150 – Fun (3)
“Si, Sivar, why are you here… No. What you said before… Again…”
Kara, who was thoroughly traumatized, spoke gibberish. She seems to be trying her best to somehow figure out the situation.
This is something that anyone who has served in the military or has similar experience has no choice but to react to.
Kara is probably confused as to why I know that.
Of course, I also had experience with that, so I dug into it properly.
“······Wait a minute. Really?”
Kara, who belatedly realized the situation, hurried out of the tent.
I stayed still even as she took her steps. There is nothing I can do now anyway.
Soon, Kara searches through the castle, where the atmosphere itself has changed. But there was nothing she could see.
Not only the other tents, but even the workers who were sleeping comfortably on the castle walls. Everyone was evacuated.
“You did it?”
“Yes.”
“No matter what, it was still too quiet? I knew you were coming so I lit everything, even the fire.”
Kara asked with an undertone of incomprehension. It seems hard to believe that the castle was taken so easily.
Honestly, I sneaked in considering the slight disturbance. However, the work progressed easily due to negligence on the part of the workers.
“I heard you were sleeping?”
“Sleep? Who? Could it be the guards on the castle wall?”
“Yes. Lean against the wall and cool down.”
“Ah. These bastards… I warned them not to sleep like that…!”
As soon as Kara realized that the sentry had been sleeping around, she ran her hands down her face.
You must be waking up and feeling sad because of the sudden death of a soldier that exists everywhere.
But the work was already done, and the castle was completely taken over. Kara is the only one left.

“Phew… So what are we going to do now?”
“Huh?”
“What are you going to do with me? Honestly, if I fight you, all I’ll do is hit a rock on an egg. If you’re going to eliminate me, eliminate me cleanly. I’ll save my stamina and do it at the same time.”
It looks like the option of fighting me was ruled out from the beginning. The same goes for the option of running away.
Originally, it would be best to eliminate her, but she suddenly thought of an interesting way.
There is no need to fight Kara, there is a peaceful way.
“Let’s go together.”
“What?”
“Let’s go together.”
“Shall we go together? To your base?”
In response to Kara’s question, I nodded her head. Kara then made a puzzled expression.
Afterwards, she thought deeply and asked in a cautious voice.
“What if I run away from here?”
“I’ll catch you.”
“······Hmm. Hmm.”
When I confidently answered that I would catch it, Kara hesitated and then cleared her throat.
Then he glanced at me and asked me a question in a skeptical voice.
“Is it because you want to be with me?”
“······?”
That’s not true, it’s because I had an interesting idea. I didn’t say anything.
Isn’t it possible for such a misunderstanding to occur just yesterday morning?
They even eliminated the other students, excluding only Kara. Until I took another drink and took it with me.
There are so many things to misunderstand. Well, it was half true, so I didn’t bother to explain it.
“Okay, let’s go together. I’ll see what you’re thinking. Anyway, no matter what you do, you’ll be suppressed by force.”
Fortunately, Kara didn’t have any doubts and obeyed obediently. I’m not lying. If I had run away, I would have caught him right away.
Soon, he opened the gate and began returning to the occupied area with Kara.
If you return to the occupied area, they will immediately come to occupy the castle. My job is done.
“Ugh. If I had known this would happen, I would have been on alert. After all, I’m not even a soldier, so there’s no way I’d have experienced something like this.”
“··· ···”
“Shivar, are you on watch?”
“Yes.”
Rather than being on watch, he is always conscious. Since acquiring wild instincts, I have rarely had a good night’s sleep.
Besides, the only time I slept soundly was when I passed out. Since my ears are always open, I wake up immediately when I hear a sound.
“Was there something like that in the contract? That I had to be on guard?”
“I’m standing up. I can’t sleep.”
“Really? That’s fascinating.”
Even though it was pitch black, Kara and I returned to the occupied area without any problems.
I have fairly bright night vision, and my senses are excellent, so I was able to roughly distinguish objects in the dark.
Chin-
“Eek.”
“Be careful.”
But it was difficult to check underfoot. I saw Kara about to fall and she caught her right away.
“Thank you. It’s early morning so I can’t see anything. There’s little moonlight today.”
“Let’s hold hands.”
“What?”
“Let’s hold hands. I will help you.”
“Uh…Yeah.”
Kara was shaking, but held my hand. His hands are covered in hard calluses, like those of a skilled warrior.
My hands were quite strong, but Kara’s hands seemed even stronger. It would be natural, since she would have held a weapon in her hand all her life.
“Now that I think about it, have I ever held hands with you?”
“I don’t know?”
“It’s not very soft, is it?”
“It’s okay.”
Kara seems to be worried about that too. But I have no intention of comparing.
I actually liked these hands more. I felt like I was trying desperately and trying hard to survive.
Lise told me that a person’s hands, along with the eyes, are a standard for indicating the object. After touching it myself, I think I know what I mean.
“Shivar, your hands are also very hard. You have more scars than calluses.”
“Yes.”
“Didn’t it hurt?”
“It hurt. It hurt a lot.”
As soon as I fell into the forest, I was hit by a wolf and my left arm was bitten by a wolf.
I was embarrassed for a while because I was left-handed at the time. After that, he went through various hardships.
Although there were a lot of scars all over his body, he could definitely say that they were very small compared to his hands. It hurt that much.
“We’re all here.”
“You’re doing your duty properly. I’m jealous.”
After talking about various things, we returned to the occupied area.
Luckily, our team’s watchdog was on alert, so they were very surprised as soon as they saw us.
Then they went inside and reported the news, and soon after, the command staff came out.
“Whoaaam… Huh? Mr. Sivar. Next to him…”
“Sister Kara?”
Grace yawned gracefully and Luna came out with sleepy eyes. They showed a curious reaction when they saw Kara next to me.
I immediately went behind Kara and hugged her. This is the so-called back hug.
“What are you doing? What are you doing all of a sudden…?”
Kara is very embarrassed when she is lifted up through a back hug. She is so tall that her feet are barely off the ground.
I looked at Grace and Luna, leaving Kara in confusion. Perhaps because he just woke up from sleep, he seems to be busy trying to figure out the situation.
“I caught it.”
“What?”
“······Yes?”
Kara and Grace each raised doubts when they heard that they had been captured.
I think a more detailed explanation is needed. In response, he lifted Kara up and calmly spoke to her.
“Prisoner. Kara is now a prisoner.”
“······Wait a minute. Sivar? What do you mean? I’m a prisoner?”
“··· ···”
Kara asked urgently when she heard that they had been taken prisoner. Grace also opened her eyes wide, wondering what kind of situation this was.
It must be absurd that the prisoner was actually walking on his own feet. But this is my advanced strategy(?).
As supplies were running low, there was a need to finish the test early.
“Kara.”
“Uh, huh?”
“You were kidnapped.”
“······?”
Kara was deceived.
******
When was the last time you experienced something so absurd in your life? There were too many to list, but I think I will remember this day clearly.
Kara, a Tatar princess and a warrior who was very active during the tribal war, has now been taken prisoner due to deception that was not just deception.
There were no prisoners taken even in the tribal unification war. In some cases, Hector’s military power was strong, and there were also cases where he could resolve the issue with words.
“Ha. Indeed. Are there any cases like this?”
“That’s right. The more I looked at Sivar, the better his head turned.”
Luna also agreed with Kara’s empty words. For reference, Kara is currently tied up with a rope.
The person watching next to him was Luna, but it actually didn’t mean much. Kara has already completely given up.
It was as if we had been defeated since the sentries were spread out. Taking Kara captive was the equivalent of confirmed kill.
“To put it in a good way, it’s smart. In a bad way, it’s being cunning. Are you saying that taking me prisoner was something Sivar did arbitrarily?”
“Yes. The original plan was to kill the castle’s personnel alone and then go in.”
Luna couldn’t hide her wonder. She certainly followed through on her plan, but she reaped more than that.
Shivar understood the final exam system better than anyone else. Originally, it was a system where if you fainted, you were immediately evacuated.
However, if they are captured as they are now, there will be no need to evacuate them, and the opponent will suffer a huge loss of power.
What’s more, the person taken prisoner was Kara, who was the commander and was in charge of more than half of the force.
From the opposing team’s point of view, not only was there a hole in their command, but there was also a huge gap in their power.
“This is not the end. Sivar made this proposal to Ms. Grace. Let’s push forward negotiations by taking Kara hostage.”
“What? What does that mean?”
“She suggested that we sign a contract with them just like we did with her. If we give in to what they want, her sister will go back to the same situation.”
“Wow…Now I can only say admiration.”
Kara opened her mouth in sincere admiration. She hasn’t received any training, but she can’t believe the idea of exchanging prisoners.
All the characteristics of prisoners, contracts, and siege warfare were collected. It was all thought of by Shivar alone.
‘No matter how you think about it, it’s amazing.’
Luna turned her head and looked towards where Sivar was. Sivar was seen enjoying the meal served at the supply station.
Other students were stuck within the confines of ‘exams’ and could hardly come up with such ideas. This is a phenomenon that occurred as everyone focused only on exams.
More than anything, a huge sacrifice must be made to capture Kara. In other words, this is something only Shivar can do.
“Ugh. In fact, the exam is over. If the castle was taken in vain and the negotiations broke down, it would be meaningless.”
“Isn’t she interested in exams anyway?”
“That’s true, but I feel bad. Things got so screwed up because the sentry slept around.”
“Hmm. That’s also true. Thanks to that, other people also realized how important sentry soldiers are.”
What Sivar did during the early hours of the morning came back as a great lesson.
The moment you fail to be vigilant, you can lose the war.
It is not for nothing that they say that you can forgive a soldier who failed in an operation, but you cannot forgive a soldier who failed in his guard.
Of course, the result would have been similar since the infiltrated human was Sivar, but at least Kara would not have been taken prisoner.
Kkiik-
It was when Kara and Luna were chatting about various things. The castle gate, which had been firmly closed, slowly opened.
Soon, the opposing team appeared beyond the gate. Personnel who should be considered a kind of delegation.
There were two people as guards, led by Antonio.
“You’re here. Do you know what the negotiations are?”
“Well, first of all, I heard that Grace and Shivar will come forward in person.”
“Grace aside, even Sivar? Can I take a look too?”
“Of course.”
Luna helped Kara up. Everything was fine with her, but I couldn’t free her.
Well, even if they tried to capture her, they only ended up tying her wrists with rope. Even though she was Kara, she had little intention of escaping.
“You’re here. Shall we prepare a table then?”
“Let’s do that.”
Antonio, who came as a delegation, glanced at Kara, who was taken prisoner.
A test that went awry due to the sentry’s neglect of duty. He had already sensed that this test was doomed.
Still, shouldn’t we get as many individual scores as possible? The team performance is a mess, but I plan to bring in individual results at least.
“No. Are you kidding me? Are you asking for supplies? We’re running out of food right now?”
But as soon as I saw the details of the negotiation, I couldn’t help but get angry.
The main content of the negotiations over there is to provide supply. It’s okay up to this point.
“I don’t know if it’s enough for one day, but isn’t it too much to ask for half of the supplies for 4 days? That’s just asking for it!”
They asked for half of the supply for 4 days, which was at the level of telling you to just lose.
Even so, there is a severe shortage of drinking water. Due to the human cannonball incident in Sibar, all the containers containing drinking water exploded.
Grace did not give in to Antonio’s hardships. On the contrary, negotiations continued with a very relaxed attitude.
“Right… No, Kara is worth it. What can you do without Kara?”
“Ha. Mr.······”
Antonio was dizzy for a moment. There was nothing wrong with what Grace said.
Without Kara, it would have been difficult to fight head-on, and establishing a plan would have been quite difficult.
There was a significant difference in whether or not one had practical experience. There is a reason why all teams preferred Kara as their commander.
“······Okay. 4 Days will be difficult for us as well…”
“4 Days.”
This was before Antonio even spoke. Sivar, who had been quiet until now, opened his mouth.
It was an extremely simple word, but the meaning contained in it was not simple at all.
“······Look at this. Asking for half of the supplies for four days is two days’ worth…”
“4 Days.”
“Do you think I’m kidding? Just the amount you eat…!”
“Day 4. I don’t like being hungry.”
Shivar did not give in and just repeated the situation for four days. Antonio’s face began to turn red.
I hate starving. So, if you don’t provide supplies for four days, I will rob you.
In a negotiation that was nothing short of a dilemma, Antonio’s choice was simple.
“Don’t do it! Just don’t do it! Let’s see who wins!”
It’s about turning the table upside down. It was obvious that he couldn’t eat it because it was so disgusting and dirty.
Grace smiled because she also expected this. Combined with his unique fierce eyes, he gave off a somewhat intimidating look.
“Good. Negotiations have broken down. Mr. Shivar?”
“Yes.”
The moment the negotiations broke down, the outcome was decided.
“It’s time for supplies to arrive in an hour. Then go to the occupied area over there and get it.”
“Okay.”
“Hey. You guys really…”
The final exam, unlike the midterm exam, ended early.
