The Lazy Genius of the Duke’s Family (64)

Free Trade City Pyleus (4)

Free trade city of Philaeus.

Pyleus is a border city located between the northern border of the Amorian Empire and the southern border of the three principalities known as the Duchy of Ferrara, the Duchy of Orange, and the Duchy of Sealand.

The three principalities of Ferrara, Orange, and Sealand were originally of the same blood and descendants of King Bathyle, who was once called the Great Dragon Slayer.

Seven hundred years ago, a demon dragon who claimed to be a descendant of the Gwangryong Shahaeil appeared in the current Three Dukes, which were scattered among the tribes at the time, and captured many tribes and forced them into slavery.

King Bathystri, who could not bear to see his people become slaves and suffer under the tyranny of the dragon, defeated the dragon with the protection of the sun god and the hundred-man suicide squad that followed him. The three children of King Bathystri became the founders of the three principalities.

Because of this, many of the people of the Three Principalities still worshipped Batu, who had become a god of war rather than the sun god of the Sun Cult.

And the creation of Pyleus was also closely related to King Bathysius.

At that time, King Bathyle the Great had established a kingdom rather than a three-principality, and large and small conflicts arose along the border with the Amorian Empire.

Since most of the people of King Batu’s kingdom were nomadic tribes and clans, any clan could become a bandit at any time if livestock farming did not go well.

As the prairies spread out, the hungry people of the kingdom persistently crossed the borders of the Amorian Empire and pillaged.

Of course, the Amoria Empire couldn’t have just watched it.

The blood of the founder of the Amorian Empire, Emperor Matheus the Great, who was so belligerent that he led eight warriors and personally defeated the Allied Forces, could not have gone anywhere else.

At that time, the emperor of the Amorian Empire personally went out on a campaign, and King Bathysius personally led an army south and met with them at present-day Pyleus.

The imperial soldiers and the warriors of the kingdom’s plains faced each other.

At that time, King Bathil challenged the Emperor to a duel, and the Emperor accepted the offer.

And surprisingly, King Bathy, who defeated the Demon Dragon, and the Emperor of the Amoria Empire are on the same level. This is because the blood of the Emperor of Heaven and Earth, Matheus the Great, who was the greatest of the eight warriors, has been passed down.

This duel caused the Emperor and King Bathille to develop a great affection for each other.

So, they decide to defeat each other on the spot and then put their heads together to solve the problem.

The result was the free trade city of Pyleus.

Empires and kingdoms agreed to ease tensions by guaranteeing their autonomy and establishing an inviolable zone between their borders where no country’s military could enter.

And so that anyone could exchange and trade what they lacked without having to plunder or be plundered, they decided to encourage commerce and the free trade city of Pyleus was created.

In other words, the free trade city of Pyleus was a symbol of peace and friendship between the Amorian Empire and King Bathysius the Great.

Their legacy has continued to this day, and even though the kingdom was divided into three principalities, Pyleus continued to flourish as the world’s largest trading city.

The world’s largest trading city.

Benio realized what it meant as soon as he exited the teleportation gate.

“It feels like the entire continent has been condensed into one city.”

Pyleus was a place where merchants from all over the world flocked, so the cityscape was a strange mixture of styles.

It was easy to find a melting pot of cultures where people from all over the continent gathered and projected their own styles onto the city, making it seem like a melting pot of cultures.

“Okay, attention!”

Professor Chutney, who accompanied us as one of the instructors of Jupiter Academy, raised his voice through the Auror.

“I won’t tell you not to enjoy it. You have eyes and ears, so it’s natural to be interested. But!”

Professor Chutney knew that he was leading a group of teenagers. At this age, people tend to want to do something more if they are not told to do it.

So he decided to take a method that would not forcefully oppress the cadets.

Looking around, there were about fifty cadets who wanted to run out at any moment. Professor Chutney smiled.

“Remember that you are students of Jupiter Academy. You are the face of the Academy here. So, you must conduct yourself in a manner befitting the honor of our Jupiter Academy.”

The pride of being a cadet of Jupiter Academy.

Professor Chutney decided to touch on his pride. Then he saw a few people flinch and change their expressions.

“let’s go.”

Professor Chutney led the cadets from the front. And when those dressed in Jupiter Academy uniforms appeared, the surroundings became noisy.

Whee!

“It’s Jupiter Academy!”

“Is the exchange finally starting?”

“Which Academy will win this year?”

Cheers echoed from all directions. Jupiter Academy is the origin of all academies and has always produced heroes.

That’s why it was inevitable that he would become an object of envy.

Benio chuckled as he watched Severus’ nostrils flutter slightly as he stood next to him.

Even though he was a mature Severus, he was still seventeen. He couldn’t help but be excited by the cheers around him.

And a little further on, children wearing flower necklaces dangling from their hands greeted Jupiter Academy. It was a kind of welcoming ceremony. The cadets each wore a bouquet of flowers around their necks and smiled awkwardly, as if they were happy.

festivities.

The Academy Exchange was a grand festival in itself, so the already bustling Pyleus was even more crowded with people and merchants flocking to see the exchange.

At that time, a girl approached Benio.

“I wish you good luck.”

The girl shyly lowered her head and handed over the flower necklace she was holding. Benio lowered his head and put the flower necklace around his neck.

“Well, it suits you well.”

The girl couldn’t raise her head, as if she was quite embarrassed. Benio smiled as he looked at her.

“thank you.”

“Well, then.”

The girl’s face turned bright red and she spun around. But she couldn’t run away from Benio right away because Benio was holding onto her wrist.

WHEEK―!

At the sight of Benio like that, whistles rang out from the surroundings. This was because Benio was quite powerful. Regardless of the reactions of those around him, Benio spoke quietly to the girl.

“If you came out to spy, try to control your breathing more next time. You’ll be able to tell if you’re nervous.”

“…!”

The girl looked at Benio with surprised eyes. Lumen and Severus, who were next to Benio, did the same. Benio smiled brightly.

“The welcome ceremony at Pyleus Academy was well received. And this.”

Benio put his hand behind the girl’s waist.

“Whoa, whoa!”

“It’s mine, so I’ll take it back.”

The girl let out a startled scream as Benio’s hand suddenly reached in. However, when Benio took his pocket out of the girl’s waistband, the girl bit her lip.

“I lost.”

“yes?”

“I lost!”

The girl screamed. Lumen and Severus, who saw Benio like that, felt their waists and only then realized that they had been attacked, and made expressions of despair.

“Bennio.”

“I got hit.”

The girl looked at Lumen and Severus and then at Benio.

“Still, our Philaeus won. You were the only one who noticed me.”

“Well, I guess.”

Benio smirked as he looked at the girl. Pyleus is the front yard of Pyleus Academy. It seems that Pyleus Academy prepared this cute event as part of a welcoming ceremony and preemptive strike.

The problem lay elsewhere.

“Is that really so?”

Boom! Boom!

At that moment, popping sounds erupted from various places. At the same time, colorful powders began to bloom. Benio smiled and pointed to the spot.

“Could it be that what you took was our belongings or not?”

“ah!”

The girl had a blank expression. She had no idea that their plan would all go awry. Benio snapped his fingers.

“Don’t think that they know everything just because it’s your front yard.”

It was a complete defeat. The girl couldn’t answer and just bit her lips. Then Benio smiled and handed her the pouch she had taken.

“Okay, hold on tight.”

“ah?”

“One, two, three.”

Taaak―!

Phew!

As soon as Benio counted to three, the bag he had been forcing onto the girl burst open. After a while, the girl looked at Benio with a blank expression, covered in red paint.

“If you lose, you have to suffer.”

“this….”

The girl shrugged her shoulders. Then she stuttered and stepped back, speaking to Benio.

“I will never forget this revenge, you!”

“I see. But what is your name?”

The girl paused. Benio shrugged his shoulders and spoke to the girl.

“They seem to be fellow cadets. I should at least know the name of the person I’m seeking revenge against. Then I can trample on them more mercilessly next time.”

As Benio spoke like that, a fighting spirit surged and burned. The girl who encountered such fighting spirit was speechless, but at Benio’s words, anger began to well up inside her.

“Cecil, Cecil Orange.”

“Oh, you are a princess?”

Benio laughed ferociously without calming down his fighting spirit. His appearance was just like a lion laughing. The girl, Cecil, tried not to lose heart as she watched Benio like that.

“And you?”

“Bennio Kepler.”

“Kepler….”

Cecil’s eyes widened slightly. The rumor about Benio had spread to Pyleus. Looking at Cecil’s face, it seemed that the rumors that had spread in a negative direction were still going strong.

So don’t be so surprised when you see Benio.

“How come you are in the exchange war… Are you from the Kepler family…?”

Benio snickered at Cecil’s words. As expected, people only see what they want to see and think what they want to think.

Life is too short to live by correcting each and every one of those things.

“See you at the exchange. Don’t be a pickpocket, you swordsman who doesn’t suit you.”

“What do you know, huh?”

“At least you know that. That everything you prepared was exposed to me?”

“….”

Cecil didn’t answer, just looked at Benio once, then turned around and disappeared. Benio snickered as he watched Cecil like that.

The reason my fingertips tingled was because I felt a sense of triumph.

“Bennio, that princess just now.”

“uh.”

Benio nodded with a smile at Lumen’s words.

“It seems like you and I aren’t the only ones who have bloomed, Lumen.”

“also.”

Cecil Orange.

A faint aura was felt from her. Benio’s keen sense sensed it. Cecile Orange is the princess of the Duchy of Orange. And the prince of the Duchy of Orange is Raphael Orange.

“You are the daughter of the Duke who is called the second coming of King Bathuil the Great.”

* * *

In fact, Benio couldn’t stop all of Cecil’s tricks.

“My pockets are gone!”

“My money!”

The welcoming ceremony at the Philaeus Academy succeeded in taking away about half of the pockets of the Jupiter Academy cadets. It was a kind of loot and a welcoming ceremony.

Benio stopped about half of them. Only Giovanni, Severus, and those who had been warned in advance by Coco were able to protect their belongings.

Even though he was half defeated, from Pyleus’ perspective it was a failure.

This is because the students from the Atullan Academy and the Kragus Academy, who had already arrived before the Jupiter Academy, were literally stripped bare by the students from Pyleus.

This welcoming ceremony ultimately served as a catalyst to heat up the exchange.

Jupiter’s cadets, including Benio, could feel it clearly the moment they entered the dormitory prepared for them.

Eyes of restraint.

Because the Philaeus Academy had specially converted one of the Duke’s villas into a dormitory for the exchange competition, all of the participants in the exchange competition had to stay in the same villa.

That’s why Benio shrugged his shoulders, feeling the gazes of the other academy cadets keeping an eye on him.

“The purpose of an exchange battle is to communicate with each other, right? Not to rush at each other to kill each other, right?”
