Villain of my own novel

[UP] [DOWN]

Isha clicked [UP] on the holographic display window as soon as she arrived in front of the elevator, and it wasn't long until the elevator arrived with a chiming sound.

TING

WHOOSH

[LG, UG, G, 1, 2, 3, 4.... <56> ...100]

With another unnecessarily high-tech holographic display screen pop up, Isha clicked on [1] and turned around to face the open back of the elevator.

WHOOOOMMM

With a calming breeze sweeping past her face, she took a deep breath and looked out at the beauty-filled, orange twilight-dyed clouds with a honey-dripping smile on her face.

'No matter what, I can never get enough of such sceneries.' She muttered in her mind and stretched out her arm, trying to grab hold of the clouds, only to have her arm stopped by the invisible, semi-cylindrical barrier.

'I forget that there is a barrier here.' She sighed and continued to enjoy the scenery.

She arrived at the first floor of the academy, ran and slid across the pristine white floor as she gazed at the only few people roaming here and there; they were security, guarding and looking after any troubles that were caused by the annoying cadets of the academy; most of them were beast-men and dwarves that weren't as short as they are described in the fantasy stories from Earth.

She rushed towards the receptionist and tapped on the white, spotless, waist-length table,

[Please do a bio-metric scan]

"Haaa...." With a sigh, Isha placed her hand on the table.

[Scan initiated....]

[Scan complete.]

[User: Isha] [View additional data]

[Please enter your request] [Voice] [Keyboard]

Clicking on [Voice], "I wish to leave the academy premises for a few days for personal, urgent reasons." Isha said.

[Assessing the request....]

[Permission granted!]

[Please pay 50 academic points or achievement points and purchase the [Card of Vac]] [Academic points] [Achievement points]

Clicking on [Achievement points], Isha paid 50 AP's and waited for the card.

[Payment confirmed]

[Please receive your card by the nearby receptionist.]

[Thank you for accessing the Academic stem.]

"Alright." She mumbled and glanced at the receptionist sitting behind the table. The receptionist too was a beast-man.... beast-woman? Beast-woman, she had long hazel hair with a pair of cat ears on her head, with brown spots behind them; yes, she was a cheetah by the looks of it.

With a bright blue glow covering her palm, which soon morphed into a paw, she then placed her claw on the rectangle-shaped white card, and with a subtle yet strong poke, a strange vibration cruised through the card, and soon, different kinds of patterns appeared on it, which she then handed to Isha, who grabbed it, thanked the seemingly polite receptionist, and zoomed out of there.

From a distance, the academy's building seemed like a hammerhead shark's head, while the dormitory behind the academy seemed like four fingers pointing up, while the rest of the floating land was filled with lush greenery.

(AN: Ahem, I know that I f**ked up while explaining that, but that's what the image I'm adding here looked to me)

All in all, the whole academy was futuristic and had everything one could ever need, and since this world was capitalised with achievement points, there wasn't really any need for money, and though the academy contained everything one needed, if they took it seriously and remained there, then it was just a waste of all the other opportunities this world had to offer, together with all its glory and beauty.

Directly rushing towards the gate that connected to the outskirts of the capital, she jumped in without wasting too much time after completing all the necessary requirements.

And with the glaring contrast of what Isha had just been looking at, the village on the outskirts of the capital was filled with some kind of strange gloomy atmosphere; the area was also dark, but even then, there wasn't any less involvement of the unnecessary high-tech technology.

The village seemed like some kind of back alley that's filled with massive, neon-coloured banner-like hoardings. There were many activities taking place in the busy street. The people there were so busy that they just bumped into Isha and went their way without even turning back, and what did one man do after bumping into Isha? He walked towards a strange hotel, dragging along a woman who didn't seem to be too willing to go, but looking at how she put up no resistance even when she was stronger than the man, Isha didn't know what to think about it.

'What kind of fetish....' Isha thought and stopped her thoughts there.

She then brought a bike nearby, receiving all kinds of weird gazes in the process, because the bike had become something that only commoners with relatively low mana could use, since they couldn't properly control and circulate their mana while using a hoverboard, a hover bike, or a hover car. All the means of transportation that used mana had height limits set, for many reasons.

BOOM-VROOOOOOMMMMMM!!!

VROO-VROOOOM!!!

"Nice." Isha mumbled with a smile and rode the bike, gauging her memories as she tried to remember the exact location she needed to go. Since the bike only required recharges with mana from time to time, she wasn't that worried about not having enough fuel.

And,

PITTER

"Really? Now?" Isha mumbled as it began to rain. She thought of using a mana shield while continuing to travel, but since it had been a long time since she had been able to enjoy a simple, peaceful ride or enjoy the things nature had to offer, she decided against it and enjoyed the pouring rain.

After hours of riding under the moonlight, she soon arrived at a long pathway that led to a cosy wooden house in a kilometre's distance. The fresh scent of wet mud, some floral scents, and the scent of freshly trimmed grass trickled into her nostrils, and knowing who did it, she enjoyed every moment of it.

VRUUUUUUUUUUUU...

It didn't take long for her to arrive in front of a cosy wooden house. After parking the bike in front of the wooden fences around the house, she walked towards the door on the wet mud path leading to the door. With a self-sufficient farm to her left, a mini, red rose-grown garden to her right, and a few well-maintained trees inside the fences, with the smallest being 3 metres tall.

"This brings back so many memories...." She mumbled under her breath, and in the memories, she mentioned, some were heart-breaking and made her gaze turn misty.

CLUNK

CREEEEAAAAAKKKKKKKK

"Welcome home, love." And welcoming her was a handsome black-haired elf man, adorned with a bright smile and a pink apron that Isha used to wear when they stayed there. With tears streaming out of her eyes, Isha rushed towards Eshwar and hugged him as tightly as she could.

"I love you." Isha proposed from the bottom of her heart, and without acting arrogant,

"I love you too." Eshwar proposed just as heartfeltly, making her feel warm around her heart, and hugged her back, not minding how soaked in rain she was.
