The Deeds Of An Extremely Arrogant Villain Aristocrat

Chapter 34: Love and Anger

The headmaster of Aslan Academy of Magic, Roswald Merlin Goldberg, was quietly looking out the window. 

The view outside was still covered by the dark veil of night. However, many guards were busy running around.

Luke is a strong kid. Really, how pathetic.

Who was he addressing with those words? 

Himself, who couldnt protect the students, or

Knock, knock

A rough knocking sound echoed through the room. Without waiting for permission to enter, the door opened. It was one of the teachers at this school, Duke.

Old man, Im back. The only relief is that there are no casualties or even serious injuries that resulted from it, also Did you see it?

Humu, he didnt even change his expression Hoh-hoh, he looked really unhappy and directed those strong eyes at me. Hes a tough kid.

Oh it seems he managed to defeat all the attackers. Its pathetic to say, but maybe were the ones who were saved by him

.

Gong!

With a dull sound. Roswald slammed his fist against the wall.

What kind of teacher am I if I cant even protect one student?

He said, with a clear sense of anger and frustration in his voice. 

Duke watched him silently, seeing this side of Roswald, who was usually calm and hadnt shown himself in a while.

Theyve got a lot of guts  They who have caused such impudence in my school will surely regret it.

Are you really aware of whos behind it?

Of course. Ive already lived long enough to not notice it There must be a mole who guided the attackers in this incident.

Oh I dont even want to think about it. But there are too many things that cant be explained otherwise.

I really dont want to think about it either.

Theres a traitor among the people he believes in. Its not a rare occurrence, but its a very painful thing.

Well the academy itself might disappear anyway.

Thats right. The nobles who support us wont stay silent about this failure. I cant believe we have to think about things like this.

Exactly. This attack made it painfully clear how weak Myrstia is.

Yes.

Roswald touched his long beard and quietly turned to Duke.

His eyes held a firm will.

We will hold a meeting. Gather everyone, will you?

Sure.

And with those words, the two of them left the room.

After that.

Dormitory students who woke up from my mournful cry cursing my own fate gathered one after another. 

Even though I say dormitory students, this is only the first-year dormitory. 

And so, excluding Hugo who transferred, there were only eleven of us as of this moment, of course, Alice included.

But it was chaos from there.

Some screamed for the first time at the sight of a corpse, some cried, and others vomited again and again It was h**l.

Im tired.

Immediately, the guards were called and as the party involved, I had no choice but to undergo questioning and such. 

Therefore, I couldnt sleep much and it was already morning. I answered the questions as they came to me without much thought. 

But if I were to think about it carefully, they should have considered my physical and mental state first and let me rest. 

This country really is c**p.

Im sorry. This is the schools our responsibility. We were supposed to be in a position to protect you, but we never thought something like this could happen why no, Im just glad youre safe.

Freya-chan thats right. We unconsciously believed that peace would continue forever no matter how long peace lasts, nobody knows if tomorrow will be peaceful or not

The air was heavy and stressful.

Freya, who was the first to rush to my side, explained everything to me, but the attack did not happen yesterday but just a few hours ago. The teachers are still confused.

Also, I just learned that Freya, my homeroom teacher, is Amelia-sans little sister. I was surprised.

According to Freya, the school will most likely be closed indefinitely. Therefore, all current students will have to go home, but not immediately.

Therefore, it seems that the school has prepared a temporary residence for us until then. At the moment, we are moving there under the highest level of security with dozens of kingdom knights as escorts.

Well, its natural that the school will be closed indefinitely.

This attack was shocking in many ways. It seems that it is the first time since the founding of the Aslan Magic Academy that a student has been attacked.

And above all, there is the matter of the mysterious magic interference. For the Myrstia Kingdom, which is a magic supremacy country, it could threaten the peace that has been going on for decades.

There may have been minor skirmishes with other countries in the past, but there should never have been a national crisis. This attack probably awakened the forgotten sense of crisis.

Nothing that seemed like the cause of magic interference was found from the attackers corpse. Magic-restraining shackles were found, but these were commonly used in the kingdom to imprison wizards who had committed serious crimes.

The magic-restraining shackles would not be effective unless they were directly touching the body. So, was it still magic? Or no, there was no use in thinking about it now.

However, I felt a similarity to the dark attribute. Maybe there was a reason why they were targeting me for this particular point. In fact, if I hadnt been taught swordsmanship by Alfred, I wouldnt have had any means to defend myself. In that case, if things followed the original story, I would have been kidnapped.

I still had limited knowledge of the original story, but I could somewhat imagine how the story would unfold from this point on. 

I would be kidnapped and somehow be saved by Abel. 

Then, my pride would be hurt by the fact that I was saved by a weaker person, and the conflict between Abel and me would deepen.

Its troublesome that you cant even use magic.

Yeah thats right, Ane-san.

Huh, Ane-san? You usually call me Nee-chan

Ane-san , can you please be quiet?

I had never seen Amelia-san so downbeat before, and the same went for Freya. 

Hmm, so people of this country become so discouraged when they cant use magic. 

This was also a disadvantage of relying too much on magic.

By the way Alice was covered in blood at that time too, wasnt she?

.

And it was Abel who suddenly said such a thing.

What misunderstanding do you have? Dont speak so casually to someone of low status. Im not as kind as Luke.

Im sorry!

Hey! Whats with that tone? Your status doesnt matter in this academy!

Kikikiki, youre so noisy. Im tired. Could you please be quiet?

What did you say!?

Luke Im really glad youre safe. Is there anywhere that hurts? If there is, please tell me. Ill use healing magic right away

Ah Im just sleepy.

Contrary to Amelia and Freya, the people around me were still noisy. Perhaps because I was extremely sleepy, their voices echoed and gave me a headache.

Alright. Let me explain it to you so that there is no misunderstanding. When I heard Luke scream, I rushed to him faster than anyone else. He is my beloved fianc, after all. Its only natural, isnt it?

But when I saw the sea of blood spreading around me, I was stunned and then I stumbled.

So, you fell down?

Yes, I stumbled spectacularly. Thats why I was covered in blood. Did even your small brain understand that?

Uh, yeah thank you for telling me

I was surprised that this woman could say such nonsense with a straight face.

However, it would be problematic if it became known that I had brought Alice into the room. Lets just say that Alice stumbled spectacularly.

Luke!

Then I heard a voice from the sky.

The voice was very familiar to me, and it filled my heart with a sense of melancholy.

It was Yolande.

He landed next to me with a soft flutter.

Oh, Im so glad youre okay!

Yolande opened his arms and tried to hug me, so I gave him a smack. 

It was too gross. I hadnt done anything wrong. Justice was on my side.

Dont come any closer.

Whathah, hah Youre so mean, Luke. Im just worried about youhah, hah

Whywhy do you care, brother?

Looking at Yolande with his disgusting breathing and Alice, who seemed strangely regretful, I realized that this was just the kind of people these siblings were.

L-Luke. Violence is not the answer Yolande-sensei is just worried about you

hah-hah.

Abel, I knew well that you have a blind eye. You were really too soft-hearted.

Alice seems to be doing well, so Im relieved.

Alice glared at Yolande in silence.

Anyway

However, at that moment, Yolandes demeanor changed dramatically.

I cant believe the Kingdom Knights are so incompetent. Cant you even properly patrol?

Yolande said loudly, deliberately making sure that all the Kingdom Knights present could hear him.

No one protested. They just wore bitter expressions.

The knights abilities have been declining year by year. Well, I cant say its entirely your fault. Anyway, I think this country should be rebuilt from scratch seeing this incident.

Yolande seemed to be saying something dangerous, but I ignored it and kept walking. 

My head wasnt functioning well. I was sleepy and wanted to go to bed quickly. 

I had only one wish. Even if a bunch of ruffians attacked me, I could just beat them up.

But, please let me sleep at night.

A few days after the incident.

Luke

My father arrived in the capital. His appearance as he got off the carriage was weaker than I had ever seen before.

Father, Im sorry for worrying you

My words were interrupted midway. He hugged me tightly with great strength.

You are my treasure Im so glad that you are safe

Regarding Alices engagement, there were times when he had some misunderstandings, but the father in my memory was like a perfect embodiment of correctness.

He was always calm, full of dignity, and exuded an atmosphere of absolute strength.

Im sorry for worrying you.

I see.

Maybe this is what love is. Thats what I thought at that moment.

But then, I felt an aura of intense anger, almost like a killing intent, emanating from my father.

Well then, lets just crush this useless school as soon as possible.

Huh? What did he just say?
