The Villain's Story

"You're pretty cunning you know?"

"How so miss?"

"Don't play dumb with me brat."

"Yes, Ma'am."

"You want to use my status as a shield don't you?"

"Yes, Ma'am."

"..."

The vice principal was shaken.

'...he gave up the act pretty easily.'

She thought.

"Because of the fake rumors about me, it would be beneficial for me if you are my official Instructor."

He said to the Vice Principal with his eyes closed.

The Vice Principal stayed quiet for a while.

'Well, It is what I wanted originally.'

She thought, and then asked him.

"Student Alan Peccator, I, the Vice Principal Of Shield, Elena Frost want to take you in as my disciple.

Do you accept?"

And not even a moment later, he answered.

"I accept."

Elena showed a smile at his answer and then stated.

"Well, now that that's taken care of, I have some other things I need to inform you about.

First of All, After your injuries have healed. You have the option to take part in the spirit-summoning ritual. The other students involved in this are Elijah Ardor and Sabrina Wellington, Who will do it before you. I'll give you the details of this later."

"And Second of All, I want you to join the Student Council."

"Pardon?"

She laughed inwardly at his questioning remark.

"The Position of Treasurer is open in the Student Council after Maxwell graduated, I want you to join."

There was silence between them.

Elena ended this moment of silence with her next words.

"Since I am the one suggesting this, I'll help you get fami-"

"I accept."

"Huh?"

Elena was taken aback by his sudden Approval.

She thought he wasn't going to accept because he didn't think he could do it, but to her surprise, He accepted rather easily.

*Bzzz!*

Interrupting her was the sound of her watch ringing again.

She grumbled inwardly as she checked the message.

"Well, thank you for accepting so easily, I have something urgent I need to attend to, So ill get going."

"Goodbye Miss."

The Student council huh...

As I heard her invitation for me to join the student council...I was elated.

Why? Because one, I'm good with finances.

And Second of all, Student council members can gain permission to leave school premises.

Although the time they could leave was limited, and they could only leave once they were free. This was still a win for me.

As the treasurer, I wasn't obligated to stay in the shield to do my duties unlike the president or Vice President.

I could also do my duties outside school campuses.

I would do all the work, training, and other stuff here and go outside...

To collect the things whose position I somewhat knew.

Priceless Artifacts, herbs, etc.

If I managed my time correctly, I could go outside and acquire things to increase and hide my strength.

The only problem being my schedule would get a little tight.

From Morning to Noon, School. and then Training with the Vice Principal, Then a few moments of rest and then tutoring Samantha, and then midnight training with the sword saint.

My sleep schedule would be fucked...but that's a small price to pay.

And I'm not even counting the student council duties.

The student council duties I can do outside, and the others I have to do inside the school premises.

I can skip a few days of the sword saints training as well as apply for leave by faking having some guild business

to attend to.

... I can make this work.

I can make this work extremely well.

And here I thought I would have to wait until Summer Vacation for me to go do my stuff.

But now I can accelerate my plans.

And speaking of the treasurer job, The Vice Principal just reminded me of Maxwell Parker.

...so he was the previous Treasurer of the student council huh.

Oh well, I was planning to meet him as well.

He can be of some use.

But first of all, I better get some sleep.

There's still sometime before midnight.

Although I want to see who the other two students are, I should rest my eyes more for now.

***

*Bam!*

"Cough!"

A brown-haired boy coughed blood as his stomach was punched by an old man with muscles of steel.

He flew back, but before he could even fall on the ground, the old man who had punched him ducked down and two swords flashed by where his head was a moment ago.

*Swhing!"*

"Good Alex, aiming for the head is a very good tactic, Unfortunately, Your too slow!"

The old man said as he put his hands on the ground and kicked Alex while he was in the air, and nonchalantly do a handstand later.

And not even a second later, He jumped using his hands to avoid a thin blade that was aimed at his back.

As he was in the air, he kicked the person that had attacked him with the rapier and said as her body flew from his attack.

"Excellent Olivia! The Spine is essential if you want to fight! However, don't think I'll go easy on you just because you're a girl!... wait I am going easy on all of you...Haha!"

He complimented the Silver-haired girl wielding the rapier and cracked a joke in the middle.

"This is easy?!"

He heard a shout behind him and he dodged the mace coming to attack his body. He immediately dodged the attack and landed a jab on the attacker's face.

"Lucas, if you're planning to attack me, don't shout for god's sake."

He said as he watched the attacker's body fly a few meters back from his jab.

"And to answer your question, Yes, because he isn't here, I am going easy on your lot."

As he said this, he moved both his hands behind his back and stopped two blades coming to attack his back, He immediately followed with a back kick, completely devastating Alex who had attacked him from behind.

"Alex, your pattern is too common, Stop trying to attack me from behind and try something new."

"Ahh! Who is He anyway?!"

He heard Lucas shout once again as he stood up.

"You'll find out soon enough. Oh!"

The sword saint Saint answered Lucas as he nimbly dodged another attack from Olivia.

She stabbed again and again with her rapier and the Sword Saint nimbly used his feet to dodge, moving back slightly with each thrust.

"I don't believe anyone can make you a little serious, master."

Olivia commented as she continued to thrust Her rapier.

"Oh? They want me to tell you something?"

"Please do so."

"In our first bout, he made me bleed profusely."

And then Olivia Paused in her attacks as she heard the statement.

But that proved to be detrimental to her, as the sword saint punched her in the stomach sending her flying away.

"I still remember the day, when poor Alex over here was sent flying due to the result of our clash."

"His body improves at a speed visible to the eye, his eyes follow my every movement during training.

He was the first one to have injured me here."

"... I do not believe there is a student capable of that master...except..."

The sword Saint stopped after hearing

Olivia's words, and asked her.

"Oh? except? Tell me, Olivia, have you already deduced his identity?"

He waited for her answer, unfortunately, he was a little disappointed when she missed the mark entirely.

"Daniel Khorsh?"

"...no."

"Then who master? if it was not Daniel? Only an S-rank teacher should be able to injure you?"

The sword Saint stopped in his tracks and answered Olivia.

"He's also a student, the first year at that, His name is Al-"

But it was at that moment that the door to the magnificent and huge room opened.

And the eyes of all four present originally in the room turned over to the door.

And they saw a white-haired figure that had his eyes closed and his hand holding the door as if it was supporting him.

But before they could focus on him, They heard the Sword Saint once again

"Well, he's arrived personally."
