Lackey's Seducing Survival Odyssey

Chapter 301: It’s getting messy...

Victor led Kenley and her friends down the deserted corridor, its cold, empty silence amplifying their footsteps. Ashara, shadowing them, kept her eyes darting between Victor and the group, her concern palpable.

”So?”

Kenley and her friends, emboldened by Victorʼs composed demeanour, attempted to make their move. Kenley, ever so forward, reached out to touch him. Yet, Ashara was quick to intervene again, her voice firm and protective, ”Iʼve told you before, he doesnʼt like others touching him.”

Kenleyʼs frustration was palpable as she gritted her teeth, her eyes flashing with a mix of anger and defiance. She wanted to lash out but found herself restrained by Victorʼs unwavering gaze. With a huff, she said, ”Anyhow, I heard that girl, Kyra, falsely accused my uncle.”

Victorʼs brows furrowed, ”Uncle?”

”Yes, my uncle, Professor Kennedy,” Kenley replied, her voice dripping with pride. Her uncle was a revered figure in their noble family, held in high esteem for his achievements.

Victor regarded Kenley with a steady gaze before replying, ”Falsely accused? He got what he deserved.”

”Deserved?! The hell!! Do you even know who he was?!!” Kenleyʼs voice rose in frustration, her disbelief evident.

”A noble, so what?” Victorʼs tone was tinged with annoyance. He felt the problem, which he thought was resolved, was dragging on unnecessarily.

”What the...” Kenleyʼs frown deepened, her patience wearing thin. She glanced at her friends, who immediately understood their cue.

The first girl stepped forward, her tone filled with reverence,

”Kennedy Blade was a baron nobleman who forged his own path and developed revolutionary artifacts. He was appointed directly to the academy for his intellect and creativity. He created most of the equipment that functions in this academy!”

The second girl chimed in, her voice filled with admiration. ”He elevated his houseʼs rank from baron to duke! He married a beautiful wife and had a large family, living a life filled with love and joy. His only passion was his work with technology. He lacked for nothing!”

Kenley then interjected, her tone dripping with disdain. ”Do you really think that a man who had such a fulfilling life, with a loving wife and everything he could wish for, would bother with a.... commoner girl?” Her words carried a layer of contempt.

Victorʼs expression remained serious as he stared at Kenley, then glanced at Ashara, who was observing him with curiosity, ”A man can have many sides and conceal them carefully... even if they are closely related.”

Kenley frowned at his response, her patience wearing thin. She hadnʼt come for philosophical debates, so she cut straight to the point, ”Whatever... I just want you to withdraw the complaint from the Principal.”

”I donʼt think I have any right—”

”Yes, you do have that right... because youʼre the reason that commoner girl falsely accused my uncle,” Kenley interjected with a serious expression, her voice hardening. She added with a smirk, ”Why donʼt you visit that girl and see if she wants to withdraw her complaint or not?”

Victorʼs frown deepened. ”What do you mean?”

Kenleyʼs lips curled into a malevolent smile as she said, ”Just visit her departement...” and turned to leave.

Victor and Asharaʼs faces fell as they began to understand the gravity of the situation. Just as they were about to leave,

”Especially that womanʼs restroom~” Kenley called out with a sinister smile and smirk, revelling in the distress she had caused.

”Aarrrhhh!!” As soon as they were out of sight, Kenley let out a scream of pain, clutching her right ear.

”Kenley!!” Her friends shouted in alarm, rushing to her side.

”Tsk, letʼs get to the infirmary quickly!” Kenley shouted through gritted teeth, her pain evident, ʼThat bastard....ʼ

Meanwhile,

Ashara and Victor sprinted towards the senior department, their urgency was apparent. Reaching the nearby restroom, Ashara said, ”You wait here—” but before she could finish, Victor was already inside, moving with a single-minded purpose.

”V-Victor!!” Asharaʼs voice was filled with worry, fearing that her friend might be mistaken for a pervert.

But as she entered, she found the restroom empty except for a distressing scene.

Drip, Drip

A girl lay unconscious on the floor, her body drenched in water. Strands of hair were pulled from her head, her clothes were torn, and blood seeped from a wound on her head.

Victor blankly stared at the grim sight, his expression unchanging. Ashara moved swiftly to check the girlʼs pulse.

”We need to take her to the infirmary!” Ashara exclaimed urgently.

”No...” Victor shook his head, his face serious. The situation had worsened, and taking her to the infirmary now would attract unwanted attention. The old woman would surely note the incident and inform the professors, risking exposure of the girlʼs identity.... which certainly this girl didnʼt want.

Ashara, still concerned, protested, ”We donʼt have time, Victor! She might die if—”

”Get Helena,” Victor instructed firmly. Ashara hesitated for a moment before running off to find Helena.

Meanwhile, Victor stared at the girl before shifting to the mirror and staring at his image, ”Who are you?” he asked, directing his question to the reflection of his own image. Yet, there was no answer.

”If you think you can hide your presence with such a pathetic skill... then you are far from reaching her level,” Victorʼs voice was cold as he addressed the mirror.

Yet,

There was no response whatsoever.

The silence that followed was unsettling. Victor stared at the mirror, then tilted his head slightly to the right.

It was then that Victor in the Mirror suddenly smirked and a mechanical voice filled the room, dripping with amusement,

”Oh! You are really able to sense me... ah,” the Mirror Victor said, its tone playful.

”What are you?” Victor asked with a frown, his patience wearing thin.

”What are you?... Ah, thatʼs quite a good question. But... the same could be said for you.... Aether.

What are you?” The Mirror Victor asked back with argument.

”...” Victorʼs expression remained neutral, his mind racing with thoughts.

”Haha... donʼt worry, I didnʼt harm this girl, but those girls really hurt her lot.... What a pity, What a pity.... and I am not your enemy,” The Mirror Victor shook his head with a pitiful expression.

Victor smirked, ”Yeah, and Iʼm not your friend either, right?”

”Haha... yes, yes... youʼre right,” The Mirror Victor also smirked as his voice replied with a hint of arrogance, ”There is no need to concern yourself with who I am or what I am.

I am merely curious... about how ʼThe Beginningʼ is going to start. Thatʼs all...

Just remember, everything goes according to Motherʼs wish. Whether you like it or not, fate cannot be changed, and Thatʼs the law!!” The Mirror Victor smiled haughtily, ”I hope you understand one day, H#########”

Crack, Crack

The mirror shattered into a million pieces, the sound echoing through the restroom.

Victor stared at the broken mirror before calling, ”Celestia.”

Celestia appeared as if from nowhere, wrapping the girl in a cloth and lifting her with ease. ”Where to?” she asked.

”..... Principalʼs house,” Victor replied.

Celestia nodded and vanished in an instant.

Victor took a moment to compose himself, sighing, ʼItʼs getting messy...ʼ He shook his head, reminding himself of his mission. It wasnʼt his place to get involved in other matters. His task was to seduce the women.

That was all that mattered!!
