Reborn As Noble

Chapter 211 A Noble Heart ( 211 )

”Alright, class!” The instructor entered briskly, and the chatter among the Class F students quieted as everyone took their seats.

The instructor cleared his throat and began. ”As you all know, the blessing ceremony is near. This is an important moment for each of you. During the ceremony, you will receive your blessings and find out your classes—whether you will become warriors, mages, wizards, or something else.”

The students exchanged nervous glances.

”The results of the blessing will determine your future,” the instructor continued. ”Some of you may be chosen to continue your education at the higher magic academy. Others may follow different paths, based on your noble householdsʼ expectations or your own dreams.”

Javier, resting his chin on his hand, let out a quiet sigh of boredom.

The instructor shot him a glance before continuing. ”But before the blessing ceremony, in three days, you will all take an exam. This will test your skills and readiness to receive your blessings and move to the next stage.”

The students groaned together, while Javier muttered, ”Ugh, another test?...”

Liana and Gloria exchanged amused looks, already anticipating Javierʼs antics.

The instructor clapped his hands, getting the studentsʼ attention again. ”I hope everyone will try their best on this exam,” he said, pacing slowly across the room. ”Originally, this was supposed to have two parts: a written exam and a practical magic exam.”

A murmur spread through the room. The mention of the practical magic exam made several students shift nervously, while others looked disappointed.

The instructor raised a hand to silence them. ”However, due to recent... issues during the battleground event,” he paused, glancing meaningfully at Javier, who was now spinning a pencil between his fingers, ”the magic test has been removed for this session.”

The class collectively exhaled, feeling a mix of relief and disappointment.

”This means your performance on the written exam will be more important than ever. It will assess your understanding and readiness for the blessing ceremony. So, study hard!”

Javier leaned back, smirking slightly. ”No magic test? Guess I donʼt have to break a sweat.”

Liana sighed beside him, her voice soft yet firm. ”Young Master, even if itʼs just a written exam, you should still prepare. You donʼt want to disappoint your father, do you?”

Gloria, sitting on his other side, chuckled lightly. ”Ara~ Donʼt worry, Liana. Iʼm sure our young master can wing it with his usual charm.”

Javier grinned. ”See? Gloria gets it. Besides, itʼs just writing. How hard can it be?”

The instructor looked over the class one last time. ”Prepare well, everyone. The exam will start in three days. Good luck.”

As the bell rang, the instructor announced, ”Class dismissed.”

Javier immediately jumped up from his seat, a wide grin on his face. ”Yeah! Time to go home!” he shouted, already dashing toward the door. ”Liana! Gloria! Faster!”

The two maids exchanged glances, sighed, and hurried after him, gathering his belongings as they went.

Javier bolted down the hallway, his voice echoing through the academy. ”Move over!” he shout, pushing past students lingering in his way, including those from higher-ranking noble families.

One indignant voice protested, ”Hey! Watch it!”

Another added, ”Thatʼs Count Armandʼs son—canʼt he act more refined?”

Javier didnʼt respond, focused entirely on reaching the courtyard.

A marquisʼ son sputtered in outrage, nearly spinning around in anger. ”You dare push me?!”

Javier glanced back briefly, smirking. ”You looking for a fight, Marquis boy? Youʼre lucky I didnʼt kick your ball!”

The crowd parted instinctively, muttering as Javier charged ahead, his confidence unmatched.

Liana and Gloria followed briskly, Liana sighing in exasperation. ”Young Master, slow down! Youʼll get yourself in trouble one day.”

Gloria giggled lightly. ”Ara~ Heʼs just excited. Let him have his fun.”

Javier burst into the courtyard, Buddy and Pikko squawking excitedly when they saw him. ” Time to head home, you two! Letʼs go!”

The two Pekkos stomped eagerly, clearly ready to leave as they mirrored their masterʼs boundless energy.

”Finally free!” he cackled, shaking off the stiffness of classroom boredom. Buddy let out an enthusiastic squawk in agreement, flapping his wings.

”Young Master, please donʼt shout right outside the academy,” Liana sighed, adjusting her hold on Pikkoʼs reins.

”Ara~ Let him enjoy it, Liana,” Gloria chuckled. ”Itʼs rare to see someone so happy to leave school.”

Javier grinned. ”Who wouldnʼt be? Schoolʼs suffocating. This is real freedom!”

Experience more content on

As they rode along the road, Javier perched atop Buddy, grinning mischievously while glancing at Pikko, who was carrying both Liana and Gloria.

”Pikko~” Javier called out teasingly. ”Youʼre carrying both of them. Are they heavy?.”

Liana immediately frowned. ”Young Master! I am not heavy!”

Gloria giggled behind her hand. ”Ara~ Perhaps heʼs implying something about you, Liana.”

”Chill, girl! Iʼm just saying,” Javier replied, his grin growing wider.

Liana narrowed her eyes and guided Pikko closer to Buddy. ”Oh? Is that so, Young Master?”

Without warning, both Liana and Gloria leaned over and pinched Javier on his waist simultaneously.

”Eeeeekkk!!! Iʼm sorry! Iʼm sorry!!!” Javier yelped, squirming atop Buddy, who squawked loudly, startled by his masterʼs sudden outburst.

Liana smiled smugly. ”Hmph. Thatʼs what you get.”

Gloria laughed softly. ”Ara~ He wonʼt learn, but itʼs fun to keep him in check.”

Liana looked at Javier sternly. ”Young Master, letʼs stop by the marketplace first. We need to buy some seasoning for your meat.”

Javierʼs face lit up instantly. ”Okay!!! Buddy, letʼs go!! Ehehehe!”

As Buddy squawked in excitement, Liana raised her hand firmly. ”Donʼt try to leave us, Young Master.”

Javier pouted. ”But...”

”No but,” Liana interrupted, her tone firm. ”If you do that, I will make sure none of us”—she gestured toward herself and Gloria—”accompany you sleeping tonight.”

Javier gasped dramatically, gripping Buddyʼs reins tighter. ”Okay, okay, jeez... You two are too scary sometimes.”

Gloria smirked, leaning slightly toward Liana. ”Ara~ Thatʼs a very effective method, Liana. You should use it more often.”

Liana smiled knowingly. ”I know my Young Master too well.”

Javier grumbled under his breath, ”Itʼs not fair when they team up against me...”

Buddy let out a low squawk, as if in agreement, while Pikko walked beside him, looking calm and collected.

While riding their Pekkos through the marketplace, Javier noticed a commotion up ahead. Two girls in tattered clothes were surrounded by a group of big, muscle-bound men, their voices booming in frustration.

”I told you before—no begging here!” a deep, gruff voice snapped.

Javierʼs sharp ears caught the exchange before his eyes did. Turning his gaze toward the source of the commotion, he spotted a group of broad-shouldered men surrounding two girls. The older girl, barely in her teens, held the younger one protectively, her face pale with fear. Their clothes were tattered, and their arms were thin—clear signs of hardship.

”And this one here—she stole that meat!” one of the men growled, pointing at the smaller girl, who clung to her sisterʼs waist, trembling.

The older girlʼs voice wavered. ”We… weʼre just hungry… Please…”

The lead manʼs expression hardened. ”Itʼs not just you whoʼs hungry! Others are struggling too, but they donʼt steal! Rules are rules! Youʼre coming with us to the guards!”

The girls fell to their knees, pleading. ”No, please! Spare us! Please!”

A few spectators watched in silence, murmuring among themselves. Some looked sympathetic, while others shook their heads.

Javierʼs grip on Buddyʼs reins tightened slightly. He tilted his head, observing the scene unfold with mild curiosity. Letting out a small sigh, he gracefully slid down from Buddyʼs saddle.

Adopting the perfect posture of a refined noble, he casually approached the group, his expression composed yet unreadable—a mix of curiosity and mild amusement. Liana and Gloria, sensing his intent, followed a step behind, standing just close enough to remind everyone of his status.

”My, what a troubling sight,” Javier said, his tone smooth and courteous, as if he had simply stumbled upon an unfortunate misunderstanding. ”I couldnʼt help but overhear. Might I inquire whatʼs happening here?”

The group of men turned to him, their expressions briefly hardening at the interruption—until their eyes landed on the emblem stitched onto his uniform.

”What do you want, young lord?” one of the men asked, his voice gruff but careful.

Javier smiled faintly, his expression composed yet unreadable. ”Ah, just a student from the academy. I happened to overhear a bit of your conversation and found myself curious.”

The older girl lowered her head, tears brimming in her eyes as she clutched her sister closer.

The man hesitated before gesturing to the girls. ”These two. Beggingʼs one thing, but stealing? That meat wasnʼt theirs, and now theyʼre trying to weasel their way out of it. Itʼs against the rules, young lord.”
