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 - 84

Chapter 84 – Death Scythe

“I’m sorry. I had some urgent business the other day, so I couldn’t make it…”

Senior Ciel lowered her head in apology.

I had participated in a match recently but ended up standing up.

As a result, there were whispers like “Weiss lost the match but was completely defeated in the competition” going around.

Of course, I planned to eliminate all of them, but I wanted to know why she did such a thing.

By chance, I found the Witch Sisters making a snowman in the courtyard. When I approached them, it turned out that this was the current situation.

“…It can’t be helped.”

I thought for sure that I had been left hanging and made fun of, but it seemed not.

Eleanor wore a subtle expression, with a wry smile. I wondered what it meant.

“Big sis, but in bed…”

“Eleanor, be quiet. This is… my mistake.”

The younger sister seemed about to say something, but the older sister stopped her.

Oh, that’s impressive.

Without offering a detailed explanation, just bowing to a junior like this was no ordinary thing to do.

In the original work, she was quite the mean character associated with Light, but this must be a modification.

I… had doubted her.

“…Well, if that’s the case, then it can’t be helped.”

“In that case, how about we reschedule later? The match will be in 30 minutes. Prepare your weapon and wait. I’ll show you my true strength.”

“Understood. I’m looking forward to it.”

I left the scene.

However, Eleanor and Ciel began tinkering with the snowman again.

Perhaps they were perfectionists.

They wanted to complete it. It seemed to be connected to their strength.

…That’s what I wished for.

Two hours later…

“Hey, Alan, did you see Senior Ciel? She should have been making a snowman here.”

“Huh? I-I don’t know, what’s wrong?”

I confronted Alan, who was flexing and having a snowball fight in the courtyard.

Where the hell did that guy go?

“What’s wrong, Weiss? Are you waiting for her again?”

“Should I tear your muscles apart, Duke?”

“N-No, it’s nothing.”

I couldn’t enter the girls’ dormitory in the upperclassmen’s building.

I searched the cafeteria first, but she wasn’t there.

Damn it, there’s no point in searching further.

“If it’s Senior Ciel, I saw her heading to the Mock Battle B area with Senior Eleanor.”

“Shari, is that true? You weren’t coerced, right?”

“…Since when did you become so paranoid?”

Mock Battle B was a code used within Noblesse Academy.

It referred to a place that resembled a ruined city, and I had used it before.

Today, it should have been off-limits due to the excessive snowfall.

But those two wouldn’t care about that.

“Thanks, Shari.”

“Eh, um, you’re welcome?”

I hurriedly left the scene.

I won’t forgive her anymore…

“Weiss, what’s going on? You seem in a hurry.”

“I wonder what it is? Wow, Duke, you did it, huh!?”

“Hahaha, eat my ultimate snowball!”

Moving to Mock Battle B, where numerous buildings lined up, the rooftop was buried in snow.

You’d fall over right away if you didn’t have snow-equipped shoes.

But I filled my legs with mana and climbed the building walls.

It was the basics of mana movement I had learned in class. From the highest point, using my Observation Dark Eye, I surveyed the area and sensed their mana from behind the building.

They seemed to be throwing small snowballs at each other, moving briskly.

I could easily understand the waves of darkness. One of them was Eleanor; there was no doubt about it. I was on target.

“Eat this, a hundred snowball barrage!”

“Sis, isn’t that a bit of an exaggeration!?”

“Eleanor, competition is all about tricking each other. Hmm.”

Ciel deftly evaded the snowball I threw at her.

I remembered the settings from the original story well.

Ciel was competitive, cunning, crafty, mean, and…

I shouldn’t beat around the bush anymore.

I should just challenge her directly.

“It seems like your business is done, Senior.”

“Hehehe, oh, did I get caught?”

She stuck out her tongue and playfully tapped her head.

Was there a Showa-era character in Noblesse?

No, don’t be fooled…

I should change my approach. I’m Weiss, after all.

“It’s okay, really. I understand that you don’t want to fight me. It seems like you’re afraid.”

“I know you’re strong, and I’m an upperclassman too. I prefer to take it easy in my old age.”

“Sis, you’re still in your teens…”

And then, I silently threw a snowball.

But I aimed it at Eleanor.

“What!?”

I knew it wouldn’t hit her because Ciel would protect her.

I remembered. Eleanor would get angry if Ciel was made fun of, but not in her own case.

And Ciel was the same.

If Eleanor was harmed, she’d get angry…

“I see, you’ve changed your approach, junior.”

“That’s right. But I don’t want to harass you; I just… want you to guide me as a senior.”

“Hehehe, ahahahaha! Alright, I can’t help it.”

Ciel laughed heartily and then changed her expression.

Her eyes were serious.

“Eleanor, don’t get involved.”

“Huh? Are we doing this here? What about our training gear? What if we get injured!?”

“Well, junior, Eleanor isn’t worried about me.”

Ah, I see.

Ciel had accumulated points over three years, rivaling Eva’s.

She was still undefeated even in practice battles.

Eleanor had probably forgotten about worrying for her sister.

But… I would remind her.

“What are the rules?”

“Anything’s fine. We can even say the loser dies.”

“Sis!”

“Kidding, kidding. Okay, how about this? If you manage to land even a single blow on me, you win.”

Then, Ciel conjured the Death Scythe out of nowhere.

It was probably a similar process to how Devi stored her darkness, but there was no trace of magic.

And she did it without incantations.

High school seniors were truly on another level.

“Devi.”

“Devi-vivi!”

I summoned Devi and wielded the Dual Sword of Magic.

“Heh, you have quite a cute companion there. You look just like him.”

“D-Devi!?”

For some reason, Devi blushed and fidgeted.

I won’t be fooled so easily.

Devi, you’ve still got a long way to go.

“But with these rules, it might never end…”

However, Ciel lowered her scythe and placed her hand on her chin.

In other words, it meant that if I couldn’t land a single blow, it would be over.

“In that case, I’ll let you end it with one blow…”

“In that case, I’ll do just that.”

As soon as I said that, Ciel disappeared and in the next moment, she swung her scythe at me.

Even though I wasn’t wearing training gear, she aimed for my neck.

Naturally, I defended with my sword, but Ciel had a wide grin on her face.

“Hehe, it seems this kind of… attack won’t work.”

Ha, interesting.

This was Ciel Witch, one of the top-ranked students among Noblesse upperclassmen and someone who had boasted top-tier strength in the original story.

No need to hold back…
