The Real Villain

Chapter 3

EARLY IN THE MORNING, Ella got up from her bed and prepared herself. As far as she can remember, today is their second Examination Test.

Except for their entrance exam, which happened five days ago in the arena. There is a second Examination and third examination round. Well, it’s really hard to get into Grandeur Academy. It's after all a prestigious school. What else can you expect?

"Are you ready?" Great general Silveste asked Elloira, her daughter.

"Of course, father. I'm prepared for this day!" She beamed.

"Good. Please be careful there my little princess, alright? Take care of yourself. Father is not there to help you..."

Ella nodded her head, and sigh in the back of her mind.

This b***h is one of the heck lucky ones to have a loving father...

"Your father is right, my daughter... You need to be careful there. Your father and I weren't there to help you out..."

Ella looked at her mother and smiled. "Thank you, mother and father..."

ELLA SNEERED when she was finally out of the sight of her wicked mother and grandmother.

She entered her family carriage and let herself be comfortable inside.

"Let's go, I don't wanna be late for my second Exam..." She demands on her coachman.

"Right away, young Lady."

Then the carriage starts making its way to the academy.

"Young lady, I remember that you asked me to bring your combat armor. Do you want to put this on now?" Her maid

For a moment, Ella thinks of either considering her maid's suggestion or not. After a minute or two, she nodded her head in agreement.

Immediately, Muna prepared her combat armor and help her miss to put it on.

After wearing the armor, Ella looked at herself in the full-length mirror inside the carriage.

You see, their carriage is not like other ordinary carriages that have only seats. Theirs we're like a home carriage.

There is a couch inside, a small dirty kitchen, and also a make-up counter for her.

Amazing right? I know.

Anyway, Ella nodded feeling satisfied while looking at herself in the mirror.

"Great job..."

"I'm glad that you like it, young lady..." Her maid was almost teary-eyed when she said her thanks.

The combat armor that Ella wears today is personally created by her maid. This combat armor is also the first one that her maid created. And it's satisfyingly beautiful.

Ella discover a few days ago that her maid has a secret talent. Her maid can make unique dresses that can capture the likes of young ladies.

Her maid Muna is creating dresses secretly in her hide-out outside the mansion. It's not far-away though.

When Ella finds out about this. Muna is so pale and trembling like she's been caught doing illegal things.

Ella chuckled as she remember that scene in her mind.

While on the other hand, Muna is looking at her young miss like she is crazy.

"I'M SO EXCITED! Gosh, I hope that I can pass the test! I will make my mama proud of me.." Ella hears one of her classmates says.

"Yeah, me too! I will make sure that I can pass this test! This is one of a lifetime opportunity. I don't wanna lose it" another one also said.

"I'm sure our parents will be so proud of us if ever we succeed in this exam..." She squeaks happily.

Ella can sense the determination and their anticipation about this examination. She can feel the excitement of these three ladies.

She sigh, she never felt that kind of feeling in her past life. Like what's the feeling of having a mother and father, a family. She never felt that.

But good thing she died in her past life. It's kinda a blessing in disguise for her.

She almost lost her sanity in her past life. The pain she felt in her past life is just too much. She doesn't how to handle the pain anymore, good thing she died.

She may look like she doesn't care or she's numb already but in honesty, She felt dying inside, like she's been tortured a couple of times in just a minute.

Living your whole life, being neglected by the people around you, and being bullied by the kids around you. Can depress an innocent heart.

At the young age of Ella, she already experience the real cruelty of life. Being a neglected child. She is a disgust in everyone's eyes.

The happenings are just so painful in her young heart and mind.

Anyway, she shook her head to wash away those thoughts and just simply sit properly and wait for their instructor to come in.

They were instructed that they will wait here and wait for further instruction for the Second Examination.

So she did.

Not long minute, someone entered their room. The man is like he is in his mid-20's or so. Err maybe?.

He has red hair like blazing fire and blue eyes like a blue ocean. He is tall, like a seven-footer or eight.

A giant... She chuckled at that thought.

Her eyes widen when suddenly, the man looks into her eyes. Directly.

Wait, can he read minds? Oh, shoot!

The man smirk at her, and for some reason, Ella felt goosebumps.

"Okay kids, settle down please, and pay attention..." The man says coldly.

Immediately, all settled themselves in their seats and shut their mouths. Like seriously, this man Infront of them is just so scary. Not to mention his cut between her nose and cheeks.

"Okay good. So I'm here to give you the tips and instructions for later. I want you to listen carefully, alright?"

"Understand"

"By the way, I'm instructor Boom, I'm a class A wizard of my generation. Pleased to meet you, everybody."

Ella held her head down. She can't help it.

What the f? Instructor boom? Seriously? That's....pfft

Other students are thinking the same thing too. Most of them were trying to hold back their laughter to their asses.

Boom? Are his parents serious? His look is already like pfft... being bombed!

Then his parents named him like that! Are they serious? That's so cruel!

Where's justice?

Anyway, no one dared to laugh and just simply held their laughter to themselves for doing so.

They can't afford to offend this guy Infront of them. He's a Class A wizard for Pete's sake! What can they do against him?

"As you all know, everyone needs to prove themselves to be worth it to enter this prestigious school. Everyone knows that..."

Instructor boom, explain everything they needed to know and what are the things they needed to do and accomplish.

After explaining they immediately went to the arena to have their second Examination.

The Arena this time is not the same as where the first Examination happened. This time it's inside the school.

ELLA closed her eyes and felt her surrounding. She heaves a sigh when she felt that. She swiftly get down from the tree where she was and landed on the ground perfectly.

"Nice landing..." A girl with brunette hair and blue eyes said. She has this smug smirk on her face.

Ella sneered, but didn't comment anything and just waited for the girl to attack her first.

Ara being impatient all the time, attack Ella at once when she saw that Ella didn't make a move. Her blue eyes glowed as the Mana flowed all over her body.

She chanted a spell and pointed her closed hands to Ella who doesn't seem to care. She open her hands and the water element rushed to Ella.

On the other hand, Ella waited and with her fast reflex, she took out her dagger and swiftly dodge the attack of Ara.

Ara got shocked but recovered immediately. She again lift her hand and tried to start a chant again but Ella is too fast enough to stop her.

Ella's Dagger stabbed her shoulder that immediately bleed.

"Damn, you bitch..."She roared and glared at Ella who even smirk at her.

"I'm not a mirror..."

Ara rolled her eyes. "Who told you, you are a mirror? Where in fact you are a stupid w***e!"

Ella heaved a sigh. What an idiotic b***h!

Ella faked a shock then say. " Are you a mind reader? I'm about to say the same thing to you."

Ara could no longer retort and just attack Ella again. Even though her arms are bleeding she tried her best not to show that she's in pain. She must win in this competition. She must be!

ELLA let out a big sigh when finally the second Exam is done. If you can still remember, the first one is where she and Hara got one on one battle.

The first Examination round was three days ago and that is for the entrance and scholarship of grandeur and this second one is for their ranking.

Luckily, the goddess of luck is with her again this time. She managed to climb up to the highest section, which is the black section.

Black section, where rare genius is located. And most of them were very talented when it comes to fighting and their elemental attribute.

The Black section has powerful mages and dangerous students. And also, when you are a black section student. There is special treatment.

ELLA sneered and scratch her nape. She thought the examination is already done. But who would have thought that there is another one?

The third and last trial. She heaved a sigh and scratch her nape once more. It's her mannerism when she's being irritated or bored.

"Are you ready? If not better back out. Grandeur Academy doesn't need Coward students!" the headmaster says.

"The third examination will be different from the first two examinations. For this third game, you will need to find two senior students of Grandeur and one junior student, and also one newbie to be in your company...

"This third examination is Called 'the game of war'... Every student must do their best. Cause if not..." A devil smirk appeared on the headmaster's lips which made the students shiver. They felt bad about this headmaster. "And by the way, you have 1 week to train and be ready for your third examination. Don't disappoint me..."

"HEY, do you have a group?" A girl with pink hair, pink eyes, and oh she's pink all over.

Ella assumed that this girl is a pink freak. From head to foot, this girl is wearing pink.

"Not yet..." isn't it obvious?

"Nice, my name is Almira and this one is Aira, she's a junior student. We only have to find to senior."

"You're looking for senior students?"

"Yeah, do you know where we can find one?"

"Let's be group...."

"Wait, you two are seniors?.."

"Yes gotta problem with that?"

"No, but you two don't look like one...."

"And what do you mean by that?"

"Nothing.."

ALMIRA is panting hard as she catches her Breath. She is not used to this kind of training.

I think I made a wrong decision in choosing this team... huhu. They are so cruel more than I thought! She cried inwardly and sulk.

She can't believe that these four ladies are so cruel and brutal. They have innocent faces but hell... They are so cruel!

"Almira get back in your training!" Vera, one of the seniors commanded her.

"I-I'm tired. Let me rest!"

"Rest? it's still not resting time. So get your ass off and start training..."

Almira almost cursed vera for being cruel but she can't do that at the moment. She doesn't have any choice but to get her ass in training.

On the other hand, Ella chuckled to herself. Almira is very cute in her own way. Even though that girl is sulking, she still acts so cutely.

But please, don't let that witch bother her anymore. For the past days that they are together in their training. Almira keeps on pestering her. At first, she just let her but she keeps on bugging Ella. To the point it makes her irritated even by her mere presence.

"Do you think, we can make it?" Carla asked.

"Of course, We will. Why are you doubting?" Hera said.

"It's not like that. But we already failed 4 times already. I'm...."

"Were gonna make it, and I'll make sure of that."

ELLA SIGH AS SHE finally reached her home. She will have another battle in her.

Her mother and grandmother is for sure prepared something for her. Since her father isn't here and is out there having a war between other countries, for sure her mother and grandmother will take this chance to ruin her.

Anyway, her forehead creased when she heard a lot of voices inside their mansion. And when did their mansion have a lot of people?

She scratched her tip nose and decided to check if what's happening.

Her eyebrows raised when she saw that there is a tea party in their house. She was sure that it is her mother who had done this.

"Oh your back, my lovely daughter..." Her mother hugs her and she hugs back.

Acting is starting again.

"Hi mother, How's your day? I assumed that you are having fun.."

"Of course, of course. How was school, my daughter?"

At first, you can tell that this is a view of sweet affection of the mother and child. But only, in their visitor's eyes.

Cause both we're aware of how they loath each other.
