Reincarnated as a Legendary Talent Genius of a Noble Family Episode 170

 

114. Are You Done Now?

 

All the events at the Imperial Palace had ended, and it was now time for us to return.

 

“Ugh, I feel stiff. Everything’s fine, but now that I’ve relaxed, my whole body aches.”

 

“If I come here twice more, really… the Grand Temple is the best.”

 

“Teacher Ernest, I think I might lose muscle mass from being so tense.”

 

“It’s really disappointing that we couldn’t explore the Imperial Palace…”

 

The four showed various reactions, but they all looked to be in good spirits.

 

The Imperial invitation.

 

It was only two days, but many things happened during that time… and we gained a lot too.

 

Most importantly, the tart was delicious.

 

I was so impressed by how different the Imperial tart was.

 

“I wonder if the Drenik Imperial tart is delicious too.”

 

“Huh? What tart?”

 

“Never mind. Leila, your family’s tart is the most delicious.”

 

“Right? As expected, Dane, you know what’s good.”

 

Someday I’ll try all the tarts in the world. That’s my newly formed goal. And while I’m at it, I should make a tart guide and distribute it.

 

“But Dane, let me ask you one thing.”

 

“Yeah?”

 

“What were you thinking having a staring contest with His Majesty the Emperor?”

 

I burst into laughter at Leila’s question.

 

“Why, were you scared?”

 

“Are you calling that a question? Are you crazy? What lunatic in the world has a staring contest with His Majesty the Emperor?”

 

Everyone agreed with Leila’s outburst.

 

“I thought Teacher Dane had given up on life.”

 

“Hmm. It would be like Dane to do that, but still, having a staring contest with His Majesty the Emperor…”

 

“Dane. Even the old folks at the Grand Temple can’t do that.”

 

Look at their reactions.

 

I shrugged my shoulders.

 

“Well, everyone’s heads are still attached, right? As long as we weren’t executed, it’s fine.”

 

“…Sigh.”

 

Leila sighed with an expression that said ‘of course.’

 

“Fine. That’s just how you are, Dane. Right?”

 

“Well, it’s Dane after all.”

 

“If it’s Dane, that makes sense.”

 

“If it’s Teacher Dane, he’d eat tart even in front of demons.”

 

Yes, this is how they gradually adapt.

 

There will be many more surprising things ahead.

 

“So now we’re going on ascetic training? Priscilla, when does the ascetic training start?”

 

“Starting the day after tomorrow. Pack tomorrow, and we can leave the day after. It won’t take too long.”

 

Our next destination is Northern Atalia Island.

 

We’re participating in Priscilla’s ascetic training.

 

The real ascetic training is the graduation ascetic training, but graduation ascetic training can only be done alone.

 

So this is the perfect opportunity.

 

“After that, we’re going to the Habarosk Mountain Range.”

 

“Right. We have a lot to do this vacation.”

 

“Teachers, am I coming along too?”

 

Then I suddenly heard Dorian’s question.

 

I tilted my head.

 

“Weren’t you planning to go?”

 

“B-but I’m not even an actual club member…”

 

At those words, Leila and I looked at each other.

 

“What does it matter? A guest member is still a member.”

 

“That’s true. You’re going to re-establish the Bodybuilding Club later anyway, right?”

 

Dorian is the former president of the Bodybuilding Club.

 

So he had the rather grand dream of reviving the Bodybuilding Club later.

 

Since it was forcibly disbanded after getting caught by the student council.

 

“Do whatever you’re comfortable with. What matters is whether you’re with us or not.”

 

Dorian eventually teared up at my words.

 

“Even if I re-establish it… my loyalty will never change!”

 

Sure, whatever.

 

He’s a tough fellow, so there will be many places for him to be active.

 

“Then what about Altur?”

 

“Where did he go during vacation?”

 

“He said he was going to his family.”

 

“Then we’ll talk about it next semester.”

 

Altur isn’t in a position to betray us, and he’s not a bad fellow overall.

 

I’ll need to think a bit more about putting him in the club though.

 

“Since we’re talking about it, let’s try making that club entrance exam we mentioned before next semester.”

 

Leila agreed with my suggestion.

 

“Good. That sounds fun, right? How many will we select?”

 

“Just however many we like? We should set a limit though. If we say we’ll take everyone, there’s no tension.”

 

“It would be fun to borrow a garden or something, make a maze, and test them with that.”

 

The other guys added to Ernest’s opinion.

 

“Strength measurement is essential.”

 

“I don’t want to accept anyone from the same Theology Department. In my department, I’m known as a senior with deep faith.”

 

“Should we test swordsmanship too?”

 

There will be a lot to do next semester too.

 

“Student Dane Sogress? It’s time to go get Chiron.”

 

Then Hank approached.

 

I followed Hank.

 

By the way, the reason the Imperial Palace can’t bring Chiron is because only I can handle that fellow.

 

“Does he dislike other people holding his reins and leading him too?”

 

“Don’t even mention it. That fellow is a demon, a demon.”

 

I can roughly guess the Emperor’s intention in giving me such a fellow, but on the other hand, I wonder what would have happened if I had failed.

 

Well, I never thought about that from the beginning anyway.

 

“Anyway, please take good care of that fellow. The stable keeper was secretly sad last night.”

 

“The stable keeper… has he been taking care of Chiron for a long time?”

 

“Yes. He’s grown quite attached despite everything. Always soothing him, feeding him, grooming his coat. But even so, seeing that fellow always tease the stable keeper, he’s really…”

 

There’s a reason why everyone calls him a damn horse, a damn horse.

 

“Still, now that he’s been subdued by student Dane Sogress, please make sure he behaves when you get there…”

 

Just as Hank was saying that and we arrived at the stable area.

 

“Ch-Chief Clerk…”

 

A dejected voice could be heard.

 

“Wh-what on earth is this…”

 

The destroyed stable also came into view.

 

“Ch-Chiron, that fellow… just suddenly destroyed the entire stable…”

 

I roughly understand what happened.

 

“He ran away…”

 

I shook my head at Hank’s words.

 

“He probably removed the paralysis device too. It seems like he can’t control himself since it’s been a while since he had freedom.”

 

If his escape becomes an established fact, this fellow will have a hard time surviving.

 

Since he’s out of control, the Imperial people are probably making moves to deal with him somehow by now.

 

I need to find him before that happens.

 

That reckless fellow.

 

And…

 

I should properly drain some of his energy.

 

So he can’t rampage around.

 

“Since he’s a fellow with excess energy, he probably acted out even more.”

 

“Then what should we do?”

 

“We need to go catch him.”

 

* * *

 

Commotion in the Imperial Palace isn’t as common as one might think.

 

Even when there is commotion, it’s usually just ‘trivial’ disturbances among attendants, maids, or guards.

 

The Imperial Palace is where the Emperor and other Imperial family members reside.

 

So ‘major’ disturbances rarely occur, and shouldn’t occur.

 

That’s what I thought.

 

But this time was different.

 

“C-catch it!”

 

“Drive it this way!”

 

“Get away! Aaaaah!”

 

It was just one horse, but it was causing absolute chaos.

 

“Th-this way! Get away!”

 

“Ugh!”

 

Chiron.

 

That crazy mad horse.

 

That fellow had escaped from the stable and was rampaging.

 

Whether it had suddenly gone mad or not, it was jumping here and there to a degree that was completely uncontrollable.

 

“Why the hell did this thing escape!”

 

“You said it would become docile! Suddenly what… Aaaaah!”

 

The attendants who were dispatched first were naturally overpowered, and the nearby guards couldn’t do anything either.

 

Next came the knights.

 

But even the knights didn’t know what to do.

 

The reason was simple.

 

This horse was now one that the Emperor had ‘directly’ bestowed upon Academy student Dane Sogress.

 

They wanted to cut it down with one stroke, but they couldn’t do that.

 

“The Magic Corps, when is the Magic Corps coming!”

 

So their only hope was the Magic Corps.

 

People who would safely subdue Chiron with magic.

 

Of course, until they arrived, it was hell itself.

 

“Puheeheehing!”

 

Chiron was rampaging excitedly.

 

It was an inexplicable mad rampage.

 

If it was at least trying to escape, that would be understandable, but it wasn’t even that.

 

‘It’s a crazy horse, a crazy horse.’

 

‘I wish it would just leave quickly.’

 

Thanks to this, as furniture broke and gardens were trampled, the attendants and maids shed tears of blood inwardly.

 

This continued for over ten minutes.

 

As everything Chiron rampaged through was being destroyed, someone finally arrived.

 

“D-did the Magic Corps come?”

 

It was Dane.

 

“Puhehing.”

 

And surprisingly, as soon as Chiron saw Dane, it stopped abruptly and grinned like a human.

 

What kind of horse is that.

 

People gulped down their dry saliva.

 

Everyone knows that Dane Sogress had finally subdued Chiron.

 

But seeing this state now, they wondered if subduing it was really possible.

 

“Puhehing.”

 

Scrape, scrape.

 

Sure enough, Chiron began scratching the ground.

 

It looked ready to charge at Dane at any moment.

 

However, everyone couldn’t move a muscle.

 

The moment they blocked its path, it wouldn’t be a matter of blocking or not, but a matter of dying or being on the verge of death.

 

If they got rammed by that enormous steed…

 

At minimum, serious injury.

 

At worst, death.

 

“Puheeheehing!”

 

Chiron began scratching the ground even more vigorously.

 

Dane just stood there quietly watching this Chiron.

 

With his arms crossed, no less.

 

What was he trying to do.

 

Subdue it with just his gaze?

 

Or maybe magic, since he was called a genius of magic?

 

Or would he draw his sword?

 

Thinking about it, there was nothing Dane could do.

 

This was the Imperial Palace, so except for authorized individuals, magic, summoning arts, swordsmanship, etc. couldn’t be used.

 

‘Then what is he planning to do…’

 

Those who had been battered by Chiron’s rampage were quietly watching to see how Dane would handle this.

 

“Pururuk.”

 

Chiron shook its body once—

 

The moment it was about to kick off the ground.

 

“Are you done now?”

 

Dane’s question was heard.

 

It was a question directed at Chiron.

 

“Or try some more. Until you run out of energy.”

 

The moment those words were heard.

 

“Pururuk!”

 

Chiron charged at Dane once again.

 

Since he told it to try, it would try.

 

“N-no!”

 

“We have to stop it!”

 

“But how!”

 

People screamed at the sight of Chiron charging, and Dane didn’t move a muscle in the midst of it all.

 

But at that moment, everyone saw it.

 

Whoosh.

 

Dane slightly twisted his body to dodge, avoiding Chiron’s charge, and at the same time, as Chiron passed by his side…

 

Thud!

 

He kicked off the ground and gracefully landed on Chiron’s back.

 

“Shall we play a bit?”

 

And Dane grinned just like Chiron had done, grabbed its mane, and channeled mana into it like before.

 

Then something comfortable flowed down through his mane.

 

“….”

 

“….”

 

With everyone at a loss for words, Chiron finally came to a proud stop.

 

Dane, who was on top of him, didn’t even glance at the reins and grabbed the mane to pull it.

 

Then amazingly, Chiron moved.

 

In the direction Dane was leading.

 

“My, my goodness… It, it was real….”

 

“Dane Sogress… That student is truly unbelievable….”

 

“That Chiron so easily like that….”

 

Everyone gaped and made comments about the scene unfolding before their eyes.

 

The fellow who had been causing inexplicable chaos just moments ago was simply subdued.

 

Of course, it wasn’t chaos.

 

Chiron was just playing around—

 

And Dane was planning to play with Chiron from now on.

 

Until this fellow’s energy ran out.

 

“Go ahead. Until you’re tired.”

 

“Puheeheing!”

 

Chiron responded as well.

 

In fact, Chiron had been wanting this.

 

Unlike those ‘weaklings’ who would fall off after a few shakes, someone who would never fall off his back.

 

And now he had finally met one.

 

“But you know, if you’re going to travel with me from now on, you’ll need to learn some manners?”

 

“Puheing?”

 

“You won’t be locked up forever, right? Let’s behave, behave nicely.”

 

This was a bit chilling.

 

The Ancient Magic Power was warm….

 

But his tone seemed like a warning, you could say.

 

“Still, well, to handle you, the home will need to be sturdy. Don’t you think?”

 

“Puheeheing.”

 

“Maybe I should build a stable.”

 

Amidst Dane’s murmuring, Chiron finally began to move.

 

To a place not far away.

 

To the Equestrian Training Ground where he had rarely been able to run since no one had tamed him.

 

“Puheheheing!”

 

Chiron seemed to be in a good mood somehow.

 

And here was one more thing.

 

“It was… real.”

 

“To think that Chiron would be so docile….”

 

“My goodness….”

 

Chiron.

 

It was the moment when Dane’s legend of calming the crazy mad horse began to spread in earnest.
