Episode 7
While I was opening Belle Curious, my younger sister, Seri, had almost completed her three years of elementary school at Rivarden Magic School and was preparing for the graduation exam.
When Seri returned to her mansion for summer vacation, Lane bought a book at a bookstore and rode with her in the carriage.
My mother, Brim, gave birth to my younger brother, Bran (he is now three years old), and this year, I had no choice but to come home to see him.
“Brother, look at this! “I’ll show you how great Seri’s magic has become!”
“I’m reading a book, so be quiet. ‘A nobleman must be arrogant and act with confidence and confidence in everything he does’… … Hmm?”
Should I be arrogant?
Is it okay to be arrogant?
Lane was dumbfounded for a moment and grinned. There is no need for separate training for this. After all, she lived exactly like Rin.
– Lin, if you behave like that, you won’t be able to make a single friend in the future?
It was so bad that Friede scolded me like that throughout the entire journey.
– A man must have a cute taste. Who will love me if I live in my own arrogance like you do?
So, after I was reborn, I tried to become a slightly different person… … Even if you don’t like it anymore, you have to live like you used to, right?
The road back to Bellewynn Manor was loud with the sound of rain.
The summer rain that started a week ago was pouring down particularly heavily and pounding on the roof of the carriage.
“eww! 『Introduction to Nobility』… … “Such a strange book is more important than a tax collector?”
The younger sister puffed out her cheeks, but Lane’s eyes only scanned the words in the book, and only his mouth moved to respond.
“I have to go to school soon, so I thought I needed to do something special.”
“… … ?”
“It means that while you have steadily walked the path of a noble wizard, this one has completely walked the path of the apostle.”
“That’s how special your brother is!”
While praising Lane, Seri shrugged her shoulders as if showing off for some reason.
“Okay, I don’t know how great nobles should treat other humans. It’s like a short course. “If you understand, please be quiet.”
At those words, young Seri Ludwig just tilted his head. All Seri knew was that Lane was more special than anyone else in the world.
-Mom, why doesn’t your brother go to school?
– Lane is special. There is nothing to learn by going to school.
Lane was a doctor. Didn’t he explain all the magic that Seri asked about more easily and completely than a school teacher?
Seri was called a genius at school, but she just diligently reviewed what Lane taught her.
‘Is there something your brother doesn’t know?’
I narrowed my eyes to see if they were playing a joke, but suddenly the carriage came to a sudden stop and the bodies of the siblings rose up for a moment and then fell into the cushion.
“it hurts! what are you doing!”
When Seri got irritated, Swan, the guardian knight who was riding a horse next to the carriage, lowered his head. The rain-soaked cloak was hanging limply.
“I’m sorry, miss. Because we found out late that the road was flooded… … .”
“Flooding?”
In addition to the noise of the heavy rain, other noises were brewing outside the carriage. Men’s shouts, women’s sighs, children’s cries.
“What’s going on?”
Lane asked while expressionlessly turning the pages.
“It looks like it was flooded with water. “It looks like they’re building an embankment, so we’ll quickly find a detour.”
“Are there no wizards?”
“You can see people wearing robes, but they don’t seem to be using much force. At this rate, the head of the family may have to come from the mansion… … “It’s not something you and the young lady should worry about.”
The book Lane was reading at that time had 127 pages, and the table of contents to which that page belonged was
“Nobility has a duty to take care of the subjects of the territory they rule… … Since the lord is the father of the yeongjimin, he must take care of their pain like a father embraces his son.”
Raine frowned.
I don’t know why there are so many things nobles have to do. I don’t know whether this guy’s status is a crown of honor or the shackles of bondage.
“Oh, master?!”
When Lane suddenly closed the book, jumped out of the carriage, and walked out into the rain, Swan was so startled that he jumped off the horse.
“The rain is cold and heavy! The body will be damaged, so how… … !”
In an instant, Rain’s black hair and black silk coat were soaked with rain, and the hem of his clothes was soaked in muddy water. The first flood in 100 years was large and fierce.
“This is Siastulica, right?”
“… … ?”
“It’s our family territory. “Don’t you have a duty to me?”
* * *
“This is ridiculous… … “Have you ever had a flood this severe in your life?”
“Hey, you guys! “Bring more dirt while we talk!”
“It’s no use, Grandpa! Look, the dirt we just piled up is already collapsing!”
At a ford where muddy water was up to their knees, the men who were building an embankment with dirt and sandbags clicked their tongues and stepped back.
“What on earth do wizards do?”
“Do I understand! “Those people must have been incompetent once or twice!”
The Imperial Magic League had one or two civilian relief wizards stationed in each small city, but it was truly absurd that they were always bluffing and unable to do anything when it was really needed.
“Stop it and come up! Anything more than this is impossible! If this continues, we will all be swept away by the flood and die!”
The women who were carrying soil in baskets shouted to the men as they watched the flood become more intense. But the village chief just shook his head.
“If all these tulips die, we die too! “Aren’t you going to have to sell this to get food?”
“And then you die! “Escape to high places!”
“If you can’t stop this, you’ll die!”
It was then.
While the mother was arguing with the village chief, the child, who was swimming in the shallows that had risen to chest height, was swept away by a torrent of water that surged like a tsunami.
“Three, oh my!”
“Ah, uncle! “Us, our child!”

How did the men who tied each other’s waists with ropes avoid being swept away by the flood? … That was it. The flood was so violent that I didn’t even know how to swim to rescue them.
“Magic, wizards! What are you doing! Please save that kid! “I have nothing to do, how can I?”
“Si, it’s noisy! Do you think calculating coordinate equations is child’s play? “How can you use magic on something that moves so fast!”
In this case, you must use telekinesis-type magic.
To use telekinesis, you just have to calculate and interpret the coordinate equation, then twist the equation to intervene in providence and capture the child… … .
The problem was that the civilian relief wizards deployed by the Magic Alliance to small cities were so-called beggar wizards who never made it to the magic tower or the palace.
“What should we do, we, we… … .”
It was at that time that a boy quietly walked into a world full of noise and panic.
Black hair falling in the rain, red eyes shining more beautifully than ruby through the hair.
“Hey, kid! “Where are you going!”
It was difficult to see the son-in-law in the rain and wind pouring down on the boy, so people could not recognize the Madosega emblem engraved on the boy’s back.
Red eyes drawn in a black circle.
That emblem belongs to Prince Ludwig’s family, an influential family in the central region of the five magic kingdoms of the empire.
“Soon the embankment will collapse and top—”
Even before the man who was trying to grab Lane finished speaking, a dazzling tail of light bloomed from the boy’s palm and intricately weaved together, forming a magic circle.
The magic square is a three-layered rectangle.
The runes engraved are Gyeol (闋), Du (阧), and On (鞰).
Earth attribute magic
‘Gyeol (闋): Close the door’,
‘Do (阧): soaring’,
‘On (鞰): building up’
Gives character.
The mathematical equation used in the solution is ‘Campbell Page’s multi-order function theorem’.
Coo coo coo coo… … .
Those standing at the scene could not keep their mouths shut at the miracle that shook the earth.
Suddenly, the ground on both sides of the shallows, which had been shaking like waves, rose up like a cliff, and then, on, it formed a huge earthen castle and headed toward the end of the horizon.
It was a moment when the waves of Mother Nature, which could not be overcome no matter how many embankments were built, were isolated in an instant.
“to?”
“uh?”
The men and the wizards who were shouting and holding each other by the collar stopped moving and blinked blankly.
“What is this… … .”
“What, what just happened…?” … ?”
“Has a high-ranking wizard come? where?”
It was natural that the shock of this incident would be greater for wizards than for ordinary people who did not know magic.
The sophistication of the magic was close to perfection. The surging earth even caught the child who had been swept away by the flood and brought him back to land.
“mom mom!”
The woman, who was wailing while holding her soaked child, repeatedly lowered her head to Rain.
“Thank you, thank you, thank you.”
The black-haired boy looked at the scene in the rain, then turned around with a yawn and walked towards the road where the family carriage was.
“I set a time limit, so by the time the flood is over, this ugly earthen wall will slowly sink. “It’s my first time doing this, so don’t worry if it doesn’t work out.”
The young man who had stopped the boy earlier looked up at the earthen wall blankly and then looked back at Lane again. There were two people, a woman and a young man, who were clearly aware of this situation.
“How can you do this all at once…” … ? Oh, no, no, who are you? … ?”
The boy paused for a moment, thinking about how to respond, and the contents of the book flashed through his mind.
A nobleman must be arrogant.
No, you can just be arrogant.
There is no need to smile brightly like Rista here, you can act like you used to.
“A nobleman just walking down the street?”
So I just waved my hand as if it was okay and didn’t even look back.
But that was precisely why the young man could see clearly. The Madose family crest is luxuriously embroidered on the boy’s back plate.
The mouth opened blankly.
“Master Ludwig… … ?”
* * *
“Are you okay with it just ending like this?”
When Lane returned, Swann asked cautiously:
“hmm?”
“It would have been okay if you had made it clear that it was the master’s activity.”
As magical energy flickered in Lane’s eyes once again, the rainwater that had soaked his entire body separated from his body and clothes and floated in the air. It was a formidable level of magic control.
“The people of the territory will live with gratitude to you, and as word of mouth spreads through those magicians, we may even receive a commendation from the Magic Alliance.”
Then Lane raised his eyebrows as if he didn’t understand.
“Does the lord’s son need to receive separate thanks or recognition even though he is just helping the lord’s citizens and doing his natural duty?”
Those were words that came out as if they were obvious from a selfless expression.
Then, Swan’s eyes shook greatly as a hot shiver struck deep in his heart.
The family guards, most of whom were selected from among the territory’s residents, looked blankly at Lane and then quietly lowered their heads one by one.
‘Our master… … .’
‘Master Lane… … .’
The moment when a person gives life-long loyalty to someone is not necessarily a dramatic story.
When a person sees the sincerity hidden in a person’s words and actions, he or she is moved and falls to his or her knees with all his heart.
‘I will serve you for the rest of my life.’
Meanwhile, Lane, who had no way of knowing how Swann or the soldiers felt, was smiling contentedly for another reason.
‘Hey… … .’
Maybe being a noble is better than you think? I acted as rude as before, but why are the reactions so different?
* * *
The Kiriten region of Siastulica is a village located at the intersection leading to the
However, the village prospered greatly in half a year as tourists flocked to see the Saturn, which was said to have been created overnight by an unknown high-ranking wizard.
A village youth said that it was Lane Ludwig’s work, but no one believed that Ludwig’s famously incompetent prince had done such a thing.
“Did you hear that?”
“What do you mean?”
“I heard that Prince Ludwig submitted the entrance exam documents to
“Oh my gosh, you’re only going to be embarrassed. “If it were me, I would have made all kinds of excuses not to go.”
At that time, the bar clerk slammed down a glass of alcohol on the table, and the merchants fell silent for a moment, but then got angry.
“This is crazy now—”
“─What do you merchants not know? discredit? “Our master?”
“What do you not know, you man? There are a lot of rumors that the Ludwig family is short on successors. “Ugh, tsk tsk.”
As the merchants clicked their tongues, the young man suddenly burst into laughter. The villagers working at the bar also just smiled meaningfully.
“haha! “Then, merchants, if you are confident, let’s make a bet with me.”
“What bet do you mean?”
“I bet this bar that Master Lane graduates at the top of his class with overwhelming grades. Now, what are you guys going to bet?”

“There are many excellent applicants this time.”
Magic University,
A faculty room in the fantastic main building, where a diamond stone statue of a dragon gracefully wraps around the exterior wall.
Seven professors were sitting at a round table, going through application documents coming in from all over the empire.
“Shouldn’t we see them as polar opposites? Christa Warden, called the genius of the century… … On the other hand, Lane Ludwig is more famous by the derogatory title of Confucius, a genius.”
Lane Ludwig… … .
I have never attended a magic school, won a competition, or taken a magic rank test. It was an entity with virtually no data.
‘He only appeared once at a Sega meeting at the age of seven, but he said he had no talent for magic at all… … .’
That’s why his nickname is genius Confucius.
It does not mean a talent given by heaven, but a genius because it is a disaster brought down on the Ludwig family by heaven.
I had no idea how such a vessel was born under such excellent parents. One of the professors sighed.
“There is no need to check the first and last place of the next rider.”
