Surviving as a Villain at the Academy

68 – Preparation. (1)

The academy has reopened. Since it took almost a month to restore the system, the schedule was pushed back significantly.

In terms of timing, there was not much difference from the original. So, this means that the final exams were also pushed back by a month. If the semester had continued normally, I would have taken the final exam by now.

Anyway, the fact that there wasn’t much difference in time from the original meant that it would be a month before the fallen remains were delivered to the saint.

Asti decided to send the fallen remains to Adrian. Asti would probably be able to deliver the remains to the saint without leaving any trace.

And because Nebiros and Lina took certain measures, the corrupted remains would react and unite when they met a person with powerful divine power.

How on earth did they do something like that? Even when I asked Asti, he just shook his head. It’s not his field of expertise and he doesn’t know much about it.

After hearing that, I thought it was the right choice to bring Lina and Nea to my side.

If the saintess is rescued safely, she will easily enter Chapter 2…… This is because the stage on which the main characters are active in Chapter 2 was the Holy Kingdom.

Why do we need Lina and Nea to go to the Holy Kingdom? The answer was simple.

This is because an incident occurred in the Holy Kingdom and a land of the dead was created there. Chapter 2 was an episode in which the corruption of the Inquisitors and the clergy was clearly revealed, and the rotten parts of the Holy Kingdom were cut out.

The priests of the Holy Kingdom, among them those who extremely followed God’s will, formed a faction, and that faction committed all kinds of inhumane acts.

It is common for innocent people to be burned at the stake, accusing them of being witches, and even fabricating evidence for them. And those who were resentful of their actions began to spring up in droves, and soon a land of the dead was formed on the outskirts of the Holy Kingdom.

The main goal of Chapter 2 was to eliminate the land of the dead and deal with the old monsters of the Holy Kingdom.

So why are we going to the Holy Kingdom? That’s right…… Of course, this was because Seongguk also had an academy.

That’s right. There was a system that allowed outstanding second- and third-year students to interact with Seongguk’s academy. Somehow, it was because the Holy Kingdom and the Empire were inseparable allies.

Although Adrian Deus was from a Holy Kingdom, the fact that he came to the Empire’s Academy rather than the Holy Kingdom’s Academy was all in the name of peace.

Why, isn’t the exchange student episode a story that has been consistently used in previous academy dramas? I just wrote this story once because I was craving it.

I should have written it plainly instead of making it complicated, but…… If we had thought that way from the beginning, we wouldn’t have created a situation where the villain tried to rape the heroine.

In many ways, my hipster sensibility became toxic.

Well, in any case, the most important premise is to safely remove the fallen remains from the saint. When other students were having a hard time with final exams, we had to worry about that first.

When I told Nea about my plan, she nodded willingly. Did he say that what he needed was the bad karma that would occur the moment a modern saint was combined with the remains of a fallen saint?

He smiled confidently, expressing confidence that if he had just that, he would be able to rank quite high among high-ranking devils.

In the end, since she even gave permission to the instigator of the plan, she had to find a way to extinguish only the remains of the fallen saint without much trouble.

The difference from the original work is that the person who combines with the remains is not Lina, but a saint. And her saintly power is so strong that it can’t be compared to Lina’s.

…… I’m in trouble in many ways. In this case, no matter how strong Ruslan became, victory could not be guaranteed.

I didn’t know that I might have to change my plan. Originally, I was planning to just watch in moderation, but it might be better to actively help Ruslan.

I also made some peace with Aris at the time, so unlike before, I will have no problem helping Ruslan. She hasn’t made up with him, but she can at least say that she’s going because she’s worried about Aris.

In that case, I would have to jump directly into the battle, so my own growth was also essential. I’m going to have to beat Asti and Sir Ethan to death.

At most, it could be said to be a month…… One month is enough time to achieve more growth than you think. Especially if I am someone who has become stronger based on Asti’s magical power.

Originally, I wouldn’t have thought of this. I’m helping Ruslan? You’ll be lucky if you don’t get trampled to death like an ant. You must have thought of it this way.

But now, if this world is not going according to the original story, and even my personal potential has fallen into unknown territory, there must be something I can do.

However, helping Ruslan should not slow down his growth. Of course, there was a separate plan. Chapter 2 will be very exciting. At least until Chapter 3, Ruslan must become stronger.

In chapter 3, he had to help Seongguk and point his sword at me and Asti.

I have no intention of being hasty. The final goal of Chapter 3 is to strengthen Ruslan…… Me and Asti’s survival. For that, I’m willing to do anything.

I have absolutely no intention of being skewered to death by Ruslan’s sword, so I will have to prepare hard.

“What are you thinking, Prah?”

As I was engrossed in my thoughts, Asti looked into my face and asked.

“Just, future work…” … “After the final exams are over.”

“If it’s after the final exams, that’s it, right? “Saint.”

“That’s right. “I think I’ll probably have to move with Ruslan then.”

“With them? “Do you really need it?”

Asti looked quite reluctant.

“I can’t help it because the saintess is strong. “If Ruslan loses to the saint or even dies, something terrible will happen.”

“Anyway. I know it’s something that can’t be helped, but…….”

“Originally, I had no intention of helping, but the future has become distorted and I have no choice. “At least I need to see it with my own eyes and lead it in as positive a direction as possible.”

“You are not some kind of babysitter.”

“That’s true, but Ruslan is still weak. He needs to get stronger. It’s still strong enough, but even more so. “I might have to play the role of a helper this time.”

“You were a helper last time too.”

“…… That’s right. But this time, I really plan to actively help. Corrupted remains react to the power of the object they are attached to and further amplify that power. “You saw the power of the dragon last time.”

“It was definitely strong.”

Asti shook her head.

“Okay. The saint is probably quite strong too. So much that Ruslan can’t handle it. So I guess I’ll need some help this time. Of course.”

“Of course?”

“If I overcome the saint safely this time, I plan to find a way to torment him even more. “There are no shortcuts to her becoming stronger.”

I smiled evilly.

“If you thought I would just help him, you were wrong, Asti. I have no intention of becoming friends with this guy. I just think of it as a tool to achieve my goals. Would I help him for no reason? “We are all helping to fight against the devil who will later invade the human world.”

“That’s right. But the next time you harass me, how will you harass me? “The only demons I can think of are Andus and Talan.”

Andus and Talan. Andromalius and Dantalion.

“I know. I didn’t say I was going to use them. “After the final exams were over and the vacation was over, there was an annual event held at the academy.”

“An exchange war?”

“That’s right. “At that time, a pretty big problem broke out in the Holy Kingdom.”

“What kind of big problem is brewing in that damn land?”

Even as he said that, Asti seemed to be in a pretty good mood. It was a natural reaction since she was a guy who didn’t really like Seongguk in the first place.

“The negativity that has been lingering for so long will suddenly explode. “Like fire-type magic explodes.”

“Oh my.”

“At that time, I plan to turn the blame for all the corruption in the Holy Kingdom on Ruslan. Then he will be able to grow without me having to struggle.”

“Is that a good idea?”

“For that to happen, the saint must survive. In the end, most of the problems in the Holy Kingdom are the confrontation between the saint, the Pope, and the corrupt high-ranking officials of the Holy Kingdom. “If a saint dies, the balance will be disrupted and it cannot be done.”

“So you were looking for a saint?”

“That’s right. Originally, there was no need to consider her sainthood, but it was a big twist for her that the relationship between Lina and Nea improved. “So she had no choice but to intervene.”

“Then you should become a lot stronger too.”

“That’s right. So, I need to gradually increase the intensity of my training.”

“Can you hold on?”

“I have to hold on. “Because it has to be that way.”

“Take a little rest. “You’ve already been through a lot these days.”

“Thanks to the magic power you gave me, I’m not that tired. “I’m doing it because it’s worth enduring, so you don’t have to worry too much.”

“…… “Really?”

“Okay. I am a person whose safety is the most important thing to me. “If there’s anything wrong with your body, I’ll definitely tell you, so don’t worry.”

“Okay.”

“Oh, and Aris will come back soon. A letter arrived today. Well, it means that he will gradually improve his relationship with me in his own way.”

“…… “That woman?”

“I know I don’t really like Aris, but she adjusts accordingly. Because Aris is also an essential person in my plan. “Don’t bother me too much.”

“Okay.”

Asti nodded her head with a disapproving expression.
