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

Chapter 286-290:Champagne Supernova(1-5)/Chapter 291-292:Hurricane(1-2)

Croc's gaze turned towards Theo.

He hoped that the 'hero' he was talking about would be Theo.

Theo said,

"We all did it together. It was not an easy fight."

"Is that so."

After all, if they saw Maitri's corpse, anyone with eyes would know Theo killed him.

Claire would also serve as a witness.

'This could be an opportunity to take control of the Order from the inside.'

On the way back to his companions, Theo asked,

"Croc, when do you plan to deploy the troops to destroy the Shrine?"

"Hmm. It's been over a hundred years since so many demons appeared at once. We need to investigate what kind of demon is inside the Shrine first. Not all demons are the same, after all."

There are various kinds of demons.

A commander-type entity that is weak in body but commands numerous minions.

An entity that controls fewer minions but possesses formidable physical power.

An entity that supports other demons with various buffs.

An entity that is weak in close combat but proficient in magic and sorcery, etc.

Naturally, the tactics and strategy change significantly depending on the type of demon one is facing.

For instance, when facing a commander-type entity, a large number of personnel are needed to hold back its minions.

Theo nodded,

"Is that so. If you ever need my help, please feel free to ask."

"Oh! Would that be possible?"

"Of course."

"I was embarrassed when I saw you moving against the robot. Even when I read the news articles, I thought to myself, 'Well, he's just an academy student.'"

"It's understandable. After all, that's just how it is for a student."

Croc was impressed,

"Your thoughts are indeed special. Ah, and now that I think about it, Theo, being of the Waldeurk bloodline, you would wield greater power against demons."

"That's right. Even now, far from the Shrine, my blood is boiling."

"For centuries, the Waldeurk family has been famous for demon hunting. I will strongly request the higher-ups to allow Theo's participation in this demon hunt."

"That would be great. Being a student and an outsider, the Order might not take me seriously yet."

"I will do my best, Theo. Even if you cannot participate in the battle directly, facing the demons will be a great learning experience."

"Thank you for the advice, Croc."

Theo nodded, managing his expression,

'Of course, I have no intention of just sitting back and twiddling my thumbs.'

This is a great opportunity to blatantly showcase his abilities to the key members of the Order.

They have the confidence that they are experts in demon hunting.

To shatter that solid confidence, an overwhelming performance is necessary.

'First, I need to internalize what I've learned today quickly.'
