I Became A Third-Rate Villain In The Hero Academy [On Hiatus]

Chapter 38: It's You (2)

"Does it really matter?"

I walked alongside Irene, who had bowed her head and become docile.

"She said she was fine, after all."

It felt awkward, as I had always walked a few steps apart from Aisha.

Come to think of it, had I ever walked alone with a girl like this before?

I couldn't remember. It didn't seem like it.

Before long, the Knight Department came into view.

Unlike the Hero Department, the Knight Department had nearly a thousand students per grade.

Yet, to emphasize the prestige of the Hero Department at Elinia Academy, the Knight Department's grounds were considerably smaller.

The building looked just as I had seen it in the original work.

"Is it true that the Hero Department doesn't have class divisions, and everyone attends the same lectures?"

At some point, Irene had recovered and was looking up at me.

"Yeah, the Knight Department is divided into five classes, as far as I know. Is that correct?"

"Yes, that's right."

Chatting like this, Irene and I arrived at the first-period classroom.

As Irene had mentioned, the Knight Department had distinct classes.

Each class held 200 students, from Class A to Class E.

As the top student, Irene was in Class A.

With a creak, Irene and I entered the classroom.

As expected of Class A, which was full of the Knight Department's elite, more than half of the seats were already occupied despite the early hour.

"!"

All eyes in the classroom were fixed on us.

The students stared at Irene and me with astonished expressions.

The looks from the female students, in particular, were somehow subtle.

"Wow! Isn't that Theo Lyn Waldeurk?"

"Yeah, you're right. The noble swordsman from the practical evaluation match. Is he the one engaged to Irene?"

"Anyway, it's the first time I've seen someone from the Hero Department attend a lecture here."

The students murmured in hushed voices.

'How awkward.'

I would never get used to this.

Nonetheless, my body seemed to disagree, as I walked nonchalantly through the countless gazes.

I chose a seat in the middle row of the lecture hall and sat next to Irene.

"Hello, you're Theo, right?"

A girl sitting to the left of Irene greeted me.

She had long, flowing blue hair and orange eyes.

'Mina.'

A supporting character who appears as Irene's close friend in most routes.

She excels academically and aids Irene both materially and emotionally.

"That's right, I'm Theo Lyn Waldeurk. You must be Mina. Irene mentioned you."

"Oh? It seems like you two have been talking quite a bit. By the way, Irene, you didn't badmouth me, did you?"
