Became a Third-Rate Villain in the Hero Academy

I quickly re-strategized.

‘Hmm, then what?’

In this magical underground dungeon, all 200 first-year students from the Braves Faculty have entered.

Because of that, all the other students, like my teammates, must be under magic—blind—with their vision narrowing.

Most of them are in a similar situation.

However, it is not good to go up to B1 in this state.

My goal is to get the treasure [Magic Cartridge] and get first place at the same time.

1st place must encounter a Guardian sleeping in the passageway to the ground.

It is impossible to face the Guardian while being blinded.

Somehow, you have to permanently release the blinds from the state.

‘The remaining number of [Neutral Magic] uses is 5 times.’

It is foolish to write [Neutralize Magic] to each of the four members of the team now—Aisha, Ralph, Noctar, and Travis.

Because I too will get caught in the ‘blind’ again soon.

This wide range of magic obviously has a base that provides a constant supply of mana.

You must find and destroy the magical base as quickly as possible to cut off the mana supply.

I’m organizing my thoughts so fast,

“Theo, what’s going on?”

The team members who heard me gathered around me.

“My goal is to make our team number one.”

I said straight to the point.

In such a situation, it is effective to remove all the rhetoric and talk from the main point.

“···I like that posture. But how? You look blurry right in front of you right now.

“I’m better, but I still can’t see well. I can only see up to 3m at the longest.”

Ralph and Aisha said.

“Is there a way? To be honest, I can’t think of any other way. I can’t see the other teams, so I guess I’ll just have to trust Aisha, who has good eyes, and go up step by step.”

Travis was also pessimistic.

I looked at them with calm eyes.

“There is a sure way. I will take responsibility and make our team number one. Instead, there are things I need to promise you before that.”

“············”.

My teammates looked at where my voice came from.

Only Aisha is looking straight at my face, and the other team members are looking only in the direction of my voice.

I’m not in good shape.

However, this will be true for other teams as well.

At least Jang Woo-hee’s team with [Neutralize Magic] will be in good shape.

“Trust me completely. Don’t refute it. If that’s the case, I’ll definitely promise you the first place. Nike, Philip? You don’t need them all. I’ll make them reach the ground before their team.”

Noctar will surely trust me.

Travis saw my skills the other day. Of course, Aisha would agree.

All that’s left is Ralph.

“·················ogue.”

Ralph was speechless.

I just stare blankly in the direction my voice is coming from.

Aisha broke the silence.

“Mi, I believe. Theo.”

She looked at me and added:

“I’m still ranked 6th, but when I’m in a situation like this, I’m just a burden. I don’t have the confidence like you. But I’ll do my best…”

“Theo, I’ll follow only you. Aisha is in that condition, but I don’t know how much help I can…”

Travis said.

Noctar is just smirking.

“What is it, Noctar?”

“I wanted to tell you to trust me so poorly. Please take care of me, Captain. Hey, Ralph. Let’s go. If you are a true warrior, you should aim for first place.”

“···Okay.”

Ralph nodded.

················ Well, for now, it seems that traffic management is a bit messed up.

“Then I’ll take over as the interim captain. I’ll ask you one thing. Don’t ever question what I do or what happens.

let’s go

1st is mine.

‘Fortunately, the structure of the underground dungeon we saw in this work is exactly the same.’

If so, where is the base that continuously supplies mana to this wide-ranging abnormality magic?

I quickly rotated my head and looked around with the enhanced [observer’s eye].

Eventually, a conclusion was drawn.

‘It is the secret room in the center.’

In this work, there was a box with gold coins in the back room.

This is a room that cannot be entered by normal means.

In that space, it would be a good place to store a large manastone that would sustain such a wide range of magic.

“Let’s leave right away.”

I looked at my teammates.

“Okay, Captain. Like the last time, you’re the captain again.”

“Okay, Te…Oh.”

“It’s creepy, my body trembles. A true warrior must overcome such adversity.”

“············”.

Travis, Aisha, and Noctar’s answers in turn.

Ralph didn’t answer.

‘Hey, you’re a big distraction. I’m guessing he’s not a 16-year-old kid.’

I’m pissed off, but I don’t have time to argue.

‘First, it creates a result, and it makes us have no choice but to acknowledge it.’

After a while, our team arrived in the central secret room.

* * *

“There was a place like this…”

Except for Theo, Aisha, who could barely see, looked into the back room.

A strange room with no doors, surrounded by stones on all four sides.

‘It’s the same as the original. In this work, I broke that stone wall.’

Theo said calmly looking into the back room.

“Noctar, Travis. Break the wall.”

“Okay.”

Noctar and Travis immediately picked up their main armament.

Noctar is a hatchet, Travis is a javelin.

Kaang, Kaang, Kaang—!

They both hit the stone wall.

But the wall showed no sign of breaking. Before that, both weapons are about to break.

Aisha, who was sorry to just look at her, said.

“I’ll help too!”

“No, you stay still. Save your energy for later.”

“Oh, I see. If you need it, tell me right away, please.”

“i get it.”

“·················ogue.”

Aisha resisted the habit of saying things like, ‘Ah, please be honest with me~’.

‘···I want to go back as before.’

But now all she can do is follow Theo’s orders.

She looked anxiously at Noctar and Travis, who were knocking on the wall.

Theo looked at Ralph calmly.

“Smash it, Ralph.”

“············”.

Ralph picked up his armament, his blunt weapon. A blunt weapon is the most suitable weapon to break down such a wall.

Theo added.

“Make sure.”

“···okay.”

Ralph used 3 types of buffs.

An enhancement buff that can only be used on yourself, but takes almost no casting time.

Ralph immediately swung his blunt weapon.

Quaang, quaang, quaang—!

Obviously, small scratches are starting to appear on the wall than before.

‘It will take you all day.’

Theo hastily revised his plans. In this work, I remember that Nike’s team broke down in a short period of time.

‘Is there a difference between the game and reality?’

At that moment, Noctar’s words broke Theo’s thoughts.

“Hmm, I think this is going to take too long. Would you rather use that method?”

Noctar patted the side of his head with his fist.

The idea is to forcefully activate the battle instinct, blood rage, and the protection of the war god.

Theo shook his head.

“No, stop.”

That method is an over-the-counter prescription.

After that trait is activated, Orcs should take a long rest.

Breaking the wall is not the end of the ‘relic search’. You have to fight B1’s Guardian as well.

have to look away

‘then······.’

Theo looked at Ralph calmly.

“Get it out, Ralph.”

“…what do you mean?”

“As long as you keep it hidden.”

“············”.

Ralph stared blankly at Theo’s voice.

‘Would you like to use it?’

Most incumbent warriors have a secret trick hidden from others.

Ralph is also a student, but a reserve warrior.

He, too, has a trump card—the fourth and last strengthening buff.

‘But how do you know?’

I’ve always thought it was some kind of mysterious guy, but I’m sure you know this.

After entering the academy, Ralph never showed anyone his fourth buff.

“Didn’t you say that you were completely following my instructions. I remember you even answering.”

Theo’s tantrum. At the same time, a strong momentum struck Ralph.

“Ugh, ugh.”

“Don’t make me say it twice. Your hesitation hurts other teammates.”

“············”.

Ralph looked in the direction Theo felt the momentum.

His eyes are invisible… but his red eyes must be burning with lava-like rage.

There was nothing wrong with Theo’s words.

But bowing his head to the one he had lost once stimulated Ralph’s tough pride.

‘Still, the only thing I can trust now is that guy.’

Soon, Ralph decided to comply.

Although he is still a student, he is also a future warrior.

Sacrifice cows for the sake of the generations.

I decided to give up my pride.

“Okay, follow me.”

Ralph used the fourth buff, which is a biggie.

His body shone brilliantly.

At the same time, explosive power boils over the whole body.

“Woo…”

Ralph began wielding his blunt weapon for sparring fiercely.

aang—!

Ralph’s blunt temperament.

Eventually, the stone wall collapsed, revealing the contents of the interior space.
