Chapter 31 - A Sweet Girl Won’t Be Fooled By The Villainess

Chapter 31 The Destruction of Everything! Irene's gaze darkened and was difficult to understand. Her dark eyes were deep and intimidatingly indifferent. Her inorganic demeanor was like that of cold, mechanical parts. Her expression was stiff, with a frightening smile hanging at the corner of her mouth, making her seem perfect for portraying a murderer without any sense of incongruity. Upon noticing Ifia looking at her, Irene smirked with a sardonic smile. She quickly diverted Ifia's gaze, disregarding George's impotent rage, and immediately called out to the system. [System, system, what's wrong with the female lead? Does she turn into a psychopath just because she didn't get first place? Oh my goodness! She really scared me just now!] [Host, don't worry. In the original plot, the female lead only grows after experiencing extreme disappointment.] In contrast to Ifia's bewilderment, the system remained very calm. The system even felt that the original male and female leads did not trouble it as much as the current host did. Perhaps it was because Ifia mistook a wolf for a friend, recklessly probing dangerous boundaries, and in turn made the system's heart race with her, ready to jump along with her at any moment, risking falling into the abyss. The villainess could really extract the system from the soul with cruelty! Before the host lost her life, the system might be scrapped first... [Oh? What was the original plot? It's already past the plot, so it shouldn't count as a spoiler, right?] Listening to the system, Irene, the original female lead in the plot, did not achieve first place in this exam? Hehe, how intriguing! Ifia rubbed her hands quietly, burning with curiosity. Since arriving in this world, she had been very curious about the plot in the book. Unfortunately, the system remained unresponsive, refusing to disclose anything no matter what. That was the reason she had to get along harmoniously with the villainess. Otherwise, back when she had just opened her eyes in the slums, the system was as indifferent as a fish in a big supermarket, relentless! Ifia felt that even if she starved to death lying down at that time, the system wouldn't care about her! That's why she had to force herself to eat the choking black bread while crying. Because she wanted to continue living. Ifia knew she wasn't a bright person, "fighting with the sky, fighting with people, the joy is endless" had nothing to do with her. She was more suited to being lazy and worthless. If someone dared to mock the poor youth, things might change when it came to her. Don't mock the middle-aged poor, don't mock the elderly poor, the dead are the greatest! The comfortable life of three generations of wealth had made her complacent. Even if she crossed into a new world, she wouldn't change easily. Now, the substantial disparity between rich and poor made her feel lost. And having the system following her around, urging her to save the world... yet offering no real assistance, made her figure things out on her own. What could she do? Nothing! The ancient saying goes: "To do a good job, one must first sharpen one's tools". To be asked to save the world without being given any assistance was no different from being sent to the battlefield with just a stick. And with no original plot or main character introduction, everything was left for her to guess... What was there left to save in this world? Just let it all be destroyed! Ifia only would continue to live a minimal existence until the world's end if the system did not change its task content. Even if she had accepted the new task by now, Ifia didn't feel safe. How did befriending the villainess and saving the world connect? Amelia can't be some kind of earth-shattering big boss! As a result, Ifia had no idea what the system was up to. She felt that the destruction of the world was unavoidable and, after making new friends, she wanted to enjoy herself a little before dying. So, let's live it up in our youthful prime! Using the system to cheat and achieve good grades was primarily to make money. Ifia didn't think she had done anything wrong... it takes money to make a hero, and completing system tasks also required money. At least she didn't think she could freeload off Amelia! [In the original plot, the female lead meets the male lead on her first day at Pris Academy and becomes infatuated with him. She then spends her time gathering information about the male lead through various channels, causing her to fall behind in studies, resulting in her coming in fifth place in the first exam.] The system only spoke about the already finished plot, but Ifia, relying on her experience of watching movies and reading novels, could fully guess the subsequent plot. After Irene reclaimed the first place, she would work hard and attract the attention of Prince Carlo... Ah, such a cliché story! The system didn't spoil, so Ifia firmly believed that her speculation was the subsequent plot and immediately felt relieved that she was just a pitiful foil, and not a competitor for the male lead alongside the female lead. She had no interest in participating in such a silly love story! It's better to be like Amelia, a lovely beauty! Since Irene didn't get first place, Ifia no longer felt bothered to continue snooping into the plot. As for Irene's subsequent hard work to regain her top position... Heh, with her around, the female lead was bound to be disappointed. Ifia was originally the foil to the female lead in the original plot, with her tragic experiences and ending being used to accentuate the female lead. Now that it was her turn, she would completely turn the tables! Speaking of which, Ifia had a new question. [System, at this point in the original plot, had the original host, Ifia, already entered Pris Academy and taken this exam?] [She did, but due to missing classes, her grades were at the bottom. Even though the female lead did not achieve first place, at least she was in fifth place. The two, both with black hair and eyes, and in the same dorm, hence officially began as foils to each other.] [...] [Then, Ifia made earnest efforts to study by burning the midnight oil. Because she had a good foundation, she quickly caught up with the female lead's progress, and even surpassed her. However, due to her outstanding appearance, she was harassed by the nobles, constantly living in fear. On the day of the exam, she was even molested, and finally, her results were only average.] Every time she heard about the original host's plot, she could feel her fists clenching in anger. Taking a deep breath, Ifia completely lost her curiosity and stopped chatting with the system, redirecting her attention back to the present. George still wore a furious expression, with even veins popping out at his temples. He forcefully broke free from the other students' attempts to restrain him and ran directly onto the platform. The teacher who was originally standing on the platform had long sensed something was amiss and slipped away. Now, only George stood on the platform to start his speech: "Fellow students, as a student of this class, I have something to say. Ifia could never have achieved the first place!" His words drew everyone's attention, and George continued: "Ifia had only just reported to the academy a few days ago, and after that, she was never attentive in class. She would either sleep or daydream during class and would always stammer when talking about studying, showing no real academic talent." "Someone like her couldn't have possibly gotten full marks. I suspect she got the exam answers through other channels." This time, George completely tore off the mask. Seeing this, Ifia raised an eyebrow and did not get angry. Envious of her for having a system? Then let's give her a task to save the world! It's exhilarating and thoroughly exciting! Meanwhile, Lucy and Jessina, who stood nearby, were infuriated. Jessina, furious, disregarded noble etiquette this time, and without being stopped by Lucy, immediately shouted at the platform, "Stop talking nonsense. If you accuse Ifia of cheating, then present the evidence instead of making baseless accusations!" ... Hehehe, casting votes can get you an accelerator skill~
