Life Of A Nobody - as a Villain

"The voice came from here, right?"

"Yeah, I can still hear some crying sounds."

"Is it some idiot, don't they know it's the academy? How dare they try and do this here? That too when everyone is just outside."

"Maybe someone got too drunk. The seniors did get some quality booze for the party."

"Are you insane? Even if you're drunk don't you see what time and place it is? And that too forcing a girl?"

"Maybe it's a kink, and they're roleplaying. Who knows?"

"Are you serious? Can't you hear the screams of struggle all this while?"

"Don't look at me, there are all kinds of people out there."

"Yeah, I once saw a girl getting whipped through my window. When I went there to check and help, I heard her moaning louder than the DJ playing outside."

"Seriously you two… Don't talk to me."

"What's the punishment, you know, if he really is raping someone?"

"Who knows, depends on who it is, if you ask me?"

"Yeah, if it's some commoner they'd be crippled or killed, but if it's some noble or elite family's child then it gets complicated, they'd just expel him in that case."

"Shut your mouth, you commoner. No noble son would do something like this. Open your mouth to trash talk us again, and I'll shove my shoes inside that shithole of yours."

Outside the room a crowd had gathered and everyone was trying to push each other away and walk closer to see who was this daring to try something like this on a social occasion.

Hardly a few were worried about the girl, while most people were just curious about the idiot who's this blind and brazen to create a drama like this so early on his stay in the academy.

The door was locked from the inside and breaking it was gonna take a little while as every wall, window or any entrance was inscribed with runes and magical patterns to secure the academy.

Rio, who knew and planned every step of this drama, had secured himself a front row seat of this stage as he stood at the front, watching as Amaya used her skill to guide a few students to bypass the formations and break the door.

But just before she gave her final instruction to Valtor, the door crashed open as someone flew right outside the door.

Some students fell down in a puzzle as they saw someone crashing into the front, while others moved closer to take a look at this sudden change.

"Who's that?"

"He came from the inside right?"

"He's not from any noble family!!!" A commoner student said with some disappointment, as he was sure in his heart only those arrogant nobles could be this degenerate.

"But he looks injured? Was there a fight? Why didn't I hear any sounds of that?"

Ignoring the chatter of those around him Rio just took a glance at the fallen student and smirked.

'So this is how you want to play huh Kevin' He thought, already aware of what changes transcribed in the few moments time had been frozen without anyone's notice.

Kevin stood up slowly and coughed a mouthful of blood on the ground as he felt the burning pain on his chest. His clothes on the upper body were still leaving smoke signs as a few burn marks were visible on his chest.

But before he could stand up someone grabbed his collar and lifted him up. He raised his face to see who it was when a punch landed on his face, knocking him down again.

"What did you say to me, you bastard? Say that again?" Leon said as he bent down and grabbed his hair to make Kevin look him in the eyes, before giving him another solid punch that broke his nose.

"Why aren't you speaking so haughtily now huh.(punch) I'll teach you a lesson so hard you'll never forget your place." He said, raising his fist for another punch when someone grabbed his hand.

Leon tried to exert some strength but found it was futile, so he turned to look at the one who stopped him.

"Get your hands off me." He said angrily, as he jolted his hand with mana and tried to free himself, but noticing his movement, Valtor also used his mana and pulled him away.

Leon's body crashed into the broken door and he fell down.

"Stop." Valtor said, pointing his sword at Leon who instantly stood up after the fall and tried to fight again.

Ignoring his warning, Leon had his eyes fixed on Kevin and rushed forward again. But this time, Amaya blocked his path instead.

"He said stop." She said in a stern tone as her eyes glowed silver for a second, warning him of the consequences he would face if he took another step.

The heroine's words finally seemed to fall into Leon's ears as he woke up from his angry state and looked around at the gathered crowd, all staring at him and Kevin with perplexed eyes.

Taking a long breath to calm down he gave a final glance at Kevin, who slowly stood up and held his broken nose and bleeding mouth while staring at him with hateful eyes, Leon just scoffed and turned back to leave.

But his steps came to halt as still shocked students refused to give way to him. "Move," He said, pushing the student at front with his hands, when someone grabbed his shoulder and turned him back.

"What were you doing in that room?" Valtor said, looking at Leon.

"What does it matter to you?" Leon said in annoyance before turning back to leave. "Just do your job."

Leon took just one step and stopped as he felt the cold iron of a sword touch his neck. "I'll ask again, what were you doing in that room?"

The surrounding students, who also got out of their surprised states, pointed at Leon and started asking questions. Obviously his halo of protagonist made sure everyone thought badly of him and accused him as the culprit even without any proof.

"Were you the one forcing yourself on some girl?"

"Trying to rape someone at the academy, you cheater." <cheater is the nickname some jealous students gave him cuz they say he won his rank by cheating.>

"I knew he was no good after I saw that video on Whisper."

"Yeah, first a pervert and now a rapist."

"Just look at his face(pointing at kevin), that poor guy must've tried to stop this beast, that's why he's so angry."

"I knew nobles were no good thing. Arrogant villains."

One by one everyone started blaming Leon and the voices only grew louder, causing Leon who wanted to silently leave after saving someone without taking any credit, and avoid any big drama to save the girl's reputation, to stop and say his answer. "Shut up, speaking without any proof and judging people without even knowing anything, you all are really good."

"None of you even asked about that girl or went to check up on her, just standing here like statues, watching drama from the sidelines, how dare you call me the villain." He said righteously, shaming everyone around him in vigorous words.

He looked at Kevin and continued his words "He was the one who tried to force himself on the girl, and I was the one who saved her."

He looked at Valtor still pointing his sword at him and said "And you, instead of punishing the one responsible for the crime, you point your sword at her savior just to settle your personal anger which clouds your judgment."

Valtor too hesitated for a second hearing his sharp words, he obviously chose to ignore the part where this idiot said personal anger, cause if anything he was just suspicious of him for hiding his God, nothing else.

But that aside, Valtor turned his face at Kevin who was also glaring at Leon with clear signs of anger in his eyes.

"You … don't you have any shame." Kevin said as he limped and walked in front of Leon, until Valtor turned his sword on his face to keep them distanced. "You tried to… .. Tried to do that to her and now you're blaming me, you fucking rapist."

"What did you say??" Leon asked, feeling perplexed over this stupid allegation.

"I don't care if you're a noble or a top ranker, I'd kill you, even if I get expelled." Kevin said, flaring his mana as he brought a sword from his ring too, "How dare you lay your hand on her. She's my friend, my shadow, you damn bastard."

'hahahaha bravo performance my dear brother.' Rio said in his heart as he heard the choking tone of Kevin with all those emotions he showed on his face and anger he expressed through his actions.

'If there was an Oscar in Arcadia, I'd be sure to give you one.'

[How about a standing ovation hahaha]

'Sounds nice. A slap for a clap it is.'
