Villain Is on Vacation

Chapter 12 Plans Set In Motion





As Rain pondered the intricate details of the Academy and the plot, he felt a twinge of irritation. "This is getting too complicated," he thought. "I need to stay focused on what's important." He took a deep breath and reminded himself of his ultimate goal.

Rain didn't want his thoughts to be clouded by all the intricate details.

"Let's calm down first," he told himself. He closed his eyes and took a few more deep breaths. Suddenly, his calm mind skill kicked in, clearing away any unnecessary thoughts in a short moment.

As he opened his eyes, Rain felt a renewed sense of clarity and purpose. "Now I can focus on what's important," he said to himself, ready to continue his investigation with a clear mind.

After calming himself, Rain made his way to the library.

He walked down the long hallway, feeling his heart rate slow and his breathing becomes more relaxed.

He knew his "Calm mind skill" was working.

Finally, he arrived at the entrance to the library and pushed the door open, stepping inside.

"Oh… Library sure is big here, huh," Rain exclaimed to himself.

As the son of the current head of the Holmes Family, Rain had access to certain perks.

The main building boasted a library, training ground, entertainment area, and other facilities.

Additionally, there was a large mansion on the grounds, though only the family head and his family lived there.

Rain was free to use these facilities as often as he wished.

In the past, Rain had spent most of his time in the training area and rarely ventured into the library.

This wasn't because he was unintelligent or solely focused on physical strength - he simply preferred to train and improve his rank.

Nevertheless, the library was impressive - it was the sole library of the Holmes Family and boasted more books than even the city library, where Rain often read in his previous life.

The library was quiet and still, its book-lined shelves stretching as far as the eye could see.

The musty scent of old paper filled the air, and the only sounds were the soft rustling of pages turning and the occasional whisper of someone searching for a particular volume.

Rain walked down one of the aisles, running his fingers along the spines of the books as he scanned the titles of the volumes.

He felt a sense of calm wash over him, surrounded by the peaceful atmosphere of the library.

Selecting a book from the shelf, he settled into one of the chairs and lost himself in the words on the page.

Despite the library's tranquil ambiance, a few curious glances were cast in Rain's direction as he entered.

But after a brief inspection, other people returned to their reading, undisturbed by his presence.

Rain sat quietly in the corner, poring over volumes on basic education studies.

Rain was re-reading books on subjects he had learned during his childhood.

He wanted to revisit and rephrase the knowledge he had acquired back then.

In this world, when a child turns 10 years old, they undergo a coming-of-age ceremony.

For many families, the ceremony signifies the start of rigorous education for their children.

High-class families recognize the importance of education and spare no expense in ensuring their children receive the best education possible.

They enroll their children in prestigious schools, known for their academic excellence, and hire private tutors to supplement their education at home.

The elite education provided to these children focuses not only on academic subjects but also on practical skills such as public speaking, leadership, and social etiquette.

However, sometimes the pressure placed on children by their parents and society can be overwhelming, and they may struggle to meet the expectations placed upon them.

Subjects such as Mathematics, Science, Language, Environment, History, and the Arts are considered essential for a well-rounded education, similar to Rain's previous life. This education continues for five years.

At the age of 15, most children awaken to their magical abilities.

This is a natural process that the government closely monitors to ensure that children are properly trained in the use of their powers.

Once awakened, the children are sent to high school to continue their studies, but the curriculum is different from ordinary schools.

While academic subjects like mathematics, science, and language remain important, the focus gradually shifts toward practical training.

Students learn how to wield weapons that suit their natural talents - some may excel with a sword, while others prefer a spear, axe, or bow.

The training is intense but highly rewarding, as students develop their bodies and magical abilities.

With Mana in their bodies, they can achieve feats that would be impossible for ordinary people, becoming stronger, faster, and more agile.

Within a span of 15 to 20 years, students in this world complete their education in all advanced subjects.

This is comparable to earning a college degree in Rain's previous world.

Thanks to the power of 'Mana', people can learn quickly, making this educational journey easier.

Upon seeing the numerous books around him, Rain decided to study all of the theoretical portions and compare them to what he had learned in the game.

He also planned to do physical training in his room, utilizing artifacts and potions to increase his training speed.

Rain estimated that he could potentially reach rank E- if he gave his all, though this rank wouldn't compare to his previous achievement, it was still a valuable accomplishment.

With little time to spare, Rain knew that getting involved in any plot would only bring more trouble than good.

And so, Rain began his studies and training regimen, hoping to make the most of his time in this world.

***

Rain spent most of his days studying in the library, pouring over books and manuals about swordsmanship and mana control.

He found that many of the subjects were familiar to him, as he had been a scholar in his previous life.

This made studying easier for him, along with the fact that he possessed a calm mind and an exceptional memory.

Despite the long hours he spent studying, Rain was also committed to physical training and mana control practice.

He would often work late into the night, practicing until his body ached and his eyes were heavy with fatigue.

When he became tired, he would take a break and meditate, using fatigue recovery potions to help him regain his strength.

Once his energy was restored, he would return to his training.

Rain also made use of artifacts and growth potions to enhance his progress, knowing that they were only effective in the lower ranks.

His dedication and hard work paid off, as he steadily increased his stats and grew stronger with each passing day.

Throughout all of this, Rain entrusted his assistant, Mark, with various tasks, confident in his abilities to carry them out successfully.

As Rain sat on his bed, exhausted from his latest training session, he couldn't help but grin mischievously. "I can't wait to see what Mark comes up with," he thought to himself.
