Became a Third-Rate Villain in the Hero Academy chapter 260

260 – Waves (3)

Everyone’s eyes opened wide at the sound of the explosion that rang out in the middle of the night.

At that time, Eve entered the immigration office.

“Hello. “My name is Yves Walderk, former head of the Polaris Immigration Office.”

Eve’s eyes widened as she saw the number of people inside.

Not only Theo, Eisha, and Amy, but also the Academy Chairman, the Wood Elf Princess, and even a flashy man.

It was a composition of members that I had never imagined.

But what was more surprising was Theo’s tone of voice.

“It’s been a while, Eve.”

He actually used Tanaka font…

Even before entering the academy, he was someone who openly expressed the opinion that ‘collaterals are a disgrace to the Balderk family.’ He always used informal language if he was a relative, regardless of status or age.

‘You have become a real person…? ‘What happened in the meantime?’

Eve greeted Theo hesitantly.

“······Oh, okay. Theo…? Hi?”

Theo stood up and opened his mouth.

“Yes. “I would like to say goodbye at length, but I don’t think that’s the right time.”

After saying that, Theo went out of the immigration office.

Amy, Aisha, Taylor, and Eve followed. Sienna and Luna argued with each other and then slowly walked out.

Outside the office, knights and soldiers were making a fuss.

“Everyone gather! “Is there still a 5-minute standby?”

“Currently wearing the equipment, squad leader! “We plan to meet in three minutes.”

“Damn it, in this urgent situation! “I told everyone to wear their gear and go to bed!”

“The location where the bomb exploded. “Has it been figured out?”

“I think it’s towards the fountain in the square! A more detailed location has not yet been determined.”

“······Once the 5-minute standby group gathers, we depart. Let the citizens know first! “Don’t leave the house!”

Theo slowly observed the situation.

‘It would be better to move separately.’

The Knights of Polaris are powerful in all-out combat, but they are not suited to catching new bombers like they are currently doing.

There is a high probability that only a small number of people carried out the bombing.

Oswald, the strongman of [Turning White], May be standing behind them, but if you are a current member, you can do it without the temperamental Luna helping you.

‘Let’s leave as soon as possible.’

While the Polaris Knights were drawing their attention, it seemed most efficient to attack them through another route.

Theo asked Sienna.

“Siena. Can you tell me the location of the people who threw the bomb? “Look from the fountain side of the square.”

“Well, wait a moment. Ssinga! Quick! “Shoosh!”

Sienna called the Wind Spirit Trio and whispered something.

However, her expression soon became frowning.

“They say the area near the fountain in the square is heavily damaged, but I don’t know where they are. “They say there’s a lot of odor near the fountain that kids don’t like.”

“······I see.”

An item immediately came to Theo’s mind.

‘······It’s a spirit repellent.’

Before obtaining Her Fist, this is an item that I received from Amy and actually used to chase away Sienna’s spirit.

As far as she knows, there is only one person on the continent who can manufacture this item. And that person belongs to Equilibrium.

Theo calmly asked Taylor.

“Branch manager. “I want to know their location. Do you have any ideas?”

“No. “I can’t think of anything in particular.”

Taylor answered indifferently.

Even as Theo, who had a developed eye for people, he could not immediately judge whether the answer was true or false.

Although Theo continues to have positive interactions with Taylor, he does not truly trust her. Because he was a person who left you completely confused as to what he was thinking and what kind of picture he was drawing.

‘······Then.’

In Theo’s mind, the current situation was organized into three cases.

First, Taylor is currently lying.

Second, the producer of the spirit repellent was bribed by [Turning White].

Third, there is another maker of spirit repellent medicine.

······Anyway, I will continue this thought later.

‘I guess I have no choice but to go to the fountain in the square.’

Theo took a running stance and spoke to his companions.

“Let’s quickly move to the fountain in the square and check the clues they left behind.”

Theo and his group arrived at the fountain in the square.

Eisha said bitterly.

“······It’s so cruel.”

Just as she said, the entire nearby area was full of traces of explosions.

Because it was late, casualties were minimal, but not only the fountain but also the buildings in the nearby shopping district were destroyed.

Luna frowned.

“······They are really bad guys. Even the innocent cats went to the stars as a group.”

She looked down at the corpses of countless stray cats that had died in the terrorist attacks. And then she chanted a low spell.

After a while, she snorted her laughter.

“······Have you blocked the use of magic? “They are so gloomy that I want to tear them to death.”

The terrorists seemed to have accurately predicted Luna’s arrival.

At that time, the [Demon Sword] Strapped to Theo’s waist buzzed.

─Hey. Toward the northwest of where you are currently standing. Someone is looking at me from about 50 meters away. It’s hard to tell who it is because it’s so far away, but it’s suspicious that they keep glancing at me.

─It seems very suspicious.

It was strange to be outside when people were advised not to leave the house.

At the same time, the adage that the criminal reappears at the scene came to mind.

“Someone is looking this way. “Please follow me immediately.”

Theo chanted lowly, concentrated his energy on his legs, and then cast [Haste].

‘It is possible to use magic through [Magic Cartridge].’

Theo ran towards the suspicious person.

Paaa—!

With the sound of the wind tearing, Theo disappeared.

“······Wow. That kid is really fast? “You won’t be able to use magic.”

“That’s right. “I didn’t know that Theo’s running skills were this good.”

The companions who were preparing to run looked at the spot where he was standing, forgetting his words to immediately follow them.

As soon as he saw me running, he started running away as if there was something wrong with him.

Although it was fast, I soon succeeded in getting close behind him.

However, because it moved so quickly, it was difficult to catch it.

He swung his sword, aiming for the guy’s legs, but the guy moved strangely and avoided my sword. As if there were eyes in the back of his head.

‘······This bastard.’

I told Ney right away.

─Ni. I’ll have to grab that guy’s ankles. Please turn into a whip.

─I understand.

With a sound, the [Demon Sword] Transformed into a whip.

I aimed for his ankle and swung my whip.

“Tsk…!”

The whip was wrapped around the guy’s ankle, as if he hadn’t expected it to be swung. The guy fell forward at the same speed he was running.

I held the whip wrapped around his ankles tightly in my hand and stepped on his back with my foot.

“If you move without my permission, I will make you lose the use of your legs forever.”

But he didn’t listen to me.

“f*ck you!”

The guy was struggling and trying to escape.

I injected energy into the whip wrapped around his ankles. The whip became as hard as an iron club.

I sharply bent the whip in the opposite direction of my ankle.

“Kwaaa—─!!”

The bastard’s scream rang out.

But I emotionlessly put my strength into the foot that stepped on his back.

“Next time, it’s the other ankle.”

I wrapped the whip around the other ankle.

The guy sobbed and mumbled.

“Ta, taaheuk… Kill me instead! “You devil!”

“You have a long tongue.”

I injected energy into the whip again.

“Damn it──!! “You bastard!!”

A time when he was saddened by the imminent separation from his ankle.

“Whoa, you run really fast, Theo.”

Taylor and the others arrived.

Taylor seemed to understand the situation as soon as he saw it, and he came up to me and said,

“hahahahaha, Theo. That’s a too drastic negotiation method. “That approach is likely to backfire.”

“······Is that so?”

“Would you like to leave it to me? “Theo is a quick learner, so if you just watch him for a little while, he will learn.”

Taylor smiled the kind smile of the world.

Nay said.

─That flashy kid seems like quite the idiot.

─I agree.

─In my experience, those kids are quite creative. They are also good at producing results.

Well, there is no need for Ney to say anything.

Taylor is an executive of Equilibrium, the continent’s largest assassination group. Of course, you will be quite well versed in how to call it a negotiation and use it as a threat.

I spoke to Taylor.

“Then I will learn something, Deputy Director.”

“hahahahaha, thank you.”

Less than two hours later, Taylor

“Ma, I’ll tell you! “Please, please save me… hehehe…”

We succeeded in obtaining meaningful information from him.
