I Am The Game's Villain

"Hmpf! Do you think, just because that good-for-nothing Edward is your owner, you can do whatever you want?"

Teen snorted as he glanced down at Milleia and Jayden cleaning below.

A smirk appeared on his face as he lowered his hand toward Milleia's defenseless figure.

"You are sure cocky for a mere viscount's son."

"!"

He stopped and froze when he saw the owner of the voice.

"Hey, look, it's Edward!"

"Is he gonna fight?!"

"Don't know but I heard he is weak anyway!"

"It's not about that anymore! Teen clearly insulted Edward and he heard it!"

"Let's see what happens!"

"Edward…"

Teen glared at the grey-haired handsome boy before him.

'That son of b*tch. How dare he give me that look? I'm the son of the most powerful Duke.'

Edward felt extremely irritated when lesser nobles were giving him that look, even more so when the said guy was a trash like Teen. With Edward's pride as noble and Nyrel's arrogance, the 'blended' Edward felt just the envy to crush Teen on the spot.

[<Amael, your emotions are confused, you should rest a little.>]

'I'm fine.'

Edward replied and walked until reaching Teen.

""Edward?""

Jayden and Milleia stood up with an awkward smile.

They thought of taking a table for the two of them and Edward, but right when they found an empty table, three of their classmates came and pushed them.

"What's your name again?"

Edward asked while exaggeratedly cupping his ear as if he was deaf.

The whole first floor fell into silence, waiting for Teen's answer.

None of his two cronies dared to answer.

Edward was the son of a Duke and something was off about his current behavior. From what they heard, Edward was proud but still a little coward in the end. He was scared of fights…

"Edward, you were disowned by your father. You aren't scaring anyone with your current status."

Though Teen said that in a confident tone, he was sweating inside. It was really his chance now. Either, like he heard, Edward was a coward and he could humiliate him, earning quite a reputation, or either…

-Bam!

Edward kicked Teen's leg and before Teen could fall head-first on the ground, Edward threw a right uppercut. Everything happened in less than two seconds. No one could react.

-BAM!

Teen flew away and broke the table where a few girls were eating.

"Kyyaaa!"

"Ah!"

"S-Step back!"

Everyone stepped back.

Those who were eating left their table as well.

A commotion started.

Milleia was covering her mouth in shock, while Jayden had a nervous smile on his face as he looked at Edward walking toward the fallen Teen.

"I asked his name but he refused to answer me, who is way, way, way, way higher in the nobles' hierarchy. I'm asking you what is his freaking name?"

""Hiiii!""

His two friends flinched when Edward turned his calm yet cold amber eyes to them.

"T-Teen! Teen Masta!"

One replied bravely.

"Teen? Teen Masta?"

Edward looked down at Teen who was covering his bleeding mouth.

"Don't know any nobles with that name."

Edward let out a long sigh before staring at Teen.

"A nobody from a god who knows noble house is showing such an attitude toward the elder son of Duke Falkrona?"

Edward raised his foot high before everyone's shocked eyes.

"Edward Falkrona, that's enough."

"Hm?"

***

[Edward]

"Edward Falkrona, that's enough."

Just when I was thinking of breaking one of Teen's legs, I was stopped.

"Hm?"

I turned my head and saw a auburn-haired, stunning girl. Her shining hazel eyes were like piercing holes through me. She was wearing the pinafore uniform, revealing her lean white legs. Her auburn hair was tied in french-braid style.

Louisa Trueheart…

A [Sub-Heroine] of the First Game and also the Student Council's President of the Eden Academy. Of course, she wouldn't stay still in front of such acts.

"Louisa…"

"Fights are prohibited outside friendly matches and Eden Battles with the authorization of a Professor."

"I'm not fighting though? I just tripped and my hand slipped."

I raised my hands innocently.

"....."

A death silence lingered on the first floor.

Louisa's expression didn't change at all–or so people would think, but I saw her eyes twitching a little at my words.

"Then why is your leg raised above him?"

-Ding!

[A] I needed to wipe my shoes. [100 AP]

[B] I was stretching myself. [30 AP]

[C] I wanted to break his leg. [150 AP]

[D] When I saw your beautiful face, I jumped and ended up like that. [250 AP]

"..."

What the hell is that?

I wanted to spit out like an honest man that I wanted to break his leg, but some choices appeared on my screen like in the game.

'Jarvis, 'AP', it means-'

[Affection Points. Yes. Little reminder, you have less than a week to repay 440 Affection Points you borrowed for the mask.]

Yeah, that shitty mask.

I snorted inwardly and looked again at the choices.

Honesty could bring me 150 AP while attempting a seduction on Louisa will be 250 huh…

Seduction? Louisa?

I glanced at Louisa, whose beautiful face didn't look good because of my lack of answer.

Let's not take the D choice.

[<Coward.>]

'Shut up.'

"Edward…"

Milleia…

She was looking at me worriedly.

Sigh…

"Oh, that's because I needed a mat to wipe my shoes, you see."

I wiped my shoes on the Teen's blazer.

"Edward."

Louisa called out to me.

She was truly angry now at my insolent attitude.

I was like that before as well, but it was worse now. She probably thought that.

Louisa, in my childhood we were getting along rather well, but after my mother's death and the incident in the Trueheart family, we both changed. I have barely talked to her in the past years because of her personality, but since she has known me for years, she still allowed herself to talk to me like that, using my name, which she would never do with a complete stranger.

"This guy pushed Milleia and Jayden. Their food had spilled. I happened to be here, so as a noble I had to humble him, which I had done, right guys?"

"Y-Yes!!"

His two henchemen nodded vehemently when I looked at them.

The power of status for you.

[<It's more like you scared them.>]

'Scared? How can they be in Eden if they are scared just of that?'

"Is this true?"

Louisa asked.

""Yes…""

Milleia and Jayden nodded.

"..."

Louisa closed her eyes as if thinking, then she opened them.

"The First Year, Basilisk Class will be deducted from Eden Points for the trouble they caused."

She swept her gaze between me and Teen before leaving.

Thankfully, none of the other [Main Character] bothered to come, otherwise it would have been annoying to deal with all of them.

Now that guy.

"Are you glad, Pasta?"

I looked down at him.

"I-It's Masta!"

"Because of you, we lost Eden Points on the first day."

I crouched down to align my eyes with his.

He tried to avert his eyes but I grabbed his cheeks to force him to look at me.

"You are just an ant for me. I don't have time to play with guys like you. I'm already busy enough with bigger third-rate villains. Either you work on your pathetic self and provide for our class or either you choose to play the angry villain and…"

I smiled and tapped his cheeks.

[<You didn't finish?>]

'That's what we call intimidation. He will keep making assumptions about the end of my words and will choose to remain like a good boy to avoid anything dangerous for him.'

[<You are without doubt an antagonist.>]

My smile twitched at Cleenah's words.

I just helped my friends' useless Goddess.

"Let's find a table. I'm hungry."

I stood up and said to Milleia and Jayden.

" B-But-"

Milleia wanted to clean the ground again.

"The cleaning staff should be there. You shouldn't rob their job, they will be angry."

"I don't think they will be angry, rather they will be gratef-"

"What are you doing, Lyra? Won't you leave for the fifth floor?"

I cut off Lyra, who appeared out of nowhere.

"No! Too much pressure there!"

I smiled at her words.

She was right.

The fifth floor was filled with the [Main Characters], problems were bound to happen there…

….

….

"Let me introduce myself. I'm Lyra Kertalir. You can call me Lyra."

We soon found an empty table, since people who were there ran away when we approached.

Lyra sat with us and started a conversation with Milleia and Jayden.

Well, I had nothing against that, rather it was good for us. Lyra was strong so she could help our class to rise in the ranks.

Moreover, she was a [Sub-Heroine]. If Jayden played well, he could seduce her. He was already fidgeting in her presence anyway. Contrary to Milleia's innocent charm, Lyra had that noble one.

"I'm Milleia, Lady Lyra."

"J-Jayden Rayena, Lady Lyra.

"Hey! Remove the 'lady'!"

"But you are the daughter of a Marquis…"

Milleia said hesitantly.

"We are in the academy and we are fellow classmates! I ask you to treat me like any ordinary girl."

Lyra asked with a tomboyish smile.

""Y-Yes!""

Of course, Jayden and Lyra happily accepted.

They never had nobles' friends or school friends, so they were overjoyed to have made a friend in the most prestigious academy of the Celesta Kingdom.
