Reincarnated as a Legendary Talent Genius of a Noble Family Episode 274

177. It’s a Secret Technique

The aftermath of battle was in full swing.

Treatment of the wounded and identification of the fallen were being carried out.

Afterwards, the bodies were gathered together, and a joint funeral was scheduled to be held during the night.

In addition, various tasks such as facility repair work and reinforcement under the wooden fence were being carried out, making the 2nd Outpost truly busy.

And we, who had come with the intention of meeting Leila’s older brother and enjoying some sightseeing in the eastern territory before returning…

Were now staying at the outpost, helping with the work.

“I’m telling you it’s really fine. Please just go and rest. We’ve prepared barracks inside specifically for you guys.”

“Big Brother, how can we do that? Everyone’s moving around so busily like this.”

“Geez, you really don’t listen.”

Leila was right.

The fact that we’re nobles isn’t what’s important.

What’s important is that this outpost needs manpower right now.

And with our strength, we can certainly help with that.

“Oh, you tie rope like this too?”

“Yes. It’s a knot-tying method that’s been passed down through generations in our family…”

“That’s amazing. Hey, hey. Learn this properly. It’ll be useful in many places. Oh, I saw earlier that you can handle traps too?”

“Anyone who’s a member of the exploration noble family Baron Dylan can do it.”

“Huh, kid. You’re quite something for being so young.”

Ernest was helping with miscellaneous tasks like that.

“Uh, uhh! Young Lady, I’ll do that… there’s no need, is there?”

Leila was using enhanced mana to personally carry luggage and move weapons.

And I was…

“Please just tell us! How did you use magic? We were completely blocked at the rearrangement!”

“Right, is there some secret method? I heard you’re Sidrain’s disciple? Dane Sogress. I know that name well. Please tell us the method.”

I was surrounded by mages and summoners who hadn’t been able to perform well in the earlier battle, receiving all sorts of questions.

But what could I tell them?

It’s just something I can do because I’m me.

So I answered simply.

“I’m sorry, but it’s a secret technique.”

At my single statement, everyone looked dazed but soon showed understanding.

“A secret technique… Damn it! I knew it was something like that!”

“I told you so. There are methods that we can’t use even if we know them.”

“Hah. If these guys deploy interference fields again…”

By the way, I had been a famous person among them even before coming here.

“But still, what do you have to do at that age to cast magic of that level? My goodness, to deploy so many simultaneously.”

“How many illusions were mixed in? All those many can’t possibly be chain-level real magic!”

“How do you operate two Eteraks simultaneously? Is there a special method for connecting mana threads?”

Questions that kept pouring without giving up.

At first, I answered them reasonably well, but the responses that came back were all the same question.

“How can you do that?”

Sorry, but it’s difficult for me to help you with that.

I thought about using the ability I gained from the fourth mana concentrate to temporarily share my mana with them, but I soon gave up on that idea.

Still, I understand their feelings.

They want to protect things.

But I don’t have anything I can teach them either.

Instead, there is something I can set up for them.

-Mana stones that interfere with interference fields?

“Yeah. Can you give me the code for making them?”

-I have several prototypes made. Given the location there, immediate transmission is difficult, but I’ll give you the code.

“Is it something I can make?”

-Of course. It’s not difficult. The outpost commander there is Leila’s older brother, right? Try asking him. There should be materials for making them.

Then it wouldn’t be difficult.

-Hmm, with our youngest’s special mana stone efficiency… if we set up parallel installation with power-saving settings, based on 10 units, it should last at least a year. The range will be incredibly wide too.

With this, there won’t be situations where we can’t counterattack due to interference fields.

-But I heard the rough story earlier, will it really be okay? Dane? Don’t you need to tell Father?

“When have I ever told him? I try not to tell him unless it’s something big.”

-That’s true, but… it seems like the scale keeps getting bigger. This time it’s a battlefield?

Despite saying that, Big Sister didn’t seem particularly worried either.

-Still, if anything happens, make sure to tell Sister, okay?

“Of course.”

-Good boy. Our youngest. Then I’ll send you the code as soon as I cut communication. Along with the necessary materials.

“Yeah. Thanks.”

As Big Sister predicted, the outpost had all the materials needed to make ‘interference field disrupting mana stones.’

And when I briefly explained to Owen, I was given quite significant authority.

“I’m Holt Ersen, in charge of logistics. I’ve been instructed to provide everything needed to Lord Dane Sogress.”

Generally, logistics personnel are picky.

Because they get blamed for everything if there are problems with inventory, and they always have to fight with soldiers who want more than the standard amount.

But he immediately brought the corresponding materials every time I opened my mouth.

“I’ve heard of Lord Dane Sogress’s achievements. It’s thanks to you. Thank you for protecting this outpost.”

“I only did what needed to be done.”

It seems I accomplished something bigger than I thought.

Having been provided with a workbench and even barracks, I was making mana stones quite smoothly on the spot.

“Is it because I absorbed one more concentrate?”

Seeing the work being done with even greater efficiency than before, it seems that if I go back and make mana stones, even better items will be created.

In the midst of this, there were people who volunteered to be my assistants.

“Wow! You can work like this too! That’s amazing!”

“Are we really allowed to see this?”

Big Sister was right. She said the mages there would probably show great interest if I worked there.

She even added that it wasn’t anything ‘amazing,’ so it was fine to show them.

“Feel free to watch.”

According to Big Sister, mages’ curiosity isn’t something you can stop just by trying to stop it.

She said that if you don’t let them see, they’re the type who will find some way to see it anyway, so just let them watch.

“Wow, this is revolutionary!”

“This kind of work is possible too! As expected, the world is vast!”

“Hey, it’s not that the world is vast, it’s that Miss Arabella Sogress is amazing!”

One way or another, the mana stones were being completed well.

With just these, there won’t be any more situations where magic or summoning arts can’t be deployed due to interference fields.

And one more thing.

I also took ‘special’ measures in preparation for damage.

“What are you doing?”

“It’s work unrelated to magic.”

“Well, then it doesn’t matter. Good. Very interesting.”

“But you can’t touch them just because you’re curious.”

“Come on, no matter what, we wouldn’t touch installed mana stones. We have professional ethics.”

Anyway, after finding a suitable location and burying the mana stones in places where human hands can’t reach them, this will be finished.

Thanks to genius inventor Big Sister’s operation code, they normally stay in power-saving mode and don’t waste mana unnecessarily.

However, it automatically activates when mana rearrangement related to interference fields occurs in the surrounding area.

It’s a combination of code that only Big Sister can write and special mana stones that only I can create.

Thanks to that, something incredible was born.

“Now then…”

With this, I’ve finished installing the mana stones that weren’t even part of the plan…

Should we slowly head back to the 1st Encampment with those guys?

Just then, Leila and Ernest spotted me and waved their hands.

“Dane, are you all finished?”

“Yeah. How about you two?”

“We’re mostly done too. It seems like the cleanup here is almost finished as well.”

“Everyone was working hard.”

“Right. I never thought we’d get caught up in something like this after coming all the way to the Eastern Territory.”

The two didn’t participate directly in combat, but they still showed composure in their own way and actively participated in the cleanup afterward.

That’s fortunate.

That these guys didn’t have to jump into that hell.

Someday, if such a time comes, they’ll have no choice but to jump in…

But at least not now.

Not yet.

Facing demons during adventures is different from engaging in desperate life-and-death combat where people fight each other brutally.

“Let’s head back to the 1st Encampment for now. Elder Brother said he’s going there too. After that, we’ll see how things go and do some Eastern Territory sightseeing before returning.”

“Is it really okay to do that? With the situation here being like this?”

I shook my head.

“We don’t need to feel responsible. We literally got caught up in this. We’ve already provided plenty of help.”

Those guys probably won’t be able to attack for a while.

Though they preserved their forces, we can use magic and summoning arts again, and reinforcements will arrive soon.

Then the defense will become even stronger, and the Barbarians won’t be able to do anything except guerrilla warfare like before.

“That’s true. Ah, but I’m worried about my brother…”

“He’ll be fine. He seemed like a strong person.”

Though I reassured Leila, not everything was finished yet.

The route where the interference field-generating mana stones were installed.

And even a simple gift to give to Edward.

We need to return after completing all of that.

Though we volunteered to step forward, anything beyond that would be pushing it, and we belong to the Academy after all.

“Do you think the kids will believe us when we go back and tell them?”

“Won’t they believe us? Since they were with Dane.”

“True. But with Dane’s level of achievement, it would be more than enough to make it into the Empire’s central newspaper, right?”

I chuckled at those guys’ exaggerated reactions.

Either way, these guys really don’t belong in a place like this.

“You really want me to report this?”

Benatio, who had disguised himself as a soldier and infiltrated the encampment, mulled over Dane’s achievements he had witnessed throughout the day.

“This doesn’t make sense. It doesn’t.”

He appeared like a hero at the 2nd Outpost just before it was breached, summoned two giant summoned beasts, Eterak, and activated multiple spells simultaneously.

In a situation where no one else could use mana.

Thanks to that, he prevented great sacrifice.

More precisely, he prevented a war.

A mere 14-year-old Academy freshman.

“Now I don’t know anymore either.”

I’m recording everything in detail to find out what he likes…

But when I look at the records carefully, I can’t tell if this is a report or a heroic epic.

“I should record it for now.”

Benatio moved quickly after confirming that Dane’s group had entered the barracks.

His target was the mana stone that Dane had installed.

Since he had to report everything, he intended to record what kind of mana stone it was.

‘By the way, what does he actually like? From what I’ve seen so far… it seems like there are more people who just like Dane Sogress himself.’

Aside from having a status that gets him treated well wherever he goes, he’s someone who makes it impossible not to like him wherever he is.

That’s exactly who Dane Sogress is.

“This is it.”

With such thoughts, Benatio crouched down to examine the mana stone he had just discovered.

A mana stone hidden in an inconspicuous place.

But Benatio had already observed where Dane hid his mana stones.

“Seeing how a bunch of mages gathered around it and kept admiring it, it must be something amazing.”

To find out what Dane Sogress likes, he had to investigate everything.

Benatio mindlessly observed the mana stone and reached out his hand.

Crackle!

“…!”

Then a powerful electric current was generated and flowed into Benatio’s fingertips, instantly electrocuting his entire body.

An indescribable tingling sensation.

‘I didn’t even touch it!’

The damage prevention magic of the mana stone that Dane had installed in advance had activated.

Magic that far exceeded Benatio’s expectations.

“…! …!”

No thoughts came to mind.

His head just went blank.

Trembling all over, Benatio eventually fell backward and collapsed.

The Imperial Intelligence Agency’s ace.

It was the moment when codename ‘Benatio’s’ mission experienced its first ever ‘setback’.
