It Is Fate To Be Loved by the Villains

chapter 3



3. one punch

Elfante’s secretary of the student council, Beatrix, has been the student council president’s confidant for 10 years.

In other words, it also meant that he was more angry than anyone else about the situation that Elnor was running late for an appointment.

“Is he really crazy…!”

She grinded her teeth while watching the time stamped on her magical wristwatch.

If it’s not anyone else, but if it’s the most important person like the student council president, it’s normal to arrive 10 minutes ago and get all kinds of powdered.

“Stop, senior! Count Creitan has just arrived…!”

“The Marquis of Galanteer is now…!”

To top it all off, the information floating around was only fueling her anger.

Elfante’s entrance match is not just an academy event, but also a place where all the big players of the empire gather and build friendships.

Still, I can’t show myself not being able to keep basic things like time commitments in front of people like that…!

As I was thinking about that and calming down the anger that burned my hair white, someone slid open the door to the student council room.

It was Elnor, whose entire body was covered in blood.

“…”

“…”

While everyone, including Beatrix, remained silent at the scene, Elnor, who had stepped into the room, sighed and put the sword down on her desk.

Thanks to that, one of the students who saw the blood dripping from the blade started to hiccup.

“Something?”

Noticing the strange silence, Elnor looked around and opened his mouth.

To this Beatrix replied, rubbing her temples that were throbbing as if they were about to explode.

“There are many things I want to ask you, but since this can be summed up in one question, please answer me straight. What have you been doing?”

“I’ve been doing some cleaning up.”

It should also be said to be 10 years old.

The time it took Beatrix to figure out that this topic was something she shouldn’t be talking about in public deserved such praise.

“…I’m sorry, but I think from here on, only I and the chairman will have to deal with it. Can you all clear up your seats?”

Beatrix, who sent the other students off like that with a kind smile, raised a devil-like expression on her face as the last member left.

“What else did you buy?”

“It wasn’t an accident. Didn’t you say post-processing?”

“If no one is dead, I will agree with you.”

“Not many. About 12 people?”

“…”

After barely coming back to her senses after taking a few deep breaths, she continued with a trembling voice to the still expressionless Elnor.

“What did you kill for this time?”

“When I say that, don’t I sound like a murderer who usually kills people for no reason?”

Elnor said calmly, wiping the blood dripping from his blade.

“They were assassins trying to kill me. I dropped a rock on the train coming to the academy under the guise of an accident. When I found out who it was, I killed it because it was close.”

It was as natural as when talking about the fact that the sun rises in the sky.

“Then we just have to leave it to the school…!”

“Isn’t it cumbersome?”

“…”

“I’m sure they were the guys who ordered someone to look after them. There is no way to do it with any legal net. It’s obvious that it will be troublesome in the future, so I plucked the buds in advance.”

“…”

Beatrix clenched her fists, feeling the insides of her palms sweat.

Leaving aside how he managed to find out all of the guys hiding in the academy in less than a day, hiding their identities in the first place.

If an assassin was hired by someone with the power to evade the law, they were certainly not babbling. It must be one of the best among the pros.

It is also true that he killed 12 people single-handedly.

It’s bizarre. The ‘attitude’ of expressing such things calmly.

Like it’s a very natural thing. As if it wasn’t strange at all if he died to himself as long as he was defined as his ‘enemy’.

that is, in a way.

It seemed as if the evil he had been suppressing was released whenever an opportunity arose.

“Or do you also want me to be ‘just and perfect’? Even if your life is threatened, will you benevolently spare it?”

Beatrix passed the dry saliva on me too.

Because when I uttered this sentence, I read the soggy disgust that clung to her eyes.

Because she knew better than anyone else that this part was Elnor’s ‘reverse side’.

“Well, it happened. There’s no way you’re going to ‘force’ me to do that.”

Fortunately, Elnor, who had polished his sword, withdrew his expression and turned his head.

Beatrix, barely freed from the pressure on her body, let out a sigh of relief and wiped her forehead.

It wasn’t meant to be like that all the time. Because there is something urgent right now.

“Elnor.”

“yes?”

“Everything is fine, but if you don’t change and get ready right away, will you be late? If you don’t want to die, don’t you hurry?”

“…”

It would be a sentence that requires the highest level of courage to say to someone who has just killed 12 professional assassins.

However, the life in Beatrix’s eyes must be sincere.

Elnor sighed deeply with a hint of annoyance.

“…I get it, I get it. At least sparring would be fun. If you’re dealing with serpents, shouldn’t you be happy with your eyes?”

“You shouldn’t have to worry about that.”

Having said that, Beatrix rummaged through the data in her head.

“If you go now, there will be a new student called that unsalted genius. The match must have been Elijah Krisanax vs. Daud… Daud… what was it?”

“Doud Campbell?”

Beatrix’s eyes widened.

“okay. how do you remember that He really is a guy with no characteristics, he.”

After being silent for a moment, Elnor smiled.

“He’s a strange person, that man.”

“Is it strange?”

“okay.”

Without that, there’s no way you’d say something like ‘You look like a better person than you think’ from the beginning.

As if he knew the dark side of her.

Elnor smiled faintly and stood up.

“Let’s go. If you don’t hurry, you’ll be late.”

“…Your attitude is a little different from before? Why do you seem to be expecting a bit?”

“Because he’s interested.”

Elnor smiled and replied.

“I’m going to watch a little carefully what you’re doing in this Dalian.”

If there is a culture of gambling by win or loss in this academy, if you bet even a little bit on my side, you will get crazy dividends.

The atmosphere of the people around me right now is just such a situation.

All the eyes flying around the stage are full of anticipation of how terribly I will be crushed.

And even I agree with that fact. In this situation, I couldn’t even think of betting money on myself, which is a national rule.

“How many sums can I last?”

“What is the sum? Isn’t winning the least injured?”

“Well, what kind of talent can a guy who crawled out of a trashy baron’s family have?”

I’ve heard that conversation, but I don’t even think to refute it.

Even that kind of ridicule is noble. Most of them were people who didn’t even pay attention to the results that were so obvious.

‘Not even sad…’

I look at the other person while thinking that inwardly.

A girl who is warming up by stretching lightly.

But to my eyes, it looks like a giant serpent with its mouth wide open is flicking its tongue in front of its prey.

Perhaps, if I replace myself with a small mouse, it will be possible to prove my actual fighting power.

and.

So I’m really glad.

[ Skill: Desperation ] [ Rating: ??? ]

[ Stat enhancement is applied at the moment of crisis. The lower the chance of survival, the stronger the effect. ]

My stats are no joke, they’re trash. To the extent that it wouldn’t be strange to die as it were, even if I had been hit by that guy’s blind attack.

And no matter how you look at it, it’s a ‘crisis situation’, right?

“…”

The real plan is once ruinous.

I wonder if I’m betting too much on a bizarre skill with a question mark on the rating.

‘Ah, I don’t know.’

No matter how much I think about it, there is no way to keep up with the growth rate required of me other than this crazy method.

I’m not in a position to save myself in the event that my life is in danger within two days.

Anyway, this is the judge’s version.

‘What I’m aiming for is…’

According to the setting, the Dalian event following the entrance ceremony is the main event where all kinds of people gather to watch.

Probably, ‘high-ranking nobles’ and ‘key students of the academy’ who have a major influence on the world view and scenario also participated.

To say yes is in line with the meaning that the ‘villains’ I will encounter in the future will definitely exist.

I have no intention of winning him either. I lost but fought well is the maximum I can hope for.

The expectation for me right now would be ‘don’t die’, so even if I show that much, I might not know the ‘favor’ of the villains, but I’ll definitely be able to attract ‘interest’.

It won’t be impossible.

I’m a veteran user of this game, and I know what kind of attack this guy can use right now.

If you combine that information advantage with stat buffs, the possibility is quite high…

“excuse me.”

Continuing that thought, Elijah, who had pulled out his sword before he knew it, spoke to me with a tilt of his head.

It was a low voice so that no one else could hear it.

“Tell me honestly. Are you insanely weak?”

“…”

Why are you suddenly stabbing a sore spot?

“Originally, I was going to squeeze one. Only then…”

The guy smiles bitterly and tilts his head at the sentence he says. Because it was mixed with strange words.

“Why are you punching me?”

“You’re the one who was in the same cabin as Princess Tristan, right?”

Elijah smiled and continued.

“I hate that person. It’s not just him, I hate the entire Tristan family.”

The ensuing voice contained frost-like hatred.

“It’s a devilish family, there.”

Not usually brave.

In this world, the existence of ‘devils’ is taboo to even mention. It feels like that side has blown up all the big disasters in the worldview.

It wouldn’t be strange at all if the Duke of Tristan tried to kill him immediately upon hearing these words.

‘…I’m not saying it’s wrong.’

The problem is that they are actually entangled with the devil.

It’s not that it’s like a devil, but it’s a setting that there are people who actually signed a contract with the devil.

In addition, personally, this guy has a very deep emotional trough for the Duke of Tristan.

It must be a grudge related to family history, so it’s not like I can’t understand it…

“…I was just riding in the same cabin?”

“It makes you think of that person. I was annoyed, so I tried to hit him painfully.”

“…”

whatever.

“Still, seeing your skills makes me feel weak again, should we just pretend to fight each other and finish? You don’t want to get hurt either, do you?”

He winked slightly and whispered.

Well.

It may have been that I put my heart into it, but from my point of view, it’s a story that doesn’t make any sense.

I am a person whose life is in danger if I do not grow rapidly within two days.

The only way is to take a snow stamp here.

In other words.

“I think I can just hit you painfully.”

“…Yes?”

“I like him quite a bit.”

That’s reason enough to scratch this guy like this.

At my words, he blinked his eyes with a dazed expression for a moment, but soon changed to a face that said, “Ah” and understood something.

“He certainly has a good public image, right? When I see something like that, it just hurts me. But that’s all-”

“- Pretense. I know that too. I know roughly what you’ve been doing.”

“…”

Elijah’s expression hardened in an instant.

“…are you serious?”

“I mean as much as you hate him.”

It’s a lie.

To be honest, I don’t even want to be involved with Elnor. Mainly in terms of wanting to protect my life.

But right now, isn’t this the only way to get this guy to seriously attack me?

Anyway, according to the timeline settings, Elnor will be making eye contact with high-ranking nobles. In the middle of such an important event, there’s no way you’d be so interested in a match like me…

[Skill: Fatal attraction is activated. ]

[The villain’s liking is greatly increased! ]

[ Rewards are added to the Gift tab! ]

“…”

But I don’t know why this message pops up all of a sudden.

As I looked at him in bewilderment, Elijah, who was maintaining a hard expression, twisted his head slightly.

“okay?”

It was a voice that was clearly different from before, even with a bleak expression.

“Then you don’t have to feel much remorse.”

and the next moment.

His body reached in front of me in an instant.

It was insanely fast, as if the whole process of motion was omitted and only the beginning and the end existed.

‘What a dog…!’

I screamed like that inside and threw my body. I barely managed to lie back, but a wooden sword passed by the end of my body.

In addition, the sight of the ‘cut off’ hem fluttering in front of my eyes made my hair go numb.

Where in the world is there a human who uses a wooden sword like a real sword? If I hadn’t known how this guy’s first attack came in, I would have been really hurt.

“what? did you avoid it? Aren’t you a complete weakling again?”

But this guy didn’t seem to want to stop at all. The guy turned his head slightly, and in an instant, started preparing again.

For me, who hasn’t even recovered yet, it’s sure to come in as a direct hit.

“Then can I hit it a little harder?”

Then, in an instant, his sword came aiming for my chest.

‘Such a crazy guy…!’

It seems that I misunderstood that I had some ability because I just avoided it, but it was just a fluke due to information superiority.

If you get hit with something like this, you’ll really die.

“…!”

He gritted his teeth and raised his bare fist.

There is no gap to draw a weapon anyway, but at this point, it is clearly a crisis situation. The skill will definitely be activated.

I don’t know how much, but it will definitely have meaning.

[ A crisis situation is detected. ]

[ It is judged as a level that poses a direct threat to life. ]

[Skill: Applies Desperation to EX grade. ]

‘…EX grade?’

Isn’t this the highest grade?

However, there was no time to express surprise at the content.

-!

-!!!

-!!!!!!!!!!

-!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Elijah hit by my fist.

It flew at an invisible speed and landed on one side of the building wall.
