Became a Third-Rate Villain in the Hero Academy

230 – Perfume (4)

After a brief greeting in the cafe,

The five of us decided to have dinner.

Dinner is at a Western restaurant near the Faculty of Bravery.

Rather than taste, I ordered Amy to make a reservation because it has a private room.

After a while, the dishes were served, and everyone started eating.

Dalgrak, Dalgrak──

Crack, crack.

Everyone just eats in silence.

Only the sound of eating utensils and eating dishes resonates.

Since it is a private room isolated from other guests, the quiet silence has doubled.

‘I haven’t said anything since a while ago.’

Apart from Alps and Irene, Seria and Alice are not taciturn. But from the cafe, like a mute who ate honey, he’s trying to shut his mouth.

Judging from the intermittent glimpses of the Alps, it seems that there was something there——

──I decided to leave it alone.

If you want to find out what happened, you can easily figure it out, but seeing the expression on Alps’ face, I don’t think there’s any need to intervene.

She’s not good at hiding her true feelings. If she is feeling any strong emotion, it will immediately show on her face.

Right now, she’s a bit uneasy.

It’s rather not good to cover up too much.

A moderate level of stress that she can endure will help her train her mentality.

·············Anyway, ‘mental training’ comes to mind.

“Alps, you don’t wear the artifact you gave me.”

“Actually… I only wore it for a short time on the first day I gave it to you, and after that I didn’t wear it and just carried it around. Wearing it makes me feel like I’m not me… I’m sorry.”

Alps said hesitantly.

I felt like I wasn’t myself.

I think it’s because of the enhancement of mental power, one of the set effects of [Renimid’s Mercy].

From the point of view of Alps, who has a weak mentality, of course, I thought she would wear it every day, but from her point of view, it must have been a drastic change.

But you have to adapt.

In the middle of a confrontation with the enemy, isn’t it like saying “Wait a minute~” And not being able to wear it?

“Because it is an item of the [Cult of Light], It will benefit your body in the long run. Be sure to wear it except when washing and sleeping.”

“Yes, yes… I understand, Theo.”

Alps nodded her head in succession.

After that.

Dalgrak, Dalgrak──

Crack, crack.

The car was about to settle down again in the private room.

“This is Theo. Is the perfume you wore today… Lillien Pour Homme?”

Alice opened her mouth.

I nodded.

“Yes. As before, you are very knowledgeable about perfume.”

“Ah, I am very interested. I’ll try to guess next time… Oh?”

Alice chuckled.

I could see that he was trying hard to raise the quiet atmosphere.

I told her with a light smile.

“It won’t be easy. There are more than 10 types of perfume I use.”

“You can look forward to it. After all, I am a self-proclaimed expert on perfume in my own way.”

Alice also smiled lightly at me.

Perhaps thanks to Alice’s sacrifice, the children began to open her mouth.

Of course, Seria’s expression was always awkward.

* * *

Dinner is over.

Theo team decided to check each other’s main abilities.

Under Theo’s judgment, only when they know each other’s abilities can their team chemistry improve and they can come up with ways to use their abilities that they didn’t know about.

On the way to the training ground for the Faculty of Bravery, Irene said.

“Theo. Isn’t it possible for 4 accompanying people to enter from the second year?”

“I got permission in advance.”

Theo continued, showing Marie the permit she had obtained.

“And sooner or later it will be possible to enter with four accompanying people without a permit. They said it would be announced within the next week.”

“Oh? How did you know.”

“Professor Marie said so.”

“Well, I see.”

Irene nodded her head insignificantly, but Alice and Alps were surprised.

What Theo said was that she had heard insider information from her professor beforehand.

It took about 5 minutes to walk like that.

Team Theo has arrived at the training ground of the Faculty of Bravery.

Kikiiik──

Opening the door and entering, there were many familiar faces.

They were Neike, Piel, Jang Woo-hee, Noktar and Orcs, Shagrod and Lizardmen.

Famous students huddled together in the academy.

Alice and Alps’ eyes widened as they spoke to Theo in a friendly way.

After accepting the children’s greetings, Theo talked to Noktar, who had just finished sparring.

“Hey Noctar.”

“Welcome Theo.”

Noctar looked in Theo’s direction and strode closer. What was he thinking, he had his molars quivering softly.

“Oh, there are so many faces I haven’t seen before. Did you date other girlfriends in that time?”

“It’s Ade. And she never had a girlfriend.”

Theo protested Noctar’s words with a serious face.

Like it or not, Noctar’s fangs were quivering rapidly.

“Really? Guys, what do you think about Theo?”

He shrugged and said to the other orcs.

“Oooh~ I said to make a team, so I made a harem!”

“Can I live with this sadness? Woo woo~”

“Abandon us?! Throw us away?!”

“Theo is individualistic.”

The Orcs poured out a fierce reaction.

Except for Seria, the faces of Theo’s teammates turned red. They put their heads on the ground and couldn’t lift them.

Theo let out a low sigh and glared at the orcs.

“Shut up, you orcs.”

“Uh woo~ woo woo~”

“······It’s nothing else, I came here because I have something to ask of you.”

Noctar tilted his head.

“What request? Dating advice is always welcome.”

“・・・・・・It’s not like that, can you sparr with my aides?”

Orcs don’t show mercy, even in sparring.

Theo is wary.

What’s the use of being good at practice? There are countless cases where kids who did well during practice end up dying during actual combat.

Noctar nodded her head.

“Of course. Raise your hand who will fight Theo’s girlfriends.”

All the orcs raised their hands.

“I’ll take Theo’s fiancée! It’s been marked since the martial arts competition.”

“Then I will be the wizard! Even if you are Theo’s girlfriend, the wizard won’t let you go!”

“Shut up, the wizard, I’ve been dotting before!”

Orcs even had a heated argument to decide who to fight with.

They listened to Noctar’s words to settle amicably with rock-paper-scissors, and only then decided the order.

Noctar spoke to Theo.

“The order has been set. Are you going to do it right here?”

“Do that. It’s small, but it’s like a stadium.”

There are so many students at the training ground right now that they might move, but Theo didn’t.

Theo is wary.

It was unacceptable that he could not demonstrate his true abilities just because there were many people watching.

‘It won’t be easy.’

He briefly taught the orcs how to breathe.

Of course, Orcs are not as good at learning, so they won’t be able to use them as quickly as humans, but they must be stronger than before.

Realizing that there was something to see, the students stopped the training they were doing and naturally moved to the stands.

Thus, the confrontation between Theo’s team and the Orc team from the Department of Bravery began.

* * *

‘Hmm, this is pretty good.’

Irene, Alice, Alps.

This is my impression after watching the couples above.

Only Irene was victorious, but Alice and Alps also fought hard.

‘It’s great after only two days of dealing with it. If it had been a real fight, I could have won.’

No matter how warlike he was, he couldn’t use an artifact bow and sharpened arrows for sparring.

So Alice used a practice bow similar to [Sharp Shooting].

Of course she lost, but she could have won if it had been a real fight.

In the arena where the initial position is revealed, the warrior is also the archer’s natural enemy.

Alps Well, I didn’t expect much in the first place.

When many people were watching, it was satisfactory even if only part of the 2nd Miracle of Renimid could be used.

─Uh, uh uh uh. ······Done! Uh, is this going to happen?

However, she succeeded in using Renimid’s third miracle. It was part of it, though.

Of course, it was thanks to the set effect of [Renimid’s Mercy], But considering that at this point, the miracle of Renimid, which the first year students belonging to the [Church of Light] Can show to the maximum, is part of the third, It was a development.

She must have been steadily practicing the swordsmanship and shield skills I taught her, even though it was only for a moment, she was able to block the onslaught of the elite orcs of the College of Bravery.

With abrasions here and there, I tapped Alps on the shoulder as she descended from the arena.

“You worked hard, Alps. You worked hard all this time.”

“Thank you. Theo.”

“Drink it.”

I took a potion from the [Subspace Bag] And gave it to Alps.

Then he immediately set his eyes on the stadium.

It was Seria’s turn for the last sparring.

“Huh.”

Seria climbed on top of the arena lightly with a face that was not nervous at all.

“Can everyone please watch over me? I’m going to try the magic I’m working hard on these days.”

She said that and looked at the other Aids.

The reason why her eyes look sinister is because of her mood, right?
