Became a Third-Rate Villain in the Hero Academy

Chapter 42

Characteristics can arise out of nowhere, but also as a result of steady training.

In both cases, the probability of this occurring is quite low.

Even within the Faculty of Heroes, where the best talents gather, it’s hard to say that it’s only 1 out of 50 people who get useful traits per year.

Aside from the traits that arise by chance, the traits you get as a result of steady training.

It is not clear how this is also obtained.

However, there are some plausible hypotheses.

It is said that it occurs with repeated mastery and attaining a certain level of enlightenment.

In the case of [Observer’s Eye], it was often obtained by those who constantly observe others, and in the case of [Sage’s Brain], it was mainly expressed in professors and graduate students of the lab, which supports this hypothesis.

Besides, having good qualities in ‘Kyrenzena Chronicles’ doesn’t necessarily mean being strong.

People with user-level traits often beat people with expert-level traits, and people with expert-grade traits often beat people with master-grade traits.

However, depending on the grade of the trait, it is possible to estimate the approximate strength and potential.

Not all students who go to the best universities in the world are smart, but they are likely to be.

The next day, Friday.

Instead of the Knights Faculty, I headed to the Hero Division.

I saw the skills of the students in the practical evaluation, and I already knew everything about the theory lectures.

Of course, if you go today, you can see more diverse technologies, but compared to yesterday, the efficiency will be much lower.

It seems better to quickly make the skills I saw yesterday into my own.

‘Today, we should visit Marie’s professor’s office.’

Marie’s ongoing research is difficult to complete on her own.

There is a very high probability that you will be in desperate need of my help.

After that meeting, the love affair must have burned quite a bit.

The timing is right.

Immediately after arriving at the simulation training ground, we set up the simulation warfare.

Of course, I didn’t use Overlord, but yesterday I was pretty far behind against a magic doll based on Julia.

Today’s goal is to go half and half.

It’s been quite some time since the mock war.

Perhaps it was because he was deeply immersed, he could hardly feel the passage of time.

I looked at the magic doll standing in front of me and said, ‘Whoa.’ sighed.

My whole body was wet with sweat.

But I don’t feel bad.

It is always a pleasure to engage in productive activity.

“Whoa.”

Fortunately, after fighting the same opponent several times, I get a sense of how to deal with it.

‘Of course, if it was a real Julia, not a magic doll, it would have been extended earlier.’

He was resting for a while, wiping his sweat with the towel he brought.

[You have acquired a new talent.]

···Five.

Finally, the results of training are coming.

* * *

It’s always exciting to get a new trait.

When playing “Kyrenzena Chronicles”, the character you play – Neike – sometimes acquires new characteristics.

Of course, I didn’t get any useful properties.

From the beginning, Neike was a character like the main character, wearing both master-class characteristics.

To the extent that the [Merchant’s Eye] obtained while appraising various items on the Merchant Route was the most useful characteristic.

The attribute I have now acquired is [Sword Beginner].

This attribute, which costs 5 gold coins by the shopping mall, is the lowest among the attributes for swords.

But the important thing is that it is acquired.

And in order to acquire this trait, it is important that what I have cultivated so far does not disappear and still remains in the body.

It is absolutely advantageous over having no even the lowest trait.

If you train steadily, you can even transform this sword beginner into higher-level traits—sword user, sword expert, and sword master.

For example, Irene’s current [Sword Expert] trait changes to [Sword Master] as the story progresses.

‘Anyway, it’s a big boon.’

Compared to the fact that Theo wasn’t expecting much because he’s such an asshole, it’s a very big harvest.

If it’s like this, maybe it can rub the collars of Neike and Piel…?

profit-

I came out of the training ground with joy.

“Uhhhh-.”

The dungeon outside the simulation training ground. Above the amphitheater was Piel.

With her eyes closed, she was slowly moving her sword for sparring.

‘What kind of training method is that.’

You fight with your inner self, right?

Well, am I in a position to worry?

everyone will have an idea

‘I have to do physical training.’

With that in mind, I walk towards the entrance to the dungeon.

“···hey.”

Phil’s voice comes from behind him.

“why.”

“busy?”

“no.”

“Let’s stick together.”

Philip has been asking me for a match.

‘He’s become a real Dalian warrior.’

The scars of the heart that were brutally beaten still remain.

Why can’t you catch me like this?

of course.

I am different now.

“okay.”

This is a good opportunity to test out the newly acquired trait [Sword Beginner].

Besides, I’ve seen Irene play against a Sienna-based magic doll yesterday.

Irene’s main weapon is a long sword, and Siena’s main weapon is a long sword.

My main weapon is a long sword, and Phil’s main weapon is a three sword.

The situation is just right.

‘There is even a special characteristic. I’ll brush the collar.’

I stood in front of Piel with a long sword for fighting.

Phil’s eyes meet.

She was smiling slightly.

‘Ugh, that psycho.’

Gosu is said to be able to understand the psychology of others just by looking at them.

Those eyes are a clear signal that you should come in first.

‘Unconditionally one room is fed.’

Ride-!

I ran straight to her.

F*ck off.

Again no answer

Just like Monday, I became Ottogi.

He got up nine times, and he continued to run, but he still couldn’t get past Piel’s collar.

How can you evolve like that in such a short period of time?

Have you been to the Psychiatric and Time Room?

“Whoa.”

Lying on the floor, I let out a long sigh.

I don’t even have the motivation to do more dumbbells.

Still, the existence of Philip was like Mount Tai to me.

‘But… I also made progress.’

On Monday, I never once went over 3, but today I went up to 4 without using an overload.

She also captured the skills she had seen for the first time.

If that’s the case, it’s a good enough business.

“···Hey you.”

Phil looked down at me and said.

“···why.”

“Wednesday, during the magical dungeon incident… that you were the captain.”

“It was.”

After a day, the rumors spread.

I feel sharply improved.

I hear the sound of reputation rising, I hear it.

“…how did you do it?”

“Whatever. I just thought that someone had to lead the group because it was an emergency. I was the only one suitable among them.”

“···Unlucky. Get up again. Have you rested enough for this?”

Phil pointed his three swords at me.

“·················ogue.”

Is that Dalian Muscat really crazy?

It seems like I’m going to collapse, as I continued my simulation training to Dalian.

I mean, I’m not a monster like you guys—Nike, Phil.

“I’m not even here for today. I have another schedule.”

Saying that, he got up and shook his head.

Phil narrowed his eyes.

“…what’s going on?”

“privacy.”

After saying those words, I walked towards the entrance to the training ground.

‘I must have relieved my stress, so I would suddenly run behind…’

Fiel’s suspicious gaze still followed, but I tried to ignore it and left the training ground.

* * *

11 am current time.

It’s an awkward time to eat.

That said, it’s the perfect timing.

After leaving the training ground, I went straight to Marie’s professor’s office.

smart.

Knock on the classroom door.

When I hear a voice telling me to come in, I open the door and go in.

Just like the last time I came, I see Marie buried in a pile of books.

She smiled and greeted me.

“Welcome, student Theo. No, Theo Lin Walderk.”

But today it looks very different.

Marie was not dressed in her usual shabby clothes, but in a state of full decoration.

A white shirt and a clinging skirt that clearly reveal the voluptuous body line.

And on the legs full of health that could be seen under the skirt, coffee-colored stockings were worn, and her face had a t-shirt with elaborate makeup.

‘It’s the same as the outfit I wore when I commented on the evaluation of the practical competition.’

Maybe that’s Marie’s battle suit.

Where are you going to see the line?

Anyway, the fact that Marie called me by my real name instead of a student…

“Nice to meet you, Marie Jane.”

I’m guessing we’re talking on an equal footing, not between students and professors, but person-to-person.

Again, she’s a pretty hairy woman.

“Yeah, sit wherever you feel comfortable.”

After sitting on the sofa, I said.

“Has there been any progress in the research?”

“There has been some progress, but not much progress in the broader context. Huh, let’s have a cup of tea and talk. What kind of tea would you like?”

Marie got up from her seat and walked to the place where magic tools such as induction were found.
