001. Reincarnation (1)
“Where is Prince Veris hiding? ?”
“I don’t know. I’ve looked all over the room and even the warehouse, but I can’t find it.”
The servants of the count’s mansion were busy running around to find the count’s son, Berris, who had disappeared.
It’s a hide-and-seek game that started from the day I took my toes. As the body grows, the strange prank becomes stronger and stronger, enough to take out the souls of users with normal abilities.
“Look.”
Seeing the servants running around every corner of the mansion, Count Wittelsbach, the owner of the mansion, caught the servants passing by.
Of course, the servant had no choice but to stand in front of him sweating at the owner’s voice calling him.
“Is it yet?”
“That, that…… !”
“Don’t be too scared. It’s not easy even for me to find my son.”
“I will do my best to find Young master. I will make sure not to miss the etiquette class this time!”
At first glance, the voice seemed determined, but the Count was well aware that it was practically impossible for them to find his son.
Even if the child is only 10 years old, the story will change if the child has realized his magical power.
Should I be glad that the monster who awakened mana at the age of only ten is his son, or should I be worried? Now that time has passed, he is a son who has reached the stage of mana handling.
The Count shook his head and left the busy hallway to enter his office. Perhaps the commotion will not end until the sun goes down, when the teacher who came to teach etiquette returns.
At the mansion, when the servants were suffering from such a commotion, the boy named Veris, whom they were looking for, was leisurely lying on the hay in a corner of the stable.
She is only ten years old. However, the boy was currently practicing wrapping mana around his finger and processing it thinly.
‘Should I do this?’
Berris, who was stabbed and gained a new life, enjoyed every day.
The cause is ‘mana’, this unknown power that he is dealing with right now.
The power of mana, which is probably difficult to prove with any science on earth, was surprisingly thickly distributed everywhere in the world.
And those who train with it in their bodies are called knights or wizards.
Think about it. A world where the sky is slit with swords and mountains are razed by magic.
Naturally, Veris started craving this mana from the time she was babbling. And now, a mere 10-year-old kid was showing enough mana utilization that an apprentice knight or magician would look down on them.
[ Enough mana proficiency increases magic experience by 10! ]
[ Enough mana proficiency increases magic experience by 11! ]
Of course, it wasn’t just hard work and talent alone.
What helped Veris the most after waking up in this unknown world was the help of the ‘system’, not any teacher or parent.
To put it simply, it was similar to the functions in the game.
A fraudulent ability that first showed you your abilities and skills, and also tells you things like experience points you get in real time.
At first, Veris thought this was an ability everyone had. However, growing up and finding out, it was just Verice’s misunderstanding.
This ability called the system was entirely unique to Veris.
Ugh-
‘Ah, that sucks.’
When the idea failed spectacularly this time, Veris frowned.
This was the problem with Mana. If you handle it well, you can get almost infinite power, but it is not easy to control mana in the first place.
The only consolation thing is that despite these many failures, the experience points are constantly piling up.
[ Enough mana proficiency increases magic experience by 9! ]
[ Magical stat increases by reaching growth experience. ]
“Oh!”
It wasn’t long before I was annoyed because processing the collected mana didn’t work out. Soon, Veris jumped up from her seat at the sound of a machine.
I couldn’t even remember the last time I heard a message about increasing my stats. But since she unexpectedly took a step forward, she doesn’t know whether to like it or hate it.
The only thing that is certain is that she has grown up herself. Veris soon calmed down and opened her status window to check her abilities.
＜ Abilities＞
Power: 80
Intellect: 95
mana: 98
Agility: 73
Charm: 97
It’s such a beautiful ability that makes my heart flutter.
Although he couldn’t confirm his father, the count’s abilities, perhaps because of his low abilities, what is certain is that Veris, who is still ten years old, has overwhelming strength compared to the soldiers of the estate.
What is regrettable is the fact that the aptitude for magic is excessively concentrated to be said to be a descendant of the historic knight family called Wittelsbach?
However, one thing to keep in mind is that Veris hasn’t properly trained in stamina and swordsmanship yet.
So, in the end, this is also a problem that time will solve.
I was doing basic exercise along with my family’s knights and territory soldiers, but that’s not formal learning.
“Then let’s go now.”
Veris patted her buttocks and back to shake off the dust, then left her stable with her cautious steps.
It is etiquette education that makes you feel irritable and sleepy. However, Veris did not forget that the lower nobles his father had invited were waiting for him, and the servants would be sweating their feet looking for him.
No matter how much he hates etiquette education, at least Berrys doesn’t want his father’s honor to be brought to bear on it.
Isn’t there a saying that it is not overpaid? In other words, too much polka dot will be poisonous.

“Hu, that’s great.”
Baron Sellum, who was invited by Count Wittelsbach to take charge of etiquette education for his son, nodded his head with a trembling expression.
In front of him, Veris was acting the image of an aristocrat attending a party with perfect tone and posture.
It has already been a long months of etiquette training. He was learning about party manners to decorate the end of it, but how easily he copied what he showed!
Isn’t it like a thunderbolt from the blue sky for Sellum, who was thinking of getting a few more lessons.
“Sorry. Then, is the etiquette education over today?”
“Um…… It’s thanks to him that he learned so much faster than expected.”
Actually, there was something I was thankful for for Sellum, who usually skipped Berris.
It’s Baron Sellum. Every time he visited the Count’s mansion, he was receiving a certain amount of tuition from the Count, and it was a decent source of income for the poor baron.
But the trouble is, this playful-looking rambunctious kid will digest the heat if you tell him one thing.
That’s why Sellum, who was delighted at the fact that Veris didn’t hide and didn’t come out today, can’t help but fall in love with this kid’s ability that suddenly appeared.
‘I thought he only liked to play.’
Sellum, the neighboring county and manor, was also aware of the overwhelming talent of this child.
To the extent that it is not an exaggeration to say that he was born with the blessing of mana, he had already had the experience of awakening and handling mana himself.
However, because she handles mana well, learning in other fields will be quicker. Sellum, who thought that, did not know that it would be so easy to learn the manners of nobles who boast a long tradition. If he is going to absorb his own education so easily, he wants to ask why he has been hiding in every etiquette class in the meantime.
“At this rate, the speed is no different from that of other nobles, isn’t it?”
“Yes?”
“The speed at which I learned etiquette from Baron Sellum. I heard that children from other aristocratic families also receive four to six months of etiquette education.”
At Berris’ words, Sellum felt his fluff stand on end.
It is a small child whose height is about his waist.
By the way, this boy was asking Sellum about the ‘learning speed’ he had shown. It was as if he deliberately matched the speed of education shown by children from other aristocratic families.
From noble mtl dot com
Gulp.
Even though it was an innocent boy’s question, Sellum had no choice but to swallow dry saliva.
Wittelsbach territory, the eastern edge of the empire called the countryside. However, for some reason, Sellum felt that the boy in front of her would not grow up to be an ordinary person.

– Chaeng! Visor!
Looking at the sparring performed by the knights belonging to the family knights, Veris let out a sluggish yawn.
The place where he is now lying down again is the roof of the mansion, where you can see the inside of the training center very clearly.
It sounds obvious, but the fact that you can see down well from here means that you can see up very well even from down there.
That’s why Veris spread her mana and distorted her surroundings. It was a truly irrational ability, but what can I do? What makes the irrationality possible is the application of mana.
“It’s worse than I thought.”
It is said that the nameless knight who conquered the East with a single sword in the past received a title and a fief as the beginning of the Count Wittelsbach family.
Compared to that reputation of the past, the level of the knights was lousy. It would be colorless to say that the military power of a member of a knight shows the prestige of the family.
“Isn’t that the average of the world’s knights?”
Beris has not yet properly studied the secret swordsmanship of her family, so she does not even know the master of the sword. However, the level of articles that were not very good even from Veris’ point of view.
Aside from physical strength right now, just by strengthening the body with mana, Veris could be confident in moving faster than them.
– Chaeng! Kagagak!
The sparse exchange of swords for a while ended with a knight missing the sword.
It was a sparring that was boring enough to make me feel bored. However, the two knights who were involved were probably more satisfied with the sparring than they thought, and they were sitting down and reviewing the content of the sparring.
“I…… I hate learning swords from them.”
Because of his appearance, Veris couldn’t help but worry.
The father of Veris, the head of the count family, was a very busy man.
Because he is a lord who has to take care of everything from inside the territory to diplomacy with other nobles and military affairs.
That’s why his father can’t always supervise Berris’ training. If so, wouldn’t it be possible for those knights to observe Berith’s training soon?
‘If that’s the case, I’d rather do it alone.’
Seriously, Berris thought so. I felt sorry for the knights, but I couldn’t help but feel reluctant to see those sparring matches.
In the first place, he was Berris who didn’t even think about the abnormal power he possessed.
