Absolute Villain Ark

somehow keep the hero away from this event.

While I was thinking about this, the greetings were finishing one after another.

“It’s your turn, Ark!”

Teach urged me.

Come to think of it, Absolute refused to introduce himself in the original story.
I would like to refuse too, but I won’t do that.
This is a break with the flow of the original story, a declaration of war as a villain.
Let’s do it!

“Absolute Ark.
Whoever stands in my way will be crushed without mercy.
Prepare yourself.”

The reaction of the class is mixed.
Gazes of hostility, disgust, and interest are mixed.
But I don’t care.
Having been born as Absolute and having traced the life he has led, I am already prepared.
Absolute is a proud man who has defended his country behind the shadows while the country and readers look at him with white eyes in the original story.
I really respect him, but in the end, he took all the blame and lost.

This is not just a fight for himself, this is a fight to restore Absolute’s pride.

“Haaah! I told you not to make too many enemies, but you didn’t listen.”

After that, Teach explained the school’s facilities and class schedule.

“Is there anything you don’t understand? If not, we’re going to have a mock battle tomorrow as a way for the class to interact.
We’re all curious to see what the guys in our class are capable of, aren’t we? Besides, we’ve been on the warpath before.
It’s a good opportunity for us to fight and understand each other.”

The mock battle is the first opportunity for the hero and Absolute to fight each other in a recreational event after the entrance ceremony.
This is a losing event for the hero, but I will use this defeat as a springboard to further develop my abilities.

“The pairings will be decided by us, and each student will compete in one match.
I’ll start with you, Ark and Alto, because I hear that both of you are quite strong, and since you’re fighting against the hero, don’t use magic or skills that could kill him.
I’m sure you’ll be fine, but don’t use any enhanced magic before the match, okay? So, that’s it for today.”

HR is over and the classmates are leaving.

“Absolute-sama, it was cool of you to introduce yourself just now, but we are worried about you.
I think it would be better not to make too many enemies in class.”

Cruel-san called out with concern.
Oriana and Mist, who came close by, looked as if they wanted to say the same thing.

“I see…but this was necessary.
I appreciate your concern, but this time I really wanted to say it for my own sake.
I may cause trouble for you all, but rest assured that I will protect you and I will show no mercy to my enemies.”

“Absolute-sama, we’re all on the same page.
But please don’t do anything that will draw hate to yourself in order to protect us.”

Hmm? There’s a discrepancy.

“It’s hard for me to see you getting hurt because of us.
I beg you to take a little more care of yourself.”

Oh, that’s how you interpreted it.
If anything, I’m a little sorry for the trouble I’m causing you guys.
I’m not going to tell you.

“Don’t get me wrong, that was something I said for my own good.
…… Well, okay, I’m going home.
The others are waiting for us.”

The Ark family is also supposed to take them home, so Absolute quickly leaves the classroom.

The three of them follow his back with their eyes.

“…… Oriana, Mist, we’ll protect Absolute-sama.
We won’t let him fight alone!”

Mist and Oriana nodded at Lady Cruel’s words.

“Come on, let’s go!”

They hurriedly chased after Absolute and returned home in a lively manner.
