Fated to Be Loved by Villains

༺ Memory ༻

Walter Gares, the Senior Professor and the Dean of the Theology School, was a well-known eccentric in Elfante.

Sometimes, people would find him dancing half-naked while drinking hard liquor straight from its bottle on top of Gregory hall. At other times, they’d see him jumping off a height of hundreds of meters, trying to test the limits of Divine Power. You’d also find him singing hymns boisterously at the most random of times.

Of course, there were times when he did all of these at once.

Actually, I didn’t need to bring such examples. Any sane person who had encountered him for more than three seconds would agree that you couldn’t associate him with the word normal at all.

“The Vortex of Fate, the Call of Stars, and the Primordial Curse borne by the Black Flame Dragon sleeping in my right arm have guided our meeting to this place.”

“…”

[…What is he babbling about?]

‘He said he’s pleased to meet me.’
