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 - 27

027- Back from Vacation

Several days had passed since the attack on the Fancent estate.

Currently, inside a carriage, Cynthia and Lillith were setting each other’s hair.

The identities of the mysterious men had been exposed by my father.

The leader of the attackers was named Jeff Miano, around 32 years old. He used to be a mage from the small eastern country, Linga, but disappeared after losing in a war.

According to the information I obtained from him personally, he later became a mercenary in the underworld. More or less like a skilled assassin. There were also some tearful stories about having a family.

Well, none of that matters.

The rest of the men were adventurers and soldiers hired by Jeff. Supposedly, they were all skilled.

The one I killed, named Black Dog Blackwolf, was apparently somewhat famous.

It’s funny that he was so underwhelming to fight, but it’s also valuable information that my skills are effective even against skilled opponents.

Jeff had been hired to target nobles and killing them was just part of the job. Apparently, children like me could be sold at high prices.

Now, the real mastermind behind all this is quite troublesome.

I’ll say it again, this world is like a game.

One of the reasons for its popularity is the existence of numerous unrelated side stories. So-called side quests that provide plenty of content and enjoyment.

You can enjoy detours while progressing through the main story, or you can choose to focus solely on the main storyline. That’s what makes it interesting.

However, right now, it’s probably causing some inconvenience.

The mastermind isn’t an individual but an organization, and everyone involved dislikes authority. They are trying to eradicate titles, not just from royal families but also from prominent nobles.

Their name is “Eccority”, which means equality.

Naturally, I’ve cleared many side stories, but I didn’t know about this organization.

Perhaps, my actions have altered the scenario like a butterfly effect.

Nevertheless, my father, who managed to expose everything in such a short time, is truly remarkable.

The torture, in a sense, was impressive, too…

From now on, we will act to annihilate the organization.

I tried to join the action, but my father strongly refused.

He said that he’s scared, that he might lose…

My father’s words struck my heart.

Well, technically, I’m still a student.

So, for now, I decided to stay quiet until there’s a plan in motion.

The reason for losing my ability to use magic is still unclear.

Before that, Jeff apparently committed suicide.

But magic is like technology, every country is constantly trying to surpass each other.

Still, it’s fun to see new storylines unfold that I don’t know about.

I won’t get bored, that’s for sure, Weiss…

While thinking about such things, the carriage stopped.

Cynthia, Lillith, and I got out, and the imposing gate of Noble’s Academy welcomed us.

It wasn’t exactly a long vacation, but for some reason, it felt nostalgic.

At the same time, it felt like home.

“Weiss, let’s go. There’s a magical pharmacology test today,” Cynthia said.

“Ah…”

I had forgotten about it.

…My worst subject.

I don’t want to remember the names of various plants in some unknown mountains.

Well, I guess that’s what being a student is all about.

At that moment, Lillith noticed something.

“Lord Weiss, did you bring the rope?”

“Yeah, I think I’ll be able to use it from now on.”

“Hehe, it feels nostalgic. Let’s use it next time.”

It reminds me of the first time we met…

Well, maybe something like that is nice once in a while.

Funny things are bound to happen when you’re in this academy.

Like facing a test you’re not good at, while I was away, Alan defeated upperclassmen in a battle and earned points, and those who underestimated Karta got expelled.

…And we suddenly have more substitute teachers.

“It’s Milch Abista. From today, I’ll be in charge of combat training for the lowerclassmen. Any questions?”

…Wait, why!?

This wasn’t in the original story.

Admittedly, Milch Sensei is qualified to be an instructor.

So, I asked her to be a teacher.

But still, why!?

I never raise my hand during class, but just this once, I want to straighten my back and extend my right hand.

Why are you here? No, why did you come?

But, of course, I can’t do that. There’s no way I can…

“I have a question.”

My arm, swollen with muscles, stretches out powerfully.

Muscle Duke, from now on your nickname is “Protein”…

“Shut up. Stop with the pointless questions.”

The students are buzzing.

Yeah, I get it. They asked because they wanted to know. It’s weird, right?

Duke looks dumbfounded, shoulders drooping as if to say, “Wait, was I wrong…?”

It’s not your fault.

Just for today, I’m on your side. I won’t say it, but…

Later on, Chloe came and explained.

Apparently, after the previous tag tournament, many upperclassmen requested combat training even outside of class.

As a result, the teachers became busier.

They couldn’t stand being looked down upon by lowerclassmen.

…Whose fault is that?

Alan, maybe. Or it could be Cynthia and the others.

Seriously, it’s nice that they’re enthusiastic, but this kind of change…

Then, Milch Sensei glared at me.

“Weiss, stop daydreaming.”

“N-No, I was just spacing out.”

“I see. Then do some push-ups.”

She seemed happy, but with her expressionless face, only I could tell.

Come to think of it, she seemed happy when she returned from vacation too. Maybe she likes bullying me…

“Hey, Weiss, hurry up.”

“Yes, sir!”

So, I reflexively straightened my back and started doing push-ups in front of everyone.

But my classmates found it amusing or surprising and started whispering to each other.

“Hey, hey, Weiss is actually following orders!”

“And he’s using polite language… Who is this substitute teacher!?”

“He seems dangerous if you anger him… But you know, Weiss using polite language is kinda cute.”

They can say whatever they want.

In the shadows, Karta is looking at me with a smile.

…I’ll put a little tomato in her shoes next time.

But the fun didn’t end there.

“Just thought it’d be just a greeting, but it seems some of you have gotten dull during the vacation. How about all of us go mountain climbing until midnight?”

It’s still 7 o’clock in the morning, and until midnight… that’s 17 hours?

One student laughed.

He must have thought it was a joke.

You know? This person just gouged out someone’s eyes in silence before. You might get your eyes gouged out too, you know?

And finally, everyone realizes when they see Milch Sensei’s expression.

She’s serious.

“Hey, Weiss, you’re slow with those push-ups.”

“I-I’m sorry!”

I guess I’ll be meeting Milch Sensei more often from now on.

I hope I won’t die…

But, to be honest, I’m sincerely happy to spend more time with her.

“Hey, Weiss, how about mountain climbing while doing push-ups?”

“It’s impossible.”

Ah, there it is…

Retracting my previous statement.
