The Lazy Genius of the Duke’s Family (66)

My victory is deserved (1)

A martial arts studio in the villa of the Duke of Orange.

As if to show the Orange Duke’s fanatical interest in martial arts, vivid traces of aura were engraved all over the training ground.

Since the traces of those who have reached the realm are excellent teaching materials in themselves, Benio and Lumen appeared in the training grounds where the traces of Aura were preserved intact.

Stop.

When Benio and Lumen appeared, the cadets from other academies who were swinging their weapons in the training ground stopped moving.

An intense competitive spirit and ambition arose in them. Jupiter Academy had always won first place in the Academy Exchange Competition, so they were burning with the determination to surpass Jupiter this time.

After resting today and tomorrow, the fierce competition will begin two days later when the exchange matches begin. In that sense, a war of nerves and exploration has been taking place here, knowingly or unknowingly.

And Jupiter joined the place where only the students of Kragus and Atulan were.

“That cadet is Lumen Meyer.”

“The successor to the Changgong family?”

“Looking at his dignified appearance and even stride, he is truly worthy of being called a singer in the sky.”

Lumen was also a famous figure to the cadets of other academies, as the Margrave Meyer family, a knightly family that supported the Empire, was also famous in other countries.

Moreover, Lumen had already been rumored to be a genius since the beginning of his schooling. However, when his gaze passed Lumen and turned to Benio, everyone’s reaction was mostly one of bewilderment.

“Who is the author?”

“There’s a wooden sword on your waist. It looks like you’re a swordsman.”

“I’ve never heard of it.”

Benio’s name was only known to some extent within the Empire. There was not enough time for his name to spread to other academies, and above all, the previous infamy was too great.

Because of this, even when information was passed on, it was often ignored as being incorrect, so few people recognized Benio.

“Lumen Meyer.”

At that moment, a large cadet from Kragus’s side, who did not look like he was the same age, pretended to know Lumen.

Kragus Academy.

Kragus Academy is an academy run by the Kragus Mountain Kingdom, the ruler of the mountain range known as the Dragon’s Graveyard in the western part of the continent.

The Kingdom of Kragus is a place where over 80% of its land is mountainous, and unlike Jupiter Academy, it is famous for its warrior and ranger schools that use a variety of weapons that can be very effective in mountainous areas, rather than its swordsmanship school.

Benio could tell from the sight of the muscular and muscular looking cadet that he was a graduate of the warrior school.

“Is this Aaron Telveer?”

“You noticed?”

Shh.

Aaron, who was nearly 2m tall, smiled innocently, revealing his teeth. Although his body was as developed as an adult, his face had a youthful look.

“You look taller. Your body looks better.”

“I trained hard. To avenge last year’s defeat.”

“Really? That’s too bad. I guess I won’t be able to achieve that dream this time either.”

“We’ll find out once we try, Lumen Meyer.”

A strong fighting spirit emanated from Aaron. Benio was amazed by Aaron’s pure fighting spirit. Fighting spirit was a different energy from aura.

The will to fight.

To be able to show that level of passion at that age is literally impossible unless you grew up in an environment where fighting wasn’t considered a daily occurrence.

‘They say Kragus is tough, and it seems to be true.’

Before leaving, Benio received an investment of about 20,000 gold from Chris and received brief advice about Kragus and Atulan.

He explained that the Kingdom of Kragus is a country with extremely rugged terrain and is located in the Dragon’s Graveyard, which is like a cradle for monsters, so all the people of the kingdom have the power to fight.

Children born there grow up with weapons as toys rather than dolls from an early age. Then, when they begin to walk, they begin to receive combat training from their parents, and when they become teenagers, they take up weapons to protect their village.

That’s why it was possible to have such speculation.

Benio realized that Lumen, who had defeated Aaron last year, was also a monster.

‘If you push forward with momentum, it’s going to be hard to win.’

If it weren’t for Lumen’s genius, it would be hard to beat Aaron, who was pushing forward with speculation. It couldn’t be any easier because he was young.

“I will win first place this year.”

Aaron looked at Lumen, his determination burning. Aaron had placed third last year. And Lumen had placed second. It was Aaron’s provocation, as he had predicted that Lumen would take first place since the cadet who had placed first last year had graduated.

“What are you talking about? I’m the number one this year.”

But then another voice intervened. It was coming from Atulan. Benio looked at the person with tanned skin and an exotic appearance that was different from that of a continental person.

“Vex Marlene?”

“I had to drop out last year because I got food poisoning, but this year is different!”

The Atulan Kingdom is a southern kingdom that can be found by crossing the boiling ocean beyond the southern part of the continent. Their origins are different from those of the continental people, and their appearance is characterized by their exoticism. They are familiar with the sea, and unlike Kragus, they board ships from the moment they crawl.

It is a country with maritime trade through ships and one of the best maritime powers on the continent. The Atulan Academy is the largest academy operated there, and its navigation department is the largest.

Marlene is the eldest daughter of the Duke of Atulan, and Vex Marlene is her eldest daughter. Benio observed Vex’s lithe body.

Because Vex’s body is designed to live and fight on a rocking ship and is trained to do so, all of its muscles are evenly developed throughout the body to maintain balance no matter how rocking the ship may be.

‘It’s not inferior to my bones.’

Aaron had divine powers, and Vex had a body developed to maintain balance in any position.

“Huh, a strong warrior doesn’t get food poisoning!”

Aaron snorted and laughed at Vex. Vex then screamed.

“Don’t make me laugh! If you come to Atulan, you’ll suffer worse than me. You people on your land don’t understand landsickness!”

If you have seasickness, you also have land sickness. When you get off the ship after a long time, you actually feel seasick on the land where it doesn’t shake.

“I’ve been preparing to land a month in advance to get used to seasickness, so I’ll beat them both this time!”

Vex let out a huff. Benio yawned as he looked at the prodigies from each academy.

“Eww!”

Then, Aaron and Vex looked at Benio, who had been hidden by Lumen. Benio wiped away the tears in his eyes and waved his hand.

“Don’t worry about me and just keep doing what you guys were doing. Lumen, you want to do it when you’re done with your business?”

Lumen came out to the training ground because he asked Benio to spar. But before the sparring even started, flies started flying around, so he got bored.

‘They’re refreshing, but they’re still kids.’

It was quite funny to see the kids fighting like adults. It would be better to just go back and rest, Benio thought, as Lumen grinned.

“Bex, Aaron.”

Lumen called out to Vex and Aaron. Lumen met their gaze and shrugged.

“It looks like you guys aren’t having much luck with matches this year.”

“what?”

“What does that mean?”

Aaron and Vex didn’t even recognize Benio, but Lumen pointed to him.

“That guy beat me.”

“what?”

“I beat you?”

Aaron and Vex looked at Benio with wide eyes. Benio frowned and looked at Lumen, because he had a feeling why Lumen was acting that way.

“Lumen you, fatally.”

“To be frightening, you never said anything about how to spar, did you?”

Lumen smiled. At that moment, a strong fighting spirit was felt. Aaron, stimulated by Lumen’s words, stepped forward with both arms crossed.

“Are you talking about Jupiter’s chief?”

“I think it’s forbidden for cadets to clash with each other before the exchange battle begins.”

Benio shrugged. He didn’t want to get involved in anything annoying. Then Aaron smiled and said to Benio.

“The head coach is very scared this year. Lumen, what’s going on?”

Benio thought it was pretty good. He looked like a dull bear, but he knew how to properly provoke his opponents.

Benio looked at Vex behind Aaron.

“Do you think the same thing?”

“Well, that bear and I are fundamentally different. But this time, we are similar. Jupiter’s chief is a coward.”

The two of them taunted Benio in pairs. Benio let out a small sigh and looked at Lumen.

“Lumen, is this what you wanted?”

“Why, are you scared?”

Lumen also smiled and provoked Benio. Benio shook his head in disbelief.

“You acted like you were going to do it one-on-one.”

“We should do it one-on-one. After they’re all done.”

Lumen seemed quite upset by what Benio had said. Judging from the fact that he had brought Vex and Aaron with him in order to secure a win at any cost.

“then.”

Benio pulled out his wooden sword as if he had no other choice. Then Aaron burst out laughing.

“Jupiter seems to be practicing with a wooden sword. Isn’t that something you use when learning the basics? If you’re going to participate in an exchange match, you should definitely practice with a real sword.”

Sigh.

Aaron pulled out an axe as thick as his torso. Aaron’s main weapon was an axe that matched his size perfectly.

“Yeah, it would be a problem if you blame the weapon for breaking the wooden sword while swinging it.”

Vex raised his hand, looking towards Atulan. In response, a cadet from that direction hurled something that looked like a dark club.

thud!

A long-handled hammer was in Vex’s hand. It was a hammer-shaped weapon used for driving nails when building ships.

Vex smirked as he swung his sledgehammer.

“If you block it wrong, it will break.”

Benio raised his wooden sword as he watched Aaron and Vex show their fighting spirit towards him.

“You make fun of a wooden sword. You’ll only come to your senses if you get hit by this wooden sword until you cry.”

What’s wrong with a wooden sword? Benio thought that they had never been properly hit by a wooden sword. So it wouldn’t be a bad idea to let them experience the greatness of the wooden sword on this good opportunity today.

“Do you know my sorrow that I have to use only a wooden sword because I do not have a weapon that fits my hand?”

Benio muttered as he raised one hand. Then he pointed three fingers at Lumen, Aaron, and Vex at the same time.

“All three of you, come at me at once. Fight them one by one. You never know when you’ll get caught. Today, I’ll show you what it means to be on a different level.”

Benio grinned. Then Aaron came in first, his huge body like a Minotaur, raising his axe over his head.

“Wooooooo!”

Bam!

Where the axe fell, a thick cloud of dust rose up, creating a cloud of dust all around.

* * *

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Cecil tilted his head. It was a sound coming from the training grounds. He was sorry for fooling Professor Zaniolo, but it was nonsense to think that he would just endure it given his personality.

I’ll probably not be able to sleep for days. It’s better to just go and settle this.

In order to find Benio, Cecil sneaked into the duke’s villa. Since it was a place she had played since she was little, she knew how to sneak in.

But, she unconsciously headed towards the training ground due to the loud noise and cheers she heard from there.

and.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Cecil saw Aaron of Kragus swinging his axe, who would not have been strangely large even if he had been a bear. And Benio, who seemed to be playing in the cloud of dust it had created, was seen.

“Bennio Kepler.”

Cecil muttered Benio’s name. Benio was precarious, as it seemed like it would be difficult to avoid the axe.

But the very next moment.

Flash!

A wooden sword disappeared from Cecil’s sight for a moment. Then, Cecil saw Aaron, the bear-like figure who had been swinging an axe, stagger and get pushed away.

Wedge!

bang!

After Kragus was pushed back, a crash and a loud noise were heard. Cecil’s mouth fell open involuntarily as he watched Benio rush towards Aaron, staggering through the clouds of dust like a wild beast.

“beautiful….”
