Chapter 25: Useless? No, He’s A Genius!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Kulenna? What a weird name.

Bernal looked at him in puzzlement.

When Kulenna took off his magic hat, Bernal noticed that he had unique ears.

Sharp and slender ears were the characteristics of elves.

An elven mage from the capital?

It shouldn’t be. Liluca is a human kingdom, and it’s essentially impossible for there to be a mage from another race.

This kingdom was not Enchika, the magic kingdom. It was almost impossible to attract foreign mages to work here.

In that case, the mage might have been a half-elf, a so-called mixed-blood.

While Bernal was observing Kulenna, Kulenna was also studying Bernal.

His emerald eyes sparkled with a unique glint.

Noticing Kulenna’s gaze, Moss asked, “How is it? Did you see anything odd?”

Moss’ tone was very calm, and his voice was lackluster. However, the moment he said it, it immediately attracted everyone’s attention.

Bernal looked at the two of them questioningly.

What is he looking for in me?

He could tell that his parents did not bring this mage here only to introduce him.

Bernal’s puzzled gaze landed on Kulenna as he began to guess.

Why is this guy here?

As he felt everyone’s attention on him, Kulenna paused and slowly said.

“I can’t see anything for the time being. I can only sense that there is quite a bit of power in Young Master Nielson’s body.”

Kulenna seemed fastidious as if he had weighed every word for a long time.

It made him gently speak as if he was singing.

It sounded soothing, while Kulenna’s voice was unique, making one feel at peace after hearing it.

“The talentless appearance should be false.”

“Really? In that case, our Bernal isn’t talentless?”

Eva was excited. She looked at Bernal, who had yet to react, and hugged him.

“Mother.”

Bernal seemed to be at a loss.

“Did you hear that, Bernal? Master Kulenna said that you might be a genius.”

Other than Bernal himself, Moss and Eva were equally concerned about Bernal’s talent.

“As a child of the Nielson family, even if he is born with a lack of talent, he can still make up for it through hard work.”

The Nielson family was a family of experts who had guarded the border for generations. Every generation, a level-nine warrior would appear. Their bloodline had undergone a benign transformation unknowingly.

In such circumstances, a child without any talent was born.

There were only two possibilities. Either this was not Margrave Moss’s child, or this child was too talented.

Sometimes, a person’s talent might be so high that they seem to have no talent at all.

Many famous heroes in history had kept a low profile when they were younger, looking like ordinary humans.

It was not because these people were really ordinary, but because their talent was too high.

Typically, this type of person hid terrifying power in their bodies.

Their bodies could not withstand all of this.

Therefore, being too talented was not necessarily a good thing. It could also be a curse.

Kulenna briefly explained this theory to Moss and Eva.

Hearing that her precious son was not useless but too powerful, Eva was both happy and worried.

“Don’t worry, Mrs. Nielson. I’m here to solve this problem.”

Kulenna looked at Bernal with a burning gaze.

After learning about Bernal, Kulenna knew that his chance had arrived.

Bernal was wrong. Kulenna was not a mixed-blood but a purebred elf.

As Bernal had thought, the status of a purebred elven mage was rather awkward in a human kingdom.

Although he was called a master, some discrimination was inevitable.

Only Kulenna knew the bitterness of this.

But he did not regret coming to this nation.

It was just that if possible, he hoped that this nation could embrace him.

For this reason, he took the initiative to visit after finding out about Bernal.

If he could nurture a hero or even a legend for the Kingdom of Liluca as the hero’s mentor, his status would definitely rise. At that time, the country’s discrimination of him would be much smaller.

“Young Master Nielson is likely a future hero who has a chance of leaving his name in history.”

“I will guide Young Master Nielson well.”

Mos looked at the excited and excited Kulenna with thoughts in his mind.

He knew about Kulenna’s situation, so he did not have any objections to the visit.

However, from Kulenna’s reaction, it was likely that he had suffered more than Moss had imagined.

Still, this was a good thing for him.

The worse the situation was for Kulenna, the more effort it would be for the other party to educate his child in order to change this situation.

With this thought in mind, Moss felt relieved as he watched silently for the time being.

“In the past, many heroes only lasted for a while before they were out of the spotlight. It is because they didn’t have the right person to guide them.

“I hereby swear that I will teach Young Master Nielson to the best of my abilities.”

“We’ll leave it to you, Master Kulenna.” Hearing Kulenna’s solemn vow, Eva replied seriously.

A magic teacher?

No, it seemed like it was not only magic but also battle aura and combat skills.

Elves were born with an affinity to nature. Every elf had great magical talent.

Because of this, many people would often subconsciously ignore the other talents of the elves.

In addition to their outstanding magical talent, every elf was a natural assassin and archer.

They also had considerable talent in the battle aura and combat skills.

Therefore, excellent elves often cultivated both magic and combat skills.

Bernal looked at Kulenna, who sensed his gaze, and smiled back.

Looking at Kulenna, Bernal sighed.

He did not expect that his talent was not as bad as he imagined. Instead, it was too good.

However, if Bernal found out about it months ago, he might be excited to know the truth.

Now, Bernal no longer cared about this.

It was meaningless.

Bernal had already signed a contract with Rogeria, and he was no longer interested in magic or combat skills.

Still…

Looking at his mother, who was notably excited, and his father, who was silently watching him, Bernal gave a big smile and waved at Kulenna.

“Then please guide me in the future, Teacher Kulenna.”

“It is my honor, Young Master Nielson..”
