Chapter 16: Reijis Missfortune
"Now, has't thee understand the consequences of disobeying me?"
Reiji's eyes have lost their arrogance, terror sucked every breath from his mouth. He obediently nods at the mysterious figure in front of him.
" This would be easier if thee has't been liketh this from the starteth, now listen to me."
The mysterious figure takes a deep breath and started to spoke in a forceful tone.
"I have been pretty impressed with thy display of depravity last week. This test of mine will fully determine if you deserved to be my successor or not. You would have to replicate your last wicked act and made it known through the world as a sign of my coming."
Reiji was confused at the mysterious man's word. He was a son of a gangster, but it didn't mean that he has done many bad deeds to society other than acting arrogant.
Instead, he was a type of kind gangster that wouldn't resort to violence if it was not needed. In fact, he has been threatening Skye last week, but he hasn't done anything outrageous other than harassing and spreading rumors about Skye.
Thinking about that annoying Skye, Reiji's face suddenly paled and he felt goosebumps on his spines.
" Sir, that wicked act, do you mean it was that thing…"
Reiji felt indignant at the thought of doing that, but he was still fearful at the man in front of him. He could only hope that he was wrong and he wouldn't taste that event anymore.
" Impudent!!! This sir has taken interest in thee, and thee still dare to question this Sir?"
Ray raised his tone, and act like he was angry. He would naturally strike the pot when it is hot and maximize the still fearful Reiji to his advantage.
The forceful remark from the mysterious man froze Reiji in the spot. He was petrified at the flow of the event.
" Now, this sir has enough with thee. This sir will give you 3 days to fulfill this Sir test, and after that, this sir will contact thee to give thee thy next test."
With everything being said, Ray moves closer toward Reiji and sneakily hits his head with the mind-collapsing brick.
Ray then proceeds to untie Reiji and move him back to the place he was before, but not before leaving a note in his pocket to make sure he believes the encounter was real.
"Hehehe, presently everything has gone like the plan. Now I could only wait until Reiji slowly breakdown and continue to the next plan."
[ … ]
" What is it Aina, I noticed that you were pretty quiet this time."
[ No host. Except for the sketchy first part, now Aina believes that you were more suitable to be reincarnated as a villain instead of a mob.]
"……, I'll just treat them as praise."……
The next day after school
Ray casually picked up his belonging and was ready to go home. The day was no different than any other usual day, and he doesn't really have friends to hang out with after school.
From the start, he was been an individual person since the old Ray was too disgusting, and not many people wanted to befriend him. Currently, he was the exact opposite of the old Ray and many classmates want to know him better, but he was pretty busy with study and Rena these days, so he hasn't done anything regarding the loner part.
He was waiting for Reiji to take action, however, he gives him a 3 day lenient so it seems that Reiji wouldn't take any action until the last day.
Ray said goodbye to Rena and went home. However, today he somewhat has an uneasy feeling. Everything should be going as planned but he has this lingering feeling from this morning.
He decided to not take the bus and walked around the city for a bit. Everything was way too calm and now he felt that he would regret it if he disregards this feeling.
15 minutes later, he saw the beautiful student council president, Emi Eleanore.
The beautiful-looking student council president was walking side by side with an average-looking boy who emits a strange charm.
'Hoo, it seems my feelings were true. If I ignore my guts, I would surely regret it tomorrow as Skye would have been much closer to Emi.'
The average-looking boy was the main protagonist, Skye Meyer. From their interaction, Ray could conclude that the two of them weren't pretty close and Emi still kept her distance. It seems that Emi was by some means in trouble before and Skye has provided some help.
If the progression of the plot was not wrong, now Emi should have to invite Skye for a dinner, and they would soon be harassed by street thugs. This is a chance for Skye to show his charm to Emi, and Emi would felt a safe feeling from Skye that resulted in her started to develops some feelings toward him.
How typical of a brain-dead author
Ray sighed at the cliche of the plot, even so, he has more important things to do now. He can't let the event progress smoothly and if possible, ruin Emi's impression of Skye.
[ DING!!! A new mission has been issued to the host.]
[ Interrupt the main protagonist event and Prevent Emi Eleanore from falling in love with him.]
[ Progress: 0/100 ]
[ Rewards: Villain halo +10, Protagonist halo +10, Skye's protagonist halo -50]
[ Penalty: You would have to join Reiji and Skye on their act.].
'What the heck is the penalty, but it was really timely. All I need to do is to do this well and I won't need to participate in that gruesome thing."
Ray put up the invisibility cap and quickly follow Skye and Emi.
The two went toward a small restaurant, but just when they were about to reach it. A voice came out from behind.
"Hehehehe beautiful lady, why don't you leave this hairless brat and follow us. We will provide you with a brand new experience and you will definitely love it."
