Chapter 103 Cold

Name:Your Not So Ordinary Villain Author:
The headmaster was not surprised to see that the tower immediately sent someone to deal with the incident. He turned around only to be surprised at the person who appeared.

"I didn't expect to see you here personally, Archmage Ragus." The headmaster greeted then he gave the man a bow.

The mage hummed and nodded, "Yes, I myself am surprised too that I will be standing here to talk about something that is not related to magic."

The headmaster laughed and shook his head. He then gestured for them to take a seat. After they settled down, the headmaster called for his secretary and told her to prepare coffee for them.

"How has life been treating you, Headmaster Aurellius?" Argus asked as they waited for the coffee to be served.

"It has been good and peaceful, except for these past few weeks..." He trailed off and gave the mage a meaningful smile.

Argus could understand since that was also the reason why he came to the academy. "Yes and I apologize for that."

Aurellius shook his head, "You don't have to apologize. Besides, what happened was actually self-defense but because the other party was injured, the parents won't let this matter go."

"I understand. I will talk to them tomorrow then. For now, I think I should have a conversation with Ezio." He had no other choice but to talk to them, he might have to promise some things but it was better than to make the issue bigger.

"I'll inform them then," the headmaster nodded. Just in time, the secretary came and placed the cups of coffee on the table.

Argus picked up one of the cups and savored its aroma before he took a sip. "Hah, this is great. To be able to enjoy this cup of tea in peace."

"But with that child under your care, I doubt that you'll be having any peaceful days ahead of you." The headmaster couldn't help but comment.

Both of them laughed at those words for a few minutes before they calmed down. Argus knew that what the headmaster said was true, his life won't be easy. He already had a disobedient disciple and now he needed to look after another disobedient child.

A knock on the door halted his thoughts and came the voice of the secretary asking for permission to enter. The headmaster let them in and when the door opened, Ezio entered together with the secretary.

The room fell into silence. Aurellius stood up and patted the other's shoulder. "I'll leave the two of you since I also have a meeting."

Aurellius and his secretary left but before they could step out of the room, he gave them a last glance. They closed the door behind them and made sure that no one would come to disturb the two.

"I've heard what happened," Argus started because he knew that the child would never start the conversation.

"Are you here to take me back then?" He asked in a cold voice. He did not move from where he was as he remained standing.

"No but I am here to remind you that if you continue with this kind of behavior, they will take you back." Argus did not ask him to sit nor come closer so he could only speak to him from a distance.

"Behavior?" Ezio raised a brow at those words. There was nothing wrong with his behavior. "I only taught them a lesson and now my behavior is being questioned? Why don't you go and question their behavior? Nobles can act arrogant and that's okay but if I act arrogant that's not okay because I am a commoner. Isn't that kind of thinking twisted?"

Argus was surprised that the child suddenly answered him. This was the longest sentence he had ever said ever since he came to Lamier. Then the words from the young man sunk in.

"I am not questioning your behavior. I am merely reminding you to be careful." Argus shook his head, he can't argue with the child because a topic like that was bound to escalate in a not pleasing way.

"They should be thankful. I have been enduring their nonsense for the past few weeks but if it was the master, they won't survive." Ezio glared at the man before he looked away.

Argus frowned. He did not expect the child to have a master, if that was the case then why did his master leave him be.

"This master of yours, why isn't he here?" It did not escape the archmage's eyes when Ezio stiffened at the mention of his master.

"Don't ask and he is not my master, he is 'the master'." He stared at the archmage, displeased.

Argus was confused. He wanted to know more but judging by the other's reaction it was not wise to pursue the master. "Alright. I won't ask but I want you to at least behave yourself and I'll also talk to the parents of those students and give them a warning. Stay out of trouble if you can."

Ezio continued to frown but he did not speak. He felt uncomfortable because of the lecturing he got from the man so all he could do was frown and let him finish.

"Are we done here?" He asked after the man was done speaking. He wanted to leave already.

"Yes, as long as you remember what I said. If you don't want to return to the tower, be careful of your actions." He still reminded him before he let the young man go.

After he heard the closing of the door, Argus once again rubbed his head. He was now wondering why he even accepted the task.

After a while, he once again teleported and reappeared at his office in the tower. He opted to sit down on his comfy couch and have a quick rest. His head might explode if he continued work just after a major headache.

Ezio walked out of the headmaster's office to his next class. His mood was even more terrible than what it was earlier that day. But just like what the archmage said, he can't just lost his temper. He needed to endure until the day he could get out of that place.

He stopped on his tracks and when he thought about the master. He wondered if they even missed him or if they were going to rescue him. Ezio shook his head, based on the master's attitude he wouldn't go through so much hassle for him.

He can only rely on himself to get out of that place and now that he can use magic, he can do it. He just needed to practice even more so that he could escape from the people who were watching him.

There was once again silence when he entered the classroom but this time, he could feel fear from the air. What he did to those students must have spread throughout the academy already.

At that information, he grinned. This only means one thing, no one would bother him any longer. He also hoped that the woman who was the root of his problems wouldn't come near him again.

Vinya was panting after she reached the classroom as she looked around. Her eyes lit up when she finally found the person she was looking for. She took several deep breaths and composed herself before she walked towards Ezio.

She stood there for a full minute but the man did not notice her presence. She knocked on the table to get the other's attention.

Ezio snapped out of his thoughts and looked up only to see the woman he was trying to avoid. The frown on his face appeared again before he retracted his gaze and looked outside.

"Are you really going to treat me coldly?" Vinya noticed the changes in his expression which made her lose her smile.
