Became a Third-Rate Villain in the Hero Academy

“Yes. Nice to meet you, Travis.”

I accepted Travis’ greeting.

“Haha, how lucky you are. How do you get together like this? Theoeda has Ralph, Noktar, and Aisha!”

Travis looked at his teammates with a gum smile.

On the contrary, Ralph looked at me with a firm expression.

“…we’re really in a bad relationship, Theo.”

“is it.”

···I don’t know.

Did Ralph and I have a bad relationship? No, there is no relationship whatsoever.

Of course, Ralph was my opponent in the previous practical match evaluation, but I haven’t been conscious of Ralph since then.

“Hmm, I know a lot of faces.”

Ddu-duk-duk-ddu-duk–.

Noctar’s thick neck went back and forth from side to side.

Then he looked at Ralph.

“You’re Ralph. I remember.”

“Forget about it. The appearance during the evaluation of the practical competition. Of course, it’s not that I don’t admit defeat at that time, but it’s different now…”

“No, how can I forget? You did your best? No matter how much a warrior, how can you win every time? More importantly, you learn from defeat. The great God of War said, ‘To become a true warrior, admit your past defeats.’ He said it. I was impressed. It was great.”

“············”.

Ralph looked up at Noctar for a moment.

Suddenly, Ralph’s lips twitched.

“Thank you, Noctar. In fact, I was most impressed with your match. I expected it to be absolutely at a disadvantage, but you overturned everyone’s expectations.”

Ralph reached out to Noctar.

“Keukkeuk, you can’t lose to a wizard.”

Noctar trembled his molars as if he was happy, and took Ralph’s hand.

“·················ogue.”

I’m a sympathetic dog.

Travis, who had a gum smile at them, looked at Aisha.

“By the way, doesn’t Aisha say anything? You’re the hero who caught the real culprit in the last magic dungeon incident. It’s a coincidence that we’re on the same team, so please say something.”

“······ah.”

Aisha’s eyes trembled slightly.

Then he quickly glanced at me.

“···Yes. Say something.”

I murmured, looking at Aisha calmly.

“I, I. I’ll do my best! This time, I’m sure I won’t become a burden!”

“Ah~ What is Jim? If it becomes Jim, it would be us. Isn’t it, everyone?”

Travis looked at us with a sly smile.

“That’s right. Aisha is ranked 6th in the overall ranking, but her theoretical score is alone, isn’t she? To be honest, I’m not good at using my hair. Just give me instructions.”

“I agree with you. A true warrior should be able to use his head, but it is wise to follow a proven jigsaw.”

Ralph and Noctar said.

The two got along very well.

Come to think of it, Noctar had previously overestimated Ralph.

Muscle men have something in common, right?

“Uh, uh…”

Aisha looked into my eyes again and continued.

“Hey- come on, I’ll do my best!”

A cry like a crying rabbit frightened by a wolf.

Do you want to advertise somewhere like ‘I’m getting stabbed~ What should I do~ Hue~’?

It’s like I’ve become a bad person for nothing.

Travis and Ralph tilted their heads, then encouraged Aisha.

“Hahaha, Aisha looks very tired today~ It’s worth it. I’ve been surrounded by kids all this time, so I’m excited.

“If it’s Aisha, it’s definitely the style to do it. Believe it, Aisha. Relic exploration and evaluation requires a lot of your strength.”

“Ahh-“

Aisha was unable to speak like a person with a broken head.

“·······Hmmm.”

I guess I have to say something.

It would be difficult for Aisha to be in that state.

I didn’t expect to be on a team with Aisha, so I came up with my own strategy, but if she’s fine, there’s no need to go round and round.

“Aisha.”

“Yes, yes?! Oh, Theo. No, say it.”

“············”.

It’s really bad.

A fox who is terribly conscious of the gaze around him becomes such an idiot.

First of all, I need to turn off Aisha’s tension switch.

“Come closer for a second. I have something to tell you.”

“Uh, uh……….. Yes, yes.”

Eisha’s eyes, which had only been trembling slightly until now, trembled as if an earthquake had occurred.

After answering her, her steps did not stop her from falling.

···Ugh.

I approached Aisha and whispered in her ear.

-Do as before. Don’t be nervous.

“······································································!

Then Aisha looked into my eyes,

“Yes Yes!”

He flicked his little face up and down.

About 10 minutes passed like that.

‘Now it seems the tension has relaxed a bit.’

I watched Aisha talking with the other students.

It doesn’t seem like it’s completely resolved yet, but it will get better with time.

Tension is futile for the warrior ahead of his mission.

It’s better to have quick-tempered guys like Ralph or Esilder who rush to the enemy when they see them.

“Hmm.”

Noctar, who had just been discussing which weapon was better, Ralph, hatchet, or blunt weapon, approached me.

“Theo. What did you say to Aisha earlier?”

“He didn’t say anything. I told him to do as he was told.”

“Ho-oh- that’s right.”

“Why are you asking that?”

“It’s amazing how he relieved tension with just a few words in an instant. It’s an unfamiliar sight.”

Noctar tilted his head.

“That’s right. It’s nothing.”

I nodded my head gently.

“Anyway, I think it’s time to leave now.”

A number of portals—the entrance to the magic dungeon—began to be created near the forest.

After a while, Locke gathered the students again.

Of course, the first position is my team.

Locke looked at my team, to be exact, me.

“Team 1 enter.”

“All right.”

In these portals and dungeons, high-ranking students tend to enter first.

First, Aisha entered the magic dungeon.

They are followed by Ralph, Noctar, me and Travis.

“Whoa.”

Take short deep breaths. This time, by all means, I hope the future hasn’t changed.

let’s go

* * *

“Where is here?”

As soon as they entered the magic dungeon, Travis looked around.

“Last time in ‘Monster Subjugation’, it was a meadow.

“Ummm…. No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t look like the ground. It looks like the basement to me.”

Aisha looked around with her red eyes shining.

Noctar next to me looked down at me.

“Theo, is this underground?”

“okay.”

To be precise, it is an underground dungeon.

‘Fortunately, it’s exactly the same place as the main work.’

When I saw it as a game, it just felt dark and gloomy, but when I actually experienced it, it was a bit hazy.

‘Ah, I have to take the treasure and float.’

My body rejects this place.

The place where our team fell was the underground dungeon, the 4th basement floor—B4—.

The relic search evaluation ends when you go up to the ground holding the marker on the first basement level—B1—.

To recap, the key is to get to B1 well.

Of course, as long as Eisha’s [Sharp Vision] is there, it’s very easy. Her character boasts an overwhelming effect on finding a way.

Of course, the evaluation team also has a guardian in B1 because it is not a hogu, but…

‘Okay, there should be days like this.’

Suck honey like this.

I clenched my fist.

My treasure [Magic Cartridge] is also in B1.

[Magic Cartridge] can only be acquired by entering a special pattern, just like when you obtained [Natural Power] before.

But if you know the pattern, it’s too simple.

Of course, I’m memorizing all the patterns.

So immersed in euphoria, Aisha made a sick sound.

“Ummm…”

“Aisha, what’s wrong?”

“yes. Everyone knows my character, but I can see through all the darkness of this level, right? by the way······.”

“···by the way?”

Travis looked at Aisha with an anxious expression.

Aisha shook her head.

“I can see it…but I can’t see it very well. It seems like there’s something magical in this basement.”

“Ah….. I said I couldn’t see any of them for some reason.”

Travis let out a sigh.

“Then what should I do?”

Ralph swung the blunt weapon in his hand and relaxed himself.

“Honestly, I don’t think there is a proper way right now. The only choice is to either remove the magical device or go through trial and error, even one step at a time.”

Aisha scratched her head.

“It’s going to be a dog game.”

Travis and Ralph sighed.

“·················ogue.”

Eh, how come things don’t come easy?

There is no time.

My goal is to get the [Magic Cartridge] and at the same time get first place in the practical evaluation.

I cast [Disable Magic] on me.

‘After all, there is magic in this space.’

The front is clearly visible.

The rest are all blind.

‘It wasn’t like this in this work.’

Where did the best butterfly effect start?

Of course, my head is unpredictable. If I had that kind of intelligence, I would have gone to slaughter the guy who dropped me into this world earlier.

“Focus on me for a moment.”

All I can do is do my best to overcome this ordeal.
