The Lazy Genius of the Duke’s Family (71)

The sound of throwing ashes at someone else’s party (1)

Benio became the main character of the whirlwind.

After defeating Cecil in the swordsmanship department and proudly taking first place in the name of Jupiter, Benio surprised the world by participating in the magic department’s exchange competition.

Hurrruk!

“What is that?”

“It’s a flame body. It’s a magic that fuses the body with magic to allow you to overcome physical limitations….”

Benio had no trouble at all. The Magic Faculty Exchange Competition was a competition where the participating students competed to see how unique their magic was.

This required creativity, originality, and a delicate sense of magic.

Creating new magic.

It was never an easy task. Furthermore, for cadets who had not yet reached the level of a fully-fledged magician, and who had only reached the level of the 1st or 2nd circle, even moving magical power was difficult.

In that respect, the one who stood out the most was Coco, who was one step ahead of the other cadets.

3 circle magician.

In the swordsmanship department exchange competition, almost every academy produced geniuses who blossomed into Aurors in their teens, but in the magic department, Coco was the only one to reach that level.

But what received more attention than Coco was Benio.

This is because the other Academy students reacted in a ridiculous way when they heard that Benio, the number one student in the swordsmanship department, was participating in the magic department exchange competition.

Benio is not just a participant, he is also the number one ranked swordsmanship student.

This means that not only did he beat other cadets and take first place in swordsmanship, but he also had talent in magic, but most people responded that such a person could not exist.

That’s why the crowd gathered like clouds.

This is because everyone was curious as to whether Benio really had talent for magic, and if so, to what extent.

And the Duke of Orange and Cecil were there too.

Hurrruk!

“Hmm.”

The Orange Prince showed his honest reaction as he looked at Benio’s arm burning red. He was surprised. It couldn’t be helped, because the Orange Prince saw through Benio’s flame body with a single glance.

“So that’s how you can use magic and swords together. A body with no physical limitations.”

Of course, the fact that there are no physical limits doesn’t mean that you won’t bleed when cut by a sword or anything like that. That’s because it’s not a flame element, but an invincibility magic.

However, this means that there are no structural limitations that a body should inevitably have.

That means that the arm can attack by bending it at an angle that the arm cannot bend.

‘If your proficiency in flame magic increases, you will be able to control the length and size of your body.’

The strength and agility within it will be affected by the level of a knight, but the very fact that it has such variables means that the number of cases for the enemies that have to deal with Benio increases significantly.

‘It’s a magic that suits the fire attribute aura. Was it something you did on purpose? No, can that child use magic with an aura?’

Having reached the Master, the Orange Prince has seen a little more than others. However, as long as he does not understand martial arts, his curiosity will never be satisfied.

“Cecil?”

“….”

The Duke of Orange looked at Cecil. Cecil was looking at Benio, who was creating arms out of flames as if possessed by something.

The Duke of Orange called Cecil loudly out of spite for no reason.

“Cecil!”

“Ah! That’s a surprise! Abamama! I was surprised!”

Then, Cecil was startled and rebuked the Duke of Orange. The Duke of Orange narrowed his eyes and looked at Cecil, then at Benio, then at Cecil again and said.

“What are you staring at like that for? Did you fall in love at first sight or something?”

Cecil has been in a daze since yesterday. It is because of the defeat she suffered. Cecil had been proud that no one among her peers could defeat her with a sword, but that pride was shattered yesterday.

However, the guy who defeated Cecil was a talented person, and he showed talent not only in swordsmanship but also in magic.

He didn’t show any magic yesterday. That means that even yesterday, when he defeated Cecil overwhelmingly, Benio wasn’t at his best.

“no!”

Cecil jumped in surprise. She was shocked because Benio didn’t give it his all.

What if Benio had used that flame magic?

‘Definitely a loss.’

Perhaps he had been defeated without even being able to swing his sword properly. Cecil felt firsthand that he was nothing more than a frog in a well.

“yes?”

The Duke of Orange smiled in relief as he watched Cecil jump up and down. However, his face soon became distorted at Cecil’s words.

“But I must keep my promise, Abamama.”

“Is that really the promise?”

“Yes, then, Father. When will you call me to the palace?”

Cecil smiled slyly at the Duke of Orange. Benio defeated Cecil. That meant he had passed the first checkpoint.

Then, what remains is the recognition of the Prince of Orange.

Cecil suggested that the Duke of Orange try the second gate in order to keep his word. He didn’t even understand the feelings of the Duke of Orange, who was a man of few words.

“And then what do you think will happen if you get my approval?”

The Duke of Orange said this to test Cecil. But inside, he was crying out for her to say no.

However, one’s inner thoughts cannot be heard by others. Cecil nodded after seeing Benio’s well-toned arm muscles as he shook off the sparks after canceling the flame magic.

“They may be a bit unlucky, but aren’t they a decent opponent? They’re a family that can be a rival to the duchy. Like the Kepler family.”

Cecil’s words were absolutely right.

If it’s Kepler of Amoria, he’s the number one son-in-law. He’s also the prince of the Duchy of Orange, so he’s not inferior to them.

Besides, it is not a loss for the Duchy of Orange to become in-laws with the Kepler family, which is a wealthy family. However, even if it is a hundred times reasonable, it cannot comfort one person’s heart.

“Even if dirt gets in my eyes, that guy won’t do it!”

The Prince of Orange shouted at Cecil.

Reserve.

Benio dug his ear without realizing it. It was ticklish, like someone was swearing. At that moment, Coco approached Benio.

“Cadet Benio.”

“Yes, Cadet Coco.”

Coco smiled at Benio.

“Come prepared with new magic next time.”

“Well, I guess so. I thought that would be enough.”

Benio got third place. Coco’s magic from the Magician got first place, and a student from Atulan got second place. The reason Benio got third place was simple.

Because it’s exactly the same magic that was shown in the preliminary round.

Unlike the other cadets, Benio entered the competition with only one spell, so despite his originality, he was pushed to third place.

But if you think about it differently, it means that the same thing came out twice and took third place.

‘It’s okay.’

Benio, who thought it wasn’t bad, looked at Coco and his eyes lit up.

“Isn’t this a showdown now?”

“There’s some left.”

“I have to get first place.”

Coco met Benio’s eyes and smiled brightly. Even in Coco’s eyes, fighting spirit was burning.

“of course.”

“Please take care of me.”

“It’s me.”

A competition is not something that can be won by just one or two people doing well. Since numerous factors are organically intertwined, everyone must work together.

But that’s usually the case.

‘I won’t even look at you and will just smash you to pieces in the first place.’

If there is an area where the swordsmanship and magic departments can come into play, it would be a battle of conquest or a battle of siege. This means that there will be a condition for winning if you form a group and occupy more points than your opponent or if you conquer more of something.

Since it will be a competition created by putting all of the faculty’s capabilities into it in Pyleus, the competition will be held under conditions that are almost realistic.

There, Benio planned to go all out and destroy everything from the beginning without leaving any room for error. Because if the number of cadets competing in the competition is reduced, Jupiter will take first place, and Benio will be able to take first place overall with his best major.

When Benio was burning with more enthusiasm than ever, someone came looking for him.

“Cadet Benio?”

“Oh, that professor?”

Benio’s eyes widened. It was Professor Zaniolo who had come to see Benio. Then Zaniolo scratched the back of his head and looked at Coco.

“Were you talking?”

“No. You two should talk. Okay.”

Coco rose gracefully and disappeared from sight. Then Professor Zaniolo asked Benio with a serious expression.

“Are you in a relationship?”

“Yes? No.”

Benio shook his head. Are you and Coco lovers? Why would a professor from Pyleus ask that? Zaniolo nodded.

“I was not interested in your private life, so please forgive my rudeness. Let me introduce myself again. My name is Professor Zaniolo of Pyleus.”

“Yes, this is Benio Kepler.”

Benio rolled his eyes at the thought of a professor being so polite to him.

He was wearing a mask that he showed to others over his original appearance. But the funny thing is that he didn’t hide that fact.

He claims to be a professor of counterintelligence, but it seems he deliberately makes it seem like he is doing that in real life.

“Would you please come with me for a moment? There is someone you are looking for.”

“Me?”

“Yes, the Prince of Orange would like to meet the cadet.”

Prince of Orange. Benio’s eyes, which had been interested in him, widened slightly. Benio nodded to Professor Zaniolo.

“I will meet you.”

* * *

“Stop! Who are you!”

The southern gate of the free trade city of Pyleus. The gate knight, who was suffering from a surge of work due to the onlookers and merchants flocking from all over the continent for the Academy Exchange, raised his hand toward the six-horse carriage approaching the nobles-only entrance.

‘A six-horse carriage. At least a count’s level or higher.’

A six-horse carriage pulled by six horses is a carriage used by at least a count or higher. That is why the castle knight spoke with great tension.

“Please identify yourself.”

Then one of the knights took off his helmet. Then his blond hair fell down like a waterfall. The knight opened his mouth without realizing it at the sight of a familiar face.

‘Night Elegant!’

This is because the elegant knight, Allen Letellier, who caused a stir in the hearts of many noble ladies of the capital, presented his seal to the knight of the city gate.

“His Excellency Duke Dives Kepler of the Kepler family has come to observe the Academy Competition.”

The elegant knight, at Allen’s words, the city knight quickly checked the seal and saluted.

“Welcome to Pyleus!”

“Thank you. Thank you for your hard work.”

Allen pushed his helmet back down, his handsome face now hidden by the helmet. As he disappeared inside, pulling the six-horse carriage, the gatekeeper let out a long sigh.

“Hello, Your Excellency Duke Kepler.”

But then, a cloud of dust rose from afar. Then, a carriage drawn by eight white horses appeared. The moment he saw it, the castle gate knight’s body froze.

“Wow, eight-headed carriage….”

The eight-headed chariot was a symbol that only royalty or the imperial family could use. Among them, the eight-headed chariot pulled by eight white horses was the symbol of the empire.

“The Imperial Family of the Amoria Empire!”

The gatekeeper frowned. Why did all these big shots have to come one after another when it was his turn? In times like these, even a slight change in the angle of the salute would cause trouble.

Knock knock!

After a while, a horse-drawn carriage arrived. The gatekeeper stopped it and shouted at it as he had to Duke Kepler.

“Please identify yourself!”

At that moment, the carriage window opened and a white, delicate hand came out through it. And at that moment, a gleaming silver badge appeared. The gatekeeper forcibly moved his stiff legs and arms to check the silver badge.

“Welcome to the trading city of Pyleus! Your Majesty, Valerie Amoria!”

After the Emperor’s only sister passed by, the gatekeeper felt like he wanted to collapse on his back, but he didn’t have time.

“If this news gets out, more nobles will flock here.”

It seems like leaving work on time today is out of the question again.
