I Have been Reincarnated As a Lazy, Arrogant Noble, but When I Destroyed The Scenario Through Effort, I Became The Most Powerful With Extraordinary Magical Power - 15

015 – Unusual Successful Passers

All the tests were over.

In conclusion, everything was a breeze for me, Weiss Fancent.

Whether it was the written exam, magic, or swordsmanship, I excelled in all of them.

However, one thing bothered me—the existence of the protagonist, Alan.

As per the original story, I ended up fighting him in the mock test.

Though I was told to hold back, I couldn’t suppress the throbbing feeling inside me and fought with all my might.

And the result… it was a complete victory for me.

Alan couldn’t lay a finger on me, and with my original magic, I reduced his physical abilities, leaving him lying on the ground.

But when I looked at his face, I was terrified.

No matter how many times I defeated him, he kept getting up, and his magic power kept getting stronger.

Both in magic and swordsmanship, he shouldn’t have been able to match me, but it took time to defeat him.

I had worked hard all along, and I’m sure Alan did too, but there were still unexplainable parts.

That feeling scared me to the core.

I felt like I had been reminded that this was the protagonist.

“He looked like he was having fun.”

“Huh? What do you mean?”

“When you were fighting that boy, Alan. You had a smile on your face. It gave me shivers. It reminded me of the old… Weiss.”

I was surprised by Cynthia’s words. I should have found it terrifying, but apparently, I seemed to have enjoyed it.

I couldn’t understand it myself, but it seems the natural Weiss and my current feelings are mixed together.

An indescribable anxiety.

But for now, I had reached a temporary break.

I shouldn’t dwell too much on it now and just wait for the results… but…

“Lillith, Cynthia, can I ask you something?”

“Yes?”

“What is it?”

“If I were to say that I wanted to crush someone until they were beyond recovery… what would you do?”

I was surprised by myself for asking such a question, but I was curious about how they would feel.

“I don’t quite understand the meaning, but I affirm everything about you, Weiss-sama.”

“I feel the same as Lillith. With just a single word from Weiss-sama, anyone can become anything.”

Their loyalty or quick responses made me smile involuntarily.

Ah, I guess I’m not a good person after all.

Although there is no clear answer yet, I will stay true to myself and avoid destruction.

“Thank you, it was helpful.”

“Weiss-sama, when you’re unsure, there’s also the coin trick!”

Heads or tails, crush or not crush, that might be interesting too.

Noblesse Academy – Meeting Room.

The headmaster, teachers, and two familiar figures, including Weiss, gathered in the academy’s meeting room.

“So, Milch, Zebis, what have you done to Weiss?”

A grandfatherly figure with deep-set, sharp eyes and a white beard sat at the head of the table, absentmindedly stroking his beard.

“Nothing much. If anything, we provided some basic training.”

“I did the same. Just supported him with meals.”

Though the two responded calmly, a tall, fiery-haired man with an angry expression slammed the table.

“Don’t mess with us! In addition to the four major attributes, he mastered original magic of light and darkness? There’s no way he could achieve that with just basic training!”

“Darius, calm down. They are not lying.”

“But… headmaster, that ‘Alan’ guy really suffered. He had exceptional talent, but he was killed because of ‘Weiss’.”

“Don’t scream just because you lost a serious battle. Would you say the same thing on the battlefield?”

“What? Milch, you accepted Weiss’s invitation, so I had to take over Alan’s guidance! What’s with that attitude?”

“Jealousy is unbecoming. Are you taking it out on me because your disciple lost?”

Despite Darius’s flaring temper, Milch remained composed, while Zebis intervened to calm things down.

“Milch, Darius, let’s stop this. — Headmaster, you called us here for another reason, didn’t you?”

“Yes, indeed. I’ve known about the rumors surrounding Weiss Fancent for a while now. That’s what I thought his abilities or rather, his talents might be dangerous. As his mentors, as his butlers, I wanted to know how you feel about it.”

The headmaster spoke quietly.

Upon hearing his words, Milch and Zebis flashed a faint smile.

“Weiss is interesting. He has both good and bad sides. I can’t fully grasp him yet, but I want to see the future he creates.”

“Agreed. However, he has changed. I can assure you that he will never use his power against the weak.”

“I see. Very well, I apologize. As a matter of fact, Weiss achieved the highest score in the academy’s history in all the exams. However, there were complaints about going overboard during combat tests. Considering the rumors we’ve heard so far, there were many grievances. All the examiners who were in charge of him unanimously said he was formidable.”

“I see. But does that have any relation to the pass or fail?”

Milch’s words made Darius raise his voice, but the headmaster stepped forward, gesturing to him to stop.

“As you say, it has nothing to do with it. Luckily, this year, we have an exceptional group of students, including the commoner ‘Alan,’ the holy daughter ‘Sharry,’ the silent witch ‘Lillith,’ and ‘Weiss,’ who has mastered all attributes and more. I’ve heard that there are other interesting individuals as well. So, let’s go ahead. This year, we will increase the number of successful candidates beyond the norm.”

“What!? Headmaster!? That would set a precedent!”

“To hell with the rules, Milch, Zebis.”

The headmaster smiled quietly. Seeing that, Milch burst into an unusual laughter.

“I like that face. It’s just like when we were running in the Dark War. Headmaster Gils.”

“It’s nostalgic, indeed. I didn’t expect Darius to become a teacher, though.”

“Zebis, it’s your way of speaking that bothers me.”

The four of them reminisced about their past memories and smiled.

And so, this year, Noblesse Academy had an unprecedented number of successful candidates.

Among them, the rumors about Weiss, who achieved top marks, spread among the current students, graduates, and the powerful.

This year, there was an incredible “most vicious” student among them.
