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 - 108
Chapter 108 – The 3rd (Provisional) Weiss Fancent Discussion at Noblesse Magic Academy
“Now then, I, Lillith Scarlet, will summarize it!”
In a room at Noblesse Magic Academy, sitting around a white, round table were Lillith, Cynthia, Tula, Karta, Olin, Alan, Duke, and Shari.
On the out-of-place whiteboard, it was written, “Approaching the Strength of the Top First-Year Student Weiss Fancent.”
By the way, Weiss was currently soaking in the Noblesse bath. By the way, it was his third time today.
By the way, this was a student-inspired gathering that had been hastily organized after dinner.
The first to speak up was Cynthia.
“Weiss can be tough on himself and others, but at the same time, he has a very gentle side. I find it utterly adorable. I believe his strength comes from the greatness within him, and also, I am his fiancée.”
Emphasizing the last part, Cynthia twirled her hair. Next to her, Tula nodded along with a big smile.
Although their first encounter wasn’t pleasant, the two had already become quite friendly, partly thanks to their secret combat in the underground training room, unknown to Weiss.
“U-um, can I speak?”
Karta timidly raised her hand. Her usual magic wand was leaning against the back wall, which probably didn’t need any explanation.
“W-while I also believe that, maybe the reason for his strength is his dedication in everything he does. I mean, I think everyone does the same, but it feels like Weiss has some great goals in mind… S-sorry if that’s vague.”
“I agree with Karta. Even during the Battle Universe, he never holds back. Not in his academic studies, nor in exams. When we talk, he looks straight into my eyes without averting his gaze,” Cecil added, leaving some implications behind.
“Well, I think it’s his biceps. Training one’s body means being able to continue the self-torture, you know? I’m pushing the muscle theory,” Duke said something incomprehensible, and then Alan followed…
“He’s undoubtedly strong, but I feel like, as Karta said, he has goals that we don’t know about. Of course, everyone here wants to be at the top at Noblesse, but I feel like Weiss is looking beyond that.”
“I agree with Alan. When he helped me during the exams, I could sense an intense determination from Weiss. A strong resolve not to lose,” Shari added, and everyone nodded in agreement.
Then, Tula, who had been nodding all along, raised her hand. By the way, she was still wearing her hakama, and it seemed it would take a little longer for her uniform to arrive. This information probably wasn’t necessary.
“I’m still new here, so I’m not entirely sure, but when we faced each other at Duran, I felt a very refined magical power from Lord Weiss. However, there was a sense of incongruity, perhaps between darkness and light. Am I the only one who sensed the different sides? It feels like it’s somehow related.”
“Oh, when I’m with him, he always shows a duality,” Cynthia’s words made the hearts of several girls in the room beat faster.
In response, Cecil, pushing up her glasses, added, “…Indeed, when I’m with him, Weiss seems to be overflowing with smiles more than usual. Maybe that’s connected somehow.”
“And when we’re practicing flight magic, I feel like he shows a side that he doesn’t show to others,” Shari chimed in.
Cynthia’s cheeks went up by a millimeter, then two, then three.
Duke pondered, “Hmm, I wonder if even muscles have duality,” in his mind.
“Um, it feels like the conversation is drifting off, so let me summarize!” Lillith, who was the most perceptive, called out loudly and began writing on the board.
1. Weiss-sama is strong.
2. Does Weiss-sama have a goal?
3. Weiss-sama has duality.
4. Weiss-sama has his beloved fiancée, Cynthia-sama.
After writing the last point, Lillith winked at Cynthia, whose cheeks gradually returned to normal.
Lillith continued, “I also feel the same, that there’s definitely a strong determination emanating from Weiss-sama. It’s certain that he has a goal. However, it might not be good to delve too deep when he hasn’t spoken about it himself…”
The moment silenced everyone.
Surprisingly, it was Karta who broke the silence.
“…How about asking the person directly? I understand what Lillith is saying, but if there’s something we can do to help, I’d like to know.”
Her words didn’t carry the usual timidness. Cecil agreed with her.
“That might be a good idea. Of course, if Cynthia-san is okay with it.”
“I’m with Karta’s opinion. Rather than beating around the bush, it might be quicker to ask him directly.”
“I agree too! Understanding one’s heart is important even in battle!”
“I think that’s a good idea. What do you think, Alan?”
“Yeah, I want to be of help to Weiss too.”
All eyes in the room turned toward Cynthia.
“…Alright. As his fiancée, I’ll ask.”
However, Duke muttered, “I think it’s because of his muscles,” to Shari, almost inaudibly, and got his foot stepped on in response.
—
A few dozen minutes later, Weiss, fresh from the bath, opened the door. But it turned out to be quite a scene.
“Why are you saying it’s about muscles?”
“You must be wrong!”
“Could you two please not argue!?”
Duke and Shari were arguing, while Alan desperately tried to stop them.
“Um, Tula-san, wh-what should I do? S-sorry?”
“W-where are you going? It’s… ticklish there! No, stop!”
Tula had looked at Pippin with too much interest, and in response, Pippin dove into her hakama, perhaps having some thoughts of its own. It seemed stuck and thrashed around inside. By the way, Tula’s cheeks were red, and her body twitched.
“Uh, where are you going?”
“At that speed, Karta, you might never catch up. We have to surround it from the opposite direction.”
Karta was desperately trying to catch the wand that was flying around in the air.
Everyone was in a commotion, and then, while everyone was distracted, the wand Duke had left behind came into contact with his back, unintentionally triggering flight magic.
Cecil, in a calm manner, predicted what was about to happen and how to handle it.
Lillith was trying to hide her entire body, covering what was written on the whiteboard because, for some reason, the last comment had been, “Does Weiss like tickling?” Lillith had added it in the same student spirit as the rest.
“Welcome back, Weiss-sama!”
“…What’s going on here?”
Cynthia, the only one who remained composed, approached Weiss.
“Weiss, welcome back. Was the bath nice?”
“Yeah?”
Huh? What’s going on? ‘Weiss likes tickling…’ Just as Weiss was about to utter these words, Cynthia interrupted him, staring at him with determined eyes.
“Weiss, I have something to ask.”
“What is it?”
But at that moment, Cynthia began to feel anxious for some reason. She worried that maybe Weiss wasn’t saying something he should, and that he would tell her eventually. So, she thought maybe she should wait.
“What’s wrong, Cynthia?”
“…Do you love me?”
“Huh? Why are you asking out of nowhere?”
“Please tell me.”
“…Yeah, of course. I love you.”
“Hehehe, that’s all I needed to hear.”
Even if he had some goal or purpose, it didn’t matter. Cynthia had already decided to follow him no matter what.
On that day, Weiss felt a bit sad, thinking that everyone seemed to be having a good time without him. He wondered if they had forgotten all about him and were eating sweets and fruit before he came. He wanted to ask, but couldn’t.
Nevertheless, he felt happy to see that everyone, who he had come to know through the original story, was getting along well.
No matter how much he prioritized himself for the sake of averting disaster, it wasn’t good to always put himself first. But just a little, he felt a sentimental mood and wished that they would think about him a bit.
