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 - 99

Chapter 99: A Day in Weiss Fancent’s Life

“Now, for today, how about using Lindoria region’s bath salts…”

In the private bathroom of the Noblesse Academy, there was a tub large enough for three people, though it was narrower than the shared bath. While there wasn’t a conventional water heater, the water drawn in was heated using pre-constructed fire magic.

What makes me happy is that, although rare, there are people in this world who enjoy baths. Bath salts, created by these enthusiasts, are precious indulgences in this world.

Sprinkling the fine powder into the bath, the clear water gradually turned cloudy.

It had a refreshing citrus scent. I dipped in, starting with my feet, and then slowly immersed up to my shoulders. In addition to alleviating muscle and back pain, this world’s baths also helped in restoring magical energy. To put it simply, it was a delightful sensation similar to receiving a massage.

The effects seeped into my body.

“Sigh…”

The pseudo-demons, like creatures, had become active in this world, and there were various eyewitness reports. The second calamity was drawing near, possibly even today.

But unlike the original story, these demons were unfamiliar to me. The vast majority of Noblesse Oblige was shrouded in mystery for me.

But…

“It’s enjoyable, isn’t it?”

I remembered the battles on the deserted island.

Cecil, who had shed her shell, Cynthia, who had used her intelligence to compete for air supremacy, Duke, who had become even stronger than in the original story, Shari, who had far exceeded my expectations, and Alan, who never gave up.

Of course, the others had grown stronger as well.

I find it enjoyable to become stronger day by day. I can’t stop this mix of anxiety and excitement about how much stronger I can become and what the future holds.

However, no matter how much I think about it, the task at hand remains the same.

To become stronger. Overwhelmingly so.

“But maybe I should buy a dozen of this bath salt.”

Well, sometimes a bit of indolence isn’t so bad.

After finishing the daily morning bath, I noticed a letter bird had arrived at the window.

It was a bird resembling an owl, one of the Fancent family’s specially trained messenger birds, a service provided by Zebis.

“Hoo.”

“I get it. I’ll feed you.”

We used this method to communicate periodically. If there was anything I needed to know about the family’s business or the finer details of the world’s affairs, I wanted to hear it.

I asked for information on even the smallest matters, but…

“His Lordship seems to have developed a blister on his right foot…”

Well, I thought this was unnecessary but had requested them to prepare foot care tools.

The subsequent content mentioned that there were fewer villains in Trava Town, and the security had improved compared to before.

Logically, it was a positive development. But I couldn’t shake off my unease.

The pseudo-demons seemed to be a kind of compulsory virus applied only to evil people.

In the original story, after the calamity, demons multiplied in the human world like a thunderstorm, causing the increase of pseudo-demons.

Telling people to be careful of wrongdoers would likely be futile.

I replied to the letter, asking them to continue sending information.

Once that was done, it was time for breakfast.

My rank at Noblesse would soon become B, currently standing at C+ if you get into details. It’s considered an achievement as an underclassman, but for me, it’s already a bit late.

However, there are plenty of advantages.

For example…

— Knock, knock, knock.

If I request it the previous day, the meal is delivered to me at the appropriate time in the morning.

“This fruit is delicious…”

I don’t need to make the bed myself, and they replenish consumables as needed. Moreover, they send flowers on family anniversaries, and if necessary, they can arrange a carriage to the town.

However, most students at Noblesse are nobles. I don’t know if they truly appreciate such services, but I’m satisfied.

After breakfast, there was a day off from classes today.

I conducted my daily magical training in my room.

In essence, it was repetitive basic training.

When performing non-incantation magic, I only needed to draw the runes in my mind. However, I had to physically perform those runes to memorize them.

This was quite similar to studying for exams.

And I was thinking about increasing my elemental abilities in combat.

Using additional attributes haphazardly would only increase magic consumption and bring disadvantages. However, I’ve grown stronger, and in terms of magical power, it should be manageable now.

I can use fire, water, wind, and earth.

Personally, the fire that Milch Sensei uses has the highest firepower. But it has the most significant magic consumption as a drawback.

Water is more manageable in terms of consumption as it uses moisture from the air, but it lacks the power of ice like Cynthia’s.

Wind is not bad. It offers versatility, and, most importantly, it has a good balance between power and consumption.

Finally, there’s earth. It can take advantage of the terrain, but it’s limited to specific situations.

Each has its pros and cons. It’s best to gradually introduce them in practice and research.

Well, I already know which one to try first, though.

After finishing basic magical training, I practiced with a sword in the training room.

There was nothing particularly special about it.

I aimed to make it a natural action, something I could do without thinking.

By midday, I either had lunch with the bento I prepared in advance or ate the daily special in the cafeteria.

After that, it was back to training, and in the late afternoon, I joined the communal bath.

The large bathtub alone was enjoyable.

“The Vai of the Baths.”

“Did everyone wash properly?”

“Let’s go wash again.”

Returning to my room, it was time to study academics. If there was a book I wanted to read, I did it at this time.

This was when I could rest my mind the most, and knowledge seeped in easily.

Today, I learned about the history of the battles between the Gindean and Riaun tribes.

The information gathered from historical documents was significant.

Of course, there was also a lot of irrelevant information, but I had no choice as long as I was at Noblesse.

Dinner was often shared with Cynthia and Lillith. They mentioned that they spent their days similar to me.

“Today, we have extra fried chicken… Sounds good.”

“I’ll have this pasta.”

“I’ll go for curry ramen!”

The peculiar names of the dishes in Noblesse never failed to amuse me.

The cafeteria was always bustling at this time.

Alan and Cecil, as well as the other students, often ate together.

“Sis, still deciding?”

“I’m thinking, wait a little longer. Hmm, the Popor fry looks delicious too…”

Of course, the senior students were there as well.

Just like after the deserted island, they didn’t harbor grudges against each other during exams.

This was perhaps the most surprising thing for me in Noblesse.

After dinner, the cafeteria was lively, and while there were private rooms, this place generally turned into a playground.

Of course, teachers would reprimand them if they showed up, but that was part of the excitement.

“Checkmate.”

“I give up.”

“Hehe, but you’ve become quite strong, Fancent-kun.”

By the way, I still hadn’t won against Cecil in Battle Universe.

And of course, Cynthia was by my side, so it was all good.

Once everything was done, I returned to my room, either going to bed or continuing to read if there was a book in progress. If I wasn’t satisfied with my sword skills or wanted to review the exam content, I went to the training room.

But it’s essential to rest the body, as Olin always emphasized.

Especially next week is “reward” day.

Honestly, I thought that maybe it would have been better not to win, but it would undoubtedly be a plus for me.

Noblesse is full of never-boring events.

And…

“Devi, let’s go to sleep.”

“Devi-devi!”

Lately, when I’m in my room, I summon Devi.

It’s not as a pet, but because as Olin taught, getting used to summoning helps reduce magic consumption during battle.

So, Devi always accompanies Olin. He’s always thinking.

And of course, when I sleep, Devi is with me.

“Devi-devi! Devi-devi!”

“Don’t wag your tail. Turn off the lights silently and come here.”

“Devi!”

“It’s cold today, so come over here.”

“Devi♪”

Well, I don’t mind a bit of fluffiness.
