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 - 87.2

Chapter 87 – Snowball Fight (Part 2)

“This guy… He’s mimicking Cynthia’s ice. Is that cheating? Well, maybe it’s within the rules?”

“Impersonator.”

“I will absolutely win.”

Yeah, that’s right.

Exactly…

“Lillith!”

This is a match. Winning in combat isn’t the goal. Lillith, who was behind me, threw a small snowball at Alan.

Alan did his best to dodge it. I didn’t miss that opportunity.

“Goodbye.”

But just when I thought I had a perfect hit, a humanoid snow figure appeared in front of Alan, shielding him as if commanded.

“Alan!”

Olin was remotely controlling the snow. Then, the snow under my feet began to sink.

This was Shari’s trap.

“Tch.”

“Weiss, it’s over!”

Alan swung his snow sword at me like it was now or never, but I intercepted it.

I wasn’t here to play.

“Dark Rain…”

I raised my hand towards the sky, and the snowfall became charged with magic.

“No, this can’t be…”

“What? We can’t escape!?”

And then… I defeated everyone on the spot.

“Alan, Shari, Olin, disqualified!”

The rest were just small fry.

The upperclassmen had protected the snowman, but as long as Sierra wasn’t there, we couldn’t lose.

“Darn it!”

“Sorry, seniors.”

I deactivated the defense magic and decapitated the snowman.

“Winner, Team Coco!”

So, it was 1-1 now.

We regrouped and discussed the strategy for the final round.

Eleanor and Sierra seemed to have fought evenly.

I wanted to see that, but there was no helping it.

“Now, let’s give it our all, everyone.”

Coco just wanted to say “everyone” for some reason, without giving clear instructions. Did they all know that? Everyone was looking at me.

Why?

“Weiss, can you lead us in the final round, please?”

“…Alright.”

But if Eleanor senpai asked, I couldn’t refuse.

They must have been moving under Cecil’s command, but my last attack had caught them off guard.

But they would surely come prepared next time.

So, let’s think of something interesting.

“Listen up, everyone.”

“Last showdown, last showdown.”

As the magical bird’s announcement echoed, we… charged.

“Ice Snow Powder!”

Cynthia threw snowballs at the enemy team like a machine gun.

Finally, we all attacked together without holding back.

They would surely be surprised. We had to act before they did.

“I see, they thought the same thing. As expected of Cecil, amazing.”

Sierra led everyone, who had gathered in the courtyard.

It seemed they had seen through our plan.

It turned into a melee immediately.

Instead of targeting each other’s snowmen, we wanted a decisive victory.

I see, just as expected from the embodiment of arrogant pride, the Noble students.

“Alan, I’ll leave Eleanor to you. I’ll fight Weiss.”

“Yes!”

And then, as Sierra suggested, Alan charged towards Eleanor.

Interesting. I would have loved to watch, but it seemed that wasn’t an option.

“Let’s settle this, junior.”

“Indeed, senpai.”

Cynthia and Lillith were fighting Duke and Karta.

Amidst the shouting around us, Sierra vanished. But I could see her.

Behind.

I leaped upward with Unnatural Wall to dodge the scythe attack swinging from left to right.

Without any pause, I threw a snowball.

“You’re good, but you’re too naive.”

But she easily avoided such an attack.

It was just to make Cecil move.

“I know.”

Sierra’s voice reached me as she disappeared again.

“Feh!?”

After leaping, I chanted the second Unnatural Wall in the air.

I suppose she thought it would fall slowly. It moved at right angles and slashed with a snow sword.

At such speed, it would crumble, but one good strike would secure victory.

“Wait, that’s a bit too fast!?”

Even Sierra was surprised at this. She went on the defensive.

I felt the snow sword reaching its limit, and I prepared for a powerful blow…

…and killed her.

But Sierra’s reaction was surprising. Her hands glowed, and her speed increased.

Her magic hadn’t been explained in detail in the original work.

And her attack, a moment before impact, shattered my scythe into pieces.

In contrast, my attack hit Sierra’s shoulder. Her high magic resistance meant it didn’t deal much damage.

“W-what is that!?”

The Inevitable Territory Barrier. Thanks to Coco, it consumed very little magic power.

It sensed Sierra’s magic and activated automatically.

And then…

“The match is over, the match is over, Team Coco wins.”

Just before that announcement, I looked around, and everyone was defeated.

Eleanor had destroyed the snowman.

“I won.”

I wished I could have seen how she defeated everyone… Well, this event was far from actual combat.

I’d save the excitement for later.

Turning back, Sierra was brushing off the snow on her shoulder.

Upon closer look, there were tears in her eyes.

Was it that frustrating?

“Are you crying?”

“I’m not.”

“But you are, aren’t you?”

“I’m not.”

No matter how many times I asked, she would probably only say those words.

Well, that was one of Sierra’s charms.

“…Next time, I’ll win.”

But she quietly burned with fighting spirit.

She could hear me, right…

Since I was technically her junior, I pretended not to hear and left the scene.

“Well done, everyone.”

“Everyone, I wanted to win!”

In the end, Coco’s few words and Eleanor’s tayuntayun wrapped things up.

However, as they left, Sierra said…

“Weiss, see you later.”

“Goodbye, Weiss-kun.”

For some reason, she called my name.

I remembered.

Sierra was written to slightly change the names of the opposite sex she liked.

In the original work, Alan was also called “Al” in the end.

…Could it be? No…

“…I see, a change, huh? When she’s annoyed with someone, she changes the name,” I realized and accepted.

By the way, the Milch Team, which lost, was said to have marched into the mountains in the middle of the night. Or not.

Upperclassmen’s dorm, the Witch Sisters’ room.

That night, Sierra had her hair styled in twin tails by Eleanor.

“Hmm hmm hmm~♪ Hmm~”

“You seem unusually happy, big sister.”

“Do I? It’s not like that.”

“Hehe, today was fun, wasn’t it?”

“Well, yeah. It felt like we were fighting for the first time in a while.”

“Why’s that?”

Sierra blushed slightly.

“Just a feeling.”

“Hmm, by the way, do you like Weiss-kun?”

“Eleanor!? W-what are you saying!?”

“But you were calling him ‘Weiss,’ right?”

“I-it’s just because it’s easy to say! W-we don’t need ‘Senpai’ in our lives! Humanity doesn’t need ‘Senpai’!”

“I think it’s necessary… But yeah, ‘Weiss’ is cool. He’s strong.”

“…Well, he’s decent. He moves like he’s not an underclassman.”

“So, you do like him.”

“N-no way!?”
