I was reincarnated as a villainous aristocrat with a certain death route.

I was watching Mars' match.

“'you don't have much magic power, and you're a freshman. ...... Well, I guess I win easily, huh?”

　The third-year girl who was my opponent - Lia - laughed.

　The other hand, Mars is obviously looking a bit down.

' Lia senpai's magic value is '531' and Mars' is '309'. There is quite a difference.'

　Kisara said.

　During the match, the various information ...... of the students competing against each other, such as their “magical power value” and current “life value” are displayed on a monitor-like stone tablet.

　It's quite a game-like creation,......, or perhaps it's natural since it's a game world to begin with.

　It is true that Mars has low magic power among the students, and many of the spells he has are also weak.

　Well, in the game, as the story progresses, the magic power increases and the spells available increase, but at least at this point in time, it is safe to say that Mars' specs are quite low.

　At the very least, at this point in time, Mars' specs are very low.

　But --

“Don't worry, Mars has 'that thing' he learned from training with me."

"What?"

"You trained with him?'

　I grinned at the surprised Kisara and Matilda.

'We are friends.'

'I'm so glad you have a friend Master Raven, ...... .'

　For some reason, Kisara seemed touched.

'Look, it's about to start.'

　Matilda pointed to the match site.

　The match was about to begin.

'Could it be - he's going to lose?"

　As I watched Mars' fighting performance, I felt a sense of urgency, as if it were my own.

　I thought that since Mars was the main protagonist in the game, he was going to win somehow.

　That's what I thought, but reality is not so sweet.

　Mars was being one-sidedly hunted down and his life was being whittled away.

　In contrast, Lia took almost no damage.

　The difference in strength was obvious.

"No, I can't win. ......!”

　I heard Mars moaning from the match site.

　His face was pale.

　He had worked so hard in training.

　He had seemed so happy when things went well.

　I can't believe he couldn't show it and lost the match unilaterally.

　I don't want that.

　I want him to win.

"Go for it, Mars!'

　I couldn't help but stand up and cheer him on.

　It was probably the first time I had ever cheered so hard for someone else.

　In the first place, I have never been so deeply involved with others as to put in that kind of support in a previous life. ......

　No, even now I haven't spent long enough with him to be able to say that I was 'deeply involved'.

　Still - I think I'm starting to think of him as an important friend after all.

　That's why..,

“You've practiced!　Don't worry, you can win!”

　I cheered desperately.

“Raven, .......”

"Come on, Mars!"

“--Oh.”

　Mars' face changed.

Thanks, Raven. Thanks to you, I'm feeling more motivated.”

　The atmosphere he wore had clearly changed.

　Yes, that's what it means to be the protagonist.

"I am the one who will win."

'Heh, you've suddenly become very confident.”

　His opponent, Laia, smirked at him.

"But cheering doesn't change your ability. It's not that easy to win with that. That's the reality."

"Yes, it doesn't change my ability. It's just that with a change of mindset, the ability that I couldn't bring out until now will be able to be brought out."

　A whoosh!

　A blue aura rose from Mars' entire body.

　The brightness of the magic power had increased.

　It wasn't that the magic itself had increased.

　Just as Mars said, the power that had not been fully unleashed was about to be fully displayed.

"From here on, it's all I can do."

"Ha!　That doesn't mean you can beat me."

　Laia releases a magic bullet.

'Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

　Two bullets, three bullets, four bullets...

　A total of seventeen [magic bullets] came toward Mars from various directions.

"It's a force push. Your magic power cannot bounce back my magic power."

'Don't bounce back.”

　Mars thrust out his right hand.

　A magic bullet is released from it.

　The magic bullet spins in a spiral shape.

"This [spiral magic bullet] will repel the opponent's [magic bullet] and pry open its route."

“Eh......!”

Bashuunun

　Mars was right.

　The released【Spiral Magic Bullet】bounces off the crowd of Lia's【Magic Bullet】, opens up a gap, and then pushes toward her from there.

“Kyaaaaaah!”

　A direct hit--.

　And Lia's life points were reduced to zero at once.

"The winner, Mars Bourdain!"

　It was a stunning one-shot comeback.
