Chapter 13 The Villainess and the Student Council President
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
Late at night in the study, the amber glow of indirect lighting softly lit a polished desk.
The rich scent of wood filling the room did nothing to disturb my sharp, focused thoughts. I stared hard at the crystal resting there—about the size of a marble, fitting perfectly in my palm. Its surface felt smooth and cool to the touch.
Deep inside its core, though faint, the twisted shapes of Cecilia and Prince Liam could be seen moving together.
A strange thrill mixed with a faint trace of malice made my heart burn hot.
This was the result of blood, tears, and NTR, finished while steadily grinding away at my own sanity. No—rather, it should be called my ultimate trump card, having perfectly captured the “scandal” of Cecilia and Prince Liam.
”Xenos-sama, thank you for your hard work,” Lilia said.
”Master, are you okay?” Mina asked.
When I suddenly snapped back to reality, Lilia in her black bunny girl suit and Mina wearing a white rabbit kigurumi1 were peering worriedly into my face through the sweet-smelling air.
At the sight of their soft gazes, my tense heart relaxed just a little.
If not for the almost aggressive healing effect of combining the sexy with the cute, I might have lost my sanity long ago.
Ah, no—that was not quite right. My madness, which would gladly pay any price to reach its goals, had simply been temporarily calmed.
”Heh, it’s all thanks to you two,” I replied.
When I lightly patted their heads, they smiled happily.
Lilia’s smooth hair slipped through my fingers like silk, and Mina’s white rabbit ears were fluffy and soft. A small warmth passed into my frozen fingertips.
(Cecilia and Liam’s “scandal” has become the perfect bargaining chip. From here on, there will be countless ways to use this…)
I quietly slipped the crystal into my breast pocket, hardening my resolve for the next part of the plan.
A few days later.
Royal Magic Academy Arcanum was wrapped in a strange, feverish excitement.
A transfer student from the Adrastea Empire—
Princess Elisabeth was arriving at the academy today.
”Is that the princess of the Empire…?” one student whispered.
”What a beautiful lady…” another gaped.
”Why is a princess from an enemy nation here? She must be planning something,” a third muttered.
A low buzz filled the central corridor.
The students’ gazes pierced the walking group like countless arrows. Admiration, curiosity, and poorly hidden hostility. At the center of it all, Elisabeth Adrastea looked straight ahead with a noble calm, completely unafraid.
Deep blue hair that seemed to reflect the night sky swayed gently with her movements. Her gaze was as cold as ice, refusing to let anyone read a single shred of emotion.
Her straight-backed posture was the very image of the Empire’s majesty that she carried on her shoulders.
I watched the scene calmly from the shadow of a pillar.
(So that is Princess Elisabeth. Liam’s partner in a political marriage… Eventually, you too will be placed under my control.)
A smirk appeared on my lips, unnoticed by anyone.
From that day on, the atmosphere of the academy began to change bit by bit.
Prince Liam and Princess Elisabeth were often seen talking alone, however awkwardly.
The surrounding students whispered about “the Prince and the Empire’s princess…,” and their relationship quickly became public knowledge.
My fiancée, Cecilia, watched that sight from a short distance away.
Standing there, taking a step back.
With the sunlight at her back, her expression was cast in deep shadow. In her profile, a loneliness flickered, like someone looking at a loved one from far away. The wind gently touched her hair, carrying a faint sense of sadness.
Her eyes wavered quietly, as if looking up at a distant sky.
＊＊＊
”Xenos-sama,” Cecilia called out.
In the shadow of the library bookshelves.
In a deserted spot, Cecilia had come up to me. The faint scent of dusty paper and ink drifted through the silence-shrouded space.
”I am deepening my relationship with Liam-sama just as we arranged. But… when will the official announcement about ending our engagement be made…?” she asked.
Anxiety and impatience that she could not fully hide flickered in her eyes. It seemed she would be perfectly satisfied just to become the beloved prince’s concubine.
But to achieve that, her engagement to me had to be broken off.
And—
More than anything, she must have hated the very idea of marrying someone like me, who had Zero Mana, from the bottom of her heart. That emotion was plain to see across every line of her face.
Paying no mind to her anxiety, I told her calmly:
”The time is not yet right. Do not be impatient. To make Duke Vermillion fully convinced, we must strike at the most effective moment. The materials are ready. All that remains is to wait for the right time.”
”…I understand,” she murmured.
Cecilia showed a dissatisfied expression, but unable to go against my words, she gave a small nod and left the area. Her footsteps echoed hollowly through the quiet library.
Almost like the sound of the empty void inside her heart.
Just as I confirmed she was out of sight and got ready to leave the library, it happened.
”Good day to you, Grimlock-sama,” a voice called out.
A sweet, yet somehow icy voice stopped me in my tracks. A voice like frozen honey.
Turning around, standing there was a young lady swaying her glossy purple ringlets—
Violetta Azalea.
Hiding her mouth behind a fan trimmed with expensive lace, she narrowed her pale purple eyes, looking down at me. The scent of her perfume lightly brushed past my nose.
It was the gaze of a snake choosing its prey.
”To think that someone with Zero Mana could take the position of the next family head. My, how terribly uncouth. Yet, I find myself quite impressed by your sheer stubbornness,” she remarked.
She kept speaking, walking around me as if measuring me up.
The click-clack of her heels echoed through the quiet space.
As if trapping her prey, elegantly, yet relentlessly.
”You also find that cheeky woman from the Empire to be a nuisance, do you not? Prince Liam belongs to me. I will not let him be stolen by a woman like that. …If you cooperate with me, I shall see that it benefits you as well,” she proposed.
—I see.
She intended to use me as a pawn to tear Prince Liam and Elisabeth apart. …A shallow script, perfectly fitting for a villainess.
Unfortunately for her, I had no interest in moving according to someone else’s script.
”I would not mind cooperating,” I snorted at Violetta’s proposal, tossing back a provoking reply.
Mockery bled into my voice. A voice that surely reached her ears like a sweet poison.
”But my reward will not be gold or status. I will have that body of yours.”
”—! Y-You insolent wretch!!” Violetta shrieked.
In an instant, Violetta’s face flushed bright red with fury.
Before my eyes, her pale skin turned crimson.
Her hand, trembling with rage, slammed her expensive fan down on the floor.
A dry clack rang out.
Then, she thrust her palm out toward me.
”I shall make sure that filthy mouth of yours never opens again! Now, kneel before me and lick my shoes!” she commanded.
Her eyes flashed with an eerie light, and a powerful surge of mind-controlling Mana rushed toward me.
Any ordinary person would have been brought under her complete control in an instant.
But—
I would not obey her command.
Just before the Mana could reach me, it scattered into nothingness like a heat haze, completely vanishing.
A sensation like a faint breeze passing by.
As if nothing had happened, the silence returned.
”Bad girls need to be punished,” I whispered.
When I casually took a step forward, all the blood drained from Violetta’s face.
A face like white wax.
The color of terror spread across her beautiful features.
”Wh…y…? My magic… is not working?! That is impossible!” she gasped.
Her special magic had been stopped without the slightest resistance.
Shocked by that reality, she was thrown into total panic. Her eyes were wide with fear, trembling like a broken doll. Empty eyes that had lost their Mana.
I slowly closed the distance between us, whispering. Close enough that she could feel my breath.
My shadow fell long across her face.
”Dominating someone like me with a pathetic magic like yours is completely out of the question. What a pity.”
”Hie…!” she whimpered.
I grabbed the arm of the terror-stricken, frozen Violetta and roughly pinned her against the wall.
A dull thud echoed against the hard surface.
Under my grip on her arm, there was a sensation as if her bones were grinding.
And then, right into her trembling ear, I delivered my declaration.
”Do not mistake your place. You and I are in completely different leagues. Never bring your pathetic schemes to me again.”
With her pride utterly destroyed and driven to pure terror by something she could not understand—
Violetta let out a small shriek and fled the scene.
The sound of her heels faded away into the distance.
Faintly, like the running footsteps of a fleeing small animal.
I coldly watched her retreating figure.
(For now, at least. But I will make sure to fully enjoy breaking you later. Until then, stay quiet. I am already looking forward to seeing that proud face twisted with pleasure.)
There was no way Prince Liam would take anything that woman said seriously, and she was not the type to go around telling everyone about her own failure. Deciding there was no need to silence her, I left her alone.
A villainess certainly had her charms, but now was not the time to conquer her.
My target was the person with the highest priority…
That person sitting at the very center of the royal family.
＊＊＊
The scene shifted to the front of the student council room after school.
I spoke to one of the student council officers in a polite but firm tone.
”I have business with the Student Council President, Eleanor Asgard-senpai. Please tell her I request a meeting.”
The officer shot me a suspicious look that clearly asked, “Why is a Zero Mana nobody like you looking for the President, who is called the ‘Saint of Light’?” But he could not flatly refuse a formal request from the future head of the Grimlock family.
He disappeared behind the heavy doors for a moment.
After a short while, the officer returned and told me with a tense expression:
”…The President is waiting for you. She says to enter alone.”
”Is that so?” I murmured.
With a quiet smile on my lips, I placed my hand on the heavy mahogany door.
Coldly gripped within my hand was that very crystal, holding the scandalous scene of the Prince and Cecilia.

Summary:
Moving from the quiet sanctuary of his study, Xenos finalizes his blackmail material against Prince Liam and Cecilia before transitioning to the public corridors of Arcanum Academy. The arrival of the imperial transfer student Princess Elisabeth introduces a major political disruption, prompting a hidden library ambush by the classic villainess Violetta. Xenos violently turns the tables on Violetta’s mind control magic, leaving her broken and fleeing while he marches forward alone to present his ultimate leverage to the student council president.
—
Trivia:
Xenos is operating within a world whose events are dictated by a specific game script that he alone possesses.
Despite having absolutely Zero Mana, Xenos has successfully claimed leadership inheritance of the prominent Grimlock family line.
The scandalous memory crystal acts as literal physical evidence of NTR designed specifically to break an imperial political alignment.
Princess Elisabeth’s deep blue hair and absolute emotional distance are direct visual representations of the Adrastea Empire’s cold military prestige.
Violetta Azalea’s mind control magic is fundamentally reliant on a target’s standard Mana susceptibility, rendering it utterly useless against Xenos’s anomalous void state.
Elenor Asgard holds extreme institutional authority as the ‘Saint of Light’ inside the student council, functioning as a higher priority target than the academy villainesses.
