Reincarnated as a Failed Villain: Fallen Angel

Selena was a beauty with silver hair and blue eyes. She wore a long black dress, which showed off her slender figure. Her skin was pale, and she had a beautiful smile. And yet, her looks held no effect on Lucas, who hardly noticed her at all.

"Sooooooooo… Stop ignoring me and answer." Selena frowned impatiently.

"Heh... You don't know how to take a hint, do you?" Lucas asked, rolling his eyes as he pushed himself upright again.

"Excuse you!" Selena snapped indignantly.

"You're the one who's being rude. I don't owe you an answer." Lucas said calmly.

"Ugh! Fine!" Selena huffed. "I'll make this simple. I'm here because I want you to train me!"

"You what?" Lucas raised his brows skeptically. "Why?"

"I want to become stronger and defeat Thomas!" Selena said angrily. "I might not be as strong as him, but I'm determined to beat him!"

"What are you... an anime rival or something?" Lucas burst out laughing, but the pain in his side forced him to stop immediately.

"Don't laugh!" Selena looked hurt. "I'm serious!"

"I'm sorry. But what the hell made you think I would train you?" Lucas asked cautiously.

"Because I want to be as powerful as you!" Selena declared proudly, her cheeks flushing red. "If I become strong enough, Thomas will never stand a chance against me!"

Lucas stared at her in disbelief. He had seen no one this stupid before. "You realize I am the enemy, right?"

Selena's eyes widened in shock. "Wha- Thomas never mentioned it!" nervous sweat appeared on her forehead as she took a step back away from Lucas.

Lucas's eye twitch in annoyance. 'So this is the part that Thomas hid from others? Seriously?'

​ Lucas placed his hand on his forehead and shook his head in disbelief. The moment he calmed down, he looked straight at Selena's eyes and asked.

"Why do you think we were fighting in the first place?" Lucas smirked. "If me and Thomas were friends, why we were trying to kill each other?"

"I... I don't..." Selena stuttered as an icy shiver went down her spine. She finally understood why Thomas forbade anyone except for guards to enter this room. But being a rebellious teenager, Selena ignored his warnings and barged in any way. She was in a lion's den on her own free will.

"You really don't know?" Lucas asked.

"N-No." Selena answered with a shake of her head. "Thomas didn't tell me anything."

"Hmm..." Lucas thought carefully. He noticed his mana healed the body and felt relieved; however, he could feel the exhaustion drain out of him. "Dammit."

"I..." she stuttered as she backed towards the door. "I'll leave."

"Hold it there!" Lucas called.

"Wh-What?" Selena froze in fear when she saw Lucas's eyes.

"Did he tell you why am I here?" Lucas asked before hearing the doors open.

Selena and Lucas looked at the door to see Thomas walking in.

"You're awake." Thomas smiled before noticing Selena. "What the fuck are you doing here?"

"I... Uh." Selena was looking for an excuse, however, she had none. "I-..."

Lucas sat up, wincing in pain as he did so. He noticed how awkward Selena was and realized that she was in trouble.

"It's kind of your fault, you know?" Lucas said, making Thomas's eyebrows furrow in confusion. "When you lied to her about the reason we were fighting, it only fueled her curiosity, which caused her to find out the truth herself."

Thomas's face turned blank for a moment. Then he narrowed his eyes suspiciously.

"Is that true?" Thomas asked, looking at Selena awkwardly.

"Yes. I thought you were friends." Selena replied nervously. "That's why I came here."

"God dammit. How on lightburn did you come to that conclusion?" Thomas placed his palm on his face in frustration. "You must've been incredibly naïve if you believed that fight between friends could leave both of them hospitalized for three days."

"Wait... What?" Lucas asked. "Three days?" he stood up slowly, ignoring the pain in his stomach and chest.

"I need to... go home." Lucas said, forcing himself to walk over. "Take care now."

Thomas stood in front of the doors, blocking the path. He frowned fiercely at Lucas.

"You mean the Holy kingdom?" Thomas asked suspiciously. "Do you need me to teleport you there? If you promise to..." Thomas spoke, wanting to make a deal with Lucas to leave the Elemental kingdom and never return. He didn't want any type of danger to happen to his kingdom.

"No. That won't be necessary." Lucas said. "Thank you, though."

"What?" Thomas frowned at Lucas's words.

"My home is the Elemental kingdom." Lucas Lucas said calmly. "Holy kingdom can burn for all I care."

Selena and Thomas stared at Lucas in disbelief. They exchanged glances and then they both shrugged helplessly.

"Well... This is awkward." Thomas sighed as he moved away from the door and sat down on Lucas's bed. "I came to meet you because I assumed you were a Holy kingdom's weapon sent to kill me."

Lucas closed his eyes and shook his head. "My family members were the ones that sealed my mana."

"But... Why?" Thomas asked, confused by Lucas's story.

"They wanted me gone." Lucas said flatly, showing no emotion as he continued to speak. "Since my power threatens their ambitions. My mana was too dark for the Holy family."

"But why?" Thomas asked again in disbelief. They would banish someone with such a powerful mana? Of course, the seal won't hold it. "Are they not afraid of your revenge?!"

Lucas chuckled dryly. "It doesn't matter now. My mana is back."

"That's... good news." Thomas said awkwardly scratching his head. He wasn't sure if this was a good thing, as angels were not the friendliest creatures. That the angel was in the Elemental kingdom was worrying. After all, Thomas wouldn't be able to stop him if Lucas destroyed the Elemental kingdom. Their fight already proven that Lucas could always target this place and Thomas could hardly defend it.

"So what now?" Thomas asked.

"I-... I don't know. We're going to continue our fight?" Lucas asked with a smirk.

"No." Thomas answered firmly. "If you're not the enemy, we have no reason to fight."

Lucas nodded slowly, disappointed by the turn of events. He did not feal any rage that he felt towards sinners when Thomas was around. The fight before was to test his own limits.

"I will go back to school." Lucas said with a chuckle.

"EH?!" Selena shouted in surprise. "WHY?! You are so powerful that you don't even have to work! The kingdom would compensate for your lifestyle!"

"She's right" Thomas said. "School is not the best place for you to learn magic. You should work for us instead."

Lucas thought about it for a minute, but shook his head. "No, sorry."

"Alright. But may I ask why not?" Thomas asked, curious.

Lucas sighed as he leaned back against the wall. "Sarah would miss me."The words exited his mouth involuntarily and quickly he realized what he said. 'Why did I just say that?!' he thought, confused.
