Team villains except me

Chapter 534 "Useless Effort"

Elita didn't know Norvia, but she knew very well what kind of person her little Valai was.

Such stubborn people will not change their made choices no matter what words are used to persuade them.

But the wait was indeed long. She looked at the young boy with white hair and blue eyes, and saw his hesitation as he wanted to say something to break the silence. She knew that this child had a soft heart.

She wanted to be gentle and make the other person feel comfortable, but this gentle approach wouldn't bring her any benefits.

Valerio was the same, but Valerio was very proud, so even if he really did something, he would say with a sour face that it was charity.

Alita folded her arms and leaned against the wall with a slightly relaxed expression.

"At a time like this, words are useless. Nolvaya Laili, this isn't the first time I've seen you, nor the first time I've heard of you. I have a rough idea of ​​what kind of person you are. There's no need to think about how to put me at ease. Put yourself in my shoes. If your teammate was like Valerio, you'd be incredibly upset."

To be honest, waiting is the most powerless thing. You don’t know the outcome, you don’t know if he will wake up again.”

Alita's gaze was fixed.

"If he can't wake up, what can we do to protect everything he has?"

Norvia was unusually speechless. Her busy life had already consumed her, and the death of Teacher Matija had dealt a crushing blow. Now that Teacher Valerio was unconscious, her words dried up, her heart restless to the point of pausing.

Alita doesn't need empty comfort, she needs a solution. But Nolvia can't tell her what to do, because she is not Valerio's teacher, she doesn't know what Valerio did specifically and what caused his coma.

If Teacher Valerio never wakes up again...

Norvia didn't want to think about it anymore. At this moment, she thought of Teacher Musa, who had lost both her friend and her mother, and she felt the pain deeply.

The pain made her curl her hands. She couldn't lose two teachers at once. She couldn't lose more family members.

Her face was so pale that Alita stared at her closely and then sighed.

"Kids these days are so much more fragile than we were back then. The one who's unconscious now is my teammate, and he's not dead yet..."

Alita remembered that the Beast Warrior who died was also the teacher of the child in front of her.

She pursed her lips and softened her tone.

"Since you're Little Valais' student, we should get to know each other a bit. You've met my other friends, right? Suhaded and the others. At my age, calling them teammates seems a bit childish. I'm not much younger than Aunt Julia. I awakened my magic after I got married, and then came to Abosgar.

I originally came here to gild my status. My family background is ordinary, but I married a nobleman. We were in a free love relationship, and he took on a lot of pressure to marry me. I felt sorry for him and wanted to narrow the gap between us, so I worked hard to get into Abesig.

Norvia had a vague feeling that this story would not end happily.

Elita caught a glimpse of Nolvia's expression and smiled.

When she smiled, there were fine lines under her eyes, like a fishing net cut by a knife, stretching out and capturing the truth of many years.

"Yes, this isn't a love story with a happy ending. There may indeed be significant differences between commoners and nobles, but the heart of a lover should be the same. I haven't changed my heart, but my noble ex-husband easily separated his love from his body. He began to have many lovers, but he steadfastly stated that he only loved me. Our love was not sexually mixed. He could have children with others, but his heart was still mine.

I believed it. I couldn't help it. I'd invested so much in this relationship, so much so that I didn't even realize how much of him I was. But I couldn't bear it. I felt like he was dirty. I was driving myself crazy. I was as thin as a skeleton. I knew I had to end it.

I decided to break up with my ex-husband. He was mad, he thought I was unreasonable. He was killing me, hurting himself in front of me, saying it was all because of me, that he just loved me too much. It was a very difficult time, and Rafael was by my side. You're a little like him. You're both gentle people, I know, and I might have been one too. Rafael saved me. He didn't always say anything, but he pushed me to make the right choices at every critical moment.

The other members of the team complained about Rafael because they felt bad for Valle, but I couldn't blame him. Before he disappeared, he specifically asked me to take care of Valle. I think he knew something, but he couldn't say it.

Even if he hadn't said it, I would have taken care of Valerio. After the divorce, my ex-husband still haunted us. Rafael had disappeared, Valerio was devastated, and Suha, acting captain, was constantly busy. Everyone had their own struggles, and I wouldn't bring my own problems into the mix and cause more trouble for our team.

But one day, my ex-husband disappeared. He died in a revenge plot. I wasn't his first wife; he always used love as an excuse to marry commoners, then abused them in every way. He died at the hands of a poor girl's mother. And it was Valerio who protected that mother, allowing her to dare to seek revenge for her daughter.

Alita looked at the closed doors and windows. Her voice was soft and her tone was gentle, like a mother singing a lullaby to her child.

"I became a theologian because of Valerio. He's always been obsessed with creating a 'new world'. He's a genius, the spokesperson for the Star Gods. He's always worried, planning something, but he won't tell us, yet he hurriedly summoned us back to Abersgar. This is a form of protection. Little Valerio used to be like this. When he felt danger, he liked to gather everyone around him so he could keep an eye on them.

Suha had always suspected something was going to happen to Valerio. I felt the same way, but I felt it was all the fault of the 'New World'. The Star God misled Valerio, leading him to a negative outcome when he touched the edge. I thought, if I could prove that there was no 'New World', if I could convince him, then he wouldn't allow Suha's fantasy to become reality.

Valerio and I don't keep in touch much, we don't often chat. He has no close family besides Aunt Julia, and I always tell him to take care of himself. When he can't, he subconsciously avoids me and avoids talking to me. But every year, his birthday presents always arrive on time, expensive and thoughtful. Whenever I learn something new, or discover a hidden truth about the gods, or some of their quirks, I write it down and mail it to Valerio. I hope he understands that his premonitions don't mean the end of the world, and that he doesn't have to bear the responsibility of building a new one.

Aelita let out a long breath. She looked at Nolvia and gave her a typical fake smile.

"...But now it seems that I have been doing useless work all these years, right?"
