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

Chapter 70: Trust (3)

After the tactical strategy club meeting, I trained with Aisha.

-Um, am I holding the sword correctly?

-If you put it like that, who would know? Please explain in detail.

Surprisingly, Aisha was a novice when it came to swordsmanship.

In the original game, characters with the [Weapon Master] trait could quickly adapt to new weapons.

Something felt off.

But then again, many things had changed from the original game.

So, I guided her as if I were teaching a beginner, just like Irene had done for me.

I held Aisha's wrist and waist and instructed her on the proper form.

-Hmm, I think I kind of understand. But it's difficult... Will you teach me again next time? Ah, no. Why are you making such a scary face? Why not? I'm also a member of the Waldeurk family, aren't I? Isn't it natural for the next head to take care of his subordinates?

Seeing her enthusiasm to learn, I decided to teach her again next time.

Still, with the [Weapon Master] trait, her skills should improve rapidly with just a little guidance...

At least that's what I hoped.

While lost in these thoughts, the carriage arrived at the dormitory.

I headed straight to my room.

"Nice to see you, Theo," Jang Woohee suddenly appeared near the dormitory building.

She was dressed entirely in black, resembling a stealthy cat.

Um... I didn't even notice she was there.

Where did she come from?

Anyway, it was about time.

Last week, I had asked Jang Woohee to investigate the 'Turning White' group that had infiltrated the school, using prophecy as bait.

"Let's go."

"I know a quiet place," Jang Woohee responded.

"I hope it's not far."

"Follow me," she said and disappeared, moving so fast that she would have been out of sight if you blinked.

Ah... I really didn't feel like running.

After the 'Artifact Exploration' and the training session afterwards, I was already tired.

But still, I ran behind her.

******

About 20 minutes of sprinting later, we finally stopped at a remote location, quite a distance from the dorm.

It was an isolated place with untouched grass and trees, devoid of general stores or restaurants.

So secluded that no one would notice if a person were to disappear.

I approached Jang Woohee slowly.

"Did you find the rats I asked you to investigate?"

"...Almost all," Jang Woohee replied, avoiding my gaze slightly.

Annoyed, I clicked my tongue.

"Almost all? I specifically asked you to find out everything. But, tell me what you know."

"...I've written it down here," said Jang Woohee, pulling out a small piece of paper from her pocket.

The paper was crammed full of tiny handwriting.
