A Wild Man Has Entered the Academy - Chapter 473



472 – What Happened at the Inn (1)

Unlike the Tatars, the Huan Empire was quick to secure accommodations. In addition, each person was given a single room, which was comfortable and nice.

Of course, it is too much to compare us to the new nation of Tatarstan, but there is a reason why we can speak so confidently.

“It was better than our country. I thought we could keep up somehow, but we weren’t.”

“This is your first time as a Tatar.”

“It’s true that it’s still lacking. I have to see and learn.”

The princess of that country openly compared them. Even when I defended her from the side, she shook her head.

He said that I needed to learn what I needed to learn, so I started from the accommodation and checked the differences one by one.

The first thing to look out for is the private room. Tatar still lacks the building itself, so two people share one room.

On the other hand, the accommodations in the Hwan Empire are excellent in every way, from size to facilities. They even have a buffet restaurant.

We go to the inn to eat imperial food, but normally, it would be enough to just take care of it at that restaurant.

“But the weather is a bit······”

“Is it hot?”

“It’s more humid than hot.”

If I had to pick a downside, it would be that the summer temperatures are incredibly high.

While the temperature in Tatarstan was high due to the desert climate, the humidity in the Huan Empire made people uncomfortable.

It would be similar throughout the East. Summers are incredibly hot and humid, and winters are insanely cold.

Because of this, the size of plants and animals cannot help but be smaller than in the West. Because areas where people can live well are also places where plants and animals can live well.

I arrived at an inn near Bagh while chatting with Kara about this and that. It was a normal-sized inn.

“The restaurant is also a bit different. It feels a bit edgy.”

“huh.”

“The atmosphere is also strange. How can the culture be this different?”

Kara looked around the inn, which she had visited for the first time in her life, with childlike curiosity.

I’m no different. It’s knowledge I’ve acquired in advance while playing Soul World, but it’s my first time seeing it in person.

Moreover, there were quite a few people, so it was lively. Except for us, everyone else was from the East.

“Hey, look over there.”

“Huh? Are you a color person?”

“I heard they came from the school building. It must have been that day.”

“Ah. I see.”

Just as we were curious, the people in the restaurant looked at us with curious eyes.

Unlike Tatarstan, which is visited by many foreigners, the Huan Empire has relatively few foreigners. There are almost none except for the Academy.

But since Kara has such a striking appearance, I can’t help but be interested in her. It’s not common to see people with bronze skin.

“Can a person’s skin get tanned like that? It must be because of the sun.”

“Hey man. When a person’s skin gets burned, it should turn red.”

“Aha. I see. Then what happened to that woman?”

“What are you talking about? It’s noisy. Let’s finish eating.”

There is no such thing as racism as we were worried about. There is just useless talk going around.

It’s not like foreigners, as they say, don’t visit at all; they just do their own thing.

“Can I go up to the second floor?”

“It says the second floor is VIP seating.”

“where?”

“Over there.”

I pointed to the sign posted at the entrance to the stairs leading to the second floor.

A sign written only in the language of the Hwan Empire. Kara nodded at it.

“Ah. There’s a sign. I guess they don’t use the official language here?”

“I heard that. There are hardly any foreigners.”

“Is our country special?”

“huh.”

The Huan Empire also invested a lot in trade, but not as much as the Tartars. In fact, the Tartars have ridiculously high geopolitical value.

If you can get through the desert, you can go to most countries. That’s why it has high potential.

“But I don’t know anything about the food here… Do you know?”

“I’m done with dumplings and Dongpo pork.”

“What’s that? I think I’ve seen dumplings at buffets, but this is the first time I’ve heard of Dongpo Pork.”

“Delicious meat. And we have noodles too.”

“Then let’s order that. Let’s try the authentic cuisine.”

I wonder if Kara’s taste will suit the spices unique to the Huan Empire. I’m confident that it will be delicious.

Soon, he stopped a passerby and started ordering the menu one by one······.

Because there was something very important before that. So I asked Kara just in case.

“Do we have money?”

“Money? Can’t it be in silver?”

“Can I pay here in silver?”

Before ordering the menu, I asked in the language of the Huan Empire. Then, Jeom So-i looked slightly surprised.

Didn’t you know that I could speak fluent Korean? Jeom So-i, who had been in a stunned state for a while, opened her mouth in a hurry.

“Yes, it is possible.”

“Somen, dumplings, and Dongpo pork. Please give me two of each. You don’t drink alcohol?”

“You want to drink in broad daylight?”

Kara looked dumbfounded at my suggestion of a drink.

“······Is one drink okay? It’s a cultural experience.”

Of course, I was quickly tempted by the cultural experience.

For a strong person like me, alcohol is more like a beverage, so drinking just one glass won’t get you drunk.

Even if you get drunk, you’ll only smell like alcohol and the intoxication will go away quickly. There’s no problem.

“Please give me one bamboo leaf tea.”

“thank you.”

I paid in advance and waited quietly. While I was waiting, Kara was busy looking around the guest room.

Aside from the academy, this is her first time abroad. Everything is bound to be new and exciting.

‘It’s kind of cute.’

Kara, who was always confident and energetic, is showing her curiosity here and there like a child. It’s strangely cute.

Then she looked closely at the people eating and spoke to me in a whisper.

“Shivar.”

“huh.”

“There are surprisingly many strong people here?”

Just by looking around, you can quickly figure it out. That is Kara’s discerning eye.

In fact, there were people in the guest house who gave off an unusual aura, such as eating alone in silence or setting the mood.

The second floor, which was known as the VIP area, is even more so. The guest house is where the characteristics of the martial arts world are fully embodied.

“Because we’re both hungry.”

“I guess so?”

We just have to wait quietly, eat, and leave. There’s no need to get involved here and there.

“Hey, listen up. Here. “

“··· ···”

That is, until a certain ronin wearing a hat offers Jeomsoi a piece of silver.

Again, it’s not a silver coin, it’s a silver coin. And it’s not just one silver coin, it’s several silver coins.

A single silver coin has quite a high value. The problem is that it was given away without even ordering food.

What does that mean? I’m going to wield my sword somewhere soon, so don’t bother me.

[Faith rises!]

From noble mtl dot com

‘Ana. Really.’

They don’t even let me eat. Even the time is ambiguous.

It’s been about 10 to 15 minutes since I ordered food from Jeomsoi.

The food will be here soon, but I feel like it would be a waste to just leave, and if I stay still, I feel like I’ll get involved in something annoying.

‘The real battle of wits is about to begin.’

I should tell Kara about this soon. I called out to her cautiously.

“Kara.”

“Huh? Why?”

“I feel like a fight is about to break out.”

“Huh?”

Kara’s eyes widened at the mention of a fight. Of course, it must have felt so out of the blue.

But my intuition, along with Chaos’s, told me outright that an interesting fight was about to break out.

“How do you know that?”

“Do you see that guy?”

I pointed to the person wearing a hat. He was still quietly drinking water.

Kara looked at him and made a face as if to say, “What do you think?”

“That guy. He gave money to Jeomsoi. A lot of money at that.”

“Didn’t you order rice?”

“No. I didn’t order you to do it. I just gave it to you to tell you to keep your mouth shut.”

“There’s going to be a fight here soon?”

“huh.”

A normal person would tell you to avoid it. But who is Kara?

“Really? Then let’s go and take a look.”

“······huh?”

“Why? Honestly, it’s fun. We’re not the ones who get stabbed by a blind sword.”

Aren’t they the Tatars, a romantic nation between civilization and barbarism? They are even participants in the Unified Tribal Wars.

From Kara’s perspective, you might wonder why they should avoid watching other countries fight.

Besides, if that is a kind of culture, then it can be called culture. I blinked and nodded.

“Okay. Then what about food?”

“If we’re going to fall on the table, let’s just take the dishes with us.”

“huh.”

And just like she said.

-Wow!

The ronin went up to the second floor and not long after, a person fell onto our table.

Coincidentally, the food had just arrived, hot and fresh, so I quickly grabbed my plate.

-Crack!

The table broke exactly in half as the person fell. Kara and I carefully moved the food bowls.

“Catch him!”

“This kid! He knows who we are!”

The sound of metal crashing down from above began to be heard repeatedly. The guests on the first floor had long since fled as soon as the person fell.

It doesn’t matter if the customers look like they’re skilled. They just make an expression like they’ve stepped in shit and run away.

I decided that there was no need to get involved in other people’s business. I probably didn’t know what kind of skills the other person had.

-Slurp

“This is delicious. What’s its name?”

“Somen and Dongpa Pork.”

“I have to eat other things later.”

Regardless, we just moved the table and enjoyed our meal. Watching the fight every now and then was a bonus.

If I thought they might come this way, I just picked up the bowl and moved the seat. Thanks to that, I was able to enjoy a pleasant meal.

“Wow! This drink is really delicious. You should try it too.”

“huh.”

Even bamboo leaf tea, one of the special products of the Hwan Empire. Everything is perfect except for the fact that the guest house is in chaos.

Sometimes someone’s limbs get cut off and blood is sprayed out, but that’s okay. It’s someone else’s family’s business.

“Hey! You guys over there!”

“?”

“If you’re just going to watch, get out of here!”

Did they not like us like that? One of the warriors, presumably the escort, shouted at us.

Of course, it’s the language of the Huan Empire. Kara asked me while eating the noodles.

“What did you say that?”

“If you’re just going to watch, then get out.”

“Let’s just eat all of this and leave. It’ll be a nuisance.”

I agree. We pretended to slowly walk away and ate the leftover food.

But Chaos did not give us faith for nothing.

-Whoaaah!

“Kwaaak!”

A scream erupted along with the sound of something being cut.

-Pongdang!

A human hand flew towards my face.

“··· ···”

I didn’t add any toppings, but what is this? I haven’t even finished eating it yet.

I blankly stared at the floating noodles in my hand, then raised my head. The ronin and warriors were still fighting.

“Just throw it.”

“··· ···”

“Honestly, it’s weird that people fight while eating. They don’t even know manners.”

The princess of the romantic country of Tatar evaluated it.

“Those clueless kids.”

You guys are worse than savages.
