Became a Third-Rate Villain in the Hero Academy

The eyes of the team members turned to the tips of my fingers.

They had strange eyes.

“Oh, Theo. Do you know anything?”

“Hey, Travis. What are you talking about? You haven’t lost anything from hearing Theo so far? Only good things have happened. We just have to do what we have to do and trust Theo.”

Travis and Monica quarreled.

‘I’ve felt it for a long time, but the porridge fits so well.’

I don’t know if that’s the case with the eyes.

I nodded quietly and said.

“Yeah. There is no food left anyway, and there is no way to obtain additional means right now. We know the characteristics of the dungeon we are in to some extent.”

“…is that also what you saw in the ancient archives of the Walderk family?”

Now, Phil looked at me with a calm, not sad look.

“·······Yes. Andrew, do you agree?”

“Of course, I’m just following along.”

Andrew replied indifferently.

‘The last thing left is Phil.’

I said, looking only at Phil.

“Piel, do you agree?”

“······Okay, I get it.”

Fiel, who paused for a moment, answered.

“Then I think we all agreed. Let’s go inside.”

With those words, I took a step towards the inward point pointed with my finger.

“Yeah! Okay, Theo.”

“Let’s go, let’s go. I wish we could get something to eat. ······· Will come?”

Immediately Travis and Monica followed me—

“············”.

“············”.

Andrew and Phil followed me silently.

Our team arrived where I was guided.

“Wow, have all these places been there?”

“Yeah! It’s canned food in the dungeon… It’s really out of the way. Who put these things? I can’t see any traces of who came first… It’s strange.”

Travis and Monica widened their eyes, looking at the canned food on the altar in front of them.

Reminds me of the old days…

When I first saw the canned food that came out of nowhere in this work, I was stunned.

It wasn’t my idea, so the users of this work complained to the game company, saying what kind of canned food in the dungeon.

However, the answer given by the game company was plain.

─The hot pack also appears in this work, but isn’t it natural to have canned food? Our 「Kyrenzena Chronicles」 contains various new elements that you have never experienced in other games.

After a while, users said, ‘Ah, the best developer of this game … was a hipster.’ and understood. In the beginning, it was a game that featured foods such as pork cutlet and pork belly.

And, something that game companies have proven, canned food appeared before hot packs in modern history.

·······Well, that is my opinion as a modern person.

The team members who are the characters in the game probably have a different opinion.

While immersed in such a thought, Andrew, who was speechless and arrogant, opened his eyes wide and said:

“······Canned food in the dungeon.

“············”.

On the other hand, Philip still stares at me calmly, with his mouth shut.

…why are you looking at me with those eyes, it’s embarrassing.

what’s on my face I don’t think it’s because my face looks good.

In this work, Philip hardly looks at his appearance when judging others.

Anyway, Theo’s feelings are about to rise again.

I quickly removed my gaze from her, then pointed at the canned food.

“Let’s get those things first.”

“Okay, Theo!”

“Yeah~”

Travis and Monica rushed out and grabbed the cans.

The types are also different. Not only tuna, but also beans and smoked salmon were also available.

With that amount, it would be enough for five people to survive for the next three days.

Besides, it comes out automatically in proportion to the number of people, so other teams will be able to take it too.

·············· New to this feeling, but this world from which I fell is very realistic and confusing, like a game.

Travis looked at me and said.

“I got it all, Theo!”

“You’ve worked hard, Travis. So let’s go further inside.”

I took the lead again and entered the dungeon.

The food problem must have been resolved… If we keep going like this, we will be able to finish the exploration of this dungeon this afternoon.

This dungeon is an easy dungeon that can be cleared in one day if you are properly prepared and make no mistakes.

It wasn’t a very long walk.

“Um, is that… a stone door?”

“I know. I can’t see any other way. I guess I have to go through that door to get in further.”

You can see a large stone gate 5m high and 3m wide in front of you. And a stone tower the size of an adult man standing in front of it.

This is the third turning point.

“············”.

I looked up at the stone gate calmly.

The other team members also looked up at the stone gate from behind me.

Philip, who was behind him, murmured.

“······There is something gloomy.”

“Yeah. It looks like there’s magic on the abnormal status again.”

Andrew nodded his head.

Andrew’s reasoning was correct. As with other junctions, if you try to enter that stone gate, you will be enchanted with status abnormalities.

But you can’t open the stone door right away.

You have to touch the stone pagoda to open the stone door.

And as soon as the stone tower is touched, a wide-area abnormality magic is cast in a narrow area.

‘easy.’

Likewise, after I go in alone and get the status ailment magic, I just need to take the [Status Abnormality Removal Potion] and that’s it.

The magic of the status ailment applied here is quite powerful, but I also have [Neutral Magic], my trump card.

I turned to my teammates and said,

“Everyone, please wait where you stand. Let’s go in first.”

Saying that, I walked towards the stone pagoda—

[In a short time, more than a certain number of people entered the dungeon.]

[The difficulty of the dungeon increases.]

At the same time as the system window floats in front of you, the dungeon fluctuates wildly.

“······································································!

my eyes widen

It is a situation that I have never experienced even as I have read all the contents of this work.

As if the dungeon had an earthquake, it shook violently.

“What’s going on, this? Go, why are you doing this all of a sudden?”

“Wow, isn’t it collapsing?”

As if I wasn’t the only one feeling it, Travis and Monica said anxiously.

‘·······Someone outside is trying to bury us.’

I quickly began to grasp the situation.

And I concluded ‘no’.

At the moment, there is only one place to do such a daring thing, ‘Turning White’.

However, the headquarters of ‘Turning White’ still do not know that the groups dispatched to the academy are being disposed of. And it’s difficult to do this, since the group must have been almost completely dealt with by Locke and the instructors.

I don’t think HQ has reached out to unidentified dungeons yet.

‘What the hell is going on…’

I stood still and fell into deep trouble.

······After a while.

“ah.”

I suddenly remembered the patch notes for this work that I had read just before possessing Theo’s body.

[···I think there must have been many users who were surprised by this large-scale patch. This patch, we dare to call it a ‘new challenge’. In a nutshell, this patch is an online test version of “Kyrenzena Chronicles”. It’s the first step towards an online game that goes beyond single-player games. A new story with a shop system and various twists is also part of this test. In addition to that, there will be several other changes from before.]

A patch where the intention of the game company was explicit, wanting to go from the dark, which was aimed only at the fanatics, to the bright.

As a deceased person who has mastered all the trivial contents of this work, such as chess and soccer, I was happy with the new entertainment, but it will continue like this.

I tried to quickly grasp the current situation.

Since the difficulty of the dungeon has increased, the power of the magic over the status to be cast at the fork must have risen as well.

········ Eventually, when the dungeon’s shaking stopped.

I turned my back and looked at the team members clearly.

“… the fact that we have to go ahead has not changed.”

decided.

let’s go in

You can’t delay time any further.

You have to be compelled to stick to a plan you’ve made in advance.

I have to go find the divine beast after seeing the end of this dungeon within today and receiving the clear reward.

Whatever the reason, the future had changed immediately.

But I was determined to survive. I will do my best in any situation.

Even before the future of this work changed, there was a high possibility of failure… but that is not a reason why I will not struggle to survive.

All I can do now is do my best to overcome this ordeal.

I don’t want to lie down and wait for death to come.

Even if the moment of death comes, I will die with my head held firmly.
