Of all things, a third-rate villain

As the world's premier magical educational institution, it is a prestigious academy where talents selected from each country enroll. It is known as a core institution that maintains the world order by cultivating outstanding mages, knights, scholars, and alchemists, and it consists of a four-year curriculum.
Magical power is the energy that flows through all life and nature in the world.
All humans are born with a mana core, through which they store and release magical power.

The size and purity of the mana core vary from person to person and can be grown to some extent through postnatal training.
Magic is broadly divided into eight major attributes.
The eight attributes consist of Fire, Nature, Lightning, Earth, Nature, Wind, Ice, Holy, and Darkness.

Generally, a person has an aptitude for one or two attributes, and in rare cases, they may have aptitudes for more.
Magic of an attribute one has an aptitude for is approximately twice as powerful and mana-efficient as magic they do not.
Along with magic, it is a combat technique representing the continent and is divided into Royal Swordsmanship, Fast Swordsmanship, Heavy Swordsmanship, Magic Swordsmanship, and Soft Swordsmanship.

Arcadia Academy, the continent's greatest educational institution.
Future sword saints, archmages, knight commanders, and heroes all grow here.
And within that brilliant story, there was one villain whom no one remembered.
A third-rate noble who relied only on his family's power to torment the weak and grovel before the strong.
A person with no skill, no popularity, and no future.
In the original work, his fate was to cause numerous incidents, be abandoned by everyone, and meet a hollow end.
When I opened my eyes, I had become that very villain.
The entrance ceremony was already over, and the first ranking match had passed.
To the students, I was a troublemaker to be avoided.
To the professors, a headache.
To the student council, a target for surveillance.
My reputation had already hit rock bottom.
I know all the developments of the original work.
But can I really change my fate in this state?
To survive.
And to leave behind a name for myself, not as a villain no one remembers.
The story begins from the moment everything has already gone wrong.
