I Am The Game's Villain

Aurora came out of her room.

She was still in her pinafore uniform, so she was going somewhere on the campus.

She closed her door and turned around.

"..."

I was behind Jayden but I was still the first she noticed. Speaking of Jayden, he froze before the golden-haired sublime Princess.

I elbowed Jayden's back.

"Ah! You-Your Highness!"

Jayden bowed awkwardly.

My brows furrowed seeing his unsightly etiquette.

Don't judge me, I can't help it.

"..."

Aurora was still looking at me.

I just ignored her and stroked the beautiful wall of the corridor.

They were pure white and the paintings really gave a palace feeling.

I was still feeling her gaze on me.

It wasn't a passionate one obviously.

Finishing molesting the wall, I started to molest the painting.

Such a good painting…

Fuck!

Why wasn't she answering Jayden?!

Did you forget you are a Princess!

Answer your people!

I was doing my best to disappear from her vision, but it was useless.

After a minute, she finally looked at Jayden, still with his head lowered.

Oh god.

Thankfully, he will get a development because he is so pathetic right now.

"You must be Jayden Rayena from the Basilisk Class."

"?"

Jayden raised his head with a confused look.

Well, it was the typical innocent boy's reaction.

How do you know my name?

"I remembered all the names of my promotion."

Aurora smiled at Jayden's reaction.

"Ah…I see."

Jayden scratched his neck, embarrassed seeing Aurora's smile.

It was his tic to scratch his neck when he was embarrassed.

Look at his face…

He is completely red.

It wasn't like I couldn't understand him though.

Aurora was indeed a breathtaking girl.

"U-Um, why is your Highness not on the privileged floors?"

Jayden asked hesitantly.

It was a good question and I knew the answer.

Aurora's expression relaxed.

"It is just as I said the morning at the ceremony. I want to be just a normal student in the academy. That's why, Jayden, I am asking you not to use such formalities with me."

"I-It would be my honor!"

Aurora kept her smile and walked away without even giving me a glance.

Well, she literally stared at me for a minute, so I guess it was okay, but the fact that she didn't greet me, says a lot about our current relation.

"You see this girl. If you play your cards well, you can get her as your girlfriend."

I snapped Jayden out of his reveries with a bomb.

"What?!"

He was sure loud when it came to girls.

"Listen."

I coiled my arm on his shoulders and spoke.

"Aurora is a 'hard to get girl' because she is 'too' perfect."

Yeah.

Aurora was perfect because, first, she had to be since she was a princess. She had to be loved by her people. She was indeed doing her job well as she was the idol of the whole Kingdom. Everyone loved their princess, more than even Alfred. Well, he was an idiot prince to me anyway.

Secondly, because her 'idol', if I may say, was Louisa Trueheart. Another heroine in her third year. Aurora admired Louisa a lot because the latter, without exaggeration, was more perfect than Aurora when it comes to duty. The only difference was that Aurora was more accessible because of her kind personality than Louisa.

Can't blame Louisa though… Her life wasn't as good as it seemed from the outside. Remembering Louisa's route and the events following her route, I could only pity Jayden.

Hope he won't die.

"Her room is just next to yours, so use this opportunity to get close to her."

I waved my hand and entered the elevator.

Jayden had a confused expression after all my words but I knew that he would not be idle.

I smiled and pressed the button S-2 for my floor.

…

I stepped out of the elevator and reached the door of my room.

The corridor was covered in gold and blue color and there were only a few paintings.

I really like this combo.

My room now…

S-7.

I looked around me curiously and saw the rooms S-5 on my right, S-6 behind me and S-8 on my left.

Oh god please tell me not any of those 'pretenders' or annoying girls are in it.

I prayed and entered my room.

[<You jinxed it, it's too late.>]

'You are the one jinxing me!'

Closing the door of my new room, I walked around.

A living room, a kitchen, a bathroom, a dressing room, a training room, and a large room with a bed.

No doubts about it. We were in a VIP room.

From what I saw of Jayden's room in the game, it wasn't anything big like that. I would say at best it was half the size of my room.

Some of my belongings were already there, like my clothes, which are useless now, since I am fit now. I should really buy new clothes…

I had only the clothes I bought in RealStore and my uniform, which had auto-restoration and auto-sizable functions. I mean, thank god they had these functions since it cost a million dollars…

"Hm?"

There was a little box on a small table which didn't belong to me.

I took a knife from the kitchen and neatly cut the tape.

Opening it, I saw a rectangular glass.

It was not different from a phone on Earth but with more functions.

I had one in my mansion but I left everything there.

The one in the box was a new model.

A small message was written on the box.

[A little gift for your awakening.

Belle.]

I smiled and activated the phone.

It took me ten minutes to fill in all my details and add my Eden card on it. With that, I could buy directly with my phone. It was convenient since I didn't want anyone to know that I had gone to the Enigma Dungeon.

Once checking the living room and other places for any strange devices, I headed to my room and did the same thing.

"Nothing."

I sighed and sat on the ground, cross-legged.

Time to raise my proficiency in Vysindra's rings.

Oh yes.

"Mary come out."

A mirror appeared and Mary came out of it.

"There is a TV in the living room, you can watch it."

I said to her.

There were two reasons why I asked her to appear..

First, to refine my anima's core to get a better control over Mary's ability and better durability when I am using it since it was consuming a lot of my mana but also taking a toll on my body.

Second, because I wanted her to do all she wished to do back then when she was in Sekrin town. She wasn't just a pawn for me, I couldn't treat her like that. I saw some of her memories, felt her emotions and I was with her in that nightmare for more than a week, so I formed like a bond with her. That's why I wanted her to enjoy her new life. It was the least I could do for her, after borrowing her ability like that.

"..."

Mary must have understood what I felt, since her lips were quivering. She must have been touched by my thoughts.

I scratched my cheeks.

I feel awkward now.

I just wanted her to understand me, so I willingly let my emotions slip away.

I stood up, pressed my hands on Mary's shoulders to turn her around. Without pulling away my hands, I pushed her out of my room, until I reached the sofa in the living room. I made her sit down and turned on the TV.

"You switch the channels with that button, okay? Turn up the volume with this one, but not too loud since I will work in the room. Then"

I showed her the remote and explained to her all the buttons since she didn't have TV on her home in Sekrin town. She must feel out of the place and I, of course, didn't want her to feel like that. She was going to 'live' with me from now on after all.

Mary was, at first, shivering, probably overwhelmed by emotions, but after a minute she nodded to me when I explained to her how the TV works.

"That's all."

I gave her the remote.

"Call me only if it's important. Oh, and there might be-"

I looked in the kitchen cabinets and yeah, there were some snacks.

I opened the packet of crisps and filled a glass with a orange jus and put them on the small table in front of the sofa.

"There. Eat as much as you want. If you want more, feel free to serve yourself in the kitchen."

Before Mary could answer me, I went into my room and locked the door.

[<You sure spoil her.>]

"Yeah . Because I can feel her emotions and she clearly cares for me, which isn't the case of you, Jarvis and everyone else except Belle."

[I am here to help you.]

[<Yeah! I don't care about you!>]

Oh please, not a tsundere Goddess please.

"Anyway. I will train with the Anathemas Fire. If there is a problem, wake me up."

I sat cross-legged and summoned the ring.

The purplish ring of fire coiled like a bracelet around my right wrist.

I exhaled deeply and tried to control the fire.

I had Mary's ability for my defense but it's important to be able to strike back.
