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

Chapter 179-184: Salty & Sweet (1-6)

The [Artifact Competition] has come to an end.

For the participants, the real challenge begins after the competition, as they need to attract sponsors.

When creating artifacts or items, there are essential expenses such as development costs, personnel costs, and material costs.

For an average student, these costs are overwhelming, so most of them reach out to sponsors.

No matter what the product is, you can only make money if it sells.

Until then, there is no income.

From a sponsor's perspective, it's like investing in a promising seedling.

------

I stood up from the audience with a calm expression.

'Seria and Piel must have gone to sponsor people.'

Unlike them, there isn't a character I particularly want to sponsor at this point.

If I had to choose, it would be Dangi, but now is not a good time.

That's because she is going to lose all the sponsorship money she receives.

She'll conduct clinical trials on the [Bust Enlargement Pill] with the sponsored money, but that item won't get approved due to severe side effects.

It's like pouring water into a leaking bucket.

Just as I was about to leave the venue.

Vrr, vrrr, vrr...

The communication crystal in my pocket vibrated.

I carry two communication crystals, one given by Amy and the other by Taylor.

······Hmm, let's see.

Judging by the speed of the vibration, it's from Amy.

I quickly moved to a quiet alley near the venue and took out the crystal to answer the call.

─Hello? Hello? This is Amy. Can you hear me, young master?

Amy's voice came through the crystal.

It sounded normal at first, but there was a tremor in her voice.

I brought the crystal closer to my mouth.

─······Yes, Amy. What's the matter?

─I'm sorry to contact you when you're busy, young master. But the matter is quite urgent.

─It's okay. What's going on?

─Well, it's about Little Fist. He spoke.

─Didn't he say something yesterday as well? That he could be fed salmon once a day? Or was he complaining about the taste of his food again?

Little Fist can talk once a day.

Yesterday, he complained about the taste of his food, which I heard from Amy.

Amy's voice came through again.

─No, young master. I've already given him his salmon treat. The thing he said this time seems too important to ignore, so I decided to contact you.

─······What did he say?

─He said he wants to go to a crowded place. He said this right after our walk... I think he wants to be in a bustling area.

─······Hmm.

They say a divine beast takes after its master.

It seems Little Fist is as attention-seeking as Theo.
