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 - 89

Chapter 89: End of Term Exams

Noblesse Oblige is a school story.

Just like the school trip, there were, of course, end-of-term exams.

The subjects ranged from magic studies, history, monsterology, martial arts and swordsmanship, to linguistics.

Personally, my favorite is still swordsmanship. In simple terms, it teaches you where to aim precisely, which body parts are the most effective, and even the fighting styles used by past great warriors.

As for magic studies, there’s too much to memorize, so it’s popular but very challenging.

Chloe is usually the one in charge, but if your test scores are bad, your points will drop significantly, and you might even get expelled.

Noblesse doesn’t have a repeat year system. That’s why we study desperately, especially when the end-of-term exams are approaching.

Even Duke, who usually only loads his muscles into his brain, is scratching his head during this period.

Well, actually, everyone in the classroom is feeling the same way.

“Alan, is this spell formation correct?”

“I think this is a folk magic of the Miiya tribe from the west, so it’s different.”

“Are you serious?”

“No, Alan, that’s from the Libito tribe.”

Among them, Shari is achieving high grades, so she’s always keeping an eye on the two of them.

Honestly, they should have been studying regularly.

“Sinthia, what’s this ‘Girua declaration of 100 years ago’ in Andus country?”

“That’s a treaty of war, deciding non-aggression between both parties.”

“I see…”

“Weiss-sama, I think the ‘Uodangan War of Andus’ will be on the test!”

“What kind of fish-like name is that…”

Actually, I’m guilty of this too.

Lately, I’ve been so busy that I’ve neglected my studies.

Failing the test at this point won’t affect my points, but I have a pride in always ranking high.

I don’t want to drop in the rankings now.

Well, there’s also the issue of motivation to memorize history that’s not in the original…

At that moment, Duke, who was scratching his head, stood up and seemed to have a revelation.

He clapped his hands together and exclaimed, “I got it!”

Then Duke approached me with a happy expression.

“Weiss, let’s have a study camp for theoretical subjects! It’ll definitely be better if we do it together with everyone!”

Ah, the muscle guy.

Today, I’ll give him a little praise.

“Sure, sure. Weiss, you’re amazing, genius!”

“Uh, thank you… Eleanor… Senpai.”

Noblesse Academy, Study Room.

Large tables and chairs, and there, the Ultimate Sisters were our teachers.

The students were me, Cynthia, Lillith, Alan, Shari, and Duke.

“It’s different, you should try thinking with your muscles. For example, what if you think of it as the biceps?”

“Oh, I see, so that means 24042 is the correct answer? Sierra… Senpai, you’re amazing!”

And so, the study session that compared the subject to mysterious muscles began.

I knew Sierra had a high IQ, but I didn’t expect Duke to solve problems so easily like that.

Even Shari, who was usually composed, seemed amazed and was probably relieved to be able to focus on Alan.

“Lillith, that’s not right.”

“Oh, I see!”

Cynthia was teaching Lillith about magic pharmacy. Maybe the study camp wasn’t such a bad idea after all.

By the way, there was no overnight stay because of the linguistic issue.

As for why the Ultimate Sisters were here, it was because when we happened to meet them on the street, Cynthia asked them for help.

The Witch Sisters had top-notch grades, and the Noblesse Four Greats weren’t just about strength.

“For the sake of the juniors.”

“Sure.”

Both of them readily agreed. It was surprising how kind they were.

And next to me, Eleanor was with me all the time.

She smelled like perfume and her distracting “tayun” was making it hard for me to focus on the problems.

By the way, she was really good at teaching, and her explanations even flowed smoothly into my unmotivated head.

I was a little nervous about whether Cynthia would scold me, but so far, I was okay.

“Yeah, yeah, Weiss-kun, you’re really smart.”

I wonder if she mistook me for her nephew or something. Her relaxed way of speaking and whispering voice made her a formidable opponent, even for me.

In fact, Eleanor was quite popular in the original story.

Despite her dark attributes, many Noblesse students liked her.

Well, except for when she got angry.

But I was worried.

Eleanor is one thing, but that… Sierra. I wondered if she had any reason to help me like this.

It might be natural for seniors to help juniors, but my anxiety couldn’t be dispelled.

She didn’t even teach me her trump card, and I was feeling nervous.

However, despite these feelings, my studies were going well.

I occasionally changed study partners to avoid getting bored with the same person for too long.

“Weiss, that’s the wrong way around for West and East.”

“Got it.”

Before I knew it, I had become Weiss. Well, that’s fine. I gratefully listened to the advice, and our makeshift study camp for the day came to an end.

As we were leaving, we thanked the seniors and returned to our rooms. Of course, I also thanked Cynthia.

“Thank you, with your help, I think I’ll manage.”

“Hehe, I’m glad. But remember, don’t get too close.”

“Yes.”

“Just kidding.”

Cynthia, saying such things in a cute manner, looked more beautiful than usual.

The next day and the day after that, the study camp continued. The end-of-term test was divided into two parts, and finally, the day of the written test arrived.

“…Impressive.”

When I looked at the test questions, I was surprised. Most of what the Ultimate Sisters had taught us was on the test.

They truly were upperclassmen.

“This is about the biceps.”

However, Duke’s comment was a bit scary. He probably didn’t write that down exactly, did he?

But my worry was unfounded. We all scored impressively, with me leading, followed by Shari, Cecil, Cynthia, and Karta.

“Well done, Weiss.”

“Yeah, this time it’s all thanks to the seniors.”

“It’s the result of Weiss-sama’s hard work!”

Since there was some time before the second half of the test, we discussed giving something in return.

After some back and forth, we settled on…

“Big sister, you’re cute…”

“…Eleanor is cute, but am I…?”

Both of them liked to relax in their rooms, so they were wearing matching pajamas with bear patterns. The pattern was decided mainly due to Shari and Lillith’s strong opinions.

Well, it suited them.

Despite being in matching pajamas, their height difference was quite noticeable.

“Well, thank you. I’ll cherish it.”

“Thank you. I’ll wear it with care.”

With that, the first half came to an end, and only the second half of the test remained.

To be honest, this was the real deal at Noblesse. I had to be more focused than before.

As I was walking down the hallway, Eleanor spotted me and ran over, looking delighted for some reason.

…What was it?

“I’ve been wanting to tell you.”

With flushed red cheeks, or maybe it was because she had run.

“What is it?”

“Thank you so much. Big sister seems to be really enjoying herself lately.”

“Sierra…senpai?”

“Yeah, you see, even though we might be causing a ruckus, we don’t get approached much because we stand out. Well, it’s partly my fault… But Weiss-kun, you’re the only one who comes to talk to big sister without hesitation, and big sister seems really happy about it.”

…Well, in the story, the two of them were indeed unique characters.

It would be unimaginable for them to challenge each other. Well, it was good that she seemed happy about it.

“That’s good to hear. I also want to surpass a formidable opponent.”

“Hehehe, well, you know, I helped you study because I think big sister likes you.”

“…Huh?”

“Well, that’s all there is to it. Thanks!”

With that, Eleanor waved her hand and disappeared.

Likes me… I see, that’s what it is.

“It seems like I’ve become a recognized rival and rival to her. I’ve gotten stronger.”

Satisfied, I let out a smile.

Ciel, someday I’ll defeat you completely.

In the upperclassmen’s dormitory, in the Witch Sisters’ room.

There, two people lounged on their beds wearing matching bear-patterned pajamas. Sierra was using Eleanor’s tayun-tayun as a pillow.

“Big sister, Weiss-kun seems to have scored really high.”

“Hmm. So he did. Well, that’s good, isn’t it? What about the muscles?”

“He scored incredibly high, and apparently, there were suspicions of cheating.”

“Hmm, I see. Well, I guess that can happen.”

They sipped on their juices as usual, and then…

“…Did Weiss say anything? Like, about me?”

“He said he was grateful and that big sister likes him.”

“Hmm… What, what, Eleanor? What do you mean!?”

“Eh, it’s just like I said.”

“Don’t misunderstand me! I mean, it’s not like I like him or anything! I just think he’s a bit strong, cool, and calm, that’s all! Not more than that!”

“Okay.”

Sierra was strong, and because of that, she tended to like stronger opponents. That’s why the snowball fight had been so significant to her.

“…So, Weiss’s reaction?”

“He seemed happy.”

“Huh? So, so.”

Weiss, completely unaware of his complete victory.
