Hans rode his motorcycle. At the end of spring, Italy looked especially beautiful, and the warm climate only heightened that atmosphere.After riding around a bit more, he turned toward the school where his younger sister studied. There was nothing else to do anyway, so why not pick her up and spend some time together.
After riding around a bit more, he turned toward the school where his younger sister studied. There wasn't anything else for him to do anyway, so why not pick her up and spend some time with her?
Honestly, he even felt a little ashamed — living under the same roof and not seeing Lilith for two days already.Well, it wasn't really his fault. He'd just been on a two-day binge.
That's how it went: the guards would drive him home, and Hans would usually pass out on the way. By the time he woke up, Lilith was already at school. And when she got back, he'd head out drinking again.
Pulling up to the school gates, he stopped, took off his helmet, and lit a cigarette. He really just wanted to pick up his sister and have a bit of fun with her… but his calm didn't last long.
«Hey, this isn't a parking spot. Only people picking up students are allowed to stop here.»
His smoke break was interrupted by a beautiful purple-haired girl with violet eyes. Her hair was cut in a neat bob, and she was dressed in a martial arts uniform, practically radiating righteousness and justice.
Her figure was quite something: her chest wasn't very large, but perfectly proportioned. And if you looked a little lower… her hips could easily be called a true work of art — soft and full.
On top of that, she wore several purple accessories… and her uniform was purple too. Honestly, there was probably a bit too much purple in this girl.
But no matter how you looked at it, she was a real beauty.
«Oh, really? Didn't know that. Well then, I'll finish my smoke, wait for one cutie, and be on my way,» there was open sarcasm in his voice.

[Skills]Martial Arts — Student, Reaction — Student, Physical Conditioning — Student, Combat Intuition — Novice… and many others.
Damn… those are some skills for a girl that young. She's got talent, no question about it.But what kind of passive is that… "Psycho"? Is that an official diagnosis or a bonus?
Hans pressed his lips together, his shoulders trembling slightly.Don't laugh… don't laugh… not now…
He turned away, pretending to look off to the side, but the corners of his lips were already betraying him, creeping upward.
«No, seriously… "Psycho"…» he muttered under his breath.
At that moment, he nearly lost it, barely holding himself back from bursting out laughing in the middle of the street.
«What's so funny?» — of course she noticed. And it wasn't exactly hard to miss — he was being "subtle" about it in the least subtle way possible.
He really tried… he really did. But "Psycho" as a passive skill? That was just too much.
That's when he finally snapped and let his inner beast loose — laughing out loud, openly and sincerely.
[Event recorded]The main heroine's pride has been hurt.
[Reward: +100 Villain Points]
[System Comment]A good start.
«Is it really that funny?»
She slowly stepped forward, fixing him with a cold, piercing gaze.
«Want to say it again? I'd like to laugh too.»
Her fist clenched ever so slightly.
«Or maybe you'll explain what exactly amused you so much?»
«Well, Viola… I just remembered an old joke.»
He tilted his head slightly, as if taking a closer look at her.
«Though now that I think about it… there's nothing to laugh at.»
His lips curled into a faint smile.
«Girls like you aren't usually laughed at. People fall for them. Instantly.»
His gaze shamelessly slid downward, lingering a bit longer than it should have.
«Though, I'll admit… some of your "assets" speed up the process quite a bit.»
«What kind of nonsense are you spouting?! You… you!.. YOU!!!»
She stepped forward sharply, breath catching with outrage. Her fists clenched, nails digging into her palms. She wanted—painfully so—to teach this bastard a lesson. For everything. For his words, for his audacity.
No one in her life had ever treated her this brazenly. Her anger hit its limit.
[Event recorded]The main heroine is крайне outraged.
[Reward: +100 Villain Points]
Oh, more points. Hans was genuinely pleased. He had no idea when he'd meet the main hero… but honestly, why would he even need one when there was such a beautiful heroine right here, someone he could tease endlessly?
Because of the shouting near the gates and their argument, other students had already started gathering. But Hans didn't pay them any attention — unlike Violetta, who clearly didn't want this kind of spotlight.
«Is that… Violetta? Is she seriously arguing with someone?»
«Just look at that guy… he's either insane or a genius.»
«First time I've ever seen her this angry…»
«Did he just come at her? Right to her face?..»
«He's dead. Seriously, he's dead.»
«But he's still alive.»
«Not for long.»
«Do you… do you even realize what you just said?..»
Her voice trembled — not from fear, but from fury.
She had already thrown her fist straight at Hans's face, but he dodged with ease. She was talented, sure… but there was no way she could surpass him in skill. He had all the same abilities she did — only his hand-to-hand combat level was far higher. Dodging her attack was nothing.
As soon as he evaded, he caught her, shifted her center of gravity, and flipped her over, pinning her against the frame of the motorcycle. The position turned out rather revealing… but he angled her in such a way that only he could really enjoy the view.
«HE JUST… FLIPPED HER?!»
«Is that even legal?..»
«I wanna be in her place.»
Hearing that last comment, Hans twitched. If it had been a girl — maybe fine… but damn, it was a guy. All he could do was pretend he hadn't heard it. If he weren't busy right now, he might've already smashed his face in… but there were more important matters.
«Let me go… RIGHT NOW!»
Her voice was stretched tight, her cheeks slightly flushed — whether from anger or the situation itself.
«Do you even realize what you're doing, idiot?!»
«Obviously you attacked first, and I was just defending myself. So technically, I'm the victim here. And until you apologize, you'll stay right there, pinned.»
«WHAT?! I'm the one who has to apologize?! Are you out of your mind?!… Let me go. Now!»
[Event recorded]The main heroine is in a state of intense outrage.
[Reward: +100 Villain Points]
She kept struggling in that position, but to no avail — no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't break free. Her aggressive shouting only added to the noise around them. It could've gone on like this for a while… but Hans was already getting bored.
He suddenly reached out and gave her a firm smack on the backside.
The sound was loud.
And in that very moment, a strange, almost unnatural silence fell over the scene.
«Did he just do that?..»
«I… I can't believe what I'm seeing.»
«A-ah… that's actually kind of… hot…» a girl's voice slipped out quietly from somewhere.
«LET ME GO, YOU PIECE OF TRASH!»
She jerked again, ignoring her own helplessness.
«In front of everyone… do you even realize what you've done?!»
[Event recorded]The main heroine has suffered public humiliation.
[Reward: +200 Villain Points]
«I said — I demand an apology. Until you do, you'll stay right there. And if you keep struggling — you'll get another smack on the ass,» he said with a cheerful smile, clearly enjoying the situation.
She couldn't take it anymore — she was on the verge of tears. Such humiliation… such a disgusting situation. What was she even guilty of? He was the one who provoked her first.
Why was he so strong?.. She could normally knock out someone his size with a single blow… but him… he was completely different.
Too confident. Too dominant.
«P-please… forgive m-me… let me go… I'm begging you…»
She actually apologized.She couldn't even believe she was saying it. But right now, she wanted only one thing — to run as far away as possible… to hide, to crawl somewhere deep where no one would ever see her.
[Event recorded]The main heroine has reached the brink of an emotional breakdown.
[Additional Reward: +200 Villain Points]
«P-please… f-forgive me… let me go… please…»
She really did apologize.
She still couldn't believe the words coming out of her mouth. But all she wanted now was to escape… to disappear somewhere far away.
«See? That wasn't so hard. Just apologize, and that's it.»
Hans said it in an almost noble tone, as if he had just punished some sinner. He didn't continue the humiliation and simply let her go… though, of course, he couldn't resist squeezing out a few more points — and smacked her on the backside once more as she stood up.

[Reward: +100 Villain Points]
«Y-you shameless bastard!.. I won't let this slide!!!» she shouted and turned sharply to run away. She couldn't take it anymore.
It was too much. He treated her like some kind of whore…
After such humiliation, it felt like she'd never be able to look people in the eyes again.
Heh… maybe I went a bit too far. Though her affinity went up, so… maybe she even liked it. She just doesn't realize it yet.
Well, whatever… I'll apologize to her later. On a date, maybe. With her new personality trait and my skills… there's no way she'll refuse.
So, what do you think, system?

[System Comment]Access to source material events obtained.Plotline updating in real time.
Hans didn't even have time to process it before a flood of information about this hero and his heroines hit him all at once.
Heh… now it makes sense why he's so pissed. Turns out, Violetta is his childhood friend — the one he trained so hard for, just to prove he's not weak. And he's in love with her… one-sided.
Well, of course… according to the plot, she'll fall for him anyway. Along with another heroine. There are only two of them, it seems…
Tch… what a loser. I thought every hero had at least five or six girls.
[System intervention]Statement incorrect.
[Data]Most main heroes have only one or several romantic interests.In rare cases — none at all.
[System Comment]Your expectations are too high.
Yeah, like I care…
If there are more heroes, there'll be more heroines too. So… it's all good.
«System… so you're basically a real cheat. Handing out this much information for free.»
«I'm actually glad I've got you… And I'm not even mad there wasn't a newbie bonus.»
…Well, almost not mad.
«That's… Luca, right?»
«The same guy who used to be that quiet nerd?..»
«He's late…»
«Just look at him… he's seriously pissed.»
«O-oh… this is gonna turn into a fight.»
«Why's he so worked up anyway?..»
«Isn't it obvious? He's got a crush on Violetta.»
«Seriously?..»
«Yeah. The whole school knows… except her.»
«That's rough.»
«He's the type who can't even confess properly.»
«He's seriously pathetic… his girl just got groped and he couldn't even help her.»

«Shut up! Don't you dare talk about Violetta like that!»
«Oh look, the hero finally woke up…»«And what are you gonna do? Hit me? How scary…»
The argument dragged on and on… long enough for Hans to casually pull out a cigarette, light it, and start enjoying the show.
In the end, it went exactly as expected — Luca snapped and beat up a few of the bullies, scattering the crowd.
[Event recorded]The main hero has damaged his reputation at school.
[Effect]Fate Points: -200
[Reward: +400 Villain Points]
Looking at the interface, Hans didn't even know how to react. He hadn't expected dealing with this main hero to be this easy.
What would happen if I pushed things further?..
If I touched Violetta again… or kissed her?..
Or… something more?..
And who's going to stop me?.. This clown?
Considering the state that purple girl is in… I wouldn't even need a week.
Besides, I know quite a few interesting things about her… and it's definitely not about her favorite color.
Basically… she's an open book to me.
«Was it you who harassed Violetta?! How dare you?!»
Finally, the so-called villain turned his attention to the main hero — Luca. Fairly tall, around one-eighty, muscular and good-looking… well, at least not donkey-faced.
Though compared to Hans — still two heads shorter. Hans was nearly two meters tall, just a few centimeters shy… and looked far more imposing.
Hans pointed a finger at himself.
«Me? Harass someone? Nah, definitely wasn't me.»
«Not you? Then why the hell are you even here?!» Luca was clearly confused. If it wasn't him… then who? There wasn't anyone else around with a motorcycle.
«To pick up my little sister. I just got here and have no idea what everyone's been talking about,» Hans lied so naturally that even the guys who had just been fighting Luca could've believed him… let alone this naïve idiot.
«Really?.. Then… sorry for yelling at you,» he scratched the back of his head awkwardly, looking completely thrown off… like a lost chick.
[Event recorded]The main hero loses additional confidence.

«Pff… hahahaha… you seriously believed that? Oh man… you know, your "girlfriend" has a truly divine ass,» Hans laughed so loudly that part of the crowd, which had already started to disperse, came back.
Though now they kept their distance — no one wanted to provoke these lunatics again. Better to just stand aside… and enjoy the show.
[Event recorded]The main hero has suffered a strong emotional blow.
[Effect]Fate Points: -200

«What?! How dare you lie to me?! I'll never forgive you for this!.. You bastard — and you dared to mock Violetta!»
He kept throwing accusations at Hans, as if that could affect him in any way.
Like I give a damn about your forgiveness, idiot… talking like I betrayed some friendship instead of just messing with a loser.
This farce needs to end…
Gotta provoke him into striking first.Break his nose… maybe knock out a few teeth.
«You know… I actually liked that beauty. I'll ask her out later — I'm sure she'll agree… and then we'll have some real fun,» Hans said it all with such shameless arrogance that even a saint would've snapped.
«How dare you!!!» Luca finally lost it.
He lunged forward and, with full force, drove his fist straight into Hans's jaw. The punch was strong enough to drop most people…
—but the villain simply took it without a flinch.
Alright… now it's self-defense, Hans smirked to himself.
He easily dodged the second strike and immediately countered — his leg shot forward, landing right between Luca's legs. Chances were, kids were off the table for him now.
«Ah—!» Luca, not expecting it, choked on the pain and dropped to his knees.
But Hans had no intention of stopping. He drove his knee up sharply, smashing it into Luca's nose. A clear, sickening crack echoed.
The impact sent Luca's body flying back into the brick fence surrounding the school. He clearly hit his head… but didn't even have time to collapse properly before another heavy punch slammed into his jaw — strong enough to knock out several teeth.
After that, Luca, covered in blood, fell to the ground, unconscious. Blood poured from his mouth and nose… he only rasped faintly, barely breathing.
[Event recorded]The main hero has suffered critical physical and psychological damage.

[Event recorded]Sofia Lopez is interested in the user.
[Effect]Affinity: +20
[Reward: +200 Villain Points]
Oh… and there she is.
Hans quickly scanned the crowd and spotted her immediately.
An exquisite beauty with tanned skin and long, straight black hair falling almost to her hips, tied with a bandana. She looked at him with deep emerald eyes… but a moment later, looked away, as if unable to hold his gaze.
Just as he thought — a Mexican girl.
And her figure was… more than impressive.
First — her height. She was nearly a head taller than him. And considering Hans himself was close to two meters… that said a lot.
Her body looked harmonious even at that size — large breasts hidden beneath her uniform, and wide hips that matched them perfectly. Even from a distance, it was obvious without effort.
A girl with such height and appearance… truly rare.
If not for the circumstances, Hans would've approached her long ago.
But at that moment, his sweet, dear little sister finally appeared.
And Sofia… she was already marked. So finding her anytime wouldn't be a problem — the system search would handle that for him.
«You really caused quite a mess today, big brother.»
