The Villainess Will Crush Her Destruction End Through Modern Firepower Chapter 13

Finally, after we finished the long, unpleasant entrance ceremony, we were sent to ohur respective cla.s.srooms for orientation.

…wait, what the h.e.l.l Friedrich? You're in the same cla.s.s as I am?

While we were choosing our seats, Friedrich came to me with a smile.

“Hey there. Are you perhaps the rumored Astrid? Your prank earlier seemed interesting, but I think you better not use Blood Magic for fun. We don't know what might happen to other people if we do that, you see?”

“And does your majesty know me?”

Why'd you know my name? Even though I planned to spend my school days smoothly without letting you even remember my name?

“Your father and Count Fraunhofer always talk about you in the Imperial Court, you see. They say that the daughter of Duke Oldenburg's house has a tremendous talent in Magic, and said she had digested everything to be taught in the academy.”

Fatherrr!! You were so against me studying magic so what the h.e.l.l!

And Count Fraunhofer too, please don't say anything unnecessary!

“They also said you had an immeasurable amount of mana. I am glad to hear that our country has someone with an outstanding talent like you. Let us continue prospering our Prussian Empire together, Lady Astrid.”

“Just “Astrid” would suffice, your highness. Let us prosper our Prussian Empire together.”

I showed a fake smile as I said that.

Keh. Who would develop the kingdom with you. If I'm heading for a ruinous end then I might as well wage war against this kingdom. And to say I'm going to develop this country with you. Please consider only saying some stupid stuff in moderation.

“Astrid, did I perhaps hurt your feelings in any ways?”

“N-No! I was just nervous to be able to speak with his highness like this!”

s.h.i.t. Mother had already warned me that my thoughts are showing on my face.

“Well then, I look forward to getting along with you as cla.s.smates.”

Friedrich left those words behind as he went away.

“Who were you talking with, Friedrich?”

“It was Lady Astrid. She was famous for having impressive talent in magic.”

Beyond Friedrich's destination was a blonde, blue-eyed beautiful boy. Judging by how overly-familiar he's talking with Friedrich means that he's probably…

“Still, I am glad that I get to be in the same cla.s.s as you, Adolf.

“Yes. Let's do our best together as cla.s.smates.”

Adolf!

I think he's the son of the leader of the kingdom's strongest knights, the Golden Lion Chivalric Order, Adolf Franz von Wallenstein.

He's also one of the capture target, a high-and-mighty type of guy.

He's usually brazen in speech, but he felt the pressure of being the son of the knights' captain, so he was worried about becoming the next chivalric leader. Not to mention, he harbored deep inferiority complex for being bad at Blood Magic which was essential to join the chivalric order.

And thus, the heroine comforted the troubled Adolf and won him over.

By the way, in his route as well, Astrid was saying something about a commoner isn't appropriate to be with the next leader of the order and tried to get in the way in the route…

To be honest, the high-and-mighty type is not my cup of tea, so I don't have much interest in him.

I'll have to manage my likability, but I don't feel like getting close to him. A wise man steers away from danger.

“If it isn't your Highness. I am honored to be able to attend the same cla.s.s as yours.”

“Silvio! You are on the same cla.s.s too, I see. But could you please stop it with calling me your Highness. I, too, am just a student who wants to spend my school days in this academy.”

Silvio is a brown-haired bob-cut boy.

Hm? Silvio? I searched through the dictionary in my brain.

Aah, he's also a capture target! Silvio Heinrich von Stine, the son of the Prussian Empire's prime minister.

He's an extraordinarily intellectual character, and he's very observant of a person.

He thought that his father's methods shows that he thinks lightly of the emperor, and he is in distress since his father would not acknowledge his opinion in that regard. Not to mention, his prowess in magic is subpar, and the fact that he could not get used to using magic gradually turned into his complex.

B-But I didn't think there will be so much capture target gathered here. The place I'm at now is truly a dangerous minefield. I don't know when I'll hit a landmine, so I must proceed while playing minesweeper.

“Everyone, on your seats.”

I heard that when I was being cautious about the collection of capture targets.

“I am Gregor von Guericke, who will be in charge of this cla.s.s of 1-A. I will also be teaching Wind and Fire elementals. If any of you in this cla.s.s have any problems, be sure to let me know.”

The one who said that was an uncle of about 40 years old in the prime of his life. I got the feeling from him that he's the elite choice picked for being in charge of the cla.s.s the prince is in.

But someone's entering just after him.

“I apologize for my tardiness. I'm the a.s.signed trainee teacher for this cla.s.s, Bernhardt von Bronikovsky. I will also be teaching Fire and Wind elementals, the same course as Guericke-sensei. I will do my best, so please count on me.”

The one who greeted us with a bow was a young man in his late teens. His black, swept-back hair was elegantly tied into a topknot. He looked sleepy but with his decent features, he looks like he'd be popular with the girls…

…wait—

GYAAH! Bernhardt von Bronikovskyy!? This man is also a capture target!

Bernhardt von Bronikovsky,

He's a character that makes an appearance as a licensed teacher in the protagonist's cla.s.s in the Saint Satanachia high school department. He has a simple personality, unlike the other irresolute men, he's a nice, reliable guy who shows no weakness.

Having no weakness and his position as a teacher and the heroine as a student, he's the hardest character to conquer in the game. But once you truly get into a relationship with this nice guy, he's the type of person that's like an older brother who gets dragged around during a secret date.

The difference in age was rather roundabout, but I think in that game “Wish upon a Shooting Star”, he was the only character I was interested in. As for the other guys, put on some more efforts, you hear? Efforts I tell you. Solve your problems without having to be consoled.

Still though, I want to get closer to this onii-san, but he was a capture target, and if he's wed to the heroine in the future, it could lead to a chain of events where my house gets destroyed, so I can't carelessly interfere with that.

But honestly I don't want to hand over this onii-san to the heroine…Isn't it unfair that the heroine have a wide selection of men to choose while the villainess can't freely fall in love? Huh, so a villainess is that sort of character, huh.

Haaa……I want to be born as the heroine…

While I grieved by myself, a printout was circulated from the front.

Was ist das? It says we'll be having a training camp in the Tallberg forest for freshmen orientation.

They're going all out on this elementary school orientation, huh.

This is a training camp of n.o.bles though, so I bet it'll be crawling with servants and it won't be different than usual. Usually in training camps you'll go to an onsen and check out other people's physiques, and then we'll have a love talk until late into the night, but we probably won't have that.

Aah. It's such a pain in the a.s.s, and this cla.s.s is filled with danger.

It's a shame, but I will be absent from this freshman orientation camp.

“No.”

That was the result of me asking father if I can sit out the freshman orientation camp.

“Even though this is the chance for you to get closer with your cla.s.smate, why would you want to sit out of it? If it goes well, you can build connections with other n.o.ble sons and daughters and you can gain a high position in society.”

“Uhh…I am uncomfortable sleeping with people from outside of this house. If I don't sleep in the bed I'm used to, I won't be able to sleep.”

“Have you ever stayed at any other place other than in the house?”

“No……”

Right, I haven't slept over any other place other than this house. My cousin Iris (super cute) had stayed over at our place before, but I haven't slept over at any place other than this Duke Oldenburg's mansion.

“Bu-But maybe I won't be able to sleep, you know?”

“Do not complain before you see it for yourself.”

I've thought of it before, but my father doesn't think of me as a girl, does he? He thinks of me as a boy, doesn't he? Why is that?

“Besides, his Highness Friedrich is also in your cla.s.s, is he not? This is a chance you cannot lose. If you can get closer to his Highess Friedrich, you can become the empress, you know.”

Like I said, stop it with those awful suggestions, father!

I'm not interested interested in Friedrich personally, and he's a landmine branded as a capture target. If I carelessly get closer to Friedrich, you and the rest of our family will end up living in the streets, you know? Are you okay with that?

“I don't believe his Higness will look my direction. It is unthinkable that such a peace-loving bright person to have any interest in a magic idiot like me. Let's give up on his highness Friedrich. Let's do just that!”

“If you realize that you're a magic idiot then go fix that.”

No way! I'm implementing magic to destroy my future with modern weapons! Besides, Friedrich is just completely out. There's no single thing that match between me and Friedrich. He's a pure pacifist, saying flowery things like advocating the use of magic for peace.

“Father, if this bad-mannered me gets close to his Highness Friedrich, your fame in the imperial court will also drop, you know?”

“You are not bad-mannered…I think, so it should be fine.”

Do you really have that little faith in my manner? I said it myself, but it's kind of upsetting. I am polite when talking with someone older, and I show the appropriate manners of someone in this social position. I still have the teaching of Confucianism engraved in me.

“Father, I'm telling you it's impossible. Let's stop this now. I know it will not yield a satisfactory result.”

“What are you going to do if you whittle down before attempting it? If you show the same spirit you have with magic and use that to get close to his Majesty, he'll think you are a nice girl and will be interested in you.”

This over-doting parent, I swear. I'm not that nice of a girl.

“Or did you by any chance have someone in your heart already?”

Waah! Father had no delicacy! A parent shouldn't be saying things like this about your child's romance! Especially you can't ask if your daughter had anyone she likes!

“It couldn't be possibly Wolf, could it?”

“No, I admire Wolf-sensei, but I do understand our age difference.”

When I was four, Wolf-sensei was 25, so there was a 21 year age gap. No matter how you cut it, it's too large.

“But there are no other men you came close to other than Wolf…”

“I do not have anyone in my heart just yet.”

I haven't gotten a taste of the sweet-and-sour fruit that is romance, father.

“I understand. But you have to attend the freshmen orientation camp. I will not listen to any more excuses. I won't tell you to get close to his Highness Friedrich, but try your best to get along with other n.o.bles.”

“Yees…”

With that, in the end I had to partic.i.p.ate in the orientation camp with a cla.s.s filled with danger.

Let's pray to G.o.d that nothing happens in the trip.

Namu, namu.

TLC:

Namu is a Buddhist chant. I think it's an abbreviation for Namu Amida Butsu, but since I don't have extensive knowledge about it I won't say anything detailed.

Hope you enjoyed the chapter, and have a great day.
