The Villain's Story

Chapter 115 [115]It Began Far Earlier Than Expected.



It's easy.

It's frighteningly easy to manipulate the mana in my surroundings, even if it belongs to another attribute.

Although the usage of the other Elements is quite hard, I can easily convert them into Ice.

Chaos I could probably do so as well, but space is something else.

The only spatial mana I have is the one inside my body, no matter how hard I try, I can't convert other elemental mana into space.

...

...

...

it is quite annoying.

I can easily convert the non-attributed mana inside of me into space-attributed mana but the mana outside?

A complete no go.

No matter how hard I try I...just can't do it.

Well, I'll think about this later then, I'm quite free for the time being.

So I can laze around all I want.

The thing I have to worry about begins right before summer vacation, and the first three months of Shield are always quite lax, it's after we choose our respective clubs does the real training begin.

Battle Classes, special Classes, Virtual Augmented Reality Scenario Classes...and other club-related activities.

And the good thing is since I am now a student council member, I am not obligated to join any clubs.

I'm free from club-related activities, although student council members are still allowed to join a club of their liking...were not forced to.

All I need to be worried about is the Battle Classes and Virtual Reality scenario classes.

Where all students are of the same rank.

But then it was at this moment I realized.

'I'm stuck with the sword saints' training

..'

Vice Principal Elena is probably shocked for reasons I don't know and is probably busy as heck these days.

Although I don't hate the word saints training schedule, even though I get my ass kicked every time.

I just wanted to get some magic training.

***

As my body was thrown into the air, I landed on the ground with a thud.

"Cough...cough!"

I coughed blood as I tried to get up, and when I did, was greeted by a jab towards my face.

'Goddamnit! Why is this geezer focusing on me?!'

I questioned in my mind.

Since the moment this training started, out of all four of us...Arken was focusing only on me!

Granted, I'm currently the strongest here, But why not Lucas?!

WHO IS A FREAKING TANK?!

Why not Olivia?!

WHO IS THE SMARTEST ONE HERE?!"

And Alex... never mind Alex...He's already dead.

'...Arken got him good.'

I thought to myself as I glanced towards Alex, who had had his face buried in the ground with a kick by the Sword Saint earlier.

"Where are you looking at?!"

I heard the Sword saint's voice as I frantically tried to dodge his attacks.

I dodged the first roundhouse kick, but then the sword saint changed it into a hook kick that sent me flying.

I used [Ice Modification] midair to cover my fingers with claws of ice as I dug them into the ground to stop myself.

...my sense of balance?

I feel all woozy.

The world is squiggly.

"That's what happens if you get hit in the head, you idiot!"

I heard the sword saints scream and found out why I was dizzy.

"Uh.."

I grasped my head as it felt like it was splitting apart.

Thankfully, my 'teammates' had bought me some time to do so.

Olivia immediately sneaked up behind the sword saint to attack but was immediately repelled by a back kick powerful enough to break a bone...

if it was done on us that is...but the sword saint always held back excessively when attacking her.

If that was me...even thinking about it made me shudder.

But it still rendered her unconscious.

And immediately after Olivia Attacked, Lucas followed by a shield bash with his smaller shield now.

"You fool! You're not using a tower shield anymore, Adjust to using your smaller shield! Also, your footing is weak!"

The sword saint said after shrugging off the shield bash before calf kicking Lucas, which made him fall sideways.

And before he could fall completely, the sword saint kicked him in the stomach and sent him flying and rendered him unconscious as well.

Ever since Lucas had been advised by the sword saint to change his shield.

He begrudgingly did so and changed to a smaller shield and discarded his tower shield.

And that was an improvement, the tower shield in my opinion restricted his vision.

That smaller shield was much better.

However, he was still used to his tower shield and the east used his new shield.

yet, which is why he's still getting his ass kicked.

"How long are you going to stand there watching?"

I heard the swords saint's voice again amidst my dizziness as he slowly walked towards me, who was the only one still standing now.

I gritted my teeth and charged at him, using the claws of ice around my fingers I slashed at him.

*Swish*

"Using skills won't help you! What are those scales going to do? Protect you? From this?!"

Scales?

'...what scales?'.

I thought to myself, but before I could question the statement more, I was sent flying again because of an uppercut.

I landed on my feet and felt even dizzier, this time accompanied by a feeling of lethargy.

"What are those reptilian eyes going to do when you have no mana to activate the skill anymore?!"

...What are you talking about?

What reptilian eyes?!

I haven't even activated dragon eyes?

I turned my head down...and then saw what he was referring to.

My hands...were covered in scales.

And I was looking at them tiredly and in confusion, I was struck by another piercing headache.

'...what is happening?'

But before I could complete my thoughts...my mind went blank, my vision darkened and I fell over unconscious.

... I should have expected this...and doubled my previous expectations...

***

[Sword Saints POV]

Again?Using skills again?

I don't mind the ice claws...but using a defensive skill that is causing those scales to appear on his arms and face.

and then using an observation skill turning his eyes similar to that of a reptile?

As I watched him charge at me all wobbly, I sighed inwardly and thought to myself.

'...they're all too dependent on skills.'

Truly, it's going to be a hassle training these four.

Alex has no guts and no good defense.

Lucas is too arrogant and prideful.

My niece is all right.

And Alan is too dependent on his skills.

Using those scales as a defense is good...but what is the use here?

When I am conditioning his body?

And what are those eyes going to do?

Let him see my movements.

...fine if they can let him see my movements...then I shall see if he can react to them fast enough.

And lo and behold, as I sent him flying once again, I laughed inwardly.

What uses the skill that can let you see movements if you can't react to them fast enough?

...but something is off.

He seems to be out of it.

He's looking at his hands in shock...and to my surprise.

He fell to the ground...and his body released a burst of mana that even sent me flying.

I landed on my two feet and looked in his direction...

But what I found was not Alan...but a black egg made of scales...
