Author Reincarnated as Villain

"Look who we met, the Black family and the White family. The two families that have become a laughing stock lately."

Hearing the tone of voice from a distance, Van even suddenly felt disgusted despite not knowing who was speaking.

His hoarse voice made the ears of the person who heard it suddenly become uncomfortable. His tone of voice was always condescending and insulting.

Van turned around and saw a middle-aged man with pale skin, shoulder-length black hair, and violet eyes.

Looking at the person in front of him, Van finally recognized him.

The head of the Veno family, Zeno Veno.

The Veno family was a Viscount noble family in the Kingdom of Avalon. Although only Viscount-level nobles, the power of the Veno family was unstoppable.

The Veno family was the only family that specialized in poisons.

Poison. One of the most terrifying elements. It doesn't kill instantly, but it kills by torturing over a long period of time.

Even noble families with the title of Duke such as the Black, White, and others did not want to fight the Veno family.

"Shut up, Zeno. Cowards like you who prefer to play poison are not fit to judge us." Uncle Felix said coldly.

"Khukhukhu the head of the White family seems very unhappy with my presence." Zeno replied with a chuckle. "Are you afraid?"

Hearing that question, Uncle Felix's eyes immediately narrowed.

*BOOM

A terrible pressure enveloped the banquet hall.

'[Aura]!' Van thought as he saw white smoke rising from Uncle Felix's body.

Although Uncle Felix only directed his [Aura] towards Zeno, but the remaining [Aura] that leaked out could still suppress the entire banquet hall.

Moreover, Van who was very close to Uncle Felix was the one who felt the pressure the most.

In the blink of an eye, Van felt like a mountain had suddenly fallen on his body. His legs trembled as he tried hard not to fall.

The others were also like Van in that they felt a very strong pressure on them.

'This is just like what Sebastian did in the servant's room!' Arthur thought as he tried his best not to fall.

As for Oliver and Olivia, they had already fallen to their knees because their physical strength was not enough.

*WHIISH

A barrier appeared and enveloped the Black family.

Van, who was inside the barrier, immediately felt the burden on his body disappear. Van even felt his [Mana] and strength recovering quickly.

Van turned around and saw Mother who was at the center of the barrier channeling her [Mana] so that this barrier would continue to survive.

Van then turned around to see the dispute between Uncle Felix and Zeno that was still continuing.

Zeno, who felt Uncle Felix's [Aura], certainly wouldn't stay silent.

*BOOM

Zeno also emitted his own light green [Aura].

The two [Auras] collided and produced a strong wind.

The people in the banquet hall also began to defend in their own way.

'So this is [Aura].' Van thought with narrowed eyes.

Although Van had lived 11 years, this was the first time he had seen [Aura].

[Mana] is a spiritual element that cannot be seen with the eyes.

However, when a person's [Mana] control is high enough, then he will master the [Aura].

Therefore, [Aura] is also often referred to as the physical form of [Mana].

Everyone's [Mana] color is different and the color of one's [Aura] follows the color of [Mana].

[Aura] can produce very strong pressure like what Uncle Felix and Zeno just did.

In addition, [Aura] can also be used to coat the surface of weapons or body parts. The principle is the same as [Mana], but there is a significant difference.

[Mana] only dealt external damage, but [Aura] could deal both external and internal damage.

"Ugh, what a monster." muttered one of the knights while narrowing his eyes.

"Enough."

A loud shout echoed throughout the banquet hall and was followed by a yellow [Aura].

Sensing the yellow [Aura], Uncle Felix and Zeno frowned in displeasure.

But in the end, they still stopped emitting their [Aura].

After Uncle Felix and Zeno stopped, the yellow [Aura] also subsided.

After that, Van saw the barrier protecting them finally disappear.

Van then looked around and realized that there were no knocked over tables, cracked floors, and the like.

'The coolies who built this castle must be professional coolies.' Van thought.

"Felix White, Zeno, what are you doing?"

Van turned around and saw a middle-aged knight walking towards the two with a grim face.

His 2 meter tall muscular body and face full of scars really put pressure on everyone.

'SS rank knight, Bellion Marshal.' Van thought when he saw him.

In this world, the rank of royal knights went from C to SSS and in Bellion who now appeared before Van was the strongest knight of the Kingdom of Avalon.

'As I recall, Sebastian is also an SS ranked royal knight, right?' Van thought and turned around.

At that moment, Van realized that Sebastian had not appeared inside the banquet hall since they arrived.

"Nothing, Sir Bellion. It's just a brief greeting." replied Uncle Felix with a light smile.

"Hmmph." Knight Bellion only snorted lightly and turned away. "Be careful. Don't spoil this banquet."

"As you wish, Sir." replied Uncle Felix and Zeno.

Then, the banquet continued while waiting for the appearance of the royal family.

The dispute between Uncle Felix and Zeno was just a minor episode at this banquet. After all, things like this often happened at the [Royal Banquet].

At the moment, Van was just leaning in a corner with Arthur while watching the people around him.

"What do you think, Master?" asked Arthur.

"What do you mean?" asked Van flatly although in his mind he was confused by Arthur's question, but his face was not in favor of expression.

"I mean, did anything catch your eye?" asked Arthur with a faint smile.

"Nothing, but the children of the big family caught my attention. They're the ones we'll meet at the Academy later." Van replied.

"Academy? It seems to start next month if I remember correctly?" muttered Arthur.

The Academy.

As the name suggests, a place to learn.

In the Kingdom of Avalon, children aged 11 would start entering the Academy and graduate after 7 years of study.

There, children learn to grow stronger in hopes of becoming the future of the Kingdom of Avalon.

However, what caught Van's attention were the events that would take place at the Academy a few years later, right when Oliver and Olivia entered the Academy.

Van would already be in his fourth year when the two of them entered the Academy.

For 3 safe years without any dangerous incidents, Van would utilize the Academy to train to become stronger.

"Who are we going to kill at the Academy, Master?" asked Arthur with an innocent face.

Hearing Arthur's question, Van finally realized that he needed someone with an attitude that Arthur didn't have.

'I NEED A NORMAL SERVANT!
