I, the Villain, Want to Save Myself, But the Yandere Heroines Disagree
Chapter 38 - Not Her

The cold winter was about to pass, and spring was approaching.

The new semester at the Imperial Academy was also about to begin.

Orson arrived in Saint Roland City two days early with Litte and Laina.

The purpose was, of course, to help Laina with the Imperial Academy’s enrollment procedures.

“Orson, you came to school so early, and you specifically came to see me. There must be something you want me to help you with, right?” In the headmaster’s office, Luca sat at his desk, looking at Orson sitting on the sofa, and said with a smile.

“I can’t hide anything from you, Headmaster,” Orson smiled awkwardly, then spoke, “It’s like this, Headmaster. I have a relatively important matter that I would like to discuss with you.”

“Oh?” Hearing Orson say this, Luca became interested. He leaned forward, then asked, “Tell me, Orson?”

“Has the academy ever had a precedent of demi-humans enrolling before?”

“No,” Luca shook his head. “The demi-human race is quite special. They are caught in the middle of discrimination from both humans and beastmen. Demi-humans do not have access to good education. Their innate aptitude and talent may be close to humans, but due to the small size of their population and reasons like discrimination, no demi-humans have been able to meet the admission standards of the Imperial Academy. Even if they could, they wouldn’t be considered...”

“Then, has the Imperial Academy ever had a precedent of mid-academic year transfers?”

“It seems not,” Luca shook his head. “The Imperial Academy’s enrollment period is in the latter half of the year. Although there is no explicit rule prohibiting transfers in the middle of the academic year, it is clear that the Imperial Academy, which has the best student source in the Empire, does not need students transferring from other academies.”

“Then, the person I am about to tell you about, Headmaster, you can consider whether an exception can be made for her.”

Saying this, Orson introduced Laina to Luca.

“This girl, by the age of the demi-humans, should already be an adult this year. Her specific age is probably not more than twenty.”

“And then?” Luca continued to ask.

After all, based on the information about her so far, she really didn’t have anything that would attract the Imperial Academy.

It was impossible to grant her this special favor just because of Orson’s connection.

“For some reason, the other party’s physique is quite special. Her current combat power, purely in terms of strength, has already reached the level of human Tier 8 or even higher.”

“This is a talent with potential. I believe that at the Imperial Academy, we can help her grow faster. At the same time, she can also serve as a representative to ease the relationship between humans and demi-humans. After all, Headmaster Luca, you should already know the situation of the beastmen. With the beastmen almost extinct, there is truly no great animosity between the demi-humans and humans. The two races are in need of an excellent demi-human who has received human education to serve as a link.”

Upon hearing Orson’s evaluation of Laina’s strength, Luca’s eyes widened in surprise.

“Orson, is what you said true? Does the other party really have Tier 8 or even higher strength?”

“It’s purely strength. The other party doesn’t know how to use this strength. That’s why I had this idea. This way, for the Imperial Academy, it can also be a golden signboard, can’t it?”

“You... Orson, your idea is good, but I still need to discuss it with the Academy Council. If the Council also agrees, it is not impossible to make an exception for her.”

“Tomorrow is the day before school starts. The Council happens to have a regular meeting. I will mention it to them at the meeting.”

“Alright,” Orson heard Luca say this, stood up, and bowed to him.

“Then, I will await your good news, Headmaster Luca.” After finishing speaking, Orson left the headmaster’s office.

“Tier 8... even higher...” After Orson left, Luca murmured to himself.

Orson was not someone who liked to lie. He should also know what the consequences would be if he lied about this.

However, the sudden appearance of such a strong individual among demi-humans was still a little beyond Luca’s imagination.

It wasn’t that there were no demi-humans with high combat power. Luca was knowledgeable and had certainly met many capable demi-humans, but most of these demi-humans had achieved their strength through years of hard work in society.

As Orson said, the other party’s age was probably similar to Orson’s. A genius of this age, even among humans, would be quite explosive.

“Sigh, I hope what you said is true, Orson,” Luca said this, sighing.

On the other side, Orson returned to the hotel.

This time, he was still staying at the Starry Sky Hotel, where he had stayed when he first brought Litte to Saint Roland City.

However, this time there was no situation where there was only one double room. Orson booked separate single rooms for all three of them.

Of course, they only stayed in the single rooms at night when sleeping. During the day, they would gather in Orson’s room.

There was no need to worry about the space being too small. After all, it was a place specifically for wealthy people and nobles to stay. Even the single rooms here were quite spacious.

Upon returning to his room, Orson saw Litte and Laina reading together.

“Orson, you’re back?” Litte heard the sound of the door opening and quickly turned her head.

“Mm,” Orson nodded.

“How did Laina’s enrollment application turn out?”

“It went pretty smoothly,” Orson said this, sitting down on the chair.

“I discussed this with Headmaster Luca, and he promised me he would mention it at the Council meeting tomorrow and try his best to get it approved for me. However, it will likely be accepted.”

After all, in this era, strength was respected.

If Laina’s Tier 8 strength was known, let alone enrolling as a student, it was entirely possible for her to become a teacher.

Of course, Orson had not revealed the matter of her demigod power. Otherwise, it might have been even more explosive.

However, if he were to reveal the matter of her demigod power, it might instead cause Laina to be targeted by people with malicious intentions. To protect Laina, Orson had only concealed it by saying she had a “special physique.”

“Big brother, let’s go explore Saint Roland City?” At this moment, Laina also jumped down from her seat and came to Orson’s side.

“People in Saint Roland City don’t seem to have as much ill will towards my race.”

Thinking about it, it made sense. Humans and demi-humans didn’t have any long-standing animosity. It was just a matter of hating the house because of the dog.

Humans who had suffered from the beastmen’s disasters would, of course, also discriminate against demi-humans. However, humans who had not suffered from the disasters, their attitude towards demi-humans was at most indifference, not reaching the point of discrimination.

And the people who lived in Saint Roland City themselves didn’t even care much about beastmen, let alone mere demi-humans.

“Uh, let’s skip that for now. Didn’t I just take you around a part of it this morning?” Orson said this, suddenly remembering something. Then, he stood up from the chair.

“By the way, I just remembered I have something to take care of. Litte, you stay here and look after Laina. I’ll probably be back by evening.”

Saying this, Orson went to a double room upstairs and lightly knocked on the door.

Immediately afterward, the door quickly opened, and a hand swiftly reached out and pulled Orson in.

As soon as Orson entered the room, he saw Olivia sitting at the table drinking tea, and Lianca, who had pulled him into the room and was standing before him glaring angrily.

“Orson, you big scoundrel!” Lianca said this, as if she was venting her sister’s anger through herself, and punched Orson in the chest a few times.

“Lianca, I’m wrong, I’m wrong, stop hitting me! You’ve misunderstood!”

“Misunderstood?! Misunderstood what! I saw you and Litte taking a demi-human girl shopping with my own eyes this morning! How are you going to explain?! Are you going to say that girl is someone you were going to introduce to Litte?”

“That’s right!” Orson nodded.

Lianca was so smart. She had said everything he was going to say.

“Then why were Litte and she on either side of you the whole time? If you were introducing her to Litte, shouldn’t you have had the two of them walk together?”

“That’s because they weren’t familiar with each other yet,” Orson said this, speaking helplessly.

“Alright, Lianca, let Orson come over,” At this moment, Olivia, who was sitting at the table, also spoke.

“Hmph,” Lianca snorted coldly but did as she was told.

Orson sat down beside Olivia.

“Olivia, listen to me. Laina and I don’t have that kind of relationship.”

“I know,” Olivia took a sip of tea, then nodded. “But I was honestly a little worried. What if you did have a preference for demi-humans, Orson? It’s not like I can just put on beast ears and a tail...”

Whether Olivia said this intentionally or unintentionally, the image of a beast-eared Olivia suddenly appeared before Orson’s eyes, and his face flushed slightly.

Olivia glanced at Orson, noticed the change in Orson’s expression, and chuckled softly.

“It seems you really like that, Orson?”

“No, no, Olivia, you’re overthinking it,” Saying this, Orson said seriously, “Actually, Laina and I met in the desert.”

Saying this, he recounted all his experiences in the desert and the various things that happened when he met Laina to Olivia.

After hearing all of this, Olivia expressed understanding, but Lianca still looked at him with suspicion.

“Orson, are you sure nothing at all happened between you and that Laina in an environment like the desert, with just the two of you, a man and a woman?”

Looking at Lianca’s suspicious expression, Orson sighed.

Your sister Olivia isn’t saying anything, what are you worrying about here?

Moreover, truly nothing had happened between him and Laina.

At this moment, Olivia said to Lianca, “By the way, Lianca, I suddenly remembered I left something at a trading company and didn’t bring it. Could you help me go and get it? Thank you.”

Hearing Olivia’s words, which clearly meant she wanted to get rid of her, Lianca didn’t say much. After asking for the address of the trading company, she left.

At this moment, only Orson and Olivia were left in the room.

“Orson, did nothing really happen between you two?” At this moment, Olivia suddenly put her arms around Orson’s neck. The two were very close, and could feel each other’s breath.

“Nothing... nothing happened,” Orson said this, his face slightly red.

He was just about to turn his head away, but was forcefully turned back by Olivia, who was looking him in the eyes.

“I wasn’t talking about you and Laina. I meant someone else.”
