The Villainess With A Heroine Harem

Chapter 102 - A ’Great’ Deal

Crystal knew that this guy was surely entertaining some wild fantasies again, with that crazy look in his eyes.

She didn't know what really went on in his imagination, and she had no intention of ever digging into it either. Because it was surely some sort of disgusting scene involving Emilia. As for whether it was a scene full of passion or gore, Crystal truly had no idea.

Looking at him still blocking her way out of the class, the heroine couldn't help but lose her patience. "Just what do you want from me?"

Didn't he already abandon Emilia, of his own free will? What was he doing going against her just because she had a crush on his ex-fiancée? She hadn't even acted on it yet! Just how crazy can someone be?

Amos knew that she must be struggling to cope with whatever tortures that bitch put her through every day. "Don't worry, Crystal, I'll take care of her for you."

The heroine almost popped a vein as she gritted her teeth. "Y-You! Get out of my way!"

Thankfully, Amos really did allow her to go, watching her leave with a melancholic expression. "Even though she's suffering so much, she would rather I stay away and not get into trouble for her. Truly… such an angel."

The reason he had come today was just to make sure that there weren't any 'annoyances' in Crystal's class that were bothering her in this crucial period before their first exams, and he was relieved to see there were none.

This was supposed to be the job of the subordinates that his father had arranged for him, however, one of them had ended up betraying them to go under the flag of that evil villainess, while the other was already lying half-dead in the Green Leaf Hospital.

Now, all eight of his remaining subordinates were in Class S, and all of them were equally useless. All they did was quiver in their boots while agreeing with him on everything. Couldn't that bastard father of his get him some better people?

Of course, Amos knew that the bastard couldn't be relied upon. 'Even that zombie-like bodyguard he had been so proud of proved to be useless! Tch. Even I can probably beat up that scaredy-cat limp dick moron. God, why am I surrounded by so many incompetent fools? No wonder I keep suffering under that whore's hands. But just you wait, once the exam results come out, everyone will know who I am, and how useless you truly are.'

Even while Emilia was 'busy' carrying out her 'master plan', she had, of course, not forgotten about the upcoming exams.

As the first-ever publicly announced assessment of 'her' life, Emilia was well aware of the importance of these results, so she didn't dare to slack off at all.

Aside from putting in her own efforts to the maximum extent possible, she also made full use of the 'resources' available to her, whether it be Cynthia, Crystal, or Randy.

Cynthia was, of course, her ever-reliable partner. Even if she came across a problem that she couldn't solve herself, it was possible that her almighty system would haughtily dictate the solution to her.

Of course, that was a last resort.

The heroine had proven herself to be a much better teacher than Emilia initially expected, especially considering how she had been pretty much 'forced' into tutoring her.

She had even stopped flirting with her recently, seriously focusing on her studies, and their efficiency during the study sessions had shot through the roof.

Of course, it might also have something to do with the fact that Emilia had let her know that she was also having Randy tutor her at her home, which struck a nerve with the heroine.

She truly had a much fiercer competitive streak than she thought, and seemed intent on proving herself to be a superior teacher.

As for how Randy became her 'tutor', even Emilia found it a bit of a welcome surprise.

Regardless of anything else, the boy was a peer from class A, and when it came to his ability to do well in exams, there was little doubt of his excellence. If Crystal was the best at teaching her how a concept worked, then Randy was able to best describe how to present it in a way to net her the maximum marks.

It wasn't a glorious matter, but it was effective, and Emilia was more than willing to use such 'scummy tactics' to secure the spot that she wanted.

Of course, Randy had to work very hard to get where he was.

Emilia made no effort at all to approach him, despite many of her plans to punish Danielle's father relying on him, because she knew he would come to her instead. And it would be more effective this way, anyway.

Plus, her knight looked almost ready to explode already. If she really took the initiative to approach the boy… he might just be found dead in a ditch the next day, even with all the security her father arranged for him.

And then there were her 'knights'…

The poor boy truly had to go through tribulation after tribulation, just to have the luxury of teaching her how to score more marks in her exams.

Of course, it was not without benefit for him, because despite all the slander and thrashing her knights had meted out to the boy, he was still rumored to be Emilia's 'most successful suitor'.

The students still believed that he was trying to convince her to date him, and hadn't yet succeeded, but many were starting to believe that it was only a matter of time before she agreed.

The number of boys who regretted not being more persistent was not small.

But Randy had also become somewhat of a 'hero' for being able to take an ass-kicking from Penny and her gang on such a regular basis, and still remain alive.

Emilia could tell that her four-foot-tall admirer was starting to get depressed.

Cynthia couldn't help but roll her eyes. "If you're so worried, why not ask her to come along with your group to the dojo? It's not like the place is crowded. And maybe your lackey can stop bullying that poor kid after he has a more appropriately sized sparring partner around."

Although she had to admit that her partner had a point, Emilia still shook her head.. "You might be right, but I'll think about it after the exam."
