Villain Is on Vacation



As the students were immersed in their conversations, they suddenly fell silent as the door to the classroom creaked open.

All eyes turned towards the entrance, as Professor Kevin strode in with a confident gait, his piercing gaze scanning the room as he took in the sight of his students.

"Good morning, everyone," Kevin said, his voice firm and clear, filling the room.

"Good morning, Professor Kevin!" the students replied in unison, eager for the day's class.

"I hope you're all ready for some intense combat practice today. We have a lot to cover, and I expect nothing but your best effort," Kevin said clearly, his eyes scanning the room.

The students nodded, some with excitement and some with a bit of trepidation, knowing that the class would be challenging.

"Let's go, it's time for class. Follow me," Kevin commanded, leading the way to the training area.

Soon, they entered a vast space with various training equipment and obstacles, perfect for combat practice. Kevin walked to the center of the area, where all the students could see him clearly.

"So now, after observing your performance in the VR dungeon, I have noticed something. Most of you have too poor stamina, especially mages and some special individuals. A good warrior or mage needs a good body. So, from now on, you all have to do physical training every day," Kevin explained, his eyes sweeping across the students.

The students' faces fell, realizing that the training would be more intense than they had initially thought. Kevin continued, "And here is a mana-restriction bracelet. You all have to wear it. You can't use mana to enforce your body."

He distributed the bracelets to every student, and some of them looked pale and nervous, except for a few who seemed to be taking it all in stride.

"Now, first we will start with running. Let's begin," Kevin said, and the students started running, sweat already pouring down their faces.

After an hour, most of the mages were on the floor, exhausted. Only a few students were still running, including Ken, James and a particular girl.

"Okay. Stop," Kevin called out, and they all stopped running, gasping for air.

"Let's meet tomorrow, here," Kevin said, before leaving the training area.

"Ken, you sure have good stamina," James commented, impressed by his friend's performance.

"Huff...hah...huff...you...too," Ken replied, barely able to catch his breath.

Amy, a muscular girl with short dark red hair, came over to them, complimenting Ken on his stamina.

"Although you look like weakling however you sure have good stamina." Amy said.

Amy was a striking girl with short, fiery red hair that framed her sharp features. Her body was a testament to her athletic prowess, with toned muscles and curves that made even the boys feel a bit envious.

Her C-D sized chest added to her already stunning figure, making her the epitome of an athletic beauty.

Her face was angular and defined, with piercing green eyes that seemed to hold a spark of mischief.

Her full lips were usually curved up in a friendly smile, making her even more approachable.

After complimenting Ken, She left to help another student who had fallen to the ground.

As the students left the training area, some were whispering about the tough training they had just experienced. Ben, in particular, stared fiercely at Ken, feeling envious of his performance and how he was praised by a beauty.

Martha, on the other hand, looked unphased by the training, having stopped running earlier because she found it boring. 

"Lucky you, Ken. She is famous muscle beauty Amy Duras. She is ranked 5th among the freshman this year. You sure are a worthy friend of mine," James said, slapping Ken on the back as they left the training area, their bodies aching from the intense physical exercise.

In a dormitory room of the Academy, there was a red-haired girl named Lily Rochegne, who was engrossed in staring at the screen while sucking on a lollipop with two pigtails on either side of her head.

As she was staring at the screen, she couldn't believe that a man had sent her another copyright claim.

She knew it was within the laws, but she couldn't help but wonder how the man had found out that she had sold his photos, videos, and songs without his permission.

She felt disappointed because even though the money she earned from it was meager, it was still her source of income.

She gave up thinking about it, realizing that she couldn't do anything about it, and instead shifted her focus on finding a new source of income.

If only Lily knew not only Rain gave her copyright claim for selling his photos, videos, songs, etc., but he also used her opportunity to make money through the elixir recipe that she would have discovered, she would have surely cursed Rain to death.

But instead of dwelling on the past, Lily decided to focus on finding new ways to make money. She came up with the idea of launching merchandise in the name of "NightSoul," and decided to send a contract to Rain proposing a partnership. Lily believed that they could both invest money in materials and share the profits equally.

With determination, Lily quickly began to draft an electronic contract, her fingers tapping rapidly on the keyboard. After a few minutes, the contract was ready, and she reviewed it, satisfied with the terms.

She smiled as she e-mailed the contract and additional information to Rain, feeling hopeful that he would agree to the proposal.

[Rain's POV]

Rain was sitting in his room, listening to lectures and trying to focus on his studies.

Suddenly, he felt a vibration on his wrist and saw a notification on his smartwatch. He wondered who could be messaging him at this time of the day, and then he noticed that he had received an email from someone named Lily.

Rain was curious about the email, and he opened it to find a proposal for a business partnership with Lily.

After that he started reading it.

"Wow. It's good proposal. I also wanted to launch my merch, but I didn't have anyone to manage it. The idea of sharing 50/50 profit while investing money together was also good. I would have agreed for this proposal If only it was sent by someone else." However, Lily was different case. Rain had some good idea for fun, he had a evil smile on his face.

He started typing something on his laptop and sent to Lily.

[Lily's POV]

She felt a sense of anticipation and nervousness as she waited for his response. She hoped that he would agree to the proposal and that they could start working together soon. However soon she got a reply from Rain.

She was curious so started reading it. 

"Oh, you are that girl who sold my things around. Thanks for giving me money.

And about merchandise, thanks about giving that idea, too. I kinda forgot that. Now I will launch it soon. You don't have to worry about it, I will not give you a single coin from the sellings."

After reading the email, Lily clenched her small fists in frustration. The tension in her body was palpable as she tried to control her emotions.

In that moment, the lollipop in her mouth broke under the pressure of her teeth.

*CRACK*

"This guy is openly mocking me. I will show you what I can do. I will destroy...."

Just when Lily was thinking about how to destroy Rain. Another email came.

"Hey. You wanna destroy me.

However can you even find me?

Do you even know where I am?

And children should not think about things like violence. They should eat lollipop and play in park. So they can grow properly."

This time, all hell break loose.

"YOU BASTARD!! HOW DARE YOU MAKE FUN OF MEEE!!" She roared in anger. Just when she was going to block Rain, another email come.

Although she was angry she still read it.

"Don't be angry. Let me give you something. How about 80/20 profit from sales? Feel honoured."

Lily was now having hard time to control her anger. 'Feel honoured' sounded like he was taking her as a peasant.

"Don't be angry like child. How about 55/45 ratio. 55% mine and rest is yours. But you have to manage everything and thanks for agreeing. Bye Bee."

After reading this, Lily somewhat gained her rationality.

"This is good offer. Okay I will agree with this." She sent reply to the email.

"Just you wait. When I meet you in future I will crush you." She mumbled.

"And what is Bye Bee? Is this the new trend?" She started searching about the term.

[Rain's POV]

"It would have been great If I could see her expression." Rain chuckled.

"Still it's good opportunity for me to make some money.

Although Lily is like money grubber but she is still Future Merchant Queen. With her expertise I will make more money." Rain was expecting good amount of money.

He thought that with the money he will earn, he can get more system points and get stronger faster.
