A Destained Young Master Villain



As Zen was about to go, Hawkins voice sounded, prompting Zen to turn his head around.

"Zenryx Raverdieu, next time have a bit more self-control and inform others before you suddenly attack. Your fellow students got heavily injured as a result of your action earlier."

Zen nodded at his words, with Hawkin also nodding back and gesturing to him that that was all he had to say.

At this time, Edward's group was called, and they all started walking towards the arena's platform.

Zen, who saw this, raised his eyebrows, feeling interested in watching the mock battle of Edwards group.

"Why not? I am already here anyway; might as well."

In the end, he decided to go to the spectator stands to watch it, as he was curious about how much this protagonist has improved since he last encountered him back in the Mevouires territory.

As he and Xue went to find a seat, he caught a glimpse of a beautiful figure who was looking at them.

It was none other than Celestia who came to watch his mock battle with Hawkin.

Seeing her, Zen walked towards her, with Xue following behind him. Once they both arrived in front of Celestia, Zen greeted her before sitting beside her.

"Where were you guys?" Zen questioned curious about what they did while he was participating in the mock battle.

"Well, we handed in the corpses of all the beasts we hunted during the Twilight Exphidition. They calculated the amount of academy points that we should be given."

Hearing her words, Zen remembered back in the novel that there were indeed academy points. Which was used as currency in the academy.

"Hmm, so how many points did you get?"

"I was able to kill two tier beasts, each of which was worth thirty points, and with the rest of the beasts I hunted, it got me about seventy points."

"I also handed in the mana stones that were contained inside the beasts, as I did not need them. So in total, I got seventy five points."

"Just enough points for you to train in the gravitational room for seven hours, huh? Or you could half it and use the other points on the second floor of the library." 

Celestia was stunned after she heard what Zen just said. "How do you know about those areas? Isn't it your first time here in the academy?"

"You know everything can be found on the internet. What are you so surprised about?" Zen replied.

"Ah, ok, well, I do plan on doing that; Fiona did the same as you said, and she became much stronger after. Even I don't think I will be able to fight against her right now."

"Lucky for her, Stella Crellon gave her some points, and she was able to use those areas much earlier than us."

Just as both of them were having a conversation, Daphne and Fiona, who received Celestia's messages, finally arrived at the arena and saw them.

"Oh, you're back, Zen. So how was the mock battle?" Fiona inquired.

"It was quite fun, actually; I was able to get an understanding of what I am currently capable of."

"Fufu, Hear this; he made the professor release his suppression."

They continued to converse before Edwards groups finally started their fight with a professor.

"You girls, be quiet for a second; I want to watch that guy's match." Zen announced.

Hearing his words, the girls looked towards where Zen was looking and saw Crystal, the girl who came up to talk to them earlier.

They also saw someone who was fighting alongside her and had the same facial features as her. The girls speculated that he might be the Edward she mentioned, who was her brother.

And so they quickly quieted down and attentively watched the ongoing mock battle. They were also quite curious about how this guy caught Zen's attention and thought that he might be strong.

On the battle platform, it can be seen that Edward, Crystal, and Eliza, along with the other seven members, were doing quite well. They were managing to land a couple of attacks, but over all, it was the three of them carrying the whole match.

The girls who were with Zen were surprised; they were actually doing quite well, and they thought that Crystal and Eliza had the same strength as them. As for Edward, they thought that they might not be able to win against him if they were to fight him.

While they were all watching the battle, Zen suddenly spoke, saying one word that got the girls attention.

"Disappointing." He said and a pronounced sigh escaped out of him.

'I expected more from a protagonist. Really, that's it? I don't think he can even block a single sword of mine.' He stated inwardly.

After saying that, he stood up and started leaving the arena.

Confusion struck the girls, who did not know why Zen just said that and started leaving. 

"Hey Zen, wait up." Fiona called out to him, but before she could follow him, Zen stopped her.

"You girls, go do your own thing and don't bother me for now. I'll be going back to my dorm room."

"I just came back from a war, and after that, I had to come back to the academy and do all the tests without a break, so I want to go rest." 

Zen then went back to the dorm building, while the girls stayed back at the arena to watch the mock battles. Since they had nothing to do, they might as well stay and watch.

Just as Zen was about to enter his room, a systematic notification sounded in his mind.

"Huh? A system notification?" He swiftly entered his room to check it out.

[System Update 3.0 initiating...]

"Oh, the system is finally updating." Zen muttered, then he questioned, "Destiny, how long would the update take?"

▼🄳🄴🅂🅃🄸🄽🅈 🅂🅈🅂🅃🄴🄼▼

[Replying to the host, it would take approximately two weeks for the update to be completed.]

'The hell, why does it take so long to update? Ah, forget it; I'll just wait until then. The system will also probably just inform me of all the information regarding the new update once it finishes updating.'

Destiny, who could read his mind, spoke,

[Yes, the new information would be directly inserted into your mind.]

'I won't pass out like last time, right?'

[No, since your brain now possesses an ability that allows you to process information faster than a normal artificial intelligence.]

'Alright.'

Zen then went to shower, and after that, he decided to sleep for a while and just wake up tomorrow.

The start of the official classes would be in two days.
