Reborn As Villain's
Chapter 24: Business And Day One Part 1.

Beres is dealing with Dirk.

Dylan immediately approached Claudia and Helena who were now calmer than before.

"Are you guys okay?".

Dylan asked about their condition and the two replied with a nod of their heads as a sign they were okay.

"Haa.... Thank goodness then".

"A-cano....".

"We'll talk about that later.... We'd better get out of here because it's too dangerous".

The three decided to leave the place by utilizing the horse carriage that was still there.

Dylan decided to sit in the coachman's seat together with Helena, while Claudia sat inside the carriage.

"Ah, Dylan-san is right, right?.... Thank you for helping us save us".

"Hm.... Just relax.... After the disaster.... I'm glad you guys are okay".

Helena became the representative to thank Dylan who had come to help them.

"Again, my lady and I are very grateful for her help. And we must repay your kindness".

"Udah do not need..... I got involved because of my own carelessness.... And now I have to get you back to town before the curfew ends".

Dylan refuses Helena, who plans to avenge her actions that helped them.

"Thank you for escorting us to the city".

A few moments later Helena spoke again.

"I'm sorry it's a little late.... Let's go back to introduce ourselves..... I am the personal servant of Miss Claudia von Ritzburg. Helena Fallen's".

"My name is Dylan van Arcadia. Earl Arcadia's son, greetings Helena-san and Claudia-san".

After making a rather long journey, the three of them finally arrived at the Academy's Dormitory Princess.

"Heeee..... So, Claudia-san attended the Estonian Academy, huh?..... Just like me dong?".

Dylan pretended not to know so as not to arouse suspicion.

"Dylan did Mr Dylan go to school here too?".

Hearing that question Dylan answered honestly even though he was reluctant.

"Yes, I also go to school here".

"That's so.... What class are you in?".

"I'm in class S".

"It's incredible.... If Miss Claudia is in Class A..... Yeah, even though miss really wants to be in class S".

"Don't be too disappointed A class doesn't mean bad? I believe everyone has their own skills and place".

Dylan tried to comfort Claudia who looked disappointed to be in A-class. And it proved effective with Claudia who returned cheerful even though she was just silent while continuing to look at Dylan.

"Because it's night..... You guys better get some rest.... I'll go first, get some rest too..... Bye now".

Dylan immediately turned around leaving Helena and Claudia at the entrance of the Princess Dormitory.

"Once again.... We're very grateful, Mr. Dylan for his help".

Helena once again expressed her gratitude but Dylan kept walking away and just waved his hand.

"Although a bit rude. But he's very nice huh, miss?".

"Yes".

"Despite his appearance. He was very strong and unprivileged like most nobles?".

"Yes".

"It adds a plus in him".

"Yes".

Astonished by her monotonous reply, Helena immediately turned her head only to find Claudia looking straight at Dylan with her cheeks turning red.

Seeing that, Helena found an idea and smiled mischievously.

"May I kiss her, miss?".

"Yes".

"Then, I'll take it for myself".

"Yes, it doesn't matter....... Eh? Waitie? What's?......THAT CAN'T BE!!!!".

A moment later, Claudia seemed to regain her senses and frantically tried to deny her words.

Seeing the funny reaction of her Miss Helena starts laughing and Claudia gets even more panicked as Helena laughs at her.

"Haha.... Sorry, miss.... This is the first time I've seen you like this".

While wiping away her tears Helena spoke back and teased Claudia.

"Why, huh? Saved from danger by a man.... Then miss fell in love at first sight? It's a very cliche development".

"Bu-not like that..... It's just...".

"just?".

"..... I don't know why when I see it.... I'm feeling really nervous.... And it feels like my heart is beating really fast.... Then my body started to heat up".

(W-what? Miss, are you really serious?).

Claudia with a red face blushed to say what she felt when she first saw Dylan.

On the other hand, Helen could only be silent because she knew that she was experiencing something called "falling in love".

The unexpected development, which Claudia fell in love with Dylan, was not something she expected. All this he did was just sympathy.

(Anjir, how come I get goosebumps, huh?).

Unfortunately, this incident will complicate Dylan's steps in the future.

(-----------------)

Meanwhile, Dylan didn't really return to his dorm. Unless he goes to the Shadow Crow headquarters' Noir Bar.

When the pair met, Nameless immediately smiled widely.

"It's too late for a boy like you to go to a bar.... Dylan-kun's".

"Whispering, I know that too".

Without further ado Dylan immediately sat down on an empty seat near the bartender.

"So, do you have a certain "business" you want to offer?".

Nameless no-nonsense immediately asked what purpose Dylan had come to there. Without saying much Dylan gave a piece of paper.

Accept and read the writing on the paper. Somehow Nameless smiled widely and his eyes seemed to find soft prey.

"Heeee...... I know you must have brought an interesting "business..... All right, I'll take this".

Then, Nameless burned the paper with his fire magic and spoke again.

"I'll call you in about 7 days.... It's good to "do business" with you, Dylan-kun".

"The same goes with you, Nameless-san".

Not wasting any more time, Dylan who felt that his affairs had finished immediately went back to the Academy Dormitory.

I don't know what they're doing. However, it will be clear after Nameless informs Dylan.

(---------------)

The day after the test the participants of the prospective students of the Estonian Academy. More precisely, before the announcement of the test results.

Currently, the teachers are having discussions to determine who the students deserve to be in class D through class S.

After a very long and long discussion, they managed to determine who was in class D to class A.

The remaining 10 students who have been confirmed will enter class S. However, this has drawn some debate from some teachers.

"I can't accept this..... How can it be, this year's S class is only filled by poor noble children from the border..... Then, Princess Ritzia who entered class S and not Princess Vanessa..... Not to mention, the matter of the transfer student from Rachael Kingdom was also in the same class... What the fuck is all this?".

The teacher who opposed this decision was Nelson fou Valdes. He's an overweight old man, and very high end of the principle of "The Nobles are God's chosen people".

He was the type of person who really liked to demean others especially to ordinary people. Sometimes looking one eye, the poor nobles despite their high titles.

One more thing, she was in the second Princess Vanessa faction. Hence she was extremely dislikeful of the first Princess of Ritzia.

"uh? What are you talking about, Nelson?..... They were extraordinarily talented children, regardless of their status..... In fact, it was the Ritzia princess that everyone had always underestimated.... Can show more talent than Princess Vanessa..... And as for the Princess of Rachael Kingdom, what's wrong with placing her in S-Class, she also got a very satisfactory test result".

The teacher who opposed Nelson's opinion was Liara von Windhild. A beautiful woman with black hair cut Bob's model with glasses. He was one of the few nobles who held the principle of "The Nobles exist to protect and protect the common people".

Therefore, he insisted on challenging Nelson's opinion which was considered too selfish.

"I agree with the argument, Liara.... They are great kids who are able to stand on their own feet..... And never rely on or use their status..... And no more, who deserves to be in class S other than them".

The one who agreed with Liara's argument was Alexander von Geogrovic. A disheveled brunette man in charge of being the time supervisor of the battle test.

"Your sentiment is too much and too much for Nelson to hear...... Every child has the right to learn and breathe new life in this Academy.... And as teachers as well as adults, we have to let them".

Jason van Taylor's. The teacher in charge of the written test time of the prospective student participants. Also commenting on Nelson's selfish arguments.

For not accepting his argument denied Nelson sent a look of hatred especially to Jason who also did the same.

"This is no progress.... Because there was no result of this discussion, according to the rules of the Academy..... Now, we're gonna vote".

The assistant chief of the Academy who saw this discussion find a dead end suggested voting.

The upshot.

5 Teachers agreed that the students were in class S. They were Alexander von Geogrovic, Frey de Highland, Olga Marie Annimusufia, Liara von Windhild and Jason von Taylor.

And

5 Teachers expressed disagreement that the students were in class S. They were Nelson and his four fellow teachers who were actually in the same faction.

Because the voting results are balanced. The decision is to reject them all.

"5 agree and 5 refuse....... Hehehe, the matter is set.... Even considering the poor nobles getting into the elite Academy like this.... That doesn't make any sense".

Seeing Nelson's mocking smile made Alexander, Jason, Olga and Liara very upset.

"Hey, old man Obesity..... Here, there's still one more person's opinion that we all have to hear".

"What's?".

Another person who answered and mocked Nelson's appearance was a navy blue-haired man named Frey d Highland. He was one of the teachers who agreed with the arguments of Liara and Alexander

Although from earlier, Frey only played around with his seat and did not pay attention to the meeting since it started until now. He gave an argument that shocked everyone.

Frey then glanced at the head of the Academy sitting among the other teachers.

"Academy Head.... Can we hear your opinion, Mr. Leon.

"Woi, Delinquent.... Don't tell the Academy----".

"uh? What are you gonna do? Pak old Obesity..... I'm just asking for the opinion of the head of the Academy, that's all...... After all, the results of this vote are useless if in the end he makes the decision".

Frey immediately gave off an aura of intimidation that instantly made Nelson unable to dwell.

Leon Sera Belmont was a yellow-haired man with a calm expression he was a former Chivalric Order of the Ingrid Kingdom. He is currently the head of the Estonian Academy.

From the moment the meeting began, Leon just fell silent while continuing to stare at the profile of a student. And that profile belongs to Dylan. His eyes were also focused on the name of Dylan's parents listed there. Hyoga van Arcadia.

Reading the name Leon began to sink into his mind.

("The Sword of Ice and Light", yes....... It's been a long time since I've heard your name called Hyoga.... Fuck you whining..... You never told me you were married to Pavline and had a son).

Leon thought back to the past.

Long ago during her time in the Chivalric Order, in addition to being friends with Rufus and Verna she was also close friends with Hyoga. You could even say they are friends and Rival at the same time.

The two, always competing, honing each other's skills, to outperform the other.

There is even one very famous story, where at that time Hyoga and Leon once repulsed 500 soldiers of the Strost Kingdom without reinforcements.

But, one day Hyoga said that he would exit the Chivalric Order, discard the title of "Strade Master of Ice and Light" then return to Arcadia to administer the territory.

As a rival of course Leon strongly considers Hyoga's decision. But, as a friend. He tried to accept it with a chest.

After that brief memory, Leon once breathed a long breath and began to talk about his decision.

"Well, decision.......".
