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 - 56

056 – Underclassmen’s Field Trip

Under the scorching sun, on the white sandy beach, by the blue sea, and then—

“Weiss, aren’t you going swimming?”

“Lord Weiss, shall we swim?”

Flarecheur Cynthia in a black back-lace swimsuit and Lillith in a pink swimsuit with a pareo, both excitedly called out.

Are swimsuits like this even a thing in this era? Well, don’t worry about it.

“Weiss-kun, um, can I join in?”

“Fancent-kun, can you lend me your parasol?”

Yuntun Yuntun Karuta in a school swimsuit, Grey One-Piece with modest exposure, and the stylish Yuntun Cecil.

“… Well, I guess so.”

Even though the summer vacation in Estham has ended, summer still continues.

The Calamity Whip is over.

In other words—it’s time for a well-deserved reward at the beach.

“Cynthia-san, how about this? Does it suit me?”

“Oh, that’s nice. How about mine? It’s popular in the capital.”

Nobles Magic Academy, Weiss Fancent’s private room.

After all the fuss about the Calamity, things have returned to the usual daily life.

The points have significantly increased, and the private room has been upgraded even further.

From a double bed to a queen-size.

From two potted plants to four.

Welcome fruits are placed weekly as well.

Of course, the staff takes care of cleaning the room.

This is what they call “service par excellence.”

Thanks to the points reaching C+, there are better privileges.

Supposedly, even better treatment awaits with a B.

Alan and the others apparently reached C thanks to the championship cup. However, they don’t like private rooms, so they’re sharing a room with Duke.

When people are that close, it makes me wonder.

By the way—

“How much longer are you going to stare at swimsuits? We’re about to head out.”

“I want to keep pondering until the very last moment!”

“That’s right, as a woman, as a lady, it’s only natural.”

Cynthia and Lillith were discussing which swimsuits to pack.

Please think for a moment.

We are nobles. Even though we’re students, do you think such fun events exist in this era?

The answer is no.

However, it’s permissible at Nobles Magic Academy.

Yes, because we are nobles.

“… But finally, huh.”

This is a staple event in any school story.

A field trip led by the underclassmen and their teachers.

The destination is the city of Chuco, famous for its seaside along the southern coast.

Ordinarily, we should just enjoy ourselves.

But this world is both reality and a game.

I was getting myself psyched up.

No doubt there will be students dropping out before this field trip ends.

Oh, I can’t wait.

“Kukukukkahaha!”

“Weiss seems to be having fun. Do you really like field trips that much?”

“It’s because we can spend time together! Lord Weiss is so kind!”

—Chuco Port.

The scent of the sea, the beach shimmering under the summer sun.

“Woah! It’s incredibly beautiful, isn’t it?”

“Indeed, I can smell the sea.”

“Alan, Duke, make sure you don’t get separated.”

“Yes, Mom.”

It seems the usual trio is quite excited.

Well, I guess this is their time.

A few days after the preparations, we boarded a ship and arrived in Chuco.

Underclassmen were disembarking from the ship one after another.

Many classmates I’ve never interacted with before are here too.

Chatting with smiles is all well and good, but I wonder what expressions they’ll have on the last day.

“Weiss, you seem to be having a lot of fun.”

The one who spoke to me was Milch Sensei.

This time, she’s accompanying us along with Darius and Chloe.

Her outfit reveals slightly more skin than usual.

Her upper arms aren’t excessively thin, nor are they too thick.

With a good amount of flesh on display, I might be getting excited too.

“Well, considering what’s ahead (since I know about the event), it’s something to look forward to.”

“I see, you’re a guy too, huh? (since I know we’re going swimming in the sea later)”

“Who knows? Well, I’m a guy too, so maybe (I’m feeling pumped up for the upcoming event).”

“Hmm… I’ll have to knock that rotten attitude out of you (you’re so eager to see swimsuits, you’re not fit to be my disciple).”

“Huh, what do you mean!? (I don’t really get it.)”

With all this banter, our summer began.

“Alright, let’s follow the teachers then!”

I followed behind Darius. It seems we’re finally feeling like students.

As we walked along the coast, we arrived at a slightly open area.

I thought we could walk there on foot, but as expected of Nobles Magic Academy, it’s ridiculously far.

However, despite the sweltering heat, we managed to make it.

Two huge mansions appeared, even though they could be more accurately described as estates. They were massive, no matter how you looked at it.

Adjacent to each other, two separate buildings for the boys and girls.

The exterior looked shabby and made me uneasy, but the interior was clean.

I’ve seen something like this in the original work, but I don’t know the details.

By the way, in this world’s setting, it’s not typical for a large number of students to be accommodated together like this, but that’s just how it is here.

Some things are beyond our control.

The room assignments had already been decided.

We each moved to our respective rooms, with four people sharing one room.

Speaking of the group, I wasn’t thrilled.

“Hey, Weiss! Let’s get along!”

“Weiss, it’s been a while since the last time we were on a team.”

Billian and Alan greeted me.

I’m not fond of sharing a room with them, but I suppose this is also somewhat taken into consideration based on points.

“Don’t touch my shoulder, Duke. You’re demoted to an intern.”

“W-What’s an intern, Alan?”

“Who knows?”

Upon opening the door to the room, it was more spacious than I had imagined.

There were two bunk beds.

I immediately chose the bottom bunk. It’s easier to move around and I can spread out my stuff on the floor.

I’m the strongest, so I have the right to choose first.

“I still think the top bunk is better! You get to see everything from up high!”

“I might go for the top bunk too.”

…Well, they’re just kids.

After that, Duke began to undress, perhaps because he was sweating. But suddenly, he let out a scream that sounded like a girl’s.

“Ugyaa! Who’s there? Wait, a girl!?”

At the end of Duke’s gaze was someone with short, fluffy black hair, big eyes, a small nose, and plump lips.

Just one look at him would make anyone exclaim “cute.”

This person tilted their head.

“Huh? Are you talking about me?”

“W-What’s going on here? This is the boys’ room!”

“Huh, huh!? What’s happening? You know about this, right!?”

It’s no wonder Duke was surprised. This person’s name is Olin Pastel.

They were in a different class until now, but due to a significant change in points, they were newly transferred due to a class change.

With a delicate frame, slender arms, snow-white skin, and a more angelic appearance than anyone else—wasn’t that the concept, if I recall correctly?

“Duke, that’s impolite.”

“Huh, what do you mean? What’s impolite?”

I see, it seems Alan knows about it.

“Olin is… a boy.”

“Huh? O-Oh, a boy!?”

“Yeah, uh-huh.”

That’s right, Olin is a boy. However, that’s how it was written in the setting.

The cutest boy in the history of nobles—’otokonoko.’

“Oh, I’m sorry… I get mistaken for a girl quite often.”

“Well, that’s a shock! I can’t believe it…”

I was also genuinely surprised when I saw it.

In the Nobles character popularity poll, they always held the top spot.

There are various reasons for that.

First of all, they’re simply incredibly cute.

Their translucent white skin, delicate limbs, long eyelashes—seriously, could they really be a boy…?

“Your skin is so perfect…”

“Huh? Do you think so?”

Blushing while receiving a compliment from Alan, Olin’s smile was like that of an angel.

—Wait, what am I saying?

…I don’t have that kind of taste.

Olin has a shy personality and isn’t the type to assert opinions. That’s also part of their feminine charm.

“Um, guys, it’s nice to meet you all again. I hope we get along.”

“Nice to meet you, Olin!”

“Nice to meet you too.”

As Alan and Alan greeted them, Olin realized they were accepted and breathed a sigh of relief.

“Weiss-kun, let’s get along, okay?”

“…Yeah.”

Well, a greeting like that should be sufficient.

And so, the four of us shared the same room.

Although the decorations were nice, there certainly wasn’t anything like a fancy TV.

While the girls’ wing is connected, there’s the teachers’ room in between.

Therefore, going back and forth is impossible.

Well, it might be possible if you lose your life and become a spirit, but there’s probably no one brave enough to do that.

“Alright, now that we’ve exchanged greetings, let’s change into our swimsuits!”

“Huh, already?”

“Well, we’ve got nothing else to do, right? We’re hitting the beach soon anyway!”

Saying that, Darius stripped his upper body, showing off his muscles.

His biceps, latissimus dorsi, and abs—all of them are impressive.

This guy, acting all big with his muscles even though he doesn’t know anything about protein…

I sneakily compared myself, and I’m losing.

…Damn it, even though I’m just a side character.

“Th-That’s amazing, everyone…”

Olin, who had been quiet, spoke shyly.

They’re probably feeling inferior around us.

They lack strength, and their magic skills aren’t that great either. Their academic performance is slightly above average at best.

“Sh-Should I take my clothes off too?”

With that single sentence, we all froze. Even Duke, who usually lets words spill out without thinking, gave off an air of caution.

Well, we are guys after all.

In fact, in the original work, Olin—well, they decimated the brains of numerous guys.

I wouldn’t say destroyed, but it’s thanks to them that so many people had their eyes opened.

As for me, it’s a secret.

“Hehe, maybe I’ll change later.”

Their timid behavior is reminiscent of Karuta.

But that’s not the only reason I think that.

Olin still hasn’t realized their own potential, and those around them haven’t either.

But I know.

The reason Olin was so popular isn’t just their appearance; it’s also their hidden ability.

She, well, he, possesses the highest, no, the ultimate potential among the nobles.

“Duke-kun, that’s amazing! Keep it up!”

“Woah, when Olin’s watching, I feel more motivated doing push-ups! I don’t know why, but woahhh!”

And then, at that moment, a small squirrel-like magical creature appeared on Duke’s back.

Duke let out a surprised yelp and jumped, but the squirrel moved onto Olin’s head.

“W-What’s that thing!?”

“Oh, sorry. It’s my magical beast.”

“A real beast!? Isn’t taming them really difficult?”

“But this one’s small. I’m good at getting along with magical beasts.”

“I see, well, it’s pretty heartwarming!”

“Hehe, right?”

As they spoke pleasantly, I was feeling something different.

Ah, not this again…

Olin is at a stage of growth beyond anyone else.

Despite having a cute face, they’ll become stronger than anyone else in the future.

Because Olin, as a character, holds the title—Noble’s strongest beast tamer.

In the original work’s final stage, Olin controlled not just one, but two ancient dragons stronger than the one Alan and I fought against, and fought against the Demon Lord.

A timid male turning into a dragon rider and confronting the final boss.

Who wouldn’t be excited about that?

“I think I’ll try doing push-ups too. But, I’m not very strong…”

“Great idea! Wait, Olin, don’t take your clothes off, okay!?”

“Eek!?”

…I’m definitely not getting excited. Absolutely not.
