Chapter 420: Reincarnated as a Genius of the Most Talented Family
310. This will work
My mother listened to my story and reacted very seriously.
“What do you think?”
“I have no intention of becoming an assassin. I certainly have no intention of becoming the leader of an assassination squad.”
As always, I have no intention of being tied down to just one thing.
I’m currently attending the academy and doing various things. However, if I become an assassin and lead the Assassin’s Squad, I probably won’t be able to do anything else.
If that happens, the conversation I had with my father about the position of head of the household will become meaningless.
There, I have to turn my back on everything I’ve done.
That’s not what I want.
Your mother will probably know too.
“Mom doesn’t want you to hide in the dark either. It’s hard to get out once you step in.”
After going through that firsthand and suffering for a long time, she finally got out and married my father.
I heard that it is rare for someone like my mother to become an assassin and then return to civilian life.
Even if it does, it is not completely free from that shadow like Tuva.
“So, I wanted to avoid getting involved as much as possible, and just get help when I needed it. That mark is a kind of token. It’s an oath that you have to do whatever the person with that mark asks.”
“Would you like me to decline that request?”
“It’s your choice, Dane. Think about it carefully.”
After thinking about it for a moment, I asked.
“What kind of item is the Ancient Assassin’s Sword?”
“It’s a very, very old item. There’s a legend that the shattered pieces will come together when a worthy person appears, but no one has yet appeared.”
Mother added one more thing to her answer.
“Dane, without you.”
Now, it’s not particularly strange or suspicious, but… … .
“Is there a reason why it’s me?”
“I don’t know. But what I do know is that the Ancient Assassin’s Blade is something worth having.”
The ancient assassin’s sword.
Depending on what that is, my next actions will vary.
“Is it symbolic?”
“That’s one thing, but what if the fragments were gathered together and placed in the right hands, and they could have some kind of power? According to legend, it’s a power that’s hard to imagine.”
When I heard that it was called the ancient ‘Assassination Sword’, I vaguely thought of it as an invisible blade or something that would help with assassination.
It seems to be somewhat distant from ‘assassination’ in concept.
I asked just in case.
“Have you ever heard of a mini golem?”
[None. The Arcana thoroughly destroyed and buried anything that threatened the wizards. In particular, assassins who did not give the wizards a chance to respond when attacked from the outside were the top priority for eradication.]
Then the Arcana side is eliminated.
Or, maybe it was something that was created after the destruction of Arcana.
“If you’re interested, you can come forward. If not, decline.”
I thought about it for a moment and then asked.
“What do you really think, mother?”
“I just think about protecting my family.”
Mother’s thoughts are firm.
As an assassin, I no longer have confidence.
All that remains is me as a mother, a wife, and the mistress of this castle.
“I don’t mean to block your path, Dane. If you were to obtain that ancient assassin’s blade, it would certainly be of great help to you. And… … there would be no need to become an assassin, or to lead an assassination squad.”
Dekus, and Rune.
These two are said to be the ones who are effectively leading the Assassins at this point.
Since those people spoke, I don’t think they’ll come out and say they’re full later.
Even so, there’s no way I’d listen to you.
“Do you know a guy named Brandt?”
“I was an apprentice when I was there. To be exact, I was one of the most outstanding candidates.”
What followed was a bit shocking.
“There is a final hurdle to becoming an assassin. That is, to assassinate one person ‘perfectly.’ In that mission, Brandt assassinated the candidate he was closest to.”
iced coffee.
That’s what kind of guy he was.
At least I won’t have to feel any unnecessary guilt when I chase after him and retrieve the remaining fragments.
of course-
“The reason I say this is because Brandt’s skills are that outstanding.”
I don’t think that was your mother’s intention.
But my mother believes in me.
My friends, or maybe even more.
Because he had already finished treating me like a child left out in the water when I was a newborn.
You taught it yourself, so what are you worried about?
“You’ll know once you fight.”
“Mom, do you think our son will be able to do well on his own?”
Anyone who sees this will misunderstand.
My son is going to catch an assassin, but my mother, instead of worrying, thinks that I will do well.
But isn’t that how our family was originally?

The only people who worry about my safety now are my sisters.
“Karnas, you will protect me well, right?”
“Kkuruk!”
And then his mother stroked the head of Karnas, who was curled up neatly on her lap.
It’s a truly peaceful scene.
Who would have guessed?
This is a situation where we’re talking about catching an assassin.
“It probably won’t be hard to track. Brandt will probably be after the fragments, so he might leave some traces.”
Anyway, now is the time to decide.
Are you going to chase after the ancient assassin’s sword and catch a guy named Brant?
Or, should I just rest a little more and return to the academy as if nothing happened?
It doesn’t matter either way.
The important thing is what is more fun.
“I guess this will work.”
I looked at my mother and opened my mouth.
* * *
The assassin’s virtues are patience and waiting.
There’s no need to explain it at length, because assassination targets don’t always move as you wish.
Of course, I’m not here to assassinate anyone.
However, the object of their waiting is something completely beyond their control.
If Dane accepts this job, it will be a huge help both in name and power.
First of all, Brant is a guy who stole the Ancient Assassin’s Blade and ran away without any qualifications, and Dane’s skills are beyond words.
There’s no need to recall the situation from earlier, he’s a genius known throughout the empire.
I heard that he is a boy who enjoys the Emperor’s endless favor.
“Will your Majesty accept?”
“I don’t know. I hope you’ll accept it.”
If Dane Sogres wasn’t ‘Sogres’, I would have brought him back at any cost.
But the problem is that it has the surname Sogress.
The moment they misstep to solve their own problems, the Assassins will be destroyed by Lily Sogress, not Brant.
‘It’s horrible to even imagine.’
If it was a senior he knew, he would assassinate the assassin without anyone knowing.
And I will erase even the traces.
As if it never existed in the first place.
So Dekus and Rune had no choice but to wait and wait.
“If it doesn’t work… … .”
“We have to chase after Brandt, even if it’s just among ourselves.”
As they were talking with such a tense look on their faces, Dane finally appeared in front of them.
It wasn’t like they suddenly appeared out of nowhere, like a shadow hiding, but the two of them were more nervous now than they were then.
Eyes fixed on Dane’s mouth.
“young master.”
Dane said simply.
“Let’s start tracking that assassin named Brant.”
“Thank you… thank you!”
“But please don’t forget the conditions I mentioned.”
“of course!”
They were both jumping for joy.
This is it.
That Brant guy will be caught, and the Ancient Assassin’s Blade will be recovered.
‘The problem is what comes next… … .’
Who will lead the Assassins?
And, in the absence of the Primal Blade, what will the Assassins rely on now?
But, there is no time to think about it now.
If you can’t chase after Brandt and retrieve the Ancient Assassin’s Blade, then your worries are useless.
“Oh, I have someone to take with me.”
Dane’s words brought Dekus out of his thoughts for a moment.
“Who are you going to bring?”
“It will be a great help in tracking.”
After a while.
I could see a boy of somewhat small stature.
“Greetings, Ernest. This is the Assassins.”
“Wow, so you’re an assassin?”
“huh.”
Dekus and Rune were taken aback by the way the assassin and the assassin group were introduced as if they were some neighborhood uncle.
“Hello, my name is Ernest Dylan. I am the eldest son of the Baron Dylan family and a sophomore in the Academy’s Exploration Department.”
Baron Dylan.
Academy Exploration Department.
A self-introduction that I’ve heard but don’t think is particularly impressive.
But can you show off your trembling?
He was brought by none other than Master Dane Sogres.
‘Amazing, even if he’s a genius, is he still a kid?’
It’s the most important thing in the world to them, and they don’t see it as some kind of child’s play.
“Nice to meet you, you can call us Dekus and Rune.”
An assassin must not be famous.
At least outside the industry.
I know it’s a helpless situation right now, but I have to tell this insignificant-looking guy his code name.
‘If only this piece of debris hadn’t reacted.’
Anyway, Dekus asked with a sigh in his heart.
“How does your friend help you?”
“You’re good at tracking. Better than me.”
“yes?”
“To be exact, I find something good.”
What on earth does that mean?
“Let’s go and talk about the details. Where should we start tracking?”
“It’s near the capital. It’s a bit of a walk from here.”
“We’ll finish up and leave in the evening. Get ready.”
Dekus and Rune were hesitant, but eventually they had no choice but to leave.
And the remaining Dane tilted his head while looking at Ernest who looked delighted.
“Is chasing an assassin that exciting?”
“Every new experience is an adventure to me. When in my life have I ever been associated with the Assassins and chased after an Assassin?”
“That’s really positive.”
Every new experience is an adventure.
I think this is the essential mindset and virtue that an explorer must have.
“By the way, all I have to do is find that assassination knife?”
“To be exact, we’re looking for the assassin who ran away with the assassin’s sword.”
“Hmm. I guess it won’t be dangerous since you’re here, Dane.”
That endless faith.
Well, it’s a belief I brought upon myself.
“What about the other kids? Will they be upset that I didn’t take them?”
“I’m sure you’ll have fun playing around.”
Ernest also agreed with Dane’s nonchalant remark.
“Well, they’re excited. I heard some of them are staying in the south.”
“Then that’s good. We’ve finished what we originally set out to do.”
“Why don’t you guys just play around and then meet at the academy when school starts? This is the first time I’ve had such an exciting vacation.”
Looking back, it was a truly fulfilling vacation.
There, he chases the assassin to Hwalongjeomjeong.
We’ll have to wait and see if it really is the Hwa-ryong-jeom-jeong.
“But what on earth is that ancient assassination sword? Is it some kind of dagger?”
“I don’t know exactly, but I hear it has a lot of symbolism and great power.”
“Immense power?”
Ernest tilted his head for a moment at those words, then spoke as if it were no big deal.
“Even so, will Dane have the power you have?”
hmm.
That’s not wrong.
Unless that ancient assassin’s sword is some kind of ancient magical condenser.
“Well, it’ll be fun to find it.”
So before school started, another adventure was about to begin.
