Became a Third-Rate Villain in the Hero Academy chapter 113

“Yes?”

Seria bent over and picked up a small object that landed right in front of her.

it was a note

Seria opened the note.

[Requires mana recharge.]

The contents of the note were written in a familiar, crooked handwriting.

She’s seen it dozens or hundreds of times.

‘It must have been written with an arm that is not usually used.’

It means that he won’t give even the smallest clue to guess his identity.

How thorough are you?

If it was the culprit, it would be sad, but Seria was not at all sad.

I was thankful that my relationship with that man had not been cut off again.

Rather, it aroused more interest.

Seria looked at the direction the note had flown in, and muttered a low voice.

“Is there a…?”

With those words, slurp.

A man wearing a black jersey that was clinging to his body appeared.

He’s not very muscular, but he’s well-trained.

It was the man I had seen a week ago, wearing a mask that completely covered his small face.

Tock, tock.

The man approached and handed Seria another note.

The contents of the note were simple.

[Is it possible now?]

Of course it is possible. Even if there was a prior contract, I will ignore it.

How long have you been looking forward to the moment we meet again?

Seria responded quickly.

“Yes. You may have an eye, and you seem to be busy. Shall we go right in?”

Seria pointed to the lab door with her long, white finger.

As the black man nodded, Seria opened the lab door with a light smile.

* * *

The mana charge ended quickly.

Well, it’s not difficult and it doesn’t take long.

Just put your hand on the [Magic Cartridge] token and inject mana.

I felt the [Magic Cartridge] full of mana, and put my half-naked top back on.

Then, he handed Seria a note written in advance that said [Thank you.]

Seria, who checked the note, said with a light smile.

“Are you really thankful?”

Instead of opening my mouth, I nodded my head to express my gratitude.

“It seems like you gave me a reward before, but what’s wrong with you today?”

With that said, I pulled out another note from my pocket.

[There is nothing specially prepared today. But you can’t give the same thing as before to the level of mana charge. However, if you periodically recharge your mana, I will prepare a reward.]

Seria checked the note.

“·······periodic. Ah, that’s right.”

Saying that, Seria continued, with a fishy smile on her lips.

“You mean you’ll come to me next time, the next time too?”

I nodded my head softly.

I still need Seria.

After the Academy Festival, the first-year students of the Brave School also have to search for Aid in earnest. In addition, from the end of the first year, grades are assigned by team evaluation.

Seria’s talent is comparable to that of the genius wizard Andrew. No, at this point, he could actually outperform Andrew.

Unlike Andrew, a commoner, she was naturally exposed to magic from the moment she was born.

Seria came to the School of Magic purely because of her disposition & personality and her father’s request to go to the School of Magic.

Anyway, Aid as a member of the Hero Team is really important. No matter how important it is, it cannot be emphasized enough.

Should the hero be the squad leader and Aid the squad member?

It is difficult to perform a mission alone, even with Nike and PI.

Aid’s strength is not only important, but overall ability is important.

There are many factors to look at, such as information gathering ability and chemistry with the team.

Of course, I am weak in force, so it is better to find an Aid with the strongest possible force.

Unless otherwise noted, the number of Aids in the academy is limited to 4 per hero.

One in four must be filled with Seria.

While I was thinking about it, Seria said.

“Still, I want to be rewarded right now.”

“············”.

“You know? You know a lot about me, but I don’t even know who you are. Not only your age, but whether you are a student or a staff member. Who the hell are you?”

“············”.

can’t answer

Now is not the time to reveal my identity to her. So I didn’t give any clues to guess who I was.

To be more specific, I can’t reveal my identity to her ‘yet’.

There may be other variables.

She likes secret and dangerous beings. Maybe that’s how I feel to her now.

At least a couple more mana charges in the future and revealing seems appropriate.

By the way, I don’t have any compensation that I can give right now.

Things that can be bought with money can also be bought with Seria. She is the daughter of a black mage master. If it’s money, it rots.

A reward is a reward if it feels special to that person.

With that in mind, I stared at her quietly—

“…I don’t really want much. That’s what you can give me right now.”

As if reading my mind, Seria said.

As I was still staring at her, she continued.

“I’m not going to see your face. Just let me hear your voice once.”

Seria had a slightly sad face.

‘It’s a voice…’

Yeah, the voice isn’t bad.

It will be difficult to find me with just my voice.

I nodded and tried to open my mouth.

Then Seria said.

“Can’t you take off the mask a little bit? I want to hear a clear voice.”

“······Can not be done.”

I shook my head and said.

By raising her voice, I responded to her request. You don’t even need to take your mask off.

Here, if she moves according to her request, there is a high possibility that she will think, ‘Oh, he’s okay with this!’

In a way, the realization I got thanks to Siena.

You need to build a good relationship in the first place. The more you go, the harder it is to change.

I looked at Seria with her eyes wide open and continued speaking.

“It’s all right, Seria Rune Hestia.”

“············”.

Seria was speechless.

As if in a rigid state, he just stood still.

Well, this would be enough.

“Then let’s go. Thank you for today. See you next time.”

Saying that, I got out of Seria’s lab, who was staring blankly at me.

* * *

I quickly returned to the dormitory.

[Magic Cartridge]’s mana must be filled by Seria, and because of her inclination, she will never leave the academy…

‘Fufu, look forward to it.’

It gives me a spring of concentration that I’ve never felt anywhere else in the world.

I will make you a true elite orc.

With that in mind, as I was about to enter my room, I felt something empty.

······ There is no Amy who is always with me.

‘What’s going on?’

I entrusted you with the upbringing of your fists, where did they go?

The divine beast and the master can know the approximate location of each other wherever they are.

Now the fist is around here.

There’s no reason for Amy to go diving all of a sudden.

I glanced at Amy’s door.

The door was slightly open.

I prick my ears to hear Amy’s voice.

“Woo-Ju-Ju~ Our fists are so cute because they resemble someone~?”

I doubted my ears.

It was definitely Amy’s voice.

An exhilarating, high-tone voice that I can’t even imagine that she, who usually had dead eyes, spit it out.

“Do you resemble your mother?”

─Beep, beep, beep!

There is also a sound like a dolphin in the fist. This kid looks so excited too.

Unable to contain my curiosity, I quietly walked over to the crevice of the open door, silencing the sound of footsteps.

“Kyaan~ Don’t do that, fist~”

The sight that unfolded through the gap in the door made both eyes suspicious.

Amy, who looked like a 17-year-old girl she had never seen before, was stroking her fists that rushed to her chest.

‘······· Did not even notice that I came.’

Are you so obsessed with it?

By the way, look at that horned bastard.

Every time Amy pats her, she pokes deeper into her chest.

I stood still for a while and watched the scene.

Amy looked really happy. I’ve never seen a face like that before.

You seem to like dogs.

Amy didn’t even know I was watching, so she smiled brightly.

“Hehehe, fist. Are you going to continue living with me from now on?”

—King, king, king!

“············”.

Hmm, shall I go back to my room like this?

I don’t need any fatigue recovery effect today.

Even that bastard with a fist is having fun, so I’ll just go with it.

I’m thinking about going back to my room.

“young master?”

Amy’s voice comes through the crack in the door.

Why don’t you answer

“Yeah. Back, Amy.”

profit-

Amy opened the door with her fists in her arms and looked at me.

“Uh, when did you come?”

Her pupils were trembling, shaking like an earthquake had occurred.
