(27) Yagren Potskich

The traffic was surprisingly very low in the capital of Survile.

Only awakeners and people with the upper echelon of social status could afford to live there. Scrubbing the total population down immensely.

It was no joke that the newly formed dungeon acted like a population mediator.

Even while Lucas stared out of the car with relaxation, people were dying because of the outbreak of the dungeons around the world.

'In the end, it's all about where you were born, huh? If I was transmigrated in the middle of the frontline, I doubt I can guarantee my safety either.' Lucas leisurely rubbed cigarette buds on the ashtray.

"Is there something important in this farewell party?" Syuzia tilted her head towards Lucas.

Lucas noticed his serious expression and loosened up a little.

"You can say it is serious. There might be a person who is aiming for my life."

Syuzia long realized Lucas's lie about being connected with the cardinal officers. But she didn't care about such a thing anymore either. Her obsessive personality had already selected Lucas at this moment.

Hearing Lucas speak, Syuzia's face grew stoic to a freezing point. Her intentions were clear in her eyes.

"Don't kill him even if he tries to kill me. You can take action to disarm or neutralize his action of course." Lucas reminded Syuzia worriedly.

The chances of the protagonist being killed by Syuzia were low, but if it were to come to reality, Lucas would lose an important source of villain points and villain aura.

Lucas's goal was to at least have 20,000 villain aura by the time he officially joined the anti-clock academy.

Even the immature protagonist like Levon had more than 35,000 protagonist aura, Lucas had no idea what kind of number a full-fledged protagonist's status would display.

'And when I dug into the past to search for harem master, it felt like its whole existence was erased. There is no doubt that this is the earth I know, from history. But for the existence of a famous game to fully vanish...I can't help but think there is something hidden deeply....' 

Feeling a headache rising from his intensive thinking, Lucas rubbed his temple.

"We have arrived, sir." The driver fixed his glasses and opened the door for Lucas and Syuzia to walk out.

The entrance of the luxurious school presented itself to Lucas, who stepped out of the car. It was a school naturally known as the playground for the rich and as well as hell for the poor.

Nostalgia hit Lucas as pieces of memory passed through his mind.

'....It doesn't seem like the past host fully hated his school life or anything.' Lucas brushed his hair backward which was cut into the wolf style a few days ago.

With Lucas's temperament and villainously handsome face, he appeared like a natural predator with his new hairstyle.

The students who were admitted recently, stared at Lucas walking into the school with an unapproachable atmosphere following him.

"Hey...that's Jackserlt's brand new limited model car, right?"

"Wow, he is a graduate, I remember seeing his face in the poster along with the others. But he seems a lot more handsome than in the picture..."

"....He's so hot."

Girls still in their growth phase blushed whenever their eyes met with Lucas.

'The farewell event was delayed for a long time. It's most likely due to that bullying incident, but I wonder if there was any other reason....' Lucas didn't bother with the freshman and followed the route in his head.

Lucas arrived in the audition room used to host this party. More than half of the graduated students gathered here, talking with each creating a buzzing sound.

However, when Lucas stepped into the huge room, the buzzing sound had decreased considerably.

Everyone looked towards Lucas and Syuzia who expressionlessly stood beside him. From the moment Lucas said his life might be in danger, Syuzia maintained a cold expression on her face — Just complimenting her doll-like looks.

"Oy, that's Lucas, right?"

"Yeah..."

"Oh shit! he looks like a different person."

Some boys who appear to have rougher hairstyles and piercings on their ears moved towards Lucas with no hesitation.

Lucas didn't distance himself from them and spoke in a friendly manner with them, breaking his cold expression.

[Minor villain characters detected!]

[Due to the villain aura difference, the three minor villains will feel mentally pressured to follow your orders.]

According to the villain system, minor villains were those who had below 3,000 villain aura.

'These three must be who wrecked Katlyn's body before her face was disfigured. If their past actions were dug out, I'm pretty sure it would have played a fatal role against them....just what kind of lawyer did their parents hire for them to win so effortlessly?'

Lucas's mind wandered around when he heard one of the bullies speak.

Multiple lackeys followed these three minor villains. They were all somewhat talented, throwing them out of these minor villains' harassing list. 

The three minor villains showed an attitude that they were lowering themselves before Lucas. They keenly felt that Lucas's rank had surpassed them immensely. 

"Ah, right. This is my sister, she doesn't like violence so control yourself." Lucas threatened the three minor villains jokingly. He was keenly aware that violence would occur here regardless of his will. 

And then after a few more minutes.

"Oi, it's that nutjob, hahaha..." One of the Minor villains named Jerath pointed at the student, who walked into the audition room with his hazy eyes. 

However, the very next moment, Jerath felt his eyes freeze looking at the gang following behind the pointed individual. 

[Ding! Discover a protagonist!]

[Name: Yagren potskich

Age: 18

Protagonist aura: 73,660

Special ability: Experienced a second awakening and received a SSS rank skill, called — The fate's hand.]

[Fate's hand: 

First effect: Double the wielder's stats for half an hour.

The second effect: Five adversaries can be chosen, before whom, the stats rise by ten times. The effect lasts for two minutes. (A new adversary can only be chosen after the old ones are killed.)

The third effect: God's will it — Time shall stop temporarily for five seconds excluding the wielder.]

'The fuck is with this cheating bitch???' Lucas felt his eyelids twitch looking at the status of this new protagonist. 

From what Lucas could sense, Yagren was a rank E awakener. His strength wouldn't be that far apart from Lucas's if he used the second effect of Fate's hand skill.

Lucas had not strengthened himself further after reaching rank D-. He had maintained a cautious mind and saved up his villain points. And it would be suspicious if he broke through ranks like paper too.

The people following behind Yagren had solemn expressions on their faces. While their strength was not very far from Yagren himself. With the iron rods and daggers in their hands, no student wanted to even make an eye contact with them. 

Lucas even found three people whose rank he couldn't sense in the slightest.
