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 - 83

Chapter 83: Defeat

The tournament ended safely, and the usual Noblesse daily life returned.

Thanks to the Witch sisters’ efforts, Noblesse won the championship trophy again.

However, the middle school division unfortunately ended as the runner-up.

The biggest reason was that Eva… didn’t participate.

A few months ago, those demon-like creatures appeared, and we exterminated them.

Since then, sightings of them have been increasing all over the world.

This isn’t a modification. It’s proof that the game is progressing as expected.

Eva seems to find this amusing. She often leaves the academy, saying she’s going to observe.

She’s not on leave—she’s just skipping.

Even if her points decrease, it doesn’t matter to her.

For Eva, Noblesse Academy is just a place to relax.

Nothing more, nothing less.

“It’s cold, Weiss.”

“Yeah, really cold.”

After class, we walked from the room through the courtyard.

Cynthia’s flushed face from the cold looked as beautiful as an angel’s.

Since it was freezing, the students wore capes over their usual pure white Noblesse uniforms.

Female students, like Cynthia now, also wore black tights.

Snow had piled up in the schoolyard.

Obviously, this world is a game—but it’s also real.

Every time the seasons change, emotions are stirred.

I wonder if I’m heading in the right direction.

“Elena, what color should your scarf be this year?”

“Oh, really, big sis!? Umm, umm! Maybe red? Ah, but actually, maybe black?”

Just then, the most talked-about—no, the most popular—sisters in Noblesse walked by.

Since upperclassmen are in a different building, we don’t see them often unless we’re in the cafeteria or the shared training room.

Some of the top students even have their meals delivered to their rooms, and many don’t like being around people, so they don’t show up in crowded places.

Upperclassmen have gold patterns on their shoulders.

Lowerclassmen have one stripe, middle schoolers have two, and they have three.

“Hello. Congratulations on winning the Noblesse Cup.”

Cynthia politely bowed.

There is a senior-junior system here, but it’s not that important at Noblesse.

That’s because the noble society still hasn’t completely disappeared here.

Officially, noble ranks don’t matter—but that’s not really true.

However, Cynthia is always polite, whether to seniors or classmates.

“Hello. Oh, so you’re Ice Cynthia and Weiss.”

“Hi! I know you too!”

It seems like Sierra knows us.

Many seniors aren’t interested in juniors, but apparently, our names are getting around.

“That’s an honor. By the way, the recent tournament was exciting. We don’t often get to see seniors fight.”

“Fufufu, thanks. Especially Elena—she has the same dark attribute as you, so it must have been interesting to watch, right?”

“B-Big sis!? Don’t say it like that!? I barely even remember it…”

There’s a height difference, but looking at them like this, they really do seem like sisters.

If I made fun of her sister in front of Elena, what would happen? Thinking about things like that really proves I’m Weiss.

“Yes, it was… educational.”

The Witch sisters are among the strongest characters in the original story.

The Four Noblesse Heroes aren’t just for show. In a certain event, they’re supposed to fight Alan too.

I’m looking forward to that.

But—

“I think Elena seemed stronger than Sierra.”

“…What do you mean?”

Elena slowly turned her gaze toward me.

There’s no way I’d miss a chance like this.

I wouldn’t go all the way to the upperclassmen’s building just to pick a fight—but if fate brings us together, that’s different.

Meeting the sisters here must mean something.

Then, I might as well take this as a learning experience.

“Weiss, what are you—”

“Well, it’s rare for the younger sister to be stronger than the older one, so I was just curious.”

Cynthia tried to stop me, but I kept going.

I could feel it—an unusual magical power coming from Elena.

“…Are you making fun of my big sis?”

—Come on. Come on. Come on.

But—

“Hey, you—Ow!? Big sis, why did you hit me!?”

“Elena, don’t pick fights so easily. You’re a senior, remember?”

“Fwehh… S-Sorry…”

Sierra stretched her arm as much as she could and smacked Elena on the head.

That seemed to calm her down.

“Is this your usual method of getting stronger?”

Surprisingly, Sierra looked at me with a fearless grin.

So, she figured it out.

I knew she was smart in the original story, but for her to see through me with just one sentence—impressive.

“What do you mean?”

“Dark attribute users are always cunning. Fine—my sister can’t, but I’ll take you on.”

Then, Sierra said something completely unexpected.

Even though she has the light attribute, she wields the Reaper’s Scythe, Death Scythe, with incredible skill and power.

There aren’t many chances to see that up close.

Especially since she’s the type to avoid unnecessary trouble.

—This is perfect.

“Are you sure?”

“It’s a senior’s duty to grant a junior’s wish. We’ll use the underground training room. Meet me there in 30 minutes. I’ll bring my weapon, so wait.”

“Understood. I’ll be looking forward to it.”

“B-Big sis!?”

I grinned as my heart pounded with excitement.

Maybe it was rude to pick a fight, but this was the best outcome.

“Weiss, don’t push yourself too hard.”

“No, I’m actually looking forward to it.”

30 minutes is long, but it’ll pass quickly if I focus my magic.

Sierra is strong. I’ll need to give it my all, as if I were facing Eva.

Ah, it’s been a while since I could go all out.

Underground Training Room

As I finished my preparations and waited, classmates who heard the rumor started gathering.

“Sierra-senpai vs. Weiss! Who’s stronger?”

“It’s gotta be Weiss… No, wait, I have no idea!”

“This is gonna be amazing. Ugh, I can’t wait!”

Behind me, Alan and the others had gathered.

Of course, Cynthia and Lilith were there too.

I will win.

I’ll prove that even a junior can beat a senior.

I will—win.

—Win.

“…Hey, when is she coming? Wait, it’s been an hour?”

“Isn’t it almost dinnertime? Wait, don’t tell me…”

“…Did she… ditch him?”

I kept waiting in the arena.

But Sierra never showed up.

Then, I remembered—

She was smart, cunning, and for someone with the light attribute, surprisingly mean.

In other words—

“Sierra… She’s making me wait just to piss me off.”

Too bad for her—I’m smart too.

I won’t let something like this mess with my mind.

I don’t know what she’s doing, but hurry up and get here, Sierra Witch.

Upperclassmen Dorm, Witch Sisters’ Room

Two girls were lying around in bed, drinking orange berry juice.

Sierra was using Elena’s soft, bouncy chest as a pillow.

“Big sis, when are you going to the match?”

“I’m not going. The tournament is over—why would I fight such a strong guy for no reason?”

“Whaaat!? But… Weiss is waiting for you, isn’t he!?”

“That honest type? Yeah, he’s probably sitting there like a good little puppy. Fufu, this is his punishment for making fun of my Elena.”

“Big sis, you’re awful…”

Sierra Witch vs. Weiss Fancent

Since Sierra didn’t show up, Weiss won by default.

But since it wasn’t an official match, no points were transferred.

However—

“If she attacks after summoning Debi… Yes, this should work.”

Weiss won the match, but lost the mind game.
