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 - 113

Chapter 113 – Obstacle Race

The following seniors’ 2000-meter run was truly impressive, as expected from Noblesse.

In terms of combat power, I rarely feel inferior, but their magical foundation is remarkably high.

Chanting magic or imbuing it in limbs takes time. This is a matter of technique, unrelated to the total amount of magic power.

If there are no stagnations in magic power, it permeates without unnecessary consumption. This means that 100% of power can be exerted.

I thought the sports festival might be just an event, but it’s actually quite educational. It allows me to absorb parts that were unclear in the original, like the school’s defensive magic.

By the way, Eva took first place in flying magic. Sierra also took first place. Eleanor seems to struggle with running and is slow, but speed isn’t her strong suit.

Even so, all the male students were captivated by her, so in a way, she could be considered the overwhelming first place.

“Wow, Eleanor Senpai was amazing! I won’t say what I’m thinking, though.”

“Yeah, no doubt. She’s in first place, the overall first place.”

“I’m a bit anxious about the point changes, but it’s also the best thing.”

This is also the power of the seniors…

“Weiss, how are you feeling?”

“Nothing, Cynthia.”

While feeling a bit of chilliness, the sports festival continues.

There will be changes in points, but basically, if you demonstrate the results of your training and class, you’ll be fine.

And next, it was my turn again.

With fewer participants, it comes around multiple times.

While being cheered on by Cynthia, I step forward.

It’s an obstacle race. However, in Noblesse, of course, ordinary obstacles won’t appear.

Observing tremendous things and empty spaces, I move forward.

“I won’t lose, Weiss.”

“Me neither. Lord Weiss.”

“Hah, do you think you can beat me?”

The ones lined up next to me are Alan and Tula.

I sense something similar about them. They’re probably the type to charge through even with obstacles.

Tula is on the same team, but the points are separate. Even as allies, she’s no different from an enemy.

“Now, let the Noblesse obstacle race begin!”

With a thud, everyone leaps forward.

The fastest was Tula. She must have good reflexes, having spent time practicing swordsmanship.

Running side by side are Alan and me, with two lower-class students behind.

The first obstacle that appeared was a pseudo-magical creature.

A large orc with a completely black figure.

Probably Professor Chloe. I’ve seen her demonstrate summoning magic before.

Tula dealt a single blow with her sword, and Alan and I destroyed it with Flash Time Lapse.

This level of challenge is no problem for us, but the lower-class students behind us are struggling.

Well, it’s probably because of us that the difficulty has increased.

But the inflation of strength is like the essence of a game.

“In the lead is Tula, followed by Weiss and Alan!”

I feel somewhat irritated by the commentator’s voice, but in the end, I just need to win.

Next waiting for us was barrier magic.

I was going to cut it with Flash Time Lapse, but conditions were written on the ground.

“Forced removal is prohibited” with the word “Here”.

In other words, I have to carefully undo the spell.

“… Seriously?”

I, Alan, and Tula all muttered similar things.

But this is also necessary.

There are times when you must not forcefully destroy things. Well, it’s like dealing with a bomb.

I hold my palm against the barrier, feeling a squishy sensation like jelly.

Then I close my eyes and analyze.

The spell is like a bunch of overlapping keys.

I meticulously unlock and solve each one.

The next moment, the barrier in front of me produces a sound like glass breaking, indicating that it’s been dispelled.

“Grrr… I want to cut it…”

“―Good!”

It seems Tula struggled with this, but Alan successfully dispelled it after me.

He might have been weak in this kind of situation, but it seems that he has been honing his skills.

However, I am in the lead.

The final challenge was to obtain a ring tied to a broom high in the sky.

I quickly chanted Unnatural Wall, but Alan flew into the air, imitating Karta’s flight.

That’s cheating…

But interference is allowed in this competition.

Of course, Tula, who noticed this, was the first to set up a trap.

“Haaah!”

Invisible slashes come at us with the force to cut me and Alan in half.

The gym uniform for the sports festival incorporates the same enchantments as the training uniform.

However, since it exposes more, it’s less severe.

In other words, the damage is significant.

Hah, nice. Perfect.

Alan and I almost simultaneously cast defensive shields.

Carefully, yet firmly.

Surprisingly, Tula, who was probably attempting to attack us with invisible slashes, ended up cutting the broom in half.

Tula grabbed the fallen ring and ran happily.

“Hahaha, I did it!”

―Impressive.

“I won’t lose!”

Alan and I descend together.

Flight magic requires excellent skill, but that’s only when flying.

Descending isn’t that difficult.

And just as Tula is about to reach the goal, Alan freezes the ground with Cynthia’s ice.

Tula almost slips.

“Ooooh!?”

“Hah, isn’t that unfair?”

“It’s to win!”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

I double the scale of Duke’s body reinforcement, layer Fast Move on Unnatural Wall, and, surprisingly, cast Magic Rest on Alan.

It might have only a slight effect, but…

“Ku…”

“Hah, see you.”

But surprisingly, Alan shows incredible speed at the end.

He didn’t surpass me, but his movement was unexpected.

…Damn.

But still, I got first place.

“Red team, first place, Weiss Fancent. White team, second place, Alan. Red team, third place, Tula Enitsi.”

“Haa haa… Lord Weiss, you’re too fast!”

“Haa… I lost…”

But the difference wasn’t that big.

If this were to protect someone from an attack, Alan might have been able to move much faster.

The sports festival makes you think about various things.

I need to train more.

“Hah, too bad.”

The next event is jousting, with a rule of anything goes and all three grades combined.

Eleanor will likely participate from the upperclassmen.

I’ve never fought her seriously before.

That corrosive hand probably has top-class attack power.

Glancing up at the scoreboard, the team points were listed.

So far, the red team has a slight advantage, but the difference isn’t that significant.

Let’s aim to get a substantial amount of points here.
