After all, there was a high chance I had just become a target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For now… I had to stay low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A short distance away, Jane stepped forward to welcome the Moonlight family's representatives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leading them was a young man who appeared to be in his mid-twenties. His sky-blue hair cascaded down his back, his sharp eyes exuding confidence. He was almost unnaturally handsome, with a well-built physique draped in pristine white robes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That demeanor… That arrogance… I recognized him immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jane removed her sunglasses, greeting him with a polite smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Welcome, Young Master Frost.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mere mention of his name made the entire crowd pause for a breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So that's Frost Moonlight…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ghost muttered under his breath, while Danzo tilted his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Frost who? Who the hell is this guy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ghost and I turned to Danzo, equally baffled by his question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You seriously don't know him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even I, someone who wasn't originally from this world, recognized him immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Danzo simply shrugged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why should I?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neither of us had a response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, Ghost took it upon himself to explain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Frost Moonlight is the son of the current Lord, Baylor. He's one of the most talented individuals in the Moonlight family, second only to Seris. He was the top-ranked disciple at the Temple and won the Victoriad three times. Despite being only twenty-four, he's already on the verge of reaching S Class. There's a lot more to say about him, but that's the most important part.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Impressive, I guess.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Our eyes returned to the young man in question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze swept across the crowd before settling back on Jane, who stood before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well done, Miss Jane. We're ready to leave whenever you are. Sort the students as you see fit, and let's go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jane responded swiftly and began organizing everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That settled it—we were leaving on wyvern-back today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I tried to remain unnoticed, but in the end, it was futile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I could feel a pair of piercing eyes locking onto me, scanning me from head to toe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frost had already noticed me—exactly what I had hoped to avoid for as long as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, that man was infatuated with Seris.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And speaking of the devil… Just moments ago, he was practically radiating killing intent toward me. But now, I saw him standing beside Seris, his expression softening with warmth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's been a while, Seris.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even his tone was different—gentler. Could a person really change this much for just one individual?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As always, Seris responded with her signature cold indifference, giving him a slight nod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them entered their own conversation, but I tuned them out completely. The last thing I wanted was to listen to that arrogant bastard fawn over that ice-cold statue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had more important things to worry about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like finding someone to ride with. After all, I was willing to bet that every Moonlight member here despised me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I remained where I was as everyone else formed their groups. Yet, to my surprise, I wasn't alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the hell are you two still doing here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I turned to Ghost and Danzo, who were still arguing beside me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing my question, they both responded in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aren't you going to find a group?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They exchanged glances before Danzo spoke, looking puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you talking about? We already have a group.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gestured between himself, me, and Ghost in that order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Me, you, and this corpse—though I have a hard time considering him a living person.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Were they seriously planning to stick with me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You sure about that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before they could answer, a soft voice interrupted us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We all turned toward the girl hiding her face beneath a wide-brimmed hat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You might have trouble finding a ride if you stay around him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Selena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Danzo scoffed, his face twisting in disgust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whatever. I don't abandon my comrades. Besides, I'm starting to hate that dumb family anyway.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selena chuckled at his words, making a vein bulge on his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Something funny?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She waved her hands dismissively, still smiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not at all~ In fact, I'm here because I want to join you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned to me after saying that last part.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you mind?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I studied her for a moment before sighing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't know why everyone treats me like the leader, but I don't care. Do whatever you want… just don't complain later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selena ignored my warning, joining us with the same carefree grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, I was struggling to keep my composure. Too many main heroines, and each one was more stunning than the last. If not for the fact that they were all just seventeen, I might have lost it by now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Stay focused… They're just characters. This is just another world. None of this has anything to do with me… Nothing at all…'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As I tried to convince myself, time continued to slip by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One by one, people found their rides. The number of waiting groups shrank. But no one approached us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Umm… This isn't looking good…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selena was the first to voice the concern, while I simply shrugged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I told you not to complain. This is the price of forming a group with me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had no comeback—just a defeated sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They really do hate you…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Danzo, meanwhile, was losing patience. And as always, he needed someone to take it out on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, you—aren't you Mist's son? You're supposed to be important! Why isn't anyone coming for you?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We all turned to Ghost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Danzo actually had a point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ghost found himself at the center of our expectant stares. After a brief silence, he finally spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I keep a low profile all the time… so not many people actually know what I look like. They probably didn't even recognize me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Either way, it looked like we were stuck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least, that's what I thought—until a deafening roar tore through the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the hell is that?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shouts erupted as a massive creature flew toward us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A closer look revealed… a wyvern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But not just any wyvern—this one was so colossal I almost mistook it for a dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its flight was erratic, as if it were fighting against something…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No. Someone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few people were riding the beast, but they clearly hadn't tamed it yet. One person in particular kept punching it over and over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then, within moments, that colossal creature came crashing down before us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I stood frozen—not because of the beast, but because of the one riding it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A terrifying woman stood at the forefront of the massive wyvern, landing another punch on its skull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How many times do I have to hit you before you learn to fly straight, you damn lizard?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can't train a wyvern like that—!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shut it, old man! Who asked for your opinion?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Umm… Miss Carmen, did you really have to pick the biggest one?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You just don't get it, girl. Look at those other tiny lizards—none of them even come close! Now this is how you make an entrance!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha… As long as you're happy, that's all that matters.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone stared at the bizarre trio.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dismounting from the wyvern were two women and an elderly man dressed in formal servant attire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carmen still exuded the same overpowering arrogance, dressed in attire that suited a man more than a woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind her, Vulcan—the butler—was, as always, getting bullied by the girls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And leading them all was my sister, wrapped in a black fur coat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment our eyes met, she gave me a sweet wave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I let out a helpless laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You guys… really…\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1281,"2026-05-30T03:41:22.346Z","2026-06-01T04:30:13.202Z",1,"novelbin.me","5e57e546b20635eac05683975b71032cd5c34fd9577843f6f98e1db67e2d28d2","the-villain-s-pov-chapter-99","the-villain-s-pov-chapter-97",866,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-villain-s-pov-cover.jpg"]
