25 – Humiliation (1)

Even when Alvin was transferred to the hospital, the training did not end.

Great assistant and punching bag. No, the coach left, but the real punching bag remained.

Originally, he had no choice but to train with a punching bag next to the mitt or because the conditions were here.

f*ck! Puck! Puck!

I rammed her punches into her punching bag just as Kara taught me.

Use your back and shoulders naturally, and even use your legs when hitting a powerful blow.

At first, it felt like playing separately, so I got lost, but after hitting the punching bag hard, I got used to it at some point.

“Okay. Like that. Last but not least!”

Quaang!

Follow Kara’s words from behind and put in the final blow.

A punching bag that is much harder than others because it is filled with sand.

The punching bag hit my fist and flew backwards completely folded in half.

Ting!

A punching bag that flies far away because even the ring that was holding it firmly in place is broken. Before long, he was slumped on the floor to the point where he was miserable.

I scratched my cheek as I stared at the punching bag, which burst open in the center and spilled sand.

‘Shouldn’t have beaten him more gently.’

After Elvin was transferred to the hospital, she adjusted her strength, but it seems that was my standard.

His strength stat is 143, so I tried adjusting my strength. Most weapons can be wielded with one hand.

Moreover, because I grew up in the wild, I didn’t do anything like strength control. I didn’t feel the need to do that in the first place.

“Good job. I just need to adjust my strength from now on. It’s annoying to remove the punching bag one by one.”

Kara told me as she put away the sand bag.

Strength control is essential to prevent accidents. If you pop the punching bag every time you train, you’ll notice.

Unlike a watch, you don’t have to take responsibility if you break a training device. This is because the instrument breaks frequently.

‘But if you break too much, you’ll get a warning.’

As warnings accumulate, points are reduced. That’s why it’s not good to break the utensils even to vent your anger.

While I was thinking that, Kara brought a new punching bag.

I put it on the hook very easily even though it must be heavy because it was filled with sand.

“Okay. Let’s do it again. Always punch your legs, then your back, then your shoulders. As I mentioned earlier, only use your back and shoulders unless there’s a clear opportunity.”

An attack using the legs, that is to say, the runway, is not tolerable.

If you’re not literally using ‘power’, just use your back and shoulders. Otherwise, it’s easy to get hit back.

Tung! Tuong!

The sound has changed since I made it weaker than before. Fists don’t hurt.

I thought it would be nice to hit with this much power when I hit the punching bag from now on.

“Use your legs again!”

Boom!

The straight using the run-up was accurately inserted into the center of the punching bag.

Then, as before, the punching bag folds in half and floats away. Fortunately, the ring did not break.

Suddenly-

The problem was that the sand leaked to the point that it could never be used again. I don’t know how many times this is already.

I set the punching bag on the hook carefully on the floor. You may get a warning if you break it further.

[Skill: You have mastered boxing!]

I’m surprised.

As soon as I put away the punching bag, a message was printed in my eyes.

A message that was printed after a long time. It is also a message that you have acquired the technology.

Throwing and ambush are the only skills I have acquired so far. I was excited about the new technology.

[Boxing: F]

[The human hand is the most basic tool and weapon. But boxing isn’t just about hand-to-hand combat.]

[Depending on the grade, the power and evasion rate of bare hands increase.]

That’s a great explanation. I sighed reading the description.

It may seem unkind, but it is an explanation that contains all the essence of boxing.

If you get ground skills here, it will be sublimated into ‘fighting’.

Even though there is a long way to go, it is still a long way off. I’m glad Kara taught me well.

[The wild instinct is activated!]

What is this?

I was taken aback when I read the message that wild instincts had been triggered.

Wild instincts don’t work this way. It is triggered purely by ‘feeling’.

[Rating of boxing will rise to B!]

From noble mtl dot com

“··· ···”

How f*cking good is that?

I don’t know what the principle is, but the ratings of boxing have risen like crazy.

Originally, I tend to invest a lot of time to raise a level.

But just by getting it, my grade went up dramatically. It’s so sweet it feels like your teeth are rotting.

‘It’s not like an empty tin can, is it?’

It is not that there is nothing to worry about. I wondered if the outside was gorgeous, but the inside was just that.

In conclusion, it means that you have to go through the actual battle. You should check it later.

“It would be better to finish today’s training. Isn’t it hard?”

While I was reading the message, Kara came up to me and announced the end of her training.

I couldn’t tell what time it was because I broke the watch, but I instinctively sensed that a long time had passed.

From now on, you will be trained by Kara at every training session. I’m a little sorry that I only received it.

“You’ve been playing sandbags for hours and you haven’t broken a drop of sweat? Is your stamina really good?”

Kara was amazed to see that I was fine even after hitting a sandbag without rest.

She should have one stamina, but mine is close to 150. There is nothing to get tired of doing.

‘Luna… Ah. I guess it’s over.’

Looking at Luna, she is sitting in her seat and resting. Seeing that even the sword was put down, it seemed to be over.

I walked towards Luna, leaving Kara behind her as she was observing me.

My clothes are drenched in sweat, probably because I trained pretty hard. It’s been a long time since I took off my school uniform shirt.

Thanks to her, her slender body was exposed, but she didn’t care about that.

“Hmm? Sivar? Are you finished?”

She noticed my approach and asked me. Glancing at Kara behind her is a bonus.

I nodded her head at her question and quietly held out her hand.

At that, Luna made a puzzled expression and then gently placed her hand on it.

“f*ck.”

No. Not this.

I shook my head and Boo explained.

The way you mumble while making a gesture of putting something in your mouth.

Luna finally realized what I wanted. Oh, she said and opened her mouth.

“Candy? You want candy?”

When I mentioned what I wanted, I nodded.

I had a little (?) Accident, but from then on, I only trained quietly.

Luna seemed to ponder over my request for a moment, then she rummaged through her pockets.

“Now. Here. I had an accident, but it’s my fault, so I’ll give it to you.”

After a while, she placed the candy on my palm. As always, it is a nurungji-flavored candy.

I didn’t put the candy in my mouth right away. Instead, he turned to Kara and cautiously pushed out.

Kara looked back and forth between the candy in her palm and my face, then she pointed to herself and said.

“You want me to eat?”

It is a voice with an expression of disbelief. She also finds this unexpected.

Kara is of course today, and she is likely to teach me after Dalian.

That means that the amount of training oneself has no choice but to decrease. Training is very important.

I didn’t have anything right now, so candy is the best.

“Thank you. I’ll eat well.”

Cara, who was embarrassed at first, smiled happily and took her candy.

I felt Luna’s gaze from behind, but I tried to ignore it. It must have been a complicated face.

“You are much better than those who claim to be civilized, hey. Why are there so many people who are worse than people who have lived in the wild?”

Kara subtly takes down the rude civilized people and puts the candy in her mouth.

Then she munched to savor the unique taste of scorched ji candy.

“··· ···”

But the expression is not very good. Did you notice exactly?

Kara munched her mouth slowly and then glanced at me. I just stared.

“······The taste is a bit unique.”

Didn’t he like sweet things? Or is it that the Nurungji-flavored candy is weird?

Still, it doesn’t matter since you accepted my favor. We will continue to have a good relationship in the future.

“Did you teach this too?”

Kara munched on her scorched rice-flavored candy, and she asked Luna, who came up next to me.

Luna looked back and forth between me and Kara, her face revealing her complex state of mind.

She then opened her mouth and answered in her characteristic calm voice.

“Perhaps this was also taught by the president or Ellie. I don’t know.”

“I’m sure you taught me well.”

Ellie teaches with passion. Sometimes it’s a problem because I’m too passionate.

Road is in a position to watch from a distance, but he tends to tell me things.

Especially when Ellie wasn’t around, she would read me fairy tales or poems, so I felt like her grandfather.

“By the way, how do you think Sivar’s skills are?”

“Honestly, it’s so good that it makes me jealous. The body is strong and flexible, it absorbs everything I teach it. It lacks nothing.”

I feel ashamed for nothing at Kara’s praise. It’s Kara’s praise, not anyone else’s.

She rarely speaks out of her mouth. Even if she lies, she tends to get caught.

“The thing that stands out the most is its naturalness. It usually takes thousands of hits to make it flow like water? It really tastes like teaching.”

“Then you’ll learn other skills well, right?”

“You’ll know that once you see it. If you want, you too…”

“I will decline.”

I want to learn something. You get really beaten up after that.

Perhaps because of her self-esteem, Luna resolutely refused Kara’s invitation.

Kara doesn’t seem to care too much, she only shrugged her shoulders. She’s the one who has the advantage anyway.

“I’ll go wash up now. See you tomorrow.”

“Please enter carefully.”

“There is something I should be careful about. Ah, before that, Sivar.”

“?”

Kara called me right before she left. I faced her with an expression asking if I had anything to say.

Then she smiled softly and offered advice in her emphatic tone.

“I emphasize it, but it’s foolish to fight ‘only’ with your bare hands. Fighting is also a tool for combat. Just keep this in mind, okay?”

I opened my eyes wide. Kara once said that in Soul World.

Her condition is to get close to her. You can listen to that advice only when you steadily build up her liking.

It’s only been a day since we met, but we’re already close. It seems that the candy he gave me just before worked as a factor.

“Ac. You shouldn’t do this to a child who will fight fiercely from now on.”

She scratched her head as if she thought it would be embarrassing if she got too close.

Apart from her likability, she is always sincere when it comes to battles like Dalian.

People call him a savage because of his tendency, but it can’t be helped. This is the culture of Tatarman.

“I’ll only tell you the defense of the ground technique. I need more skilled players to learn the attack, but I can’t do anything about it now that it’s like that.”

“Ah. Right. True. Sivar? Let’s go to Mr. Alvin in a little while. I need to apologize.”

“··· ···”

It’s annoying. Still, I had to show a good feeling, so I just nodded my head without saying anything.

I can say what kind of favor it is for a male character, but he was a great ‘supplier’ in Soul World.

He is competent in various fields, as if he had obtained a children’s book or a vocabulary book at the request of the Lord.

The more the story goes on, the more money goes out, so if you have Erwin, you can ease your worries.

‘Grace is on the other side rather than watering.’

Kara left to wash up, and Luna and I headed to the hospital where Elvin was.

Fortunately, after listening to the doctor’s opinion, it was not difficult to put it on because it fell out so neatly.

She

She said instead, she said that for the time being, strenuous exercise is strictly forbidden, and she will not be able to participate in the upcoming sparring.

“Luna.”

“Yes, Mr. Alvin.”

“Today I learned what it feels like to teach an ogre how to fight.”

“··· ···”

I must have lost my arm, but it seems that my hair has gone bad.

******

It was a particularly eventful day, Luna thought.

It was fine when I brought Shivar from the forest of chaos, and then sparred with Elvin.

Because she was in a position to watch from a distance. Even if Shivar had an accident, it had nothing to do with it.

But after she became a guardian, she realized how irresponsible that was.

The moment you lose your eye or say something wrong, you get into an accident. Still, it wasn’t all that bad.

Because I realized that demons are attacking the academy, as I saw in the cave paintings. This gave her time to prepare.

Of course, she alone is not capable of stopping the demons’ plans. That’s why you need someone to be with you.

“You’ve worked hard. What happened today?”

“No big deal… Not much, but some damage to the property. Mr. Alvin’s shoulder is dislocated.”

“Even if the former is true, I’m curious about the latter.”

“Yes. As for what happened…”

After all the classes, I returned to the lodging where Rod was staying for a report.

Lord was also inside at the same time, so I was able to save myself the trouble of finding it separately.

“Sivar. What did you learn today? Write it down here.”

Ellie arrived at the dorm first. As always, Ratatosque is standing by her side.

Luna heard Ellie’s question and she looked at Sivar writing the answer in a notebook, then turned her head away.

In front of me, Rod was drinking herbal tea as usual.

“Did you say Kara? A student who wants to be a guardian while teaching Shivar.”

“Yes.”

“Can you bring me this weekend? I’d like to talk to you.”

Luna smiled bitterly inwardly. It seems that she will become the protector of Karado Shivar.

The fortunate thing is that even though Kara is belligerent, her personality is not bad.

It’s enough just to stop instilling false common sense into Shivar.

“Okay. I’ll pass it on to Kara.”

“Okay. Anything else?”

“Anything else…”

Luna slurred her words and glanced at Sivar. He is learning the language from Ellie.

It would be inappropriate for a conversation here. However, it is difficult to bring up the subject because it is in front of Road, not anyone else.

Perfect!

At that moment, Rod lightly snapped his fingers. Luna stared at him, stunned by the action.

Lord took a sip of tea and explained in a calm tone.

“I muted the sound because I thought it was going to be a pretty difficult subject. Don’t worry, we won’t be heard over there.”

At that explanation, Luna nodded her head. Since she is a person like the Sword Saint, it shouldn’t be difficult.

She glanced at Sivar, who was actively communicating with Ellie, and brought up her subject in a serious voice.

“President… Would you believe if the devil attacked the academy?”

“The devil?”

As if completely unexpected, Rod raised one of his eyes and expressed his doubts.

At best, she thought it was a similar topic to counseling, but suddenly a demon popped out. Even more so, that demon attacks the academy.

While Rod paused for a moment, Luna mentioned the magic circle she had discovered before her.

“Yes. In fact, a magic circle was found in the thing that Shivar destroyed. It is a colorless magic circle.”

“Hmm…”

“Demons have lost their color, so they are all colorless. They only maintain their form in black and white, but everything else is known to be unusable.”

Rod listened to Luna’s explanation and nodded her head. Colorlessness is a typical characteristic of demons.

“You’re right. Demons can’t use or have any color except black and white. But they’re half right and half wrong.”

“It sounds like demons can have or use color…”

“Rainbow colors, so they are divided into red, orange, green, and yellow. Red is the lowest, and purple is the highest.”

“Why is it rainbow colored?”

“I’m not sure about that. But it is said that the rainbow was the first thing that appeared when the world was born. It must have something to do with that.”

I think I’ll have to look for related books later. Luna made that promise.

Meanwhile, Rod tugs his mustache as if he had much to think about. I don’t know if it’s a plague, but it’s a devil.

The main cause of the establishment of the United Academy, but an existence whose meaning has faded over time.

I couldn’t believe that such an existence suddenly attacked the academy.

“I also met a colored demon when I was a savage. It was a blue demon.”

“Were you strong?”

“I felt very strong for myself at the time. But that was 30 years ago. But the academy is a demon…”

If demons really attack the academy, they can’t get over it easily. But at the same time I have my doubts.

Why do demons attack the academy? What are the benefits?

If you go too far, you may be branded as a public enemy and thoroughly trampled on.

“Hmm…”

Rod tugged at her mustache and looked at Luna. Blue eyes shining straight.

She doesn’t think she’s lying. It’s just that it’s such an absurd topic that it just doesn’t touch me.

“What magic circle did you find?”

“I threw it in the trash. I thought it would be suspicious if I threw it straight into the incinerator.”

“You’re careful. But how did you know it was a demon’s magic circle?”

“··· ···”

At that question, Luna shut her mouth. It wasn’t a secret, it was because of the thought that Lord would believe it.

She has special eyes since she was born. How he came to have these eyes is completely unknown.

Rod looked at Luna’s complicated face and nodded her head as if he noticed something in her.

“Everyone has secrets. I’ll trust you.”

“Then…”

“But I don’t fully believe it.”

At her firm words, Luna approached to brighten up. Afterward, Rod crossed her legs and brought out her reason.

“It sounds so absurd that I can’t help it. So I want you to show me the evidence.”

“Evidence…”

“The colorless magic circle you said you discovered today. Or something related to demons. This should be enough.”

It must be very difficult. Luna smiled bitterly at her.

What I found this time was also found by chance. If Sivar hadn’t thrown his sword at the clock, he wouldn’t have known.

But from now on I have to find it alone. I expected it to be quite an arduous adventure.

“If you convince me, I will lend you my strength as far as I can.”

“Are you sure you won’t let others know? The President’s own investigation…”

“If that happens, the devil might notice and delay or scrap the plan. Or vice versa. What matters now is not the ‘why’ but the ‘when’.”

It doesn’t matter for what purpose the demons attack the academy. But when is the key.

Even if you prepare enough, it will be a headache if you don’t know the timing. So, when is the most important?

‘Shiva is…’

Luna looked at Sivar when she was told that she needed to know when. He is still learning to read from Ellie.

Wouldn’t she also know when he painted the mural? I thought so.

Of course, this is speculation. This can only be aimed at when he is alone with Shivar.

“Cough! Cough!”

Then Rod coughed dryly. When Luna heard the cough, she was startled.

Because of his age, Rod often coughs, but it seems to have gotten worse today.

“Are you okay?”

“hehehe. Don’t worry.”

Rod held out her hand and calmed her Luna. And she immediately picked up the teacup and brought it to her mouth.

No. She was trying to get it right.

Tup-

Until Shivar appeared without a trace and grabbed the teacup.

Luna and Rod were surprised by Shivar who appeared out of nowhere for a while, and had no choice but to open their mouths at his actions that followed.

Clink!

Because he quickly snatched the teacup from Lord’s hand and tossed it against the wall.

The teacup colliding with the wall is shattered, and the contents inside run down the wall.

Sivar’s eccentricity happened so quickly that even Lord was taken aback.

Besides, he took out the teacup even though he obviously strained his hand. I lost my strength because of the cough, but it is surprising that it is surprising.

From noble mtl dot com

“What are you doing, Sivar! What’s wrong with you all of a sudden!”

It was Ellie who was even more flustered. She had been studying until now, and Sivar took an unexpected action.

When no one else could understand his actions, Sivar scribbled in his notebook with a pen.

After a while, he showed everyone what he had written.

[Drink. Approximately. Sick.]

It still shows hopeless writing skills. But this is also advanced enough.

Luna looked at what Sivar had written and narrowed her eyes, then in a voice she couldn’t understand, she asked.

“Drinking medicine and being sick? What do you mean?”

“You’d better explain in detail. Please don’t scold me.”

Next to Luna, Rod sternly urged. Even if it was once, more than that needed an explanation.

Sivar blinked at their reaction before checking the note.

“f*ck?”

Sivar opened his eyes wide as if he realized that he had written a wrong note belatedly.

He corrected it with a pen and showed it again.

[Drink. Poison. Sick.]

Only the word changed from medicine to poison, but the overall sentence remained the same.

Luna read the words and looked at Rod. He must have known that it was a medicinal herb that he decocted and drank himself.

However, Rod put his hand on his forehead and was troubled.

“Haa······ Sivar. Just because it is bitter doesn’t necessarily mean it is poison. On the contrary, there is even a saying that bitter medicine is good for the body.”

“··· ···”

“It looks like it couldn’t block the smell. It’s originally such a technique, but…”

It seems that even though the sound is blocked, the smell is not blocked. Sivar, who smelled it, mistook it for poison and threw the teacup at it.

But unlike Rod, Luna was uneasy. What if that herb is poison, not medicine, as Shivar said?

When she thought about that, she asked Rod with a cautious look. Of course, it’s about the source of the herb.

“Where did that herb come from?”

“I’m a single doctor, a medical doctor in charge of internal medicine at a hospital.”

Then you can trust it. Most of the personnel in the academy are well-known figures in the country.

If such a person is the devil’s nemesis, the academy could have been overthrown long ago.

“f*ck…”

Sivar scratched his head at the sign that it was simply going to happen. It’s a look that doesn’t work out well.

It was about time I wrote something in my notebook to explain somehow.

“Hey. Is this poison?”

The voice heard for the first time pierced everyone’s ears. It’s sharp, but other than that, it’s a normal male voice.

Lord has a deep, resonant voice, so he didn’t say that. Not even Sivar.

Then who the hell said that?

“mmm, it is poison. It looks like an herb, but my mouth can’t be fooled.”

“·······?”

The voice came from the teacup, that is, the wall where Shivar threw the teacup.

Everyone’s eyes turned to that direction, and they were able to catch a very familiar large squirrel in their eyes.

“······Ratatosk?”

Porori, or Ratatosque, was eating herbs that were drooping like seaweed stems.

He was munching on herbs for a while and then hey! He spat and wiped his mouth with his foreleg.

“If you don’t want to die, don’t eat this. He’s a strong human being, so he lasted a long time.”

And he said.

These words definitely came out of Ratatosque’s mouth. That’s what the animal said.

When everyone was dumbfounded in an unbelievable situation, only one person opened his mouth.

“······f*cking?”

It was Shivar.

His normally expressionless face was really worth seeing. I wonder if the feeling of not being able to believe was fully revealed.

Since Ratatosque said something he couldn’t even do, it was a natural reaction.

“Yes, you fool. I can speak.”

As if he had understood Sivar’s words, Ratatosque confidently replied.

Soon after, he walked proudly in front of Sivar and asked a question that showed his sincerity.

“But why can’t you talk? I do it in a few days.”

Today, Shivar was defeated by Ratatosque or Porori in a different way.

“You can’t be crazy, are you?”

I tasted the same humiliation as when I first fell into the forest.
