My villain wants to save himself, but the yandere heroine disagrees

"Of course I won't teach you how to govern a country, but don't you want to settle accounts with the people who actually framed you in secret, as you said." Raven stood up and opened his arms.

"You can think that I am the real culprit behind everything, and you can even execute me right now. I will not resist. But please think carefully. If I die, the person who framed you will go unpunished."

The raven's words took root in Arthas's mind like seeds, and the firm words made Arthas couldn't help but have a trace of doubt.

But Arthas still shook his head, and when he raised his head again, his eyes were full of determination.

"You are the cause of all this. I will not let you go, and neither will the law. Your only end is death."

"As for the person who secretly framed me, if he really exists, I will naturally not let him go, but it is not your turn to comment here!"

After saying this harsh words, he turned around and left the cell.

Raven sat in the corner of the cell again, looked at Arthas's back as he left, and laughed mockingly twice.

"You can only be a pawn."

……

At the Imperial Academy, the end of the semester is approaching and the long-delayed training is finally about to begin. Each class will go to the travel destination under the leadership of the instructor, who is also the class teacher.

Because there had already been an event against orcs in the first half of the semester, the training time in the second half of the semester was shortened by half, and the score ratio was ultimately decided to be half of that in previous years.

This period of time every year is the emptiest time in the Imperial College. Not only do the students leave, but even the teachers go there to protect the students' safety. The vendors have no business during this time and they all go home for the holidays.

Only the college's security was still operating normally, and even had several times more manpower than usual.

Because of the different training locations, each class had a different departure time. Orson's class's training location was in the snowfield in northern Lucia, which was also the training location for Leet's class, so the two classes chose to depart on the same day.

Chapter 5: Lapland

The Duchy of Lucia cannot be said to be the least visible duchy in the empire. After all, the Duchy of Lucia once had a duke of great ambition and vision. But from today's perspective, the Duchy of Lucia is indeed the weakest duchy in the empire.

Even the Duchy of Antica, which was previously the weakest in the empire, was much better than the Duchy of Lucia after resolving the border threat of orcs.

The reason for this is that there is a lot of permafrost in the Duchy of Lucia, especially in the northern region, which is covered with snow all year round.

Even though it was already hot summer in other parts of the empire, the northern part of Lucia was still covered in ice and snow.

This kind of environment can hardly create any value except tourism.

However, even though the conditions are so harsh, there are still some people in Lucia who have been staying on the snowfield. They are called Snow People by the locals.

Yes, the land in the north cannot support many people, and naturally cannot provide much income. The people living here can only get enough food and clothing all year round. The benevolent Duke Lucia naturally would not collect taxes from them, but instead gave them considerable autonomy.

In addition to those who have defended the snowfield for generations, the majority of people here are those who have fled from debt in the south, or those who were persecuted by the Duke and exiled here.

Therefore, people living on the snowfields almost never consider themselves to be Lucians.

The students of the Imperial Academy boarded a carriage heading north in Karelia, the northernmost city in the Duchy of Lucia. While the convoy was resting, Triss gathered the students together and told them about the northern snowfields.

"This snowfield is called Lapland in the local dialect of Lucia. Therefore, the locals who enjoy autonomy here are also called Laplanders. From today on, when you meet strangers in the snowfield, you cannot call them Lucia when you greet them. You must call them Laplanders, otherwise they will be angry."

Triss taught.

"Because the terrain of the snowfield is very complex and the weather is relatively bad, sometimes when a blizzard comes you have to find a place to hide and keep warm. The locals are undoubtedly the best guides for you to survive here." Triss said this and glanced at the classmates around her.

"Our second-year students have different tasks than first-year students. First-year students are mainly tasked with surviving around the snowfield for a month without the help of others, but second-year students are different. The second-year students' task is to go deep into the snowfield."

When the students heard the tasks for the two grades, they pricked up their ears and listened carefully.

"Teacher Triss, is there anything special in the depths of the snowfield?" At this time, a second-grade student raised his hand.

"That's what I'm going to say next." Triss smiled at him and then said, "Although thousands of years have passed and the people living here are a mixed bunch, the local Laplanders have their own unique beliefs. They have a temple deep in the snowfield. What you need to do is to learn as much as possible about the gods they believe in."

"Teacher Triss, why do we need to learn about the gods of a group of pagans?" the student asked curiously again.

“The purpose of research is not what you get in the end, but what you gain in the process,” Therese explained patiently.

"You don't have to get the final result to grow in academic ability, interpersonal skills, intelligence gathering and surviving ability, etc. As long as you try your best, you will still benefit a lot even if you don't succeed."

After saying this, Triss turned around and looked at the first-year students. Originally, she was going to talk with Hecatia this time, but she owed her a favor before, so she could only help her teach the first-year students.

Anyway, I just taught first grade last year.

"As for the first-year students, your seniors' mission is too difficult for you, so your mission is just to survive here. In the process of survival, you may encounter many troubles, threats from weather, food, wildlife, etc., which can also help you grow."

After saying this, Triss stood up.

"Well, from now on, hand in all your supplies."

Upon hearing this, the students below expressed confusion.

"What's wrong?" Triss frowned when she saw her classmates' performance, which scared many people.

"You are here to gain experience, not to take a vacation." Triss said this, and walked directly to a boy and took the bag next to him in front of him.

"Classmate Kyar, you seem to be well prepared. You have a tent, an axe, firewood, dry food, and this is... a construction blueprint?" Triss poured out the other person's things while repeating the names of the items inside.

Not everyone can afford a storage ring, so bags and backpacks infused with slightly lower-level space magic are used by some wealthy kids with fewer connections.

Although this type of magic item is not as convenient as a storage ring, and can't hold as many things as a storage ring, it is more common than the rare storage rings.

The classmates next to him were amazed to see how well prepared he was. Most of them had only brought some camping gear, but they didn't expect that he was really planning to take a vacation.

"So those pieces of wood in front of you are not firewood. I was wondering why firewood is so big." Triss said this, looking at Kyar in front of her with a smile.

The boy named Keyar lowered his head, his face flushed.

"I'm sorry... Teacher Triss, please take all these things away."

"Okay, I'll keep it for you." Triss didn't say much and then looked at everyone else.

"Those of you who have brought space props, please hand them over. I will help you put a seal on your storage ring for one month, and it will be automatically lifted after the training is over."

The students immediately let out a wail.

Triss completed the seal for everyone, until she came to Orson, she stopped, looked up and looked at Orson with a smile.

Orson smiled back.

"Teacher Triss, please help me seal the storage ring."

"Okay~" Triss nodded, then took the space ring directly from Orson's hand.

"What are you thinking, teacher? Don't you think I don't know?"

Looking at Orson's surprised eyes, Triss smiled smugly.

Of course she knew that her seal was ineffective on Orson. Since magic didn't work, she could only use physical means.

"Teacher...this isn't a good idea." Seeing that Triss had tricked him, Orson could only speak helplessly.

"There's nothing I can do. You're so outstanding, Orson. You're so outstanding that the teacher doesn't think he can guarantee fairness." Triss sighed, then smiled and said:

"Hehe, it's okay, teacher. I'm just keeping it for you. I won't look at anything in there, not even if there's a bad portrait of me!"

"How is it possible that such a thing exists?" Orson couldn't help but complain.

Teacher Therese is a little too unreasonable!

Moreover, after hearing what Triss said, Olivia next to him put her hand on her waist!

Chapter 6: Taking Back a City

After sorting out the things, Therese distributed the daily necessities prepared by the college to the students.

In addition to two sets of winter uniforms for each person, there are also some simple survival tools. With the students' abilities, surviving here is not a problem.

After all, the standard for entering the Imperial Academy is to be at least at the second level. After nearly two semesters of training, including an orc invasion, even the first-year students have reached at least the third level. Not to mention that these students are all from Class One, Grade One, and are already top-ranked students. Most of them have already exceeded the fourth level, and the best among them, such as Litt, Lianka, and Lena, are at least at the sixth level.

Not to mention Class 1, Grade 2, most of the students are at level 5. Orson, Olivia, Elsa, Manuel and others are now at level 7 or above.

One hundred masters above level four will begin their own training on the vast snowfields of Lapland.

It is worth mentioning that this experience does not encourage large-scale team formation, especially when resources are relatively scarce in the snowfield. A large scale often means that the allocation of resources within the unit space will become less.

Five days later.

The group's convoy arrived at the northern part of Karelia, the last post station on the border between the Duchy of Lucia and the Autonomous Region of Lapland. After passing here, everyone's training will officially begin.

Normally there aren't many travelers coming and going here. They are all merchants doing fur business, and the scale of the business is not large. More than a hundred people came at once, and the post station was unable to accommodate them, so they had to temporarily gather everyone in the hall.

Litt sat by a fireplace in the hall, leaning his hand against the fire.

Although the Imperial Academy's winter uniforms have good cold-resistant properties, they are still somewhat thin when facing the extremely harsh climate of the Lapland snowfields.

But Lena, who was sitting next to Lit, was different.

She simply swung the furry tail behind her in front of her and hugged it to keep warm.

At times like this, the tail keeps you warmer than a scarf or cotton cloth.

Lianka, who was sitting next to her, looked at Lena's tail with envy. Lena also noticed her gaze and swung her tail.

"Sister Lianka, do you want to touch it?"

"Yeah." Lianka nodded, then gently touched the other's tail, rubbed it a few times and then let go.

"I really envy you, Lena." Lianka said.

Therese stood among the students, watching everyone busy at work. She couldn't help feeling happy when she thought of the cruel reality that she would announce at that time.

The small space of the station means that the stored supplies are limited, and the students will face their first challenge.

Compete with others for limited supplies.

Just as she was thinking this, there was a sound suddenly coming from outside the door.

She walked out of the inn hall and was shocked when she saw the huge caravan at the door.

She had clearly calculated that no caravans would pass by here in the next few days, so why did something unusual happen at this time?

"Hello, is this the post station?" The leader of the caravan asked politely when he saw Triss coming out.

"Ah... yes, may I ask who you are..."

"We are from the Lison Chamber of Commerce. We are preparing to take over the fur business here these days. We have already talked to the person in charge of the post station. From today onwards, Lapland's fur business will be bought out by the Lison Chamber of Commerce, and the management rights of the post station will also be handed over to the Lison Chamber of Commerce." The other party said this and looked at the surrounding environment.

"Well, this is a good place, but the post station is a little small. It's not big enough to store our supplies. You guys, unload the goods, and then contact the logistics department to expand the post station here."

……

A few hours later, Triss looked at the several wooden houses that appeared out of nowhere in front of her and grinned.

"Is the Lison Chamber of Commerce so efficient? I just came to check out the place a few hours ago, and now the house has been built."

She couldn't help but complain.

Although the house was a simple wooden one and the other party also used the power of a magician, it still shocked Triss too much.

"There's nothing we can do. After all, our Lison Chamber of Commerce is now the empire's leading chamber of commerce. Our business must be expanded to all aspects. You will get used to it in the future." The person in charge of the chamber of commerce said with a smile.

"Of course, these are just temporary stations. We will expand them with better materials later."

At this time, the situation in Triss's original plan where there was a shortage of supplies and everyone had to scramble for them would no longer happen.

Because the supplies prepared by the Lison Chamber of Commerce here are enough to make everyone "unable to bear the consequences".

"Teacher, can we officially start our training mission now?"

At this time, Orson also came to Triss and asked with a smile.

When Triss saw Orson's smile, she knew at once that she had been tricked by Orson. She glared at Orson unhappily and then nodded.

"During this period of time, I will stay at this post and wait for you. You can inform them that if anyone can't hold on any longer, they can return to the post on their own initiative. However, once they return to the post to resupply supplies or seek support, the training will be considered over."

"I understand." Orson nodded and returned to the inn.

Triss looked at the temporary inn in front of her and could only walk in helplessly.

Forget it, it’s much better than squeezing myself into that crappy inn.

……

After informing the students about the start of the training and the relevant rules, Orson went to the person in charge of the Lison Chamber of Commerce Station.

"Mr. Orson, are you? We have prepared the items you need. Is there anything else you need?" The person in charge obviously knew that Orson was coming and bowed to him respectfully.

Orson shook his head.

"It's okay. I'm sorry for the trouble. I made you run all the way here just because of my impulse."

"It doesn't matter. The fur trade itself is one of the most valuable trades in the Dukedom of Lucia. We will enter this industry sooner or later."
