The Villainess Whom I Had Served for 13 Years Has Fallen - Chapter 405



405 – Special Lesson in Hell -2-

“Is everyone here?”

Malik, sitting in the senior director’s office, looked at those standing before him with a faint smile.

“You all have good eyes.”

Those standing had eyes filled with determination. It seemed they were full of the will to become stronger. Malik could feel their dissatisfaction with their current state.

With a satisfied expression, Malik began to call out names while nodding.

“Third-year Swordsmanship Department, Mikhail.”

“Yes.”

At Malik’s call, Mikhail nodded and stepped forward. Mikhail, who appeared with a holy sword at his waist, felt unusually calm.

‘I want to be someone who can help Ricardo… because I am still lacking in many ways.’

He also wanted to achieve the maximum growth in this lesson.

To repay the debts he couldn’t yet repay. And to stand by Ricardo’s side, Mikhail was determined.

“Third-year Healing Department, Yuria.”

“Yes.”

Yuria was the same.

“Third-year Magic Department, Luin.”

“Yes.”

Luin was the same.

Not many students could be said to have come to this place. Even those gathered here were just a little over ten.

(Participant List)

●Swordsmanship Department

Mikhail, Histania Hanna, Sigor Rook, Rohan, Elliria Bailin

●Magic Department

Luin, Tetra Schuengel, Leocard Chartia, Adrian Flukner, Airi

●Healing Department

Yuria, Sophia, Gael, Lynn, Mira Silvaren

Nevertheless, Malik thought that the determined expressions were not bad. If they had come with half-hearted resolutions, they would only dampen the atmosphere.

Malik began to speak, looking at those in front of him with unwavering eyes.

“Those present here have been selected to receive guidance from an instructor who was difficult to invite from outside during the summer vacation.”

“…”

“You were selected through ‘volunteering,’ not obligation, and you are exemplary students who ‘gave up’ your vacation out of a passion for learning.”

“…”

Emphasizing once again that they applied ‘of their own will,’ Malik continued with a cold smile.

“This is your last chance.”

“…”

“A chance for you to dream of miraculous changes at the academy.”

“…”

“First-year student of the Swordsmanship Department, Sigor Rook.”

“Y-Yes!”

The freshman, nervous among many seniors, answered Malik’s call loudly, clenching his fists.

“What rank did you achieve in the recent ranking battle?”

“420th place!”

“A pathetic number.”

“I’m sorry!”

“Seeing that you have a surname, are you a noble?”

“Yes! The Sigor family manages a small territory on the outskirts!”

“What is your goal before graduation?”

“To enter the top 50 in the ranking battle and develop the territory!”

“Do you think your name has the influence to develop the territory?”

“No! I just want to provide some comfort to the territory’s residents who are trembling in fear because of the monsters…!”

Malik nodded with a small smile at the loud answer.

“I like it. Sigor, if you endure the class until the end, I will grant you a scholarship.”

“Thank you!”

Malik smiled as he looked at the envious eyes of the students. A good atmosphere had been formed.

“Other students, if you show passionate attitudes in class, there will be opportunities for scholarships as well, so don’t be too disheartened.”

“Wow…!”

“Then…”

“…”

“From now on, you all have to sign the contract I prepared.”

At Malik’s signal, Shalltear, who was standing with a stern expression, took a step forward, placed a stack of papers on the desk, and returned.

Those who saw the contents of the contract looked at Malik with the same expression Shalltear had shown earlier.

“This document is a binding contract.”

“…”

“It was commissioned by a high-ranking wizard, so it has quite strong binding power.”

“…Wait…wait a moment.”

Malik raised his hand and spoke firmly to the young student who was about to ask a question.

“Questions will be taken after I finish speaking.”

“…I’m sorry.”

Malik continued.

“This document is a pledge not to disclose any details about the special classes that will take place during the vacation and a waiver stating that you will bear any damage that occurs.”

“…”

“Don’t worry, I’ll cover the medical expenses.”

“…”

“The moment you infuse magic into the contract, it will be sealed. Once that happens, you can’t undo it or run away because you don’t like it.”

“…”

“It must seem strange. You might wonder why we’re writing such a document, whether it’s just to scare you, or if we’re really going to make you do something dangerous.”

“That’s right…”

“But.”

Malik said seriously, looking at them.

“I assure you. By the end of this vacation, you will have become monsters.”

“…”

“First of all.”

Malik grabbed a sheet of paper and said with a bright smile.

“I will sign first.”

“What?”

“I plan to take the class as well.”

Malik’s determination began to boil.

Another peaceful day at Hamel’s mansion.

“From now on, I will explain the schedule.”

Ricardo and the children (Hans, Alicia) gathered in the mansion’s basement, looking at me with serious expressions as I stood by the blackboard.

“We will deeply engrave the words of the Saint in our hearts.”

“…”

“I will write down everything the Saint says. It’s a necessary task for writing the scriptures.”

“There’s no need to go that far…”

I began to speak with an awkward smile. These were people who wouldn’t bend their will no matter what I said.

“As I mentioned before, I will be guiding the academy students starting this coming Monday.”

-Nod. Nod.

“I’m truly sorry for involving such esteemed individuals in this matter, but it was a request from a benefactor… Thank you very much for accommodating such an unreasonable request.”

“If it’s a request from the Saint, even to hell…”

“I will follow you to heaven.”

“I don’t expect that much…”

I glanced at them and smiled.

“According to the list I received in advance, it seems there are about 15 people.”

I spoke about the rough plan.

“I plan to teach the swordsmen.”

“…”

“Alicia, please take charge of the healing department students.”

“…Understood.”

“And Hans, please take charge of the magic department.”

Hans, who had been quietly listening, raised his hand with an uneasy expression.

“Saint…”

“Yes, Hans.”

“Honestly, I lack confidence.”

“What kind of confidence do you lack?”

I looked at the name of the wizard on the list and uttered a question filled with doubt. Hans now had enough knowledge to teach academy students with ease.

‘Is it because of Ruin?’

I didn’t think it would be difficult for Hans to work with someone from his past. The students’ reactions would naturally be negative.

But.

“I think it’s best for Hans to take charge of the Department of Magic.”

Knowing that no one could teach them as well as Hans, I pushed forward with the plan. Especially Ruin, who would be motivated by seeing Hans, who was a step above.

Hans, who had been listening quietly, spoke with a heavy heart.

“Saint… I.”

“Yes.”

“I can’t do it moderately.”

“Ah.”

“I’m afraid I might half-kill them… and bring disgrace to you, Saint.”

“It’s alright. We even prepared a contract for such situations.”

“A contract… you say?”

Hans smiled coldly.

“Ah… my brain is trembling.”

Why is that?

I felt like I had heard that line before.

Elicia also raised her hand quietly and spoke softly.

“Saint.”

“Yes.”

“May I spread the teachings about you, Saint?”

“Uh… that…”

“I will do it moderately.”

From noble mtl dot com

I nodded with a bitter smile.

“Then, please take care of it.”

The first day of class came not long after.

I was already waiting in the deep mountains on the outskirts of the capital, smiling slightly at the voices coming from the steep path.

-Huff… Huff… Are we going the right way, Director?

-Yes.

-No matter what, an orc…! It’s coming again!

-The members of the Swordsmanship Department should form ranks. Histania Hanna and Mikhail, stand by.

-Then…!?

-You will face them directly.

A good sound.

The sound of youth burning.

-aaah!!!! Director, please help us!

-Be quiet.

It seemed like Malik was doing well.

Because it seemed like he had figured out the reason for choosing a monster habitat where people don’t go as the class location.

About 10 minutes passed, and I looked at those who were climbing the peak with a smile, as if they were about to die.

“…What.”

“Why is that guy…?”

“No way… is it?”

“Who is that person, seniors?”

It was inevitable to feel nervous because of the expectant gazes. I looked at the students full of the desire to learn and smiled brightly.

“Hello.”

The more this happened, the more I had to smile.

“One, two… fifteen, sixteen. It seems everyone is here.”

Including Malik, there were 16 people.

I stood on the small podium and cleared my throat before speaking.

“I am Ricardo, the chief instructor and guest lecturer for this camp.”

First of all.

“Then everyone.”

I looked at the students with a friendly smile.

“Your expectations are too high.”

The students’ eyes began to tremble greatly.
