Reincarnated as a Legendary Talent Genius of a Noble Family Episode 213

143. Now I’m Not Afraid of You Guys (2)

After obtaining his third mana concentrator, Dane had become able to maintain composure in most situations.

But that didn’t mean he lacked emotions.

Moreover, that composure was something Dane could cast aside whenever he wanted.

That’s why Dane was furious right now.

Since his previous life, he wondered if he had ever been this angry in his current life.

“Grrrrgh…”

Dane pulled the remaining five guys with gravity, excluding the area where Ernest was, pressing them down from above as he approached.

With a heart pounding intensely.

Right, this was what it felt like when blood ran ice cold.

But his hands weren’t trembling with rage, nor did he want to grab and kill these bastards right away because he couldn’t control his anger.

Composure.

So—

“It’s just the beginning, so why are you all struggling so much.”

This was ‘composed fury.’

Dane added telekinesis to gather the five guys in one place.

The guys being dragged helplessly.

“Now this is more comfortable.”

Meanwhile, Priscilla and Leila rushed over urgently to check Ernest’s condition.

“Oh my goodness… Ernest, Ernest. Are you okay?”

Leila’s frantic voice.

Priscilla’s calm diagnosis.

“His condition is too bad. Dane, I’ll give him emergency treatment right away.”

“Please do.”

Since Priscilla went, he could feel relieved for now.

But the fact that Priscilla spoke to that extent made Dane’s blood run even colder.

“These crazy bastards… How could several people do this to one person… Don’t you have any honor, anything?”

Leila also rarely cursed as she raged.

These guys were from the Swordsmanship Department.

Leila wouldn’t cover for them just because they were from the same department, but she was angry at their complete lack of honor and seeing her friend hurt.

Meanwhile, Leila observed Dane’s condition.

On the way here, he was still calm but strangely different from usual.

How should she put it.

An unprecedented rage was surging, but it felt too cold.

‘He won’t be dangerous.’

Dane wasn’t dangerous.

Now those guys were the ones in danger.

Leila knew Dane.

No, she thought she knew him.

So for now, she focused only on helping Priscilla give Ernest emergency treatment.

“You guys.”

Then Dane knelt on one knee in front of the five guys who couldn’t move.

“I think I made a mistake last time.”

“Mmph…”

“I should have tied up loose ends properly instead of just letting you go then.”

Even while saying this, Dane looked at the two injured guys.

Ernest had resisted after all.

It was also what Dane had hoped for.

Even if he received someone’s help, he had hoped Ernest would overcome his trauma himself.

Ernest seemed to have accomplished that in that sense.

But—

“So, things will be a bit different from now on.”

That didn’t mean he planned to let these guys off easy.

“You have to take responsibility. For what you’ve done.”

Dane turned his head and asked Priscilla.

“How bad is his condition?”

“I’m treating him, but I think we need to move him to the Academy Branch of the Holy Church. There seem to be multiple fractures, and there’s quite a bit of internal bleeding too.”

“Please do that right away. Leila. Please help with that. And…”

Dane opened his mouth as if he had made a decision.

“Call a professor. Anyone. Except professors from the Swordsmanship Department.”

Leila’s eyes widened in surprise.

Call a professor?

Then this matter…

“At first I thought about tearing you apart… but then the time you’d suffer would be too short, wouldn’t it?”

“…!”

“So, I’ve decided. I’ll torment you for a long, long time.”

Bron and his gang’s eyes snapped open.

And Dane’s cold death sentence was handed down.

“I’ll make sure you can’t set foot anywhere in this Empire.”

An emergency faculty meeting was convened.

“This is an urgent matter. By order of the Principal, it has been adopted as a full faculty meeting agenda, and as a result, an emergency meeting has been convened.”

The incident had blown up big.

Leila had brought a Magic Department professor who happened to be passing by to the scene.

The Academy security immediately came and arrested the five students who had brutally assaulted Ernest, and the incident was quickly reported, leading to the convening of a faculty meeting.

In less than a day.

“…Five Swordsmanship Department students, including first-year Bron Sauer, assaulted Exploration Department first-year student Ernest Dylan continuously for about 2 hours without rest.”

Sighs erupted from all directions.

The professors knew too.

About students from different departments fighting each other at the Academy. Furthermore, they knew that hierarchies were formed.

But once this came to the surface, and once it was exposed to the point of convening a faculty meeting like this…

“Two whole hours…”

“What kind of atrocity is this?”

“Good heavens…”

There was nothing left to cover up.

It had become a matter for the entire Academy.

Above all—

“And the whistleblower of this incident is Autonomous Department first-year student Dane Sogress.”

“…!”

“Dane… Sogress?”

The names of Dane Sogress and the Sogress County had appeared.

It had become an incident that absolutely could not be overlooked or taken lightly.

Thanks to this, the faces of the Swordsmanship Department professors, including Professor Esteranza who attended the faculty meeting, turned deathly pale.

The Swordsmanship Department’s reputation had already hit rock bottom because of that idiot Conrad—

Another incident had erupted, and moreover, the victim was Dane Sogress’s friend, and the whistleblower was Dane Sogress himself.

‘This is driving me crazy. Damn.’

‘What kind of grudge do these crazy bastards have to keep messing with the Sogress family!’

‘This is driving me crazy, absolutely crazy.’

“The victim, student Ernest Dylan, has not yet regained consciousness. While his life is not in danger, this is merely a literal expression, as he showed symptoms of multiple fractures, internal bleeding, dental fractures, and concussion.”

“….”

Everyone’s mouths fell wide open.

If it had been just one deep sword wound, they wouldn’t have been this shocked.

That could easily happen in an accidental sparring match.

But those kinds of injuries….

Those were injuries that made no sense unless it was sustained assault.

Most importantly-

“Furthermore, this was not a spontaneous assault, but has been revealed as a premeditated assault. The testimonies of the remaining four individuals, excluding the main perpetrator, were consistent.”

The opponent was one person.

A premeditated group assault against that one person.

The victim’s serious condition.

This alone warranted severe disciplinary action depending on the circumstances….

And the accuser was Dane Sogress.

A legendary genius freshman and a scion of one of the Empire’s most prominent families.

A situation that couldn’t be brushed aside or punished lightly.

The professors were already recalling the family names of the perpetrators in their minds, gauging their influence, but even all five combined seemed no match for the prestige of Count Sogress’s house.

“The accuser, student Dane Sogress, has added a petition requesting severe punishment. Now, I’ll take opinions on this matter.”

As soon as the host finished speaking, loud voices erupted from the Magic Department side.

“The involved parties must be severely punished. With such premeditated assault amounting to attempted murder, there’s sufficient possibility of damaging the Imperial Academy’s reputation. We propose expulsion!”

“That’s right. We propose expulsion! The Swordsmanship Department students have already continuously caused problems, dragging the Imperial Academy’s prestige through the mud!”

“How long has it been since that student Conrad nearly ruined everyone’s course registration out of personal revenge, and now they’re doing this again…!”

The Magic Department launched scathing criticisms, as if trying to completely bury the Swordsmanship Department this time.

Meanwhile, the Swordsmanship Department wasn’t without things to say either.

“The Magic Department talking like that—didn’t your department head, no less, join some secret society plotting to overthrow the Empire, throwing the Academy’s prestige into the gutter?”

“The Magic Department’s pride is now rotting away lonely in the Imperial underground dungeon, so that says it all!”

The host quickly intervened.

“Professors, this meeting is to discuss punishment for the perpetrators and measures for the victim regarding this incident. Please refrain from off-topic remarks.”

Thanks to this, the argument—no, mutual accusations—died down before they could escalate further.

But there was plenty of possibility they could start again at any time.

For the professors of the related departments, it was both a crisis and an opportunity.

“Professor Robert Hengellane, head of the Exploration Department, please speak.”

Amid this, an angry voice was heard.

“I have absolutely no intention of overlooking this matter. I request severe punishment for those involved. I am deeply troubled by the fact that I was unaware such a thing had happened to a student in my department.”

“….”

Professor Robert was naturally, unlike the other professors, genuinely and intensely angry.

Ernest Dylan.

The eldest son of the prestigious exploration family, Baron Dylan.

Even aside from that, he was always a diligent and dear student, and for such a thing to happen to him.

Was this the sorrow of an unpopular department?

Such thoughts came to mind, making it unbearably difficult to endure.

“Indeed, wouldn’t it be difficult for those students to remain at the Academy?”

“But how many cases have there been of freshmen being expelled so far….”

“Still, if we show sincere efforts for victim relief and recovery, wouldn’t that be taken into consideration?”

“But isn’t the accuser that Dane Sogress? And they’re supposedly extremely close friends.”

“Don’t you know Count Sogress? He may have become more personable now, but how ruthless was he on the battlefield? I can still vividly remember Count Sogress stabbing and slashing enemies without mercy.”

The atmosphere was flowing toward severely punishing the perpetrators. Thanks to this, the Swordsmanship Department professors became desperate.

Conrad had received indefinite suspension.

And if students here also received indefinite suspension, or in the worst case were expelled, then it would truly be the end.

“Our Swordsmanship Department promises here to do everything possible for victim relief for student Ernest Dylan.”

“Isn’t this just kids fighting? Even if it went too far, reconciliation and requesting prevention of recurrence should suffice.”

“Actually, our students were also injured. By arrows, no less. One had his leg torn, and one was completely pierced through the shoulder.”

The sight of the Swordsmanship Department professors desperately arguing was pitiful beyond sympathy.

Those who had boasted the highest status alongside the Magic Department at the Imperial Academy, and had acted arrogantly at every regular meeting, were now in such a state.

“Are there any others who wish to speak?”

In this situation, Professor Keltas, who hadn’t opened his mouth even once until now, stepped forward.

“The Swordsmanship Department professors still seem to have not come to their senses.”

It was a strong statement from the start, but it was too early to panic.

“Let me ask once. What kind of kids these days assault someone to the point of unconsciousness, feed them a potion to recover, then beat them again? Repeating this several times?”

“….”

“Reconciliation. If you were in their shoes, could you maintain your sanity when your children came home beaten like that? Reconciliation? Even burning them alive wouldn’t be enough.”

Professor Keltas was addressing each of the words the Swordsmanship Department professors had just uttered.

“The Swordsmanship Department students were injured instead? There’s something in this world called self-defense. Being beaten for no reason and driven to the brink of death, then trying to cover up wrongdoing because they bit back a little—what a disgraceful display.”

“Professor Keltas! Watch your words!”

Professor Esteranza, unable to bear it any longer, shouted angrily, but Professor Keltas only snorted.

“It’s quite amusing to see people discussing when they don’t even know what they should be careful about right now.”

Professor Keltas thought to himself.

‘He’s made up his mind to destroy them thoroughly.’

His student, Dane Sogress, seemed to have a decisive personality, though he didn’t appear to be a political type.

“Tell the perpetrator students this: if they want to live, prostrate themselves flat and do whatever it takes. Do as told when ordered, lick when told to lick, die when told to die.”

“What does that….”

“Don’t you understand the meaning of these words yet?”

“The accuser is Dane Sogress.”

But to volunteer as an accuser like this….

It meant he intended to completely annihilate those perpetrators, even borrowing his family’s backing.

“…!”

“Dane has made up his mind too. That he won’t end it at his own level.”

In this Empire, to fall out of favor with a great noble, especially when the accuser was someone who had earned the Emperor’s trust….

It would be tantamount to the families being ruined because of their children’s foolish acts.

“So instead of thinking about defending them half-heartedly, it would be better for your well-being to prepare to beg together.”

Professor Keltas’s additional words froze the entire conference room.

“Don’t the Swordsmanship Department professors know? How cold and cruel Count Sogress was on the battlefield.”
