Until I, A Fallen Nobleman, Was Called the Great Sage With My Hazure Skill “Super Jack-of-All-Trades

I’m getting the ingredients to push Brao and Retzel to the brink and finish them off.

It is a miracle that I was able to make it this far at the age of ten, but I still did whatever I could and moved on to the next move without slowing down.

“Yogus, how far can you see with your [appraisal]?”

“Hmm? It’s unusual for Lars to talk to me. Is there something you want me to appraise?”

“Let’s see …… For example, can you see the name of the product, or even the manufacturer? And can you [appraise] me?”

Of course, this is what I want to do with the poison. But since I can’t have Yogus appraise it, I just want to know how much the skill can verify. Then Yogus closed his book and turned to me with a rare smile on his face.

“I don’t have a choice, I’ll tell you since it’s my classmate’s favor …… But my [appraisal] is still not much, though. In simple terms, there are different classes of [appraisal], from G to A. The higher the class, the more items you can see. Of course, training is needed to increase the accuracy, but as Lars said, you can also see the manufacturer. I managed to get past the “F” rank, but I need at least a “D” rank to see the manufacturer, so I’m sorry, but I can’t meet Lars’ expectations. Even so, as a scholar, I will definitely aim for an A rank. At that time, please rely on me to the fullest! And it’s impossible to “see” Lars himself without an A rank. It’s got all the weaknesses, likes and dislikes, skills and habits.”

Ohhh …… Yogus, who usually doesn’t talk much, talks a lot …… Maybe it’s that, [Appraisal] is a common skill, so maybe he’s the type that doesn’t get much attention.  But I was thinking that seeing individuals is still a very difficult task, and then Yogus regained his breath and returned to normal. 

“…… My knowledge is limited to what I can find in a library or something. Are you interested in [Appraisal], Lars?”

“Well, yes. If possible, I’d like to have a D-ranked person who can see the manufacturer.”

“Hmm? Lars has been visiting the guild, hasn’t he? There should be someone there named Gibson-san, why don’t you ask him?”

“What!? So it’s that person!?”

“Yeah. In the guild, the main skill of [appraisal] is an important position, and it seems that there is always one working there. I think it would be a good idea to go there, don’t you?”

“Thank you, that’s very helpful.”

I’m glad that I found an ally in an unlikely place. It seems that a lot of people get [Appraisal], but since it’s a skill that can’t be replaced, just having it makes you feel secure. 

So I went to Gibson-san’s after school to talk about the situation with Hauzen-san. We’ve already decided to cause a ruckus at the harvest festival. There was a chance that I would be stopped, but I knew that Hauzen-san, who adored my dad, would understand.

“…… So that’s the poison. I’ve been thinking that Brao would be able to do it, but I didn’t realize that the doctor was in on it too. You’re a reputable doctor, so there’s no room for doubt, right? Gibson.”

“I know. [Eyes of Essence]”

“Oh ……!”

Gibson-san, with an unusually grim face, muttered a skill and passed his magic power through the bottle. I looked at the faintly glowing bottle and exclaimed in admiration. And then–

“…… hmm?”

Looking at Gibson-san’s magic power, information enters my mind.

[Appraisal results]

Strong Poison Bottle　

Created by: Brao Gute

Main poison: Colchicine (alkaloid)

A Poisonous Potion Made from Plant Leaves.

(T/N: I think this is the first time Brao’s lastname is said. Colchicine is Extremely toxic if overdosed. Colchicine is a plant-based alkaloid, extracted from Colchicum autumnale (autumn crocus, meadow saffron) and Gloriosa superba (glory lily) used to treat gout and some other inflammatory conditions. I thought it’s necessary so I searched it.)

“What ……!?”

“What is it, Lars?”

“N-No …….”

When I was confused, Gibson-san opened his mouth. The result was the same as what I had just seen.

“It looks like you’re right. Does this mean we need to question Brao-san and the doctor?”

“You’re right …… Lars, good job. Now we can get rid of Brao! Does Roen-san know about this?”

“I haven’t told my father. I didn’t want to worry him until I was sure.”

“Mmm …… is that what a child would think about? Well, I’ll get right on it.”

“Wait a minute! I don’t want to tell my dad until after I’m done. Besides, the harvest festival is coming up, and if it’s canceled, everyone will be disappointed, right?”

In order to satisfy my ego that I want to settle this matter by myself, I tell him what it seems like.

“…… Okay. But Lars, you don’t have to do anything anymore. It’s up to the adults to do something about it.”

“Please take care of it.”

I bowed my head and left the guild. I decided to divide the contents of the poison bottle in half and hold the evidence in two. There’s no guarantee that there won’t be a Brao faction in the guild.

–After that, it was a gamble whether Hauzen-san would take action before the harvest festival, but it was absolutely necessary to evaluate the poison.

I didn’t expect things to move so quickly, so it’s a shame we won’t be able to save up any money before the final battle, but we should be able to make some money before the next election after another other becomes lord. Next is–

I reconsidered, and turned to go home to talk to Nina. Then…

“Lars!”

“Ryuuze?”

On the road before the hill, I was stopped by Ryuuze.

◆ 　 ◇ 　 ◆

After dinner, I was alone in my father’s vegetable garden. It’s not too far from my house, though.

…… Tomorrow is the harvest festival. Thank God Hauzen-san said he would press charges after the harvest festival because Retzel wouldn’t know we had evidence.

With the harvest festival coming up tomorrow, I reflect on the past month or so. I don’t have many allies, but I have a good number of them and the preparations ready.

Tomorrow night, when the king enters the lord’s mansion, I will step in. I need to be the one to bring evidence and accusations directly to the King.

Surely this could be Hauzen-san, the head of the academy, or even Ryuuze. Maybe it’s time for me to tell my parents. 

But there is a good chance that they will resent me for doing this. It’s okay if I’m the only one who takes it, and this is my fight. There is a possibility that I will be punished for my behavior towards the King.

“Everything will be decided tomorrow.”

Gasp ……

“…… Who is it!”

“It’s me, Lars-kun.”

When I heard the sound of grass being stepped on, I turned around and saw Verna-senseo standing there. This is my teacher who has been eliminating intruders and observers with our “observation”. There had been several reports to Brao, but at some point, no one came here anymore.

“Thank you, Verna-sensei.”

“Is it too early to thank me? Make sure you come back to tell me that.”

Thanks to her, I had the power to create this commotion. If that’s what teacher says, then I have no choice but to respond in this way.

“Of course I’ll make an effort? After all, my skill is [Jack-of-all-Trades].”

After a moment of puzzling over my words, Verna-sensei narrowed her eyes and smiled.

And so, the harvest festival of destiny begins again–

Next time, Lars’ dark passions will engulf everything!

Thank you for reading!

What are you being cocky for ……!
