Became a Third-Rate Villain in the Hero Academy

158 – Overtime (1)

After a while, Smith came into the room. In his arms was an antique case engraved with the pattern of the Chalon family.

“This is the item you ordered, my lord.”

“Hmm.”

Maximin took over the case from Smith.

Smith glanced at Theo with a dissatisfied look, then moved closer to Maximin.

“My head of household, you must be busy, but there are some special issues.”

“Tell me.”

“There are reporters, guild & state officials all over the room, head of household. The number we have identified is at least 30. There are also some people who are hostile to the house of Chalong.”

“hahahahaha, they seem to have a lot of interest in the young genius of the Balderc family.”

“Shall we take action, Headmistress? There was no trace of magic or artifacts, but she could act disrespectfully, such as trying to eavesdrop on the Headmistress’ conversation.”

“No, that’s all right. As expected, you, Smith, are thoroughly thorough. Please rest separately, you worked hard.”

Tuk Tuk-

Maximin smiled lightly and patted Smith on the shoulder.

“Yes, yes! I understand, the head of the household! Let’s go now.”

“Yes.”

Smith answered with a thrilling voice and left the room with his head bowed in a angled posture towards Maximin.

Theo looked at the scene with indifferent eyes.

‘He’s good at training.’

As expected, the owner of the continent’s most prestigious family. Shall we use carrots and sticks appropriately? You have to learn something like that.

‘By the way, that case Smith brought.’

Theo has seen that in the original work. It is a case with an antique design that can only be used by the owner of the Chalon family.

Maximin handed the case to Theo.

“I don’t know if it’s a little short of a mark of s*x. Take it.”

Theo received the case Maximin gave him.

“It’s a gift to the few people in the House of Chalons who hold it dear, Theo. Check it out now. If you don’t like it, I’ll give it another name.”

“Thank you. Well, the fact that it was a gift from Lord [Demon Hunter] Is enough.”

Theo gave lip service and slowly opened the case.

Inside the case was a ring. It is a well-designed item with the pattern of the duchy of Chalon engraved on it.

It was expected.

Theo projected item information in front of his eyes.

●Commemorative Ring of the Duchess of Shalon [Rating: Rare]

: Commemorative ring produced in small numbers by the Shalon duchy.

Slightly increases fatigue recovery when equipped. Fatigue recovery value also applies to mental strength.

When equipped, it is bound to the first wearer.

‘Oh, I thought I’d give this away.’

Theo still looked nonchalant on the outside, but on the inside he laughed.

This ring, as Maximin said, is given only to those who have a close relationship with the Chalon family.

As long as you wear it, everyone recognizes that you are related to the Chalon family, even if you don’t say anything. If you cheat with the person wearing this ring, you will also cheat with the Shalon family.

‘The effect is nothing better than this in the current situation.’

If your fatigue recovery level increases, you will feel more comfortable with the aftereffects of [Overlord].

“…Don’t you like it? It’s actually quite helpful as it has a unique fatigue recovery magic.”

Maximin looked at Theo, who was still indifferent, and asked.

“No, I really like it. I want to keep wearing it, but it’s a pity that I’m still in the first year, so I can’t bring it into the Department of Warriors.”

“Crunch, Theo-kun has a naive side in strange places. I also graduated from Ellinia Academy, but if it wasn’t for something like a big long weapon, everyone would be quiet. When I was your age, I also used small artifacts like necklaces and rings. Was always worn.”

“hahahahaha. I have a lot of enemies. If someone reports it, I’ll be in trouble for nothing. Hasn’t [Demon Hunter] Ever been like that?”

“Hmm, there was once.”

“How are you?”

“During the practical skills training evaluation, I made him bloody. I was just going to warn him moderately, but he incited me to be an Artifact sucker, what? Anyway, I haven’t been reported to him since then, hahahahaha.”

“·······.”

Theo gently nodded his head at Maximin, who burst out laughing.

‘Anyway, I like the options.’

It’s a problem if you get caught, if you don’t get caught, there’s no problem.

Of course, I will bring it into the academy. You should wear it to sleep after training.

And confirming artifact information may require an appraisal in general.

Unlike Theo, the possessor, ordinary people cannot use convenience functions such as checking item information and character information.

If you use it secretly, you won’t get caught.

“Thanks for the gift anyway, Sir Demon Hunter. I really like it.”

“Okay, try it on now. I think something with long white hands will suit you-“

Maximin stopped talking.

It was only then that he found another ring on Theo’s hand. Put on the fourth finger of his left hand.

“…Hoo, what is this ring?”

“This ring was given to commemorate winning the Knights Faculty Tournament.”

“When you say the Knight Faculty tournament, do you mean this vs. This tournament?”

“Yes, it is.”

“Heh heh heh, it reminds me of old memories. I won the championship too. But if I remember correctly, I know that ring is made to order according to the size of the finger and paid out.”

“I didn’t know they offered products like this, but my fiancée made them to order.”

“Theo-kun, where is your fiancé?”

Maximin tilted his head. He knew for the first time that Theo had a fiancée.

This is because Maximin has cut off ties with the outside world for one reason or another over the past few years and has rarely been active.

Theo replied.

“This is Miss Irene Aslan from Countess Aslan, Sir 「Demon Hunter」. She also attends Ellinia Academy.”

“Ah, the Aslan family. It’s a prestigious knight family. It’s impossible for people in the Empire to know that name.”

“Yes, it is. She is also my swordsmanship teacher.”

“…That’s right.”

Maximin thought deeply, and then he nodded as if he had made up his mind.

“Okay, Theo. Today’s meeting was very meaningful even though there were various incidents.”

“It was an honor for me too, Sir Demon Hunter.”

“I’ll formally invite you to the Chalon family soon, Theo-kun. Say hello to Robert as well. I’ve been training for a long time in closed ceremonies, so I can’t reach you.”

At this point, Robert, who is in hiding, is Theo’s father and the head of the Balderc family.

In this work, there is a big event related to Robert that belongs to the main story. This is the story of Aisha trying to take over the position of the Balderk family head in earnest.

Remembering the contents of this work, Theo nodded bitterly.

“······Yes, I understand. I will try.”

Before we knew it, it was past 10pm.

Inside Natasha’s room.

Natasha was writing a report to submit to Locke.

Ssuk- Ssuk-ssuk.

Natasha threw her pen onto the paper.

“Ugh, it’s the head.”

Natasha looked down at her report and tore her hair out.

Now she was in a state where her head was spinning with stress.

“Whew, I feel like I’m not writing because there’s so much to write. I still have to do it.”

On the day of the association’s regular academic seminar, Marie’s teaching assistant was ill, so Natasha was put in an emergency at Locke’s request.

Originally, she had to work unexpectedly overtime on the precious weekend when she had to lie on the bed and look at the hero’s photo books and magazines, etc., And admire her.

“Oh, I’m really going to get overtime pay and compensatory leave.”

Natasha babbles, and she continues writing her report.

But, there is so much to write about.

The biggest problem is, of course, Theo.

Not only the contents of the paper’s presentation, but also the secret connection between Johnson and Biff, Maximin Maximin and Theo.

―Natasha, I am really sorry for being late. Could you please give me a moment? I need a photo for tomorrow’s headline article in our journal.

―I came from the commoners’ association. I would like to talk with Theo, who is aristocratic but more friendly to commoners than anyone else, about the future prospects of the warrior society.

―I came all the way from the Eastern Empire to this distant Rosenheim Kingdom to meet Theo! Even if it’s sincere, even if it’s just for one minute. Would you like to share your story!

From noble mtl dot com

Reporters, Guild & State officials encamped outside the door.

The story of those humans who are stressed for hours should be written in the report.

Natasha’s credo is to work under stress, overtime, and sleep, and to do the job well.

But when she leaves, she has nothing to say to them. After all, what they need is Theo.

“He’s such a great kid. Was there ever a kid that shocked you this much in first grade?”

Natasha’s hobby is fantasizing about warriors. Although she has a quick insight into the anecdotes and information of various famous warriors, she has never given her a series of shocks like Theo.

What should I say? Is there no standardized framework? It was like an unknown existence that could not be predicted where it would bounce.

“By the way Theo, when is he coming?”

Natasha tilted her head.

After the seminar, Theo went straight to Maximin, but people were camped outside the door to see if he hadn’t come yet.

“Oh, I don’t know~ I’ll have to write a report or something.”

Anyway, now I can’t even go outside the door to find it.

The moment you open the door and leave, you will be surrounded by people.

As I was thinking about that, an unexpected voice came from outside the door.

―This is Master Theo’s secretary, Amy. Miss Natasha, could you open the door for me?
