I, the Villain, Want to Save Myself, But the Yandere Heroines Disagree
Chapter 43 - So Arrogant?

The next day, the start of the Imperial Academy’s semester arrived.

Orson took Litte and Laina and entered the Imperial Academy early in the morning.

Students of the Imperial Academy who passed by proactively greeted their Student Council President.

After the war against the beastmen at the end of the last semester, Orson’s reputation throughout the entire Imperial Academy could be said to be unparalleled.

He was temporarily appointed as the commander of the allied forces, and then, with exceptionally brilliant strategic thinking, achieved the best record against the beastmen in the Empire in nearly a hundred years.

Orson’s combat power alone already made him an excellent military talent. His performance against the beastmen also demonstrated extremely outstanding command abilities.

However, the rumors circulating among the upper class about the order of succession in the Antica Duchy pushed the discussion about the relationship between Orson and Litte to a peak.

After all, many nobles attended the banquet at that time. Word spread from ten to a hundred, and not only among the upper class, but even commoners knew that the Empire’s youngest genius noble could not inherit the ducal title.

Most people thought the reason was still bloodline.

After all, Litte was Lucius’s biological child, while Orson was not. Among nobles who highly valued bloodline, this inheritance was not problematic.

Another group of people rumored that Litte, after entering the upper class, had, in a very short time, charmed Lucius, causing Lucius to pass the position of heir to Litte, and Orson, indebted to Lucius for raising him, had no objection.

However, there was no doubt that although Orson’s reputation was higher than before, his influence was instead less than before.

After all, Orson’s future was still unclear, but Litte was someone who was genuinely going to inherit the duchy.

Because of this, among the nobles originally associated with the Antica Duchy, some who had attached themselves to Orson, upon seeing that Orson could not inherit the ducal title, immediately re-established connections with Litte.

Regarding their fickle behavior, Litte had approached Orson, and Orson had simply told Litte to accept their so-called allegiance.

As the students entering the academy greeted Orson, they also saw the new face beside Orson.

Most people were surprised by the other party’s features.

A demi-human.

Yes, after enrolling, Laina did not choose to conceal her racial features like Aphro did. Instead, she openly displayed her ears and tail to outsiders.

This was not only Laina’s own wish, but Orson also advised Laina to do so.

The future Empire was bound to be diverse. If even a strong person like Laina needed to conceal her racial features, then what was the point of talking about diversity?

Towards Laina’s appearance, many Imperial Academy students showed surprise, followed by a division into curiosity and discrimination.

“Laina, later you go to the classroom with Litte. Your teacher should introduce herself to you in advance.”

“I know!” Laina nodded, then parted ways with Orson at the teaching building entrance, and followed Litte to her classroom.

And as Orson turned to go upstairs, a fragrant scent wafted past, and a pair of hands inexplicably linked onto him.

“Orson, what are you doing?”

Olivia’s slightly languid voice came from beside him.

At the same time, the gazes of the surrounding students also converged.

“Look, look, the rumors are indeed true.”

“Are Senior Orson and Senior Olivia really in that kind of relationship...”

“Wow, how envious...”

“They are truly a perfect match...”

Listening to the whispers of the surrounding students, even Orson felt a little awkward at this moment.

But after all, it was Olivia. Orson could only respond with a smile.

“I just took Litte and Laina to the classroom. Now I’m going to class.”

“Then let’s go together~”

After speaking, the two of them walked upstairs just like that.

Leaving behind a trail of envious gazes and whispers.

On the other side, Litte brought Laina to the classroom.

Hecatia was already sitting at the podium waiting. Seeing the two walk in through the door, she quickly stood up.

“Litte, this person beside you is the new student, Laina, right?”

“Mm,” Litte nodded.

“Hello, Teacher Hecatia. I am Laina. This is my first time enrolling. Please guide me!” Laina, who had done her homework, said politely.

“...” Feeling the approachable sensation emanating from Laina, the somewhat gloomy Hecatia got goosebumps, but still spoke, “Please guide me in the future. From now on, you are a student in first-year class one. For now, please sit behind Litte’s seat. The classroom is quite large anyway.”

“Alright,” Hearing Hecatia’s words, Laina followed Litte and found her seat.

After all the students had arrived, Hecatia formally spoke:

“Um, everyone, good morning. The new semester is about to begin. Here, I will first introduce the new student in our class.”

“New student?” Some people spoke in confusion.

“When did our academy have such a system?”

“Wait a minute, could it be that demi-human in the back?”

“Are you kidding me? It’s actually a demi-human?”

The students below began to whisper among themselves.

After all, in their impression, the Imperial Academy had never had a system of transfer students enrolling mid-semester.

“Cough, cough, quiet down!” Hecatia naturally also heard the whispers below and quickly cleared her throat, then loudly reprimanded those students.

“In any case, Laina, please come up and introduce yourself.”

“Alright,” Laina nodded, then walked up to the stage with a forced smile.

She had also heard the students’ discussions just now.

Clearly, she could hear some unpleasant words, but Orson had taught her that in this kind of situation, she should use full etiquette to make these people feel ashamed.

“Hello everyone, I am Laina. I am from the desert. As you can see, I am a demi-human. Um... As for the reason I came to the Imperial Academy... Big brother Orson recommended me.”

“So it’s someone with connections...”

“Recommended by Senior Orson, no wonder...”

“But why would Senior Orson recommend a demi-human?”

“I don’t know either. Could it be that the two of them are actually in that kind of relationship...”

“That’s unlikely, right?”

“Didn’t I just say to be quiet!” At this moment, Hecatia finally couldn’t help but lose her temper.

The students below then fell silent.

“Apologies, Student Laina. Please continue.”

“It’s alright,” Laina smiled, then continued, “My hobbies are traveling and experiencing new things. I hope to meet many like-minded companions at the Imperial Academy.”

“And, you might be more curious about how I passed the Imperial Academy’s test. Big brother Orson told me that if anyone in class one wants to spar with me, it’s alright to come at me all at once, because even then, you might not be able to defeat me.”

Hearing this sentence, the students below were all stunned.

Seriously, on her first day, she’s this arrogant? Who taught her to speak like this?
