Antihero In the Hero Academy: I Can Connect the Past Heroes-Chapter 59: Yes He Is

"Did they matter to me? You ask..."

As he asked this question, the sound of the hilt of the wooden training sword cracking echoed through the training grounds.

"I hate humans, even though I’m one of them I really despise all of them. I know what pieces of shit they are. I’ve never met more than a thousand well-meaning humans in my entire life. In my eyes, every single human can die, except my sister, some people from the empire like my aunt or uncle, and as many people in this academy as I can count on my fingers."

"Yet, despite all this, there is one thing I cannot deny. Yes, everyone and everything matters, whether I like it or not."

"Which brings me to this conclusion. I may hate humans and therefore refuse to be a hero. That doesn’t extend to other races, though. Kris was a human and a devil worshipper. Which makes my words true. A human brought three of the closest creatures to the concept of gods to their deathbed."

With these words, the hilt of the wooden sword Atlas held in his hand shattered, and the sword fell to the ground.

"Damn it!" Atlas thought in his own mind and then turned towards Cassandra and uttered the following words:

"The word importance is not real, especially in real life. We are disgusting creatures of a disgusting world, all races are. We act according to our instincts and thoughts. Love, hate, happiness, sadness and many more are inside us, and unfortunately, many people do not have these. Still, when I saw those triplet sisters with their clothes ripped and in such a horrible state that I couldn’t take the words in my mouth..." Atlas said, and it was as if his vocal cords were knotted with all the things he had experienced and seen in his previous life.

"Sexual harassment?" Cassandra questioned, her anger growing with each passing second.

"It was worse than that, ma’am. Believe me, the images I saw at that moment, the brutality and other things I can’t describe, when I saw those three near death, as I said, my body moved on its own. Either I was going to die or that trio was going to die, and I assure you, I am not a good person. I am a person who would sacrifice my life only for my sister. In this situation, I just rushed forward." Atlas answered.

"So [importance] you say? Not really, it is just something I have simply done and I am seeking no glory for it. I am just a tiny human being," he added while holding his madness inside his heart.

After saying these words, he shook his head and added, "I hope all that I have said has answered your question."

Cassandra was so angry after all she had heard that there was no way to explain her anger. If what Atlas had said was true and her three nieces had gone through what he had said, there was no way Kris, who was still alive, would not die.

Who knows how long the triplet sisters had been trapped in Kris’s room.

With that, Cassandra shook her head, then said, "Thank you," and tried to leave the training grounds.

At that moment, Atlas shouted "Cassandra!" as if confused. When Cassandra turned around, Atlas asked the following question:

"Well, that’s the question you asked, I mean, no one knows that I saved three vampire girls, I mean, except for about twenty people. They only praise me because I made sure to bring out the devil worshippers. So...how did you find out?" freёnovelkiss.com

"I was sent to Professor Cordelia’s room, I heard the professors talking."

"Oh...sorry, I was just curious," Atlas said, and Cassandra nodded and left the training grounds.

Atlas, who was in the field, took a deep breath and picked up another wooden sword.

At that moment, a message window opened in front of him:

[You did it knowing who that girl was, didn’t you?]

Seeing the sudden message from Hermes, Atlas sneered and replied, "She said her name was Cassandra, I saw her for the first time."

At that moment, even if he could not see it, every god and goddess watching him burst into laughter. Even in the palace of Olympus, the sounds of laughter rising one after another could be heard.

[Sometimes I can’t tell if you’re smart or stupid.] Hermes sent another message.

Atlas shook his head and said, "Can we please stop talking in code? Was she a girl I should know about? Also, why out of all gods are you sending a message to me? I thought it would be Lady Nyx."

[Of course, it has to be me, I am close to her! It was someone you needed to know! She was a Sage, you idiot!] Atlas was greeted with another message.

With this message window, Atlas scratched his head and then could do nothing but say "You are lying...".

[I am not lying. I’ve blessed this woman myself before, don’t you think I know who she is? Me, Lumine, Artemis and Ares are the ones who blessed Cassandra. We can’t stop laughing!]

After this message, Atlas shook his head and then turned to the scarecrow next to him and said, "There is nothing to do, I hope I was not too rude." and started hitting the scarecrow.

He was just wishing he would not be killed after all he had said.

So days would pass like this. Atlas would wake up every day, attend his classes, train under the watchful eyes of River, who watched him intimidatingly at the training grounds, train his aura and mana in his room, get some small training from Cordelia, and then go to sleep.

4 hours of sleep, 1 hour for personal needs, and 19 hours of training was a crazy schedule she had set for herself.

Yet after only thirteen days, a full two months since he had entered the Hero Academy Globe, he was ready. He was now a wizard with a second-level aura and three magic rings.

The thirty imperial wizards who had arrived two days earlier, each with seven magic rings, were immediately placed under Atlas’ command and waited.

30 Imperial Mages, 16 Academy Professors, Lucia, Lisa and Lyra, each of whom had quickly become five magic-ringed mages, and last but not least, Atlas, the weakest of them all, but also the one with his own advantages.

This diverse army was now ready to move. The Duke of Hessia and his army were waiting for them in the eastern part of the city, some four hundred kilometres from the academy.

The countdown to the raid had begun.
