37 – King of Destruction (1)

The sparring event is over. The results were not very different from what I knew.

The only difference is that there were many people who applied for sparring with Luna. Seeing that she was overwhelmingly defeated by Kara, she said she had many challengers.

Of course I brushed it off. Kara was too strong, but Luna was never weak. Thanks to that, it was a fairly easy sparring for Luna.

“Then what happens to the points? I don’t care if it’s a point or something, but you’re not.”

“Maybe my sister will be higher than me? It seems that the defeat is big.”

After the sparring, we were given free time. I only had one day to say it was free time.

Well, the next day is the weekend, so it’s the same as resting for quite a while. So I had a meeting with Kara.

You know, to take Kara to Lord and get her permission. From now on, Kara will also take responsibility as my guardian.

As for responsibility, it’s enough if you don’t commit violence recklessly. Even if they use violence, they will turn to those who are inferior to beasts.

“Oh. And you better bring candy.”

“Candy? Could it be that the scorched rice flavor that Sibar gave me then?”

Kara seemed to be quite impressed with the scorched rice candy as she said it with a puzzled expression. It’s definitely a taste that makes you like or dislikes.

“No. You don’t have to give me that. I’ll just eat anything sweet.”

“Really? Okay. I thought he liked the candy.”

“Okay. Ah.”

I replied yes. I ate too much, so my taste buds are just right for it.

Then Kara looked at me with a mysterious expression. Again, she doesn’t hate scorched rice candy.

“······First of all, I’ll do something I like sweet things. Rice has to be served at a buffet every day, right? Looking back, I ate a lot.”

“Yes. Otherwise, I won’t be able to afford the food.”

“Sometimes you have to buy something nice. I’ll take care of it.”

“Are you okay with money?”

Luna asked with half surprise and half worry. Considering the amount of food I eat, that reaction is natural.

He usually boasts of an absurd amount of food, but on days when he uses magic, it increases exponentially.

Recently, I haven’t had to use mana, so it’s okay, but it will slowly increase. Food expenses will increase accordingly.

But Kara, as if not to mind her, waved her hand and responded with her characteristic cool smile.

“Don’t worry. Even if I look like this, I’m a princess. I have a lot of money.”

“How many?”

“You can just say that there are so many that they will rot. Korea makes a lot of money.”

As explained before, the Tatars developed trade with geographical advantage. First of all, it is sandwiched between the Matra Empire and the Granada Empire.

Originally, to go through the shortest distance, you have to go through the Tatar region, but then you will be plundered by the Tatar people.

After the establishment of the country, it was skillfully used to develop it into a trade business.

In addition, the Tatar peoples escort them directly, so the trade industry has no choice but to develop naturally.

“So don’t worry about money. If you want, I’ll lend it to you once or twice.”

“Sister…”

“You have to pay it back.”

“Eh?”

Luna showed a unique reaction when asked to repay her emotions for a while. Her pretty face is cutely distorted.

Kara also explained clearly with a giggle as she expected it.

“I’m sorry, but like me, the Tatars are meticulous about money calculations. I don’t know anything else, but nothing is as easy to lose trust as money.”

“So what if I borrow money and don’t pay it back?”

“You just donate and move on. In exchange, you lose trust in that person forever.”

It also happens in Soul World. If you borrow money from Kara and don’t pay it back, her likability goes down like a roller coaster.

This is one of the reasons why Kara, unlike Alvin, is far away from the role of a purveyor. If nothing else, her money calculation is thorough.

“Sivar.”

“Huh?”

Kara called me while I was walking with that thought in mind. She looked at her with her doubts about this.

“You don’t know what money is?”

“Money?”

“Yeah. Something like this.”

Kara then shows me something. She was holding the round object with her index finger and thumb.

Overall, it is a silver item. In the center are figures and figures.

One of the globally used currencies in Soul World.

‘Come to think of it, I also need to save money.’

I had completely forgotten about it because I had never lived while spending money.

I was in a situation where I completely lost my sense of money because everyone around me paid for it.

“Looking at his expression, he doesn’t seem to know. If I collect these things, it will be easier later, so I know that. Got it?”

“Yes.”

“I hear you can make money hunting or gathering herbs?”

This is a question that Kara put to Luna. Luna nodded her head at the question.

“Yes. I also tend to go to the forest to gather herbs every weekend. I met Shivar by chance at that time.”

“Shouldn’t Sivar find a lot of good game?”

“Hmm…”

Luna’s gaze turned to me, probably because it made a lot of sense. You seem a little worried

I know that even the mankey he killed to save Ellie boasts a pretty high price.

“I’ll think about that slowly. I don’t know that Sivar is money yet.”

“Then I’ll help you to some extent until then. You can just ask me to pay you back with my body later.”

Isn’t that a significant point of misunderstanding? I think he said to solve it by hunting, but the nuance is like that.

Luna also nodded her head, then paused, as if she noticed something strange about her. And eh? She sees Kara with a shout.

“······Sister?”

“Why?”

“That’s just…”

“What do you mean…”

Kara reacted as if she had done something wrong, then she stiffened. It seems that he realized it now.

Then her face slowly turned red and she glanced at me. I was just dumbfounded.

At times like this, it’s best to pretend you don’t know. You’d think you wouldn’t really know.

But the embarrassing thing is the same, Jirakara cleared her throat and quietly explained.

“······It’s not like that, so don’t think strangely, okay?”

“Doesn’t Sivar even know what that means?”

“Then why did you say that! Confusing people!”

“There are people who listen.”

“Who!”

“Me.”

Kara lost her words at Luna’s confident answer. I mean, it’s so unique.

Kara also pursed her lips before she laughed dejectedly. Her reaction is that she lost.

“It’s okay. It only hurts to say it. But where is Sivar living?”

“We’re almost there. There you go.”

She arrived at her residence with an appropriate turn of events. It is now used as my residence, not the president’s office.

It is said that the president’s office is located in the main building, but Lord also works here. Instead, I’m also taking classes, so I don’t run into them.

“Is the president staying here too?”

“Yes.

Smart tok tok-

Luna knocked lightly. Then I felt the presence of someone approaching from behind.

Kikik-

“Ah. Are you here?”

“Yes. Is anyone else inside?”

“No. Ellie is currently in class.”

Rod opened the door himself and greeted us. I don’t even have a secretary, so I come out myself.

Kara also made a surprised expression, probably not knowing that he would come out in person.

“You must be a Tatar princess. Your name is…”

“Feel free to call me Kara.”

“Okay. Student Kara. Come inside.”

Rod opened the door wide and let us in. As soon as I entered, I was greeted with a unique scent.

Since it’s a place where two men live, I usually burn incense to block out the smell of a single parent.

“Is there anything you’d like to drink?”

“No. It’s okay. I’ll just say something and go back anyway.”

At Lord’s invitation, Kara shook her hands and refused. It seems that he thought it was rude up to that point.

Rod didn’t recommend anything, instead he prepared a set of tea and light refreshments.

Even Kara had no choice but to keep an eye on her because the president, even a great swordsman, was preparing it himself.

She eventually caught her eye and tried to help, but Rod held out her hand and stopped her.

“This is the house where Shivar and I live. As a landlord, it’s only natural to welcome guests.”

“But…”

“Isn’t there a culture of welcoming guests in Tatar too? So sit still.”

Rod talked with a smile, and Kara had no choice but to sit down without saying anything.

She looks like she has become a gentle sheep in front of Rod, as if she had proudly stepped forward to become my protector.

“So, you want to be Shivar’s guardian?”

After a while, after finishing all the settings, Rod sat down on a chair and opened the topic.

Kara, who was eating a piece of her biscuit, hurriedly shoved the question into her mouth.

“Gulp! Yes. As you may have heard, I also want to be Sivar’s protector.”

“I heard that a student is helping Sivar train. Do you want to continue training after becoming a guardian?”

“Exactly.”

“May I ask why you are helping me?”

As if Kara expected that question, she opened her mouth in an unchanging tone. It’s like having a job interview.

“At first, it was just curiosity. So I thought it didn’t matter whether it worked or not. But after sparring, I changed my mind.”

“How has it changed?”

“It’s too wasteful to use that power at random.”

“··· ···”

If it is a Tatar answer, it is a Tatar answer. Normally, I would have said that that power is too dangerous, so I will teach you to exercise moderation.

But Kara did the complete opposite. It seems that Rod doesn’t mind whether he predicted this or not.

“It’s too inefficient. It’s good to believe in your strong body and charge, but if you do that, you’ll get a serious nose injury later. You need to know how to ‘overpower’.”

“You could accidentally kill someone, so let me tell you how to control it. You mean?”

“It’s roughly the same.”

“I’m not saying you shouldn’t use force.”

As Rod said. Kara said she would teach me how to be moderate, but she didn’t tell me not to use it.

If you are steady, you are steady, and if you are violent, you are violent. She nodded her head to see if she knew Karadoi.

“You know the President, right? It’s just a matter of level, but using force is the same.”

“I agree. But in civilization, violence is not easily tolerated.”

“I get what you’re talking about. But I’m not just going to commit violence. I’ll keep that in mind.”

“That’s enough. You seem to have learned well from Hector.”

“··· ···”

When Rod mentioned Hector, Kara paused momentarily. But I didn’t deny it.

As he said, most of Kara’s thoughts were learned from Hector. Advice that power should not be used recklessly.

At the same time, it is also the reason Kara hates Hector. She usually learned from watching Hector, but changed her mind in the middle and forced her again.

“······I don’t know anything else, but I agree with this.”

“Okay. Then…”

Kung kung kung-

Someone knocked before Rod could speak. It’s a pretty rough knock.

If he had been Professor Elina, he would have just tapped. But that’s downright rough.

“I’m leaving.”

“······That’s right.”

Luna got up from her seat and headed for her door. She gave permission in a low voice.

Looks like he already knows who came. Since each of them was a swordsman, he must have figured out who he was even with his presence.

This is the same for me. It was difficult to figure out who it was with the presence of a person, but for now, I felt one thing.

It’s f*cking big.

Kikik-

“Who… Huh Eok?!”

Luna didn’t open her mouth but was frightened. She seemed quite surprised to stagger backwards.

That’s also true, because the person in front of the door was ridiculously large. He was about two heads taller than a grown man.

The visitor looked at her Luna and made her puzzled expression, then she looked at the people behind him. She then looked at us and asked in a ‘polite’ tone.

“Could you excuse me?”

“As long as you don’t break something.”

“That must be a bit difficult.”

Kara’s biological father and the king of Tatar.

The King of Destruction, Hector, unexpectedly visited the office of the president.

“······Father? Why is your father······?”

At the appearance of a completely unexpected visitor, Kara muttered with a bewildered expression.

Meanwhile, Hector came inside, bowing his head. The height of the door is small because he is so tall.

Hector then looks around the house where Rod and I live. I thought it was okay, so I nodded my head.

“It’s not bad. Are you living here with the old man and that kid?”

“That’s right. Don’t just stand there. Sit down.”

“Then without hesitation.”

Teouk-

Hector sat down on the chair at the invitation of the Lord. He sat next to Kara.

And also across from me. Naturally, my gaze and Hector’s gaze crossed each other.

The eyes that were still looking at me were full of interest. But today something is different.

What can I say? Is it an openly provocative look? Anyway, yes.

“Put down that ax behind your back, but. If anyone sees it, they’ll know you’re here to fight.”

“Look at me. I’ll be going back to Tartar soon anyway.”

“It’s a weapon that returns easily even if dropped into the sea.”

“I’m bored without this.”

The atmosphere got a bit heavy with Hector’s appearance, but it went surprisingly well.

Luna, who had been watching in front of the door, also brought the remaining chair and sat next to me carefully.

“······So, why did you come?”

As Hector was chatting with Rod, Kara opened her mouth. At present, the situation seems dissatisfying.

From noble mtl dot com

Well, from her point of view, Hector suddenly invaded, so she could be angry. But she also had something to say to Hector.

“I’ll tell you in advance, I’m looking for him, not you. I have something to check.”

“Why Shibar?”

“I like his strength, and most of all, his bright red eyes.”

It’s red eyes. I unconsciously fumbled my eyes.

Red eyes shining brightly. This is a symbol of ‘broadness’ that monsters might have.

The condition for the berserk to be activated is when you are in a dying state. In the past, I almost died whenever I had a chance, so the berserk was often activated.

Now, it’s okay after gaining guts, but it’s still dangerous. It was also activated in the fierce battle with Porori.

“I’ll have to ask you if you understand people. Did you say Shivar?”

“··· ···”

“Are you a beast pretending to be a man, or a man with the powers of a beast?”

Seriously, serious question. And it is a question that clearly sees through who I am.

To be honest, I cannot answer that question. Because wild instincts were making me like a beast.

Moreover, due to their extremely low faith, they cannot even speak the language properly. Literally, a beast in human form.

“I wouldn’t have said anything if anyone else had gotten close to my daughter. But… You’re too dangerous.”

“Up. Hum?”

“Yes. Danger. If those red eyes were real, you’d never be able to permeate civilization. In a crisis, you’d lose your temper and become a beast. And every time.”

“··· ···”

Exactly. Porori also said something to the same effect.

If I don’t do something with these red eyes, I’m sure there will be a big problem.

The reason why animals are beasts is because their instincts are stronger than reason. As long as there is a light width, instinct will inevitably come out.

“Let’s see… What are you talking about suddenly coming to me? What’s wrong with your red eyes?”

Kara said in an incomprehensible voice. But she didn’t even give Hector a glance.

Only staring at me. I couldn’t help but wonder as I met those gazes.

‘Was this event originally like this?’

If you beat Kara in the Dalian event, there will be an event where she meets Hector.

Whether they’re at the dorm, at a cafe, or at a restaurant, they pop up out of nowhere and talk about this and that.

Most of them told me to get along with their daughter, not to get too close to them, and so on. It’s a conversation with her father with her daughter.

“Inspiration.”

“Speak.”

“Is there a place around here where I can just destroy it? I know there’s a forest nearby.”

As I remained silent, Hector asked Rod.

Rod frowned slightly at the question and answered in a firm tone.

“Absolutely not. This is the academy. If you get into an accident, you won’t be safe either.”

“Then let’s leave it as it is? We’re just going to check it out. He might have a worse accident than me later?”

“Hmm…”

Lord turned his head to me, as if he had judged it to be a reasonable explanation. His deep thoughtful eyes reminded him of a calm lake.

Then he looked at Hector again and calmly raised the question.

“If it’s confirmed? What are you going to do after that? Are you going to fix it?”

“No. As you know, I can’t be away for a long time.”

“Then no…”

“Instead of.”

He stopped before the words of Hector were out of Rod’s mouth. As if there are alternatives.

Tuong!

Soon he took out the weapon slung behind his back and put it on the desk. All eyes turned to the weapon on the desk.

The overall appearance looks like an ‘axe’. However, it is too big to be a one-handed ax, and too small to be a battle ax.

In terms of Earth, it’s roughly the size of a fire axe. Besides, the shape is also strange.

One side was forged with a sharp blade, while the other side was blunt like a hammer.

Hector opened his mouth as if declaring as everyone’s eyes turned to the axe.

“I’ll lend you this so that he doesn’t show his beastly side.”

“······Are you crazy?”

“Are you crazy? Why is that…!”

Rod and even Kara looked at Hector in surprise. She is only puzzled by Luna, who knows nothing.

I was able to keep my expression as calm as possible, but inside I was very surprised.

That’s also true, because Hector’s weapons are among the highest ranks in Soul World.

‘Ragnarok.’

Hector’s favorite weapon and close to the end item. However, you need to steadily build up your ‘faith’ in order to exert your true power.

So for me, it’s just a sturdy axe. It is unknown whether it will withstand my red magic power.

It’s a huge deal to lend me an ax like that. It just feels a bit excessive.

However, Hector must have had a different idea, and he made up his mind in a serious voice.

“For safety’s sake, I’ll try to keep him from running amok. This is the best I can do.”

“··· ···”

“All I have to do is check. If I knew he was a normal human being, I would immediately get down on his knees and apologize. I also swear to Gulag-sama that I will never interfere with you.”

Oaths made to Gulag have a powerful effect. If you break that oath, lightning will fall from the sky.

This means that Hector is sincere. She was willing to sacrifice her own love for Kara’s safety.

I wondered if there was anything else to say about the part about lending my bottles, even though Rod didn’t know anything else.

How long had it been since Rod was in trouble like that? He let out a deep sigh and quietly opened his mouth.

“······There is a forest at 6 o’clock from me. The distance is roughly 300m away.”

“Can I just break it?”

“If possible, fight further away than that. Fragments may come flying.”

“Good. How are you?”

Hector is very kind and asks me for my opinion. Unlike the event, it seems to lead to sparring.

After receiving that question, I shifted my gaze to Kara. She, too, had a very puzzled face as if she had felt the determination of her Hector.

The same goes for Luna. She couldn’t keep up with the subject, but the look on her face made her realize that things were going to get serious.

“Mo. Two.”

At this I called everyone. Then everyone’s eyes turned to me.

After that, he spoke in a short but strong tone so that they could be relieved.

“It’s okay. It’s okay.”

“······Even if you don’t know who it is, it seems that you taught consideration well.”

Hector laughed at my answer and quietly stood up from her seat.

Soon he picked up the ax that had been placed on the desk, Ragnarok, and walked slowly.

Maybe I can follow him. I looked up and got up from my seat.

The moment he was about to move forward, fixing his eyes on Hector’s broad back.

“Then, without delay…”

Hector tightened the hand holding the axe.

“Let’s start right away.”

I swung it hard with the hammer, not the blade.

“f*ck…”

f*ck. Wait.

Quaang!

My body broke through the ceiling and soared into the sky.
