The Villainess Will Crush Her Destruction End Through Modern Firepower Chapter 14

The day finally came.

It's the day of Saint Satanachia Academy's Freshman Orientation Camp.

Just like I had predicted, the servants of n.o.ble boys and girls are following along. On the other hand, my sharp-minded, kind, and strict maid is following along, so I can't be a pot calling the kettle black.

At that point, I took a glance at Friedrich.

Friedrich was chatting with his cla.s.smate Adolf and Silvio. As expected, the bunch of boys were also bringing their fair share of servants. Especially Friedrich, who brought along knights as servants that also serves as a guard. Talk about overprotective.

Bernhardt: “Alright, please gather with your cla.s.s.”

Instead of the strict, professional teacher Guericke, it was the trainee teacher Bernhardt who called us. Don't let the trainee teacher deal with all cla.s.ses. Don't let the elderly take care of everything too. This academy looks like it doesn't treat its employees well. I wouldn't want to be working here.

I gathered with Cla.s.s 1-A as instructed.

As I did, somehow Friedrich started approaching me with Adolf and Silvio in tow. Why are you coming here? Don't tell me, I'm still going to have my house destroyed even before the heroine pops up?!

Friedrich: “Astrid, let's get along as cla.s.smates. I thought that I would love to have this chance to deepen our relationship with each other.”

Astrid: “Y, Yes. Likewise.”

s.h.i.t. He's a prince, so I can't just deal with him imprudently. But I don't want to get closely involved with you lots. You're just big baby boys who just wants to be consoled by Heroine-chan anyways!

Friedrich: “Then please let me introduce my friends to you. This is Adolf, and this is Silvio.”

Adolf: “I'm Adolf. Nice to meet you.”

Silvio: “I'm Silvio. Astrid-sama, I heard that you have magnificent talent in magic in such young age, so may I ask you if I have a question in cla.s.s?”

I knew these guys even without him introducing me, but based on the setting, this is our first meeting.

Astrid: “Yes. It is nice to meet you as well. I do not know if I have talent in magic, I would be happy to be of help.”

Go somewhere else, quickly! Go on, git! Get yourself far, far away!

Friedrich: “We are the people who would support the future of our Prussian Empire. Let's all cultivate ourselves and help each other, Astrid.”

Silvio: “Yes. As a rival, as a friend, and as a fellow Prussian Empire n.o.ble, let's pursue our academics every day.”

Keh. I'm just fine clearing out my own path.

Bernhardt: “Alright, very well, let us start the freshmen orientation..”

Wait, in the end the orientation started with Friedrich next to me! Am I going to receive the instructions about the orientation while surrounded by a minefield like this? I don't feel like living.

Won't this h.e.l.lish orientation please just end quickly?

I wanna just go home and prepare the blueprint for my next weapon—.

And then I'll slaughter Friedrich, Adolf and Silvio with my completed weapons.

Kukuku. Go on and live your lives carelessly. I will roast up that s.h.i.t called fate with my own strength…!

With that, the orientation started.

The orientation was an orientation. They explained simply what you'll learn in the elementary school department, and how to spend your time in the academy. It was boring.

After that, it was the demonstration of magic from the teachers.

A young female teacher is making a water fountain in the air with some water-bending technique, Guericke-sensei creating a fireball to explode them in the air, or a middle-aged male teacher creating gold out of earth-bending magic.

It was quite magnificent, and I was pretty absorbed into it, but it's way lower than my capability. If I have my modern weapons, I would've been able to ma.s.sacre even sorcerers. If fate brought me to fight the sorcerers of this kingdom, I think I won't have much of a difficulty.

But the students are watching the teachers with sparkling eyes. Well, for a child that just first witnessed magic, they would definitely be surprised.

Anyways, I have to to keep down my haughtiness so I wouldn't prematurely head toward my ruins. I think the teachers are now showing the students the grandness of magic to show them what they can learn in the academy. That size of water fountain and the fireball requires meticulous mana control. I think the academy had gathered teachers who had the ability to do so, and the students would learn everything they can teach.

Friedrich: “It is splendid, is it not, Astrid?”

Astrid: “It is, your Highness. Controlling that magic is truly a difficult task. Failure in controlling it would turn into a ghastly water ball.”

Friedrich: “G, Ghastly water ball…?”

Oh, right. I shouldn't make too much contact with Friedrich. I don't know when my fate would come and attack me. The heroine has not appeared yet, but it was just a speculation. I have to proceed carefully through the minefield, line up the prisoners of war and get rid of them.

Astrid: “I'm just talking to myself. I too struggled with magic control, so I truly understand that splendor.”

Adolf: “Can you do that as well, miss Astrid?

To my statement, Adolf asked.

Hmph, I felt challenged for some reason. I knew he's arrogant, but since I'm not too into him, I'm quite disgruntled.

Astrid: “I can. See?”

I created a water fountain the size of my palm and showed him.

I then dispelled the flowing water by imagining nothingness, and created new water. It looked like a mere party trick, but this is quite an advanced technique.

Silvio: “Hoo. Impressive. To be able to create this kind of small fountain…I heard that people with huge mana potential like miss Astrid would find it extraordinary difficult to control your mana, but it seems like you managed to perfectly control it.”

Adolf: “It looks quite plain though.”

Silvio was impressed, but Adolf said that while looking bored.

Yeah, keep being stupid. There is actually quite the appropriate amount of hardships to create this fountain. First you have to call for the Water Spirit, control the amount of Mana and the image of water and erase the flowing water with pinpoint accuracy.

Bernhardt: “Well then, it is free time from now on. We will be having a barbecue from 6 PM, so please gather back at that time.”

Bernhardt-sensei as the host told us about the completion of the orientation.

I wonder what would happen from now on though.

Can I really destroy my ruinous fate?

I finally got a place of respite amidst the freshman orientation camp.

And that place is my own room! In order to learn the basics of group life in the orientation, 4 students are placed in a room together. There would also be three other cla.s.smates a.s.signed to my room.

???: “Astrid-sama,”

While I lying down in the place of respite without Friedrich, the kid from another bed called out to me. It's not like we're acquainted, so who could it be?

Astrid: “Who might you be?”

???: “My apologies. I am Miine von Maal, the second daughter of Earl Maal.”

I feel like I've heard of the Maal house.

Miine: “Earlier, I saw Astrid-sama talking intimately with his Highness Friedrich, so I wonder, what is your relationships with his Highness?”

Astrid: “Landmine—no, it was simple admiration.”

I replied Miine's question witha light-hearted tone.

Of course, I couldn't say that I hate the one in question be it as a person or as a landmine. If I do, I'd be going into a bad end where I was charged with treason, and bad ends are super scary.

Miine: “Is that so? You looked extremely close to him. Are you perhaps going steady with him or some sort?”

Astrid: “I-I couldn't possibly in such a horrib—I mean, discourteous relationship.”

What a scary imagination this kid has! Seeing him having going steady with you is scary enough, and you're talking about him going steady with me? If I'm going steady with him then I'd be going on flank speed towards my bad end. I wouldn't want to go steady with him by any means.

Miine: “However, I think that Astrid-sama and his Majesty Friedrich is a very good match. I have heard that your talent decisively surpa.s.ses his Majesty's, so I think there are no better match for his Majesty than Astrid-sama.”

Astrid: “Nononono, that couldn't be. That couldn't possibly be.”

Come on, aren't you also one of the people who stomps on Astrid in the game as well, Miine-kun? Did you think I'd be charmed by that delicate man? I refuse.

Miine: “Then, do you have another person in your heart already, Astrid-sama?”

Astrid: “Hmm. I would say I like my private teacher.”

Miine: “Are you going out with that person?”

Astrid: “No, we have a 21-year age gap, so it's a bit…”

I like Wolf-sensei very much, but I never thought of him as a possible marriage candidate.

Miine: “So, that means you do not currently have anyone in your heart? Then by all means, please win his Highness Friedrich's heart. The two of you would be a splendid married couple in my opinion.”

Astrid: “I'll meet my end before I can be a married couple though…”

Such an insistent person, this Miine-kun.

Supposing Friedrich and I are in a romantic relationship, I would be nothing more than a teaser stallion until when the Heroine shows up, and she will take my position as Friedrich's lover. After that is the end of my household. Who would want to dream of such horrendous future.

Astrid: “H-how about you, Miine-san, do you have anyone in your heart?”

Miine: “Hawa! M-me? With all due respect, it is Adolf-sama that I adore. My elder brother is a member of the Chivalric Order, so I got to know him from there, and I think such openhearted person would definitely be the future captain of the Chivalric Order.”

That is such an innocent answer, Miine-kun.

But I don't think Adolf is such a capable person. His worries are surprisingly easy to solve, and if only he could settle his worries, he could move forward with great optimism.

Astrid: “Then I will support that love of yours.”

Miine: “M-mein Gott!! I am unworthy of your support…!”

Hmmm, does a duke's house have this much power?

Astrid: “Well, since we have conversed with each other, let us be friends, Miine-san. I won't mind if you simply call me Astrid.”

Miine: “N-no, I-I couldn't possibly be so discourteous! Please allow me to call you Astrid-sama! About your invitation to be your friend, please allow me to accept it. Despite my incompetence, please take care of me.”

Astrid: “Likewise, please take care of me.”

Miine-kun looks like like she's going through a marriage interview. Also, it's not like I'm going to eat her, so I'd be glad if she can talk to me normally.

???: “My, Miine-san, are you friends with Astrid-sama!?”

???(2): “I-I would like to get closer to Astrid-sama…”

As I finished our declaration of friendship, the two other people in the room said that.

Astrid: “Okay, okay. Let us all be friends. You all can just call me Astrid without reservation.”

“Oh I couldn't possibly be so disrespectful!”

“Please allow us to call you Astrid-sama!”

Somehow these people are unexpectedly distant. I wonder if I can make a friend that could call me by my name only. I'll be worried about it from today in the orientation camp…
