2nd Round Villain

158 – Veronica (was) – 3

“anyway… The bottom line is, you’re not going to listen to me, are you?”

said Veronica, filled with annoyance. At the warning, which didn’t sound coercive in the slightest, my eyebrows furrowed slightly.

“yes.”

“Then I have no choice but to bully you.”

“Either way.”

“… I thought you were going to use the saintess as a means and threaten her. Even if you tip a few words to the saintess, I will have to resign in shame.”

“yes? Are you Maria? Put, that’s the funniest thing I’ve heard this year.”

Maria asked me to retaliate with something like that, so she won’t do anything petty using the power of the Holy Church. It’s a naive point, but that’s why I like Maria.

it’s different from me the part I don’t have.

and… .

“Why do I go and tell Maria? Maria won’t get involved with something crude like you.”

“… coarseness?”

“It’s messy. He is incompetent, emotional, weak, not very smart, not particularly talented in magic or other fields, and considering that he is a powerhouse in the academy, he seems to have at least some level of leadership, but even that is not overwhelming. You are in the middle of the third grade.”

“you… You tend to talk too much. Are you saying I’m incompetent? Last year, I was ranked 3rd overall in the academy evaluation, right?”

wow, you are so awesome The applause was too precious, and they congratulated them by tapping their fingers together.

“Since mudfish only live in streams, I think Ji is the king. What should I do with him?”

“… !”

“Well, what can I do? Let him live alone in the creek. Then, when you cross the line and come ashore… I’ll heat up the chueotang.”

“It crosses the line a lot. It’s not just a cheap level.”

“Are you trying to harass me like that Charles or whatever? Are you going to blackmail the first graders and completely isolate them?”

“You think you can’t? I get upset when I think that Charlotte will be happy that the reading club continues, but you spoke too carelessly.”

As if it was not a lie that she was angry, Veronica’s face was flushed red. I guess my provocation was an annoyance.

But, so what?

“Do I have to match your planting? What did he do to me?”

Even so, I was about to get angry.

Why is this human being so naughty? Why can’t I tell where to wear it and where not to wear it?

I didn’t like it from the time I was told to give up the reading club. It is my holy ground. occupied by Maria.

Why are you telling me not to do that? Even if the Archangel or the Archangel had said such a thing, they would have ripped out their heads, but how could an insignificant and insignificant being do anything?

“Charloche is also Charlotte, but… I think I will hate you more now. Academy life, I’ll make it hell no matter what. I swear in the name of Trivia.”

“I will ruin your life. Does that sound bluffing? I understand. It is the same principle that human whispers do not reach insects. It’s an explanation tailored to your level, I hope you understand it well.”

“This one freshman… !”

I turned my steps. I don’t feel the need to talk anymore.

I brought ‘it’ in case there would be a situation like this, but I never thought the day would come when it would be used like this.

The sun is setting outside the window. It’s time to meet Maria of the night soon.

There were surveillance cameras in the hallways. When you come, you must have already taken a picture of me, right?

You’re in luck, Veronica. That science product extended your life.

“Senior Veronica. Before I go, let me give you one piece of advice.”

“Damn it.”

“Don’t do that, just listen. It’s a very important piece of advice that could possibly save a senior’s life.”

As I walked out the door, I left a message.

“Take good care of the windows.”

*****

At night, the lights in the academy are turned off. Students fall into a deep sleep.

But I’m different. I have a very important mission.

virgin mary. A honey-like time with her at the library.

Even if I just watch her, it is the most enjoyable time in the world for me. The name Maria has weight in my life.

“So, you finally joined the reading club today. with me as a child… .”

“Yeah, that’s right. We also read a book together there, but that book was a bit unusual.”

“What book is it? If it’s a book in the library, I won’t be unaware of it.”

“The History and Paradoxes of the Holy Order. Do you remember what?”

Maria closed her fluffy eyebrows for a moment. I was delighted to see it.

“The book… I remember. It was written by the time traveler Evans. Although it contained a little unusual content… .”

“There, suddenly, magic came out. twice as well. He said he was aiming for me.”

“Did you get hit?”

“Uh, that Evans. I didn’t even think about it, but it’s f*cking strong.”

“To the extent that Joker-sama could be defeated, it is an extraordinary magic.”

Even though I had a bad feeling in the evening, I feel calm when I lean my head on Maria’s shoulder and talk like this. Strength is released naturally and tension is relieved.

Jump-.

So, I have to move.

Because I don’t want to see some mudfish ruin my peace.

“Joker?”

“Maria, I need to go to the bathroom.”

“You mean the bathroom?”

“Uh, bathroom. No matter how demonic they are, there are activities like that. Not as often as humans.”

The moment I opened the library door and was about to leave, Maria spoke quietly.

“You seem to have troubles in your heart.”

“… .”

“The past with Joker has reached 500 years. How can you not know? Joker, anxieties are something you have to shake off or accept. You must not be swept away by the anguish.”

“… Maria, I really just want to go to the bathroom.”

“… If you would like to make that choice.”

step out the door Maria’s deep gaze is heavily piercing me.

I figured this out right away. After all, it is Maria of the night. ‘Cause I can’t lie

“You can make mistakes, you can wander. The road to enlightenment is long and arduous. It’s okay to make mistakes, and it’s okay to wander. Please come back to me instead.”

“To make noise about floating clouds. I’m really just going to the bathroom.”

Of course it’s a lie. As soon as I came out into the hallway, I opened the window mentally so that I wouldn’t be caught by the surveillance camera, and I jumped out.

At the same time, he took out a sack from his bosom. The sack of Arachne that I had packed when I first came here. Along with Arachne’s gloves, my favorite tool from 500 years ago.

He pulled out a gun from within.

Eerie-.

the gun is cold Of course. Weapons that end life must not be hot.

A gun is the most emotionless weapon. Neither swords, spears, nor bows are as cold-hearted as guns.

That’s why I like guns.

Even though the gun in my hand right now is just an air gun.

Tak Tak Tak -.

Before coming to Eden Academy, when Aru and I crossed from Masurim to the Empire.

I went to the arms dealer and bought two guns.

One is a shotgun, shotgun. Another air gun.

Others are puzzled when they see me using a gun. Of course, a gun is not a weak weapon, but the absolute strong can use much more power than a gun, so why? saying.

My answer is always the same. it’s fun

Weapons such as knives, spears, and the like have been used too often. These are things that have existed since time immemorial.

But guns are different. This is a human product. A weapon that only appeared in the last 200 years.

That’s why I like guns and use them often. Apart from the advantage of simply being ‘simple’, it sounds interesting.

Tak Tak Tak -.

Climb the outer wall of the dormitory with an air gun in one hand. An unknown joy wells up in my heart.

There were several windows on the outer wall. Find the room you saw earlier. Room 307, in the middle of the dormitory.

There, as I stood with my legs crossed on the window railing, I saw a woman. What is it, you can use the dormitory alone from the 3rd year? Well, there was only one bed before.

By the way, he personally advised me to crack down on the windows, but he just kept them locked?

clap-.

I manipulated the inside of the window with telekinesis and opened the window. The hot air inside meets the cold air outside.

Without hesitation, I thrust the muzzle of my air gun through the open window.

A gray muzzle is pointed at a female student.

The student, Veronica, slept soundly without knowing anything, and soon frowned at the cold air leaking through the window.

“Um… what, what… .”

Closed eyes open slowly. Red eyes reach me.

A boy stands in Veronica’s eyes. The shape is not exact. A form in which things like earthworms gather. However, only the muzzle that the hag is holding is clear.

“… ! who, who… !”

Push-.

A bullet went off and pierced Veronica’s throat. Instead of screaming, moaning comes out.

Pushyuk, Pushyuk-.

I fired the air gun a couple more times. One heart, the other belly. The bulletless air gun is my favorite weapon.

Now, I am looking forward to how far human scientific power will grow, which has risen to the point of killing people with air as a medium.
