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 - 126.2

Chapter 126 – Interlude, New Talents

The trigger was the Sword Demon Cup, a competition among students.

Accompanied by my parents, we had special seats prepared, eagerly awaiting the start of the matches.

I’ve seen adventurer tournaments several times before, but I’ve never found them particularly interesting.

Well, mostly because everyone is weaker than me.

But now, someone is holding onto my arm, causing my body to sway.

“Berk…, how about we go shopping in the royal capital after this? It’s good, right?”

“If I feel like it. Meril…”

“A new necklace from the Lilia region has arrived. It’s incredibly cute!”

“Yes, yes, if I feel like it.”

“And then, and then—”

Meril is my childhood friend, always together because our parents get along well.

She’s slender, but her height is about the same as mine (not that tall, not that short). Eventually, she’ll surpass me because my father is big.

Meril’s limbs are thin, with no physical strength. But she has magical talent, more frustratingly than me.

Graduating at the top of the Rudria Noble Kindergarten, thanks to that, I was second. I resent that.

The beautiful purple color is always lovely to look at.

I have short golden hair, nothing particularly rare.

While thinking about such things, I was about to absentmindedly watch the tournament as usual.

But I was taken aback.

— Someone stronger than me.

“The winner, Weiss Fancent. Noblesse Magic Academy!”

Although our ages shouldn’t be that different, he looked incredibly massive.

And—.

“The winner, Cynthia Violetta. Noblesse Magic Academy!”

The others were also… amazing.

Overwhelming. What kind of ice magic is that?

“…Amazing.”

Then, next to me, Meril muttered softly.

It’s been a while since I saw her surprised face.

She’s not the type to act superior, but it’s because she has no interest in others. Well, I’m the same.

No, more importantly…

Amazing, too amazing.

Why can they move like that?

Huh, already over there? Wow, what’s that?

…Is the attribute darkness?

Amazing. I see.

Maybe… They can see things late.

What was that just now? A combination with light?

I see, automatic defense. Impossible for me since I have no attribute.

Wow. They must be training every day.

Ugh. Could they be incorporating spell disruption into their technique?

That person is amazing too.

Is Alan a commoner?

…The power to mimic techniques… maybe?

—Interesting.

“Dad.”

“What’s up, Berk?”

“I think I’ll go to Noblesse after all. I’ll apply for a recommendation.”

“Oh! I see, Berk, your pride is at stake!”

—Looking forward to it.

“…Amazing.”

Beside me, Meril also had a smiling face.

A bit cuter than usual.

Carried in a carriage, I was dressed in a white uniform.

Cool. Yeah, I wonder if that person is wearing it too.

Or rather—.

“Meril, it doesn’t suit you.”

“Eh? Really? Isn’t it incredibly cute? Look, my thighs are beautiful, right?”

“Did you gain some weight?”

“It’s muscles! You don’t understand a maiden’s feelings.”

“Yes, yes. By the way, Meril, weren’t you planning to become a court mage in the royal capital?”

“I can become one anytime, so it’s fine.”

“Yes, yes.”

Meril was also dressed in the same white uniform as me.

It’s frustrating, but… it suits her.

I’m a bit anxious.

Or rather, she doesn’t have to follow me all the way.

She doesn’t need to go to school; her magical skills are already well-known.

She’s even received direct recruitment from the court mages.

…But, it’s not bad.

Going to school together with Meril will be fun.

“Berk, what’s wrong? Are you thinking about something?”

“I’m planning to beat everyone up from now on.”

“Hehehe, looking forward to it.”

“Yeah, Meril. This time, I’ll definitely take first place. —I won’t lose to you.”

“I will too. If I’m going to do it, I’ll do it seriously.”

Her eyes and voice were as serious as they could be.

Meril is strong and amazing at times like these.

I need to stay focused.

As we got off the carriage, a grand gate welcomed us.

From today, we’ll be living in the dormitory.

I hope it won’t be inconvenient. Well, it should be fine.

At that moment, I noticed someone walking beside me and involuntarily widened my eyes.

“Weiss, the cherry blossoms are beautiful.”

“Yeah, this season is nice.”

“It suits you, Weiss-sama!”

The woman I saw at the tournament, Cynthia, is here too. And next to her is, if I remember correctly, Lillith.

…Incredible, they’re real.

I can’t let this chance slip away—

“Senpai!! Wait!”

Calling out from behind, a admirer of mine turned senior, looks back.

“Uh, um, I watched your match at the tournament, and it was so cool! So, I wanted to come to Noblesse! That’s why!”

“Huh?”

“So, it’s amazing. Seriously! I want to be like Weiss… Senpai!”

“Don’t talk to me.”

“Huh?”

Is he… getting colder?

Wait, is something scary?

No, it’s probably just encouragement.

You underclassmen… still have a long way to go as Noblesse. The path we’ve walked is tough and difficult, so do your best. Be quiet and move forward.

“That’s right! I understand!”

“What are you saying—”

Just as Weiss senpai was about to respond to me, suddenly— Meril shouted from the side.

“Cynthia-senpai!!!”

Huh?

“Who is this?”

“Um, I watched your match at the tournament, and you were so cute! Cool and cute, and, well, beautiful! Amazing! Is the one next to you Lillith-san? And Weiss-san too. But Cynthia-san is even more beautiful in person! Oh, please shake hands!”

“Thank you very much. —Of course, I don’t mind.”

She seemed a bit puzzled, but Cynthia senpai extended her hands to Meril.

Damn… lucky.

I see! That’s a way too!

“Weiss senpai, let me shake hands too—”

“I’ll kill you. —Let’s go, Cynthia, Lillith.”

“Yes. See you later, Meril-san.”

“Yes! Weiss-sama!”

Wait, did he just say he’ll kill me?

Uh, it’s our first meeting, right?

No… If you want to shake hands with me, if you want to fight me, if you want to touch me, climb up to the top and come. That’s it. That’s the way!

As expected of senpai. Tough, but he also gives advice.

But Meril, suddenly wanting to go to Noblesse. Is that what it means?

“Ah, Cynthia-senpai, so cool and beautiful…”

“Meril, your face is red.”

“Eh? Is, is it?”

“Very much so. Well, Senpai is cool.”

“Yeah, incredibly cute.”

“All right, Meril, let’s aim for the top so that Senpai pays attention to us!”

“That’s right! I’ll do my best!”

Now, I heard that Weiss senpai became the top among the underclassmen and entered the middle class.

—I’ll definitely get there too.
