The designer story: I was reincarnated as a villain in a game Chapter 10: Exter Academy 4

Neron Statelas’s Point of View.

I froze in place under Professor Alisa’s gaze.

And how could I not?

I an... she was extrely beautiful, but that wasn’t the real reason for my nervousness.

Oh, maybe it was part of the reason.

But the bigger reason was that I knew about her sharp personality; she had even been given the nickna "The Deadly Beauty."

Behind that enchanting beauty, there was a ticking ti bomb waiting to explode.

Well... maybe I exaggerated a little.

No, a lot.

But she definitely looked like the type who could kill you with a single glance if sothing displeased her.

"You can stand beside your other classmates."

"..."

I blinked for a mont before saying hesitantly:

"Are you joking?"

She raised an eyebrow slightly. "And why would I do that in the first place? Hurry up, I don’t have all day."

...Huh? Is that all?

Won’t she kill ? Or at least punish for being late?

Could the reason be that I’m the son of the Statelas family?

Mmm... possible.

I let out a light sigh before heading to the back.

Once again. For the third ti today, I found myself standing at the rear.

Do I have so kind of fated connection with back-row spots or what?

I leaned my back against the wall and raised my head slightly.

Alisa was holding a small electronic tablet, while her cold gaze swept over us for a few monts before she spoke:

"Since everyone is here now... let’s begin."

She paused for a mont, then cast a quick glance toward before continuing calmly:

"From now on, you will be transported randomly to different areas throughout the simulation. You will form teams with the people who are transported to the sa location..."

She pressed the electronic tablet she was holding.

And in the next mont, several blue portals appeared behind her.

Everyone froze for a mont in shock, before Alisa’s voice brought them back to reality:

"Thanks to the great efforts the academy has made, we managed to make the simulation look extrely realistic. You will feel hunger, thirst, exhaustion. And even pain when you are injured. The academy spent a fortune on this project, and we would not have been able to achieve it without Professor Anderson Light. He is the main person responsible for developing this realistic environnt."

I felt nothing upon hearing the na Anderson Light.

Why would I feel anything?

I know him well.

In fact, every person in this room has heard his na.

Who doesn’t know Anderson Light in the first place?

One of the smartest humans on the face of the Earth.

And soone who will have a massive role in the story’s events in the future.

And soone... whom I may have to kill, if I decide to carry out the author’s request, even though, honestly, I do not want to do that.

I sighed inwardly.

I wanted to return to my family. To my old life.

But I know very well that that is close to impossible.

And yet... there is still a small part of clinging to hope.

Even if it is tiny.

I do not want to regret it later.

So I will think about it calmly. But for now...

I had to focus on becoming stronger.

And to do that, I had to interfere in the plot and take advantage of everything I know.

Even if that leads to changing the entire future...

I do not care.

I let out a light sigh, finally stopping myself from drowning in my thoughts as I listened to Alisa’s words.

"Since this is the first trial you will go through, we will leave you free to move however you want. But there will be a small mission... and that is surviving."

"There will be extra points granted to those who survive until the end. You may also fight each other without restrictions... everything is allowed. Even killing."

"But don’t worry too much. If one of you dies there, they will imdiately return here." She raised the tablet slightly as she added:

"And there is a side mission. The team that succeeds in completing it will receive the highest number of points... and that is finding the flag....That is all...Everyone, get ready."

Not even a second passed before she spoke again:

"Then, let us begin. Each of you will enter one at a ti."

She said that in an uninterested tone, while yawning lazily, before the students began moving forward one after another toward the blue portals.

I remained standing in my place for so ti.

I was not in a hurry to enter.

Anyway, there was sothing else occupying my attention.

Or rather... two people.

I fixed my gaze on Larshia.

She was standing calmly beside a young man who possessed dark black eyes, as dark as the night itself. And pure white hair that created a strange contrast with his sharp features.

And honestly...He was annoyingly handso.

He was even nearly as handso as Ethan. In fact, the academy uniform looked as though it had been made specifically for him, highlighting his appearance even more.

Ah... I know you very well.

Zahid Nitscheid.

The golden boy of the Rathion family, one of the Four Great Families.

One of the main characters, and the direct rival of the protagonist.

Born with a golden spoon in his mouth, spoiled, hates losing, and sowhat arrogant. Everyone carries the habit of calling him "Young Master."

But despite that...

He was frighteningly intelligent.

In fact, he could perhaps be compared to Larshia herself, who had lived for hundreds of years.

And honestly...

He was one of the characters I genuinely liked.

"What a wonderful feeling... and an annoying one at the sa ti."

To suddenly find yourself in the sa world you had been working on all this ti... and to stand before the characters you loved and knew...

It was an indescribable feeling. But when that turns into actual reality... it becos truly irritating.

"Ah, life and what events it hides."

"Fwoooof—"

I took a deep breath and quickly looked away from them.

I did not want to stare at Larshia for too long.

Because that...

Would make rember what had happened a little while ago in the room.

And rely recalling that mory was enough to send a cold shiver running down my spine.

"...Forget about it."

I lightly shook my head, trying to distract my thoughts.

"Distract yourself with sothing else. Yeah... let’s go."

I began walking quickly toward one of the portals, blending into the crowd of students.

They cast glances at from ti to ti.

Well... that was not strange.

I am the son of the Statelas family.

The direct heir... and the only one. I do not even have rivals for succession.

I truly do not think I will ever get used to this.

I stopped in front of one of the blue portals.

I took a slow breath, then stepped forward.

And entered.

Fwoool—
