Became a Third-Rate Villain in the Hero Academy

I looked at the entrance to the dungeon.

Again, as described in this work, it looks like an ordinary entrance to a cave that you will pass if you don’t look closely.

·······Hmm, then where.

I looked at the dungeon entrance with the enhanced [Eye of the Observer].

After looking at it for a while, I can see that it is different from the normal entrance to the cave.

The most unusual thing is that there is a magical and transparent wall at the entrance that artificially separates the inside and outside of the cave.

‘It’s right here.’

The users of this work call the [dungeon gate], the entrance to the dungeon.

‘········The future has changed a lot, but the location of this dungeon remains the same.’

I nodded thoughtfully and looked at the teammates standing behind me with anxious faces.

“············· There is no special device. You just need to enter.”

The tense faces of the team members are relieved in an instant.

Travis let out an exaggerated breath.

“aah, I’m glad.”

On the other hand, Phil had a meaningful face.

“I’m glad. Hey… But you know.”

“what.”

“Isn’t there another dungeon nearby? This may not be the dungeon to explore, as the head professor said. As far as I know, there are many dungeons around here.”

“······Hmm.”

I looked at Phil with calm eyes.

The other team members also turned to look at Piel with a face that said, ‘Is it plausible?’

‘That’s a good question.’

Also Phil.

But it is a question that can be answered.

I can’t say for sure that I am the leader of our team right now. I need to build a discussion board at this point, so that I can become a firm leader. It’s definitely better than making noise in a dangerous dungeon.

“You don’t have to worry about that. No, you don’t even have to worry about it.”

It’s a good question, but it’s still at the level of a freshman in the Braves Faculty.

If you convince me of such a question in reverse, my voice will inevitably increase.

I continued as I looked at Phil with a question mark floating above his head.

“Remember what happened last night, Phil. What did the head professor say?”

“…I told you to explore the dungeon nearby.”

“Didn’t you find any contradictions there?”

After hearing my words, Philip was troubled for a moment.

Soon, she let out a low sigh as if realizing it.

“······ah.”

“Did you realize?”

“…I don’t know if I’m right, but the professor only told me to explore the dungeon near Phosfadil Gorge. I didn’t clearly indicate which dungeon it was.”

Having said that, Phil looked at me.

Other team members look at me.

I said with a fishy smile.

“Yeah, that’s right. The head professor didn’t specify which dungeon to explore. The condition is just a dungeon somewhere in Phosfadil Gorge. The dungeon in front of us perfectly meets that condition.”

Saying that, I looked at the dungeon entrance.

The other team members also nodded their heads.

It’s time to put a wedge

“Of course, I don’t know how difficult this dungeon is. If I had to say that I knew it, it would be a part of the faculty and staff. But we have it.”

I took the crystal out of my pocket. A crystal enchanted with tracking magic that all students were given.

“No matter how hard the Faculty of Braves constantly puts its students through hard trials, they only lower it to the extent that they can overcome it. If that dungeon is at a level that threatens our lives, the instructors will come running right away. Do you have any disagreements?”

“······No, there is not.”

Phil shook his head.

Travis and Monica nod like parrots, and Andrew nodded in admiration.

‘great.’

Now this team is mine.

It was a long journey.

There are very few guys in the Brave School who are as docile as Travis and Monica.

There is no one who does not know that they are the best elite on the continent. Of course, self-esteem is very strong.

Maybe Travis and Monica are also in the Braves Faculty, so they look docile, and they’ll go crazy if they go anywhere else.

In particular, our team has two top-ranked students…

To be honest, if I had been first in the grade like Nike, I would have become the captain naturally without having to prepare a hot pack or blanket, eh.

It’s too hard to do one boss.

Anyway, after getting the tacit consent of the team members, I said to the team members.

“First, let’s have breakfast and enter. I don’t know what the dungeon is like, so make up your own mind.”

After eating, our team immediately entered the dungeon.

There was no need to relax. After walking for quite some time, the body is already warmed up.

“Oh? It’s cold outside, isn’t it warm inside?”

“Yeah. It is said that dungeons often have a completely different temperature from the outside, that’s right.”

Travis and Monica looked around and said.

Likewise, I looked around.

The temperature is noticeably different from outside.

The rough and hard floor I’ve seen many times in this work. Sharp but rough cut stone walls.

‘It’s the same as the original work.’

I quickly pulled out the information of the current dungeon in my head.

A short walk from here will bring you to a three-way fork.

That’s the first junction.

But I decided to keep quiet.

The entrance of the dungeon is at a level that can be excused for finding the entrance with information, but knowing what kind of monsters and what kind of terrain is coming out is probably too suspicious.

splash too much

Either way, if you progress quickly, you can clear it within a day… Even if you don’t clear it that quickly, the first place is our team’s charge.

It will be difficult for other teams to find the entrance to the dungeon within today.

As I was thinking about it, Travis looked at me and said,

“Theo, is it right to go forward first…?”

“Well, there is no other way, so going forward is probably the best answer.”

“Okay! Then I’ll see you first.”

I nodded, and Travis ran forward.

It’s terribly fast.

He is also a child who knows exactly how to survive the weak.

It’s easy to leave the impression that you’ve contributed to the team if you take on such a bad job.

Twenty minutes later, Travis came back and said:

“Heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh there were three forks in front of me. When I ran, it took about 10 minutes, so if I walked slowly, it would be about an hour. There were no monsters.”

“You’ve worked hard, Travis!”

Monica handed Travis a drink.

I nodded, then said.

“Then we’ll go immediately to the three crossroads Travis said about.”

“Okay, Theo.”

“······okay.”

Andrew and Phil followed me without a word.

Now that they are following me to some extent, they can start exploring the dungeon of hardship.

That said, the most important thing in dungeon exploration is detailed investigation.

What kind of terrain it is made of, what the overall temperature is, and what kind of monsters appear are the basics among the basics.

In a dungeon, various traps are activated when you perform a special action in a specific place.

Read at readwn.com

For example, in the case of a ghost-type dungeon that our team is currently in, there are several places where a wide-area abnormal state is enchanted. The special action here is to set foot in that place.

Of course, if you find out where the place is and what the special action is, you get a big bonus.

‘The place where the first state or more is enchanted is the center of the three crossroads.’

It is a fairly difficult dungeon for a first-year Braves student with no special equipment and no experience to clear.

but it’s ok

It’s a magic that’s in a dangerous state, and it can be dispelled with my [Neutral Magic], and there’s also the wizard Andrew. There is also a way to damage ghosts that do not work with physical attacks.

And I brought a potion to remove the status ailment.

After walking for about an hour, our team arrived at a three-way intersection.

Travis said cheerfully.

“It’s a place I’ve seen before! I didn’t bother going into one place because it looked dangerous.”

“Great, Travis.”

I wholeheartedly commend Travis.

He knows exactly what the scope is.

Eyes are really fast It is a valuable talent that money cannot buy.

I said as I walked to the center of the three crossroads.

“I’ll be back for a while. Everyone wait as they are. No matter what happens, don’t come.”

When I stand in the middle of the three fork in the road.

“Kuu.”

Again, a status ailment overwhelms me.

In the dizzyingness, the knees automatically fall to their knees.

But I don’t need to cast [Negative Magic] on me.

There is a limit on the number of times. This is the number of spleens you should use when you have a bigger condition.

I tried to come to my senses and looked ahead.

Six, twelve, twenty-four, the three-pronged road gradually increases.

The sharp and crudely cut stone wall is pointing its head towards me like the tip of a spear.

The hard, rough floor splits in half, and cold air gushes out.

I fumbled and tried to touch it.

But there is no feeling.

‘Confusion-type abnormal state magic…’

He barely endures it, and he fumbles and brings his hand to the bag——

“·············Theo, what are you doing! You pretended to be cool!”

Phil’s voice came from right behind him.
