World's Strongest Became the Game's Weakest Villain

I and Albert climbed out of the window and went to the top of the carriage. The breeze hit us well as the trees on both sides breezed behind us, all of them swaying in the wind. My hair fluttered and so did Albert’s as he finally found some semblance of calming down after being away from Miss Rio.

"So, this bad feeling of yours, what is it?"

"That…" Albert looked away.

"Hm, if you don’t want to tell me then its fine."

"No, it’s not like that… I am just sure you will laugh. Anyway, longer path, I doubt anything will happen here." Albert nodded. "If it does, I have Eugene Hall! I’ll just throw you to the wolves."

I waved his words away and leaned back.

Man… were carriages slow.

Albert didn’t get a chance to tell me what his bad feeling was.

Just as we neared the borders of the kingdom of sages, the sound of a horn tooting in the distant forests filled my ears. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

My eyes perked up as I looked around. The trees formed a great cover and no one seemed to be around for the eye. At that moment, from the window below peeked out Miss Irina again.

"Hey brats, did you hear that?"

"I did," I said. "Is there a war going on around?"

"I wonder, maybe you can LOOK and tell."

"Damn it, miss Irina! Do you see anything through the trees? Do you!?"

"I could if I was up there."

"Then get up here!"

"Nah," Irina shrugged. "If something happens, you deal with it alone. That’s your assignment number one in this holiday punishment."

"Yeah, I was going to do that anyway."

"Whatever. Damn are carriages slow." Irina went back inside and then peeked out. "Here, take some sandwiches, its from your maids."

"Oh, thanks."

I took the dish of sandwiches from Irina’s hands placed it in between Albert and I. So that it doesn’t run away in the wind, I made sure to use some psychokinesis to hold it in place.

Albert nervously chewed on the bread while looking around like a teenager looking for his crush.

"Dude, what is it?"

Right then, the horn tooted again, this time much closer than before.

I sighed and focused my senses around.

It seemed quite a few people had surrounded us and were trying to aim for the carriage. People I didn’t know or hear of before.

"Lord Eugene," This time Marcin peeked out. "It seems we are surrounded. Please let us handle this as a way to show our sincerity."

"That would take too long." I sighed. Just scaring them away would work.

I noticed a few magic spells being casted en masse not eh ground and the air around us and snapped my fingers. The spells broke apart in the blink of an eye. The next thing I did wad to use my aura and cover the place around completely.

Albert blinked.

And then turned my way.

"What… the fuck—"

The mana and Ki in the air, the trees, the ground, the dirt, everything came under my control. The carriage trembled fiercely as an Earthaquake spread through the city. The people around started shaking and a crack ran through the ground around us, only the path ahead unfazed.

The trees surrounding us collapsed, and so did a bunch of robed figures with the emblem of a grape on their coats.

Albert too fell to the ground, and so did the horses dragging us ahead.

"Y-young master!!?"

"What is happening?"

"Hey brats, are you ok?"

The two teachers and Keith screamed at me as they looked up. Their eyes widened and their lips slightly trembling.

When Irina Lester realized I was emitting this pressure, she came further up and placed a hand on my shoulder.

"Hey, you’re ok."

"What do you even mean!?"

"Oh? I thought you were emotionally unstable."

"Do I look like you to you? Shut up, why would I be unstable here?"

"In that case, Eugene…" Miss Rio spoke, her voice hesitant. "Please pull your pressure back, you’re going to kill someone at this rate."

I looked around. In the distance, the trees were still quaking. From the lands about a few kilometers away, the ground started shaking down.

I could see some especially strong individuals around falling on the ground and reeling in pain.

"Oh, did I go too overboard?"

I asked and pulled all my pressure back.

Albert sighed in relief.

"What?… What in the world was that? This goes way beyond my analysis!"

"Young master, I have never felt pressure like that, what did you do?"

"Oh, I just…" I grinned at the two and also at the teachers that were curiously looking at me. "I used some ancient techniques."

Two months. Without getting stronger at all?

Fuck that.

Eugene Hall never grew weak. Never. I used all the books and licked up every single bit of knowledge in them, ancient techniques long lost, modern ones we couldn’t handle, all of it was in my arsenal.

I had taken the time to merge and mix many techniques, this time, instead of just pressuring the air, I had taken control of mana from even the ground and the stones and the trees, it was a mixture of life-force and normal mana techniques.

"Crazy…" muttered Irina. "You’re really a problem child, aren’t you?"

"How rude, I am not that bad."

"You are."

"Am not."

"Ahem ahem," A that moment, some of the people on the ground started coughing out loud and turned our way.

Miss Rio took a glance and muttered. "Those crests, aren’t they from the pinot kingdom?"

"Give back! Our prince, you heathen!"

All of us turned to look at Albert.

"Eugene… hey, you remember the condition right?"

"Not worth it anymore."

"HEY! You really can’t throw me at them, alright? You really can’t."

What to do.

"When you say that I want to do it even more, Albert."

Without hesitation, I picked him up and tossed him to his friends.

"PRINCE—ACK!"

In the face, of course.

"Now then," I hopped down and stretched my arms above my head. While the horses would recover, I needed a pastime. "Care tell, why the grand kingdom of Pinot dared attack me?!"
