The Villainess Carries a Strategy Guide – Chapter 48

Chapter 48

Finally, the spring competition is about to begin. The waiting room becomes increasingly quiet and instead, tension rises in its place.

[Spring] is a competition where all students are simultaneously transferred to somewhere in the academy and compete to reach the hidden goal using clues.

Each student is only allowed to bring one tool, and counting their partner Phantom Beast, so I can’t bring my favorite short sword.

“Well then, Emilia, Melinda, see you later.”

“Both of you, let’s not hold any grudges when we meet again.”

“That’s what I hope! Let’s meet at the goal!”

Finally, a magic circle that emits a strong light rises at our feet. The strong wind from below makes my school uniform’s blue one-piece dress flutter. I hugged little Christina so she wouldn’t be blown away.

Wrapped in a nostalgic feeling of floating, we scattered.

I have a feeling of my feet touching the ground and immediately open my eyes. I quickly check my surroundings.

At that moment, twenty-eight students including me, recognized each other’s presence.

“-———?!”

Almost reflexively, I shoot attack magic in all directions.

Just like me, some reacted and others didn’t, and twenty-eight quickly decreased to half.

Among the vast grounds, the “first school building square” is famous for being the location where many students are first transferred.

In other words, it will become a fiercely contested area from the start.

I am right in the middle of it.

Attacking magic flies around in all directions. I dodge the ones coming at me, and counter with new attacks.

If I let my guard down for even a moment, I’ll be hit and it’ll be game over. My luck couldn’t be worse!

“[Top strong] Duke Slutarch’s daughter, I see you! This will be a good test of skill for me——”

“Christina, please!”

When I call out, Phantom Beast Christina responds by being wrapped in a dazzling light. Her body swells and Christina transforms into a white dragon.

Then she wildly swings her giant tail.

“Gueh!”

The student from before is sent flying with a sound like a frog being squished.

All the students have been protected by the principal’s defensive magic, so even if they’re attacked, they’ll only be disqualified and won’t be hurt.

“Christina, you can’t stay here! We have to go find the new student who’s under the [hint spell].”

“Kyuu, shuu!”

“Oh, they’re close by!”

The [Hint magic] is randomly applied to some of the new students, and the person who knocks that human out of the battle will be the only one to get a hint.

“We have to go before someone else gets them——”

I scanned the area with my eyes, at that moment.

BOOM!

The loud noise made my ears ring. The ground shook slightly and the blast pushed me back. Everyone in the area was unconscious for a few seconds.

I took advantage of the opportunity to stop my attack spell and put my hand on Christina’s shoulder. We quickly flew off and left the first school building plaza.

After confirming that the students looking up at us were getting further away, I looked at the faraway forest that was emitting black smoke and flames.

“Oh, my God, Emilia.”

The cause of the explosion was probably her. She was probably happily releasing her Phantom Beast Kyuubi’s Explosion spell.

She was probably kicking around the Five High’s students who were gathering around and shouting “Shoot!”

As I imagined the scene and couldn’t help but smile, Christina suddenly dropped in altitude and caught sight of the new students.

I looked at the ground through the gaps in my hair that was being blown around by the strong wind.

A male student, moving from the school buildings towards the dormitory direction. His legs are incredibly fast.

He was tall and had dark blue hair.

“…Ah,”

I let out a voice without realizing. His presence through Christina’s magic was very similar to that of someone I knew very well.

——Maybe it’s him.

I decided to confidently approach that male student from the front.

He turned around halfway, scowled, and stopped.

“Good afternoon.”

I gracefully got off before him. The male student let out a deep sigh, as if from the bottom of his stomach.

“…Hey. Being found by [Slutarch’s Jewel] all of a sudden is unexpected… But don’t underestimate me, I’m famous for my running skills.”

He talks a lot, but doesn’t take his eyes off of me. He seems impolite but in reality, he’s not negligent at all.

I opened my mouth while being impressed in my heart.

“I want a hint, but I won’t fight. If you let me investigate the magic cast on you, I can find another way to get a hint. And that way, you can get a hint yourself.”

“Haha, do you think I’ll trust you?”

He raised the corner of his mouth. Even if he doesn’t believe, this story is true.

Hint people are basically fate to be chased by other students and become unable to fight, but there is actually another way to get hints.

As last year was [Seeing in the Dark], the contents change every year, so you will have to actually check it out to find out what it is.

What to do.

While thinking, I put my hand on my chin and turned my gaze back to him. He smiled confidently and didn’t look away.

His hands are in his pockets, his shirt is open to the third button, and his earrings are swinging in both ears.

“Yes, Marc-sama.”

The first words that break that composure.

His eyes round. ————It was a hit.

“Nice to meet you, Brian Marc-sama. I am familiar with your elder sister as we have had drinks together.”

He is Brian Marc, the younger brother of the god of battle Olivier, and the son of the Knight Commander.

And the target of the strategy of “otome game”.
