Became a Third-Rate Villain in the Hero Academy - Chapter 322
322 – There She Go (2)
Theo faced a difficult problem.
‘Poetry, poetry…’
It was safe to say that this was the greatest difficulty since being possessed.
It wasn’t enough that Irene barged into her room without knocking…
“What is this situation now, Theo?”
Even Isabella came out of the bathroom after taking a shower.
Theo was in a very awkward situation because he did not tell anyone that he would be sharing a room with Isabella.
To anyone, the current situation would seem to be on the verge of Isabella and her big story.
After Irene glared at Isabella with a devil-like face, she gave Theo a look.
“Go. Ear. Under. God. Castle. Woman. “You asked, Theo.”
Theo didn’t say anything.
‘You should never open your mouth in a panicked manner.’
Theo instinctively felt, ‘In the current situation, every word is very important.’
‘We need a solution to turn this situation around.’
Theo quickly turned his head.
Her goal is to come up with a way to convince Irene of the current situation.
But she must not hurt Irene in the process. That was the minimum conscience that could be shown to Irene, who had taken care of her when she was helpless.
Is it because he became entangled with many women after being possessed?
‘Yes. Let’s go this way.’
Even in the midst of his confusion, Theo came up with a solution that seemed good.
Once you’ve figured out the method, all that’s left is execution.
Theo stared at the ceiling with a confused expression.
“Whoa…”
Then he let out a long sigh.
No one in the room said a word. Isabella was embarrassed and looked back and forth between Theo and Irene in front of her bathroom, while Irene still had her arms crossed with a devilish look on her face.
After letting out a long sigh, Theo invited Irene to sit down.
“I think this story is going to be a bit long, Rin. “Would you please sit down and listen?”
“······I understand.”
Because Theo’s expression was quite serious, Irene suppressed her anger and sat on the chair in front of her table.
Theo told Isabella to sit down as well.
Isabella hesitated and sat down on a chair near her. She was somewhat distant from Irene.
Theo did not make eye contact with anyone.
As if confessing her own painful memories on her behalf. She lowered her head and spoke in a quiet voice.
“I died once recently.”
Irene responded in surprise.
“······Yes?”
Theo did not react to Irene’s words. She just continued her own story.
“Maitri, the captain of the Northern Magic City and a key executive of [Turning White]. He was a pact with the Archdemon, and I died once to him. But it came back to life.”
Theo pointed to Isabella.
“Thanks to senior Isabella’s sacrifice.”
“The saint’s sacrifice?”
Irene’s expression when she asked that question was somewhat softer than before.
Theo nodded her head.
“Yes. Senior Isabella paid a big price to resurrect me. So she managed to build Mai Tree.”
“It was like that…”
There was still some doubt in Irene’s mind, but Theo’s expression was so serious that she couldn’t say anything.
Theo said.
“As I said in the previous vacant lot, I have now become an enemy that must be killed for [Turning White]. “There might be an assassin targeting me even now.”
Theo continued.
“So, I asked senior Isabella to stay with me for a while. Because there is no great therapist anywhere on this continent who can protect me as devotedly as her senior. “You just did me a favor.”
After saying that, Theo bowed his head again.
After a while, Irene kissed her lips.
“······You could have talked to me a little bit.”
Theo discreetly rolled her eyes and checked Irene’s expression. Her mouth was pouted, but her previous demonic expression was gone.
‘······The rice is ready.’
Theo cried out in joy.
However, Theo was better than anyone else at hiding his emotions.
“I thought there must be one. Of course, I trust the people gathered here, but I don’t know how far the [Turning White] Guys have infiltrated. “I thought it would be best to hide as much as possible the fact that I have senior Isabella by my side.”
“······I see.”
Irene pressed her lips together, and for a moment she was lost in her own world.
Theo still maintained a gloomy expression, and she looked at Isabella.
Isabella’s expressions include surprise, bewilderment, admiration, and fear. She was filled with all kinds of emotions.
After a while, Irene spoke.
“······I understand. Theo, I had no idea you had any reason not to say that. “I’m sorry for bringing up painful memories.”
Theo shook her head, still keeping her head down.
“No, Lin. My thoughts were short. “I could have just told you…”
“Theo…”
Irene looked at Theo with moving eyes. She was a girl who was deeply moved by her appearance.
Isabella, seeing that scene, bowed her head.
‘Theo, this guy… He’s a complete player. ‘He’s completely controlling that child’s heart.’
Isabella was even more surprised because she observed Irene’s true feelings in real time.
Theo changed not only himself but also Irene’s negative feelings toward Isabella into positive ones.
‘Theo, isn’t that bastard capable of reading other people’s minds?’
Isabella seriously wondered whether Theo also had the same [Mind Reading] Ability as her.
Regardless of her abilities, the skills she had shown so far could hardly be considered a first-year academy student. No, he was better than anyone he had ever seen.
Theo said to Irene.
“Then Rin. Please keep it a secret that my senior and I share the same room. “As you know, these types of rumors spread extremely quickly.”
Irene had no answer.
“Umm…”
She fell into her own world.
Theo did not press Irene for an answer. Instead, she waited for Irene to get out of her own world on her own.
At that time, Isabella’s eyes suddenly widened. Because she read Irene’s inner thoughts.
‘Well, please don’t say that…!’

But there was no way.
Irene spoke in a serious voice.
“Then Theo. I will also share the same room as you. “It would be better to protect you that way.”
“······.”
Theo did not answer hastily.
It would be helpful to have Irene together, but Isabella is the problem.
Isabella prefers to be alone. Because she constantly reads Irene’s inner thoughts, she may become mentally exhausted.
So Theo decided to hand over her decision-making power to Isabella.
“Lin, I don’t think that’s a question I can answer.”
“Is that so? Then, saint. Is it okay if we stay in this room together? “I am not as strong as the saint’s guardian knight, but I will protect you two even if it means throwing my body away.”
“······.”
Isabella sighed inwardly.
‘······Ha, it’s my fault.’
I liked being alone or with Theo, but I couldn’t see a way out. No one would know about the existence of her unique ability [Mind Reading].
Moreover, Irene is Theo’s fiancée. Although she is a student, even if she sleeps with Theo, it is not a big problem according to social norms.
‘I have no choice…’
The good news is that Irene was the type of person she preferred, the same person inside and out. She was similar to Claire. Even if we stayed together, she would hardly ever be mentally tired.
Isabella reluctantly nodded her head.
“Thank you for doing that. “She said she was Irene, right?”
Irene lowered her head and Isabella knelt down on one knee in front of her. It looked completely different from before.
“Yes, saint. “My name is Irene Aslan, the eldest daughter of the Aslan family.”
“Yes. I have heard of Aslan all too well. “It’s a family of knights who value cooperation and righteousness…”
Isabella patted Irene’s shoulder.
······And so the strange cohabitation of the three men and women began.

In front of the Great Devil Shrine located in the northern magic city.
Land, land─
David, the guild master of [Leaning Mind], Tapped his stomach with his hand.
“Kk~ Eok. I ate well. “This is the first time in my life that I’ve feasted on something like this.”
His body barely maintained its human form, but took on a strange shape.
A large black horn rose from his head, and black wings rose near his wing bones. The color of his eyes also changed to dark red.
David and his companions were kneeling on one knee and bowing their heads to him.
Their bodies were all trembling like aspen trees.
“Chu, congratulations, Master. As expected, the remnants of the Great Evil were no match for the Master.”
David seemed to be in a good mood, nodding his head repeatedly.
“Go-rum, go-rum. It’s a remnant, but I was a little scared because there were four of them… Well. “I almost died a few times, but I was the one who survived in the end?”
David raised his finger and pointed outside of it.
“Then let’s go. “Let’s go see how strong the Great Warrior of Light is, who has appeared for the first time in over 200 years.”
