Did he apologize?

Negut felt as if he were talking to a robot instead.

Although Selvia was very beautiful, her face showed little emotion, like a doll's, even though it was covered with a layer of laziness and fatigue.

This made her seem more like a robot than a human.

He frowned and said, "No, I didn't bring flowers today. What I mean is…"

Negut was speaking but had to stop because Selvia was staring straight at him.

Those eyes seemed to see his entire mind, even the thoughts inside his head, which scared him.

However, that feeling only lasted a second and then disappeared. Negut breathed a sigh of relief while feeling that this world was too dangerous.

Even a heroine possessed such terrifying power that a single look frightened him. How could a useless villain like him survive?

"What a pity…" Selvia said, her eyes half-closed as if saddened by something.

Negut felt confused by Selvia's expression, but he didn't care much. He thought to himself: 'Anyway, I'm here just to cut off any connection between him and Selvia.'

'Ack! There's no relationship between me and her at all.'

'I just want Selvia to know I won't bother her and the protagonist anymore. From there, I'll let the protagonist know that I won't bother his woman anymore.'

Negut felt that his plan, although a bit simple, would probably be very effective.

After all, in every novel, the conflict between the villain and the protagonist mostly stems from the woman.

If Negut lets go and stops bothering the protagonist's woman, there will be no more conflicts between him and the protagonist.

Selvia tilted her head, looking at him, and suddenly said: "Do you want to hear me play a piece?"

"Heh?!" Negut looked at Selvia in confusion, as if he were seeing a strange creature.

He didn't know exactly what Selvia's talent was, but based on the 'old Negut's' memory, she was a musical genius, a dancer of the piano keys.

However, there were two things that made Selvia extremely special… she had never touched any other man nor let any other man touch her.

Negut understood what this meant while cursing inwardly: 'Surely it's so that the protagonist Alec becomes the first man she touches. Then, a woman who has never touched a man, touching the protagonist for the first time, would fall in love with him.'

'Eww! The plot is even worse than those K-dramas.'

Negut remembered the motifs that had appeared in novels and immediately understood why Selvia had such a setup.

Besides, perhaps that setup had led to the second strange thing: Selvia had never invited anyone to listen to her play the piano in her private room.

Yes, although this was a 'music room', a common area, it seemed this room was only for her.

No one knew exactly what Selvia's talent was; people only knew that her music had the effect of enhancing everyone's recovery ability.

It even dispelled fatigue and stress, helping everyone's mind to sink into absolute relaxation.

As for the rest... Selvia's talent remained a mystery.

Of course, Negut didn't know either. However, he didn't care; no, to be precise, the 'old Negut' didn't care.

To the 'old Negut', Selvia was the goddess of this academy, a shining star in the night sky that he truly wanted to obtain.

'Wait a minute!' Negut suddenly remembered something: 'Selvia is Alec's childhood friend; could it be that since childhood to adulthood... they have never touched each other, and Alec has never heard Selvia play the piano?'

Negut shook his head, not wanting to think any more. After all, the setup in the novel was extremely chaotic; perhaps the author set it up that way so that when the villain appeared, the relationship between the male and female leads would begin to develop.

"Sorry!" Negut firmly said, "I am currently a bit busy; I can't listen to you play."

"Selvia, don't worry; from now on I will definitely not look for you, not cause you any trouble."

"I sincerely wish you happiness with the one you love, forever together, forever happy."

After saying that, Negut turned and left, not giving Selvia a chance to respond.

Selvia watched Negut's back as he left; a hint of pink light appeared in her eyes but then immediately disappeared. Her red lips moved slightly: "Am I... that scary?"

…

Negut walked while looking at his 'Death Event' notification; the time remained unchanged, but he wasn't too worried.

'If Selvia tells Alec that I won't bother her anymore, he definitely won't cause trouble for me and won't want to kill me either.'

'After all, the conflict between us only stemmed from Selvia. If I no longer have any connection with her, Alec can't unreasonably cause trouble for me.'

Negut felt much more at ease, no longer feeling as if the Grim Reaper's scythe was at his neck.

He leisurely walked to class. Although he didn't need to attend classes, he was in the same class as Alec and even Selvia, so he needed to go to class.

Attending classes was a way for him to gather as much information as possible. Besides, he could interact with the main character, building friendliness and friendship.

Negut walked to the classroom; he hadn't yet found Alec when he saw a 'Void Mark' floating above a young man's head.

The young man was about 20 years old, with a somewhat ordinary appearance. If Negut were arrogant, he could say that he was much more handsome than that young man.

If he were humble, he could say that the young man had a normal face, so normal that even if you threw him into a crowd, you wouldn't be able to pick out anything special about him.

However, he knew that the young man was very special because he was the protagonist, Alec.

Alec sat with his chin resting on his hand, and when he saw Negut enter the classroom, he looked at him with eyes full of challenge.

Negut took a deep breath and walked towards Alec.

Standing in front of Alec, Negut could see his face. Short black hair, a normal face but full of strong and determined aura.

"So? Got beaten yesterday and want to take revenge today?" Alec asked with a sneer.

Everyone around immediately took out their phones and started recording.

"Look... Negut is confronting Alec."

"Well, it's understandable. Alec beat Negut yesterday, and with Negut's nature, he would seek revenge."

"Ah! Alec is so pitiful, he hits Negut to protect Selvia. But Negut is just a..."

"Shhh! Do you want to die? Stop talking, just watch."

"That's right, even if he's useless, he's still the son of the governor. One word from him could shatter our entire family like glass."

"Why are you talking so much? Get ready to see how Alec will be tormented by Negut."

"Tsk! Relying on his family's power alone, he's just a useless person in the end."

"Be quiet! Do you want to die? Even if he's useless, he has good parents. Are your parents like his?"

"That's right. I just feel sorry for Alec. He's not afraid of Negut's power; he's a hero saving the damsel in distress. In the end... ah..."

The crowd kept talking, and even though they tried to keep their voices down, Negut could hear everything they were saying.

He wasn't angry; rather, he was trying to remember what happened yesterday. Although he was the son of the governor, with immense power, the protagonist still treated him like an ordinary person.

Yesterday, he was giving flowers to Selvia when Alec stopped him. After all, Selvia was Alec's childhood friend, so it was perfectly normal for him to protect her.

In a fit of anger, the 'old Negut' almost touched Selvia. At that moment, Alec transformed into a hero, beating Negut like a punching bag.

Even though Alec was only rank D, compared to a useless person like Negut, he was a hundred times stronger. So Negut couldn't resist; he could only obediently be a punching bag for Alec to vent his anger.

Luckily, someone stopped Alec yesterday; otherwise, Negut might be in the hospital today instead of the academy.

Negut and Alec looked at each other. Alec looked at Negut with eyes full of challenge and no fear. Negut frowned; no one knew what he was thinking.

The people around could feel the suffocating tension and the smell of gunpowder. Just a spark and it would explode.

"Hahaha..." Negut smiled friendly, breaking the tense atmosphere: "No, you misunderstood. I was wrong for what happened yesterday; you were right to hit me."

Everyone was so shocked they couldn't believe their ears.

What did Negut just say?

Did he apologise?

He apologised to the person who hit him.

Negut apologised to someone? Even if pigs could climb trees or fish could play trumpets, people wouldn't believe that Negut would apologise to someone, especially the person who hit him.

Is the sky falling? The second apocalypse?

However, the most surprised person was still Alec.

At this moment, Alec's eyes were wide open, looking at Negut full of confusion and surprise. He had prepared for Negut's revenge, or that Negut would bring some high-level survivors to beat him.

In the end... Negut's response to yesterday's incident was an apology.
