I Was Reincarnated as a Villainous Noble But I’ll Be Executed as a Traitor if I Do Good Deeds Chapter 47



47: In the Midst of Worries

The possibility that Julia’s true identity is the protagonist with a changed gender is also on my mind. What would I do if that’s the case? It’s a troublesome problem.

“If I follow the original story, I’ll be killed by the protagonist. But I should be able to avoid that future. Even if Julia has some connection to the protagonist, there must be a way to avoid being enemies.”

That’s why I’m taking action. I’ll do as much good as possible and avoid getting a extermination order from the royal family. Even if I do get one, I’ll try to make them hesitate.

That’s why it’s crucial to determine if Julia has any connection to the protagonist. But I don’t want to suspect them with a biased perspective. It’s painful to doubt someone who’s kind to me. Moreover, if I look at Julia with suspicious eyes, it might have a bad influence on our relationship.

“For now, Julia is just someone who’s kind to me. That’s fine. Overthinking is not good.”

If I find out they have attributeless magical power, things might change. But until then, I’ll interact with them sincerely as a student. That’s the best approach.

I’m thinking of ways to educate the students. Since I’m in a hurry, there are many things lacking. Time is limited, and there are unavoidable parts.

There are few people I can rely on. Only a handful of people have the knowledge and skills to teach, and they’re close to me. That’s why I only have Filis and Erena.

So, I’ll consult with the two of them. I want to find out what kind of talents the students have.

“Alright, Filis, Erena. I need your help with my plan. I want you to take a look at the students who are part of the school.”

“……Condition. You’ll give me a tool infused with your full magical power as compensation. That’s the deal.”

“Understood, Rex. Since I’m getting paid a lot, I don’t mind taking a detour.”

I got their agreement, so I had them evaluate the students’ talents. As a result, I got a sense of direction.

“For now, Julia is skilled with swords, and Stell is skilled with bows. Their abilities match their interests.”

Perhaps it’s because they’ve been training their whole lives. If their abilities match their interests, that’s a wonderful thing. I won’t have to force them to change.

“Chrono might be able to use earth magic. I’ll have to investigate. There might be unexpected talents hidden.”

I don’t know what kind of talents people who don’t appear in the original story might have. That’s why it’s crucial to investigate thoroughly. While there are few magicians among commoners, they do exist. I’ve realized that.

There are also other students who can use magic. I want to send some of them to Astral Academy.

For now, magic is required for the entrance exam. However, it’s common sense that you don’t know if someone can use magic until the moment they do. Or perhaps there’s a way to find out?

Ah, I’ve thought of a possibility. If I infuse them with dark magical power, can I detect the magic within their bodies? Well, that would be a last resort. I’ll consult with Filis about it later.

Filis and Erena left, and I watched Larna teach her class. When the lesson ended, Julia, Stell, Larna, and Chrono approached me. Or rather, Chrono might just be following Larna.

“Rex-sama, I want to learn sword skills like yours. Can I get some advice?”

“Julia, you’re being too polite. You’re already receiving so much kindness, and yet you’re asking for more?”

It’s not like I’m bothered or anything. Rather, it’s more troublesome when people are overly polite and don’t speak their minds. But how do I explain this?

“Rex-sama, how do you do? Shall I arrange for a teacher on my side?”

“Rana-sama, why would you…?”

I wonder how Rana plans to arrange for a teacher. Depending on her approach, our future plans might change. But first, let’s focus on Julia.

“I’m the strongest, so you lot can’t catch up to me. But, yeah, you’re too focused on your hands. You need to spread your nerves throughout your entire body.”

“Thank you, Rex-sama. I’ll try to do that. Is this the right feeling?”

With just one word, her movements changed clearly. She indeed has talent. Even if she’s not the protagonist, she’s someone I can expect great things from.

“Use honorific language! Rex-sama is our lord!”

“This is irrelevant. Besides, I don’t expect commoners like you to know etiquette.”

“Thank you, Rex-sama. I apologize for the trouble.”

While saying this, Stell looks at me with expectant eyes. She’s definitely looking up to me, and her advice is enviable. Thinking this, I quickly spoke up.

“Stell, can you learn how to shoot arrows diagonally? It’s a technique to shoot arrows upwards and hit targets far away.”

“I’ll try my best, thank you for the advice.”

You can see the power in her eyes. It seems I made the right choice. I want to see her grow even more. Even if these kids can’t enter Astral Academy, it’s valuable to have people who look up to me.

“Is it okay if Rex-sama teaches us himself?”

“Well, Rana, what do you think?”

“I have connections at the royal academy. I’ve been involved with them to cure my illness, so I can hire teachers from there.”

The academy is a research institution, formally known as the Svel Academy. They research magic and science, and it’s a gathering of the most intelligent people. However, it’s considered less prestigious than Astral Academy.

But if magic can’t cure an illness, it’s natural to rely on other techniques. If that’s the case, having connections isn’t a bad thing. It’s convenient. If we can send people to the academy, that’s a big deal. I don’t know the academy’s admission standards, so connections are important.

“You have magic users, and Elina sometimes takes care of martial arts. We need people who can use other skills. Yeah, people who excel in academics.”

“I understand, Rex-sama. Please leave it to me.”

Rana has become quite cooperative. I think she understands that I’m serious about running a school. Whatever the case, it’s a relief. I have limitations on my own, after all.

“Lana-sama, is your body okay?”

“Chrono, that’s none of your business. Stop prying.”

This doesn’t sound like Rana at all. Why is that? I feel a sense of discomfort, and Chrono leaves, followed by everyone else. The atmosphere is bad, and that’s probably the reason.

So, I also headed back, taking my time.

“Anyway, if we can get an excellent teacher, that’s great. Since it’s the academy, they should be excellent in academics. That’s perfect.”

To be honest, I wouldn’t have thought of this if Rana weren’t here. Or rather, even if I had thought of it, I couldn’t have executed it. The Black family looks down on people who can’t use magic. If I had suggested this to my father, he would have rejected it.

Thinking about it, Rana’s arrival was quite convenient. I want to build a good relationship with her from now on.
