Erotic RPG: I am in the Game world, But My Heroines are Villainesses
Chapter 309 Crushing Dogs 5
Just as Declan's arms were about to reach Callius' heart, suddenly, a gust of wind blew inside the arena.
THUD THUD
Followed by the voice of two things hitting the ground.
"Hmm?"
Declan was surprised as he felt something was amiss. Then the reality soon came.
His hands that were supposed to be piercing Callius' heart were no longer connected to his arms.
SPURT
As the sound of liquid gushing out of a wound was heard, the pain connected to his nerves.
"AAAAAAAH!"
And then, a shout filled with anguish reached the audience.
At that moment, everyone was surprised to see the events unfolding. The barriers of the arena had yet to be lifted, but someone had just appeared inside.
There, standing in the center of the arena, was a woman with long blonde hair and glowing blue eyes - Seraphina Riftwind, the Vice-Headmaster of the Academy.
"Good grief… You sure are troublesome…."
Her presence was awe-inspiring as everyone held their breaths. For some reason, suddenly, the dean of the magic faculty appeared inside the arena when no one was expecting it.
"Have you had your fun?" As she spoke with a swift tone, she sighed, looking at the troublemaker that was the culprit of this façade with tired eyes.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"I had. Thank you for the opportunity, Vice-headmaster. I will make sure to listen to you next time." As Callius spoke with a serious expression on his face, the headmaster also regained her composure.
Even though she felt like she was being used like a tool, right now, more than her feelings were on the line.
"AAAAAAH! MY HANDS!" A shout welcomed her once again as the culprit of the shout was kneeling on the ground, trying to grab his hands.
But since he didn't have one, he couldn't grab either of them….
Seraphina looked at the pitiful guy below her with a serious and murderous expression. She wanted to kill him right here, right now, but she didn't. After all, this boy before she was going to be the card she could use to pressure Blackwood Family.
"You brought this upon yourself, Declan," Seraphina said, her voice tinged with no emotion.
As she spoke, Seraphina's spatial magic enveloped Declan, creating a glowing seal that held him in place. With his dark powers neutralized, he could no longer pose a threat to anyone.
At least, that was what she had in mind, but before she was about to use her powers to seal the boy before her, a voice came before her.
"Don't use your spatial magic to entrap him, Dean Seraphina."
It was Callius. He had already consumed a mana potion and a healing potion. Thus, his wounds were healing at a rapid pace.
"Why?" Seraphina asked.
SWIRL
First, he released fire from his hands and obscured the view of those present around him.
SWOOSH
Then, before she could hear his answer, suddenly, Callius disappeared from the place he was in as fire engulfed his feet.
THUD SPURT
Reappearing before Declan, he pushed his hands into Declan's chest, in a place just on the left side of where his heart was supposed to be.
Then he grabbed a heinous-looking centipede from there, and he trapped it into a specially made glass jar.
"Now you can do it." He answered with a smile as he showed the wriggling centipede, which was filled with dark mana. "He was about to self-destruct." Saying that he had signaled the Declan, who had already lost his consciousness from the pain.
The place where Callius put his hands in was filled with disgusting-looking dark veins as well as the dark mana, but now the dark mana was getting pumped outside.
"I see." Seraphina turned to Callius, her expression softening once more. "Thank you for your vigilance," she said. However, following her words, her expression got more serious. "Though you also seem to possess quite a knowledge about demons….Or is it your eyes?"
"Whatever you want it to be."
"We shall speak about this matter and your actions later. Now, I have a crowd to manage." With that, Seraphina waved her hands, making a vortex appear and disposing of the fire surrounding them.
With a commanding presence, Seraphina addressed the stunned audience. "Citizens of the academy, there is no need for panic. The situation has been handled, and there is no longer any danger."
The crowd looked on, still in shock from the intense battle they had witnessed. But Seraphina's words brought a sense of relief and reassurance.
"We will thoroughly investigate this incident and take the necessary actions," she continued. "However, the duels will continue as scheduled. Let this be a reminder that the path of a mage is not to be taken lightly. We must use our powers responsibly and with wisdom."
The crowd nodded, taking in her words, and some even applauded in agreement. They trusted their Vice-Headmaster to handle any situation that arose within the academy.
She was not just a powerful mage but a leader who inspired respect and confidence in those around her.
As the audience began to disperse, Seraphina approached Callius with a stern expression. "I won't ask you how you knew about him related to demons. There are too many eyes out there right now. However, know that this matter will not end here." Seraphina looked at him with wary eyes. She didn't look like she trusted him fully.
Callius nodded, his serious expression matching hers. "Of course, Vice-Headmaster. I understand the responsibility that comes with my actions." After all, the woman before her could kill him with a wave of her hand, and it also made sense that she wouldn't trust him.
After all, he had contacted her only yesterday and informed her about the possibility of Declan becoming a demon, and it even took quite a good amount of small pieces of evidence to even made her look favorably at this accusation.
It was also quite normal for her not to look favorably at this accusation as the information about a fourth-rank student as well as an heir belonging to a renowned family is something that could break the grounds….
Seraphina gave him a nod of approval before turning to leave. "I will leave you to your recovery then."
With those parting words, Seraphina disappeared using her spatial magic, leaving Callius to reflect on the events of the day.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm'Sigh….Dealing with this woman is for sure hard…But, it went pretty well….'
Though, rather than reflecting, he had an amicable smile on his face as he knew everything went according to his plan.
'My both strength stat and endurance stat increased by 0.1. As expected, fighting while pushing my limits is for sure the best.'
After all, the clash that happened right here increased his stats enough for him to be satisfied.
'And, those bastards will need to lay low for a while.'
But the most important thing he gained from here was the existence of the proof that could be used against the Blackwood family.
At the end of the day, they were the ones that were planning something, and now that their idiot son gathered all of the attention on them, they could no longer behave as they pleased. They either needed to lay low, or they were going to take the risk.
But, if they were going to take the risk, he was going to make sure that they were willing to pay the necessary price for that.
With that thought, he left the arena and made his way toward his room, feeling relaxed. But someone was tailing him from his back, and he knew who that someone was.
'Sigh… I guess I need to change my face soon.'
He could only sigh to himself as the little pointy-eared princess behind him was trailing her using her newly acquired moon magic in the daylight….
--------------------A/N--------------------
Now, with this chapter, we are very close to reaching the end of this mid-term sub-arc. This arc contained quite a lot of interactions with both 'Heroines' and 'Villainesses' as well as building some relationships. However, I also needed to show where Callius stood when it came to his magical strength, so I used three fights to compare him to a heroine, villainess, and villain in this order.
And to be honest, it was hard to write.
Anyway, now the next chapter will also be a light one filled mostly with interactions, and then it is about time for another action to become….
Hope you liked the recent chapters. I am trying to keep them as long as I can.
