A Wild Man Has Entered the Academy - Chapter 483



Overwhelming Power (3)

There are several reasons why most soldiers have short hair and beards.

To maintain discipline. Because I’m annoyed by the sweat. Because I can’t help it for hygiene reasons. Because I’m afraid it’ll be annoying when I fight.

A large part of this is hygiene. Soldiers, due to the nature of their job, are often involved in combat and are often injured.

Especially in cases of head injuries, time is of the essence, but hair often gets in the way.

Moreover, long hair is not only a great hindrance in battle, but if caught by the enemy, there is a high possibility that you will be quickly subdued.

What about beards instead of hair? Like hair, beards are also kept cleanly shaven for hygiene and combat purposes.

Also, the beard needs to be cleanly shaven for identification purposes. Just growing a beard can significantly change a person’s impression.

Soldiers tend to keep their hair short and their jaws clean for a variety of reasons, but they sometimes grow beards.

Most of the time, they are raised because they have no choice but to do so due to a lack of supplies, but generals raise them without any problems.

Although beards make identification difficult, they have long been a symbol of ‘dignity’.

Masculinity that cannot be hidden. It is not easy to look down on him because he looks older than his actual age.

Therefore, high-ranking officials grow beards for various reasons, and this is no different for soldiers.

In particular, generals and higher in the East are instructed to grow beards in the name of maintaining dignity.

Anyway, people who are at the level of generals are unlikely to go directly to the front lines, and they should not be seen as easy.

To put it simply, a beard can be said to be a symbol of ‘experience’. The length of the beard varies depending on how much military service one has had.

In that sense, General Yi-ryong can be said to be the embodiment of chastity, and a great man respected within the military.

He even went to the front lines himself and boosted the morale of the soldiers, so he must have a great popularity.

-Pfft!

“Ugh!”

Then what is the use? Right now it is just a very good handle for the dragon.

I grabbed Guan Yu’s beard and pulled him towards me, then punched him in the face.

Since the two opposing forces were combined, even a simple punch would have been filled with incredible force. It would have probably broken his nose.

You might say that this is a lethal act, and it is. So what?

This guy is already plotting to kill me, and lethal actions are a given.

Anyway, the other soldiers also know that I will die and are watching. It is clearly shown here.

The dragon you blindly believe in is weaker than me. Dan Ye-rin has power that is in no way inferior to Dan Ju-cheon.

“Coolook! This savage!”

But is the general still a general? He quickly came to his senses even after being hit directly by my fist.

The broken nose and the blood flowing out of it were quite horrifying, but his spirit was still murderous.

Then he grabbed my wrist, which was holding my beard, and held it tightly. He was trying to somehow get it off.

But my hands wouldn’t budge. They were clenched tightly with the intent to break them, but it was meaningless.

-Whoaaah!!

“Ugh······!”

On the contrary, when I pulled at his beard, only the dragon felt pain. Perhaps an idea had occurred to him by now.

To get away from me, you have to cut your beard. However, Guan Yu’s beard is directly connected to his pride.

Will you throw away your pride and fight properly, or will you get beaten up to protect your pitiful pride?

-Pfft!

“Ugh!”

While Yi-ryong was pondering, he punched him in the cheek again. His head was thrown back, but his beard remained the same.

Not only that, but he even drove his knee into his stomach. Now that the beard has been caught, it can’t help but turn into a melee.

Yiryong also realized this and threw his sword on the ground and immediately entered the melee. He was quick to assess the situation.

‘But I couldn’t give up my beard.’

While I’m holding onto the beard with one hand, the dragon has both hands free. However, he can’t move.

Then what does it mean? The dragon also shouted about what I wanted.

“You use such ignorant methods, like a savage!!!”

A simple fist exchange. I fired a series of punches at the dragon’s face.

At first, it seemed like the dragon was dodging the attacks with great difficulty, but he couldn’t help but get hit a few times.

On the other hand, what did I do? I just avoided everything by looking at it with my own eyes. This is not a lie, it is a fact proven through rock-paper-scissors.

My body vision and reaction speed are much faster than that of the dragon. Every time the dragon threw a punch, my fist countered.

-Whoa!

The dragon finally grabbed my neck to keep my face still. But this was expected.

I lightly pushed his hand away and pulled at his beard.

-Whoaang!!

“Kwaaak!!”

The blow, which was much more painful than a fist, landed squarely on the dragon’s face. It was clear that his nose was twisted to the side.

The nose has a unique, sharp pain even if you just hit it wrong. It’s one of the body parts that is secretly sensitive.

So, even Yi-ryong would have a hard time coming to his senses by now. I told him indirectly.

“Have you never experienced a situation like this?”

“!!!”

Was he really scratched by that whining? The dragon’s face slowly turned red.

His facial skin slowly ripens like the sunset, just like Guan Yu. It means he’s really angry.

-Snap!

“Ugh!”

What can I do? The only thing I’ll do is get hit one more time.

I didn’t let go of the beard and beat him with my fist, regardless of whether the dragon was angry or not. Now it wasn’t a fight, it was a beating.

Even though Yi-ryong was a general, he tried to counterattack here and there, but it was useless. With his strength, he could never defeat me.

Even though it may seem like a fight without any sense of humor, it was ultimately a fight of strength versus strength. Of course, even Injagang Hector would not prefer this kind of fight.

‘Just cut your beard and be cool.’

I won’t let go until I cut my beard myself. I expressed that intention through my actions.

Even the dragon was not stupid, so he decided not to cut his beard until the end. Even so, his face would only get worse.

“Coolook! Ugh······”

“It’s terrible.”

As time passed, the end of this manly (and one-sided) fight was slowly in sight.

The dragon’s face was nearly twice as swollen as before, and drool was flowing from his mouth.

What about your eyes? They are so swollen that you can’t even open them properly, so it’s probably hard to see clearly.

A general of a country was defeated in this way, in a truly ignorant way, all because of that damn pride.

On the other hand, I have a clean body without a single scratch. In fact, my face hurt a little, but I recovered with my regenerative power.

“Let’s end it now. It’s weak.”

“You······ this······”

“Your effort is appreciated, so I’ll leave the beard on.”

Instead, I didn’t say anything about leaving it alone. I just grabbed the dragon’s beard and slowly stepped back.

The dragon also followed him, staggering and awkwardly. In the meantime, he picked up the Unwol Sword that had fallen on the ground. His determination was truly amazing.

-Whoaaah!!

“Ugh!”

I have no intention of giving him a chance. I just pulled hard at my beard.

Perhaps because he had been hit in the face so many times, his legs had lost their strength. The dragon knelt humiliatingly.

Everything else was fine, but it must have been unexpected that they would kneel. The soldiers’ reaction was unusual.

Unlike me who was completely fine, the appearance of the dragon was a mess. He even had his beard grabbed while he was on his knees.

On the outside, it looks like it’s crawling around with a ‘leash’ on. There are also things that are aimed at this.

If you break their hearts properly, they won’t even think about rebelling. If you break them vaguely, they’ll only grow a desire for revenge.

“You b*stard······ How dare······”

“··· ···”

“The prince······ will not forgive······”

“You know what? That’s why the prince trusted you. It’s because of your strength.”

I struck before Yi-ryong could even say anything. The only reason Dan-ju-cheon trusted Yi-ryong completely was because of his power.

But since that force has been completely broken, it is a foregone conclusion that it will fly out of sight. It will probably be targeting me.

Looking at Danjucheon’s expression now, it was possible to predict what would happen. Rather than being shocked, his face was frozen hard as he saw an unexpected situation.

Wouldn’t Yi-ryong, who could be considered his close associate, know that? I don’t think so at all.

“It’ll get thrown away. I’m sure of it.”

“··· ···”

“Choose carefully who you will trust from now on.”

As I said that, I pulled at my beard. The dragon’s body also collapsed and was dragged away.

I’m not going to drag you around like this. I’m just······

-Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

He just uses his beard as a handle and spins the dragon around. He must have taken good care of it so it doesn’t even get ripped off.

But I just spun it around a bit and blew it away because it might have been ripped off with the leather intact. Where?

-Deaeng!!!

Towards the bell that signaled the start. It was hit from the feet rather than the head, so it probably wouldn’t have hurt too badly.

I looked around to see that the dragon was no longer standing. A deathly silence settled in.

The soldiers reacted in disbelief at the fact that their respected general and warrior, Yi-ryong, was defeated by a mere academy student.

Of course, they must have been sure that I would die at the hands of the dragon.

‘By the way, I won’t get in trouble with Lize, right?’

What bothered me more was Lize. I looked in Lize’s direction.

Fortunately, Lize didn’t seem to care at all and just smiled bitterly as if she couldn’t stop me.

And Dan Ye-rin sitting next to her······

“··· ···”

He had his face covered with both hands and had an expression of rapture on his face. It was a reaction I had never seen before.

A faint flush appeared on the face, and the eyes became moist and wet. It was a strangely s*xy reaction.

‘What, what is it?’

It was good that they gave me confidence, but the reaction was unusual. This was also unexpected.

[Faith rises!]

Even Chaos sent ominous signals. Is this really okay?

Still, I guess I should just let it go, thinking that a good thing is a good thing. I had no choice but to try hard to pretend not to know.

‘If it’s Dan Ye-rin, she’ll sort it out quickly. Probably.’

It’ll be okay.
