How a Genius in the Kingdom of Magic Lives

Grand Alchemist, Marquis Sonia.

It is said that the potion she made can save people who are on the verge of death, and the poison she made poisons even dragons.

And the potions she made in the game clearly showed comparable abilities.

‘Sonia was in the Kingdom of Rome when she was young. I had no idea.’

No matter how much Leo was a famous gamer in real life, he didn’t memorize all the NPC’s settings.

Not to mention the crafting NPCs.

“Why are you staring at me like that, my dear?”

Sonia tilted her head and asked.

I’ve been staring too long

Leo, who came to his senses, answered anything.

“Hmm. I want it to be a name that suits me well.”

I regretted it after I said it.

Does the name suit you?

Where is this strange excuse?

“hehehe. Also, right? thank you. It’s the name my mother gave me.”

Unexpectedly, Sonia liked Leo’s praise.

Looking at her, Leo thought.

‘Now that I’ve seen it like this, I can never miss it.’

The importance of potions in living in this world is indescribable.

What would you do if your weak body accidentally stepped on a stone and fell and got hurt?

That alone can break bones and cause serious injuries, but in that case, having a potion that is effective is reassuring.

Even Sonia is a great alchemist.

Later, when that talent is in full bloom, it will be possible to manufacture legendary potions such as elixirs.

And with that, it might be possible to fix the short-lived nature of Leo’s [Heaven-sent talent].

Leo decided to make more points of contact by having a conversation.

“Sonia, what are you learning at this academy?”

“I am studying in an alchemy class. I learn many things, but I have a lot of interest in potions.”

The alchemy class is a non-mainstream system in the mage academy.

That’s also true, everyone wants to learn cool and useful magic, and they don’t want to live in a closet and touch reagents.

Leo knew how to do it a little.

If you look at the magic circle and the recipe you drew while taking the elixir a while ago, it was a kind of alchemy, and the effect was outstanding.

However, since Leo also aimed to become a great wizard who can blow magic or popping from the moment he created this character, he acknowledged the effect of alchemy but did not like it that much.

But what came out of his mouth was the exact opposite.

“That’s really cool. While learning magic, I also often paid attention to alchemy, and the more I learned about it, the more interesting it was.”

“Do you like alchemy too?”

Sonia’s eyes widened.

“Wow! Most of my classmates came saying they were making money, so I didn’t really like anyone, but I’m seeing someone like you for the first time!”

Sonia got excited and started talking.

“Fun! The more you know about alchemy, the more you can do and it is endlessly vast. Sometimes I just want to skip class and everything and do experiments all day in the lab.”

Until recently, she had only let out a fierce laugh, but when the topic of alchemy came up, her eyes completely changed.

Leo is also a little bit, but I was able to guess because I had studied related fields.

Sonia, who had been talking loudly for a while, looked at the time and was startled.

“Ah, but lower. I’m sorry, but I think I have to go now. I was on my way to a lecture.”

“is it?”

“Yes. In fact, it’s still late, so I have to go quickly.”

Leo nodded his head, hiding his regret.

“Then there is nothing you can do. I hope we can talk to you again next time.”

“Yes!! Rather, that’s what I want to say! There are very few people who can talk about alchemy like this!”

Sonia spoke with twinkling eyes, greeted her hastily, and went down the stairs.

I’m worried that if I run fast, I won’t fall down.

Leo and Celise also moved on again.

Celise asked as they went.

“Lowering. Were you always interested in alchemy?”

“no.”

“No? But just before, why… .”

“That friend named Sonia looked very talented. So I tried to talk while adjusting.”

“??”

Celise immediately said what this meant.

He looks like he’s 5 years older than Leo. Putting aside the fact that he’s a friend, can you recognize his talent at a glance?

“Is that so?”

“yes. Wasn’t it in Celise’s eyes?”

“well. I don’t know much because I don’t have much knowledge in that field.”

To be honest, she was a bit of an idiot-looking girl.

tone of voice, demeaning behavior, etc. She was the complete opposite of the well-mannered Celise.

‘Even though my eyes sparkled when I talked about alchemy… .’

Was it enough to recognize talent in such a short time?

“If it is you, then it must be so.”

However, Celise had no doubts.

It wasn’t just once or twice that Prince Leo was with him every moment and he acted out.

It was strange at the time, but they were all the right choices later on.

I thought so because

“Sonia should be called separately later so we can talk more. That’s done, let’s go again… .”

That was the moment.

– Damn!

A crackling sound came from far down the stairs.

Leo thought the sound was quite familiar.

‘This is exactly what Patrick said when he was slapped in the hallway by Kizan.’

At first I thought it was just a similar sound.

But no.

“How dare you, a lowly commoner, still wear silver hair?”

What followed was a man’s angry voice.

Leo and Celise stopped in their tracks.

* * *

Sonia was slapped on the cheek with a puzzled look on her face.

“ah… .”

She held onto one cheek, which had turned red, and looked at the person who had hit her.

A man with brown hair and wildly torn eyes.

“Yo, John… .”

“Tsk. For something lowly to say my name.”

“… … .”

“Anyway, answer me. I must have said it before. Next time you see him, get rid of that naughty silver hair.”

“This is not dyed on purpose, it was a mistake in an experiment.”

“No matter what, if the noble told you to clean it up, it would be right to clean it up. You’re out of your mind.”

John raised his hand again.

Sonia closed her eyes tightly.

She knew that this was a useless pod.

That he was a commoner, and that he was harassing him to relieve stress.

But rebellion was not even dreamed of.

Avoid or block it, and greater retaliation will follow.

Just calmly take a few hits and this moment will pass.

That was the moment.

“What are you doing?”

A cold voice was heard.

Not because of my mood, it really felt like the temperature around me had dropped by 1-2 degrees.

Sonia carefully opened her eyes. What I saw was Prince Leo, whom I had been talking with a while ago.

He was looking this way with a cold expression.

“You there. Why is there no answer?”

Leo looked at John.

John was staring at Leo with his eyes wide open.

He was rude, but not insensitive.

‘Silver hair and silver eyes. no way… Royalty?’

Beautiful silver hair and silver eyes, different from the fake silver hair dye that is popular in the capital city, and a look that would surely be called handsome when he grows up, even though he is still young, stood out.

Come to think of it, I remembered that the royal family was supposed to visit during today’s academy schedule.

why did you eat this?

John immediately bowed down.

“Nice to meet you, my dear. I am the third son of Viscount Borden, Johann.”

“I am Leo Essian Rom Karst.”

Prince Leo!

John widened his eyes.

Most of the students at this academy knew about Leo’s rumors.

A royal genius wizard. Since the beginning of the era, the most talented royalty, etc.

Even if it included exaggeration, it was already known to many people that Leo was unusual.

“It is an honor to meet you, my lord. As a mage, I have admired you from before.”

Make sure to read from noble mtl . com

John bowed even deeper.

It was the best courtesy a noble could do.

Leo looked at him.

They said it was the same wizard, but it was only at the level of 1st class.

‘And hit Sonia?’

What a giant he will become later!

I wondered why she, a native of the kingdom, became a marquis of the empire, but I wondered if she might have left this country because of these guys.

“Yes John. What happened? Why is Sonia sitting here beaten up?”

“ah… This commoner dared to dye his hair like the royal family, so he ordered the hair dyed in case the royal family’s honor would be damaged. But I didn’t listen… .”

Leo frowned.

What kind of ridiculous excuse is that?

This was just a pod grabbing and bullying.

“Is your reputation damaged? You mean, that royal honor is determined only by the color of your hair?”

“That, that’s not it.”

Make sure to read from noble mtl . com

John shook his head in thought.

To say the wrong thing here could be an insult to royalty.

John bowed as if he were about to prostrate himself.

“I’m so sorry, my lord. I was ignorant and made a mistake. If you punish me, I will accept it sweetly.”

“… … .”

Leo stared down at the back of his head.

I wanted to beat him coolly like this, but that wasn’t his job.

It’s something Sonia has to do herself.

“Then apologize to Sonia. Didn’t you make a mistake?”

“that’s… .”

“Why. I don’t want to apologize because I’m a commoner, is this?”

“no. I’ll apologize right away. Lowering.”

Make sure to read from noble mtl . com

John went straight to Sonia and got down on one knee.

“I’m sorry. Please accept my apology.”

“Are you going to apologize first after hitting me?”

“… You can hit me if you want.”

Make sure to read from noble mtl . com

John said with a confused expression.

Sonia was still trembling after hearing that.

Leo looked at Sonia.

You can’t see John because his back is turned, but he conveyed the words through his mouth.

I can hit you. If he says anything, I’ll stop him.

However, Sonia shook her head slightly and said.

“Yeah, I will forgive you.”

“thank you.”

John smiled.

He got up again and greeted Leo politely.

“I apologized as you said.”

“… yes. Let’s go.”

“Yes, I understand. Once again, I’m sorry for bothering you. I look forward to seeing you again next time, sir.”

John leaves without losing his manners until the end.

Leo looked at Sonia.

“Why did you just send it? If you were like me, I would have beaten you ten or a hundred times.”

“… lol. no, low. If you did that to John, it could cause serious trouble later.”

“A big deal?”

“That… Johan-nim is the son of a viscount, so he has a fairly high status in this academy. And I am a member of the student council… .”

Leo immediately understood what she was talking about.

That is to say, even if they hit him a few times now, he would be retaliated against after Leo left.

Leo wasn’t always there, so it was definitely impossible to stop him from harassing him subtly.

“Looks like they are harassing me for being a commoner, but as far as I know, I heard that all students at the academy do not share hierarchical relationships?”

“It is. Officially.”

Unofficially, that was not the case.

Sparks flew from Leo’s eyes.

He wasn’t a righteous person, but at least he wasn’t the type to stand still watching a scene like this right in front of his eyes.

In addition, he was even more angry because it happened to Sonia, who would become his colleague (?).

“Have you talked to the professors?”

“John is good to the professors, so even if I talk about it, it won’t be of much use. Some people may not believe it.”

It’s a typical strong-weak-weak case.

Make sure to read from noble mtl . com

Just looking at what he did in front of Leo himself, it is clear that he seems to throw away everything including his pride in front of those in power.

“yes. understood.”

Leo nodded.

Of course, understanding it didn’t mean I was going to see it and pass it on.

Leo looked at Sonia.

“Could you please direct me to the professor who teaches John?”
