Surviving as a Villain at the Academy

66 – Change and Awareness. (3)

Aris looked up at Lancel’s mansion with her trembling heart.

Not long ago, this was a place she would stop by on her way home, but after that incident, just looking at this place made her heart pound.

At first, I remembered the terrible thoughts of that time.

And as time passed, she was so sad about her broken relationship with him.

The place that I always felt comfortable in has now become a place that is not comfortable at all.

There were many reasons, but she still felt her heart hurt a little.

Is it right to go in? She struggled.

She already knew. Even if she enters here, there is no way she will be welcomed.

She might just be thankful that they didn’t kick her out. But at least…… I wanted to at least apologize.

And although it may not be possible in the future to be like before, please do not ignore it completely.

This whole situation happened because she gave him space and didn’t even recognize her own feelings properly.

Prach’s sin was much bigger than hers, and there was a way to live without seeing him any more, but she couldn’t do that.

As always, Prah was someone who could not be replaced by anyone.

Change is bound to be painful in many ways. She thought that was the situation now. I know he doesn’t like me anymore.

On the contrary, she came to like him. She will definitely get hurt in that gap. Still, it didn’t matter. Because I already found out. Her world absolutely needed him.

Other people are fine. It wasn’t that important. If anyone saw her, they might think she was mentally ill. She’s a crazy b*tch who loved the guy who tried to rape her.

But Aris was okay. Because the evaluations of unimportant people, whether mentally ill or whatever, no longer have any influence on her life.

More than such an assessment, the fact that Prah was not by her side, the absence of his warm golden gaze, was even more fatal to her life.

If I was afraid of hearing bad words from Lancel’s people, I wouldn’t have come here.

She took her steps and approached the guard guarding Lancel’s mansion. The guard naturally knew about Aris Winslet and immediately reported it.

“Please wait a moment.”

There was no such procedure in the past. The mere sight of her would cause the guard to open the door. At their changed attitude, she felt a cold chill running down her forearm.

Still, there was nothing I could do. Because it was an instant for something to change over time.

What was truly fortunate was that the door to the mansion opened not long after.

“Welcome to Lancel’s mansion. Aris Winslet.”

After hearing a formal greeting, she bowed her head slightly and entered the interior of her mansion.

When I entered the reception room, I saw the same scenery as before. This place is the same. Memories of playing around with Prah here in the past came back to me.

After a while, the servant of her mansion brought her tea and told her that Prah would be coming soon. She nodded her head as if she understood.

That brief wait before Prah comes.

Aris felt his heart pounding like crazy. What will he say when he sees her again? Should I coldly ask why you came, or should I tell you to get off right away?

No matter how I thought about it, no positive reaction came to mind. That’s because it was a broken relationship.

To be honest, I might be grateful just for letting me into the mansion. At least it gave me a chance to apologize.

It is his choice whether to accept an apology or not…… Still, she thought she should offer her apology first.

Because she was aware of her feelings for him, she knew how patient he was with her and how much he cared about her. She also realized how much her actions that did not want to lose him ended up hurting him.

At the end, she went wild and did something terrible…… Now I could understand him. Why he said she was bad.

I wanted to apologize for that too.

How long has it been? The feeling that was gradually subsiding soon subsided with the sound of the door opening.

And what is revealed is soft, light blonde hair. It was blonde hair with a slight scarlet tint, with the color of the sun completely removed.

Aris was very nervous, and she looked at his face. And she looked at his face.

There was a faint smile in the air.

When she heard that Aris Winslet was standing at the front door of her mansion, she was in the middle of rolling around in bed. Asti was reading a book at her desk.

Now, it wasn’t that special for Asti to be in my room, so the employees just didn’t care about Asti.

“Aris came?”

“Yes.”

Why did you come?

“Tell her she’s coming down soon. “I will guide you to the living room.”

“I understand.”

The servant bowed his head and stepped back.

“What should I do? “Why don’t you just throw it away?”

“You can’t do that. Aris will play an important role in the future I see.”

“…… “He has excellent magical talent.”

It seems Asti’s eyes could see her magical talent.

“It’s not usually outstanding. So I can’t throw it away hastily. Anyway, Aris is one of the heroes who will save the world.”

“That’s true, but.”

“Aris, she’s probably in a very emotionally distressed state right now. If you just leave it like that, he won’t be able to show off his skills. “The mental element is important in unleashing her talent.”

She nodded her head with a disapproving expression.

“The relationship with Aris now needs to go in a slightly more positive direction.”

“Why?”

“Because a lot has changed. I will maintain my attitude of helping them grow, but I have no intention of pushing them mentally. “That’s not a very good direction.”

Rather than making your mind exhausted and trying to overcome it, it would be more helpful to maintain a positive mentality. Because a devastated mind slows down growth.

There was no change in imposing hardships on the guys, but I had no intention of touching their mental aspect. Now.

The original story has changed, and the path the protagonist and his party should follow has become increasingly unclear. I had to lead that unclear path properly. At the very least, we need a lot of people who are strong against threats in the world.

And they were guaranteed strong people. Although it was a story from the future, it will compete for supremacy in this worldview as far as growth potential is concerned.

“Then what? Are you planning on being kind to Aris again like before?”

“Kindness, not harsh, but…… At least I have no intention of treating you coldly or ignoring you. Okay. It would be better to maintain at least a friendship level. However, behind the scenes, they will be subject to a reasonable ordeal.”

“If you get caught, won’t it be a bigger problem?”

“That could be possible. Still…… “At least on the outside, I don’t want to mess with their spirit.”

Probably, my attitude now is quite contradictory. This is because the attitude of pretending to be a villain for them has changed.

At first, I tried to arouse their hostility. Because their hostility toward me will soon become a means to strengthen them.

But now the original has been distorted so much. So much so that even the final boss of the chapter changes.

In this situation, you don’t know what variables will pop out. There was a possibility that additional variables threatening the main character’s group might appear, and someone who could take care of the main character’s spirit in an uncontrolled situation was also needed.

Furthermore, if I maintain the role of a villain and erode their spirit…… They will definitely be broken in some way.

In order to prevent that situation, it would be better to maintain a good relationship with them, at least as much as is revealed, but to give them trials appropriate for their growth.

And, you should avoid getting caught as much as possible. If I were to find out that I was harassing them behind their backs, it would erode their spirit even more than before.

Of course, he acted like this because he was confident that he would not be caught.

“Ha. Okay. You can take care of it. “Because it’s always been like that.”

Asty looked at me with a slightly annoyed attitude. She raised her eyes slightly and said, pressing my forehead with her index finger.

“But.”

“Huh?”

“Don’t reveal your true self too much. If people know that you are that good, there will be more people clinging to you. “It’s not good for you either, you know?”

“I know. “I’ll take care of myself.”

I spoke to Asty with a slight smile and left to visit.

When I see Aris this time, yes.

It would be better to smile. Because I didn’t want to put any more pressure on her, as her mind was being eroded in many ways by the storyline I had decided on for her.
