Genius Beauties

Our group, consisting of Stylis and thirty others, was watching the battle between three genius girls and one ordinary person against the special ghost.

No one was unimpressed by their strength.

They were all very powerful.

I just remembered who they were.

I got information about them from Aria yesterday.

The girl with round glasses and dark purple hair braided into two was named Freya Svartnatt.

Her physical strength was immense.

With just a punch, Freya could send the ghost snake flying into the sky.

Before gravity could pull the ghost down, Freya was already beside it, hitting it again. The mid-air assault ended with a hard punch to the ground.

Once more, before the ghost snake reached the ground, Freya was already there.

After preparing her punch, with perfect momentum, the ghost was hit so hard it sped forward and toppled many trees.

I am the source of Freya's physical strength.

She possesses one of my power factors, which is: Primordial Void Physique.

A physique from the primordial era when all jotun still lived in Ginnungagap.

Even though I am vanir, in reality, I am also of jotun descent.

I was born with this physique by luck.

The second genius girl is Stella Valkyrion.

She was born with two of my factors, but both are incomplete.

A pair of silver wings appeared on Stella's shoulders.

These wings are an incomplete version of Progenitor Essence Wings.

Their function is only to provide highly destructive negative energy, equivalent to my power; but she cannot control it.

Stella uses the negative energy from her wings as fuel for her sorcery, Holy Flame.

She created a silver flame sword with her sorcery.

With the silver flame sword, Stella decapitated the ghost snake.

The power of the silver flames was extraordinary and versatile; it kept burning the wound and prevented the ghost from regenerating.

However, if you look closely, the silver flames also burned Stella's hand.

Even though her face remained calm and composed, I knew she was in great pain.

The hand holding the silver flame sword was trembling.

Fortunately, her physique grants her incredible regenerative power.

The two factors she possesses are:

Primordial Void Physique. Since it is incomplete, she only gained the extraordinary regenerative power.

Progenitor Essence Wings, a pair of wings made from the flames of Muspelheim and the ice of Niflheim. Since they are incomplete, she only gained the Silver Wings, a lower version.

The power granted by these wings is just highly destructive negative energy that cannot be controlled.

The latter one truly defies the laws of nature in a negative sense.

Negative energy should not be able to harm its user.

"As expected from Holy Child."

"They are very strong."

"Holy Child, those born with the attributes of gods."

In this era, those who possess my factors are called Holy Children.

They are symbols of power and subjects of envy for everyone.

The third genius girl is Eve; she is a commoner who entered the noble academy because of her abilities.

With just instinct, she could use a intermediate level technique: Reversal.

Reversal is a technique that allows the user to create positive energy by multiplying two negative energies.

Just like in mathematics: if a negative is multiplied by a negative, the result is positive.

Positive energy is the opposite of negative; it has healing power and is very effective against ghosts.

Due to her lack of combat experience, Eve uses her negative energy as projectiles.

The last one is just an ordinary girl.

There is nothing special about her worth mentioning.

Her presence in the battle meant nothing.

She even made Freya and Stella's work harder.

"Mr. Stylis, who is that black-haired girl?

She is just a burden to the Holy Children.

She ruins the view."

A student asked Stylis.

I agree with her.

If Made In Heaven and Olympus are behind the scenes,

Then the three genius girls are the players on stage.

The black-haired girl should be a spectator with the other normies.

"Shh! Shut your mouth, don't speak so loudly.

She is the second princess of this kingdom, Selena Elis."

"Are you sure she is the sister of Helia Elis, the genius?"

"Yes, Selena is indeed her sister.

But, they are opposites.

If Helia is a genius, then Selena is very ordinary."

"Mr. Stylis, why are you just standing here?

Why don't you fight with them?"

I spoke to this narcissistic teacher.

"Encountering a special ghost is a rare opportunity for them.

As a good teacher, I want them to gain the experience of fighting a special ghost."

"Just admit you're scared.

Your legs are trembling, you know?"

Everyone looked down, and indeed, his legs were trembling.

His face turned pale after everyone saw his true self.

"Stupid, his legs are shaking not because he's scared, but because he's preparing his sorcery." Once again, this girl defended Stylis, the short-haired girl.

"She is right; this is due to my sorcery."

The ghost snake was in a pathetic state.

Its head had been decapitated, its tail cut off.

The two snake heads at the ends of its arms were also gone.

"Alright, let me help them."

Stylis said confidently while walking and fluttering his robe.

This guy is truly shameless.

He only moved when the ghost was dying.

What 'help', he just wanted to steal the spotlight.

Stylis walked forward confidently, passing through the puddle of the ghost's blood.

Wait!! A puddle of blood?

Ghosts do bleed, but any severed body parts would instantly turn to dust, including the blood. That's the nature of ghost bodies.

But here was a puddle of the special ghost's blood.

"Stupid, get away from that puddle of blood!!!"

Freya shouted at Stylis.

"Huh?"

Before Stylis could move, a snake formed from the puddle of blood.

The snake jumped and bit Stylis' head off.

The headless body spewed a large amount of blood before collapsing backward.

All the spectators were silent.

They couldn't believe a first-class sorcerer died just like that.

"In reality, a first-class sorcerer isn't that strong.

It's just a title anyone can buy.

No wonder he died."

Everyone looked at me after I said that.

Ah...! Damn! My true personality slipped out.

"Kyaaaaaaah!!!"

"Run! Save your lives!!"

"It's dangerous here, there's a special ghost!!"

All the spectators immediately left since there was no first-class sorcerer to protect them.

Sorry, Stylis. You died because of my prank.

"Why did you die just like that, Mr. Stylis?!

Didn't you promise to marry me yesterday when we slept together?!"

The short-haired girl - who had been defending Stylis - cried hysterically.

Stylis, you truly deserved to die.

How could you, in your thirties, abuse your authority with a fifteen-year-old girl?

Just like the other normies, I also ran after taking Stylis' sorcery.

But when I was on my way, after making sure no one was watching, I jumped up into a tree.

There was a spiritual object in my hand that only I could see.

It was a white orb containing a lump of light; this was Stylis' sorcery.

"The Body Possesses Physical Object."

As its name suggests, this allowed Stylis to possess physical objects, including human bodies.

"Useless."

In the end, it was my sword, The Old Dream, that absorbed the sorcery.

I only used the sorcery within my sword.

If I activated Stylis' sorcery, only my sword could possess physical objects, not me.

"But I still won't discard it."

After making The Old Dream absorb Stylis' sorcery, their battle ended in the girls' victory.

After taking the ghost dust as proof of their victory, they left.

I went to the place where the ghost died.

There was a black spiritual orb that only I could see.

It was the manifestation of the ghost's skill.

"I'll take this."

******************

The average building in the kingdom's capital is three to four stories high.

That's because the architecture of this era hasn't developed much.

But there is one very striking building.

This building is a thirty-story tower, ten times taller than the average building.

Named Darkflow Tower, it is owned by the Darkflow Group.

A business group under the wing of Made in Heaven, led by Aquaria.

I live on the top floor, a penthouse.

This room is very comfortable to live in.

The four sides of the wall are glass, providing a full view of the city.

Spacious room, beautiful view, complete facilities, truly a top-class penthouse usually only owned by the wealthy.

I commend Aquaria for preparing this penthouse for me.

"Coffee for you, my lord."

Aria handed me her coffee.

Given the current background, she seemed like a very caring wife to her husband.

"Your coffee is delicious as always, Aria."

"Your praise is a pleasure for me, my lord.

By the way, I heard you took many people to see a first-class sorcerer die easily.

You are truly amazing, my lord.

With this, news about the first-class sorcerer dying from just one attack by a special ghost will spread quickly.

Olympus won't be able to suppress the news.

People will start to underestimate first-class sorcerers."

There was no such intention.

It all happened because I wanted to prank him.

I didn't expect him to actually die.

But, let it be.

********************

Even though the first-class sorcerer died, school continued as usual.

I attended, from morning until noon, taking general classes, and from noon until evening, I took archery classes.

When I was about to go home, I was confronted by Selena, a talentless princess.

"You, be my boyfriend."

Is this princess crazy?
