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 - 240.12

The Beginning of Everything 12

I administered punishment as usual.

And then, Lord Neil looked saddened.

“…Why, why? Why don’t they understand? No matter how many times I tell them… those scum…”

“…Lord Neil.”

“More… Indeed, we need Eva Avery. We lack pawns. We need even more fear.”

A well-known celebrity.

—Eva Avery.

There are rumors that she hates slaves.

But on the other hand, she would surely know about Lord Neil.

If she joined the cause, fear would surely increase, and the enemies would greatly decrease.

After that, we returned to the academy and met another famous person.

—Weiss Fancent.

He was famous among the nobility for being a rapist.

For administering brutal corporal punishment.

But I heard he had a change of heart.

Perhaps he had an incident like Lord Neil.

However, there was no time to dwell on such matters.

Yet, the more I investigated, the more astounding things I discovered.

The top freshman at Noblesse, having repelled calamities, fended off a massive demon invasion, and had connections with powerful individuals like Milk Abitus and Eva Avery.

If he were around, perhaps he and Lord Neil might share similar views.

And after a brief conversation, I realized.

He and Lord Neil were similar. However, their goals were different.

It should align over trivial matters.

If he were here, surely Eva Avery, Milk Abitus.

Lady Violetta of the Bioretta family, Cecil Antwerp Carta Wiore, and an extraordinary lineup would gather behind Lord Neil.

I must pull him in, no matter what.

Just then, I received a message from Cecil saying she wanted to talk.

It was an opportunity I couldn’t ask for more.

But—.

“…What do you think, Priscilla?”

“…Honestly, I think it’s outside the norm.”

After meeting and talking, I realized.

Having met various strong individuals— I understand.

Cecil Antwerp’s intellect, the unyielding Weiss Fancent.

Their magical power and incredible strength.

We cannot— we cannot win.

My instincts, my intuition, told me so correctly.

“I see… I share the same opinion.”

The business is fine. It’s going well.

Yet ironically, we have come to understand.

We overthought the future.

And, I understood.

At this rate, it would be impossible to finish what I want to do in my lifetime.
