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 - 20

020 – Karta Violet

Vincent Fancent, the eldest son of the Fancent family, was infamous and known by everyone.

He was a cruel and wicked noble who took pleasure in humiliation, showing no regard for others as human beings. That’s the rumor I had heard about him.

I thought I would never have any connection with someone like him, being a timid and cowardly person myself.

I saw him for the first time during the entrance exam.

It was said that he disliked putting in effort, living a lazy life using his authority to do as he pleased, but his magical prowess was unparalleled.

With just one glance, I could tell how much effort he had put in.

When the mock test with Alan-kun began, he unleashed formidable magic without any hesitation.

My body trembled, and I felt the urge to run away even though I wasn’t facing him.

I had no interest in attending Noble’s Academy. I was just here to take the exam because my parents told me to.

Of course, my best friend encouraged me too.

We were happy when both of us passed, but I still felt somewhat uneasy.

During the entrance ceremony, when I heard about the point system from Professor Chloe, my heart tightened.

To graduate, one must push down many others.

That’s something I couldn’t do.

And then… My best friend got expelled.

I wished to be at ease, to avoid conflicts.

Perhaps because of my timidity, I started getting involved with some girls from the same room.

They could make fun of me, but it hurt when they mocked my best friend.

Still, I couldn’t bring myself to act.

It was painful, agonizing…

“There’s nothing uglier than fights at the bottom.”

At that moment, he, Weiss-kun, appeared.

At first, I thought he came to make fun of us, but as soon as he arrived, the bullies left.

Maybe he came to help me… but it was not the case.

He didn’t want to see a weakling like me. If I was that weak, I should disappear from the academy, he scolded.

I see, I was just a nuisance.

However, to my surprise, he said he wanted to pair up with me.

I didn’t understand why. What did he want?

But he praised my flight magic.

People around might think that others have natural talents, but it’s not like I hadn’t put in any effort.

I still vividly remember the day I first flew in the sky.

I constructed flight magic in an instant to save a cat that had fallen off a cliff.

But after that day, no miracles occurred.

I wanted to see that scenery again, and with that determination, I began my efforts.

Every day, despite people telling me that I was lying about flying, I kept striving relentlessly.

Over a long period of time, the miracle eventually became my specialty.

That’s when I finally mastered it.

But Weiss-kun had understood it all from the beginning.

And he supported me.

He asserted that my magic was amazing.

He made me believe we were equals.

From that moment, I started training with him.

“Karuta, are you serious about this?”

Weiss-kun was… very strict.

Just because I was a girl, he wouldn’t go easy on me.

But… that made me happy.

I am short, weak, and lack physical strength.

Despite that, he took the time for me, and in the end, he said, “You can definitely do it.”

He openly shared his feelings and praised my efforts.

It’s okay to be weak, it’s okay not to have the strength to stand up, just be proud of yourself.

Until now, I have been approached several times.

“Would you team up with me?” “Would you team up with me?” they said.

But behind those words, everyone looked down on me. They wanted to use me.

I can “see” that.

But amidst all that…

“Karta, you’re amazing. Fight alongside me.”

Only Weiss-kun looks at me straight. With no ulterior motives, no flattery, as equals.

“You still have a lot left… You can do it.”

“That’s the spirit! Show those fools who underestimated you.”

Eventually, I started to wish for the same scenery as Weiss-kun.

I want to be strong, feared by others, just like him.

“Karta, what are you doing alone?”

“Huh? Oh, I was thinking of having lunch…”

“We should eat together.”

“But… Cynthia-san and Lillith-san are also here…”

“So what? They don’t mind.”

“Really?”

Even though he appears scary, Weiss-kun has many good qualities.

He can be clumsy, still frightening, but also has a cute side.

I realized that rumors can’t be trusted.

“…Flying magic is difficult, isn’t it?”

“Weiss-kun, are you serious about this?”

“…One more time.”

“Hehe, let’s do our best.”

Hardworking, straightforward, and cool – that’s Weiss-kun.

Many people had asked me to teach them flying magic before, but no one had really been serious about it.

They just wanted some simple tips or tricks.

But he is different.

He is always thinking about it. What can he do? How can he become stronger?

He’s always focused on the future.

Amazing, truly amazing.

I had no goals.

I just wanted to live vaguely and be happy somehow.

But from now on, I will be different.

“Karta, let’s go. It’s time to show the results of our training.”

“Yes!”

Until I graduate from the academy, I won’t complain or make excuses, and I will proudly stand as an equal to Weiss-kun.

“Now then, it’s time for the combined third-year… tag battle, start!”

I am Karta Violet.

I will make everyone acknowledge me head-on.
