I Became A Third-Rate Villain In The Hero Academy

Chapter 177: A Woman Must Have a Pretty Chest (2)

Piel stole a glance at Theo, who was seated next to her, trying to recall something.

He was smiling warmly at Seria.

'Isn't this the second time he's seen that purple cow? And he's smiling like that?'

Of course, Theo's smile was faint, more for formalities.

But Piel's head was throbbing, making it impossible for her to think straight.

'So, Theo is also a man... What's so great about having a bulky body that's just cumbersome to move in?'

Piel remembered the whisperings among the male students from the Hero Department.

The most memorable phrase was,

'A woman needs to have a large chest!'

Piel's thoughts raced.

'Come to think of it, Theo seems especially weak to the elf princess.'

Siena may not compare to the so-called purple cow, but she had a large chest.

If you compare it to the musical scale, if the purple cow is the high note 'B*', the elf princess lies between 'G' and 'A'.

'..His fiancée is quite sizeable as well.'

To Piel's eyes, Irene would be a 'E'.

-Kahaha, Theo, why that face? You look like a pervert.

Piel's eyes naturally shifted to the owner of that voice.

'Aisha was not exactly a 'E', but she wasn't quite a 'F' either. Alright, Aisha is between 'E' and 'F'.'

As Piel quickly scanned her surroundings, her gaze drifted downward to her own chest.

She determined herself to be a 'D'.

'Damn it.'

Since she was young, she always thought breasts were just useless lumps of flesh that hindered her movements.

But now, she wished hers were slightly bigger.

Piel became sad.

Soon, his words about her looking her best when she was her usual self came to mind.

'Right. Think positively. Positively.'

She's still only 15, a year younger than them.

She's still growing.

Both body and mind can still develop!

The meal was almost over.

Aisha looked intently at Theo.

Feeling her gaze, Theo spoke up.

"Why do you look at me like that?"

"Theo, come to think of it, you mentioned yesterday during the beauty contest that you had three aides in mind. One of them is Seria... who are the other two?"

Aisha's question made Piel's ears perk up, and Seria blinked, staring at Theo.

"..."

Theo didn't answer immediately.

It was because he found their reactions amusing and wanted to enjoy it a little longer.

There was no reason not to answer.

One of the two was Irene, whom everyone would have already guessed, and the other was currently ranked last in their grade and wouldn't be picked by anyone.

Unaware of Theo's thoughts, Aisha pressed again.

"Just tell us. I mean, there's no harm in it, right? Seria is going to be on the same team anyway."

"..."

Theo, still indifferent, remained silent.

Growing impatient, Aisha asked again.

"We won't tell anyone. We also won't poach the people you mention. Right, Piel?"

"...Yeah. I won't touch anyone he's eyeing."

Piel nodded seriously.

Theo then answered,

"Irene from the Knight Department, and Alphs."

At his answer, Aisha, Piel, and Seria tilted their heads.

While they had expected Irene, who was Theo's fiancée and had participated in a tournament with him, the name Alphs was new to them.

"Who's Alphs?"

"...It's a name I've never heard before."

"Me neither. They must not be a well-known student. I've heard of most top-ranking Knight Department students, but I've never heard of Alphs."

The three looked expectantly at Theo.

He responded,

"It's understandable. Her rank is low, and she's a quiet kid. I discovered her by chance."

Alphs, full name Alphs Shupiri, currently ranked 828th in the Knight Department.

Considering that there are about 1,000 students in the first year of the Knight Department, based on grades alone, she is a bottom-ranked student.

It's no wonder they hadn't heard of her name.

However, she is currently unable to use much of her potential, mainly due to psychological reasons.

In the game, once her potential is fully unlocked, she is treated as a secret weapon by the [Order of Light], capable of using massive lost holy buffs, and is incredibly powerful.

She might be affiliated with the [Order of Light] at this point, but due to her low rank, she's probably ignored by the other students of the order.

But Theo knows how to unlock her potential.

'With Irene and Seria at least, I should be able to hold on until I fully unlock Alphs' potential.'

Irene and Seria didn't enter the Hero Department due to personal reasons such as their personality and preferences.

Their skills are undoubtedly strong enough to be considered at the top of the Hero Department.

The moment when Alphs' potential is fully awakened is the moment the dream team is complete.

After the meal.

"Well, I'll see you next time. I have somewhere to go, so I'll take my leave."

I bid farewell to the others and quickly walked away.

I had somewhere to go.

?The highly anticipated Artifact Competition at Elinia Academy Festival will commence at 1 PM!

During my meal, I heard the enticing news.

I was planning to go and see the Artifact Competition.

Held near the Alchemy Department, the Artifact Competition is one of the three main events of the festival, with many named characters participating.

Among them, I have my eyes on a particular character named 'Dangi.'

She is a first-year alchemy student from the Eastern Empire.

In the game, she possesses an exceptional talent, capable of creating items that rival ancient artifacts.

Of course, that's something for later...

For now, she's probably creating something peculiar.

With these thoughts, I boarded the carriage heading towards the Alchemy Department.

Inside, perhaps due to lunchtime, it was relatively empty, with more than half of the seats vacant.

Instinctively, I took a seat at the back diagonal right.

Hmm...

Then two girls took the seats on my left.

"...Hello. What a coincidence."

"Oh my. Hello, Theo. Are you also on your way to watch the Artifact Competition?"

It was Piel and Seria.

I nodded to Seria.

"Yes. It's one of the festival's three main events, so I should see it."

"Hehe, seems like you have a student in mind?"

"Just one. Do you have someone in mind, Seria?"

"Not particularly. But magic and alchemy are inseparable. I'm hoping to get some inspiration."

Saying so, Seria sent me a slightly formal smile.

At the same time, I couldn't help but notice Seria's incredible chest.

...I guess it's just a natural instinct for men to be drawn to it.

I enhanced [Twisted Noble's Dignity] with [Amplification Orb].

"That's the right attitude, Seria. Let's continue to improve together."

"Hehe, naturally. By the way, can you tell me who you're interested in?"

"Dangi."

"Ah... Dangi is also famous in the Magic Department. Since her admission, she's been constantly producing innovative items. I'm curious to see what she has made this time."

Seria, Piel, and I arrived at the large stage near the Alchemy Department, where the [Artifact Competition] was taking place.

As expected for one of the three major competitions, the area was crowded with people.

The competition hadn't even started yet, but there were at least 2,000 spectators.

In addition to students, there were reporters, guild representatives, and national officials.

"The lineup of the Alchemy Department students are impressive this time."

"But we can't see their entries in advance, can we? Only their names are listed."

"Right. Normally, the entries are revealed on the day of the competition. They say early reveals aren't good for the event's popularity."

"Senior, there are so many people. Feels like more than all the previous competitions combined."

"It's one of the three major events of the festival. In terms of audience size, it's second only to the Martial Arts Competition. Anyway, keep your wits about you and take some good photos for the article."

"Understood."

"By the way, wasn't your team's Artifact Engineer a previous winner of the [Artifact Competition]?"

"Yeah, when I saw how quickly he restored a damaged artifact, I kept an eye on him and recruited him after graduation."

"I hope we have many talented individuals like him who can contribute to our kingdom."

"I'll definitely keep an eye out."

It's quite noisy.

Where should we sit?

'The front seats seem to be taken.'

Only the back seats were left.

Well, the back seats are fine.

Using magic, I can see everything clearly.

And with Seria here, I can ask her to recharge my mana afterwards.

Thus, Seria, Piel, and I took our seats at the back and waited for the competition to begin.

The murmurs of the audience could be heard.

?Hey, the item that Dangi made this time is really amazing! I can't believe my eyes.

?What is it? Quit making a fuss and just tell me.

?Hey, I secretly saw it behind the stage, so keep it between us. It's called... the Bust Enlargement Pill!

Bust Enlargement Pill.

Something that enlarges the bust...
