Taming The Villainesses - Chapter 27

(EP-27.1) Academy Spring Season #2

027 – Heart-Opening Academy Spring Season #2

“Have you checked everything? If so, check it all again.”

I ordered the workers to make a final inspection in order to ensure that nothing was missing.

Today was the first day of travelling to the Church’s lands.

If there was something missing, it would be difficult to find a replacement in that foreign land. Hence, the necessities must be closely monitored.

“Hey!”

Someone then smacked me on the back.

If I didn’t manage to hold myself up in time, I would’ve fallen. Turning my head around, I saw a blonde bun shining under the sunlight.

“Hey, Theo, why do you keep doing this? It’s almost time to leave.”

Elga’s blue eyes bore into me in an accusatory manner.

“… What is it Elga-nim?”

“I’ve already called you several times. In fact, for the past few days, you can’t seem to concentrate at all! You always look so anxious, like someone trying to hide something. Also….”

Elga seemed to have more to say. However, she decided to shut her mouth.

Speaking of which, did I actually look anxious?

Was it Elga’s intuition?

Well, I was indeed suffering from quite a few headaches.

It was me who made Aira go to the Academy to change the story. Yet, I felt that this would be the least of my problems now.

I simply couldn’t calm myself down after finding out that Theo Gospel was a descendant of the Demon King Angmar, and not just a minor villain character.

My legs kept trembling as I got dizzier and dizzier.

What if my identity was discovered?

No, let’s calm down for now.

If I became too paranoid, I wouldn’t be able to do anything.

「You have calmly judged the situation!

You have gained experience points through the talent 《Calm Thinking》.

All job experience +5」

Huuuu.

I cleared my mind and took a deep breath.

In order to solve multiple problems, you would need to set priorities and deal with them one by one, not all together.

“So, is Elga-nim okay with this?”

“Huh? What about me? It was just a little confession…”

“No, not that. I’m talking about entering the Ark Academy. Weren’t you skeptical of entering?”

“Ah, that… Of course I knew you were talking about that… Anyway, what’s wrong with it? It’s just a place where everyone lives, right? There might be some annoying punks, but-.”

Seureung-

Elga pulled out the giant halberd behind her back and lifted it high into the sky. How could she hold such a heavy thing so easily? It didn’t make any sense…

“It’s not like we won’t be able to handle it, right?”

“I guess so…”

Seuk-

While giving a half-hearted answer, I opened my slender eyes and activated my talent《Farsight》.

Name: Elga Von Lioness lv. ??

Job: Young Lady lv. 5

Executioner lv. 8

Knightess lv. 9

Strategist lv. 7

[Locked] lv. ?

Talent: 《Passionate Thinking》 《Free-Spirited》

Inclination: Chaotic-Neutral.

She is the eldest daughter of a great family whose fame could stop crying children.

She hates stuffiness and likes to get physically involved.

She often hears that she’s unlike a noble lady, and although it may not show on the surface, she secretly cares about it.

[Locked]

[Locked]

Quite a few of her information were locked.

Plus, there were question marks next to her overall level.

However, just by looking at the revealed parts, one could see how great Elga was.

The average level of her Executioner, Knightess and Strategist jobs were at least level 7 or 8.

“What, I feel weird all of a sudden…”

Seeing Elga’s frown, I decided to stop looking at her stats. Meanwhile, Elga hung her halberd behind her back again.

“So, when are we leaving? I’m dying of boredom here. Are there any Barbarians there? I feel like fighting some!”

She then jumped on a nearby horse and started circling around.

Seeing her riding the horse so skillfully, combined with the information I had just seen, I said.

“Your horse riding skills are top-tier, truly befitting of a noble lady!”

“Heh, isn’t this a matter of course for the eldest daughter of the Lioness Family?”

Elga snorted as if it was natural, but I was distracted by the new words floating in the air.

「You have successfully seduced your enemy!

Gained job experience for ‘Casanova’. + 5」

So Casanova was like this.

However, only 5 experience points came in.

Was the amount of experience gained different depending on performance or intensity?

I seriously considered saying something like “You are really beautiful today” to Elga.

But when a dark-haired woman started to approach from afar, with clear sounds of footsteps, I decided against it.

“The weather is nice.”

Queen Aira slowly emerged under the warm sunlight.

Her figure was so bright and dazzling that she wouldn’t lose out to the sunshine or the flowers around her. As she walked, spectators held their breath at this beautiful scene.

The surrounding sycophants then said to Aira.

“My Queen, you are so beautiful today. Hehe-“

“The spring sun and flowers lose their light in Aira-nim’s brilliance.”

“Heung-“

Aira simply snorted at the empty flatteries.

I also reflected on the fact that I was going to say something similar to Elga.

No matter how much I wanted to experiment with experience points, it was a little too much to say things like what I just thought….

Ttogak, ttogak.

Finally, Aira reached where her belongings were packed. As always, her gaze remained languid. She then turned her head and looked into my eyes.

“It’s been a while, Theo.”

“Yes, my Queen.”

“Are you done with all the problems you have to deal with? People said that you were busy because of the laws on monster rights and had to confine yourself in your office.”

“Yes, that’s correct. Thanks to that, I was unable to sleep for the past week and had to work all night.”

“I see. I thought you were avoiding me on purpose…”

Those words sent a chill down my back. To be honest, avoiding Aira was indeed one of the reasons.
(EP-27.2) Academy Spring Season #2

027 – Heart-Opening Academy Spring Season #2

Aira was the head of the Tarantera Family and the current Queen of Angmar.

I, on the other hand, was a descendant of the former dynasty. Basically, her direct opposition.

Fearing that she might notice my change, I decided to avoid her as much as possible. At least, until I managed to clear my mind.

Alas, the world simply wouldn’t work out the way you wanted it to.

The Queen’s black eyes peered into mine.

Her gaze seemed to pierce my very soul, and I had to fight the creeps that had sprouted in me.

Should I try using《Farsight》on her as well?

No, I wouldn’t dare to do so. Especially now that we were directly facing each other.

Both Elga and Marmar vaguely felt me looking into their stats.

Aira was a Rank 7 Archmage. She would definitely notice my probing!

Seueuk-

Aira’s hand then reached out towards me.

What? Did she actually notice!?

I clenched my neck in fear. Meanwhile, Aira took something from my hair and put it on my palm.

“There was a spider.”

It was a spider as small as a pinky fingernail. It must have been swept by the wind before landing on my hair.

“My sister said that finding a spider is a good sign. Anyway, let’s leave when you’re ready.”

At Aira’s instructions, the people began to move in unison. Soon, our stuffs got piled up on top of the old magic circle, which was situated in a corner of the Royal Palace.

Specifically, it was a five-layered hexagonal stone magic circle, engraved with complicated inscriptions. Its size went up to 20 pyeong.

[T/N: 1 pyeong =

3.306 square meters so 20 pyeong = 66.1157 square meters]

Putting her feet on it, Elga asked.

“Are you really saying that if we use this, it will take less than a day to reach the Holy Kingdom? There are so many strange magics… What is the principle behind this?”

Aira answered while scanning the magic circle with her hand.

“I don’t know the details since it’s a Mage King’s spell. However, it seems to be working fine.”

A strange noise began to sound from the magic circle.

“It’s pretty bright, so you better close your eyes. Once they open the connection and allow us entry, you’ll be in a completely different place.”

After saying so, Aira started to look around..

In front of her, a crowd of people gathered to bless the Queen’s journey, scattering petals to and fro. Their cheers kept getting louder.

What was Aira thinking right now?

━Long live Her Majesty!

━Long live the Angmar Kingdom!

The people’s voices resounded under the heavens.

Pat-!

Finally, a dazzling light overturned everything.

* * *

When I opened my eyes, I could see wide red-roofed buildings painted in white.

It was completely different from the architectural style of Monarch City in Angmar Kingdom, where the roofs boasted high spires. With that, I was able to quickly figure out where this place was.

“Is this the Holy Kingdom? We really are in a completely different place by the time we open our eyes!”

Despite saying so, Elga still couldn’t seem to believe what just happened.

Even for Elga, a resident of this world, the teleportation magic that she witnessed was something that didn’t make any sense.

I was also very surprised and couldn’t hide my admiration.

“Welcome!”

At this time, several people in white robes greeted us with open arms. They seemed to have been waiting for us.

“Welcome, distinguished guests from Angmar. The Holy Empire was expecting your arrival. Come, let us go inside.”

Apparently, they had been waiting in front of this magic circle for half a day upon hearing that we were coming as envoys.

“We’ll guide you. But first, please bring your belongings along. As for the rest of the luggage, will it come by carriage?”

I nodded at the white-robed old man.

“I think a few people will arrive with it in a week or so.”

“I see. Then, right this way.”

We were then led to a building that was built like a palace. No, rather than a palace, it was more like a large hall decorated with stained glass.

Actually, a temple would be an accurate description.

After all, this was a city that worshiped the God of Light and Salt.

Seuk-

I lifted my head towards the sky.

There was a huge, round object in my eyes.

It was a structure so huge that it reached the sky.

A huge hemisphere structure.

It was silver in color. I didn’t know if the outer part was covered with metal, but it looked like some kind of art hall or football stadium….

No. I had to correct myself.

That was an ark.

The Church’s Ark Facility.

The very facility used for nurturing and educating Champions.

I couldn’t believe I really brought Elga and Aira here.

This was a very different type of storyline from the original novel, making me feel both excitement and tension towards this new unknown.

However, my objectives were clear.

To revive the Angmar Family and avoid my enemies.

Perhaps there were answers out there that I just needed to look for? There might even be a way to solve this outlandish mess.

It seemed like it wouldn’t be too complicated as it was still in line with ‘survival’ that I had always planned.

But what did reviving a family mean?

Intuitively, it might be making the family name bask under the sun again….

It could also mean that since I was the only survivor of the family, I should get married and have a lot of children who would inherit the Angmar family name.

「You have calmly judged the situation! You have found the right path!

Now I knew how this System worked…
