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 278: The Return of the Nightmare

Chapter 278: The Return of the Nightmare

I sliced through with Flash Time Lapse, but she wasn’t there.

I hurriedly try to search my surroundings, but a magic attack comes from behind.

However, I react instantly and deflect it with my sword.

I didn’t use my magic eye because I wanted to know her true strength.

“…Why?”

She must have been nearly invisible.

In the few seconds I failed to notice, she launched her attack.

As expected, her sense for this is remarkable.

I lightly tap her on the head.

“Ow…”

“—That was a good attack. Not bad.”

Perhaps she wished to become stronger at some point.

Maybe she was inspired by someone.

But the next moment, Luna suddenly starts crying.

“…Why…?”

These aren’t light tears.

It’s an expression of deep sadness from the bottom of her heart.

“I… Vi-kun, I’ve always adored you…”

“Huh? Vi-kun?”

“For ten years, I’ve been waiting. Every night, I thought about you… So why are you with Lady Cynthia…?”

At that moment, I remembered.

Because of her rare magic, she was bullied as a heretic since childhood.

Seeing her unkempt bangs and gloomy personality, Weiss must have felt a connection to her own struggles.

That notorious Weiss saved her from her bullies.

And… wait…?

“Luna.”

“…Yes.”

“You’re cute. Want to be my girl?”

“…I don’t understand.”

“I’m enrolling in Noblesse Academy. If I take first place there, what do you say?”

“…Okay.”

Wait, so on the day I got engaged and declared I’d cheat, I was already cheating?
