Chapter 2: Entering the Academy

The chirping of the birds signaled the daybreak.

I guess its time to lay her down, isnt it?

I carefully lifted Kania, who was dozing on the bed, and placed her gently on the floor where she fainted. After this, I sat down on the bed that she was originally sleeping on and shouted at her.

Hey!! How long are you going to just lie there!?

Huh!

She, who was lying on the floor, stood up in shock and looked at me with clenched teeth as she confirmed the fact that she collapsed on the floor.

Why are you staring at me like that? Do you have any complaints?

No.

Then go prepare breakfast.

Yes.

Oh, and if youre going to bring a terrible meal like yesterdayjust take your sister and leave.

..

What? You dont want to take your sister with you? Will you leave her with our family? Ill make her my mistress if thats the case.

When I mentioned her sister, Kania couldnt control her expression and burst into tears.Finndd the newst ovels on n//velbin(.)com

To her, her younger sister was both her most precious existence and her biggest weakness.

Thenplease get readyIll be right back

Yes, work hard.

As she fled the room crying, the system window appeared in front of me without fail.

[Acquired False Evil Points: 1pt! (Insincere Remarks)]

Whats this message next to the point? Is it explaining the circumstances under which I committed the evil deed?

I glanced at the system window for a moment, then soon nodded and muttered.

Well, I never really meant those words from the bottom of my heart.

Kanias younger sister later proves to be a valuable key to her future cure, so how could I treat her like that?

Well, I still have to make Kania hate me by telling her I still covet her sister.

Breakfast.

When I got up from bed and settled down at the dining table, Kania brought coffee and sandwiches.

..

As I said nothing while looking down at the meal, Kania clenched her teeth. She must be thinking that Im about to ruin the meal again.

However, I just made sure that the False Evils Intuition wasnt triggered. Given that False Evils Intuition that warns me of a serious threat to my life once a day didnt activate, it seems my breakfast isnt poisoned.

Okay, Im tired of nitpicking now.

I started drinking coffee with an expression that said I had no choice because it was such a hassle.

Its so delicious.

Ive been thinking for a long time, but Kania is great at cooking. Right now, even this coffee alone is enough to overwhelm the royal baristas.

Why is this so bitter again?

I apologize.

Of course, I could never say that it was delicious, since I have to be a villain.

Anywaytheres nothing to like about this.

I will do my best to please you, master.

Then dont just stand there and hand me the invitation to the academy. I want to show you something.

Yes.

As I ordered in an apathetic voice, Kania pulled out an academy invitation from her arms.

[Sunrise Academy]

Frey Raon Starlight, the first son of the noble family of the Hero. We invite you to Sunrise Academy, the pride of the Empire and the foremost academy on the continent. Please come to our academy and become the starlight that shines upon us.

Sincerely,

Dean Lionel

Did you see? They want me to become their starlight.

I snorted as I quietly read the invitation, then crumpled it up and threw it at Kania.

Im in a different position than you, an orphan who could only enter the academy with my fathers letter of recommendation.

..

So, wont you take good care of me at the academy? Kania?

Yes, but Young Masteryou should know

The rule that all academy students are equal? Damn it, thats what the barons and margraves follow. Im one of the few dukes in the Empire thats also the direct descendant of the Heros family.

..

So, dont talk about such a silly thing. At the academy, if there are commoner bastards who complain about the rules, you will deal with them. Okay?

Yes.

Then its time to leave for the academy. Since the descendant of the revered heros family cant be late from the first day of the academy.

Having said that, I purposely got up from my seat with more than half of the coffee and sandwich left. In my mind, I really wanted to finish the meal as I couldnt eat well yesterday, but its only a way to make her hate me.

Master, the carriage is ready.

Hello~! Master Frey! We will bring you safely to your destination in the finest carriage weve prepared!

Yes.

As I left the dormitory, a magnificent golden carriage bearing the family crest was waiting for me.

Oh, youre more handsome than the rumors! Oh, my goshI fell in love at first sight!

Yes?

Yes! If you have timeuhmmmm

I looked at the carriage for a while and was about to go inside, when suddenly a lady out of nowhere emerged and hugged me.

Youre so obvious, you bitch.

I was infamous for being quite the lustful man. Thats right, at this point, my reputation is at its worst. Of course, since Im the first son of the Heros family in the Empire that even the Imperial Family cannot ignore, so contrary to my reputation, Im always revered by those around me..

Anyway, it seems like he deliberately picked a prime beauty to seduce me. Unfortunately, I dont have time to play with such a woman right now, as my life is on the line.

Puhaha! After all, you can clearly see the inside of such a vulgar being, isnt it?

I snickered and wrapped my arms around Kanias waist, and muttered coldly.

By the wayeven though youre of similar lowly status, I have a more useful one by my side.

Ah, yes

..!

Kania, who suddenly curled her waist, clenched her teeth and held back her killing intent.

And Im a little busy right now.

I seeexcuse me

As I spoke coldly, the womans face turned pale blue, and she scampered away from me.

Kania, lets get in the carriage together.

I can ride on horseback

Arent we traveling in the carriage together, Kania?

..Yes.

Meanwhile, I smiled and got on the carriage with Kania, and threw a word to the woman who was standing blankly behind me.

You, I will remember your face.

Yes, Yes! Thank you!

It was a known fact in the world that if the first son of the Starlight family remembered your face it was a sign that he will spend the night with you.

Perhaps thats why the woman gave a beaming smile, and Kania was struggling hard to hide her disgust.

[Acquired False Evil Points: 1pt! (Avoided Honey Trap)]

In fact, I remembered this from the blacklist memorized in my head.

Perhaps that woman is a hired courtesan from a brothel in the upper echelons of the underworld. I need to write a letter to my father later and tell him about the relationship between the upper echelons of the underworld and the rest of the world.

Young Master.

Yes?

Im worried that the Young Masters arm will go numb. So, why dont you take your arm off my waist?

As I got into the carriage and sat next to Kania instead of sitting across from her, keeping my arms wrapped around her, she spoke in a trembling voice.

I dont want to?

Please.

Um, come to think of it, its kind of awkward to keep it wrapped around your waist. Then this is okay, right?

Ignoring her reaction, I placed my hand on her thigh this time.

Y-Young Masterpleasedont do this

Then Kania closed her eyes tightly and burst into tears.

Well, thats unfortunate.

I finally moved away from her and sat on the seat opposite to her. Looking out the window, I muttered to myself while carefully wiping the blood that had spurted out from between my lips.

AnywayI cant get used to this, no matter how many times I do it.

Unless Kania is asleep, I have no choice but to infuse my life force into her this way. Of course, infusing life force this way is several times more physically demanding than when she is asleep, not to mention that Im even treated as a sexual harasser.

Well, if I can prolong Kanias life, Im fully willing to be treated as a sexual harasser.

Im going to take a nap, so keep quiet. Kania.

Yes.

..

So I tried to close my eyes for a moment in the carriage before entering the academy, but soon I remembered that the woman in front of me was hell bent on killing me.

Fuck.

I eventually gave up on sleeping, closed my eyes and looked at the False Evil points I had once again earned through self-sacrifice.

[Accumulated False Evil Points: 100 pts]

Oh, thats quite a lot?

It hasnt even been a day since my regression, but Ive already accumulated 100 points, probably because Ive been doing various evil deeds nonstop.

Store.

I opened the window, muttering store in a hushed voice, and rolled my eyes while keeping them closed.

Lets seestat distributionitem storeand even the skill store? Thats a lot.

As written in the prophecy, the store seems to consume the evil points and provide me with benefits.

I want to examine it in detail right now, but there is Kania lurking out in front of me. Ill have to find out more later once I return to my dormitory.

UmmmmmmmmmmKaniahold onhehe

..!

After I finally made my decision, I pretended to sleep while calling out Kanias name the whole way to the academy.

Thanks to this, the bloodlust I could feel has increased, but as a result, the accumulated False Evil points have also grown.

I guess Ill have to use this often.

.

.

.

.

.

Young Master, please wake up.

Kaniahehethat posture is nicekeep it up

Young Master, please

Huh, what is it? Whats the matter?

I was pretending to sleep for a while, then suddenly Kania started shaking me to wake me up.

As I roughly rubbed my eyes and woke up, Kania sighed and said.

Weve arrived at the academy. Well have to get off soon.

Already? These days, carriages are really fast.

As I stretched out and looked out the window, Sunrise Academy appeared in front of me.

Its so heartwarming to see the academy standing on the ground again. Originally, that academy collapsed under the attack of the Demon King.

Frey Raon Starlight, the first son of the Starlight Duke, the family of the Hero, is here!

Did you see Kania? I havent even entered the academy yet, but they still recognized me?

I think they saw the familys crest on the carriage.

Youre so tactless, sometimes you just have to agree.

I apologize.

I, who was deliberately being mean to Kania, muttered to myself as I looked at the accumulated False Evil points.

The rules of equality will be ensured, yet such nonsense is still leftequality is just a pretense.

There is a rule that states, Everyone is equal in the academy, so why hasnt the tradition of announcing the arrival of a son from an influential family on the day of the entrance ceremony yet to disappear? This is a place to gain knowledge, not a banquet hall.

The Empire is gradually rotting because of such evil practices and corruption. Although I was the one to destroy the Empire in the previous timeline, it is quite clear that the Empires fall was imminent, even without the involvement of the Demon King or myself.

So, I have to defeat the Demon King, make sure the heroines survive, and clean up the imperial blemishes to some extent. After defeating the Demon King, Ill probably be no longer in this world.

Well, its not impossible if I use the knowledge gained from both the prophecy and the previous timeline, but the heroines are still the problem.

False Evils Intuition [A powerful killing intent is felt nearby!]

Hehe, speak of the devil.

I took a deep breath as I recited the famous saying my ancestor loved to use in the prophetic book.

Its not just any Killing Intent either, but a Killing Intent that I could feel.

Apparently, the Main Heroines are all furious.
