Chapter 6 : The Villainess’s Special Ability

“I’m sorry! I will educate her again!”

“What about my wounded heart…?”

While looking at Eve and Lucy, who were apologizing repeatedly, I hinted that there was one way to ease my heart, and they promised to do anything.

It’s going according to plan.

“It looks like we’re going to be late, so let’s hurry.”

“Understood, Miss.”

“I’m sorry…”

After saying that I would forgive them with a generous heart, I moved to the classroom to attend the morning lecture.

When I entered the magic theory and practice classroom, a chaotic atmosphere was in the air.

What’s going on?

At that time, Professor Cesari Soleil came in.

Today, I hope she’ll have a lecture that fits the magic theory and ‘practice.’

Theory is so boring.

“Good morning, everyone. Then, shall we start today’s interesting theory lecture?”

Ah, my life is over.

“Before explaining magic theory, we need to know about mana, right? In short, it’s an energy source for using magic…….”

The lecture, which lasted for two hours, was enough to wipe out the students.

Of course, our Eve and Lucy are exceptions.

Eve and Lucy always do their best, no matter what.

I barely survived while holding back my sleepiness.

“Everyone except for three students will receive demerits. To be dozing off during the lecture…. This year’s freshmen are serious.”

The professor sighed and left the classroom.

It seems that I’m completely marked.

I got up from my seat and moved to the elemental magic classroom, which was the next class.

When I entered the classroom, the professor was waiting for us.

I was about to check the time, thinking that I was late for a moment, but she approached me naturally.

“You’re not late, so take your seat.”

“Yes, Professor.”

At the moment I was about to pass the professor to sit down.

She grabbed my hand tightly.

“Have you thought about it?”

“Umm, I’m sorry. Professor Bellia Snake also recommended it.”

“What!? That snake-like guy dares to touch my student!”

With those words, she ran out of the classroom.

Who’s going to lecture now.

A little while later, the 2nd-year teaching assistant senior came to the classroom and told us that today’s lecture was canceled.

When I checked the senior, who had dark circles under their eyes, it’s definitely true that being a teaching assistant is not the answer.

Since the lecture was canceled, I went to the cafeteria early to eat lunch, and an unexpected situation occurred.

There are no seats.

“I’m sorry. We’ll let you know as soon as a seat becomes available.”

I was about to wait for a moment, as the waiter said, but I saw a familiar face over there.

Coincidentally, three people were using a six-seater table, and the number of people was perfect.

When I got closer, Clea, who found me, glared at me.

“What is it!? What’s wrong!?”

“Can we join you? Thank you!”

“I don’t want to!?”

When I joined them naturally, Clea and the two female students were horrified.

After saying thank you for accepting us, Clea, who was getting angry, asking when I had given permission, said that she didn’t need it when I said that I would repay her next time, and then she got angry again.

I feel like she’s getting annoyed often these days, but I told her that stress is not good for the skin, and she had a dumbfounded expression.

Clea and the female students got up first as soon as the food came out.

They rejected my suggestion to take a walk together after finishing the meal and left with a single stroke.

How heartless.

After helping Lucy, who was awkwardly cutting her food, and finishing the meal, I changed my clothes and headed to the training grounds.

While waiting for the magical combat class, I found Clea. When I quietly approached and grabbed her waist, she was startled and shouted.

“Hiiik!? What are you doing?”

“I was sulking because you left first at the cafeteria earlier.”

“Don’t sulk over something like that! More than that, why are you like this these days!?”

When I slightly raised my eyes, she flinched.

“Do you really not know?”

“N, no, I don’t know!”

Why, it’s because there’s a reason.

In the novel, Clea gets frustrated with her talent and goes down a bad path, and in the end, she is destined to oppose the main character and be defeated.

I couldn’t just stand by and watch that future approach.

It’s impossible to save everyone, but I have to protect at least the people around me.

That’s the best revenge I can take on the original novel.

I’m going to destroy everything, just you wait.

I naturally put my arm around Clea’s waist, and her face turned red.

“You know, I….”

“Wh, what am I!?”

Thanks to Professor Bellia Snake coming in, I stopped talking in the middle and went back to my seat.

Then Clea was looking at me with a blank gaze.

More than that, the professor’s complexion doesn’t look good…?

After looking at me intently, she sighed and muttered in a small voice, ‘What did that child do wrong.’

What happened?

Could it be that the professor in charge went to question her…?

“Okay, today’s class has called the second-year students to objectively confirm your skills.”

With those words, several students appeared, and their badge colors were different.

The 1st graders are wearing a red badge, the 2nd graders are wearing a blue badge, and the 3rd graders are wearing a black badge.

The seniors were all wearing blue badges.

On top of that, she brought the Class A students from the 2nd graders and said that we should have a friendly match.

“Aria Terez, will you go first?”

After hearing those words, I naturally moved to the seniors’ side.

The seniors, who were looking at me with puzzled eyes as I pushed my way in.

“Th, junior…? Why did you come here?”

“I will stand on the seniors’ side.”

“……..”

I don’t fight losing battles.

The 1st graders were looking at my actions with dumbfounded expressions.

Especially Eve and Lucy’s eyes are a sight to behold.

The professor sighed and shook her head, and then gestured for me to go over there.

I had no choice but to go back to the 1st graders and explained that it was for the purpose of gathering information, but no one believed me.

Especially Clea was glaring at me with scornful eyes.

“You’re the worst.”

“Thank you for the compliment.”

“That’s not a compliment!?”

The seniors were covering their mouths and giggling at our appearance.

The professor pinched her forehead and urged me to come forward quickly.

Reluctantly, I walked out to the center of the training grounds, and a senior with silver hair and red eyes came forward.

“Aria Terez.”

“Ruby Ceres.”

While scanning Ruby-senpai, a beauty with a cold impression, and estimating her three sizes, I heard the sound of a whistle.

At the same time, she drew the sword that was hanging on her waist and charged.

• I quickly spread a barrier to block the attack and buy time.

While examining Ruby-senpai, who was struggling with the strong defense, I found out her exact measurements.

“167cm, 52kg, and 88, 55, 85 from top to bottom, right?”

As soon as I finished speaking, Ruby-senpai’s sword fell and was stuck in the ground.

‘Thwack!’

“……”

She was outwardly calm, but it was noticeable that her fingertips were trembling slightly.

When I took a step closer to Ruby-senpai, she began to retreat.

Like a dangerous beast.

“Senpai, the match won’t end if you run away.”

“D, don’t come closer….”

In the end, she took refuge behind the seniors, and even the professor sighed.

Why is she doing that?

“Th. Today, you don’t look like you’re in good condition, so go back and rest.”

“I’m fine, Professor.”

“What I mean is, I’m not fine.”

I had no choice but to step back, and the other students continued their sparring.

When I snuggled into Eve’s arms with a dejected look, I took comfort in her warm touch.

“Miss, you were too much.”

“I just said what I saw.”

“Not everyone has that talent.”

While I was being comforted in Eve’s arms, it was finally our main character Lucy’s turn.

Lucy faced the senior with a determined look.

She had a special power suitable for the main character in the novel, which was the magic of brilliant light.

Light magic is a precious magic that can only be used by those with innate talent, and it is a fatal weakness for dark mages.

In front of Lucy, who was pouring out attacks while emitting a dazzling light, the senior was helplessly pushed back.

But if she loses, her dignity as a senior will fall to the ground. She somehow created an opening and aimed for Lucy’s blind spot.

“Stop!”

At the professor’s cry, the sparring ended without any injuries, and everyone gathered in one place.

“Give your thanks to the seniors who gave us their precious time.”

“Thank you, seniors!”

“We had fun too, juniors.”

In the midst of a warm atmosphere, I approached Ruby-senpai stealthily.

Then, she gestured as if she would run away.

“I hope to see you often in the future.”

“N, no way!”

I was disappointed that she didn’t know my true feelings.
