Chapter 532: Reincarnated as a Genius of the Most Talented Family
363. The Covenant of Magic (3)
The key to these types of observation missions is to keep the other person from knowing that they are being observed.
This is a big deal.
It’s done.
Senior Dane probably doesn’t know that he has been chasing him this far.
Even as I was falling, I couldn’t think of anything to say.
It’s not in front of the Academy lecture room or the grounds, it’s completely separate from the Academy, and it’s just the two of us, with no one around.
What excuse should I make?
In the midst of all these thoughts, Benatio’s butt finally touched the ground… … no, it hit it hard… … .
“… … .”
I locked eyes with Dane.
As always, he had a calm expression and showed no sign of surprise, but Benatio’s heart had already sunk as low as it could.
‘ruined…….’
Benatio sat up in a hurry. His butt was aching, but so what.
Benatio scratched the back of his head by displaying the acting skills he had honed while working as a counterintelligence agent.
“Ha… … Haha. I got caught.”
“What are you talking about?”
The indifferent question that comes back.
For a moment, he felt a chill run down his spine and his blood ran cold, but Benatio continued speaking without giving in.
“That… … I also want to go on your adventure, senior… … .”
Where else can you find an answer as perfect as this?
I wanted to go on an adventure.
But since he said he was going alone, I had no choice but to follow him secretly.
‘I’m different after all.’
It was a moment when the improvisation that I had honed as a counterintelligence agent shone.
… … I thought so.
“Is that so? Don’t say anything.”
“……yes?”
Dane was convinced more easily than expected.
This makes me feel uneasy.
Even Dane came closer and put his hand on my shoulder.
“Is that what you wanted to do for an adventure?”
“Yes? That’s… that’s… that’s it.”
“What should I do? I came alone this time. I just finished it.”
“Are you done?”
“I have something to do on this mountain. Didn’t you know?”
It’s like it’s really nothing to do with following someone.
Did you do it knowingly?
Dane said, with a strange suspicion creeping in.
“That’s good. I need to find someone.”
“If it’s a person… ….”
“There’s a person on the other side of the mountain. He has some business to attend to. Let’s go look for him together.”
“Ah… … That. Yes.”
Is this settled?
Lived.
If you get caught chasing someone for no reason and you end up being suspected or hated, and as a result, you fail the mission… … .
‘I don’t even want to imagine it.’
Who is Dane Sogres?
A genius boy of the Empire who has already received much trust from His Majesty the Emperor.
If you attack with force alone, even the strongest of forces will be no match for you.
You can never screw up your mission to find out everything about that person.
By the way, something is a bit strange.
“I… … By the way, Senior. How did you come to this mountain? There’s… … not much to see here.”
Because it is near the capital, Angat Mountain was once a place where rangers thoroughly managed monster populations.
It’s been a long time since the rangers withdrew, judging it was now safe.
All dangerous mountain ranges have rangers dispatched, so the absence of rangers means that the place is safe.
Another meaning of a safe place is that there is nothing to see.
No risk means no risk to take… … .
As an Imperial Mountain Ranger, there’s probably no place you haven’t explored.
“I was just planning on looking around before I came. But that wasn’t the case.”
“Yes? Does that mean there was something more?”
“It was there.”
Benatio accepted the staff that Dane offered.
“This is… … nonsense.”
“Do you feel something?”
“… … What on earth is this thing?”
Come to think of it, it was the same when I fell from the tree earlier.

There was no reason to hesitate, but the moment I looked at this cane, I felt such intense pressure that I couldn’t move my body properly.
Not as much as that time, but I couldn’t properly look at the jewel embedded in the tip of the staff.
It was a black gem… … At least as far as Venatio knows, there is no black gem with this kind of power.
“Hello. I’m a dragon.”
“yes?”
“You don’t believe it?”
“Yes… … ?”
Suddenly a dragon?
A dragon?
“Senior, you even make jokes like this.”
“I’m not joking.”
“… … Hey, still.”
“If you don’t believe it, there’s nothing you can do.”
“Ha, haha. It can’t be a dragon, right?”
Benatio shook his head, thinking that it was nonsense.
What about the dragon?
Since he’s Senior Dane, he must have found something with strange power somewhere.
Hasn’t it always been like that?
“It’s true.”
What is the truth?
Benatio changed the subject to another topic, fearing that strange noises would continue to arise.
“By the way, where did the baby wyvern you were walking around with go?”
“Ah. Karnas? I left you here to educate me.”
“Education. Oh, I see. Something like an academy… Yes? Education?”
Train a baby wyvern?
Are you saying there is some kind of trainer?
I have never heard of a monster tamer in the world.
You said it was a dragon just now, but now you’re taming a monster?
This is a mountain beyond a mountain.
“You’re training a monster?”
“I didn’t know, but I thought it might work.”
“… … .”
The reason Benatio is confused is simple.
Because Dane doesn’t talk nonsense.
What he says is usually true, and sometimes it even sounds prophetic.
Honestly, I don’t know.
This time the scale is a bit different.
Just don’t think about it.
“Ahem. Anyway, so who are you looking for on the other side of the mountain… …Can I ask who it is?”
“A person who suffers because of a dragon.”
The promise not to think about it was broken in an instant.
And then a group of monsters appeared.
“Krrrrr… … .”
“Crunch!”
They are not particularly dangerous, but they are threatening enough when they appear in groups like that on the mountain in the middle of the night.
“I’ll take care of it.”
It was at that moment that Benatio grabbed the handle of his sword and was about to step forward.
Hwaruk.
When I turned my head because my back felt hot, I saw a huge ball of fire floating above Dane’s hand.
“This will do.”
“Would you like to throw more?”
“no.”
Dane snapped his fingers with his other hand, and a fireball slowly flew towards the horde of beasts.
“Wake up!”
“Krrrrr!”
Then, surprisingly, the monsters fled to the other side in panic.
Then Dane scattered the fireball.
“The guys that appear at night aren’t afraid of fire.”
Wouldn’t you do it because you don’t know?
Even though they are afraid of fire, it’s amazing how the guys who go hunting can create fireballs that can make them run away like that.
chin.
Venatio put his half-drawn sword back in his hand, and was reminded of Dane’s majesty once again.
‘Is this a real dragon? And monster training?’
A single flower of trust blooming in the midst of chaos.
It was truly incomprehensible.

Ben really wanted to drink alcohol.
I guess you could say it’s an addiction that came about because I kept drinking and getting very drunk and falling asleep because of that guy’s voice.
But today, I held on tight.
Because I have to wait.
I’m talking about the man who even gave me gold coins.
“Come to think of it, I don’t even know your name.”
I don’t know the name, but I know one thing for sure.
He said that he was a person of great power who no one could dare approach, and that his status was also very high.
Otherwise, you wouldn’t be able to beat up those thugs so easily with your bare hands.
Above all, he is a mysterious person.
What should I say?
Do you ever feel like you’re being possessed by something when you say it?
Anyway, we have to wait.
I could still hear the voice, but something felt right.
“By the way, I really want to drink. I should have brought some.”
Actually, I don’t know.
I wish I could stop hearing that voice, but if that doesn’t happen, I’ll just end up drowning myself in alcohol again.
Otherwise I wouldn’t be able to sleep.
It would be a good idea to settle down in this mountain and live there, but… … I can’t live here now, fighting against monsters.
“Phew.”
Ben sighed and just waited, and waited.
Then, as my eyes gradually became accustomed to the darkness, I could distinguish faint lights and roughly count the number of stars in the sky.
‘Strangely, my voice seems quieter than before.’
The voice that had been ringing in my head all along somehow felt much quieter.
Am I mistaken?
“You were here.”
That was when.
The long-awaited ‘voice’ was heard.
It was Dane.
“Oh, you’re here. You came back quickly.”
“Things are going better than I expected. Oh, and this is my friend.”
“Oh, yes. Hello, this is Ben.”
Ben nodded to the neat-looking young man standing next to Dane.
I don’t know where one of them suddenly appeared, but there’s something more important than that.
“I can’t hear your voice….”
“Can’t you hear me?”
“Yes… … I was definitely hearing it just now… … As soon as you got closer… … .”
What the hell is going on?
It feels like I’m back at the place Dane was guided to earlier.
“Did you… … solve it… …?”
Ben asked with a trembling voice, and Dane shook his head.
“No. I will take care of it now.”
“how…….”
“You will need to pass out for a while.”
“yes?”
Before Ben could respond, Dane’s magical power enveloped his face and he lost consciousness.
Dane skillfully supported Ben, who was about to collapse, and laid him down in a suitable place.
“What are you trying to do, senior?”
“It frees you from the influence of thoughts.”
“Ideology? Is that still the case these days?”
“Yeah. That’s what happened.”
Having said that, Dane now began to speak to the cane.
“Get started. You’d better do it right.”
It was an absurd sight.
Talking to a cane?
I would have understood if I had at least gotten an answer, but that wasn’t the case.
It is no wonder that Benatio misunderstands.
Because the voice of the dragon’s thoughts can only be heard by Dane.
[I will start… …]
The dragon’s thoughts began to fulfill the price of the oath that had brought him out.
In fact, it’s incredibly simple.
As every thought is a thought, the thought left behind by the dragon instantly took back the power that had been influencing Ben.
And Ben’s expression, noticeably relaxed even though he’s passed out.
[Now… … it’s over.]
“Let’s not do that in the future. I’ll block the flow of your ideological power anyway.”
[… … .]
The dragon’s thoughts were silent for a moment, then he added a word.
[I don’t know if this will be any compensation… … .]
After a while.
Something slowly came out of Ben’s body and then disappeared into thin air in an instant.
“What did you do?”
[It drove away some of the bad things in the body… … It’s one of the dragon’s powers… … .]
Dane asked, a little surprised.
“Is it possible even if it is an idea?”
[It is possible… … It would take a lot of mental power… … .]
It is indeed a dragon.
And it seems that the words “repenting” are not entirely a lie.
Of course, we’ll have to keep watching.
[Now… … I have kept my promise… … .]
Dane took his staff back, muttering.
[Now then… … it is time to carry out the next oath… … .]
“Yeah. Let’s go look for that guy named Sionif.”
The dragon’s thoughts were relieved for a moment.
“When the time comes.”
The anxiety that comes with Dane’s added words.
[When… … time comes?]
“Didn’t you say to find it right away when you made the oath?”
[… … .]
“Make sure to check carefully when signing contracts in the future.”
Well, even if you say it like that, you’ll still be nervous every time you go on an adventure.
The dragon’s thoughts, which had been silent for a moment, muttered as if his teeth were chattering.
[I hope you too… … are cursed… … .]
It was a voice of deep resentment and despair.
