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 - 305

Chapter 305: Boy Meets Boy

I knew about Chloe from the story itself, but like Cecil, she was the brains type.

She channeled magic through her two whips to control them, fighting with seamless offense and defense.

Its simplicity made it strong, and in the original work, monsters would tangle up just trying to touch her.

Even in the previous disaster, Chloe’s whips had wreaked havoc, but above all, her exceptional magic would be the real trouble.

Whether she’d use movement magic during the exam was anyone’s guess, but one thing was sure: she’d be a handful.

Cold and ruthless, she stuck strictly to the academy’s rules, the stubborn type who wouldn’t bend an inch–or so she seemed.

Yet Chloe had trained Cecil.

It was best to think of her as a different person from the one I knew. That alone made her a major pain.

“I talk to Chloe-sensei a lot.”

Right then, a voice came from beside me.

I had no idea when he’d shown up, but there he was, digging into some tasty-looking omelet rice and smearing it with ketchup: a strikingly handsome beauty–no, it was Olin.

He still had that girly face and voice.

Strangers apparently took him for a girl completely, and he’d had to explain his gender to more than a few after confessions.

But he had his share of female admirers too.

It wasn’t just his looks; his friendly vibe and how he looked out for people probably helped.

Heck–.

“What do you even talk about?”

“Hmm, I like books, so stuff like new releases.”

“…You read books?”

“Yeah! I’m in the library a lot!”

Come to think of it, there’d been rumors about some mysterious beauty haunting the library.

Olin’s hair had grown out now, way past long.

I asked why he didn’t cut it, but he just said something about a vague feeling.

This guy, always so serious? I figured the Noblesse devs had snuck in some laziness on purpose.

As expected, they nailed what players liked–no, never mind.

“So, did you learn anything useful?”

“Chloe-sensei is super smart!”

“Anything else?”

“She speaks so politely!”

“And?”

“She seems to like romance stories more than you’d think.”

That unpublished profile bit from the original work made my eyebrows twitch just a little, but it wasn’t useful for fighting.

Olin was one of Allen’s bunch after all.

“What’s that got to do with–”

“She’s really thoughtful, so maybe we can turn that against her.”

“…What do you mean?”

“She thinks three steps ahead, you know? So if we can read her completely, we might actually get the upper hand.”

…No, Olin was different.

This guy actually thought things through.

Smart folks rarely came at you straight on.

Just like how Neil and Priscilla had zeroed in on Cecil first.

If we’d known back then that she’d be the target, we could’ve handled it better.

If Shari had set a trap, we might’ve wrapped it up easy.

But Chloe would read even that.

That’s why the double-reverse.

For that, we’d need my knowledge, Olin’s insights, and Cecil’s brains.

Good job, Olin–upgrading from reckless charge girl to brains girl.

No, boy…
