Became a Third-Rate Villain in the Hero Academy

197 – goosebumps (1)

─Ellinia Academy Festival [Martial Arts Contest], The winner of the first match of the semifinals is Miss Irene Aslan!

The match between Irene and Tarkan ended in less than a minute.

In fact, the contents of the game were trivial.

Although Irene’s skills were superior to Tarkan’s in some ways, it was because she was in a state of wounds, large and small, from Kurok, the Lizardman, her opponent in the quarterfinals.

There is no word ‘moderately’ in the fight between Orcs and Lizardmen. Even light sparring will only end when it breaks in one place.

Of course, Irene barely managed to beat Julia, her quarterfinal opponent, but she was not seriously injured.

Compared to the rival Orcs and Lizardmen, the two competed in good faith.

“After.”

Irene took a short deep breath and looked around her seats.

‘Ah, you’re back.’

Unknowingly, Theo was right there.

When his eyes met, he nodded his head with a calm expression.

Irene nodded her head as well.

Theo’s opponent in the quarterfinals is Ragmar, the Lizardman.

Unlike his own opponent, Tar Khan, Ragmar was unscathed in the quarterfinals. He won a complete victory with overwhelming skill.

‘If it’s an anomaly, it’s an anomaly…’

Still, Theo will make it to the finals. He also has excellent breathing skills now.

‘By the way, the organizers of the [Martial Arts Competition] Are really bad. Thinking of putting Theo and me in the finals.’

[Martial Arts Tournament] Is a single elimination rule where once you lose, you are eliminated without exception.

However, you cannot know in advance who your next opponent will be. [Martial Arts Tournament] It’s up to the organizers. This is to create a matchup that will maximize box office success.

‘Anyway…’

To Irene, that fact didn’t matter.

─Face Theo in the finals of the Academy Festival’s most popular competition.

This fact alone made the corners of her mouth twitch.

With countless people watching, he plays with his fiancé. Even in the finals!

How romantic this is.

* * *

‘f*ck.’

Theo’s insides were rotting.

Because of Isabella and Ragmar.

‘Not long after I moved to the dressing room, Isabella left the field.’

Since I confirmed this to Amy, it must be certain.

······ She, who hadn’t appeared at all since her freshman entrance ceremony, revealed her appearance after a really long time.

But the [Martial Arts Tournament] Went straight back without watching a single match?

This means that the purpose of the visit itself had nothing to do with watching the game.

‘I can’t even guess how far it has been read. There’s no proper countermeasure, so let’s see how Isabella comes out.’

······Then Ragmar. He is the fourth member of the Lizardmen Cartel.

Theo’s goal is to win the [Martial Arts Tournament]. However, the condition of Ragmar, whom I have to face in the quarterfinals, is too good.

In terms of mere physical strength, Ragmar surpasses the leader of the Lizardmen, Shagrod.

It is not an opponent that can guarantee victory.

‘It’s not like Tarkan did any meaningful damage to Irene.’

Looking at the outside, Irene is currently very fine.

Objectively, her own powers are at least one level lower than her Irene, even with buff magic and [Overlord].

‘Nothing really goes according to plan.’

But after the fight with Ragmar, using the imitation elixir to recover is too much of a waste.

‘······If I think about it more, the proper number won’t come out, and I’ll just break my mentality.’

After thinking about it for a long time, Theo made a decision.

Stop thinking and move your body.

Let’s leave it to intuition rather than reason.

* * *

Above the stadium.

I looked at Ragmar standing in front of me.

‘End as soon as possible.’

In order to increase my chances of winning, I have to preserve my stamina and fatigue as much as possible.

Ragmar, holding a blunt weapon in each hand, looked at me and said.

“Nice to meet you, Theo. I’ve always wanted to stick together, but it’s even more meaningful to meet in a place like this.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes. The other day, during the Knights Faculty’s 2 vs. 2 Tournament, Noctar. I was really impressed with the match against that green pig. It felt like my blood was boiling.”

Ragmar laughed, shaking the horns of his head.

The sight of the big lizard’s head trembling was terrifying.

“I’m glad I did. I hope it will be a good match.”

“Of course. The green pigs I’ve met so far have been so boring. Noctar is good enough to stick with. Look forward to it, Theo! “

“·······.”

Ragmar’s words are not bluffing.

He can hardly use magic, but he is very good at physical and martial arts. Among the Orcs and Lizardmen, it would be next to Noctar.

It is more like a hybrid with the physicality of an Orc and the brain of a Lizardman.

“·······Expect it.”

The presenter, who was listening to my conversation with Ragmar, smiled and shouted.

─Ellinia Academy [Martial Arts Tournament] Semifinals, second match! Let’s start now!

As soon as the match started, Ragmar dug into me.

But he didn’t come closer than a certain distance.

······Are you saying you won’t play your hand first?

The game management is quite good.

But I am the rotten water of this work.

When I was playing the original work, I also remembered Ragmar’s weakness, which appeared only once briefly.

From noble mtl dot com

His weakness is that his left vision is poor.

Wow!

Immediately, I lowered myself and dug into Ragmar’s left side.

And immediately stabbed three times in a row. The hitting points are the neck, side, and thigh, respectively.

─But.

KANG, KANG, KANG!

Ragmar easily parried the stab from his square.

······Can you stop this?

I haven’t used [Overlord], But I’ve used the [Hast] Buff.

Rag Marr laughed wildly and swung the blunt weapons in his hands.

“hahahaha—! Sometimes the green pigs come in handy!”

Whoo, whoo!

The roar of a blunt weapon tearing through the air.

“I realized while fighting them last week, my left vision is weak. Ha ha ha ha-! It feels great!”

Ragmar’s blunt temper did not intend to stop.

I dodged without blocking.

Because it’s difficult, avoiding it consumes much less stamina and fatigue than blocking.

Ragmar distorted his ferocious face as if I was annoyed at my avoidance.

“······Oh, Theo. Do you still have any hidden cards? Hurry up and get it out! Are you a human too? You’re sneaky!”

“·······.”

I want to do that too.

However, there was no time to counterattack.

‘······It seems to have less strength than Noktar, but it is faster.’

I can’t help it.

I have no choice but to use [Overlord].

I immediately used the amplified [Overlord] And quickly burrowed into Ragmar’s arms.

When the distance between me and Ragmar was less than 5 cm.

Bakak!

I hit him on the chin with the pommel of my sword—the point of the hilt.

“Big…!”

A painful voice escaped from Ragmar’s large mouth.

······Do not miss an opportunity once it has come.

I swung my left elbow one after another, squeak! Hit him on the chin

It is a series of techniques that I have arranged in my own way based on the martial arts I saw from Jang Woo-hee.

“hahahahaha, there really is a reason those green pigs are crazy about you!”

Ragmar swung a blunt weapon at me, his jaw still spinning.

······There is no need to fight against an opponent with better stats than me who used [Overlord].

Tadat, blame!

I backstepped quickly, opening up some distance.

Then,

···3.

2.

1.

After counting three seconds in my mind, I burrowed into Ragmar again. This time it was on the right side.

Huuugh—!

Ragmar’s blunt weapon sweeps past where I was standing just before.

It was much faster than before.

······However, as long as [Overlord] Lasts, there is no chance of getting hit.

I applied slashes and thrusts that did not contain any force.

As expected, Ragmar blocks everything.

But it doesn’t matter. It was a fake move anyway.

Bakak!

I dug straight into the left side and swung my left elbow once more, striking him on the chin.

His head turned wide on the other side.

‘Is it the end?’

The chin is a vital part of the body regardless of race.

Entered correctly. To the point where my elbows that were hit are all tingling.

This should be enough.

“・・・・・・Whoa.”

I looked at Ragmar with calm eyes.

But Ragmar stood still.

“Ha ha ha ha…”

His body was shaking.

“I never thought I would be fooled like this by humans only with taijutsu.”

The cause of the tremors was not pain.

‘f*ck… That’s it.’

It was anger.

I frowned as hard as I could.
