A Destained Young Master Villain

Meanwhile, Zen, who was still sleeping soundly on the ship, suddenly woke up. Just like when your parents drive home and take that one last turn to arrive at your house. You subconsciously wake up and knew that you were home because that acted as your alarm clock.

But anyway, in this situation, Zen woke up because he noticed the ambient sounds change and the motions of the ship change.

Letting him know that they have arrived at his estate. He did not need anyone to wake him up. Even though he was asleep, his brain and consciousness were actively processing information.

Upon the ship's arrival, he proceeded towards the ship's exit door. The door opened automatically, and Zen's figure emerged in a manner that was truly unmatched in its appearance.

A substantial number of people that were present at the docking area diligently engaged in the routine maintenance of the ships.

When the ship landed and the door opened, Zen's presence shock the entirety of the onlookers, prompting all gazes to be fixed upon him. They expressed astonishment and bewilderment.

"Isn't that young master? Why did he just appear from the ship that just arrived.

"What is he doing here? And where did he go?"

"Can anyone tell me what is going on?"

They were all filled with questions.

Zen walked out, ignoring all the commotion. He exited the docking ship area and started heading towards his villa. On his way there, he accidentally met Marie.

She was about to head to his room and ask Fiona, who was currently staying there, if she had already informed Lady Elle and Lord Randell, about the current situation of Zen.

Marie abruptly halted in her tracks upon catching a glimpse of Zen within the corner of her eye. She advanced towards Zen and upon reaching him, she expressed, "I am pleased by your return, young master Zen."

Zen frowned slightly, thinking that Fiona had exposed him to their parents. He asks Marie, "What do you mean?"

He thought Fiona ratted him out, but he denied this thought. As his parents have not come looking for him. Because if they were looking for him, there would be thousands of ships and soldiers spread out by now looking for him. So he asked Marie to make sure.

Afterwards, Marie proceeded to express, "Young master, there is no need for you to feign ignorance. I am, in fact, an accomplished mage of the Magister rank, entrusted with the responsibility of safeguarding you by your esteemed mother."

"I did not sense your presence, therefore I inquired with your sister regarding your whereabouts. She told me everything. Rest assured, young lady Fiona and I have refrained from notifying your parents thus far."

"I was on the verge of approaching your sister regarding this matter, as per our agreement that if you did not return by today, it would be necessary to notify your parents, informing them of the circumstances."

"Ah, I see, Thank you for not informing them.! Zen said with a smile on his face, feeling satisfied with her response.

As for Marie being a magister, Zen was not shocked or confused at all, even though there was no screen time for Marie in the and she did not appear much in the plot and only appeared at the beginning of the story.

He always felt like this maid of his was a mystery, and after his guess was verified by Marie herself. He was not shocked at all because he already had a faint guess in his mind and heart.

Marie offered a concurring nod and politely expressed, "Rest assured, young master Zen, should you engage in any similar actions henceforth, I kindly request that you notify me in advance."

"I would consider it a great honor to offer my help in this matter. It is really bad for my heart if you just keep disappearing like that. I wouldn't know what to tell your mother if something were to happen to you."

After saying that, she went on her way and made her way towards the residence allocated for staff.

Zen looked at the sky as if the words he was looking for were there and thought, 'Wow, this cheap sister of mine is quite loyal. She could become an indispensable and important chess piece in my future plans to deal with the protagonist.'

Despite the fact that Zen was unable to finish the in his previous life. He knew that his sister was at least able to reach the Great Magister.

He also knew that there should be beings that were stronger than the Great Magister. Zen also knew that there should be many beings like them in the Raverdieu family, which were the progenitors.

Great Magister was just the strongest on the Pontiac planet. But of course, that excludes the progenitors. They were the most mysterious hidden beings. Their strengths were unknown to the people and the world.

Zen then arrived at his front door and opened it slowly. When he got inside, he saw a girl with messy golden hair wearing an all white dress sleeping soundly on his bed. Despite the fact that she had messy hair and a pale face, her sharp, beautiful facial features could not be hidden.

Ignoring the girl who was sleeping soundly, he went straight to the shower room. As he smelled his scent, he had an odor of blood in his body, which he got from fighting all the beasts from the Twilight Zone, and he was covered in dust.

Zen hates dirty things, as he was also a little clean freak back in his previous world. Even if there was only a little dust on him, he would feel disgusted.

While showering, he was lost in thought. [Hmm, I should be able to relax and laze around for now. I should enter the Pontiac Academy next year, though.]

[That is when the plot officially starts. It's a good thing I was able to get the physical enhancement too, so I don't have to work too hard with my physics.]

[But I still need to get my magic to an Intermediate level. Marie should be able to help me consolidate my strength and get it to Intermediate level; as she is a Magister, she should have a lot of knowledge about it.]

Zen also planned to start creating his own secret organization, recruiting those he knew would rise to power in the future. Of course, that would have to wait until he enters Pontiac Academy.

Edward was twelve years old, and his strength at the moment was still at the early stage of Intermediate magical swordmanship. It would probably take him a year to reach Peak Intermediate.

He won't be able to contend with Advanced levels yet, like Zen. But he could fight those at the peak of intermediate easily.

So right now, we can see how far ahead Zen is. Combined with the fact that he just stole the Katana from Edward. Which greatly reduces his chance of getting stronger.

Zen was extremely happy with all his gains so far. He was also satisfied with his innate talent, Skill Devourer, which will allow him to become stronger quickly without needing to work too hard.

The reason for that was that he had worked tirelessly in his previous life, so now that he had a second chance to live life, he wanted to work less and work smarter.
