Became a Third-Rate Villain in the Hero Academy chapter 205

205 – Praise The Lord (1)

I think the Alps recruitment case ended well.

“Hey Theo… Is there anything else I need to prepare?”

Although we became the same team, it seems that Alps’ anxiety still lingers.

She stared at me hesitantly.

There is nothing to prepare.

Well, now that I’ve come this far, I guess I’ll have to check Alps’ current skill level.

“There is nothing to prepare. I just have a skill I want to show off.”

“What kind of technology…?”

Alps looked up at me with curious eyes.

For some reason, her eyes are the same as her fists waiting for her meal to come out.

“It would be faster to see for yourself.”

I stepped into the training ground.

From noble mtl dot com

“Ah, yes, yes!”

The Alps followed me.

Kiki-

Open the door to the training ground and enter.

Inside the training ground, Piel was wiping his sweat, probably taking a break.

My eyes met hers and she greeted me slightly embarrassed.

“Oh, um. Hi.”

“Nice to meet you.”

To hear that Piel is there too, it just worked out. I need to teach you how to breathe. Piel’s main armament is a sword, so it will be of great help to my enlightenment.

I picked up the practice longsword from the weapon stand and approached Piel.

* * *

Piel widened her eyes. Because she said something that Theo never thought of.

“Teach me how to breathe? To me?”

“Yes.”

Theo’s expression was still calm as he said that.

She knew the fact that Theo had taught Neike, Isilder, and Eisha how to breathe because Eisha had heard of it.

─Whoops~ That was an excellent breathing technique, Piel! No matter how many books of training there are in the storage room of the Chalon family, there will be none.

Aisha’s voice comes to mind. Yisilder, who was next to him at the time, nodded as well.

I didn’t see Neike’s reaction when he wasn’t there. But if the monstrosity had learned to do so, it’s certain that he wouldn’t be breathing normally.

So it was quite tempting.

“Well, if you tell me, I will learn. But you’re just telling me valuable skills like breathing?”

Piel looked at Theo, narrowing her eyes.

She is a body in which samurai blood flows.

He knows the value of his unique breathing method, swordsmanship, and taijutsu.

‘Why did he suddenly…?’

Unlike Neike, Isilder, and Aisha, she herself had troubled him a lot.

But to tell me how to breathe… I’m in a situation where I have questions.

Theo nodded.

“Yes.”

“Why?”

Piel asked with her serious eyes.

Theo, as in the Alps, quickly turned his head to come up with an appropriate answer.

─After a while, I’m trying to mobilize your power when I attack the magic city in the north.

······Ah, this is not it.

─Looking at Neike’s spearmanship with the breathing method applied, he gained a new characteristic. Piel You are a genius second only to Neike. He looks at your swordsmanship with breathing techniques and tries to benefit from the characteristics.

······Ah, not even this.

‘Oh, I can’t help it. I have to tell you the embarrassing truth.’

After thinking, Theo looked at Piel calmly.

“I also studied swordsmanship with Sir [Demon Hunter] The other day.”

“······And?”

“It was a debt from the finals of the martial arts competition.”

“・・・・・・Ah, that’s—”

Unlike Theo, who was calm, Piel was greatly embarrassed.

Because during the finals, I was so excited that I said everything that came out of my mouth. It was so pitiful to see him standing on top of the arena like a death row inmate waiting for the day to die.

─Rather, wouldn’t that person like Shinto-nim as it is?

This is the answer I received after telling the story of Theo to the priest at the confessional that morning.

After hearing that, I wanted to express my true feelings that day.

He told me that a brazen look suited him well.

‘I still don’t know if this is true or not.’

······But thinking about it again, I think I did well. Theo thought it was a ‘debt’.

For some reason, I feel like my face is getting hot. I was ashamed.

Piel cleared his throat and said.

“Kuh, kuh hmm. Okay. If you let me know, I will put it to good use.”

I wanted to express my gratitude with pretty words, but that was the limit.

Theo smiled lightly and winked at Alps.

Alps nodded several times reflexively.

“Okay, take a good look.”

After briefly warming up, Theo began swinging his longsword.

After about an hour.

“Umm, I think it’s better to do it this way than the way I did before.”

Piel swung the practice sword in his hand.

Whiiik, Whiririk—!

Before she knew it, her swordsmanship had almost all the breathing techniques Theo taught her. Rather she applied at a faster rate than Neike.

Theo calmly gazed at her.

‘Perhaps it’s because the swordsmanship is similar to each other, so the application speed is fast.’

Much of her own swordsmanship roots come from Maximin and Piel.

Piel’s roots in swordsmanship also have many similarities since a large part of her came from Maximin.

Thanks to this, the way Theo didn’t know, or the more efficient breathing method is being improved in real time.

Even with the same breathing method, Neike’s main weapon was her spear, so it was not possible to apply it as it is and had to arrange it, but Piel’s main weapon is a sharp sword similar to a longsword, so it is safe to apply it almost as it is.

Of course, the details are different because of the difference in height and stats.

For example, Piel’s height is about 25cm shorter than Theo’s, so her stabbing tends to be upward thrusting.

Theo looked at Alps, who was also swinging a sword near her.

“Ummm… Hoo, hoo!”

Compared to Piel, her swordsmanship was close to that of a chick. She was barely applying breathing techniques.

Looking at it objectively, she was worse at learning than Theo.

‘Well, let’s be satisfied with the fact that we are trying to work hard.’

Theo decided not to say anything to Alps.

Even if she doesn’t have to say it, she must be well aware of her shortcomings. The most frustrating thing for her right now is that she will be her.

‘Fortunately, the fortunate thing is that he uses the same longsword as in this work. When you do a slam attack, your arms have a habit of floating excessively.’

Theo went behind the Alps, and she gently held her wrists.

She could clearly hear the vibrations of her body flinching, but she chose to ignore it.

“When performing a slash attack, her arms tend to float a little higher. I think a height like this would be appropriate.”

Saying that, Theo grabbed both of her wrists and placed them at the proper height.

“······Go, thank you, Mr. Theo······.”

Alps, who had turned red to her ears, lowered her head.

Said Theo.

“There is no need to look down. Keep your gaze the same.”

“Ah, I see…”

Alps raised his flushed face again, and Theo smiled lightly.

“It is said that you have your own pace, but correcting this right away before it becomes a habit can save time in many ways. Let’s just keep going like this.”

“Yes, yes!”

Alps answered with a spirited voice.

“Huh.”

Seeing the scene, Piel’s eyebrows bent into her arms.

Since I was watching something, I felt strange. Did you say Alps? Why is that white-haired kid blushing like that?

Theo’s enthusiasm and teaching one by one is different, though.

Piel wields his sword separately, and Theo takes care of Alps swordsmanship.

About 30 minutes passed like that.

The sound of a large belly clock resonated throughout the training ground.

It was born in the belly of the Alps.

‘Uh, aaa!’

I was so ashamed.

Maybe it was because of the intense training, my stomach went out right away.

It was also her first time for her to undergo customized training as she does today, so she worked very hard.

‘Te, Mr. Theo is a person who strictly observes aristocratic etiquette… What would he think of me?’

Wouldn’t you despise yourself for not having dignity-

Alps looked at Theo with anxious eyes.

But.

“Hmm, looks like it’s time for a meal. If it’s okay, let’s go eat together. Will you go with me too? I will buy it.”

Theo said indifferently.

Alps blinked at that attitude.

Piel said with a smile.

“No, I will live. You bought it before.”

“Then I won’t decline.”

“Yes. But can’t we just use his cheesy and hard way of talking? Hey, even among the old warriors from the dukes and counts, I haven’t seen a single one who speaks like that.”

“It is inevitable.”

“Oooh… Anyway, let’s go quickly. It’s the last day of the festival today, and there are special performances, so it’s going to be crazy.”

“Yes. I’m going to take a shower I think it will take about five minutes.”

After saying that, Theo turned his back and headed towards the corner of the training ground. It was in the direction of the shower.

Piel clicked her tongue.

“Fish oil… It’s really the same.”

It felt good that he, who looked like he was going to break just yesterday, came back as usual.
