Reincarnated as a Legendary Talent Genius of a Noble Family Episode 91

 

 

 

50. Maybe This Time?

 

 

The commotion caused by the Imperial Investigation Team’s visit quickly died down.

This was because the investigation team, despite coming from the Imperial Palace, didn’t cause any incidents within the Academy or needlessly frighten the students.

The investigation seemed to proceed quietly, and naturally, our club wasn’t suspected of anything.

In fact, it’s only natural that it proceeded quietly since there was no evidence. Something would have to come up for that to happen, but that would be impossible.

Unless Saint Aimar came back alive, it was an impossible task.

Thanks to this, our club could live as if nothing had happened, and I woke up to greet a refreshing morning.

“Ahm.”

Maybe it’s because I’ve been doing so many things lately.

I’m at the level where I fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow.

In my previous life, I frequently suffered from insomnia.

I often spent nights with my eyes wide open, preparing for night raids.

That’s why I hate war.

I hope it never breaks out again.

Though it was where my talent manifested, that’s one thing and the fact that war is terrible doesn’t change.

“Kii… rrrrrr…”

In the midst of this, Karnas’s sleep talking made me chuckle.

The sight of him sleeping with his belly turned up was too cute.

As I was about to gently bring my lips to his belly, I suddenly recalled the scene of Karnas flying a few days ago.

The fellow still can’t fly perfectly.

But he can hover in the air with his wingbeats and then gently land.

Previously, he couldn’t even spread his wings properly, but this fellow is growing too.

“But his body doesn’t seem to have grown much.”

Still, he’s small enough to fit snugly in my arms.

It’s both reassuring and worrying.

“Should I try giving him different food?”

It would be nice if there was someone I could ask about dragons, but I can’t do that either.

At least it’s fortunate that he eats everything without being picky?

“Once he can fly properly, I should try having him hunt.”

Anyway, since Karnas is also growing, I should prepare for hunting around Bonia Forest accordingly.

For now, I checked today’s lecture schedule.

“One liberal arts class in the morning… and Summoning Arts class in the afternoon.”

Professor Delfineso.

I heard from Little Sister that he’s been eyeing me constantly since the special admission exam.

Little Sister speculated that he would ask me to go to the Summoning Association together, but maybe he’ll make an even bigger proposal than that.

Well, whatever he does.

I don’t want to give the impression that I’m fixing my career path yet.

Summoning Arts is interesting, but it’s not perfectly fascinating enough to put everything else aside.

“And after the afternoon class, swordsmanship training… then I can go straight to the forest when that’s done.”

That finishes organizing today’s schedule.

“Karnas, shall we go?”

“Kirik!”

Just as I finished washing up, put Karnas in my arms, and was about to leave my dormitory room.

“Dane!”

Priscilla, as if she had been waiting for me, got up from the sofa in the 9th floor lobby and approached me.

“Good morning, Priscilla.”

“Good morning. I was waiting to see when you’d come out.”

I chuckled.

“I was planning to pick it up today. I’ll teach you how to use it tonight.”

“Really?”

Priscilla was so happy she looked like she might jump.

Could she really be that pleased?

Well, love blooms even on the battlefield.

When people fall in love, they change completely.

“Now I can go out without worrying about being watched! Damn dormitory supervisor.”

I shrugged my shoulders.

The fact that the dormitory supervisor was intensively monitoring Priscilla was already a well-known story.

Of course, with the ‘Illusion Generator Mk.2’ I’d pick up from Big Sister today, we’d be able to perfectly deceive the dormitory supervisor.

“I’m looking forward to it, Dane?”

Priscilla winked with one eye, then asked me as if she had just remembered something.

“Oh, about the Imperial Investigation Team…”

Priscilla asked me in a whisper with an anxious expression.

“There won’t be any problems, right?”

“Yeah. There won’t be any problems.”

“That’s a relief, but… Right now our Theology Department is still in chaos too. Actually, well, if you think about it, the Imperial Palace are like trash anyway.”

I just laughed at her blunt statement.

“What wrong could Saint Aimar have done? Anyway, well, I heard the investigation is also dragging on.”

“Yeah. There’s nothing to be caught for.”

“That’s a relief. Oh, and…”

Priscilla casually asked me.

“What’s your club’s next activity?”

“Nothing’s decided yet, why?”

“Because it was fun!”

“…”

I wondered if this was really the same person who made such a fuss saying she absolutely wouldn’t do it.

“I guess I’m the type who enjoys thrills.”

Well, yeah. That’s fortunate then.

“Then why don’t you join the club?”

“Huh? Really?”

“Yeah. If you haven’t joined any club yet.”

“Great! I’ll do that!”

And so Priscilla ended up joining our club.

Wait.

This means we really have to change the name, right?

‘Magic Summoning Exploration Spear Swordsmanship’ before or after? Or should we insert the word ‘Divine’ in the middle?

“Then from today, I’m also a club member!”

“Right.”

Well, let’s think about it slowly.

What’s important is that a skilled person like Priscilla has joined.

Moreover, Priscilla received divine grace from Saint Aimar, making her divine power even stronger.

She said with her own mouth that she has the most outstanding talent and divine power in the Theology Department.

She would be helpful if anything, there’s no way she wouldn’t be.

And I had already obtained Leila and Ernest’s consent. I casually asked them yesterday or the day before, and both seemed welcoming.

“Good. If there’s ever a need to smash undead in the future, just say the word! I’ll just crack all their skulls…”

“….”

I just hope Leila and Ernest didn’t learn that word choice.

“Anyway, I’m going. Oh, the club room is Room 506. Here’s the key.”

After handing over the spare key, I took the elevator down. Time to go to class.

“Today’s lecture content is….”

Since relying solely on talent without preparing for lectures doesn’t suit my personality, I was reviewing today’s lecture content in advance.

Basic theory and practice of summoning arts.

Of course, I already knew all the content, but there was no harm in reviewing it further.

However, starting next year, I should take full advantage of the Autonomous Department and actively attend upper-level classes.

The Autonomous Department allows unlimited selection of all lectures regardless of department or year level.

“Dane!”

Then I heard someone calling my name.

Thinking there were many people looking for me since morning, I turned my head to see Digron running toward me.

“Huff, gasp. I knew it was Dane! Hello!”

“Oh, hello.”

“I heard the news! Congratulations on passing the special admission exam!”

That was already more than two weeks ago.

But congratulations are still congratulations.

“Yeah. Thanks.”

“Amazing. I can’t even dream of passing the official summoner exam yet… Everyone in the department only talks about you these days!”

Can a person really change this much?

Does he still have some ulterior motive?

His attitude is too timid for revenge.

Thinking of how he screamed at my 7th birthday that he’d kill me, it’s truly a complete transformation.

Well, even if that were the case, I wouldn’t fall for it.

Meanwhile, Digron also casually shared some news about the association.

“You know Chairman Elgard from the Summoning Association who came as an examiner? That person is currently on standby orders. A senior told me.”

“Standby orders?”

“Yeah. Honestly, anyone could see it was an extremely dangerous exam, right? Seriously, even for a special admission, does it make sense to subdue a Grade 3 Antares? Plus, he didn’t actively intervene when you and Antares clashed!”

I tilted my head.

Whatever his intentions, from my perspective, it wasn’t ‘that’ dangerous.

Of course, the probability that the chairman properly knew my abilities was low, but looking at the results, I subdued it without a single injury.

“Anyway, Department Head Delphineso actively protested about that incident, so the association is in trouble.”

“I see.”

Actually, I’m not interested in the politics of the Summoning Association.

As long as they don’t drag me into it.

The problem is I have a feeling someone will try to do just that.

Whether it’s Professor Delphineso or Professor Temerik.

Sure enough.

“Dane. Can I sit next to you?”

“Oh, go ahead.”

With Digron beside me, I was about to focus on the lecture that was just starting when Professor Delphineso, who had entered to teach, looked at me and said:

“Dane Sogress? If you have time after class, let’s have a brief meeting.”

 

 

Professor Delphineso had made thorough preparations.

‘Dane Sogress will only walk the path of a summoner from now on.’

And as a summoner who ‘received teachings from Delphineso Ends’ at that.

She had silenced the bothersome association using the Elgard incident as justification. Having already made the first move with a recommendation letter, Professor Temerik wouldn’t have any reason to interfere either.

Now all that remained was to solidify her position as department head and drive in the final nail.

The tremendously solid nail called ‘Dane Sogress.’

‘Sogress County and a disciple of Tower Master Niryuksion… Strong backing too. This should be enough.’

Professor Delphineso had no intention of stopping at department head.

The Imperial Palace.

Leading the summoning corps there was her dream.

The place where someone called the Empire’s greatest summoner serves as commander.

She planned to go to the Imperial Palace to succeed him, as rumors circulated that he would retire soon, and all these current efforts were actions to secure that position.

‘If I register Dane Sogress with the Summoning Association, those old men will be delighted to death.’

A sacrifice, so to speak.

A sacrifice for her ultimate advancement.

He had tremendous talent for a sacrifice, but precisely because of that, there couldn’t be a better sacrifice.

‘If only Arabella had moved according to my intentions, this wouldn’t have happened. Tsk tsk.’

Professor Delphineso clicked her tongue, then smiled wickedly.

Imagining the near future made her laugh involuntarily.

“He can’t refuse my request.”

Professor Delphineso added a spoonful of delusion to this.

Since he had even bought Pascal Bakery’s Set No. 1 to score points with her, Dane Sogress must naturally be putting more weight on summoning arts—such delusion.

“It should be about time he arrives….”

Professor Delphineso glanced at her watch.

She had told him to come after finishing up since she’d be waiting, but 10 minutes had already passed.

It seemed like he’d arrive soon.

But as another 5 minutes passed, the department head office door remained quiet.

Professor Delphineso looked at the door with a ‘surely not’ expression.

“Could it be… Set No. 2 this time?”

Professor Delphineso’s expression brightened.

“Oh my, I’m still saving the Set No. 1 after eating just one… Should we eat one together this time?”

Just as she was grinning with delight.

Knock knock.

Finally, the sound of knocking came.

Professor Delphineso answered with joy.

“Come in.”

The door opened—

“Huh?”

The person who entered wasn’t Dane.

It was a school messenger.

“What’s the matter?”

Professor Delphineso’s expression returned to indifference.

She looked somewhat disappointed.

But her expression had to change once again.

“Professor, Department Head. I’ve come to see you on urgent business.”

“Speak.”

“I’ve come to inform you that student Dane Sogress cannot attend today’s meeting with you.”

Professor Delphineso’s face contorted.

Cannot attend?

“What do you mean by that all of a sudden?”

This was completely unexpected news.

But the truly unexpected news was yet to come.

“Did student Dane Sogress inform you of this?”

“N-no, that’s not it.”

“Then what?”

“The Imperial Investigation Corps dispatched to the Academy this time… suddenly summoned student Dane Sogress.”

“…!”

Imperial Palace.

At those words, Professor Delfineso’s face began to fill with bewilderment.
