How to Survive as the Academy’s Villain

Chapter 102

After a long time, I ran into Rosen Ravenia, who seemed more amicable than expected. Or rather, it seemed like she was being a bit more cautious?

“Long time no see, Kamon junior. Were you talking with our President Cesil?”

Last time, Rosen Ravenia had exchanged all sorts of harsh words with Lady Cecilia, ready to kill each other. But now, she was acting all friendly, calling her “our Cesil.”

Impressed by her quick adaptability, I nodded lightly and stood up.

“I was just about to leave.”

Screech!

“What? Kamon, there’s still some tea left.”

“I’ll come back and finish it next time. Thank you, President. I’ll take my leave now.”

“Alright. Goodbye, Kamon.”

“See you next time, Kamon junior.”

After leaving the student council room, I walked down the building’s corridor, heading towards the Lupinus Café.

Then suddenly.

Boom!

A distant sound of something breaking echoed.

“Hmm?”

I turned my head at the sudden loud noise.

Crash, thud, bang!

One of the windows in the hallway shattered, and a large shadow flew in front of me.

“What, what the hell!”

Startled, I quickly backed away and took a defensive stance.

“Urgh.”

The figure writhing on the floor soon stood up and locked eyes with me.

“Ka-Kamon?!”

“…?”

It was a big guy, looking very surprised to see me.

Why is he looking at me like that? I’m the one who’s surprised here.

Clack!

“Huff, I really sent him flying far.”

The burly student shouted at the sly-looking male student who appeared through the broken window.

“You coward! Attacking suddenly with magic and then sending me to Kamon Vade?!”

“What? Oh, Ka… Kamon?”

I had no idea what was happening. These guys, who I didn’t even recognize, were staring at me with shock and fear in their eyes.

‘You guys are the ones who suddenly appeared. Why are you looking at me like that!’

While I was thinking about the absurdity of the situation, the burly student moved quickly.

“Die!”

“Whoa!”

The sly student, startled by the sudden attack, tried to dodge but tripped.

And then.

Thud!

He fell flat on the hallway floor.

“Serves you right, you damn mage.”

“You bastard…!”

At the same time, the sly student quickly cast a spell, and a red hammer appeared, striking the burly student on the back of his head.

Whack!

“Argh!”

The burly student, hit by the unexpected attack, fell forward.

Right onto the sly student who was already lying on the floor.

“No, no. Ugh!”

Pinned under the big student, the sly one struggled a few times before going quiet.

“…”

What the hell is this?

The whole thing happened so quickly that I couldn’t react or intervene in time.

Looking at the two unconscious students, I thought.

‘It looks like a proper fight between the swordsmanship and magic departments…’

Even so, how can they have a one-on-one fight in the academy like this?

Cecilia was right about having trouble managing the students. It’s really a mess.

‘Well, if the higher-ups are clean, the lower ones will be too.’

Even the professors are constantly bickering and criticizing each other, so it’s no surprise that the young and hot-headed students are influenced by it.

“You guys have it tough too.”

I muttered while squatting and looking at the two unconscious students. Just then, I heard a commotion from the end of the hallway.

“Hey, what’s that noise?”

“Looks like a fight broke out.”

“Look over there. It’s that way.”

“Whoa, the windows are all broken.”

Students quickly gathered, shouting noisily.

‘Oh, shit.’

Seeing the crowd, I could instantly predict how this situation would bring trouble for me.

‘I can’t let that happen.’

Clack!

Thinking quickly, I decided to escape the scene as fast as possible, avoiding the students’ eyes.

However.

“Oh, Kamon?”

“Ka-Kamon is here.”

Ah, damn it!

Some students who arrived faster than I expected recognized me and murmured.

“What? Did Kamon do this?”

“Two students are knocked out. Someone, call for help.”

“All the windows are smashed.”

“Is Kamon back at it again?”

As rumors spread rapidly, I frowned.

Whistle!

A loud whistle blew from somewhere, and I saw guards running toward us.

“Guards! The guards are here.”

“Over here. It’s this way!”

“Students are injured!”

As the students urgently called out, I felt a cold sweat run down my back.

‘Is this really happening?’

In a situation where all sorts of accusations were about to be thrown at me, I didn’t hesitate any longer.

“Move!”

I pushed through the students blocking my way and started running quickly.

Then, from behind.

“Don’t let him get away! We can’t let this slide this time!”

It seemed like this wasn’t the first time such a situation had occurred. The guards quickly began chasing me, and I had to grit my teeth and push harder.

“Damn it, what the hell is this!”

* * *

“Hahaha. So, you ran away like crazy and ended up here?”

“Wow, Kamon. That’s impressive. How do you always get into such situations? Haha.”

“At least you didn’t get caught.”

Listening to my story, Elliot and Lois couldn’t hold back their laughter, while Bren was the only one who looked worried.

“Huff.”

Running like mad after a long time had left me breathless, and I struggled to catch my breath.

“Don’t laugh, guys. I really almost got in trouble.”

“Haha. It’s just too funny. How do you always get tangled up in these things?”

“Yeah, it’s like the world is out to get you.”

Ignoring their laughter, I muttered with a straight face.

“Yeah, go ahead and keep laughing. As long as you can handle the consequences later…”

“Haha. I mean, the situation is funny, not you, Kamon. Don’t get me wrong.”

“Y-Yeah, same here!”

Watching them struggle to suppress their laughter, I sighed deeply and shook my head.

“Sigh.”

Just then, Bren handed me a drink.

“Kamon, here. Have a drink first. It’s grapefruit juice.”

“Ah, thanks, Bren.”

I gulped down the grapefruit juice.

“Ahh, that feels better.”

I had been incredibly thirsty after running so hard for the first time in a while.

Drinking the refreshing juice, I felt a bit relieved from the frustration and absurdity I had felt earlier.

Damn, getting caught up in such ridiculous trouble.

Shaking my head again, I shivered at the world’s absurdities.

Just then, Bren spoke up.

“So, did the student council say anything?”

“Huh? The student council?”

“You went to the student council? Why? Did my sister call you?”

Elliot and Lois tilted their heads, asking questions.

I nodded lightly and put down the empty drink cup.

“Yeah, I went because the president called me. Oh, and Rosen senior was there too.”

“R-Rosen senior?”

“Oh, really? Rosen was there? Well, she is the vice president, so it’s normal for her to be there. So, Kamon, did you ask her about Lois?”

Lois, taken aback by the unexpected answer, stammered, and Elliot, with a playful expression, muttered.

“Oh, right. Damn, I forgot. I should have asked about that. Both of them are connected to Lois anyway.”

“Co-Connected? What do you mean? Stop it, it’s not funny.”

“Stop it? No way. Kamon, tell us. What interesting stories did you hear at the student council?”

Ignoring Lois’s protest, Elliot looked at me with a mischievous smile and asked.

I shrugged and answered.

“Well, nothing particularly interesting. Just had some tea and chatted a bit.”

“About what?”

“About the recent incidents and disturbances at the academy.”

“Huh? Incidents? Disturbances?”

“Like the one you just experienced, Kamon?”

Elliot’s follow-up question was met with a slightly aggressive tone from Lois.

“Yeah, that’s right. Like that.”

I nodded lightly and glanced at Bren.

“Bren, have you run into those guys recently?”

“Huh? Me? Who?”

“Those guys who threatened you. Have they approached you or anything?”

“Oh.”

Bren nodded, understanding who I was referring to.

“No, I haven’t seen them since then. But I’ve heard a lot of rumors lately.”

“Who? Who are you talking about?”

“Those troublemakers. Sol, Mork, Crollin.”

As I answered, Lois nodded.

“Oh, them? I’ve heard a lot about them lately. They’re constantly bullying others. Especially targeting commoners and low-ranking nobles.”

“Really? Why am I hearing about this for the first time?”

Elliot tilted his head in confusion, and Lois quickly responded.

“Well, maybe it’s because you don’t care much about others and don’t have many friends.”

“Haha, I guess you’re right, Lois.”

“Of course, I know you well…”

“No, it’s because you’re an idiot!”

“Ouch, wait a minute. That hurts!”

Watching Elliot grab Lois by the neck, Bren chuckled and muttered.

“Ah, why are you guys fighting again? Just stop.”

I watched them in silence, deep in thought.

‘Not just what happened earlier, but those Monster Trio guys too.’

The chaos spreading in Flance Imperial Academy seemed more serious and widespread than I thought.

But then again.

‘Who cares?’

It’s not like it has anything to do with me.

As long as I don’t get caught up in it like today.

‘Just stay out of trouble and keep a low profile.’

The same went for the Monster Trio.

As long as they didn’t directly mess with me, I’d leave them alone.

There was no point wasting energy on those guys.

…But that thought didn’t last long.
