How a Genius in the Kingdom of Magic Lives

After Leo finished talking with the duke, he moved back to the prisoner of war camp.

I didn’t expect to visit here twice in one day, and again in such a short time.

The place where Countess Ermeri was imprisoned was the farthest solitary cell in the concentration camp.

It was a solitary confinement, and it was a spacious and comfortable place, probably built from the beginning for the imprisonment of nobles.

Countess Ermeri was sitting there without any special supervision, with only her mana restraint restraints on.

As Leo approached, she opened her eyes.

“… You’re awake. Lowering.”

“Countess Ermery.”

Leo made a confused expression.

I heard that it had only been a little over a day since she passed out, but she was more emaciated than before.

However, contrary to his appearance, he had grown up on the inside.

‘That’s great. Are you sure you’ve gone a step further than before?’

Perhaps thanks to the blood serum that Leo had ingested, Countess Ermeri’s prayers had evolved even more than before.

It wasn’t a complete step up, but more stable prayer and mana control than before stood out.

Originally, he was a Leo who noticed such things well, but now that he had risen to the 4th rank, he could clearly see it.

“I’m glad you’re okay. And… , you have achieved. Congratulations.”

And just as Leo recognized her progress, Countess Hermery saw right through him.

“thank you. This is all thanks to the Countess.”

Leo smiled and said.

It was a joke I wanted to lighten the mood, but immediately Countess Hermery’s expression darkened.

“sorry. No matter how much I had a seizure, I was trying to kill you… . It’s a unilaterally broken deal. Even if you punish me like this, I will not hold any grudge against you.”

“… … .”

Leo was dumbfounded.

‘Why did you lose confidence so much in just one day?’

Of course, if you roll your eyes and attack like yesterday, that’s a problem in itself, but I didn’t expect you to be so depressed.

However, it was natural for Countess Hermery.

‘I… Almost killing Prince Leo with my own hands… .’

It didn’t matter that he tried to kill the royal family.

Leo was the possibility she had been looking for for a long time.

Almost the only possibility to trace her husband’s cause of death.

He didn’t even hesitate to join the criminal group Casein Guild to find it.

The reason why she came all the way to the western edge of Rome Kingdom was because she had heard that Leo had come here.

Look after him and help him go one step further, so that he can reach the 5th rank as soon as possible.

But even though I couldn’t help, I almost killed him with my own hands.

‘It’s pitiful.’

Power is only a means, but it has eaten it up.

The sorcerer, who had to be cool, couldn’t control himself and was taken advantage of.

What could be more pitiful than this?

Because of those thoughts, Countess Ermeri herself had a time of penitence here.

“Ehh.”

Leo let out a sigh.

“Looks like you’ve been gripped by blood magic madness. Is that correct?”

“… You really don’t know anything about me. How did you know about blood magic?”

“I like books, so I looked at this and that by accident.”

The excuse that comes out easily is a book.

However, Countess Hermery had no doubts.

As long as it is a book that the royal family Leo can read, he will be able to read knowledge that is not well known in the world.

“Yes. It’s all my responsibility. I will endure whatever punishment you inflict.”

“countess. What I said earlier is not empty.”

“… Yes?”

“Didn’t I say that thanks to you, I reached the 4th rank? Whatever the process, in the end it was a good thing.”

Leo grinned.

“It’s not long until our deal now.”

A deal to help her by learning frost tracking.

Of course, going from the 4th to the 5th is a completely different story, but it really wasn’t that far off.

“You will help me a lot in the future.”

“… … .”

Leo held out his hand.

I meant to forgive her.

Countess Hermery did not say much.

I just quietly closed my eyes.

‘this person is… .’

Indescribable emotions swirl around.

After closing her eyes for a moment, she answered quietly.

“… Okay. i look forward to. Lowering.”

A small smile crept across her lips.

* * *

A few more weeks passed.

During the postwar process, Leo continued to reside in the Duchy.

It was because both Leo and Celise needed a process of adapting to a new level.

Leo spent most of his day in meditation.

‘Also. Starting from the 4th rank, it’s not easy.’

mage’s realm.

Unlike the 1st to 3rd ranks, one of the world’s highest ranks who are treated as true wizards.

Leo was currently a ‘Prism-level’ mage, but when he thought of the path he would go up, he laughed out loud.

Leo’s talent instinctively whispered.

The road ahead is going to be a very rough one.

‘At the age of 20, 9th grade. Can I do it?’

Less than 10 years left now.

Is this the life of a terminally ill person who moves toward death day by day?

His confidence suddenly disappeared, but Leo shook his head to dispel the thought.

Negative thoughts only eat people.

I went outside to get some fresh air to refresh my mind.

Looking towards the gymnasium, I saw two familiar people today.

“So, Sir Sellis. Am I telling you well?”

“it’s okay.”

Duke Lyont was half-clingingly talking to Sellies, who was training alone in the corner of the gymnasium.

“Don’t do that. Do you know how many prosecutors ask me to teach them just one move?”

“I also consider it an honor to learn the sword from the duke. I am also looking forward to it.”

“then… ?”

“Of course, if you teach me, I will learn with a grateful heart. However, you cannot become the Duke’s disciple. My place is next to you.”

“Okay… .”

Duke Lyant touched his forehead.

“There is no stubbornness like this stubbornness.”

However, even as he said those words, the Duke’s lips did not stop smiling.

On the contrary, such a persevering appearance was more appealing to me.

“What are you doing, Duke? Stop bothering Celise.”

Leo clicked his tongue and approached.

Then the peacock cleared his throat and opened his mouth.

“Lowering. Didn’t you say Sir Sellise had been learning the sword for a little over a year?”

“you’re right.”

“To be able to reach the level of an expert in one year. It’s been over 50 years since I’ve held a sword, but I’ve never seen such a talent.”

Sword Expert.

Drexla’s talent, admired since she taught, exploded here.

Originally, it was Sellies who had not stopped working hard for the past year.

Just as Leo reduced his sleep at night to raise his level of magic, she also practiced until dawn under Leo’s consideration.

In addition, thanks to Leo, he was even given the elixir by the king, so the foundation was already in place.

‘Still, it was truly amazing that he had progressed to the next level during the battle with Countess Ermeri.’

It’s the same for me, but I was amazed at how exactly it could be.

“So it is. Lowering. Please send me Lord Sellise.”

Duke Lyant’s eyes burned.

The highest ranking aristocrat in the country, with the title of lord and duke of the west, and the skill of being the number one sword in the kingdom.

Even as a knight, Duke Lyant’s prestige was shaking even other countries.

If he were to visit the Empire right away, there would be a lot of knights who wanted to say hello.

Sellise’s talent was so great that he courted her hundreds of times.

Leo hid the corner of his mouth trying to let out a laugh.

“Absolutely not. Celise will be with me for the rest of my life. Now I’m going to ask my father to formally give me a knighthood instead of a maid.”

Talent like that came into my hands and I can’t miss it.

His talent as a wizard was the best, but his weakness was Leo himself.

He has the potential to become the best escort knight to fill that gap.

can never pass

“Lowering. Don’t do that. A knighthood can be given enough in a duchy… .”

“I don’t like it. I’m not buying it!”

The duke continues to persuade with a regretful expression.

Eventually, Leo grabbed Celise’s hand and ran away.

* * *

After finishing the case in the duchy, Leo returned to the capital.

Countess Ermery had expressed her gratitude to Leo until the end.

-Lowering. I look forward to meeting you later.

– Neither do I.

-then… I’ll see you as I’ve grown one step further. I think it’s possible if I digest well what you gave me.

Countess Ermery grinned.

-Oh, and please contact Sujeong-gu from time to time.

-Yes. Whatever happens, I do it.

It seems that the anguish is no longer in my head.

Recalling the conversation at that time, Leo smiled.

‘I’m going to go up a notch. Can you say with such confidence that you will rise to the 6th rank?’

Currently, those who are at the top among human wizards are the 6th class.

The level of each kingdom’s court mage was 6th class, and only the empire’s court mage was stepping into the 7th class hierarchy.

In such a situation, Countess Hermery announced that she would step up there at the age of not yet 30.

But the funny thing is, Leo also felt like it would be possible if it was her.

‘I also removed the side effects of blood magic. It definitely gave me motivation. It could really be possible.’

Isn’t that enough to be the youngest 6th class ever?

Maybe he will become the fourth great mage in history.

For now, she was the most likely.

Although Leo himself will break it in a few years.

‘Of course, I shouldn’t be arrogant just because I reached the 6th rank.’

Even within the same 6 classes, the level within them is divided into thousands of degrees.

At the level of Marquis Merverd in our kingdom, you can easily defeat two or three mages of the 6th class.

It was from the 6th class that the range was so wide and the difference in level was large.

And if you include the non-human races, there are quite a few strong people who go beyond that.

When I thought so, I let out a sigh.

‘It’s a long way to go, far.’

Others praise him as a genius and all, but he has just arrived at the 4th rank.

You can’t be content and content here.

Still, Leo smiled.

Seeing that, Selise, who was riding in the carriage with her, asked.

“Are you in a good mood, my dear?”

“Ahh. Aren’t you going to go see our cuties’ faces after a long time?”

Alice and Kizan.

I already laughed at the thought of seeing those little kids.

“… … .”

Celise looked at Leo with a strange expression.

After all, they are older sisters and older brothers, so to speak like that.

So Leo returned to the royal castle.

I left the tidying up to Celise and started walking down the hallway.

‘Should I go to Elise first or Kizan?’

After thinking about it for a while, I headed towards Elise’s room.

Because that tomboy could get mad because he didn’t come to find him first.

However, that was the moment.

– Damn it.

A crackling sound was heard.

Unknowingly, I turned my head and saw that a silver-haired boy had slapped one of the attendants on the cheek.

“Sorry, sorry, low.”

That boy was his older brother, Kizan, whom Leo was familiar with.

The servant bowed his head in front of Kizan, and Kizan only looked at the servant with an angry expression.

Leo was dumbfounded.

‘… what is this.’

that guy that

After I haven’t seen you in months, why are you being a jerk again?
