I Was Reincarnated as the Most Wicked Aristocrat Who Rules Over the Kingdom’s Darkness in an R-18 Eroge, but I Don’t Like Abnormal Situations, so I Tried to Live a Normal and Peaceful Life, but I’m Somehow in the Same Situation as the Original Scenario - Chapter 8 - The Strongest Magician Enters the Story

Chapter 8 – The Strongest Magician Enters the Story

On the first day of school, the entrance ceremony was held in a hall set up on the academy grounds, and that was the end of it.

The ceremony itself was nothing particularly noteworthy.

If there was anything that bothered me…

First, Elise.

For some reason, she kept sending glances my way from afar, but what on earth was that about?

…Could she have taken a strong interest in me?

No, that’s impossible.

In that case, there is only one answer.

The person Elise was looking at was Lumiere, standing next to me.

If I think about it that way, it makes sense.

After all, my sister is ranked second in our grade.

Surely Elise was paying close attention to someone who could potentially take her throne.

And with that, one doubt was cleared.

I was right to assume that there’s no issue with Elise after all.

But… There was one other thing that bothered me during the ceremony. It’s not about that person. I wouldn’t be particularly concerned about him now.

During the entrance ceremony, the teachers were being introduced, and among them was an unknown character who had not appeared in the original work.

The strongest magician of the current generation.

That was how the beautiful red-haired woman was introduced.

Her outfit was extremely provocative, and she seemed to be showing off her outstanding figure.

I could also sense her overwhelming pride in herself from her face.

…If it were the original Alvart, he would probably want to crush her pride, subject her to thorough pleasure training, and turn her into a sex slave.

However, I have no interest in her.

I don’t think I’ll have any further contact with her, so I didn’t feel like remembering her name.

…Back to the present.

After the entrance ceremony was over, I followed my guide to the dormitory and entered my room.

Because the target students were nobles, the room interior was extremely luxurious.

After examining the room, I asked my younger sister, who was standing nearby.

“…You don’t have to check your room?”

“Yes! It’s Lumi’s job to be by Nii-sama’s side!”

She acts like an obedient attendant, but I won’t be fooled.

She’s probably always looking for the right opportunity to stab me in the back.

However, Lumiere is not a threat to me, so it doesn’t matter what she’s up to. I only replied, “Do as you please.”

“…I’m going to the library now to study and review, what about you?”

“Of course! I’ll accompany Nii-sama!”

“…Don’t get in my way.”

After saying that, I left my room with my sister.

The library is located inside the dormitory, and it boasts a considerable collection of books.

The reason I went there is not just to study and review, but also to check the settings of this world.

This world has the power to correct itself, and it keeps updating the scenario to make it unfavorable to me.

In order to deal with my nemesis, the world’s correction power, I intuitively felt that it would be best to understand the various settings in this world.

Furthermore, studying in the library would also mean presenting myself as a mob character.

A diligent student is less likely to stand out than a lazy student who stays in their room and does nothing.

With that thought in mind, I entered the library with Lumiere and selected books as my instincts guided me.

I sat down at the table with the books in my hands and immediately examined the contents——

“Zesphilia-kun? Studying on the first day, huh? So serious!”

An unpleasant voice reached my ears.

I looked in that direction and saw several male students standing there.

“Well, you’ve got to try hard, right? Your sister has already surpassed you in rank.”

Following the lead of the group, a boy who looked like a real bully, the others began to speak.

“You’re so lame.”

“No matter how hard an average person tries, they can’t compete with a genius.”

“Just drop out already~”

It was too obvious.

Corrective power, do you really think I’d go along with something like this?

You think I’d unilaterally overpower the irritating bullies, show off my abilities to those around, and then my success story would begin…

But it’s all too obvious.

Naturally, I——

“Hey, Nii-sama. Can’t we just kill these guys?”

Lumiere’s unexpected words made me a little shaken.

She sounded like she was on my side, but that wouldn’t fool me.

She probably thought it was fine for her to bully others, but she wouldn’t like it if someone else took that role away from her.

Naturally, I wasn’t going to approve of her intentions.

“I told you not to get in the way. Shut up, Lumiere.”

“…Yes, Nii-sama.”

My little sister nodded, albeit reluctantly.

After confirming that, I turned my eyes to the boys.

…Still, this boy standing at the front… I feel like I’ve seen him somewhere before…

But I just can’t remember..

Well, he’s probably nobody important.

Having concluded that, I calmly spoke to those boys.

“I don’t have the slightest interest in you guys. Therefore, it doesn’t matter what you say, and it’s none of my business whatsoever what you do. Do as you like. I’ll do the same.”

An event that must have occurred due to the power of correction.

The answer to this was to completely ignore it.

Conflict is out of the question.

Having a discussion also seemed a bit risky.

That’s why I decided to remain indifferent.

If I did nothing, nothing would happen.

I ignored their existence and focused on my original purpose of preparing and reviewing.

Of course, being ignored was not going to be pleasant for the other party, so they probably tried various things to interfere… But that was beyond my awareness.

The barrier I had established not only blocked their actions but also shut out any annoying noise.

And because of this…

I would have had no way of knowing what had happened around me while I was studying…

I had no idea the full picture of it.

But there was one thing I could say.

I must have made some kind of mistake.

After I had finished most of my studying, I casually looked around me…

The moment I grasped the current situation, I unconsciously muttered.

“…What the hell happened?”

Everything was in disarray.

The inside of the library was in ruins, as if a war had taken place there.

And then…

For some reason, the bullies looked at me with awe.

For some reason, Lumiere was smiling with a smug look on her face.

For some reason——

Before my very eyes, stood the strongest magician of the generation.

She narrowed her deep green eyes in curiosity, staring at me as she said,

“In the end, you didn’t care until the very last moment.”

Her beautiful voice had a somewhat buoyant tone.

And then, with her beautiful crimson hair fluttering, she approached me,

“Hey, Alvart Zesphilia. Say my name.”

She had a smile on her lips and a sharp look in her eyes as she spoke to me.

“……”

I felt a strong sense of irritation.

Her name, huh… Her name…

…This is bad.

…I had decided that I’d never have anything to do with her, so I didn’t even try to remember it at all.

I desperately searched my memory.

But it was no use.

Before I could remember, she said…

“Hahahaha! I see ! So even Rinslet Freanain isn’t even in your sights!”

She introduced herself, and then…

She spoke the worst kind of line,

“…You’re interesting. I like you.”

I couldn’t respond anymore.

Anyway, I should get out of here now.

Nothing good would come from staying here for too long.

“…I will now be taking my leave, Miss Freanain.”

I quickly walked away.

She didn’t try to force me to stay, but…

Instead, she spoke into my back.

“I’ll be in charge of your class. At the very least, let’s enjoy a year of school life together, shall we? You who treated me so lightly, Alvart Zesphilia-kun?”

Her voice was somewhat seductive.

However, deep inside, I felt that there was an anger that couldn’t be hidden.

Ah, it seems I have completely become her target.

“Fufu♥ As expected of Nii-sama, going all out from day one!♥”

My little sister was saying something next to me, but I didn’t care.

…I simply ignored the bullies.

They left, resigned to the fact that I wouldn’t react to them no matter what.

From then on, even if they tried to engage with me, it wouldn’t be a problem at all.

That was how it was supposed to end, but——

“How did things turn out like this?”
