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 - 6

006 – Practical Test

“Hey, you brat, what did you just say?”

“It’s not just that you’re big, but is your ear canal clogged with fat?”

Inside the Adventurer’s Guild, at the adjacent tavern, I was picking a fight.

“It seems like you want to die.”

There were three of them, probably twice my size in both physique and height.

I didn’t know their ranks, but judging from how people around them trembled, they were undoubtedly strong.

They carried large axes and hatchets that had likely sucked the blood of many monsters, or perhaps humans.

◇

A few hours earlier.

In the Leaguebelt City of the Fancent territory.

We were riding on the carriage’s bed, swaying back and forth.

“Weiss, you look great in that.”

“Haha, hahaha, hahaha.”

We chuckled as we rocked up and down. However, Milch Sensei seemed the happiest she had been in a while.

Looking at his own body, he was wearing luxurious, resplendent golden armor and carried a dazzling sword at his waist.

He looked every bit like a noble’s son. Without a doubt, he was a noble. And a really snobbish one.

“Lord Weiss, it suits you! You look cool!”

“Lillith, are you praising me…? Are you making fun of me…?”

“I’m praising you!”

While Lillith encouraged me with both hands in a victory pose, Milch Sensei and Lillith were dressed like ordinary adventurers.

Well, that was intentional, though.

“Just make sure it doesn’t look like a death outfit. It would be troublesome for me if we get chased because of it.”

“Aren’t we more concerned about our lives…?”

She was probably saying that seriously. Is this person really worse than me? Shouldn’t Milch Abista have been the villain protagonist instead of me?

“Weiss, it takes guts to direct your killing intent at me.”

“It was a joke. Sorry.”

And so, we arrived at Leaguebelt City.

In games, this is the city where the protagonist arrives for the first time on their adventure.

But it’s probably the worst city.

There are gate guards, but they seem to be having a good time chatting as if they’re saying, “Just come in freely.”

Milch Sensei seemed to understand that and passed through the gate in silence.

Gate guards are said to represent the face of a country. The stricter, the better.

Because that shows how much they’re on guard.

So, well, you can probably guess.

“So, who’s the opponent? Are you just picking a fight randomly?”

“There’s no way it’s like that. I’m thinking of the best opponent. Don’t worry.”

I couldn’t feel relieved at all. I really couldn’t. I couldn’t feel relieved about anything—

“Lord Weiss, let’s fight!”

Lillith was cheering for me, but it seemed she wouldn’t help me.

As soon as we entered the city, we were met with numerous gazes.

To bystanders, it probably looked like a man with two beautiful women.

But in reality, it was a man walking the path of hell and two wicked accomplices watching over him.

“There’s the sister of Nicebody.”

“I like that little girl, she’s my type.”

“A brat swaggering around with beautiful women and nice equipment.”

Watch how you talk, guys. You’re asking to be killed.

And also, regardless of Milch Sensei, I will definitely protect Lillith!

“Milch Sensei, they’re so noisy.”

“Yeah, just ignore them. They’re nothing to worry about.”

Hmm? Didn’t Lillith just emit an incredibly intense killing intent?

Finally, we reached our destination, in front of the Adventurer’s Guild.

There were three massive men going in there.

They seemed incredibly strong. Their gaze alone was enough to be sentenced to death.

I had a bad feeling about this.

“Well, well. Weiss, those guys are the fighting opponents, the Bodan Brothers. Don’t worry, they’re wicked, so you don’t need to hold back.”

“…Alright, should we go back then?”

They tried to dash away from the scene, but Milch Sensei grabbed my head.

“Well, well, you have a sense of humor. I’ll give you a passing grade for that.”

“I’m not joking, I’m serious! And why are they three brothers!? Can’t it be just one brother, please?”

Despite finding it funny, Milch Sensei didn’t even crack a smile. She’s scary.

“But, how are you supposed to pick a fight? Do you just suddenly call them idiots or fools?”

“I just have to apply as an adventurer.”

“…Apply?”

“Yes, but with that appearance, you’ll undoubtedly attract attention. So just say something.”

“Shouldn’t I finish the conversation first?”

“That’s all I had to say. Listen, Weiss, there may be a sequence to things, but on the battlefield, there’s no such thing. The beginning is the most important. You are strong and determined, but you lack practical experience. Build up your courage. Follow the teachings faithfully. Well, I’ll go have a drink.”

Milch Sensei turned around quickly, and Lillith naturally followed her, still cheering for me.

I thought they were on my side, but I feel betrayed.

But at this point, there’s no choice but to go on because it’s too scary to quit.

…I have to brace myself.

“No, let’s go back after all.”

At that moment, I felt like Milch Sensei was looking at me.

▽

When I opened the adventurers’ door, the adventurers in the adjacent tavern turned their gazes toward me.

I clearly looked like a brat, and I was shining with my flashy equipment.

There was no doubt about it; they didn’t look pleased, and their faces were probably arrogant.

The duck carrying a green onion.

The adventurer registration went smoothly.

If anything happened, it was when the receptionist was surprised when she saw my name.

Perhaps because I’m a noble? I was exempted from a lengthy explanation, and the details of the examination would be sent by mail later. Not that I’m planning to participate anyway.

As I finished the conversation and tried to leave, one of the Bodan Brothers with tanned skin tried to trip me up with his foot. No, I noticed the action of him trying to move his leg.

Magic flows within people. It circulates throughout the body like blood, but thanks to my training, I can visualize it.

However, I was getting angrier and angrier. Why am I doing something like this?

This is just venting. But it’s okay to vent on wicked people, right? Probably.

And so, when Butan tried to trip me up, I kicked him with all my might…

“~~~~What the hell, you! What are you doing?”

“Were you trying to pick a fight with your short legs?”

“Hey, brat, what did you just say?”

“It’s not just that you’re big, but is your ear canal clogged with fat?”

I never got into a fight in my previous life. Although I went through intense training, whenever someone raised their voice, my body would flinch in response.

Milch Sensei and Lillith were killing time at the nearby tavern.

I was the only one here now.

“Kid, get outside.”

The Bodan Brothers tried to push me outside forcibly.

As expected, up to this point, but now I have to adapt.

“Are you a noble?”

“You dare get cocky without any servants?”

Apparently, it seems the alley is their target location.

There’s no trace of their magic buildup. They probably don’t intend to hold back.

But I remember, “Follow the teachings faithfully.”

I take a deep breath. Suppressing my pounding heart, just before entering the alley—I cut off Butan’s right arm.

“…What? Gyaaaaaahhhh!!”

He screamed with a delay. At the same time, I swung my sword in the air to wipe off the blood that had splattered on it.

Seizing the initiative— that was what Milch Sensei taught me. Surprisingly, I didn’t feel fear or panic. My mind was clear.

Not only that, I felt…enjoyment.

Ah, Weiss. So, you were here…

“Damn brat!”

The man in front of me shouted, but he was just a decoy.

Silently, a hatchet was swung from behind, but I could see the flow of magic.

I made a half-turn to the right, using centrifugal force to cut off the left arm. Screams and blood spurted out, and the last man’s face twisted in fear.

At that moment, I found myself laughing when I saw them terrified.

They’re just weaklings.
While calmly thinking about such things, I cut off the right arm of the last man.

It took only a few seconds. The scent of blood filled the air, an indescribable excitement, and the men’s screams echoed.

The practical test was over, but I hadn’t thought about what would happen next.

As I wondered what to do, I heard applause.

“Not bad.”

“Amazing, Lord Weiss!”

“…Milch Sensei, and Lillith. Why are you here?”

“If you died, it would be troublesome.”

Ah, they weren’t worried about me…

Then Milch Sensei used my name to call the military police, and they were arrested.

Rape, robbery, murder, bribery, kidnapping, and slave trading.

The Bodan Brothers’ crimes were terrible, and they were able to get away with it by paying bribes.

The corrupt military police who received the bribes had already been arrested due to Milch Sensei’s accusation.

On the way back in the carriage, I finally felt relieved, and reality sank in.

“Am I qualified?”

“Perfect score, I’d like to say, but it’s 70 points.”

“That’s strict.”

“If it were me, I would’ve cut off their arms inside the Adventurer’s Guild before they took me to the alley. Taking the initiative is crucial.”

“…”

It might not be a lie. Milch Sensei might really do something like that.

Unbelievably, that possibility struck at the enemy’s vulnerabilities.

And then, Lillith grabbed my arm with a big smile.

“Hehehe, as expected of Lord Weiss! I’d give you 120 points, no, 200 points!”

“Thank you, Lillith. It makes me happy to hear that.”

That’s how my test ended safely. I passed, at least.

But when I looked closely, both of their bodies… were stained?

“Huh? Both of you, don’t you have something like red blood on you?”

“Your imagination.”

“Yes, it’s just your imagination!”

Later, a report arrived at my home, along with some words I couldn’t quite understand.

The content stated that the adventurer’s exam was waived due to special circumstances.

A word of thanks and a monetary reward were given for helping with the arrest of the Butan brothers.

And then…

“…Did I do something like this?”

In the nearby tavern of the adventurers, over twenty wicked thieves were all arrested at once, and I was credited with that.

It seemed I might have gone a little overboard, as they requested me to moderate my actions and not go completely wordless next time.

…I can’t believe it.
