Reincarnated As The Villainess's Son Chapter 72: [Christina] [1]

"Huff...Huff..."

The sound of my heavy breathing resonated throughout the training ground as I stood in the middle, a bright red Katana gripped tightly around my waist.

Every single muscle in my body felt stiff, and an agonizing pain speared through .

"....Have you rested enough?" Lauryn's voice cut through the air.

I looked up to see her standing a distance away, her hair tied back in a ponytail.

She wore a black t-shirt and matching leggings, her arms crossed.

"Argh...Yeah,"

I replied after a brief pause, strengthening my back.

I shifted my grip on the Katana, bringing my right hand underneath the hilt, while my left thumb rested on the Katana's ring.

Nodding, Lauryn flexed her muscles, preparing for our next round.

I tensed my muscles, my right hand glowing with a hue of silver, and then, in an instant, Lauryn disappeared from my sight.

The air around quivered slightly, signaling her incoming attack aid at my solar plexus.

Swish!!

CLANG!!

Reacting swiftly, I drew my Katana from its sheath, aiming to sever her hand from her wrist.

But all I heard was the sound of tal clashing with each other, drawing my attention.

I looked at Lauryn's hand, which was covered in a thin layer of mana, protecting it from the sharp edge of my Katana.

"Fuck, mana shield!"

Cursing, I raised my left hand, but it was too late. She twisted her body and raised her leg, ready to kick my face.

Bang!!

"Urgh.."

Despite my attempt to shield myself with a hexagonal mana shield covering my left hand, it shattered imdiately, leaving my entire arm numb.

"....argh.."

My ability to process information halted as I flew onto my left side, a heavy force knocking off balance.

"Cough..."

I coughed, clutching my right rib, which ached with pain from Lauryn's kick as I sprawled on the ground in defeat.

"You survived one hour and fifteen minutes....That's a new record," Lauryn inford , nodding her head as she checked her watch.

".....My weakness?" I asked softly, glancing at her.

"...You take too much ti in using zato-ichi style even though it's based on speed, your way of using mana is a ss and...You shouted the na of your next move like an idiot,"

she pointed out, listing all my weaknesses. But...

"The last one felt personal," I rebuked, only making her glare at .

"... Don't do that unless it's so kind of incantation," she replied, shaking her head before walking away while grabbing a bottle of water.

Status screen....

I willed my status screen to co in front but...it didn't.

It had been more than a week since the end of the club house selection, and since then, my status screen was missing.

The only thing I got after arriving in this world was also gone...

What kind of fucking luck did I have?

[....It might co back soday.]

'I don't want that.'

[...Yeah, but look at the bright side, you are still alive even after getting cooked and frozen.]

'.....'

[....Ahem, anyway, are you feeling alright?]

Instead of replying, I lay on my back and extended my hand above my face.

"Neplh."

As soon as the words left my mouth, my entire hand turned cold, and my fingernails morphed into sharp claws of ice.

I looked at the beautiful, shining claws before curling my hand into a fist.

As I did, three sharp, long claws erged from between my knuckles.

"Sigh...."

I let out a heavy sigh,I stared blankly at the sky above.

I am cursed....

[Shut up! I've already said countless tis that it's not the curse you're thinking of.]

'How do you know!?'

[Just trust !]

'.....'

Whatever it is, it won't change the fact that I feel cursed by so entity I have no idea about.

'El..'

[Yeah?]

'What's with this Neplh and Muspelh?'

[...Honestly, I have no idea. In the first place, it's not sothing that any living being should have.]

'Sothing that sustains the world tree, that's all I know...'

[...And about that, just stay away from elves.]

'...I'm not going to be around those arrogant bastards, anyway.'

[No, you don't have any idea how bad of a situation you're in....they will skin you alive the mont they realize what you did.]

'...You're exaggerating it.'

[I am not! The world tree holds the entire world together... What you did is bound to affect the entire world soday.]

'...'

He might be right....

Well... For now, I'll just leave that to future .

'Anyway, El, I wanted to ask you sothing.'

[What?]

'....What are the chances that the one who noticed that day was the god 'Elohim?''

[....Why do you ask?]

He is my mother's archenemy....

The one who wants to destroy everything around her, including her descendants...

That includes as well...

[....We are fucked.]

We were from the start...

"Hey! Get up, what are you thinking?" I shifted to my side as I heard Lauryn shouting at .

"....I was thinking about asking you on a dat—."

Swish!!!

I tilted my head smoothly, dodging the bottle she threw at my face.

"Why are you always targeting my face?" I asked, glaring at her.

"I don't like it," she replied, shrugging her shoulders.

"Why? It's not that bad."

"Exactly."

"What?" Titling my head, I asked.

"Nothing, go away, the class is about to start."

"Yeah! Right."

I replied weakly as I stood up, heading towards my dorm room....

I need to take a shower.

....

....

....

"Hey Oliy."

After taking a long shower and changing into my academic uniform, I t with Oliver right in front of the dormitory.

He looked at for a while before opening his mouth, about to say sothing, but he just shook his head and started walking.

"What?" I asked, walking beside him.

"Nothing."

"Okay."

We both walked silently without saying much.

Since the day I got beaten up, Oliver has always been trying to stick around in case that happens again...

"....Did another rumor start about ?"

I mumbled as I looked around, only to find quite a few girls whispering sothing and giggling while stealing glances at .

"....Nothing like that," Oliver replied, shaking his head.

"That's weird." Rubbing my chin, I mumbled.

"...There is another fan club made by the girls."

"Huh? For whom?"

Ethan should get his fan club after three months from now, then who got one?

"...Just so idiotic bastard."

"What's with girls nowadays? They like anyone with a handso face." I replied, shrugging.

"....Yeah," he replied, a vein throbbing on his neck.

What happened to him?

—Ring!! Ring!!

As we headed to the classroom, Oliver's phone rang, which he picked up without looking.

"Hello, Daddy speaking." He answered, but his face soon turned pale.

"U-Uncle, I-I was just j-joking, I am an innocent c-child," he stuttered in reply while I was barely holding back my laughter.

"Yes, he is here, yeah," Oliver answered before handing his phone.

"What?"

"Just answer!"

"Hello." Taking his advice, I took the phone.

"What?"

-Clank!

I quickly cut the phone before looking at Oliver.

"Who was that?" I asked, passing his phone back.

"You don't recognize the voice?" He asked, walking inside the class.

"I don't... But he sounded drunk?"

"Yeah..."

Without saying anything else, he walked towards his seat, and I followed behind him.

"Good morning." As soon as I sat down, Ashlyn arrived close and greeted .

"Good morning." With a smile, I replied back.

"Help tie my hair." She requested, giving a band and facing her back against .

"Sigh..."

Sighing, I gathered her hair in a ponytail, making sure not to let any hair fall.

".....Where did you learn this?" She asked softly.

"From my siste—."

I halted my movents as sothing clicked in my mind...

That call....

"I need to go!" I exclaid as I hastily tied her hair.

But before I could, my eyes caught Oliver's reaction as he slowly stood up, looking at the door.

'No, not now.'

My heartbeat quickened at an abnormal rate, and the sounds around turned silent.

And in the silence, only the sound of soone's footsteps echoed.

I closed my eyes as my entire body trembled slightly, while numbness spread around , and I slowly turned back....

The sound of footsteps stopped right in front of as I slowly opened my eyes...

And....

seeing her face again, I realized...

all the pain I have gone through was worth it.

With her sapphire hair tied down, her deep blue eyes tinged with redness looked at with emotions...

Slowly, she raised her hand, and I closed my eyes again....

Slap!!!

And she gently slapped my cheek.

"....That's for ignoring all this ti," she mumbled, glaring at before grabbing my hand.

"Wait! Who are you!?" But before she could drag away, Ashlyn grabbed my other hand.

She glanced at Ashlyn's hand grabbing mine before she took a deep breath to calm down...

She looks like she was about to explode...

"My apologies, I should introduce myself." Loosening the grip on my hand, she replied before grabbing the hem of her skirt.

"My na is Christina Shea ndonca." She introduced with a slight bow, and I felt Ashlyn's grip on my hand loosen.

"Soon to be Christina Noah Aljanah...

And...

Azariah's wife."
