Became a Third-Rate Villain in the Hero Academy

Neike’s eyes widened when they arrived at the Underground Interrogation Room of the Hero Department.

Theo and Locke were standing in front of them.

In the interrogation room beyond the window, the familiar instructor, Francis, was sitting broken.

Francis’ appearance was normal on the outside, but Neike wasn’t so squishy enough that they thought it was normal.

‘·······The harpoon has come out at all.’

Everyone was speechless.

But none of the people gathered here did not know that Theo had captured Francis as a suspect.

Surprised, Esilder blinked.

“Hey, what is this—”

“Professor James.”

Theo cut Esilder’s horse, and shot the professor who brought you Neike.

“It was Jang Woo-hee who asked to bring me. It must have been one person.”

“Uh, uh, uh…”

Professor James, surprised by Theo’s momentum, paused and continued.

“The suspects were also arrested, so it looks like it would be good to bring all the members of the first-year investigation team together……”

“Please let everyone out except for Jang Woo-hee.”

Instead of looking at James, Theo looked at the general manager, Locke.

Except for Jang Woo-hee, the Neike four had a cool spine.

“…Okay. Except for Jang Woo-hee, all other students should leave the interrogation room.”

“That, but…”

Aisha looked at Theo and Locke.

Theo didn’t even look at him.

If I looked at you with contemptuous eyes, I’d rather be lucky.

But he is looking through the window with his arms crossed. The members who doubted him didn’t even seem interested.

Locke narrowed his eyes.

“Don’t make me say it twice.”

“···All right.”

Before long, except for Jang Woo-hee, five people—Nike, Philip, Eisha, Andrew, and Esilder— walked towards the door of the interrogation room.

Before leaving, Aisha glanced at Theo with her trembling eyes.

He still had his arms crossed. It means that you do not want to mix any words with those who doubted you.

“·················ogue.”

That cool attitude made me shut my mouth.

After the 5 people left the interrogation room, Theo looked at Jang Woo-hee.

“Jang Woo-hee. May I ask you to decipher these letters?”

“Okay.”

His momentum is still cool, but he speaks politely.

Jang Woo-hee felt a little skeptical about the unbalance.

But there’s nothing you can’t do.

Rather, he is making a debt to that mysterious man who has the same characteristics as him.

Anyway, Jang Woo-hee has no sense of belonging to the first-year investigative team.

She immediately grabbed a letter and began to decipher it.

“············”.

Only the three paragraphs above were quickly scanned. Because there was no need to see any more.

In the interrogation room over there, the culprit is the instructor, who has passed out and is tied up.

‘But how did you know that I could crack this cipher text?’

The professor who had come to her said that Theo had grabbed her and asked her to call her.

‘I can’t get caught.’

Jang Woo-hee completely hid her identity.

The fact that he is a member of Equilibrium, an assassination group that is mostly involved in big events on the continent.

The fact that he is the child of the group leader.

hid it all Didn’t even make tea.

After she was ordered to graduate with excellent grades from the Elinia Academy Braves Department, she never had any contact with Dan.

Jang Woo-hee glanced at Theo briefly and looked away.

‘It’s strange.’

There are very few people in Dan who know her true identity.

Naturally, the academy only believes in the disguised identity of being from the Eastern Empire.

Thinking like that, Woohee Jang opened her mouth.

“I can’t see any more. The person holding this letter is the culprit.”

Doubts arose, but they did not come out of their mouths.

There are many ears to hear here.

There are orcs, there are elves moaning while cutting the thighs of a black-haired woman in the corner, and there are professors.

“·················ogue.”

Jang Woo-hee looked at Theo with a smile.

Are you pretending you don’t know your heart or you really don’t?

I couldn’t read the emotion on his face.

“Okay. But it’s better to be thorough. May I ask you to decipher the other letters as well?”

Theo nodded.

“okay.”

Jang Woo-hee quickly deciphered other letters as well.

Nothing has changed.

Again, the instructor tied up in the interrogation room is the culprit.

When I read one page, it was 99%, and after reading it, it was 99.9%.

‘I’ll have to talk to him. How far do you know?’

If it’s dangerous, you can kill it.

Despite her young age of 14, it’s easy for her, who already has the skills of a decent executive in Dan.

“There is nothing special. The person who exchanged this letter is the culprit.”

Saying that, Jang Woo-hee looked at Theo and Locke.

“Professor Locke, give me instructions.”

Theo looked at Locke.

Theo’s eyes seemed to be smiling somewhere.

‘Hey, look at this guy.’

A twisted smile appeared on Locke’s lips.

From the identification of the suspect to the arrest. He said he did it all by himself, leaving the cleaning up to himself.

“Student Woohee Jang. I’m not going to ask if any of the students know any ciphers that even the professors don’t know. The person who sent the letter is the culprit. Can you take responsibility?”

“yes.”

“i get it.”

Locke nodded slowly.

Whatever the case, the magic dungeon situation must be ended as soon as possible.

If we wait more time, it is obvious that the image of the Faculty of Heroes will be severely damaged.

“Then may I ask you to write a decrypted version of this letter right now, student Woohee Jang.”

“Okay. I’ll do it right here, right now. A pen and paper, please.”

Locke glanced at James.

James brought a pen and paper to Woohee Jang.

square, square, square.

Jang Woo-hee immediately started writing the decrypted version.

“How long will it take to complete it?”

“It might take an hour or two.”

“Okay, give me some trouble. I’ll make sure to reward you.”

“not really.”

Jang Woo-hee, who answered insignificantly, continued to write the decrypted version.

─Uh, uhhhhhhhhh…

A groan is heard through the window.

Francis woke up.

Except for Siena, who was lying sick, everyone’s eyes turned to him.

You can’t see the outside from inside the interrogation room.

Francis looked around and let out a heavy sigh, as if frustrated.

There was no energy in his eyes.

“Let’s start the interrogation right away. Get ready, professors. And Student Theo.”

“Yes.”

“You, too, go into the interrogation room.”

“All right.”

So Locke and the other professors, Theo, entered the interrogation room.

Francis’ interrogation ended sooner than expected.

Locke was a pro.

With the purpose of [make my mouth admit the crime], I made Frances, who had been caught at first, confess to me soon after. Even without using any physical means.

Locke hands an interpretation of the cipher letter to Francis, briefly mentioning his girlfriend in the imperial capital. Just to not cross the line.

Then Francis lowered his head and admitted the charges.

‘After all, the head professor of the Department of Bravery is not for everyone.’

It took less than 10 minutes to confess.

I had nothing to do.

In the meantime, I was just fiddling with the higher level magic artifact [Amplification Sphere] with my hands in my pockets.

First of all, clear one mission with this.

Locke is strict, but he is not a great person to intercept someone else’s ball.

With a very high probability, my team has arrested the culprit of the magical dungeon event – I’ll announce it.

‘But if my team was rumored to be successful, it would attract a lot of attention.’

In the future, such incidents and accidents will occur periodically.

It is a fool’s errand to already attract the attention of ‘Turning White’, the main black screen of this work.

Their threat is too heavy for me right now.

‘Nike also gets the attention of Turning White after this incident.’

The best thing to do is to let them know that the first-year investigative team, except for me, has caught the culprit.

They’ll be fine – they’ll accept it.

However, you need to look at the income statement.

They almost caught a living person, so they must feel sorry for me. Andrew, who was corrupted in this work, is also good by nature.

No matter how much the future changed, even his nature would not have changed.

············· I told him to call only Woohee Jang, but they came rushing in and looked at me with anxious eyes.

What they want most is to keep my mouth shut.

Because not only abilities are important to a warrior, but reputation is also important. As a student, the label of suspecting innocent people will haunt them for the rest of their lives.

‘It is doubtful. All of a sudden, people have completely changed.’

But your understanding is misunderstood.

Even little kids in their mid-teens, even without malice, should be punished if they commit a crime.

Of course, I have no intention of punishing them directly.

At the time, I was quite upset, but now I am completely rational.

‘Well, I’m not the only one left behind in the dungeon to run away from the back of the head.’

Punishing them will only make you feel better for a while, but it won’t do you any good in the long run.

Although the probability is extremely low… it is possible to plan an annihilation of murder as a group.

‘Hmm, how do you do it?’

I did not say a word to the faculty and staff investigation team and my team that Neike you pointed out me as a suspect.

I told the staff investigation team and my team not to tell anyone that we caught the culprit.

There was no objection whatsoever.

Instead, he just looks at me with subtle eyes.

‘Let’s take a break and think about what kind of price we’ll get…’

With that in mind, I led the team out of the interrogation room.
