The Villain's Story

Coming back to the place we had just teleported from, I could feel dozens of eyes on me.

Watching my every move.

Scanning my surroundings, Nobody was there, yet I could feel them looking at me.

They could see me, Yet I couldn’t see them.

‘Shit.’

I was regretting using a portal. Well, I couldn’t do anything about it now. So I just walked forward into the main shopping district.

I was planning on buying manga, Game consoles, a camera, and some other things I needed,

But first.

I needed to get something to eat.

My stomach was killing me.

Going Into a convenience store, I bought a bag of chips and cola

Did the taste of cola change after so many years?

After paying for the things at the counter, I went to the mall.

On the way there, I opened the bottle and bag of chips.

Taking a sip from the bottle, I thought.

‘Nope, still the damn same.’

I didn’t feel any major changes to the ordinary cola I had drunk in my previous life.

Not thinking of it any further.

I entered the mall.

“Is the rank 1st ignoring us or is he not home?”

“Probably not home.”

Standing outside of the first-year rank first students’ room were two boys.

One of them Had bright orange hair and scarlet eyes. While the Other had hair that looked like ash and the same color eyes.

The two standing in front were the first year second and third-rank students Elijah Ardor and Henry Fornum.

They had wanted to get along with the first rank…and also to confirm some rumors about his rank but their main objective was to become friends.

They had already been here for a while.

The card scanner of the door was red, indicating that the student inside was either gone or had requested not to be disturbed.

Despite knowing this, Elijah and Henry still knocked on the door multiple times to see if the student inside just didn’t want to be disturbed.

And they were about to give up.

10 minutes here and absolutely nothing to be gained.

Elijah had wanted to make friends here. However, he forgot to account for the fact that almost everyone at Shield Was from an influential family or organization and had an arrogance befitting their background.

They wanted to be friends with him first for his rank but after being told about his humble background. They cursed at him and left.

Henry was the only successful friend he had made here.

They both were curious about the first rank of shield and we’re here to see him.

But unfortunately, The rumored Amazing first rank was nowhere to be found.

So they could only sigh and go on towards the elevator.

“Do you wanna check who lives below?”

Suddenly, As they got on, Henry asked Elijah A question.

“Hmm? Do you know who it is?”

Elijah asked Henry with a little bit of excitement in his voice, And Henry answered vaguely

“A beauty!”

“…is that the only thing on your mind?”

“Dude I’m serious, The one living below is the heir to the Wellington family. Sabrina Wellington.”

Elijah’s eyes widened but he soon composed himself and asked him a question.

“Isn’t she just going to be another arrogant prick then?”

“Well, I don’t know but hey what’s wrong with trying?”

“You just wanna see your chances with her right?”

Henry stopped looking at Elijah and looked away.

Inwardly, Elijah Sighed. .𝘤𝘰𝑚

‘Ah, Well, Worth a shot.’

Thinking to himself, he decided it would be okay to try and so said to Henry.

“…fine, but after this let’s just go to the arcade.”

“Ok!”

Henry replied with enthusiasm in his voice.

And they soon went down a floor and knocked on the only door on the floor.

*Knock!*Knock!*Knock!*

After that, they waited for a while and soon the door opened.

Standing Infront of them was someone who truly fit the definition of ‘Beauty’

With Obsidian Black Hair with golden tips that went down to the waist. Eyes that were like amethyst and a face and figure so perfect that seemed to have been carved by the Goddess of beauty herself.

The two boys instantly froze on the spot.

There was an awkward silence between the three of them.

Sabrina was going to close the door after seeing none of them respond.

Just as she was about to, Henry quickly mustered up the courage to ask.

“Ahh, Wait! We want to be friends with you! You know because we’re all in the same dorm building and all!”

“Okay.”

The girl replied without putting much thought into it.

Hearing her reply, Henry became excited and asked her.

“Uhh, thanks uhh, we’re going to the arcade, wanna come?”

“No.”

His face froze at the immediate rebuttal.

Mustering up his courage he asked.

“May I ask please ask why?”

“I already went.”

“Ahh, but that time you were alone! No one can have fun at the arcade alone!”

The girl paused. Truthfully she had already gone with someone to explore the place, Although she didn’t know what an arcade was, She couldn’t go anywhere without her bodyguard.

And her bodyguard was currently back in district D and at the mall.

She could call him but she decided to not be so pushy and let both have their time alone.

She wanted to rest and who knows what her bodyguard was doing. So to deter the two in front of her. She said.

“I already went with someone before.”

Henry’s face froze at the mention of ‘someone’.

Elijah on the other hand, who was also silent the entire time also shook.

Henry, who, while still being flustered, asked in a shaky voice.

“…Can I know who you went with?”

‘Please be a girl, Please be a girl!’

He hoped for that to be her answer.

Sabrina Was troubled, Although she did not show it on her face. She didn’t want anybody to know she had a bodyguard assigned to her. So she just told them his name.

“I went with Allan.”

They both stood still.

It was as if both of their minds and hearts had suffered a heavy blow.

“…ah, I see, We’ll take our leave now.Goodbye.”

Henry said to her while dragging Elijah, Who had turned to stone, away.

“Goodbye.”

The girl replied and shut her door.

When she disappeared, Elijah Regained his composure and said.

“…So-”

“Shut it.”

Henry had shut him down before he could even say what he wanted to say.

Elijah looked at his friend, Who had a look of sorrow on his face, and said.

“We both got rejected before we even tried mate.”

“I said to shut i-wait, you were interested too?”

Elijah only nodded at him.

They didn’t talk any further.

And they soon went to the arcade to relieve themselves of their rejection.

***

Stepping out of the mall, I had finally bought whatever I needed to.

I had spent a total of 456 thousand studs today. Everything was currently in my inventory.

After I got out of the mall, I went looking for some sort secluded area to open my portal.

What I meant by secluded was for there to be no people

As for cameras? I couldn’t do anything about them. The entire island was full of cameras. There was no space that was free of them, except for the inside of dorms and offices.

As I was walking, I heard a voice that I had expected from behind me.

“Student Allan Peccator.”

‘Finally showed up huh?’

This was of course one of the people that had been watching me from the first time I opened my portal.

He meant no harm, He just had looks of curiosity and wariness towards me, No maliciousness was present.

“Yes?”

I said, trying to look surprised.

“The Headmaster is calling for you.”

“Ok then lead the way.”

I said to him almost immediately.

Considering my rank. I was gonna meet the headmaster no matter what.

Elijah, who was the first rank in the novel had met him on the first day he stepped on the island.

I didn’t know if he met him this time though, considering he was the second rank now.

And even if I wanted to refuse, The man would just knock me out and take me there.

As for escape? The man in front of me was S-Rank, He could fold me in half before I could even take a step or construct a portal.

So I had no choice but to accept.

But I wasn’t wary.

The principal of the shield Was an SS rank hero and was also a great helper and teacher to the protagonists in the novel.

He was one of the nicest men in the novel.

This was the reason I wasn’t wary and agreed to meet him without wasting a second.

“Please follow me.”

The man said, and I began to follow him.

Our destination was District B, where the headmaster’s office was located.

The Office Of the man ranked Third in the hero rankings.

Oliver Olsfer, The Sage.
