The Lazy Genius of the Duke’s Family (56)

Preliminary (1)

Academy Exchange Exhibition.

Exactly 100 years after the founding of Jupiter Academy a thousand years ago, the prince of the southern kingdom of Atulan, who was a graduate of Jupiter Academy, created the Academy.

That is the Atulan Academy with 900 years of tradition.

And there was the Pyleus Academy in Pyleus, a free trade city jointly managed by the Northern Three Principalities and the Empire through an agreement modeled after the Jupiter Academy and the Atullan Academy, and the Kragus Academy in the Kingdom of Kragus, a mountainous kingdom beyond the western part of the Empire where the great mountain range called the Dragon’s Graveyard stretched out endlessly.

Three of these four academies, Atullan, Pyleus, and Kragus, adopted a slightly different curriculum from Jupiter Academy, depending on the environment in which the academies were located.

For example, the Kingdom of Atullan is a kingdom across the sea, accessible only by crossing the Boiling Sea in the southern part of the empire.

That’s why it was so close to the sea that it was said that all the boys there were sailors from the age of three, and because of that, there were departments of navigation and trade that weren’t available at Jupiter Academy.

In addition, the Pyleus Academy, located in a free trade city, has a highly developed commerce department, and the Kragus Academy, located in a mountain kingdom, has highly developed warrior departments, ranger departments, and mining departments.

Although each academy had different characteristics, the reason they were created was the same.

Preparing in advance to avoid the tragedy of a thousand years ago.

That is why the four academies have an opportunity to meet each other every year under the name of an exchange meeting to check the level of each academy and exchange what is lacking.

That is the Academy Exchange Exhibition.

A chance for four academies to come together and compete to see which academy is the best!

Everyone who has stood out here has become a hero or at least a celebrity.

That is why it is no exaggeration to say that all cadets hone their skills by watching this exchange.

This is because the results obtained from this exchange are considered more important than the evaluation within the Academy.

However, since not all cadets can participate in the exchange program, each academy holds a selection process.

Only a select few who are ultimately selected through the preliminary round will have the honor of participating in the exchange competition.

“Each department can have three students.”

Although each academy has slightly different curriculums and the nature of their departments is also different, there was no problem in conducting exchanges because they were grouped into large categories.

And only three students per department can participate in the exchange competition.

In order to be selected as one of those three, all cadets must show off the skills they have been honing. That is why, as the selection process gets closer, the atmosphere at the academy is bound to become more chaotic.

Although the average skill level of cadets who have reached the graduating class may be excellent, when looking at individual skills, there are many cadets in lower grades who have the skills to beat upperclassmen.

In any case, amidst such confusion, the students of Jupiter Academy were busy talking about the unprecedented situation that was unfolding whenever two or more of them gathered together.

“So, which side did Benio Kepler go for?”

Benio Kepler.

The worst dullard who rewrote the history of the millennium academy.

Although he could no longer be called the worst dullard, the gap between them was so large that all the cadets still called him the worst dullard.

In the past, it was called that way as a mockery towards Benio, but now it is called that way with reverence.

The first prodigy swordsman to develop Aura in the history of the Millennium Academy.

And the first genius magic student in the history of the thousand-year academy to demonstrate talent in both magic and Auror.

Not only that, but one of the ten holy men of the Solar Cult is a genius trainee priest who has decided to learn the magic of the Armada of Smash.

genius.

Benio Kepler, whose reputation had been at rock bottom for five years after entering the Academy, transformed himself into a different person and rose to fame in just a few months.

There was unprecedented interest in Jupiter Academy as to where Benio would be selected for the preliminary round.

Is it the swordsmanship department or the magic department?

But they didn’t know it.

This shows how greedy the newly born Benio Kepler is.

“You’re crazy.”

Lumen shook his head as he looked at Benio. Radritsch nodded as if he agreed. Benio wiped the sweat dripping down his forehead and looked at Lumen and Radritsch.

“what?”

“Didn’t you say you were going to both places?”

“yes.”

Both.

Benio planned to enter both the swordsmanship and magic departments, and to participate in exchange tournaments in both.

“I acknowledge your swordsmanship. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have been able to develop Aura either.”

Lumen coolly admitted his own shortcomings. If Benio had not surpassed him, Lumen would not have been stimulated and would not have been able to develop his aura.

“I don’t know why you only practice stabbing, but at some point, you never once defeated me.”

“Hook, hook.”

Benio continued to practice stabbing at a point in the air as if he didn’t even have time to talk.

This is the practice of the sword.

In order to unleash the Sail Sword, which shoots the sun with the will to kill with one blow, without putting any strain on the body, there was no other way than to practice like one was dead.

“But magic is different.”

Radlish intervened from the side. It was natural for Benio to participate in the swordsmanship selection competition. However, it didn’t make sense for him to participate in the magic department selection competition as well.

“I understand that Senior Benio is learning magic. Dean Rambledore must have seen something in Senior Benio. But the time spent there was too short.”

It’s only been a few months since Benio began studying magic. It’s arrogant to think that in those few months he can surpass the students of the Faculty of Magic who have devoted their entire lives to magic.

Benio shrugged.

“It’s the same with swords. It’s been a few months since I properly held a sword. But now you all acknowledge me, don’t you?”

If it weren’t for the soul of the six ports, the fraudsters of Jupiter Academy would have been Lumen and Radlish, not Benio.

Lumen made a serious expression and then nodded at Radritsh.

“That’s true too.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Benio’s body, which was stabbing at a single point, had developed one step further than before. This was because his stagnant iron spirit had grown rapidly thanks to the club slam that Lumen had swung with her aura.

There, with the ring that allowed him to use the healing magic he received from Professor Beatrice and the internal energy of the Guyangshinkong gradually accumulating, his growth rate began to accelerate like a snowball rolling down the mountain.

As his physical and aerodynamic abilities began to develop simultaneously, Benio developed differently day by day. He had grown to the point where he could now subdue Lumen within thirty seconds, even if she charged at him with an aura surrounding her.

When Benio, who had grown so quickly, said such things, Lumen and Radlish, who had experienced Benio’s growth firsthand, were left speechless.

“But didn’t you say that fusion magic was still unstable?”

“That’s true.”

Benio nodded. The selection for the Faculty of Magic wasn’t like the one for the Faculty of Swordsmanship, where people held swords and fought to see who could be stronger.

“Is it possible to pass the preliminaries with that?”

“It’s ambiguous.”

Benio used his magic not by casting it and then firing it like other magicians, but by combining it with his martial arts.

That’s why when you see Benio, you often get confused as to whether he uses magic or a sword.

This means that those who are jealous of Benio now have a weak spot that they can attack.

“Wherever you go, you’ll get into trouble.”

Magic and aura.

A swordsman who handles those two.

Lumen and Radlish knew that Benio was trying to walk a path that no one walked on.

It was impossible not to know when we were fighting with swords facing each other.

Because Benio never gave in to his opponents when they were weak during sparring.

“Civil war?”

Benio raised the corners of his lips.

“Tell her to hang up.”

A divine power gushed out from Benio’s hand. Strictly speaking, it was the energy of the Guyang Shingong, but to others, it felt like divine power.

Sorcery.

All healing and purification techniques of the priests of the Sun Church are based on this magic. It is also called sacred magic, but strictly speaking, it is different from magic.

Because divine power was not something that could be accumulated in a ring around the heart like magic.

Anyway, Benio felt his tired body become energized when he used the most basic heal with his magic.

This technique allowed Benio to train like a madman. When he got tired, he would heal himself and restore his stamina, which increased his training time by almost 1.5 times.

So it has no choice but to grow steeply.

‘It’s not enough.’

Benio muttered to himself as he flexed his arms as the energy returned to him. Benio was feeling thirsty now.

After going to Dudek’s private sector and experiencing bloody real-life combat, I felt like I was losing my sense of real-life combat through sparring.

‘The original martial art is not meant to be in a greenhouse like this, but to be strong like a weed, exposed to wind and rain.’

Benio was feeling a joy he had never felt in the world of martial arts. Becoming stronger, something he had never been interested in in the world of martial arts, was something he had only realized here after enduring so much humiliation and anger.

While Benio was feeling so thirsty, Lumen shook his head.

“If you are so confident.”

The selection process for the Faculty of Magic is different from that of the Faculty of Swordsmanship. Those who will participate in the exchange are selected based on thorough understanding of magical theory and the cadets’ understanding and achievements in magic.

“Instead of worrying about me, worry about yourselves. Especially you.”

Benio looked at Radritsch. Radritsch is a freshman this year, but he has a reputation as one of the strong dark horses who could make it to the starting lineup.

But Radritsh also had a rival.

“If I get pushed by Severus, I can’t go out.”

Lumen is the second genius to have blossomed into Auror after Benio. Therefore, it was considered a given that he would be the representative of the swordsmanship department.

But it’s not Radritsh.

This was because Severus, who had been spending more time fighting swords with Radritsch and Benio during their training sessions instead of hanging out with the Three Musketeers, was a strong rival to Radritsch.

To begin with, Severus was five years older than Radritsch, and he had not been lazy in his swordsmanship training, nor was he without talent.

So, at this young age of five, there had to be an absolute difference.

‘Just overcoming that difference and competing on equal terms is crazy talent.’

Radlish was always one or half steps behind Severus. But it was really just a thin line. Severus also thought that Radlish might surpass him, so he pushed himself harder in his training, and a positive synergy was created.

That meant that the remaining spot in the swordsmanship department would be taken by either Severus or Radlish.

When Benio said that, Radritsh’s eyes became tense. He was worried that he might lose to Severus.

“Yes, junior Radritsh. Your nose is three feet long.”

Lumen laughed mischievously from the side. But Lumen didn’t have time to just laugh like that.

“Stand there.”

“Right now?”

“Then how about tomorrow? I just realized something while practicing, so take a look.”

Lumen was a very good scarecrow for Benio, as she was the only cadet who could withstand Benio’s attacks because she could cast Aura.

If not for him, Benio would have had to go to the professor and ask him for help with what he was learning through his training.

“Okay, try to block it well.”

“Are you going to do that stupid stabbing again?”

Lumen’s face turned pale. The duels with Benio were fun. There was always something to be gained after finishing them.

But at the same time, I wanted to avoid it. Because once I started sparring with Benio, I would have to spar until my whole body was exhausted.

In order to avoid getting hurt, I had to stay alert as if I was fighting a real battle.

First memory.

Lumen held out his spear as he watched Benio take his stance. The moment Benio was about to draw his sword, Tony appeared with a sound of rapid footsteps.

“Master! Master Benio!”

“Ugh.”

Benio licked his lips as if he felt sorry for the food. Tony, who saw Benio like that and ran over, said while panting.

“Your Majesty, a guest has arrived.”

“Guests? I didn’t expect any guests to come today.”

Benio frowned slightly at the interruption of his training. Tony observed Benio’s expression and said.

“Yes? I’m sure you made an appointment with the young master… That, Young Master Lawrence of the Ismail Duke’s House came with Young Master Tepor.”

“Tepor Somnus?”

Benio’s eyes flashed. Tepor Somnus. Tepor Somnus, who had handed the Taecheongdan over to Aphu Dudek to complete the mine transformation, appeared.

After returning to the academy, I looked for Tepor, but it turned out that Tepor had taken a few days off due to family matters and had been sent back to the family.

So he came with Lawrence?

“Let’s meet up.”

Benio wondered what excuse he would come up with.
