The Villainous Senior Wants to Quietly Drop Out of School
The world inside the game Holy Swordsman Academy was heading straight for its predetermined apocalypse.
I, Kyle, had possessed the body of the villainous senior who was destined to be expelled and then executed. My only goal was to survive. To do that, I needed to prevent the heroines from walking their death routes. That was all.
But why… why were they all looking at me like this?
“Senior, you saved me again today. I don’t know how I can ever repay this kindness…”
The saintess, who should have died a tragic death in the original story, was now staring at me with moist, shining eyes. Her cheeks were flushed. This was dangerous. Extremely dangerous.
I had only stopped her from being assassinated. That was it. I didn’t want anything in return. I just wanted to quietly drop out of the academy and disappear somewhere far away before the world ended.
Yet the heroines I had saved kept following me around. Even the youngest professor in the academy’s history, who was supposed to be one of the final bosses, wouldn’t let me go.
“Kyle. Your skills are exceptional. Why do you keep trying to run away?”
The professor’s voice was calm, but her gaze was sharp enough to pierce through me. It felt like she could see right through every calculated move I made.
I smiled awkwardly and took a step back.
“I’m just an ordinary student who wants a peaceful life, Professor. I have no intention of getting involved in anything dangerous.”
That was a lie. I knew every single death flag in this game. I knew exactly when and how the heroines would die, and how the world would collapse. That was precisely why I had to leave. Before they all became obsessed with me. Before the misunderstanding grew any deeper.
But the saintess grabbed my sleeve with trembling fingers.
“Senior… if you leave, who will protect me? I… I can’t live without you anymore.”
Her voice was sweet, yet it sent a chill down my spine. This was the same girl who, in the original route, had been betrayed by everyone and burned at the stake. Now she was looking at me as if I were her entire world.
I gently pulled my sleeve from her grasp.
“You’re plenty strong on your own. You don’t need someone like me.”
“That’s not true!”
Her shout was louder than I expected. The other heroines who had been watching from a distance began to approach. The atmosphere grew heavy. I could feel their eyes on me—eyes filled with obsession, longing, and something far more dangerous.
The youngest professor crossed her arms and smiled faintly.
“It seems the students have taken quite a liking to you, Kyle. As their professor, I can’t simply ignore this situation. I think we should have a proper conversation. In my office. For a very long time.”
This was bad. Really bad.
I had only wanted to quietly drop out. To live a peaceful life far from the main storyline. But these women, whom I had saved to avoid my own death flag, were now clinging to me as if their lives depended on it.
The corners of my mouth twitched into a bitter smile.
Just let me drop out already…
But it seemed the heroines had no intention of letting their savior go so easily.

I let out a quiet sigh.
Yeah. This was definitely not the peaceful dropout life I had in mind.
