Villain of my own novel

Chapter 74 73. Violet Tyler.



Violet Tyler, who is smart, talented, spoiled, and the only heir to one of the top ten guilds, has always thought others were incompetent because they don't fight the way she wanted.

She had Quinn Walker, the academy's chairman, as her master when she was a child, and though there were others with her, she had always considered herself to be their superior.

Her master had also left her alone, which encouraged her to do whatever she wanted; she had always believed that she could do anything as long as her father's guide was the one who funded the training camp more than the others.

She had pictured herself as a guild master, the growth of the guild while under her control, and ordering around her incompetent subordinates to do the work properly while she enjoyed her life. She had pictured and planned all of this while she was still young.

Her reason for leaving her house is either the guild or the search for talents. She maintained her contact with Katherine and Isha, intending to have them join her guild once she became guild master. Even in the academy, she kept in touch with all of the top ten who were not from a guild bloodline in order to recruit them to her guild.

The new academy professor, 'Eshwar Frost,' piqued her interest. She had done a background check on him through her contacts and discovered that he was an orphan with great talent, but there was no information on him prior to the age of 15.

She was drawn to the idea of having him in her guild because of all the knowledge he possessed about magic and cures for the most common problems encountered by active heroes. She discovered that Isha had been appointed as his assistant professor, and she intended to use her to get closer to him.

After many meetings, she had resolved to get him to join her guild, even if it meant some losses, and he was one of the people she considered to be 'competent,' and she was ready to invest in him if she ever had the opportunity.

She accepted the invitation to the party because she saw it as an opportunity to meet and get closer to her future guild members. But...

"Violet! You too, you have no choice if you want to survive! I know you are strong so get more stronger, if you can't I'll be the one calling you 'incompetent' like you call the others." He said.

'Huh? Who are you to label me as such? Who are you to tell me what I should do? Know your place; you're just one of the people I'm considering hiring, nothing more and nothing less. Why would a supporter class want to grow stronger? If the people other classes can't fight, it's due to their own incompetence!' she scoffed inwardly, furrowing her brows at Eshwar.

'Did I make a mistake in judging him?' Is he one of those people who shine on the outside but have nothing on the inside?' She thought.

SWISH

Suddenly, she saw a giant's fist launch at her face, as if it just wanted to crush her.

'I'll die.' She thought.

WHOOSH

A strong gust of wind hit her face as she looked at Eshwar's fist halt right in front of her face.

"You are the incompetent one...." Eshwar said while staring at her in the eye.

".... If you don't even try to get stronger, that is." Violet didn't take her gaze away from him for a second as he looked around, but she did follow his line of sight and noticed everyone else pointing their weapons at him.

"See? You couldn't even blink while the others planned and executed their next course of action." He said before turning to face Violet.

"...." Violet opened her mouth but only hiccups came out.

'If he didn't stop, I would have died without even knowing what happened.' She realized and shuddered.

"Now, Miss Violet, please accept my apologies, but I need you to admit your incompetence and grow stronger, or..." Eshwar said while standing on top of the table, before crouching down and staring into Violet's eyes.

While he was doing so, Katherine's sword tip bent, Katline's magic broke like small twigs, and Vinny's giant sword, which was aimed at his neck, reformed and shrank back into a cracked two-handed sword, giving Eshwar enough space to act freely.

"What the ffff..." Jiwoo mumbled in daze.

Eshwar leaned in close to Violet's ear and whispered, causing her to turn pale and shiver.

"I apologise for attacking your friend out of nowhere, but it was her fault she couldn't react to it and I moved using rank-D agility like I did to Katline that day in class." Eshwar shrugged and turned to face Isha, who sighed and shook her head.

Violet lowered her head as tears streamed down her cheeks, bit her lower lip in rage, but did nothing, not that she could in the first place.

'I'll kill you the moment I think you are a liability.' She remembered Eshwar's words and bit her lower lip until it bled.

​ ***

After Violet calmed down, we walked out of the casino after I gave Vinny the training sword I got after clearing the Rank- SS dungeon.

[Training Wooden Sword [Rank: D] [Type: BROAD SWORD]: Skill: Weight adjustment.]

'It was necessary. A weak person is only motivated to become strong when they have their a*s handed to them.' I justified myself, trying to shake the bitter feeling I had after doing that to Violet.

I wrote her as a strong enough character to rival the main characters, but looking at her now, I can only see her as a waste of talent.

Violet is one of the people who improves and get stronger after losing to a ranked vampire once while losing her most valuable guild recruits in the process, and after Max, aka the 'Me' now, dies in the novel, since I had no plans of dying anytime soon, I had to come up with a way to make her useful.

"Oh my!" I gasped, causing everybody to flinch.

"What's wrong?" Isha asked and everybody else stared at me with a dumbfounded face.

"... Hm? Nothing?" I dismissed the misunderstanding by waving my hand in front of my face.

"Well, should I leave it to them or.... Should I enjoy myself?" I thought and grinned causing 'everybody' to shudder.

(AN: 'thought' is intentional as Eshwar is drunk and thinking out loud.)

"The night is dark, and some street lights are intentionally turned off.... maybe we'll have 'fun' there?" I tilted my head and continued to think.

"What nonsense? Are you talking to yourself?" Vinny said with a snarl.

"Hm? I'm talking out loud? Not in my head?" I asked, puzzled.

"Yeah!" he yelled, irritated.

"Really? I should be drunk!" I exclaimed in surprise, recalling drinking something that appeared to be the same colour as my own mana.

".... Was that alcohol?" I looked at Isha, surprised by the realization.

"Haaa... Yes, and one of the strongest one at that..." she sighed and mumbled, nodding in agreement.

"Well, I can't do anything if I already drank it.... and if I don't want to waste it." I thought.

"You are talking out loud again.." Isha mumbled and walked towards me, holding my hand and shooing the others away.

".... Hm? I am not getting sober when I'm with her? Then why does it work on my condition?" I pondered.

CRASH

"Hm?" When I looked across the street and saw that a child had been hit by a truck, Vinny and the others dashed to the rescue while apprehending the truck driver. Isha gripped my hand tightly, her face contorted with rage and concern.

".... Truck-kun strikes again!" I mumbled.
