Became a Third-Rate Villain in the Hero Academy

“Hmm. What’s going on, Neike?”

I glanced at Siena, still hanging from her right arm, and said.

Whether the students around him saw it or not, Siena showed no sign of falling.

By the way, I think it was the first time Neike spoke to me first.

It’s clear that he didn’t come here to joke around.

I quickly roll my head,

‘It must be related to the investigation of the magic dungeon situation.’

I figured out the reason.

In this work, Neike is asked by the head professor Locke to investigate the first-year students.

‘At this point, you must have already received a request.’

An investigation team would have already been formed.

.

Nike’s investigative team will covertly scour the first-year students, but they won’t find anything.

Because the culprit is an instructor, not a student.

He then subdues them only after the perpetrator has drawn most of his gang into the academy.

I was really frustrated when I played that episode.

I would never have done that.

‘by the way······.’

Are you going to put it on the research bench?

I hate to deliberately intervene in the story, but there is no reason not to.

Anyway, other members of the investigation team will take care of it.

I just need to get on the bus.

‘Participating in the survey team will not only increase your reputation score, but you will also receive significant additional points for practical evaluation.’

While thinking about various things and turning the happy circuit around, Nike put on a troubled expression.

“Ummm…because it’s a story that has to be told by the two of us.”

Having said that, Nike looked at Sienna, still clinging to my right arm.

It’s obviously meant to turn itself off.

‘But you hogu bastard, no, it’s Neike. He listens anyway.’

Although it is still at a point where we do not know the details of Siena’s spirits.

······There is a high probability that you will not know even later.

Nike is good in most areas, but she doesn’t seem to have an affinity for spirits.

There’s no need to tell Siena’s abilities at all.

I looked at Siena tiredly.

“Fufu, I understand. Friendship is also important. But… can’t it be too long?”

Sienna quietly walked out of the classroom.

Although there is a high probability that it will send an eavesdropping spirit.

Anyway, Sienna must have disappeared too.

I told Nike.

“What are you two talking about?”

“It’s annoying, but how about moving?”

Nike looked around.

Some students still remain in the classroom.

“i get it.”

* * *

I followed Neike to the dormitory dedicated to the Faculty of Heroes.

It is a space that clearly shows the meritocracy of the Faculty of Heroes, where only the top-ranked students from the 1st to 10th grades are allowed to enter, regardless of age, status, or race.

“Let’s go in.”

profit-

Nike opens the door of a room and enters.

I followed along too.

*

Inside the room were students I knew well.

PL, Woohee Jang, Aisha, Andrew, Esilder.

Including Nike and I, there are 7 people in total.

‘There was no Andrew in this work.’

Perhaps the future has changed.

rather good

Andrew, the best sorcerer in the Academy’s freshman year, is quite a brainer.

I hope it helps with the investigation, it won’t be a nuisance.

‘I should see good and eat rice cakes.’

By the way, Andrew, you poor bastard.

They appear wherever Aisha is.

It is a heartbreaking unrequited love that will never come true during adolescence.

“nice to meet.”

“······okay.”

Phil sighed and accepted my greeting.

The eyes of other members are focused on me.

But it’s all subtle eyes.

‘Have you noticed that you’re trying to freeride already?’

I understand.

The best resources in the top 10 out of 200 people should share their achievements with the 181st Dali like me.

“Theo, you can sit here.”

Nike put a chair in front of me.

It is a luxury item that does not fit into a chair in my room.

There’s no way Neike would have bought such a luxury item with her own money.

Also, the dormitories for the top-ranked students are different from the furniture.

“They said it was just the two of us, but there were other people.”

I sat elegantly in the chair.

Nike said, “Hmm.” He loosened his neck and opened his mouth.

“I’m really sorry about that, Theo. It’s an urgent situation. You’re probably noticing it, but the culprit of the magic dungeon incident hasn’t been caught yet.”

“It seemed so.”

I readily answered.

No matter how free you are, there is no reason to look stupid.

“After the incident, some professors formed an investigation team and moved under the water. There was no sign of outside intervention, so all faculty and staff were thoroughly investigated.

Nike had a pale face.

Of course, it’s normal to not even get a clue.

The criminal must have manipulated circumstantial evidence with a higher level magic artifact.

It is a force that is difficult to stop even if you are prepared in advance.

“·················ogue.”

I glanced at him.

Whether or not she knew my heart, Nike continued.

“That’s why the culprit is among the students. This is my conclusion.”

“It could be.”

I nodded my head softly.

In this work, the criminal is caught this Friday.

Even if I don’t have to expose the culprit, I’ll be caught then.

There were no fatalities in this situation, so even if you keep your mouth shut, your conscience is less pricked.

I paid attention to the members.

“So why did you call me here?”

He’s asking you to join the investigation team, but he doesn’t have to say it first.

You have to make a preemptive poem because you are anxious from the other side so that the painting is beautiful.

However, the eyes of the members looking at me are unusual.

‘Why are you there?’

Can’t I eat some raw?

You can give that much consideration to someone who is possessed by a third-class extra.

“···hey.”

Phil called me with a stiff face.

“why.”

“.. Whew.”

Phil took a deep breath and continued.

“There is no evidence or anything, but I will tell you plainly.”

“try.”

Phil bit his lip.

“···you. Isn’t it?”

Well? What kind of dog grass is that?

I shot Phil.

“I don’t quite understand. Say it again.”

“You are the culprit who caused the magic dungeon incident. Isn’t it?”

Phil didn’t avert my eyes.

It means sincerity.

“under.”

···Freeriding is crazy.

Where did you get twisted?

Whoo…

I took a deep breath.

“Why do you think so?”

“…because it has changed so much in such a short time. Time seems to pass differently only by you. Did you make a contract with the Great Evil? Being able to do something like this-”

“It just acquired a new character.”

What is the Great Evil?

The eyes of the Great Evil are especially strict.

If you can make a contract, there are geniuses who can sell even souls all over the continent.

* * *

“…that alone cannot explain it.”

Phil looked at Theo.

His eyes were burning red with anger.

“No other trait can change your personality so quickly. The excellent command and composure in extreme situations that you showed in the magic dungeon. It’s so heterogeneous.”

Philip has seen countless active-duty warriors. I even saw several top-ranked warriors in the top 10.

But he couldn’t compare himself to Theo.

He lacks only a little bit of force, but he was nothing more than a superman out of a fairy tale.

To that extent, the changes he showed were heterogeneous.

However, if Theo made a pact with the Great Evil, everything would be right.

Phil knows how the person who makes a contract with the Great Devil changes.

Just thinking about the horrors of that time seemed to go out of her mind.

“… now you can go back. Tell the truth.”

Phil bit his lip.

It’s something she’s never done before in front of other people, who is always confident and has a just competitive spirit.

But Theo just looks at Phil with empty eyes.

Nothing was said.

Those sad eyes let go of reason.

“Tell me!”

* * *

A cry close to Phil’s scream.

The other members are also looking at me with anxious eyes.

My head, which had been boiling, quickly cooled.

. . . Rather, they asked in front of me instead of trying to make a fuss, and since they said the same thing, I can get it back now, so they must have been considerate of others.

‘Even though they are preliminary superhumans… they are still in their mid-teens, young children. Emotional and too inexperienced. Of course, I don’t even know how crazy high-level magic artifacts can cause.’

There is no sign of outside intervention.

Even after robbing the faculty and staff, even the smallest clues did not come out, so there must be a culprit among the students.

It is a simple, but rational thought.

I’m angry, but it’s understandable to be suspicious of me to some extent.

Because there is no other person more alien than me in the current academy.

Because there are often cases where criminals act out of place to avoid suspicion.

I am the possessor who knows all the truth, but they are not.

“I am not a criminal. I didn’t make a contract with the Great Evil.”

However, he will pay the price for blindly suspicious of people.

It’s too much of a problem to just skip it just because you’re young.

“You still-”

“Give me two days and I will catch the criminal.”

“What?”

Phil’s exasperated voice resounds.

“Your mouth is open, but your ears are covered? It means that if you give me two days, I will catch the real culprit of the magic dungeon incident.”

“What is that—”

“Instead, be mindful. The price for today’s disgrace will surely be paid.”

I jumped up and got out of the room.
