Became a Third-Rate Villain in the Hero Academy

182 – Salty & Sweet (4)

The place where Theo arrived was the training ground of the Knights Faculty.

Kikiiik─

When I opened the door, Irene was wielding a sword. She had no one else besides her.

Theo looked at her with her somewhat surprised expression.

‘That’s amazing. Does he have to be that crazy about training to become the strongest in the human world in the future?’

Theo called her.

“Irene.”

“… Theo.”

Irene quickly walked up to Theo, then she looked up at him with a hard face.

“I heard rumors. He said he recruited Ade for the first time today. I heard you’re Miss Seria from the Faculty of Magic, is that right?”

“Yes. Rather than that, would you mind taking care of this child for a while?”

Theo looked down at the knuckles in his arms.

Irene’s eyes widened.

It was because the condition of her knuckles, which were gasping for breath, seemed unusual.

“…Uh, uhm, yes. But why?”

“Let her go and explain. It won’t take long. Within two hours at most.”

Irene looked up at Theo who spoke calmly. At first glance, it looks expressionless, but if you look closely, the eyebrows are slightly raised.

‘It’s an urgent situation.’

She can tell because she has carefully examined Theo’s face for a long time.

“Okay. Come on, Theo.”

“Yes, please.”

Kikiiik─

Right away, Theo left the training ground.

For a moment, Irene looked at the door he opened and went out.

“······Ugh. If you don’t tell me later, I’ll say something firmly.”

Irene wanted her to be his first aid. But she didn’t say anything, and she suddenly recruited another woman.

“There must be a reason. I’ll tell you about that when the time comes, I’m sure.”

Irene remembered her crimes he had committed before entering her academy.

Even now, she often has nightmares about that time.

It’s been quite a while, but as soon as she thinks about it, downy hairs stand up all over her body.

She shook her head from side to side in her dori-dori, then started swinging her sword again.

An empty lot near the Faculty of Engineering where many people and shops are gathered.

“Uh, Theo. Are you here really soon?”

From noble mtl dot com

Aisha welcomed Theo, who returned after about 5 minutes.

Even with the [Hast] Magic, Theo moved so quickly that his breath filled up to the bottom of his chin.

But with so many people, you can’t show signs of being tired.

Theo opened his mouth after raising the amplified [Twisted Nobility’s Dignity] To its maximum.

“Yes. I left her knuckles for a while.”

“Good job. By the way, did you decide not to hide the fact that you can use magic now?”

Isha looked at Theo with her meaningful eyes.

Theo said without changing his expression.

“It is a fact that everyone who already knows. There is no need to hide it.”

“It’s really interesting. Even at the beginning of the semester, Theo, your mana was definitely zero…”

“It was a chance obtained by chance.”

After Theo said that, he looked at Sienna, who had come next to her.

“Sienna. Did she make a new friend?”

“Oh, boy? Not new friends, we met again today. Her name is Shuk Shuk.”

Sienna pointed her finger beside herself.

There, even when Theo, who had low affinity for spirits, saw it, there was a vague shape with a clear presence.

“Yes.”

Shuksuk is a nickname Sienna calls a high-level wind spirit.

In this work, the trio of Ssingssingi, Ssingssangys, and Shyssings are spirits that are constantly with Siena.

‘As expected, it’s a high-level spirit.’

My guess was correct. I still don’t know what the cause is.

“It seems to be a fairly powerful spirit.”

“Whoa, it looks like we’ve spent decades together in Daesoorim. Shuksuk likes to wander around, so I couldn’t see him often, but—”

As she was speaking, Sienna remembered something she had forgotten for a while.

“By the way, Theo! Him! Where is Anne wearing that puppy skin? Singsing and She’s She must pay back the enemy! “

“I left it in a safe place for a while.”

“Mommy, Theo. Where is that! He must be a bit scolded. When do you attack the weak Ssingssingi and Ssangssangyi, and when the strong Ssingssingi appears and runs away? I’m not manly. You are cowardly.”

“·······.”

Theo looked at Sienna with her calm eyes.

‘Discussing masculinity even to dogs. The way the elves think is hard to understand.’

The elves in this work are particularly obsessed with masculinity.

If you’re bored, it reminds you of a scene where elven warriors were cutting each other in the name of sparring.

“It is an instinctive realm, Sienna”

“Instinctive?”

“Yes, it is innate from birth. Her knuckles were only after those who wanted to harm her master. And isn’t it the first thing to consider the causal relationship first? It wouldn’t have happened if Siena hadn’t attached a spirit to me.”

Sienna silently stared at Theo.

Theo didn’t avoid that gaze, but accepted it.

‘Dogs are scary. At this point, even a high-ranking spirit is under your command.’

Although unobtrusive, Theo was intimidated.

At this point, it is impossible for Neike to single-handedly block higher level spirits.

At that time, Isha intervened as she looked at her.

“Anyway, I don’t even have a fist right now, so I’ll make the deal next time~ Let’s go have dinner. I am starving to death.”

“I understand. Theo has a point. I’ll have a discussion with him next time.”

Sienna nodded her head disapprovingly.

Me, Amy, Aisha and Sienna arrived at the restaurant area.

We took a seat at an outdoor table in a mostly seafood store and ordered from the menu.

I looked at Sienna.

“Siena, how did you meet the friend Wan next to her?”

“Whoops. Theo, why? I wonder?”

Sienna had a natural face as usual.

I seriously wonder if she is bipolar.

Since I’m curious, I should hang out with you.

“Yes. Even to me, who has a low affinity for spirits, the spirits by your side don’t look normal. It doesn’t seem easy to get.”

“Whoops, yesterday you showed Theo and her fiancé the swordsman’s swordsmanship, didn’t you?”

“I did.”

“Did you want to swing your sword more that day? I went back and swung some more. So, I came here today. Is that right, shook?”

Sienna laughed at her blurry shape in the air.

Then, a vague figure in the air twitched.

······Crazy.

I can see the movement even to me. Are higher-level spirits different?

The Ssangsangi—a mid-level wind spirit—that came to me before was only a vague shape.

Hmm, by the way, other elemental magicians appear in addition to Sienna in this work.

There was also a spirit sorcerer who handled the spirit king.

Of course, the level of a spirit king is incomparable to that of a higher level spirit.

However, the spirit king he was dealing with could not even be seen in a blurry form.

“I know that it is possible to hide the presence of a spirit.”

“Yes. Of course it is possible. But Singssingi, Ssangssangi, and Shukssingi also like to reveal themselves. I don’t want to tell you to hide.”

After saying that, Sienna took a piece of her sushi with her bare hands and looked at me blankly.

She frowned.

“By the way, Theo. You smell bad.”

“To me? . . . Ugh.”

A tingling shock rises. [Distorted nobility’s dignity] Responded to her words of smell.

She has been able to freely use [Twisted Noble Dignity] To some extent, but the part about ‘smell’ is not controlled at all.

I said, enduring the pain.

“···I took a shower about an hour ago and it smells. I can’t believe it.”

“Theo, what do you see me as? You can fool other people’s noses, but you can’t fool mine.”

Then Sienna pressed her face into my body and twitched her nose.

“Sniff, sniff.”

“·······.”

“Sniff, sniff.”

“······You fought with a dog and then became a dog, Sienna.”

“Wait a minute, Theo. I’m sure I smelled it before…”

While eating sashimi rice bowl next to her, Isha rinsed her mouth with water and smelled me.

“Hmm? It doesn’t smell like anything. I have a good sense of smell…”

Aisha’s characteristic [Sharp Vision] Also slightly strengthens her sense of smell.

As if Sienna was laughing, she looked at Aisha.

“Huhu, how nice it would be to be human. I think I know what it smells like now, Theo.”

“Don’t try, Siena.”

Is that the grumpy kid? Using a dagger.”

“·······.”

That’s creepy. How are you not? Aisha didn’t know either.

Instead of admitting it, I shut her mouth.

Siena said.

“Huh, that’s right. Anyway, Theo. Don’t get close to that kid. An unpleasant smell vibrates.”

“What smell?”

I stared at Sienna.

Contrary to her usual appearance, she said with a serious expression on her face while looking at her clearly in my eyes.

“…The smell of blood. It’s also very dark. It’s the first time I’ve smelled such an unpleasant smell at the academy.”

I keep getting goosebumps. Even in this work, it is set that Sienna has a good sense of smell, but I never thought it would be this much.

In fact, right before entering the academy, Jang Woo-hee grew up in an environment full of bloodshed.

“Sienna, I will take your opinion into consideration. However, Jang Woo-hee is the person I need.”

“In what way? No way—”

Sienna looked at me with a surprised expression.

···What are you thinking?

“No way, what. Tell me right away, Siena.”

“Theo, did you like a kid like that? No, no. Is a kid like that good?”

“·······Do that.”

When I stared at her with tired eyes, Sienna didn’t open her mouth any more, and sometimes she said to herself, “Oh my God, I ─ too, people have different tastes.”

“Hell.”

“·······.”

Aisha and Amy put down their chopsticks and looked at me in surprise.
