Became a Third-Rate Villain in the Hero Academy

Two days later, Sunday.

“Oh.”

My body seems to be getting better.

I feel tired from yesterday’s training, but at this level, I can say that I am in full condition.

And… there was a big income.

The desperate persistence stat became 4.

Perhaps yesterday, when the aftereffects of the Overlord remained, training was decisive.

“Good.”

Perseverance 4 has now reached the level of the general public.

My strength and stamina are still 7, but I’m constantly training and paying attention to my nutrition, so it will increase soon.

If you collect Hidden Pieces and get one more useful trait, I think you will be able to graduate.

However, it seems difficult to graduate with excellent grades.

Although I defeated Ralph at No. 37, it was because my customized strategy was correct.

A lot of luck followed.

I have to reinvent myself without a break.

‘Let’s wash up and go straight to the training ground. The practical evaluation will start tomorrow, so don’t overdo it.’

So I thought while eating the high-protein, nutritious meal that Amy had made.

Oh, I have to visit Marie’s professor’s room once.

I was so busy that I kept forgetting.

In this work, Marie is a workaholic in the professor’s room at 8 in the morning.

I’ll have to go get it tomorrow morning.

There may be unexpected income.

The Brave School training center is closed on Sundays.

After taking a shower, I headed straight to the 3rd training ground.

‘First, after training in swordsmanship, it’s physical training.’

Arriving at the 3rd training ground, I immediately opened the door to the swordsmanship training ground.

Quick profit-.

Because it was a Sunday, there was only one person in the swordsmanship training ground.

someone you know well

Irene, with her long purple hair tied back, is wielding a wooden sword.

Whoo-woong, whoo-woong-

Irene seemed to be deeply focused and swung her wooden sword one after another, not paying attention to the sound of the door opening.

I caught her like that.

‘···Hmm.’

Also, Irene’s swordsmanship is excellent.

[The Observer’s Eye] is not only useful for learning new skills, it also helps you gain a deeper understanding of what you already know.

Now my eyes see details that I hadn’t been able to grasp with certainty before.

Foot width, wrist snap, shoulder movement.

A clear sword trace is visible.

Her swordsmanship is as elegant as her appearance, but without frills like an assassin.

I was appreciating her swordsmanship from afar,

“…Theo?”

Irene looked at me, wiping sweat with the back of her white hand.

* * *

Irene, who was wielding a wooden sword, turned to a familiar gaze.

…and there was Theo.

It’s been messing with her mind even more lately.

“…Theo?”

“Nice to meet you, Irene.”

But Theo’s attitude seemed so casual.

Irene was just grumpy.

“…is that the end of what you’re saying?”

“I missed you, Irene.”

Irene blushed.

‘Why are you suddenly coming in like this?’

I was going to say something more, but I forgot what to say.

Irene said, thinking that it was fortunate that her face was hot right after she swung the sword.

“···Well, I understand. I don’t know why such a person never came to visit…. By the way, did you decide to go back to the old days? there is?”

There were thorns in Irene’s voice.

No matter how popular it is among students these days, it was too much.

If you want to do well again, isn’t it possible to visit after school?

Theo replied calmly.

“I’ve been a little busy. I was doing something as important as sharpening my sword. Then I looked back at my body.”

On the contrary, Irene had nothing to say about that dignified attitude.

“Of course rest is just as important as training, I’m not sure. But what’s important?”

It was a question that could be considered rude, but Irene couldn’t overcome her curiosity.

Theo replied indifferently.

“I did club activities.”

“···Eh?”

Irene was ridiculous.

This is not to say that club activities are important.

She is well aware of the importance of clubs in the Faculty of Heroes.

Networking is as important as skill to a warrior.

There is nothing more than a club to build relationships with.

However, that also applies only to people who can get along with club members.

Theo, whom Irene knew, did not know how to harmonize and get along with others.

was not social.

In front of those who were superior to him, he was humiliated from behind, and those who were inferior were trampled openly.

He, who can be seen as a model of the aristocratic style of strength and weakness (強弱弱強), is a club activity.

‘I thought it had changed, but…’

it’ll work like that

But people change too quickly.

Bad thoughts sprung up in Irene’s head.

‘Is it possible that there is another woman?’

I remember what Mina said.

Men are creatures that cannot settle for one woman.

It’s my nature and I can’t help it.

That’s why you have to hold on to it so that you don’t even think about cheating.

‘What kind of bullyeosi is a man with a fiancee….’

Irene didn’t join the club, but she knows what’s going on.

After a meeting, Dorando is a place where all kinds of scandals happen, where people get together to eat something delicious, or even meet each other by eye contact!

“It’s a club activity… Why all of a sudden?”

Irene looked at Theo with a suspicious expression.

“It’s for reputation management.”

A quick answer.

However, Irene’s doubts were not erased.

“really?”

“okay.”

“Is it really… the purpose of reputation management?”

“okay.”

reply without delay.

Irene wondered if Theo was acting.

“Look straight into my eyes and talk, really?”

“·················ogue.”

Theo looked at her without a word.

Irene’s heart was pounding.

“Surely, a really different woman—”

“It really is. Irene, how could I lie to you?”

At that, Irene looked into Theo’s eyes.

The deep ruby-colored eyes were filled with boiling passion.

It seems like it’s unfortunate that you can’t trust the person you love.

Theo continued.

“I don’t lie to my people. I want you to believe me.”

At the same time, a strong momentum was felt.

Theo’s eyes were burning as he looked at him.

‘My, my man.’

It seems to come in too much today.

Feeling her face turn red again, Irene lowered her eyes.

I can’t look straight into my eyes.

too shy

“Oh okay. Mi, I believe. But…”

Irene continued.

“He, he… I like club activities, but I can only come to visit once in a while…”

Irene’s voice seemed to crawl somewhere.

Surprised that she could even say these words, Irene with a red face turned her gaze away from Theo.

“i get it. I was too careless.”

“······yes?”

“I just thought you hated me. So I thought you turned down the dinner offer last time. The person who flew all of a sudden got sick all of a sudden.”

Theo is talking about refusing to eat dinner after swordsmanship training last week.

I used to make excuses for being sick.

Irene immediately recalled her feelings at that time.

But then there was nothing I could do.

I’m afraid I’m too shy and confused to control my emotions.

Because of the burning emotion of a moment, I was afraid that I would regret it again.

“That, that.”

“Of course I know. That I’m the worst person in the world, and I don’t want to get close to him. But regretting the past is no use.”

“·················ogue.”

“So it’s going to be different. I want to be a better man.”

Theo then shook his head slightly.

‘I want to become a better man…’

Theo is a shy person.

Irene knows the words he left out.

Say ‘for you’.

After it had already burned, I felt my ash heart burn again.

“Oh okay. And I didn’t turn down the meal offer at that time because I didn’t like it.”

“Then what?”

Theo asks back with innocent eyes, as if he really doesn’t know.

‘······When you look at it like this, it is very mean.’

Of course, Irene is also not a person with the courage to speak her true feelings.

“Ah, anyway…! If you come to the training ground, you have to train! Hurry up, get rid of your body! There were some disappointing parts during the practical skill competition evaluation match. Well, of course it was cool, but…”

“i get it.”

Theo then immediately relaxed.

‘tooth······.’

I barely had the courage to praise him, but can I show him where I like him?

‘Of course it’s better now…’

If it had been before, I would have run wild without being able to contain my words of praise.

“I relaxed myself. Then bring a wooden sword.”

“yes.”

Irene saw Theo’s back as he walked towards the weapon rack.

His back was like the hero he had dreamed of as a child.

“·················ogue.”

Irene sorted out her emotions and acknowledged them.

He still hadn’t forgotten him.
