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 - 65

065 – Olin Pastel

“Olin, you’re really a cute kid.”

From a young age, I, as a boy, have often been seen as a girl.

Mom and Dad apparently preferred a girl over a boy.

So, whenever I went out, I had to tie my hair or braid it, and cutting my hair was out of the question.

We lived in a fairly wealthy house, able to live without any hardships.

But I didn’t feel truly free.

My parents seemed pleased when I was called cute, and they always looked happy.

But I’m a boy. I wanted to do more manly things.

I had always thought that.

Living in a remote mansion, and being a nobility, we couldn’t go to the capital very often.

I don’t dislike studying, but I don’t like sitting still all the time.

So, sometimes, in the forbidden woods, I would play with monsters.

“Hehe, good boy.”

Monsters are said to be bad, but that’s not true.

Of course, their essence is to harm humans, but that’s not their true nature.

By connecting with them, you can become friends with them.

I learned about taming much later during my magic training.

“Olin-chan… you’re cute again today.”

“Kyahaha, that’s funny.”

Being girly often made me a target of bullying.

I tried using “I” instead of “me” to sound more masculine, but Mom told me not to use impolite language.

But even though I can’t say “I,” eventually I became “me.”

“Noblesse Magic Academy…”

Sometime after that, I forgot when a magic teacher told me about the academy.

Basically, as a nobility, my life was predetermined by the hierarchical school system if I didn’t take any action.

I wanted to resist, so I took the entrance test.

The test was tough. I thought I was pretty good at studying, but there were a lot of people way better than me.

But surprisingly, there wasn’t anyone else besides me who could command monsters.

The magic teacher always said, “It’s an incredible talent.”

I thought it was just a lie to cheer me up, but it seems it was true.

Thanks to that, I passed the entrance exam, and my long-awaited life at the academy away from home began.

Conversations with people for the first time, understanding personal space—I tried harder than ever.

But still, they called me a girl.

They often say I’m acting cute, but I don’t see myself that way.

And at that time, I found something incredibly manly…

—Weiss Fancent.

Top of the lower class, a notorious noble; no one doesn’t know him.

I actually saw him, but he showed no mercy to his classmates.

But truly… he was cool.

To be in the same class as him, I had to earn more points.

It wasn’t enough to just work hard to become a special student.

But I want to catch up to him.

One day, after finishing my studies, I decided to go to the forest alone.

The same 【Subspecies-Filled Forest】 used in the survival test.

After Weiss-kun and Allen-kun defeated the dragon, no one approached it again.

But for me, it was the perfect training ground.

Taming requires several steps. Understanding the monster’s species, constructing runes, manipulating mana—doing all of that within a time limit.

If I fail, I can’t tame the monster again.

That’s why this forest is perfect.

With well over a hundred types of monsters, all hungry.

“Gigigigiwoof?”

“Come at me. I’ll command all of you.”

I’ve almost lost my life a few times.

Every time, I remembered Weiss-kun.

Overpowering without resorting to flattery, just pure strength.

Truly… he was cool.

And I managed to become a special student.

Perhaps my achievements during the Cataclysm were recognized.

Ah… it’s good that I worked hard.

Surprisingly, only Chloe Sensei seemed to know about me.

“Please try not to do anything too reckless.”

“Eh, ah, uh, yes…”

She must have known and let it slide. She’s a very kind teacher.

During the school trip, when I talked to Weiss-kun for the first time and then found out we’d be roommates, I felt strangely nervous.

Duke-kun and Allen-kun, too—they act a bit strange around me, but they treat me normally.

And during the ball game, when I taught Weiss-kun how to transfer mana and he said, “Thanks, Olin,” at the end, I was incredibly happy.

Being acknowledged by someone I’ve always looked up to.

For the next Undead Monster exam, I swore I’d come in first.

“You showed me something good, Olin.”

But when I was about to be done, the one who came to rescue me was… Weiss-kun.

I was so happy to be praised for my taming ability.

Even when I’m reckless, he follows me, and he even commands a demon.

It’s unbelievable, I understand just how amazing this is.

Ah, Weiss-kun, I want to be like you.

Even if they call me a girl, I still want to become strong.

During the Cataclysm, I couldn’t tame incredibly powerful monsters.

But it’s different.

I will become even stronger.

Eventually, I’ll make that dragon obey me.

My name is Olin Pastel.

I’m going to become the world’s greatest summoner tamer, a man.
