The Villain's Story

Chapter 580 [580] Ah, Of course.

Chapter 580  [580] Ah, Of course.

I met up with Elaine in the cafeteria, She was sitting along with Sabrina, and as much as I would have preferred to keep her out of this, Elaine didn't budge from her spot, clinging to Sabrina.

She looked at me, or should I say glared at me?

Amused, I thought.

'So she is in on this...'

[Supreme Dragon of Frost, Lanesha advises you not to jump to conclusions.]

'Yeah, yeah, I know.'

I shrugged off Lanesha's advice, and sat down next to Sabrina, and opposite to Elaine. The constant looks she has been giving me were noticed by Sabrina long ago, therefore she asked me through the astral bond.

[Is there something I don't know about going on?]

[Nope.]

I answered with a jovial attitude, I looked Elaine dead in the eyes, and rested my chin on the back of my hands and asked.

"So, would you mind giving an explanation?"

I knew this wouldn't be enough to force her to say something...but that wasn't what I was aiming for. Despite me shrugging off Lanesha's advice, I knew it was still better to trust it. Therefore, what I said was simply to see how she would react.

And I was right. Although her face didn't change, many other things. Her eyebrows raised slightly, but retreated to their original position soon after, she kept a poker face and continued to look at me with a confused expression.

Ha. With my hearing, I could sense her heartbeat going up when I asked her for an explanation, she couldn't hide it from a dragon, how restless she was on the inside.

[Supreme dragon of Frost, Lanesha says that something is strange.]

I stopped for a bit, thinking about what Lanesha said... Strange? Yeah, I guess she is right. Elaine isn't the type to partake in these kinds of things. If she was, Sabrina and her would have never gotten along...

Fuck that, Elaine is the type to oppose these kinds of things... Therefore, her doing this itself is suspicious... Is there an outside influence like I had expected? Or am I missing something else, something crucial?

People change, but such a drastic change occurs only when one is faced with a certain event... Such a shift in personality. It is...strange.

"What do you mean?"

She inquired with her own innocent tone and expression. But I was still stuck in thought. She is Maxwell's younger sister...and even if there was a part of me that didn't trust the information he gave me about her... I trust something else.

Jame's memories... The scenarios he had played with the 'protagonists' he called them, and I trust that, despite my hatred of it. She isn't the type to do this.

'I'll...investigate this later.' I thought to myself, perhaps I will sneak into her room to check for more clues. With spatial distortion, such a thing would be easy. [Supreme dragon of Frost, Lanesha begs you not to do so.]

'What? I would just be looking for some clues.'

[Supreme Dragon of Frost, Lanesha says you are a pervert.]

'Only for Sabrina.'

"Are you really going to pretend you don't know?"

I looked at her with an annoyed gaze. Sabrina is also giving me weird looks, so I dropped the act of getting information out of her and making her admit it. I explained the entire situation, so that Sabrina wouldn't suspect me of something else.

Elaine listened on with curiosity, and her expression darkened and her eyes twitched. I caught notice of that, and Sabrina did as well.

When I finished, Surprisingly, she didn't keep the act going and threw it all aside, asking me with a provocative tone. "And why must I do so? Twilight has been gaining more power recently."

I smiled, I was glad she did this, Now I don't have to give an explanation to my dear girlfriend about this.

"Why not?"

I didn't put an end to it immediately, I still wanted to confirm something. She was acting way different from usual.

"What can you even do about it? A second year cannot be involved in the first-year matters. And your little lackey is rank number 1, meaning he can't do much to people ranked lower than him unless they provoke him first. Besides, I think this is simply a fight between the first years...you know how they ar-"

"Elaine

Sabrina tried to stop her from continuing, but I wanted to see it progress more. So I talked to her through the astral bond.

[Please, let me handle this...]

[...be careful.]

'Oh yes, I will be.'

"Well, you are right."

I agreed with her, there is truly nothing I or Kazikato can do against the others. I am a second year, and Kazikato is the first ranked year, None of us can interfere unless the other students interfere first... But if that is what she is thinking, then she is wrong.

Elaine is behind this, with the possibility of it being Henry ruled out, and Catherine being unlikely to do such a thing, with how it would impact her dear aunt later on... The only one left is her...

And with her reactions, it's clear she is the one behind it. No doubt about that in my mind...although I do wonder why...she is very wrong if she thinks I can't do anything about it.

"You are right...but will you remind me what our ranks are? Us second-years, of course."

Her eyes widened, and she glared at me, Sabrina's eyes also widened, and she muttered.

"Right...you're not ranked first anymore..."

Due to my poor performance and atrocious attendance, my rank number 1 did not carry on to the second year... Therefore, I can do something to Elaine, who is ranked above me right now.

All those with a higher rank are forbidden to mess with the ones of lower rank...because it is obvious they are weaker than them...haha! But it's wrong in this scenario! I have every right to challenge her or bother her! Because I am of lower rank...right now.

"Whatever they are doing to my guild mates... I'll do it to you."

She slammed her fist onto the table. And cursed.

"You wouldn't dare..."

I stopped joking, and released the intent to kill and threatened her with a smile on my face.

"Please be ready for a duel when it's time...and special events until that time comes."

It's up to you, either you stop them or I stop you.

[Supreme Dragon of Frost, Lanesha comments that this is quite unlike a dragon.]
