A Wild Man Has Entered the Academy - Chapter 479



Physical (2)

Rock-paper-scissors is a game that can be said to be the original form of the so-called luck game.

It has both balance and luck, and can be said to be the most fair game of all time, East or West.

Even when something is justified, it is so justified that when it is defeated, it often ends in begging and praying earnestly.

But this only applies to ordinary people. It’s a different story for people who have built up some level of skill.

Just as there are many people who see arrows flying off the ground and catch them with their hands, it is the same with rock-paper-scissors.

If you are not engaging in psychological warfare, you can defeat them by seeing them with your own eyes. However, there are some difficult conditions that need to be met.

First of all, the first condition is that your body vision must be much better than your opponent’s. If your body vision is bad, it is meaningless.

Secondly, even if you detect it with body vision, you should be twice as fast as your opponent.

In fact, the second is the most important, because no matter how fast your body vision is, if you can’t react, it’s all for naught.

Therefore, winning at rock-paper-scissors ‘physically’ is proof that you are overwhelmingly stronger than your opponent. At least not to the point of losing.

“··· ···”

This is also why Yi-ryong’s face is so hard now. He played rock-paper-scissors over and over again, but he never won.

At first, you might have thought it was just luck, and the second time, you might have thought you didn’t put your heart into it. But not anymore.

The fact that you’ve never won despite doing it multiple times means that you lack the physical elements compared to me.

Perhaps the dragon also sensed that something was wrong. Even if I wanted to push physically, I was several steps ahead.

‘The physical is about the same as Reize’s.’

Even in terms of physical strength, Lord is slightly superior to me. Of course, it is only a small difference.

Lord is the type that is good at understanding the psychology of his opponents rather than physical strength. But that doesn’t mean he is lacking in anything.

Rather, whenever I play rock-paper-scissors, I often fall into reverse psychology and lose. It’s not for nothing that he’s called a swordsman.

“I won. Everything.”

“··· ···”

However, he is not a dragon. Compared to Lord, Lize, and lastly Hector, he lacks physical strength.

As the general of the country, he is much stronger than others, but it is still not enough.

After all, he is a general who commands an ‘army’. It is virtually impossible to have overwhelming military power like Hector.

‘The most fearful thing is not force, but power.’

I have no intention of ignoring the Dragon. As I said before, the military is the pinnacle of human power.

And the dragon is a powerful person who can control some of those troops. If you just use your head a little, you can figure it out right away.

But would he really bend his ‘pride’ and bring up the military? Would that indirectly admit that he is physically weaker than me, that is, weaker in military force?

Furthermore, the Yiryong is known as the strongest military force in the military. Spreading such trivial rumors is the same as causing a rift.

Even though he’s not saying anything right now, he’s probably thinking hard. What decision will he make?

‘It seems like Dan Ye-rin has noticed it too.’

Although she was relatively lacking in martial arts skills, she seemed to have realized how the situation was unfolding.

First of all, I showed that my physical abilities are much better than expected, so she must be thinking about it too.

In a situation where only heavy silence had settled, the first person to speak was Yi-ryong.

He spoke in a leisurely voice, stroking his beard as if trying to maintain his composure.

“You’re good at rock-paper-scissors. That’s about it, though.”

What he chose was pride. I smiled inwardly when I heard that.

Choosing pride means he made a choice. It didn’t make sense for him to turn away from pride.

So this means that the dragon will not move its army. At least, this side has the advantage until the rebellion breaks out.

“You don’t think you’re stronger than me just because you won that game, do you?”

“Yes. No. Just practicing body vision.”

“······I see.”

You are a guy with worse visual acuity than me. That is what I meant when I asked you that question.

Then, the dragon hesitated and then burst into laughter. The blood vessels on the back of his hand stood out slightly.

He would be even more upset because there was no malice in my tone. He must have heard rumors about me too.

‘I have to use it all.’

That’s why rumors are important. Everyone thinks so because the impact of being a wild man is so big.

A rude person who has not learned manners. However, the one who was actually rude was the other person.

“I guess it’s because of where they come from that they can’t tell the difference between the situation and the time. What do you think, Princess?”

“Well. From what I’ve seen so far, the Shivar isn’t so much rude as… he’s the type of person who can’t lie.”

“You can’t lie… That’s funny.”

Yi-ryong stroked his beard again. The prominent veins on the back of his hand stood out.

I wonder if he is suppressing the urge to punch me in the face right now. Even the dragon is showing patience.

‘Still, you’re still anxious.’

But Dan Ye-rin just remained calm, occasionally flinching or glancing at me.

I could see that he was still unsure and anxious. He still seemed doubtful.

In the end, I think I will feel relieved only when I clearly show the difference in skill between me and Yiryong.

“I wonder if that’s really a lie. It’s been a while since I’ve felt so good.”

“··· ···”

“How about returning to the palace after a long time? With the person next to you, too.”

“When would that be? You know, I don’t know, but I think I’d need permission from the academy to take you to Shivar.”

“I’ll tell you about that separately.”

As he spoke, Yi-ryong glared at me coldly. Anyone could see that it meant he was going to kill me.

Since my pride has already been severely damaged, the palace will do everything possible to stop me. They will openly bury me.

‘It’s your beard that’s being soaked.’

I also feel more comfortable being stuck in the palace. Then I can shave off that beard.

After that, they exchanged some trivial stories, and the conversation ended when Yi-ryong got up first.

Just before he left, Yi-ryong spoke to Dan-ye-rin as if he had forgotten.

“His Highness the Crown Prince has been waiting patiently for you, Princess.”

“··· ···”

It’s a kind of warning. To Dan Ye-rin, the prince is nothing but a nightmare from the past.

This time, it was a strong warning that they would destroy her properly. So, Dan Ye-rin had no choice but to clench her fists.

So, as the dragon went out, the two of us were left alone in the room. A subtle atmosphere settled between us.

“··· ···”

“··· ···”

“······Why did you do that?”

Dan Ye-rin was the first to speak. She spoke without even looking at me.

A voice that is both eerie and trembling. It is a voice that seems angry but is also filled with sadness.

As I was asking him a question, Dan Ye-rin slowly turned her head and looked at me.

His expression seemed a little angry, but his eyes were slowly filling with tears.

“Are you really… that you only feel better when you fight?”

“no.”

“Then why! Why did you make such a useless provocation! What kind of situation are we in······!”

“Yerin.”

I called her name quietly. Dan Ye-rin, who was about to shout in a voice that was almost tearful, closed her mouth.

But she couldn’t stop the tears from welling up in her eyes. She held them back somehow, but the situation was putting pressure on her.

If you’re not careful, you could lose all the opportunities you’ve worked so hard to seize, and your life could be in danger. And you’re not alone.

So let’s explain it to her. Simply telling her to believe it won’t be enough.

“I defeated the King of Destruction.”

“That was a duel!”

“Not a sparring match, but once before.”

“what?”

“Ask Kara. If you don’t believe me, ask Lord.”

I can’t give you the details due to time constraints. What she needs is certainty.

Dan Ye-rin stared blankly at me with a blank expression. Her face seemed to be unable to tell if what I was saying was true or a lie.

This is not the end. I told her about my experience.

“I survived in the forest. That’s why I know who’s strong.”

“··· ···”

“I’m stronger than that beard. Much stronger than that beard.”

In the wild, what matters is your own life. Also, carnivores are surprisingly careful about their bodies.

What if you make a mistake and get seriously injured and lose your hunting ability? If that happens, you’ll have a limited lifespan.

That’s why it’s important to understand your opponent’s strengths. They might go crazy.

‘But since I came here, I don’t need to do that anymore.’

Let’s forget about the times when I got beat up by Lord every day. I was immature back then.

“I trust you. But you don’t trust me?”

“That, that······ I was afraid that something might go wrong······”

“You hate variables. But Yerin.”

Dan Ye-rin hates variables because they are dangerous.

A personality that wants to eliminate variables as much as possible and proceed in the desired direction as much as possible.

But if things go this way, there will be no progress. Variables will always pop up, anytime, anywhere.

“The world doesn’t flow as we wish. It’s not kind. You know that, right?”

“··· ···”

“Trust me just this once. So that all remaining distrust can disappear.”

Trust is born of doubt. It is impossible to trust from the beginning.

Dan Ye-rin looked dumbfounded for a while after hearing what I said, and then she chuckled.

“If you say that······ I guess I have no choice but to back off.”

“thank you.”

“But Shivar. You haven’t forgotten this, have you?”

“what?”

In response to my question, Dan Ye-rin moved her hand secretly. She placed her hand on my thigh.

The moist eyes gave off a sense of sorrow and longing. At the same time, there was a desire that could not be hidden.

Then she stared at me intently, placed her other hand on her chest, and opened her mouth.

“When I give you my trust, I give you my body too.”

“··· ···”

“I hope you haven’t forgotten.”

Hmm. I didn’t expect that.

I felt a little dizzy for a moment and then glanced down.

Dan Ye-rin also has a very good ‘physical’ figure. Are you going to push forward with this?

‘Surely you won’t do it tomorrow?’

It’s no consolation that I don’t have time for that.

[Faith rises!]

What else?
