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 - 90

Chapter 90: Battle Royale

Strength, that’s a word that’s familiar to everyone at Noblesse and something everyone desires.

In plain terms, no matter how challenging one’s personality may be, strength earns recognition.

It’s the absolute justice in this world.

When the classroom lectures were over, the real deal… arrived.

It seemed like we needed to use our full power and give everything we had since enrolling.

This rumor was known to all underclassmen.

In the original story, the end-of-term exams were of high difficulty, but what you had to do was random.

However, none of them were easy.

Gathering rare flowers on the top of an iceberg, collecting magic stones dropped by monsters in remote areas – all of these tasks could be life-threatening.

One could say it was because it was a game, but in reality, anyone would want to avoid these situations.

And so, we underclassmen were brought to a deserted island, early in the morning, under the control of Noblesse.

Around here, magical clouds were swirling.

The blizzard during the survival exam was still fresh in our memories.

But as we crossed over on the Noblesse Academy’s dedicated ship, the snow stopped abruptly, and the students began to smile.

The temperature was neither hot nor cold, just right. Ironically, considering what could happen from now on.

We, gathered along the coast, had been informed in advance that we would have a test lasting up to seven days.

For me, this was lucky.

The best test.

You could say it was an upgraded version of the previous survival exam.

That’s why the danger level was also high.

Darius stepped forward.

By the way, Milch Sensei, Chloe, and Coco were accompanying us.

“You probably already understand, but it’s a survival test. However, the rules are completely different from before. This time, it’s a seven-day battle royale. Everyone except yourself becomes an enemy. And we’ll determine a single winner.”

At those words, everyone buzzed with excitement. But they all vaguely knew or had heard rumors about it.

It could be said that it was the culmination of all the previous tests.

In the three-day survival test, only monsters were the targets for points.

In the bravery test, the ring was the target.

And this time…

“Students are targets for points. If you make someone lose consciousness, you steal their points. And if you have more points than someone with fewer points than you, you’ll lose a significant amount if you lose to them. If you drop out early, your points will also decrease. So be prepared if a high-point holder loses early.”

Upon hearing that, many of my classmates turned their gaze towards me, Alan, and the high-point holders.

If they defeated us, there would be a significant advantage.

It was remarkably unfair, but that’s what made it the best.

This was undoubtedly suitable for an end-of-term exam.

Until now, there was no need to actively fight. We hunted monsters, found rings, and had specific premises.

But this time was different.

There were magical creatures and animals on the deserted island, but you couldn’t earn points from them.

And it had an even more intriguing element.

“May I ask a question?”

“You may.”

Even Milch Sensei, who usually didn’t entertain questions, was gentle this time. Well, she was a teacher, so that was natural.

“What happens if a winner isn’t decided even after seven days? Will the points not decrease in that case?”

“Fight in silence.”

…Huh?

“I’ll explain that in detail.”

Chloe stepped forward. Her explanations were easier to understand, and it was better to leave it to her rather than risk angering Milch Sensei.

“The details are written on the map I handed out. The uninhabited island is divided into areas. Every two hours, a magic bird will announce and reveal a prohibited area. On the final day, there will be only one area, so there’s no avoiding a fight.”

“What happens if you stay in a prohibited area?”

“…Your points will be completely lost.”

Upon hearing those words, everyone began to stir.

But if you paid attention, it was a manageable situation. Just make sure to check the map thoroughly, and there would be no problem.

This setup is designed to make students fight efficiently. However, the two-hour intervals are quite demanding. If your location becomes a prohibited area, you’ll be forced to move, increasing the likelihood of clashes.

To summarize:

The test takes place on a deserted island for seven days.
Areas are divided into inside and outside, changing every two hours. Staying in a prohibited area results in a countdown and your points dropping to zero, meaning expulsion.
While the details of point changes due to victories and losses are unclear, if high-ranking students lose to lower-ranking ones, they will lose a significant amount of points.
Most likely, there will be a significant shift in points this time. In the original, if you dropped out early, expulsion was inevitable.

I don’t remember how many times I’ve played this. It was unbelievably brutal.

From next spring, we will become intermediate students. The academy intends to determine that now.

At this stage, those with few points have been running away all along. That will result in their downfall.

Winning is essential if you aim for S-Class. But it’s not just that. I can’t say more right now, but there will be a reward for the last person.

I was surprised by Darius’s final words. This was not in the original.

Huh, that’s interesting.

But I’m aiming for S-Class. Winning is a must from the beginning.

After all the explanations, those filled with determination and those trembling with fear split into two groups. If you have few points, you’ll be on edge.

But this is a common story at any school. Those who haven’t produced results so far can’t help but be eliminated.

But it’s also related to the fact that we’ve had a lot of team battles recently. We’ve overcome hardships through disasters and field trips.

Now, everyone becomes the enemy.

Noblesse sure knows how to throw in a tough test at the right time.

Furthermore, we have our pride.

It’s not just about points; it’s a battle for our pride.

“Cynthia, even if I met you, I won’t go easy on you. But don’t lose.”

“Of course, my lord.”

“Weiss, I want to get my revenge!”

“Alright, Lillith, I’m looking forward to it.”

As usual, we were sent randomly through teleportation magic.

With seven days ahead, I won’t be able to move constantly.

Securing food is essential.

I don’t even know how those who have become stronger than the original will act.

It might be a good opportunity to defeat someone I’ve never seriously fought before.

Karta, Cecil, Shari, Duke, Cynthia, Olin, and of course, Alan and Lillith, it doesn’t matter.

No, I’ll win, even if I have to defeat all my classmates.
