Chapter 489: Reincarnated as a Genius of the Most Talented Family
345. I will work hard.
In fact, Elgran admitted him under the premise that he would learn magic.
The guy’s talent for magic was quite considerable.
To be exact, the flow of magical power that ripples through the body is different.
In terms of talent alone, is he similar to Althur?
“How did I… … learn magic?”
However, the guy just stuttered at my words, as if it was a story he had never imagined.
So I made it brief.
“It’s not difficult. You just need to study the basic theory.”
“… … I’m in the swordsmanship department.”
“Then try learning it. If you’re interested and have the aptitude, you can transfer to the Faculty of Magic.”
Elgran looks confused.
It might be difficult to accept.
If you approached a guy who had been wielding a sword his entire life and told him that he had a talent for magic and that he should learn it, who would believe you?
So I hired an instructor who would make it fun.
Althur, who was absent-mindedly working at Matap, was caught up in it.
“Just teach the basics, just the basics.”
“really?”
“Yeah. As a trait. Since you’re going to the magic tower anyway, you’ll have to do a student teaching internship. I think I’ll do it while I’m at it.”
“Are you really a gangster?”
“Ten thousand gold coins.”
“I will do my best.”
This also solves the instructor problem.
I pointed to Althur to Elgran.
“Just learn the basics first. I’ll teach you the theory of magic and even teach you how to arrange 1st-level magic.”
“Ji, can you really do that?”
“Why, is there a problem? Oh, it is a difficult problem to do it in parallel with swordsmanship.”
“No… … Other than that… … I’m from the swordsmanship department… … Is that okay?”
Elgran mumbled with an extremely bewildered expression, and I snickered.
“What should I say again?”
“huh?”
“Hey, do you see that girl with the weird hair color? Leila?”
“Uh, um.”
“He’s also a swordsman.”
“I know that, but that person… … No, isn’t that person Termion?”
“So what?”
“huh?”
“The important thing is that you joined the romantic club.”
Elgran looked at me blankly.
I smiled and patted the guy on the shoulder.
“See you later. I wonder if anyone from the swordsmanship department is messing with you.”
He looks like he can’t believe it, but he’ll find out soon enough.
“Anyway, since you’re here, do your best. Althur, check to see if this guy has any talent for magic.”
“I’m not a professor.”
“Should we definitely lower it to 5,000?”
“No, I will try my best.”
By the way, Althur is a guy whose goal after getting a job is to rebuild his poor family.
In that sense, it would probably be difficult to refuse a large sum of money, say 10,000 gold coins.
Well, even if it wasn’t something like that, he’d be willing to help out since it’s club work, but even so, it’s useless to use his labor for free.
Anyway, I left Elgran with Althur… … .
“It’s as expected there.”
I nodded as I noticed Wendell following behind Ernest.
“So? Huh? Aren’t you sketching now?”
“I won’t do it! No, I won’t do it! I’ll go on an adventure and do it!”
“What a pity. I came in here because I wanted to see that. Then what should I do?”
“Hey, there’s Dane. Ask Dane. Dane!”
I had no choice but to respond to Ernest’s desperate plea for help.
“Why, what’s going on?”
I pretended not to know, went over to ask, and Ernest spoke to me with an earnest look in his eyes.
“We’ve got a treasure trove, right? Why don’t we show it to Wendell and let him take a look? There are a lot of things we don’t know about, right?”
“Wendell just got in?”
“… …Wendell will be able to see it well. Right? Right?”
Was teasing this guy this much fun?
I wanted to do more, but I felt like if I did, I would see the guy cry.
“Yeah, Wendell. Are you interested?”
“I’m more interested in Ernest than that.”
“… … .”

It seems like I’m not the only one who likes to tease others.
Well, this one seems closer to being serious than a joke.
“Yeah, well, it’s a treasure. I found some interesting items in the treasure chest at the top of the mountain. But I didn’t end up taking them.”
The expression of regret is clear.
Certainly, there were a few artifacts there that we were unable to uncover.
To be exact, I haven’t received the emotion yet.
“You recognized it right away?”
“I’ll know just by looking at it. Because it’s what I’m chasing. Well, even if it’s not that… … .”
Wendell looked through his belongings and showed me the mark that proved his qualifications as an appraiser.
“Because of this. It’s been a while since I’ve been here, but I’ve been studying steadily. Thanks to my family, I’ve been exposed to a lot of different things and have broadened my horizons.”
“Okay then. Let’s go.”
After a while.
I opened a secret space inside the club grounds that could only be opened by my magic and showed it to Wendell.
“It’s here.”
“A basement? It won’t be easy to store relics because of the humidity.”
“I prepared for that much.”
“okay?”
But as soon as Wendell entered, he frowned strangely and tilted his head.
“I think we need to do more than this. We should lower the humidity a bit, and install a device that can purify the air. And a cooler.”
“cooler?”
“It’s effective to store artifacts made during a certain period in a refrigerator. That’s what our family does.”
Wendell went inside, after telling her very casually what might have been a trade secret.
And then he stopped for a moment and let out a gasp.
“Huh… … Are you guys some kind of treasure hunting club?”
“why?”
“Why are there so many… … ?”
Well, I’ve been on a lot of adventures.
Every corner of the Empire, even to Draenik.
“This… was in the Empire?”
The object that Wendell was just looking at was Drenic, which is an object brought from the secret laboratory of Decanius.
“Oh my god. This is… … something our family has been looking for for almost 50 years.”
That’s in the Habarossa Mountains.
No, was it the base of the demons?
“… … Even if you sell everything you have here, you can buy half of the capital city’s land?”
“Is that all you can buy?”
“Everything… … is it?”
Of course, it is impossible to buy real capital land. It is only a mathematical matter. Is there anything the emperor would die for?
“Does our club have a lot of money?”
“These are things of inestimable value.”
Wendell looked like he had lost his mind.
But rather than greed… …what I found in those eyes was a passion for exploration.
“You’d be a good match for Ernest.”
“huh?”
“Ernest likes that kind of stuff too. He likes it when it comes to adventures.”
“So he has an artistic sense? As expected.”
That may be true, but it also seems like people are interpreting it however they want.
“Dane, can I take a look at what’s here…?”
“However much.”
“really?”
Wendell seemed embarrassed when I answered readily.
“Anyone who is a member of the club can see it. I have to open it for them though.”
“No, but rather… … This is my first time here, right?”
“Then you’re a club member.”
“… … .”
Wendell hesitated for a moment and then nodded.
“Thank you. I’ll just take a look. I won’t take it away.”
“After you finish writing, if there’s anything you like, take it.”
Wendell gasped at my words.
“I, I, really?”
“huh.”
“Really? Anything?”
“That’s what I said.”
“why?”
“You’re a club member.”
“No, but it’s my first time… … .”
“I trust my eyes.”
After a while.
“I’m glad I joined this club… … .”
The guy was impressed.

After finishing all the follow-up work for the club selection exam, I went to see Professor Cross.
“Hey, am I the only professor here? There’s Professor Kelthas, Professor Kelthas.”
“I’ll go see the professor and come back later.”
“… … That’s right.”
“If a professor like that welcomes his only undergraduate student, what good would it do?”
“Since you’re rich, you don’t have any scars to add?”
“Then why are you doing this?”
“You, are you going to come out like that? Touching my sore spot?”
“You were the one who did it first, right?”
After bickering for a while, we chatted about recent events.
Karnas eats fire, and there’s even a club story.
“The guy who used a sword showed talent in magic?”
“In my eyes, yes.”
“Oh, that’s true. It’s not an easy task.”
“It would have been different if I had learned magic earlier. Well, I’ll try to teach you now.”
“It’ll take a long time. If you needed someone who could use magic, why don’t you just pick someone else?”
“But he has something that other magicians don’t have. That’s something that can’t be solved no matter how long it takes.”
“Yeah, I guess you picked something so foolish.”
“And if I help you a little, I can shorten the magic time a little bit. As you know, magic is a battle against time, right?”
“That’s… … .”
I have talent and a magical power that is different from others.
Thanks to that, he must have been able to learn magic several times, or maybe even dozens of times faster than others.
In that sense, the presence of good magical power is of great help in learning magic.
It’s like helping with my magic power.
However, this is something that can be done under the assumption that the guy fully understands the basic theory of magic.
“It’s okay to leave the theory to a trustworthy instructor.”
“Hmm. I see. Well, I guess you’ll figure it out.”
The conversation turned to Drenique. More specifically, it was about mini-golems.
“Ah, that guy you used to wear as an accessory.”
“If you say that in front of him, there’ll be chaos.”
“It suits you very well. It’s also pretty. If it were mass-produced, it would be popular among the nobles.”
“I think you’ll like that.”
Anyway, according to Mini Golem, Dekanius’s research labs are spread all over Drenic.
And if you restore the Mini Golem’s memories there, you can collect the research materials on Dekanius that he wants… … .
“You can learn more about ancient magic?”
“Yes.”
“Huh, I didn’t know you were interested in that kind of thing. Exploration, you know.”
“Exploration? Oh. I’m not interested.”
“What? You said it was ancient magic?”
I showed my sparks to Professor Cross, who was dumbfounded.
An intense blue-white flame.
However, a mysterious light that does not harm the caster or a specific target if desired.
“What matters is whether it’s fun or not.”
“… … .”
“It’s fun, exploring. But it’s not the number one priority in my life.”
“Anyway, you’re a unique guy. If the wizards knew what you were thinking, they’d grab you by the scruff of the neck.”
“With that talent, why on earth are you living like that?”
“Yeah, you punk.”
Well, it’s something I hear all the time, but my answer is always the same.
“There are more fun things to do, aren’t there?”
“Okay. What’s the point of saying that?”
Professor Cross raised both hands, sighed, and asked.
“So, when are you going to Drenique?”
I took a look at the schedule.
The club exam also ended earlier than expected.
I have a little over a week to spare.
Even the first day of classes after the break were lectures by Professor Keltas and Professor Cross.
You can apply for a field trip.
“While we’re on the subject, should we go now?”
