Her plans !

[Luna's POV:]

'Everything is going as I thought...'

Currently standing at a corner inside the school church, I gawked at the sight, which was so profoundly pleasant that I found myself falling into a stupor quite a few times.

Even though I was meant to pay attention to the people engaged in the baptizing bullshit they would be performing on my Austin, I was getting distracted because of the unfair Austin.

The way he shut their mouth by warning them coldly, I found such spectacle nothing less than majestic and handsome.

The way he dispelled the spell and arrogantly intimated them nearly made me lose my mind and damp my nether region.

He was utterly domineering.

'Am again getting carried away.'

Slapping my cheeks, I again pulled my guard as the priest finally got done with his fifth baptist on Austin and the fifth time showed the same results as before.

"How can this be possible!"

"You are saying that a Newbie class defeated a Terror Demon single-handedly...? Bullshit! I won't believe it even if I die".

"But what we have choices? He easily disintegrated Professor Nil's binding chains like he extinguished a match with a quick blow."

"Nothing seems to be comprehensible today! "

The murmurs were flaring about Austin just as I wished.  

It was undoubtedly quite notable how Austin dispelled such a spell with a flick and defeated such a high-ranking demon all by himself, but it would be surprising for those who don't know him.

Well, in Austin's case, there won't be anyone other than me who would know this side of his.

The fact that Austin's mana was so pure and overwhelming made things much more acceptable for me. Even though I was confident in my appraisal skill, the amount of mana Austin hid was way more than my expectancy.

And not only that, the points or something he gets from the system along with artifacts was still unused, which naturally could have provided a heavy load of power-up. 

But the pure Austin didn't use such rewards because he thought those things were earned by making someone cry or sad.

'Oh, my innocent child...'

I sighed with my head shaking left to right as I thought about what I had to correct in my precious Austin to make him an absolute villain.

Well, what I wanted to turn him over wasn't a villain, but instead how a man should think and behave in this cruel selfish world.

Austin named it Villain, and so did I.

"Now Court Magician Alex-san. As you promised upon your name, please bring me my honor."

Austin commanded the court magician, who was grinning all the way until the baptizing didn't end. 

The way he looked at my Austin was disgusting enough for me to let him get eaten by leeches as he saw his death with his own eyes.

But me, as well as Austin, was aware of how valuable that mage was for us. But that doesn't mean I would let him advance toward Austin more than necessary.

**Click** 

The magician, without saying a word, bowed and left the church silently. 

The old man headmaster was dead silent since the time Alex promised to bring Venessa to the church and look after baptism; his current self of his seemed justifiable.

It was decided from the time I told my plan to Austin that sooner or later, he would have to face Venessa's muscle-headed father to gain Nation-level popularity.

At first, Austin was reluctant, but my cozy persuasion made him surrender.

It was still unclear to me how [Charm] didn't work on him, but when I asked with puppy eyes, he accepted my proposal readily.

'Maybe it's because of his last life....no..'

The thought of Austin knowing my true powers felt unreal as even in the previous life, in the comic book he read about this world, there wasn't any mention of me using any other spell other than 'Holy Magic.'

I didn't know whether the real me and the comic me were the same, but I have resolved myself never to get entrapped in such depth of eternal hell by falling for such a scumbag human named Kyouki.

**Click** 

The door soon swung apart as two people entered the church, followed by Alex.

As simpelton as ever, the hero of humanity couldn't just leave his harem member to go on such a challenging mission like just saying a simple 'Sorry,' alone, can he?

Sighing, I rested myself on the nearby wall before directing my gaze upon the scene.

'Well, let's just enjoy the show for now.'

____________.._______________ 

[Austin's POV:]

'Luna was right...'

I nodded inwardly as I witnessed the things Luna told me would happen happening right in front of my eyes.

As she said, Hero Kyouki didn't let Venessa come alone. To be honest, I had a high doubt about whether anyone would accept my desire to bring Venessa here, taking his father's position into account.

But thanks to the brain-dead Alex that everything was happening better than my expectancy.

Well, to be honest, I was a little scared...behaving like this and showcasing my power without restraints, but somehow it wasn't an unpleasant feeling.

First time I wasn't getting thrown like trash or receiving curses without flaring back.

Even though I behaved like a barking dog in the past, it doesn't mean I didn't have any self-respect. I just suppressed it for my villain's point.

But the Villain's Point receiving continuously on my tab made it clear that my approach was wrong. I could have preserved my dignity if I had thought of this method before.

But what happened was also good as if I behaved like I am right now, then I might not have drawn close to Luna as I have grown in this one week.

'Urgh! I want to see her really bad...'

Fighting my urges, I came across the angry couple who had been glaring daggers from the time they entered.

The people in the surrounding mostly has covered their mouths as they saw Venessa walking toward the aisle where I was standing.

Well, it has to be expected as the wild Venessa cooperating so sincerely was an unreal spectacle in itself.

"You...what trickery you used this time...?!!

It wasn't Veness who shouted instead, her savior.

The hero lunged forward and grabbed my collar quite harshly with his flame-filled eyes just inches apart. 

The strength he was applying on my collar would have choked a Newbie ranked student until now, but unfortunately, I wasn't the person they had evaluated me until now.

From the perspective of raw strength, Kyouki was undeniably superior to me by many of the folds, but when it comes to mana supplement, I was sure he didn't stand a chance with his current strength.

'[Enhancement]'

I surrounded my arms with a thick layer of mana which amplified my strength quite a lot to the point where I was confident of destroying a 5-meter pillar with one punch.

Bringing both my hands on top of the hero's, I pulled them slowly apart.

'Hmm?!'

Even with my mana enhancement, it was incredibly tough for me to get off his hold while keeping a straight face, but in the end, I succeeded.

The wide-eyed hero who failed to maintain his hold on me looked so shocked that it felt like he had just lost arm wrestling to a toddler.

"Keep your hands in control, hero, before you lose them."

Saying so, I pushed Kyouki lightly by tapping on his chest. The shock of defeat didn't let him control his movement, and he ended up staggering by his own limbs and falling on his butt.

"Kyouki-kun!!"

"Hero-sama!"

The principal and beauty jumped to help Kyouki as the latter one finally got out of his stupor.

"You monster!"

Vanessa growled at me as she supported her beloved with murderous intent clouding her eyes.

But I didn't intend to see their lovey-dovey at the moment, so I called for the Court Magician.

"Sir Alex, isn't it time for you to fulfill your promise? I don't have all day to waste here. Someone is waiting for me too, after all."

The last part came out in the spur, but the heavy mana leak from the hero and the boost in my Villain's point proved my slip of the tongue as a good omen?

'Seriously, I feel like Ntr'ing the Hero.'

Shaking my head, I saw Alex walking forward with an amused look on his face just like I had before he whispered something in Venessa's ear.

I couldn't hear the content, but looking at the bitter expression on her face, it seemed he must have used some chivalry principles or her father's name to corner her.

"You don't have to, Venessa ... It's okay for me to have the blame".

The hero held the damsel in distress as she was about to walk forward. 

"No, Kyouki-kun. I always thought that I was nothing but a burden on you and everyone else. So just this once, when I have the chance, please let me have it."

The pure and consensual act of sympathizing with each other while receiving tears and praise from surrounding felt...awkward to me.

But well, that's my opinion.

For what I was waiting for was finally happening as Venessa gave a last squeeze to Kyouki's hand before walking toward me with heavy steps.

Her eyes were still rebellious, but I didn't have anything to do with it. I was doing all this for my own selfishness, just like in the past, but I only changed the course of my approach.

Finally arriving some meters from me, Venessa lowered her head before inhaling deeply as some words flew along with her exhale.

"I...I am sorry."

"Eh? Did you say something? Sorry, the wind was heavy. Please repeat."

Well, what I said was my honest thought, but it seemed to flare differently.

Vanessa looked at me in a way where if eyes could have killed, she would have burnt me thrice already. And not only her, but I also felt heavy mana from the bystanders.

'Ah, it's getting tiring...'

Finally, after some moments, it seemed Venessa let go of her pride, and with a deep bow, she finally uttered the words I had never thought of hearing in this life from her.

"For the blame I put upon you, I ask for your forgiveness."

My eyes went wide as her words traveled up to me.

No, it wasn't her apology that shocked me but rather the white and black screen, which I have grown accustomed to seeing but not something like this has ever happened before.

My mouth parted as I read the content, only to feel disbelief shrouding my consciousness.

A/N:- The chapter was a little fast-paced as I didn't want to drag this scene for long. I was first planning to merge the previous chapter with this one, but it would have become hella long.

Anyway, the arc of becoming overpowered and displaying the true might of a villain would be commencing, so look forward to it~
