Life Of A Nobody - as a Villain



Rio looked at Leon standing at the gates of the restaurant and arguing with some security guard, and immediately all kinds of face slap routines started to appear in his head. He had read so many cliched novels and plotlines in his life on earth, that he could practically remember a dozen of them which starts with this kind of setting. 

If it was only Amelia and others in the restaurant, he would simply ignore Leon and won't even take a glance at this scene. As he had trained and influenced those girls enough to not fall for such stupid protagonist tricks to go help him or get curious about him. They were all smarter than that. 

But the problem was that there were two other heroines in this restaurant at this moment - Saisha Ellsworth and Seraphina Starzl. 

Both girls were the easiest target of Leon's harem in the novel. Leon got Seraphina's good graces from his little stay at Circle of Renewals in his childhood. And she was just also friendly and curious about rank 1, and thus fell for him easily over time. 

As for Saisha, it was even more simple. The princess who was loved by all, and never came into contact with anything negative and wrong openly, got attracted to his righteousness and heroic personality. 

She wouldn't fall so easily, but it was also original Rio's fault in the novel. 

After all, the one who won the fastest race alone would never get as much attention as the one who defeated someone else. People like to compare and that comparison is what makes things interesting for them. 

But it also worked in Leon's favor. As the more rumors spread about him, and the more his 'evil deeds' spread everywhere, the more famous Leon started to get.

[You should stop staring and go out there. Let's just stop Leon from showing off somehow, or maybe let's just kick him out of here. That should solve all the troubles.]

"No, Let's wait." Rio said. 

"[Wait _ what.]

  [You want to wait. What if Leon finishes this plotline and gets some big benefits or connections. It would be too troublesome for you to handle.]

"At least I'll know if Shweta's personality really affected Saisha or not. Or if some new character pops up to help Leon or not."

[But _ ]

'Just, listen to me. Will ya.' Rio said and ignored the system.

Riley, who saw Rio staring at Leon, asked "Someone you know, boss." 

"He's Leon Heartwell. He's a student at the academy too." Rio replied, without taking his eyes off Leon. Though he couldn't hear what they were talking about, he could at least guess something through their body language and the way they talked. 

"Ahh the top ranker huh." Riley said in realization, and also looked at Leon. 

At this time, Leon's fame was everywhere, especially at the floating island, where the news about the academy was everyone's main focus. Plus Riley herself had checked every ranker when she was free, since they were all going to be Rio's classmates soon. 

"Half the tables inside are empty. And we won't take long, it's just for a normal dinner." Leon said to the guard who stopped him from entering. 

"Sir, I've informed you already. Many of those tables were already reserved by guests before, and others are kept free in case of some VIPs' arrival." The guard respectfully replied, feeling helpless at how else he should explain the same thing that is written on board clearly for everyone. 

"To eat at Dorsia one needs a prior reservation or a membership card. Otherwise even if the restaurant is empty normal guests can't enter." This is common knowledge to basically everyone on the floating islands. 

Yet who can say that to our protagonist, who just pops at every expensive place looking like a beggar or a thug. 

Yupp, even though Leon is a noble and heir to the Baron family, he's still dressed in normal clothes, which were marked with dust and mud in some places. 

Looking at that Rio could guess that the market fight scene which was supposed to happen in the morning might've happened already. 

Don't ask if Leon doesn't have any other clothes, or if he doesn't know any cleaning spells - he does. Why he didn't use them, god knows.

Well probably even gods don't know, only the author knows. 

Just tell me, is the protagonist pretending or is it an idiot protagonist. 

"What's the hold up?" A man with a fat tummy asked loudly, and walked out from behind a counter and came to the door. 

"You there, why are you just standing there and chatting with your buddies, instead of welcoming other guests."

He said to the guard who was busy talking with Leon for the past few minutes. 

"Ahh sir, that he _ " The guard from earlier started stuttering in nervousness and was unable to answer properly, when the fat man cut him off and started speaking again. 

"Do your jobs properly. You can't slack off just cause you're new. Now ignore him and stand at your post. You see how many guests had to open the doors themselves and enter. You're basically ruining the reputation of everyone."

After speaking to the guard, the fat man looked at Leon, and then ignored him and left. 

Hearing his superior's order, the guard ignored Leon and went back to his post again. 

"Welcome to Dorsia." He bowed and welcomed a couple who showed him a card and entered inside. 

Leon, who saw the guard's respectful behavior, felt contempt and went to the fat man who was coming back after shouting at some other guard. "Excuse me. I wanted to book a reservation." 

The fat man, with the name plate of 'David Turner' fixed on his chest, looked at Leon from top to bottom for a few moments and then sighed a little inside and said - "Sorry sir, but we're totally booked for the night."

"What? But he said, many tables are empty for emergencies. I just need a table for two and that's all." Leon said adamant on going inside. 

"Sir, as you said, those tables are for VIPs and emergencies. Not just anyone can sit there." The fat man David said sternly. 

The staff didn't want to look down on anyone or insult someone on the main gate where everyone who came and went could see and hear everything. But everyone felt helpless. 

Every now and then some stupid people would come to cause drama in Dorsia, asking about places and prices of everything and then create a rockus saying they're so expensive and proud and what not. Mostly it's those competitors of theirs up front, who try to ruin their reputation, or some people who were just really bored and had nothing better to do. 

Looking at Leon, the fat man could see it was the second type of person, who just had nothing to do. Cause if not, then after looking at the big note at the side, or hearing the answer from the guard and him, he should've gone away, instead of staying here and arguing with him. 

"You _."

"I'm a student at Zenith academy. You might've heard of me. I'm _."

"Sir whoever you are, the rules are the same for everybody. Even if you're a student at Zenith or not. Without reservations you can't enter." The fat man said and ignored Leon and started going inside. Closing the glass door on his face. 

But just at that moment, a voice interrupted the fat man - "Stop".

"He's with me. Let him in." 

. 

Saisha, who was sitting with Amelia and others, and was talking happily and chatting with them. She was feeling a little restless at the dorms, so she decided to take a walk outside. She had heard from her fellow elves and Jaesin, that the food at Dorsia was the best on floating islands, so she came here for dinner. 

[As the princess of Elves, and belonging to a royal family of high elves, she had her own membership cards for every major or famous facility on the floating islands. Some membership cards were the ones which are made for the whole family of generations, and some were ones which Jaesin had made for her, so she wouldn't have any trouble if she ever wanted to go alone somewhere.]

Once she entered the restaurant, she found her roommate there, who was sitting with her friends. She was going to ignore them and sit on her own table, when Ayla called her to join them and that's how she ended up with them. 

Though she had seen Ayla with Amelia and Rebecca sometimes, but this was the first time she met them herself, so she introduced herself and they all started talking. 

They were ordering food for themselves when she felt someone looking at her and turned back. She glanced at the door's direction, but found no one there. After searching a little farther, she found a black car standing outside near the door. After she used her mana and failed to see who it was, she decided to take a look herself.

After excusing herself, she came to the door and before she could exit and go to that car, she heard Leon's conversation with the owner and saw that scene. 

She knew about Leon, and seeing how he was trying hard to enter, she decided to help him.

"My table's empty now. You can give it to them." Saisha said to the fat man, who could just nod his head in return. While silently wondering, how this idiot managed to get in the eyes of a princess. 

. 

'Saisha' 

Rio looked at Saisha's figure standing at the door and talking with the fat man. Though he couldn't hear anything, the scene was enough proof for him to guess what the situation probably was. 

'Is she gonna pull him to Amy's table?' Rio wondered. And the little calm he felt after beating up those goons of Dante, started to disappear and he started feeling angry again. 

[Calm down host]

[Maybe it's something else.]

'I've watched enough.' Rio said and walked out of the car. "Leave." Rio said to Riley and she drove away without waiting there. 

'I should settle him for once.'
