Jasmine Andrews.
Third princess of the Reagan Empire.
A girl who was born with high, if not the highest, talent and the strongest background in the world.
Being born with such traits, she was also a hard worker and a perfectionist on top of that and made a huge amount of effort in everything she has done in her life.
A girl that was the definition of perfection.
Having the poly attribute of fire, ice, water, and wind, from the moment she received her blessings, she started receiving the highest level of education in magic in the Royal Palace thanks to the royal family having incredible wealth.
Everyone knew she was the most talented person of this century, let alone this generation, because she got stronger at the fastest rate that has never been so far.
The way she had ranked up both as an auror and as a mage would make even the gods jealous….
And this fact was also known to his family members.
Which is a crucial fact since having talent is not always a good thing.
At this point, you must have seen it.
When there is a royal family, then there are bound to be fights for the throne.
Then, in this case, she was the mutual target of her four siblings, that were also fighting for the throne.
Because of that, from a young age, she learned how to fight against others and how to defend herself and found herself in life-and-death situations a lot.
Though, thanks to her high talent and the protection that was ensured by her parents, she didn't die and survived until the academy.
Since after she entered the academy, she left her title outside and survived on her own.
Because even if this academy is in the empire, it is also a place for talented nobles and commoners from all around the world to learn.
So, having high status should have been negated, which the academy did of course. By applying the rule of everyone being equal, even though most of us know this is nothing but a scam.
However, even if this was a scam, the academy being one of the safest institutes is an undeniable truth.
Or is it?
Though, right now, the question is not this one.
Jasmine, being the talented individual she is and also the strongest person of her year, rose up the ranks at a fast rate and then got selected for the duty of student council president, and right now holds considerable power inside the academy and is on her way to forming her own faction.
In any case, the girl in front of me is such a girl.
Her characteristic black hair that comes from her mother and those purple eyes that was a mixture of blue and red that symbolizes her ice and fire attributes, she was basically a girl that didn't lose to the main cast nor Diana in terms of beauty alone.
Though there are words that I could speak to describe her, right now, it is not the time.
You might be thinking and asking why she was a villain in the game.
There should be a reason for everything, right?
The answer relies on the setting of the game.
While looking at the rankings, have you noticed something amiss?
Some may have noticed, some may not, but there is an important detail that needs to be referenced.
It is a fact that 5 out of 10 seats of the first ranks were occupied by the children or heirs of the Wraslugia Kingdom.
And as the ranking went on, this type of distribution was still common.
Now, who was the strongest force on the continent?
The empire.
However, then, how come the strongest ones of this generation were filled with people from outside countries?
This is something that was intentionally made in the game.
I have been talking about this for a long time, but Chronicles of Aeris has a very wide world and a lot of details that could be addressed in parallel to the real world.
Therefore, the developers didn't pass on the detail of the Kingdom Building and politics.
Yes, literally politics.
Even though it didn't occupy a huge amount of space in the game as politics, it rather occupied as a war.
At this point, the Chronicles of Aeris still offered the player the to strengthen their nation and make it number one and strongest on the continent.
And who is the force that will stand against this?
It is the empire.
This is basically the setting of the villainess in front of me.
Even though she was born later than her siblings, she was still an ambitious person and was aiming for the throne.
And she is also smart enough to notice the situation that would probably happen in the future, considering Arthur and the main cast's talents.
Since all of them are talented, she foresaw the future the empire lost the power it holds and starts working on countermeasures to prevent that.
In the end, from the player's perspective, it made her the villainess since the means she had used for such a goal was something players had never liked and would never like.
Targeting the harem of the main character, annoyingly sabotaging their exams, reverting public opinion, framing, blackmailing, and sending people to seduce players, quite a lot of things were on the list.
That was basically what kind of girl she was in the game and why she became a villain.
And this girl was now giving a speech about the academy and describing her experience in the academy so far from her perspective.
Though, she didn't keep it long like the headmaster and made her points without beating around the bush.
"Thank you for listening to me thus far, and let us make this academic year one filled with remarkable achievements and cherished memories."

As she finished her speech, her eyes were once again locked with mine while the crowd started getting louder and louder with clapping sounds.
"Gr…."
And….. Diana was glaring at her as well…..
"Now….. Before we proceed any further, I would like to call the student that is ranked first in the entrance exam with a score that has never been seen before."
"I invite Mister Callius to the stage to give a brief speech."
Stopping her words, she gestured to me.
'It seems this one is still the same.'
I thought while standing up from my seat…..
