380 – Shiva and the Fools (2)

“So… Wheeled warfare? A tactic of attacking without a break?”

“Yes.”

“We adopted it because you guys were numerous?”

“Yes.”

Time passed and the last day of the exam.

In the meantime, as a student, I was catching new information as if I was catching a mouse.

If I fight when I’m in my best condition, there’s no answer, so let’s eat it down step by step.

You take turns fighting for the next battle.

‘Are these people stupid?’

I was dumbfounded when I heard that story. Has less information about me been released?

It was the same not only for me but also for the team members who were listening to the story.

“Don’t you guys know much about Shivar? Do you know where he came from?”

This is Kara’s question. She has a puzzled face similar to mine.

The student who was caught up in the question tilted his head. Her face was swollen from the recent battle.

“I know you’re from the Forest of Chaos. What does that have to do with it?”

“Who cares? He lived there? It must have been hard to sleep, right?”

“I couldn’t sleep.”

Even though my body didn’t need sleep to begin with, I didn’t even have time to sleep.

Is it because predators are coming? This is half true.

Rather than predators, things like snakes and bugs kept crawling and bothering me.

Predators may be large, but they are small, so you have no choice but to pay attention every time.

‘Even though it was later reduced to a snack.’

Before I fully adapted, every day was a wheel battle. So I was confident in my physical strength.

How can you use this tactic without even knowing it? This is why it is important to maintain ground cover.

Anyway, all that said, I could forgive the surprise attack so far to some extent.

But this time I absolutely couldn’t bear it.

“You’re from the East, right?”

“Yes? Yes.”

“Yes, that’s true, but…”

Then the conversation will go well. I glared at them with a serious expression, not the blank expression I usually made.

The students seemed very nervous, as if they had roughly guessed what would happen to them.

So far, students have just taken off their bracelets and finished, but not these guys. I committed a sin that can never be forgiven.

“I don’t even touch the dog when I’m eating.”

“Yes?”

“You’ve heard that, right?”

“Well, that’s…”

One student hesitated. Since you are from the East, you must have realized what I am talking about.

One of the biggest sins they committed was attacking them during meal times.

In fact, all the food that was prepared fell over and the entire meal was lost.

So he was so angry that he personally captured them alive. To ask why you did this.

‘I feel like putting a wet towel on my face…’

If you do that, you may be subject to disciplinary action. This is because the regulations clearly state that torture is strictly prohibited.

However, we cannot leave them alone. Even if it’s embarrassing, I’ll end up harassing you somehow.

At the same time, Kara was quite angry. I consulted with her over her entrenched students.

“What are you going to do? I think the final fight will happen soon.”

“Attach a bomb to your body?”

“If you do that, you will be expelled, not disciplined.”

Hmm. Well, the hostage bombing was a bit harsh.

Moreover, there are no bombs in this test. From what I heard, he was kicked out of the exam.

You can ask why Karas isn’t here, but I don’t know where this guy is.

It is unclear where she is wandering around or whether she is pursuing her own strategy.

‘What. ‘I’m not a guy who does useless things.’

That’s because he uses his good brain in strange places. He has one amazingly good brain.

So there is no need to worry too much, just focus on the final battle ahead and you will be fine.

“Ah. I have a good idea.”

“It’s not strange, is it?”

“Yes. Bury it in the ground, leaving only the head.”

If other people heard it, they would ask, “What kind of barbarism is there?”

One could say that it is barbaric to bury only the head in the ground, but it is difficult to escape voluntarily.

In addition, honey or pieces of fish are placed on the head to entice the animal to eat it.

Some countries have even used the death penalty, so you can see how vicious it is.

“······Where did you see that? A book?”

“No? That’s what I thought?”

“How on earth does he come up with this kind of idea…?”

Kara heard my opinion and muttered in a shaky voice. Her response is that she is shocked.

Anyway, this too was overlooked and in the end there was no choice but to harass them on a humanitarian level.

Even that could be said to be merciful in its own way since it was hung upside down.

“Merciful? You’ve never been hung upside down, right?”

“Yes.”

“If you do that wrong, you could die.”

“Really?”

This is my first time hearing that. Is it because the blood is rushing to the head? I followed her steps while listening to Kara nagging her.

It means not to use ordinary people as your standard. But honestly, I wanted to refute this part.

‘There are only monsters around.’

Sometimes there is cognitive dissonance in the form of this world.

There are people who can’t even eat a spear knife, while there are also people who can’t even lift a spoon.

Should we say that polarization is severe? Perhaps because of the existence of magical power, people’s strength was divided so drastically.

‘I do things that cannot be explained even by science.’

From cutting the space to moving it. It is full of things that cannot be explained by science.

I once again admired Jane, who achieved an incredible invention in a world where science was ignored.

Since his talent has only just begun to bloom, there is a lot of room for further development.

‘Now that I think about it, what are you planning to make?’

In Soul World, the budget was so tight that the steel suit appeared late.

But now, with full support, the steel suit has appeared early. So what is Jane doing?

My guess is that they will be looking for improvement points. It is true that it has many shortcomings as it is a prototype.

“······Bar.”

“··· ···”

“Shivar? Are you listening to me?”

“Huh?”

She was thinking about something else and didn’t hear Kara. I looked at her with wide eyes.

Kara made a blunt expression and gently pinched my cheek with her hand.

“You didn’t listen to me and were thinking about something else, right?”

“Uhm.”

“Okay, I’ll ask you again. What are you going to do now?”

How do you do it? I thought to Kara as she pinched her cheek.

Perhaps she is referring to her great battle ahead of her. I rolled my eyes around her and looked at her fingers.

The orange ring that was supposed to be on her left index finger was replaced with a red ring.

It was the treasure taken from Raina, and the orange ring is over there. This also applies to green treasure.

“As you know, they are not children to be trifled with.” You may be able to take them all down on your own, but you can also persistently target only the bracelet.”

“Ugh.”

“So, let me ask you. Should I fight as your assistant, or should I fight separately?”

I answered without even thinking.

“I’m not protecting you?”

“··· ···”

In response, Kara looked at me with her dumbfounded face. This is an unexpected reaction.

Afterwards, her face turned slightly red and she cleared her throat and looked away.

“Hmm. I didn’t think of this. I’ve never been protected before.”

“How do you feel?”

“What…”

Kara gently touched the back of her neck at my words her her her. It’s a habit she has when she has trouble answering.

Eventually, after studying my thoughts for a while, she smiled and spoke in a refreshing voice.

“This kind of treatment isn’t bad.”

“Really?”

“Instead, don’t do that even if you go to Tatar. It’s really awkward and I feel like I’m going to die.”

“Then I want to do more.”

“I told you not to do it?”

It is human psychology to want to do something when you are told not to do it.

I stared at Kara, who was embarrassed. Kara also flinched at my gaze.

Eventually, the words that came out of my mouth were not the official language, but the Tatar language.

“Princess?”

“Kyaaa!”

Hmm. The reaction is really great.

I will have to use it for a long time in the future.

I walked away giggling while Kara got her game going.

The next place we arrived was a village. I could feel it as soon as I arrived in the village.

‘Everyone is gathered here.’

It won’t be long before all the students here will attack us.

The sun was starting to set, and it wasn’t long until the end of the exam.

*****

“You’re here.”

Namgung Seokdae muttered calmly. The students around us looked nervous at the muttering.

Currently, they are hiding in a house in the village. It is a preparation for the upcoming final battle.

If the students sent just before had failed, they would have been revived by now. Of course, this is only his prediction

Even Namgung Seokdae does not know that he was attacked and hung upside down during meal time.

“What should I do?”

“Before that, what about the Frozen Princess?”

Namgung Seokdae found Raina. For her students, she is her most important force.

Even though she was robbed of the red treasure, her power is very important.

With a slight exaggeration, it accounts for half of the students’ strength.

“I was hungry so I ate a canned food.”

“Hmm. Then there’s nothing we can do.”

It’s inevitable to be hungry. Namgung Seokdae began to plan a strategy excluding Raina.

First of all, it is nearly impossible to defeat that monster, that is, Sivar, directly. I realized this after already fighting once.

However, although it is close to impossible, it is not completely impossible. You can temporarily eliminate it by simply removing the bracelet.

“To do that, we have to make a lot of sacrifices… Is there any clever way?”

“How about we all flock together and grab each limb?”

“I wouldn’t know if I was alone, but now I have a Tatar princess. Dismissed.”

“How about just targeting the bracelet with sniping?”

“And then we’ll get hit by a meteorite again. Dismissed.”

A good strategy was rarely found. First of all, the symmetry of power was not right.

Some people fight with spears and swords, while others repeatedly lift and release the ground with a single hand gesture.

Even though there were wizards and gurus, it didn’t mean much. Namgung Seokdae’s head gradually began to hurt.

‘Why is there a person who can take the position of general…’

I didn’t know it before, but I realized it when I got involved. Shivar is not a candidate for the academy.

It had the kind of military power that wouldn’t be surprising even if powerful countries made a fuss to scout it out.

However, due to the lack of ‘fundamentals’ and ‘backgrounds’, there were very few people who were willing to take him overtly.

In fact, Rod was blocking this to ensure Sivar’s comfortable school life, but there is no way to know that.

‘It will be difficult to take them to the Hwan Empire.’

Namgung Seokdae shook his head.

It would be nice if they didn’t criticize me and criticize me for having no foundation.

The East is conservative in many ways, so it is difficult to forgive this side.

Wouldn’t it be okay if a civil war broke out? That’s funny.

There are a lot of old guys who talk about their prestige even if a sword is stuck in their stomach right now, so I will allow it.

“But it’s still more likely than before. Is everyone ready?”

“I’m ready! Let’s go!”

“······Huh?”

Whose voice is this? The students, including Namgung Seokdae, looked puzzled.

Although the voice was familiar, what the owner did next was truly confusing.

-Bang!

First, I kicked open the door of the house.

“Ryaaa~!!”

Because he rushed towards Shivar and Kara with his lush green hair flying.

Before she knew it, an ax flew into her now empty hands. And it was held.

Namgung Seok-dae and her students watched in vain as Raina rushed forward.

“······Oh my god. That person jumped in alone?”

“Run quickly! Follow the plan!”

“W-what are you planning?!”

Namgung Seokdae shouted in response to the student’s confused question.

“What are you talking about? Hunting animals!”

A dog fight has begun.

Meanwhile, Leroy, no, Reina, who recklessly rushed forward…

‘I have to fight randomly when it’s hard to win anyway!’

I felt extremely at ease.
