Became a Third-Rate Villain in the Hero Academy chapter 166

166 – I’m the best (4)

Aisha knows that she is objective and that she is pretty herself.

But people like pretty girls more when they don’t know that they are pretty.

So Eisha has been acting since she was little, pretending she doesn’t know that she is pretty.

It is to show the fantasy that people want to see.

Since ancient times, it has been used even when a small number of high-ranking nobles ruled over the majority of the common people.

People see only what they want to see and interpret it according to their own standards. Whether it’s a great mage or a legendary hero, anyone with emotions is the same.

From ancient times to the present, this must be the reason why witch hunts have not ceased.

Whether or not Theo knew Eisha’s intentions, she paused for a while before saying.

“No luck, Aisha.”

“Whoa, do you admit that I’m pretty?”

Aisha smiled like Sienna. She was meant to tease Theo.

If she knew Theo, she would definitely turn away from her and evade her answer.

Said Theo.

“Yes, it is pretty.”

“…Yes, yes?”

Isha stuttered her words at the unexpected reply.

“I guess you really liked the styling.”

Isha gave an appropriate answer, spinning her head quickly.

On the outside, she pretended to be calm, but she was quite flustered.

‘···What, all of a sudden. Theo, was this a man who could say such a thing?’

Click-

Isha swallowed her saliva. Her cheeks were slightly red.

“Anyway, the beauty pageant starts soon! I’ll go out first and reserve a seat for you.”

Hodadak-

Before Isha could hear Theo’s answer, she left the classroom.

“Hmm. Why are you doing that all of a sudden?”

Theo murmured as she looked at Isha’s back as she disappeared like a bolt.

“By the way, Siena, why are you smiling like that?”

Theo said to Sienna in her backseat.

“Huh, Theo is really cute. If you are a hero, charm that attracts women is essential!”

Sienna tried to hug Theo.

Theo moved her body slightly to avoid it.

“…”

However, Sienna’s hug was inevitable.

It’s because Siena used her spirit to hold Theo’s ankles.

“Let go, Sienna.”

“Huh, I can’t help it. I mean it was just too cute. Uh-oh~ Look at those innocent eyes that say they don’t know anything. I want to bite it off.”

“Uh, bub-!”

After Theo was hugged by Sienna for a while, she was able to break free.

The Academy Festival Beauty Contest started on the stage installed near the Faculty of Engineering.

A total of 204 participants. Of these, only 10 will qualify for the finals.

Since there are too many participants compared to the number of finalists, the preliminaries proceed at a fast pace. The contestant comes to the center of the stage and is scored by four judges. The judges are all professors at Ellinia Academy.

─hahahahaha, he was a very cute contestant. Then, please come out next participant number 54!

A male host with a cheerful voice exclaimed with a strong voice.

Participant No. 54 Came up on stage.

Participant #54 was Jacob, a male student from the Faculty of Engineering. He participated to reminisce about his school days with his friends.

He had a big piece of rouge on his cheek, and had a funny face with primary-colored lipstick.

Laughter erupted from the audience.

“Jacob, disgusting! Go down! I feel like throwing up!”

“I took all the pictures, Jacob! If you have a girlfriend, look forward to it!”

“Why are your lips like that! Did you catch and eat a mouse, Jacob!”

“Wow, he is very cute. But where do you think you saw it?”

“Isn’t that the baseball club of the Knights Faculty?”

“Ah, that’s right. I think I saw you at the baseball stadium.”

The presenter suppressed the heat in the audience and continued the process.

─hahahahaha, I think participant 54’s name is Jacob. The makeup method is so unique~ I think it will be popular in 100 years!

At the words of the presenter, laughter erupted from the audience again.

“Fish oil. No matter how much beauty contests are said to be a place to laugh and enjoy, I hope you don’t do things like that. How many times already It’s not elegant at all.”

A judge wearing a well-tailored suit and growing a mustache spoke lowly so that only the other judges could hear.

“Yes, Professor Henderson. With about 150 people left, I think 10 more kids like that will come out.”

“Tsk, tsu… Is that kind of cool these days?”

Henderson and the judges didn’t like the current situation.

Although they all had different tastes, it was because they were people who pursued beauty as the top priority in life.

‘It would be more elegant to go to the professor’s office and write a thesis.’

Henderson clicked his tongue in silence.

No matter how young the students are, I was embarrassed to see them treat the tournament in a funny way.

Before being reinstated, when I was offered a judge, I accepted it with a happy heart. But not now.

Perhaps the same goes for the other judges, everyone worked hard to manage their facial expressions so that their ulterior motives would not be revealed.

The tournament continued, and the preliminaries were nearing their end.

─It was the 203rd participant, Sally from the Faculty of Engineering! Woohoo~ The heat in the audience is still hot. If I’m going to guess carefully, Sally will make it to the finals!

With the presenter’s comment, Sally left.

─Now, let’s invite the last contestant of the preliminaries! Contestant 204, please come out!

The presenter felt a sense of liberation that it was finally over. After introducing 204 people non-stop, I was very tired.

‘Let’s say hello and leave quickly. I finally rest!’

The 204th participant was Theo.

Theo walked to the center of the stage with haughty steps.

─·······.

“·······.”

Both the presenter and the audience became quiet.

So far, neither side has ever been quiet.

Like it or not, Theo stood in the center of the stage, not paying attention to the people around him.

─Kuhm, hmm! Contestant 204 is a male student! Judging by the epaulet on his shoulder, he seems to be a student at the College of Bravery.

The host, who hastily regained consciousness, made a comment. Still, he couldn’t take his eyes off Theo’s face. So far, the male contestant has been kicked out as soon as possible, which is different.

“””Wow……”””

Intermittent exclamations erupted from the audience. There was nothing for everyone to do.

─It’s a preliminary match without greetings, but since it’s the last contestant, let’s ask a simple question! Participants, please tell us your name and department!

“1St year of the Faculty of Bravery, Theo Linn Balderk.”

Theo introduced himself in dry shorts. Because he was nervous, he strengthened [Twisted Nobility’s Dignity] With the [Amplification Sphere] As much as possible.

Other contestants hurriedly responded with respectful words, but Theo was different.

─Ah, yes! Participant 204 was, of course, a student at the Faculty of Bravery! She’s from the same Balderuk family as Miss Aisha.

The presenter knew it was wrong, but he couldn’t reprimand it.

An indescribable grace radiated from the silver-haired boy.

The same goes for the judges. They were busy staring at Theo, wide-eyed.

The judges’ eyes were sharp.

Minimal makeup, emphasizing her strengths.

Most people wouldn’t have noticed, but they recognized it because they were experts.

Of course, even without makeup, there would be no difference in appearance.

‘There was beauty like that even among humans.’

Henderson’s long mustache quivered. He was thrilled

It was the first time I had seen such a shocking appearance in a good way since I saw a male elf called [Sword Demon] In the Great Forest more than 10 years ago.

It is a violent beauty.

The silver-haired boy in the center of the stage was shouting with his body as if he were the standard of beauty.

‘He was the only one who introduced himself in short language.’

There is no way you don’t know that the judges are academy professors.

However, that noble arrogance, on the contrary, made his beauty shine even more.

His steps on the stage exuded a grace that could not be hidden.

“Heh, heh heh…”

Before he knew it, Henderson’s mouth fell open.

Then, the silver-haired boy looked at him.

Red eyes are visible.

Those eyes are shining like rubies, but burning like crimson flames. His red eyes had a suction power that took his breath away.

It has been quite a while since beauty pageants became contests for female students.

But whoever decided that unwritten rule, the silver-haired boy seems to be scolding with his eyes.

“Eh, Elegance…”

Henderson rose from his seat and clapped his hands weakly.

Other judges followed Henderson up and clapped their hands.

With Theo at the end, the preliminaries for the beauty pageant ended.

About 15 minutes later.

─Thank you for waiting! Then, we will announce the finalists of the Ellinia Academy Festival Beauty Contest!
