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 - 91

Chapter 91: Deserted Island

Several hours had passed since the teleportation began.

Wearing training clothes after a long time, I felt a surge of determination. The fact that no one had encountered each other yet spoke volumes about how vast this deserted island was.

As for what I was doing, I was sitting in front of the beautiful sea along the coastline. The cliffs nearby made swimming impractical, but I was preparing for fishing.

The reason for this was to secure food.

During the Survival Test, there were no breaks, given its three-day duration. Points obtained from defeating monsters were high, and there were a few other small reasons, but this time was different.

It was an upfront investment of time to conserve energy for the upcoming challenges.

Furthermore, I had already confirmed that I could store food to some extent with Devi’s dark magic.

Meat would be fine, but it took time to process. First, I would catch fish for a few days and then deal with the easy prey lurking around after nightfall.

That was my strategy.

But the biggest miscalculation was…

“I can’t catch anything…”

I lacked talent in fishing.

…But I had another plan in mind for this situation.

Most likely, everyone would be trying to secure food first.

So, I thought I could simply take it from the enemy.

It might be a brutal idea, but there was nothing more efficient.

I named it the “Assault the Neighbor’s Dinner Operation.”

A bit cheesy, but there couldn’t be a more suitable name.

“Hah, I truly am a genius.”

However, at that moment, the fishing line was tugged.

What’s this?

“Ugh, it’s heavy. Could it be a big catch?”

And what I pulled up from the water were worn-out shoes that likely came from the capital.

“…Clean up after yourselves, you idiots.”

I made the trash disappear with dark magic and tried to move away, but a lower-ranked mob from the forest appeared, holding something rabbit-like in its hand.

My stomach growled.

“Vi… Weiss!?”

“Hey, sorry for bothering you.”

I called them “mob,” but they were much stronger than ordinary adventurers.

This lower-ranked mob had control over rare water magic.

“Here!”

The moment it raised its hand, the seawater behind it surged.

At that moment, the fish had been flopping around.

Damn, this guy has fishing talent…

“Water magic—”

“—Die.”

“Lindon Grease, incapacitated. Points awarded to Weiss Fancent.”

After the magic bird’s announcement, the area outside my location was declared a prohibited area.

Seems like where I was sitting was fine.

“But you’re good, little bunny…”

Since it had been considerate enough to bleed it, I prepared a dried tree branch, lit a fire, and enjoyed a delicious meal.

Afterward, announcements of dropouts continued.

But there wasn’t a single high-performing student like Alan or Cynthia among them.

Well, that’s to be expected.

I’ll save the fun for last.

I’m aiming for first place anyway.

For now, I’ll spend the day preparing while defeating food mobs.

The person I found was, to be honest, the last person I wanted to face. Perhaps it was because I felt a strong sense of gratitude.

Nevertheless, I had made up my mind.

I took a deep breath and ran straight toward her. It was only when I got closer that I noticed her reaction.

I could have hidden my magic power and approached slowly, but I didn’t want to launch a surprise attack.

At least, not against her. I wanted to face her head-on, fairly.

Well, I didn’t plan on losing anyway.

She was standing at the center of a clearing in the woods, which indicated she had camped here before.

“Sorry, you happened to be the closest.”

“Don’t worry about it. Somehow, I had a feeling I’d be fighting you.”

“Is that so? Alone… I thought you might team up with someone.”

“I won’t do that. I’m seriously aiming for first place. After all, I’m a student of Noblesse Academy too.”

“I see.”

She had long black hair and glasses, and she didn’t have any weapons. A dagger? Perhaps a concealed weapon?

While she usually focused on magic, she had a sword before.

Honestly, she didn’t excel in combat.

However, her rankings and points were top-notch. But that was primarily in team battles.

She hadn’t had many individual combat tests recently, and she wasn’t particularly strong in that aspect.

Her magic power was also noted as the lowest in the original work.

But she was a genius.

“Cecil… Sorry, but I’ll have you drop out.”

She was likely responsible for repelling the Disaster…

Afterward, I didn’t move.

It wasn’t out of hesitation.

Surprisingly, there was no opening.

She didn’t have a weapon, and there was no sign of her preparing anything.

Perhaps because it was Cecil, it all seemed too suspicious.

But there’s no way there was nothing at all.

However, I had summoned Devi.

I commanded silently.

Whatever happens, destroy everything…

The next moment, I charged.

“Devi!”

From behind Cecil, Devi fired a magical blast.

If she dodged, Cecil would fall.

Even if she cast a defensive spell, I could destroy it with Flash Time-Lapse.

I probably didn’t need to go this far, but giving it my all was proper etiquette.

Devi’s magical blast was fast.

It hit her before my attack. Cecil didn’t seem to notice or make any move.

Noblesse Oblige is a game.

Each character has their own personality and position.

Even if they can’t fight, it won’t necessarily lower Cecil’s evaluation.

I muttered such words in my mind while I saw something astonishing.

I expected Cecil to be hit directly by the magical blast, but she disappeared from the spot.

Immediately after, I sensed hostility from behind and evaded. What came flying from the side of my cheek was a thin, no, too thin, sword tip.

But that sword emitted a considerable amount of magic power.

“Devi…?”

While Devi’s dark magical blast almost hit me, I easily destroyed it with the sword.

With relief, I glanced at Devi, then turned my gaze back to Cecil.

“Is that Construct Magic?”

“Yes, it seems like you’re surprised. I actually wanted to finish it with this, but it was too naive to think that against you.”

As Cecil said, I was surprised.

Construct Magic is a technique to build something from scratch using magic.

Magic exists in the world of imagination. Imagining something complex is quite challenging.

But a rapier is simple. A sword constructed with magic will deal more damage due to the added attributes.

Cynthia’s ice sword is somewhat similar. In her case, she creates it with just her imagination, so no runes are needed.

However, this is something a magic user with an abundance of magic power would do.

With Cecil’s magic power, constructing a rapier alone would lead to magic depletion.

No, I couldn’t feel any magic power coming from her body.

So why such movements?

But…

I kicked the ground, loading speed, strength, and magic onto the sword.

If it’s a sword made of magic, I just need to destroy the rune—.

However, she subtly shifted the position of my sword, avoiding it and clearly understanding my weak points from the start.

It’s not like she prepared for this exam.

“I’m not just here to watch, you know.”

At that moment, the ground shone with a magic circle.

This was Light Magic.

It was a Construct Magic that could be used regardless of attributes, but it required a high level of complexity and understanding.

It was similar to my Healing Blessing, but since I didn’t have dark magic, I couldn’t debuff her.

But Cecil had received a blessing.

However, that wasn’t all. It was an unimaginable speed.

Oh, this is why Noblesse is interesting.

Cecil, I acknowledge you more than anyone else.

Of course, everyone at Noblesse Academy probably feels the same way.

In this moment, I felt your efforts.

“Cecil, you’re amazing.”

“Thank you. Hearing that from you makes all the effort worthwhile.”

That’s why, with respect, I’ll defeat you.
