Became a Third-Rate Villain in the Hero Academy

202 – Pills (1)

After lowering the altitude, I looked around the castle.

About 10 minutes passed.

I sensed something strange.

I didn’t feel any presence in that big castle.

Then.

“Uh.”

In the backyard of the castle, I saw a hidden-haired boy with a familiar appearance.

It was Theo.

I think it was before she entered the academy that her face looked a bit younger than now.

“·······.”

But Theo’s face and behavior are strange.

His face was full of veins and he was smiling grotesquely.

─hahahaha, hahahaha!

His voice was gloomy, as if it belonged to someone else.

I know that theo is a rice, but if someone who doesn’t know it, I’m tired of peeing a few drops.

─That’s right! If this is it, I can do it now!

Theo shouted in succession.

Who are you talking to? I looked around again, but no one was there.

At that time, I found a strange object rolling around Theo.

······What should I say about that?

It looks like a stone the size of a child’s face, with bloody characters scrawled on the outside. It was a text I had never seen before.

─······Wait for the time to die and watch closely. The wormy bastards who ignored me. I’m going to destroy every single one of them.

Theo uttered lines like a third-class villain, and moved on.

Direction is the back door of Balderk Castle.

Hmm, it seems like Theo’s past, but I can’t quite figure out what it is.

I’ve never seen it in this work either.

For now, it seems that Theo can’t see me, so let’s keep following him—-

······I couldn’t go.

I woke up from a dream.

[Unexpected Quest: Until this Thursday, participate in at least one competition held at the Academy Festival every day and win all of them within 3rd place.]

Reward: 4 shop gold coins

Progress: 4/4

[You have cleared the sudden quest. You have obtained 5 shop gold coins as a reward.]

[Cleared by meeting the maximum conditions for the sudden quest. You have obtained 3 shop gold coins as a reward.]

[Total reward: 8 shop gold coins]

Quest completion window that welcomes me as soon as I open my eyes.

As expected, I worked hard and was good at winning first place in all competitions. It’s the first time I’ve gotten 8 shop gold coins in one quest.

There must be plenty of gold coins in the store- I’ll have to visit the store sooner or later.

······Anyway.

Where am I now and how much time has passed.

My last memory is of turning Irene’s chin around with her elbow. Even if I went beyond my limit, my body immediately stopped working in return for the movement that I had far exceeded.

“·······.”

When you are lying down and trying to understand the current situation by turning your head slightly.

“You woke up.”

I heard Taylor’s voice in my ear.

Immediately identify the current location. The place is inside [The Hilte]’S hospital room.

“How long have I slept, Vice Branch Manager?”

“Let’s see. It’s 7:20 am right now… I guess it’s been about 12 hours.”

Hmm? Did you wake up much earlier than expected? Your voice comes out normally.

Move your fingers and toes around while lying down.

‘···················································································································ASEase

It hurts. But it does move.

······[Overrun] Was used, but was this cheap?

In this work, the condition for opening [Overrun] Is to keep moving while maintaining a state in which the fatigue of the body has reached its maximum.

When the fatigue of the body reaches its limit, all stats drop significantly, and if the fatigue is exhausted, you can no longer act.

In other words, an ability that will never be unlocked unless you aim for [Overrun] In this work. I got it by accident.

‘The effect is beyond expectations, but the cost is too great.’

[Overlord] Is a concept that uses the strength of one’s own body.

In addition to [Overrun], It is a concept that uses the power of one’s own body in the future.

Maybe that’s why, if I use it in this work, that Neike will be ill for 3 days.

······Anyway, the fact that I, a weak person, woke up after 12 hours is something I did.

It is [Overrun] That I wrote after preparing to lie down for at least a week.

I slowly lifted my upper body and looked at Taylor.

“I know my physical condition to some extent, deputy branch manager. I still have muscle pain all over my body, but I can’t wake up after only 12 hours. What did you do to me?”

“I woke up just fine. Miss Irene woke up about 30 minutes ago. Anyway, I wrote that to Theo.”

Taylor pointed to the table next to the bunk. There were about 10 empty pill bottles on top of it.

●Special Fatigue Relief [Rating: Rare]

: When taken, quickly recovers body fatigue.

Depending on the condition, there is a difference in the recovery time and amount.

After taking it, there is a cooldown period depending on the individual.

Taylor continued.

“Theo-kun, in a vulgar way, seems to be prone to drug addiction. That’s great too. On average, it takes about 12 hours to fully absorb the medicinal effect, but Theo-kun absorbed it in just one hour. So, I took the dose every hour.”

Taylor shrugged his shoulders.

···Because it is a constitution that accepts medicine well. Well, the reason is not obvious.

I looked down at Fist, who was sleeping in my arms, and stroked his head.

Anyway, it’s a fatigue recovery drug that has such a significant effect…

I am very greedy. There will be no one who cares about physical fatigue as much as I do.

I pointed my finger at the empty bottle of anti-fatigue on the table and said.

“Chief Vice President, could I possibly get more of that item?”

“I was going to prescribe more even if I didn’t, but I used up all the remaining supplies at the branch while treating Theo. I requested additional supplies from the head office a little while ago, so they will arrive in about three days.”

“Thank you.”

I bowed my head in silence.

Taylor smiled and waved her hand.

“Well, that’s what a therapist should do—”

Taylor stopped talking.

Then he opened his eyes slightly and looked at me gently.

“It seems to be a technique that pushes the body to the limit much more than the previous one…But don’t use it often.”

“·······.”

I said nothing, just looked at Taylor.

There was something creepy in his eyes.

Taylor continued.

“Perfect for an early death.”

“I will refer to it.”

I nodded.

His words were also correct. Another cost of [Overrun] Is reduced life span.

Then, a knocking sound came from outside the door.

Said Taylor, who narrowed her eyes again.

“Looks like the guardian came. Then I’ll be on my way, Mr. Theo. Avoid strenuous exercise until the soreness subsides. If additional quantities of the special fatigue reliever come in, we will contact you separately.”

“Thank you, Vice Branch Manager.”

“Ha ha ha, no. Next time you have time, come over even if you are not sick.”

Saying that, Taylor left the room.

Following this, Amy and Irene entered the room.

* * *

Same time.

Inside the [Pod Company] Located in the northern magic city, the owner’s office.

Maitri was the only person in the spacious room.

He was reading a document, sitting in a large chair with his legs crossed.

It was an ‘additional copy’ of the interim investigation report on key figures in Ellinia Academy, which his subordinate Roy urgently submitted an hour ago.

“Hmm. Things are going more interesting than I thought.”

I read the interim investigation report Roy submitted yesterday. It contained quite a bit of useful information.

Among the crabs, the most unexpected person was ‘Theo Lin Balderk’. It also occupied an overwhelming majority of the report space.

The same was true of the ‘additional edition’ that I am reading now.

“······ The First Saint appeared at the [Martial Arts Tournament] With the Guardian Knight, and it is speculated that she showed interest in Theorin Balderk, la-“

It was the part that caught his attention in particular.

Isabella, the first saint of the Renimid Church, is a special person of interest. She cared about him too and tried to pursue her whereabouts, but she failed every time.

He continued reading the report.

“The first saint left early, but then the guardian knight, Claire, watched the final match between Theo and Irene…. . .”

Below the text of the report, pictures of the First Saints, Claire, and Theo were attached.

All three have expressionless faces, as if they have no emotion.

After reading the report to the end, My Tree was lost in her thoughts for a moment.

“Certainly, from the time I saw him before, he wasn’t an ordinary guy.”

My Tree reminded me of the time when she had gone straight to the Knights Faculty Ei vs. Ei Tournament before.

In his view, Theo was the true hero of the tournament. It started with Theo and ended with Theo. He is also talented, but he was a mysterious guy who kept catching attention.

Moreover, seeing that it is the most important thing in Roy’s investigation report–

“──My senses are still good.”

My Tree smiled with only one corner of her mouth raised.

···Yes, I have decided. A person like this should give you a serious welcome-

My Tree opened her desk drawer as she finished her thoughts there.

Inside it was full of contact crystal balls.

“It is me.”

He took out one of them and contacted him somewhere.
