Reincarnated as a Legendary Talent Genius of a Noble Family Episode 210
141. Prepare Yourselves
They say that with the first cup of alcohol you feel good, with the second cup you become reckless, and with the third cup you become violent.
It was an old saying of Alteon.
And now, those guys who had escaped the camp and were wandering through the forest were in an extremely excited state.
“My heart is still pounding. We really got out, right?”
“Shh. Be quiet. We’ll get caught if we’re not careful.”
“But my heart is pounding so hard!”
Spear Arts Department 2nd year.
Elta Norland.
Hugerd Bellatier.
Not only had the two secretly drunk the alcohol they had hidden, but they had also used their intoxication as an excuse to escape the camp.
Moreover, they had come quite far from the camp.
“Hehehe. If we do this, everyone will look at us differently.”
“Of course. Who would think that any 2nd year could hunt monsters in this Elpiso Forest and return?”
These two idiots hadn’t escaped the camp solely because of alcohol.
“Those children. They’ll be so shocked they’ll fall over.”
“The seniors will look at us differently too, right?”
Actually, they had been planning this since before coming to today’s camping class.
However, they lacked the courage to go sober, so they drank alcohol and succeeded in avoiding Professor Ingrid’s eyes like this.
And these two were well-known troublemakers in the Spear Arts Department.
“Honestly, I thought we’d get caught when we came out.”
“Me too. Phew. Now we just need to hunt a monster and go back. Without anyone knowing.”
“Did you sharpen your spear tip?”
“Of course. But the monsters that inhabit this Elpiso Forest… *hic*!”
“Shh. Be quiet!”
What a sight, going to hunt monsters while drunk and even hiccupping.
“With that leather, we can make stylish armor like the seniors.”
There was another purpose here.
You could call it childish admiration.
Finally, these two managed to catch the sound of a monster.
Awoooooo…
“Do you hear it? This howling?”
“It’s a Bainwolf.”
Bainwolf.
A monster resembling a wolf.
Much more agile and ferocious than wolves.
That was exactly it.
The reason these two fools had snuck out.
That Bainwolf’s leather was proof of being a ‘cool Spear Arts Department student.’
To be precise, leather armor made from Bainwolf hide had been trending recently.
“Finally found it.”
“We’re definitely catching it.”
The two mustered their courage.
Bainwolf was certainly a ferocious monster.
However, the fact that such fellows occasionally separated from the pack made the two act recklessly.
“You need to be at least a 4th year to handle it. Is it okay… *hic*”
“You idiot. We’re 2nd years. So if we combine, that’s 4th year.”
“Aha!”
Through this ridiculous conversation, the two gradually approached where the howling came from.
And finally, they discovered the Bainwolf.
Blood-red eyes gleaming from jet-black fur.
The two flinched the moment they met those eyes, but drew courage from the alcohol that hadn’t yet worn off.
“Raise your spear.”
“Good. We’ll subdue it in one go.”
The two had devised a plausible plan.
Elta was quite good at spear throwing.
So while Hugerd drew its attention, Elta would use the spear throwing spear he had prepared in advance to hit the Bainwolf, and in that gap, Hugerd would charge in.
After that, Elta would finish his spear throwing and join Hugerd to face the Bainwolf together.
“Going.”
“Good. I’m going out.”
Hugerd immediately appeared in front and shouted.
“Come at me! You bastard!”
“Grrrk!”
The Bainwolf’s gaze turned.
And the Bainwolf glared at Hugerd and growled low.
But that was only for a moment.
Something happened that was beyond their expectations.
“Huh, what?”
The Bainwolf turned its back and started running away.
“Ch, chase!”
Elta, who had been hiding, also came forward in confusion, and the two hurriedly chased the Bainwolf.
This wasn’t in their calculations.
They naturally thought the Bainwolf would charge at them.
“Huff, gasp. What’s this all of a sudden?”
“Just chase! We can’t let it get away!”
The two ran like crazy.
But naturally, human legs couldn’t catch up to a four-legged running Bainwolf.
This would be impossible unless these two were at least Triple-class.
So naturally-
“Huff, gasp. Where… is this?”
“We completely… lost it.”
The two had unknowingly entered deep into the forest and ended up lost.
Although they were drunk, until they met the Bainwolf, they had marked their path intermittently.
But they couldn’t do that while chasing the Bainwolf, and since it ran away changing directions here and there, they couldn’t even gauge the way back.
“We’re screwed…”
The two realized their reality and finally trembled.
This chilling feeling as the intoxication that had been coursing through their bodies coldly faded away.
But the problem was just beginning.
“Grrrrrrr…”
The growling sounds of Bainwolves began to be heard.
But there wasn’t just one or two directions.
“Th, this damn…”
Bainwolf was an intelligent monster.
Pretending to run away, it had lured its prey and somehow brought them into its and its companions’ territory.
In fact, although quite a long time had passed since monsters appeared after the Demon Realm War, their habits and ecology had not yet been perfectly studied.
The same was true for Bainwolves.
What seemed like occasionally separating from the pack was actually a method for luring prey.
“Grrrr!”
“Growl!”
“Graaah!”
Bainwolves began emerging one by one from between the trees.
By the third and fourth ones, both of them despaired.
There was no way out in sight.
Run away?
That was out of the question.
They only had a few spears with them.
These two, with skills barely at second-year level, swallowed dry saliva as if a blade had been placed at their throats.
Trembling legs and cold sweat running down their backs.
“Grrrrr….”
Now there were more than ten Bainwolves glaring at the two of them.
They belatedly realized they had done something far too reckless—
“Graaaah!”
Even as the Bainwolf charged at them, they couldn’t move a muscle.
It was then, as they squeezed their eyes shut in terror that wouldn’t even let out a scream.
Whoosh! Thud!
A spear that flew from somewhere precisely pierced through the head of the Bainwolf that had been charging at them—
“These thoughtless fellows….”
A woman’s voice filled with anger.
“Fortunately, we’re not too late, Professor.”
And then a youthful yet somehow weighty voice was heard.
The two opened their eyes and saw.
Two saviors.
“Professor, please take the right side.”
“Be careful, Student Dane.”
Dane and Professor Ingrid.
Each wielding a spear, they scattered to both sides and charged at the Bainwolves.
Crack!
Professor Ingrid truly lived up to being a Penta-class spear knight.
She struck down the head of the first charging Bainwolf with her spear blade, then kicked the next charging Bainwolf and struck it down with the opposite end of her spear shaft.
Crunch!
She twisted her body to dodge the immediately charging Bainwolf.
“Clang!”
At the same time, she even showed an amazing technique of thrusting the spear blade upward from below.
“As expected of the Professor….”
“My goodness, how does she do that….”
Elta and Hugerd were left speechless by Professor Ingrid’s martial prowess.
The person who always showed a kind smile and treated students generously was nowhere to be found.
But it was still too early to be surprised.
Swoosh!
Dane, who had charged to the left, simultaneously pierced two charging Bainwolves with his spear.
Perfect timing.
Perfect thrust.
And perfect courage.
Whoosh!
Then he pulled out his spear without hesitation and threw it, piercing through another Bainwolf, before drawing a new spear from his subspace.
Then he faced two Bainwolves that charged simultaneously with surprising ease.
“That guy… that’s Dane Sogress, right?”
“Does that even make sense?”
They had known.
That Dane possessed all kinds of talents.
But knowing something and seeing it with your own eyes were completely different matters.
Dane’s spear arts….
It seemed like none of the two, or any student in the Spear Arts Department, could even approach his level.
Even more—
Bang!
The two saw it.
The moment Dane thrust his spear and stopped, an explosion occurred at its tip, blowing the Bainwolf away.
“What… what the hell is that?”
Professor Ingrid, who had just finished dealing with the Bainwolves on her side and turned to help Dane, felt the same way.
‘What did I just see?’
Dane Sogress.
She hadn’t mentioned it so as not to discourage other Spear Arts Department students, but honestly, there was no undergraduate student in the Spear Arts Department better than Dane.
But that went beyond even that.
‘He’s already using senior’s… technique so skillfully?’
Mana Point Explosion.
A technique Professor Ingrid knew all too well.
The sight of her senior using this technique with Dragon Tail on the battlefield was overwhelmingly impressive.
‘I can see that figure.’
While Professor Ingrid unconsciously stared in fascination, Dane finally finished off the last Bainwolf.
“Phew.”
Dane exhaled a short breath.
The sweat droplets that had formed on his forehead sparkled in the moonlight filtering through the leaves.
The sight was so picturesque that the three people stared at Dane for a while….
Then returned to reality.
“These fellows….”
Professor Ingrid sighed and approached Elta and Hugerd.
“We’re s-sorry, Professor….”
“We’re sorry….”
That was all the two could say.
Professor Ingrid stared at them intently before asking.
“Are you hurt anywhere?”
“No….”
At least that was fortunate.
But that didn’t mean it could be overlooked.
Professor Ingrid brought up the words Academy students feared most.
“Both of you contact your main houses as soon as we return tomorrow. And… tell your parents to come.”
Crash!
Lightning struck in both their hearts.
“You know what I mean, right?”
Because of these two, Professor Ingrid and Dane had to wander through the forest in the middle of the night.
And both of them had nearly lost their lives.
“I’ll ask for detailed reasons later. Let’s go back for now.”
Professor Ingrid said this while looking toward Dane. Dane had just returned after collecting the spears he had thrown.
“Professor, you’ve worked hard.”
Professor Ingrid felt almost human reverence at his completely unruffled appearance.
How could that be a student?
Even calling him professor-level would be believable.
“Student Dane, are you injured anywhere?”
“No. Are you alright, Professor?”
“I can’t have people hearing that a professor got beaten by a Bainwolf.”
Professor Ingrid smiled briefly, then turned her head back to The Two.
“The Two of you would have died if it weren’t for student Dane Sogress.”
“…What?”
“We were able to come right away thanks to student Dane quickly tracking your traces.”
It was true.
Unlike Professor Ingrid who had panicked momentarily and fumbled from the start of tracking, Dane had accurately pinpointed the direction The Two had gone.
‘It really was divine luck.’
Everything proceeded smoothly from then on.
Dane, who had rushed forward as if he already knew, discovered The Two in an instant and then joined the combat.
“Student Dane, as soon as we return, I’ll recommend you to the Academy Dormitory for a Certificate of Merit regarding this incident.”
“Anyone would have done the same.”
Professor Ingrid shook her head at Dane’s modesty.
“No. This is something that couldn’t have been accomplished without student Dane.”
Professor Ingrid then spoke to The Two as well.
“And you two.”
“Y-Yes. Professor.”
“I can even smell alcohol.”
“…”
“You should prepare yourselves for suspension.”
Professor Ingrid’s cold voice, unlike anything before, pierced through the ears of the two students.
