I’ll Make It a Bad Ending Like a Villain

She could feel the examinees glancing this way.

 

Filina ignored him and began to speed up again.
She caught up with one of the people who was running in front of her and watched what was happening.

 

Before long, first place was taken by the masked man.
He was followed by a muscular man who was eagerly catching up.

 

Filina was currently running in third place.

 

If she could keep her speed and get to second place on the last lap, it would be good.

 

“Two more laps to go.”

 

The instructor’s words added strength to the crew’s feet.
The red-eyed man followed behind Filina, and the last one was the man of average build.

 

Filina glanced back and measured the distance.

 

“Why aren’t you going faster?”

 

The red eyed man who had somehow snuggled up to her asked in a strange voice.
Filina stared at him.
She could see his red eyes staring at her.

 

“You can win first place.”

 

The man said as if he knew about her.

 

‘Is he guessing by watching what has been going on so far?’

 

“If you run fast.”

 

Filina asked dryly.

 

“You’ll follow me again, won’t you?”

 

The man’s eyes folded long at her question.

 

“Yes.”

 

The man who had said that was far too comfortable.
His breathing was quite steady, as was hers.

 

The examinees in front of her right now were breathing heavily.
The man running in the last place was also running out of energy.

 

Normally that would be normal.

 

However, when Filina turned to the side, she saw a carefree face that was not the least bit disturbed.

 

“One more lap.”

 

The muscular man in front of her began to take first place.

 

The masked man was in second place before she knew it.
However, the movement forward didn’t seem to change much.

 

“Aren’t you going to…?”

 

She heard the voice as if urging her to run faster.

 

She wanted to beat him and run first.
It was very annoying to see him flirting next to her.

 

But she didn’t know what the consequences would be if she overtook all the men here and she took first place.

 

She had to pass as quietly and amicably as possible.

 

Filina decided to ignore the red eyed man beside her.
As if to make her angry, he gently pushed her arm.

 

Then, the red eyed man who had been shaking his shoulders and laughing all by himself, as if it was funny, started to speed up all at once.

 

And in an instant, he was in first place.

 

Only half a lap left.

 

If she continued like this, she would be in fourth place.
At least third place was safe.
Filina decided to pass the masked man in front of her.

 

Her feet accelerated a little more.
It wouldn’t be too difficult to catch up to him.

 

She was already comfortably in third place.

 

“Whoa!” 

 

Suddenly there was a person running towards them, making a strange noise.
Filina turned with a furrowed brow.

 

The last-place man was seen sprinting with a red face.

 

What a mess.

 

Even so, he was pushed back again after a short time.

 

As she looked behind her, her eyes caught a glimpse of the masked man.

 

His face was half hidden so she couldn’t see much, but the black irises seemed to be staring at Filina.
She turned her face forward like it was no big deal.

 

Second place was good anyway.
She was going to catch up momentarily.

 

She was almost at her final destination.

 

Just then, a small breeze passed by.

 

In an instant, the masked man passed by her and emitted a very familiar scent.
Filina’s pupils expanded significantly.

 

“Candidate 082, 152 second entry.”

 

First place went to the man in the mask.
In second place was the red eyed man that momentarily stole her seat.

 

Filina managed to overtake the muscular man and came in third.
She was so startled by the sudden familiar scent that she couldn’t go fast enough and almost came in fourth.

 

She didn’t expect the man who was running behind her to pass her.

 

She couldn’t believe he won first place……

 

It was an amazing result.

 

“Thank you all for your hard work.”

 

The instructor could be seen greeting the audience as he checked the scores.
However, Filina looked stunned and couldn’t move from her original position.

 

“Godd*mn it!”

 

The man who came last stood angrily and pushed Filina’s shoulders aside as he walked past.
It was none other than the man with the red irises who caught her as she wobbled to the side.

 

“Why are you doing this?”

 

She could hear his voice, but she couldn’t answer anything.
She couldn’t understand why her body was shaking so much.

 

Filina turned and looked around.
She couldn’t find where the man in the black mask had disappeared to.

 

He had incredibly dark black hair and black pupils that seemed to absorb all the light in the world.

 

A cool energy that didn’t fit him at all brought back familiar memories.

 

Filina laughed in vain.

 

How could she not know?

 

That familiar scent…

 

She roughly shook off the man who was grabbing her shoulders and got to her feet.

 

She had to find him.
She had to check it with her own eyes.

 

What kind of face he had behind the mask…

 

“……Where did you go?”

 

All the people who had finished their exams grabbed their bags and went outside.
Filina also walked out of the performance hall with the others.

 

“Miss Filina, are you done with your exams?”

 

Enoch, who had been waiting outside the examination hall, stepped closer.
Looking around, Filina grabbed Enoch’s wrist and urgently asked.

 

“Have you seen the man in the black mask?”

 

“…Black mask?”

 

There was no time to wait for Enoch’s reply.
Filina moved her feet to check the black-haired man’s face every step of the way.

 

How could she not recognize him? He was this close to her, just a hand’s distance away, but she didn’t even suspect anything.

 

“…Leon.”

 

She dropped her head to the ground.
She couldn’t find him.
It was like a false image that had already been scattered.
