A Genius Gamer, Reincarnated in a Heroic Family Episode 89
Entrance Exam (5)
Actually, there was one loophole in this test. The fact was that the test of finding the truth in fantasy itself was biased towards the Ainglass family.
[Blue Wind Constitution], one of the abilities unique to the lineage passed down from the primordial wizard ‘Van Einglass’.
This constitution, which not only had a naturally enormous capacity for mana compared to other humans, but also felt mana much more sensitively, was able to keenly distinguish between illusion within truth as well as truth within fantasy.
In other words, it was safe to say that this testing site itself was a kind of test to develop Ainglass’s Cheongpung constitution.
How would people react if they found out that the reason they were taking this exam this year was for one person, Zelka Ainglass?
‘… … ‘Foolish guys.’
Jelka shook her head as if she felt pitiful as she looked at the test takers examining all the objects around them, such as turning over the dirt on the floor or tapping on a tree.
‘They’re going to fall.’
There were about 20 people gathered at the historic site. Did they not even think that the distribution of points would not be high if there were that many people?
Even though Zelka did not have the constitution of Cheongpung, he was confident that he would do much better than those idiots.
“Oh, that’s Master Jelka.”
“Wouldn’t something come out if we followed him?”
“You stupid bastard. “It is written in the detailed test rulebook that once you find the truth, the object immediately disappears and no one else can select it.”
“ah… … right.”
Jelka left the idiots’ conversation behind and walked to another place.
He could have found the truth about his passing score if he wanted to, but he wanted to relax as much as possible in this space created just for him.
‘Anyway, there is only one true answer. ‘Because it’s decided.’
But there is no candidate here who can find it. Even if Princess Herael discovered the royal lineage’s unique ability [Truthian], it would be difficult to find it.
It will be hidden so that only Ainglass’s blue wind constitution can react.
‘I’m the only one who can find it anyway, so I can take my time.’
He smiled and walked with his back to me. Even while the other candidates were crawling on the floor, getting dirt and mud on their bodies, he alone was a nobleman.
Candidates can’t help but widen their eyes when they see that relaxed appearance.
As I was struggling alone while everyone else was rushing around, I couldn’t help but think there was something there.
‘Um, that’s… … .’
While taking a walk around the test site, there was someone who caught Jelka’s eye.
It was Princess Herael, Citrine.
She was no different from other students and behaved normally, squatting on the floor, pounding on rocks or picking grass, but she did not make her feel mean or unpleasant.
There is only one reason.
Because she’s royal? no.
Because it was too beautiful.
Zelka smiled.
He too was a man.
I couldn’t help but be interested in a girl who was so beautiful and of noble status.
Seeing Princess Citrine’s beauty, it seems that many applicants and Arniel’s male students have already harbored feelings of love for her, but he may be the only man worthy of her noble appearance.
‘I’m sure they’ll like it even if you just drop a little hint.’
With that in mind, Zeka approached Citrine.
“Princess Citrine.”
“yes?”
Still digging in the dirt, she looked up when a shadow appeared. Those golden eyes were so captivating that even the world’s Jelka’s heart skipped a beat.
“What are you staring at?”
“… … .”
Even though the words and actions that flowed from those cute lips were cheesy, Jelka understood. She was noble enough to agree with what she said earlier when she was having a war of nerves with Aylka, that those who are noble from birth are noble no matter what they say or do.
“The princess is so noble, so why does she get dirt on her knees? It doesn’t have to be that way. “I’m going to give you a hint just for you.”
“… … what?”
The princess’s expression gradually crumpled, but Jelka continued speaking without noticing that.
“I heard it the other day. It seems like Wilzed’s minor princess ignores Herael’s noble bloodline without knowing anything… … “Shouldn’t we definitely organize the hierarchy?”
There was a reason why Jelka did this.
Although the five great magic families were all united, they were somehow wary of each other.
Who has the upper hand in terms of ranking?
This issue is rising to the surface as a sensitive topic internally.
Wilzed was a rival anyway, so it would be like killing two birds with one stone to win Citrine’s favor while keeping Aylka in check… … .
“Guweek! The way you talk is shit, really. Is that what everyone in Ainglass says? Wow, this is really disgusting. “Even my oldest brother won’t do that!”
“… … ??”
“And, what? hint? Hiint? Ha! You can just ignore it. Do you think you know everything in the world? huh? Do you feel like you’re the best and that you’re above everyone else? Ha, really… … This is why kids these days. Tsk tsk.”
Citrine clicked her tongue and tapped Zelka on the shoulder! She passed by.
“Fuck off, man. I guess the family gave me some test information? “If you want to hit a girl with a hint like that, go to Wilzed, who you like so much.”
Zelka’s gaze was still fixed on the spot where Citrine had been staying just a moment ago. I couldn’t find the courage to look back, so my eyes were shaking violently.
Have you ever heard this level of swearing and harsh language from someone in your life?
Even more so for women of the same age.
‘… … How dare you, to me.’
Wow!
Belatedly, I felt angry, so I gritted my teeth and looked back, but Citrine had already left somewhere.
“… … damn.”
Zelka, with a frown on his face, turned and walked toward the center. She didn’t feel like going for a walk anymore, so she decided to find the most important target in the testing room and be the first to complete the test.
The center where all the test takers first gathered. There was a tall tower where the judges were standing, and that was Zelka’s destination.
however.
“… … “Who is that guy?”
When we arrived at the central tower, someone was already on top of it.
A boy with long black-and-white hair and the same mysterious, fairy-like charm as Citrine.
Exciting! At that moment, my heart was beating violently due to anxiety.
‘No way, that guy…’ … .’
That can’t be possible.
There is no way there would be anyone here who could find that other than myself.
Much less the Herael royal family, nor the Wilzed duchy… … A commoner without any blessings cannot find it.
‘There is no need to be anxious.’
It’s just that commoners climbed up there out of curiosity.
We will laugh at the foolishness of coming back down without finding anything, and confidently point out the truth.
… … It had to be that way.
“I will point to the sun.”
What the black-and-white long-haired commoner boy pointed out with his index finger was none other than the sun floating in the sky.
“ah.”
That moment.
The sun disappeared, the sky turned pitch black, countless Milky Ways appeared, and the full moon rose brightly.
[…] … Candidate No. 187, Days]
[Because we have reached the greatest truth, we give a final pass decision first.]
[Congratulations on passing.]
The boy who was quietly looking at the full moon turned around and looked at Jelka, and then he turned into light and disappeared.
Because we found the object of truth, we went outside the testing room.
“… … ah.”
Jelka’s face, which was staring at the sky with a blank expression, soon began to slowly wrinkle.
“Shit… … .”
Today should have been the day when a person named Zelka Einglass received attention as the main character.
But what on earth is this, the Jelka Ainglass of the world?
‘Today is the worst day… … .’
* * *
Meanwhile, it was not only Jelka and Princess Citrine who were anxious because they could not find the Object of Truth.
‘… … Not a clue.’
Aylka Wilzed walked around the castle made of illusions with a frown. She covered so many false topics that it was difficult to comb through them all in time.
‘Where on earth are they?’
I looked through all the points that stood out, but there was no object that looked real.
No, I should say the opposite.
‘I don’t know because everything looks real… … .’
It was confusing. She thought that her own insight would be enough to discern the truth in her illusions.
Was it arrogance?
She couldn’t tell the difference between lies and truth.
I looked at all the special-looking objects, but this is still the case.
‘Really, really, I’m only at this level… … ?’
As the absurdly dire situation unfolded before her eyes, Aylka felt a headache.
It was predicted that her talent would become not only that of Arniel, but also that she would become the brightest star on the throne of heaven, but she ended up failing in the entrance exam to a magic school… … .
Besides, one more thing happened that made her even more depressed.
[Candidate No. 187, Days]
[Because we have reached the greatest truth, we give a final pass decision first.]
[Congratulations on passing.]
The daytime sky suddenly changed to a night sky, and one candidate was declared successful!
‘what… … ?’
After checking the name of the successful candidate, Aylka felt dizzy.
At the very least, I thought that if the final successful candidate came out first, it would be Zelka Einglass, who could be said to be his rival.
But, a commoner who is not from a wizard family passed the final exam?
‘The answer is… … ‘Is it the sun?’
The sun suddenly changed into the night sky and disappeared. It appears that this was done because the object disappears when the test taker finds the truth.
‘… … ‘You must have been lucky.’
While you have to run around and find each object one by one for other objects, isn’t the sun visible just by raising your head? That commoner just happened to raise his head, was suspicious, dug into the sun, and luckily got the right answer.
‘Yeah, I’m lucky… … .’
Then why did I suddenly remember my father’s words?
‘Daughter, do you know that? The circuit of the magic circle was originally composed of one piece. People at the time did not have the idea of circulating mana in parallel, so they used inefficient magic.’
‘You didn’t know such a simple thing?’
‘It’s simple now, but… … The idea of thinking of such a simple thing for the first time can be said to be genius.’
It seems like anyone can think of it, but no one has thought of it.
They will leave their names as ‘genius arch wizards’ to future generations.
When Aylka thought about that, her body trembled as if she had been struck by lightning.
sun? Yes, anyone can see it.
As such, there is no way the school could have easily cast illusion magic.
It would have been engraved with a fantasy magic formula that was more complicated and difficult for anyone to look up and see, and it would have been impossible for anyone but Zelka Einglass to discover it.
In other words, that sun was the answer for Zelka Ainglass in the first place.
but… … A commoner, a boy named Days, solved the homework for Ainglass purely through a change of thinking and magical intuition.
‘… … ‘Everyone can see it, but not everyone can see it.’
After thinking about that, Aylka became calm. Thanks to that commoner, it seemed like I finally realized what this test was.
‘An ancient tombstone? Traces of historical sites? Ornate statues in old castles?’
It’s all false.
The truth was hidden in the smallest details. Anyone can see it, but it can’t be easily overlooked… … Between those things.
Aylka unconsciously lowered her head and found a blade of grass growing on the lawn. It looked like it was just a background for a test stage, nothing more or less.
It was clearly ‘seen’ to Aylka.
That that is the truth.
Pop! Without hesitation, Aylka plucked a blade of grass and confidently declared that he would submit it.
“So, little princess? “You won’t get a high score with just that.”
“It would be better to find another, greater object… … .”
Other test takers around her tried to dissuade her, but she didn’t hesitate.
Aylka, who had finally seen the truth, was more confident than anyone else in the room.
“I will take this. “There is no reversal.”
So, the test ended.
result… … It was as expected.
[Magical insight test results]
1st place Days 100 points
2nd place Aylka, Citrinne 99 points
4th place: 97 points
Aylka ranked second only to Days, who first discovered the sun.
‘… … Tsk, damn princess.’
Although he was annoyed by Princess Citrine, who had the same score as him, it was a satisfactory result in that he had a higher score than Jelka.
He must have been shocked that his homework was taken away by Days, and his name was recorded outside of the top 10.
‘It’s a little unfortunate that I ended up with an unlucky princess… … Hehe, it’s still a good start.’
Little Princess Aylka felt better.
