How a Genius in the Kingdom of Magic Lives

-square. square.

The Marquis of Merverde was writing in an elegant handwriting.

It was a kind of appeal to the king.

[Dear King’s Highness. Not too long ago, Sosin taught Prince Leo about the basics of mana. In the process… ]

– Stand tall.

Marquis Merverde’s movements stopped.

‘Huh… .’

The image of Prince Leo, whom he had seen not too long ago, was still vivid in his mind.

‘Does the prince really know what he did?’

Hearing only a few words, I felt mana in 10 minutes.

Since that was not enough, he even managed to put his will into mana.

He did in an instant what a person without talent could not succeed in years.

‘It sounds like something that would come out of a book for children.’

A similar story appears in a fairy tale book about the Great War of Manma.

The great wizard Karst the Great was able to manipulate magic and move within three days of learning magic.

It took only one year for him to surpass his mentor.

Actually, it’s a nonsense story.

If it was so easy to become a wizard, who in the world would be a non-magic?

However, King Karst actually made many great achievements, and because of that influence, the Kingdom of Rome was called the Kingdom of Magic.

A kingdom that respects wizards, is passionate about magic education, and wants to become such a person.

However, even in the hundreds of years of history of the Roman Kingdom, there was no one like Leo.

Right now, even Marquis Merverde was called a genius when he was young, but compared to Leo now, he would be a firefly in front of the sun.

-square. square.

His quill moved again.

[…] Thus, it was confirmed that Prince Leo has tremendous talent.]

‘The prince’s talent should never be left unattended.’

I wouldn’t have known if I didn’t know, but I can’t leave it unattended even though I found it.

that’s a sin

[When you think about it, it is judged that systematic and intensive magic education is needed for Prince Leo.]

A certain aspiration stirred in the eyes of the Marquis Merverde.

‘If I’m not mistaken for that talent… Maybe I can get over ‘that wall’?’

A wall that stands in front of you, a wall you can’t jump over.

At one time, I worked like crazy and struggled to move forward.

But despite decades of hard work, the walls were still strong.

So I thought I should give up now and spend the rest of my life teaching younger students.

I never thought I would find such a treasure in my later years!

If Prince Leo’s talent bloomed, it wasn’t impossible.

[Therefore, as the agenda for this monthly meeting, I propose a proposal related to the future education of Prince Leo.]

I always wanted to see him grow.

* * *

The great king of Karst paved the ground, and the kingdom of Rome where only great kings existed from generation to generation.

The kingdom of Rome was famous for the good relationship between the king and the nobles, and between the nobles and the commoners.

Kings and aristocrats worked hard to develop the country and at the same time treated the common people without carelessly ignoring them, and the common people respected and obeyed them.

“From my point of view, there seems to be no place like our kingdom to live.”

“of course. Look at the other kingdoms around you. At least you can tell by just listening to the Empire. They brag about how many knights and wizards they have every day, but they are busy fighting each other.”

An ideal country where kings, aristocrats, and commoners all come together!

That was the Roman Kingdom.

And the current king, Biden, was praised as the best among the kings so far.

“I have never seen in my entire life anyone as great as His Highness King Biden.”

“It’s true that he’s the one who inherited the blood of the great king of Karst.”

Naturally, there was a lot of interest in the members of the royal family who would be responsible for the next generation.

“Did you say Prince 1 is now 17 years old? Didn’t you already say you’re a third-class wizard?”

“What about the 2nd or 3rd prince? I’ve heard that even though he’s just been introduced to magic, he stands out. I heard that you will soon get rid of the introductory ticket and become a full-time wizard.”

“already? Oh my gosh… The princes of this generation are all very talented.”

A royal family with great talent in magic for generations.

Among them, the current princes and princesses were famous for being more special.

Naturally, interest was also focused on Prince Leo, the youngest member of the royal family.

“Come to think of it, the youngest prince said he was 7 years old now, right?”

“It must be your turn to enter Mana soon… I hope I don’t get compared to my talented brothers for nothing.”

* * *

There was a unique system in the kingdom.

“Then, from now on, we will begin the monthly meeting hosted by His Highness the King.”

monthly meeting.

A place where kings and nobles gathered together to freely discuss the future and development of the country.

At this meeting, held once a month, anyone was free to express their opinions.

Even the king cannot push his will and must go through the stages of discussion and consultation.

By doing so, more and more diverse opinions could be collected and the Kingdom of Rome could continue to develop.

“Begin.”

King Biden, seated in the middle of the round table, gestured.

Aristocrats were sitting around it.

Seats assigned randomly without rank.

This, too, was a feature of the monthly meetings.

The host, who was standing alone in the conference room, nodded.

“Yes, Your Highness. Then, the first item was raised by the Marquis of Merverde.”

The eyes of the nobles instantly turned to the Marquis Merverde, who was sitting on one side of the round table.

An impressive old man with a wide robe and a long white beard.

Looking at him, admiring sighs flowed here and there.

“Huh. The Marquis made an agenda?”

“The person who was always quiet, I don’t know how long it has been.”

Although he was the Marquis of Merverde, close to 70 years old, there was a subtle respect in the eyes of the nobles.

Even so, Marquis Merverd was a 6th-class wizard.

A powerful mage who can fit within ten fingers even in the Roman Kingdom!

“I thought you weren’t interested in anything other than teaching princes and princesses these days. What’s going on?”

However, recently, he has given up most of his other work and has been concentrating on training the younger generation.

It was surprising that such a Marquis of Merverde had officially opened up after a long time.

“Your Excellency, Marquis. Would His Excellency speak directly?”

“So it is.”

At the host’s words, the Marquis Merverde nodded.

Then he got up and looked at the king.

“Your Royal Highness. If you’ll excuse me, I’d like to speak from here on.”

King Biden nodded.

“Yes. I also wanted to ask the Marquis in detail.”

King Biden glanced at the paper in his hand.

It was an appeal from the Marquis of Merverde this morning.

“The contents of this appeal. What happened?”

A rumor that came out of nowhere.

What was written there was hard to believe.

“Yes. First of all, I would like to suggest a proposal to conduct more sophisticated and systematic magic education for Prince Leo.”

Agenda for Prince Leo.

However, some of the nobles who heard that made a puzzled expression.

Some of them even raised their hands and won the right to speak.

“Excuse me in the middle of my talk, but I don’t think that content fits the purpose of the monthly meeting… ?”

The monthly meeting is a place to talk and discuss the development of the country.

The prince’s education was also important, of course, but it was not appropriate to discuss it here.

“I know. But please listen to me a little more.”

Marquis Merverde nodded and spoke in a firm voice.

“Not long ago, I happened to have the opportunity to teach Prince Leo. He was curious about magic, so I briefly taught him how to feel mana.”

“… … ?”

“And Prince Leo has succeeded in feeling mana.”

The nobles who were listening nodded.

“Hoo. Interesting.”

“How old is Prince Leo?”

“I know you just turned seven years old… .”

“If you feel mana, you can say that you have now entered the introductory stage of magic. At seven, you’re a little faster than the average for the royal family.”

Members of the royal family of Rome begin to practice magic around the age of seven to eight.

usually eight years old

“I don’t think His Highness the King has any concerns about the succession.”

“All the princes are overflowing with talent.”

The nobles laughed.

In fact, the fact that the prince’s talent is good can cause the division of the royal family.

In particular, the youngest prince, who was far from the right of succession, was more problematic.

However, due to the nature of the Kingdom of Rome, and because King Biden was still correcting it, few people were already concerned about it.

In the ears of those nobles, the words of the Marquis Merverde continued.

“Feeling mana at the age of seven is definitely a great thing. But there is something more to note. Do you know how long it took Prince Leo to succeed in feeling mana?”

“… … ?”

Nobles, including the king, made a puzzled expression.

Marquis Merverde spread her fingers wide.

Seeing that, the nobles murmured.

“Ten days?”

“That’s about the average of previous royal families, but if the Marquis said that, it must be faster than that.”

“So it will be around the 8th or 9th?”

Marquis Merverde shook his head.

“Not ten days.”

Then, after taking a quick look at the crowd, he spoke gravely.

“Ten minutes.”

“… Yes?”

“Exactly ten minutes. Within ten minutes, Prince Leo felt mana. Even that was not enough, he succeeded in putting his will into mana.”

“!!”

The meeting room was instantly enveloped in silence.

The aristocrats’ expressions changed variously.

There were also people who looked puzzled at what I had just heard and whether or not I heard it correctly.

The Marquis Merverde’s words continued in their ears.

“In my opinion, Prince Leo… The greatest genius in the kingdom since Karst the Great. It is not just a genius, but it is considered to be a level that needs to be managed strategically at the national level.”

“… ?!”

“… !!”

* * *

It was the time when a fuss was brewing at the monthly meeting.

Leo was frowning in his room.

‘I can’t believe I feel the mana so quickly.’

I felt mana in 10 minutes.

Even that was not enough, so I put my will into it and even turned it into magical power.

A seven-year-old little boy who had just come into contact with magic.

Leo was well aware of what a ridiculous talent this was.

Leo’s face hardened.

‘The game character I made… . It looks like he really possessed that character… .’

A body that gave up physical abilities and was ignorant of everything related to magic.

That was the character Leo created.

But it was because it was a game, and if I had known I would live in this body, I wouldn’t have done that.

How many inconveniences there are!

‘no wonder. After possessing it, I felt like I had no energy and my body was weak. Is this because my physical abilities are poor?’

Or maybe it’s because of the penalty nature.

Random penalty traits that were automatically applied to balance when creating a character.

Come to think of it, I remembered that there was an [eye that sees mana] among the characteristics I had seen after making all the characters.

Perhaps the reason mana is visible in the form of blue particles is because of this characteristic.

‘Damn it. First, I need to check what penalties I received.’

However, it is impossible to identify each characteristic individually.

Most of the traits aren’t obvious to the eye.

‘So there should be a status window… .’

However, no matter how many times I shouted into the air like a madman, the status window did not appear.

I had absolutely no intention of giving up.

Leo slightly raised his voice.

“Selise.”

“Did you call me, my lord?”

Selise, the maid in charge, approached right away.

“I want to go to the library.”

“If you want to read the book, can I lend it to you?”

Leo shook his head.

“no. I will enter the royal library with my own feet.”

If the status window wasn’t given, wouldn’t it be possible to get it yourself!

Even if others didn’t know, Jung Hyeon-seong could do it.

The various experiences he gained while raising dozens of characters in this Lost World were accumulated in his head.
