Reincarnated as a Legendary Talent Genius of a Noble Family Episode 63

 

 

 

32. Summoner Special Admission (2)

 

 

When I think about it, I wasn’t given any time that could be called ‘exam preparation.’

Whether the dessert effect was too powerful or not, the association people came the very next day.

Well, that doesn’t worry me though.

Preparing wouldn’t change anything, and wouldn’t it be more difficult if I experienced the confusion of what I prepared not appearing?

My previous life was a series of variables.

Though I lived in the stagnant space called the battlefield, what I faced on the battlefield were enemies that exceeded my expectations every time, terrible supply situations, and life-threatening elements.

“Answer the call.”

Therefore, I wasn’t nervous.

I was just a little surprised.

“Krwaaaaaaak!”

I wondered if the special admission exam was on such a large scale.

I remember seeing it in the summoned beast encyclopedia.

3rd grade summoned beast Antares.

“Krrrrrrk….”

Just its height alone is 4 meters.

Left and right, six people would have to line up to barely match its width.

A lion-like mane and strong teeth, and it walks upright like a human with strong claws that look like they’d take your head off the moment they touch you.

A summoned beast with no particularly special abilities, but classified as 3rd grade simply by that bulk and strength alone.

Ah.

Now I understand.

The reason Little Sister worried I might be harmed in the adults’ fight.

“You’re a ‘genius,’ so this level should be fitting, don’t you think?”

Elgard was saying that to me.

“Subdue that fellow, Antares, by any means.”

He was telling me to accomplish something impossible.

“This is the special admission exam I’m giving.”

I stared intently at Antares.

Snorting and breathing heavily, it was ready to rush in and tear me to shreds the moment the order was given.

“There won’t be any very dangerous situations, so don’t worry. I’ve put all the safety measures in place. Well, it’s the ‘talent’ that the two professors praised until ink overflowed, so there’s no big worry.”

The way he shrugged his shoulders as if this was nothing made his intention so obvious that I almost laughed.

I could also see Professor Delfineso’s expression. Naturally, it wasn’t good.

Well, it is an impossible thing.

In normal cases, that is.

“Ah, of course if you want, you can give up now. Then you won’t be able to take the special admission in the future, and you’ll have no choice but to wait until the regular exam…”

“I’ll take it.”

I’m a little different.

“Good.”

Because while my current talent is talent too…

I have the memories of my previous life intact.

Crack.

I opened my subspace.

And I drew out the short spear that Father gave me as a 7th birthday present.

“Krrk!”

Whether reacting to my spear, Antares emitted a ferocious aura.

“A spear? Ah, that’s right. You’re Count Sogress’s bloodline.”

Elgard looked at me as if it was nothing special, but.

Wooooong!

When I drew up my mana, his expression changed a little.

Of course, he probably wouldn’t think that just drawing up some mana would do anything to Antares, the 3rd grade summoned beast before my eyes that even decent knights couldn’t handle.

But I’m different.

The me from my previous life rolled around the battlefield for over 20 years…

And naturally, I had faced countless summoned beasts as well.

“Krwak!”

I dodged Antares charging in a straight line by jumping to the side, and simultaneously struck its shin with my spear blade.

My wrist twisted for a moment, but the effect was definite.

Kwang!

It tumbled at the same speed it had been charging and crashed into the floor.

To think assassin training would be useful to this extent.

Momentarily concentrating mana on a part of the body and explosively releasing it was something Mother taught me for swift ‘assassination.’

Though I never imagined I’d use it when dodging Antares’s attack.

Amidst the rising dust, all around was quiet.

“My goodness.”

And the voice that broke through that silence was Professor Delfineso’s.

“Wh, what was that just now?”

I could also see Professor Temerik’s face with his mouth agape, as if he had just arrived.

At some point, besides the evaluation committee, several other people had entered the auditorium.

Students who appeared to be from the Summoning Department.

And when did he come… even Professor Keltas was there.

Quite an audience?

“Krrrrrrk!”

Then Antares got up.

Anyone could see it was enraged.

Blood was flowing from its shin, but the wound didn’t look deep.

My wrist was also slightly sore, but whether protected by mana, it wasn’t to the point where I couldn’t fight.

“Good.”

I aimed my spear at it again.

Then Antares, perhaps excited, approached step by step, then instantly kicked off the ground and closed the distance with me.

And-

Crack!

The moment it tried to pounce on me, I also kicked off the floor with mana and barely dodged its claws.

Stab!

And I stabbed Antares’s side with my short spear.

“Kraaaaaaak!”

A cry that rang out with a high scream.

At the same time, I demonstrated mana point explosion.

The technique Father showed me, concentrating mana at the spear tip and bringing it to explosion.

Boom!

Flesh burst out and a scream higher than any I’d heard so far erupted.

“Krwaak!”

At the same time, claws came flying.

“Kyaaak!”

“D, dodge!”

But I had already pulled back.

Cleanly abandoning the short spear.

“Hehe.”

Laughter echoing from somewhere.

Probably Professor Keltas’s, right?

“Kraaaak!”

Antares pulled out the short spear lodged in his side and threw it far away.

Incredibly tough.

To be able to stand and walk even with his side torn open.

Clang!

Sorry to Father, but sometimes you have to cleanly abandon your weapon.

That’s how I’ve fought on the battlefield.

Instead, I opened my subspace again and this time pulled out a sword I had roughly grabbed when leaving the family house.

“Huh, a sword?”

What I just heard was probably the voice of the committee chairman who summoned that Antares.

Unlike before, it was a voice tinged with strange tension.

A sword.

If you asked me now which I’m more familiar with compared to a spear, I couldn’t answer easily, but one thing is certain.

With my talent for swords, I rolled and rolled again on that fierce battlefield for over 20 years.

“Kraaaaaaak!”

Antares charged at me.

This time I didn’t dodge and collided head-on while gripping my sword.

 

 

“Kyaaaak!”

Screams erupted from among the students watching Dane’s special admission test.

That’s insane.

Because their physical body strength itself is different.

No matter how much you strengthen your body with mana, facing Antares head-on is ridiculous.

In reality, most high-grade summoned beasts have physical strength far superior to humans—incomparably stronger.

Even with safety measures in place, that’s insane. Definitely insane.

Professor Delfineso instantly drew up mana and prepared for forced reverse summoning.

Even though it’s a 3rd-grade summoned beast summoned by the chairman, he should be able to block it to some extent.

And just as he was about to release the gathered mana.

“Just watch.”

Someone’s voice from beside him caused Professor Delfineso’s mana to waver momentarily.

In that moment—

Swoosh!

A spray of blood erupted in the air.

“Good heavens.”

But Dane was alive.

And he was perfectly fine, having passed by Antares in a completely intact state, holding his sword in a striking pose.

“As expected.”

And again, a voice from beside him.

“Professor Keltas?”

It was Professor Keltas, who was supposedly hard to see.

Professor Delfineso’s eyes widened.

Then Professor Keltas pointed at Dane as if to show off.

“Seems like you should have summoned a stronger beast?”

That voice reached the ears of one person sitting right in front.

Specifically, Chairman Elgard, who wanted to deny what he had just witnessed.

‘Wh-what is this…?’

Cold sweat flows.

He was too late to act for a moment.

Because Dane charged forward so confidently, he found himself spacing out without realizing it.

Fortunately, it seemed the attack was successful, but…

“Kraaaaaaak!”

If that student Dane Sogress had been torn apart by those claws.

He might have spent his life being hunted by the Sogress Count House.

And he couldn’t believe Dane’s skill in colliding head-on with Antares and even injuring it.

14 years old.

No matter how much of a genius…

‘Does that… make sense?’

Naturally, Elgard had come with the intention of failing Dane. The ridiculous test of subduing a 3rd-grade summoned beast was proof of that.

But Dane far exceeded expectations—

“Kruk… kruuk…”

While Dane was perfectly fine, Antares was now bleeding from his shin, side, and chest.

“To think he could blend magic with swordsmanship in such a short moment…”

Meanwhile, Professor Keltas muttered in a daze.

At those words, Elgard’s eyes lit up.

That was right.

He had outstanding talent not only in summoning arts but in other areas as well.

‘I absolutely… must bring him to our department.’

‘Swordsmanship and magic, how interesting. It would be even more rewarding to teach?’

The watching professors had such thoughts.

“Does that make sense…?”

“Thank goodness he’s not coming to the Summoning Department…”

“How can he fight Antares like that?”

The students denied reality.

Anyway.

“The sword handles quite well. Is it because mana is infused?”

Dane, the cause of all this amazement, was peacefully examining the blade when Antares tried to charge again, so he extended his hand.

And.

Whooom!

Three spears made of mana appeared in the air.

2nd Chain-level magic, ‘Mana Spear.’

Both the casting speed and size were excellent.

Likewise, absolutely unbelievable skill level for a 14-year-old.

“Kraaaak!”

And the mana spears struck the charging Antares’s body forcefully.

Thoom.

Antares finally fell to his knees.

“Hah…”

Sighs erupting from all directions.

An unbelievable sight.

Spear Arts.

Swordsmanship.

Magic.

Not only did he show talent greater than decent geniuses in each field, but he used them all to subdue a 3rd-grade summoned beast.

“Phew.”

But there was still one thing left.

His talent as a Summoner.

Dane reached out his hand toward Antares, who was kneeling on one knee and breathing heavily…

“Answer to my power.”

Finally, he created a link and connected it to his own body.

It wasn’t submission like during the Autonomous Department entrance exam, but he had formed a Forced Link so that no more hostility could be displayed.

Even this time, it was accompanied by ‘Subjugation’.

“…This is unbelievable.”

Professor Delfineso watched Dane’s tremendous talent that exceeded even his imagination and suddenly thought.

Galderan.

The last Summoner who could call forth Summoned Creatures Beyond the Horizon.

Could he be his reincarnation?

In the midst of this.

Thud!

Finally, Antares completely knelt his last remaining knee.

It was proof that he had been perfectly subjugated by Dane—

And above all, it was a perfect performance that left no room for criticism.

In other words.

‘He passed…’

He had passed the test.

“Do I need to subjugate him more?”

Then came Dane’s question.

At the sight of Dane asking calmly without a single wound, Elgard declared as if squeezing out the words.

“…You pass the test.”

He tried to appear composed, but contrary to his will, his voice was trembling far too much.

It was truly an unbelievable occurrence.

But since he had presented an unreasonable test without thinking of the consequences—

“Chairman. The test is finally over.”

A test was waiting for him as well.

“But you went a bit overboard.”
