I Regress if the Villainess Dies! Chapter 41: Chapter 40 Things the Game Never Showed

‘Xian... Carmillia’s butler... Just who are you?’ By the time she worked on the front lines, two years had already passed since graduating from the academy, and she spent another three under Adrian. Being here right now after regressing didn’t do much to help her remember famous figures, but she definitely hadn’t heard of someone like him. If he can surpass her raw power even after employing the techniques she learned over the course of her life, then he should be someone famous and known in her past life. Someone like him could’ve been a key combat figure in the war. ‘Hm, or maybe he did enter the academy with Carmillia, then disappeared. But this time, why didn’t he? What a nuisance.’ She thought about whether her regression and actions had done anything to cause that, but it was too unlikely, since she had just regressed yesterday. ‘It doesn’t matter. What I need to do doesn’t change, and if he or that creepy vine user, Carmillia, tries to cross me, they’re gonna get a taste of their own medicine. Actually, why don’t I provoke them already and kick their ass?’ “Alright, this will be the last assessment, kids. Stand up and do everything you can to keep standing!” As she was deep in thought, the ranking announcement finished, and George told everyone to prepare for the third assessment. “Oh, right, there was a test like this.” Cas thumped the side of her clenched fist into her palm. She immediately inhaled a deep breath and closed her eyes to focus. “Hm? You know the third test, Cas?” the girl from earlier asked, seeing her friend act so cautiously. Cas stared at this friend of hers. She didn’t even remember her name anymore, but she knew her as a good kid, although she quickly dropped out after getting bullied by some fellows from the Common and Royal Classes. “If you can’t hold on, you can lean on me.” In a way, this was her way of repaying her kindness for the time they shared. What was coming might be a shock to everyone here, and even she herself had fallen in a mere second back then. The ten men behind George began surrounding the students and drew their swords, planting the tips into the ground as if assuming a stance. “I’m warning y’all now, try to hang on for your dear life.” George grinned as a faint orange light began to emanate from his body. Soon, the orange light formed lines connecting him to the ten other men, and they similarly began releasing the same strange light. ‘Here it comes. Humanity’s attempt to mimic and fight against Agrind beasts.’ Castreyja knew of this formation and had even participated in something similar herself. Back then, just like this professor, Adrian had been their core, and she had been one of the ‘points’ that made up their formation. Still, their efforts hadn’t been enough. ‘Adrian… He had all the potential to become the greatest. Those bastards kept him on a tight leash, sent him there with us to die, and abandoned him in the end.’ Bubbling rage suddenly stirred in her chest, and though very faint, a wisp of red light began to seep upward from her body. ... George's gaze briefly shifted toward the crimson wisp. ‘What an interesting girl.’ George felt it even while maintaining the Aura formation and enduring the persistent pain of wounds that refused to heal. The latter was already showing signs of Aura usage, which was inconceivable if you only looked at her seemingly untrained build. “Here goes, kids.” The pressure that had been building spread evenly across the students. Each man he brought could roughly suppress six to eight students at a time, but any more than that and the pressure would become uneven. With him as the core, however, the pressure could be maintained and distributed equally. “Steel yourselves and remember, this is what you will face out there… The reason why this academy still exists!” A weight suddenly bore down on the students. Some began to sweat profusely, some screamed and cried, while a few had already fainted face-first onto the ground. The formation was
