The villainess shall be mine

"Hey, stop!"

One of the members of the so-called Black Troops tried to stop Adam from entering the library.

This man was tasked to find and investigate anyone that appeared suspicious, and unlike anyone else, Adam came down from the sky.

His arrival might have been an impactful one, but from this soldier's point of view, it was extremely suspicious.

Nonetheless, despite his ignorance, this man could be considered a fool as he didn't even try to see Adam from a point of view of a high-level gift holder.

In his mind, Adam was whether a simple student or a culprit to be caught.

This soldier, like some people who were present there, thought that Adam was just an unknown noble who tried to stand out. His handsomeness annoyed them, and the fact that he was with Blanca made them more irritated.

These people were those who wanted to stand out themselves but were also afraid to be treated as an outsider by everyone else. In other words, they were those who didn't appreciate their way of life but were scared to make some changes.

Consequently, Adam who stood out from everyone else was at the center of the intention and some people were trying to find ways to criticize in their mind.

The royal family was different because they were royal families, or so these people told themselves, but anyone else who tried to stand out must be some kind of clown and deserve to be exposed and humiliated.

Hence, some people began to smirk when they saw Adam being intercepted by the soldier.

However, unlike what most people expected, Adam didn't even pay attention to the soldier and continued to walk.

He walked as if he didn't acknowledge the existence and the opinion of everyone else around him. Without saying anything, he made it clear that he was above everyone else.

Nevertheless, some people would never acknowledge such a thing because their perception and knowledge were limited.

Thus, feeling enraged and humiliated by Adam's attitude the man wanted to rush at Adam, grab him from behind, and immobilize him. The thought of asking Adam his ID like a civilized person didn't cross his mind at all.

In the first place, Adam already know that he wasn't the person that should check his ID, so having his ID checked by an unqualified person would also reflect badly on his image, making him look like some kind of criminal.

"Hey-" The man thought that it was time to display his power and show that students were just students.

In the end, however, he didn't even manage to move from where he stood. There was something invisible preventing his feet from moving and his body felt extremely heavy.

Adam didn't react and didn't turn back, making it seem like the soldier was talking to himself this whole time.

The interior of the library was spacious and was almost as big as a whole town. Compared to it, the Royal Library of Kepalta looked like a small room.

It would take a couple of days for a person to tour the whole area and that was only if they didn't take a look at interesting books on the way.

Adam knew where he needed to go but there were already a lot of people inside the library.

Most of them were participants but some senior students were visiting the library out of curiosity.

Nonetheless, some were there to look for books and archives and some of them were high-level, gift holders. There were even those who used their power to move around and reach the higher section of the enormous bookshelves.

From this, Adam concluded that the books on the lower part of the bookshelves were commonly used books, but those at the top were more valuable, thus only those who could reach the higher section would be able to browse through them.

As such, Adam floated in mid-air again and advanced slowly while observing his surroundings. Of course, he did let any excessive expression appear on his face, and his objective was to finish the registration as fast as possible.

It seemed like there were various registration points scattered all around the area of the library to speed up the process.

Still, Adam could also see that there were groups of people who were chattering among themselves all around the library.

From the look of it, there was always one person at the center of those groups who appeared to be some kind of talented individual from an influential family.

While looking at these groups of people, Adam noticed that one of the registration points wasn't used despite being available, but he could see that this was due to the presence of a group of people near it.

Moreover, the spot where this registration was situated appeared to be the best in the library. It even had beautiful seats, tables, and a section where students could buy luxurious sweets.

'Are they monopolizing this area?' Adam thought to himself looking at what was happening.

To his surprise, he also recognized the silhouette of one person. Still, everyone else knew who she was, and the two men wearing shiny silver armor who appeared a bit out of place in this modern world had already attracted people's attention before Adam was even aware of her presence.

Still, it was not like Adam was interested in other people than those he already loved. As such, after making sure that there was no suspicious presence, activity, or aura within the library, he had already lost interest in everything else.

The books were sure interesting, but with his ability, it would even take him a week to gather all of the necessary information inside them with Cristal's help.

'So she is the emperor's daughter, Neige,' Adam identified the person and had already begun to observe her. After all, she could become a key element of his plan, depending on the background story.

Neige headed straight to the registration point at the best spot in the library, and no one dared to say anything.

Nonetheless, some looked at her with vicious thoughts and other hidden ideas inside their mind even if they appeared to be some bystanders who looked at a celebrity passing by.

Neige was now a student after all, and this year's test was special and she had to participate.

Adam had already thought about various possibilities just from this one detail. Why did her father allow her daughter to take part in this take knowledge about the various possible outcomes? Was he confident in his daughter's ability or was there something else?

In other words, he needed to know, how the emperor saw Neige. After all, it might be a small detail, but it could be related to bigger issues. And if he could prevent everything else by resolving this issue, it would save him a lot of time, or so Adam thought.

However, he knew that things weren't that simple, and if the emperor treated Neige badly, it wasn't like he could do anything for her, and he wouldn't hesitate to eliminate her for the sake of the world.

At least, the world would not be destroyed, but Adam didn't care about what happened as long as he got to live a reasonably happy life with his family without caring about the God of destruction.

'Not good, I am thinking too much. It's not the time for that now,' Adam thought and headed toward the popular spot where those who considered themselves at the top of the hierarchy gathered.

Adam already knew that this was the reason why the other students who were not confident in their status, ability, or just wanted to be left alone chose to not even pass by this area.

Not that Adam cared about such a thing though. These kids were just kids in front of his eyes, and even he, a thirty years old guy who experienced insane situations that these kids would never believe even if it was told to them, considered himself as still incompetent in various areas.

Thus, whatever these kids thought about him or guessed about him didn't matter at all. In every aspect, he was above them and he acted according to his status, nothing more nothing less.

He was a Lord, a genius, a fighter, a brother, a son, and a friend, so it was not like there was anything else that he wanted from them apart from the respect that he deserved. After all, no one could become his lover among them, and apart from respect, that was the only thing Adam wanted.

In other words, the character that he was playing was actually how he should have always acted in the first place.

That was why he didn't have a hard time playing the character and felt that things should continue this way.

After that, Adam landed elegantly on the ground and walked toward the registration point, following Neige.
