A Wild Man Has Entered the Academy - Chapter 474
473 – What Happened at the Inn (2)
What kind of country is the East? It is a region that places greater importance on ‘etiquette’ compared to other regions.
Looking at this, you might ask if Westerners are savage and can do it, but that is not the case. It is just a cultural difference.
But some say that the reason why etiquette is so important in the East is because they basically don’t know etiquette.
They say that because people don’t know manners and commit all sorts of bizarre acts and concepts, that kind of culture has become established.
It’s more of a joke, but when you look at the state of the Huan Empire, you can’t just dismiss it as a joke.
As his body grew, he not only swallowed up the Allied nations like a gangster, but he also had many social problems.
The government does not interfere with the affairs of the martial arts world, which is called the inviolability of official duties. In fact, this story also has many problems.
It was practically the same as excluding the ‘public security’ that the country was supposed to manage. How could ordinary people live normally like this?
It is an ideology that is barely consistent with the social framework, and in terms of Earth, it is something that can only be seen in the Wild West era.
That may be why they placed more importance on manners. Even if you get into a big fight for no reason, the government, that is, the country, will not help you.
So, before you start a fight and lose your limbs or life, learn as much manners as possible and don’t make a mess of things.
The world is full of all kinds of weirdos, so not everyone knows manners, but wouldn’t it be okay if it became part of the culture?
These complex factors are at work to explain why the East, and especially the Huan Empire, placed such importance on etiquette.
‘It’s just that there are only useless people there.’
I frowned at the martial artists who had personally added to the trinkets. The martial artists were just thugs.
No matter what, people are fighting in a place where they are eating? Even people left on their own as if it was a familiar routine.
When learning table manners, it seems that the concept was eaten up along with the table. Otherwise, this wouldn’t be an everyday thing.
‘The person who did this······’
The ronin who offered silver to Jeomsoi earlier. He is a ronin wearing a hat.
The person who swept away the people on the second floor by himself and very kindly topped my noodles with a human hand.
When fighting the escort warrior, small scars appear here and there. Judging by the general appearance, it seems like he has a personal grudge.
-Whew!
But then what? You’re the one who interrupted my enjoyable mealtime.
I threw the bowl of noodles that the person was holding. At whom? At the hat-wearing ronin.
-Shhh!
Even though he pretended not to be a ronin, he must have been watching us, as he lightly slashed upward with his sword as soon as I threw the bowl.
As the bowl split in half, the hand of the person inside was also split in half. It was a clean blow.
“······What are you doing?”
The ronin turned his head and looked at me. It was more like he was curious as to why I was doing that than angry.
Perhaps, since I, a foreigner, was provoking him without being provocative, he probably felt more curious than annoyed.
I opened my mouth after looking at the guards and the person behind them who were still on guard. Naturally, it was in the language of the Huan Empire.
“Pay for the meal.”
“Hmm? Imperial language······?”
“You have no manners at the dinner table.”
“··· ···”
The ronin was surprised that I spoke the Imperial language fluently, but then he closed his mouth as I continued to speak.
Even though his eyes were covered by the hat, he probably had a dumbfounded expression on his face. But he had to say what he had to say.
“Hey, hey guys! You guys!”
“?”
While the Ronin was silent, I heard a voice calling me from the other side. It was behind the guards.
A man with a beard and a well-built body was looking this way. His eyes were squinted, like squints.
It may seem like he doesn’t like it on the surface, but that’s not important right now. What’s important is what he’s saying.
“Hey, can you help me clean up that guy who doesn’t even know table manners! If you have something to say, shouldn’t you at least say it somewhere other than the restaurant?”
“What is that pig saying?”
“Get that guy out of the way. If you have something to say, say it somewhere other than the restaurant. He has no sense.”
“Every single word is correct?”
As Kara said, rather than being disliked······, the words of an ugly and fat person are absolutely right.
If you have something to say, it’s natural to say it somewhere other than a restaurant.
Even if an unreasonable incident occurs, the principle is to take the case to court rather than using force.
‘The problem with this country is that it doesn’t do that well.’
It’s not that they use force for no reason. The East is a conservative region with many frustrating aspects.
Of course, apart from this, it is a big mistake to turn all the table manners upside down. If you are going to take revenge, you should go somewhere else and do it.
At this, I nodded and indicated that I would help. Then, the pig’s expression brightened.
I don’t know much about my skills, but I guess I’m glad I helped anyway.
“You are needlessly urging orders. This is not the place for a person of color to interfere.”
“A guy who doesn’t even know manners. A guy like that deserves to be beaten.”
“Can you say something like that after suffering injustice?”
“At least you shouldn’t do it where you eat. Don’t touch a dog while it’s eating.”
Even dogs don’t touch each other while they’re eating. What an interesting saying.
The ronin seemed to have similar thoughts to me as he snickered. Then he straightened up and spoke.
“Do you know why dogs don’t touch you? It’s because vicious ones bite. I wonder if you are a dog.”
“You’re worse than a dog.”
“what?”
“I know you all know this, but I just touched you. Oh. Wasn’t there anyone who could teach you manners?”
“Oh······ Oh······”
Leaving behind the pig who was spitting out exclamations that were not exclamations.
“What if your parents didn’t teach you?”
“··· ···”
He coolly kicked the pad lip. Then, the ronin’s momentum became unusual.
As the atmosphere became tense, Kara tried to sneak out, but I stopped her. She still had the noodles in her hand.
“Eat first. Then look around.”
“okay.”
Unlike me, Kara’s noodles were okay, so I ate less Dongpa pork.
At my words, Kara stepped back, and the escort warriors, including the pig, gradually moved away.
The ronin also turned his body completely towards me. It seemed like he was targeting me rather than the pig.
“You’re urging orders without thinking. Let me remind you that your mouth is the cause of trouble.”
“huh.”
-Tadat!
As soon as I answered, the ronin approached me at a fast pace. Not a bad pace.
But by my standards, it’s still really slow. Maybe it’s because I see so many people using the shrinking method.
It is an approach of an ordinary person rather than a feeling of transcending space and space. A light technique using physical specifications.
-Whew!
The same goes for swords. Even if they were sharp stabs, they only did so much.
If you often fight against a monster called Geomseong, you will naturally start to underestimate it.
That’s why familiarity is scary. Things that were already weak looked even weaker when compared to the road.
I opened my mouth, staring at the tip of the sword poking my face. I have only one thing to show you.
-Bam!
Biting the sword with your teeth. A technique I’ve used before.
“What?!”
Even the ronin was greatly surprised, as if he didn’t know how to block the stabbing with his mouth. The same goes for the onlookers.
Only Kara muttered, “There she goes again…” Why would she say “again” when she only did it once?
-Wooddeok! Chaekang!
I used my teeth to break the Ronin’s sword. He will no longer be able to use stabbing.
The ronin stepped back as soon as his sword broke. He then looked back and forth between his sword and me.
He seems to find it hard to believe. After all, even a martial artist would find it difficult to commit such an act.
“two.”
He spat his sword on the ground and it rolled around with a clatter. The ronin was still holding his sword.
However, he seems to be at a loss as to what to do about my eccentric behavior. He must have intuitively sensed that something was wrong.
“I’ll send it if you give me money.”
“Ha! That mouth!”
Even if I personally showed mercy, the ronin seemed to have taken it as a provocation. But I was being serious.
If you had just paid for my meal, I would have really let you go. But what can I do? People in the East value their dignity.
The ronin threw away his broken sword and charged with his bare hands. Judging from the way his fists were clenched, it seemed like he had learned some martial arts.
“ha!!!”
-Kwaang!!!
Soon, the ronin used a long-hand strike, not a strike, to hit my temples. The cool sound spread throughout the guesthouse.
Of course, the seeds didn’t work either. I just stared blankly at the long ball that was stuck in my temple.
-Wood thud!!!
Instead, an ominous sound is heard from the Ronin’s hand. It is the sound of bones breaking with a 100% probability.
Since it was a long hit, I expected it to be more of a wrist than a palm.
“Kwaaak!!”
As I expected, the ronin grabbed his own wrist and stepped back. I only defended myself, but I was the only one injured.
The time when he was setting the mood has disappeared without a trace. What’s the use of being proud of your own skills? There are many people who are much stronger than you.
The long hit didn’t hurt that much either. At least not when I think back on the time I got beaten up by Lize.
“That, the indestructible diamond?! What the heck······!”
“··· ···”
The Easterners all say the same thing. How surprised they would be if they knew that it also had regenerative powers.
I scratched my cheek and looked at the ronin. He was holding my tattered wrist and breathing heavily.
Now, I think it would be a good idea to wrap things up a bit. Before that, I think it would be a good idea to make a final proposal.
“I’ll send it if you give me money.”
“Shut up! Do you know who I am and say such nonsense······!”
“Tell me. I wonder what kind of family doesn’t teach you table manners.”
“··· ···”
From noble mtl dot com
The moment you mention who I am, I will curse you because you are a family with no manners. He left such threatening words.
Then he became a dumb person who had eaten honey. He must have realized that he would lose the moment he said something. Anyway, he is quick-witted.
“shit!”
But he was a man who knew how to distinguish between right and wrong. The ronin used his lightness to escape outside.
But I still haven’t received the money. As soon as I read the ronin’s intentions, I looked around the floor.
Because there was so much chaos, there are a lot of objects suitable for throwing. One of them is a bowl.
Then he picked up a bowl and threw it at the back of the head of the ronin who was running away.
-Tingle!!!
“Ugh······!”
Maybe it was because he threw it quite hard. The ronin fell to the ground with a final cry.
I must have fainted when I saw it just lying there without moving. If I had just paid, it wouldn’t have happened.
Anyway, the whole situation was over. I said to the guards and the pig who were just staring blankly.
“It’s finished.”
And coming back.
“Excuse me, sir, may I ask your name?”
It was a polite question, unlike anyone else’s.
