I Became a Villain who Receives Obsession

94 – Preparations

“We have decided to officially announce the appearance of the Mine.”

Bella’s calm tone resonated in the quiet classroom.

“Announcing?”

“Because it has to be done someday. Today, the principal of the school handed over the imperial palace’s intention. The presentation will be made at our academy.”

“No, not even in the imperial palace, but here?”

At Zed’s question, the attention in the cluttered classroom was focused on Bella.

Everyone had the same idea.

Because it was unexpected for anyone to announce the appearance of the demons that would determine the survival of the empire at the academy, not at the imperial palace.

Nevertheless, Bella continued to speak her mind with her fortitude.

“The first place to be discovered is the academy. It is an indication that doing it in the place where it was discovered will be more meaningful.”

“Looks like you have nothing to do.”

“… Be quiet, you.”

“A large-scale staffing of all knights of the Empire is also planned. This may be good news for you.”

Since it was an academy that was the gateway to becoming a knight, most students come here to become a knight.

Dozens of students battle and fight for two years to be selected for the knights and make good grades, but those who are not selected here become adventurers or fall into personal escort occupations.

Not all of them want to become knights, but since the academy is where most of them came to become knights, Bella’s words sounded pretty good to the students.

‘As long as there is no war.’

The only pitfall is that it is about expanding the number of people due to the appearance of demons.

The fact that the knights are simultaneously growing in size means that the empire is also preparing for a war against the demons, so it is said that the increase in the number of knights, T.O, is not something to be pleased with.

Perhaps I realized this, the atmosphere in the classroom was not good overall.

“Instructor, that means….”

“It is true that the danger of the demons is increasing, although not yet. We should be prepared too.”

Sighs flowed from the classroom.

Even though I knew the truth, I was nervous for no reason.

Unlike the experiences so far, this will be the beginning of a full-fledged story.

“Uh… Then, what about the class?”

“For the time being, everything will be normal. In particular, in the case of our class, the school principal directly selected the outside practice location.”

“The principal himself?”

‘Last time too, but condescending.’

The principal of the school directly decides the practice location for class A that goes outside.

It was to gather children with the potential of heroes and send them out to gain experience faster than others.

It was a problem that every training ground that I went to fit the characteristics of a game was related to demons.

If Belgrove and Empsted were places to announce the appearance of demons, the demons will start rampaging in earnest in the place you will go this time.

The Heroic Saga is about to enter the climactic part of the story.

“Then, before the presentation of the practice sheet, let’s form a group like last time.”

What is to come has come.

I quietly took out my notebook and opened the checked page to check.

It was to check the members going out for the second outside practice with the main character at this point moving on to Chapter2 of the story.

‘Jed and Heinz are divided, and Raina and Elaine are divided. Considering the previous case, this doesn’t mean much either.’

In the case of the first practice, some parts were the same as the original, but most were organized differently.

Looking at this, it was comfortable to think that the organization of this practice was no different from the previous one.

At first, I took this seriously, but when I thought about it, there was no reason to care even if it didn’t go as it should.

Anyway, it is Siegfried and his colleagues who will stop the demons.

Outside practice is just a means to raise their level in the game, but just because they can’t be with the main character doesn’t mean they can’t become heroes.

Even if we are divided like last time, I just have to defeat the monsters and feed them experience points while going on quests.

As a whole, the big frame of the story hasn’t changed, so you just have to naturally jump on the bandwagon somehow.

‘It would be a little easier if we were in a different group from Siegfried.’

The main character’s party is done as it is, and I grow the members in my own way.

This was the most ideal composition.

“Please… please….”

Elaine is desperately praying for something with her hands together. She was behaving strangely, too.

To be honest, he should always be by my side.

Elaine, who was supposed to have become a saint right away, was half a saint because I took her allegri off.

In such a situation, if you throw it somewhere else, it will only become a negative factor.

Since I cut her ties with the church with my will, even if she doesn’t become a saint, it’s right that I’m responsible until she has abilities equivalent to that.

Anyway, since the golden mana continued to manifest, it’s probably just a matter of time.

“First of all, the first group. Students of Siegfried, Theseus, Elaine, and Altane.”

Soon after, the name was called, and as expected, the group formation was reversed.

It was fortunate that I was with Elaine and Zed, but it was unexpected that I was with Siegfried.

‘It’s really sick.’

“Wow, wow!”

Unlike me, I set aside Elaine, whom I noticeably liked, and looked at Zed and Siegfried in front.

Siegfried made eye contact with me and responded with a kind smile.

The Jed next to him has the same expression as usual.

I was doing it just in case, but it had to be twisted like this from the start so I didn’t even have the strength to react.

At least the number of people should be adjusted.

“The six students whose names have not been called are still in the same group. Next, let’s talk about the practice paper.”

Bella snapped her fingers and two large screens appeared behind her. The two screens were projecting different backgrounds.

Of course, both places were familiar to me.

“Some students may know, but the one on the left is Lacre. It is known as the place where the Knights of the Beginning arose in the distant past. As a bonus, the scenery of the mountains surrounding the city is also good, so it is still a place where many people are looking.”

Lacre, surrounded by mountains and giving you the feeling of being in the arms of a giant monster, is one of the most scenic cities in the world of Heroes Saga.

It’s good to just look at the surrounding scenery, and the atmosphere of the city itself is different from other cities, so it’s a good place to look around slowly.

It is also a memorable place while playing games personally.

‘Are there any good events happening over there?’

Not only the appearance of monsters and demons, but also the events taking place between the main characters and the heroines were quite worth seeing. It was like rain during a drought in a tough worldview, but unfortunately I don’t think I’ll see it this time.

The group consisted of only four people instead of five, and Elaine, who could be called the only heroine, had no contact with Siegfried, so she said it was an event. Although she was 90 percent my fault for how Elaine turned out to be.

“The next location is the northern section of the capital.”

“Capital? Is the practice site the capital city?”

“Right. There are many places in the capital that need your help. That’s why we set the number of people to six.”

Outside practice doesn’t always mean going to another area. Since there are places in the capital that need help, training outside the academy does not cover the region.

‘It’s just a superficial reason.’

The truth is, just in case.

The demons began to appear, and this was confirmed through the last practice.

Last time, they didn’t actively step forward, so I was lucky enough to pass it, but once the demons start to take action in earnest, we, who are still students, will find it difficult to overcome.

With Ishtar, I could do anything, but I had to go at least until the next chapter for the main character’s party to grow.

Adelie must have been concerned about that and chose only one place for her external practice. I didn’t think about it when I was playing the game, but after experiencing it myself, I think it might be so.

“Reina-san is a different group….”

Elaine muttered wistfully as she looked towards Reina.

Anyway, since Rayna is the one who takes care of Elaine next to me, it seems that she is a pity from her point of view as well. She doesn’t seem to be very happy with Reina either.

‘It’s a tearful friendship.’

“This practice will be more difficult than before, Elaine.”

“Yes….”

I am the only person I know, but this trip to La Crete will be an opportunity for Elaine to grow both mentally and externally.

Because you will encounter another demon.
