In My Favorite Novel As The Final Villain

Chapter 68: Protagonist In Depression



The world seemed to freeze, all the students watching what seemed almost impossible in front of their eyes.

Arnold, in just one attack, knocked William down, and in less than 5 seconds the battle had ended as Arnold was the victor.

"What was that?" asked William, puzzled.

Arnold saw him slumped on the ground, with a neutral expression. "Easy, you lost, you let your guard down when your kick was about to impact, and in addition to slowing down, you had also reduced your mana."

At the mention of all the mistakes, the professor couldn't look him in the eye, nodding.

But Arnold wasn't finished. "With all the above said, I just had to give you a mammoth Mana pressure with all my Intermediate Peak strength, using my own Mana, and make you lose your balance by touching your leg."

All the students immediately understood Arnold's strategy, each one clapping.

"That's great...awesome!"

"Is he the same age as us? He's a monster! A great strategist..."

Proudly, the albino calmly walked out of the room, meeting all sorts of people congratulating him.

'He's a monster... Much more than he should be' thought Theos.

But this he saw as normal, after all, in the novel he only had Alan as his ultimate rival and they were always on par, even though Arnold was superior at the start. However, seeing Theos, with such a big gap between him, Alan, and himself, made him try harder to be stronger.

'A butterfly effect no doubt,' Theos concluded.

"That was amazing," Alice admitted, her pretty eyes wide with surprise.

Theos nodded. "Sure, we're talking about some of the greatest geniuses, if it's about strength and power, I'd be the most powerful, but Arnold's intelligence, especially how he strategizes in real time, is without a doubt terrifying."

Listening to Theos's words, she went into a thoughtful stance, her hand massaging her chin. "So, in a battle you versus him, on equal terms, would Arnold win?"

Theos shook his head from side to side. "No, my Mana is much more powerful than his, plus I have superior intelligence, I would say, my only weakness is not having battle experience, but it would still be my victory, however, he would give me a hard time, especially how he uses his Ice Path."

Confirming this, the pair resumed their attention to the training room, where Alan entered with a face so serious that Theos had to hold back laughter to keep from bursting out laughing.

"Another genius," William muttered with a frown.

He had already had a hard time with these so-called "geniuses", he underestimated one, resulting in his defeat, and the other one set a psychological trap for him. What will Alan do? He wondered.

There are rumors that Alan and Arnold are almost equal as far as power is concerned, so Arnold being at an Intermediate Peak power, even at nothing to be at Advanced, William assumed that Alan should be similar.

"Now!" he shouted after reminding Alan of the rules.

The combat began.

The two clashed multiple times, the professor did not underestimate Alan in the least and used his power as an Advanced Peak, but one as powerful as a Master.

Alan, despite resisting the clashes, was gradually tiring, he also had no strategy before entering the battle.

Slowly but surely, Alan found himself completely and utterly outclassed by William, who watched him with a hint of disappointment.

'Bullshit... Because they humiliated you, you have the right to take it out on me? Fuck you!' the blond thought angrily.

He saw how William underestimated Theos and Arnold, but now he attacked him with all the even more, which made him angry.

He, who was always the center of attention, was now reduced to a mockery, the only one of the current generation's geniuses who could not defeat William.

Finally, after several minutes of battle, the battle itself ended with Alan's defeat as no significant attack hit William.

"He lost..."

"A bit disappointing..."

The conversions did not stop coming as Alan pathetically lost the battle.

As he passed through all the students, the blond clenched his hands in rage and anger, but could only accept... Accept the injustice of the world.

If there was one thing he realized since he met Theos, it was that the world is quite unfair, nothing was going right for him and his parents' health was getting worse.

Without realizing it, loneliness and sadness were taking over his soul.

[The protagonist, Alan, has experienced different emotions such as Loneliness, sadness, anger, and frustration because of the host... You have received 6000 negative energy].

[The protagonist, Alan, is going into depression because of the host's actions... You have received 20,000 negative energy].

Hearing the constant notifications from the system, Theos couldn't help but smile broadly.

"Wow, yeah what do you hate that guy," Alice said upon seeing Theos' cheerful smile.

"It's normal, he deserves to lose, he's a bastard who almost gave my brother a bad reputation in the world," Nora commented, sitting between Theos and Alice.

"How... You know what? Forget it.", sighed Theos.

He had long ago given up on how his sister used to disappear and appear out of nowhere.

"Speaking of Alan, I don't hate him, but it does make me happy for his misery over... Certain things," he stated.

"Certain things? Like what?" asked Alice innocently.

"Because he deserves it!" exclaimed Nora before her brother could respond.

She stood up and with her finger, pointed to the sky as a sign of justice, as if to say: it is divine justice that is falling on him.

Alice laughed at her behavior, instead Theos rolled his eyes, but with a slight smile on his lips.

"Oh, look, now it's Eleanor's turn," exclaimed the albino, pointing to the door where Eleanor was entering.

Alice narrowed her eyes, paying special attention to this battle, likewise, but to a lesser extent, Nora watched with special attention the fight that was about to unfold.

Theos, on the other hand, with a smile on his face, could only shake his head, thinking of William's bad luck in having to fight Eleanor so quickly.
