I’m Really Not Trying to Be Chased by the Heroine as the Villainous Playboy! – Chapter 185

Chapter 38: Deadly Laughter

In an inconspicuous corner outside the cafeteria, a small-built boy was hiding, peering at the throngs of people at the door, when suddenly, a cute shout rang in his ear.

“Wow~!”

“I’m out of here!”

The boy jumped, turning around to see the grinning green-haired girl, looking like he’d seen a ghost.

“You, you’re not…”

“Not from eating laxatives while my stomach’s in knots? Ugh, how could they feed such stuff to a beautiful girl? So tasteless,” Nia sighed, rolling her eyes in disdain.

“Impossible! I saw you drink it!”

“Kid, some people can turn impossibilities into realities,” Nia said, striking a pose with her hand on her hip, her nose almost in the air with pride.

All Extraordinary Beings from elven bloodlines have resistance-related abilities, and the Forest Elf is a standout; her Immunity allows Nia to drink poison like it’s water, so a spoonful of laxative? No biggie!

Not only that, her Wind Listening ability let her sense people nearby and their hostility, which helped her spot someone watching, so she sneakily turned to give them a surprise.

Adventurers always say you gotta keep a hand up when you’re out in the world, surprise ‘em!

Watching the stunned expression of the guy, Nia finally felt the thrill of being a tiger hiding in sheep’s clothing.

But when someone dared to lay a hand on her friend, just playing around wouldn’t cut it.

With a sweet smile that didn’t match her icy tone, Nia asked, “So, where’ve you taken Alice?”

“Good luck getting a word out of me… UGH!!!”

A swift uppercut hit his chin, making him bite his own tongue, tears streaming down his face; then a kick broke his leg, sending him to his knees.

To put it nicely, adventurers ain’t exactly pushovers. To put it bluntly, they’re all brutish thieves.

Nia, having mixed with adventurers since childhood, was no softie when it came to a fight.

Grabbing his hair with one hand, she brandished a dagger with the other, pressing it against his stomach.

“Where’s Alice? Speak up or I’ll make you play girlie~”

————————

Poison Vine, Sequence 8.

More than her title as a Marquis’s daughter, this power allowed her to bully others.

The scarlet whip flickered like a lightning-fast snake, opening its deadly fangs with a greedy strike.

Even if she didn’t know the full extent of her opponent’s abilities, Alice instinctively felt that she shouldn’t get hit by that whip.

Reforming her sword of light, Alice danced around, narrowly dodging the whip’s onslaught.

The whip fell like raindrops, and whatever it touched, whether branches or trees, was met with terrifying smoke, as if corroded by acid.

This was Alice’s first real battle against an Extraordinary Being.

Extraordinary Beings aren’t lumbering fools; they’re significantly more responsive.

Alice made several attempts to close the gap but was always pushed back by the whips.

The disadvantage of distance had her tightly restrained by Yana.

But she adapted quickly.

Her light blue eyes followed the whip’s path, then in a split second, the blonde girl unsheathed her sword and charged at Yana like a hunting dog.

“What a…!”

Poison Vine was an excellent whip master and had strong predictive abilities.

That’s why Yana saw Alice’s movements coming.

She was aiming to take a hit to deal a hit!

What a joke! If it had been at the start, maybe it’d make sense, but after some fighting, didn’t she realize my whip has corrosive capabilities? Going for mutual destruction?!

Seeing the coldness in the blonde girl’s gaze, Yana finally got scared.

At first, she just wanted to bully Alice, then got angry and thought about a real fight, but never expected it would turn into a life-or-death duel.

Yana called out urgently, “What are you standing around for? Help me!”

If Alice and Yana were evenly matched, then the six guards tipped the scale.

Spears, fireballs, iron fists, blades, lightning, ice blades—six kinds of attacks came crashing towards Alice.

Alice swung her sword, light bursting forth.

The sharp blades of light neutralized the incoming attacks, but for every swing she made, she was pushed back by the force, until finally, she was flung away, rolling out in a not-so-graceful manner.

As she landed and steadied herself, she saw the crimson whip come crashing down above her.

Her pupils dilated in shock.

In this moment of crisis, she unconsciously emitted a faint glow of holy light from her entire being.

Yet before the whip could fall, a sharp glint cut through the air.

The poisoned whip, like a snake attacked by a hawk, was struck down by a flying knife.

Just as she thought she had the upper hand, Yana’s furious gaze shot towards the attacker, “Who?!”

On a tall tree stood a green-haired girl.

With a teasing expression, the girl leaned against the trunk, tossing knives nonchalantly, framed by the gentle breeze and fallen leaves, exuding an air of tranquility and aloofness.

Then, pretending to be gloomy, she suddenly spoke.

“Those who know my name are already dead…”

“Nia Lily! I’m only looking for Alice, stay out of this!”

“Hey, can’t you cooperate a bit?” Nia mumbled with grudging annoyance, then leaped over to Alice’s side.

Nia patted her chest confidently, “Alice is my good sister, and I’m definitely getting involved! If you want to fight, I’ll go all out!”

Alice, somewhat bewildered, replied, “But aren’t we just classmates?”

This nearly made Nia trip over herself as she awkwardly turned to clarify, “No, sister just means… we’re close friends…”

“Enough!”

Yana snapped, feeling utterly mocked.

If she could, she’d love to beat the crap out of these two brats in front of her.

But the powerful aura emanating from the green-haired girl—that was the presence of someone at Sequence 8!

Sequence 8 individuals were big shots, yet Yana couldn’t recall Nia being one of them.

This girl had concealed her strength to fool even the Academy’s detection crystal!

Facing two Sequence 8s, if a fight broke out, the best outcome would be mutual ruin.

“Just you wait, this isn’t over!” After much internal struggle, Yana could only throw out a vicious threat, clutching her bloodied face as she left.

“Laughable, running away like that! Thought you were tough! Bullying people, yet a total coward when it comes to real fights!”

Unhibited laughter echoed as Yana, already struggling to stop her nosebleed, ended up splattering more blood.

Roy, Alice, and now Nia too.

She vowed to repay today’s humiliation a hundredfold!
