I Am The Game's Villain

The history class of professor Erwind lasted-

How many hours did it last?

I feel like it lasted two days in a row.

Whatever.

I forgot most of the things he spoke about since I didn't give a damn about a war that happened a thousand years ago!

I climbed down the stairs before anyone to get out of the class.

There were too many main characters in the auditorium and I wanted to avoid any problems for now. It was lunchtime anyway.

The people who wanted to climb down stopped on their track and made way for me. It was in a time like that I felt glad of my reputation.

"Hey, Edward!"

Jayden called out when I walked out.

"What?"

"Why did you not take the seat I reserved for you?"

He asked, a little upset.

"We are friends, right?"

I smiled and glanced at Lyra behind him.

"Ask Lyra, I'm sure she knows why."

"Lyra?"

Milleia turned toward Lyra, who had an awkward expression.

She won't tell it was because she wanted to watch a fight between me and the three idiots, right?

"Actually, I wanted to mend Edward and Alfred's relation as their childhood friend…"

"..."

I looked at her mouth agape.

She really has no shame.

"Eh? You are not in good relation with Prince Alfred?"

Milleia asked.

This girl can sure become close to someone easily.

"Good relation? With the three idiots, hell no."

I sneered as I walked away.

Hell would freeze before that.

"Three idiots?"

Tyler, who joined the group without my awareness, asked.

"Yeah, the idiot prince, the dumb brother and the idiot prince's mistress."

If you ask me from what inspiration I got these nicknames, it's simple.

The idiot Alfred must be without doubt the most idiotic prince you will ever find in the entire world. Heard about Charles VI of France? If Alfred continues with his 'road to doom' project aka rejecting Layla's project and ignoring her advances, then he will really become an idiot king.

Loid? This guy was the dumbest of the trio. I really wonder how he ends up having Miranda as an elder sister. It really made no sense.

The last one, Thomas, was always hanging around with Alfred. I wouldn't be surprised if they already gave each other their virginity.

[<Pfffft! Ahaahahaaha!>]

Cleenah burst out in a laugh when she read my thoughts.

It was the loudest laugh I have ever heard from her.

""Ahaahaha!""

Tyler and Lyra laughed hard as well.

""Shhh!""

Jayden and Milleia tried to calm down their friend but it was really hard…

I ignored them and walked to the cafeteria.

We were again at the center of attention because of their laugh.

Lyra, who wanted to preserve her image, was barely able to contain her laughter…

The men around couldn't help but be captivated by the rare sight of Lyra laughing. It was a beautiful sight indeed.

…

…

In the cafeteria, still on the first floor, we took an empty table in a corner and sat down.

This time no nobles tried to bother us. I carefully chose a table on the corner of the first floor where even the main characters wouldn't come.

[<Coward.>]

'Shut up. I just need some time.'

I was a hundred percent sure that one of them would soon come to annoy me. I knew it was inevitable. I lost my status as a mere son of a Duke. Moreover, because my shitty father spread the information around that I was driven out by him, the whole kingdom was thinking that I lost the support of my father. Otherwise, the random noble of yesterday wouldn't have even dared to insult me.

If even a random person like him wasn't afraid, then what about the main characters?

Now, I should concentrate on this afternoon's class.

Weapons and hand-to-hand fight Mastery.

In short, we were going to be taught how to fight in close combat without or a little of mana.

Today, since it was the first day, it was a peculiar class.

We were going to choose a weapon suitable for us.

The famous weapon selection.

…and it was in joint class with the [Phoenix Class];

Oh please Eden, kill me.

There are four headaches in this class.

I wish it was the [Pegasus Class] since it's Layla's class. It's the least annoying class since Layla only cares about Alfred; John only cares about Layla, his sister.

Or maybe not…

Tyler is in that class, I forgot.

"Hey man! Answer me!"

Speaking of the devil…

Why the heck was he on my table?

Must be Jayden's or Milleia's word.

"What weapon will you take?"

"It's not your business."

"Come on man! We are best friends with Jayden and you!"

Since when?!

"Dream on."

"Edward, you are too mean to Tyler."

Milleia said before bringing the fork into her mouth.

There was not even an ounce of elegance in her manners, but she had her own charm.

"Yes. Edward, chill out a little, we are not your enemies."

Lyra nodded vehemently.

"You are the last person I want to hear that from Lyra."

More importantly, can Tyler get off of this table?!

We are five on a table of four, for God's sake.

It's so awkward.

"What about you, Jayden?"

Since I wasn't going to answer even if he begged me, Tyler turned toward Jayden.

[<You are bullying him like a Villain.>]

[He is the Main Antagonist of the Second Game, after all.]

-Clang!

I nearly broke the porcelain plate when I tried to pick up a meatball.

Only Mary is there for me, huh.

"Hum, my decision is already taken. I will take a sword!"

Jayden answered with a bright smile.

Well, no surprise.

He was a genius with the sword.

"What about you?"

Jayden asked Tyler back.

"Me? Hehehehe."

Tyler scratched his nose.

My lips twitched at Tyler's exaggerated reaction.

"It's obviously a great sword! It's the biggest weapon and the strongest one!"

"A fitting weapon for a muscle head like you."

I let out.

Sorry I couldn't hold back on this one.

"Muscle-head? Right! I have a lot of muscles look!"

Tyler stood up and started to….remove his shirt?!

That b*tch!

I picked a meatball with my fork and sent a tiny wave of mana.

The meatball flew at high speed before entering the noisy mouth of Tyler.

"Cough!"

He started to choke.

"T-Tyler!"

Milleia gave a glass of water to Tyler worriedly.

'Aahahaahahaha!'

I laughed hard inwardly but continued to eat peacefully outwardly.

[<He could have died, you know.>]

'The world would lose an idiot then.'

[<...>]

'Ahaahaa!'

I was really proud of myself.

I had great control over mana. It was good news for me.

Fortunately, no one noticed it was my doing.

…or so I thought.

Lyra was looking at me with a big smile.

She was the only one looking at me, as Jayden and Milleia were taking care of Tyler.

"T-This is what happens when you stand up suddenly after eating."

I said as a matter of fact.

No one would believe me though.

"R-Really? It's dangerous…"

No one except Milleia, who had a dead serious face.

This girl…

"I-I see my bad! Thanks man!"

Tyler also believed me…

I am starting to feel guilty now.

"Milleia, what weapon for you?"

Tyler resumed eating like a pig and asked.

I think I understand now why he was bullied by the nobles.

He had the typical face of a country bumpkin and his carefree personality was irritating more than one noble.

"Let's leave that matter aside! We shouldn't talk about class in the cafeteria!"

Lyra was visibly already tired from the class.

I have to admit that the class about the First Great Holy War was boring.

"Milleia!"

"Y-Yes!"

Good luck, Milleia.

Lyra was probably talking about an awkward topic right now.

"During Professor Erwin's Class, you were lovey-dovey with Prince Alfred. Can you explain that?"

Imitating a mike with her hand, Lyra brought her hand in front of Milleia's mouth.

"E-Eh? I-I don't know-"

"You can't lie to me, Milleia!"

Milleia averted her face.

"..."

Seeing Milleia's expression, I didn't feel good at all.

She should be with Jayden, not that idiot prince.

I squeezed Jayden's shoulder.

"Are you for real, Jayden? That idiot prince seduced her in front of you and you didn't do anything?"

I whispered.

Jayden shivered at my question.

"B-But he is the prince, I-I can't do anything…"

Jayden lowered his head.

"..."

Okay, it's my fault.

It's the beginning of the game and Jayden is not the Jayden of the endgame. I'm too used to the prime Jayden if I may call it like that.

"Sigh…Listen. During the afternoon class, help Milleia to choose her weapon. Be with her, you can win her."

"Yes!"

Jayden nodded like an obedient child.

"Good."

I smiled, satisfied with my job.

That idiot prince…

I have to do something about him before he really 'rob' Milleia from Jayden.

I am still not at his level in strength, but I am smarter than this idiot.

What if…

A plan started to form in my mind.

It's risky and dangerous, but it might work…
