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 - 103

Chapter 103 – Premonition

“It’s fine, come anytime.”

In Duran’s training room, a place that resembled a gym for kendo, Eva held a wooden sword.

Her behavior was quite… casual.

The floor was covered with tatami mats, and the scent of cypress invoked a sense of nostalgia.

“I’m going all out.”

Facing her were the same group as before – Michael and Louis, the ones who had fought me. But that wasn’t all.

Milica, who had fought Cynthia with fire, Isaac, who had fought Duke, and Logan, who had nullified Shari’s magic.

In other words, the full five-member team from back then.

Originally, this match was born out of Eva’s whim. Since I, her junior, had put on a good show when I fought, she expressed her desire to move her body as well, and Michael and the others enthusiastically agreed.

But it would take too long for one-on-one matches, so Eva suggested that they all come at once. Michael and the others had high pride, but they were also aware of Eva’s strength.

While looking frustrated, the five of them took up their wooden swords.

This was the first time I saw Eva fight someone other than me. And she chose swordsmanship. What kind of techniques would she use?

“Let’s begin!”

Under the watchful eyes of Milch Sensei, Sierra, and everyone else, the match started.

Michael charged straight at her. He was much faster than when he had fought me. It seemed like he had been diligently training.

But Eva…

“First one.”

She seemed to evade Michael’s attack, and in the blink of an eye, she delivered a powerful strike to his abdomen with her wooden sword. To everyone’s surprise, Michael didn’t get up; he was unconscious.

Even the normally resilient Michael…?

“Alright, here we go!”

Having witnessed that, Louis and the others launched simultaneous attacks.

I had also fought Eva, but at that time, I didn’t have a sword.

Eva, on the other hand, muttered to herself as she took them on one by one, knocking down each of them with a single blow.

The students of Duran had their eyes wide open, surprised by what they were witnessing.

It wasn’t swordsmanship. It was the overwhelming power and speed of simply infusing her wooden sword with a bit of magic.

Heh, I’d really like to see her stats if there were any.

“Match… over!”

Duran’s referee called out, albeit a bit late. The students of Duran remained silent.

They had felt the insurmountable difference in strength.

It wasn’t a matter of winning or losing.

It was a difference in dimensions.

“That was fun. Everyone was strong.”

Saying that, Eva handed me the wooden sword. She didn’t seem apologetic, but maybe deep down, she was.

I knew she had an honest personality, so she wouldn’t lie.

“Eva-senpai, you’re too strong.”

“That’s not true. You were strong too.”

“Well, well, I’ll praise you!”

“Ah, it makes me happy when Sierra-senpai praises me.”

As we spoke, Sierra seemed a bit out of breath and wiped some sweat from her brow.

When I looked at Milch Sensei, I could sense a bit of magic from her. She must be itching to join in, but as a teacher, she couldn’t.

The most frustrated person here was probably Milch Sensei.

Milch Abista vs. Eva Avery.

The arena would undoubtedly be packed.

“Weiss.”

“Yes?”

Suddenly, Milch Sensei called me. I was startled, and my body twitched.

By the way, Sierra was continuing to fight, having stepped forward.

She’s quite competitive, much like me.

She mentioned that she wasn’t good with swords, but she had already taken down about four people with a sickle.

Duran had a wide range of weapons, after all.

No, to begin with, Sierra was just too strong.

When I turned my gaze back, Tula was standing next to Milch Sensei as usual, exuding a strong samurai vibe.

However, in terms of appearance, she felt like an unparalleled beauty.

No wonder, being a Noble, or should I say Duran, they put a lot of effort into character design.

The god and the developer must have invested quite a lot.

“Weiss, could you have Tula show you around the school?”

“Huh? Show me around?”

I learned that Milch Sensei, as a teacher, and Sierra and Eva, as seniors, had to visit another school for greetings. Being a junior, I wasn’t burdened with that responsibility, so I was tasked with something else.

“Leave it to me. I will guide you, Lord Weiss, with all my sincerity!”

I appreciate it, but this is still a bit troublesome.

Would it have been better to lose the match? No, my pride wouldn’t allow that.

But standing around doing nothing was also meaningless.

“…Well, I’ll leave it to you then.”

“Understood!”

And so, I bid farewell to the most formidable ones.

“Hehe, how do you feel, Weiss? My skills are— Oh, Weiss!? Weiss!?”

I could hear Sierra’s voice, but it didn’t matter.

Then, the two of us walked down the corridor.

It was a strange school, a blend of Japanese and Western styles. In a way, it had a distinct game-like quality.

When I glanced to the side, I saw a garden. Green plants swayed in the breeze, and various colorful petals adorned the flowers. A gentle stream flowed, and a small bridge spanned over a spring.

This was something that Noblesse’s Academy definitely didn’t have. I would love to incorporate something like this in the Fancent estate someday.

“This is a place where the students can relax.”

Saying that, Tula led me to a kind of rest area in one corner of the garden. It had bamboo chairs that seemed to be meant for serving tea, and the sound of gently flowing water.

When I sat down, I unexpectedly felt at ease.

“This is a nice place.”

“Yes! At night, boys and girls often come here to talk in pairs!”

Blushing, Tula suddenly mentioned this, seeming a bit embarrassed. I recalled that her personality was quite earnest.

She probably wanted to convey accurate information to me. But if she found it so embarrassing, she could have refrained.

“I see.”

“Lord Weiss, do you… have someone you cherish?”

“I do.”

Since she asked me on the spot, I answered, but Tula’s expression suddenly changed as if the world had come to an end.

Surprisingly, she had a wide range of facial expressions.

But in a place like this, there aren’t many as beautiful as her.

“I-I see… I suppose… someone as strong as Lord Weiss… It’s just… even though you may have someone… but if you don’t give up… you might see a glimmer of hope…”

Mumbling to herself, Tula started saying something. It made her seem somewhat pitiful, but I wouldn’t betray Cynthia. But it was quite interesting to see this different school, considering that in the original story, we couldn’t move around the academy freely.

I wanted to see more.

“Are you alright?”

“Ah, I-I’m sorry! I-I mean… I apologize!”

“No need to be so formal. We’re in a different school from Noblesse’s Academy. Speaking casually is easier for me too.”

“I see… I understand. I’ll do my best to—”

“That’s better. Thanks… Well, next, let’s go to the cafeteria…”

“Yes.”

I felt a bit sorry for Alan, but Tula probably wouldn’t come to Noblesse’s Academy.

It seemed like she had taken a liking to me, but I told her I had a fiancée.

I might have caused yet another alteration.
