I'm A Great Villain So The Author Hates Me

Chapter 47 - First Dungeon (25) End

POV: Asani Martin

"Shouldn't we be hurrying?" I glanced at Solomon, who was walking backward while playing with his splinted arm.

"Why should I? It's a nice day. I'm trying to enjoy it."

"Stop fooling around, Solomon. Didn't you say that you have someone to beat up? The sooner, the better?" Killian responded cooly while glancing at Solomon and then at me.

He had popped up at some point out of the shadows and was casually tagging along as if he had always been there. Seeing as he kept looking at me and glaring, I just minded my business and continued walking.

If he had something to say, he would eventually get it off his chest. Otherwise, it was none of my business.

"Well, I do want to kill him, but there's no need to rush anymore since the other side is feeling more urgent than us. It looks like the barrier is weakening to me. I think somebody left early this morning, and right now, people are attacking it from the outside, see?"

Solomon pointed upward, and as I followed his finger, all I saw was a small cloud quickly dissipating in the wind.

Asani: "......"

Killian: "......"

Lina: "......"

What were we supposed to be looking at exactly?

Nature doing its thing?

At our blank expressions, Solomon sighed pitifully.

"Sigh, this is why I hate untalented people. Blind. The whole lot of you. I'm so disappointed, especially in you. Your eyes are for show." As he pointed at me, I crafted a water gun and shot it at his face.

I'd seen that finger shoot lightning. I wanted it far away from me.

Crafting a small barrier with a shrug of his shoulders to block it, Solom turned around and continued walking.

"Anyway, under the recommendation of someone I will not name, I have decided to come up with a plan for what we're going to do. It's quite great if I do say so myself." Hearing his proud tone, I couldn't help but pop his bubble.

"You mean me?"

"What part of 'will not name' did you not understand? Take the hint."

"I can see that you're feeling quite grumpy, your lordship. Perhaps a scone with jam from your attendant when you get back to the academy? Some fish and chips perhaps? Mushy peas? Yorkshire pudding?" As Solomon glared at me, I laughed lightly, "What exactly is your great plan?"

"You know those fantasy video games we used to play when we were younger. I want to do that. Today, I am the lord and the three of you are my retainers who have to do exactly what I say and call me your lordship just like our black rank student over there. Let's see, Kill is the assassin. Lina is the intelligence officer and useless geek, and the black rank student can be my personal assistant. I, of course, am the amazing lord, the non-glass canon mage, the genius of the century, etc."

"Question." Lina raised her hands as if she was in class again.

"Yes, intelligence officer and useless geek, Meraki? I allow you to speak freely."

"Are you on drugs? Did your parents do drugs before they had you?" Lina asked with a completely serious expression.

I often wondered the same about him. Look at this supposed genius of a man role-playing all by himself in broad daylight while on his way to kill somebody.

If it wasn't drugs, was he just mentally ill?

"They did not, although once I started talking, everyone in my family said they strongly considered it. I, myself, am not on drugs, but I've always wanted to try mana crystal dust. I heard it's a fun experience. You should get me some intelligence Officer Meraki." Solomon began laughing at her expression and Lina simply looked like she was regretting coming along.
