Redemption Of The Yandere Villain

Eugene didn't bother to care about Kaizer's embarrassing action.

He just glance at his father and said: "I am called by the academic officer. If father has no business with me then I'll go first. Congratulate my little brother for me."

Marquis Shradinza was about to open his mouth but Eugene immediately walk away.

This made grand duke Karsten shrug and just smile at the Marquis, saying: "Then since my son is here, I'll go back too. Please be careful on your way Marquis, your precious younger son is probably looking for you, if you don't go now he'll be sad."

Marquis Shradinza's face turns pale.

Eugene goes back to Meza Eusto's building and enters the proceedings upon entering the council room. Eugene sat alone in the middle while some academic officers and investigators are sitting in line while holding some papers, talking about the snake lair and the unbelievable score of team 4 that broke the academy's history of warfare selection.

Some academic instructor attack Eugene, trying to get some information.

However, Eugene kept his mouth tightly and just answer the critical question.

This made some instructors who doubted his ability angry because they were expecting Eugene to admit that he can use magic because that's how the damage in the Sena Forest can be explained. They didn't expect the Marquis's second son to be tough so they couldn't find some loopholes. Besides they won't be able to condemn Eugene, they could only lock up Eugene until the second round to prevent the same accident from happening.

"You say you can't use magic but the damage was done by magic."

"Young master Eugene, if you admit that you can use magic the academy won't punish your reckless action."

"That's right, we are doing this for your good because dualists are the empire's treasure."

The arbitrator sitting in the middle massaged his forehead and put down the papers he's been holding and looked at Eugene, saying: "Eugene Shradinza please place a statement." this made everyone satisfied as they kept silent while looking at the Marquis son who they keep pressuring. Unfortunately, Eugene wasn't afraid of their threat and just shrugged.

"Mana is the source energy of every swordsman. If one uses mana to calibrate the strength of the sword for their desired impact, the attack would more likely look like done with magic"

"Mana to be used are usual by swordsmen but there is still a difference which makes people able to identify it at first glance. However, if you will defend yourself by a statement about what is common then I'm afraid that wasn't enough to support the fact of your utterance."

Eugene frown: "I'm not a dualist."

Everyone inside look at each other and nodded.

The arbitrator grabs the gavel and hammered it three times, saying with a calm voice, "Eugene Shradinza please place a second statement."

It means Eugene's remarks are not accepted.

This made Eugene dissatisfied knowing that these old men have no intention of letting him go.

"The process of mana transferring to a weapon can have a breakthrough depending on the mana that a swordsman has in their body. Having mana of more than fifty percent is what would make a swordsman liable as a dualist because the mana fifty percent above is capable of forming a spell. Unfortunately, my mana is only forty-eight percent, I didn't even meet the medium level. How is it that you are accusing me of being a dualist?"

One of the instructor snort.

"Upon entering the Sena Forest, everyone was registered to have an accurate distribution of points to make it easier once grading the examinee individually."

The instructor patted the paper on the table and continued: "We have the record of your game and upon checking the scoring, the four hundred points above were distributed under your name and the time stated is around midnight."

"Young master Shradinza, why are you still trying to hide?"

Eugene grinned, "My mana is forty-eight percent, it's enough to prove that I destroyed the lair without using magic. If you really don't believe, I can destroy this building right now in just a minute."

The room fell into silence.

Eugene can destroy a snake lair full of the high-level beast, wouldn't destroying this building be possible? Ugh, why is the Marquis's second son so hard to control? They keep pushing the matter because once a dualist appears, Eugene who is studying in Eustoma can bring merit to the academy. They couldn't hold onto the son of the grand duke whose power is akin to the royal family, so they wanted to have Eugene do the work instead.

They didn't expect it.

Everyone looks at each other, sweating.

The arbitrator grabs the gavel and hammered it three times: "Instructors, please place a statement."

Eugene grinned evilly.

The arbitrator sighs while reading the reports.

"Impossible! How can a swordsman who only has forty-eight percent of mana destroy a lair full of high-level demonized beasts without the help of magic?!"

"Arbitrator, we object to placing a statement!"

The arbitrator fixes his glasses and glances coldly at the old man. He then grabs the gavel and hammered it three times and said coldly: "Instructors, please place a statement."

The instructors purse their lips and glare at Eugene.

"We don't believe, we want Young Master Shradinza to be tested!"

The arbitrator immediately grabs the gavel without raising his head and hammered it three times: "Rejected. An appraisal is only done for newborns and children of coming-of-age. The academy performing one is against the law."

Eugene chuckled.

This is why he's confident because appraisal can only be done in church and it is only allowed to be performed to newborns and children of coming-of-age. He can say that he's safe now but not in the future. At least he can't let others know now or he'll be in great danger.

Eugene sighs: "I feel bad. How about we do the measurement?"

After all, he can control his mana and with only mana measurement, he can hide.

The instructors look at each other and nodded.

"We have no objection."

The arbitrator nodded: "With both parties' agreements, a mana measure test will be conducted. If both sides have no further discussion, the proceedings can end. Does anyone still have a question?"

One of the academic officers whose been silent raise her hand.

"Regarding the report, what can be the punishment for the offender who destroys some land of Sena Forest? We all know that despite being a dangerous place, Sena Forest is rich in mana stones that's why it's protected. We can't ignore the main reason why Young Master Shradinza was called."

The room became noisy again.

"I raise the complaint. Please impose a punishment on this student."

The instructors' faces turn ugly. The academic officer's words, make them look like a fool because they only care whether Eugene is a dualist or not.

The arbitrator fell into deep thought and glance at the instructors' ugly faces who lowered their heads while gritting their teeth. Seeing their shameful expression the arbitrator chuckled.

"Punishment requested. A supported report was given. Statement approve."

The arbitrator stood up.

"According to the law of the empire and under the rules and regulations of the academy. With the violation made by the student, Eugene Aimer Shradinza, you are punished to withdraw from the selection and must provide the academy compensation for property damage."

Eugene's pupils dilated and everyone look at the arbitrator in surprise.

"N-No! Pulling out from the selection is---"

The arbitrator look at the instructors with sharp eyes and said, "Academic officers' request is valid and is reviewed under the protection law of the empire. Withdrawing from the selection is the mildest punishment that I can give to Young Master Shradinza, for destroying the property of the empire and academy out of frenzy."

Eugene's hand trembled and his eyes deepen.

The Academic Officers didn't expect this outcome so they are also speechless.

Eugene is one of the talented students of the Eustoma, if he is pulled out of the selection, not only it will anger the Marquis but they will also be questioned by the public.

Something like this...

The instructors glare at the academic officers.

Eugene stood up from his seat and walk out of the council room in a heavy mood. The selection is very important to him to show his talent so he can join a war, If he is pulled out how can he start his future plan? He didn't expect to miscalculate the outcome of his action.

His father won't speak for him.

He was sure he will be locked up in the mansion instead because of the mess he did.

He can't go back--

Eugene slows down when the face of the grand duke flashes in his mind.

"Congratulations on being at the top. Though you went a little bit crazy in destroying a lair, it doesn't matter, I can help you to not receive punishment."

Eugene purses his lips.

The grand duke said he can help him, but he didn't want to owe someone. But he can't rely on his father... so what should he do? He didn't want to withdraw from the selection.

Going back to his dormitory.

Eugene locks himself in his room.

His withdrawal will be probably announced later. This is the first time he regrets being reckless. And this is also the first time he miscalculated because he was always confident as he knew the future. It seems like, knowing what's before him wouldn't save him at all.

Why? Why does he feel like, he's becoming---

Numen...

Euegen's eyelid started to become heavy until he loses consciousness.

Kiara floated in the air and look at her master who is slowly waking up. She couldn't help but feel delighted and welcomed Eugene with a warm smile.

"Numen--"

Kiara's words were cut off when Eugene suddenly push her angrily: "Damn it."

Eugene's gloomy eyes landed on Kiara as he stretch his hand to grab the neck of the stupid woman before him: "Say, when can I fully wake up? I'm tired of some shit!"

"Numen?"

"The stupid me out there did something. Do you know how fricking mad I am while watching the happening in the human realm? If it were me I will fucking destroy the whole forest that endangers Timber! Look at me there. What is he looking so down for a mere selection?! If he wants to go to war just fucking destroy a continent!"

"N-Numen calm down!"

"Calm down? How can I calm down while watching myself do stupid things? Feel stupid emotions? Sad? Who the fuck is sad?!"

"A mere selection!"

Kiara tremble and hugged her master saying: "You will wake up soon master, please be patient, I'm also trying my best to make you wake up so you will not fall in love with that woman again."

Eugene pushed Kiara disgustingly, "Woman? My man can just kill her!"

Kiara frown and block her stomach from Eugene's action.

Eugene walks towards the bookshelves and grabs a nearby book before opening it. This has become his habit since coming here. The book he's holding is a record of a deceased person. The man in the book since born has been suffering due to poverty until he dies of sickness due to lack of money for medication. Eugene couldn't help but frown and put it back on the shelf.

"Kiara, go on the bed. I'll suck energy."

If he wanted to wake up, he need to get all the divine power of Kiara.

That's the only purpose for keeping this goddess who had been torturing him for a hundred years. If possible he wanted to get rid of this woman to warn the heavens of his anger but he couldn't do it now, because once Kiara's soul completely disappear in this realm, he will be detected and hunted by those angels.

——The matter of Eugene's withdrawal was announced.

Timber who is sleeping while drolling had no idea about his friend's complication and Eugene whose whole consciousness is in the heaven realm also had no idea about the trouble that happen when his name was pulled out of the list of examinees.

"You can't do this!" Marquis Shradinza with a red face glared at academic officers.

"We're sorry Lord Shradinza, but please settled the accounts and pay the academy compensation for a ruined land."

"That's a snake lair! Shouldn't you be grateful that my son killed a demonized beast that is threatening the lives of people?! How can you people be ungrateful to the fact that you're using the selection as a means to kill all the demon beasts in the Sena Forest?! My son's action is in your favor but you people are greedy hypocrites!"

"Marquis--- Ack! Ah!"

A hand stretch out and crush the hand of the person who was about to touch the Marquis which surprise everyone as they look behind and saw the dark face of Duke Viltaria which made them tremble in fear.

"I have heard the matter and we wanted to open a new proceedings."

The academic officers' faces turn pale.

"Duke, it's not allowed to--"

"If the academy won't accept it. We will request a trial from the palace under the presence of the emperor and all legal personnel that can handle the case regarding the Sena Forest."

The instructors glance at the academic officers mockingly.
