Voyage Of The Villainess

'Oi. Why do you feel the need to inform me of this? In this case, you should notify the teachers or the student council. Ah, right. You're the president of the student council. That's why this school is so messed up.' Malaya sighed quietly to herself. She then gazed at them with her usual calm expression.

"That's horrible, your highness," Malaya replied. Then she cast a sidelong glance in the direction of Hyun Jae. Hyun Jae averted her sight from her. "The Saintess may feel frustrated of this. You should inform the teachers."

"Stop playing around! I know you're the one who did it!"

'Goodness. I understand. Yeah, yeah. My fault.' Malaya couldn't tell how many times she heard this speech since she was in her second year.

When Hyun Jae stumbled and Malaya was like a kilometer away, the prince blamed her. When several pupils didn't watch where they were going and spilled tea on Hyun Jae, the prince blamed her again. The most absurd part was that when Hyun Jae had a cold, Malaya was also blamed for it. There was a rumor that she cursed the Saintess or something. 'Good grief.' Malaya wasn't sure if the prince's behavior is related to the novel's plot or if he was simply plain dumb. Then, following his foolish words, what happened next was...

"It's not her fault, your highness! My books were merely destroyed as a result of my negligence." Hyun Jae said before hiding behind the prince. Malaya spotted Hyun Jae secretly giving her a thumbs up. 'Gosh, this girl. She's gotten really proficient at acting lately.' Malaya grinned to herself.

"No! It's because she was threatening you, I'm sure of this! You're so kind that she abuses you like this!" Prince Aadel's rage was already boiling over.

'Oh, he was furious now.' Malaya couldn't help but laugh at this silliness in her mind. But she must keep a composed manner.

"It's entirely your fault! I will not tolerate such behavior toward the saintess, even if you are my fiance. She surpasses you in terms of usability! Human garbage like you deserve to be punished!" The prince had a dark expression on his face.

"Hey," Malaya looked with a cold glint at his golden eyes.

"What?! Are you admitting your fault now?" The prince snarled.

"This might be the last time I'll be able to tell you this your highness but I'm greatly disappointed," Malaya said with a smile but her eyes are glaring at him. The prince was taken aback.

"Useful? All this time, is Hyun Jae just an item for you to use?" Sigh. "Don't call people like that your highness even if you're the prince." Now she had done it. Malaya needed to go now in situations like this. She was clutching a talisman from her sweater's pocket.

"You!?" Prince Aadel was flaring with anger. He grabbed Malaya's right arm before she could bring the talisman out. She felt a chilly sensation on it right away. Her arm was being encrusted with ice.

Prince Aadel was an ice and wind manipulator. Because he was a prodigy with an innate talent of five, his magic was already extremely powerful despite being on the fourth tier. In combat, he may be on par with a regular sixth-tier mage. He was, after all, the main male lead. 'So much plot armor for him, yay! But he seemed don't know what to say anymore that he is resorting to this. Truly such a disappointment.'

Before Malaya's hand totally froze, she jerked it away from the prince with full power, which caught the prince off guard. She took advantage of the opportunity and bit off her talisman.

Malaya smiled at the prince. She raised both her middle finger. "Not a so good morning to you prince." Before she vanished, she heard a number of gasps. The face of the prince turned dark then red with her actions. "Come back here!"

---⚓⚓⚓---

'Tss. Like I will do that. No matter how many times I saw that excuse waste of a prince with only his looks to brag, I felt my nerves were cut on the thin line.'

Malaya appeared in a secret cottage in their school's backyard, which was already like a little forest due to the dense trees that could be found there.

"Hahaha. I guess I'll be skipping classes once more. Just how much of a role model am I?" Malaya cackled at herself. "Ah. I will not be able to return to the dorm. If I return early, Rein and Dorris would most likely be worried sick about me." Malaya took another talisman with the word "fire" inscribed on it from her pocket.

She took a few logs and placed them on the ground. She ripped the talisman and tossed it upon the log. The log began to burn. She raised her right hand, which was still half-frozen, over the flaming wood.

"Every time I do this, it still feels odd defrosting your own arm." Malaya chuckled. "I'm so used to being alone at school that I've become accustomed to talking to myself in this manner. Pity me. What am I even talking about?"

After almost an hour her arm was finally defrosted. Malaya sat on the ground and buried her head on her knees. She stared at the burning log in front of her. "Only a month left huh. That is why I have answered him like that. But he's really just being a jerk. How could he say those words to Hyun Jae? He is really a fool." She picked the items in her pocket.

Ten talismans for escaping, ten for fire talisman. Then on the greyed stash of talismans, there was one white paper that stood out. She picked it up and return the talismans back to her pocket. She unfolded the paper and on the top, what was written was 'Preparation for Voyaging to-do list:'

She stared at her list. 'To become a Voyager one must need to be prepared for the journey. Especially that if you are going to travel the oceans one must be prepared for every possible case.'

Malaya didn't want to suffer the cases of starvation in the ocean. Many ancient voyagers in Earth's history suffered because of their inefficiency of supplies but one couldn't thank them enough for the resiliency they strived for. Because of them, so many doors were opened to the world. That was also what made their stories captivating. But since Malaya came from a modern world plus this world is full of magic. She would be able to prepare properly.

First for a Voyager they needed a ship. 'Well, it's already done. Nicholas will provide me that.'

Second, money. 'Well, since I don't know if the currency of this place will work for the past four years, I have been buying lots of pieces of jewelry.'

Where ever you are, you could always sell jewelry at any price. Then you could acquire money whatever the currency they were using. She had been saving up all her jewelry in her space ring. As if she could wish that one exists. Yeah. There were no space rings here. She had been hiding her pieces of jewelry in a secret hiding spot in her room back at their mansion at Marina City.

Space Magic would only be available to people who had that kind of magic. But that was one in a thousand people's chance. Space Magic was very rare. She had been finding people with Space Magic for an entire four years but it was all futile. Well, there was one but she refused to ask that someone.

She much preferred to kidnap that one person who had Space Magic. 'Kidding.' If he was not part of the harem, things will be much easier. 'Well, I could deal with him later.' Malaya looked at her list. "Hmm." But now the only thing she needed to focus more on for now was..." I need food."

"Malaya, I know I could find you here. Did you say, you needed food? Are you hungry already?" Malaya looked up to the one who entered the cottage. "That might be the case since you skip lunch."

"Oh, Hyun Jae, you're here. Is class already over?" Malaya flashed a smile as she hid her list immediately in her pocket.
