Appease the male lead

"Oswald, you asshole." Bidziil glared at the figure on the floor, unrestrained. He wished he could just kick this asshole into the pit.

Bidziil heaved angrily, hating the fact that his archfoe was back again to torment his beautiful life in this world.

Poor CEO BZ believed he had parted away from this archenemy of his permanently, only to realize that this enemy of his was here again. Just how did he offend Oswald in his previous lifetimes, Ah!

Caesar pulled the aggrieved Bidziil back with a stunned look, "Silly, what did you mean by Oswald? Are you getting dumb again? This is Young Master Inti." Caesar whispered, which made the aggrieved Bidziil's eyes widen in incredulity.

That person the previous host had been running after was his archenemy? Can someone be more foolish? How can two Bidziil be opposite, while that damn Oswald in the two worlds were the same? To think that Bidziil was running after this jerk of all?

Presently, Inti's expression was darker than anything Bidziil had seen in his lifetime, and upon seeing that dark glare on Inti's face, a pompous smile blossomed on Bidziil's face and he recalled a memory.

On the first day of high school in his previous world, Bidziil had mistakenly slept late. While running to class, he mistakenly collided with someone, but before he could fall on that person, that person ruthlessly kicked him far away from him. And that person! Yes, that person is unmistakably Bidziil's archfoe: Oswald.

However, in this world, Bidziil had won over easily and fell on his archenemy, making him more joyful.

Bidziil stuck out his pink tongue smugly, making Inti more annoyed at the unbothered Bidziil.

'Finally, I knocked you out. So what? If it hurts you? Good for…'

'Alert. Alert 10 points had been deducted. Anymore, the host will become mute for thirty minutes.'

(…) What the hell is this? Bidziil furrowed his brows in bewilderment.

This was the second time he had heard the alert. He let out a gasp upon realizing something; did he come into this world with that stupid thing called a system?

'Host needs to be careful. Lord System is not to be disrespected.' The mechanical voice sounded in his mind again.

(…)

However, before Bidziil could give a response, the potbellied principal of Sky High had caught up with the unruly black kids of the school.

The sky-high principal is a man with average and fat features with a strict look on his face. He was secretly called an octopus. He held a walking stick and pointed at the unbothered four, his potbellied stomach quivering.

"Good. You four are really capable. Not only did you fail and take the last four positions during the school test last week, but you decided to ruin the school's orderly atmosphere by lighting up fireworks on Monday morning, while including the school's pride in your trouble." The principal raged at the unruly four while pointing at Inti, the school pride, who had just stood up from the ground with distress.

Bidziil almost feared that the principal was Inti's nanny.

"Unruly student, come with me." The angry principal beckoned at the four, including Bidziil, the innocent one.

Bidziil scratched his black hair sourly, "Uhm Principal, why am I included?" He didn't even light up any fireworks! He was also surprised.

The principal immediately glared at him, which made him shrink back.

The previous Bidziil was famous for being unruly and careless, so naturally, the principal didn't believe that Bidziil was innocent. Instead, he believed that Bidziil was challenging his authority. "Punishment addition." The principal muttered and turned away.

(…) Bidziil's shoulder drooped. The people in this world are really crazy.

A smiling Hattie grabbed Bidziil's hand gently with worries on her face.

Seeing the worried Hattie, Bidziil's grievances diffused immediately, and he smiled amidst the chaos. "I'll be fine because I'm strong." Bidziil boasted and patted his chest confidently, which brought a smile to Hattie's face.

The thought of Hattie not being lovestruck by that devilish face and body of Oswald made Bidziil's tail quirk up. After dying, he finally found the one for him.

Without care of the punishment he'll be facing in a few minutes from now, Bidziil began to follow the principal, Inti, Caesar, Stark, and Kendrick with his head held high after waving at Hattie.

Inti arched his brows when he saw Bidziil ignore him for Hattie. Has this fool finally learned after his rejection, or is this a way to attract his attention?

Kendrick nudged the whistling Bidziil as they all made their way to the principal's office, "You. You don't care?" Kendrick raised his chin to point at the aloof Inti who was walking beside the headmaster.

"Am I blind? Why will I care about that asshole?" He blurted out.

'Alert. Alert 1 minute had been deducted. The host will become a mute in the next thirty minutes.'

'Wait? What did you mean, I'll become a mute?' Bidziil asked in a panic.

'Stupid host, that's what you should have asked in the beginning.' The system's pompous reply sounded in Bidziil's mind.

"Really?" Came his three friends' unruly amused reply. They all stole a look at Inti, but the person looked calm and nonchalant.

Bidziil parted his mouth. _Of course, can't you see? He's such a jerk, and he had a heart that's as black as charcoal_

Even though that's what the spirited Bidzill wanted to say, his mouth ended up not saying anything, to his horror.

He was basically mute, like the mechanical voice said.

"Why aren't you speaking?" Stark stared at Bidziil skeptically. After all, they were yet to believe that Bidziil's love for Inti had disappeared into the wind just like that!

_What did you mean I'm not speaking? Do you think I'm not speaking?_ However, despite all he tried to say, nothing ended up emitting from his lips.

"Is this a new trick?" An amused Kendrick asked.

Who's playing a new trick? You are the one playing a trick! Your whole family is the one playing a trick!_ An infuriated Bidziil yelled out in his mind.

Bidziil touched his mouth and yelled at the Lord system in his mind. 'You. Why can't anyone hear me? What did you do to me?' Bidziil yelled out in horror.

'I did nothing to host. The host is facing the consequences of the host's actions.' Said the mechanical voice of the system.

'What did you mean? Explain everything to me one after the other?' Bidziil yelled in his mind.

'After host collapsed at the national competition, host's body failed host, which left host's soul without a body. Because of that, system had to find a compatible body for host to take over, so host was sent into this compatible body to take over.'

'Oh. Then, how does that relate to my current situation?'

'Host as a foreign body won't be able to stay long in this world, so host has to win point enough, so host can return to his real body.' The system explained making Bidziil's eyes light up.

'It is possible to return to my real body?' Bidziil's eyes shone with excitement.

'Yes.'

''Then how can I win enough points?' CEO Bidzill queried.

'Appease the male lead.'

'Appease the male lead? Who's the male lead?' Bidziil rubbed his palms together, eager for action. Isn't it to please? As a genius businessman, that's easy-peasy for him. It's just a matter of a few days…

'Young Master Inti.'

(….) Bidziil's eyes narrowed in anger. He, appeases that asshole?

'Forget it.' he blurted in anger and the system fell silent.

'Did host want to know host's position in the national hackathon?' the system suddenly asked.

'Isn't that second?' he replied blandly.

'No. The female host wanted to tease everyone. Unfortunately, host was so agitated, he fainted on the spot before he knew the truth. The truth is host took the first position.'

(….)
