Reincarnated as a Legendary Talent Genius of a Noble Family Episode 56

 

 

 

29. Right, No One Will Come

 

 

The shop owner, who I still couldn’t tell was Eus or Boden, looked at me with a suspicious expression.

Then he turned his head toward Digron and asked.

“…Digron, who is this kid? Is he really a freshman from your department? I haven’t heard about any freshman like this in the Summoning Department. He’s almost at Claire’s level, isn’t he?”

So Little Sister is definitely known by everyone in the Summoning Department.

Digron looked at me and barely managed to open his mouth.

“D-Dane Sogress…”

“Ah. Sogress. I know. Right, the rumors. I heard the rumors. You’re Claire’s brother, right?”

The atmosphere became quite friendly after that.

“Yes. That’s right.”

“I heard you were in the Liberal Arts Department, but it was true that you passed the exam with summoning arts. Huh.”

The shop owner looked at me as if it was absurd and muttered.

“A freshman holding a staff in this shop is something even Claire couldn’t do…”

Was it when Little Sister was bragging about her staff in her second year, or third year?

He crossed his arms and looked at me with great interest, unlike before.

“You have talent.”

“Something like that.”

“What on earth does the Sogress County teach? How can all three of you be geniuses?”

He, who I still didn’t know was Eus or Boden, stroked his chin.

“A freshman with a staff… Ah, by any chance are you not 14? Did you enter after being a bit older?”

“I’m 14 years old.”

“Damn, why are kids these days so big?”

I am a bit tall.

I don’t think I’ve seen any freshman taller than me yet.

“But which one are you, Eus or Boden?”

“I’m Boden. That bastard Eus is sleeping inside right now. By the way, I don’t sell anything to people who confuse me with Eus for life, so keep that in mind. Damn, how did I end up in business partnership with him.”

Boden, not Eus, glared at the inside where Eus was presumably located. Then he suddenly pointed at the staff I was holding and asked.

“So, are you going to buy that?”

“No.”

“What? You can use it, so why aren’t you buying it?”

“Because it’s cumbersome.”

There’s no particular reason to use it right now.

I’m fine without it.

Of course, I could just keep it in my spatial storage…

“And the mana crystal capacity seems small too.”

If I wanted, I could get something better than that.

If I need it, I can just buy it then.

“…That mana crystal capacity seems small to you?”

But Boden’s reaction was a bit strange.

“It feels small to me.”

“What are you talking about? Do you know how much mana that mana crystal can hold? It would be more than enough to hold the mana of average 5th or 6th year students.”

Is that so?

But it feels small to me.

To use an analogy, it’s like trying to fill a well with a small water bucket.

“Anyway, I don’t need it. I’ll just buy this.”

“Why are all the Sogress County kids like this? Even Claire wasn’t this bad.”

“What was Little Sister like?”

“While everyone gets excited and carries staffs around their 4th year, she alone didn’t carry one saying it wasn’t cool.”

That’s Little Sister alright.

Anyway, I took out some Crown Silver Coins to pay and stored the feed in my spatial storage. Then Boden let out a hollow laugh as if he couldn’t believe it.

“You have that kind of spatial storage too? That’s interesting. It’s easy to open and convenient to take things out from inside. I haven’t seen anything like that.”

I shrugged my shoulders instead of answering and collected my change.

“I’ll come again next time.”

“Sure. Don’t come when Eus is here. That guy’s curiosity is beyond imagination. He’ll probably annoy you a lot.”

That’s worth keeping in mind. I came out with Digron. And soon I could see eyes full of awe.

“You… you really are an incredible genius?”

Why is this guy suddenly acting like this?

“I’ve never seen a freshman who could use a staff before!”

“Is that so.”

The fellow asked with very sparkling eyes.

“Then how far can you summon? Can you possibly do 4th grade or higher? Ah right, it would be difficult since you don’t have a symbol yet. But since summoned beast enhancement is also possible, once you get a symbol, even 4th grade summoned beasts…”

I don’t know since I haven’t tried.

I don’t have an official symbol that can make contracts.

“Do you need anything else? Um, should I show you around our department facilities? Or…”

“I’m going to eat lunch soon.”

“Ah, r-right! Sorry! I was being too inconsiderate. Ha, haha I should go back too.”

I stared at Digron for a moment and asked.

“Never mind the Summoning Department facilities, do you happen to know any Academy dessert shops?”

“Huh?”

“Preferably somewhere that makes good tarts.”

Maybe it’s because I used mana.

I’m strangely craving something sweet.

“A dessert shop… Ah! I know a place!”

“Where?”

“It’s a place called , I’ll guide you there!”

I tilted my head at Digron’s unexpected words.

“I told you I’m going to eat a meal?”

“Ah right… E-enjoy your meal!”

Digron went back with a very dejected expression.

Maybe I should have just eaten a meal together with him.

Well, let’s eat together next time.

By the way, the class after eating is…

“A liberal arts class.”

According to Leila, it’s a professor whose orientation ends in less than 5 minutes, so I should quickly finish and return to the dormitory.

By the way, why are my ears so itchy?

Is someone talking about me.

“There you are! Found you, Dane Sogress!”

Ah, it was these guys.

I lost my words looking at the bodybuilding club guys who blocked my path.

“We’ve been looking for you all day!”

Why do these guys walk around shirtless?

No, did they take it off because they’re in front of me?

I couldn’t bear to watch the writhing muscles anymore and squeezed my eyes shut.

“I’ll say it again. You, join the bodybuilding club! If muscles are added to your natural frame, you can have the most beautiful body in the world!”

Good heavens, his trapezius muscles twitch every time he speaks.

“Won’t you join us in creating a world filled with beautiful bodies? If the genius of Sogress Count House and the top freshman joins us, the world will view these muscles more positively… Oh, wait. It’s time for my shake.”

This guy, I mean this fellow whose name I can’t even remember because of his muscles, suddenly stopped talking and pulled out some kind of water bottle from his subspace, opened the cap, and started gulping it down.

Did he drink some kind of poison?

Why is he frowning like that?

“Ugh… As expected, it tastes terrible since it’s ground chicken breast. But this too is a trial for magnificent muscles!”

I stared blankly at these guys and said a word.

“I’m not joining.”

“No. I’ll follow you around until you say you’ll join!”

Then that would be stalking.

“Dane Sogress, a talent like you not joining our club is a huge loss even from the perspective of all humanity!”

How could not building muscles possibly lead to a loss for all humanity?

“Fine. If you join our club, I’ll even positively consider the next club president position for you.”

Then the guys next to him were shocked.

“P-President! You said you’d give me that position!”

“Y-you said that to me too!”

“You told me you’d give me the honorary president position!”

Do they give the president position in order of stupidity?

“B-besides the president position, I’ll give you priority access to exercise equipment!”

“President! How can you do that! That’s an incredible privilege!”

“Right! It’s a place everyone uses, so how can you give priority access!”

I finally lost my patience.

“I’m hungry, are you going to keep blocking the path?”

“Oh! Then how about chicken breast steak with us?”

There’s no choice.

It’s hard to break through these guys with force.

Then-

“Hey, he’s running away!”

“Catch him! We’re definitely getting him into our club!”

I chose to flee.

I ran toward an alley I could see nearby.

More precisely…

“Huh, where did he go?”

“He definitely went into this alley!”

I used the stealth I learned from Mother’s assassin training.

First rule of stealth.

Assess the situation.

In the alley I spotted instantly, there were three places to hide.

A large trash can.

Behind a stone wall.

And…

The eaves of the two-story building where I’m currently lying flat.

Here’s the second rule.

“Helden, hurry up and detect! I brought Helden knowing this would happen! How many people has Helden detected and gotten to join!”

Hold your breath and suppress your mana.

The world is wide, and stealth is often discovered.

“Helden, what are you doing?”

“I-I can’t detect anything? It’s just us here?”

“That can’t be!”

Minimizing presence and stopping mana flow for a certain time to prepare for detection is also an assassin’s skill.

I was doing that perfectly right now.

And luck was on my side too.

“Helden! What’s wrong!”

“Ugh, suddenly I’m dizzy…”

Helden, who had been searching hard, couldn’t hold on and staggered before collapsing with a thud.

“D-detecting for too long made my head…”

“Oh no! It’s definitely anemia! I told you to take iron supplements regularly! Otherwise you get dizzy when lifting weights!”

“We need to hurry and feed him iron-rich food!”

What complete nonsense… I mean, what crap they’re spouting.

“But President, where did that Dane fellow go?”

“Since he seems to have escaped, let’s call it here for today. But we will definitely get him to join! Let’s resume the search from dinner tonight!”

“Okay!”

“And don’t forget we must stop him if he tries to join any other club!”

The muscle collective left the alley like that.

I recalled what the muscle mass called president said last.

It would be terrible if he joined another club?

Could it be that students who join a club can’t join other clubs in principle?

If that’s true…

“Look at this bastard. Won’t you lower your eyes? Are you crazy…”

“Hey, just beat him half to death. This bastard’s a coward. If we beat him up a few times, he won’t be able to tell anyone.”

“Hey, what do we do? That guy from yesterday isn’t here either?”

Wait.

I listened to the sounds coming from another alley.

“I-I’m not afraid of you guys anymore.”

That’s Ernest.

I’m certain.

That thin, trembling voice.

And the other few are…

“Haha. Hey, did you hear that? He says he’s not afraid.”

“This bastard who’s trembling like he’s about to piss himself… Hey, do you want to die? Do you know what kind of damn dreams I had because of yesterday?”

“You’re dead now. We drank potions, you know? We wanted to beat your ass as soon as possible? Ha, you hit my jaw?”

Aha.

So it’s those guys from that time.

But I don’t see that leader fellow Bron.

The other guys even drank potions and came for revenge, but was Bron too shocked?

“Who wants to go first? We have plenty of time anyway. I checked this alley, and nobody comes here.”

“I’ll go first. Even though I drank a potion, my jaw still aches.”

“D-don’t come!”

“Hey, look at this loser Ernest holding up his fists! Hahaha!”

Without hesitation, I immediately came down from the eaves, jumped over the wall-

“Hello?”

And greeted the guys cheerfully.

“Y-you!”

“H-h-how! You said nobody would come!”

It’s before lunch, so this works out well.

If I exercise a bit, the meal will taste like honey, right?

But look at these things.

I counted the guys with an expressionless face and continued speaking.

“Right. Nobody will come. That’s good, isn’t it?”

I drew up my mana.

He hasn’t directly cast magic on another person yet.

So this would be a good opportunity.

A good opportunity to check the power of Ancient Magic Power once.
