Became a Third-Rate Villain in the Hero Academy

167 – I’m the best (5)

Unlike the simplified preliminaries, the Ellinia Academy Festival Beauty Contest finals have time for individual finalists to introduce themselves and appeal their charms.

In other words, looks aren’t everything. Even if the appearance is relatively pushed a little, there is room for overturning with charm.

The presenter spoke in a cheerful voice.

─Yes, we will announce the finalists right now!

Among the list of 10 finalists, Theo and Sally were included.

When the presenter called Sally’s name, Andrew in the audience exclaimed in delight.

‘As expected! There’s no way Miss Sally wasn’t chosen. She believed!’

The sense of superiority of being a man who dated a woman who advanced to the finals of the beauty pageant gripped Andrew.

Of course, it didn’t matter if Sally had failed to advance to the finals. Because she was so happy for Andrew just to spend time with Sally.

‘As expected, the best makeup for a woman is a smiling face.’

Sally is not an orthodox beauty, but thanks to her unique bright smile, she broke through the competition and advanced to the finals.

When Andrew’s lips were twitching like that,

─That’s all, 10 finalists. Sorry for the long wait! The final round of the Ellinia Academy Festival Beauty Contest will begin immediately!

With the host’s voice, the beauty contest finals began.

─Then, let me introduce you to the first finalists right away! Ah, I don’t think it was too strong from the beginning. It was a really shocking contestant.

The presenter, holding the progress table in his hand, trembled.

─Please clap your hands! This is Theorin Balderk from the Department of Bravery!

As soon as the presenter finished speaking, Theo walked out onto the stage.

Theo’s steps were as dignified as in the preliminaries.

There was no response from the audience. Only exclamations and the sound of the camera shutter echoed.

Audiences saw Theo not too long ago in the preliminaries, but seeing it again, it was a shocking look.

Like it or not, Theo didn’t pay attention to his surroundings.

She could have seemed arrogant. But Theo stood in the center of the stage, staring straight ahead.

The host walked over to Theo in the middle of the stage.

─Hello, Mr. Theorin Walderk. First of all, congratulations on reaching the finals. And he is the only male student among the finalists. How do you feel now!

The presenter passed her spare mic to Theo.

“I am very nervous. They say it was a beauty contest I participated in to create memories from my school days, but I didn’t expect to advance to the finals.”

Theo said nonchalantly. He didn’t look nervous at all.

The presenter laughed exaggeratedly.

─Ohhh! Contrary to that, words are very clear and flowing! Ah, I was hoping for a short speech like the preliminaries, but it’s different from what I expected. Oh, I’m sorry.

The atmosphere in the audience was a little relaxed by the presenter’s joke. Laughter erupted from the audience.

Theo alternately looked at the host and the audience with a nonchalant face.

‘Hmm, I guess I have to say something.’

Theo took a quick lecture from Aisha after the preliminary round. She was named Eisha, she [How she becomes an idol who seizes the masses].

The core content was that ‘in order to become a differentiated idol, anti-war charm is essential’.

Chomping on the contents, Theo said.

“Then shall we speak briefly again?”

There was a heavy energy in that voice. It was because he was still strengthening the [Dignity of the twisted nobility].

Theo said it was a joke, but the host and the audience felt cold.

The host hurriedly took care of it.

─Ah, ah! You can do that, hahahahaha. As befits a member of the Balderg family, Theo jokes very seriously.

“Thank you for noticing.”

Saying that, Theo laughed.

It was a light smile, but since it had been expressionless up until now, it looked so bright to the host and the audience.

─Oooh~ You knew how to laugh, Theo-kun! Your smile is really beautiful. To be honest, I confused my gender identity for a while. Ha ha ha ha

“””Puhahahaha-!”””

Now, people in the audience are responding that Theo is cute.

It was Theo who became an idol who dominated the public in a short time, saying that even if you go to Moro, you only have to go to Seoul.

In the audience, Isha looked at Theo with her tired eyes.

‘Chuck, isn’t this your first time?’

It was a fearsome acquisition. Theo now looked like a seasoned entertainer.

The presenter continued the process immediately.

─Keuheum, keuheum. I’m kidding, of course. I have a loving wife and two toad-like sons at home. Since it’s the finals, you can’t not have time for the census, right? Then the question is! What does Theo do outside of academy classes?

“I spend most of my time training. I tend not to leave the premises of the College of Bravery.”

─hahahahaha, Theo-kun is overconfident in our intelligence network. According to the information I received, I heard that you attended an academic seminar last week. Even as the author of a collaborative study.

The presenter gestured, and a staff member came out with several pieces of paper.

The presenter who received the paper from the staff read it.

Theo interviewed reporters during an academic seminar and articles describing the situation at the time.

─There are many other~, but I’ll stop here in case Theo-kun is too surprised by our intelligence! hahahahaha, you do a lot of activities besides training.

“Ah, I think this is also part of training. Since ancient times, training for warriors is not limited to martial arts. You have to constantly sharpen and polish yourself so that you can become an example to yourself and to the aides.”

Theo said calmly.

It was his sincerity, which he always thought about.

When the upper water is clear, the lower water is clear. There are only idiot aids under idiot warriors.

Staring at the audience who were admiring Theo’s remarks, the presenter trembled loudly.

─Hey, how can you say such cheesy things openly? Uh, but what kind of atmosphere is this? People who would have laughed if I did it…! Isn’t this too much

The presenter’s sly words brought laughter to the audience again. The host and Theo, the two of them skillfully controlled the audience.

Isha looked at Theo with her weary eyes.

‘It wasn’t even a rehearsal, it was such a chemistry with the host on the spot. That’s what I was born with.’

In Aisha’s eyes, the current Theo seemed like a person born to be an idol.

After Theo’s turn, the beauty pageant finals continued.

However, the impact of Theo, who came out first, was strong, so the other participants couldn’t cheer up.

Of course, there was no response from the audience, only a formal response.

Meanwhile, the beauty pageant was coming to an end.

─Then, let’s meet the finalists! This is Miss Sally Gallagher from the Faculty of Engineering! Give everyone a big round of applause!

Accompanied by the cheerful voice of the host, Sally came out to the center of the stage with a smile.

However, contrary to the presenter’s comment, there was no response from the audience.

Sally was still smiling brightly. However, it was because the other finalists were not attractive compared to Theo, and the audience was tired.

‘These bastards! Clap your hands, clap!’

Andrew in the audience gnashed his teeth and was furious.

How dare you treat Sally like this? She couldn’t stand it

Angry Andrew stood up from his seat and shouted.

“Miss Sally is so beautiful! Miss Sally is the best! Your smile is worth more than dozens of rare artifacts!”

Some of the audience’s eyes turned to Andrew.

The presenter, whose eyes caught the prey, pointed at Andrew.

─Hey, it’s like a beauty pageant! I’m sorry if there is no response like that. Hey, judging by the epaulettes on your shoulders, it looks like you’re a student at the College of Bravery.

All the eyes of the audience turned to Andrew.

‘Say hair…!’

Andrew was ashamed to death.

But she never wanted to see Sally die.

Andrew ran out of control and shouted loudly.

“I am Andrew Jackson, a first year student at the Faculty of Military Science! Miss Sally cannot be treated like this!”

─Oh, I couldn’t believe it, but it was Andrew, the heavenly horse. He is the top student in the 9th place in the 1st year ranking of the Faculty of Bravery. You can feel the spirit from here! Then everyone should respond to his call, right? Let’s give Miss Sally a round of applause!

The presenter made a comment that I don’t know if it was a tease or a compliment.

However, the audience seemed to be surprised by the sudden situation and just noticed.

Cried Andrew, his eyes wide open.

“Didn’t you hear what the host said? Clap everyone! Hit it!”

Clap clap clap clap—

Feeling Andrew’s madness, the audience looked at Andrew with fearful eyes and clapped their hands.

Click click─

Reporters who did not miss this rare scene filmed Andrew with their cameras.

“Ah.”

Moist tears welled up in Sally’s eyes as she looked at Andrew. Her face was red like a blush.
