Scarlet was enrolled in the Villainess Academy to learn how the world of evil truly operates. She possessed hearts so pure and innocent that were often considered naive, easily believing whatever she was told, which made her seem foolish in the eyes of others. A girl with no mana, no aura, cannot summon a spirit, or execute a magic. Her parents, worried that her innocence and inability to survive in the world would be her downfall, they enrolled her in the Villainess Academy, hoping they would learn the harsh realities of the world and toughen up. 

In the academy where she was bullied and belittle, Scarlet met someone who would protect her. But this person is hiding in shadow

Hide in Shadows

"Scarlet, where are you going?" Jenna's voice broke through my haze as I stuffed another shirt into my bag.

"Home," I replied tersely, my back to her. I didn't want her to see my red, swollen eyes or the fresh tears streaming down my cheeks.

Jenna stepped closer, her footsteps hesitant. "Home? Why? Did something happen?"

I shook my head, zipping up my bag with trembling hands. "I just need to go, Jenna. Please don't ask questions."

She wasn't having it. Jenna grabbed my arm, gently but firmly, forcing me to face her. Her eyes widened when she saw my tear-streaked face. "Scarlet, what's wrong? You're crying. Talk to me."

Jenna didn't let go, her grip on my arm tightening slightly. "Scarlet, don't give me that. I know you, and I know when something's wrong. What happened?"

I pulled my arm away and looked at Jenna for a moment. I didn't say anything. I couldn't.
