Became a Third-Rate Villain in the Hero Academy chapter 117

At that voice, I looked at Julia, who was proud of her presence in front of the entrance to the training ground.

Julia Metz.

As of now, he is the only first-year student in the Faculty of Knights to possess master-level traits.

If you look at the force alone, he is a strong person who can be ranked in the top 30 in the Department of Bravery.

I’ve won once before, but it was a fluke.

At that time, Julia had been vigilant and used a three sword instead of her main weapon, a spear.

As you already know, he’s on the same team as Aisha.

When we meet, it seems like it will be quite a struggle. Next to the Nike team, the next winning contender.

I nodded to Julia.

“nice to meet.”

“I didn’t expect to see you here, Theo. . . . . . . No, you should always be at the training ground.”

Julia came over to me and Aisha.

Julia said to Aisha.

“Anyway, thank you for choosing me, Aisha. It’s hard for me to use my hair. How happy I was when you came to me late on a Sunday night, who has a reputation for being smart—”

“Well, that’s it! Anyway, nice to meet you, Miss Julia.”

Aisha hurriedly cut off Julia’s words and held out her hand.

“Well, I was just saying thank you. Nice to meet you anyway, Aisha.”

Julia took Aisha’s hand.

Aisha looked at me and said.

“Anyway, we’ll see you there! No matter how much you are the next head of the Walderk family and you are a direct line, you’re a competitor now!”

Aisha’s words seem urgent.

Is it urgent to see you?

“i get it.”

Anyway, there are some competitors right now, and Irene is coming soon.

Time is running out, so let’s practice.

After Aisha and Julia left, I held the long sword in my hand with my eyes closed.

[Observer’s Eye] Recalls her movements in her eyes.

That gesture is now deeply engraved in my mind.

Recalling Phil’s sword dance, I danced.

Phil’s weapon is a three sword. My weapon is a long sword.

But the same sword is the same.

Take what you want to take, and throw away what you want to throw away.

Rain reproduces the swordsmanship that he had been practicing in his spare time and imagining in his head, not with Phil’s body, but with mine.

The source of imagination is the swordsmanship of Neike seen in this work, the movement of the sword demon of the Great Forest, etc. All kinds of ‘swordsmanship’ I’ve ever seen.

Under the influence of [Twisted Nobility’s Dignity], the ugly and obscene appearance is swept away.

Because of that, my current movement was very different from the sword dance of the original Piel.

How focused were you?

“Oh, Theo. What’s that movement? It’s very different.”

Suddenly, Irene was standing next to me.

“I was trying to reproduce the swordsmanship that I was impressed with.”

“It’s a swordsmanship I’ve never seen before… Is it a swordsmanship that I made by myself?”

“Yes.”

I got the motif, but I recreated it to suit me.

Maybe you made it yourself.

“I think it is still unfinished… If it is completed, it will be more beautiful and practical than any swordsmanship I’ve seen so far. It’s still in the making stage, isn’t it?”

Unlike her usual simple expression, Irene had an infinitely serious expression.

. . . is the correct answer.

Swordsmanship is not something that can be created in a matter of days.

The swordsmanship that I had demonstrated a while ago was my interpretation of what I saw in this work and what I saw and learned after falling into this world.

Master-level characteristics such as Sword Master and Weapon Master greatly increase the fundamental understanding of weapons.

Perhaps, if I get master-level characteristics, I can complete it.

“Yeah, it’s still unfinished. It’s just an expression of my shallow realization.”

“Still, I think it’s really great that you’ve made it this far. Theo, you were honestly at a miserable level before entering the academy.”

Irene looked up at me.

You seem to want my answer.

What is a reasonable excuse in this case?

“Because I don’t want to be a shameful person.”

“······yes?”

Irene’s eyes widened.

I looked into her eyes calmly.

“Anyway, we don’t have time to talk like this, so let’s try to put the sum together. Let’s go, Irene.”

“······I know.”

Me and Irene moved to the simulation training ground.

No one else, just the two of us.

There, Irene and I had a match after a long time.

It’s been a while since they met each other like that.

‘It’s also Irene.’

Her skills were even more advanced.

My skills improved, but without the help of [Overlord] or [Magic Cartridge], I could only get her sword strike.

Of course, this is a huge improvement.

One of the many nicknames that users of this work call Irene is ‘the strongest in the human world’.

Awakened Nike, Philip, the leader of ‘Equilibrium’, the leader of ‘Turning White’, and the sword demon of Daesurim are not the strongest in the world, but they are nicknames given to chewing gum.

Of course, it was quite a while after graduating from the academy.

If Irene grows with this momentum, she will also acquire the [Sword Master] trait within half a year.

“You’ve improved even more, Irene. You didn’t neglect your training as well.”

“Hey, that’s what I’m talking about. Theo, you really are a completely different person.”

Irene smiled shyly, wiping the sweat that ran down her straight collarbone.

. . . seems to have become a different person.

Compared to the original Theo, it is true that such a metaphor is not a lie, and has grown rapidly.

However, with this ability, it is difficult to win this tournament in the Knights Faculty.

To be honest, the Aisha & Julia team has a slight chance of winning if they devise a custom strategy and hit the loopholes, but they don’t seem likely to beat Nike’s team.

Because I’m the only one who knows Neike’s exact skills at the moment.

He’s hiding this skill. After entering the academy, he never showed his true abilities.

Even so, he has always maintained the 1st place in the Department of Bravery.

He really is a monster.

‘Nike is a mountain that cannot be crossed.’

Even if I mobilize all the mana of [Magic Cartridge], use the dagger throwing technique, and the enhanced [Overlord] until the time limit, I don’t know if I’ll be able to get a single hit.

Winning a head-on confrontation is impossible no matter what you do.

But as much as I know Nike’s skills, I know his tendencies as well.

‘I can’t help it. There is only one way to win…’

The body possessed is Theo, but before I possessed it, I was Nike when I was a user of this work “Kairengena Chronicles”.

I’ve been playing this game from his point of view for over 20,000 hours.

After organizing my thoughts, I said.

“I think sharing the sword with each other is enough. Now let’s plan a strategy, Irene.”

“What kind of strategy? I don’t know who might be the opponent… but the draw will be out on the same day on Thursday.”

“I think we can go up to the round of 16. But the problem is from the round of 16, where only really strong teams remain. Based on the information you gave us, we analyzed which team will come up.”

“Already? Wasn’t it today’s exam?”

Irene widened her eyes and looked at me.

I answered casually.

“I studied for the exam, so there was no problem. First of all, there is something you should know, Irene.”

With that said, I cast [Paralysis] magic on Irene.

Irene stopped with her eyes wide open.

I canceled her [Paralysis] magic with [Magic Nullify].

Irene said in a bewildered voice.

“Bah, what just happened…? I couldn’t move my body… Is it magic? Theo, you’re not able to use magic, right?”

“You can’t use strong magic, but you can use magic over this condition. Of course, no one knows except you.”

I said quietly.

Aisha had been living together for a few days, so she would have noticed that I could use [Concentration] magic, but she wouldn’t have thought that I could even use magic for abnormal conditions.

Of course, the other students didn’t even know I could use magic.

Because of that, the magic of abnormal status will be a trump card.

The moment you treat our team in the frame of two swordsmen, you will be able to feed them in one big shot.

During tournaments, of course, artifacts and items such as [Status Abnormality Removal Potion] cannot be used.

Irene said with a somewhat lonely expression.

“·······Well. I won’t ask how you got to be able to use magic.”

“·················ogue.”

“Because you said you’d tell me everything by this time next year.”

I’ve been in a restaurant before.

But looking at her lonely face, she couldn’t think of anything to say.

Looking at me speechless, Irene tried to put a smile on her lonely lips.

“Still, I believe in you, Theo. Let’s win this!”

Then he smiled brightly like a binggu and held out his hand.

I nodded quietly and took her hand.

“…why are you saying such a natural thing, Rin.”
