Reincarnated as a Legendary Talent Genius of a Noble Family Episode 55

 

 

 

28. It Works?

 

 

Throughout the lecture, I could feel Professor Temerik’s gaze on me, but I deliberately didn’t pay attention to it.

Rather, I found it quite impressive watching Professor Temerik flustering around.

“Um, Pro-Professor. I’m sorry, but I think you’ve already explained the same part five times now.”

“Ahem, ahem. Well, that’s for emphasis…”

It’s probably because of me.

I heard he was so strict, but if I tell Little Sister about this, she might be quite amused.

Anyway, with this I’ve secured a promise for a recommendation letter from Professor Temerik.

I wonder if the other one will be Professor Delfineso?

Well, let me think about it slowly.

“Then, I’ll end the lecture here.”

Professor Temerik practically fled from the lecture hall.

After that, the reaction was quite heated, and after the lecture ended, I received attention from quite a lot of fellows.

Summoning Department freshmen casually approached me to talk, and some openly showed interest in me. Among them was even someone who claimed to be the president of the Summoning Department’s student association.

“I’ve heard of the Sogress County’s reputation, but this is truly amazing. Another genius has been born. I hear you also have talent in Spear Arts and magic? So what I’m saying is, if you’re thinking of fixing your major to the Summoning Department in the future…”

Of course, I quite skillfully expressed my refusal and left the place.

If it were another department, I would have flatly refused and just ignored them, but considering Little Sister’s reputation, I couldn’t be too harsh.

“Kirrwook…”

In the midst of this, Karnas opened his eyes in my arms.

Amazing fellow.

He fell asleep not long after the lecture started and only now decided to wake up.

Well, when they’re young, they mostly sleep all day long.

“Kirrok, kirrok.”

Anyway, he seems to be hungry.

I was about to take out some pieces of meat I had brought in my subspace, but changed my mind.

According to Little Sister, there’s a shop in the Central Plaza that sells summoning supplies.

Among the supplies, they also sell food for the purpose of raising affinity with summoned beasts, so I should look into that.

I wonder what this guy wants to eat.

Seeing him chew and swallow meat from his first day of birth, he doesn’t seem like an ordinary fellow.

Should I have asked Little Sister about summoned beast food too?

But what could it be.

“Karnas, would you go inside for a moment?”

I temporarily sent Karnas into my arms because of the presence of a stalker who kept getting caught by my sensing ability.

Then I turned around and retraced my steps, stopping in front of a large trash can.

“Who is it?”

No answer.

Of course there wouldn’t be.

If it was a fellow who would answer right away, he wouldn’t have secretly followed me from the lecture hall all the way here and then hide like this when I noticed.

Eventually I delivered an ultimatum.

“If you don’t come out, I’m going to blow this thing up?”

A desperate voice could be heard.

“I, I’ll come out!”

And the fellow who appeared was…

“Who are you?”

A fellow whose face looked strangely familiar.

I’ve seen him a lot somewhere.

But I can’t remember well.

“Don’t, don’t you recognize me?”

“I’m not sure.”

I tilted my head.

Then the fellow made a tearful face and shouted.

“It’s me! Digron Tiren!”

Only then did I realize who the fellow was.

“So you’re that fellow from back then.”

“How, how could you forget me?”

Seeing the fellow about to cry was absurd.

“Not really, I might not remember well.”

“That’s too much…”

But was this guy always like this?

Originally he looked very sharp and spiteful.

Now he looks very pitiful.

Did he suffer a bit after that?

I haven’t heard any news separately, and I didn’t bother asking Father about it.

I had completely forgotten about it after that day, and only remembered again when I summoned Gendpu this time.

“…So you ended up entering the Academy after all.”

I looked at the fellow for a moment and asked.

“What do you want.”

Digron was trembling quite a bit.

“Why did you stalk me? I may have forgotten and lived on, but you and I wouldn’t be on good terms, so maybe revenge?”

That’s the only reason I can think of.

I may have forgotten, but it would be a bad relationship for him, so the only stalking motive I can think of is revenge.

But a completely unexpected answer flowed from Digron.

“Re-revenge! No way! Of course, it was a bit hard and difficult after that, and Father resented me a lot… but I’m not stupid enough to mess with a Sogress County heir again!”

His intelligence has increased since then.

Well, even back then, if he had known beforehand, would he have picked a fight with me and screamed to be killed?

“Then what is it?”

But questions still remain.

Then why did he come?

“I, I wanted to apologize…”

“I already received an apology back then. I forgot about it.”

Of course, if he picks another fight, I’m planning to properly pay him back considering what happened back then too.

“Then, then I can attend the Academy like this, right?”

Huh?

I quietly stared at the fellow who asked an incomprehensible question.

Maybe because I didn’t give any answer, the fellow’s voice became even smaller.

“Please… I’m reflecting on what happened back then and truly regretting it. I won’t cause any trouble and will absolutely not harm you and attend quietly…”

The sight of his hands trembling was quite pitiful, but I still didn’t answer.

I was thinking about whether this fellow’s words were sincere.

Wait.

But this fellow, he was in the Summoning Department, right?

“Do you really regret it?”

“Yes! Really!”

“Then let’s go to the summoning shop together. I’m trying to buy some necessary things, and since you’re in the Summoning Department, you’d know well, right?”

“Of course!”

The fellow nodded and suddenly took the lead.

“This way! I’ll guide you!”

I chuckled at his enthusiastic appearance.

I don’t know how long it will last, but have I gained a fellow who will unconditionally grant any request of mine?

Naturally, I still don’t trust the fellow.

Regardless of whether he’s sincere or not, he’s the fellow who was ordered to kill me. Naturally, there’s no way I’d trust such a fellow again just because he apologized a few times.

Is he doing this to get Gendpu back?

Well, I’ll never give it back anyway.

“But you’re really amazing. Even one talent is incredible, but you have two more on top of that and entered as an autonomous major…”

Digron talked to me the entire way.

I don’t know if he was trying to avoid awkwardness or trying to win my favor, but my answers were all just “yes” or “no.”

But the fellow didn’t give up and continued talking.

“Oh, the shop we’re going to now is called , and it’s a place you’ll have to visit frequently whenever you take classes from now on, so it’s good to remember it. It’s a place jointly established by two graduate seniors named Eus and Boden, and it’s already been over 30 years…”

Thanks to this, I seem to be accumulating some knowledge here and there.

Meanwhile, Digron and I arrived in front of the shop.

Inside, I could see a few students and a shop owner with a listless expression sitting with his arms crossed.

“Right here!”

“Oh, it seems right.”

“What do you need by any chance? I might be able to help! No, instead of this, if you tell me what Summoning Department lectures you’re taking, I’ll tell you all the supplies you need accordingly!”

Watching the fellow beat his chest as if telling me to trust only him was almost tearjerking.

“Feed.”

“Huh?”

“Feed to give to a summoned beast.”

Perhaps it was an unexpected answer, as Digron was a bit flustered but soon made an expression telling me not to worry.

“I know about that! I was in charge of guiding freshmen’s affinity training when I was a sophomore. I’m well-versed in feed!”

That worked out well.

“What kind of summoned beast are you trying to build affinity with?”

“Wyvern.”

“Right. If it’s a wyvern, I… Huh? Wy, wyvern?!”

Wyvern.

It’s a 3rd-grade summoned beast, so it’s understandable he’d react like that.

Of course, I don’t know since I haven’t tried it yet.

It’s just because that fellow Karnas resembles a wyvern.

Unless I’m crazy, there’s no way I’d reveal my real purpose to such a fellow.

Since they look similar, I figured they’d eat similar things, so I just made it up.

“My, my goodness. You already know how to handle wyverns…”

“It’s a secret.”

“Then! Trust me!”

By the way, I plan to tell this lie only to this fellow.

So if it leaks out, it means this fellow spread it.

“But it’s a wyvern, but it’s a baby wyvern.”

“Huh?”

“So, do you know feed that a baby wyvern could eat?”

“A baby wyvern… Hmm. Then it would be good to feed it mainly liquid feed, but as far as I know, wyverns have quite good appetites from when they’re babies, so they start eating meat after just a week.”

Indeed.

Since Karnas is even more than that, it wasn’t strange that he ate meat from the day he was born.

“Then, um, liquid feed with concentrated nutrients and dry food would be good. After all, they need to eat a lot when they’re young.”

“Then that should work.”

“Good! Then let’s go inside. I’ll show you directly and explain!”

He’s overflowing with enthusiasm.

As we entered inside, gazes were drawn to us. Some seemed to recognize me and whispered among themselves.

Regardless, I focused on the feed Digron was pointing to.

“Here, this is feed with 17 concentrated ingredients! And this is liquid feed, made so you can grind this feed finely and mix it with milk to feed. Buy both and feed mainly liquid feed first…”

As soon as the fellow finished his explanation, I immediately picked up the items.

“Anything else needed?”

“Th, that’s all for now. Is that the only class you’re taking? Then, um, there shouldn’t be anything besides textbooks…”

Looking around the shop, there were quite a lot of items.

Even for me, who has Little Sister as a summoner, there are so many items that it’s hard to know them all.

Among them, there were things that looked like staffs.

Staffs are weapons for mages and summoners.

I heard that by embedding precisely crafted mana crystals at the end of the staff, they have effects like mana storage for emergencies, improved mana concentration, and increased efficiency during spell casting.

However-

“That’s not something a freshman can handle.”

The shop owner’s voice stopped me.

Is that person Eus, or is it Boden?

“Freshmen are always like that. They can’t even summon properly but show interest in weapons first.”

He waved his hand dismissively as if annoyed.

“Don’t touch it carelessly and get your mana drained and suffer. If you do it wrong, you won’t be able to do anything all day.”

There was already a warning sign in front of the staff.

 

[Warning, do not touch out of curiosity. Especially freshmen. The shop is not responsible for incidents caused by touching. -Eus and Boden Store-]

 

It seems there were many cases where things went wrong from carelessly touching the staff.

Digron also stopped me from the side.

“Dane. Staffs can usually only be used when you’re a 4th-year undergraduate. Just touching it will drain all your mana!”

What a fuss.

Is it that dangerous?

But since they’re telling me not to touch it, I’m more curious.

“Shouldn’t we call the Academy emergency team?”

“Look. Isn’t that him? That really famous kid.”

Whispers could be heard from around us.

“Hey, freshman. Put it down quietly and look at other items like a freshman should. The toys for you guys are over here.”

The shop owner also chuckled while looking at me, but-

“… Dane!”

I brought my hand toward the staff without hesitation.

Whooom.

Feeling it slightly absorb my mana, I lifted the staff.

“Not bad.”

The mana crystal at the end of the staff glows blue.

It means it has sufficiently absorbed mana and stabilized.

I instinctively understood why staffs are used.

Mana was gathering at the crystal and swirling.

This would make using mana much easier.

However, my case seems a bit different.

Usually, people don’t even have enough mana needed to utilize this mana crystal, and even if they do, most can’t control it.

In my case-

“I have mana to spare?”

I have surplus mana.

And control is easy too.

Even this doesn’t seem to be thanks to ancient magic power.

As Big Sister had emphasized repeatedly, it must be my talent for mana.

“D-Dane?”

From beside me, I could hear Digron’s surprised voice.

And I could also see the dumbfounded expression of the shop owner, whether it was Eus or Boden.

I held up the staff to show him.

“It works.”
