Became a Third-Rate Villain in the Hero Academy

At that moment, the giant underground spider in front of us moved slightly.

A small move that would have been missed if it was the culprit.

However, the enhanced [observer’s eye] clearly captured the subtle movement of ‘that’.

“Aisha, get out of here—”

I couldn’t keep talking.

It was because Aisha, who had already fallen out of my arms, was holding the bow for the battle with serious eyes.

‘In an instant, the stance changes quickly.’

Were you a kid who just changed like that?

I was skeptical, but I buried it.

“Everyone ready for battle.”

First of all, you have to kill that giant underground spider.

Subterranean giant spiders are surrounded by a hard shell.

The tiny spider we see in our daily life has a weak outer skin, but that one is an arachnid monster and has a hard outer skin.

His usual countermeasure is to neutralize his eight legs step by step and then pierce his head—

‘It’s a very inefficient method. If you’re currently on a team, there’s a much better way.’

I immediately told my teammates who had their weapons twisted.

“Get his attention, Travis. You did well last time against Cockatrice, so you can do it. And Noctar, Ralph. Approach him from the side while Travis gets his attention and grab him and turn him over.”

“Okay, just leave it to me!”

“”Okay.””

And then I whispered to Aisha next to me.

“You’ll see a red mark in the center of that overturned ship. Only one shot there, get it right. You only have one chance.”

“Yes, got it!”

Aisha bit her lips while fixing her gaze on the giant underground spider.

great. You do it when you do it.

If you follow my instructions, it will be a one-sided massacre.

Aisha’s mana arrows could pierce through that guy’s hard skin, but that’s the bottom line.

It is not effective if you shoot with mana in a bow for daunting.

You have to spend quite a bit of mana to catch one.

You have to go up and deal with quite a few monsters as you go.

“Woo…”

The prepared shooter, Aisha, captured the breath.

Her eyes were fixed on a giant underground spider.

“Then I will believe you, Aisha.”

I ran straight to Travis to help.

The underground giant spider was quickly subjugated.

While me and Travis caught his attention, Noctar & Ralph, who approached him from the side, turned him over.

Like a monster overflowing with power, he tried to stand up straight away, but in that momentary moment, he ended his life.

Aisha’s sharp mana arrow had pierced the center of his ship—the place where the red mark was.

I looked at my teammates with a satisfied expression.

“Everyone worked hard.”

“I really? I didn’t really do much. I just went back and forth from the front.”

Travis scratched his head.

“No, everyone performed their respective roles accurately.”

It’s sincere.

Cooperative play with team members is essential in this work as well.

Of all the routes, the lowest difficulty, even on the easiest wizard route, if Nike had been alone, she would have been in a lot of danger.

Because of that, I’ve gotten a little stronger these days, but I’m still sloppy, so co-op play is essential.

The giant underground spider I just hunted was easy because I knew how to deal with it.

he’s not weak

Neike and Fiel are also limited to dealing with one dog alone at this point.

…by the way, there’s something strange about it.

A round red mark remains at the place where the giant underground spider died.

Just like the Cockatrice caught in the previous ‘Monster Subjugation’ practical evaluation, the monsters in the magic dungeon disappear without a trace when they die.

There is only one place that can do this.

turning white.

Obviously they intervened.

Wide-area blind magic, too big underground giant spider.

It wasn’t in this work.

····I stumbled upon Francis last week, but there’s another guinea pig hiding in the academy.

‘The frequency of events is too short.’

Things that would only happen at the end of the first year are already happening.

It means that the destruction of the academy, where students, instructors, and professors are dying, will be accelerated.

In this work, the incident starts in the third year, but at this rate, it is the beginning of the second year.

… No, in severe cases, it can happen even at the end of the first year.

I can’t let the academy crash before I graduate.

…we need a strong group to keep them in check.

Anyway, let’s plan this after we get out of this underground dungeon.

What is urgent is now.

I looked at a red token the size of a human adult male fist.

“Let’s take that red token separately. You’ll get extra points.”

“Okay, I’ll take care of it.”

Travis ran quickly and held the red token in his hand and lifted it up.

The sticky, viscous ooze on the red stamp dripped down.

Travis took off his cloak of conquest without hesitation and wrapped his tokens.

‘Uh… it’s dirty.’

I frowned.

Even just looking at it, I can feel the faint pain.

If I catch that, [The Twisted Dignity of the Nobility] will run rampant and I might die of shock.

…by the way, Travis. I didn’t know him well because he was a simple extra, but he knows very well how to survive as a weakling.

Should I call it a group assignment freerider that I don’t hate?

If you look closely, you must have won 1st place in the Brave Division.

“I got it!”

“Good job.”

I looked around the team.

“Are there any injuries?”

“No. That’s about it.”

“So do I.”

“Me too.”

“Then let’s go right away.”

Tub, tuk, tuk–

After two more battles with the underground giant spider, my team came up to B2.

‘Three times is the minimum fighting force.’

In this work, it was only after five battles that I was promoted to B2.

The face is definitely fine.

“Um, you think we came first?”

Travis shook his head.

“···Hmm.”

I looked around with an enhanced [observer’s eye].

There is no trace of anyone else passing by.

It is certainly.

Our team was the first to set foot in B2.

.

If nothing else, it’s number 1 as it is.

‘Fufu.’

A sense of accomplishment dominates the body.

Nike, Phil, what the hell are you guys doing?

Contrary to the roaring inside, the outside remains equally quiet.

I looked at my teammates with calm eyes.

“I said there were no injuries. Are you all in good shape?”

“This is enough.”

Noctar seemed to be in a good mood, and his molars trembled.

The other three also said there was no problem.

“Then keep going. This is how we solidify first place.”

My stamina strengthened by [Natural Power] is equal to Travis’s stamina.

Naturally, Aisha, Noctar, and Ralph have higher stamina than the two of us.

I’m not tired, they can’t be tired.

So, my team defeated the five giant underground spiders in B2 and came up to B1.

Travis whistled.

“Ah~ Now, just one more step up and it’s over~. The hard work is over, and the happiness comes~! It’s all thanks to you guys.

“Fortunately, I can’t see any monsters. It’s like there aren’t any at all? ·······Oh.”

Aisha let out a sigh.

The team members except me looked at Aisha.

Travis swallowed his saliva.

“Aisha, why…?”

“···It is not that there is not one. There is only one. But I think it is twice the size of the ones I have dealt with so far…….”

Then Aisha looked at me with anxious eyes.

Noctar said as he rotated his arms 360 degrees.

“Hmm. How are you doing, Theo?”

“·············”.

how do you do it

I’ll have to find a way to get the most out of it.

“Aisha. Where is he? Are there any other monsters around?”

“It’s not far from here. It’s about a minute’s walk and you can see it. I can’t see any other monsters other than that big one.”

My teammates looked at me with anxious eyes.

‘A mutant monster.’

Occasionally, one of the most powerful monsters is born.

That’s a mutant monster.

Mutant monsters are much stronger than normal individuals.

There is a high possibility that the strategy of turning over and aiming at the weak point of the ship will not work.

If there are no other monsters around, it will not be a ‘named’ monster. The condition for a ‘named’ monster is that other normal monsters cluster around it.

…but it’s only a minute away.

Subterranean giant spiders are almost deaf, but have good eyesight.

Since it’s a mutant, the basic trait–sight-sight must also be strengthened. Move a little further, and he’ll find us.

It’s a waste to move around recklessly.

One wrong decision against such a guy leads to the death of not only me but also all of my teammates.

“·················ogue.”

Eventually, I finished thinking.

strategy comes to mind.

I said, making eye contact with my teammates.

“…there is one trick.”

“which······?”

“But before that, there is something I need to point out.”

“What?”

“Until now, I have won easily without much worry, but now I can die from worrying for a while. There is also a way to give up first place like this and call an instructor.”

“·················ogue.”

It was sincere.

The plan I’m going to implement now is because all the team members have to believe in me like a rock.

I was talking.

“It is not shameful to call the instructor. I just want to hear an honest opinion. No matter what instructions I give you, can you carry them out without a single doubt?”

“·················ogue.”

a moment of silence.

chin.

Noctar put her hand on my shoulder, while Eisha nodded.

“···yes. Trust me, Theo.”
