《A Side Villain’s Ballad.》015 Pre-test

Advertisement

Arrieta looked at Neidr's papers and let out a laugh,

"In the future, I shall call you sir Hyll!"[Arrieta] she scratched her head and said, "but I don't take you for the knightly type really. Scandalous rogue? Perhaps."[Arrieta] Neidr asked in surprise,

When did my reputation fall so low?"[Neidr] Arrieta shrugged her shoulders and said,

"A knight would have righteously saved the damsel, you just told me to poison and beat my roommate into submission. These are not even close?" [Arrieta]Neidr nodded and said,

"I see, so like the kid who rushed to save the princess?"[Neidr] Arrieta nodded her head in agreement, then cocked it to the side,

"princess? Lizzy is a merchant's daughter, not a princess."[Arrieta] Liam coughed and said,

"it's an expression."[Neidr]

"Its not a very good one."[Arrieta] Neidr shook his head and said,

"No, you're just too silly to understand."[Neidr]

"Am not!"[Arrieta] Arrieta crossed her arms and said,

"I hope your swordsmanship training makes you more knightly, don't you know how to be nice to women?"[Arrieta] Neidr nodded and said,

"Ok, I'll make sure and ask that kid that rescued the princess, he's knightly, right? I'm sure I have a lot to learn."[Neidr] Arrieta stamped her foot and said,

"Only be nice to good women!"[Arrieta] Neidr raised his eyebrows and asked,

"Are you saying you're a good woman?"[Neidr] Arrieta's mouth turned into the shape of an egg as she said in shock,

"Are you saying that I'm not?"[Arrieta] Neidr stared at her in silence for a moment.

"Make sure to sign up for classes," [Neidr]after saying his piece, Neidr walked away. Arrieta began hollering at him, but he became deaf to it pretty quickly keeping his pace.

"Get back here, you goon!

Ya wanna fight?

I'll beat ya silly!

I'll show you a good woman dammit!" [Arrieta]

By the time Neidr had made it back to his room, it was already occupied. Liam stood on guard with, holding pink bags filled with gold. Biting his lower lip, he stared at the door. His uneasy expression soon was replaced by surprise,

"It's you?"[Liam] Neidr didn't bother responding to him. Instead, he crawled into his bed, closed his eyes and said,

"You should go buy your things,"[Neidr] Neidr pulled a notebook out of his new black trench coat and hurled it at Liam. Without missing a beat, Liam caught it and cast a strange look at Neidr,

"What is this?"[Liam] Neidr turned to look at him and rolled his eyes,

"Do you know how to read? It is a list of useful materials and where to buy them. Don't act like you don't have any money, the princess seems to have set you up." [Neidr]

"She's a princess?"[Liam] Liam said with some shock, Neidr coughed and said,

"No... It's an expression." [Neidr]Liam was silent for a moment, seemingly conflicted, he spoke after a long pause,

"Did you, make this for me?"[Liam] Liam let out a small laugh and said,

"No, it's a keepsake, from the guy who lived her before you."[Neidr] Liam's eyebrows drew together, he questioned sternly,

"What happened to your last roommate?"[Liam] Liam shook his head and said,

"One day he was here, the next, whoosh, he was gone." [Neidr]Liam took a deep breath and asked,

"How do you feel about peasants?"[Liam] Neidr quirked an eyebrow and a sly smile grew on his face,

"Why?"[Neidr] Liam clenched his fists and said,

"They say that you ki..."[Liam] Interrupting him, Neidr said,

"They say a lot of things, I find its best not to make enemies because of mere gossip." [Neidr]Liam looked down at his feet for a moment, but soon regained his momentum,

"Then why did you just watch as Lizzy was beaten? How could a good person do that?" [Liam] Neidr sat up and looked at Liam. He did not speak, instead opting to stare at the young man for a few minutes, waiting for Liam to break eye contact. However, Liam never did. Neidr shook his head and replied,

"You're making one mistake, I never said I was a good person. I just don't want to deal with schemes when I rest my head."[Neidr] Neidr pointed towards the notebook and said, "That's my appeasement. Now, don't bother me."[Neidr] Neidr laid back down, leaving Liam to stew. He shut his eyes and slept peacefully. For about two hours. Hearing a sonorous voice in his mind, Neidr shoot out of bed, his face pulled down as far as it would naturally go. Neidr listened to the announcement with a deep frown.

"Although, not all of our new students have signed up for classes, it is time for a pretest. This will decide at what level you will be taught... or if you will be taught at all. Remember these three rules, they are essential to your pretest. Survive, Strive, Sever! You will face a series of challenges, your only objective is to get to the end! Simple right? Well, not everyone can pass this thing ya know? A good institution has to weed out the bad students, you know? Have fun!" [Grumpy old man]Neidr's mood, which was already bad, just got considerably worse. It wasn't so much the pre-test, he knew it was coming. No, the voice has had its voice range artificially changed to be indeterminable. Despite that, Neidr had a pretty good idea who the announcer was. Thinking about that person pissed him off naturally. Just hearing the phrase, 'you know' considerably increased his blood pressure.

Neidr did not have the time to get angry, though, his vision went blank. After a moment his back was cold from the earth, he could hear the dripping of water in the distance, but all he could see was a perfectly cylindrical space surrounded by packed earth. This small room had a diameter of three feet and no obvious way out.

You could say Neidr had been buried alive.
