The Duke’s Madness - The Duke’s Madness chapter 77

Arthur recalled memories from his previous life after a long time.

Those days when I was crazy about blood and knives to get revenge.

Arthur Bayern in those days was violent.

Since he often committed eccentricities that he could call a madman even in his own eyes, he must have looked like a madman in the eyes of others.

And the ones who cried out the word madman the most would have been those who joined Can Madrid and destroyed the Bavarian family.

‘Once they encountered them, they killed them. Even if it wasn’t that, I swung the sword.’

Thanks to that, most of the bloodlines that Arthur Bayern, who was crazy at the time, had were those who followed Can Madrid.

‘The supply and demand are convenient, and the lineage ability itself is good… There was no reason not to absorb it.’

However, now Arthur Bayern was different.

I don’t know if it’s coincidence or fate, but most of the original owners of the lineage they had were alive.

Because of that, Arthur guessed that the newly discovered change came from this difference.

‘Because the lineage of the original owner is alive… If that ability grows, the lineage I have also grows.’

With the thought, Arthur raised the corner of his mouth.

If this assumption is correct, another possibility is at hand.

The possibility that the lineage of lightning and the lineage of trolls can grow even more compared to the lineage obtained in the previous life.

‘Considering the abilities of the two lineages…Ugh. Can I become strong like this easily?’

I felt joy at the fact that I had a great possibility in my hands, but I also felt regret at the same time.

It was a pity that he had finally discovered the change in this ability.

‘As expected, when I was crazy, I was a fool. Even if I’m blinded by revenge, I don’t know how he killed all the owners of the lineage he absorbed.’

Arthur, who lost his appetite, brushed off his memories of the past.

Because there was nothing more foolish than regretting what had already happened.

‘The important thing is how you grow in the future… Then, first of all, is Julie’s lineage ability the most urgent?’

In fact, now Julie’s lightning bloodline was only half.

It was because Julie, who became the future lunatic killer Arthur knew, could not only handle lightning, but also become ‘lightning’ itself.

‘I’m still young, so I think I’ll grow faster with a little training.’

The question was whether Julie wanted to develop her lineage abilities, but that problem wasn’t particularly a problem when I recalled the last time.

‘I liked it because it taught me how to deal with bloodlines, so I’m going to take it positively.’

Arthur nodded and raised an eyebrow.

‘The circle is growing positively, and the lineage ability is also discovered in this way… hmm. Is it too smooth?’

In this situation, I thought that if I could perfectly carry out only Professor Chizui’s group assignment for today, it would be the best day ever.

“oh. Are you here?”

Leon, who had been waiting for the meeting place first, waved his hand.

Next to him was Yenika, but her expression looked quite unusual.

“Why do you have such a sinister expression, Yenika?”

At Arthur’s question, Yenica raised her lips and said,

“Seeing the rumored Confucius makes me feel good without knowing it.”

“… … ?”

“Did you make a big mistake? Are you meeting people you shouldn’t be meeting?”

Arthur tilted his head and exclaimed.

“ah. Have rumors already spread?”

“How could the rumors not spread? I did that.”

“hmm… I don’t really want to be famous.”

At these words, Yenika smiled.

Leon, who had been peeping at that strange smile, quietly raised his ability and asked a question.

[What are you two talking about?]

Arthur was troubled by Leon’s words.

‘Come to think of it, you two don’t know about each other yet, do you?’

On the one hand, a pagan fanaticism.

One is a crazy guy who wants to kill my brother.

Perhaps it would be quite interesting when they found out each other’s true identities.

But I decided to put up with it.

This kind of thing is more fun to know naturally rather than someone else telling you.

[There is, something like that.]

[…] I don’t understand, but you’re quite popular with the opposite s*x, aren’t you?]

Arthur shrugged and clapped his hands.

“now. Saddam does it right here! As you all know, today is an important day!”

“… … .”

“Three weeks to meet each other while wasting precious time! It’s the day when the results of all that hard work come out!”

Jenika and Leon nodded.

“It was a difficult day… … .”

“That’s right, it was an insult.”

Arthur, who got the consent of the two, brightened his eyes.

“Since you’ve gone through all that hard work, the last one should be decorated splendidly, right? You must get an A on the group assignment!”

With these words, before Arthur made his presentation, he made a final overhaul.

Thanks to Jenika and Leon, who rarely showed their enthusiasm and participated, the final maintenance was over in an instant.

Leon, who was looking at the result, raised a corner of his mouth.

“hmm… It’s kind of hard to say this. Is this enough to get you an A?”

Yenika nodded as if agreeing with his words.

Certainly, looking at the result, it was a flawless material.

“Now, the question is who will announce… What has this been decided?”

At Leon’s words, Yenika looked away.

Arthur narrowed his eyes.

“Me?”

“Who else but you?”

“hmm… I guess not.”

At this, Leon burst out laughing.

“To be honest, the research materials were also yours, and you led the entire experiment, so you should be the one to publish it.”

At his praise, Arthur nodded and said.

“Then you will find out when I announce it. Isn’t Yenika also dissatisfied?”

Jenika nodded.

“no. Confucius does it.”

With these words, the three of them, carrying the materials they had prepared, headed for Professor Chizui’s classroom.

buzz buzz.

The students who had already come and were waiting were chatting with anxiety and excitement.

“How was your group assignment?”

“… The dog is doomed.”

“omg? what happened?”

“no… I didn’t even prepare properly. A few members of the group did not attend because they were busy.”

Arthur, who was watching the scene, whispered to Yenika.

“After hearing the stories of the other groups, I think our group was pretty good.”

“… It has to be okay.”

“… why?”

“Isn’t Confucius that hardworking?”

At this, Arthur narrowed his eyes.

“It’s an assignment, so of course you have to work hard, right?”

“Even if I work hard, I don’t do it like Confucius.”

At Yenica’s words, Arthur tilted his head.

‘Did I work hard? Isn’t this normal?’

In order to present the complete research results, I summarized about 50 appropriate papers and searched about 32 500-page books to find examples of similar experimental results.

But Arthur felt that even this was not enough.

It is because it is so difficult to come up with legitimate results through research.

So, when I met Jenika and Leon, the group task was completed only after repeating the experiment about 12 times.

‘I have to do this to be able to show the results of my research… So what did the other groups do?’

It was time for Arthur to mumble and ponder.

Yenika, who had been peeping at him, shook her head.

‘In what group of students do you condense 50 theses?’

Even more so, if I exaggeratedly say only the pages of the book I looked through, it seemed that 10,000 pages could easily be crossed.

With this level of effort, it was possible to write a new thesis right now.

‘At this level… It’s not self-indulgent, it’s impossible. At the level of students.’

In that sense, it was Jenika who discovered a new aspect of Arthur Bayern again.

‘Good hair. Comparable to the standard of genius.’

Although there are some eccentric parts, the research and process led by Arthur Bayern were just as outstanding.

Even if he had led himself to such an extent that he had no knowledge in the field of magic engineering.

So he was a very unpredictable person.

‘A genius at Arcane University by day. The craziest mercenary on the back streets at night… … .’

Is there anyone who is this special?

It was the time when Yenika burst into laughter without even realizing it, along with her thoughts.

The classroom door opened and Professor Chizui entered.

“… … !”

The noisy classroom becomes solemn at once with his appearance.

In that strange silence, Professor Chizui, who stepped onto the podium, lifted up the glasses he was wearing.

“ah… everyone. well… How are you?”

The students answered yes to his question, but their expressions were not as bright as the answer.

Professor Chizui, who was watching this, nodded and explained.

“but… Doing research and getting along… That must be strange.”

“… … .’

“But with this assignment, you… persistence and perseverance. Further exploring knowledge… You’d have fun. Whether the results are good… Not bad.”

At these words, the students pursed their lips.

‘Is this fun?’

‘What part should I have fun in?’

‘ha… I really picked the wrong class.’

Amidst that complaint, Arthur only nodded.

‘It was definitely hard, but it was fun. To explore something.’

The joy of learning that I have never felt in my previous life.

Arthur was so happy.

‘Doing something I’ve never experienced… It’s fun. Especially if it suits your taste.’

Because of that, Arthur thought he had gained many things through this assignment, just as Professor Chizui had said.

Of course I wasn’t satisfied.

‘In the end, what matters is the outcome. I must have gotten an A because I worked so hard!’

It was time to control the light excitement that Arthur felt prior to the announcement, along with his thoughts.

Professor Chizui lifts up the thick papers and declares.

“Then the first group… Arthur Bavarian student Joe. Please come prepared.”

Arthur’s eyes widened at these words.

It was because I didn’t know that I would be the first to be named as a group.

Leon, who was next to him, was no different.

“Ooh, we’re the first!? This isn’t very good… The middle of everything is the worst when it comes to presentations… … .”

At his words, Yenika also nodded in agreement.

However, Arthur nodded his head unfazed.

“It’s better to be beaten first, and the first one isn’t bad either. and… … .”

Arthur, speechless, grins.

“Didn’t we prepare hard? Then there is no reason to tremble.”

At this, Jenika and Leon could not respond any longer.

Amidst that strange silence, Leon made a puzzled expression.

“… you. For some reason… Are you talking normal?”

“I feel really bad to hear that from the prince.”

“… why?”

“The person crazier than me is the prince.”

Leon narrows his eyes.

In the meantime, it was time for Arthur, who had risen from his seat, to carry the materials he had prepared and go up to the podium.

“Arthur Bayern… student? Why are you coming out?”

At this, Arthur paused.

“uh… I decided to give the presentation, so what about the professor?”

Professor Chizui shook his head.

“no.”

“… … ?”

“The announcement was made by me… do as a person. If only prepared people could give a presentation… It’s not a group assignment.”

“… … !”

The classroom is shaken by the shocking declaration.

Arthur was no different.

“… uh. What is this?”

It was a situation that I never expected to give such a variation.

But since it was true again, there was nothing to refute.

‘then… Who’s going to be in the best situation?’

Arthur is startled by his worries.

Jenica Hazel and Leon Madrid.

It was because either of them was the worst.

Because of that, the moment Arthur’s mouth slowly opened, Professor Chizui looked away and said.

“then… Let’s decide.”

With these words, I nominate one of Professor Chizui.

“… Yenica student?”
