sorry bro. it's not. genius is something inherent. although factors like environment could improve one's IQ or skill, it is not very far from the person's actual intelligence.
such exceptionality is only verified through a series of tests related to his/her expertise... on tv, the word is overused. being a genius is more than memorizing all countries and their capitals. it requires a lot more than that to be labeled as a 'genius'.
as for 'geniuses' in the manga, i think athena and maria fits the criteria. athena especially -- the way she speaks as a kid, social life mainly around adults, except hayate and hina, decision-making skills, her priorities as a child are all indicators of it.
as for maria, i can't say much because she has really few screen time
. nagi and hina might be around superior.
being a genius does not equate achievement. that is why even if hina might not be on the same caliber as athena or maria in terms of mental ability. she excels in a lot of areas, including the acads.
