I Am The Game's Villain

The Weapon Mastery classroom, or more like a training hall, was located in the closed stadium on the north of the fourth building. We had ten minutes of walking to reach that place. Once scanning our academy card, we were allowed to enter.

The question I wondered while walking was why the hell we had weapon mastery class right after eating?

Shouldn't we have something more fluffy?

Like History Class, so I can sleep a little.

I was tired and just wanted to take a nap.

The afternoon class right after lunch is really the worst class.

The Weapon Mastery class should be taught by Walter Celesta, the homeroom teacher of the Dragon class, but since it was the first class and it was not really a weapon mastery class as we were just going to choose and test a weapon, it was decided that the class would be held by the homeroom teacher of our classes. So Almona, the Basilisk class' homeroom teacher and the Homeroom teacher of the Phoenix class.

Soon we entered the spacious gymnasium filled with empty long rectangular tables on every corner. Behind each table was a man or a woman with a dress or suit from the academy. They were probably some staff of the academy.

One by one, my classmates joined us. They were looking around curiously.

…and eventually they arrived.

The strongest of the [Phoenix Class].

Aurora, my ex-fiancee who could be said to be the leader of the Phoenix class. Next were my siblings, Elona and Simon. Lastly, it was AuroraSimp aka David Seaven, who was also a [Pretender]. With his light blue hair and eyes of the same color, he was with Simon, the target of all the girls of the [Phoenix Class], even other classes.

These four were the pillars of the Phoenix Class, they were all among the strongest of my promotion and Aurora was the strongest girl of our whole promotion. Yeah, she didn't look like that with her benevolent face, but she was on another level. The only ones who could have a chance against her would be Layla or 'Awakened Milleia'.

There was a debate on the fandom page about who was the strongest between Aurora and Layla but no one could really tell. As for me, Aurora was stronger, but once Layla shifted her motor after what would happen because of the idiot prince, she would become a monster…

David Seaven was as strong as the like of Eric Scarlett, Simon and Loid Stormdila. Still below Alfred and John obviously, but he was very strong nonetheless.

As for Simon and Elona, they were as strong as Ronald, Thomas or Lyra.

[<Keep it short.>]

I'm coming useless Goddess!

If I'm saying all of that to you, it's so you can understand the freaking unfairness!

Our class was clearly below the others!

There was no way any of us could beat or even equal Alfred, Aurora or John in strength! Even the others were freaks!

Of course, Jayden and Milleia were going to be strong, but not right now!

Until then, we were going to suffer and I didn't like this a bit. I wasn't going to let myself be beaten up nor my class. I was still proud. To hell the good continuation of the plot! As long I could make a happy ending, everything was allowed.

"Where are you going, Lyra?"

Milleia asked when she saw Lyra leaving us.

"I have to greet them."

Lyra smiled and walked toward Aurora's group.

It was the etiquette for nobles and since Lyra was a high-ranking noble, as a Lady, she had to greet her fellows high-ranking nobles like Aurora, David, Simon and Elona.

What the hell was I doing instead of following her, you'd ask.

Let's say that I respected etiquette only when it was convenient for me. Greeting my ex-fiancee, my siblings I cursed and the simp of my ex-fiancee? No thanks.

I deftly ignored and acted like I didn't even notice them.

"Um, Edward, your sister is here…"

Milleia muttered, bewildered by my reaction.

I could feel Elona's saddened gaze but I ignored her.

"Oh, I don't see her though."

I answered with a shrug.

"How did you miss her? She is just behind you, look."

Take a hint Jayden!

I ignored Jayden's dumb words and walked to the front.

Milleia and Jayden followed behind me like my lackeys.

"..."

How many times do I have to say to them to stop that?!

When Lyra wasn't with us, they shifted gear immediately and acted like that.

And that damn crowd making a way for me!

Am I the mafia's boss?!

At first it was cool cuz it was boosting my ego, but not anymore!

The noisy gymnasium fell into silence when two people entered.

Two women.

One of them was my teacher, Almona Donner, and the other one was the Phoenix class' homeroom teacher.

She had blue hair and green eyes, but contrary to her colorful appearance, her expression wasn't colorful. She was a little cold and very strict towards her students. She really wanted to bring her class to the top. Honestly, I was glad to have Professor Mona as a teacher. She was strict but was very close to her students, often spending time with them even if it took her personal time.

-Clap! -Clap!

"Like you read on the schedule displayed in your Class Auditorium, today you have Weapon Mastery as a subject, but I would like to correct something. I and professor Katia with me are not going to teach you that today. It's Professor Marvin's subject after all. First, let me introduce myself to Professor Katia's class, who doesn't know me."

Professor Mona was the first one taking the lead.

"I am Almona Donner, the Homeroom Teacher of the First Years, Basilisk Class. You call me Professor Mona, it's easier that way. You will also see me often since I will teach you about the Enigma Beasts and artifacts. I have, of course, a biased opinion on my class, which is, by the way, the strongest class in the academy. Nevertheless, I will do my best to answer truthfully to the class of my colleagues and friends."

Professor Mona…

I'm admirative of your positivity, but our class is nowhere near the strongest one in the academy…

Indeed, we are probably the last one in terms of strength…

"Our professor has really good eyes to have chosen our class."

A mob of my class said and flicked his hair.

She didn't choose it though…

"Right, she must be in Eden to just have us as her class."

"We will get rid of all the classes and trample on the first place."

"No doubts."

"Look, they are already afraid."

When I saw the mobs of my class getting excited by the obvious exaggeration of professor Mona, I cringed.

"They are talking too highly of themselves, weaklings."

I heard David's curse.

He wasn't the least pleased at the comments of the mobs of class.

"David, concentrate. Answering their provocation would be proving their words."

Aurora's words traveled to her whole class, who just nodded and concentrated on the two professors.

For a moment, I thought of joining the Phoenix class, which was more disciplined and acting like I didn't know the bums whose only purpose was to be my useless classmates, but I remembered Aurora, Simon, Elona and David's presence in that class and abandoned the idea.

I could only try to ignore the embarrassing sneers of my classmates directed at the guys from the other class who didn't give a damn about them.

"Silence please. Professor Katia, I leave you the word."

Professor Mona said.

Professor Katia nodded and took a step forward.

"I'm Katia Mayer, and I'm in charge of the Phoenix Class's freshman. I shall instruct all of the classes on mana and the inheritances that the majority of you received from your families. Although I may have some personal preferences for my class's performance, you are ultimately the future of our kingdom. I therefore wish everyone of you, regardless of your origin, status, or class, success. The most elite school in the entire kingdom is the Royal Eden Academy. You should all be honored that you were all chosen. I am asking you to work hard in the academy, and in return, you will have a promising future. If you decide to go the wrong path, you won't need me to tell you that the world is not as lovely as it appears from our kingdom. In this unpredictable world, power always takes precedence over everything else. Before thinking wrongly, keep it in mind."

"....."

She destroyed the joyous ambiance professor Mona created.

[<She is just strict.>]

'More importantly, why the hell did she glance at me at the end?!'

[<Coincidence?>]

No, I really felt her glance…

Was I even poorly regarded by my teachers?

"Ahum. Now, I will explain why we have called you here. You will like it, I'm sure."

Professor Mona tried her best to break the tense atmosphere.

"As you can see, there are several tables around you. The people around us are colleagues from the academy. Each of them is an expert and a unique weapon. Each table will have one type of weapon. Bows, swords, and spears are all acceptable weapons. You can ask my colleagues any question you want about the weapon you're interested in, and they'll answer it and even give you some tips if you ask. Take advantage of this opportunity because you won't see them often, and it might even be the last."

-Clap!

At professor Mona's clap, we all parted our way to a random table. The tables which were empty before were now filled with dozen and dozens of weapons.

Now…

Which weapon?
