A Wild Man Has Entered the Academy

29 – Dalian (2)

If the academy collapse part is the turning point of difficulty, Dalian is the turning point of training.

The growers are different depending on what results they produce in sparring and what battle patterns they show.

As I said before, you don’t have to choose a breeder unconditionally. If it doesn’t suit your inclination, there’s no problem if you choose another path.

However, the difference between having and not having fosterers is very large. I don’t know if it’s a multi-run, but if you go without a nurturer when you’re a first-timer, your growth will stop.

‘Status doesn’t really matter.’

For nobles, nationality doesn’t mean much to commoners. A place where you can eat well and live well is your homeland.

Therefore, what fosterers are aiming for are commoners who show talent and prominence. Luna, who entered as the top student, is the best example.

In the distant past, the United Academy has long been transformed into an institution where numerous countries compete.

It is comforting, not comforting, that wars between countries are being suppressed, but it is a ticking time bomb that may explode at any moment.

During the academy collapse part, even the last bastion collapsed and became a mess. Now is a peaceful time.

‘It would be nice to develop like a sport, but there’s no way.’

Originally, war occupies half of human history.

It’s a shame because there was a public enemy called the devil.

Besides, one of the empires advocates expansionism, so talented people are raking in all they can.

By now you must have known that Luna was a commoner and prepared in advance. Although, due to Luna’s personality, she wouldn’t go there.

‘Only words are breeders, it’s a faction choice.’

Each breeder belongs to a different country, and of course, the training method changes depending on the choice.

If you choose a country that values honor and fairness, you can raise your honor, but learning skills is slow.

On the other hand, if you choose a country that values strength, the speed of acquiring technology is fast, but it is difficult to obtain honor.

In addition to

, There are various options, and depending on the selection, various training methods will be selected.

‘The tea party was really fun.’

If it’s a multi-session, you can see the powers trying to take them somehow.

Of course, multiple episodes are fixed due to their nature, so nurturing is meaningless. I’m just looking at the choices.

So there are many people who would rather dig a new game and build it from scratch. You can also check new routes in between.

“Looks like the Granada Empire over there.”

While I was thinking about the breeder, Rod’s self-talk came into my ears.

I heard the words and turned my gaze in the direction he was looking.

Unlike the regular seats, several people were having a conversation in the well-trimmed spectator seats.

There is one person who stands out among them. A man with a thick body and a formidable impression.

‘Ah. That person.’

I don’t know about other people, but I remember that man clearly. One of the breeders

As you can tell by looking at his size, he is a breeder who knows how to use ‘power’.

‘Because that’s the Granada Empire, on the other side…’

I turned my head toward the audience on the opposite side. As expected, people with completely different atmospheres gathered.

If the Granada Empire is heavy and serious, the people I see are generally calm and lofty.

Unlike the Granada Empire, which values strength, the Matra Empire pursues honor and justice. It is the homeland of Alvin and Grace.

‘It looks like the breeder hasn’t come yet.’

There were some familiar faces, but the main fosterers are nowhere to be seen. You’ll find out later.

Aside from that, various people gathered, but it’s not important right now. What’s important is the confrontation in the future.

Now I’m sitting in the VIP seat with Rod. Perhaps because of this, I was able to see the overall appearance of the training ground, unlike the general spectator seats.

‘It’s a special training ground, so it’s very wide.’

This kind of modifier is always attached when describing the area. It’s the size of a football field.

The general arena is not that big, but the special arena boasts the size of a soccer field.

Accordingly, the size of the audience is also very large. Enough to accommodate all the academy students.

However, the real value of the special arena is the arena. All you see now is a plain, ordinary dirt floor.

If sparring starts in a while, that dirt floor will change into various environments.

‘Did you say it was a fusion of magic and science?’

I don’t know the principle, so let’s just say that and move on. This is a fantasy world, so common sense doesn’t work.

Anyway, without further ado, I sat quietly next to Rod and waited for the sparring to begin.

From the first match, a tremendous event has been held. A confrontation between the entrance chief and the savage.

This means that Luna and Kara sparred with each other from the first match.

‘Kara will win.’

I waited in silence, munching on the scorched candy the road gave me.

To be honest, I want to eat something other than candy. Like a cold beer.

‘Come to think of it, you’ve never been here to drink before?’

It was around the time I was munching on candy while thinking about that.

“Here you are.”

At the back where Rod and I were sitting, someone started talking to us. It is a very deep and serious voice.

I was aware that someone was approaching, so I turned around without thinking.

“You had a hard time finding it. Inspiration.”

“Hmm. I didn’t have to come here.”

A coolly thrown off top and a leather cloak that was roughly covered over it. Bottoms that are more like skirts than pants.

The clothes reminiscent of ancient Egypt are also the clothes, but the tanned skin and red hair stand out among them.

“Looks like you’ve gotten older since I haven’t seen you.”

“You still have the habit of walking around with your top uncovered.”

Hair grown like a lion’s mane and a well-groomed beard gave off a strong impression.

A look that a stranger would call a ‘savage’. However, if I said that to that man, my waist would be folded in half.

“But this person… Is this what I’ve been told?”

“Let’s just say it’s true.”

“Doesn’t the bright red eyes make you feel like a human? Aren’t they really beasts?”

“Even if it looks like that, Shibar is actually a human.”

After hearing Lord’s answer, the red-haired man looked at me as if observing. I also looked at him.

I couldn’t find any resemblance to Kara, but her red hair and green eyes were as clear as it was.

‘I don’t think that’s what you meant.’

I replied to myself and looked the man up and down. The whole body is full of muscles.

Kara is also tall enough to be similar to an adult man. You’ll know where that gene came from by looking at this man.

In addition, the exposed skin was full of scars, as if to prove that he had gone through numerous fierce battles.

Kara’s biological father and King of Tatar, Hector.

Another name is like this.

“Have you broken anything on the way?”

“Ibosho, old man. I’m a decent king now. If I destroy something carelessly, I’ll be annoyed for nothing.”

“Your personality died a lot. When was the last time you ran into me?”

“That’s more than 10 years old.”

The King of Destruction, Hector.

This nickname was obtained while plundering and destroying countless cities and towns before Tatar became an official state.

As you can guess from his nickname, King of Destruction, he is an amazing human being.

Furthermore, it has advanced techniques, so it’s like a walking human tank.

However, apart from its great fighting power, its ‘enlightenment’ is low, so its depth itself is low.

It would be easier to see him as just a human who has won victory in battle.

“Can I sit here?”

“Only the president can sit here.”

“What is that guy?”

“It’s because I’m protecting him. Don’t talk nonsense and go to your reserved seat. If you don’t want to be politically noisy.”

“Eh…”

Unlike the terrifying title, it is characterized by being somewhat frivolous and talkative.

In fact, most Tatars are rather talkative. This is a unique Tatar culture and Kara is the same.

‘The problem is that while chatting, you do everything you need to do.’

That means splitting the opponent’s head while chatting.

Of course, it’s not always loud, and when it’s serious, it’s infinitely serious.

Recall that Hector’s title is ‘King of Destruction’. His powerlessness is real.

“Okay. I’ll have to go to the Gradana Empire.”

“Do you hate the Matra Empire?”

“You bastards look down on me for being a savage, but it’s amazing if I don’t get out with my fists. Ah, before that…”

Hector met my eyes before leaving. There is deep curiosity in his green eyes.

Then he grinned, revealing white teeth, then pointed at me and opened his mouth.

“Have a good fight with my daughter. I’ll keep an eye on her.”

“··· ···”

Saying that, Hector turned and walked towards the crowd.

Befitting his size, his back teeth are no joke. How could that be a human body?

“No need to worry. It’s just a greeting.”

It was a bit rough for greetings. I thought so.

Even while the unexpected meeting was taking place, the audience gradually filled up with students and officials.

I thought it would be difficult to fill it up because of the scale, but it was filled to the point of being close to full before I knew it.

Anyway, it was a sparring between the head of the admissions department and the barbarian princess, so I couldn’t help but pay attention.

‘How far will Kara and I go?’

It was around the time I thought about it.

“Come. Come.”

“That woman is that? The head of admission. That’s…”

“Barbarian princess. Look at her skin for sure.”

The crowd, which was already noisy, became a little more noisy.

As I was concentrating on the arena to find out why, I was sure it was different.

Luna and Kara, each equipped with their own weapons, were entering.

[Please be seated as the Dalian will begin soon.]

As soon as the broadcast came out, a translucent curtain began to cover the arena.

The shock mitigation device is in operation to prepare for an unexpected situation.

Soon, the membrane completely covered the arena and turned transparent.

[We will create a battle environment.]

As another broadcast came out, a change occurred in the fighting arena within the curtain.

The ground, which was nothing but hard soil, glowed blue and gradually changed the terrain.

However, nothing came out. It doesn’t seem to change much.

[Environment creation is complete.]

[The Dalian environment is plain.]

[We will start sparring in a moment.]

The blue light disappeared and Luna and Kara’s battleground unfolded before my eyes.

A plain filled with green grass. If it’s normal, it’s a normal Dalian environment.

Even though there are small rocks everywhere, they don’t seem to have a big impact on Dalian.

‘The game will be decided by basic skills.’

It is a plain that blocks most of the variables. The only variable is rocks and walls.

However, given the size of the arena, it would be difficult to drive them into the wall.

[We will start sparring in 5 seconds.]

[5······ 4······· 3······· 2·······]

The big event finally begins. I want to eat some popcorn, but is there anywhere?

I looked around for a long time to see if there was anything to eat. People in the stands are already holding something to eat.

[·······1. I will start sparring.]

I heard the broadcast that the Dalian has started, but we won’t fight recklessly. In the beginning, I’ll just explore.

What’s important right now is popcorn or snacks. But no matter how much I searched, it was hard to find.

“Is there anything you’re looking for?”

Rod, who sensed my strange behavior(?), Called me. I nodded and opened my mouth.

“Liver. Meal.”

“Snacks?”

“Sim. Sim.”

I pointed to my mouth and used the expression that my mouth was bored. Then, Rod’s expression darkened.

I bet you didn’t know I would use this expression. Snacks cannot be given up on the Gakkuljam spectacle.

“Didn’t you give me the candy earlier?”

No. Not that.

I shook my head and spoke again.

“Everything else.”

“Ask for another snack?”

“Yes.”

Are we finally talking! It was when I had such expectations.

Rod seemed to think for a long time, but soon settled in a stern voice.

“That doesn’t work.”

“Why!”

“If you can’t, then you can’t.”

Maybe it’s because it could be a bad habit. It is a fairly plausible hypothesis.

It’s the same with Ellie, sometimes she thinks of me as too childish.

‘It’s not that I don’t understand, but…’

I protested vigorously, glaring at Rod. I didn’t say anything, but the doctor must have been sufficiently conveyed.

However, Rod pressed on with a stern expression.

“Focus on Dalian for now. I’ll give you something to eat later.”

“No. Uh.”

“Use it. If it doesn’t work, it won’t work.”

“Liver. Meal.”

“Why is he doing this?”

It was when we were in the middle of a quarrel.

Awesome!

Suddenly, the noise of strong metal clashing with iron pierced my ears. It is the noise heard in the arena.

At this, I stopped protesting against the road and turned my head to the arena.

‘Why is he lying down?’

And I could see Luna lying on the floor.

I didn’t faint when I saw that I couldn’t hear the broadcast separately. It just seems to have been pushed out of power.

Or get beaten up. Even from a distance, I could see the bewildered expression on his face.

“Whoa… I missed it. Sounds like a pretty important deal…”

“··· ···”

I felt sorry for nothing, so I kept my mouth shut.

******

Luna, who was the head of admissions and showed her talent early on, was confident.

No matter how strong Kara is, if you fight with swordsmanship, not fighting, you will be able to secure victory.

In the case of Shibar, he was not included in the category because he was a strong person outside the standard, but Kara was not. She thought she could win.

‘I don’t understand.’

Why was Kara so confident? Why did Sivar choose Kara over himself?

I couldn’t understand it, but it was a trick that made me realize that it was a wrong idea.

If that happens, Sivar will be able to see it with new eyes. He will admit that his intuition is wrong.

‘I’m not trying to teach you, but…’

She can’t live by trusting only her intuition forever. His own master said so.

Intuition is very important to a warrior, but if you blindly trust it, it’s said that one day you’ll be in big trouble.

Sivar has been living in the wild, so this tendency is strong. So he intends to change it at this time.

“Hey. Can the academy be like this? The world is so amazing.”

Opposite her, Kara looked around her curiously.

The floor, which had only dirt, turned into a green plain. Luna couldn’t help but agree with this.

But now we are in Dalian. Luna took a closer look at Kara, who was playing by touching the ground.

Unlike her self-training, Kara is lightly armed. The coolness of her abdomen was the same.

‘Armed is… A sword and a one-handed axe.’

A curved sword with a curved black blade. One of the main weapons used by the Tatar people.

The one-handed ax appeared to be a secondary weapon. Kara has strong muscle strength, so she must be using it.

‘I heard that if she loses consciousness, her bracelet will form a protective shield.’

Luna glanced at her bracelet mounted on her arm. If she loses consciousness completely, the shield automatically activates.

I also know that it activates automatically when a vital point is hit or stabbed.

So she can fight to her heart’s content. It is a sparring that was held in the first place to show off one’s skills.

‘I have to win.’

Luna gripped her sword firmly with both her hands. In Dalian, she can bring any weapon she wants.

In the meantime, Kara grasped her place in the arena, and she looked straight ahead with her smile.

While Kara was relaxed, Luna was quite nervous.

“Why are you so nervous? It’s sparring, sparring. Let’s have fun together.”

“······It’s only you.”

“Is that so? Tatar is a kind of game in Dalian. It’s a culture that came naturally as we often fought in real battles.”

Who asked that? Luna narrowed her eyes.

Some people are sincere, while others just chatter and do nothing.

That would also show off your composure. Maybe that’s why the tantrum rose little by little.

“You talk too much.”

“Hmm. Is that so?”

“Yes.”

“Sorry. Sorry. This is a habit. I’ll call it culture.”

The cool smile made me feel like a mischievous person. The white teeth and bronzed skin contrasted with each other.

Just as Luna was about to get angry, Kara acted with her cool smile on her face.

Jeobeok- Jeobeok- Jeobeok-

“Anyway, I told you before. If you ignore fighting, you’ll be in trouble.”

“··· ···”

“I’ll teach you what a real fight is. First…”

Kara, who had come close to Luna before she knew it, held her sword high. Luna raised her sword upward in anticipation of her next attack.

She held her sword blade with one hand for easier defense.

Awesome!

It was as expected. Kara struck her with the curved sword she held high.

The sound of steel colliding strongly creates tinnitus. Still, it’s an easy defense.

Luna then smiled and attempted a counterattack as she had been taught by her master.

No. Exactly what I was trying to do.

Wow!

“Damn it…!”

Until Kara’s cool side kick hits Luna’s stomach.

An attack with one leg as the pivot and twisting the body naturally.

Luna was aiming for a gap where she had lost her strength for her counterattack.

“Ugh…!”

Luna’s model flew behind me and fell ridiculously. Because it was a sudden attack, she couldn’t even respond.

How did such a kick come out naturally in that situation? Falling to her floor, Luna barely lifted her head.

Her pain stupefied her mind, but as her master taught her, she did not take her eyes off her foe.

She then raised her head and she could see Kara slowly walking towards her in her eyes.

“How is it? Oh, no.”

The image of Kara who is still grinning.

“Doesn’t it feel real yet?”

It was more than enough to instill in Luna her insecurities.
