Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: A Genius Was Born?

As Kanta grew up, he began to show an unusual intelligence.

At the age of 1, he could write even though nobody taught him to write. At first, when his parents saw him write, they were surprised, but they didn't have any feelings of fear. They were extremely happy because they merely thought that their son was a genius.

At the age of 2, he mastered 5 languages. Besides his mother tongue, Betnumese, he could speak Nionese, Eigish, Sueinish, and Chuokese. Then, his parents, excited by their son's foreign language skills, invited many foreign languages teachers to teach him many other languages. After 1 year, he mastered more than a hundred languages.

One day, Kanta went to an amusement park with his mom. While he was waiting for his mom to buy ice-cream for him, a black spirit suddenly appeared in front of him.

At first, when he saw the black spirit, he was so scared, and he cried. However, after just a second, the black spirit made his mouth shut and did not let him cry or speak a word.

"Hello," said the black spirit. "I've heard that you're a genius who can speak more than a hundred languages." At that point, the black spirit let him speak again.

"Yes, I am," said Kanta tremulously. "Do you need me to help you translate something?"

"Then, read this," said the black spirit, giving Kanta a piece of paper with many strange symbols on it.

"What language is this? I don't understand anything," said Kanta, staring at the piece of paper with curiosity.

"You'll learn it someday," said the black spirit. After saying this, the black spirit disappeared, and Kanta's mom came back to him again.

The symbols on the piece of paper are still a mystery.
