Academy’s Genius Tamer Episode 174
The banquets of the nobility are noble and pretentious.
There were quite a few people who came to see me somehow without knowing my face.
All of them were only dwarfs who had never even heard their name.
Even at such a noble engagement ceremony, there are people who have their own distinct colors.
“Uh, hey. today… Are you particularly dead?”
Won scanned me up and down and gave me a thumbs up.
I was forced to wear a suit that didn’t suit me, and it felt like it was on graduation day, but it looked pretty good.
Of course, there were no more compliments.
Won, who ate the pancakes for dessert, stuck out his tongue with admiration.
“The food here is delicious. Is it different from a rich family?”
“… Hey, are you the only one with a mouth?”
Seymour grunted and took the plate in front of the circle.
It’s no different than in the academy.
“Koo… .”
“Screw!”
Basil and Closti were banging their heads like siblings and fighting to get a little more.
Basil, who was wearing a poorly made suit, struggled to see if it was uncomfortable.
“Hold on for a second.”
“Woo!”
“Yeah, I’ll never take it off.”
It looked cuter, so I deliberately didn’t remove it and leave it alone.
Basil puffed up his cheeks with a look of discontent.
Wait a minute.
It’s expensive, so it’s difficult to burn it again.
“Hey, don’t burn it again… .”
before I even finish my words.
Whoops-.
The dragon suit, which I bought at a high price in the market, turned to ashes and flew away.
poop.
He sighed as he looked down at the ashes falling from Basil’s body.
“under… .”
It’s not even a day or two to burn a living, what?
oh my, it’s my seller
“The dog was bitten but not burned… .”
This proves that the difficulty of parenting is higher for dragons.
I put my hand on my forehead and sat down on the chair.
It was because he was a little tired as he greeted the nobles without rest as soon as he arrived.
However, no time to rest was given.
“Ah, let’s start the engagement ceremony.”
“Hey, aren’t you supposed to go out?”
Seymour knows without even having to wake him up.
Tae-soo Han blinked towards this side, and I tidied up my sleeves and stepped forward.
At this moment, everyone is looking at this side.
Solia also looked carefully at me and came out.
Clap clap-.
As soon as the two of us stood side by side, applause erupted.
Count Arkenent gave a happy smile and a wink.
I nodded and grabbed the microphone.
“Thank you for staying.”
An engagement ceremony is the first time, and you know how to behave. Be courteous and put the words in your mouth.
I smiled and looked back at the people who had visited the wedding hall slowly.
Since it was the engagement of two famous families, quite a few nobles were present. Some of them had seen them at the last banquet hall.
“Let the ceremony begin.”
Since it’s an engagement ceremony, there is nothing to go big with, and we decided to hold a banquet and announce the engagement.
No, that’s how it was said.
Well.
Taesoo Han raised his hand toward me.
“ah. There is one thing I prepared before the ceremony.”
“Yes?”
“Come in.”
At Han Tae-soo’s words, the people behind them started to move.
A band with a string instrument the size of my body is flocking here. Not what was said, I opened my eyes wide.
“What… what are you doing?”
I asked with a glance how this happened, but Tae-soo Han shook his head as if to stay still.
A string orchestra enters and sits at the place where the engagement is announced.
While standing still, the band, seated in place, starts playing the cello.
The symphony started playing with the huge instrument in his arms. Without realizing it, I opened my mouth.
Cow, it’s simple!
“… Who prepared it?”
Solia was also embarrassed, so she sneaked up to me and asked.
I smiled bitterly in response to Solia’s words.
“I guess I’m going to try to get my engagement right.”
Originally, I was going to hold my hand just at this time and jump, but now I don’t think I will, so it doesn’t matter if it’s grand.
It’s a shame because it’s a problem.
I looked back at the orchestra with a stiff posture.
It is a spectacle of the banquet itself of the nobles.
“I’m not very happy with it, but… .”
A violin tickles the tone of the cello that resonates in the engagement hall.
The notes of the flute are added like birdsong and descend to the engagement hall.
The people who laugh and chatter and the natural sounds of speech harmonize as if occupying a part of the symphony.
The conductor moved his arms violently.
Following his gestures, the melody bloomed like a flower.
The light trumpet sound lifted the mood, and the viola laid the notes magnificently.
A bright symphony prepared by Han Tae-soo for the engagement ceremony.
The bouncing melody melts among the people.
Some nobles hummed and banged wine glasses.
Standing in the middle, we wait in a very awkward posture for the performance to end.
Because he is a human being who has no such thing as culture, there is no particular inspiration in classical music.
I looked around with a bored expression.
I didn’t know that before, but everyone except me had a smile on their lips.
Youn Ha-eul clenched her fists and trembled, but did not let go of the real disturbance, and Solia shook her head to the melody to see if she didn’t like this grand engagement.
Seymour and One grin and focus on their meal.
“… .”
And I had no choice but to think of the person who was not here, Adela.
Solia’s engagement.
It was natural to ask Solia’s doctor, but it could not be denied that there was a not-so-honorable truth behind it.
It’s an engagement made out of my need.
I hope my indecisiveness doesn’t hurt any more, and it’s definitely to cut Adela off this spot.
A magnificent symphony is heartbreaking.
The whispers of the flute like birdsong tickles every corner of my heart.
A peaceful but not peaceful sight.
I couldn’t shake the feeling that a storm was coming.
‘Cause I’m all alone in the betrothal that should be fun.
I slowly lifted my head with guilt.
That was the moment.
“Ahhhh!”
A scream that was sharp enough to muffle my hair hit my ear.
* * *
A scream enough to freeze everyone who laughed and chatted for joy.
The orchestra stopped playing.
The squeaking of the violin resounded grotesquely.
Some looked at the source of the scream and nodded.
But soon, everyone knew why.
Tae-soo Han jumped up from his seat as if he couldn’t believe it.
“what happened.”
“It’s an attack.”
“Yes?”
Count Arkenent also clenched his teeth with a pale face.
A black aura coming from the other side.
Because strangers appeared in the thick fog.
Si-ha Han, who was standing in the middle of the engagement hall, also instinctively pulled out her wand.
Faithful Basil immediately covered Han Si-ha.
Those who wear black robes. I’ve never seen warlocks once or twice, but I’ve never met them in a group like this.
At a glance, the number of people surrounding the engagement venue seemed to exceed at least ten.
not dwarfs
Tae-soo Han instinctively felt it.
‘Dangerous.’
Han Tae-soo, Earl of Blood. Count Arkenent who was with him on the battlefield.
I have cut a number of warlocks by hand. So there is nothing to be afraid of.
There are enough knights to protect them, and there are several nobles who are wizards who can fight. Just because there are more opponents than usual is no reason not to win.
However… .
‘There are too many civilians.’
When they attack, some people will inevitably be killed or injured.
‘Who are you aiming for?’
Tae-soo Han thought it would be him with a high probability, but he couldn’t be sure.
Those in black robes surrounded him.
I thought there were ten, but it seems to have increased. At least twenty seems over.
There is no wide-area magic that can detonate them all at once.
As long as they exist, they will stop them. There are quite a few high-level wizards mixed in.
Even if you can win, you can’t be without damage.
Taesoo Han quickly shook his head to reduce or eliminate it.
Bumping-.
Even in the midst of it, he fearlessly tightens those who wear black robes.
A certain nobleman raised his voice and raised his staff.
“who… Who are you!”
“… .”
“How dare you guys besiege this place… .”
bang-.
A roar rang out.
“Ahhhh!”
At the same time as someone’s screams, the outdoor engagement hall turned into chaos.
An attack that occurred without warning.
The nobleman staggered and sat down on the spot. Dark blood gushed out of his arms.
I was hit with a magic ball in the front.
“Gagging… .”
“Okay, are you okay?”
“Ahhhh!”
Soon, blood spewed out of his mouth.
“Do you think you guys will be okay with this!”
“Reveal your identity!”
Some nobles from the back looked at them and screamed.
Han Tae-soo frowned upon seeing this.
If you’ve been attacked first, it’s a battle that can no longer be avoided.
Tae-soo Han jumped forward without hesitation.
“Everyone shut up.”
bang-.
A black magic ball hits the ground.
Tae-soo Han skillfully avoided the magic ball that was directed at him as if sneering at him and slammed it to the side.
spatula-.
As soon as the sword is lifted into the sky, the man who fired the magic ball collapses helplessly.
A sharp pounding sound cut through the air.
spatula-.
Tae-soo Han calmly walks forward.
I slowly evade the enemies that are running towards me.
“Go together.”
Count Arkenent came forward to support Han Tae-soo.
Behind them are Solia and Siha Han. Those who could not use magic trembled and hid under the table, while those who did not came forward to protect them.
“I was eating well, but what is this all of a sudden?”
Won and Seymour instinctively raised their staffs and began to fend off the attackers.
bang-.
bang-.
The magic ball exploded with screams from all directions.
The peaceful engagement venue was quickly engulfed in a storm.
No one here can escape the storm. Han Tae-soo raised his sword high and cut his opponent with one hand.
Count Arkenent threw a magic ball and laid a barrier.
I don’t know what the trick was, but that black magic ball was quite dangerous.
They are the ones who use black magic.
Not knowing what kind of anomaly there might be in their magic, Count Arkenent had no choice but to be cautious.
Taesoo Han swept the battlefield like a storm.
‘I am too old to go to the battlefield again.’
Tae-soo Han said so, but his agile movements were not much different from before. True to his reputation as the Count of Blood, he does not hesitate in front of blood.
just cut it off,
blocking,
just kick it out
“Aww!”
“Attack!”
“Wow!”
The twenty warlocks were rapidly declining in number.
In fact, it would not be an exaggeration to say that Han Tae-soo was handling it alone.
His attack was daring and flawless. The sword that he wielded without looking accurately pierced the enemy and struck out all attacks directed at him.
There was no hesitation there.
If you have fought for decades according to the emperor’s orders, now you are fighting to protect those in this position.
Taesoo Han flaps his coat and slowly looks around the enemies around me.
“Is it cloning?”
Tae-soo Han laughed bitterly as he watched the robes fill up quickly.
A warlock who uses cloning is hiding here.
It is clear that the actual garden was twenty people, but it was growing rapidly.
Yes, there is no reason for the situation to change.
Annoying warlocks have been dealt with countless times.
spatula-.
In order to find a clever cloning man, Tae-soo Han slaughtered those who attacked indiscriminately.
“It’s all just scarecrows.”
The difference from the Scarecrow was that each life was so tough that it did not fall easily. Most of the wizards were strong enough to defeat them.
There are dozens of dolls that have the original abilities removed and embedded.
Han Tae-soo concentrated his mind and grabbed the sword.
“How many scarecrows did you think they could do with me?”
The determined eyes, as if they were going to cut everything, had a side that made the viewers terrified.
Han Tae-soo’s words were not exaggerated.
However, he was obviously old.
It’s still old, but not the same as it used to be.
Chaeeng-.
Han Tae-soo was frantically defeating the enemy in front of him, and he sensed that he had missed something.
Power that fell back considerably.
The eyes of the man in the robe gleamed subtly.
The look in his eyes was unpleasant, so Tae-soo Han cut off his neck.
spatula-.
Blood spattered and the man’s neck fell to the ground.
His gaze was still fixed on the back.
Taesoo Han slowly turned his head.
It was then that Tae-soo Han knew who they were aiming for.
It was my son.
