Villain Is on Vacation

(This is one of second part of old chapters don't read it if you have already read it.)

During the past two months, numerous events have unfolded within the academy, causing noticeable changes in its atmosphere.

As the season transitioned from winter to spring, the entire campus seemed to come alive with new energy and vibrancy.

The budding trees and blooming flowers brought a sense of renewal and optimism to the student body and faculty alike.

Aside from the natural changes in the environment, the academy has seen various academic and social activities taking place.

Following Ken's victory over Ben in a duel, he gained widespread popularity among the students of the academy. His impressive performance was recorded and shared on various forums, quickly becoming viral.

Despite this newfound fame, several guild executives attempted to recruit him, but they were promptly turned away by Veronica at the academy's gate.

Ken had no intention of accepting their offers anyway, as he was focused on achieving his own goals within the academy's walls.

Unbeknownst to most, another duel had taken place during this time between Amy and James. In a surprise turn of events, Amy emerged as the victor, thoroughly defeating James in their match.

The following day, James was notably absent from class, leaving his classmates curious as to his whereabouts.

Only Eva, Ken, and Amy knew the reason for his absence, having witnessed the outcome of the secret duel between Amy and James.

After Rain talked with Ben, he began to distance himself from the Blood Supremacy Club. While Ken believed that his strategy had been successful, it was only a small factor in Ben's decision to leave the club.

It seemed that the Blood Supremacy Club no longer had any use for Ben, as they had stopped giving him the attention and support that he once received.

Despite this, they did not take any direct action against Ken, although he did face occasional challenges from individuals seeking to test his skills.

Some professors also attempted to provoke him by asking difficult questions or finding faults in his work, but their actions backfired when Veronica fined them for their abuse of authority.

With the help of Kevin, Ken established a group of commoner students to stand up against bullies, resulting in a significant decrease in incidents of bullying on campus. James also supported Ken in confronting and defeating arrogant individuals.

Although Eva and Amy were not able to provide as much support, they did what they could to assist Ken in his efforts.

Despite causing trouble for Ken at some times, Ben eventually realized that Ken was a genuinely kind person and not someone to be taken advantage of due to his perceived weakness. Ben thought maybe he can think about working hard more. Like that he also started joining Ken's group in evening training sometimes.

Ben's loyal minions remained by his side even after his defeat in the duel, which touched Ben and made him feel grateful.

Rain and Ben maintained regular communication, with Rain often seeking updates on the happenings within the academy and using their conversations as a way to break up the boredom of his daily routine.

During one such conversation, Rain learned that while many things within the academy followed the expected plotline, there were also some notable differences.

Ken's progress, for example, seemed to be advancing at an unexpectedly rapid pace, with his speed outpacing what Rain had previously anticipated.

Upon reflection, Rain realized that many of the obstacles that would typically hinder Ken's progress had been removed, allowing him to make impressive strides forward in his development.

Because Ben's conflict resolved peacefully and Rain away from the academy, Ken found himself with more time to devote to his training.

Perhaps even more importantly, he was not currently involved with any of the heroines at the academy.

Arya, for instance, seemed like a lost cause, and although Kaya and Emma had interacted with Ken during the past two months, their interactions had been limited to those of casual friends or acquaintances - there were no romantic entanglements.

Lily, meanwhile, was busy with her own work and had not crossed paths with Ken even once.

Only Eva and Amy's storylines seemed to be progressing, but their relationship with Ken remained strictly platonic, just friends.

Ken was free of trouble named 'Women.'

Overall, Ken found himself free of any romantic entanglements, which Rain saw as a positive development.

He knew that if the plot progressed quickly, he could soon gain more authority and new features could be added to the system.

Withhis plot progress already at around 4%, it seemed likely that new features will be added soon.

About these things aside, many other things also happened in Academy.

It seems that Rain's fan club has now created an official website, which has opened up membership to outsiders of the academy.

While Rain had mixed feelings about this development, he did not want to risk getting involved by hacking the website directly. Instead, he decided to leave a few bugs here and there, which slowed down the club's progress somewhat.

Club members were annoyed to death by this, however they couldn't do anything.

Because of this the notoriety of the 'Enemy' was rising tremendously.

Meanwhile, Rain's own popularity continued to grow. In the past two months alone, his followers on various social media platforms had surpassed 10 million. He even took advantage of his newfound fame by launching his own merchandise line.

Rain also started monitoring Arya's activities quite closely. Every time he read her diary, he cringed at the mistakes of his past self. Eventually, Rain decided to hack into her phone and crash her data. While he knew she might be able to restore some of the lost files, Rain felt satisfied that he had taken some action to protect himself.

Rain noticed another peculiar occurrence in the academy that surprised him.

Daisy Pacyfer, the villainess in the game, was not causing any trouble as expected. Initially, she interfered with Emma's activities, but it gradually decreased over time. Now, she rarely argued or taunted Emma.

Rain was curious about the reason behind this change, but he knew better than to get involved with Daisy's influential family. Thus, he refrained from meddling with the situation or hacking phones.

Meanwhile, Kaya was noticeably quieter than usual, dedicating most of her time to training, which led to her achieving the rank of C-ranker or C- in Rain's terms.

There was also no news about Emma, but Rain decided not to investigate further to avoid getting entangled with them. He didn't even want to do anything with them now.

Some things also happened outside of the academy.

After Rain's departure, news about him quickly spread throughout the city and even beyond.

People were curious about where he went and what he was up to. Many children of the high-class families even tried to imitate his actions, but their attempts often ended in failure, with parents quickly shutting down their children's in home and kicking their ass.

As Rain's fame grew, many theories emerged about his whereabouts. Some speculated that he had gone to the demon continent, while others believed he was hiding in a secret base of another race.

A guy even suggested that Rain had never left the Holmes Family's mansion and that the whole situation was just a publicity stunt or conspiracy. But that guy disappeared somewhere in a few days god knows where.

However, these rumors quickly died down as Rain's absence became more prolonged, and no one knew where he had disappeared to.

Despite the uncertainty surrounding Rain's whereabouts, his fans remained loyal, and his departure continued to make headlines in the media. People were eager to hear any news about him and were constantly speculating about what he might be doing.

Charles's potion-making business had taken off and quickly disrupted the market. With a small initial investment from the Rose family and his own money, Charles had managed to create a product that was in high demand and impossible to replicate.

He raked in huge profits from the venture, but when some of the elders from his family came knocking, hoping to cash in on the success, Charles turned them away empty-handed.

He remained true to his principles and refused to share the wealth with those who had not supported him in the beginning.

Despite his success, Charles never forgot about Rain and continued to send money to his account and reinvest the rest.

He had tried to reach out to Rain, but his messages were blocked, and he couldn't get through. He even tried reaching out from another account, but his message remained unread.

Charles had considered going public with his message on his live stream, but Carla stopped him, knowing that it would only embarrass Rain.

Instead, she had faith that Rain would eventually read the message and know that Charles was thinking of him.

Mark had become a competent butler and was fully involved in the management of the potion-making business.

He worked closely with Charles to ensure that everything was running smoothly.

Currently, Rain was browsing the Academy's forum when he came across a post that caught his attention.

The post revealed that the mid-term exams for the first-year students were coming up.

Looking at the information Rain knew something big will happen in this examination.

You can also say it might be one of the events in the Academy.

Because Blood Supremacy Club will get involved in this.

And for the first time, the evil organization will make an entry in the storyline.

'Things are going to become interesting.' Rain just smirked.

He was expecting something big this time.
