A Wild Man Has Entered the Academy

60 – Night in the Forest (2)

Kara’s day could be explained like this.

It’s frustrating and boring. This is what the team members thought after they fell for Antonio’s tricks.

Survival itself was easier compared to the desert. Unlike the forest where there is anything, the desert has nothing but sand.

I endured it while eating bugs for protein supplementation, and it was night before I knew it.

In Tatar, the temperature difference between day and night is so wide that people tend to wear thick clothes at night, but that is not necessary here.

However, they didn’t think that the evening would arrive earlier than expected, so they couldn’t even make a hiding place.

“Then excuse me.”

Under such circumstances, he wandered aimlessly and stumbled upon a campfire by chance.

In a forest or mountain where darkness is thick, even the light of a cigarette is clear. How much worse would a bonfire be?

There was a high possibility that it would be a different team, so there was a high possibility of a fight, but I was thinking of persuading them first.

Fortunately, the owner of the bonfire was Shivar’s team, and she was able to sit comfortably in her lair.

“You said you defeated them all? As expected, I was right. I don’t know why they made that choice. Luna joined, too, right?”

“Once.”

“He saw my dad fight with you and I don’t know why. Is there another reason?”

But I had no intention of sleeping peacefully on the floor. Staying up all night for a day or so wasn’t work, and it wasn’t polite.

Shouldn’t we stand together at least for night shifts? I can see you lying on the floor and resting even though you haven’t done anything.

She had the right companions at the right time, so she was perfect for Kara.

“How is your team?”

“Good.”

“Which aspect?”

“Everything.”

Kara heard that and turned to look behind her. Grace and Yeonju Lee are snoring each other to sleep.

Both of them look and feel like they grew up as plants in a greenhouse. Grace, in particular, knows who Cara is too.

One of the people who show a steady interest in Shivar. I honestly didn’t like it very much.

It was so clear that they coveted Shivar, and more precisely, his power. It was too blatant.

‘As long as Sivar doesn’t touch him, he’s all good.’

So she didn’t believe Shivar’s words. He knows that Shivar is too kind even if he is good.

I don’t respond unless I touch it first, and I tend to apologize even if I occasionally go out of my way.

If he had an evil mind, he would have fought against the Lord who punished him without even apologizing.

‘I don’t know anything else, but I hope you don’t use your mind.’

It doesn’t matter if you skillfully use Shivar’s power. It’s okay to use someone else’s power in this tough world.

However, it would be inconvenient if it wasn’t an unavoidable situation and it was using Sivar’s good heart.

‘Splendid speech is also power if it’s power.’

Of course, this was only for Shivar, and he did not deny the narration itself. At the time of tribal integration, Hector showed such an aspect.

Hector united the tribe with his brute force, natural charisma and, finally, resonant speech.

As a result, Tatar was founded, and it rose to a position that other countries could not easily touch.

It’s because I’m wandering right now, I’ve seen with my own eyes how strong the power of speech is.

Not liking it and not acknowledging it are two different things.

“Sivar.”

“Huh?”

“That… It’s not.”

Kara was about to say something but stopped. He originally meant to speak out as advice.

[Even if people say good things, it’s difficult to accept them as they are. It’s good to think about it once in a while.]

However, he knows better than anyone else that he can’t understand Sivar Legay, and that he doesn’t quite understand himself either.

If she brought up that word for no reason and Shivar later made a strange misunderstanding, it was Kara who would get in trouble.

‘Even if I say something nice, they might not believe it.’

That was what I was most concerned about. Even if Hector was driven into half-death, his liking for Sivar did not diminish.

Rather, it’s something you should apologize for. Wasn’t Sivar injured by Hector’s sudden action?

But after he actually said that, Sivar started to doubt what he was saying?

I think it will become bitter beyond frustrating. I will have sadness too.

‘It’s strange to say that you can trust my words.’

She is Kara Ra, who is despised because she is a wild person, but she is also included in her civilization. And civilized people have no choice but to ‘lie’.

Lying is one of the skills that mankind acquired on its own, not invented while building civilization.

I may have to lie to Sivar one day, but my conscience pricked me to bring out that advice.

“Ahh…”

“?”

Kara scratched her head at her complicated mind. Sivar just looked at her with her strange eyes.

Then she sighed and looked to the side of her. Thanks to her bonfire, Shivar’s face was clear even in the middle of the night.

How can he make such a stupid and cute expression? Even her face was close to her beauty, and her innocence was strongly felt.

Pinch-

So I couldn’t stand it. Kara reached out and gently pinched Shivar’s cheek.

In response to her actions, Sivar only blinked, but did not take any action. Instead, she had a look on her face asking what she was doing.

In response, Kara pinched Shivar’s cheek with her other hand as well. I don’t know if it’s because my skin is as white as milk, but it’s really soft.

I think I know why Ellie is rubbing Shivar’s cheek. She’s as soft as sticky rice, so you’ll want to keep touching her.

“I envy you. I envy you. Some people are so complicated that they die, but some people seem to have no idea.”

“······Me?”

“Didn’t I say you?”

Kara deftly brought out her lie. Will Sivar be able to understand the meaning of these words?

The expression is still expressionless, so it’s hard to understand, but it didn’t matter.

Just one thing. There is only one thing Kara needs.

“Sivar.”

“Yes.”

“Are we still friends?”

I wish I could continue with Shibar. They communicate well with each other, and their personalities are subtly correct.

I made other friends including Luna, but none were as comfortable as Sivar.

Luna has a naive side, and Ellie is lively but a bit awkward to deal with.

For now, Sivar is my best friend. A friend in the true sense of the word, with no prejudice whatsoever.

“I won’t let this go until you answer.”

It doesn’t matter if Shivar becomes a civilized person or not. He doesn’t care if he learns to lie or not.

It’s enough if we remain friends forever. Friends often lie to each other and play pranks.

Instead, you should never do ‘betrayal’. Especially if Shivar betrays him, it seems that he will never be able to trust people.

‘······What if I betray you later?’

When I suddenly thought of that, the hand that was pinching Sivar’s cheek relaxed slightly. At the same time, anxiety sets in.

There is no reason for Sivar to betray him, but no one knows about human affairs.

It’s not betrayal, it’s a problem even if you turn your back. Even if there is a difference, it is to get away from Shibar.

‘That must be a bit… Sad.’

I feel more sad than angry. If it’s Sivar, you might understand why there must be a reason.

Did he even read Kara’s feelings? Shivar gently removed her hand from pinching his cheek.

“······Sivar?”

“Promise.”

When Kara expressed her doubts, Shivar showed it with her actions. Her little one would hold out to her with only her fingers outstretched.

Seeing that, Kara’s fisheye was dumbfounded, then looked back at Sivar’s face. It is a characteristic expressionless expression that seems to have no thought.

What on earth is he thinking when he acts like this? She only picks and does cute things that make you want to bite her cheek.

At the same time, it made people forget what to say. All the things I thought about until just now feel useless.

“Friends.”

“······· Haha.”

Kara smiled dejectedly as she landed the final blow. What the hell was she thinking?

Sometimes actions speak louder than words, but Shivar was both powerful. He shook people’s hearts by picking only the essential ones.

Do you really know what kind of effect your words and actions have? It is a strange ability even though it must have lived in the wild.

Sug-

Kara crossed her own little finger with her pinky finger that Shivar held out to her. Each other’s little fingers intertwined like chains.

It’s something I’ve done before, but this time it felt different. Did the feelings between them become stronger?

It was only Kara’s idea, but it was satisfactory enough.

“Sivar.”

“Yes.”

“I’m so glad you’re my friend.”

Seeing her sincere words, Sivar looked at her with a slightly surprised expression. The response is that she did not know that she would say such a thing.

It is not uncommon for Sivar’s expressionless expression to break. Most of them were scolded by the road and only had a sad expression.

Kara had no choice but to feel new. There’s nothing she can’t do if she’s sincere.

‘Come to think of it…’

Kara looked at Sivar, who was making a surprised face. When she thought about it, she had never seen Sivar smile.

Even at the time of the death beam incident, she only showed excited reactions, and she never smiled directly.

It’s probably not that I don’t feel well, and I’m not sure why. Maybe it’s because it’s awkward.

“Sivar.”

“Huh?”

“Do you want to laugh? Like this.”

So she demonstrated it herself. Kara lifted the corners of her mouth with her hand.

It wasn’t a natural smile, but it was enough to give an example. Shivar was also looking at it carefully.

Since then, Shivar followed Kara’s actions exactly. He used her hand to lift the corners of her mouth.

“This?”

“·······”

Kara’s reaction when she saw that was very simple. She didn’t say anything, but her face slowly turned red.

Fortunately, she did not stand out because of her skin color and campfire.

“Uh, uh uh. That’s right. Like that. Can you laugh?”

“Yes.”

“Yes. You laugh like that…”

Kara was about to say her words.

Anyway, I don’t think I should show Shibar’s smiling face to others. It’s better to just be expressionless.

‘It’s really cute, how can you stand that?’

Oddly enough, the heart was harmed.

Kara quietly opened her mouth, suppressing her pounding chest in her own way.

“······No. Don’t laugh.”

“Why?”

“It’s just… A little bit.”

It was Kara who lied to Sivar for the second time already.
