Genius Gamer, Reincarnated into a Heroic Family Episode 103
Devil (2)
“Have you heard? It seems like competition is starting among the ‘candidates’.”
“Oh, I heard that kid named Kanya was causing a strange commotion?”
“Surely you wouldn’t use your own name to do that?”
“Another candidate would have tried to bury Kanya.”
Arniel’s secret laboratory, a laboratory deep underground.
This place, known as the ‘Estelle Project’, manages and studies Estelle while also selecting students who are suitable for it.
“Ha. Who would do something so stupid? That guy should be ruled out as a candidate immediately. We don’t need any fools.”
“Well, it might be hard to find.”
Since so many people, including a considerable number of students, were involved, it would be difficult to find the culprit.
“So didn’t you say we shouldn’t just accept any candidate and bring them in?”
In fact, the candidates for the ‘Estelle Project’ were not just Kanya and Perta. From the lower grades to the upper grades, they came into contact with many students and helped them grow, and they were all designated as ‘special management targets’ and managed directly within Arniel.
The candidate’s conditions were simple.
He will have a natural talent for magic, be from a small or commoner family and have to rely on Ainglass, and have absolute loyalty to Arniel.
however.
“… … What should I do if there is no one I like yet?”
The head of the Estelle Project team, Rudelena, clicked her tongue and shook her head.
Estelle, a mysterious relic that is said to allow one to make a contract with Calantatis, the strongest guardian in mythology, if one were to collect them all. Ainglass did not want to give such an item to just anyone, so he selected and selected the right person, but there were almost no suitable candidates.
There were quite a few students who had doubts about Ainglass despite their outstanding talent. Kanya, who had dropped down the candidate rankings a while ago, was highly regarded for her loyalty to Ainglass, but her magical talent was disappointing.
“Perta Rendella. Isn’t he okay? There are also quite a few possibilities, such as the descendants of the Menblanc family or the princess of Crucion.”
“Well, even leaving the other kids aside, Perta’s loyalty to Ainglass is quite lacking. Is he acting loyal? … I don’t understand why he even enrolled in Arniel. That guy, he’s strangely unpleasant.”
“There are already opinions from the higher-ups that it would be a good idea to give Estelle to Perta.”
“That’s certainly true. But shouldn’t we try to find the right person until the end? Someone who is completely loyal to Ainglass and also has great magical talent… .”
“So, you instructed the professors to harass a student named Days?”
“I thought he might be a good fit. From what I’ve heard, he’s quite a likeable guy.”
Blind loyalty to Ainglass and outstanding magical talent.
Even his family was of commoner origin, so he was a perfect fit, lacking nothing.
“That’s why I’m suspicious. It’s like the person I was looking for just fell from the sky.”
“… … Then what are you going to do? Even if he doesn’t come out, it’s going to be shit. Sir. Should I just snatch him away? Should I bring him?”
Rudelina shook her head.
“No. There’s talk that Days’s basic magic skills are lacking. Let’s do a few more tests, and when we’re sure, we’ll bring him in.”
As she said that, Rudelina put on her white lab coat and looked into space.
A mysterious blue crystal ball trapped inside a giant glass case.
Just possessing these tiny beads will greatly enhance your abilities, and if you collect them all, you can even make a contract with Kalantatis… … .
“I can’t wait for the day when its true power is unleashed.”
Phagec!
“Kkaaaaaaah!!”
“… … .”
She wanted to quietly gaze at Estelle and lose herself in thought, but this lab did not allow her to do so.
“Another failure?”
“yes.”
Rudelina clicked her tongue as she looked at a wizard who had collapsed with his entire body dyed bright red.
The number of casualties already exceeds hundreds.
All I did was try to uncover the magical truth engraved in that tiny crystal ball.
‘Is it still too early for humans to interpret the dragon’s magic?’
She shook her head.
‘If a contractor suitable for Estelle appears, it will be resolved. Someday, definitely… … .’

Arniel had a rotation system of lectures.
Rotation lectures were a unique teaching method of Arniel that changed daily or weekly, and the purpose was to provide students with ‘experiences’ through various methods such as hands-on experience, observation, and field trips.
The usual magic schools would show students subjects they couldn’t even imagine, or take them to places that no one else could go.
Ancient magic circles, lost runes and ruins, magic conferences and presentations, lost lands of the demon war, etc…
It was a place that most people would not even dream of, if not Arniel.
Around this time.
Harang received a sub-quest after a long time. It was the first quest he received since he put down his sword for a while.
━━━[Sub Quest]━━━
Demon’s Magic Seal
The world’s best magic school, Arniel.
For some reason, the smell of the devil wafts from this place where rising stars unfold their dreams and hopes.
Remove the traces of the devil.
*Objective: Seal or eliminate the Demon Dharma Formation.
*Reward: Partially strengthened abilities
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
At this point, it was almost like foreseeing the future. It was foretelling events that had not yet occurred.
‘This means that Kalantatis’s power is returning, albeit little by little.’
One of the powers of the Dragon King of the Moon, Kalantatis, is the ability to foresee the future.
The story of how the warrior Kaladan foresaw a dangerous event that would occur in the near future and gave a revelation is so famous that it is painful to the ears.

Up until now, Harang had been indirectly benefiting from such powers, but now that Harang had grown considerably, it seemed that the power to foresee the future was slowly returning to her.
‘Ability as a reward. The most primitive, but also the best. By the way, Demon Law Circle?’
How can there be a demonic law circle when the demon has not even appeared in the world yet?
Wasn’t the devil’s existence coming out too suddenly? As I was thinking that, all the grade 0 students gathered in the auditorium for the rotation lecture.
Today’s class was held for about 150 students who entered school this year, so Harang was able to see all the students up to the 10th grade.
There were quite a few famous students not only among the 8th graders but also among the 10th graders, and Harang enjoyed memorizing their faces one by one.
“Now, today we will observe the ancient magic circle that was sealed long ago, and learn how to obtain information about unknown magic.”
The location was the Magic Museum, located on an outdoor site.
This museum, which is as old as the long history of the five great magic families, is said to also record ancient magic from a thousand years ago.
Of course, just because it’s ancient magic doesn’t mean it’s incredibly great or anything.
Just imagine… … the first computer ENIAC.
Its performance is such that it can barely light a single flame by applying a dirty, large primitive magic circle and spells.
It is said that the magicians of that time did not use magic circles, but used magic only with their innate ‘talent for magic’.
“Now, Arniel’s new students. What were the wizards like in ancient times? No need to answer. They were gods themselves.”
The lecturer snickered and pointed to the sky in the museum’s underground auditorium where 300 people were gathered. There, a pure white cloth covered something huge.
“That is a magic circle discovered in an ancient ruin seven years ago. All of Arniel’s students who have enrolled since seven years ago have come to observe this ancient magic circle. I gave them all the assignment of interpreting this magic circle.”
The instructor said with a sly smile.
“However, no student has been able to decipher the identity of this magic circle so far. Can you do it?
That is, can you do what no one else could do?
It was a provocation that aroused a desire for challenge.
It was a childish and primitive provocation, but it was quite effective.
Most students are burning their eyes to be the first!
As the instructor waved his cane, the cloth peeled away, revealing something inside.
“Oh oh…….”
“That’s ancient… … .”
It was a stone slab.
Very huge.
While modern magic circles are perfectly circular in shape, ancient magic circles were made up of multiple layers of ovals with countless runes written all over them.
“What is that……?”
“Ugh, it looks like the handwriting of an earthworm crawling around.”
“I don’t recognize you at all… … ?”
Most of the students who wanted to get the title of first gave up early on. That was because the ancient magic circle was overly complicated and the principles themselves seemed different from modern magic circles.
“It’s so different from the modern magic circle, isn’t it? However, if you look closely, you’ll see that the operating principle itself is exactly the same as the modern one. This is my first and last hint. Try your best, everyone.”
Princess Citrine squinted her eyes and activated [Truth Rhyme].
Flash! Shining golden eyes.
… … Of course, it was difficult to expect any significant effects from such ancient magic.
‘Ugh, I just don’t know? Is it really at the student level?’
Perhaps Harang had some brilliant idea? She looked for him with sparkling eyes.
We haven’t had much of a conversation since that day, but if I had the chance, I would like to have a meal together and talk about that day’s events.
‘Oops, found it!’
She lifted her buttocks to sneak up on Harang, but at that moment, the instructor let out a sigh.
“Oh, student Zelka.”
It was none other than Zelka Ainglass who quietly raised her hand.
When the instructor pointed to him, he stood up with a smile and said.
“I know the answer. That ancient spell means stars.”
“Oh, it’s a star. Let’s continue.”
“The wizards of a thousand years ago used magic by reading the stars. It was a magic that could be manifested entirely thanks to the magical talents they possessed, but they believed that the gods and spirits gave them power. They thought that the constellations were the way to connect with the gods.”
“That’s right. In fact, the ancients were right in their guesses. Even modern saints derive their divinity from the constellations. Although magicians don’t need to do that.”
“So that magic circle… … is a magic to perfectly define the constellations in the night sky. You could think of it as a kind of star clock. I think it’s a countermeasure that ancient magicians, who couldn’t see the sky during the day, came up with so they could use magic even during the daytime.”
Zelka pointed to each circuit and spell of the magic circle and explained its meaning.
“The inverted triangle shape engraved on the northern rake circuit allows the precise measurement of time by measuring each second, while the spiral rune in the east is a magic for recording and visualizing the positions of constellations. By activating it, the wizard can have the constellations before his eyes as if he were looking at the night sky at any time.”
in other words.
“That is a map of the constellations carved by ancient astronomers.”
Zelka’s confident answer. The students looked at the instructor’s lips with expressions full of anticipation.
He paused for a moment to lighten the mood, then clapped his hands and spoke.
“Student Zelka. That’s correct. It’s not perfect, but it’s pretty close.”
Then the students burst into applause.
Some people even whistled, saying, “It’s the Gelka Ainglass.”
“How do you feel about deciphering the ancient magic circle above for the first time in seven years?”
“I’m disappointed in myself for not being perfect. I need to work a little harder.”
“Haha! You say I’m lacking when I’m already better than everyone else. I’m already great. Um, but… … .”
The instructor tilted his head and looked back. Naturally, the students’ eyes turned to him.
There, Days was staring blankly at the instructor with his arms raised.
“Student over there, your name is… … Oh, your name is Days. A world-famous person! The answer has already been given, is there anything else you want to say?”
He nodded and said.
“Zelka Ainglass’s interpretation is completely wrong.”
“……yes?”
The instructor, who had already said that he had the right answer, made a dumbfounded expression, not knowing that such a thing would come out.
“That’s a demon summoning circle.”
