find Dane…
“That guy is really insane.”
His jaw dropped at the scene before his eyes.
Altur knew a bit about summoning arts.
Everyone dreams of becoming a summoner at some point while reading summoned creature encyclopedias as a child.
So he knew that thing was Divest, a tremendous summoned beast.
The problem was that he hadn’t known Dane was this much of a madman.
“He’s going to fight that thing?”
Who would have thought he’d suddenly summon Divest, face it, and then fight it out of nowhere like that?
He wasn’t even being pushed back.
There was no sign of fear either.
Could he possibly be doing something like ‘sparring’ with a summoned beast?
It was ridiculous, but it didn’t seem entirely impossible either.
That fellow was Dane Sogress, after all.
A monster.
And a genius of the ages.
Someone had said it.
A ‘genius of talent.’
“…”
He’d felt it since the subjugation, but now the emotion of jealousy was nowhere to be found.
Only an even stronger sense of awe had taken its place.
In fact, that’s why he had come looking for Dane.
But now that sense of awe had only grown even more.
Even more so—
Kururururung!
Altur’s complexion changed at this familiar sound.
“N-no way…”
The so-called ‘4-Chain Graduation Magic.’
But even decent 5-Chain level mages found it difficult to use ‘Lightning Summoning’ ‘freely.’
And yet—
“This is insane…”
The summoning circles characteristic of lightning summoning magic appearing beneath that Divest’s feet weren’t just one.
There were six of them.
Could that be possible?
Even he could manage only about two at most.
And even then, he’d summon one and immediately follow with another, not simultaneously like Dane was doing.
“…He was never someone I could recruit in the first place…”
That crazy professor.
If he wants to do it, he should do it himself.
Recruit ‘that kind of’ fellow?
This thought came instinctively.
That fellow would never be under anyone.
Kwarururung!
Then came the sound of lightning.
It was deafening.
Gulp.
Altur swallowed dryly.
“Really…”
And then—
Kwakwakwakwang!
Six lightning bolts struck down on Divest in an instant.
“I can only feel admiration…”
Altur realized.
The person he should follow wasn’t Professor Denabo…
It was Dane Sogress.
