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 - Chapter 271: Promise

Chapter 271: Promise

Karta used to be in fifth place.

But now, she has surpassed Duke and Cynthia.

Her fight with Neil, where she took down many senior students at once, probably played a big role in that.

Still, I couldn’t help but laugh at how high her ranking was, considering she was supposed to drop out.

Olin and Cecil may not have great overall rankings, but their potential is extraordinary.

At this point, rankings based only on grade levels don’t mean much anymore.

The same goes for Lillith and Tula.

In team battles, where magic is the main focus, they struggle.

But when it comes to individual ability, they stand out.

It wouldn’t be surprising if this ranking changes drastically in the future.

But more than that, I was shocked when I saw the name in eleventh place.

―― Luna Candy.

She’s not someone who should rank this high overall.

And yet, she was standing next to me, looking at the rankings.

“…Just a little more.”

She had black hair and a beautiful face.

She was short, and her magic power wasn’t particularly strong, but she had a unique ability.

She could summon and control magical creatures from her imagination to fight.

In the past, I approached Karta because I knew her flight magic was one of the most valuable abilities in this world.

And now, Luna is the most valuable card I want in my hand.

The reason I hadn’t spoken to her before was that I knew she had a difficult personality.

She was the type to isolate herself, and if she got too scared, she might even drop out on her own.

In the original story, she was a powerful ally, but if you approached her at the wrong time, she would disappear.

To put it simply, she was like a Metal Slime—a rare and elusive student.

The best approach was to wait for her to come to me.

But what puzzled me was how she had climbed the ranks.

She wasn’t the kind of person who would do something that would make her stand out.

That was what confused me.

Looking back, my life had always been a gamble.

So, why not take another chance?

“Yo, looks like you’ve been working hard.”

Luckily, Cynthia and Lillith weren’t around.

Now was the perfect time to talk to her.

Luna looked up at me.

She was about the same height as Karta, I think.

I couldn’t see her face clearly, but Noblesse students were all ridiculously good-looking anyway.

And then—

“…Promise.”

She said just that one word before running off and disappearing.

…Huh?

Wait, was that a success? A failure?

…Which one?
