How a Genius in the Kingdom of Magic Lives

Several months have passed since I went to the academy to look for jewels.

The year passed and Leo turned 11 years old.

In terms of age, I am 13 years old in Korean.

It is around 6th grade of elementary school.

“This is Kirani from 6th grade. How good it would have been if I had looked like this in modern times.”

Leo looked in the mirror and was amazed.

The growth hormone worked hard last winter, but it seems that handling mana also affected the growth of the body.

Of course, I ate well and slept well for my growth.

Thanks to that, he grew tall enough to be close to 170.

Not only was he significantly taller than his peers, but his future was even more anticipated.

The body specs are garbage, but at least Heo Woo Dae is fine!

Leo got up early in the morning and put on his clothes and went outside.

Because he was Leo who was dissatisfied with his youthful appearance due to his mental age, at least he liked his current appearance.

Today, too, I was moving for a lesson with the Marquis of Merverd.

‘Now I’ve gotten used to the 4th class using gloves.’

Over the past few months, Leo has been practicing a lot with the Gloves of King Karst.

The glove with the jewel attached showed the full power of the artifact.

A glove that has the effect of increasing the power of magic.

Especially since it was used by King Karst, the ability of Frost Breath increased dramatically.

Regardless of whether it is a wizard or a knight, it is important for those who handle mana to fully understand their skills.

There is nothing more dangerous than clumsy power.

It was because he had to be able to accurately grasp his strength and compare it with his opponent in order to survive for a long time in this dangerous world.

That’s why Leo spent several months checking his strength.

He spent most of his time focusing only on magic, often forgetting to eat, so honestly, he didn’t even realize the time had passed.

Maybe it’s because he’s a gifted talent, but when he concentrated once, he didn’t even know if there was an explosion next to him.

After spending a lot of time like that, I was blocked by a wall a while ago.

It was an impenetrable wall with simple training.

‘Now I have to go through various experiences and make my inner self bigger.’

It’s like getting experience points by catching monsters in the game.

However, in this case, not only hunting monsters is sufficient, but also experiencing various experiences that have not been done before.

While growth was blocked, Leo looked around.

– Basrak.

He picked up the letter lying on the table.

These were things I had sent to various places over the past few months.

I didn’t deliberately look at it to see if it would affect my training, but I finally opened it.

The owner of the topmost letter was a familiar person.

[Dear Leo.]

‘It’s Sonia.’

The future great alchemist I met at the academy.

Originally a 4th grade senior, she graduated safely, and now started working as an apprentice at an alchemy studio in the capital.

[This is the first stamina boost potion I successfully made. I made it because the lower body is weak. It’s a trivial item, but it would be nice if you would be happy to accept it.]

Leo read the letter and smiled.

Working in a place like an alchemy workshop wasn’t easy.

An alchemist who has just become an apprentice can only do chores such as preparing materials or preparing reagents for several months, and only when his efforts are recognized can he finally start his first production.

Sonia used that precious opportunity for Leo after hearing how he was out of shape.

When I turned my gaze to the side, I saw a potion bottle among the packages that came with it.

It was a potion containing a black liquid.

The color is a bit unpleasant, but since it was made by her, it’s probably not poisonous.

‘And it doesn’t matter much if it’s poison.’

For Leo, who took the serum, the moderate amount of poison could not have any effect.

Leo took off the lid of the potion bottle.

Since Sonia’s skills aren’t that good yet, it’s probably just a nutritional tonic.

It cannot heal Leo’s cursed body.

Still, the sincerity was so admirable.

As soon as I took a quick gulp, a bitter taste ran up my tongue.

Leo frowned.

‘I’ll have to ask them to improve the taste later.’

The letters that do exist after that are from the Duke of Lyant or the Marquis of Gessen.

I also sneakily opened the duke’s letter.

[Dear low. I heard that you’ve been immersed in training lately. That sounds like good news. And how is Sir Sellise? Now I’m thinking of becoming my disciple… ]

I read a little bit and put it away right away.

* * *

Leo woke up early in the morning and went out into the corridor.

This time was the time for tutoring with the Marquis of Merverde.

‘Well?’

Leo felt strange again and looked around.

For the past few months, I had been focusing on my magic training and adapting my gloves, so I couldn’t afford to pay attention to anything else.

Now I can look around a bit… , the atmosphere was unusual.

‘There’s a strange tension flowing in the royal palace.’

Physical abilities suck, but one of these senses is an excellent Leo.

That’s what he felt, and he felt tension from the people in the royal castle.

The knights were armed more heavily than usual, and the expressions of the servants and maids were strangely hardened.

‘Since when has it been like this?’

Feeling puzzled, Leo headed to the place where Marquis Merverd was waiting.

* * *

“Welcome, low.”

Marquis Merverde greeted Leo with a warm smile.

Since it was an extracurricular class that was repeated every day, the Marquis sat Leo down and went straight into class.

“First of all, I will go over what I learned yesterday. First of all, according to the conduction of space… .”

“Wait a minute, Marquis.”

Leo stopped the marquis.

The Marquis looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Normally, the two of them only do classes dryly.

Leo wanted it, and the Marquis liked it too.

If you are a wizard, you have to talk with magic, there is no need for other words!

But this time, even Leo couldn’t help it.

“When I came here today, the atmosphere in the palace was strange. Everyone seemed nervous. Just in case the Marquis knows something.”

Originally, he could have heard the news through Sellies.

However, it was difficult to see her face these days.

After attending the academy, he is training swordsmanship more diligently than Leo.

Except for 3-4 hours of bedtime, I spent most of my time at the gymnasium.

It was a place where royal knights trained, and the passion was so great that all the knights who were training together sighed looking at her.

In any case, since it was such a situation, there was a high probability that Celise was unaware of this atmosphere as well.

“Heh heh. It’s not a matter of great concern to you.”

“What is it? I wish I knew.”

“It’s about international politics.”

“Then I should know more.”

You have to respond in line with the rapidly changing times, and if you practice only in the corner of your room, the country could be destroyed before you turn 20.

‘That’s because it’s the world that’s the opening.’

said Leo.

“I also learned some politics. It’s good enough to understand.”

“Of course I know that, but… .”

Marquis Merverde put on a troubled expression.

Leo isn’t just good at magic.

He showed excellent ability in subjects in the field of intellectual knowledge, and his insight into the future was also great.

Based on the talent level of comprehension 10, he immediately understood what he saw or learned, and he impressed scholars by solving it as if he knew it in advance.

A genius who already has scholarly knowledge in many fields, not just magic!

It was the perception of the people of Wangseong who saw Leo.

Marquis Merverde sighed weakly.

“You don’t have to worry about this yet. It is better to focus only on training, since it only makes your head complicated.”

“I am also a member of the royal family. I can’t be the only one who doesn’t know the important news. That would be a betrayal of royal duty.”

With Leo saying that, the Marquis had nothing to say.

Finally, he nodded his head with a sigh.

“In fact, there was an official announcement from Abyss yesterday.”

“Abyss?”

east of the continent.

A land ruled by different races.

It is dominated by heterogeneous tribes with tyrannical natures, and they set their sights on the land of humans.

In fact, going back in history, there have been numerous wars.

The most recent war was 300 years ago, and the five heroes were victorious and drove them out.

‘Was it already time for the Abyss to move?’

Leo tilted his head.

He knew the dangers of the Abyss well.

It was, of course, where I was paying the most attention.

Raising Gawain was ultimately to look into the information of the Abyss.

However, as far as Leo knew, the time was not right for them to act.

It should have been quiet for a few more years, but it was normal.

“Yes. They said that a new grand duke was born in the Abyss. It is said that the former Vampire Lord stepped down and a new Lord was born. The position of the 7th Grand Duke has been replaced.”

‘Ah, that’s it.’

Vampire Lord Garibaldi.

It seemed that he had revealed himself in public.

I expected this to happen from the time I defeated Charpeng.

“Aren’t you surprised?”

When Leo looked calmer than expected, Marquis Merverde asked.

Leo shrugged.

“Well, I think it could be. Because the former Vampire Lord lived a long time. A generational shift could happen at any time.”

“You have excellent knowledge.”

“But is the newly inaugurated Vampire Lord enough to make our kingdom so nervous?”

“It’s because we’ve decided to dispatch troops to the reception area, Hydra’s Dokji, just in case.”

The largest country in the formation of humans is the Julis Empire.

Because of its mighty national power and wide land mass, it played the role of the leader of humans and bordered the Abyss.

Among them, the area that came into contact with the vampires was a place called ‘Hydra’s Dokji’.

“Did you ask for support from the Empire?”

“Yes. It seems that he is fully prepared because he does not know the tendency of the new Vampire Lord. If he’s belligerent, you’d better be prepared.”

Leo nodded.

But as he knew, this time it wouldn’t go to a major battle.

While maintaining tension, the situation came to an abrupt end.

‘Hydra’s poison… . Come to think of it, one of Garibaldi’s monsters was a hydra.’

Originally, the Hydra, which only stayed in its own territory, ran out of its house one day and advanced in the direction of the Empire.

It turned out that Garibaldi had manipulated it, but like a terrifying monster, it caused tremendous damage to the empire.

‘Because of his ability to turn the surroundings into poisonous ground just by breathing, he is impossible to approach below a certain level.’

Of course, there is no big problem with Leo now.

As long as you don’t get hit by a direct hit, you won’t take any damage from his breath.

‘Anyway, I don’t need to worry about this.’

When Charpen died, the flute of seduction was also destroyed, so Garibaldi would not be able to tame the Hydra either.

Thoughts went elsewhere.

‘Anyway, if I hunted a Hydra, my magic proficiency would go up.’

Wizards didn’t just become stronger through training, they had to build up their proficiency.

It’s like catching monsters and leveling them up.

Of course, now that it has become a reality, I was able to achieve inner growth not only by hunting monsters but also through various other experiences.

Developing the inner world of one’s image through such experiences.

It was the final goal that knights and wizards should pursue.

‘… But wait. Do I really need to be envious?’

I’ve tried catching hydras with other characters while on Earth.

Leo compared his current strength to Hydra’s level.

At the level of a fully matured 4th class mage, he also has two artifacts from Karst the Great.

Of course, it is impossible to hunt Hydra with this alone.

But was Leo just an ordinary wizard?

Hydra’s weaknesses, attack patterns, habits, etc. I knew quite a lot about him.

Based on this information, I analyzed it again.

An imaginary battle was constantly drawn in Leo’s mind.

After a while, I thought… .

‘… It seems like it’s possible by the margin, right?’
