18 – Education (1)

Let me tell you something surprising: less than a day has passed yet.

Meeting Luna and Ellie in the forest, arriving at the academy and fighting with Alvin.

It all happened in one day. Sometimes I go and wonder if I’m dreaming.

‘When did I feel this way?’

An exceptionally long day. It’s like the first time I fell in the forest and went through all sorts of hardships.

Is that why? Or was it because the new bed was uncomfortable? I couldn’t sleep at all.

Even when I was living in the forest, I slept with my consciousness half awake, but today I couldn’t sleep at all.

I didn’t really feel that I had come out of the forest, and it was questionable whether I was entering the story.

‘Direct intervention would be difficult.’

I lay on the bed that Rod had prepared for me and stared blankly at the ceiling.

Admission is virtually impossible. It is questionable when he will learn to write, and he must first correct his language disorder.

It is questionable whether he will be able to speak properly even if he corrects his speech impediment. Therefore, it is better not to consider admission.

It is difficult to enter the story at this rate. However, entry is impossible, but ‘intervention’ is possible.

‘If it’s an event that catches your eye immediately after admission…’

It’s Dalian. A sparring match between freshmen in a specially designed sparring arena.

I don’t remember well, but I know that sparring will be held soon.

Perhaps the main characters will stand out at that time.

Among them, Kara, the princess of Tatar, will draw attention.

‘Will Luna win?’

Dalian is one of the most important events.

The ranking may change because it is deeply related to the ‘point’ system, one of the academy systems.

In the process, Luna will unconditionally engage in sparring with Kara. Maybe Kara will apply first.

At first glance, Luna heard that she entered as the top student, so she must have been interested in her from the beginning.

‘It’ll attract attention as well.’

If you get good results in Dalian, your points and honor will rise.

In addition to this, stats can also rise permanently. The result of the sparring with Kara is important.

‘But I don’t know if it will really rise.’

Until now, whenever I ‘survive’, my stats have increased permanently. My faith fell every time I cursed at God.

If you look at this, your stats may increase when certain conditions are met. Work is needed to confirm this.

‘I know there are hidden achievements all over the place.’

There are minor achievements, starting with destroying the magic circle that the devil had previously installed.

What I roughly remember is climbing the tallest building in the academy, the monument.

It stands out in the middle of the academy, so it is a monument that stands out anywhere.

As far as I remember, it was installed to commemorate the establishment and to prevent the invasion of demons.

In the game, when you reach the top, your stats increase, but in reality, I don’t know.

‘It’s a matter of how high it rises.’

My current stats are over 140 except for Luck and Faith. Furthermore, his stamina is close to 150.

There is a very high possibility that even if you break the achievement, it will rise only to the level of dust. It is a means to prevent multiple rounds of expedients.

Still, starting from 140, even 1 is precious and cannot be ignored. It is beneficial to break all achievements.

‘Even now, I’m not going to the monument…’

I want to go outside and climb the steeple. However, there is a very high chance of being caught by the rod.

Because he thought I was going to sneak out and he took action. First, a bell was hung on the door.

If you open the door, the bell will be raised, and Rod will come right out to check.

You may ask if you can turn off the bell, but you can’t. I installed it outside.

‘I’m tired.’

Physically, I am not tired. But I have a lot of work today, so it’s mentally tough.

I think it would be better to just close your eyes and sleep. It is also a nuisance to walk around too late.

Ah. Of course, I feel sorry for the security guards who suffer ‘late at night’.

“W-what is that guy?! Why are you going up there?”

“It would be a big trouble if it fell like that…!”

“Professor! Call professors quickly!”

I didn’t say I didn’t do it in the morning.

While I was learning the path while touring the academy with Rod, I took the opportunity to climb the monument.

I don’t know if classes start today, but there were quite a few people coming and going nearby.

‘It doesn’t matter.’

I heard a chatter from below, but I tried to ignore it and went up the monument with my bare hands.

The monument was generally similar to the ‘Clock Tower’. It means that the clock is attached to the top part.

As far as I know, we’ve almost reached that point. It wasn’t long before we reached the top.

‘It’s quite high.’

The memorial tower is built with special materials, so it is impossible to use magic when in contact with the body.

It is said that you have to go up with your bare body. If the ability is low, it falls in the middle and falls.

The height is not only high, but there are few parts that can be held by hand. Climbing with one grip.

I know you have to meet certain stats in games, but if it’s historical research, it must be historical research.

I took a short breath in the middle and reached the top.

“Wow.”

The scenery is amazing as the height is ridiculously high. There is no minister like this.

I feel like I could catch a cloud if I stretched out my hand just a little bit. It’s not really like that, but it’s that high.

‘Nothing happened.’

When I reached the top, nothing changed. Obviously, games and reality are different.

Even if you clear the achievement in multiple rounds, the stats do not go up. You should think that this and that are different.

It’s unfortunate, but the scenery is beautiful, so I can get over it. I sat on top for a while and looked around.

The top was not sharp and there was a certain amount of space, so I was able to sit down.

‘Does the demon neutralize the spire first in the academy raid part?’

Suddenly!

“Huh?”

It was when I was boggling my legs and thinking. Suddenly, I heard something cut right above my head.

As I lifted my head up, I saw the ‘land’ in a round circle. Again, it is the ground.

Originally, it is normal to see the sky, but why is the ground visible? What is that circle

Tup!

“Huh?”

It was before I even thought about it.

A hand came out of the circle and grabbed my collar tightly. Soon after, it pulls me strongly.

I couldn’t even resist because it was so fast and I didn’t have enough space to move my body.

Quadang!

Before passing through the round circle, I felt like I was going up.

However, after passing through the circle, it was tumbled to the ground under the influence of gravity.

‘What the hell is this?’

I blinked and struggled to assess the situation.

“Heh heh. It’s such an accident in the blink of an eye.”

Then a familiar voice came into my ears.

I looked up in the direction of the voice.

Rod is smiling benevolently. If you only saw a smile, it was as good as a Buddha.

But if you look at the sword he’s holding in his hand, you know he’s far from benevolent.

Sleep-

In the meantime, the round circle from which I was presumed to have escaped gradually narrowed and then disappeared.

There is only one thing I can guess, whether it’s holding the sword or why I came here.

Road connected space with space with his sword and pulled me down. It was magic with one sword.

‘If you use that, the addiction isn’t too bad yet.’

The degree of poisoning can be determined for each skill that the Lord can use.

In order to use that technology, 80% of the power must be available.

At the time of the academy’s collapse, you’d be so addicted that you’d only be able to use 50% of your abilities.

“I’ll give you candy, so follow me quietly.”

As I was assessing Rod’s state of intoxication, he handed me candy. Judging by the color, it tastes like nurungji.

I mumbled as I put the candy he gave me into my mouth. Delicious is delicious

As Rod moved forward, I followed him.

The place where the monument was built was Academy Square, but now it is right in front of the building.

It seems that he deliberately brought me down after coming all the way here in order to attract unnecessary attention.

‘People in front of the monument…’

As I turned my head toward the steeple, people gathered in a buzz.

Looks like he thinks I’m still at the top.

Still, it won’t be long before they disband on their own. Because you will have to take classes too.

“Hmm.”

Road arrived at the building before he knew it and looked back to see if I was following him.

I just munched on candy. Relieved by that, Rod opened the door and went inside.

“Welcome oh… Oh my. President?”

As soon as I opened the door and entered, the woman sitting at the desk recognized Rod and spoke to her.

Rod greeted the woman lightly and told her about her business.

“I’d like to check this friend’s health.”

“If this is your friend…”

At Lord’s words, the female employee’s gaze turned to me. Meanwhile, I figured out where I was.

This is a hospital. It is also a general hospital where the characteristics of each country are mixed.

At first glance, it may seem like an ordinary hospital, but it is not.

Hwan Empire, oriental acupuncture and herbal medicine coexist.

It is easy to explain that surgery is Western-style and internal medicine is Asian-style.

“Could it be that…”

“That’s the person you know. I’m a little worried since I live in the forest.”

“Okay. Please wait a minute.”

A female employee left for a while to report. Rod and I sat in a nearby chair and waited quietly.

He gave me another piece of candy in case I leaked somewhere else. I got tired of it, but I just ate it.

“It would be nice if there were no problems, but it’s unlikely.”

From noble mtl dot com

While waiting, Rod looked at me and muttered.

I am also curious about my health condition. I took an insect repellent, but other than that, I don’t know anything.

Maybe there’s something worse than parasites. I hope nothing happened.

“Is it really true that you live in the forest?”

“I know that.”

“Hmm. That’s interesting. There’s no other problem except that the basal metabolic rate is very high. It’s a language problem. If you keep talking, it will be fixed. Isn’t that what children usually do?”

It was very healthy.

Perhaps it is because there is a country where science has developed rapidly, various tests were conducted, and as a result, there were no problems.

For living in the forest, there are no hygiene-related diseases. Instead, they said that their basal metabolic rate is too high, so they need to adjust their diet.

The price of food is going to go crazy. If you are a student, the price of food is cheaper, but you have a reason to enroll.

“Are you saying it’s okay to eat well?”

“Yes. All I can say is that the body itself is healthy. There are no minor illnesses that are usually present.”

“Hmm.”

A rod stroking my chin and looking at me curiously. I’m also a little surprised that I’m healthy.

I ate all kinds of raw food to survive in the forest of chaos. It’s not strange even if you get sick.

But looking at my health, it must mean that my body is far from that of an ordinary person.

“Okay. Being healthy is the best. I want to meet a member of the Dan Council.”

“Congressman Dan asked for it anyway.”

After saying that, the doctor handed out a bottle of herbs to Rod.

I stared blankly at the herbs in the bottle.

That’s an herb that Lord always puts in when he brews tea. Herbs gnawing away at Lord’s body.

The doctor mentioned by the doctor is a physician from the Hwan Empire and is also the devil’s helper.

He, who is no different from the attending physician, is harming Rod’s health.

‘How can I not inform you?’

Rod wouldn’t even think that it was poison. It was prescribed by the academy, but it was natural.

Strictly speaking, it is a medicinal herb. However, it is difficult to grasp because it is a herb that becomes toxic the moment it gets into water.

“Has your cough gotten much better lately?”

“I’ve been feeling better lately. However, there are limitations because I’m older.”

“I’m glad. I’ll also tell Congressman Dan.”

While thinking about how to stop it, the treatment ended. As Rod stood up, I stood up quietly as well.

Then, just before I went out the door, I glanced at the doctor who gave Rod the herbs.

The doctor was scribbling something on the chart as if he didn’t notice my gaze.

‘I need to learn to speak as soon as possible.’

You can’t keep f*cking around. There is no choice but to lower the difficulty of the story.

When I was thinking about how to progress the story smoothly, a diagnosis related to the mind, not the body, came out.

“Intelligence appears to be normal. Instead, social skills are severely impaired due to the environment in which they were raised.”

I felt bad because it was a fact.

*****

Sibar’s comprehensive health checkup is over. The test results were very simple.

The body is health itself. In the case of five senses, they are much more developed than normal people.

The mind also lacks social skills, but there is no problem with intelligence itself. It’s an intelligence appropriate to my age.

It means that you are a normal person no matter what. However, I couldn’t help being quite sensitive because I lived in the wild.

It is Sivar’s body that proves that. Even Rod frowned at the large and small scars on his body.

Thus, I diagnosed that there would be no problem as long as it wasn’t a surprise.

However, he emphasized that social skills must be developed unconditionally.

Otherwise, you never know when another accident will happen.

“Basically, they have a high level of understanding, so it won’t be difficult for them to learn the language. Just be careful not to get on their nerves.”

“Thanks. Anything else?”

“For a detailed examination, words must be communicated…”

The psychiatrist glanced to the side.

When she gave her candy again, Sivar is looking at her while munching her mouth.

She seems to be from the Hwan Empire on the outside, but her pale skin and red eyes give her a sense of reluctance.

I’m calm because they give me candy right now, it’s like a ticking time bomb that doesn’t know when it will explode.

“I think it’s better to do it gradually. Except for being sensitive, I’m no different from a normal person.”

“Okay. Is there any medicine to prescribe?”

“No. Please give me some candy instead. I might be out of the habit of doing that.”

“Take heed.”

With this, all of Shibar’s comprehensive health examinations have been completed. Rod went out of the building with Shivar.

Occasionally, students entering the hospital greeted Rod or cast a curious glance at Sivar.

Soon after I came out of the building, I could see students wandering the streets after class.

I checked the time and it was lunchtime. Meals are served in the plaza, not in the main building.

‘It’s social…’

Rod looked back to see if Sivar was following him. He gave me candy and he’s coming along well.

There is a saying that humans are social animals. It is human nature to form a society.

It is difficult for people who have not formed a society to survive. However, Sivar survived and lived alone.

So sociality is unfamiliar to him, so he may feel rejected.

Because I don’t feel the need. If not, he may go back to the forest.

‘There must be a lot to teach.’

Since you said you have a high level of comprehension, it shouldn’t be difficult for you to understand the text.

But apart from that, it is questionable whether he will adapt well. Rod was troubled here.

Should you enroll after developing social skills, or should you enroll to develop social skills?

‘Is it necessary to educate children who have never been born?’

It was about the time when Rod laughed because he was dumbfounded.

Sug-

It was a very small sound, but it was clearly heard in Rod’s ears. It is the sound of Shivar picking up something.

I heard that sound and turned around to see Sivar holding a pebble in his hand.

At the moment when he was puzzled by the fact that he picked up a fist-sized stone, Sivar looked somewhere and straightened up.

His left hand holding the stone is pulled behind him, and his right arm stretches forward.

Eventually, he stretched his right leg forward and threw a stone at it.

“Wait…!”

Pain!

A stone left Sivar’s hand before Rod could stop it. It is much faster than the javelin shown in Dalian.

Anyone who gets hit by that throw will take a lot of damage. Rod hurriedly looked in the direction the stone flew.

I even put my hand on my sword to cut flying stones. Even though it’s fast, it’s meaningless if it cuts through space.

But fortunately, it didn’t fly towards people. If so, where are you flying?

Big cherry blossoms!

A clear and beautiful bell resounds suddenly. Rod made a devastated expression as he looked at the place where the stone had hit.

It’s a fairly tall tower, if not taller than the monument. And a bell hung from the top of it.

A bell tower that symbolizes religion. Despite the great distance, Sivar hit the bell with a throw.

“Why does the bell ring?”

“Sure.”

Students looked at the bell tower in puzzlement at the sudden ringing of the bell.

Originally, the principle is that the bell rings every hour. Unless something is wrong.

It was natural for most of the passers-by to stop and stare at the bell tower.

“f*ck!”

“··· ···”

The person who actually rang the bell tower was delighted with his arms raised.

Rod covered his face with one hand in response to Shivar’s eccentricity, which was the second time he exploded today.

It is an eccentricity that has nothing to say even if lightning strikes. Even he who is not afraid of the emperor is afraid of the wrath of God.

‘It’s embarrassing…’

I don’t know anything else, but I think I need to instill common sense.
