Avoid the Yandere Goddess

The reason for Kaine’s confidence was simple.

First, it was because of his basic strength.

‘To be honest, I don’t feel like I’ll lose.’

Kaine’s strength was such that he could only lose to overwhelming opponents like Eileen and Skaya.

He had easily defeated a sub-leader of the cult, who was stronger than him.

And that was,

‘When I was weaker than I am now.’

So, it was natural for Kaine not to feel nervous.

But Kaine’s confidence wasn’t just because of his strength.

‘I know a lot about that guy.’

Although Kaine had only seen Sien through a screen, the information could still be useful.

‘It’s still a good reference.’

In any fight, information was crucial.

Kaine had used information to land the first blow against John, a cult sub-leader.

‘Sien doesn’t have much information about me.’

Sien hadn’t seen Kaine’s true strength, so he wouldn’t be able to prepare accordingly.

As Kaine walked, he arrived at the Royal Academy.

-Murmurs.

The students around him glanced at Kaine.

Kaine turned up the volume and heard,

“Are you going to watch the fight today?”

“Of course, I am. But who do you think will win?”

“Hmm… Kaine has gotten much stronger, but Sien was also very strong last year, right?”

“Yeah, I heard that. Not only Kaine but also other students were badly beaten by him. Before Kim Soo-yong, Eileen, and Skaya came to the Academy, Sien was the strongest here.”

As expected, they were talking about Kaine and Sien.

Kaine didn’t need to listen anymore, so he turned down the volume.

At that moment,

[The Goddess of fate says that you should drink a potion to calm your nerves before the fight.]

Origin sent a message filled with concern.

Why was she so worried?

It was as if she was Kaine’s mother.

Kaine ignored her message and headed towards the classroom.

Sien was already there, sitting in the back with a nonchalant attitude.

“…”

“…”

Kaine and Sien locked eyes for a moment.

A cold atmosphere filled the classroom.

Kaine ignored Sien and sat in his usual seat.

After about five minutes, students started entering the classroom.

The classroom was packed with students.

Then,

-Creak!

William entered the classroom, dragging his slippers.

And so, the first day of school began.

.

.

.

The school day ended.

Sien had been observing Kaine throughout the day.

He wanted to gather useful information about Kaine’s movements and habits.

However,

“Hmm…”

Contrary to his expectations, Sien didn’t gain much useful information.

Kaine’s companions had blocked his view whenever he tried to observe Kaine.

‘It doesn’t matter.’

Even without that information, Sien was confident in his victory.

A year ago, Sien had been the top predator at the Royal Academy, and he had trained during his leave of absence.

How much stronger could Kaine have gotten?

‘He didn’t even have much talent to begin with.’

Sien remembered the day he fought Kaine.

Kaine had challenged Sien without any sense of self-awareness.

The reason for Kaine’s challenge was,

-You’re crossing the line.

Sien’s actions had been the reason for Kaine’s challenge.

At that time, Sien had been a problem student, causing too many incidents.

He had been forced to take a leave of absence despite being the top student.

Kaine had challenged Sien, thinking that he could teach him a lesson.

The result was,

‘I should have crushed him more. So he wouldn’t dare to challenge me again.’

Kaine had lost, and it was an overwhelming defeat.

It was natural, as Kaine had no talent, despite his efforts.

Sien, on the other hand, was not only the top student but also had exceptional talent.

‘It’s annoying that a talentless guy like him dares to challenge me.’

Sien felt angry as he remembered the past.

He calmed down and walked towards the training ground.

-Murmurs.

The students in the audience stared at Sien as he entered.

Not only that,

“Buy popcorn now! It’s too late to go to the store!”

“Please, Goddess, let Kaine win. I’ve bet all my money on him.”

Some students were selling snacks at a higher price, and others were betting money on the fight.

Sien smirked.

‘I wonder what those who bet on Kaine are thinking.’

The first-year students might not know Sien, but the others should know his strength.

‘It seems like I’ve been underestimated.’

Sien thought to himself as he warmed up.

Then,

-Shiver.

A cold chill ran down his spine.

Who was emitting such a chilling aura?

Sien looked around, and,

“…”

Beautiful women appeared in his sight.

Sien slowly scanned them and narrowed his eyes.

‘…I’ve seen them somewhere. They’re the maids who follow Kaine.’

Kaine’s maids were famous for their beauty, so Sien vaguely remembered them.

‘…Some of them look familiar, but who are the others?’

Except for Lise, some of the women glared at Sien with fierce eyes.

Sien scanned them one by one and came to a conclusion.

‘…They must be related to Kaine.’

Otherwise, there was no reason for them to stare at him with such intensity.

Sien nodded, confirming his guess, when,

-Footsteps.

Someone was walking towards the other entrance.

Kaine turned his head and saw David von Kaine walking towards him.

.

.

.

At that moment,

The female alliance glared at Sien with fierce eyes.

Lisanna asked,

“So, that third-rate thug-like guy was your trauma?”

“Hmm… Probably.”

Willy nodded with a cold expression.

Kage, who was holding a bag of popcorn, asked,

“How bad was he that he became your trauma?”

“…”

“…”

Skaya, Eileen, and Lise, who had witnessed the fight, remained silent.

Then, Jenny slowly spoke up,

“He just toyed with Kaine. He could have ended it at any time, but he deliberately prolonged it and beat him up one-sidedly. He even used his signature techniques to torture him.”

“Hmm… That’s a big problem.”

At that moment, everyone’s attention turned to Kage.

Then, Lise looked puzzled and asked,

“To Young Master?”

“No…”

Kage shook her head.

At that moment,

“To the guy with the smug expression.”

Jenny looked at Sien with pity.

The future was too obvious.

.

.

.

Kaine arrived at the training ground and scanned the audience.

He noticed the female alliance, who had come to cheer for him.

‘Fortunately, they got seats.’

Kaine had thought that it would be difficult for nine people to get seats together, but it seemed like he had worried too much.

Seeing them together like that,

“Hmm… Why do I have to be the referee again?”

At that moment, William scratched his head and sighed, looking annoyed.

He turned to Kaine and said,

“You again, Kaine?”

“Haha, Professor, you don’t have much to do anyway.”

Kaine smiled awkwardly and stated a fact, making William sigh deeply.

“Hmm… I can’t even give you a demerit. You’re making my life difficult, kid.”

“You have to earn your salary, Professor.”

“…”

William couldn’t hit Kaine, but he was tempted to.

As William hesitated, Sien urged him to start the fight.

“Professor, let’s begin.”

“Hmm… Alright, then. Before the fight, both of you should state your conditions for the loser.”

As soon as William finished speaking, Sien spoke up,

“Then, I’ll state my conditions first. If I win, you will be my errand boy until you graduate from the Royal Academy. And you will prevent your acquaintances from seeking revenge on me.”

Sien’s conditions shocked the students in the audience.

David von Kaine was no ordinary person.

Last year, he was the son of a marquis, but now he was the head of his family and a duke.

He was no longer a marquis but a duke.

Even though the Royal Academy was known for its equality, Sien’s conditions were too much.

Normally, Kaine would have rejected such conditions, but,

“Hmm… Sure, I’ll accept.”

Kaine shrugged and accepted without hesitation.

At the same time,

“If Kaine loses, it’s going to be a big mess.”

“Yeah… Shouldn’t we stop him?”

“But they’re not doing anything.”

The audience looked at the female alliance, expecting them to intervene.

Contrary to expectations, the female alliance remained expressionless.

It was strange for them to remain silent, as they weren’t close to Kaine.

“Hmm… That’s interesting.”

“…”

At that moment, Kaine raised one corner of his mouth and said,

“I was also thinking of making a similar proposal. Well, it’s a bit different, though.”

Sien tilted his head, confused by Kaine’s words.

Kaine explained,

“My conditions are that if you lose, you’ll become my bread shuttle and address me with respect. And as a bonus, you’ll kneel and bow to me.”

“…”

“…”

An awkward silence filled the training ground.

The students in the audience looked at Kaine with disgusted expressions.

[The Goddess of fate says that you’re also amazing.]

[The Goddess of happiness says that she wants to see your brain.]

Then, the two Goddess sent messages, expressing their disbelief.

[The Goddess of Play bursts into laughter.]

[The Goddess of Battle says that it’s normal to make such bets.]

Hmm… Why do I feel weird when she agrees with me?

If it’s a normal bet, these conditions are reasonable.

‘Since that guy is asking me, a duke, to be his bread shuttle, these conditions are fair.’

As Kaine was trying to understand the audience’s reaction, William nodded with a confused expression.

“Hmm… I think both of your conditions are fair, so I’ll accept them. The fight will end when one of you surrenders or is knocked out. Begin!”

As soon as William finished speaking,

-Whoosh!

Sien enhanced his body with aura.

Then, with a fierce expression, he shouted,

“Your ambush won’t work this time!”

Sien kicked off, and Kaine also enhanced his body.

-Thud!

Kaine punched Sien’s face at the right moment.

“Cough!”

Sien flew like a cannonball and hit the wall.

Kaine opened his mouth with a bitter expression,

“You coward, hitting me with your face again!”
