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 - 9

009 -The Greatest Enemy

After finishing the daytime training and having a meal, I proceed to train in both ‘Light’ and ‘Dark’ magic.

The magic book that Zebis had brought for me contained various spells. However, advanced magic had complex structures that were difficult to understand, and I am not ready for them yet.

But for beginner-level magic, I can grasp the understanding through my senses.

“Healing Blessing: Light Heal (Small)”

I chant healing magic with my right hand. Originally, this is an attribute-less spell, but I found that combining it with the Light attribute enhances its effect.

And now—here comes my original magic.

“Destruction Impulse: Dark Light (Small)”

I chant dark magic with my left hand. It emits a dim black light, something akin to poison, and curses the target, inflicting damage.

It’s difficult to dispel and has remarkably high efficiency.

And when I bring both hands together—

“Holy Curse: Dark Heal (Medium)”

This is my original magic that combines both Light and Dark attributes. By extending my palm to the ground, everyone within a certain range receives automatic healing. However, for those I perceive as enemies, it continuously inflicts curse damage.

The current range is about the size of a classroom, but as Milch Sensei mentioned, I can expand it further by increasing my total magic capacity.

“Now, next…”

Slowly flipping the pages, I continue to create magic that merges the Light and Dark attributes. Despite feeling exhausted from the daytime training and having little magic left—it’s fun.

In my past life, I was truly lazy, only seeking opportunities that never came.

But now, they have come true. Avoiding destruction is a given. What’s more, I want to protect myself these days.

I want to be acknowledged by Lillith, Milch Sensei, and Zebis.

Furthermore, I am aware that this world is going to face difficulties.

Until then, I want to become stronger.

“Alright, if I combine this and this… can I create ‘Shadow Light’?”

Trying and failing, trying and failing. Over and over again.

After finally learning magic that attacks enemies while simultaneously healing allies, I run out of energy.

“Yaaawn…”

“Are you staying up late, Weiss-sama?”

“Sorry, it’s not appropriate to yawn in this kind of situation.”

A few days later, I attend a party where nobles gather. I’m still unsure about manners, but Lillith, who is sitting next to me, has been teaching me various things. Nonetheless, I feel extremely sleepy from the consecutive training during the day.

I’m mingling with aristocrats who act all grandiose and self-absorbed. Well, considering I was originally Weiss Fancent, it’s unavoidable that I attract similar people.

“Alright, I’ll take some strong liquor to wake myself up!”

“Huh, no, you don’t have to—”

Lillith deftly moves through the crowd.

She’s amazing, just like an assassin…

“Weiss.”

At that moment, I heard a voice from behind me.

I turn around, thinking it might be another troublesome person, and freeze in place.

When did he return?

There he stood, Agate Fancent.

My father.

“F-Father!?”

“It’s been a while. Are you doing well?”

“Y-Yes! In the pink of health!”

“Hmm.”

I was too surprised and answered with incomprehensible excitement.

I was anxious that he might immediately notice that I’m someone else inside. But more than that… I was just scared.

In the original story, he only appears briefly at the end, described as stern and terrifying.

His son, Weiss, is this extremely wicked and heartless.

Just how wicked is he… I can’t even imagine.

“You’ve changed.”

Those words almost stopped my heart.

Did he notice!? In just a few seconds!?

I feel my legs wobble, and I almost drop my glass.

Calm down, Weiss. You can handle this.

“I have changed—”

“You’ve become so much… cuter, and even more handsome! What remarkable growth!”

“…Huh?”

“Your cheeks, your hair, they’re magnificent. Every time I see you, I’m amazed. Ah, I can’t help it, you’re adorable!”

Wait, what? He looked stern, but he’s unexpectedly cheerful?

Could it be… he’s a doting father who adores his son?

“Zebis told me as well that you’re filled with talent in swordsmanship and magic. You’re just like me in that regard. Indeed, you’re amazing!”

When I look closely, people around us are whispering. Well, if I didn’t have the ability to sense magic presence, I wouldn’t have noticed, but I tune my ears to catch their conversation.

“Lord Agate is truly doting on his son.”

“He really loves him, which explains why his personality… is a bit much.”

“As an only son, can’t he be a bit stricter?”

I see… so that’s it.

My father has a stern appearance with sharp eyes, and he seems strict at first glance.

But on closer inspection, he keeps smiling like a fool. This person—without a doubt, he’s the type to dote on his child.

I see, that’s why I act all pompous and evil.

I must be the indulged type.

I’m greatly relieved, but this is also a significant opportunity.

“Father, I have changed. From now on, I will be the eldest son who supports the Fancent family. With that, could you entrust me with more responsibilities in the family business? I have various reforms in mind.”

“What? The family business?”

However, my father’s expression changes.

Oh no, did I go too far—

“What a splendid idea! Just like my son! Impressive, impressive! Alright, I’ll tell Zebis! I’m looking forward to it!”

Well, it wasn’t as easy as I thought. Still, it’s fine.

But he seems like a genuinely good person.

Yet Weiss turned out to be such a cruel guy…

“So, is it settled?”

“Huh? Sorry, I didn’t hear that.”

“Are you embarrassed? Well, I guess it’s natural at your age.”

However, my father smiled meaningfully and then left.

No, I really didn’t hear him, though…

Come to think of it, Lillith is late. She said she would get some drinks, but is it taking her that long?

“Weiss-sama.”

I feel a tap on my shoulder from behind. It’s a woman’s voice.

Finally, she’s back, I turn around, but it wasn’t Lillith standing there.

Her long hair glimmers like gold, and her beautiful blue eyes seem to see through everything.

Her nose is delicate like a work of art, and her lips have a captivating shade.

“Cynthia… Viscountess.”

“What’s the matter? You have a face like you crushed goblins and made soup with them.”

She says vulgar things with a composed expression, yet her voice is as beautiful as playing a musical instrument.

Undoubtedly, she is a beauty by anyone’s standards, adored by all and ranking first among female fans due to her beauty.

If she were to be compared, she would be an angel, and if another comparison were made, she would be an archangel.

But my hands and feet are trembling.

Because she is the viscountess who truly hates me—Weiss Fancent—and becomes the primary trigger for my body to be riddled with holes in the end.

And she is the true heroine of this game, Cynthia Vioretta.

“Trash nobility, how dare you attend the party.”

But seriously, isn’t that a bit too harsh…?
