388 – An Eye for an Eye (1)

Perhaps the professors had made some predictions as well. Just because they are professors don’t mean they know Tatar perfectly.

Moreover, the perception of Tatar is not so good because there were so many incidents before the founding of the country.

As soon as he entered Kara, he was treated with all kinds of contempt, calling him a barbarian. That’s what perception is.

Of course, you can think of it this way. Anyway, isn’t it thoughtless to openly discriminate against racism?

Doesn’t it make sense for academy students who received the best education to be rude?

An example that appears frequently here is the Earth. Although human rights have improved through the two world wars, racial discrimination remains the same.

Moreover, most academy students have high self-esteem. If you have high self-esteem, arrogance inevitably arises as well.

“Ha. It’s so hot it’s killing me. Why do I live in a place like this?”

“That’s right. Even though it’s hot, it’s too hot.”

At first it was nothing more than a grumbling about the weather. It’s the sound of students whispering behind me.

Currently, we are purchasing supplies needed to cross the desert, led by professors. But it took longer than expected.

Even though they are professors, they are not perfect in the Tatar language and the path is quite complicated. Should I say it is close to the market?

“How much is this?”

“Please give me 10 silver coins.”

“10 silver coins for a water bottle? Aren’t 5 enough?”

“Uh huh. I don’t know about other countries, but in our country, water is a very precious resource.”

Moreover, since ‘bargaining’ was essential, it was bound to take a long time. The weather was really hot, especially since it was lunchtime.

As a result, students will inevitably become more and more annoyed. Because heat is the main culprit that increases people’s discomfort level.

The good news among the misfortunes is that the humidity is low? So, if you have a parasol, you can avoid the heat.

“They don’t even sell parasols or hats here? Is there a place like that?”

“You must be wearing clothes instead of a parasol. Or you don’t have the money to make a parasol.”

“That could be possible. Tsk tsk.”

I heard gossip behind my back. I glanced back.

At that moment, the students who were secretly gossiping made eye contact with me. The reaction is that they are very embarrassed.

But he must have noticed that I didn’t swear, so what should I do? He made an expression like this. If you do that, you’ll get scolded later.

‘I wish I could read the mood.’

I looked around, not at the students. Rumors that academy students are coming have already spread widely.

Therefore, merchants must know that we are academy students. In times like these, first impressions are more important.

But he had a murderous look in his eyes, as if he had ruined his first impression with that gossip.

He was pretending not to be, but I was sure he was looking this way. It’s not a good sign.

“How much is this?”

“1000 silver coins.”

“Yes?”

“It’s 1,000 silver coins. They won’t sell anything below that, so go somewhere else.”

The influence also came from bargaining. The merchant who heard the gossip refused to sell.

Godin, who was the leader, looked at the merchant in great confusion. But the merchant crossed his arms and did not move.

The students who just gossiped were from a different country than Godin’s home country. So you probably didn’t even know that you were gossiping.

“This is absolutely necessary to cross the desert…”

“What is it?”

I think I should step up. I carefully stepped forward and asked Godin.

Godin was momentarily shocked when I stepped forward, and then pointed to an item that the merchant had declared he would not sell.

The identity of the object is a compass. It is beyond the necessities and is life-threatening if you don’t have it.

“Don’t you have a compass?”

“Yes. The compass breaks when you go to warp. That’s why you have to buy it locally.”

“I told you before, I’m not selling it, so go away. Don’t bother me.”

The merchant, who must have heard our conversation, waved his hand and issued an order to congratulate us. Of course, Godin looked troubled.

Instead of looking at the merchant, I looked behind him. These are the students who were openly gossiping earlier.

Do they have no idea what they did wrong? He frowns as if he doesn’t like this situation.

It looks like there will be a big fight soon. First of all, I’ll have to start by purchasing a compass.

The price of a portable compass is quite expensive, not up to 1000 silver coins.

“Can’t you make me cum?”

“Huh? Sibar… Student?”

“What? Do you know how to speak our language?”

When I spoke fluent Tatar, not only Godin but also the merchants reacted with embarrassment.

At the same time, a slight but friendly expression appeared on the merchant’s face. There is nothing better to gain favor than being fluent in a language.

“Yes. We need it. Please cut it a little.”

“Hmm. I don’t want to cut it…”

“Please be generous. This is our first trip.”

“Eh… Then I’ll take 100 silver coins.”

“Thank you.”

It was cut by a shopping 1/10th. I bowed my head and said thank you.

After finishing his calculations, the merchant glanced behind him and asked me.

“Tell those guys behind me to be careful what they say if they don’t want to get stabbed.”

“That’s a good experience too.”

“Good experience? Haha! That’s true too.”

The merchant chuckled and finished his calculations. Godin had an uneasy expression on his face as he handed over the compass.

“Do you speak Tatar language?”

“Professor, you can’t do it?”

“··· ···”

When I answered that, he nodded and moved on. It looks like he has given up on thinking deeply.

It would be great if things continued like this, but unfortunately trollers always exist.

The guys who were openly gossiping earlier ended up causing an accident.

“Why on earth are you bargaining? Do you have no money?”

“Maybe that’s the case. The country has just been established.”

“Well, if you weren’t poor, you wouldn’t have plundered, right?”

“A barbarian is a barbarian. They’re going to go out to plunder again anyway, right?”

Hmm. It is true that humans are born evil. How can it be nothing different from Earth?

There was an old saying like this: A thousand words can pay off a debt.

In other words, you can create thousands of debts with just one word.

“What did you just say, this guy? What’s wrong with our country?”

“Uh, huh? Yes?”

“Why? Did you think I wouldn’t understand you if I spoke in a foreign language? Are all Academy students like this?”

Since merchants are in the business of doing business, they do not complain even if they are overcharged.

However, ordinary passers-by, not merchants, are different. Especially if you are a young person with a lot of energy.

No matter who you are, you will feel bad if you criticize your country. Moreover, Tatar has only recently established its founding myth.

There is a very high probability that it is filled with so-called ‘mulberry’. In such a situation, a foreigner openly gossips?

“Now, there’s a misunderstanding…”

“What a misunderstanding! We’ve been called all kinds of insults, like our country is poor or barbaric!”

-Whoosh!

Now the Tatars even grab you by the collar. The student started and grabbed his hand, but it was no use.

In Tatar, men in their 30s or older belong to the ‘warriors’ group as long as they have no physical or mental defects.

Since the country was founded, we should consider him a soldier. In this era, soldiers are literally close to human weapons.

No matter how much you are an academy student, it will be difficult to deal with a soldier who has faced death several times.

‘From the moment of momentum, there is no answer.’

The student who was grabbed by the collar was unable to do anything because he was oppressed by the force. You might be feeling out of breath right now.

It was a shame that Godin, who was shocked, hurriedly stopped the local man, otherwise there would have been a serious accident.

The local man looked at the student, who was holding him by the neck and screaming, and warned Godin.

“Did you say you were an academy student?”

“Huh? Oh, wait a minute. Sivar student?”

“?”

“Please just give me a moment.”

What. Are you really asking me to translate?

Well, not all Tatars are fluent in foreign languages.

If you’re a merchant, you might be proficient at level 2 or 3 as a warrior. This alone is great.

“Hello. I speak Tatar.”

“Hmm? “You know how to speak our language?”

“Yes.”

“This is another rare experience. Anyway, please educate those guys who don’t know manners. Next time they do that again, I’ll challenge them to a duel.”

“Okay. I’ll keep it in mind.”

“Someone causes an accident and someone apologizes. Tsk tsk. The academy is back.”

“··· ···”

I’m not telling you to listen to that. Because it was not Tatar but a language from another country.

When I see the faces of the students who spit out gossip turn bright red, I think they are telling me to listen.

Perhaps this alone would be humiliating enough. Even more than me, a ‘wild person’, the rudeness will bother me.

“You guys apologize too.”

“What, what?”

“Barbarians, worse manners than wild people.”

“··· ···”

So I apologized. He bowed his head as if he had any conscience.

Even though the locals snorted, they said nothing more and went on their way.

There was a lot of commotion, but somehow things went well. But it will still be closer to the calm before the storm.

‘It seems like the positions have somehow reversed.’

Usually, I am the one who causes the accident, and the person who cleans up the mess is the professor or someone else.

But now things have changed. It was a lot of trouble trying to clean up after the person who had caused the accident.

Thanks to you, I think I know what Rod was feeling. This is why people have to experience reverse death.

Anyway, after that, the students kept quiet and a relatively comfortable situation continued. The fact that things can be easily obtained is a bonus.

But just because we were rude doesn’t mean the other person won’t be rude. Because trash exists wherever you go in the world.

“They’re from the academy?”

“You don’t look very strong?”

“If I fight him, I think I’ll win.”

Like right now. While the locals are fluent in foreign languages, we are not.

Except for me, most people don’t know Tatar at all. That’s why you don’t know even if you gossip.

However, there was no case where I crossed the line like before, so I listened with one ear and let it go with the other.

‘If I fight now, I’ll be locked up in a holding cell instead of Hector.’

Only when the scale grows can you be bold with Hector. There is nothing to be gained by just harassing the bully.

As long as you don’t cross the line.

-Sweet

“?”

It was when I entered the cool building for a short break. It was just when Godin left the table to order a drink.

The three young men who were giggling and peeling the fish just a moment ago sat right behind me.

Since I was a sensitive person, I just glanced at his face and waited patiently.

“You idiot.”

“··· ···”

“You pale b*stards. Why did you come here?”

You’re just showing your true character as a scoundrel. I just completely ignored it.

Okay. I tried to look at it out of my giantism(?).

“I don’t know if I can satisfy a woman with that dirty body.”

“Is there even a woman?”

“If there is one, I should have it right away.”

Until I heard those words.

The words had to be so vicious that other locals would have frowned.

It seemed like I stayed quiet because I didn’t want to escalate the situation, but unfortunately, I chose the wrong person.

-Drurruk

I pushed my chair back and spun around. Then, I made eye contact with a group of gangsters.

The gangsters were a little embarrassed when I looked at them, but they soon continued talking as if nothing had happened.

“Did he see us?”

“What will you do if you see it?”

I wasn’t going to say this. There is a famous proverb from ancient times.

It is said that when learning a foreign language, you mostly learn the country’s swear words.

So I.

“You prostitute.”

I blew off the pad lip very coolly.

“You b*stards.”

Plus alpha added.

[Faith rises!]
