Became a Third-Rate Villain in the Hero Academy

201 – goosebumps (5)

‘What?’

Irene, who had been attacking Theo, stopped the attack for an instant.

A strange energy emanated from Theo.

Irene stepped back quickly.

“·······.”

Contrary to what I thought, Theo didn’t move.

He did not move a single step from where he was standing, and his head was lowered.

‘What?’

Irene tilted her head.

For an instant, she felt a chilling fear from him.

─Twenty seconds left until the match ends!

The presenter’s voice is heard.

20 Seconds. Time too short to turn the game around.

With a very high probability, Irene will win by decision without doing anything more.

But that didn’t suit her temper.

“After.”

Irene let out a short breath and the car was about to run into Theo again.

──Goooooh.

Powerful energy emanated from Theo.

“Ugh, huh?”

It’s hot and cool at the same time.

Irene instinctively took a defensive stance against that foreign aura.

However, defense was meaningless.

It was because Theo, who had burrowed into her arms in an instant, stabbed her with a sword.

“Turn it off…!”

Puguk——!

A heavy blow landed on her slender abdomen.

Irene’s eyes are wide open. Because Theo didn’t move at all.

‘Let’s avoid it for now. This is strange.’

Enduring her pain, Irene rolled out of Theo’s range with her back roll.

──But it was meaningless.

Spaul——!

Theo burrowed into her in an instant and cut her.

A huge attack that cuts from her left shoulder to her right pelvis in one hit.

The greaves Irene was wearing were torn.

“Turn it off…!”

But this time, I couldn’t see his movement.

Is this what it would feel like to be possessed by a ghost?

“······Lee, Lee!”

Still, Irene did not let go of the sword in her right hand.

She slams her Theo down as soon as she gets under herself.

However, it did not reach.

After Theo approaches Irene to the point where her breath touches.

Beep—!

She hit her chin straight with her right elbow.

A powerful elbow attack with acceleration.

Dduduk——!

With the sound of her neck bone, Irene’s jaw jerks in the opposite direction.

Took.

Irene’s sword lands on her floor.

Slowly.

Irene’s body collapses.

Her knees touched the arena floor with a face of disbelief on her face.

Kugoong.

Irene collapsed on the arena floor.

Down.

In less than 10 seconds, the presenter belatedly counted down the incident.

─···Down. Miss Irene, it’s Down! Let the countdown begin! 10, 9, 8, 7, 6…

The countdown ended, but Irene couldn’t get up again.

She was sprawled on the floor, just as she had fallen.

Exclaimed the presenter.

─It’s a catastrophe, a cataclysm! Teo, who was on the defensive 30 seconds before the end of the game, won at once! It’s the perfect upset! ······The final winner of the Great Ellinia Academy Festival [Martial Arts Contest] Is Theo Lin Balderk of the Faculty of Bravery!

It was a come-from-behind victory that no one expected.

According to the presenter, Theo, who was in a hurry to defend against Irene’s attacks throughout the match, won in an instant.

Due to the unexpected twist, the audience was silent.

Claire’s eyes were still wide.

‘······This is nonsense. Is that just a freshman move? No, are you a student in the first place?’

Theo’s movements in the second half of the game were very fast.

I almost missed his movement for a moment.

Unsurprisingly, even the most high-ranking knights of the church could not make such a move.

‘Is that why the saintess was interested in that…?’

Claire nodded, his eyes shining.

‘It’s going to be a pretty fun mission in a while.’

There was no final interview.

To be precise, it was impossible to proceed.

Shortly after the match, Theo collapsed on top of Irene.

Irene, who had collapsed earlier, also showed no sign of getting up, so the two of them were carried out on a stretcher in pairs.

The two were moved to a hospital room in the building of the healer’s guild [The Hilte].

A group of Theo, including Aisha, Sienna, Seria, and Jang Woo-hee, followed suit.

Theo and Irene are lying on a white bed, with no sign of waking up.

Aisha looked at the two and said.

“Oooh… What is this? I made reservations at a high-end restaurant to celebrate whoever wins, but this kind of thing happens.”

“・・・・・・I will, Ms. Aisha. I don’t know if I should be happy or sad.”

Seria said calmly.

Isilder shrugged.

“Well, it’s right to be happy, right? Both the winner and the runner-up came from the same team. And as the therapist noona said, Irene simply passed out, and Theo was exhausted. It’s not even hurt at all.”

“······Passing out due to accumulated fatigue is not common.”

Woohee Jang muttered in a low voice.

Aisha looked at Sienna and said.

“Miss Sienna, the anti-fatigue pill she gave to Theo earlier. No more of that? If it’s accumulated fatigue, I think it’ll work.”

“Sorry, but no. It was the last time she gave it to Theo. By the way, Theo lays down when he wants to use some strength. This is true…”

Sienna stared at Theo lying on her bed for some time with a vague look.

Then—

From noble mtl dot com

“Sickly Theo is so cute too~ He looks like a sick baby~!”

She hugged the defenseless Theo tightly. He still seemed dead, his eyes closed.

Sienna pouted her own pink lips and tried to bring them to his cheeks.

“!”

Startled, Isha grabbed Sienna’s arm and pulled her away from Theo.

“What, what, what are you doing, Miss Sienna! This is, this is a hospital room!”

“Whoops, is it just a hospital room?”

Sienna moved the spirit that was hovering around her, her own person, and grabbed Theo by the leg of the bed on which he was lying and lifted him up.

Immediately the bed floated into the air.

Everyone widened their eyes at the mysterious power.

In

, Isha raised her voice.

“That, you don’t mean that, Miss Sienna! Put it down, Theo is a patient! You unscrupulous woman!”

“Huh, I know Theo best. Theo wasn’t sick, he was simply exhausted and fell asleep. Then, what is most needed is active nursing care! I am confident that I will be able to take care of you much better than this guild of healers!”

Sienna adjusted the floating bed to my eye level.

Then she looked at Theo with loving eyes.

“Does Theo think so too? …Yes, yes. As expected~ Sienna is so happy to think so~!”

“······Theo didn’t say anything, Miss Sienna.”

“Huh, you don’t know what. Theo and I communicate without words. Then we throw off all the shackles and shackles of this world and set off in search of happiness! Everyone, be happy too!”

Just like that, Sienna was about to leave the hospital room with Theo lying on the bed.

“hahahaha, this is an interesting play. I saw you.”

Taylor entered the hospital room clap clap clap clap.

“”!””

Jang Woo-hee and Lee Silder looked at Taylor in surprise.

Woohee Jang and Silder Lee are sensitive assassins. But I didn’t feel any signs until Taylor came in.

Taylor looked at Sienna and smiled.

“The most important thing for patients is stability first, and stability second. The play ends here.”

Taylor reached out to the floating bed next to Sienna.

Then, the bed gently landed in its original position.

Sienna looked at Taylor with her curious look on her face.

“You know how to do something quite interesting, Mr. Narrow. It’s only for a moment, but I thought I’d make Shish Shuk step back.”

“hahahahaha, the mind of a therapist who cares for the patient is stronger than anything else. Anyway, since we’re going to start treating Theo, everyone except for the guardians, please leave.”

With that said, Taylor dragged a chair in front of Theo and sat down.

······How long has it been?

Sleeping this deep.

It’s been a while since I’ve had a dream.

Since I’m flying in the sky right now, I’m sure it’s a dream.

Wheeying──

The rough wind hits the whole body hard. But it doesn’t hurt

Because of the price of overrun, my body must have been completely broken.

······As expected, the dream came true.

I looked down.

People look like ants.

Countless colorful brick houses and various shops.

Several large and small circular wagons moving on the road.

Even the fountain in the center of the plaza where people gather.

It is a sight of a fairly developed city.

In the meantime, I see a large castle with a familiar exterior.

This is the castle where the immediate descendants of the Balderk family live.

Hmm.

I’m bored, so let’s explore.
