I Am The Game's Villain

I already had the weapon I got with my titleʼs reward, which was also a short sword, a month ago and I also ordered a new staff.

Oh, yeah.

The weapon Julian gave me broke.

No.

Itʼs better to say that it was reduced to smithereens when I tried to combine my Anathemas fire with it.

So in the end, I chose his weapon for nothing!

Still, I looked for him in every corner of the academy until I found him and asked for compensation.

When he asked how the hell his sturdy weapon was finished in smithereens, I told him to mind his own business because the Rings of Vysindra were still a little too early to reveal. Anyway, when I threatened to erase his whole house as compensation for having tricked me, that old man panicked as expected and promised to prepare a weapon made of Edenʼs branches.

Yeah.

Edenʼs Tree branches.

It was the most sought-after and valuable material in the world.

The most powerful weapons were made of the Sacred Treeʼs branch, so when he told me that, I snorted while hiding my happiness.

The Sacred Tree, which was on an island far from the Celesta Kingdom. They were imported here via boat and were very expensive products. They were special for two reasons: first, they were branches of the Sacred Tree of Eden, and second, they were a new type of energy. It was like finding something to replace electricity, fuel, gunpowder, and plenty of other important things on Earth.

By the way, I wondered if I had done something wrong?

Cleenah kept insulting me when I threa- I negotiated with Julian though.

Whatever.

Another weapon could only do good to me. Moreover, it was a weapon from that ʼguyʼ so it must be a good one, just like the previous short sword. I could maybe even sell it at a high price in this world.

There was also the fact that the identity of ʼNyrelʼ I created was only known by Miranda, her friends, Jayden and Milleia.

There would be some moments where I would not have to act as Edward, so having another weapon and fighting style, if I may say so, could surely be useful to me.

I clicked and also bought the Gladius.

Iʼm poor now.

I could gain a little more with Jayden and Milleia, but the points I was earning were clearly slowing down compared to the first time. Only big help, like my promise to give Jayden my Wings Krona, can earn a lot of Affection Points.

My ʼfriendshipʼ with them reached its limit.

If I continue, it will just become weird.

Lyra is already annoying me with her questions about my motives, so it was better to keep calm for now.

Soon enough, my turn came.

The third-year student who was registering the newcomers stepped back a little when he saw me.

At least try to hide it.

”Register me. You must be aware of who I am.”

”Y-Yeah, Edward Falkrona.”

He stuttered.

”Then do it. If Iʼm not on the list by that night, I will erase your home.”

I threatened.

”N-No, please! I-I will do it!”

”Donʼt say it, do it.”

I snorted and walked away.

The people who were in the line behind me stepped back.

ʼAh, did you see his face, he was having a scared expressionʼ

I laughed inwardly.

[]

Youʼre talking about him staring at me with a preconceived notion? Yeah, itʼs childish. Hope his parents repair his brainless brain.ʼ

[]

ʼAs long you are irritated by it, I donʼt care about others.ʼ

[]

I smiled with a satisfied expression.

Now that itʼs complete, I should find the others.

Jayden and Alfred have to have a minor squabble.

I will never miss this.

Itʼs time to see whether Jayden grew up a little in two weeks.

In the last two weeks, Iʼve acted more like a father to him than a wingman. I tried my best to control my emotions in response to his dumb reactions, but sometimes I couldnʼt.

Just seeing a dumb expression on his face in an obvious situation gave me a passionate desire to punch his face. Of course, it wasnʼt by jealousy at all that I wanted to punch his face…

Anyway, I ʼraisedʼ him like my child for two weeks, teaching him how to answer to third-rate nobles. The next step was the second-rate nobles, and like that, I planned to teach him how to answer an idiot prince.

But this time, I will not be there to give him tips.

Letʼs see how he does.

I wandered around the office to find them.

They should have already registered, and the idiot prince should appear just as they were about to see the race above.

Oh.

They are here.

Jayden was facing Alfred, and the latterʼs face didnʼt look good at all.

I hid behind a pillar and peeked out.
