Became a Third-Rate Villain in the Hero Academy

173 – All Mine (5)

The contest that Isha invited me to participate in was the [Snowball Fight Contest].

It was absurd. Don’t you feel insignificant in the word ‘snowball fight’? Theo inside me seemed to have the same thoughts, and after a while, [Twisted Noble Dignity] Was activated.

Isha pouted her lips.

“No, Theo. I understand why, but just listen.”

“I need to hear the reason to know why.”

“Isn’t it because of the insignificance of the word ‘snowball fight’?”

What kind of interests does Aisha use? It’s getting better and better.

It was a hit, but she didn’t want to admit it.

“Let’s listen first.”

“Yes. First of all, Theo, now you know how good your looks are, right?”

I can’t figure that out anymore.

I won a beauty contest where I was worried that I could win within 3rd place.

I nodded.

“Roughly.”

“That’s why I have to use that ability. [Snowball fights] Are mostly female students. This is the gender ratio of [Snowball Contest] Participants for the last 5 years, obtained separately. Last year, the gender ratio of participants was 8.5 To 1.5.”

Tak, Tak!

Standing in front of the podium, Isha pointed her ballpoint pen at her statistics table pasted on the blackboard in her classroom.

I said.

“Hmm, that’s right.”

“Hmm~ I see~ What? Do you really not understand why you have to participate even here? I will explain in a little more detail if necessary.”

“Tell me more.”

It seems that Isha is obsessed with playing the master lecturer, so she agrees.

‘I never thought I’d prepare with this level of zeal…’

I didn’t know that the statistics of past participants would be prepared. If you conclude that you will know the general outline here, you may feel sullen even though you have prepared at best. The next time you ask for it, you can prepare it roughly.

As if I was right, Aisha’s sly lips slightly raised.

“The [Snowball fight] Starts with a distance of about 25 cm between faces. You may not be able to get a sense of how 25cm is, but how far is it?”

After plump-down from her podium, Isha began to shove her face against her.

She held her face close enough that her own fluffy hair could be seen.

“Hmmm.”

Aisha, clearing her throat, climbed up the podium again.

“That distance is 25 cm, Theo. How was it? Are you very close?”

“I could see all of her downy hair.”

“······That, you don’t have to say anything like that. Anyway, you understand that it’s a very close distance, right? And if you look anywhere other than your eyes, you lose.”

“Yes, I understand.”

“And Theo, your eyes are sharp and scary, so it will be difficult for the other person to keep their gaze. The red eyes unique to the Balderk family also play a part.”

“Hmm. Is it?”

“Something. Is there any other woman besides Sienna who keeps eye contact with you for as long as I do?”

Sounds like a lot?

Just the ones that come to mind right away are PL, Amy, Woohee Jang, etc… If you think about it a little more, I think it will come to mind.

“It’s pretty. If I had some time to think about it, I think I could name 10 people.”

“I see. Anyway, I’m sure there will be very few cases like that in this [Snowball fight]. Even if there are, one or two throughout the competition? There won’t be anyone unless it’s someone who’s been seeing you for a long time.”

“Hmm, that’s right. Well understood Good work, Aisha.”

Since Aisha was moderately excited, I guess I should stop.

Aisha smiled contentedly.

“Yes, if you win this time, you have to treat yourself. Oh, and remember this. Starting from the finals, the rules are different from the preliminaries.”

“What is it?”

“In the preliminaries, you are not allowed to have any conversations with each other. Of course, even at this time, you have to fix your gaze only on the other person’s eyes.”

“Well, I see. Let me know.”

I nodded.

Come to think of it, it’s a tournament I can’t lose. The amplified [Twisted Nobility’s Dignity] Will pay for itself after a long time.

“Then, go apply right away. Isn’t the contest starting at 10 am?”

Looking at the clock, it was already 9:30.

Isha lifted her index finger and waved it from side to side at her, with a triumphant expression on her face.

“No, Theo. Details are important for perfect 1st place. Who knows why?”

Saying that, Eisha took out her makeup tools, magic hair dryer, and roll comb from her bag and sang her hum.

“Lulu~ What kind of hair should I do today~! I cut everything yesterday, so I’m going to eat half of it today.”

“Is the half-cut hair the hairstyle you’re wearing right now, Eisha?”

“Okay, Theo really sometimes looks like a man in his 30s, doesn’t he? How can a woman and a man have the same half-cut hair? Do you think my aesthetic sense is that bad?”

“······Do it yourself.”

“Yes, Theo, you just trust me.”

After finishing skin and hair styling in 10 minutes, Theo and Aisha moved to the [Snowball Fight Contest] Booth. The booth was also near the Engineering Faculty.

As they walked side by side, Theo said.

“By the way, where did Sienna go? I saw you today.”

“Well? We broke up right after leaving the training ground yesterday, so I haven’t heard anything from you.”

“Hmm, I see.”

Theo nodded softly.

‘The whimsical anime will suddenly pop out later.’

I can’t believe it, but I think I might have been soaked in memories of the past while watching Irene, who used the Sword Master’s swordsmanship yesterday.

Like that, Theo and Aisha chatted and walked until they arrived at the registration booth.

Said Theo.

“Then, I will apply and come.”

“Yes, come. But wow, I came out early for no reason. I never thought there would be so many applicants.”

As Aisha said, there was only one person at the booth at the [Snowball fight] Who applied for participation. Originally, the application for participation in this entertainment contest tends to be rushed right before the deadline.

Theo found the back of the head of a familiar woman wearing the uniform of the College of Bravery in front of the booth.

“Piel.”

“·······!”

Instead of answering, Piel’s back trembled when her name was called. She seemed startled.

She Theo, who had walked beside her, spoke to her further.

“Are you participating in the [Snowball fight] Too?”

“・・・・・・Uh.”

Piel answered while looking straight ahead of her.

“What’s going on? You look different than usual.”

“No.”

Piel answered briefly while still looking straight ahead.

‘The face is also a bit red… It’s definitely different from usual.’

Spinning his head quickly, Theo found a good reason.

‘······Is it because of embarrassing you in front of Sir Maximin during the previous academic seminar?

Well, that’s definitely something to be ashamed of. A father and daughter suffering from axe disease tried to take a hard line because they were trying to catch a nasty person in pairs.

“If it’s the past, let’s forget each other, Piel. It’s not like we’ll live without seeing each other.”

“·······.”

Piel didn’t answer. He didn’t even meet Theo’s eyes. He just looks straight ahead.

At that time, the booth staff said.

“Registration is complete, student Piel de Chalon. Since the tournament will start soon, I recommend you to wait on the preliminary stage.”

“Yes, thank you.”

With her head bowed, Piel immediately left with a sigh.

Theo watched his back for a while, then tilted his head and applied for participation in the [Snowball fight].

Contrary to the recommendation of the booth staff, Piel walked quickly toward a back alley far from the qualifying stage.

Kung─ Kung─!

Her heart was beating fast.

‘Why is he suddenly coming out of there!’

Because she met Theo in an unexpected place.

‘Ughhhhh, I really am an idiot. You could just say hello normally.’

After confirming that there was no one around her, Piel lowered her head and cupped her face with both of her hands. A warm feeling passed through the palms of her hands that touched her face.

Kung─ Kung─!

She wasn’t thinking about the return of her elevated heart rate.

She just walks at about the same speed, even if she lets it out for an hour, she has no change in her heart rate.

‘Judging from the fact that they greeted me first… I don’t think they hate me very much… But…’

I don’t know what kind of face to look at Theo.

This [Snowball fight] Was also for this reason.

Last week, her father even certified that “Theo is not the devil’s contractor.”

The probability of seeing Theo as a contractor of the devil is extremely low, and even if she thought that she was a contract holder of the devil, nothing would change.

She also said that “Demon Hunter”. The probability that he is the devil’s contractor is almost zero, and if the devil descends, the continent is over anyway.

This means that from the beginning, his own mind was the problem.

“Shii… Feet.”

Out of Piel’s mouth, vulgar words that were not befitting a lady of a high-ranking aristocratic family came out.

“·······What should I do?”

Her face, covered with her palms, was still a blush.
