Chapter 560: Reincarnated as a Genius of the Most Talented Family
376. The Genius Boy of the Empire (1)
We decided to go east rather than meet the guy coming from the south.
Because the suspicious points were clear.
This time, it is not a village, but a specific point on the mountainside in the east.
So this time, things turned out well.
There are only two people, me and Benatio.
ah.
“Caeng!”
There was also Torchi, who was trying very hard to become close to Benatio.
“I told you not to do that because you have strong sense of security.”
“You can do it. Come here… … Aah!”
Benatio, who was bitten by Torchi, cried.
“Senior, I’m asking again.”
“I told you I was going to get bitten.”
“Isn’t that too much? Even though we got through that mess together?”
“What are you doing? You didn’t even talk to Torki. Torki, come here.”
“Caeng.”
“Wow, look how well-behaved you are.”
I chuckled as I looked at Benatio.
“Your expression is more expressive than before?”
“yes?”
“There is something like that.”
That guy is definitely changing too.
Anyway, as we headed east, the horse that was given as a gift to Chiron and Venatio ran well.
The guy named him ‘Labo’, which is said to be the name of a friend who died a long time ago.
It’s because Chiron is such a ridiculous guy, but Labo is also a famous horse, so he followed along well.
“Phehehehe.”
And Chiron was just waiting for an opportunity to harass Labo.
But the funny thing is that Labo doesn’t give in easily.
Labo didn’t react much to Chiron’s provocations, or he would snort when he felt he was going too far, which seemed to stimulate Chiron’s excessive competitive spirit.
“You, you met the master.”
“Phuheng?”
Chiron shook his head as if to ask what was going on.
The ride was very comfortable.
Except for the angry call from Priscilla.
-Hey, are you saying you’re leaving me out?
I got this message saying that I was left behind.
But, actually, I’m not angry.
It is merely an expression of regret.
“So if I had asked you to go, would you have gone?”
-No, what… …I meant to ask.
“What are you doing leaving Dorian behind?”
-He’s still at the academy training right now. He wants to get stronger and stuff.
Priscilla has made a great contribution to saving the Opt people, so it is only natural that she would find it difficult to leave.
“Help the other priests there a little more.”
-There’s nothing I can do. But next time, I’ll definitely call you. Got it?
“Okay. Got it.”
And there were guys who were quick with information.
-Dane!
An ear-piercing scream coming from beyond the communication tunnel.
It’s definitely Leila, seeing how tall and sharp it is.
“why.”
-Is this okay?
“Are you worrying about things you don’t normally worry about?”
-But it’s a plague, a plague! I heard it from my father!
Anyway, if you look closely, he’s the guy who pretends not to worry the most, but is actually the one who worries the most.
“It wasn’t a big deal, but it ended well. I’m okay now.”
-Is this really okay?
“That’s right.”
-Phew. That’s a relief.
Yeah. This guy is still a friend… … .
-Just in case, let’s not meet for a while after coming to the academy.
“… … .”
He’s just talking nonsense.
-No, but how did that happen? All I heard from my father was that there was an epidemic and you were there.
“That’s all. The plague broke out, and I was there.”
-You’re funny. What kind of accident did you get into again?

Why does he know me so well?
There is nothing to hide.
“I’ll tell you more details when I get to the academy.”
-Oh, I should have been there too.
“Why, do you think it would have been fun?”
-What’s the fun in that? You’re the only one getting involved in work, so I’ll leave you alone. That’s why.
I looked at Benatio, chuckling.
“There’s one next to you. Benatio.”
-Huh? Is he there too?
“We ended up going together somehow.”
-… … That’s right, he was in the swordsmanship department.
Yeah. It was the swordsmanship department.
I’m not sure what Benatio does in the swordsmanship department.
“When you have time, go to the academy early and have some fun.”
-Now there’s no one learning swordsmanship. Elgran is learning magic, and Wendel is always in the basement.
“That’s true. Then do whatever you want.”
-Should I just go to where you are right now? Where is it?
“It’s far away. It’s the East.”
-… … Really? Okay. See you later.
Oh right.
“Leila.”
-huh?
I tilted my head at Leila’s voice, which sounded strangely expectant, and continued speaking.
“How are you, Brother Delward?”
-Why him?
The voice became cold again.
Delward Termion.
He is Leila’s second older brother and the second son of the Duke of Termion, who has been suffering from wanderlust for a long time after visiting Drenic to treat his mother’s illness.
There was a time when I saved someone from being dragged into a pursuit party by Drake.
If we hadn’t been able to save them then and it was revealed that they were Draenic, wouldn’t there have been a war by now?
“No, I don’t think we’ve seen each other much since then. I was planning to see you when I went to the capital.”
-I don’t know. I don’t go outside the capital, I just wander around everywhere. I heard your father gave up on you too?
Where will that wanderlust that bravely took you to Draenic go?
If even just wandering around inside the capital is a miracle, then it is a miracle.
-You’re not thinking of taking her out, are you?
“No way.”
-Please don’t get upset. My older brother keeps saying that he won’t get married since he’s already living out of town.
Big brother, Owen Termion.
He was dispatched to the eastern part of the country where a local war was taking place, and is living a life that is virtually no different from exile.
It’s no different from exile, of one’s own choosing.
“Anyway, I understand. See you at the Academy.”
-Hey, don’t tell me not to put air in it… … .
“I’ll hang up.”
After ending the call, I took a breath.
Why does this kid keep nagging me these days?
“Well, it seems like Senior Leila is very concerned about you.”
“Anyone can see that it’s just nagging, what are you talking about?”
“That’s what it means.”
I frowned at Benatio for making such strange noises, then changed the code for the communication crystal ball.
“Where else do you communicate?”
“Your Excellency.”
“yes?”
After a while.
-Dane! My friend!
“Your Majesty, how have you been?”
-Hmm. Looks like someone is with you.
“Yes. He is someone I can talk to comfortably.”
-Okay, then let me speak a little more comfortably.
“Understood, Edward.”
-Haha, that’s true. You changed it ambiguously.
I saw.
Benatio’s face turns blue in real time.
“S, no way… … .”
I just nodded my finger to make sure that was true and continued talking.
“Edward, I’m sure you’ve heard the news, but there has been some confusion down south.”
-Hmm. I got a call from the royal family. It seems that a group of evil people intentionally spread the plague?
“That’s right.”
I relayed to Edward the facts I had roughly figured out.
It is a group mostly comprised of wizards, their leader is likely to be a master of arcane magic, and they are ready to spread another plague.
-Did you solve it this time too?
“It is everyone’s strength. If the priests had not helped us in time, the village itself might have disappeared.”
-Your timely intervention saved the South. You are admirable.
I appreciated the compliment, but I hadn’t said everything yet.
“They also have branches in the East.”
-… … What?
“I’m on my way to deal with that branch right now.”
-her.
Edward was speechless for a moment, as if he was shocked.
-Are you alone?
“I have a friend.”
-Can you do it alone? Even for you, dealing with an entire group is not easy.
“Security is the key. If we don’t know where and how they’re going to infiltrate, sending in the military will detect their movements.”
For this reason, I am moving east quickly without telling anyone except Professor Cross and my family.
Because of the nature of the wizard profession, their numbers are small, but it is still difficult to let your guard down.
In fact, there are quite a few people who have talent for magic but cannot become magicians due to environmental, financial, or social issues.
What if a significant number of such people were recruited?
The ability to manifest magic and sorcery, and be able to be anywhere, ‘without registering as a wizard’.
That is, a seemingly ordinary person may already be a member of the organization.
-You’re right. Security is important. Still, I appreciate that you’re giving me this communication.
“I thought it was something you and Lord Owen Termion should know.”
-Well, I’ll tell Sir Owen Termion. This is serious.
Edward then showed a worried look on his face.
-Are you sure it’s okay for you and your friend?
Actually, rather than being worried… … .
I think I want to join in a little more.
“Edward, wouldn’t it be a good idea for you to be away from your seat?”
-… … I can’t hide my feelings from you.
“Maybe we’ll have the chance to go on an adventure together someday.”
-Hmm. I’ll keep those words in mind.
“How long will you be staying in the East?”
-Until I am satisfied with myself. I will return someday and definitely repay your kindness.
“I will keep those words in mind too.”
Edward is probably growing up well too.
It may be difficult to meet you this time, but I’m sure we’ll have another chance next time.
After finishing my communication with Edward, I witnessed Benatio’s dumbfounded expression.
“Why is your expression like that?”
“that is…….”
“Yeah, try making such a rich expression. It’s nice to see.”
“……yes?”
Benatio looked at me blankly and then said something.
“Is it okay to talk like that?”
“So what? His Highness the Crown Prince was the one who asked to be friends first.”
“okay.”
If the other person wants it, why bother being polite and keeping your distance when it’s not an official setting?
Then Edward would be more upset.
“Let’s go again.”
“All right.”
It had been a few days since I had been running east with the dumbfounded Benatio.
The place we finally arrived at was a mountainside in the east.
Maybe it’s because I’ve experienced all sorts of things in the mountains. I feel like I have a deep connection with the mountains.
Benatio got off his horse and looked around first.
“There doesn’t seem to be any trace of human presence near the entrance. It seems like the rangers have either erased it or there has been no human presence at all.”
“It doesn’t matter which way the entrance is. You have to go inside to find out.”
I have a rough idea of the location.
The tracking can begin from there.
The East, unlike the South, is a place where it is difficult to blend in with the crowd. The South is similar, but the East is a place where it is difficult for outsiders to come and live.
Additionally, many regions have become exclusive due to the war, and this also plays a role in their aversion to outsiders.
Since it borders two powers, it is easy for suspicious people to be discovered, so they probably set up shop in the mountains.
“But it’s a little strange. Rangers must be patrolling this mountain from time to time, so how did they manage to hide?”
The Alteon Rangers are beyond words.
This is especially true near the border.
There are many questions, but there is only one conclusion that can be reached.
“Let’s go and find out.”
We finally entered the mountain.
