Train …?
Her words made freeze.
I never expected her to say sothing like that. Even if I had said such things a few tis before, I never expected to be on the receiving end of such words.
I suppose this is what is ant by a situation in which one’s thinking stops.
I thought vaguely about what she had said.
I wondered what I would be retorting with if I were a real villainess.
How would a ruthless and cold-hearted, evil woman accept this invitation? A woman who sotis spits venom based on righteous and harsh decisions. She cuts off whatever is not in her best interests.
If I am trained under Kushana, I would be stronger. I might not feel as powerless as I do now. I wanted the strength to be able to protect what was important to .
It would be uncharacteristic of to have soone train , but there were limits to how strong I could beco on my own.
I couldn’t reach Liz-san’s level, a Saint, no matter how hard I tried. If I couldn’t use magic, I’d have to hone my martial arts skills.
“Don’t you want to train you?”
I responded with a short “Yes”.
“How impertinent! There are many who would like to be trained by Queen Kushana!”
“…You wouldn’t understand.”
I stared into the eyes of the person who had shouted at .
“I was defeated by her. Don’t you think it’s humiliating to be told by soone you fought with in the sa ring that they would train you?”
The place is silent for a mont. Still, I continued speaking.
“It’s infuriating and frustrating, but I’m going to go higher. I don’t wish to accept your offer.”
“Cheeky’!”
Kushana never looked at , waiting for my next words.
“My na is Alicia. Please teach martial arts.”
It would be aningless if I did not ask of my own volition.
I bowed politely and courteously to Kushana.
I had always thought that a villainess would never bow down to ask for a favor, but sotis you have to have the strength to bow down.
“My pleasure.”
After a pause, I heard a calm voice.
My heart skipped a beat the mont I heard those words.
It was a wonderful mont when soone who had been my enemy before beca my friend! Kushana must be the hero and I must be the villain!
I was destined to remain evil, no matter where I went.
I looked up and Victor looked at quizzically, wrinkling his brow.
“What are you grinning at, you’re disgusting. You’re the one who lost.”
“I know. I was proud of my strength, but it wasn’t like that at all. I’m still a work in progress.”
“No, Master is more than strong enough.”
Leon quickly said to .
Duke-sama didn’t say anything and looked a bit confused.
I wonder if he was unhappy that I would still be in the Ravaal Kingdom. Or was there sothing wrong in Duelkis Kingdom?
“If Master is inexperienced, then what about ?”
“You’re a small fish.”
“Shall I pull out your tongue, so you can never speak again?”
Leon gave Victor a big smile. Kushana’s voice ca across as a little stern as she stared at them.
“You’d better be prepared for the people to look at you with a cold stare.”
I couldn’t help but be excited by those words.
I was better off not being welcod by her people! A Villainess should always be hated!
Besides, I received a lot of cold stares at the academy. I was more immune to cold stares than anyone else.
“If everyone speaks the sa archaic language, I’m going to perish…”
“Don’t worry, we can all speak the sa language. …But more importantly, why does Alicia look so happy to hear that the people hate her?”
“She’s an odd one.”
Leon, you sound sowhat like Gilles….
“Hey, you guys forgot to ntion this earlier; what are you going to do about the Maddie thing?”
Victor asked with a grim look on his face.
