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 - 97.2

097 – Four Way Battle part 2

It was a tremendous speed.

But I didn’t dodge.

The Unbreakable Domain Barrier automatically activated and took the hit.

Neither of us pulled back. We entrusted our defense to magic and focused on attacking.

It was a contest of which blade would reach the other first.

“Weiss!”

“Alan! I will win!”

At that moment, I noticed Shari approaching from behind.

“Duke Billian, disqualified. Points awarded to Shari Elias.”

The announcement played.

Shari! You were supposed to die. Duke is strong, but even he shouldn’t be able to surpass you.

But have you also surpassed the original story?

I didn’t have the luxury to look back, but I could tell.

She wasn’t after Alan; she was aiming for me.

In that case, I had to defeat her quickly.

“Alan, this is the end.”

Breaking through the third defense and reaching the fourth, I poured all my magic into my sword.

Simultaneously, I felt a sword pierce my back.

But the second Unbreakable Domain Barrier activated and protected me.

However, Shari’s attack was stronger than expected. She was probably channeling all her magic into her sword. She knew I wouldn’t be able to reverse it immediately, so she loaded her magic into the tip of the sword on top of her defensive magic.

“I will win too.”

Both Shari and Alan were putting their last ounce of strength into this.

Cracks appeared in my barrier.

At the same time, the prohibited area touched all three of our bodies.

But…

“I will not… lose!”

I, and my sword, broke through Alan’s defense shield and reached his body.

But at that moment, Shari’s blade hit my back.

Magic overflowed from my training suit.

But I knew.

Shari, about you…

I deliberately stopped my attack on Alan and used magic to push her away.

She flew into the prohibited area, seemingly absorbed by it.

In a few more seconds, she would likely lose all her points.

And…

“Alan.”

Shari was intelligent. She noticed and turned her attention to Alan. Simultaneously, her power weakened slightly. At that moment, I reversed and shattered Shari’s sword.

And then, I struck Shari’s heart, ending her.

“Shari Elias, disqualified. Points awarded to Weiss Fancent.”

“Alan, Alan…”

Forced teleportation. Shari’s body faded.

But Shari was reaching out to Alan rather than caring about her own defeat.

And I quickly turned my gaze back to Alan.

But…

What? I was surprised to see an incredible surge of magic coming at me.

Despite being blown away, he mustered his last strength and fired a card magic cannon.

Normally, he would try to return to the area using flight magic.

But without fear of losing all his points, he fought to the very end to defeat me.

“You are truly an interesting person! Full Defense Shield.”

However, that magic wouldn’t reach me.

Without the training with Coco, I might have lost.

My body was enveloped in a strong defense that, combined with careful incantations, was covered in the blessings of darkness and light.

The magic cannon scattered in all directions, up, down, left, and right.

At this rate, Alan would likely lose all his points.

But I was going to win completely.

“Alan, I win.”

As I murmured softly, I fired a card magic cannon aimed at Alan’s heart, piercing through him sharply and narrowly.

“Alan, disqualified. Points awarded to Weiss Fancent.”

At that moment, the prohibited area enveloped my body.

“Battle Royale concluded, Battle Royale concluded, the winner — Weiss Fancent.”

Back on the sandy beach, all the Noblesse junior students were waiting. The first to rush towards me were, of course, Cynthia and Lillith.

“Welcome back, Weiss.”

“Yeah, I’m back.”

“We saw it! You were so cool!”

“…You were watching?”

Behind us, Coco had used projection magic to create holograms that allowed them to watch the battle through the barrier she had previously set up. It should have limited the view to specific locations with pre-imbued incantations.

…Come to think of it, such a thing existed, didn’t it?

“Damn it, Shari! Isn’t blowing me away cheating?”

“It’s a match. Well, I could have won by fighting fairly too.”

I see, so that’s how it was. She probably fired magic after blowing Duke away in exchange for losing all her points. In her right hand, she wore an unfamiliar bracelet. This must be Shari’s ancient magical artifact.

And…

“Weiss, I’ll win next time.”

Walking up from behind, Alan said that with an innocent smile.

This guy gets stronger every time he fights. And he never looks back.

Seriously, how does this guy’s spirit never break?

“That aside, thanks for getting rid of me at the end.”

“Shut up. I just wanted your points.”

Interrupting his words, I averted my gaze from Alan. There’s no need for needless chatter. What I wanted was a complete victory.

“Weiss.”

Then, Milch Sensei welcomed me.

“…You did your best this time.”

“If we had ended it on the first day, it would have been worth a hundred points.”

“Haha, that’s true.”

However, it’s still tough. I sometimes want to complain, “They’re stronger than in the original story!” but such complaints are not allowed.

“But you did well.”

“…Thank you.”

Cecil was also there.

“Congratulations, Fancent-kun.”

“Yeah.”

I wanted to say something, but I held back. I defeated Cecil. There’s no need for unnecessary words.

“I’ll win next time.”

“Yeah, I’m looking forward to it.”

“…For now, how about we have a Battle Universe tonight?”

“Why would that be?”

“Just a feeling.”

“Another time.”

“That’s unfair…”

He pretended to be sad. Maybe he hasn’t experienced losing in a real fight often.

But I won’t let this feeling linger.

Afterwards, Cynthia was chatting with Karta, and Lillith and Olin were with Duke. Of course, other junior students were mingling as well. In Noblesse, bonds deepened through battles. There were no grudges, and everyone fought hard and then laughed together.

That was one of the reasons why the original story was popular.

“It seems the ship is departing soon. Weiss, shall we go?”

Then, Cynthia extended her hand to me. Later, Lillith called out to me.

“Lord Weiss, let’s take it easy in the bath today!”

“I don’t quite understand the connection, but well, I do feel like taking it easy in the bathtub.”

I’ve pushed myself quite a bit this time. Let’s take it easy today.

“Weiss, your reward… I’ll tell you another time!”

“Uh, sure.”

Then Darius said that to me. I had completely forgotten. What was it again? Well, Noblesse’s candy is quite reliable.

After boarding the ship, we set sail shortly after. Lillith said she would bring drinks, so Cynthia and I were left alone.

On the deck, as we watched the deserted island shrinking in the distance, I pondered.

In the original story, winning this exam was extremely difficult. Nevertheless, I managed to clear it.

My wish is not just to avoid disaster. It’s also to protect those who admire me.

“Cynthia, thank you. It’s thanks to you.”

“…What are you talking about?”

She probably knows. Well, she’s doing this to keep me from feeling burdened.

Honestly, she’s too good a fiancée for me.

“I love you, Weiss.”

“I love you too.”
