Became a Third-Rate Villain in the Hero Academy

223 – Aroaro (3)

Crumbling, rattling—

Inside the circulatory carriage to the undergraduate school of the brave.

After giving the artifacts to Alps and Irene, I headed straight to the training ground of the College of Bravery.

I tried to train while I came, but the training ground of the Faculty of Engineering was crowded with many students.

Students from the Faculty of Warriors who want to recruit Aid, students from other faculties who want to support Aid to students from the Faculty of Warriors who want them, etc… There was no separate Dottegi Market.

The types of artifacts given to Alps are Belt, Gambison, and Gaiters.

There are three types in total.

─This, can I dare to accept something like this…?

Those artifacts are hero-level set items called [Renimid’s Mercy].

It’s not a very good item when you look at it individually, but the set effect is activated when you wear at least 3 types of parts.

Set items show their true colors from the moment the set effect occurs.

And the set effect increases the more you wear the parts.

Of course, the set effect is activated even when 3 types are worn, so it has a higher-level effect among hero-level artifacts.

The set effect is to improve mental strength and increase the effectiveness and efficiency of divinity buffs.

Among these, what you need to pay attention to is the effect and efficiency increase of the divine buff.

In other words, the power of the buff increases, but the consumed holy power decreases.

It’s safe to say that no one can use those artifacts more usefully than the Alps.

What we need to pay attention to here is the effect when wearing ‘3 types of parts’.

Even if you wear only 3 types, the effect is excellent, but each time you wear one more type, the effect increases even more.

Among the parts of a set artifact, the most important parts are the main armament and the sub armament.

Unfortunately, the sword and shield—main and secondary weapons—that belong to the set artifacts given to the Alps today are not in the treasure house of the Balderc family. It is enshrined in the armor storage of the [Cult of Light], Which is difficult to access.

There is only one artifact given to Irene.

It’s a wrist guard.

The family of Aslan, the family of Irene, a family of historical knights, has many outstanding main weapon artifacts.

Of course, Irene will bring one from there.

So she gave me a pair of wrist guards to support her longsword, her main weapon.

From noble mtl dot com

The effect of the wrist guard is to increase hand speed and strength, and to function as a barrier.

The barrier function has a limit on the number of uses per day, but it will come in handy when digging into the opponent’s loopholes who saw Irene as a pure swordsman.

‘Okay. It is a good thing for me that children can have a long time to adapt to artifacts.’

Unlike me, who knows most of the thousands of artifacts that exist on the continent and how to use them properly, other characters need time to adapt to the artifacts.

Then, when we go to the northern magic city, each one will do their part.

While I was organizing my thoughts like that, the circulating carriage arrived at the stop at the Faculty of Bravery.

When I think that I will be training soon, I feel like my body is excited in a conditioned reflex.

I know how to use it and how to use it, but I should get used to the [Elemental Sword].

However, eating in the right place is also part of training.

For dinner, I headed straight to the student cafeteria.

* * *

At the same time, in the student council room of the Faculty of Bravery.

“Yum. Just like Claire said… Yum. Really, permission to use artifacts is given to all students… Yum. It fell.”

Saint Isabella said while burying herself in her chair, munching on her sandwich.

Her behavior did not fit the dignity of a saint considered to be more noble than a country’s princess, but it was a familiar sight to Claire, who had been watching her for many years.

“It was good that I went to the church headquarters as soon as I heard it. If I hadn’t followed the words of the general manager, I would have walked in vain.”

Saying that, Claire looked at the large desk in front of Isabella.

On the desk are swords, shields, maces, staffs, bracelets, necklaces, etc…

Various types of artifacts were listed.

These are all artifacts Claire brought from the [Church of Light] Armory.

As a guardian knight of the church, she had access to the armor storage.

Said Isabella, nodding her head.

“Well, the head professor is not one to talk nonsense. Gulp, gulp… Anyway, thanks to Claire, I’m a sophomore and I’m getting to use all my artifacts~ Thanks to you, it’ll be easier for me to stay at the top of the grade.”

Claire smiled lightly as she watched Isabella one-shot the drink from the glass.

“Students cannot bring artifacts until their sophomore year. After a few months, you could still write it, right?”

“Still, I’m glad I can write in advance. Claire knows that, but practice weapons don’t really taste good, do they?”

“That’s right.”

Claire nodded softly.

Strangely enough, the saintess had great talent for sparring.

She started from her childhood and even after entering her academy, she never lost in Dalian. Even without using her divine power.

It was very strange.

The saintess’ physical ability without using divine power is excellent by the standard of an ordinary person, but by the standard of a student of the College of Bravery, it is extremely ordinary.

However, she always won in sparring with bizarre movements that surpassed her physical abilities.

Should I call it a pioneering eye?

The saintess had an excellent ability to respond as if she had predicted her opponent’s movements.

Besides, he has no fear.

She might flinch when she sees her long weapons rushing at her, but she has never blinked her eyes during sparring since her childhood. She looked them all in the eye and avoided them.

The saintess laughed heartily as she saw Claire thinking that way.

Among the artifacts the saintess listed on her desk, she held up a sword and a shield.

“Huh? Aren’t these two [Renimid’s Mercy]? Set Artifact.”

“That’s right, saintess.”

“But why do you say there is only a sword and a shield? I know that the set consists of a total of 5 types of parts. Where are the belt, Gambison, and leggings?”

Isabella’s question was reasonable.

As you can guess from the name, [Renimid’s Mercy] Is a property of the [Cult of Light], Which worships Renimid as its god.

After a moment of silence, Claire opened her mouth.

“…The belt, Gambison, and leggings are said to have been loaned out as ‘organs’ to families active in the church during the religious wars that broke out in the past.”

About 200 years have passed since the religious war broke out.

The words ‘long-term rental’, it is no different from giving.

Isabella tilted her head.

“Where is that family?”

“That’s it…”

Claire didn’t answer right away.

“Where, where, where!”

Isabella hastened her answer.

It was because I was curious about the boring and boring car after a long time.

Immediately reading Claire’s mind, Isabella learned where the family belonged.

“······This is the Balderg family, saintess.”

Claire replied exactly as Isabella read her heart.

“I see.”

Should I call this a coincidence or destiny?

‘If it’s Balderck, that puzzling bastard’s family…’

She was the only one who couldn’t read her mind at all, and Isabella was keeping an eye on Theo.

Today, too, I heard the results of Theo’s investigation from Claire.

The main content was that he had visited his prospective aide in the Faculty of Engineering.

I heard that he played a key role during the armed invasion, that he had a joint interview with Locke, and that he had a war of nerves with Oliver of Ataraxia.

Is it because I kept hearing about the results of the investigation?

My vigilance faded, and my curiosity intensified.

“But 200 years have passed since you rented it, isn’t it too much not to return it? If you give it, you give it. ‘Long-term rental’ is a pun. At that time, the person who made the pact wouldn’t be a person from this world, so you just wiped your mouth in that family.”

“It could be.”

When Claire agreed, Isabella nodded her head.

“Isn’t it? Then, Claire, send an official letter to the Church Headquarters. Right now.”

“What about the content?”

“Ummm, the contents…”

Isabella thought for a moment, then she opened her mouth again.

“Is it alright if we directly retrieve the precious property of the long-forgotten church? When the headquarters sees this content, please explain it and write it in a pleasant way. It’s because the elderly seem to be sensitive to menstruation lately.”

Claire said, frowning.

“······Please be considerate of such vulgar words, saintess. I understand first.”

“Yeah~”

Isabella buried herself in her overstuffed chair.

The corners of her expressionless mouth were raised slightly.

Three days later, Friday at 6pm.

The deadline for the first submission of the Aid application form for first-year students of the Department of War has passed.

You can no longer submit an Aid application.

In other words, before the next submission deadline arrives, you must select an aide from among those who submitted an aide application to you.

“Aww, do a lot. I guess you came most often? Anyway, don’t drop it and carry it carefully, student Theo.”

“Thank you, Instructor.”

Theo came out of the faculty administration office holding a bundle of Aid application forms in front of him.

‘That’s a lot.’

Judging by the thickness of the paper, it seems that at least 100 people applied.

Anyway, let’s take a look.
