I Became A Third-Rate Villain In The Hero Academy

71-77

Chapter 71: Trust (4)

It's finally happened, my stamina has increased.

All the hard work, especially recently, has paid off.

And today's spoils aren't over.

I acquired 8 gold coins from the shop and the artifact [Magic Cartridge].

It's a record-breaking payday.

If every day was like today, maybe I could match the likes of Neike and Piel before graduation.

"But that's never going to happen."

To be honest, days like this wouldn't come even once a month.

The higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment.

It's a painful truth I've come to realize, both in the modern world and this realm.

I quickly suppressed my joy and organized what I need to do.

First and foremost, I will save the gold coins from the shop.

I won't spend them.

My main goal is to acquire expert-level traits.

The price of expert-level traits in the shop is 20 gold coins.

Even though I got eight gold coins today, it still doesn't reach 20.

Besides, I've been consistently ranking among the top in practical evaluations.

There's no need to rush.

Unless I'm cornered, spending on lower-level traits is a bad idea.

Next, I need to figure out how to make the most of the artifact, [Magic Cartridge].

[Magic Cartridge] is an artifact that enables me to use magic up to the 3rd circle without consuming mana or casting spells.

It allows someone like me, who lacks mana, to utilize magic.

But right now, it's empty.

Because no magic has been stored inside.

I need to find someone capable of storing the magic I want.

I want debuff magic.

There are many resilient creatures like orcs, lizardmen, and beastmen who can withstand 3rd or 4th circle offensive magic.

But with debuff magic, even if it's just 3rd or 4th circle, it can be very effective when used right.

I also plan to keep the fact that I have [Magic Cartridge] a secret.

So it's difficult to ask Andrew.

Even if I have something on Andrew, he'd also know my weaknesses if he knew the magic I was planning to get.

'Seria is definitely the best choice.'

Seria.

She ranks first in the Magic Department, an 8th circle mage, and is the daughter of the Black Tower Master.
