"w..what are you talking about ball?." I was about to climb the stairs but stop abruptly when the ball ask that question suddenly.
[I DIDN'T RECEIVED ANY INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR PLAN, WHICH IS WEIRD. USUALLY, THE INFORMATION ABOUT THIS TYPE OF THINGS WILL BE CONNECTED TO THE SYSTEM]. The ball paused for a short moment which makes me nervous. I feel like the temperature around me had dropped down to a few degrees. [I DID REMIND YOU TO QUICKLY THINK OF A FEW PLAN FOR THIS MISSION.]
*Gulp*
I paused before letting out a small sigh. tapping on the railings a few times, I took a deep breath before continuing to climb the stairs.
[I ASSUME THAT YOU DON'T WANT ME TO KNOW ABOUT YOUR PLANS. CARE TO TELL ME ABOUT WHAT YOU HAVE IN MIND, VIOLLETE??]. The ball's voice is cold. I knew the ball is serious right now because he has started calling me by my name.
"Still..," I stopped at the top of the stairs as I chuckle softly. "The situation right now is unexpected" I mumbled softly but still having the small smile plastered on my face.
"...You can read my mind now, Right?'' I asked slowly.
[YES...]
Holding the railing, I fix my glasses as I smile mischievously. "Heh, fine... I'll tell you this." I put my fingers on my lip to cover up the evil smile that has formed on my face. "The reason why you didn't know about my plan is that..."
[BECAUSE.....?]
"Because..." Heh... the ball is getting impatient, I wonder what will his reaction be if he knew the truth? I can't help but chuckle silently.
[TELL ME...WHAT'S YOUR REASON?] The ball's voice is still cold which makes this situation a lot funnier. To me, at least.
"Pfftt... the reason is nothing serious actually!!!" My shoulder shakes as I stifled my laugh. "I just...i just didn't think of any plan!!! "
[WHA...]
"Heehhe... I guess that's why you didn't receive any information!!!" I grip the railing tightly as I tried really hard to stifle my laugh.
[SO, THE REASON I CAN'T READ YOUR MINE ABOUT THE PLAN WAS...]
"Haha!! It just never exists, to begin with!!!! There's nothing to read!!!! Kuhhaha....!!! Oh my gosh!!! Isn't this funny!!!???
[....]
"Haha!!! Are you mad right now?? Are you feeling stupid right no-OWOWOWW!!!"
Suddenly, I feel a jolt of pain in the nerve all over my body. "Ow!!! OW!!!" The pain was too sudden and, " Oh SHIEE- " I accidentally lost my footing an-
"Gah!!!!" "Guh!!" "Guehhh!!!!" I fall miserably from the top of the stairs. Even then,
*BZZzztttTT*
"GAH!!!! ST-STOP IT!!!" As I lie down pitifully on the floor, the electric shock didn't stop even for a second. I gritted my teeth to not start screaming.
[OH MY... SO FUNNY... I CAN'T HELP BUT laugh... AHA HA HA HA. OH NO... LOOK AT WHAT YOU HAVE DONE. THIS IS SO FUNNY, I CAN'T HELP BUT PUSH THIS BLUE BUTTON. AHA HA HA ]
"DAMN IT!!!!! THAT HURT!!! STOP YOU STUPID BALL!!!" UAHH!!!??. Suddenly, I can feel the power level of the electric increasing. I clenched my hand tightly into a fist as I worked hard to get up.
Oh my gosh!!! That girl just falls from the stairs!!! Is she okay!!??
That fall was pretty bad.. is she alright??
Should we call the teacher!!??
H..hey... Should we help her??
L..let's wait for a while.. people are staring!! I'm too shy!!
She is getting up... She looks fine to me...
As I work very hard to hold the pain, I could care less about all the whisper from the students around me. That's not important right now...
I put my left hand on my face to cover up the expression that I am about to make. With gritted teeth, I glare at my own palm as if I want to burn something that I hate the most. I put all my focus to control my breathing and my anger so that I didn't start cursing like a maniac in front of all these students.
" I have a reputation to uphold." I take a deep breath again.
"Hey, ball... Isn't this enough?? I think, I still remember you said something along the way about a system can't disturb the host on their mission. Am I right??". Somehow, I can even feel the vein bulging on my forehead now.
[I DID SAY THAT.. ] the electric shock now has stopped.
I was about to take a breath of relief when-
*BZZZZTTTTT*
" !!!!! Ff..fuc !! " The familiar electric shock return again, but this time with a level higher than before.
[ THIS TERM ONLY APPLY TO THE HOST WHO works PROPERLY FOR THEIR MISSION] *BZZzztttTT* "OW!! [NOT ONLY YOU DIDN'T THINK OF ANY PLAN..] *BZZzztttTT* GAHH!!! [ YOU DIDN'T EVEN TAKE THIS MISSION SERIOUSLY.] *BZZZZTTTTT* WUAHHH!!!
[SO, WHAT I'M DOING RIGHT NOW IS THE PUNISHMENT FOR THE TYPE OF HOST THAT DIDN'T WANT TO TAKE THIS MISSION SERIOUSLY.] *BZZZZTTTTT*
OKAY OKAY!!! STOP STOPPP!!! I'm sorry!!! OW OW!!! I'll TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY!!! OW OW!!! FUC...!!! STOP IT!!!
And the electric shock stopped finally. I can breathe a sigh of relief, at last. Note for me. "In the future, take the mission seriously." I sigh again with my head down.
The whispers from the students around have not died down yet. Not that I care... I rub the back of my head with a small frown.
"Welp... Whatever .."
I was about to wake up when someone hands me the glasses in front of my face.
Ah!! The glasses might have dropped from my face when I fell down before!!! I somehow just realized that I didn't have the glasses on my face.
I look up to see who is the owner of the hand. When I look at her face, I unconsciously hold my breath. This girl is really pretty!!! She has a flowing long blue hair that reached her waist. When you look at her eyes, you can see that her eyes are purple just like Amethyst. If someone were to look at it.. they will surely feel scared because she has a really cold expression. But, I'm sure no one can deny her beauty.
" She is really pretty... " I thought in my head. Still, she looks very familiar. I stare at her face a little longer.
[ YOU MET HER YESTERDAY, YOU KNOW.]
Huh..?? When?
[SIGH... SHE'S THE VILLAINESS!!! REMEMBER?? HOW CAN YOU FORGET THE FACE OF YOUR MAIN OBJECTIVE IN THIS MISSION!!??]
Hold on... this girl supposed to be the villainess!!!??? I was startled by the information.
[HOW CAN YOU FORGET HER FACE JUST LIKE THAT. YOU MET HER YESTERDAY ALREADY.]. The ball interrupted my train of thought.
Hey... I wear those thick glasses yesterday so, I didn't get any chance to look at her face properly. And.. you know what happen yesterday, right!!?? I sigh again. What a pain...
"Hey.. you okay?" A voice suddenly asked.
I focus on the owner of the voice again. The Villainess. Rebecca Sullivan. The daughter of a rich businessman. Her family is so rich and is only second to the male lead's family. In the novel, due to disappointing her parent's expectations, she was disowned from the family. No one wanted to help her after what she did. She sleeps in the slump after that and lives a life like a hell just to get by.
I feel disturbed just thinking about that. I shake my head slowly to focus on the task at hand.
"I... " Opening my mouth, I wanted to reply to her question, but I was too nervous.
"... Can you stand up??" She asked again.
I just nodded slowly before trying to get up only to find that my leg is now numb from staying in the same position. " Ah! " I accidentally hold her hand that is holding my glasses to help stabilize myself.
"My leg.. is numb," I told her as I rub my leg to help the blood flow better. I didn't release my grip from her hand but shockingly, she didn't seem to mind either.
After a few seconds, I am finally able to stand up. When I did, I find out that I am taller than Rebecca. It seems like she was shocked by this fact too. But she is good to hide her expression. I just chuckle under my breath.
Hey, ball.. are you sure she is a Villainess?? I don't sense any evil intent coming from her. I asked the ball curiously as I look around to see that all the students have a pale expression on their faces. It seems like they all are scared of this girl in front of me.
[ YOU FOUGHT WITH THE DRAGONS, THE UNDEAD, THE DEMONS, THE MONSTER, AND MANY TYPE OF HUMANS. HOW CAN YOU BE SCARED OF A GIRL LIKE HER. ] The ball replied in a sarcastic manner which I just snort in return.
" All the more reason I believe in my judgment that this girl is not evil like everybody thinks of." I return my attention toward the girl who is labeled as Villainess.
''I've fought with many evil beings, I can recognize someone has evil intention just by their presence." I sigh softly as I stare at this girl.
[ THAT'S WHY I TOLD YOU... YOUR MISSION IS SAVE THE VILLAINESS. SO, HURRY UP AND SAVE HER!!!!]
"W..wait.. does that mean!!?" I was shocked by the ball's statement. " Does that mean that the villainess is not actually an evil person?? is there something else that causes her the bad ending inside the novel!!??"
[TOOK YOU LONG ENOUGH TO THINK OF THE REAL MISSION, VIOLLETE...]
"Tch... then, that makes everything different." if you told me that earlier, I could have taken everything more seriously, you stupid ball.."
