I’ll Become a Villainess That Will Go Down in History

I went to the magic academy again today to meet Liz Cather.

She was the only one I knew who could use healing magic. She might be able to perform a miracle.

I was well aware that relying solely on her at this point was the worst thing I could do. But I wanted to save Gramps so much that I could put aside even that pride.

I didn’t say anything to Duke, but I think he knew something was wrong by the way I was acting.

It was hard to keep my cool, and I needed to see Liz Cather to calm down.

I want her to say, “There’s nothing I can’t do.”

I despised all that “nice” talk, but I still wanted her to tell me that.

Duke was quietly watching me. I was sure he wouldn’t ask me anything until I told him.

That’s why I felt relaxed around him.

When I arrived at the school, I heard a lot of noise. The loud voices of the students echoed in my ears. Both boys and girls were shouting about something. Their powerful voices have spread throughout the school since this morning.

…Was there another incident?

When will this school settle down?

We made our way to where the students were gathered after a brief exchange of glances with Duke.

“Liz Cather has been cheating on us!”

“We have to punish her!”

“Liz Cather is just a commoner!”

What is this?

In the courtyard, there were students wearing a headband with the name “Black Angel” written on it, and they were wearing a terrible expression on their faces.

I thought that name was so lame that it sent chills down my spine. But that wasn’t the point of what was going on right now.

I was sure they were part of the extremist faction, the Alicia faction, who were outraged by Liz Cather’s behavior yesterday.

It was not a peaceful resolution, as I had hoped. I never imagined that everything would be settled so quickly, but I also never imagined that the situation would turn out like this….

Looking at their momentum, I wondered if they would stage a demonstration, something I was sure Alicia would never want to do.

Why were all the people in this academy so stupid?

I wish they would use their heads a little more. This country was ruined because people like this were in power just because they could use magic.

I didn’t know much about other countries, but being able to use magic was certainly a great thing, but it was not how a leader of a country should be selected.

“What the heck is this?”

Next to me, Duke wrinkled his brow and looked blatantly disgusted.

That was the kind of look that I would make when looking at such a sickening group of people.

“Alicia faction, they say? I think this is a little too much…”

“If Alicia sees this, she’ll be offended. Let’s get this over with.”

Duke said as he moved closer to them. I followed Duke.

Let’s put off looking for Liz Cather for now.
