Loser's redo: Transmigration in a novel

Standing in front of the gate, Seveleen looked at the person who had helped her sister. She couldn't feel his presence at all, it was almost like he didn't exist at all. This could only mean one thing.

He was stronger than her.

A mage's way of sensing other's strength was different. The mana filled with their 'will' were like an extension of their senses which helps them to sense other people.

To a high rank mage, their 'will' filled mana extended up to 50 metres. But Seveleen wasn't able to sense Zick's presence in her perception no matter how much she tried.

Seveleen didn't even have to think for long to deduce who he was. She figured it out almost immediately.

'Zick Melvix'

Just from his noble clothes and appearance, She was able to tell who he was.

Zick looked to be 15 years old the same age as her so it was apparent as to who he was. As There was the only one person who surpassed her being the same age. This just made her more certain of her assumption of him being Zick.

It was almost known by all the nobles throughout the first continent that Zick was a peak rank knight.

Actually Zick could even hide his presence against a master rank swordsman but let a little of his presence be leaked intentionally. This allowed other people to sense the presence of his mana nerves, making them believe that he was still peak rank knight.

But now Zick had stopped even a tiny bit of his presence from leaking. There was no need for it anymore, soon everyone would know of his master level battle strength. There was a very low chance of Anelete keeping the information hidden.

Zick had originally planned to do this after absorbing the mana nerve into his body, officially becoming a master swordsman but he had to discard that plan after the assassin ambush.

If Zick continued doing what he did till now and still acted as a peak rank knight, he would stand to gain nothing from it anymore. Instead it will just make everyone suspicious of him.

Even if a master Swordsman appeared, they wouldn't be able to sense his presence. This would lead them to thinking that he was a master Swordsman as that was the only possible conclusion which could explain his situation.

Seveleen was initially surprised, staring towards Zick with suspicion hidden within her, but after making a conjecture about his identity she relaxed a little. It didn't matter even if her conjecture was wrong, what mattered is that he helped her sister.

"I am Seveleen Shivial, I would like to know if I can repay you in any way possible. Is there anything you need?" The smile on her face she had after reuniting with her sister vanished. In its place a calm expression appeared. She looked towards Zick and waited for his answer.

Though Zick's expression didn't change the whole, he was internally surprised meeting Seveleen like this. He didn't even know that she had a sister.

When Zick heard what Seveleen said, he didn't even need to consider what he needed.

'Money....I need money more than anything right now and It's for free too.'

Zick needed money not just for becoming an enchanter, there were many things that he had to spend money on.

'Like the underworld.....'

Almost all the ruling forces had an underworld where all illegal deals were carried out. The academic city had one too and Zick planned on coming in contact with them soon. He was also going to keep a long term business relationship with them.

"My name is Zick Melvix and give me money as a compensation."

It had been a long time since he carried himself like a noble but still there wasn't any flaw in his greeting.

"I see....It would take a few minutes to prepare the compensation so can you wait within the mansion?"

Seveleen was a little confused as to why a Duke's son was asking for money. But she didn't think deeply about it, all she wanted was to repay Zick for his favour right now.

There was no need to pay respect within the academy, but it was different within the academic city. So when Zick introduced himself as someone of a noble peerage, Seveleen had to invite him within the mansion.

Making a Duke's son stand in front of the mansion door could only be viewed as a very Discourteous act.

"Okay." Zick's response was almost immediate. His expression didn't change but he felt happy about getting money internally.

"Felena, show the guest way within the mansion." Seveleen spoke to the servant who had been standing near them for a while.

"Yes, Please this way sir"

The servant started leading the way professionally. Her movements were natural, showing that she had been trained from a very young age.

Seveleen and Eleoner moved separately, Seveleen going towards the butler to arrange the money, while Eleonee just followed her wanting to stay with her.

Seveleen wasn't worried about money at all, she was from a Duke family after all.

Walking behind the servant, Zick looked at the mansion.

The mansion of the Shivial family wasn't much different from Zick's mansion, they were both three stories high. Only the aesthetic sense could be said to be different.

Zick's mansion was very simple, there was a minimum amount of ornaments. So his mansion gave off the impression of a house that was only made to use temporarily.

But the Shivial family's mansion was totally the opposite. It had many ornaments all over the place. There were many beautiful flower pots and paintings hung on the wall. The furniture was on the brighter side making it look more lively.

Looking at all this, Zick could only think of the Melvix family to be extremely petty. They hadn't even given him any money when he left for the academy.

"Please wait in this room, sir." Leading Zick to a huge hall, the servant said this and went away after asking a few questions.

She had asked if Zick needed anything to only be answered with a firm 'no'.

Sitting upon one of the sofas in the middle of the hall, Zick contemplated the matter he had been considering for a while.

Without a doubt being a noble peerage gives a lot of benefits. Being the heir of the Melvix family was an idle position for Zick right now. He had the backing of the whole Melvix family without taking up any of the responsibilities.

But this won't last for long, Zick had to go to the second continent in a year. He would lose all his influence and would only be able to rely on himself then.

Zick had already begun planning on what he should do after reaching the second continent.

'I will conquer all the underworlds in there. This way my influence would at least increase to a certain degree.'
