Reborn as the Greatest Talent of the Noble Family Chapter 99

I was reincarnated as a famous genius with the greatest talent of all time Episode 99

57. Third core

Candidates for the Duke of Termion’s knighthood are given different numbers depending on their skills.

The rules are simple.

The lower the number, the stronger the candidate, and naturally, the higher the chance of becoming a knight.

In that sense, the fact that Boyan, the 40th candidate, came forward was not a bad balance.

The opponent is a freshman at the Academy.

The problem is that they are not ordinary freshmen.

“… … “I admit defeat.”

40th candidate.

Next, the 34th candidate.

Next is the 20th candidate.

Currently the 15th candidate.

“… … “I’m speechless.”

Lord Asmar muttered absently next to Duke Termion.

“Didn’t I tell you?”

Duke Termion looks like he knew that would happen.

“Candidates are just wasting time.”

“Even though… … .”

Lord Asmar swallowed his words.

Because it is being proven now.

He thought Dane was at best a ‘genius freshman’.

How strong can a 14-year-old be?

Of course, I saw him sparring with Layla before entering school, and I also heard rumors that he was getting quite great results.

But rumors are rumors.

So I thought I had chosen just the right people… … .

“The total cannot exceed the sum of three.”

The 40th, 34th, 20th, and 15th candidates all lost without being able to get past the three sums.

Thanks to this, Dane didn’t show any signs of fatigue and didn’t even make a sound of his breathing.

“… … “That’s crazy talent.”

“Did you say 14 years old?”

“I heard you’re the same age as Lady Leila.”

“I never thought the candidates wouldn’t be able to control their pulse.”

And the reactions of the knights were very similar.

Of course, before the start, they thought that Dane would be on par with the candidates or have a certain degree of advantage and that the battle would last for quite some time.

However, it only took 10 minutes to defeat the four candidates.

Half of that time was spent being polite to each other and preparing for sparring.

If it had been a real fight, it would have only taken a moment to organize the four.

“Sogress’s spear skills are impressive.”

“I want to join you.”

While several of the Knights Templar showed their will to win, Sir Asmar eventually came forward.

“Everyone listen. As you saw, four of our knights were defeated by Master Dane Sogress.”

“… … .”

“Are there any more candidates willing to step forward?”

Then the large man who had been sitting up until then stood up.

“I will try it.”

He was at least a hand taller than the others and his size was so enormous that it seemed as if a mountain was rising.

“You’re finally coming forward.”

“I’m looking forward to it.”

The large man walked out holding a practice sword that was as tall as a normal person, and stood in front of Dane and showed respect.

“Qantas Daggerweld, the first candidate of the Duke of Termion Knights, requests a sparring match with Master Dane Sogress.”

Despite his size, Dane accepted the sparring with an unimpressed expression.

“I accept your request to spar.”

With that, Dane took the same stance as when dealing with the four candidates earlier and pointed the blade of his spear at Qantas.

“Please do me a favor.”

Qantas said this and looked at the tip of the spear pointed at him.

‘The previous four sparrings all ended in an instant. It’s not a technique or a foul of any kind. ‘It’s a strong opponent.’

Qantas is the strongest among the candidates for the Duke of Termion’s Order of Knights. The number 1 proves this.

There are three cores.

No, it is a triple level, close to the quad level.

Therefore, it is normal for an Academy freshman to win no matter how genius he or she is.

‘At most, two cores.’

Miss Leila, winner of the Danter Cup and said to be the most outstanding talent in the empire, has two cores.

Then, no matter how strong you are, it will only be that much –

What is this feeling of intimidation?

Just by standing there with your spear pointed at you, you don’t even dare to attack.

Unlike the previous four candidates, Qantas was cautious and serious.

Although he wields a heavy greatsword, he has a very meticulous personality.

He considered Kael’thas Redpil as the knight he respected the most, and was currently thinking about how to defeat Dane Sogress in front of him.

“If you don’t come, I will go first.”

But the thoughts did not last long.

Crack!

Dane hit the ground and dug in in an instant.

‘Car, digging in with the window?’

Surprisingly, he came within range of the great sword while swinging the spear.

Wow! Empty!

Changdae twice.

Qantas panicked and backed away.

I thought he was going to attack me with the blade of a spear, but I never thought he would immediately turn his arm and attack me with the spear.

It is an anomaly itself.

In general, it is common practice to widen the distance against an enemy holding a sword to take advantage of the spear’s range.

But Dane was the opposite-

Whoosh whoosh!

Now he was swinging his spear and trying to steal people’s attention.

“You’re crazy, Count Sogres taught you properly?”

“I never thought they would dig in and attack me with a spear.”

“Quite a few candidates must have gone that route. “I survived because it was Qantas.”

Qantas gulped and swallowed dry saliva.

‘What should I do?’

Honestly, I’m going crazy.

I don’t even remember how I managed to block the two spear attacks just now.

It’s truly an instinct that comes to life.

“The response is good.”

Meanwhile, Dane leisurely praised Qantas, then suddenly stopped twirling the window and-

Tatak!

I dug in again.

Qantas thought this was a spear attack again, so he pulled his sword closer to his body.

But no.

This time it’s a spear blade.

Tong, Tong!

The first spear-blade strike knocked Qantas’ greatsword to the ground.

The second time, he hung the great sword stuck on the floor and sent it flying into the air.

Qantas caught the eye of his practice sword spinning in the air.

Phew!

And then, the bayonet came down and became lodged in the ground between Dane and Qantas.

“… … .”

Qantas was in a daze, unable to even think of admitting defeat.

‘What just happened?’

Cold sweat flows down my back.

Even though there is a rule that magical power cannot flow to the surface of a weapon, isn’t the difference in level too much?

None of them responded properly.

Not a single one.

A strong sense of defeat was coming.

“That’s incredible. Nonsense.”

“At this level, the members, not the candidates, should step forward.”

Sir Asmar declared instead amid the voices of the members.

“Master Dane Sogress has won.”

Dane waited for the words to finish, then stuck the spear into the ground and walked up to him and pulled out his greatsword.

He then handed it to Qantas and said.

“It was a good sparring.”

“… … thanks… … do.”

Qantas accepted the sword blankly.

Then, my eyes lit up when I suddenly heard Dane’s advice.

“It was a great heavy sword. Although he did not succeed in his attack, I think it was because he was dealing with an enemy holding a spear. Next time, you will get better results if you hold your sword a little looser and shorten your steps by half a step.”

A little looser.

Just take half a step shorter.

Things Qantas didn’t know until now.

A problem I was vaguely aware of, but could not clearly define.

“… … !”

Dane has now pinpointed the problem and advised Qantas.

perhaps-

Clear advice that may take Qantas to the next level.

“I will not forget this grace.”

Qantas was filled with joy, forgetting about its previous defeat.

Dane turned around with a grin at Qantas’ thank you.

Now 5 wins in a row.

The atmosphere has changed.

At first, the main mood was curiosity and a little calmness, but now it was surprise, excitement, and even a little jealousy.

And the source of that jealousy was Leila.

‘He’s real.’

Now is the time to stop being surprised.

When you come face to face with their skills, you can’t help but feel jealous.

Because, as always, I was always ahead of the curve.

This isn’t even any other place, it’s his family’s first training ground, watched over by his father, Duke Termion, and all the knights.

But that jealousy didn’t last long.

‘Someday I too… … .’

Leila clenches her fists and makes a promise.

Duke Termion looked at Leila and smiled happily.

‘Maybe Leila’s best luck was meeting Dane.’

It is not common to find someone next to you every time who stimulates you and helps you gain enlightenment.

In that sense-

Leila and Dane remind him and Aken of their childhood.

In the past, even though we were close to each other, we tried never to lose in terms of each other’s talents.

‘Hmm, anyway.’

What should I do now?

Dane always exceeded expectations, and now he did.

Who would have thought that he could defeat Qantas, the strongest among the candidates, in just four rounds.

“What do you think, Lord Asmar?”

“… … .”

Lord Asmar hesitated before answering.

“Honestly, I don’t think it would be a problem to spar with a member of the group.”

“I think so too. Can you see the members’ expressions?”

Sir Asmar nodded, looking at several members shaking their butts.

“yes. Should I take one of them?”

“What if I lose?”

“That won’t happen.”

“You don’t know how to look at things calmly, Lord Asmar.”

Duke Termion smiled and placed his hand on his shoulder.

“If that guy shows off all his skills, do you think he’ll be able to take on people ranked higher in the rankings?”

“… … .”

Shocking words continued toward him, who did not respond.

“I don’t know about you, but the lower level is enough.”

“… … !”

“If it were real, the story might be different.”

It’s not like they’re giving him credit because he’s a close friend’s son.

But I couldn’t admit it.

“If that’s true, I’ll have to check.”

No matter how genius the Count of Sogres is, a knight is still a knight.

It is inconceivable that a member of an order that is said to be comparable to the Imperial Knights would be defeated by an academy student, especially a new student.

Lord Asmar happened to spot someone who caught his eye.

Ranked 30th in the Order of Knights.

Donny Esteban.

He is the eldest son of Baron Esteban, one of the most prestigious swordsmen in the empire.

He already has four cores and is growing quickly, so he has enough talent to rise to the level of deputy commander in the future.

Just then, Donnie stood up as if responding to this.

“This is Donny Esteban of the Knights of Termion. Duke, if it’s okay, would it be possible to request a sparring match with a member of the Knights Templar?”

Everyone was surprised.

There was no need to tell the candidates, and the other knights also looked quite surprised.

“Donny couldn’t hold back.”

“I thought it would be that guy who came forward.”

Duke Termion looked at Dane.

Dane nodded.

It means it’s okay.

Rather, it is a happy face.

‘Huh, me.’

Duke Termion chuckled inwardly and agreed.

“It’s okay.”

“Thank you, Duke.”

Donnie bowed his head, then immediately entered the circle and showed respect.

“Donny Esteban of the Knights of Termion. “I would like to spar with Master Sogres, Dane of the Count Sogres family.”

“Donny Esteban. “I accept your request to spar.”

Dane raised his spear like he always did.

But this time was a little different.

The energy they give off is different.

Without a doubt, Dane and Donny both raised the core’s magical power.

A completely different atmosphere than before.

All you have to do is not let the magic flow to the surface of the weapon, everything else is possible.

in other words-

It was predictable that it would be completely different from the five sparrings just now.

‘It’s starting.’

Probably everyone here will expect Dhoni to win.

There is nothing to do other than watch.

Considering the pride and pride of the Termion Knights, this is even more shameful.

But only one.

‘Dane will win.’

With only Leila giving infinite trust.

Kaang!

The sparring has begun.

* * *

He’s a quad-level talent.

Aside from my father and Professor Kael’thas, he is probably the strongest opponent I have ever had to officially spar with in this life.

I’m not scared or nervous.

Rather, I think it went well.

Kaang!

It’s definitely lacking in power.

It may have been because my body had not grown much, but it was also due to the difference in the number of magic cores between me, which currently only had 2, and that knight, Donnie, who of course had 4.

No matter how much I possess ancient magical power, the difference in physical ability resulting from the difference in magical core is clear.

But I wasn’t pushed back.

“oh my god.”

“You’re going to hold out against Donny and even counterattack?”

Rather, he actively blocked Dhoni’s incoming attacks and even counterattacked using the techniques he had learned while rolling on the battlefield.

Pow!

The counter that was thrown with a spear hit Donny’s arm properly.

“… … !”

As expected from a member of the Knights of Termion, he did not groan. He even ran towards me as if nothing was wrong.

Kaang!

It’s a good talent.

And, it is a destructive sword technique.

But he lacks skill and-

“I wish I could tackle it a little better.”

“… … How dare you?”

I definitely got excited easily.

I wondered where the pain in my arm I had just endured had gone, and I began to lunge even harder.

Kang, kang! Teuong!

Differences in basic body strength.

“Do you feel like you’re doing well now?”

“I guess so.”

Donnie will think he’s pushing me.

But the moment I saw a gap.

Teuong!

I swung the spear with the strongest force I could muster and struck off Donnie’s blade.

“Ugh!”

Donnie was embarrassed and took a big step back.

Those eyes of disbelief.

As usual, we would be able to attack here and end it.

But at this moment, there is something I have to do.

For a more complete victory.

“… … ?”

During the brief lull, Donnie looks confused when I don’t attack him.

I paid it no heed and kept my distance for a moment and patted my itchy chest.

Slowly, it seems like the time has come.

It’s time to break away from the two cores we’ve had for quite some time and move on to three cores.

The balancing act is now over.

Two circles created from the concentration of ancient magical power.

Because of this, it took quite a while to advance to the third core… … .

Not anymore.

Ugh.

For just a moment, I felt it when I closed my eyes.

The feeling of the core about to expand into three.

“Finally.”

I don’t know why, but after creating two cores, growth was quite slow.

However, after obtaining two ancient magic concentrates and creating two circles, the story changed a little.

The magical energy that had been slowly condensing until then finally gained speed… … .

At this moment, preparations have been completed to create a new core.

Is it because of the stimulation for battle?

Ugh.

I grinned, feeling the new core against my chest with my whole body.

Third core.

It feels like a much more powerful force is flowing through my body than before.

Yes, this was it.

The joy you feel when building a core.

It’s been quite a while so I wanted to savor it for a long time, but unfortunately I don’t think I’ll be able to.

Kuuk.

I grabbed the spear again, which felt lighter, and aimed it at Donnie-

“Goes.”

Green onions!

He kicked the floor much faster, more intensely, and more accurately than before and rushed towards Donnie in an instant.

Tuk.

That was the end.

“… … This is ridiculous… … .”

Donnie muttered with a face full of disbelief as he looked at the tip of my spear, which was now stopped right in front of his chest.

His sword isn’t even ready to extend yet.

in other words.

I narrowed the distance and overpowered Donnie without him having time to react.

“You hid your skills.”

Donnie said to me as if he was dumbfounded.

I thought for a moment and answered.

“Would you believe it if my skills improved a bit in the meantime?”

“… … “What nonsense is that?”

There are often absurd things in the world.

Like now, like a third core being created at an amazing time.

Of course, even if we didn’t create a third core… … .

I would have won.

That too simple.

Because my senses from my past life are so experienced that they cannot be compared to the current knight named Donnie.

“I admit defeat.”

Donnie dropped his sword and-

“Master Dane Sogress… … “We have won.”

Lord Asmar’s trembling voice was heard.

And at this moment, I was thinking about something other than the joy of victory.

Growling.

Is it because we won 6 games in a row?

I’m very hungry.

I’ll have a tart later.
