The socially awkward villain's furry superpower

Sienna didn't sleep well. She spent the whole night curled up in a ball, using a large towel she took from her suitcase as a blanket to keep the room warm.

She listened to Teddy's even snoring and tried hard to fall asleep, but she just couldn't.

However, she eventually fell asleep without realizing it, but when she woke up, her vision was blurry and she felt weak all over.

At least I wasn't woken up by the sound of a group of heroes breaking down the door.

She's had those nightmares several times already.

Sienna quickly dressed and left a note on the inside of the door, telling Teddy not to go out unless it was an emergency.

She also left her phone number just in case and made a note in her planner to see if it was feasible to get Teddy a cell phone.

Class started, and soon Sienna began to drift off.

She wasn't thinking about literature and its impact on society, nor was she considering the artistic value of stringing words together in a beautiful way.

She was even unusually not overly worried about her classmates.

Sienna's mind is completely focused on the mission.

Now that she had a better understanding of how the system worked, she felt she could start working on shedding her villainous identity.

On the surface, it seems quite simple.

All she needs to do is choose tasks that lead her in another direction and complete them.

【Task!】

Join the battle against the forces of justice!

[Kill or incapacitate a hero.]

[Reward: Gain 3 skill upgrade points for each hero you incapacitate or kill. Evil value +4 for each kill!]

To accept or to reject?

Sienna knew very well that the evil points would make her more like a villain.

Therefore, murder is absolutely impossible.

【Task!】

Black Queen

[Using violence to climb the social ladder!]

[Reward: For each assassination or instance of causing someone to be ostracized or bullied to the point of submission in society, gain 1 skill upgrade point. For each social rank you advance, gain +1 villain level!]

To accept or to reject?

There were also some things Sienna wasn't familiar with, such as social class?

She opened her planner and added it to the "Ask Teddy" list.

After flipping through a few pages and seeing another list, she added "Find a password" to her weekly list.

She didn't want just anyone finding her diary and knowing what she was doing.

The Black Queen quest is not an option.

She didn't want to be a criminal woman, just as she didn't want to be a villain.

Teddy said that points at similar levels can sometimes lead to horizontal development.

However, Teddy didn't go into much detail and mentioned warnings about capitalists, which Sienna didn't quite understand.

The next task made her a little nervous.

The Queen with the Silk Sword

Become a distinguished member of your community!

[Reward: For every 10 people who think you are a "good person," you gain 1 skill upgrade point. For every 10 people who think you are a "good person," you gain 1 rogue point.]

This is hopeful! She had to suppress the urge to smile, otherwise people around her might wonder why her mood had changed.

She can do it; she can serve the community!

Sienna sighed, sat down, and tried her best to concentrate on the lesson.

She had to look up the notes left by the previous students to avoid missing important information, but that was all she could do.

Sienna was secretly planning how to join a volunteer group.

Maybe I could pick up trash, or help clean clothes at a thrift store?

She's done something similar before!

Once you figure out how to incorporate these into your schedule, it's easy.

The points she gained... weren't really important to her.

Sienna only has one skill upgrade point available, and she doesn't care whether she has a little more or a little less.

These points were part of what was bothering her, and she decided she could ignore them for now.

The class ended in a pleasant atmosphere, and the teacher announced that the homework to be assigned would be postponed until next Monday.

She packed her things and patiently waited for the classroom to empty out a bit so she wouldn't bump into anyone when she left.

There is one advantage to being suddenly drawn into a world of masked people and villains.

That is, her anxiety about getting along with people was (partially) replaced by many new, much more terrible anxieties.

Sienna planned the route from her English literature classroom to the school cafeteria.

If she had arrived late enough, they probably wouldn't have questioned her taking food for two, and there wouldn't have been a line at the free food distribution point.

Although there are rumors online that the food there isn't very good.

But since it's free, that's important to the students.

She then had an afternoon history class.

Aside from the vague impression she had when she first enrolled, she needed to look at the map on her phone to know exactly where her classroom was located on campus.

While Sienna was still making plans, she slowed down and stopped outside the English building.

There is a group of people.

It's not the kind of crowd that forms because of pedestrian congestion or people gathering to protest something, but rather the kind of crowd that gathers together to watch something.

Just by glancing up slightly, you can tell what everyone is watching.

[Yesebel Winthrop]

[Defender, Level 1]

Sienna froze like a deer caught in the headlights.

The crowd moved, surging outwards like a rising tide, and somehow Sienna found herself in the direction the crowd was dispersing.

This name corresponds to a girl who is rather short.

Her short brown hair fell to her neck, and her face might seem rather ordinary to Sienna. Her eyes were a bit big, but they sparkled with a cheerful light.

She had her hands in the pockets of her denim jacket, underneath which she wore a T-shirt with a picture of a handsome guy's face.

Yezebel grinned from ear to ear, like a flower basking in a downpour of attention, basking in the gaze of everyone around him.

Then she bumped into Sienna.

“I’m so sorry!” Sienna screamed. She started backing away.

Yezebel grabbed her elbow.

For a fleeting moment, Sienna thought it was all over. The defender was the moral compass of the hero faction; she was doomed.

However, Jessbel's smile widened even more. "Are you alright?"

“I’m fine,” Sienna said.

"Were you waiting for me here?" Seeing Sienna quickly shake her head, Yezebel laughed. "Don't be shy."

“I—I’m sorry,” Sienna said. “I should, I should go.”

She clutched her backpack tightly, pulling her arms close to her sides, trying to avoid attention.

Yezebel released her grip. "You already have fans?" she said as she walked away.

The laughter made Sienna's face burn, but a hint of anger mingled with the relief of regaining her freedom.

She wanted to know who this person was? Someone who had publicly revealed their superpowers?

Although it's quite common, walking around on campus... she really wanted to slap herself.

It's only been a few days since Awakening Day.

She gained superpowers on that very day; how could she so easily forget that others also gained superpowers on that day?

So this is a new local hero.

She stopped and watched the crowd slowly disperse, but the potential threat, Yezebel, was still there in the center of the crowd.

Sienna hoped things wouldn't escalate to that point.

But if it really comes to that...

Perhaps things will be a little better when the girl sees her smug, overconfident facade crumble when she faces the angry Teddy.

Sienna swallowed hard. The idea wasn't very friendly. She had no reason to hate or distrust Yezebel.

They were not enemies, but simply on either side of the line Sienna intended to cross.

This is not a reason for hostility.
