346 – Taming (4)

“Shivar.”

“Yes.”

“Nothing’s going on, right?”

“Yes.”

“Okay. Let’s do well.”

As time passed, the day came when I started working as an assistant teacher again. Before Luna left, she left something meaningful to say.

Rather, this is what I want to say. Because I have no idea what classes other than Raina’s class are like.

It may be better than Raina’s class, which is nothing short of a powder keg, but it will still be the same as making you bleed.

‘Luna doesn’t even care?’

Thanks to her signature dang-cheong-ham, there’s a chance she won’t even care. A style that just focuses on what to do.

Moreover, even freshmen with strong egos do not mean that they do not listen to professors. On the contrary, I tend to respect it.

You have to respect your professors because your self-esteem will increase when you punch them. It is a kind of self-justification.

Still, since it is self-justification that is correct, we can overlook it leniently. It is a mindset that is a great help in self-development.

“Shivar student.”

“Yes.”

“I have a quick story to tell you. “Can you follow me?”

“?”

It was a self-training session on Wednesday afternoon. I followed behind, doubting Dis’s call.

Seeing as I left the other assistants at the training site and called it alone, there was definitely something going on. I became a little curious.

Eventually, I followed Dis and found a place that resembled an office. There were other professors in that office.

‘Weird. I haven’t had any accidents?’

Even though I paid attention to the guy who looked like Eom Seok-dae, no accident occurred. I can speak with confidence.

Or did I cause an accident without realizing it? It was a time when I was doubting myself while thinking like that.

“Student Sivar. The reason I called you was not for anything else, but for practice.”

“Practice?”

“Okay. Does the student know what the teaching assistant does during the practicum?”

I thought deeply about Dis’s words. During training, the teaching assistant usually acts as safety supervisor and guide on site.

While professors watch from afar with camera-like devices, teaching assistants are present.

Even if it is a practice session with freshmen, there is no possibility of an accident occurring.

Especially in cases where politics are terribly entangled like now, damage can be caused to the other party under the pretense of an ‘accident’.

“Yes, I know. Safety supervision and such.”

“I know what you feel. But, Student Sivar. Did you feel anything about our class while working as a teaching assistant?”

“What did you feel?”

“Yes. You can say it as it is.”

“Um…”

It has only been nearly two weeks since I started working as an assistant teacher. Nevertheless, the fact that Dis is asking this means that there are concerns.

I felt like I knew roughly what he was worried about. It’s strange that you don’t know because it’s so clearly visible.

“Soybean flour?”

“··· ···”

“Wow. The analogy is true…”

“I have nothing to say because it’s true.”

Dis was at a loss for words at such a straightforward metaphor. Other professors expressed admiration rather than admiration.

However, currently, Raina’s class lacks unity to the extent that it would be like bean powder.

Strictly speaking, this means that although the unity between factions is unknown, the unity of the class as a whole is the worst.

Compared to other classes, the control of power is particularly severe. Even if it is not a power, there are remote islands like Reina.

It is a law for isolated islands to stick together, but Reina is an even more sad reality because it is an uninhabited island among uninhabited islands.

“But if that student says something like that…”

“It means it’s very serious.”

“If this continues, I think an accident will happen sooner or later…”

The professors who followed each expressed their opinions. This is a response of concern that a major accident may occur.

In particular, what makes them even more worried is that they have to lead the team for as many as four years.

It’s difficult to handle even one person on the gold side, much less the entire class is on the gold side? I will be very reluctant to resign.

‘In a way, I feel sorry for these people too.’

The world is very complicated. There are many times when I have to fight even when I don’t want to.

But the moment you avoid it, nothing will work. It is better to fight proudly.

“Whoa. It’s just as the student said. It’s hard to find unity in our class right now.”

Dis, who was contemplating her worries, sighed and smoothed her hair. This is the side with the X-shaped scar.

Now that I think about it, I barely survived even after receiving such severe injuries. I have quite a few scars on my body too.

“So, I need the student’s help. I’m planning to slightly change the content of the lab.”

“Practice?”

“Yes. The content of the practice varies from class to class and depending on the professor’s discretion. As long as it is reasonable content.”

I’ve heard about that before. That’s why the professors in my class change the rules from time to time.

Because the Academy has a long history, the board itself is well-organized and can be changed depending on the situation.

Limiting combat, treating it as a decisive weapon, etc. It’s quite diverse.

“What should I change it to?”

“As a teaching assistant, you become a target.”

“?”

I tilted my head at Dis’s answer to her. It’s an unexpected way for me to become a target.

When I tilted my head, Dis continued speaking, probably because he felt that the explanation was insufficient.

“There are various themes and methods in practice. There are ways to divide into teams and compete, and ways to unite as a class to achieve goals.”

“Is this class the latter?”

“Yes. Actually, the former is the most convenient for professors. There is nothing easier and simpler than having students join together.”

Dis is right. There is nothing easier than having students compete with each other and score points.

Students will work hard with a competitive spirit, and professors will watch leisurely.

However, if that happens in this class, there could be serious injuries or even death in severe cases.

So, even though it may be complicated, it may be better to group the entire class into a team to achieve the goal.

“Before asking the student his / her her her her opinion her her her, can I ask one question?”

“Yes.”

“How strong is the student? Will he be able to win even if all the students in his class attack him?”

“Um…”

I thought about it for a while after hearing that question. In fact, I want to confidently say ‘yes’ without any hesitation.

However, if you ask me if I know how strong the students who entered school this time are, I honestly don’t know.

There were some faces I didn’t know. Even if you come from a famous family, you don’t know what you don’t know.

‘But there was no name like Raina, right?’

To put it bluntly, the power of the idiot siblings is not at a very high level. Just ordinary knights and wizards.

Other than Raina, the person you should keep an eye on is Eom Seok-dae. She was the presumed leader of the group, so she must be strong.

“Maybe?”

“Amado… I understand. You are surprisingly humble.”

“?”

This is my first time hearing the word humble. What on earth are you misunderstanding?

After being puzzled for a moment, I went straight back to the training ground as soon as Dis gave the order to congratulate the guests.

I don’t know what kind of practical training will be conducted, but the professors will take care of it.

Normally, I would have to consult with professors from other classes, but given the circumstances, it will be tolerated.

– Roaring. Roaring.

“Huh?”

When I returned to the training ground, students were crowded in one place.

For a moment, I thought a fight had broken out, so I took a step forward. If a fight broke out, I planned to at least watch it.

Eventually, I approached the students and unfortunately(?) It wasn’t a fight. Eom Seok-dae was alone in the center holding a sword.

‘What are you doing?’

Several candles were set up in front of Eomseokdae. Are you pulling some kind of trick?

Just as he was having that question, Eom Seok-dae’s eyes lit up and he quickly slashed horizontally with his sword.

It’s a practice sword and doesn’t contain any magic, so it’s not a dangerous blow. However, the results were quite surprising.

“Wow.”

“It’s really neat.”

“You mean there’s no shaking at all?”

All the candles were extinguished. But it doesn’t just turn off.

The candle wicks were all stuck on Eom Seok-dae’s sword face. It is even a wick that is on fire.

It was a clean blow and there was no shaking. There really is nothing to criticize.

‘It would be more effective than cutting straw bales.’

I know very well how difficult it is. Rather than cutting with a sword, I was closer to crushing with a blunt weapon.

This means that Eom Seok-dae’s talent and skills are outstanding. He definitely deserves to be the leader of the pack.

“Haha. There’s no need to be this impressed.”

Lastly, humility shown with a cheerful smile. Those words and actions were met with applause.

Everything is good except that it’s a bit cheap. How much effort do I have to have to achieve that level of detail?

‘I’m going to break all the candles, right?’

Even if you don’t watch it, it’s a video. That kind of thing didn’t suit me.

“Is there anyone out there who wants to try this?”

Eom Seok-dae stopped talking. His gaze is directed directly at me.

I’m so tall that I stand tall on my own, so I’m sure they’ll attract attention. Then Eom Seok-dae’s expression became strange.

He was a little stiff at first, but then smiled. It seemed like he had a strange plan.

“Ah. It just so happens that Assistant Sivar is here.”

“Teacher Sivar?”

“Where?”

When he pointed to me, his attention was naturally focused. I don’t really like this kind of thing.

As soon as my gaze was focused, I walked forward without any hesitation. While trying to figure out how to escape.

“Teacher, would you please give us a demonstration?”

“What should I do?”

“You can just blow out the candle like I did. “Use your own organs.”

“Can’t I just use the sword?”

“You can do it if you feel confident.”

So you’re saying you’re going to give it a nod. I shook my head.

Then Eom Seok-dae’s confident smile grew even deeper. Meanwhile, someone came with a new candle.

I didn’t say anything in particular that I was going to do, but I wonder what I’m doing. If you do this, you can’t escape.

“Are you giving up?”

“Can’t I just turn off the fire?”

“Of course.”

They say you can just turn off the complaints, so you should just turn them off and leave. I stood in front of a candle with a burning wick.

The amount of candles was more than I expected, approximately 10 or more. Eom Seok-dae extinguished a large number of candles.

Not only did it not cause any complaints, but it even showed off a very rare technique of cutting down only the foliage. I don’t have that skill.

‘Um… I guess we can do it like this, right?’

I opened my arms wide without any weapons. Then I looked at Eom Seok-dae’s expression

Eom Seok-dae made a puzzled look when I opened my arms. A face that says you can’t even predict what I’m going to do.

Eventually, they quickly narrowed their wide open arms and clapped their hands. It means applauding.

-Wow!!

A loud noise spreads throughout the training ground.

-Whoa!!!

A strong gust of wind shot towards the candle. The candle that was hit directly by the gust of wind naturally died out.

The problem is not the candle, but the candle. Perhaps because it wasn’t fixed securely, even the candle flew away in the wind.

“Ouch!”

“Bah, wind?!”

“Is it magic?!”

Students standing behind him were hit by the flying candles. I feel a little sorry about that.

I scratched my head as I looked at the cleanly disappeared candles and then looked at Eom Seok-dae.

Eom Seok-dae’s mouth is wide open, and she looks like she’s trying to tell whether what she’s seeing is real or not. Her reaction is disbelief.

“You clean that up.”

“··· ···”

“I’m going.”

I gave those instructions and moved to my seat.

This wouldn’t be considered an accident.
