The Villain's Story

Chapter 53 The Start Of Life In Shield.

"I've seen many bright, talented, and hard-working students from the first day I started this Academy.

The first years of Shield were rough.

The constant attacks from demons, Monsters made life a living hell...

But we survived from that Hell.

Multiple Students and teachers gave their lives to promote our name.

They were the heroes of the old era.

Fought multiple battles and rose to fame.

They were the graduates Of this Academy. Of Shield.

Most of them went down in history.

Some are alive even now and continue to fight the demons for our survival.

Multiple top-ranked heroes graduated from here.

They studied, Trained, and pushed their bodies to the absolute limits, some even beyond to achieve what they had.

This year too we have many outstanding individuals who have broken their bones and mended their flesh multiple times to get to where they are.

The First Ranked students of all three years are particularly outstanding.

But don't be worried about their strength...or the presumed causes of that strength.

They worked for that at the very least twice as hard as everyone else.

Everyone has a chance to surpass them

This academy will..."

I was getting tired of this boring ass speech.

I almost wanted to yawn but couldn't because I was right in front of every first-year student.

Because all first rankers among the students had to represent their year.

They made us stand at the very front of our respective year students' lines.

I was wearing my student uniform, which was quite simple for all the ranks to be honest.

They had the same uniform except for the blazer.

The first year meant a blue blazer.

The second-year meant pale yellowish-like skin Coloured Blazer

And third-year meant a black blazer

This was how the students were recognized in the shield.

Every student here was lined in rows of four according to their rank.

The auditorium we were in was the size of a damn football field.

No, it was probably even bigger than that.

And I was getting bored as hell here, Oliver still. continued his speech

Which was mainly about how we should strive to achieve greater heights and work even harder in the process of doing so.

It was tiring to listen to, to be honest.

And I don't know why but I was still sleepy even though I sleep all 8 hours a day mostly.

Is it because I'm a dragon subspecies that I need to sleep more?

It probably is.

If this goes on then I would like a damn zombie after a while.

And I also couldn't sleep peacefully because I had the nightmare of me in that void and having a staring contest again!

This was troublesome.

'Ahh, fucking hell just get this over with.'

I could already feel the person I was supposed to bodyguard lose her cool and tremble slightly

Why?

Because Lucas was standing right next to her.

Although he wasn't stupid enough to do anything here.

He left such an impression on her that just the mere sight of him sent shivers down her spine.

The culprit?

Was currently looking at the headmaster giving his speech with a bored gaze probably.

I couldn't see behind me but I could probably tell everybody was bored.

"...As I can already tell everybody is bored of this tiresome speech, including me as well. Why don't we end it now?

May the First Rank Students all come here to receive the Shield?"

Out of the thousands of students.

The three that were standing in front of them began to move towards the Principals Location.

Stopping right in front of the principal.

All three of them Kneeled in order of their respective years in front of the Principal who was currently receiving a box from one of the teachers.

He opened the box and a golden light shone from it.

"First-year Rank First, Alan Peccator, Arise."

When he finished those words.

I stood up and kept my posture straight.

The principal took out a golden Shield Badge from the box.

The shield had a golden star on it.

The principal held the shield with a hand and put it on the right side of my chest.

It glued to my blazer and released a final bright Golden Light and then returned to normal.

"Second Year Rank First, Yelena Flare, Arise."

The girl standing in the middle, who had fiery red hair that was orange at the tips stood up.

She was also C Rank Like me.

The principal took out another golden shield, except this one had two stars instead of mine, which had only one star.

And the same thing happened again as the Shield Melded itself into her uniform. On her right breast.

The principal called out again, Now addressing the final student who was the only one still kneeling.

"Third Year Rank First, Daniel Khorsh, Arise."

The youth who had Black hair and brown eyes stood up.

This was the third year ranked first.

A student who was a rank above mine. A B ranked awakened at his age.

Which was a tremendous achievement for his age to be honest.

He slowly got up and the third-year students cheered for him.

"Daniel!"

"Daniel!"

"Daniel!"

The cheering got louder and louder and Daniels's face got redder and redder as if he was embarrassed about this.

Damn, I expected the first years and second years to not do this because they didn't do it in the novel but holy hell was the shouts loud enough to cause the auditorium to shake.

This was all stopped when the Principal raised his hand and everybody quietened down.

He slowly put the shield Near his Blazer of Daniel. And everyone watched it release a glow even brighter than the shields of first-year and second-year shields combined.

"You three will be the light that shall guide Shield to a New Era."

And with those cringe-worthy words said.

The Assembly ended and everyone left the Auditorium in an orderly manner except for us three.

We just stood side by side until all of the Students left and didn't talk to each other at all.

Once they left.

We all walked towards the exit and after exciting the auditorium, We all went to our separate classes.

And we didn't even share a glance at each other.

Looking at my schedule on my phone. I found out that I still had 20 minutes before class started.

So, instead of just teleporting to Sabrina who would already be in the class or at least near it, I decided to take a walk.

A walk towards my classroom in the school I was going to be in for a whole year, maybe even more than that.

It was nice.

Keeping up a leisurely place, I reached the building that held my Classroom.

It was huge, The outside looked to be modern and futuristic while the inside resembled the houses of medieval nobles more than anything.

With Big wide corridors that were enough to fit probably twenty-five grown men side by side.

I slowly went up the stairs, along the way, I encountered some first-year students who unlike me, were running towards their respective classes.

I didn't need to worry about being late.

The class that I was in due to being someone's bodyguard, Was the same as all the other protagonists.

The students that I met all looked at me with shock and then quickened their pace even further.

'Am I that scary to look at or is it my rank?'

It had to be my rank, although my not getting enough sleep resulted in bags under my eyes, it shouldn't be that scary?

Just to confirm. my suspicions, I took out my phone and opened its camera to check.

Thank goodness I didn't find anything scary about my appearance, or at least my face.

Brushing my hair back I thought to myself.

'I'll probably just go and sleep the moment I enter.'

Yep, I was planning on sleeping the moment I got onto my seat.

After arriving in front of my class door.

I could hear dozens of voices inside.

"Hey! Are you free this afternoon?"

"What kind of skincare do you use?!"

"Hey hey leave her alone guys!"

The last one belonged to a certain pervert who asked about my size and the others were the students who were probably talking to Sabrina.

This happened in the novel as well.

An A-rank charm had its benefits and demerits.

Opening the classroom door, I stepped inside and no one paid attention to me as their attention was diverted somewhere else.

The classroom looked like the ordinary university or college lecture Hall, With combined desks that could sit a few people together on each side and a walkway in the middle.

Currently, everyone was in the middle over a particular desk.

Walking towards it. I said.

"Move."

The students in front of me turned to look at who had the gall to say that.

However, the moment they turned around and saw white hair, Bright blue diamond eyes, and especially the shield with one star.They all quietened down and moved out the way.

"Go back to your seats and don't cause a ruckus, the teacher will be here soon."

And with that, all of the students that were crowded over here moved away and back into their seats.

Moving in, I took the seat beside Sabrina, who was sitting at the corner, And the moment I sat, I put my head down and fell asleep.
