Surviving as a Villain at the Academy

71 – Preparation. (4)

Asti was very annoyed by the woman in front of him. Aris Winslet. She is the woman that Prah had a crush on, and that led him to meet her.

She used to be nothing but grateful for letting Prah go away, but lately things have been a little different. The fox is about to slap its tail again. In Asti’s eyes, Aris’ behavior was clearly visible.

Originally, this was the time when I should have been alone with her to prepare for her final exam. Lina and Nea could have come in between, but the two were almost half-dead under the weight of the task.

Indeed. The magic professor’s viciousness seemed to be enough to put even the devil in a dying state. The content itself wasn’t difficult, but the amount was too much.

Yes, she was working hard to eventually become a high-level devil, but she loved the entertainment in the human world so much that she couldn’t help but do it. Because whining about being weighed down by assignments was also part of the fun.

Anyway, we dared to waste our precious time alone. As for Asti, she couldn’t help but dislike Aris’ behavior.

Look. Those spoiled, raised eyes right now. Since he had already dumped Prah once, what kind of face would he have to face him again?

Well. He may be able to act like that because he has a thick face. We don’t even know how much pain Prah suffered.

It was she who even restored Prah, who was badly wounded, with her whip. To Asti, who vividly remembers every single detail of the hardships he had to endure because of Aris, she was truly the world’s worst b*tch.

Even if Aris wasn’t the talent needed for Prah’s plan, she wouldn’t have even allowed herself to come near him.

Of course, the future that Prah saw was distorted and will continue to be distorted in the future, but it remains the same that Aris’ role and her growth were important in the future that he originally saw.

So, Asti has no choice but to allow her access…… Deep down, she didn’t want to allow even that.

At least it may be late to convey my feelings, but I can’t let some fox-like b*tches steal Prah’s heart in the meantime.

Asti looked at Aris in front of her with a cold gaze.

Of course, Aris was also the one glaring at Asti with a cold gaze.

I originally thought that Asti’s place was where she should be.

She was very displeased with the fact that Asti was staying in the same mansion as Prah. This is because Lancel’s mansion was also a place where her and his memories resided.

So, as Aris, she felt like her place where she should have been taken away by Asti.

Furthermore, the friendly attitude that Prah sometimes shows toward Asti. It was also something she couldn’t even dream of at this point.

Although she is said to have reconciled with Prah, she only went so far as to reconcile. He and she had to break away from their previous relationship and build a new one.

In other words, she has lost all sense of distance between her and Prah. Her memories remained, but she could not use those memories as an excuse to approach him.

She said that Prah tried to treat her like before, but she already knew that her presence in his heart was not that important.

Because ‘her effort’ was necessary, it meant that she unconsciously could not treat her.

Although she had taken all of those facts into consideration, it was true that her heart ached when she faced it in person.

What is more heartbreaking than anything else is that he relies on someone other than her.

But that was one thing, the woman in front of her was something else.

That woman named Asti, a woman who usually was sullen and said nothing, as soon as she and Prah had fought, she stepped into the gap and took the seat next to Prah.

She couldn’t help but feel her gaze becoming fierce at that fact. She even wondered what she had done, so that ‘he’ Prah, who is famous for not relying on others, often showed himself relying on Asti…… Aris couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable.

And those eyes that are staring at her now. After seeing that, Aris couldn’t back down even more. This is because the attitude of treating Prah as if he were mine was very unpleasant. That attitude that says he can be the only one next to him.

I can’t hand it over easily. Aris thought so and glared at Asti.

Establishing a new relationship means breaking away from previous friendship games. So, Aris made a promise.

I decided to participate in the battle for Prah.

She even felt that she had quite the upper hand. Even when other women approached her, she had no confidence in them.

But Aris himself was different. This is because she had been told several times directly by Prah that he liked her.

Of course, that has become meaningless now…… Unfortunately, Aris didn’t know that.

* * *

How long is she going to be having a snowball fight? I looked at Aris and Asti and sighed. Of course, I know that Asti doesn’t have any good feelings towards Aris.

As Asti started getting closer to me, she didn’t really like her Aris’ attitude.

Especially when she told Aris that she should help her in various ways, she openly showed her anger, so it was immediately clear that she did not like Aris.

But that wasn’t good.

It doesn’t matter since Asti and I have to fight against Ruslanne in Chapter 3 anyway, but we needed to build an outwardly friendly relationship with them until at least Chapter 2. In many ways, it was because I needed their help at the beginning of Chapter 2.

The episode of going to the land of the dead itself begins with Ruslan and his party complying with the saint’s request.

That’s right. This means that I also have to become part of Ruslan’s group. At least until the beginning of Chapter 2.

So I had to avoid conflict with them as much as possible for now.

I gently squeezed her Asti’s hand and sent her a flame to her.

Chloride. In other words, telepathy.

It is a very useful magic in many ways, and since there is no magic better than this for exchanging secret stories with Asti, it was the magic I learned first when learning magic from Asti.

-Be patient. I know Aris doesn’t like her, but we need to be inducted into their group at least until the second semester starts.

-…… Huh.

When Asti heard my words, she lowered her wildly raised eyes. That alone made her look like a gentle sheep, and Aris, who had also raised her eyes, looked somewhere else as if she had lost steam.

Let’s get along well for the time being, please. No, I don’t want to get along with you. Aris also made it clear that she disliked Asti, and Asti was the same.

However, it was difficult because my plan went astray. I’ll have to leave this to Asti.

On the way to her mansion after finishing the final exam study group, Asti was pouting the corners of her mouth.

“I don’t like it.”

“I know. At least you hate Aris. But just be patient.”

“I want to put up with it, but they keep provoking me from over there.”

“Be patient even if it’s annoying. “If you come out like that, there’s no reason why I worked so hard to keep Aris’ spirit.”

She spoke in a low voice without dissolving her sullen expression.

“…… “I’ll try.”

I was so amazed by that sight that I lightly stroked Asti’s head.

“You’re kind, Asti.”

“Okay then. “Is there anyone as kind as me?”

She slowly relaxed her sullen expression and smiled slightly at the corner of her mouth.

“But, Prah.”

“Huh?”

“Do you have sword training today?”

“Yes. “I said I watch it every day without knowing why.”

“I guess I really liked your skills.”

“Is that so? “I honestly don’t think my talent is that great.”

“It happens again, again. I will guarantee your talent. “Why are you always so anxious when you have my magic eyes in the first place?”

“I feel like I’m relying too much on magical power. “I felt like I couldn’t achieve it with just my talent.”

“Why isn’t that your talent? I have no intention of taking the magic eye from you. The abilities obtained through a contract with the devil become the abilities of the target unless the devil himself wants it. So the magic eye is your ability. “This is your ability that I obtained by making a real contract with the devil.”

“Is that so?”

“You are always not self-objective. Always underestimate yourself. “You shouldn’t do that yourself.”

Asti looked at me seriously.

“In the first place, if a person without any ability obtains the magic eye, he cannot use it properly. “Because you are, you can handle that magic eye.”

“Yes.”

“Have confidence. I, who has lived much longer than you, guarantee your talent, but why do you keep doing that? ….”

Asti said with a sad expression.

“…… “Thank you always.”

“If you are grateful, please change your attitude. “You have talent, Prah.”

Asti said that and patted my head.

Entrusting myself to her touch, I thought that I should gradually break the habit of beating myself up.
