6 Delicious Food and Attacks Go Hand-in-Hand!

I only got back to the academy at 11:00 pm. After all, everyone kept getting into fights. In a villain world, strength is supreme.

I couldn't really do much, but after getting Keotex to stop fighting his teammates, I got him to break up all the other fights as well.

"I'm exhausted. Goodnight Keotex." I say, yawning. I promptly shut my door, make sure to lock it this time, before doing all the bedtime activities.

The light turns off automatically. The bed I bought feels just like the one I had on Earth. Someday, I'll be able to go back. But I have to live that long first...

The next morning.

You can't tell whether or not it's morning, as there is no atmosphere. I'm kicked out of bed by the blaring alarm that sounds like an air raid siren.

"What time even is it?" I check the clock on my phone. "5:00?! I only slept for six hours?!"

I forgot after all that yesterday. Classes start at 5:00. I'm late!

I shove some clothes on, rapidly brush my teeth, and leap out the door. No need for bags today! Plus, there's no homework to hand in!

My first class was math. I don't have to pay attention, as not only do I not understand anything the teacher is saying, I have the ultimate cheating weapon. My iPhone from Earth!

'Remember to not be conspicuous!' Keotex discovered my secret in less than one day. I'm apparently very bad at hiding anything. Although, Keotex is a trained assassin/spy who was planted in people's houses. I should be fine.

When I barge in, the teacher is taking role call. It's 5:21. Isn't this late? Well, better for me!

The teacher nods her head before continuing. I find an empty seat that was not the one the main character used and take it. Since my last name starts with a "s," the teacher doesn't call my name until near the end. I'm on time, even though I'm super late!

Keotex shoves someone off the seat next to me. Hey, you're drawing attention to me! Oh wait, I already did that by being late.

My iPhone vibrates. It has a notification.

[Rern's anger +50 infamy points.]

That's from the guy that Keotex shoved. I get infamy points for not doing anything? It was Keotex who did that not me!

Although, I can buy that Gore Filter now. I buy it.

"Akira, good morning!" Keotex greets after settling in his new seat.

"Hello. Erm, did you have a nice sleep?" Sorry, I was an otaku on Earth.

"Yeah! I beat up so many people!"

In your dream or reality? I decide not to ask.

Class starts. The teacher blabbers on about the new school year and that we're not supposed to get cocky because we got into the number one school. Then she starts teaching math. I understood one word, and that was "the."

Thankfully, none of the "fateful encounters with some hot guys" happened. Except for Keotex. He sits right next to me, so he decided to merge our desks. I don't know how he did it, he just squashed them together. He tried to sit on my lap. For the last time, I'm not your mom!

Class ended. Next was English. I should be fine here, as English should be the same here. It should even be easy for me.

The lesson was as expected, but the only seat left was the main character's original seat. This seat has all love interests surrounding it except for Keotex. But Keotex isn't in this class anyway...

I tentatively sit down. Immediately after I do, the "class plot" starts. Shiya somehow manages to fall off his seat. I'm supposed to catch him since he sits in front of me. He's one of the good people, but he could become a horrible person. What should I do...

I catch him. I'm a human from Earth, okay? What if he gets stomped on after falling? No one would care!

"Sorry!" Shiya says after he pulls himself back up.

"It's no problem." No, it's a huge problem!

"No really, I should repay you. Um, let's see, food...how about a restaurant! We could go at lunch. I found this one that sells really good food yesterday! It's better than anything in the forest!" Of course it is, it's food made by professional chefs.

Now what? I don't want to go, but I can't just reject his good intentions!

The red haired guy on my left leans in and says, "I would like to come to. I'll pick up the bill...and who knows what else?"

No way no how, Tractos! You are it going to pick me up for your experiments! Or food., I bet you're not even going to eat anything! Oh right, in the game, you didn't...

This is how the main character got dragged into this meal. With two good looking guys pressuring her, what can she say?

I'm not her. I'll say...

"Sorry, but I have something to do at lunch." Going to my business isn't a lie, right?

Shiya looks troubled, as he can't repay me now. I'm fine, I don't need remuneration!

Tractos tries again. "I'm sure that's as important as you are to me. How about after school?"

"I have the same thing after school." Hey, running a business full of villains isn't easy. I have to personally pick up the new employees.

Tractos looks surprised. A thought bubble appears. 'How can she resist my charm?'

Tractos actually has a magical ability to charm people. Every girl he meets falls for him after a few lines. It's ineffective when people know what it is. Kinda cliche. It doesn't work on me since I know what his ability is.

Class starts, so Tractos and Shiya lose their chance to talk to me. Tractos attempts some flowery words when the teacher isn't paying attention, but he fails. By the end of class, I'm not even being polite. I just brutally reject him. It's not what happened in the game since the main character had said yes. It's really annoying!

In the next few classes until lunch, Keotex is in the same class. No one bothers me when he fights anyone who gets near me. Is this a red flag?

—————

At lunch, you have to pay for your meals. I skip the cafeteria in favor of eating my lunch in my room. Technically, I have to run my business, but there's nothing much to do other than training and reforming my employees. I just set some new parameters on my investment platform before watching some anime.

For lunch, I bought a bagel from a street vendor. I plaster both cream cheese and butter on it. What? Don't judge me.

Someone knocks on my door. Actually, they tried to open the door directly, but the door is locked.

"Akira, it's me." Keotex's voice comes from the other side. "I brought lunch! Let's eat together!"

There's no way I'm eating lunch in my room with a psychopathic boy. I'm only six years older, okay? There's not that much of an age difference, plus there's teenage hormones!

"I have lunch already. I bought a bagel." I reject.

"That's not enough food! Look, I bought the food from that anime! There's pepperoni pizza, fries, and ramen!"

"Are you trying to fatten me up? I would expect that from Tractos, not you!"

"Is Tractos that guy you call a "yandere?" That term doesn't exist here. After he found me out, I told him some stuff about the characters, mainly so he could keep them away.

"Yes."

"Never mind that, let's eat!"

The aroma from the food doesn't get through the door. It's a metal sliding door, with an electronic lock. Haha, take that temptation! You can't get me without the smell!

"I'm good."

"Then I'll just eat here." Shuffling sounds could be heard on the other side of the door. "Oh hey, it's good!"

Pizza! Ramen! And wait a minute, in that anime, there was pork chops.

I open the door. "Pork chops!" I snatch a bowl from the ground. I sit down and proceed to wolf down every morsel.

Keotex, who was just eating from that bowl, picks up another one. "These are really good, right?"

"Mhm." I reply, shoveling food into my mouth. After finishing the pork chops, I grab a slice of pizza. There's also some bowls of different types of ramen. There's at least ten meals here. Isn't this too much? I'll have to eat five portions!

At least it's delicious! I just spend the rest of the period scarfing huge portions of food down.

—————

Only twenty minutes later do I remember an event that happened during lunch. "Keotex!" I swallow the rest of my food. "We're about to get attacked!"

Keotex is in the middle of a bowl of ramen. "What? By whom?"

"There's a neighboring country that covets the land of this one. In half a year, a war will break out between them. Today is just a small attack on the next generation."

Keotex starts packing the food. "When does this attack happen exactly?"

I check my iPhone. "The attack starts at 12:13."

It's 12:09 right now. It's a close call.

"Don't worry, we shouldn't die. However there's something I have to do."

"What is it?"

I tell him.

—————

Four minutes later, the school suddenly shakes. The real air raid alarms blare, signaling an attack from space. The students panic.

Near the dock.

A round shuttle with a sharp frontside rams through the hull. Soldiers clad in black armor march out of the shuttle. They all wield formidable looking black guns. Their commander holds the flag of their country up. He speaks in a booming voice that echos throughout the dock.

"Remember! Even if you die, you die for our country! For Vanales!"

"For Vanales! Death to the Minst Empire!"
