A Wild Man Has Entered the Academy

23 – Training (1)

After having a hearty lunch, I returned to the main building.

Unlike the morning, which was a theory class, the afternoon is practical training.

However, as Marlboro said, it was changed to self-training until the day of Dalian.

Your words are voluntary, in fact, you only have morning classes and you are done. Maybe that’s why some students don’t come.

‘Did wizards mainly use private training rooms?’

I followed Luna into the autonomous training ground. Kara took a short break to recover.

The autonomous training ground I saw in reality boasted a fairly large scale. It is much larger than most gyms.

Exercise equipment was placed to improve physical ability, and there was also a simple sparring ground.

Moreover, there was even a space for individual training, so it can be said to be a very good facility.

“Hmm… What should I do first?”

While I was looking around the autonomous training ground, Luna muttered in a worried tone.

Originally, she would have devoted herself to her training alone. But today I am

It’s impossible to train while leaving me alone, and I can’t seem to come up with the right training to do it together.

‘Technology is more important to me.’

The body specs are stacked according to stacking. What is urgent right now is technology.

There is not even a ‘basic’ related skill that even the first start character exists. This is a rather serious problem.

How serious it is, it takes a lot of effort to get the basics. It is difficult to learn even the basics.

“I’m here.”

“Ah. You’re here…”

While contemplating the training method, a familiar voice came into my ears.

Turning her head in the direction the voice came from, Luna stopped her words. In the meantime, she slowly looked behind her.

“Don’t you change your clothes? Even for Sivar, the school uniform is uncomfortable.”

It was Kara. She stood tall in a really cool-looking outfit.

A tight black bra and short shorts. It is a cool outfit that goes well with a cool mask.

In addition, large and small scars were engraved all over her limbs, including her abdomen, giving off a strong impression.

It is a mark that proves how many battles she has had.

“······I’m fine. Today I’m going to focus on swordsmanship training. What about Kara?”

“I’m good at physical training…”

Kara stares at me as she says that. She has a look of thought for a moment.

I’ve been looking closely at Kara’s appearance. She didn’t know when she was in her school uniform, but she’s awesome in many ways.

From the tanned skin to the 11-character abs clearly engraved on the abdomen. It shows exactly what health is.

‘It’s a desert country, so exposure was generous, right?’

It’s a hot country, so I don’t mind exposure.

I know that’s why I don’t have classes or I wear that kind of outfit every weekend.

There are many attractive characters in Soul World, but Kara has a strong personality among them.

“What is he going to do? It’s ambiguous to leave him alone.”

Kara pointed at me and asked while she was distracted for a moment.

Even from Luna’s point of view, she answered with some embarrassment, perhaps because she was difficult to deal with.

“Actually, that’s what I’m worried about too. It’s uneasy to leave it as it is, and it’s ambiguous to train it.”

“Then can I take you with me?”

“Yes?”

Luna was taken aback by Kara’s suggestion. She is the face of what that means.

“Ah. As I said beforehand, it’s not like sparring or anything like that. I just have a few things I’m curious about.”

“If you’re curious…”

“Muscle strength or reaction speed. First of all, the thing I’m most curious about is the javelin. When I saw him in sparring, his javelin skill was unusual.”

During the sparring with Alvin, he threw a spear strongly to keep him in check.

If I had thrown it a little harder at that time, Elvin’s head would have been threaded like a skewer.

I threw it only with pure strength without adding magic power. Kara seems curious about that.

“Aren’t you curious too?”

“You’ll be fine without looking at your strength. I broke Manky’s leg cleanly with a stone axe.”

“It’s cool. But I’m curious about what I’m curious about, so let’s try it. You can see it too.”

“Why me?”

“I wonder if strength can come from such thin arms.”

“······Are you already quarreling over Dalian?”

While they had a friendly (?) Conversation, I looked around.

Suddenly, the sparring ground caught my eye. Students engaged in sparring and students around them are gathered.

I was curious about it and walked slowly. Luna and Kara didn’t notice because they were arguing with each other.

Pak!

When I arrived at the arena, I could see a female student holding a spear stabbing at high speed.

The male student she was dealing with evaded the thrust by moving only her head, then cut her from the bottom up with the sword she was holding with both hands.

Attack made at the same time as evasion. The female student also blocked the attack with the back of her spear, probably anticipating the attack.

The male student didn’t panic even if her sword path was blocked, and pushed her forward using her shoulder.

It seemed that the purpose of the spear was to block the advantage as it only took effect when the range was used.

From noble mtl dot com

Wheek!

However, that goal was thwarted as the female student gently twisted her body.

If things go on like this, the male student will be in danger, but by quickly swinging her sword, she prevented her follow-up.

A battle that took place in less than a second. Both men clearly knew the pros and cons of their weapons.

“I’ll stop here.”

“Thank you for your hard work.”

I wanted to see a little more, but unfortunately it seems to be over.

The students who were watching the great match between the two responded with applause.

While I was wondering if I should clap, the student in front of me looked back.

The student put on a puzzled expression when I was behind her, then raised her head and looked up at me.

“So hot?!”

“··· ···”

That scream is very peculiar.

As soon as the man saw me, he let out a peculiar scream. At the same time, the eyes are turning towards me.

All of them are faces that say ‘why is he here?’. Hey, I did sneak in.

Killing signs is a habit. There was no choice but to raise the success rate of hunting even a little.

‘This is why the raid was filmed with Ex.’

Anyway, the sparring must be over, so I thought it would be better to go back.

Even if I’m here, there’s nothing I can do, and it’s a waste of time.

“Here he was. What were you doing here?”

“You really want answers from him?”

“Be quiet.”

Luna noticed my disappearance (?) Just in time and found me. Kara’s tackling is a bonus.

I looked at the cluttered arena and followed Luna.

Judging by the sounds of weapons after a while, it seems that sparring has begun.

When I looked back, this time I saw other people clashing weapons and exchanging attacks.

“Sivar? Where are you looking?”

When I stopped walking, Luna also looked towards the arena with questions.

After that, he seemed to be thinking about something, and asked me in an unbelievable voice.

“You really want to sparr?”

“What? Really?”

I don’t know about Luna, but why are you looking forward again?

I shook my head at Kara whether or not she asked, her eyes twinkling.

I want to write her words on Luna’s palm. Unfortunately, I don’t know the word ‘technology’.

“f*ck.”

So, after pointing to the students who were sparring with their weapons facing each other, they took a posture of holding swords.

Luna blinked her eyes at my gesture and opened her mouth with an exclamation of ah.

“Sword? Do you want to learn sword? Something like this?”

She took out a training sword from her waist and showed me her swordsmanship.

From light slashes to thrusts and top blocks, and so on. It is a basic swordsmanship.

Nevertheless, it was clean without any superfluities. To the extent that Kara next to her is interested.

“You’re talking about this right?”

“f*ck.”

I nodded.

But what you need to know here is that quite a few weapons are disposable the moment you hold them in your hand.

I asked because I felt I needed to know a little more than not knowing anything.

Once Luna heard my answer, she scratched her cheek with a puzzled expression.

“That… I’m sorry. It’s probably hard. I’m not good enough to teach someone.”

“f*ck?”

Why? You are the main character!

Contrary to my heart, the words that came out of my mouth were negative.

Luna is the main character of Soul World. He is a talented person who absorbs various skills even in hardships.

Maybe she didn’t know what I was feeling, or maybe she felt emotions from her voice, Luna said with a puzzled face.

“I’m sorry. Masters are teachers, but in martial arts, disciples are also important. I’m not sure you can understand my explanation.”

“f*ck.”

I can understand. I hear everything you say

When I answered with a frown as if I was frustrated, Luna opened her eyes wide in surprise.

“Sivar, are you really angry?”

“You seem frustrated rather than angry? Just let me know.

Kara quickly made a judgment (?).

Luna gave me a very suspicious look, then gave me the training sword that was installed on the weapon stand.

It was made of iron, but it was not sharp. It is literally a sword made for training.

“Anyway, why are you suddenly asking for a sword?”

“I was staring at Dalian earlier. Isn’t it because it’s cool? Like kids playing knights.”

“You said that Sivar’s intelligence is normal for my age.”

“There is a saying that a man is a child even when he grows up.”

Luna laughed at Kara’s reasonable words. It’s a look that doesn’t deny anything.

To be honest, it was cool to see the two students compete in Dalian. The figure of figuring out each other’s numbers using only technology.

In the upcoming Dalian event, much better and larger-scale techniques will appear.

“It wouldn’t hurt to develop patience at this point. Keep holding on to that.”

“f*ck?”

“My master said. The sword must be mastered first.”

It’s Luna who understood and answered. I know about her mentor.

So I had no choice but to obey without saying anything, even if I grumbled inside.

“This time I hold it with my right hand. Wasn’t he left-handed?”

“I’m sure he’s ambidextrous. In Dalian, he threw a javelin with his right hand.”

That’s it, as soon as she fell into the woods, her left arm was bitten by a wolf and she couldn’t help it.

By the time my left arm was completely healed, I could easily use my right hand as if it were my main hand.

So now we use each other alternately. At least my left hand is used to it.

“Even if you’re ambidextrous, you have a dominant hand, so you’ll have to figure it out. Left-handed would be better.”

“That would be great. Oh, will you teach me martial arts?”

“······Martial arts?”

When asked about fighting, Luna blinked her eyes. A really pure, pure country girl’s reaction.

At that, Kara raised one of her eyes and asked Luna with an unexpected expression.

“You don’t know how to fight? At least basic grappling?”

“Yes.”

“Hi-go.”

In response to her innocent answer, Kara covered her face with her hands. Luna just tilted her head.

Kara then looked back and forth between Luna and me with her hands over her face, then sighed.

A hint of frustration came out.

“I can’t. Forget everything else and learn fighting first. Before that, do you know what grappling is like?”

“I heard that it is an essential skill that fighters learn along with boxing.”

“It’s one of the essential skills for all martial arts, not just a fighter. There’s nothing like grappling, especially for improving movement and physicality.”

Kara is right.

One of the essential skills to acquire in Soul World is fighting.

You don’t have to dig deep, but you should at least master the basics.

‘If you don’t, it’s practically the end when it’s mounted.’

Especially if you get mounted by a fighter, it’s practically game over.

Even if she struggles to the end, her stamina will go down the drain if she gets punched in the face a few times.

There are two ways to get out. Get away with overwhelming physicality or use techniques.

“I mainly use a sword. Do I need to learn how to fight?”

“Didn’t you say you never played a real fight before?”

“Yes.”

“Even for that, you must learn basic fighting. Otherwise, it will end when you approach each other or fall. You can also develop a sense of balance to prevent falling.”

This is in line with the advice Marlboro gave during the morning class.

In order to prevent falling down as much as possible, buy good shoes.

In other words, the moment you meet a similar skill level, you are bound to fall down at least once.

‘In Soul World, if you attack a fallen opponent, there is a 100% chance of getting a critical hit.’

It can be said that it is really useless historical evidence.

Still, fighting has a lot of useful parts in general, so it is beneficial to acquire it.

The biggest advantage is that it greatly increases flexibility and prevents falls.

That alone made the experience very good, so it became a must in Soul World.

“I won’t fall…”

“Don’t even say that it’s okay if you don’t fall. There’s a 100% chance of a melee when people of comparable skill fight. So, are you going to learn?”

“······No.”

Is it pride? Or is it stubborn?

Luna refused with a slightly dissatisfied face at Kara’s invitation.

“I’m tight with swordsmanship, but I don’t have time to learn anything else. I’m sorry.”

“What. If that’s your choice. You won’t teach me even if I ask you to teach me later?”

“That won’t happen.”

I don’t think so.

You’ll regret it right now when you sparring with excitement.

Kara shrugged her shoulders while I thought to myself.

She then looked at me with her face that said she didn’t care at all, and she invited me in a cool tone.

“Then what about you? Why don’t you learn fighting before learning swordsmanship? Honestly, that would be better.”

“Wait a minute. Shivar decided to learn swordsmanship first. He also wanted to.”

“It’s swordsmanship, it’s Nabal, and you have to learn the movements first? I’ll teach you instead of you.”

An argument between the two started again. When are you going to be friends?

Unlike before, however, the argument ended quickly. He seems to have realized that it is a battle running on parallel lines.

“Then let’s ask Sivar. Wouldn’t that be better?”

“That would be great. What do you want to learn first?”

The choice was given to me. I alternated between Luna and Kara.

Seeing them side by side like this, I could see that the difference in physique between the two was quite large.

Luna is by no means short, but Kara is taller than most men.

Anyway, I’ll have to make a choice. I looked around at the two and moved on.

Actually, it’s been a long time since I made up my mind.

“Si, Sivar? Why…”

Luna had a look on her face in disbelief at my choice.

“Kyaa! I guess I like you better than you?”

Kara chin-placed her hand on my shoulder with her elated face.

As you can see, I chose Kara, not Luna.

Swordsmanship is also attractive, but grappling, or ‘fighting’, is a must.

‘It’s a big deal that I can’t get a weapon that can withstand my magic right now.’

As I said before, all weapons currently available are disposable to me.

Even if you learn swordsmanship or spearmanship, is there any point in destroying everything?

If that’s the case, why don’t you wield an ax that’s easy to use.

‘It’s not a reed, so I’m sorry I changed my mind.’

It could hurt Luna, but I can’t help it. I don’t know anything else, but what’s urgent is martial arts.

Just like in the battle against Porori, when you meet someone with comparable skill, you fight with your bare hands.

Of course, since it’s bare-handed, it’s not really bare-handed, but it also doubles as magical power, but it doesn’t matter.

“Now. Our cute friend? If you want to learn from your sister, throw your sword away. Okay?”

Gaining confidence, Kara tapped my arm holding her sword and said.

I listened to her and looked around. Since it’s a training ground, there must be ‘that’ too.

Meanwhile, Luna, who had an angry expression on her face, asked Kara if she noticed something strange about her.

“······Wait a minute, Kara.”

“Why? Now you’re an actor too…”

“No. Didn’t you say ‘throw it away’?”

“Yeah. But that’s…”

Kara paused her words before she stopped. She then looked at me with a puzzled expression.

But it’s been a long time since I pulled back the arm holding the sword. Then Kara hurriedly made a gesture to stop him.

Pain!

Before that, the first priority was for the sword to leave my hand. Suddenly, he threw his sword.

It was lightly thrown, but there was enough wind pressure to blow Kara’s red hair.

In the end, the training iron sword moved at a high speed.

Kwajik!

I hit the clock hanging on the wall far away.

“··· ···”

“··· ···”

The training ground, which had been noisy due to individual training, became quiet in an instant.

It seems like everyone was secretly paying attention to this.

“······I’ll go.”

“Yes, yes. I’ll have to choose my words carefully from now on.”

“It’s not Kara’s fault. It’s just…”

Luna looked at me instead of moving towards the clock where her training iron sword was inserted.

And after staring at her with complicated eyes for a while, she said with a chuckle.

“······It’s just like that.”

I’m a little sorry.

******

Luna walked weakly toward the clock, where her training iron sword was embedded.

She could hear a few nearby sounds, but she didn’t hear them at all.

The eccentricity of Shivar, who burst out of gear, is also an eccentricity, but the choice he made before that bothered me.

‘Why didn’t you choose me?’

For Luna, this is the biggest question. Why did Shivar choose Kara over himself?

She is the first to meet him with Ellie, and it is she who has learned the face while acting as his protector.

She

Even when she wanted to learn swordsmanship, she was eager to teach it. But Shivar chose Kara.

‘Why?’

I never thought that Sivar knew about martial arts. He wouldn’t even know what it was in the first place.

What the hell is missing? Luna thought about it and looked behind her.

Kara was saying something to Shivar. Shivar just stood there and listened.

Kara was as big as a grown man, but Shivar was taller. You could call her distant.

‘······Wait a minute.’

Then, something caught my eye. That’s Kara’s thick chest.

It’s not as tall as Ellie, but Kara is also quite large.

On the other hand, what about you? It’s not small, but that’s why comparing it to them makes a clear difference.

‘Could it be that he follows Ellie exceptionally well?’

In terms of appearance, they are not pushed at all. She only has a body if she has to.

A strangely persuasive hypothesis, Luna made a rough expression. She feels that her pride as a woman is being crumpled.

‘Yes. Now I understand.’

The master said this.

It is said that even when a man grows up, he has a genetically child-like aspect, so his instincts become stronger.

So I told them that it is perfectly normal for a man to be attracted to a woman with a superior figure.

Moreover, since Sivar grew up in the wild, he must be more faithful to his ‘instinct’. That’s why she might have chosen Kara.

‘What do you like about that lump of fat?’

Luna pursed her lips as everything fit together like a puzzle.

If it weren’t for the cave paintings, the guardians wouldn’t have taken it upon themselves.

Still, there could be an accident later, so I plan to continue my role as a guardian.

From noble mtl dot com

It was only for Shivar’s accident prevention, not for other reasons.

“Huh.”

Luna shook her head and walked towards her watch. It’s a bonus to snort at her.

When she finally got to the wall where the sword was, she realized that the clock was hanging quite high up.

‘About 5m.’

Luna activated the magic within her body and jumped high. In an instant, she was level with her watch.

Surprisingly, even the back of her black nose was deeply embedded. Even though she threw it roughly, her power and accuracy are extraordinary.

Suuk!

As soon as she pulled out her sword, she grabbed her watch with one hand. If she falls down, it’s difficult to deal with her back.

Luna landed softly on her floor and checked her watch. She is properly embedded in the sword and does not move.

‘Is the pattern unique?’

The pattern drawn on the watch was rather unique. At first glance, she could be mistaken for a magic circle.

Overall there was no color, only black and white.

Luna looked around her and strained her eyes to check her watch some more.

If she’s really a magic circle, it’s to check what structure she’s made of.

[Colorless magic circle: ???]

[A magic circle made without using any color]

[A magic circle created for a special purpose. There is only one who does not use color.]

[Special Effect: ???]

“?!”

Luna’s face was colored in astonishment at the contents printed in the message.

Her mouth opened slightly and her eyes widened. She was so startled that she almost dropped her watch.

There are many colors in the world. It is not a job to express the beauty of life through that color.

However, there are beings that have completely lost their color, and as Godin taught us in his lecture, they are ‘devils’.

‘Colorless instead of black and white…’

The devil was defeated in the war against the gods and was deprived of all its colors.

Instead, it exists in ‘black and white’ in order to somehow maintain its shape.

However, the fact that even black and white is color remains unchanged. That is why demons are generally heterogeneous.

This magic circle also looks like it’s drawn in black and white on the outside, but it looks blurry if you look more closely.

‘It was real that demons broke into the academy.’

Luna took her eyes off her watch with her hardened face and looked to the side of her.

Kara is drawing something with her finger on Shivar’s hand. It seems to be teaching me words.

‘Can’t this be? No, is it just a coincidence?’

Did Shivar throw his sword knowing that this was a magic circle created by the devil? Or did he throw it because he didn’t have a suitable target?

Moreover, is it true that he really painted the mural? If so, does he really know the ‘future’?

Nothing was clear, but this is certain.

Devils are targeting the academy.

“··· ···”

Luna looked at Sivar with complicated eyes.

The deeper you dig, the more suspicious he is.

I think I will be able to communicate just in time, I think I will have to ask about the identity of the mural.

“Your muscles are really strong? You can learn the technique right away without having to train physically.”

“··· ···”

Apart from that, that’s a little annoying. Luna twitched under her eyes at the sight of her eyes.

Kara was touching Shivar’s body with her hands and commenting on her.

Start with strong thighs and work your way up to abs, chest, shoulders, and so on.

In spite of the bold physical contact, Sivar stood still.

He just wanders around with his characteristic expressionless face.

‘Why are you quiet?’

Are you saying that we’ve already become that close? Just a conversation that doesn’t sound like the conversation we had in class earlier?

As Sivar lives in the wild, it is extremely sensitive to sudden physical contact.

Seeing that she was still, she seemed to think that Kara was safe.

‘······We should talk about murals when we are alone.’

In order to do that, the first thing to do is to separate it from Kara.

I emphasize again, this is to ask about the mural, not to be selfish.

Can you harbor selfish feelings for a man you’ve only known for less than a month?

Although he has a handsome face, he’s not quite there yet.

‘Watches… Let’s throw them in the trash for now.’

Luna threw the watch with the magic circle on it into the trash.

If she threw her into the incinerator right away, she might be suspected by the demons.

We need to show that all of this is purely ‘coincidence’. Otherwise it will be dangerous

“I’m here.”

“Ah. Are you here? What about the watch?”

“I couldn’t use it. So I threw it away.”

“Shouldn’t I ask for that?”

“······· Ah.”

Students are solely responsible for property damage. And Shivar is going through a period of adaptation.

In other words, it means that you may be far from normal admission.

If the president hears this, he will smile and grab his back goal.

“······Sivar.”

“?”

“You’re really… No. It’s okay.”

I feel like the future is getting darker.
