In My Favorite Novel As The Final Villain

After spending some time with Alice, Theos quietly left the room, this time using a barrier to completely cover his body.

He didn't want to build up the image of a pervert either...

But for now, Theos is focused on something paramount: getting Luna not expelled from the Academy for missing so many days of classes.

And he had already prepared a perfect plan for that... Talking to Sophia.

Yes, Theos would negotiate with Sophia to get Luna not expelled, and if necessary, that both she and Alice wouldn't have to live a hectic life at the Academy because of the assignments due to all the respective teachers.

After a few minutes of walking, Theos exited the First Year Female Building, to later head towards the Professors' office, or rather, one of the many professors' offices.

'That's where Sophia should be,' he thought, remembering almost all of Sophia's entire routine in the novel.

Still,l without deactivating the barrier that protected and hid his body, Theos didn't take long until he reached the professor's office.

*Sigh*

Expelling a slight sigh, Theos deactivated the barrier which disappeared, vanishing into Mana particles.

Reaching out, Theos gave the wooden door a couple of knocks.

*Khock* *Khock*

Lowering his hand, Theos waits there, in front of the large wooden door.

'So thick is the door that you can't hear the slightest sound inside,' he thought, feeling inwardly fascinated.

*Squeak*.

The door creaked open, slowly revealing the figure that opened it: a beautiful woman with somewhat peculiar hair, a dark violet as if she had shades of black in her hair, but mostly violet.

She, with vermillion red eyes, stared at Theos in surprise.

"Student Theos?", Sophia called as she saw Theos standing there, motionless.

He didn't stand there motionless because of Sophia's beauty, which although she is very beautiful, especially in that teacher's outfit that accentuates her curves and cleavage more.

He stood still because... He looked at her strangely.

'She all the time is in a bad mood; what changed these days,' Theos thought suspiciously.

With a high affinity for emotions and feelings, he couldn't see anything wrong with Sophia's feelings and emotions there was even a very slight smile playing on her lips.

But Theos forgot one very important detail... And that he remembered the next moment.

'Wait! She shouldn't open the door here in the first place!' he remembered, feeling surprised.

According to the information given by the novel, Sophia would never open the novel, only the other teachers or some guards. She would only open the door in situations that truly merited it.

Based on this, Theos came to two conclusions: Either she already sensed it from a few meters before she arrived, or she decided to open the door herself.

Or a second option, and one that, to Theos, is unknown.

"Hello, Professor Sophia," Theos greeted.

Despite not respecting many people, in front of Sophia, he had to be at least polite. Especially when he now needed something from her.

"What do you want?", Sophia asked lightly, smiling slightly, while her eyes narrowed.

Seeing that Sophia wanted to get straight to the point, possibly taking advantage of the fact that there were no students or teachers around, Theos decided to fulfill her wish.

"Well, since you wish to get to the point, I need something from you," he said, pausing to better think about the words he would say.

He continued. "I have a couple who are having quite a bit of trouble recently... We need to go see their parents to give them a medicine that will be able to destroy the Curse inside them."

Sophia's eyebrows twitched slightly with curiosity and intrigue. Her red lips parted, "Fine, but you know... Here, at The Academy, nothing is free," she said slowly.

That's right, everything at The Academy is paid for, even the smallest thing. However, Theos, being Theos, The Fallen, could skip all this because everyone wanted to curry favor with him.

But who is in front of him? Sophia Bolian is someone who doesn't care in the least about Theos' social standing and status.

At least, she doesn't care in cases of negotiations.

"What do you want?" he asked directly, wanting to end the conversation as quickly as possible.

Sophia touched her chin, pretending to think deeply. "Let me see..." she murmured.

After a while, his eyes lit up. "Okay, I want you to reveal your type of Mana to me," she declared.

"What for?", Theos immediately asked cautiously.

It should be known that, although he will always show his Negative Mana, no one knows of the true origin of the Negative Energy.

Seeing Theos' wariness, Sophia felt a bit satisfied. "It's out of mere curiosity, as I feel that your Mana is vastly more powerful than normal Mana. Even though there are unique Mana much more powerful than Base Mana, your Mana has the most difference between Base Mana."

Sophia's explanation seemed reasonable to Theos, who nodded.

'It was a matter of time before a teacher would ask me this... But fortunately, it was Sophia who asked me, plus thanks to this, I can have a barter', he thought.

Deciding this, he decided to be a little honest with her... Just a little.

"Hm, you see, the Fallen family is world famous for their strength, right?", he continued. "They are strong because of the Fallen blood that runs through their veins. Well, I have some of the purest blood in the Fallen family, even the purest in history. As a consequence, I have a Mana of my blood."

While explaining, Theos held out his hand, opening his palm to reveal a marble-sized sphere of negative energy.

Its strength and power alone were already outstanding.

Sophia's eyes glowed again, however, she frowned. "Are you sure that's all?" she asked again, her tone slightly threatening.

Theos' face did not change, however. He simply nodded, assuring that it was true what he had said.

Though the truth, at least the vast majority of the truth had not been told.

"Okay, I'll believe you," she said, returning to her normal expression.

"Well, will you cover for Luna?" asked Theos all at once.

"No," Sophia's voice boomed all at once without going off on a ramble.

Theos frowned deeply, trying to answer.

But before he could speak, Sophia spoke, "I have one last condition..."

Theos said nothing, but his look and posture were more than clear that he heard her.

Though inside he was cursing her. 'You'll be one of my favorite characters in the novel, but trying to manipulate me with this ... I'm going to get it,' he promised himself.

Seeing that he could speak calmly, Sophia declared, 'I want you to be my student.'

At this statement, Sophia thought that Theos was probably surprised and shocked by this.

However, nothing could have been further from the truth....

He turned around, walking away.

Not before saying a few words that echoed through the office...

"I accept, so, do your part."

Just like that, he was gone, leaving a lonely Sophia there.

Her expression showed not curiosity, indifference, or professionalism, but pure shock and surprise.

After a couple of minutes standing there, she recovered from her surprise.

Looking around, she confirmed that Theos was completely gone and possibly quite far away.

"I turned out to be the one who was petrified of surprise, hahaha," Sophia laughed, her smile wry.

Out of so many reactions, she had thought Theos would have, she never thought in a million years that he would turn around and respond with such coldness.

"Well, maybe he reached his limit when I asked for a second condition," she muttered, making sense of the situation.

After letting out a sigh, she turned around. Automatically the door behind her closed.

Why had she opened the door in the first place? Because she knew Theos' scent, she could sense from a distance that the person approaching the office was him.

Only to people she truly cared about could she remember his smell...

She knew that having a good relationship with Theos was naturally a good way to secure the future.

However, the battle of Camilla vs Theos was an eye-opener... She didn't want to just look back at the great future Theos would have.

She wanted to be in that future; she wanted to help him get better and be part of a possible great story that would be told for centuries or even millennia.

'Well, time to hold up my end of the bargain,' Sophia reminded herself, sitting down in an office chair.

Across from her was a large, state-of-the-art, multi-screen computer on every possible side.

Taking the cup of coffee from her desk, she lifted it to her mouth, taking a small sip.

Setting the cup back down on the desk, she moved her fingers across the various letters on the keyboard at lightning speed, sometimes even using her hands to move from screen to screen.

No doubt, quite a busy day for her...
