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

　Raven is a magician-type character.

　He is a powerful character who crushes everything with the overwhelming amount of magic power he possesses from birth.

　However, the protagonist counters and defeats Raven's magic power with a combination of sword and magic ......, or 'technique'.

　I have to learn, first and foremost, the art of magic.

“How do I train ...... my magical skills?”

　If I wanted to train physical skills, I would probably do muscle training or running, but I don't know what exactly I should do in terms of magical training.

“What's wrong, Master Raven?"

　A girl entered the room.

　She was dressed as a maid and had fox ears sticking out of her head.

　She is a bestial maid, or as I recall, a super talented maid named “Kisara Elixir,” who takes care of Raven's personal needs and escorts him everywhere.

　She was a breathtakingly beautiful girl, just as she was in the game's visuals.

　She had light pink hair, blue eyes, and adorable fox ears that twitched.

She was so lovely, with her light pink hair, blue eyes, and fox ears that twitched.

　I said to Kisara, wondering how to start the conversation.

“Well,” I said to Kisara, wondering how to put it. “Do you know anyone who can teach me about magic?”

“The mage master for Master Raven just quit last week, and we haven't been able to find a replacement yet. I apologize.”

　Kisara bowed her head.

“He quit?　Why?”

I heard that ...... Raven-sama and he didn't, uh, get along, or something.“

　...... hmm?

Maybe he quit because of me?　For example, my attitude was not good enough.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!

　Kisara shook her head with a pale face.

　The fox ears are swaying restlessly.

　I wonder if the fact that her fox ears are swaying restlessly is an expression of her anxiety.

“Of course not!　Raven-sama's behavior is not the reason!“

　She denied it with great vigor.

　But she's clearly scared, Kisara .......

　Maybe - in reality, Raven's bad behavior is the reason he retired from his job as a mage instructor.

　Raven in the game is an arrogant, selfish, self-serving character.

　He's a scum who just hurts the people around him. ......

'...... okay. Then do you have some sort of magic textbook?　I'd like to learn on my own for now until a replacement is found.”

'Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!　I hope Master Raven will ...... learn by himself!”

　She's got a big reaction to every single thing.

“This is the library. Here you will find history books, culture, clothing, architecture, paintings, and more, organized on shelves, with magic books at the far end. Let me show you around.“

　Kisara leads the way as I walk through the stacks.

All the books on this shelf are grimoires.

“I hope there are some books that contain training methods for magic. ......“

Training?

'I want to train my magical skills. If I don't have a teacher, I'll just have to teach myself for now.”

'Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!　Master Raven wants to train on his own!?”

　I think I'm too surprised every time.

'Um, ...... am I really that much of a low effort person?'

“That's already!”

　Kisara leaned forward and stressed.

“Anyway you don't make any effort at all!　Super monogamous!　Lazy!　Arrogant!　A selfish person!　What a waste of a man with such wonderful qualities!”

Oh, oh, ......

　Wasn't there a huge barrage of swear words in the middle of the sentence?

“So ...... I'm glad. I'm glad that Raven-sama is finally in the right frame of mind.”

　Kisara was in tears.

'Kisara,......?

'I had been hearing a lot of things from those around me for some time. They said that you are not worthy to be the next head of the family, that your younger brother should be the next head of the family,...... and I was so frustrated by that."

“At last,” she said, wiping her tears with the back of her hand, “Raven-sama has finally become aware of his role as the next head of the family. Yeah.”

In fact, that's not really the reason.

　The actual reason is that I just want to survive.

Anyway, I'll do my best.

　I picked up the grimoire that Kisara had picked out for me.

It said, “A beginner's guide to magic training, 30 minutes of training a day, and you'll be a magic master”.

　That's what the book said.

　...... sounds like an introductory sports book, doesn't it?

　I, Raven Draxel, am a magic genius.

　Not just any genius.

　He is a super genius who may or may not appear once every 100 years.

　From birth, the amount of magic power he possesses is tens of times greater than that of an ordinary magician, which is out of the norm.

　However - he makes no effort at all.

　At least the Raven in the game has never had any training in magic.

　He uses magic only by his innate talent.

　And he is overwhelmingly strong.

　However, in the game storyline, the protagonist is eventually defeated because of his “fragility due to his genius.

　It is a classic story of a hard-working protagonist triumphing over a genius-type villain, Raven.

　So, what would happen if Raven made an effort?

It's obvious: “ ...... the strongest.”

　I was reading a grimoire, learning how to train magic.

　There are several ways to become stronger as a magician.

　The first is simply to increase magical power.

　Next is to learn more powerful spells.

　Other ways include speeding up the speed of chanting, which is directly related to the speed at which magic is invoked.

　Raven already has the world's greatest amount of magical power, and it would be better to train other parts of her body.

“Learning new spells and increasing her chanting speed...... these two things?”

　I decided to take another look at Raven's status.

****

Name: Raven Draxel

Level: 1

Magic: Extreme level

Spells: Fire, Thunder, Shield

****

Only three lower grade spells that can be used? ......

　Yes, Raven can use only three lower level spells.

　Yet, the amount of magic power is so different that those three alone are the most powerful.

in fact, the lower grade spells that Raven uses are much more powerful than the higher grade magic used by other characters.

This is not the highest grade of fire, it's just a lower grade fire,” was Raven's signature line in the game.

First, let's learn the intermediate rank on the Fire spells.

　I came to the magic practice area.

　It seems that this is a special magic practice field made for Raven.

　The place is covered with several layers of protective wards, so even if you use powerful magic, it will prevent damage to the outside.

　However, as I have said several times, Raven makes no effort at all.

　Naturally, he has never used this place.

'Well, then. Let's get started.“

　I flipped through the magic book.

　There are two things that are required to cast a magic spell: imagery and accurate chanting.

　Imagery is the ability to envision how the magic will manifest.

　When using fire, rather than vaguely thinking of “fire,” one should ask oneself whether it is a blazing fire, a ball of fire, a whirlpool of flame, or a fiery arrow.

　The more specific such a magic is, the more precise or powerful it will be.

　And it is the chanting that assists in creating that image.

Let's see, intermediate level “Fire” is created with the image of a “whirling flame” (......). I see. So the chanting should be the same as what is listed here: .......

　Okay, let's give it a try.

　I held out my right hand straight out.

　I thought of “Swirling Flames,” as it is written in the book.

　I read the chant out loud in a bar,

“Fire Intermediate!”

　I activated it.

　Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

　There was a huge explosion.

'Uh, uh, ......?'

　No, I surprised even myself.

　The intermediate level fire I had unleashed--

　It blew up the magic practice field without leaving any trace.

　Isn't it to overpowered
