A Wild Man Has Entered the Academy - Chapter 408



407 – Answer (1)

In Tatarstan, illegal dumping of waste, especially human remains, is punishable by hefty fines.

Hector said that the Tatars fight in vain, so shouldn’t they be stopped with money?

So most Tatars avoid fighting, even if it means wasting money.

‘It seems that the training ground is no exception.’

I roughly moved Uro’s corpse, or rather his body, according to Hector’s instructions.

Soon the guides who brought the stretcher left, taking Uro away. They will probably go to treat him.

My ribs are completely broken and I have many large and small wounds all over my body. It will take time to recover.

“Before we begin, can I ask you a few questions?”

Trash, no, I guess I cleaned up the Uro too, all that’s left is the duel with Hector. I nodded after hearing what he said.

Hector in Soul World even heard of Ragnarok. But now he is bare-handed.

It seems like he still hasn’t gotten Ragnarok. I was a little worried when I saw this.

“Did you like the Tatar?”

Meanwhile, Hector asked a question. Did he like the Tartar?

It was a question that a king could reasonably ask, but I could sense a subtle emotion in those words.

Anxiety and worry. At first glance, it sounds confident, but it contains a little bit of negative emotion.

It’s a question of whether or not he ruled properly. That’s what it feels like.

“Yes, I like it.”

“What part?”

“The people are friendly and the food is delicious.”

“Yes······”

Hector must have noticed something strange. His eyes widened as he stopped talking.

I didn’t say that on purpose. I thought I was familiar with Tatar, but it seems I wasn’t.

Or maybe I was just thinking about something else and got all confused. So I quickly corrected myself.

“I’m sorry. The people are friendly and the food is delicious.”

“I see. But wasn’t there someone who insulted you? The younger brother of the Bouwar family?”

“There are thugs wherever you go. Thugs who are neither civilized nor savages.”

“A gangster… I see.”

Hector chuckled. His expression showed sympathy.

I walked with a shuffling pace and picked up the weapon that had fallen on the ground. A short-handled, one-handed hammer.

I haven’t used it yet, but I think I should use it against Hector. There’s a big difference between having a weapon and not having one.

“What is that weapon?”

“For temporary use.”

“It’s threatening for a temporary thing? Did Grandpa Bor make it for you?”

“I don’t know the name.”

I don’t know the name of the blacksmith who gave me the weapon. I just happened to get it.

Hector shrugged his shoulders and took a stance as if it didn’t matter. It seemed like he was going to fight her bare-handed for now.

To the Tatars it would seem as if they had imposed some sort of penalty on themselves. In fact, Hector has a penalty.

He must be unsure whether he is a king or a warrior. It’s half-assed, considering he couldn’t grab Ragnarok.

‘In Soul World, I show you all my weakened appearance······’

The duel with Hector in Soul World ends quite blandly.

Hector gets hit a few times while fighting because he gets distracted.

Thanks to its unique durability, it rarely shows signs of wear and tear, but the Tatars have their doubts.

Why has the king I knew become so weak? That feeling becomes a signal flare and stimulates the hardliners.

‘And now those hardliners are getting beaten like dogs.’

It’ll be different now, because I met Hector before and he gave me some solid facts.

It depends on how you take that fact. So I couldn’t help but be nervous.

“Then let me ask you the next question.”

“Aren’t you going to fight?”

“It’s important.”

If you say it’s important, then there’s nothing I can do. But I didn’t forget to hang around because I didn’t know when it would start.

It was a kind of exploration. Hector also started to explore me, looking me up and down.

“Civilization has many very interesting systems, many of which are worthy of emulation.”

“If you think so.”

“Then what do you think is the most necessary institution for the Tatars?”

Why are you suddenly giving me a test? I couldn’t understand it at all, so I opened one eye.

Hector also smiled meaningfully, as if he had anticipated my reaction.

“If you don’t answer, there is no sparring.”

You’re threatening me with a false accusation. Then I have no choice but to answer.

‘It’s a necessary system······’

To be honest, I don’t know. I didn’t major in politics, so what kind of system is this?

Moreover, this world is a fantasy world. It is an environment where it is difficult for the Earth’s institutions to penetrate.

I’ve heard it joked that democracy can never be introduced, saying that the votes of blacks and farmers are the same.

“I don’t know.”

“You don’t know?”

“Yes. I don’t know.”

Above all, it is better to move your body than to sit at a desk and study.

So I was able to answer confidently. And coincidentally, I had a suitable excuse.

“It’s been a year now. A year. Since I came out of the forest.”

“Oh, I see. I forgot.”

Hector nodded as if he understood what I said. It was a reaction of understanding.

Now that the questions are over, shouldn’t we start fighting? I think the audience wants that too.

“No. This much in a year is actually quite impressive.”

“yes?”

“That’s a compliment. I’ve talked too long. I’ll get started now.”

It is a compliment, but it seems to have a subtle meaning. It’s just a feeling.

However, Hector could be mistaken. To the outside world, I am not a barbarian, but rather a person who has crossed over from the wild to civilization.

Not only Hector, but many people think so too. That’s why they rate it so highly.

‘At least Luna knows······’

Strangely enough, Luna didn’t reveal the really important secret. In fact, it only added to the confusion.

It’s ambiguous to say that she has a heavy mouth. Her beak is the very embodiment of chaos.

-Koosh!

“?!”

It was while I was absentmindedly thinking about something else that I suddenly felt a pressure pressing down on my shoulders.

As soon as I felt that pressure, I turned my head and looked at Hector.

-Fired! Fired!

Blue lightning was wrapped around both fists. It was a color on a completely different level from the dancer.

The lightning was so bright that it was almost blue-white. Not only that, but Hector himself was also fierce.

It was burning trash, no, it was a murderous aura that I had never felt from Uro. It was emitting a murderous aura that made me feel like I was suffocating.

An aura befitting of the ‘King of Destruction’ who destroys everything he comes across, regardless of people or buildings. That aura is directed at me.

“Oh. Oh, I forgot. How’s the squirrel doing?”

“······yes.”

“I’ll have to go and say hello later. Of course······”

-Dismissed!

It was a single flash. For a moment, a dark flash of light appeared before my eyes, and the hairs on my entire body stood on end.

The wild instinct cried out urgently. Stop him by lifting Mjolnir right now.

I didn’t ignore my instincts. When I raised Mjolnir and took a defensive stance.

“If only I could live.”

Hector was stretching out his fist filled with lightning.

-Kwaang!

Even though I blocked it with Mjolnir, my new form was pushed back with a whoosh! It was a terrifying impact.

Fortunately, I didn’t fly away. Even though I was pushed back, my two legs were still on the ground.

“Phew.”

I lowered Mjolnir and looked at Hector, the lightning still swirling around his fist.

It looks like lightning has become a glove. Even without Ragnarok, you can use the power of lightning.

Having fought countless battles, I’d say he’s probably top-tier at unarmed combat. Not as good as Rize, though.

‘It’s worth it. But······’

What Hector said just before he hit me bothered me. It was a very dangerous statement, “If only I could live.”

From noble mtl dot com

There are many things to be concerned about, such as the heavy killing and the remarks I made earlier. However, it is still not enough.

So I circulated the magical power within my body and strengthened my body. It was too early to show off my red magical power.

Because Lord and Lize advised me not to reveal my red magic if possible.

‘Is Red Lightning okay?’

I thought about it that far, but couldn’t finish it.

Hector rushed at me with lightning speed, swinging his powerful fist at me just like before.

Even if it’s fast, a fist is still a fist. And it’s a fist flying straight towards my face.

I twisted my head and narrowly avoided the impact. My face stung, perhaps because of the lightning.

‘No. Are you really trying to blow my head off?’

There was no mercy. Hector was really determined to kill me.

I thought it was revenge for last time, but that wasn’t it. The Hector I know isn’t such a petty person.

First, we need to counterattack. I grabbed Hector’s arm that was passing my face.

I was going to break his arm by hitting him with a hammer.

-Pfft!

Before that, I was the one who kicked him first, but since I had expected it, I was pushed back without any problems.

But even that kick was like lightning, so it flew a little far. The will to somehow control me is prevalent.

It was completely difficult to understand. In Soul World, he fought with skills that were almost like sloppy work.

Now? It’s the opposite. Hector is fighting with all his might and strength to kill me.

“······Do you want to try it?”

I asked Hector, tapping his stomach with my hand. It was a kind of confirmation.

Hector nodded heavily to my question. His expression was also extremely serious.

The question, “Why on earth?” naturally arose. If I fought here with all my heart, I could really die.

‘Unlike last time, I was prepared for it so the results may be different······’

Anyway, Hector intends to give it his all. I want to ask him why.

“Are you serious?”

“okay.”

“Are you crazy because you want to die?”

I asked that because it was absurd. But the answer I got back was even more absurd.

“Yes.”

“··· ···”

“I think that’s the only way I can get an answer.”

-Phajijik!

The lightning bolts wrapped around Hector’s hands grew darker.

It’s not fully wrapped around my body yet, but it’s still pretty threatening.

“If you want to die, go to Lord or Lize······”

“Those humans are as strong as monsters.”

“··· ···”

“I think we can only find the answer if we are at least of similar skill level.”

It’s a strangely convincing answer. After all, both of them are monster-like strong.

If they go all out? Nana Hector or the two will be split in two by cutting or breaking space.

“If you don’t kill me······”

“··· ···”

“I will tear out my own heart and throw it at you. So come.”

I couldn’t help but laugh out loud when I heard that.

“Are you crazy?”

But that’s why I plan to try harder.

The current Hector was not a king, but a ‘warrior’ prepared to die.

-Dismissed!

A faint lightning bolt began to strike Mjolnir.
