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 - 217.2

### Interlude: Usable Trash and Unusable Trash

In the outskirts stood a conspicuously large mansion.

With its luxurious interior and immensely spacious rooms.

There stood Neil Albert, a tall man with blonde hair and a refreshing appearance.

“Priscilla, there are two types of people in the world besides me. Do you understand?”

Without changing his expression, Neil addressed the black-haired maid beside him.

With her perfectly symmetrical features and flawless white skin.

Priscilla replied in a flat tone.

“I apologize. I am unable to answer with certainty.”

In front of Neil and Priscilla, a man dressed in a tailcoat was kneeling.

Not uttering a word, his forehead pressed against the ground.

“Raise your face.”

“Yes, Neil-sama. I apologize for—”

“Priscilla.”

“Yes.”

“Gyaaahhh!”

With flames conjured in Priscilla’s hand, the man’s cheek was scorched.

Though his scream pierced the ears, Neil remained unfazed.

“Do not speak without permission. — Priscilla.”

“Yes.”

Priscilla purified water with her other hand.

Mercilessly pressing the cold water onto the burnt cheek, the man screamed again.

Once it was over, Neil spoke.

“How long have you served the Albert family?”

“…It has been five years.”

“I see. Then starting tomorrow, you will work as a slave.”

“T-That’s… P-Please have mercy! G-gyaaahhh!”

Once again, the man was burned by flames and staggered to his feet.

“He’s trash that’s not usable. But Priscilla, you’re usable trash.”

“I am grateful for your kindness. It is an honor.”

Neil grabbed Priscilla’s chin and smiled slightly.

“Your beautiful skin is your only redeeming quality.”

“Your words are too kind.”

“Hah, insincere as always. — Do you know Weiss?”

“Yes. I remember him as the eldest son of the Fancent family.”

“Sophia is spreading rumors about him being the man who repelled the demons. It seems Eva is still attending school because of him.”

Priscilla’s cheek twitched slightly upon hearing that.

“What’s wrong?”

“…I thought it was rare for Neil-sama to take an interest in others.”

“Haha, interest, huh. — Priscilla, change your clothes.”

“Yes.”

As per Neil’s instruction, Priscilla removed her hair accessory without any resistance.

Then she took off her skirt and jacket, leaving only her pure white underwear.

“Summer break in Estarm is ending soon. Let’s return to Noblesse. — It might be good to greet the underclassmen as seniors.”

Priscilla then took out the student uniform from the shelf.

She also prepared Neil’s uniform.

On the shoulder, just like Eva, there was a badge indicating a third-year student.

—

“Priscilla, brief me on the information.”

In the carriage heading towards Noblesse Academy, Neil asked, and Priscilla answered.

“Eleanor Witch and Sierra Witch have become supplementary graduates. They still attend Noblesse several times a week and are now in the same grade as Neil-sama. In the first year, Beryl from the Friede family and Merril from the Stone family are competing for the top spot. In the second year, as Neil-sama mentioned, Weiss Fancent is the top student. Following closely is Allen, who is of commoner descent.”

“I thought they were useful sisters, but they turned out to be mere trash. More importantly… how did a commoner enroll in Noblesse?”

“You are correct. There is information that he imitates other people’s magic.”

“…Hn, to admit a monkey into the school, Noblesse has really fallen.”

At Priscilla’s words, a slight shadow appeared on Neil’s expressionless face.

“Also, most of those mentioned are involved in the large-scale invasion of demon forces from the Carlos Kingdom, and last year, Milch Abista became a teacher at Noblesse.”

“Hah, it’s becoming interesting. It seems I might enjoy it more than I thought.”

Before long, they arrived at Noblesse Academy.

Priscilla immediately opened the door and waited for Neil to descend.

“It’s been a while.”

“Yes.”

Looking around, unfamiliar female freshmen noticed Neil.

And Neil — waved with a smile.

“Who’s that cool guy!?”

“Isn’t he a senior? Is he in our class?”

“So tall!”

As the female students left, Neil returned to his expressionless state.

“It’s tiring to act friendly towards trash.”

“Yes.”

At that moment, with her translucent white hair, Eva Avery crossed in front of Neil.

“Eva.”

“Hmm? Oh. — Neil… I mean, it’s been a while.”

“I thought you were going to leave the academy.”

“Hehehe, I was planning to. But some interesting… kids showed up as underclassmen.”

“I see. Rather than that, do you intend to serve the Albert family after graduation?”

“Oh, are you inviting me?”

“You’re usable…”

“Thank you. Well, it sounds somewhat fun, so I’ll consider it.”

“I see.”

Then Eva, with her black hair, spoke to Priscilla.

“Priscilla-chan, long time no see. You’ve become even cuter.”

“Thank you very much.”

“Hehehe, let’s hang out again. Our match isn’t settled yet, you know.”

With a smile, Eva left.

Priscilla, who was watching her, spoke without permission for the first time.

“…It’s unusual for Neil-sama to address you.”

“He’s a usable piece of trash. Looking down on all humans is easy, something only fools do. Understand?”

“Yes.”

Neil’s slightly loosened cheek in response to Priscilla’s answer.

“Priscilla, how many points do I have?”

“You have 54,560 points.”

“Hah, it’s decreased quite a bit.”

“But, is there a problem?”

“I still hate spending time in this damn school, but it’s an important job… For now, don’t lose to anyone other than Eva.”

“No problem.”

“Now, let’s go.”

“Yes.”

And behind them, another freshman was whispering.

“Did you see that just now?”

“That cool guy? First time I’ve seen him.”

“No, not him. The girl.”

“Huh? The one with black hair?”

“Yeah. — She had a slave mark on her neck.”

“…Huh? Th-That means, it can never be removed, right?”

“I think so…”
