Villain Is on Vacation



After a brief conversation with Ben, Ken made his way out of the cafe, feeling somewhat puzzled by Ben's behavior.

"Why did he agree so easily? It's not like him," Ken mused. "But I suppose it's a good thing he agreed. Hopefully, the bullying will come to an end now."

However, Ken was also aware that his thinking was flawed. As Ben had warned him, this was just the beginning, and things were unlikely to end here.

Taking this into consideration, Ken had already begun devising a plan to tackle the issue of bullying more effectively

Ken made his way to Professor Kevin's office, and after a short walk, he arrived at his destination. Just as he was about to knock on the door, it opened, revealing Kevin sitting comfortably in his chair.

"I've been expecting you," Kevin said, motioning for Ken to take a seat opposite him.

"Did you get what you were looking for?" Kevin asked, but his calm demeanor betrayed any concern he might have had.

"Yes," Ken replied, not surprised by Kevin's attitude. He had grown accustomed to it over time.

"Ken approached Professor Kevin with a hint of nervousness in his voice and sat up on the chair. "Professor, did you manage to set up the appointment to talk with her?" he asked hesitantly. Even mentioning 'her' was taking toll on him. He wondered how he would be able to talk with her.

"It wasn't easy, but I got it done," Kevin replied, although there was no hint of complaint on his face.

"Thank you," Ken said gratefully.

"No need to thank me. Just do me a favor in the future," Kevin added.

As he heard Kevin's request, Ken couldn't help but feel a twinge of anxiety. It felt like he had made a deal with the devil. He was thinking that he might leave as early as possible.

Despite his reservations, Ken gathered his courage and asked, "When is the appointment?"

With his busy schedule as a student and his regular training, Ken wanted to make sure he could adjust his plans accordingly.

"It's right now. Let's go," Kevin replied, catching Ken off guard.

Ken stared at Kevin blankly.

Although he had requested to meet with her as soon as possible, he hadn't expected the meeting to be scheduled so soon.

Ken hesitated, "But isn't this too soon?"

"No, you have to do it eventually. Why not get it done today?" Kevin replied firmly.

Before Ken could respond, Kevin grabbed him by the arm and led him out of the office. "Don't waste time arguing. It's important," he added.

Ken didn't want to hear any more words of wisdom from Kevin. He remained silent as they made their way to a door with a nameplate that read "Headmaster's Office."

Ken's nerves began to kick in as he realized what was about to happen.

"Let's go in," Kevin said, moving to open the door. But Ken stopped him.

"Shouldn't we knock first?" he asked.

Kevin looked at him with a hint of sympathy. "You're so innocent," he murmured.

Ken knocked on the door, and a pleasant voice called out from inside. "Who is it?"

"It's me," Kevin replied casually, as if it was a regular occurrence.

"Ah, it's you. Then, come in," the voice replied.

Kevin gestured for Ken to enter the office, but he remained outside like a statue.

"Aren't you coming in, professor?" Ken asked.

Kevin shook his head, indicating that he would wait outside.

"Nope. I only show students the path to solutions. Not accompany them." Saying that Kevin left.

Ken was confused.

'Seriously? Can't he say in simple words that he doesn't want to?' He thought.

"Oh, boy. Hello there," Ken heard a charming voice say.

As he turned his head, he caught a glimpse of a shadowy figure behind a curtain. Even from the silhouette, it was clear that the person was a stunning beauty.

"Sorry, I was a bit distracted," Ken apologized, " Hello. My name is Ken Astaseul. I am a freshman and in S-class."

Ken introduced himself. Even though he was dazed by the beauty of the woman but he controlled himself.

"Hello... I am Veronica Blaze. The headmaster of this Academy." The woman behind the curtain introduced herself.

As Ken caught a glimpse of Veronica's silhouette, he could tell that she was a woman of great beauty. Her figure was slender and graceful, and her movements were elegant and refined. From the sound of her voice, he could tell that she had a gentle and soothing demeanor.

Despite the fact that he couldn't see her face clearly, he could sense that she had delicate features and a radiant smile.

Her long hair cascaded down her back in soft waves, and her clothing was tasteful and sophisticated.

Overall, Veronica exuded an aura of effortless beauty and grace, which left Ken feeling both awestruck and intimidated.

"So about my request.."

Just when Ken was trying to say something.

Veronica spoke,

"Oh, don't worry. That iceberg already told me about it. But you know, people will think I am giving special treatment to you."

Ken was silent. He couldn't say anything.

Just when he firmed himself to say something.

"It's okay, boy. I will try to fulfil your request. After all, Academy is also trying to reduce these bullying incidents.

However I have a question for you."

Just Ken thought everything worked, he was surprised by this.

"You are so young, but you are already a C ranker and you are just a commoner. How is that? Do you have something hidden?"

Slowly pressure was increasing around Ken's body. It was hard for him to stand.

"Are you some demon? or spy of another race?" Veronica asked in cold tone. There wasn't any hint of her previous gentle demeanor.

Ken was on his knees now. He felt he would be crushed so he started strengthening his body with mana.

"Oh, boy. What are you hiding?" Veronica tried to see through Ken's body.

Now It was hard to even breathe for Ken now.

"..i..m....ust...a....uman.." After gathering his all strength, Ken just managed to speak a sentence.

"Looks like I went overboard. But I accepted your request. Right? So don't hold grudges against me." Veronica said in gentle tome.

"Now I have checked your body, you are not a demon or something. Best of luck. Bye Bye."

After saying that she threw Ken outside of the office through the doors, as soon as Ken fell on the floor outside of office, the doors closed.

"Hehe. Iceberg you have an interesting gem in your class." Veronica chuckled.

While outside of the office...

Ken was laying down on the floor.

After some time, he took out some fatigue recovery potions from his space ring and drank.

His whole uniform was drenched.

He slowly stood up and steadily started walking towards his room.

'What was that? Is this how the headmaster treats students in the Academy?' He thought.

Before standing at Veronica, Ken felt a killing intent. Like if she had a slight doubt about him Ken might have died at that moment.

Even for Ken, that pressure was hard to bear. After all, Veronica is SS-RANKER.

After a long time, Ken finally reached his room. He just went in and soon he fells on the floor.

'Today was sure exhausting. But everything is okay now. With her help, we will be able to stop professors from interfering with Blood Supremacy club. James and other people has also started to talk with seniors. Soon, most of the bullying will cease.' There was satisfactory smile.

'Still, It's great I was able to come out alive.

After all, I have to do many things. For me, my family and my loved ones. I will protect them this time.' Ken was determined. 

However, soon he fainted from exhaustion.

__________________________________________

As Ken was gathering his thoughts, Rain was lying on the beach and staring at the stars.

Despite the beautiful sight, Rain wasn't in the mood to appreciate it. He was consumed by regret over how he had spoken to Ben.

He didn't like motivating someone.

Rain's mood was sour, but he tried to console himself by acknowledging that everything had gone according to plan. He was glad that he could now rely on Ben to provide him with the necessary information about the Academy.

After all, hacking someone's phone or constantly sneaking into the Academy forum didn't seem like a good idea.

He didn't know when he might be caught by someone.

Rain was determined to prevent Ben from joining any evil organizations, as he was concerned that even the smallest villain could become a powerful adversary in the future, causing trouble for them.

He believed that it would be a hassle if the plot didn't progress as he hoped, even though he didn't really care about it.

Nonetheless, he wanted answers from the System, and that was his main goal.

How this things were happening?

Why he gained memories previous life?

Why only him? 

Why he was nerfed? 

There was countless questions, however no answer. He needed authority to get answer. 

But he had to survive to the end of the plot to get max authority. While to survive he needed strength. That's why he was working hard.

Rain didn't think highly of Blood Supremacy club they had encountered earlier, comparing them to the arrogant young masters from cultivation s.

Initially, he had thought of intervening when he saw Ken confront them, but after talking with Ben, he didn't see the point.

He believed that if they got beaten up by Ken, it might knock some sense into them.

Although Rain wished that Ben would join Ken's group and turn away from his villainous ways, he knew that it was unlikely.

However, he hoped that Ben wouldn't cross any lines with Ken and stick to troubling him in minor ways, such as challenging him or grumbling at him.

Rain wasn't showing favoritism towards Ken because he was the protagonist; there were other reasons.

For one, Ken had a cheat; he was a regressor, which made him incredibly powerful. Rain had read about it in the 's backstory of Ken. 

'So it would be great if Ben monitor him and give me some information about him.'

Rain thought. 

Just like that Rain started his another struggle for vacation.
