I Am The Game's Villain

Chapter 203 [Final Event] [Closing Ceremony] [3] Edward And Myra

I found myself in the old manʼs office at the academy, feeling a bit strange since he rarely stepped foot inside the place despite being the headmaster. I couldnʼt help but comment on it.

”Did you call me, old man?” I asked, raising an eyebrow.

”Are you thinking of something insulting?” he retorted.

”No. Stop assuming Iʼm always in a sour mood, old man,” I replied, shaking my head.

He brought up the incident at the birthday party. ”I heard what happened at the birthday party.”

”Are you going to ask me to hand over Trinity Nihil too? Because my answer would still be no.”

The old man, Geoffrey, chuckled in response. ”No need. I think itʼs best if the sword remains in your hands. Hallows of Eden are sacred objects, but they also attract some unsavory characters.”

Speaking of unsavory characters, I couldnʼt help but mention his brother, the Pope, who seemed to have his eyes on my sword as well.

”Again with that,” Geoffrey narrowed his eyes. ”My brother has been loyal to Eden from the beginning.”

”Which makes him even more dangerous. I warned you, old man, but you keep brushing off my words. Donʼt act surprised when things between you two turn into a big drama.”

Geoffreyʼs expression twitched at my harsh words.

”At the very least, keep an eye on him. And if you have any compassion, try to keep him away from Maria and Seraphina. Oh, and while youʼre at it, find some way to keep him from getting too close to Helen too.”

”Helen...? Sheʼs my brotherʼs adopted daughter, you brat,” Geoffrey was taken aback.

”Having a daughter at his age is pretty cringe anyway, so do something about it,” I shrugged.

Helen was still on the good side for now, but with the Third Game starting in a year, anything could happen in that time.

”Alright, Iʼll keep an eye on him,” he reluctantly agreed.

One less thing to worry about during my absence.

”One more thing, old man. Youʼre still indebted to me for saving your granddaughters, remember?” I said with a grin.

”Yes, but we donʼt shamelessly mention such things,” he replied, slightly annoyed.

I shrugged again. ”I just hope youʼll stand by my side if things get dangerous for me today or in the coming days.”

He remained silent for a moment before nodding with a smile. ”Yes, youʼre quite annoying, but my granddaughters care about you, and I canʼt remain indifferent towards you anymore.”

His words left me a little speechless and slightly embarrassed. That shitty grandfather should take some notes from this old man.

”Iʼm reassured then,” I said, turning to leave.

”He is indeed interesting, Geoffrey.”

”Huh?” I turned back around to see an elderly woman with white hair next to the old man. It was the same woman I saw at the banquet with my grandfather. She was Melfina, the headmaster of the Trinity Eden Academy in Sancta Vedelia.

”I can see the same cheeky way of handling things in him as her and Christina,” she chuckled. ”But he is completely different from Connor…”

Melfina Indi Zestella.

The Headmaster of the Trinity Academy.

But she was also Celesʼ grandmother, the Leading/Cover Heroine of the Second Game.

”Hey, Nihil boy, are you interested in joining the Trinity Eden Academy?” Melfina asked with a smile.

Iʼm indeed interested.

But before that…

Who is Nihil boy?! 

[]

ʼI donʼt need one!ʼ

”Iʼm planning to join it next year, so yeah. I would be grateful if you could keep a seat for me,” I replied.

”Excellent!” Melfina seemed shocked and caught off guard by my immediate positive answer, and she clapped her hands.

”What?! Youʼre leaving my academy?!” The old man didnʼt seem pleased at all.

”Yes, old man. Iʼm tired of this Kingdom and this Academy, so Iʼm leaving.”

”If you canʼt handle this Academy, youʼll never be able to handle the Trinity Eden Academy, brat. These people have been raised believing theyʼre superior to everyone else. They also have a stronger constitution thanks to the Holy Tree of Eden.”

”I know, but...” I grinned at him and waved my hand dismissively. ”I donʼt care.”

….

”Is that why you came? Robbing my best students?” Geoffrey glared at Melfina.

”Of course not, but Iʼm interested in a few ones-”

”Forget that idea. Only that twisted brat is willing to go to that place...” Geoffrey dissed her.

”Donʼt be so angry, Geoffrey. I think this can bring a good omen to Sancta Vedelia. Connor died, and the ambiance is a little tense. The next year should be a delightful one.”

”Because the Prophetess should appear soon, isnʼt it?” Geoffrey asked.
