Chapter 2 - E-rank Academy

As I walked out of the classroom, sighing in distaste and frustration, I decided to skip the combat training, heading towards the library instead.

I had just 'woke' up from a very long sleep, I need to catch up on what I missed. My name is Celeste, well in this lifetime, but I used to go by a different name, the Villainess of Lust And Destruction, before being betrayed and killed by my lover.

Right now I'm confused about a lot of things, but it seems after I died she killed my other lovers. She really didn't play around. I have always avoided Yanderes, but it seems I failed to take on account that my promiscuous nature would create one.

I have no one to blame but myself. I walked through the automatic sliding door of the library, which had scanned me before I opening.

The library was.. advanced. I came from an era of scrolls with paper only reserved for the nobles. But now things have changed, technology has advanced, even commoners have access.

But I wasn't surprised, since before ending up in such an era, I was born from a modern world of no magic to speak off, although the technology had not yet advanced this far ahead the same in this world. It wasn't that far behind.

I walked to one of the a.i pods, and got inside, the screen lit up as a robotic voice greeted me with my name. I didn't have time to admire such innovation, instead I began asking questions.

Like what happened to the world I knew, the one with demons, adventurers, Guilds, Kingdoms and my lovers? I already knew that ten thousand years had past, thanks to the history class. But other than what I learned today, I had no clue about anything.

My memories were wiped clean, and I was starting over in this world. Fortunately from the classes reaction, this body was an outcast, with no friends or meaningful connections, so it would be a breeze taking over her life.

Anyway, I read up on the information the a.i showed me about what happened after the Sword Inquisitor killed me. The more I read the angrier I got, what she did was unforgivable.

If she isn't already dead, I'll kill her. I closed my eyes, as I leaned back inside the pod, taking a moment of silence to mourn those I have lost. My heart felt like it had been squeezed tight, and I could barely breathe.

Could I really go on, knowing everyone I ever loved died, has left me behind? It was too much for even me to bear, but I knew I would. I wasn't the suicidal type, I'll bounce back by tomorrow.

"Pod 735, I want information about the Academy I enrolled at."

[Dim Star Academy, one of the only five E-rank Academy located in the eastern part of the Hero City. It's for those born with E-rank superpowers.

As you know once a person is born with a specific letter rank superpower they can never raise their potential only the proficiency of their ability and Mana Capacity.

This E-rank Academy serves to tutor and nurture future Supporting Heroes who will help the true potentials during deadly battles against Deathwalker-level Villains, Dungeon Bosses and Monster Kings and more.

E-rank Academy's provide just as much array of subjects as other High-ranked Academy's, but fall short when it comes to its advanced degree of tutoring on those specific subjects, because E-rank students are not worth the extra attention. As basically they are meant to serve as fodder in many situations.

And—]

"Stop, I have heard enough."

I sighed, bored out of my mind, reading up on this information. At the moment, I was aimless, so even pretending to care about this shit was not worth expanding energy on.

I walked out the library and headed to my dorm wing in these massive palace of an Academy. For a low rank school, it sure is big.

If I wasn't in a foul mood I would laugh at the fact I was a villainess reborn in a body that goes to an Academy that nurtures superhero. For the Goddesses sake, how ridiculous is that, being taught to be a hero as if it's something that can be taught.

When I reached the dorm wing, I headed to my room, pulling out my card and tapping it were there was supposed to be a door knob, and the door opened on its own.

I walked inside and the door closed itself behind me. My room which was more like a two bedroom apartment room that I think I share with other girls, was spacious, having everything we need to live.

I walked inside the first bedroom, not caring if is the one that belonged to me and the two people I think I share the room with, as seen by the three single beds inside.

I threw myself on the surprisingly soft bed, closed my eyes and tried to sleep. But flashes of unfamiliar memories started assaulting me. Some belonged to the girl I took over her body, the other belonged to someone else.

When I opened my eyes a glimmer of hope resurfaced in my cold heart. There was a possibility all my lovers were still alive, even if they weren't, there was a possibility of bringing them back to life.

I just need to get 'there' and I might be able to get to them, but it would be a long journey and I am weak. From my memories, I was born with an E-rank superpower Mercy, a healing type power.

I began laughing maniacally, as I could sense them, my former powers Destruction and Lust. But I could only bring one to the surface, I put aside Destruction for now, it would a great help during dangerous combat situation.

But it would be a stupid decision to pick it, because just like my Mercy superpower it would also be at E-rank. But the Lust power was important and not because of its illusion capabilities, but because its a growth type power.

Not only can it raise the potential of my E-rank superpower to the status of an SSS-rank, it can help me grow more powerful physically speaking.

Of course while also enhancing my beauty to be ethereal. I closed my eyes again, this time truly sleepy, my last thought being, the Lust Villainess is coming back with a vengeance, men hide your wives, brothers your sisters, because I'm coming for them.
