Villain of my own novel

After a while of sobbing, Isha finally calmed down, and we went around exploring the academic fest. Though her eyes were red, Isha had a bright, grateful smile on her face. I could tell that she was looking at me in a different light, though I wasn't sure why or what had happened for her to change the way she looked at me. But since she was looking at me, I didn't mind.

Since I hid my presence, some bumped into me. It was fine the first few times, but it got annoying after a while, so I instead released my tyrannical presence and made way, which prompted a giggle from Isha as we began to explore the fest.

We saw cadets receiving and welcoming their parents, friends, relatives, and backers; since I and Isha had none that came from the outside, we ignored them, or more like I ignored them because Isha hadn't even spared a glance at the surroundings. Again, since she was looking at me, I didn't mind, but I still showed her around, hoping that she would enjoy the festival with my company.

"Hmmm?" While making our way around, we arrived back at the spot where the cadets were receiving those that they knew. I saw a group of people speaking amongst themselves while involuntarily garnering the attention of onlookers.

The group contained ten people, nine of whom I knew personally.

"Isha, hide your presence and follow me; I'll introduce you to a few people." I said and hid my presence, looking at Isha, who nodded her head in response and followed after me.

"I guess you need time to actually apply it." I said, noticing Isha's faint presence. Since it was an entirely new theory and something that one with mana would never need, I didn't think there was a need to tease her, so instead I held her hand and walked towards the group.

"Ha! Look who's talking; you're stronger than us, so conceal your aura first, or else "he" will find you in an instant. And you're not the only one that wants to meet him; we too want to rush towards him, but we're only holding ourselves back because it'll look suspicious." A man with dark raven hair and grey cat eyes said with a scoff.

"Well, it looks like you are underestimating your boss, just because I have been away for a while." I said, standing behind them and startling them.

"Yo, old men and women, how are you all doing?" I asked with a smirk and looked at them turn around with a smirk on their faces that ceased as soon as their gazes landed on me.

"Hm? What's wrong? Ah! Is it because of my hair?" I mumbled and I ruffled my hair, right when I was about to change my hair colour.

"Well, I didn't recognise you because you turned so handsome." Said an annoying man's voice, to which my mouth twitched.

"You brat, I named your a*s; call me father and talk respectfully." I said, gazing at Gerry.

"So young man~ wanna go out on a date with this big sister?" Asked a woman who abruptly appeared next to me since I said I was going to introduce a few people, Isha didn't show much reaction to Gerry's words, but she walked towards my right, pushed Amanda off, and hugged my arm with a huff.

"Pfft." A laugh sounded behind them, and as if a wave had passed, all nine of them laughed, making me smile slightly.

"Isha, from the left. Ash, Clifford, Dominic, Belinda, Gerry, Greg, Simon, and Amanda." I introduced the group.

"Guys, this is Isha, my wife?" I said that even though I was confused when I said it.

"Huh?" A wave of gasps of shock sounded, including Isha's.

"Right? I mean, you are, but not officially yet; that's it, right?" I asked Isha, trying to clear up my own confusion.

"I-if you put it that way, then you are right." Isha nodded after pondering for a bit.

"Right!" I exclaimed, smiling brightly.

"Then, it's your turn. Who... is that woman behind you guys?" I asked.

'She feels familiar, but her familiarity is shared with two people who hold high importance in my life.' I pondered.

"Y-yeah, right. She is Luna, our new boss." Gerry said, introducing the woman, that as soon as I heard that name, my younger sister, whom I had buried at least a thousand times in my past life, flashed in my mind, and even though my heart clenched at the memory, I frowned deeply.

"Why?" I asked in a cold tone and noticed all nine of them flinch, even though they were a lot stronger than me.

"S-she said she knew you and that she was your successor." Greg, the silent one, answered.

"I would have told you guys if I had somebody like that." I said with a scoff and glared at the white-haired woman with a deep frown on my face.

"You. Who are you? You better answer my question if you don't wanna die-" I warned her, but

FHUMP!

"Huh?" That woman abruptly hugged me; who knows why, but for whatever reason I couldn't bring myself to push her away.

"How have you been?" She asked.

"Huh? Y-yeah, I-I am good?" I said, perplexed by the turn of events.

'Who is this woman? I know I have met her somewhere, but where—' I thought, but my thought process was cut short when I felt Isha tighten her grip around my arm with a subtle shiver.

"Excuse me!" I gently pushed the woman named Luna away and turned to face Isha, confused by why she was reacting that way; for whatever reason, I could tell that she wasn't feeling jealous.

"Isha, are you alrigh-" I asked her in concern, but instead of looking at me, Isha continued to gaze at Luna before her voice sounded, cutting my words short.

"Let me introduce myself." Luna said, pissed off by her actions, I glared at her, but the next words that came out of her mouth had me frozen.

"I am Luna, but you have known me as,"

"Frostine."
