Life Of A Nobody - as a Villain

"System, for fuck sake, please tell me you have an explanation for all this fuckery. Cause if You don't tell me what's going on with Saisha, and what kind of dreams or thoughts she's having, I swear on my life I'll Billy Butcher your ass." Rio said in anger, losing his patience over system's silence.

[.....]

"Do not test my patience, system. I'll mute and lock you forever, and still survive in this shitty world. So speak up."

[I think she's having seizures.]

... ???

" Okay. That's it. You're so fucking blocked…"

[No wait, I'm serious. It's what we call memory seizures.] Seeing its host really getting angry and ready to block it, the system hurriedly tried to explain things in detail.

"Keep going."

[Memory seizures are like mental callbacks from your subconscious telling you about your past life.

After the death, a person's soul gets cleaned in the darkness and then sent to light when it's ready to reincarnate. So the cycle of rebirth keep going on and on until the last bit of energy in soul gets eaten by the darkness.]

"I know this bullshit, get to the point."

[Well,... How do i explain this…ahhh…deja vu..dreamwalking...astral zone..]

"You have no idea, do you?" Seeing the system just zoning on and off in thoughts, mumbling weird incomprehensible bullshit on repeat, Rio interrupted it and asked a question.

[What, of course I have an idea. It's simple, you heard nothing's ever perfect right, same is the case for this cosmic scale of life and death cycles. So in some very rare cases , you know, like one in a infinite years, a soul gets sent out after all the data on it gets deleted, but.. You know there's still a stache of cache left somewhere deep in folders, right. So…]

"Yeah, so the Almighty creator forgot to create a cache scanner, install a 360 cleaner and check the storage in settings… mother fucker, if you don't know anything, don't show off. Useless bitch." Rio said and cursed this bastard system and muted it's ass without saying anything else.

"It's probably ' That Being's ' fault. He's the only one who's been overly interested with my life. Sending souls left and right into arcadia to follow him." Rio said and cursed his luck for not knowing anything about him.

'Did he do this since I decided not to use the crystals?' He thought, but then shook his head, "But that's not right, if he wanted Saisha to remember these things herself, why would he give me her memory crystal."

And why isn't the case similar for Katherine or Amelia? They never had some 'feelings' or 'dreams' ?

"Fuck, why is shit always so complicated when it comes to her." Rio cursed and stopped thinking over these things as he reached the nursing rooms and heard Amy's laughter from inside. He just stood there and took a few deep breaths to calm his head down and then entered inside.

"Hey brother, come check this out, see…" As soon as he entered, Amy rushed at him and dragged him to Becca who was lying on the bed at front. She had her right hand's wrist wrapped in some white guaze, as while she was casting a spell during the match, Saisha used earth to bury her hand and interrupt her chant, causing three of her fingers to break due to her struggle and backlash.

It wasn't anything a single potion couldn't fix, but academy couldn't allow it for various reasons.

First, policy of self healing. (Too many potions can harm the body, so don't use them for smaller things.) Second, cost effectiveness, (Little injuries like this happens every day couple of times to everyone, it can be very pricey.

So unless it's something serious, let wounds be healed naturally.) Third, Natural healing is the best, it can improve your body and bones, while giving you time to rethink things so you don't make these mistakes again in next spar.

And something else, maybe, but wada nada bullshit, so they don't matter.

"What's that? Some kind of formation pattern or just doodles?" Rio said showing 'confusion' as he stared at the designs on Becca's hands.

But hearing his remark, Amy pinched his waist, and glared at him. "That's my masterpiece, you dimwit." she said, drawing a long random line on his shirt, "and this is doodling."

Rio shook his hand as he raised his hand and dusted his arm, removing all traces of ink and making his clothes clean and perfect again.

"Humph, I'll just leave you two guys alone." Seeing that her joke failed, Amy just pouted and left the room looking 'angry'.

Once they were both alone, they both just stared at each other, waiting for the other person to take the initiative to speak.

But seeing that Becca was just being Becca, Rio just shook his head and sat near her, and broke the silence. "Hey,"

"Hi,"

"Got beaten huh?"

"She was serious."

"You got serious at the end too."

"I was careless."

"Maybe..."

"What, you think I would've lost otherwise. I'm stronger than her."

"Maybe." Seeing that she didn't understand what he meant, and started feeling bad and angry, he just shushed her and clarified.

"You're stronger...But you lack experience, and the will the win."

Becca who smirked with pride hearing his first words, froze as he continued to add more later.

"You're too scared to attack openly, and too prideful to take advantage of others' distraction. Not to mention how you're always holding back, it's naive and idiotic.."

"You hold back too." Becca said, feeling a little aggrieved over being called an idiot.

"I hold back cause I know they can't handle it. And mainly cause they can't defeat me either way." Rio explained and fixed her hair, "You, my dear Becca, on the other hand, is just trying to be nice everywhere, and shit like that, would get you killed someday."

"It's not that serious, it was just a spar." Becca said and held his hand, "All I did was just ask why was she always using trees to attack, when nature also has means to control other things…"

"And then she used gravity and stones to break your fingers." Rio interrupted her and finished the sentence, "You see my point now."

His words made Becca to frown, as she just looked down dejectedly. "Look, I know being good is kind of your thing, but try to do that only when it doesn't come back to bite you in the ass, okay."

"This was just a lousy spar, no need for a lecture."

"A lousy spar where your loss gave wind to the rumors that the Schilla's princess isn't as good as that of the elves." Rio shook his head and slapped her hand, which was starting to tickle him, "I don't want to see you loose again, or getting hurt."

"Aww, worried were you?" Becca said, with a teasing smile. All her previous worries and grievances gone with that single sentence.

"Tsk, take some rest, I'll bring you lunch later." Seeing that his words had no effect anymore, Rio said something casually and turned around to leave.

Watching him stand up, Becca said with a smile, tugging at his hand. "Aren't you forgetting something?"

Rio looked at her smile and shook his head. He bent down and gave a kiss on her forehead, "Rest." He said seriously, before leaving Becca, who just frowned for a second seeing him running away without a proper kiss.

'Well, I better not lose next time.' She said in her heart, thinking a victory celebration should deserve a nice kiss on lips, than this little peck on forehead right.

'She's so high on love, it's almost affecting her brain now.' Looking at Becca's determined expression through the mirror, Rio sighed and said to his system.

[Happens to everyone, buddy. Remember yours.]

'Come on, I was shot, in my stomach, that's fucking more serious than a few broken fingers, you know.'

[Yeah, and you also got more serious rewards I remember. So pamper her too.]

'Tsk traitor.'

Cursing the system for taking her side, Rio just decided to ignore this mute traitor and walk back to his classes, when he bumped into someone while turning the corner.

"Sorry, my bad,..." He said knowing he didn't look ahead while walking, but stopped his words after seeing who it was standing in front of him.

Quinlan ...

'System, was this pedo, perving on my girl?'

[....?? .. Yupp. He was. T_totally. ]

'Okay, now I definitely gotta kill him.' Rio thought and met the gaze of professor, and without any magic or blessings, he could see the same thoughts of murder on his mind too.

There wasn't the killing intent or bs like that lingering in air, but just that glint of coldness in his snake like eyes was all the proof one needed.

'Guess the pedophile couldn't see me close to her and wanted to silence me too huh.' Rio thought and decided to speed up the plan to wipe this guy out.

Unaware, that his constant title names caused system to go into contemplation.

(Host, can stop saying other people pedophile, when you're mentally thrice the age of your girl, bro) system thought in its head, but dared not utter those words, lest it gets cursed and blocked for real.
