I, the Villain, Want to Save Myself, But the Yandere Heroines Disagree
Chapter 44 - "Friendly" Classmates

“Laina, you must know how to be polite first, then resort to force.” Time went back to yesterday. Orson was preparing Laina for her enrollment. “Because of your special race, coupled with the special time of enrollment, you will definitely be very conspicuous in the academy. When you encounter such a situation, do you know what to do?”

“What should I do?”

“Tomorrow, when you go up to the stage, first greet them politely, let them know you are easy to get along with, and then show a fearless attitude. In short, just say what I teach you next...”

After Orson finished speaking, Laina was startled.

“But, if I do that, won’t the classmates think I’m a very arrogant person?”

“In the hands of the weak, it is indeed arrogance, but Laina, you are different. When you do this, it is called confidence.” Orson patted Laina’s shoulder.

“Laina, you should have some confidence in yourself. As you are now, you are no less capable than anyone else at the Imperial Academy. On the contrary, even if they all came at you together, they might not be able to defeat you.”

After all, in this world, the strong are respected. Whoever has the bigger fist has the right to speak.

...

After Laina finished speaking, she confidently walked down the stage from the side and then sat in the seat behind Litte.

“How was it, Litte? Was my speech just now not bad?” Laina’s voice carried a hint of self-satisfaction, but Litte was not happy at all.

Wouldn’t that make her enemies with the entire class?

How exactly did Orson teach Laina? This was completely different from how he taught her.

“Um... Laina, if they ask you to spar later, please don’t include me.”

Litte said softly, turning her head back.

Having witnessed Laina’s terrifying strength, she did not want to be beaten until her bones felt like they were falling apart again.

“I know,” Laina nodded, then boredly opened her book.

...

On the other side, on the second floor.

After reading out the rankings of the final exams, Therese looked at Orson with a smile.

Without a doubt, as a second-year student, and even the top student of the Imperial Academy, Orson brought countless honors to their class.

“Next, let us welcome Student Orson, who ranked first in the academy’s assessment and won the honor of the best class for us, to come up and say a few words.”

Saying this, Therese proactively yielded the position.

All the students in the class looked at Orson.

Orson stood up and walked to the podium.

Touching his nose, he spoke, “Actually, I don’t have much to say. Everyone in class one of the second year is already very outstanding. Being able to win the best class is also thanks to everyone’s efforts.”

In short, after saying a series of platitudes, the students were satisfied, but not surprised.

Anyone could say such things, not just Orson.

“I also don’t want any of you to lower yourselves or say things like you are superior to others because of grades or other reasons. At the Imperial Academy, we are all equal students. There is no need for distinctions in status.”

Subsequently, Orson stepped down from the stage.

After the initial ceremonies at the start of the semester, each class entered its normal course schedule.

After class at noon, just as Orson was preparing to leave, Olivia beside him called out to him.

“Orson, do you have time to grab a bite to eat together later?”

“Uh...” Orson thought for a moment, then showed an apologetic expression.

“Apologies, Olivia. This is Laina’s first time at the Imperial Academy, so I need to look after her today. I might not have time to eat with you.”

“It’s alright,” Hearing Orson say this, Olivia didn’t show much disappointment. Instead, she calmly accepted it.

“Then I’ll go with you?”

“Mm... alright,” Orson considered for a moment, then nodded.

And so, when Litte’s and Laina’s class finished at noon, as the students from class one of the first year came out, they saw the Student Council President and Vice President standing at the entrance waiting for someone.

Indeed, that Laina was not simple at all.

However, Laina and Litte came out a little later.

It wasn’t until all the students had come out that Litte brought Laina to the entrance.

“Orson... apologies, we came out late...” Litte looked at Orson with a hint of apology. Then she saw Olivia beside Orson.

She instantly bristled a little.

The latter smiled and greeted Litte, then looked at Laina beside Litte.

“Oh my, you must be Laina, right? Orson mentioned you before,” Olivia said this, extending her hand towards Laina.

“Ah, yes,” Laina nodded, then carefully examined Olivia’s appearance. Based on Orson’s previous descriptions of her, a name quickly appeared in Laina’s mind.

“Sister Olivia, you are Sister Olivia, right?” Laina said this, showing a smile. “Brother Orson mentioned you to me in the desert before. Sister Olivia, you are indeed very beautiful!”

Hearing Laina speak so well, Olivia was also a little happy.

Indeed, people with whom she had no competition were easy to talk to, unlike a certain annoying younger sibling who still harbored certain thoughts towards his older brother.

Olivia glanced sideways at Litte, with a hint of smugness in her expression.

That expression was as if to say, “See? Even someone who has only known Orson for a short time knows who is the winner upon first sight.”

Litte could also feel the mocking tone in Olivia’s expression. She did not pay attention to this, but instead told Orson about what had happened after class today.

“Orson, after class today, quite a few students gave Laina their contact information.”

“Isn’t that a good thing?” Orson asked in return.

“No! They gave their contact information to ask Laina out for a spar later.”

“Isn’t that even better? Let Laina establish her authority in the first year through sparring,” Orson said this. “Are you perhaps worried, Litte, that Laina can’t defeat those guys?”

If it weren’t for considering Litte’s feelings, Orson would even have planned a scene where Laina sparred with Litte alone to establish Laina’s authority.

After all, Litte was the protagonist. For her older brother to choose to let her be embarrassed in front of everyone because he trusted a newcomer, that kind of scene would clearly lower her favorability. Orson would definitely not do that.

However, thinking of it this way, Laina’s background also resembled that of a protagonist.

Born in a small tribe, then by chance, under the guidance of a benefactor (Orson), she went to Limusa’s temple, discovered her opportunity, and fused with the Heart of All Beasts, becoming a potential demigod.

This growth story was also definitely that of a powerful female protagonist who rises to prominence...

Could it be that in this world, there are actually multiple protagonists?

“No!” Laina shook her head, then said, “I’m definitely not worried about that. I’m afraid if Laina accidentally injures or cripples them severely, what if they come after us...”
