I Became the Genius Bastard of a Noble Dark Clan – 7

Chapter 7

Episode 7

‘earthly?’

Terne’s movements were not bad.

No, it wasn’t that bad, it was great.

It’s hard to believe that he’s so young, but he has a solid grasp of the basics of fighting.

You could tell just from his movements how much hard training he had put in up until now.

On the other hand, the actions of that bastard are,

‘It was a mess. It was like they didn’t even know the basics of fighting.’

But. And yet.

‘It was strong. Overwhelmingly so.’

Merlin was shocked when he realized the reason.

‘I completely saw through the flow of battle.’

Tern’s attacks were strong and fast.

But it didn’t reach.

Conversely, Christian’s attack was a mess.

But it struck Terne without fail.

That’s because Christian predicted all of Tern’s actions.

Either with your head or with your senses.

‘It’s impossible if you don’t have a natural sense for battle.’

But there was another reason why she was truly shocked.

‘At the last moment. I struck the weakest part of the magic and disrupted the magic.’

It was ridiculous.

In theory, it was possible.

Amazing insight, the ability to react at a split second, the intuition to not miss that exact vulnerability, etc.

When it all comes together.

It was practically as if it was close to impossible.

‘That scoundrel who didn’t even practice magic properly did that?’

I just couldn’t believe it.

Even now, I am still confused as to whether I was hallucinating or not.

Merlin suddenly remembered one word.

‘Are you a genius?’

It wasn’t anything strange.

All Dark Maga bloodlines are born with talents that are superior to others.

That is why it is one of the twelve pillars that support the Magic Empire.

‘Come to think of it, that rascal also said he was a genius when he was young. It’s hard to believe now, though.’

If you hear that you are a genius from a prestigious magic family, then you are truly outstanding.

‘But even if you’re a genius, is that possible?’

Merlin was confused.

I couldn’t guess what level of genius it would take to be able to do that.

‘Perhaps a talent that surpasses even Prince Ashed de Baron.’

Ashed de Baron!

As you can see from his middle name, ‘D’, he was the direct descendant of the Dark Magic family.

He is called the greatest genius among the next generation of Dark Maga, and is virtually considered the successor.

‘No, that’s too much to ask. What’s the comparison with him?’

Even if Christian were such a genius, it was too late.

While Christian wastes his time dissipating, his peers are flying high.

There was already a gap that could never be narrowed.

‘It seems like I came to my senses too late.’

Merlin glanced back at Chris.

He was training hard in the training ground.

How many laps is this?

Twenty laps? No, maybe more than thirty. I’ve been running nonstop for quite some time now.

A surprisingly tenacious appearance.

Merlin shook his head.

“What a pity. It’s already too late.”

When you start learning is a very important factor in your achievements.

The later you start, the less pure your core will be and the harder your blood vessels will become.

There was a limit to what could be achieved.

Chris was fifteen years old, so it was quite late at the latest.

‘At best, I guess the limit is a 3-star or 4-star intermediate mine.’

Merlin thought so.

‘How long will it take to reach 1 star? At least 1 year, right? No, since I started late, it might take more than 2 years. And there’s also the handicap.’

handicap.

In the past, Christian had mastered magic.

The level he reached at that time was a whopping 2 stars.

Even the Dark Magic House was shaken by his unprecedentedly fast achievements, but the genius was arrogant and ended up wasting all the magical energy he had accumulated through his debaucherous life.

Once you lose magic like this, it becomes several times more difficult to build it up again.

‘What a waste of talent.’

Merlin clicked her tongue as she looked at Chris.

* ? ?* ? ?*

And a few days later.

‘Is it one star now?’

Chris took a deep breath inside the room.

A vessel that had never existed before appeared in the core of darkness.

I have reached the level of 1st star through magic.

‘I’m not used to magic, so it took a long time.’

It took a long time.

It was something that would make others open their mouths and curse if they heard it.

Even for the most talented, it took at least half a year to achieve a first-class rank.

‘It took longer because the dregs of the magic that this body had previously become accustomed to still remained. If not for that, I would have arrived faster.’

Chris gathered the magic in his hand.

“It’s awkward.”

A faint black energy gathered and then dispersed.

‘Can’t we be together?’

Chris tried to manifest the light ‘Mana’ and the dark ‘Magi’ in each hand.

Okay.

On one side, a bright energy of light gathered, and on the other side, a dark energy of darkness gathered.

‘It’s still too much for me to use in real combat because it strains my blood vessels. Using both powers at the same time will only be possible when I reach a higher level later.’

Chris leaned back in his chair and rang the buzzer.

Then an eerie voice was heard.

[Did you call, Young Master?]

A faint body, like a ghost.

No, not ‘like’. Because it was a real ghost.

What appeared was the infamous evil spirit, the Banshee!

Chris swallowed a curse under his breath.

‘You’re crazy, using a banshee as a maid. Even for a magic family, this is too much.’

I’m somewhat used to it now, but I was startled when I first saw the banshee who appeared as a maid.

Even Banshee, who had an innocent and pretty appearance and was wearing a maid outfit, was even more creepy.

‘I must change it later. To a human servant.’

Even in the Magic Empire, it was not common to have ghosts as servants.

The maid who originally served him was also human.

However, because he was a scoundrel and kept abusing his servants, Count Kazar became enraged and appointed Banshee as Christian’s personal maid.

[Do-ryun… sir… why… did you call… me?]

“Give me some juice.”

[Would it be okay if I use virgin blood… juice…?]

“…with strawberry juice.”

[Virgin’s blood… what does the juice taste like?]

“…with strawberries, please.”

There is no one who drinks the blood juice of a virgin.

The banshee was joking in her own way, but when it came to ghosts, it didn’t feel like a joke at all.

The banshee laughed and disappeared, soon returning with strawberry juice.

‘Still, this is good.’

Chris thought as he slurped strawberry juice through a straw.

‘This abundance. It’s what I wanted.’

If you want it, you will get what you want.

Everything was great, from the clothes, to the bed, to the food.

It was exactly the life he had hoped for in his previous life, except that Banshee was his maid.

‘I can’t be satisfied with just this. I will make you rise to the top of the Magic Empire and enjoy the greatest wealth and honor.’

And save the world.

Chris got up from his seat with that in mind.

I was thinking of going to the training ground.

In fact, he was originally a lazy genius type, so he didn’t enjoy this kind of arduous training, but he couldn’t help it because he had a goal.

‘Good luck with your life, wealth and honor!’

After chanting a slogan in my mind, I headed to the training ground.

But before he left the mansion, he heard a voice calling him.

“Are you going to the training ground again, Young Master?”

A creepy white complexion.

Sharp fangs.

It was Cox, the half-vampire butler of the Countess of Kazar.

Although he had a sharp appearance, as expected from a vampire clan, he had a soft smile on his lips, giving him a gentle overall impression.

“Yeah, I’m going to go now.”

“I’m worried that you might be pushing yourself too hard.”

Cox shook his head hastily.

“Oh, of course I’m so happy and proud that you’re so hard-working. This Cox, even though everyone was pointing fingers at you, you never gave up and believed in me.”

Chris smiled quietly at those words.

‘Look at this guy?’

The words became very presumptuous.

Her eyes… she pretends to care about Chris, but what are her true feelings?

“What do you believe in?”

“yes?”

“I never asked you to trust me. Who are you to trust me and give up on me?”

“!!”

Cox took a deep breath.

Only then did Cox see Chris again.

A completely different atmosphere than before.

The sight of the ugly bastard is nowhere to be found.

His eyes were confident, and he exuded a noble air that had been hidden by his ugly appearance.

A lofty gaze, as if looking down from above, was fixed on Cox.

“Be careful next time.”

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”

Butler Cox turned his back in a hurry and disappeared, and Chris’s eyes sank deeply as he watched his back.

‘Hey, something smells fishy.’

I decided to keep an eye on it and headed to the training ground.

The training ground became quiet when he arrived.

I glanced at him from time to time.

‘Still, your gaze has become much softer than before.’

As time passed and I continued to train silently in a corner without causing any trouble, people started to look at me differently.

Some even had kind hearts.

‘Surely, has that rascal really changed?’

‘It’s different from before?’

But not everyone was like that.

“It’ll probably sparkle like that.”

“Just wait and see. It won’t be long before it starts to stretch again.”

It hasn’t even been a week yet.

It was a short time for my mind to change.

The Knights’ minions were openly swearing at Chris as before.

“신분만 아니면, 저 망나니 새끼는 내가 반쯤 죽여놓는 건데.”

It was when Mine, who had been speaking roughly, was giggling.

A different reaction came back than before.

“Hey, are you done talking?”

“!!”

It was Chris.

Mine, who had just been chewing him, took a deep breath.

“What is your name?”

“…I am Canin. I am a squire of the Black Swamp Knights.”

Squire means seed.

Chris nodded.

“Okay, Kanin. Say what you said to me again.”

“…….”

Kanin’s face hardened.

Chris chuckled.

“Why? Is it hard to say it in person? Squire Canin, do you know what they call someone like you?”

“…….”

“They call me a cowardly coward.”

“!!”

Kanin’s face turned bright red.

“You speak harshly.”

“Deep? Are you, who used to gossip behind people’s backs, qualified to say such things?”

Chris shrugged and said.

“Pick up the wooden sword.”

“…yes?”

“You and I both have hurt reputations, so isn’t there only one way to resolve this?”

Chris twitched the corner of his mouth.

“We have to solve it with force. Like a Mine.”

Now it’s time to slowly win the hearts of the minions.

By force.

* ? ?* ? ?*

The duel that broke out out of nowhere caused an uproar in the arena.

“Vice-captain, that.”

“Leave it alone.”

“Yes? But?”

Mine, who was trying to dissuade him, was embarrassed.

It’s different from the last duel.

Although it was a wooden sword, he was holding a weapon and was not restricted by magic.

Christian could have been badly hurt if he had made a mistake.

But Merlin said coldly.

“You’ve staked your honor on mine, so you’ll know what to do. If you have the strength, you’ll protect your honor.”

Merlin looked straight at Chris.

“If you don’t have the strength, you will pay a price.”

In fact, Merlin wanted to see.

I wonder what kind of stamina Chris will show.

‘Me too, I guess I have vain expectations.’

Merlin shook his head at his own thoughts.

No matter how outstanding your talent was in the last duel, what kind of ridiculous expectations are you having?

No, I was even confused as to whether what I saw last time was what I saw correctly.

Because it was so ridiculous.
