The Side Character's Obsession

Chapter 3: Trial(1)
Austin didn’t have any idea whether he would regain his memories or not. He was still the same Luke who belonged to a planet called Earth and died after being hit by a truck.
Thanks to the fact that he pays attention to the details provided in the game—under the assumption that the dialogues and details would somehow help him in the future—he could act like the Prince for now.
He was currently in the second year of the academy, with eighteen months remaining before graduation. Around that time the main villain would show up.
However, the current arc would pave the downfall of the villainess named Valerie
Yesterday, the Protagonist and Valerie got into a fight. Valerie is the strongest Aurakin in the academy.
Aurakin is just like a knight or warrior, however, in place of normal weapons, the students of this academy and around ten percent of the population can use a special type of tool called Spirit Shard.
Valerie is strong, and leagues above the Protagonist as of now. As such, when the confrontation occurred and the Protagonist lifted her weapon in a fit of rage, Valeria protected herself and broke the Protagonist’s Spirit Shard.
Breaking someone’s Spirit Shard while you are a student is outright illegal and Valerie broke the law.
Naturally, all the harem members were displeased with the Villainess. And Austin, the man who should have stood by his fiancée’s side at times like these, also supported the other party.
And not only that, Austin even humiliated her and broke off the engagement.
Valerie then gets criticised by other students, the teachers also ignore her, and at some point, a harem member of the Protagonist even framed her—resulting in her expulsion. Then, there was no mention of her for a long time, and when she appeared, Valerie was one of the Generals of the main boss.
Through any route Luke picked, he couldn’t stop Valerie from meeting such a miserable fate.
He actually sympathizes with her because she did her best to maintain her relationship with the man she adores, but...
“Young Master? Are you unwell?” Hearing Sebastian’s voice, Austin was shook off his daze before he said,
“No, I am quite fine. Anyway, have you written what I just told you?” The white-haired man nodded before Austin looked at the notepad and gave a satisfied nod.
Just as he picked up the notepad, the butler couldn’t help but ask, “Are you sure about this master? Expressing the event in such details might put Lady Valerie into more trouble.”
One could sense that the old man pitied the girl and it was natural. Valerie and Austin were childhood friends so the old man has seen her growing up as well.
After entering the academy, Austin and Valerie drifted apart, but for the butler, they both were still the same.
Austin sighed, “Whatever I will do today, is for the best.”
Saying so the blond Prince walked out of the room and headed towards the Principal’s office, where the others were waiting.
It was already evening and there weren’t many students around. However, everyone was aware of the incident regarding Valerie that’s why students were glancing and whispering about Austin as well.
The short walk from the dormitory to the main building came to an end, and Austin was standing right before the Headmaster’s office.
‘Let’s do this.’
KNOCK
Just as he knocked, the door was opened from the other side, revealing the face of a familiar teacher who was a named character in the game.
After all, he is also a potential love interest.
“Professor Morkel.” Austin greeted the man with a nod before stepping inside the office
There were quite many people inside, including the Headmaster, Vice-headmaster, and Austin’s homeroom teacher.
