338 – Interview (3)
In fact, Kara originally had no intention of becoming a teaching assistant. Because becoming a teaching assistant didn’t do her any good.
‘What are you doing when you’re going to get so much discrimination?’
From the time she entered the academy until now, Kara has become quite irritated with her person.
Luckily, she met good people and those tendencies lessened, but they didn’t completely disappear.
In particular, she was a little reluctant to meet new people because her first impression was so strong.
Bronze skin that contrasts with others. Bright red hair. Green eyes. Subtly large physique, etc.
These conditions combined made it inevitable that the perception of being ‘different’ from others would become stronger.
‘It’s okay now that everyone is used to it…’
She doesn’t know how hard it was at first. Just because she was different and because she was from Tatar, she suffered harsh discrimination.
Moreover, she was not mentally mature at the time and was prone to violent incidents. It is a miracle that she barely escaped expulsion.
She went around alone quite a bit because she wasn’t interested in anyone.
She suffered so much just because she was ‘different.’
But, fortunately or unfortunately, those eyes were focused elsewhere. As you know, the main character is Shiva.
A boy whose birth itself was a mystery beyond his origins, and who came from the wild, far from civilization.
The boy’s appearance had quite an impact on Kara. She started by becoming friendly with Sivar.
As the saying goes, good people gathered together around the good Shivar, and Kara was included.
Even though he had a different skin color, he was much lighter than Sivar.
‘I don’t know if they don’t know that they are being discriminated against, or if they know and ignore it.’
Kara couldn’t help but be worried, given her numerous experiences with racial discrimination. She’s even seen it with her own eyes a few times.
However, Shivar tended to mostly ignore it, perhaps because he had a normal personality or because he didn’t know. It feels like she is just doing her job.
Of course, there were times when people threw punches, but everyone overlooked it because it was the other person’s fault.
After that, as time passed and various incidents and accidents occurred, I encountered a completely unexpected situation.
‘That’s strange. Would your gaze change this much if you just stayed still?’
The way I look at myself has changed. That’s close to 180 degrees.
Originally, it was basic to look at them with discrimination, but recently they were being treated like ordinary people.
Having a different skin color wasn’t a problem either. He often just asked out of pure curiosity.
Some people even looked at it as if they thought it was discrimination. When I looked at it, I was more embarrassed by this.
Where on earth did this start? Although it is a good phenomenon, it is a shocking thing for Kara.
‘I don’t know why. What has changed?’
Kara looked at herself. It is true that she changed after she became interested in Sivar as the opposite sex.
She had such disgusting thoughts that she became mentally mature by reflecting on herself.
Above all, her fists went out a lot less often. Kara has always said that she is closer to her fists than to the law.
But at some point, she realized that violence was bad, and she started trying to resolve the issue verbally as much as possible.
The moment she crossed the line, she just reported it and let it go. Naturally, such students were severely disciplined.
‘Good things are good, but…’
Still, I couldn’t help but feel reluctant because I had a lot of burns. In particular, this tendency became stronger every time I met a new person.
It may be paranoia, but new people I meet always have similar perspectives.
Although this is a phenomenon that occurred not long after Tatar exchanges began, Kara is directly exposed to it.
Therefore, whenever possible, she preferred meeting familiar faces rather than meeting new people. It was a defense mechanism caused by a deeply rooted wound.
“What? Assistant? Suddenly?”
“Yes.”
“Why?”
“I want to meet new people.”
But Shivar was different. She must have had similar wounds, but she wanted a new encounter.
Kara couldn’t help but wonder. In the meantime, considerable discriminatory treatment was given to Sivar.
Wasn’t her combat restricted from the very first test for some strange reason? Because she comes from the wild, she has no morals.
She, of course, was the professor who had no morals, and the professor got caught by Shiva and was beaten to the point of death.
I realized it when I saw that. At least Sivar does not commit violence without any reason.
Moreover, she does not ‘act’ without thinking.
“Are you going to be okay? They won’t know you.”
“So I’m more curious.”
“Umm…”
Kara sighed. Originally, rudeness comes from ignorance.
Rather than being rude as if breathing like Luna’s snout, there are a lot of rudeness people commit out of ignorance.
What’s worse is that there are many people who commit rudeness even though they know it. In such a case, it is no different from fighting.
However, there is something Kara has experienced in her life. She said there are people who cross the line and commit rudeness.
‘Does Sivar really know that?’
So far, the cases in which Shivar has committed violence have generally resulted in one incident. This is when the other party goes beyond being rude and insults.
But Kara has seen people who are even more vicious than that. These guys are so rude that they almost cross the line, and they encourage this side to take the lead.
I dealt with those guys with my fists, but what came back was punishment. Even if we protested that they provoked us first, it was of no use.
Because civilization and society treat violence as evil. Even if it is a necessary evil, evil is ultimately evil.
‘Even if the president helps, it can get complicated for no reason…’
More than anything, I was worried about Sivar. Sivar must have suffered just as many wounds as himself.
Even his personality is fundamentally good. He said that even the incident where he pulled out his tongue was because he was insulting Rod.
Although he does not mind people swearing at him, he has the type of personality that he can’t stand swearing at people he’s close to. All I could say was that he was kind.
And those people generally tend to get hurt easily. He had the mindset that he just had to endure it.
‘Ugh. Curiosity is the problem.’
However, it is impossible to stop it. Curiosity is an emotion that we as humans must have.
Moreover, humans are social animals. A person can develop only when he meets this person and builds a network.
The problem is that Shivar’s curiosity is like that of a cat. It is a predicted future that curious cats will cause accidents.
“Okay. Then, I’ll be your teaching assistant too.”
“Carado?”
“It’s because I’m worried about you.”
Again, I had no intention of becoming a teaching assistant. This is all because of Shivar.
When fighting, he is as strong as Hector, but in everyday life, it is the opposite. I feel anxious, like a child thrown into the water.
Because you never know when and where an accident will occur or where you might disappear. This is even more so after the devil attacked the academy.
The type of person who doesn’t know where they’ll go the moment they look away. Curiosity also aggrieved people’s hearts with its unnecessary abundance.
‘They look at it because it’s cute.’
However, there is a reason why people like cats. Because it’s so cute that it’s so adorable.
An animal that may seem arrogant, but if it shows some cuteness every now and then, everything will be forgiven.
Sivar is a person who fits the bill of a cat. It’s more suited to being blunt rather than haughty, but it’s still a cat.
If a kid like that even tried to be cute… I honestly wouldn’t be able to stand it. The corners of my mouth went up just thinking about it.
‘I need to be there to help you when you’re having a hard time.’
Kara was sure. Shivar has not yet felt the bitter taste of society. She has the intuition of a senior in life.
If Sivar gets hurt, you need to take good care of him. Especially considering his personality
Even though I can’t stand cursing others, I have the personality to tolerate cursing myself. No matter what happens, I will definitely endure it.
Although he was good at fighting, he was quite lacking in management skills, so he will help you this time.
‘It’s not about personal greed, it’s about Shivar.’
Strictly speaking, it’s half greed and half worry. A situation that could possibly kill two birds with one stone.
At the same time, Grace was also eliminated as a candidate for teaching assistant, so she was in a pretty good position.
Ah. I’m just saying this just in case, but I don’t want Sivar to get hurt.
I just want to hug you. Although he may have a broad heart, he is gentle and gentle.
Didn’t he go to Frozen alone to fix Rod, who was in critical condition? He is a very kind-hearted child.
“Ah. Sivar is here. Did you do well in the interview?”
“Okay. What about Kara?”
“It was easy because all the expected questions were asked.”
After the interview, we returned to the training ground. When Kara returned during her autonomous training, she welcomed him with joy.
He always has a blunt expression. It was difficult to read his expression, but he was enjoyable just to look at his face.
Later, on the day when that face turns pitiful and the new students are hugged, saying that it is difficult to teach them…
‘No. What am I thinking?’
Kara shook her head vigorously. At that moment, a sinister imagination came to mind and it was almost dangerous.
Sivar tilted his head at that, but soon moved on.
“Hmm. Anyway! “What did the professors ask you?”
“I just asked what is important in society.”
“Really? That’s fascinating. So what’s the answer?”
“They said language is important.”
Sivar told exactly what happened in the interview. Of course, he did not mention that animals must be beaten.
Because I didn’t feel the need to do it. Even if I try, I think I’ll just get nagging.
“That’s why language is important. Because we need to minimize differences as much as possible.”
“Yes.”
“··· ···”
Kara looked at Sivar blankly.
She couldn’t hide her sadness.
It seems that Sivar has already realized what the ‘difference’ is between himself and other people.
Difference and discrimination are clearly different, but the problem is that Sibar recognized it.
Maybe it’s because of my birth. Because Shivar was ultimately a descendant of the devil.
The more Kara got to know Sivar, the more pitiful she felt. Her feeling that she should be cared for became stronger.
“Well… If you try hard, you’ll be fine. There are a lot of good people around you, right?”
“Yes, that’s right. Kara is a good person too.”
“Thank you… Huh?”
Kara tried to answer with a smile, but instead she got very embarrassed. For a moment, she seemed so natural that she almost passed over.
Just now, Sivar did not speak the official language. He spoke in his familiar native language, the Tatar language.
At this Kara looked at Sivar with her astonished eyes. Then Sibar quietly opened his mouth.
“Kara is a good person. “I like good people too.”
“Shi, Sivar? Well, that’s our language… Right?”
“Yes. That’s right.”
Again, it is the Tatar language. Kara was momentarily dazed.
Nevertheless, Sivar spoke his words exactly as he thought.
“I told you. I want to narrow the gap.”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
“That’s how I learned it. Heh.”
Finally, she sticks out her tongue and acts playfully. It looks like the cat is just being cute.
Kara looked at him blankly and then laughed. She was so absurd that she burst into laughter.
At the same time, her heart started pounding. She lowered her head to hide the blush growing on her brown skin.
‘And. Really…’
-Excited! Exciting! Exciting!
Her heart was pounding violently.
‘I want to pounce on you.’
Reason and emotion began to become confused.
******
[Faith rises!]
“Huh?”
What. Why is faith rising?
‘What did I do?’
