Reborn as the villain in the game

— Allen's perspective.

- After the match between me and Leon, I understood something, that I had underestimated him.

- Leon, from the very beginning. Despite my arrogant overconfidence and my rigorous training that I had dedicated myself to long before even setting foot here, I was utterly defeated by him. The sting of humiliation burned me deeply.

- In that crushing moment of my defeat, a profound ache resonated deep within me. It wasn't a physical wound, but something far more fundamental – a searing blow to my pride and my very being.

- Through gritted teeth, I vowed, "I will defeat him in the future, and I will make him pay dearly for humiliating me in front of everyone." My voice, though quiet, was thick with a newfound, burning resolve.

- To add salt to the injury, immediately after his triumphant win, Rose, of all people, went directly to his side, her concern etched clearly on her face as she checked on him.

- How could the narrative have twisted so dramatically for me? How could the established order be so thoroughly upended in my eyes?

- This perceived betrayal, this unforeseen shift, only solidified my determination: I will reclaim everything that is rightfully mine, no matter the cost.

- And thus, in that agonising moment of public defeat and perceived betrayal, began a deep-seated hatred from Allen— a hatred Leon had never wanted Allen to harbor. It was a hatred born of humiliation, injustice, and a fierce desire for retribution—a hatred that would now define Allen's path forward.

- End of Allen's perspective.

—————————————

- After the match ended, a heavy silence descended upon the arena, thick with the lingering tension of the recent conflict.

- We were given a day to process the events, the weight of the eliminations heavy on our minds.

- When we finally returned to our classroom the following day, the air still buzzed with the aftermath of the intense competition, though a sense of dread had begun to settle.

- It quickly became apparent that there were some significant changes to the class dynamics; the number of students seemed noticeably reduced.

- A direct consequence, we later learned, of the brutal elimination process inherent in the new system.

- Our teacher, Mr. Harrison, entered the classroom with a grave expression.

- He began to inform us of the official match results, detailing the victories and losses with an almost clinical detachment.

- But what truly captivated our attention, and what Leon already seemed unsettlingly aware of, was his subsequent announcement: the introduction of a new, highly stringent academic system.

- He had evidently gleaned information about this beforehand, in rhe game storyline.

- In this restructured educational environment, the evaluation of students was no longer solely based on their inherent strength in combat or their academic performance in traditional subjects.

- A new, pivotal metric had been introduced, one that would dramatically alter our academic trajectories: "student points."

- This system was designed to be comprehensive, integrating all aspects of a student's performance, from their practical abilities in the arena to their theoretical understanding in the classroom, and even their conduct within the school.

- Apparently, under this new regime, every student began with a baseline amount of points.

- To successfully graduate from the school, a student had to accumulate and maintain a certain, undisclosed number of these points.

- The implications were stark and immediate: if a student's total points fell below this predetermined threshold at any point, they would not only fail to pass their current grade but would also face the severe consequence of being expelled from the school entirely.

- Their educational journey abruptly terminated. It was a brutal, unforgiving system, designed to weed out all but the most capable and resilient.

- "Every student will receive points," Mr. Harrison stated, his voice resonating with an unyielding authority, "and the students with the best overall performance will gain some additional points."

- His words hung in the air, a clear challenge to every student present, signaling the dawn of a new, fiercely competitive era within the school.

- This system, he explained, was designed to foster excellence and push us to our absolute limits.

- " Everybody will receive an amount of 1000 points for now and additional 500 for the best performance students in the previous match." He stated and added " if you want to check it just look at the back of your hand and you will see it." Teacher.

- Everybody looked at it and shifted our attention to the teacher and he started to talk about the academy and the founders.

- In this academy was not only has a strict teaching but also doesn't check if the person is royalty or a noble or a commoner.

- As long as you pay the tuition fee and have a potential you will get a test and get accepted in enrolling in this academy.

- The future of these students, and perhaps the very fabric of this society, now rested precariously on the delicate balance of points, ambition, and the relentless pursuit of perfection.
