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

Chapter 113: Wild (4)

"Huh, what?"

Seria bent down and picked up the small object that had landed neatly before her.

It was a note.

She unfurled the piece of paper.

[Mana recharge needed.]

The contents of the note were written in a familiar, crooked handwriting.

One she had seen dozens, if not hundreds, of times.

'He must have written this with his off-hand.'

A clear intention of leaving no trace for her to guess his identity.

Such meticulousness.

Any other person would feel slighted, but not Seria.

She was just grateful that their connection remained unbroken.

If anything, her interest was piqued even more.

Looking in the direction from which the note had come, Seria murmured softly.

"Are you... there?"

With her words, a man dressed in a form-fitting black outfit revealed himself.

While not overly muscular, his physique was well-toned.

He wore a mask that fully covered his small face.

It was the same man she had seen a week ago.

He approached with steady steps and handed Seria another note.

The message was simple:

[Can you do it now?]

Of course she could. Even if she had prior commitments, she'd put it aside.

She had been looking forward to this moment for so long.

"Yes. There might be people nearby, and you seem to be in a hurry. Shall we go in right away?"

Pointing at the lab door with her slender, pale finger, the masked man nodded in agreement.

Seria gently smiled and opened the door to the lab.

Just place the hand over the mark of [Magic Cartridge] and infuse it with mana.

Feeling that the [Magic Cartridge] was now full of mana, I put back on my half-removed shirt.

Then, I handed Seria a note I'd prepared in advance that read,

[Thank you.]

After checking the note, a faint smile appeared on Seria's face.

"Do you really mean it?"

Instead of answering verbally, I expressed my gratitude with a big nod.

"Last time, you provided compensation... don't you have anything for me today?"

In response, I pulled out another note from my pocket.

[Today, I didn't prepare anything in particular. But for merely charging mana, I can't provide the same type of gift as before. However, if you charge my mana regularly, I'll ensure there's compensation.]

After reading the note, Seria responded,

"...Regularly. I see."

She smirked slightly and continued,
