Breaking Up with the Heroine of the Female-Oriented Game - Chapter 50

Chapter 50

Midterm Exams (2)

Whoooosh.

The wind.

A chilling wind was blowing.

Beyond the window in the third-floor hallway of the academy’s chapel, where there was no sign of anyone, the cold wind whipped through Roxanne’s hair.

Roxanne’s light pink hair fluttered wildly in the strong gust, and her neatly arranged academy uniform was slightly disheveled.

Her eyes, once as clear as a bright sky, were now clouded with dark shadows. Her gaze reflected worry, anxiety, and suffering.

With a shadowed face, Roxanne quietly looked up at the sky.

Dark clouds were gathering, slowly consuming the light in the hallway of the chapel.

She slowly closed her eyes and, as always, tried to pray to God.

But then.

“Hello?”

Right behind Roxanne.

“Has it been a while? Roxanne.”

A girl’s voice echoed through the hallway.

It was a slender and delicate voice, but there was a hint of sharpness to it.

As she slowly turned her head to locate the source of the voice, a familiar figure came into Roxanne’s blue eyes.

It was Seong Yura.

“I’ve been busy lately, so I haven’t been coming to the academy much.”

Seong Yura approached Roxanne one step at a time, her expression slightly frustrated.

Click, click.

The sound of her footsteps rang loudly in Roxanne’s ears.

“At this rate, I might get held back a year, who knows?”

Seong Yura brushed her short hair to the side and walked close to Roxanne, suddenly giving a sly smile.

“Don’t you think so, Roxanne?”

“Seong Yura.”

The dark hallway was eerily silent.

Despite it being a chapel hallway, where students or worshippers might be expected to wander, the only ones there were Roxanne and Seong Yura. As if someone had deliberately blocked off the passage.

“……”

“……”

The two looked at each other in silence, their lips tightly sealed.

An inexplicable silence weighed down on Roxanne and Seong Yura.

They were like oil and water.

If Roxanne was good, Seong Yura was evil.

Their personalities, inclinations, values—everything was different, making it impossible for them to understand each other.

And yet, they were facing each other now.

Their faces reflected in each other’s eyes, clearly and vividly.

‘Seong Yura… why are you approaching me?’

She usually manipulated others from behind to torment Roxanne, but she had never made direct contact like this.

Seong Yura hadn’t even been attending the academy regularly.

Could it be because of that incident last time?

“…You got me, Roxanne.”

It was Seong Yura who broke the silence first.

She let out a long sigh, shook her head as if genuinely surprised, and spoke with a tone of admiration.

“You took down the subordinates I sent quite admirably.”

“So, it was people you sent after all.”

Roxanne and Kim Deoko’s lives had been at risk like candles in the wind due to the sudden attack by the villains.

But…

“My people? They scoured the mountain and barely found them. They were hanging on to life by a thread.”

“Is that so.”

A stranger had saved Roxanne and her group at a critical moment.

The mysterious man had concealed his face with a hat and a multi-scarf, making it impossible to identify him, but he was an incredibly powerful individual.

After all, he had cut through magic and used Sword Qi Wounder, techniques far beyond Roxanne’s current reach.

Of course, since she wasn’t a swordsman, she couldn’t fully understand it.

“Impressive. Did you anticipate my attack and set a trap?”

“You know better than anyone that wasn’t the case.”

“You never know, just in case.”

In truth, Seong Yura was quite upset.

Matteo Evans, whom she had favored, was left half-paralyzed and hadn’t regained consciousness yet.

Matteo was a valuable asset even to Seong Yura.

He shouldn’t have been wasted so easily.

“Could there be an organization or faction helping you behind the scenes?”

“What if I told you it was just a passerby who helped?”

“Aha-ha. Joking too? A passerby? In a mountain full of monsters?”

“…It’s true.”

T h i s w as co p ied f r om k in gm t l . or g
Could there really be someone brave enough to enter a mountain inhabited by monsters?

It wasn’t as if some artifact was hidden in that mountain.

Roxanne really should come up with better excuses. It’s hard to believe her even if someone wanted to.

Thi s wa s c op ie d f r o m ki ng m t l . or g
“Seriously. It’s made things a bit awkward for me.”

“Good for you.”

“How cruel.”

Seong Yura’s shoulders slumped as Roxanne shot her a cold look.

Roxanne seemed to be especially cold towards her.

Well, considering what Seong Yura had done, it was understandable.

“In any case, rumors are spreading among my subordinates. They think some powerful group or organization might be secretly backing you.”

“……”

“There were even traces of them fleeing during the fight, which made things more complicated. Since someone like Matteo ran away, they’re all a bit scared now. Anyway.”

“Was that person really that strong?”

Considering that Kim Deoko, who was attached as Roxanne’s bodyguard, was defeated without much resistance, it seemed likely.

‘Then just how strong was that mysterious man?’

Despite having numerical advantage, Matteo and his group chose to retreat. Why was that man alone in the mountains? The only things in that mountain were monsters and Roxanne’s group.

‘…Could it really be like Seong Yura said, that someone was sent to protect me?’

If so, that would have been great.

If that person were there, it would have been much easier to stop Seong Yura.

“It’s bad for business to lose face in this line of work. So, do you happen to know who that person is?”

“I don’t.”

“Ah, well, if you say you don’t know, I won’t press you. I’ll find out on my own…”

“Seong Yura.”

Roxanne suddenly interrupted Seong Yura with a calm voice.

“I pity you.”

“What? All of a sudden?”

Seong Yura blinked, bewildered by the unexpected words.

“I know somewhat how hard you’ve had to live from the bottom. It must have been a very difficult life.”
T his wa s co p i e d f r o m k in g mtl. o r g

The two were both orphans without parents but had walked different paths.

“It must have been hard to like other people. When you were struggling, rather than helping, they tormented you even more. You must have hated them.”

Unlike Roxanne, who became a good person with the help of others, Seong Yura fell into villainy without any help.

“It’s okay if you torment me. I can take your anger.”

The resentment, blame, anger, and all the emotions you’ve hidden deep inside… I can take them.

“I know you didn’t really intend to harm me when you sent those people. You just wanted to put me in danger and hurt those around me to see how I’d react.”

I understand that you admire what you couldn’t become and want to drag me down into the mud, Seong Yura.

“But don’t cross the line.”

“The line? That’s amusing. I think I’ve already crossed it.”

“No, Seong Yura. You are a villain, but you can still turn back.”

Roxanne stepped closer and spoke with clear determination.

“Please don’t make an irreversible choice. Although your past actions are hard to forgive, you mustn’t commit any more evil deeds.”

“…How laughable. You don’t even know what I’ve done so far.”

“Seong Yura.”

“And you know, warnings are pointless. If you don’t like me, show it through your actions.”

“I will stop you.”

“You? Stop me?”

Seong Yura chuckled.

Neither in ability, power, authority, nor wealth could Roxanne stand on an equal footing with Seong Yura. How did she intend to stop her?
T his w as c o p ie d f ro m k i n gm t l. o r g

“Oh, Roxanne… you’ve always been like this. You don’t fear me, and you always look at me with those righteous eyes. It makes me want to break you even more. Just like me.”

With that, Seong Yura suddenly turned around.

“I enjoyed our conversation today. The midterms are coming up soon, right? Study hard. See you later, Roxanne.”

“……”

Roxanne watched Seong Yura walk away.

She kept watching until she completely disappeared from view.

For a long, long time.

***

A spacious mansion office.

A petite girl was sitting in front of Seong Yura.

T h i s w a s cop ie d fro m k i n g m t l . o r g
“Wow~. Tomorrow’s the day, huh? Union Academy’s midterm exams.”

The girl, with her disheveled white hair, sprawled lazily on a plush sofa, yawned sleepily.

T h i s wa s c o p i ed f r om k i ng m t l . o rg
Then, she casually reached out, grabbed a handful of snacks, and stuffed them into her mouth.

Her throat seemed to get clogged, so she gulped down some tea. “Ah! Hot!” she exclaimed, sticking out her tongue like a cat and fanning herself with her hand.

She looked like a typical slacker, but this girl was Yoo Dahee, the leader of a group called Rebellion. Seong Yura was also a member.

Though it was a small organization, like a local gang, it was filled with astonishingly powerful villains with unusual abilities.

Seong Yura still remembered how surprised she was by their strength when she first joined.
Th i s w a s c o p ie d fr om k ing mt l . o r g

And this Yoo Dahee…

Despite looking like an ordinary high school or middle school student, the power she displayed was unimaginable.

Lee Siwoon and Kang Daehan, touted as the next-generation’s greatest heroes?

Ha. Ridiculous. Utterly ridiculous.

Compared to Yoo Dahee, they were nothing more than a drop in the ocean.

There was no one in her age group who could compare to Yoo Dahee.

Even Baek Yoorin had admitted defeat.

Yoo Dahee was no longer at the level of a student.

She was stronger than most mid-tier heroes.

And she was still growing.

Is she a monster?

Seong Yura looked at her with slightly overwhelmed eyes.

Even though Seong Yura herself had surpassed the student level, she couldn’t stand on equal ground with Yoo Dahee.

With her, carrying out plans during the midterm exams would be much easier.

Yoo Dahee was that strong.

“The media’s attention will be high since it’s the first assessment of the golden generation.”

Rebellion was more of a loosely structured organization, so unless members caused a major conflict or harmed the group, there was little interference.

It was more of an alliance to achieve their respective goals.

That was why Seong Yura had joined.

To get support when needed, share information, and build connections.

“Lee Siwoon of SL Group, Kang Daehan of HanYoung Clan, Yoo Seolhyun of Gaon Nuri, Yuliya Troyanova, the disciple of the Archmage, Joo Jiyeon of OhSung Group, Goo Hancheol of Taebaek…”

Yoo Dahee grabbed another handful of snacks.

“The next-generation heroes responsible for the future… they’ll be delicious to chew up. Right?”

Chomp, chomp.

After munching on the snacks, Yoo Dahee smiled brightly.

“By the way, I was planning to prepare for the final exams or the training camp period, but you surprised me by acting so directly. So, I had no choice but to hastily prepare. It feels a bit rough around the edges.”

“Why? Do you want to back out now? Is that it?”

“Ah, I’m not saying that.”

Yoo Dahee shrugged nonchalantly and added.

“I didn’t realize you were so invested in this bullying game. Poor Roxanne, right? How did that nun get stuck with someone as crazy as you?”

She had intended to stay quiet during the midterms, but since Seong Yura decided to act, she had no choice.

Given their hands-off approach, she didn’t want to interfere with Seong Yura’s actions. And now that things had progressed, Yoo Dahee decided to join in.

“I’ve never seen anyone as dedicated to tormenting someone as you are. You’re truly a villain, aren’t you?”

Ignoring Yoo Dahee’s sarcasm, Seong Yura simply smiled mysteriously.

“This time, it’s not just about tormenting her. I want to cross a line.”

Roxanne, you said you pitied me?

T his w as c op i e d f r om ki ng m tl . o r g
Can you still pity me?

After I’ve crossed the line?

“The line? What line?”

Th i s w as c o pie d f ro m k i n g m t l . o rg
“Who knows? I’m not sure what line it is, but with this, Roxanne’s line will probably be crossed. I’m curious about how she’ll react.”

“Ah, Roxanne, Roxanne. Got it. If someone didn’t know better, they’d think you were dating.”

“Do you want to die?”

Yoo Dahee lazily nodded and then suddenly jumped up from her seat.

“Alright then, let’s do our best to achieve our goals. We may have different thoughts, but we have a common goal, right?”

“Hmph.”

“Everyone’s looking forward to Union Academy’s midterms… Let’s make a big mess.”

Union Academy, touted as the hope of Korea.

Its golden generation of promising hero trainees had attracted much attention from the media and various clans.
T h is w as cop ie d f r om kin g mt l . o r g

What will people think if these fledgling heroes are trampled by villains?

If the cradle of peace and hope is trampled under dirty feet?

Ah. Honestly.

I’m already so excited I can hardly sleep.

Really.
