A Wild Man Has Entered the Academy - Chapter 439



438 – Parents (4)

Nothing of note happened during the internship.

Since Lord is the referee, there is little chance of any complaints about the decision, and even if there are, Lord explains it well.

The teaching assistants, including myself, watched the students’ sparring and shared their opinions. There was no mention of teaching assistants not being allowed to share their opinions.

Time passed quickly and it was already the last day of the internship. It went smoothly without any incidents or accidents.

“Hahaha! Those federal guys aren’t that great either!”

“What did you say?”

“Am I wrong? Hasn’t our empire been superior up until now?”

Although there were occasional conflicts between parents, it was something that was expected.

If it looked like a fight was going to break out, I could have just stepped in and stopped it.

Moreover, it was more like a conflict between parents rather than a fight between countries.

‘It’s only natural that you’d want to brag since your child won.’

Although he disparaged a particular country, there was love for his children inside.

It is natural for the person being ridiculed to get angry, as it is their own child who has been cursed at.

The nobles didn’t show it on the outside, but they would show a proud expression when their children won, and their expressions would harden when they lost.

I was quite embarrassed because most of the parents were more sensible than I thought. The parents who were closer to being ignorant might have left a long time ago.

‘The conflict between real countries is this scary.’

The problem is the conflict between nations. Even such good people could not ignore the conflict between nations.

One day, won’t those people, or even students, point their swords at each other? That’s exactly what will happen.

The Touhou episode coming up next semester. If that episode goes ahead, some people might die.

I turned my head to the training ground with a complicated mind for a moment. The practice was almost at its end.

‘How clever.’

The students standing in the training hall are famous students in the class. In a way, you could say they are the ones who attract the most attention.

Frozen Princess Reina and Namgung Seokdae of the Namgung Sega family. The two of them were looking at each other while each holding their own unique weapons.

This is the first time these two have faced each other. They didn’t even face each other during the freshman match.

‘If you look at only objective power, Reina has the advantage.’

In fact, the greatest power in this class is Reina. This is something that not only I but also others acknowledge.

However, in terms of technical aspects, it is quite possible that Namgung Seokdae is higher. Basically, Reina’s weapon was Battle Axe.

In Battle X, the only technique is to suppress things with force. The situation will change depending on how you fill that gap.

‘If necessary, I can fight with my bare fists.’

-Whew!

The duel began with Lord’s whistle. As soon as the duel began, Reina rushed forward aggressively.

Reina’s fighting style can be summed up in one thing: ‘pressure’. She charges like a bull and makes it difficult for her opponent to make a move.

This method has the disadvantage of being very stamina-intensive, but she was born and raised in the harsh Frozen environment.

Not only that, but he lived a rough life thanks to his unique, almost noisy personality. He probably has more practical experience than I do.

‘Is she actually the second most popular person after Kara?’

If Kara has been through war, Reina has personally experienced the subjugation of bandits. Just because it’s Frozen doesn’t mean there aren’t any scoundrels.

Something like thieves’ subjugation is one of the practical trainings that the Academy carries out starting from the third year. Reina has been doing this since long ago.

‘Namgung Seokdae is not that bad either.’

Namgung Seokdae is older than the other students. As I said before, the reason why someone from the East entered the academy was largely for the purpose of escape.

Namgung Seokdae is the next head of the family. He must have accumulated some experience.

-Wow!

“Ugh!”

Of course, that doesn’t mean he’s stronger than Reina. Namgung Seokdae grimaced every time he received a blow.

On the other hand, Reina has a victorious expression. She is smiling so brightly that at first glance, she looks like a crazy person.

The results were already visible, but I watched quietly. It was a battle of whether or not to escape Reina’s pressure.

-Swish!

“huh?”

Namgung Seok-dae, who had been waiting for an opportunity, counterattacked. In that split second, he stepped on Reina’s foot.

In an instant, Reina’s balance was broken and a gap appeared. She lost her balance when she tried to step back and got stepped on.

Namgung Seokdae took aim at this and launched a counterattack. He stabbed the sword he was holding with both hands into Reina’s abdomen.

-Thump

At that moment, Reina let go of her weapons in both hands. Namgung Seokdae’s expression turned into confusion.

Letting go of your weapons is tantamount to suicide. It’s essentially a message close to surrender.

But this is exactly what Reina was aiming for. She is skilled not only with weapons but also with martial arts.

-Swish!

Reina grabbed the sword that was stabbing her in the abdomen, or rather, the arm of Namgung Seok-dae who was holding the sword.

After a while, I pulled it back in that state and slightly adjusted the direction. This is a method that uses the stab in reverse.

As a result, Namgung Seokdae’s stab narrowly missed Reina’s left side.

Now all that was left was Reina’s counterattack. Without delay, she grabbed Namgung Seokdae by the neck.

-bang!

A technique that you would only see in wrestling came out. He grabbed the opponent by the neck, lifted him up, and threw him to the ground.

It is a natural movement, like flowing water. It is a method that can never be achieved without training and experience.

No matter how strong Namgung Seokdae is, it seems he is no match for Reina.

“Game over. Good work, both of you.”

The duel ended as Reina cast Mount on Namgung Seokdae, who had fallen to the ground.

At Lord’s words announcing the end of the match, Reina also quietly stood up from her seat. Then, she reached out her hand to Namgung Seokdae.

Namgung Seok-dae also stood up from his seat, holding Reina’s hand. Judging from his indifferent expression, it seemed like he wasn’t in a bad mood.

“Thank you for your effort.”

“Thank you for your hard work.”

Namgung Seokdae uses his unique, old-fashioned way of speaking, unlike Reina’s honest greeting.

This concludes all the sparring. Dis guided the parents after all the sparring was over.

“This concludes all practical training. This concludes today’s class. I hope you have a great time with your students.”

There were no afternoon classes. It seemed as if, as Diss had said, parents and children should spend some cozy time together.

I stood up from my seat as I watched the parents slowly dispersing.

“Shivar. What are you going to do now?”

Kara asked as I got up from my seat. There wasn’t much to do since the practice was after lunch.

I listened to her question and turned my head after thinking about it. The students were leaving in small groups with their parents.

He watched the scene from afar, then shrugged his shoulders and answered.

“I don’t know. Accommodation?”

“Okay? Okay. See you tonight.”

“huh.”

I also parted ways with Kara and Karas. I was left alone in the training ground······

“Senior!”

“?”

······And then someone called me with a loud voice. I turned my head toward the voice.

I turned my head and saw Reina approaching me with a bright smile. Her father, Oscar, was following her.

As I was wondering why she was coming when the internship was over, Reina stood in front of me and suddenly spoke.

“If you have time, would you like to spar?”

“······suddenly?”

“Yes! There’s still time left.”

It was such a sudden suggestion, but at the same time, it was very Reina-like.

I blinked and looked at Reina’s bright expression, then looked at Oscar behind her.

Oscar was just staring at me as if he had no particular thoughts. I was a little troubled by this.

‘Dalssien isn’t bad either······’

Since there’s nothing else to do, sparring with Reina isn’t a bad option.

But I was concerned that Oscar was watching. Even I thought Oscar’s love for his daughter was excessive.

It’s a problem if I win, and it’s a problem if I lose. The former doesn’t need explaining, and the latter would disappoint Reina.

I’m sure you’ll notice right away that I’m watching over you. It’s a difficult situation in many ways.

“Excuse me for a moment.”

“huh?”

“uh?”

While I was pondering, a completely unexpected person showed up. A person who made not only me and Reina, but even Oscar’s eyes widen.

Lord came towards me with his pack on his back. He approached me without making any noise, so I didn’t notice his approach.

“Student Reina. Did you say you wanted to spar with Student Shivar?”

“Uh······ Yes! There’s nothing in particular to do, right?”

Reina was momentarily flustered, but then answered in her characteristically strong voice. Judging from the sparkling eyes, she seemed to be very much looking forward to it.

Lord stared at her for a while, then turned his head to look at Oscar. Oscar’s face looked as if he had no particular thoughts.

But can’t you ignore experience? Lord smiled warmly and said to Reina.

“I think it would be better to spend time with your father rather than that.”

“yes?”

“Haven’t you come a long way to see your child? I see it as more valuable.”

“uh······”

At those words, Reina looked at Oscar. As soon as Oscar saw Reina, the corners of his mouth went up.

Anyone can see that it is the expression of a father who wants to be with his daughter. Even Reina can’t ignore that expression.

“Um… I see. I guess I was a little careless.”

“Student Shibar. Could you please translate what I am saying?”

“He said he was a little careless.”

When Reina unknowingly began to use her native language, Lord personally asked her to interpret for her. I readily accepted the request.

Anyway, Oscar and Reina left in such a happy mood. It was quite nice to see Reina clinging tightly to Oscar’s arm.

From noble mtl dot com

‘······I envy you every time I see you.’

I was jealous. That they had parents who would be on their side no matter what.

It was a moment when I was starting to feel strangely depressed.

-chin

Lord put his hand on my head and patted it gently.

It’s a feeling I haven’t felt in a long time. A touch that is rough yet full of warmth.

I felt the hand and turned my head. When I turned my head, Lord was still looking straight ahead.

But I could clearly see the smile engraved on his lips.

“Is there anything you want to eat?”

Warm words came out of Lord’s mouth. As soon as I heard those words, my heart felt at ease.

I was mulling over the words with a blank expression on my face, then raised the corners of my lips. The corners of my lips went up without me even realizing it.

Originally, I would have said what I wanted to eat without hesitation, but not anymore.

“What about Grandpa?”

At least I could have been considerate. I was way past the age of whining.

At my question, Lord looked at me with a smiling face and then burst into hearty laughter.

“Let’s start by choosing what you want to eat. Is there anything you want to eat?”

“hmm······”

I thought about it for a moment and then said.

“candy.”

“candy?”

“yes.”

For the first time in a while, I felt like eating something.

The sweetness I felt for the first time when I came to the academy.

“Nurungji flavored candy.”

Now it was a sweetness that came with a different meaning.

******

A time when the relationship between Shivar and Lord became even stronger.

“So······the one with the red lightning bolt is in the Academy?”

“Yes, that’s right, my heavens.”

A rumor spread to the ‘monster’ of the East.
