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 - 21

021 – Tag Team Tournament

The tag team battle was like a showcase for the lower-level students, where they could face “senior” and “intermediate” students for the first time.

However, in this school year, the first and second-year seniors were not to be underestimated.

Those who could survive the tough point-based battles and enjoy them were the majority.

It was a so-called losing event that excited the thought, “Are the seniors really this strong?”

It was common to have easy matches in the beginning of the game, but I wasn’t going to accept that.

I’ll break that boring scenario.

“Weiss-kun, do we need to hurry? Everyone seems to have started moving already…”

“Leave the mine clearing to the small fry.”

Karta and I were looking down from a high cliff.

This was Galial Mountain, not far from the Noble’s Academy.

Below, there was a deep forest where we couldn’t even see their forms, let alone hear their voices.

By the way, everyone was sent flying by Chloe’s magic, so I had no idea who was where.

Except for me.

When I activated my Observation Eye Dark, I could see the figures of the people in the forest as round dots.

It wasn’t completely accurate, but for familiar faces, I could tell right away.

There were unique features in magic power, just like body odor.

The ones running in the lead would be Lillith and Cynthia.

They might be full of spirit, but the seniors should give them a hard time.

A little behind were Alan and Shari, and Duke’s partner… hm, interesting.

Though it was a three-year deathmatch, there were predetermined areas for each grade to fly to.

This made it easier to avoid a three-way deadlock.

Besides, the seniors wouldn’t start fighting each other from the beginning.

While we would get fewer points for defeating them, every little bit adds up.

By the way, it’s the same for us. Even if we defeat other lower-level students, we won’t get many points.

That’s why a sense of camaraderie naturally arises. Let’s all crush the seniors together.

“Lower-level student 31, Aerial, incapacitated, incapacitated.”

At that moment, the magic bird let out a cry and began to turn in circles.

It was the signal that the party had begun.

“Fast…”

Karta tightly gripped a staff about the same height as her.

In magic incantations, a staff wasn’t always necessary.

Milch Sensei didn’t have one, and although Cynthia probably had one, I had never seen her use it.

However, with flight magic or delicate magic like hers, accuracy improved significantly.

But there was a considerable drawback of losing the use of your hands.

Either because she abandoned close combat for firepower specialization or because she disliked getting close like Karta, most staff-wielders were one of these two types.

Well, she’s different now, though.

“Let’s go soon. The plan is as I told you. Is that alright?”

“Of course, because I’ve decided to do it.”

Before I knew it, my cheeks loosened.

Was it because I was happy to see the growth of the timid girl, or did I see a reflection of myself in her? I didn’t know.

In the next moment, we entrusted ourselves to gravity and jumped off the cliff without any hesitation.

The scenery changed rapidly.

The sound of the wind echoed in my ears.

The wind pressure was tremendous. Without increasing wind resistance with magic, it would be impossible to keep my eyes open.

In the end, I couldn’t master flight magic like Karta.

I’m still gliding more than flying.

Even so, she praised it as a fearsome talent.

Flying high in the sky to fight is ideal, but even Karta’s magic would run out quickly if she did that.

Flying continuously was the same as constantly using magic power.

What I was looking for was just a small nuance that could throw off enemies.

However, what I didn’t expect was how enjoyable the sky could be…

▽

“Lower-level student 27, Vivid, incapacitated, incapacitated.”

Galial Mountain, the deepest part of the forest.

“Haha, lower-level students have it easy. They can’t even see through simple traps, but they act all bold.”

“The seniors won’t move for a while, so let’s take it easy. By the way, there was a rumor about an amazing guy among the lower-level students, wasn’t there? Vees? Vice?”

“They say that every year, but there’s never anyone remarkable. It’s just the age when they want to call themselves fascinating or heroes.”

“Yeah, that’s true. Hey, where did Liddy go?”

“Intermediate student 10, Liddy, incapacitated, incapacitated.”

“…What? Where the hell did you come from?”

“From the sky.”

“What!?! Damn it, don’t mess around!”

Wearing navy-blue training uniforms, they were adorned with stars earned for outstanding achievements.

Even when they saw me, a lower-level student, they didn’t let their guard down. On the contrary, they filled their whole body with magic power.

As expected of the intermediate students of the Noble’s Academy, their magic power was unclouded and sophisticated.

Though they hid it well, their attribute was probably fire.

That’s right. Milch Sensei, I’m still following your teachings properly.

“Second person.”

Taking shallow breaths, I approached head-on.

Seeing this, the caution of the seniors… loosened a bit.

They probably thought it was just an honest and boar-like lower-level student flying over by chance.

But I jumped a little before reaching them.

Then, in midair, I moved in a bouncing manner to confound my opponent.

“W-What are you?! Damn it, damn it!”

Panicking, the senior unleashed a flame magic without an incantation.

It was small, but dense, and it would be dangerous if it hit me.

Well, if it hit.

I wanted to cut his head off right then and there, but I didn’t want to be expelled.

With a training wooden sword, I struck him down, and a certain amount of magic was released, causing him to faint.

I couldn’t completely master flight magic like Karta, but I learned a new technique instead.

A transparent wall that mixed darkness, light, and non-attribute magic.

It could only maintain its shape for a few seconds, but that was enough.

For me now, the sky was no different from the ground.

That said, it wasn’t always available since I had to create it at the moment of a kick.

And since it was acting against gravity, it consumed more magic as I got further from the ground.

At the peak.
At that moment, perhaps because it was my first battle or because I was excited to demonstrate a new technique, I noticed the approaching presence from behind a little late.

I could defend with a permanent defense barrier, but it would consume a lot of magic, putting me at a disadvantage.

Just as I realized that magic was about to be released from behind, “Intermediate student 17, Mihit, incapacitated, incapacitated.”

It wasn’t me who fell, but him.

“That’s a relief. Weiss-kun is just human after all. Don’t get careless just because you defeated one person.”

“Haha, I’m starting to say that, aren’t I?”

“I’m not a coward anymore.”

It was Karta who saved me. I intended to leave her in a support role, but it seemed she didn’t plan on doing that.

No cheap tricks of teaming up with other lower-level students to collect points bit by bit.

My strategy was to defeat the upper-level students and get a lot of points from unexpected positions.

That’s why, with the flight magic Karta taught me, I flew to where the upper-level students were…

“Let’s go, Karta. We’ll get plenty of points from the careless seniors.”

“Got it!”
