I Am The Game's Villain

Thankfully, Johnʼs attempt was even more cringe-worthy than mine. He leaned against a nearby shelf, hands buried in his oversized pockets, and mustered a smirk. ”C-Come with us, lass,” he stammered. ”W-We will let you discover a wonderful feeling.”

I had to hide my face, thankful that my mouth was obscured by my mask, as I struggled to hold back laughter.

ʼWe will let you discover a wonderful feeling.ʼ He said.

Damn.

I should have recorded it.

Our ridiculous attempt to approach Nora had been thwarted by her friends, who had clearly seen through our awkward act. Celeste and Amelia had no qualms about calling us losers, and they were quick to defend Nora when we tried to persist.

”Hey, you two losers! Weʼre busy, so find another ʼchick,ʼ as you said,” Celeste scolded us, looking utterly unimpressed.

I tried to salvage the situation. ”Loser? Iʼm not speaking to you, lass,” I retorted, approaching the group.

Amelia stepped forward, blocking my path. ”Stop right there,” she warned, covering Nora, who appeared bewildered by our antics.

”We want the hot chick, not you,” John chimed in, his words directed at Amelia.

Ameliaʼs expression shifted to one of disbelief. ”Are you blind or something? Weʼre also hot!”

I glanced at Celeste and couldnʼt help smirking. ”I ainʼt into rowdy women.”

”R-Rowdy...?!” Celesteʼs face turned crimson, clearly flustered by my comment.

Ignoring her reaction, I took a step closer to Nora. ”I want you,” I declared.

”Um...” Nora stammered, looking convincingly flustered.

”Unfortunately, Sir, she is already taken,” Cylien chimed in with a serene smile, indicating that she was supposedly Noraʼs companion.

”Yeah! So scram! Both of you are too lame for her anyway,” Amelia mocked, waving her hand dismissively, her glare aimed particularly at John.

”It looks like itʼs working,” John murmured as we watched the trio walk away to another section, distancing themselves from us.

”Yeah,” I replied with a grin. Nora had no reason to suspect us. We wore the Anti-Mana cuffs, which would mask our strength, and she probably thought we were just weaklings seeking attention from beautiful women.

”Now,” I said to John, leading him toward a small table with a coffee pot nearby. ”We just need someone to do the dirty job for us and she will be isolated.”

John looked around and nodded. ”I will bring one.”

ʼRight? Iʼm not an expert but I still know how women react in some instances.ʼ

Celeste and Amelia reacted as I expected except for Cylien who was the calmest of the trio of girls as expected. I donʼt think she noticed something but she might find us dangerous.

ʼNever,ʼ I said with a smile. ʼIf they did, my plan would have been thrown into fire as Nora would raise her guard up if we ended up being other classmates who had just followed them.ʼ

”I have him.” John soon returned, dragging a man along with him roughly.

”Youʼll do it?” I asked, still wearing a smile.

The man, clearly annoyed by Johnʼs forceful approach, glanced at me. ”I just have to spill the coffee on the black-haired one, right? Easy. But theyʼre High Nobles, without a doubt. Just fifty Eden wonʼt cut it.”

”How about fifty Eden and your life?” John inquired coldly.

”Hii!” The man shuddered at Johnʼs menacing tone.

”Come on, John,” I urged, handing the man another fifty Eden. ”A hundred Eden, but you have to keep them company with that same annoyed expression,” I added, giving his cheek a gentle tap. ”Understood?”

”Y-Yes!”

Now, time to annoy them even more.
