Became a Third-Rate Villain in the Hero Academy

227 – Perfume (1)

Finished Alice’s interview.

In order to train right away, I boarded the circulatory carriage headed for the College of Bravery.

As I expected, Alice was a passionate person.

─So as not to be buried by Miss Seria or Miss Irene… I’ll do my best to make it possible even for one person!

Like a free rider in a university group assignment, he was a person thirsty for self-proving, not wanting to be buried by a small number of outstanding team members.

Continuous improvement.

That’s the way I like it.

Somewhere to work hard. I especially liked the phrase ‘even for one person’.

In the past, I hated the word ‘work hard’.

─I worked hard, but what should I do when I can only do this!

This is because it sounded like an excuse for a loser who failed to reap the desired results.

But after being possessed by Theo, she received the help of her prior knowledge, but maybe her way of thinking changed after being recognized by the talented people.

Now, I think that working ‘hard’ is worthwhile in itself.

Now I can agree with the saying that the result is important, but the process is just as important.

Of course, when I see talented people achieve the results I achieved after 10 hours of hard work in 1 hour, I feel a sense of desolation and inferiority.

But I don’t think that can be a reason not to try. If you give up, it’s over at that moment.

─Thank you! I’ll try my best over the weekend!

Anyway, since I gave the bow artifact to Alice, we will know sooner or later whether it is a girl with a mouth full of passion who shouts ‘work hard’ only with her mouth.

Her please, that she worked hard, I hope she doesn’t justify herself.

[This stop is in front of the Faculty of Bravery. Let me remind you once again, this stop is in front of the College of Warlords. When getting off, please take care of your belongings and get off.]

So, while organizing the mixed thoughts in her head and running the battle simulation several times, she arrived at her destination.

“……After.”

Maybe it’s because it’s a holiday, but I don’t like training today.

But the upper water must be clear, so the lower water is clear.

Since I spit out to Alice, ‘I will watch,’ I have to do well first.

I headed straight to the training ground.

Inside the [Ford Company], Inside the command and control room.

“Phew woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo hoo.”

Thomas, who drove away the natural disaster of the chairman, took a long, deep breath.

─What? No Audius? Do you really want to get mad?! Where are you hiding it! Then where did you get the [Mass Teleport] Scroll?

─Ah, is that so? That’s where I got it… I’ll get it right now. But you know? If it’s a lie, you should be prepared.

“······The research I have been doing has saved my life.”

Thomas is a scientist.

He is proficient in most fields of science, but the field in which he stands out in particular is ‘human body science’.

Human body science naturally deals with the mental as well as the physical.

So, thanks to Thomas’ deep understanding of the culture and way of thinking of various heterogeneous races on the Kairenzena continent, including orcs, lizardmen, elves, fairies, various beasts, and giants, besides humans, he had a relatively easy relationship with the fairies. That I could have a conversation with.

One of the great characteristics of fairies is that when they get stuck in something, they get buried in it.

Thomas knew that, of course, and he made good use of it.

Luck followed. The chairman was not very interested in the armed invasion of his academy. He didn’t even ask why he broke in.

“Hmm… ….”

Thomas looked at the seat where the chairman had been sitting a moment ago.

A madman with those clear eyes.

No. The crazy fairy must have left immediately for the place she told me…

“Hey, you sure went, right?”

Then, Oswald sneaked up to him and started talking to him.

Thomas told him to hide away, in case the chairman would recognize Oswald.

Thomas nodded.

“Yes. I didn’t know if I left the surveillance magic behind, so I checked, but there’s nothing like that. The only thing that mattered to her was that she was the location of the maker of the [Mass teleport] Scroll.”

“Whew, that’s good. No, how did she know to come here? She only said she was from a northern magic city. Except for the adjutant, the kids I took with me were the first outsiders.”

“Then, I don’t think they used spirits. They are still mysteries.”

“Ehyo, real young spirits… They don’t work at all with physical attacks, and they don’t work with gentle magic, so it’s f*cking annoying. Those despicable bastards, we have to get rid of them as soon as possible.”

Oswald remembered the time when he was brutally beaten by a spirit in the past.

Several years ago, Oswald had led her company near the Great Grove to capture young Wood Elves, male and female, on My Tree’s orders.

The work went smoothly.

Less than 24 hours after leaving the headquarters, they succeeded in capturing a pair of young male and female Wood Elves.

Moreover, since they were captured not near the Great Forest, but far away, there was little risk of being pursued.

When Oswald was about to return to headquarters, humming Lululala.

At some point, a group of wind spirits appeared and attacked Oswald’s troops.

It was the first time he had encountered a spirit, but Oswald’s troops, who were elite, responded immediately.

However, the physical attacks of all members, including Oswald, were not eaten by the wind spirit.

The magic worked, but the attack magic below the 3rd circle had almost no effect.

In particular, the advanced wind spirit, which was clearly visible to his own eyes, was more intelligent than he thought.

As soon as the magic attack came in, the wizards in his unit were wiped out.

In the end, Oswald had no choice but to let go of the pair of young wood elves he had captured and retreat with tears in his eyes.

Oswald still shudders when he thinks of that time, as he has lost most of his men, and it was the first mission failure he experienced in his life.

Oswald, frowning, said to Thomas.

“Hey, but where did you get the [Mass Teleport] Scroll you gave me?”

“I got it from the underworld of Polaris.”

“······Really, it must be a relationship with that silver-haired bastard.”

A city located in the northern part of the continent, but belonging to the Imperial Territory with a temperate climate.

Polaris, a developed city that makes you think at a cursory glance that it “Looks like a really nice place to live,” Is a city that belongs to the domain of the Balderc family.

In other words, the lord of Polaris is Robert Lin Balderk, the current head of the Balderk family.

“Since I’ve been there, I’d like you to give me a piece of sh*t.”

“······Just in case, don’t ever say that in front of Maitri-sama.”

Thomas looked at Oswald with a serious face.

“Why? Polaris, that’s the silver-haired bastard’s family estate.”

“······ There is information that Robert Lynn Balderck is having positive talks with his superiors.”

The ‘upper’ that Thomas said refers to the headquarters of [Turning White].

Of course Oswald knew what that meant. He widened his eyes.

“What, reliable information?”

“It is the words of a person in charge of the headquarters who has been paying for it for a long time, so it is highly reliable.”

“f*ck you! Then what should I do! I’m not going to tell you not to kill that silver-haired bastard!”

Oswald, his face reddened, sighed.

Thomas looked at him calmly.

‘Oswald is still what I need.’

He has the same strength as Oswald, but it is rare to find a talented person who doesn’t roll around and rams head first.

After organizing his thoughts like that, Thomas said.

“It hasn’t been decided yet, so please wait. As Oswald-sama knows, the superiors are quite capricious, aren’t they? We will let you know as more information comes in.”

Two days later, Monday.

The classroom in Class A of the Faculty of Exploration was noisy from morning.

“Hey, did you apply for Andrew?”

“I don’t know. We met, but it wasn’t because we met one-on-one. Was it Sally…? He only smiled when he looked at the girl from the engineering department, and he was serious about the other kids.”

“Ahhhhh, I have to stick, but I don’t want to keep the lecture room.”

“Who applied?”

“Theo, Max, Neike. I use bows, so I only put them on guys who engage in close combat, but will they stick?”

“······Oh my God. How come all the kids who applied for me are the same?”

“Who was the most competitive? No matter how much Theo carries Irene and Seria, it must still be Neike or Piel, right?”

“Rather, I think the competition rate for all three was low. He’s the most energetic kid at the head of the Department of Bravery and the second seat. If you’re picky, you have to stay in the classroom for the rest of the semester, but isn’t it too dangerous to apply?”

While the students were immersed in chatter, the professor entered the classroom.

“It’s nice to be lively. Did everyone have a good weekend?”

The professor’s true identity was Henderson, with a long mustache and a tailored suit.

─Yes, professor~

Henderson, a wonderful middle-aged model who treats even young students as a person, is the most popular professor in the Exploration Department.

All the students answered lively.

Henderson nodded.

“You are probably most curious about the results of the Aid application. I’ll let you know right away. Assistant, come in.”

At Henderson’s words, a teaching assistant, also dressed in a tailored suit, began to enter the classroom carrying a large scroll.

While the teaching assistant came in, Henderson smiled contentedly at Alice, who met his eyes.
