Became a Third-Rate Villain in the Hero Academy - Became a Third-Rate Villain in the Hero Academy chapter 284

284 – Sacrifice (3)

The spell on the test subjects was lifted.

────!

The test subjects made various screams depending on their species and raised their upper bodies on the test table.

When they looked around with cloudy pupils.

“What are you doing, Theo Lin Balderk!”

Thomas shouted.

He shouted repeatedly at Theo, who did not respond in any way.

“Do you know what you just did!”

“I’m not sure.”

“······We awakened those who should disappear into the abyss for the advancement of mankind! Those who refuse to acknowledge that they have made a great sacrifice!”

Theo said as he glanced at the test subjects on the test table.

“I’m not sure. “You should listen to what they have to say.”

The test subjects who discovered Thomas stood up.

They walked towards Thomas. The murky pupils were everywhere, and their eyes were full of anger.

“Oh, this is crazy…!”

Thomas took a step back, his eyes wide as if they were about to explode.

The test subjects were cut and blood was pouring from the punctured areas and they walked towards Thomas. Orcs and Lizardmen took the lead.

To open the door from inside the laboratory, you must enter the password as you did when entering.

Thomas was tied to his rope and was unable to use both his hands.

Thomas stood with his back to the laboratory door and shouted to Theo.

“Please help me, Theo Lin Walderk! They are nothing more than living corpses! That means you just need to swing your sword a few times and you’re done!”

Theo, holding Woo Hyoyeon in his arms, answered.

“As you can see, my hands are busy. “Thomas, isn’t this a good opportunity to test how far your luck truly goes?”

“W-what kind of bullsh*t is that… Ugh, ugh!”

Before we knew it, the test subjects arrived and began mass lynching Thomas.

Puck. Wow. Flutter.

A subtle hitting sound echoed throughout the laboratory. The test subjects’ attacks were not strong.

A typical orc separates the head and body of a human male with his bare hands, but now the test orc is skinny and has serious injuries all over his body.

As Thomas said, the test subject was no different from a living corpse. With each attack, blood poured out from the body of the attacking subject.

────!

However, the test subjects paid no heed and beat Thomas step by step.

Every time he hit them, they took more damage, but they didn’t stop.

Their hatred did not subside while they were locked in the laboratory. It burned even more.

“Queu, queu. Kya… Kyaaak-!”

Thomas’ moans got louder. After being hit by the test subjects’ fern hands, he became completely injured and collapsed in a corner.

The test subjects just looked down at Thomas silently, as if they no longer had the strength to hit him.

Thomas, his face swollen, looked up at the test subjects and said.

“Okay, that’s enough, right? Leave me alone now. “Because your sacrifice will not be forgotten.”

Were those words a signal?

The test subjects sat on the floor. Their bodies seemed to collapse, as if they no longer had the strength to stand up.

Thomas’ expression brightened noticeably.

“Yes, yes! Just like Theo Lin Walderk over there, I keep my words! “I will never forget your sacrifice for the advancement of mankind… Shut up, turn off!”

Thomas’ words could not continue. This is because the orc test subject in front bit off Thomas’ neck.

That wasn’t the end. Other test subjects also raised their teeth and bit into Thomas’ body.

Thomas screamed so loudly that it filled the entire large laboratory, but the subjects did not stop.

The sound of flesh being torn and chewed.

The sound of blood splashing and flowing.

A scene where Thomas, who is trying to escape, and the test subjects who do not want to let go are mixed together.

Theo calmly watched the scene.

After some time had passed, Thomas’ screaming stopped.

Thomas’ head was turned towards Theo. He seemed unable to accept his own death until just before he died, and he had an expression of disbelief.

“······.”

Theo silently moved towards the door to leave the laboratory.

Kkiik.

When I entered the password, the door opened.

Theo came out of the laboratory.

The test subjects inside did not come out. He was lying on the floor like a dead Thomas, just looking up at Theo.

Theo said.

“Would you like to go together?”

But there was no answer.

The test subjects shook their heads instead of answering. It seemed like he didn’t even have the strength left to crawl out.

“Then I’ll just go.”

Theo said that and was about to turn his back on the car.

The human test subject in front of him opened his mouth. Perhaps the vocal cords had lost their function, but no clear voice came out.

But I could tell by the shape of his mouth what he wanted to say.

─Go, Mob, Seup, Ni, Da.

Theo closed his eyes and nodded his head to the test subject.

Slurp.

After a while, all test subjects put their heads down on the floor.

“······Rest in peace.”

Theo turned his back to Hyoyeon Woo while holding her in his arms.

* * *

Theo returned to the laboratory where his group and his researchers were.

As soon as Jang Woo-hee saw Woo Hyo-yeon in Theo’s arms, he ran over.

Jang Woo-hee looked down at Woo Hyo-yeon.

Woo Hyoyeon was left with only her bones intact, and red blood was smeared here and there on her body. However, she had no noticeable trauma.

Woohee Jang asked Theo.

“Did you treat him?”

“To be precise, I used imitation elixir.”

“······I’ve heard of it. “That is a very precious item.”

Theo neither confirmed nor denied her words.

She just said what she had to say.

“After using it, the wound healed quickly, but I didn’t wake up. “I think it’s a mental issue.”

Jang Woo-hee put her ear to Woo Hyo-yeon’s nose. A faint breathing sound was heard.

Theo said as she took out one of her luxurious blankets from her [Ah space bag].

“Amy.”

“I understand, master.”

Amy, who was waiting, spread her blanket on her floor. It was a neat move without any unnecessary details.

Theo laid Woo Hyoyeon, who was in her arms, on her blanket.

Jang Woo-hee knelt in front of Woo Hyoyeon. She then stared at Wu Hyoyeon without saying a word.

‘I guess I should just leave it alone without disturbing it.’

With that in mind, Theo approached Taylor.

“Taylor, you are back. “I’ll be back later.”

Taylor seemed to have become friendly with the researchers in the meantime, and they were exchanging various stories.

Taylor answered.

“hahahahaha. It’s up to Theo when to go. Because Theo is the leader. “Okay, was the matter you went to resolved well?”

“It leaves a bit of a bitter aftertaste, but we achieved our goal. “I want to forget what happened there.”

Taylor, who was quick-witted, did not ask about Thomas’ whereabouts.

“I moved a lot today, so it’s even more deserved. If you eat well and rest well, you will soon forget. “Anyway, I have a favor to ask of Theo.”

“What is it?”

Taylor said, pointing to the researchers.

“Will you leave their disposal to me? “You can do pretty interesting things…”

“You do that.”

Theo agreed even before Taylor finished speaking.

‘If we go out like this anyway, they will flow into the religious order.’

The Church of Light is rotten from the inside out.

It was the same in this work, and it was also the same when I listened to Isabella’s words.

They are excellent researchers.

Looking at what they have created so far, the higher-ups in the church will most likely have different feelings.

‘They must be busy fulfilling their own interests.’

Of course, it’s a different story if it helps you, but the possibility of that happening is slim.

However, it is difficult to control it when you have so many things to do. It’s best for Taylor to take charge.

Taylor said.

“······hahahahaha. I knew Theo had a cool personality, but I never thought it would be like this. All right. “Let’s conduct research in a direction that will be helpful to Theo.”

“I understand. “Then just for a moment.”

“Yes, as much as you want.”

Taylor began talking to the researchers again.

Theo turned to Jang Woo-hee.

Jang Woo-hee, who was silently looking down at Woo Hyo-yeon, raised his head upward.

“······I have something to say.”

“Say it.”

“It’s a bit hard to say here… So.”

Jang Woo-hee stood up. She walked to her dark, deserted place.

Theo followed behind.

When we arrived at the eerie place, Theo asked.

“What’s going on?”

Jang Woo-hee pursed her lips.

After a while, with redness under her eyes, she opened her mouth.

“······Thank you, really. “I really wanted to say this.”

Theo responded calmly.

“Yes. “Let’s go back now.”

“······?”

Jang Woo-hee looked at Theo with her dumb eyes. Theo had already turned his back.

‘Is that the end?’

His attitude was too plain.

He was planning on listening to whatever was asked of him, but instead, he felt frustrated.

Suddenly, something I was curious about came to mind.

Jang Woo-hee spoke to Theo’s back.

“······There’s something I’ve been curious about for a while, can I ask you?”
