The Strongest Villain, Who Had Secluded Himself Deep in the Mountains To Avoid the Destruction Flag, Is Forced Onto the Main Stage by the Heroine He Helped

The spectators in the training ground turned silent after the events that transpired here.

Amidst the crowd enveloped in astonishment, a girl was blended in it while her interest was piqued.

‘… Hmmm, incredible.’

She had lustrous amethyst-colored hair and eyes of the same hue.

Although she was clearly showing interest, her exquisitely delicate features hardly changed.

‘… That was a spell related to ‘lightning’. However, he’s incorporating the phenomenon into his own body.’

In this world, magic generally involves “adding a new phenomena to the world.”

The attribute of ‘fire’ imparts events based on fire to the world, and ‘water’ imparts events based on water.

All of these manifestations are outward and visible, generally directed towards others.

However, the magic used by the boy named Alba imparts new phenomena to himself rather than the world…

‘…I wonder if everyone realizes just how challenging this is?’

First and foremost, it must be something generally unknown.

With few pioneers, even theoretically valid concepts can fail due to unexpected factors. Fundamentally, constructing theories without a mentor’s guidance would be a difficult endeavor.

The first issue is whether these new phenomena can integrate with one’s own body.

What happens when completely unforeseen natural phenomena become part of the human body?

The root of magic is mana, and even if its state changes color, it should function seamlessly within the body as long as it aligns with the flowing mana.

However, that’s purely theoretical.

It’s like saying that if you inject a different blood type, it’s still blood and can be transfused… but It’s based on the same principle.

‘… Hence, most people who attempt it will crumble internally and perish.’

Yet, that wasn’t the case.

In other words…

‘… His latent talent must be exceptional.’

The girl suddenly turned her gaze back to Alba.

He was enveloped in a pale blue light, seemingly perfectly fine, with no apparent abnormalities.

He wasn’t pushing himself, and there seemed to be no restrictions.

‘… He’s in the same realm as my master. It’s a bit frustrating though.’

As the crowd surrounded her, the girl turned her back to Alba and started walking away.

‘…I won’t lose.’

In that moment, an expression not of stoicism but of distortion crossed the girl’s face.

As if the expressions on her face were saying, “I won’t accept losing…”

‘… As the disciple of a sage, I won’t allow myself to be defeated by anyone in the field of magic.’

“Woah! That was really cool!”

Meanwhile, in a different place, a girl was practically radiating excitement, as if dispersing an air of astonishment.

Beside her, a boy displayed a look of concern.

“Hey, hey, Alice! Calm down!”

“Nah, I can’t calm down with something like this! I couldn’t see it clearly, but it was like a Zap! The next moment his opponent was completely blown away!”

Despite the boy’s attempts to calm her, the girl’s excitement showed no signs of fading.

Letting out a deep sigh, he shifted his gaze towards Alba as if resigning to the situation.

“I heard rumors that he’s worthless and has no relation to magic… Well, that was definitely impressive.”

“Oh? You think so too, Yuris-kun?”

“Yeah, I think he’s impressive.”

The boy couldn’t take his eyes off Alba.

“Probably, that movement… I think it’s some kind of magic, but what I found impressive is his physical technique.”

“Physical technique?”

“Yeah, kicking in a way that causes the least damage, making sure not to kill the opponent.”

Normally, when something hits at near-light speed, most things would be destroyed. Even if Alba himself was moving at that speed, his opponent was completely exposed. Even if he held back, the body parts would certainly be pulverized.

If he went to such lengths against an opponent, no matter how many healers or healing potions were present, people of the same age wouldn’t be able to endure the pain. They would writhe in agony… At worst, they could go into shock and die.

“The abdomen… maybe the pelvic region? Precise choice. Even a skilled martial artist would find it challenging to accurately target that area, as a slight deviation could shatter the pelvis and rupture organs. Moving at that speed and hitting accurately seems difficult even for an average warrior.”

“Hmm… you saw it well. Could it be that Yuris-kun could defeat him too? I’ve known you since we were kids, so I can’t help but wonder.”

In response to the girl’s words, the boy shrugged.

“That’s highly unlikely. There’s a difference between being able to track with your eyes and being able to counter it.”

Perhaps only the current Knight Commander or the current Archmage could win against Alba. The boy pushed through the crowd, advancing towards the scene.

“The worthless son who was supposed to be dead is actually alive and has become unstoppable… but I don’t think I’d have anything to do with him unless he hurt someone and caused sorrow.”

Sheria is innocent and pure-hearted.

But she’s not a fool who forgets her position and duties.

‘Al-kun’s power is comparable to that of adults.’

Sheria watched Alba’s back, and slightly panicked inwardly.

‘If someone like him were at the church, he could surely save many people.’

Whether as a guard, a priest, a holy knight, or anything else. Alba’s power would always be a supporting strength for someone, no matter the time or situation.

The Pope must have known of Alba’s abilities and given him the title of ‘Novice Holy Knight.’

Considering her own feelings and the church’s interests… it was not solely for Sheria’s sake.

What is Sheria’s goal? She joined the academy to learn things that couldn’t be learned at the church after turning a certain age.

Why is she with Alba? The answer is because she is indebted to him and she loves him.

If the church’s interests are also aligned with those factors… then the path to what she should do becomes even more clear.

‘I can’t let Al-kun escape from me matter what!’

Even for the sake of fulfilling her affection.

With her determination solidified, Sheria rushed towards Alba, who was calling out to her.
