347 – Taming (5)

What is needed to unite forces that are scattered like bean powder?

Either you have a firm goal or you are a public enemy. In particular, public enemies are most effective.

It is obvious that if aliens attack even Earth, which is fighting for nothing, it will unite by shouting, “We Other World.”

Although there may be conflicts big and small, in a national crisis, everyone tends to come together.

Of course, this is limited to a country or more, and it is a bit of a headache for the class at the academy where I am currently.

Dis and other faculty members have asked for my understanding, but I don’t know if they will be able to do a good job.

‘But that doesn’t mean I can roll it myself.’

Corporal punishment and other punishments are at the discretion of the professor, not the teaching assistant. I cannot touch it carelessly.

The time when I can exercise my discretion is during practical training or free training. At this time, it is easy to gently touch the pride of students with high self-esteem.

‘Besides, I have to take care of Raina too… It’s difficult. It’s difficult.’

Politics is not my forte. I am confident in using my brain, but I am particularly weak in politics.

This has a lot to do with my personality. First of all, I didn’t want to make ‘enemies’. Because if you make enemies, you get really tired.

In particular, the moment you make an enemy of someone with strong beliefs or good intentions, your future will be very troublesome. This has also been proven in Soul World.

‘It’s okay if the honor value is high… But I can’t confirm that either.’

I don’t have special eyes like Luna. Moreover, the status window may have gone out of style, but it became stagnant.

Even though the skill stats increased intermittently, they did not increase significantly. It has become closer to just an increase in faith and contemplation.

‘Is it going to its original owner?’

The status window belongs to the main character, Luna, not me. In fact, wasn’t it stolen once?

His physical strength was already at almost the highest level, and his magic attribute was no problem. The basic foundation is complete.

It could be said that technology is the problem, but there was one thing I realized while honing my skills.

‘Just learning the basics is enough.’

Look at the load. Even though I only know basic sword techniques, I was promoted to the position of a swordsman.

However, because his basic skills reached the sky, he became a swordsman. The ability to read the other person’s psychology is excellent.

In terms of soccer, he feels like Messi. Even though he is old, he is playing tricks on his opponents without any flashy skills.

You don’t need all that, just do it well. While watching Rod, I realized that there would be no problem as long as I was good at fighting.

‘······I don’t have any talent.’

To be honest, I am not very talented in martial arts. This is something I realized while attending the academy for a year.

It’s a style that uses powerful physical strength rather than technique to press down. It is far from flashy.

So, little by little, I am developing my ability to read other people’s psychology. According to Rod’s explanation, it was said to be a defensive style.

‘The more I listened to it, the more it felt like I was playing a fighting game.’

From the road’s perspective, it would be a ‘game’. Because most people are weaker than you.

Anyway, this is all over now, and I’m worried about how to get the entire class to unite and oppose me.

Rather than hostility, it is closer to giving a feeling of competition. This is a real concern.

“Um…”

“Is there something you’re worried about?”

It was a time when I was just worrying endlessly. Karas suddenly joined in from the side.

At that time, the students were listening to the professor’s explanation, so the teaching assistants had time left. That’s why Karas asked.

I glanced at Karas’ eyes, which were bright and bright, and quietly opened my mouth.

Kara had just gone to the bathroom. I can have a simple conversation.

“I said the professors were using me.”

“They’re using you?”

“Yes.”

I explained slowly to avoid any misunderstanding. It would be okay to get some advice from Karas.

The more Karas listened to my story, the more serious her expression became, and then she nodded her head. I seem to have gotten a rough idea.

“Hmm. That’s a pretty difficult problem. Can I be honest?”

“Tell me.”

“I may not have a firm goal, but I can make you a public enemy.”

One thing came to mind when I heard that suggestion.

“Oh. Really?”

Karas is a really smart guy. I looked at Karas with wide eyes.

Karas smiled confidently at my reaction and nodded his head. She is also the future emperor.

“As you know, this class has no answer and is dangerous. It’s not soybean powder, it’s gunpowder powder.”

“······Can I say that?”

“I was just telling the truth.”

It was such an explicit evaluation that I was a little shocked. But Karas was sincere.

What brilliant ideas does this madman have? I became more curious because he was such a crazy b*stard.

“But if you handle gunpowder well, it can become an amazing weapon. In particular, you can make it into a cannonball and shoot it at the enemy instead of at yourself.”

“I know what you mean. Let’s turn the class into cannonballs?”

“That’s correct. I’ll make this class out of cannonballs, not gunpowder.”

“How?”

It’s all good, but I’m curious about the method. It’s not that I doubt Karas’ political ability.

I’m just curious. Even I, who knows the future, is worried and wondering what this madman is thinking.

While I was making an expression of great interest, Karas smiled his signature meaningful smile and slowly opened his mouth.

“It’s simple. Just spread rumors.”

“Rumors?”

“It would be easier to call him a windbreaker. It’s like recruiting a demagogue. It reminds me of the old days.”

What on earth did you do by recruiting an instigator? Is the Matra Empire truly safe?

There is no person in the world as dangerous as a crazy person with outstanding abilities. It would be convenient to think of the Joker from The Dark Knight.

“However, since there are no instigators here, I will have to ask my younger brothers. If I ask my younger brothers, the process will be very easy.”

“Little brother?”

“Yes. The rest will be decided at your discretion. Just trust me.”

I believed it, but I was still skeptical. There is absolutely no doubting his abilities.

It’s just that I don’t know what this b*stard will do. Even I could have encountered unexpected situations.

Moreover, although I said it was at my discretion, the simulation would have already ended. It’s a simulation with only the ending missing.

‘I’m glad he’s the crown prince.’

It would have been truly terrible if he had been a rare psychopathic terrorist like the Joker. It is chaos in the true sense of the word.

Still, you should get at least a hint. Now it is time for students to begin training.

“Give me a hint. I don’t know.”

“Just tell the truth. The hard truth.”

“··· ···”

“You look like you want to hit me. I guess I’ll just go.”

Karas said and left the place. I looked at his back with absurd eyes.

I just looked at him with an expressionless expression, but he clearly saw what I was thinking. Did I give off momentum without even realizing it?

‘You’ll do well, right?’

He has amazing abilities, so you can trust him. You won’t hit me in the back.

If you hit me in the back, I plan on hitting you hard too. Not in a metaphorical sense, but in a physical sense.

Since then, time has passed and the time was no different from any other time. Raina’s language skills also improved, albeit only slightly.

“Senior Sibar.”

“Huh?”

“Is it really stronger? Than the whole thing?”

It was time for free training on Wednesday. While talking to Raina, a strange sound came out.

Reina, she always sounded strange, but something’s a little different today.

It feels like I’m bringing up a story I overheard somewhere. However, it was difficult to understand due to my ruinous language skills.

“What?”

“A senior. Are you stronger than us?”

“Just use your country’s language.”

She told me to use frozen language because I thought it wouldn’t work. Then Reina opened her eyes and asked.

“Huh? Do you understand? Korean language?”

“Roughly.”

Come to think of it, I didn’t tell you in advance. Raina’s language skills were so impactful that I forgot about them.

I also had some questions. If Luna is the snout of chaos, Reina is close to destruction.

Still, it’s better if Raina speaks in her native language. Luna’s snout is a real problem.

“There’s a rumor.”

“Rumors?”

“Yes. That senior looks down on our entire class? That’s the rumor.”

“?”

I tilted my head. Why is such a rumor going around?

However, it wasn’t long before I was able to get a glimpse of the source of the rumor, and it seemed to be the windbreaker that Karas had mentioned before.

Does this naturally make me a public enemy? It is a good method.

‘It feels familiar somehow?’

Anyway, I have to answer. I spoke to Raina, who was waiting for an answer.

“I didn’t look down on you.”

“Hmm. Is that so? Then how strong is it?”

“Well.”

I answered vaguely and glanced around.

Although I was pretending not to do so, other students were also eavesdropping on our conversation.

I wanted to give a cool answer, but the person I was aiming for was not Raina.

Moreover, since Raina was speaking in her native language, she was not sure about the effect.

“Train hard. If there’s anything I can help you with, let me know.”

“Oh. Yes!”

I left quietly after chatting with Raina and her. It’s still training time.

“Teacher.”

“?”

After that, time passed and the free training time was almost over.

I went around picking up practice weapons scattered on the floor to sort them out.

Occasionally, students with no sense would leave their weapons on the floor. These are the people who will get criticized if they go to the gym.

‘You’d think there was someone else to clean it up.’

Pride and all, I hope you keep your manners first. It’s so annoying.

“Teacher.”

“?”

I was just about to wrap up everything and leave. A familiar voice reached my ears.

It was Eom Seok-dae. For your information, I still don’t know the real name.

I just called it Eomseokdae because it was more convenient.

“Why?”

“I have a question for you.”

“Question?”

“Yes.”

What kind of question is this? I nodded my head as if telling me to hurry up.

Then Eom Seok-dae twitched his eyebrows and soon exhaled. It’s a breath that seems to calm her heart.

“It’s not because of anything else, it’s because bad things were said about the teaching assistant in the class.”

“Bad story?”

“Yes. That’s what the teaching assistant said… That he was ignoring us.”

“Why are you asking me that?”

When I asked in a slightly harsh tone, Eom Seok-dae’s expression hardened. At the same time, the atmosphere at the training ground became quiet.

It seems like they are eavesdropping on our conversation. Eom Seok-dae carried the gun.

I don’t know how the class atmosphere is going, but I’m sure it’s going in the direction I want.

‘Politics is shocking.’

I was slightly impressed. Now I have to use my discretion.

“Isn’t it? If the rumor is false, I apologize.”

“No, you are weak.”

“··· ···”

I threw out the facts indifferently.

“More than a squirrel.”

I didn’t lie.
