Became a Third-Rate Villain in the Hero Academy

156 – Mask (7)

After leaving the auditorium where the seminar was held, I went straight back to my room.

“Whoa.”

Johnson, I was surprised by the name I didn’t like. Whatever the reason, they cut the presenter’s words and crashed into it.

I was quite taken aback by the unexpected development, but I think I managed to manage it well.

‘[Twisted nobility’s dignity] Long live, long live.’

It hurts me every day, but it’s been a long time since I’ve been very useful.

When Johnson made a sudden start, he was greatly taken aback. Without the [Twisted Noble Dignity], The result would have been different.

Even if this guy’s future changes, it has changed too much. It’s been a long time since I left my hands, but every single event is brutal.

Johnson is a member of the Warriors’ Association, made up of young aristocrats, and he leads a cartel he calls ‘Johnson Pam’.

In this work, Johnson Pam continues to win and win. Johnson’s personality is a bit of a b*tch, but his ability is there. Then, he ignores Neike because he is a commoner, and he receives a proper education. After that, the organization disintegrated and Johnson did not appear.

An organization that will collapse anyway, I must make good use of it.

There is no reason not to use it.

So at the time, I wanted to make Johnson a dick, but I held back. The more connections you make, the better.

It’s because Johnson is always stepped on by Marie, a young ace from the aristocratic warriors’ association. He has a unique position among warriors of his age.

Besides, the family isn’t as good as the Balderkes and Chalons, but it’s a pretty good family.

Unlike Marie, who is a single person, Johnson is constantly running a private organization called ‘Johnson Fam’.

Well, since I threw in a justification for asking questions later, wouldn’t the favor be repaid someday? Even if it’s not big, you’ll be able to get at least some help.

Anyway, I’m going to wrap up this event and go meet Maximin.

I’m a bit hungry after finishing, but I’ll go right away. Maximin is in a state of liking me quite a bit. He must also remove the bull’s horn.

They say you can bring other people, but there is no reason to bring them. I guess you don’t even want to

The reason I met Maximin anyway is to build up a good feeling towards me.

When Marie returned to her room, her mind was confused.

She thought Natasha had something to say, but she wasn’t in the mood to talk.

‘I knew Theo was a formidable guy, but I didn’t expect him to be that much.’

He looked like a seasoned warrior who had been rolling for decades.

Under that circumstance, he would have become a father most of the time.

When Johnson cut off his words, the one who was most embarrassed was none other than Marie herself.

Marie has been at odds with Johnson since she was a child. She knows Johnson well. A person who has his abilities, but collects the bad parts of nobles who judge the surroundings with black and white logic.

But while Theo protected himself, he also gained favor from Johnson. Johnson’s eyes, as bright as those of a cow, were genuine.

Even Theo masterfully mastered the people in the auditorium.

Marie staggered and sighed, then sat down on the bed.

“Ah, now I don’t know~”

Theo is the kind of person who never gets justice, even if he rolls a duckbill here and there.

After the seminar, the tension is relieved. It is fortunate that much of the stress she has been receiving has been relieved.

“Ah, let’s lie down for a while.”

Marie closed her eyes.

“No…?”

Piel’s pupils fluctuated.

“That’s right, Piel. Baron Theo, who we’ve had quite a few conversations with, isn’t a contractor. Of course, we can’t say 100%, but where in the world is 100%?”

Maximin looked at her daughter and nodded slightly.

“I see.”

Piel put her head down and couldn’t lift it.

In my heart, I desperately hoped that Theo would not be a contract holder, but in my head, my brother, whose fate was different due to the contract of the great devil. Mark Byrne comes to mind.

I firmly believed in Theo as my heart told me to, but if he were even a contractor, my heart would be shattered.

Maximin sensed that her daughter was in an unusual condition.

“Everybody stay out.”

“Yes, head of the household.”

After letting her men go, Maximin looked at Piel with serious eyes.

“Piel. Even to me, that guy, Theo, is brilliant. No, he’s close to a hero in terms of his spirit. But it’s hard to see him as a contractor of the Great Devil just because he suddenly changed.”

Piel didn’t answer.

She’s just hanging her head still.

“I know that you don’t mean much to the hero. But if you really care for your precious friend, I think it’s better to approach it rationally rather than emotionally.”

“······Is that so, Father?”

Responding to Maximin’s words, Piel raised her head.

Maximin smiled infinitely benevolently.

“Yes. On the contrary, this father is happy. After Markburn left like that, how hard you must have been. That’s why I sent you to the academy, so you did well to send me. I also met precious friends.”

“······It’s true that we’re friends, but they’re not really that important.”

Her face reddened, and Piel lowered her head again.

Maximin thought her daughter was cute and stroked her hair.

“Ha ha ha, I made a mistake. All friends are precious. The word ‘precious friend’ is not correct.”

Maximin continued.

“Then you should help your friend, right? With reason rather than emotion. Trust only this dad. You know that dad is a [Demon hunter], Right? There’s no church on the continent that catches demons as well as dad.”

Piel nodded slightly.

Maximin seems to like Theo too, so that would be a big help.

“Let’s throw away the speculation that Theo made a contract with the devil.”

“Why? People have changed so much?”

“Piel, the Demon King has never descended before. Of course, he may descend tomorrow. But that’s the case…”

Maximin stopped talking and looked at Piel.

As if Piel was telling her to speak quickly, she stared at Maximin with an impatient look.

“If the demon king descends, you can’t stop it anyway, Piel. You know that there are high-level and intermediate demons under the demon king, right? It’s a case where the damage was reduced by handling it.”

“······Markburn was originally brilliant. Theo, until recently, he was an idiot with less intelligence let alone combat.”

“hahahaha. There are advanced demons above intermediate demons, Piel. One advanced demon can command dozens or hundreds of intermediate demons as limbs. Then what about the Demon King?”

Seeing the silent Piel, Maximin continued.

“So, if the demon king descends, the continent will end anyway. Even if the entire continent attacks, there will be no reason. Even if there is ‘it’, no one will use it properly. , Piel.”

Maximin smiled.

“A person who is a hero to some may be a villain to others. Everyone lives wearing a mask. And there is no need to take off that mask. Piel, you can do whatever you want.”

“·······Yes.”

Piel’s body trembled.

My father, a demon hunter, is saying that with such confidence.

······Then how should we view Theo now?

She was mentally dead after Markburn’s death.

In order to live, he entered the academy and met Neike. After that, he lived to beat Neike.

However, it was not the purpose of naturally boiling inside. Just to live, he was close to the mission given to prevent himself from collapsing.

Theo was different.

Just looking at him makes his heart tingle.

Maximin grinned, wondering if he knew Piel’s feelings.

“So let’s assume that you are a contractor with the devil, Piel. The first thing you need to do is to check the brand on your body. They all have a stigma. Theo needs an excuse to see his body.”

Saying that, Maximin thought of an excuse to see Theo’s body.

“I asked to be invited to the Chalon family first, so I’ll have a chance to see myself. For example, teach me combat skills? If I offer to teach you a trick, of course I’ll agree if he’s not a contractor—”

Maximin’s words did not follow.

Because a shocking voice came out of his daughter’s mouth.

“I’ve already seen it.”

“What, what…?”

Maximin’s eyes were shaking.

“·······hahahahaha, it seems that she has lost her ears a bit with her age. My daughter, can you say it again?”

“―You’ve seen it all already, Theo Mom! Everything!”

Piel exclaimed.

“·······.”

From noble mtl dot com

Piel’s shocking remarks.

Maximin could only look at his daughter with dumb eyes. No matter how open-minded kids these days are, it shouldn’t be my daughter.

Before long, Maximin’s entire body trembled.

Then.

Smart-

A knock was heard.
