Persona, I am the villain and I can do whatever I want

Level LV8→LV9.

Friday, nothing happened...

Level LV9, too much experience required, almost upgraded.

I didn't listen to any of the four classes on Saturday morning.

Afternoon, impression space.

Mitsui Tsubasa clenched the sword in his hand, and the sword light drew out a beautiful dreamlike light, beheading the shadow in front of him in an instant.

The disappearing shadows turned into flames, forcing back nearby enemies.

Taking this opportunity, Mitsui Tsubasa took two steps forward to ensure that all shadows were within the attack range.

"First Emperor!"

With a flash of light, the battle was over.

Having experienced this scene dozens of times in a few days, he has become numb.

Level up!

The First Emperor: LV9 → LV10

五维属性：力23（+7） 魔19（+5） 耐13（+3） 速8（+2） 运12（+2）

HP: 150 → 295

SP: 120 → 200

Acquire new skills: [? ? ? ? ]

The new skill was displayed as a series of question marks. Mitsui Tsubasa felt a little confused, but he had no time to delve into it.

After reaching level 10, he felt a calling from the bottom of his heart, a strong and irresistible force.

This call made him feel both familiar and unfamiliar. He tried hard to recall... This is the power of community!

Following the call, he saw the faceless king sitting high on the imperial bed.

[You have reached a higher level, make a contract. ]

【I am you.】

Wasn't the contract already signed? How could it be...

Mitsui Tsubasa was full of doubts, but he soon noticed that the First Emperor fell silent after saying the first sentence and just stared at him quietly.

An inexplicable intuition flashed through his heart like lightning, and Mitsui Tsubasa seemed to instinctively understand the meaning of the First Emperor's silence.

"You are me."

【Here you gain the response of a brand new desire. 】

[Echo is the blade that breaks free from fate and seeks conquest.]

[I, the Mask of Pride, am reborn and bathed in the glory of the Holy Spirit.]

[Add more help to conquer the mortal world...]

Ink-black flames burst out from Mitsui Tsubasa's body.

As the flames rose, the entire tunnel was illuminated, and the rapidly approaching shadows let out sharp screams and turned to flee.

Mitsui Tsubasa raised his hand and looked at the black flames wrapped around his arm and swaying and burning quietly, and suddenly he had an epiphany.

I can harness this fire...

No, that's not right, this is not fire... this is... arrogance!

[Yes, this is the flame of your heart manifested by your endless arrogance.]

[Remember to use this power with caution, it will hurt everyone around you indiscriminately! ]

[Pride is a sharp blade!!!]

Arrogance is a sharp blade... Mitsui Tsubasa pondered this sentence over and over in his mind, then waved his arm.

The raging flames in the sky rolled back and gathered on the boy's sword in his hand.

A long sword surrounded by dark flames was quietly held in his palm, and the surrounding space was distorted by the surging heat waves.

"I understand!"

Mitsui Tsubasa waved the flaming sword wildly, as happy as a child who got his favorite toy.

"This is—SHOW TIME!"

Chapter 33: I will eventually embark on the road of no return called villain

'SHOW TIME'

With a low roar in his heart, Mitsui Tsubasa's hands burst out with violent and surging black flames that were unstoppable like a volcanic eruption.

Doujiqiri transformed into a several-meter-long pitch-black giant sword in the rising flames, sweeping through the group of shadows with a huge swirling sword force.

The blazing black flames licked the shadows greedily like a hungry beast.

Roar--!

Sharp roars and screams rang out at the same time.

The shadows that were hit either disintegrated into pieces or rolled on the ground screaming.

Mitsui Tsubasa was kindhearted and could not bear to see the Shadows suffer, so he mercifully sent them to reunite with their relatives and friends.

After the battle, he looked at Doujikiri, which had shrunk into a pitch-black sword, and seemed to have realized something.

No matter how hard he urged it, the pitch-black flames could not increase.

[Have you noticed... Now the flame of your heart is still weak. Continue to improve your strength, or achieve achievements in the real world that can match this arrogance. Only then will your flame become stronger until it sweeps everything.]

Mitsui Tsubasa nodded and took the remaining flames back into his body.

Showing fire before engaging the shadows will only scare them away.

However, this also has an advantage...it makes the journey home easier.

Mitsui Tsubasa ignited a ball of flame and held it in his hand like an Olympic torchbearer. The shadows he met on the way hesitated and dared not come forward, allowing him to easily return to the entrance.

Open the Status panel to view.

HP is still sufficient, but SP is empty again...

It's already five o'clock, let's go back to the real world and have dinner.

Go to bed directly after eating, after all, sleep is the best way to restore SP.

After waking up, it’s time to take the first step to save the world.

Offering [Cognitive Modification] to this world on the verge of destruction!

After returning to reality and finishing the necessary chores, Mitsui Tsubasa sent a message to Kotetsu.

Mitsui Tsubasa: "Kotetsu, send me the information of the teachers and classmates of Class 2-A."

Kotetsu: "Received, young master."

After setting the alarm for six hours, Mitsui Tsubasa put on an eye mask and earplugs and lay down on the bed.

His mind was filled with images of dark flames burning, the smile on his face never faded, and he soon fell into a deep sleep.

……

“Ding ding ding”

The alarm rang, and Mitsui Tsubasa suddenly opened his eyes, only to see darkness.

After being in a daze for a while, he finally regained consciousness.

Using his legs to push himself up, Mitsui Tsubasa sat up from the bed and stretched his body.

Move your arms and the soreness is bearable.

Let's get started.

Taking out his cell phone, he downloaded the attachment sent by Kotetsu and began to look through it carefully.

The information of all the teachers and classmates in Class 2-A is here, and there is a brief evaluation next to each person's name.

In the heart of Oiwa River, Kento Kamikusa, Chiharu Arai...

Mitsui Tsubasa's heart sank, something was wrong.

Who are these people related to each other... He has only met them for a few days and has not paid special attention to the movements of the NPCs, so these names and faces don't match at all!

That's not right, he didn't remember the faces of the NPCs at all, so in the whole class he only knew Niijima Makoto...

But, maybe it doesn’t matter, the reviews seem to be very ordinary.

If you think about it carefully, there must be some NPCs that left a deeper impression on you, Mitsui Tsubasa counted on his fingers in confusion.

"Oh, that Kyoko. No, it's the long-haired girl who's always called Kyoko Kyoko. Is her name Yui? Yui?"

"Wataya Yui, found it!"

The reason why I have an impression of her is that this girl is so noisy and is an active member in the class.

She is the first target, and then... there is no Mona detector here.

Let's give it a try.

"Impression space, start!"

Different World Navigation App: "Destination matched, navigation started."

Entering the impression space, try this next.

"Wataya Yui, Class 2-A, Shujin Private Academy, Navigation."

Different World Navigation App: "The target is found in the current area and navigation begins."

It worked!

Mitsui Tsubasa was delighted and looked at his phone.

"Drip...drip..."

The cell phone made a slow and regular beeping sound, and this scene made Mitsui Tsubasa feel familiar.

He thought carefully...

Is it a metal detector?

The closer you get to the target, the faster the sound becomes?

Give it a try.

Mitsui Tsubasa quickly packed up his supplies, a ball of dark flame ignited in his hand, and he ran in the impression space.

"Drip...drip..."

In the dim tunnel, the firelight tore through the thick darkness, casting swaying shadows on the walls.

The twisted and grotesque black shadows fled in all directions, leaving a wide path for Mitsui Tsubasa.

“Ding ding… ding ding…”

As the phone's notification sounds became more and more urgent, Mitsui Tsubasa's nerves became more tense.

The goal is nearby. What would a 'shadow self' that is not distorted by desire look like?

Following the instructions on his phone, Mitsui Tsubasa came to a seemingly ordinary wall.

As he got closer, deep red cracks began to appear on the wall, and the wall began to wriggle and collapse inward, soon forming a mysterious door that flickered with a faint red light.

Mitsui Tsubasa took a deep breath and walked in cautiously.

I saw a human-shaped shadow that was exactly the same as myself in real life.

Her appearance was ordinary, so it's better not to mention it. She was wearing casual clothes and looked more lively than when she was in school.
