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 - 58

058 – The First Trial

The scorching sun, white sandy beach, and blue sea.

Under a beach umbrella-like shade, I wore something akin to sunglasses. Next to me, there was something resembling a tropical juice, and on a plate, there was something like watermelon.

Everything seems… is because none of these things exist in this era.

Well, don’t think too deeply about it. Just experience the Noblesse Oblige.

Yes – just like me right now.

“Weiss, should we head over soon? It looks like Lillith has finished her watermelon,” said Cynthia, wearing a black swimsuit with floral lace, as she held something resembling a beach ball.

Cynthia’s buoyant figure is more beautiful than the sea.

“It’s really refreshing and cool, Lord Weiss!”

Lillith in a pink swimsuit with a sarong.

Her moderate curves are quite nice. It’s likely the most universally appealing.

Yeah, I suppose I’ll go into the sea for a bit and take off these sunglasses.

But then…

“Weiss-kun, come to participate in the match. That’s what Milch Sensei said. Cecil-san, you too.”

“Me?… Well, okay.”

Next to arrive was Karta, wearing a school swimsuit and her chest bouncing away.

Is it just me, or has her chest gained another bounce? Is she still developing?

On the other hand, Cecil in a one-piece swimsuit looks mature.

Her slender limbs make her look like an older sister.

Well, they are the same year.

…Wait, a match?

Already… this soon?

So, it’s another alteration.

Ah, in that case, I can’t hold back.

“Understood. Let’s go.”

If Milch Sensei is calling, we should hurry.

Just then, Olin came running over.

Their tops were extremely short, and their belly button was quite noticeable.

Isn’t that even more noticeable than Lillith’s?

No, that can’t be right.

“Um, can I come along too?”

Before I could respond to their question, Cynthia stepped forward.

For some reason, she seems quite spirited.

“You’re Olin, right? Nice to meet you. I am Weiss Fancent’s fiancée, Cynthia Violetta. You’re such a cute, adorable Olin. I am Weiss Fancent’s fiancée, so please remember that.”

“Yes, thank you very much!”

I’m not sure why Cynthia emphasized it twice, but it felt like she was trying to make a point.

But Olin is a boy. Well, I guess that’s not the point.

“Weiss, shall we go?”

Cynthia grabbed my arm. Lillith also touched my arm.

The surrounding guys were looking at me with admiring eyes. There are still plenty of guys without fiancées.

During our time at the Noblesse Academy, it’s said that this school trip is the perfect opportunity to strengthen relationships.

“Hey, do you think I stand a chance, Karta-chan?”

“Hey, you’ll get killed by Weiss.”

“Then, how about Cecil?”

“I heard that if you win in Battle Universe, she’ll go on a date with you.”

“Impossible, right…”

If you listen closely, there’s quite a buzz of excitement.

Well, it’s a big event for the students, after all.

But I feel like I should advise them to worry more about themselves.

Now then, let’s regain our focus.

The match is starting—.

▽

“Weiss, it’s been a while since we could have a serious match, huh?”

“Likewise. But I won’t lose.”

On the sandy beach, right in front of me stood Tanya Sensei.

Surprisingly, she’s in a pure white bikini.

His tightly-toned thighs resembled those of a seasoned warrior.

“Weiss-kun, let’s do our best.”

“Yeah.”

Beside me was Olin, their slender arms giving me some concern, but we’re a team for now.

Behind us were Cynthia and Duke, waiting in reserve.

And next to Milch Sensei were Alan, Shari, and Lillith.

This joint battle is different from the usual. In a way, it’s quite interesting.

“I won’t lose, Weiss.”

“Yeah, bring it on.”

And it was Cecil who blew the whistle.

—Peep—

“Die…”

It doesn’t seem like something a mentor would say at the start of a match, but Milch Sensei leaped high into the air.

In my field of vision, there were two balls, overlapping like a net.

No, that’s not important right now.

Milch Sensei sent the ball soaring high into the air… and then slammed it forcefully.

It was aimed at my face.

The power was terrifying; it was so fast that only in slow motion would it be visible.

Terrifyingly enough, it seemed to be imbued with magic.

The ball, densely covered in power, was like a cannon.

The sound of an explosion accompanied the ball as it approached.

(Strong… no, fast… should I dodge it?)

It’s impossible. There’s no way I can catch it unscathed.

So, I grabbed the muscular body of the guy next to me and switched places.

“Huh? —Gyaaaahhhh!”

The ball hit the tanned face of the guy, whose muscles were as black as coal, and he was blown away.

But Duke quickly got up, giving me some playful remarks.

“Hey, Weiss, you used me as a shield, you jerk!”

His words were barely coherent. The destructive force was overwhelming.

Ignoring the other guy’s comment for now, I turned my attention forward.

“Isn’t infusing the ball with magic cheating?”

“Of course not. This is no ordinary game; it’s a match that involves using magic manipulation.”

I see… I had misunderstood.

I thought it was just a fun activity, but that’s not the case.

It’s a serious match that also serves as practice for imbuing magic into objects.

Without realizing it, at the very beginning, I almost faced a game over situation.

Nevertheless, the match continues.

I’ll make sure to take care of the muscle guy as much as possible.

“Hey, Weiss, I’d be dead if it weren’t for you!”

“Maybe. But thanks to you, I was saved.”

“Huh? I, is that so? Haha, well then, I’ll forgive you.”

Simple guys are easier to handle in moments like these.

But I understand the rules now. No holding back. I’ll win this match too.

“0-20, Milch Sensei’s team is in the lead.”

Cecil, in her swimsuit, calmly stated this as she held a book in one hand.

Her attitude doesn’t show any worry, and no one’s complaining.

Having repeatedly blocked the ball with their face under the scorching sun, the proud stamina was starting to run out.

“Huff, huff… it’s tough… painful… Shari, you’ve done this before, right?”

“No, I haven’t. But it’s not a big deal; I can do this.”

“Lillith, you’re quite skilled.”

“Thank you, Cynthia-san!”

As the person said, Shari is adept at imbuing magic into objects.

It might be due to the power of spirits, but unlike our usual spike, it’s solid and heavy.

Surprisingly, Lillith is skilled at it too.

Honestly, I underestimated this.

This magical ball duel requires a higher level of magical skill than I had imagined to win.

Among them, especially skilled are the two I mentioned earlier.

Alan, me, and Duke are utterly useless.

And what surprised me was—

“Haa!”

“1-20, Olin scores.”

Olin delivered an attack with a feeble voice.

He—no, they—are quite skilled too.

Considering their future, it’s only natural.

“Great job, Olin!”

“Hehe, I did it.”

Come to think of it, the guys are unusually quiet.

Usually, they’d be causing a commotion—But—

“Olin, aren’t you too cute?”

“Yeah, I… like…”

“Don’t say that! Get a grip, don’t go over there! Hey!”

Well, maybe they’re just holding back their excitement.

Let it be.

Continuing on, I kept trying, but I was having trouble getting it right.

In the moment of a spike, infusing magic into my palm and transferring it to the ball.

It’s just that, but it’s difficult.

…Damn.

“Weiss-kun.”

“…What?”

Then, Olin called out to me. The squirrel on top of their head was making little chirping noises.

It feels like Cynthia is watching intently from a distance, but maybe that’s just my imagination.

“Well, I thought… um…”

“Huh?”

“S-Sorry!”

“No, I was just a little irritated. What is it?”

“Um, I think I might be putting too much force into it. Uh, well, not physical strength, but magic! I think infusing means gently shifting the magical power in your palm. So, I think you don’t need strength. It’s similar to when I control Pipis.”

“Gently… huh?”

Now that you mention it, I don’t have such gentle words in my vocabulary.

Sherry and Lilis I can understand, but could Tayan-sensei do something like this too?

No, let’s not doubt my mentor. I could foresee a future where I’d be killed.

And speaking of which, Pipis, that’s the name of the squirrel on their head.

Well, it doesn’t really matter.

“…Should I give it a try?”

And so, after tossing the ball high up and imbuing magic into my palm at the moment of a spike, I released the power just before the impact.

Surprisingly, the magical power in my palm moved quietly and smoothly.

The moment the ball met my palm, I gently slid the magic, and it turned into a tremendous force, propelling it forward.

“Oh, you’re doing well.”

Seeing that, Milch Sensei smiled.

The power was unexpectedly high, but is she just that confident?

“Alan, I leave the rest to you.”

“Huh? W-Wait! Huh, huh! Whaaaat!?”

Just as I thought that, he agilely avoided it.

The ball hit Alan’s face, who was behind Milch Sensei, and he was blown away.

As expected of the protagonist. He seems to be good at comedic timing too.

…Well, more importantly.

If I were to utilize this with a sword, it could lead to incredible results.

“Weiss-kun, you did it!”

Olin then reached out their hand to me.

Their smile was so radiant that I instinctively gave them a high-five.

But what a lovely smile.

I understand the meaning behind why so many guys have fallen for—.

“Weiss, I’m watching you.”

Cynthia’s voice suddenly stopped me.

…Ah, Olin is dangerous.

After that, it seems Duke also grasped the technique with Olin’s advice.

And finally, Alan caught up.

But in the end, Milch Sensei’s merciless spike led to our defeat.

The sun is dazzling, my back is soaked with sweat.

But when I looked ahead, there was the vast blue sea.

“Weiss, want to go swimming together?”

“Yeah, that sounds good.”

It’s a chance to get stronger and a treat for the eyes, all while having fun.

Damn, isn’t this the best thing about school trips?
