[System thinks that Host's concern about friend is trivial and in poor taste for a Villian.]
Not now, System.
[System merely wishes to remind Host that as a Novice Villain, Host should be creating problems and commiting crimes.]
I'm not actually trying to be a villain, remember?
[System remembers. System also remembers that Host has been remarkably successful at villain-adjacent activities despite claims of being a hero. Perhaps Host has more natural talent for villainy than Host realizes.]
"Are you trying to force me onto the path of villiany." Lucas asked with a brow raised.
[No, no, not at all. System would never do anything to harm Host.]
Lucas ignored the System's commentary and rejoined his friends as they headed toward their respective dorms to rest before dinner.
