How a Genius in the Kingdom of Magic Lives - How a Genius in the Kingdom of Magic Lives chapter 168

Leo put the moon crystal into his mouth.

At first glance, it looks like a hard stone, so I wonder if I can eat it, but as soon as I put it in my mouth, it crumbles into small pieces.

One of the best elixirs to obtain wolf souls when taken.

However, the effect was not immediately apparent.

‘Is it done?’

Leo tilted his head.

Except for the first few years, I didn’t hear the system notification sound, so I couldn’t tell if the effect was applied properly.

I guess I’ll have to spend some time testing my skills.

But right now, I had something to do first.

Thinking that he hadn’t been scammed, Leo moved on.

* * *

Drafting Academy.

A place that accepts only talented and talented students regardless of social status.

Louie, the former Warchief of the Lycanthrope, said there was a dragon artifact somewhere there.

If you get it, you can handle the power of dragon words, so Louis needed it right away, so he had to get it as soon as possible.

‘But, no matter how hard it is, I can’t go in as a student.’

However, even such an institutional academy could not accept Leo.

It’s a skill that I’m sorry to say that it’s out of the standard!

So Leo went to see the emperor.

Even if he went to see the uncle next door without any promise, the emperor welcomed him.

“Did you have a good time?”

“Yes. your majesty.”

“Of course it would have been fine since Prince Bahelm went with me, but I was worried that something unfortunate might happen. I’m glad you came back safely.”

Prince Bahelm went with them, but if a battle had broken out there, both would have died.

To that extent, even though Louis was of the same grade, he was one step higher.

Of course, he didn’t hurt the emperor’s pride by saying such a thing.

“Your Majesty asked the lycanthropes to find out. They said they would investigate and let you know at the next meeting.”

“Hmm. Did you accept it so easily?”

“Yes.”

“Good. But what about next? Does this mean we will meet the lycanthropes again?”

“Somehow it happened.”

I didn’t say that we had to find the dragon’s artifact and meet again.

In any case, the object would be in the drafting academy, and if so, it would have meant that it belonged to the emperor.

It’s worse than not saying that I’m going to take it and help the lycanthropes.

“Hmm. It seems they recognized your talents too. Even though he would have an hostile relationship with humans, seeing that he is good to you.”

The emperor was uncomfortable with planting.

‘Well. Surely they’re not trying to steal Prince Leo?’

6th class at the age of 12.

At this rate, I don’t know how strong I’ll be when I’m an adult.

If it was the chieftain of the lycanthrope, he could find out its potential and ask them to come to them.

Although they are of different races, they worship strength more than anything else.

It is said that electing the warchief is also the strongest one, so wouldn’t it be possible to treat the humans as well if they had good skills?

“Come to think of it, you’ve accomplished a lot of missions so far, but I don’t think you’ve given me much in return. Is there anything you want?”

The emperor proposed with a subtle smile.

Leo tilted his head.

“I am well compensated by Your Majesty.”

He actually thought so.

Thanks to the Emperor, he put a dagger into the heart of the Catsane Guild and was able to make the guild his own.

I was relieved to have gotten rid of the guys I thought were troublesome for quite some time.

Where is that?

It was because of the banquet held by the emperor that he had grown to a higher level while giving lectures to the magicians of the Empire, and that his meeting with the Duke of Bahelm had taken place.

There was little help from the emperor in all fields.

“Jim doesn’t think so. I think I should give you something bigger than this. As a wizard, how about the elixir in the Imperial Venus warehouse?”

“!”

The Imperial Venus Warehouse was a warehouse where only the most valuable of the Empire’s treasures were collected.

‘Venus Warehouse is never a place that is easily opened… .’

The Venus Warehouse is where heroes who have made great contributions in the war or nobles obtain permission to enter.

If it’s an elixir for a place like that, it’s at least S-class.

There will even be a lot of SS-class elixirs.

Leo unconsciously nodded.

“If you give it to me, I will be grateful.”

Although the power of magic increased as he went up to the 6th rank, it was difficult because the consumption of mana increased.

In the long run, depletion of mana would be Leo’s fatal weakness.

I was trying to bolster this in the near future, never thought I’d help in this way.

‘I think the emperor is in a good mood today?’

So, let’s go a little further here.

“your majesty. Can I ask you one more favor?”

“However much.”

The Emperor’s eyes twinkled.

“I want to share the achievements I gained this time with other wizards.”

“You mean to gather the magicians and hold a lecture like last time? If that’s the case, I can even give you a villa in the imperial palace.”

“Your Majesty’s words are good, but this time the younger ones. I would like to meet the students of the system.”

To find the dragon’s artifact, you must enter the drafting academy.

You have to go in there and look everywhere.

Generally, I would think about entering as a student.

‘But I can’t do that this time.’

When you become a student, there are various uncomfortable restrictions and you have to follow the rules of the academy.

In that case, it would be much better to go to the professor level.

It’s not even undeserving.

No matter how drafting academy was, 6th class mages were not common.

Skills were overflowing.

Of course, taking into account personality, character, and achievements in the past, he has to be recognized by the nobles… .

“I will grant you my permission. Feel free to express your will.”

The emperor nodded coolly.

Leo thought of a halo shining from the back of his head.

‘I think life would have been much easier if I had started as the prince of the empire instead of the prince of the kingdom.’

The emperor also looked at Leo with soft eyes.

‘To think that instead of going to the academy of the Kingdom of Rome to teach his enlightenment, he was trying to give it to the students of our academy. What a great personality.’

* * *

The emperor’s permission was given, and that evening.

Leo was given a temporary teaching position at the Drafting Academy.

[Wait a little bit about entering the Venus warehouse. I think it will take some time.]

A letter from the emperor came along with the professor’s badge.

It seems that the nobles are against it because the name of the Venus warehouse is worth it.

Although Leo was great, it was only because he was from a foreign royal family.

However, since the emperor made such a boast, it would only take a little time, and obtaining the elixir would be certain.

everything went smoothly.

“Whoop.”

However, Leo’s expression was stained with tension.

Twice as much as when fighting Denaparte… No, it seems to be 10 times more tense.

But there is no way to avoid it.

Leo kept his peace of mind and blew mana into the communication sphere.

It wasn’t long before I was connected to the other side, and a high pitched voice erupted.

– Hey Leo!

“ha ha ha… . father. Are you strong?”

-Long live? I almost fell in shock because of you! No, all three of them ran away together… @#$%

King Biden continued to nag over the communication port.

Leo, who had been listening to it blankly for a moment, spoke urgently.

“My brother and sister left. I will return to the kingdom soon.”

– I heard that. But you!?

“Me? I am… .”

-When did the banquet held by the empire end? Are you sure you don’t want to stay?

I can tell just by your voice.

How uncomfortable King Biden’s planting is now.

‘If this is wrong, I’ll be imprisoned in the castle for at least a year.’

No matter how much Leo can fly and crawl, in the eyes of King Biden, he only looks like a 12-year-old son.

The fact that he, who is usually good-natured, said something like this also meant that he was worried about that much.

So, from here on out, I had to speak well.

“father. It is true that I intend to stay in the Empire a little longer.”

-what? No, I said so… !

“However! It’s not that I’m just there to play. I’m thinking of going to the drafting academy!”

-… … .

Only then did King Biden stop being angry.

Drafting Academy.

It was a place that any gifted student would want to go to, and a place that parents would want to send their children to anyway.

In modern times, it was similar to sending students to Harvard to study.

But looking inside, it was more than that.

In this world where the class system is strong, the drafting academy is the only place where the power of class can’t do anything.

Even if you are the son of an emperor or a crown prince, you cannot enter the academy unless you have talent worthy of it.

In fact, it was a famous anecdote that the current crown prince failed the academy entrance exam.

That’s why the higher-ranking aristocrats and royal families became more obsessed with the academy.

My children are so wonderful!

It was no different from an honor to be proud of.

– Kuhm. When did you submit your application to the drafting academy? Well, Leo, of course, with your skills, you can enter… .

King Biden’s voice softened slightly.

After all, he was also a parent.

Even if he knew that Leo’s skills were high enough to go to the academy, he was still a person whose shoulders were raised because his son was from the drafting academy.

“Oh, I’m not going as a student.”

-… then?

“Professor. It’s a temporary position, but he’s the youngest professor anyway.”

-… … !!

The voice over the communication port cut off for a moment.

* * *

Wizard Faculty of Drafting Academy.

It was a place where talented people from all over the continent gathered, and the skills of the students already in this position were already at the level of active wizards.

Most of them were 3rd class wizards, and even though some were students, there were also those who broke through the wall of mages and became 4th class.

The drafting academy is a concept like a university, so even if there were students in their late 20s and early 30s, it was definitely a great level.

Of course, there was a sense of arrogance.

“Did you hear? I heard a special guest professor is coming today?”

“Eh? Who is coming from outside?”

“Well… . I don’t think I’m a very nice person. How many people out there can teach us.”

These are people who have been praised as geniuses since childhood.

That’s why it was easy to laugh at the academy’s talented professors.

Even if I fall short of you now, things will be completely different in 5 or 10 years?

This arrogance is installed in the head.

This was especially the case when professors were invited from outside to teach them about actual combat.

“I’d rather have Lord Bahelm visit at least once.”

“Only at his level can we respect and teach him.”

So for some time the students giggled.

– Kik.

The door to the classroom where the students of the Faculty of Magic were gathered opened.

– Jerking away.

A silver-haired handsome man walking in with a black robe waving.

Contrary to his youthful face, he is tall.

It was a look that would cause discomfort to male students and instantly steal attention from female students.

He stood on the podium and looked at the students.

“nice to meet. A professor who will teach you guys for a while. My name is Leo.”

Leo came to the drafting academy.
