Became a Third-Rate Villain in the Hero Academy chapter 255

255 – The Game Of Love (2)

“It seems certain that you were chosen by the divine being. “It all matches the various anecdotes about sacred items passed down through the family.”

“I don’t know the English, but I think that’s what happened.”

“······I believe that the meaning of Shinmul, the source of the family, is the meaning of the entire family.”

“Is that so?”

“To put it simply, it is a teaching that has been passed down through the family from generation to generation – to silently follow even if the spirit makes a decision that you may not understand. “In some ways, I might be what kids call an old guy these days.”

“For kids these days, I don’t think Sir Maximin is an old man.”

“hahahahaha, thank you. “Anyway, these days, there are people within the House of Chalon who claim that the world has changed and that such teachings are outdated, but my thoughts remain the same.”

Looking at Theo, who nodded quietly, Maximin said.

“······And as of yesterday, the origin of the Chalon family is Theo, an outsider. I chose you. I’m not sure what Shinmul was thinking when he chose you. But the one thing that doesn’t change is that I chose you.”

Maximin said no more, but looked at Theo and [Demon Sword] In turn with calm eyes.

‘The energy itself definitely changed overnight.’

[Demon Sword], Whose true name I had just learned, was also communicating with him, and his form was different from what I had seen before. It looks closer to a long sword than a rapier.

‘Now, a new era has truly begun. ‘It cannot be stopped with small individual power.’

For the Chalon family, the [Demon Sword] Has greater meaning than the sacred items of other families.

In the first place, unlike the Balderk family, the Chalon family was not a warrior family that had been engaged in the warrior business since the past. It was a civil servant family.

So, the descendants of the Chalon family do not have the [Hero Descendants] Trait that the descendants of those who have been in the warrior industry since the past, like the Balderk family, have.

However, the ancestor of the Chalon family succeeded in subduing the devil with the [Demon Sword] That he obtained by chance.

Subduing demons is one of the greatest feats that a warrior can realistically achieve, both then and now.

This incident shocked the continent even at the time. This is because our ancestors who succeeded in subduing demons were not warriors, mercenaries, knights, wizards, or anything else, but civil servants who did office work.

From then on, the Chalon family revered the [Demon Sword] As a sacred item and placed greater emphasis on heroism rather than public affairs.

Maximin recalled his childhood when he worked hard to be chosen by [Demon Sword].

‘I found out today that I can change into other forms.’

He was originally better at spears than rapiers. However, the fact that he has always maintained the rapier was one of the many reasons for being chosen by [Demon Sword].

Not only Maximin, but all members of the Chalon family have followed such a path since the past.

“······.”

But [Demon Sword] Chose an outsider, not himself and his ancestors who had worked so hard.

An outsider who is not even a collateral of the Chalon family and does not have a single drop of the blood of the Chalon family.

His heart sank for a moment at that sad reality, but soon Maximin put his mind together.

Theo, who felt quite burdened by Mak Simin’s gaze, smiled awkwardly and opened his mouth.

“I think there is something you would like to say, please say it, Sir Maximin. As I said, I’m very sleepy because I’ve been teaching Ney all night.”

I was actually very sleepy. He drank a special drink from the House of Chalon, but it was only a temporary solution. I can barely keep my eyelids open as they try to keep closing.

However, Maximin’s next words were enough to put Theo out of sleep.

“Marry Piel. And to become the head of the Chalon family.”

“Yes…?”

Theo widened his eyes. She has an expression that no one has ever seen.

Either way, Mak Simin continued.

“If a family sacred item that has been revered for generations is passed on to an outsider for any reason, there is no need to face the faces of the ancestors who left before us. But you are a direct descendant of a family that is too large to be a son-in-law. “The Balderk family also has respect.”

“······Please wait a moment.”

But Mak Simin did not wait.

“I won’t tell you to come in as son-in-law. So Rue Walderk and Rue Chalons. Become the master of two families at the same time. It’s unprecedented on the continent, but Theo, you can do it. Of course, my direct lineage, including my sons, and the elders in the Presbyterian Church will protest to a great extent, but if you expose them to me, they will have no choice but to acknowledge you.”

“······Please wait a moment.”

As expected, Mak Simin did not wait. Once he opened his mouth, words came out like a waterfall.

“Oh, you have a fiancee. I heard that she is the eldest daughter of the Aslan family, a prestigious family of knights. But… We’re just saying this between us, Theo, when I was your age, I had a fiancée who promised me a future, but we didn’t end up getting married. If she were to take Piel as her concubine, there would be a huge backlash within the family. “It means going down a difficult path even more difficult.”

After saying that, Maximin looked at Theo intently.

He is waiting for Theo’s answer.

Theo opened his mouth.

“First of all, I didn’t know you would look at me so kindly, Sir Maximin.”

“No. “In a way, I am asking you a favor, Theo.”

“But I think it will be difficult to give you an answer right away.”

Maximin nodded his head.

“I think that’s possible. It hasn’t even been a day since I was chosen by the divine being. “I don’t think you would have thought that you would be chosen by a god.”

“That’s not what I’m talking about.”

“Then what is it?”

Maximin looked intently into Theo’s eyes.

Theo did not avoid Maximin’s calm but intense gaze and faced him.

“For now, I want to put aside all other matters and focus solely on correcting the Balderk family. “I don’t want to try to catch multiple rabbits and miss even the one rabbit I initially targeted, Sir Maximin.”

“······I see.”

Maximin rested his chin and thought for a moment before opening his mouth.

“How long is expected to take? “It’s roughly good.”

Of course, the words that would come out of Theo’s mouth were decided.

“We will make it right by the time you graduate from the academy at the latest.”

His eyes were straight, without the slightest tremor.

It was self-confidence to the point of arrogance, but Mak Simin was convinced.

Before he knew it, Theo inside him had become a warrior who was writing a new history, regardless of ranking.

“I understand, Theo. If you need my help, please let me know anytime. “I will help even if it is beyond my ability.”

Maximin nodded his head cheerfully.

Late afternoon.

Rattling, rattling──

A group of Theo were boarding the carriage returning to Ellinia Academy.

“······.”

It took quite a long time to get to Ellinia Academy, so the passengers were quite chatty among themselves, but the inside of the carriage was quiet.

“······You sleep really well.”

This is because Theo was sleeping while sitting down.

No matter how high-quality the carriage was, the road was rough and there were some bumps, but Theo sat down with his eyes closed as if he had fainted.

“That’s right, Ms. Piel. “No matter how many special drinks they drank, people who stayed up all night stayed up until lunch, so I knew this would happen.”

Irene responded.

Piel looked at the other personnel, including Irene, and opened her mouth.

“······Anyway, you guys went to Theo’s room last night, but were kicked out right away, right?”

“Yes, that’s right. “How many times do I have to say it?”

Irene said nervously.

Ever since she got kicked out of the door by Theo last night, a lot of thoughts had been going through her mind.

Of all the things, the thought that came back and forth the most was the P.L. In front of her. This is because she was dressed unusually nicely and her appearance was foreign.

‘Now that I think about it, Theo was particularly weak to Ms. Piel.’

Irene’s eyes as she looked at Piel were somewhat cold.

At that time, Alps, who had not said a word since boarding the carriage, suddenly blurted out.

“Why did Piel visit Theo late at night?”

“What…”

Her unexpected and naive question left Piel speechless.

Alice also expressed doubts.

“Hmm, I’m curious too. Is there anything rare to see in Chalon Castle at night?”

Piel hastily answered.

“Yes, that’s right! There is a ghost in Chalon Castle at night. Theo I wanted to show it to him too. “Isn’t it fascinating?”

Seria, who was crossing her arms, smiled innocently.

“Huh, that’s amazing. I’ve never actually seen a ghost even in the Magic Tower. “If I have another chance, can I see you too?”

“Yes, yes! Let’s all see each other when we get a chance!”

When Piel responded like that, she took a deep breath.

‘It was the perfect excuse!’

······In this way, Château de Chalons, one of the most beautiful buildings on the continent, suddenly became a ghost castle.
