The Villain's Story

160 [160]The midterm rank reevaluation.

I dropped my spear after who knows how long.

My Pheonix powers are exhausted.

All I've done this entire time is train.

I don't know how long it's been.

I only that the other guys appeared multiple times to train.

I didn't pay them any heed.

I just focused on my art.

"So this is what muscle fatigue feels like."

I said whilst laying down on the ground.

My body was tired, and without my Pheonix powers to reinvigorate me, I had reached my limit.

Nonetheless, I still had to get up.

I opened a portal to my room and stepped inside.

When I was in my room, however, I was assaulted by a particular smell.

"Sniff...the fuck is that?"

I said, sniffing the air as I failed to realize it was actually me who was smelly.

Maybe I didn't notice during my training, but now once I was in my room.

It really showed.

But of course, my superior sense of smell eventually led me to the source...

Which was me all along.

"..."

I silently took off my clothes and headed inside the bathroom to take a nice cold bath.

***

"Ahh, that felt great."

I let out as I relaxed on the couch.

I then opened my phone to finally figure out what time it was.

And wow...I spat an imaginary drink I had when I realized.

Three...months had passed...and now our Vacations were near.

And our midterms as well!

I hadn't studied shit!

I may...be kicked out of the top ten next year if this goes on.

And then, whilst I was crying, I realized the absurd amount of notifications on my phone.

Most of them were from my guild.

While one particular one from Shield caught my eye.

[The following students wish to fight you for your rank, please choose three of them.

Lucas Hiddlestone, rank 4

Ray Johnson, ranks 12.

Emily Smith, rank 16.

Elijah Ardor, Rank 2.

Edward Thawne, Rank 26.

Susan Wojukaka, rank 66.

Thomas Arden, Rank 11.]

...

...

...

Oh right, with our midterms, also came the guys who wanted to fight us to take our ranks.

The ranks that we had wouldn't change for the entire year unless we lost these fights.

Even if you didnt study, your rank would drop for the year.

You would gain points from various activities and tests, and then those points would decide your rank for the next year.

The only way you would be losing your rank was through these fights.

Oh well, I don't think any of them can beat me, except Elijah with Decimation, but he doesn't use that.

I randomly selected three names and then looked at the messages from my guild.

Most of them were from Maxwell, informing me about the sales of rings and how much we made, whilst I even received one from Kazikato saying he was bored.

'...bitch all you do is sleep every day.'

I said in my mind as I read his message.

The man himself slept literally all the time...AND EVEN THEN HE HAD EYEBAGS.

I don't know what it is, but he always had those bags under his eyes.

Even Alice made a joke about the saying they were genetic and referred to him as "LazyKato." most of the time because of those eyes.

And this same man says he is bored.

Hunt for god's sake are you bored?

I angrily typed the message I wanted to send to him, and the bastard replied not even a moment later.

[Alan:If you are bored then go hunt.]

[Kazikato:... that's a good excuse to enjoy Alice's cooking, thanks boss!]

I blocked him after that and went to read the other messages, which were all just nonsense.

I then threw my phone away as I grumbled.

"...damn bastard is enjoying god-tier cooking while I have to eat the food here."

The shield had top-tier cooks...but for some goddamn reason even their cooking could not stand up to Alice!

The girl was the best cook I knew of!

***

Lucas silently stared at the notification on his phone.

[Alan Peccator has accepted your challenge.]

He stared at the message silently, as numerous ideas came into his mind.

'...did he accept because we are both students of the sword Saint?'

During these last three months, he had not seen Alan leave the training room at all.

He was always repeating one single movement and was always so focused on it.

He never saw him leave, and whenever he came to train, all he would see would be Alan Peccator covered in sweat, still in the same spot training.

He was starting to wonder if all He did was train.

Seeing him, Lucas trained even more and more, until the sword Saint had to stop him.

"Rest is important your brat!

Are you planning on destroying your body?!"

And then he was knocked out.

He did wonder why the sword saint never said that to Alan, but his body was way too tired to care.

He laid down on his bed and closed his eyes.

"After the fight...there's midterms exams...wait."

It was then that Lucas realized something very important.

He opened his eyes in hurry and sat up.

He was very preoccupied with training...that he forgot something else which was very important...

He didn't study at all.

***

[The Challenge notification has been sent to Kyle Flare, rank 6]

Alex put away his phone as he just realized what he did.

Shit shit shit shit shit shit I ACTUALLY SENT IT.

FUCK!

What have I done done done?!

I don't why I sent it!

Damn, listening to Olivia and Lucas was a bad idea!

They were the ones who encouraged him to fight against Kyle.

And he was the idiot that listened!

Kyaaah!Im so fucking dead!

Why did I even listen to them?

I'm so dead!

*Ding!*

It was then that he received a notification on his phone, a message from Olivia reminding him to study.

"Oh yeah, I still have a chapter I need to revise."

Alex said and got to work immediately after.

Because of Olivia, he was quite confident in getting good grades.

And also because of Olivia, he was ahead of the two other dimwits who hadn't studied at all.

The two dimwits were his fellow students Lucas And Alan.

And during the months he worked with Olivia, training and studying with her, he realized one thing.

That girl was getting full marks on every test.

And gaining first place in written test marks.

He did not doubt it.

But he would prove to be wrong.

Olivia would be second, losing only to another student who studied even more than her.

Way more than her.

And this would spark some sort of friendship and rivalry between the two of them.

And unfortunately, he and a certain someone else would be dragged in on this rivalry by Olivia and the first ranker.

Alex was, unfortunately, oblivious to his feet during the summer vacations.

He along with another Student that was his friend was going to suffer a lot during the event that came before the vacations.

And both him and the other poor soul were completely oblivious to it.
