I was Reincarnated as the Youngest Child of a Villainous Noble Family Who Controls the Kingdom from Behind the Scenes

"Umyumyu"

"Hey, get off me."

"Umyu."

The last one is that damn sister of mine. She’s level 20 and has turned into some kind of liquid, sticking to me like glue.

Forget about my damn sister, but I’ve never heard of a level 20 getting attached to someone like this.

Sure, it might look cute on the outside, but inside, it’s a ferocious beast.

"Hey,Miley-nee. What the hell happened to this thing?"

"Well, if no one becomes its master, it’s useless. What’s the point of me creating a magical beast that’s just violent for no reason?"

"Knowing Miley-nee, you’d probably create something like that without even thinking…"

"How cruel!"

It’s not cruel. What’s cruel is that this thing has latched onto me.

One wrong move, and it’s a dangerous creature.

If it doesn’t let go of me, I can’t even go to the academy. What am I supposed to do?

"Hey, you! Get away from Alphiss -sama!"

"Umyuuu!"

The level 20 is growling at Rucelle.

Does it only listen to me, its master?

"Hey, don’t fight."

"Umyu."

The level 20 calmed down.

If it listens to me, there’s still hope.

Since it won’t leave my side, I’ll just have to train it little by little.

"Alphiss -sama! You’re not seriously planning to take that thing with you, are you?"

"It probably won’t leave me, and I can’t just push it away. Besides, if I train it, it might be useful somewhere."

"I’d be more useful than that thing!"

"You’re not on the same level as the level 20. You’re above it."

"Huh!?"

I thought I could brush it off with that, but it seems Lushiel caught on.

Thankfully, he’s simple-minded.

He regains his composure and looks down at the level 20.

"If you’re attached to Alphiss-sama, that means you have to listen to me, his right-hand man. Got it?"

"Umyuu~…"

"Alphiss -sama comes first, then me, and then you. Understand?"

"Uuuu myuuuu~~~"

It seems really dissatisfied, but is that okay?

The level 20 smoothly slips into my bag.

Since it’s amorphous, this should be fine, right?

If the student council finds out, I might get penalized.

Especially that Lillysha—she’d come after me like I killed her parents.

This is turning into a real hassle.

"Now, about the experiment… let’s wrap it up. Vaide-nii, it’s your turn."

"Huh? The level 20 battle is over, right?"

"The opponents are levels 21 to 25."

"Didn’t you say it was up to level 20?"

Yeah, I figured you’d say that.

I did say there were up to level 20, but I never said that was all.

The level 25 here is just provisional.

"To be precise, there are five magical beasts. Since their strength levels aren’t entirely clear, I want to settle it now. But of course, they’re stronger than that level 20 over there."

"Interesting. Bring them out now."

Vaid-nii eagerly heads to the arena.

I thought the monsters would come out immediately, but they’re taking their time.

Actually, the gate isn’t opening.

"Hey, what are you doing? Open it."

"Director Mirei, are you really going to release that? It’s an unknown entity, and if it’s unleashed, who knows what will happen to the research facility… Especially the provisional level 25—it destroyed the arena once before."

"Who do you think is here? If Vaid-nii can’t handle it, sooner or later, not just the research facility, but the entire capital will be destroyed."

"True… then, let’s proceed."

This is some insane conversation, but Vaid-nii is waiting eagerly.

Then, the gate opens, and a fiery heat ray is unleashed.

"It’s out! Provisional level 21… the Red Material Dragon!"

The dragon that lumbered out is covered in magic stones like scales.@@novelbin@@

Its eyes glow with an artificial light, as if embedded with jewels.

This lifeless magical beast calmly faces Vaid-nii, who stands unfazed even after taking its breath attack.

"…Not bad! This heat surpasses even the breath of a magma dragon born from a volcano! Especially—"

"Gaaaaaaaah!"

The dragon, not caring about the battle maniac’s monologue, unleashes a spreading breath attack this time.

The heat rays branch out, attacking the entire arena.

The arena is filled with flaming meteors, and the researchers scream.

"I-It’s too much! Director Miley! We need to—"

"It’s over."

The dragon’s head falls to the ground, its mouth still open.

With a heavy thud, the dragon stops moving, and Vaid-nii stands at its feet.

"Miley,just bring out levels 22 to 25 all at once. It’s a hassle."

"Eh? Are you sure?"

"Yeah."

The researchers are hesitant, but at Mirei’s instruction, they reluctantly open the gates.

A giant beast constantly bathed in lightning, a monstrous bird scattering poisonous feathers as it flies around the arena, a snake that devours all magic, and a girl-shaped magical beast similar to the level 20.

Any one of these would be too much for a group of mages to handle.

Honestly, I’m not confident I can handle this situation either.

"Magnificent!"

Vaid-nii raises his greatsword, ready for the onslaught.

What makes Vaid-nii so strong? It’s not his magic or chaotic energy.

It’s his physical strength.

In terms of physical ability alone, he surpasses even Leorg. If he enhances his body with magic, there’s almost no one who can beat him head-on.

Vaid-nii has trained his body relentlessly, without relying on techniques, magic, or energy waves.

Thanks to that, even with average magical body enhancement, Vaid-nii becomes a threat comparable to forbidden magic, standing in the way of his enemies.

That’s true even against these magical beasts.

The magical beasts attack all at once, filling the arena with every kind of assault.

Death feathers that kill on contact, a storm of lightning that makes Deniro’s attacks look like child’s play, a snake that opens its massive jaws to strike from above.

And to top it all off, the flames from the girl-shaped magical beast that make everything else seem like a joke.

If Lillisha saw this, she’d lose all confidence and never fight again. These flames aren’t even flames anymore.

The energy of the flames forms into spheres, scorching the walls of the arena made of magic-resistant ore.

Any normal creature or material would evaporate instantly.

Not burn—evaporate. The heat alone would probably melt iron in seconds.

No living being could survive in that, no matter what magic they used.

"I couldn’t dodge that! Magnificent!"

Except for Vaid-nii.

With a body tougher than iron, Vaide-nii cuts through the magical beasts one after another, even as his body burns.

He slices through the giant beast along with its lightning, hurls his greatsword to pierce the flying monster, and as it falls, he draws his sword again to cut the snake in half.

Finally, he closes in on the girl-shaped magical beast.

"You’re the strongest here! You’ve concentrated heat to its limit in one place to increase destructive power, turning it into energy that erases matter! The most terrifying thing is your body itself! If a blade touches your surface, the heat would instantly transfer, rendering my arm useless! And your energy-based body could cause a massive explosion if it releases its power! Enough to destroy a fifth of the capital! And yet, you yourself would take no damage. If you wanted, you could annihilate the capital in less than a day! This is nothing short of a calamity!"

The magical beast looks puzzled by Vaide-nii’s speech.

As usual, how does he figure all that out just by looking? What a freak.

"But I’m not losing either! I’ve practiced cutting through flames countless times! For example, by generating wind pressure while increasing sword speed, it’s not impossible to cut through heat without touching it!"

He’s spouting nonsense, but Vaid-nii is the one who can actually do it.

With a powerful strike, the girl-shaped magical beast is cut in half.

The wind pressure causes the upper and lower halves to dissolve into the air like a candle flame being blown out.

"Moyu…"

"Huh?"

The level 25, which I thought had disappeared, reappears.

Wait, seriously?

"What’s this?"

"Moyumyu."

The level 25 floats around Vaide-nii.

Is this the same pattern as with me?

Vaide-nii looks slightly troubled but quickly turns on his heel.

"So, you’re aiming for greater heights too, huh?"

"Moyu."

"Fine. Come with me."

"Moyuu."

Now he’s started walking around with a dangerous creature, interpreting things in his own way.

What’s left is a monster standing among the corpses of the magical beasts.

Well, I guess I have to beat this thing now.

I’ve been trembling with excitement this whole time.
