A Destained Young Master Villain



'VIII 24th, 2400'

There are 7 days left before all the students travel to train in the Twilight Zone.

Class was currently taking place, but Noah was still nowhere to be seen.

In fact, Noah was nowhere to be seen, even in the entire Pontiac Academy. It seemed like he had just disappeared. Rumors say that he disappeared or quit the academy because he was embarrassed by his loss.

Losing after all the things you said? Who wouldn't be embarrassed to show themselves to people after losing so badly. After that crushing defeat, I bet even a chameleon would struggle to change color out of sheer shame.

Many people thought that Noah was just all talk and a clown.

He had been labeled a clown in the entire academy, that was his title, but no one really knew where he had disappeared to. They speculated that he might have already returned to his family.

The A class students were also questioning his disappearance, but they were glad that the troublemaker was gone.

Inside Class A Prof. Hawkin was giving an explanation about the history of Magic and Swords.

Goren was sitting in the corner of the class. Goren has neck length red spiky hair, and his eyes are blood red. There were two horns sticking out of his hair. He had a muscular physique, but not so overbearing that he looked bulky. To be precise, an athletic body would be more appropriate to describe him.

He kept glancing at Fiona from time to time, and looked like he really wanted to tell her something, but could not get the courage to speak to her. He was in deep thought, trying to find a way to talk to her alone.

Suddenly, Prof. Hawkin asked a question, breaking Goren out of his trance like state.

"Does anyone know when, and how Magic and Aura became a thing in society today?"

Celestia raised her hand, wanting to answer the question. "Celestia! go ahead and explain your understanding," Prof. Hawkin called out to her.

Celestia stood up and explained, "Well, for starters, scientists back then discovered that mana and aura existed in the universe while they were studying the human brain. It was just that we were unaware of it. When they found out about this matter, they also discovered that humans seem to be able to absorb this mana and aura. Some people could absorb mana, while others could absorb aura. There are also those special ones who can absorb both, like me, who can practice both Magic and Swordsmanship. This changed everyone's view of the universe. This revelation simply broke the universal laws of physics."

"Mmm, very good," Prof. Hawkin nodded, satisfied with her answer. "Well, anyone else want to share their knowledge?"

Gorin saw this as a chance to show off his knowledge to Fiona, so he raised his hand. "Ok! Gorin! Go ahead and share with us your thoughts," Prof. Hawkin said.

Goren also stood up, his chin elevated, and started to explain his thoughts, "Mana and Aura are actually related to the dark energy, which makes up sixty eight percent of the universe. Dark energy has always been a mystery to all living beings. The only thing we knew about it was how it affected the universe's expansion. Other than that, it is a complete mystery. After the discovery of Mana and Aura, some of the mysteries of dark energy have been solved. That was also when the whole world started changing. The amount of mana and aura in the world thickened, causing animals to mutate into beasts, and the beasts had formed mana stones in their bodies."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Fiona, who was watching him speak with a smile, feeling proud of what he said.

Fiona turned her gaze away from him and frowned. "Why the hell does this guy keep looking at me like that? I felt his gaze earlier too, and he kept on glancing at me," she said asking the two girls beside her.

Daphne laughed and said, "Maybe he likes you! You should go and respond to his feelings!" urging Fiona to go and accept Gorin's feelings towards her.

"Maybe he was going to confess to you the last time he came to us," Celestia also said.

"No way, right? You two jest," Fiona replied to them, chuckling a bit.

Gorin, who saw Fiona look away, couldn't help but widen the smile on his face. Goren did not see Fiona's frown, so he simply thought that Fiona was shy, as they were both in eye contact when he smiled at her. Goren muttered, "Maybe she also likes me back! That must be it, right?! Otherwise, why would she look away right away after we made eye contact and when I smiled at her. There was also at that time, she stood up for me, when Noah insulted me. I'll find a chance to ask her."

This Goren was simply too delusional! Fiona simply fought with Noah because of his words of insult toward Zen and the harsh words he said toward the demi-humans. She did not specifically fight with Noah just for him?!

If Fiona heard his words, she wouldn't help but feel disgusted towards him.

"All right, Goren, what are you doing just standing there? Sit back down now, and good job. Your explanation is satisfactory," Prof. Hawkin said.

Hawkin continued his words, saying, "Anyway, since Goren ended his sentence with the beasts, I am also reminding you all that your expedition to the Twilight Zone is coming in about a week. You all better start preparing for it."

Hawkin ended the class, but as he was about to walk out of the door, Fiona called out to him.

"Yes? What do you need from me, Fiona."

"May I request a day off from class tomorrow?"

"Can I ask why?"

"Well, I wanted to go to the gravitation training room and use it."

"Use it?" Hawkin was confused, as the academy year had just started. She should not yet have academy points to use in that area.

"Yes!" Fiona said.

Hawkin speculated that she might have gotten points from someone. He did not question how she got them and simply agreed to her request.
