In My Favorite Novel As The Final Villain

*Fall*.

Theos quickly landed on the battlefield after performing a great acrobatic jump, which, unfortunately, no one saw.

'Finally, it's time for battle,' he thought.

He had prepared intensively for this fight.

Well, he trained "intensively" after doing "intensive exercises" with Alice beforehand.

After that, he went to Luna's room to take care of her and prepare food for her, as well as spend some time with her before leaving.

Remembering everything he had done yesterday, he was quite shameless. But if there was one thing he couldn't be criticized for, it was being a gentleman.

At least with his beloved wives.....

"3"

Seeing the countdown, Theos got a little excited, even though he was feeling quite expectant for this battle he was going to fight.

"2!" the crowd cheered, chanting the last number at the top of their voices.

"1!!!"

With the loudest and biggest collective shout Theos has ever seen in his life, the two gates opened, the two main gates which the Gladiators, Camilla and Theos, must enter and exit respectively.

The loud voice of a narrator excited the crowd even more. "Hello, very good morning; today, we welcome the First Great Duel of the new school year, Theos Von Fallen vs Camila!"

Swallowing saliva, the announcer continued. "And, right now, let us appreciate the elegant and dignified entrance of our Queen, Camila!" after shouting at the top of his lungs from the door in front of Theos, a loud noise was heard.

Out of the door, came a beautiful woman with white hair so soft and silky it tempted everyone to stroke it, a pair of Emerald colored eyes this time, or as always, showing the rawest indifference.

However, those who have been with Camila the most and know her relatively well might have noticed in her nonchalant expression some nervousness and excitement.

The excitement of facing Theos, a genius among geniuses, a total monster, and nervousness about losing.

'Losing is not in my dictionary of words,' she reminded herself, motivating herself.

She was wearing a long all-white dress with gold lines; the skirt covered all her legs, and even her shoes or heels couldn't be seen.

She held two swords, in her right hand an all-white sword, looking like the sword of an angel himself.

In her left hand, she held a marvelous sword of a golden color, white and with black lines like an ink that wanted to consume the majesty of the rest of the blade.

"It's the Invincible! It's the Queen!"

"The Untouchable! I bet everything on her... Don't let me down!"

"Her beauty is simply exceptional, unique in the world!"

The spectators, i.e. students, were shouting Camila's name for a long time, cheering her on, fully expressing their admiration and respect for her.

After all, she is the favorite to take the victory in this duel.

'Wow, she sure did a good job of sprinkling our match all over the Academy,' Theos thought with a smile.

The coliseum had been filled to an absurd degree.

Theos and Camila's popularity had reached its highest peak...

*Boom*

Arriving just a few feet from the epicenter of the arena, Camila came to an abrupt halt, stomping her foot hard on the sand.

The coliseum trembled slightly, demonstrating her beastly physical power. A single stomp would cause a structure hundreds and hundreds, even thousands of meters around to tremble.

All the spectators fell silent. For a few brief moments, silence reigned throughout the Coliseum.

Until the narrator spoke again...

"The Queen has made her entrance to the battlefield!" the announcer shouted.

Everyone else shouted with excitement, making Theos remember those "Goal" shouts in the sport of Soccer.

'But... Wasn't that a bit embarrassing,' he thought, now looking at Camilla's stoic expression.

Yes, she may be stoic, but Theos, someone quite close to all human emotions, realized at once that underneath that expression she was hiding her embarrassment.

The announcer spoke again. "Well, very well, since we introduced The Invincible Camilla... Isn't it time to meet the Genius among Geniuses, labeled as The Prince of Chaos?"

"Yes!!!", many responded enthusiastically.

Even Theos didn't know why he had been given that nickname.

'I guess because of my Path that makes my whole body covered in darkness,' he made a guess, but without subtracting so sure.

"Good! Then let's welcome the Prince of Chaos, also dubbed by women as The Male Dio... Theos Von Fallen!" the announcer shouted at the top of his lungs.

Theos nearly fell over. 'What the fuck? What do you mean, Male God? Was it necessary to say that?' he asked himself.

Undoubtedly, an announcer with a lot of skill at making gladiators feel a lot of embarrassment.

Looking around, Theos could find no sign of anyone with a microphone, so he assumed the narrator must be somewhere, hiding.

'When I find him I'll teach him a lesson,' he promised himself.

"Where is he? I don't see him..."

"If it's true, it's taken him long enough."

"Are you scared?"

"Shut up, you bastard! Do you want to get us killed? I know very well that you like that girl, but all the women here only have eyes for him!"

Discussions, gossip, and speculation soon followed as he saw that no one was coming out of the door where Theos was supposed to leave.

Seeing that it was already their turn, Theos didn't make them wait any longer, after all, he made them wait a little longer because he was looking for the announcer.

Unfortunately, he didn't find him...

*He gasped.

Theos broke through the barrier, revealing his figure that was only a few meters away from the epicenter of the arena.

He had moved a little to coincide with Camila.

Everyone gasped in unison, except only Eleanor, who knew about this.

"How long has she been there?"

"Was that an invisibility barrier?"

"How much dominion can someone have over their Mana to do that!!!?"

Questions and affirmations soon followed, amazed at the fact that Theos could make an invisibility barrier and, according to his expression, without the merest effort, almost without fatigue.

"How long have you been there?", Camilla's soft, curious voice reached Theos' ears.

He smiled slightly. "Since before you were here, a few minutes ago, when I took the opportunity to walk around the battlefield."

Camila frowned suspiciously. "That means... What did you study the entire battlefield, did you set traps?"

At this interrogation, Theos felt quite offended. Was he not noble enough to make a duel without cheating?

He, likewise, frowned, but this time in annoyance, with a practically icy stare. "Who do you think I am? If you want, you can see the entire battlefield for yourself, check every last ounce of sand?"

Hearing Theos' cold voice and expression, she immediately regretted saying those words. "Uh... I'm sorry if I offended you, it's just that I took the combats too seriously."

Camilla's apology proved to affect Theos, his gaze becoming less icy. 'Anyway, let's get this started,' he said simply, taking two steps back.

'I'm pretty respectful of the rules in an official duel, but in a battle to the death nothing matters as long as you win and survive,' he thought, Death Shard in his hand.

It looked quite similar to how it was before, with the difference being the parts where you could see roots of a golden and white color trying to eat the darkness of the blade.

The two stared at each other, each determined to win.

"Did you hear that? The barrier he had put up... He had been activating it for more than a minute, it might even be several seconds."

"It's unbelievable... Terrifying..."

"He's a monster."

The spectators couldn't help but slightly overhear the conversation of the two gladiators.

However, what they paid more attention to was Theos' first words, more specifically, when he claimed to have been there for several minutes, even giving him time to take a walk.

The exclamations and theories soon followed, making them unable to hear Theos and Camila's other conversation.

Unfortunately for them...

Suddenly, a figure approached the two gladiators, drawing the attention of not only the two of them but the entire crowd in general.

"What's going to happen?" all the freshmen wondered the same thing, except for Theos, who already knew what was going to happen.

The other students also said nothing, nor did they react, being familiar with that figure.

"Are you ready?", after being close enough, the figure spoke.

A rather stout and burly man over two meters tall, being practically bald, something that suited him quite well because of his marked and manly face.

'Mr. Testosterone,' thought Theos with an amused smile.

He remembered that was his name, the most important referee and the best overall in the whole Academy.

Camila nodded at the referee's words; subsequently, Theos nodded as well.

The two had completely confirmed that they were fully prepared.
