Villain's Valor: A Noble Fantasy Resurrection

The multicolored light completely filled the capsule. Anthony closed his eyes, and his consciousness sank into darkness. After a few moments, his awareness returned to normal. His eyes opened and sparkled in the beautiful sunset. He looked around, and the first thing he noticed was that he was alone.

He was dressed in a black shirt with high-quality leather armor, two boots, military pants with multiple pockets, and a beautiful golden ring on his finger. He delved his consciousness into the ring and found his sword with the crimson blade of empire level, an empty water bottle, and some spare clothes. There was no map or anything else. Everything else he would have to find himself.

He took a deep breath and was stunned. It seemed completely real; the heightened sensitivity was very impactful. Looking around, it was a normal forest, brown trunks and green eyes, of considerable size. Looking up at the sky, it was a beautiful orange color. The atmosphere was tranquil and serene.

The shadows beneath his feet moved and rose upward, taking the form of Anthony and running in all directions, merging with the shadows created by the trees and clouds in the sky.

Closing his eyes, his body was covered in black, and his figure disappeared.

Running through the forest, different shadows could be seen moving at great speed. Crossing the forest, the shadows became tangible and sank into darkness. Anthony had a serious look. He had been running for about two hours and still hadn't found anyone. The forest remained the same as always.

His eyes gleamed, and the darkness of the place moved much faster. Small specks of darkness were left behind, disappearing forever.

"In this event, in addition to the three first-year classes, some students selected by the administrators of the different classes will also be present, such as the top twenty from the other events," Anthony remembered the last words of Professor Cristal before entering the capsule. "The map is too big.

It's the combination of the two previous maps with the terrains completely changed, just so you have a clearer idea of the dimension you're in."

The expression of the professor at that moment was extremely tired and fatigued. "The Decagon of the Cult Hunting Faculty will also be observing the event," Anthony continued to remember. "Remember that you can form groups with students from the same faculty to make it easier to find the cultists."

Anthony's objective for this event was not Persephone or Estefany but the boy named Matías. The two girls already had the opportunity to defend themselves, in addition to having received considerable rewards as potential bearers of artifacts from Zone 8. Therefore, they shouldn't pose a problem. Also, if he had the chance, he would like to meet some of the recruits or Charlotte.

"In this event, killing students is prohibited. It's an extermination event of the crazy bastards, not your classmates. Anyone who kills another student will be expelled from the event and lose all their academic points," Professor Athena warned seriously. Because of this, Anthony wasn't worried about Charlotte or the two girls. The only threat they might face would be the cultists.

Matías hid behind a tree, his black eyes observing everything around him. He was completely shocked, with his eyes wide open from the shock. He looked at his hands, touched his face, and was stunned for a moment. He couldn't believe the level of realism in that place. If they told him that place was real life, he would believe it with complete certainty.

The wind crashed against his face, and he breathed deeply, even feeling the air filling his lungs and the blood flowing through his veins. He was shocked, even pinching himself to make sure it wasn't a dream. He even felt the sharp pain piercing his skin.

After a few moments, he managed to regain his senses. He looked at his basic outfit: a black shirt, military pants, and leather boots. Bringing his mana to the ring, he saw a large circular mirror, a water bottle, and a spare set of clothes. Although he was seeing what was inside the ring, he never let his guard down.

His ears could catch every movement, every interruption in the air, even the sound of the wind crashing against the trees and moving their branches, dropping the soft, green leaves to the ground.

His eyes searched every direction of the black forest. In his mind, the image of Rose quickly appeared, her figure turning transparent and crystalline as if she were crystal, quickly leaving the place. He wanted to find Rose, first and foremost.

"His ability is very impressive," Athena said with a smile. "His mana, likewise, has no color, no form. Tell me, Kalista, how did you manage to find such a rare boy?" Athena asked as she sensually approached the woman sitting in a chair with a serious expression. Like a snake, Athena whispered in Kalista's ear. Kalista frowned and looked at the shameless woman.

"You urgently need a husband, Athena," she said bluntly. Athena's sensual smile froze, and her eyes lost their sparkle. "That boy is not mine; Amael brought him with three others," Kalista said before Athena could add any nonsense.

Athena smiled and sat with a cute pout on her lips. "The chosen quartet, huh. Gabriel already informed me of this. That boy's appearance is related to mirrors," she said as she took out a small red mirror from her ring. This one had a beautiful decoration around it, but dirt and the passage of years had turned it black.

The most important piece of information about this artifact was that the mirror was broken, as if someone had punched it, with some beautiful cracks that had a subtle glow. She didn't dare touch the opaque crystal mirror directly.

She had reports that anyone who dared to touch the mirror directly, their body would break into a thousand pieces as the essence of their soul was sucked into the artifact.

"In fact, it's just as terrifying as the other objects in Zone 8, a true name in a tangential form, an impressive and totally mysterious work of art, incomprehensible to our empire," Athena said with a bright smile. "I would like my true name to have a tangential form too. What do you think it would be?" she asked with a bright smile to the two women sitting around her.

Kalista and Cristal rolled their eyes, looking at Athena.
