221 – Elephant (1)
Contrary to concerns, the hunter did not even see a proboscis while working in the forest.
Even in Porori’s territory, there were no individuals who robbed empty houses. Porori’s influence still remains strong.
Also, there was something very unusual about Porori’s area, and that was that there were a lot of squirrels.
It seemed to be a phenomenon that occurred because Porori is a squirrel. He must have personally eliminated natural enemies for the sake of his people.
Of course, it’s not a crazy amount. It’s just something you commonly see wherever you go.
‘Otherwise the ecosystem would have been ruined.’
If there are too many specific entities, the ecosystem will be destroyed. This is a natural phenomenon.
I don’t know if Porori knows that, but it’s at a reasonable level. Well, I’m just leaving it alone.
Anyway, the forest is gone, so today’s work is over. I guess I’ll have to take class again starting tomorrow.
“Oh, Kara.”
“Huh?”
“Is King Hector coming again this time?”
It was when I returned to Rod’s residence. Luna, who had just finished training, asked Kara.
She must have worked so hard that her hair was covered in sweat and stuck to her face. She’ll wash up right away when she gets back to the dorm.
Meanwhile, Kara heard Luna’s question, thought about it for a moment, and then shrugged her shoulders.
“Well, I probably won’t come. Isn’t that the magic stone mine we discovered last time? It’s bigger than I thought, so it’ll be very busy.”
Thanks to that mine, I made a lot of money through stocks. Just by depositing money, you can make money consistently.
And just like she said, Hector will not be able to attend this exam. It was the same in Soul World.
No matter how important the academy work is, there is nothing you can do when your own house is in chaos.
Even if there are two bodies, it will be difficult because the contract issue, which is the most sensitive issue among the Tatar people, is at stake.
“Really? That’s a shame.”
“Why all of a sudden? Are you really going to ask my father to spar?”
“Oh. How did you know?”
Luna was surprised when Kara asked her quickly. There’s something cute about the way her eyes are wide open.
In response, Kara made an expression that said, “That’s right, she is like that,” And expressed that she didn’t deserve it.
“Not yet. My father treats sparring almost as if it were real fighting. It’s the same for all Tatars.”
“Is that so… Mr. President?”
“Say it.”
Luna, who was depressed, called Rod. Unlike Luna, he didn’t break a sweat.
This clearly shows that there is a significant difference in skill level. Luna asked next.
“How much has my skill level improved now? Technique is more important than physical ability.”
“It’s technology… Can I use myself as the standard? Instead, I’ll exclude space-related technology.”
“Yes. It’s okay.”
“It’s probably about 50%. If we’re only looking at technology.”
This is a fairly high figure. Isn’t that 50% of the load in terms of technology alone?
You may say that this is some kind of fraudulent growth, but that’s the way it is when you receive teachings in Soul World as well.
But there was something more important than that…
“Instead, it’s an unstable 50%. Since I have no actual experience, it’s difficult to properly understand.”
“Is actual combat that important?”
“It is absolutely essential to increase the number of improvisations. Otherwise, it will only be used for self-defense.”
It is a practical experience. Luna has no combat experience other than hunting monsters.
No matter how much you practice, the actual game is different. Even if you don’t have to go far, you will clearly realize it during the melee.
‘Because in a melee, you have to make quick decisions.’
Of all the academy events, the brawl can be said to be the most realistic. And it’s not 1-on-1, it’s a melee battle.
You never know when and where fire or ice arrows will fly, and with enemies everywhere, it was difficult to even tell them apart.
Then we will see whether Luna’s true value will be revealed, or whether she will be confused and confused.
“But where is 50%? How long has it been since I learned it?”
“Objectively, talent is great. The best thing among them is sincerity.”
“hehehehe.”
Luna laughed brightly as Rod praised Kara. In fact, praise is what makes even whales dance.
‘It’s all good, but that guy’s mouth is the problem.’
Luckily, there was no snout fluttering today. The training must have been over, because all that was left was to disperse.
I was just about to wrap things up and leave. Luna, who was roughly organizing things, seemed to realize something and asked me.
“Now that I think about it, Sivar. Didn’t you pick some herbs today?”
“Huh? I didn’t turn it off. Why?”
“I heard you went into the forest, so I thought you were picking it up like yesterday. I was wondering if you could lend me some herbs that are good for recovering from fatigue.”
You can just skip this point and move on. The problem was that Kara was here.
Kara listened to her Luna and raised one of her eyes as if she felt something was strange.
“Like yesterday? You mean you went to the forest yesterday too?”
“Yes. I went with Ellie yesterday?”
“······Yes?”
“··· ···”
With those words, Kara turned her head with a strange expression. When she turned her head, Ellie was there.
It seems that Ellie didn’t feel her gaze because he was concentrating on cleaning up after her. Or maybe she’s just pretending not to know.
“······A real fox. Fox.”
Kara muttered meaningfully. Even though she muttered softly, I could hear it all.
“Ellie is a fox? Where is she going?”
“··· ···”
It seems Luna also heard it. That’s because she said it with her own mouth.
When Ellie’s name was mentioned, she looked at him with a puzzled expression.
“What about me? I didn’t hear what was said.”
“I was just thinking of an animal that looked similar.”
“An animal that looks like me?”
“Yes. I am a lion, and Shivar is a cat, and so on.”
Fortunately, Kara responded appropriately. Now, she seems to be handling Luna’s snout skillfully.
Does she think of herself as a lion, by the way? It suited her really well, as did her appearance.
Well, since I cause so many accidents, I guess they treat me like a cat.
“Then what animal looks like me?”
“··· ···”
I didn’t say anything to that question. When I looked at Ellie, there was only one animal that came to mind.
But I think it would be a bit awkward if she said this directly. So it’s better to keep her mouth shut.
“······Dairy cow?”
Our Luna Luna doesn’t have anything like that. When Luna spoke openly, her awkward mood instantly subsided.
Do you know that this is a somewhat s*xually harassing remark? Although it is rich, the gist of the problem is numerous.
However, just as Luna’s mouth was not easy, Ellie’s personality was also not easy.
Even when people called her a cow, she smiled brightly and spoke brightly.
“It’s amazing. Even my classmates say I’m a dairy cow.”
“Who.”
“Who.”
Me and Kara said almost at the same time. Both contained calm anger.
First of all, I have to think about killing those bastards first. But unfortunately, there was no need to worry.
It turns out that Porori dealt with those comrades a long time ago. Well, all the people who call people that way are like that.
“Then what about me? What kind of animal am I?”
What? There is only one Luna.
“Parrot.”
“Why?”
I’m asking because I don’t know that.
*****
The next day dawned and class did not start as usual… I just had morning classes.
As everyone knows, there will be sparring and fighting starting today. Dalian is mainly for students who did not attend last semester.
Of course, I did not attend here. There was no reason to attend and I wasn’t really interested in the point.
The real fight is on Thursday. Friday will be given a break due to concerns about injuries after the brawl.
“Is there anything I need to worry about when it comes to brawls?”
Kara asked a question while we were eating together at the buffet. She seemed to mind the scuffle, too.
It is not a one-on-one fight, but rather a fight involving as many as three classes. No matter how Kara is, there is no business in terms of quantity.
“You need to pay attention… I don’t know. If you have to, how about figuring out what kind of person the other person is?”
Grace, who was cutting a steak, shrugged her shoulders and answered. It’s not a very clear answer.
But it is best to answer in that way. Because no one knows what will happen in a brawl.
The only way to respond is to collect rumors from the other party. This is the best strategy.
“Even so, it won’t work for Mr. Sivar.”
“That’s right.”
It’s rare for Kara and Grace to get along well. What about Luna…She is just eating quietly.
You might say that I trust myself too much, but melee is an area in which I am confident.
No matter how strong a person is, getting hit by a blind arrow is a struggle. This can’t be helped.
But I have a body that regenerates quickly even if I am hit by a blind arrow.
‘Although my body is not as hard as steel like some people.’
Proper examples include Kwon Seong and Rize. If I am just as hard as steel, then she is harder than steel.
Even though I cut it hard with an axe, there was barely a single scratch. How surprised I was back then.
‘There won’t be another person like that.’
Is there one more thing like that in the world? There are clear signs that the world is about to fall.
Rize makes even the devil scream like a girl. It’s truly terrifying that there is another such being.
‘······No. ‘There’s only one person I’m worried about.’
Suddenly, a vegan nun with pink hair came to mind.
I don’t know what she did during her vacation, but her breasts are much bigger than before.
Erica was distraught after being subjected to factual violence by Kara and a chaotic spell by Luna.
So I went to see Rize and asked her for advice, and she changed as a person.
‘You’ll find out during the fight.’
You will soon find out what has changed. For now, let’s just focus on eating.
“What is that?”
At that time, I heard Luna’s voice in my ear. It is full of embarrassment.
He looked at her with a questioning look in her teeth. He looked like he was asking what that was.
I followed Luna’s gaze. And I was able to witness a very absurd scene.
“Wow… Are those all vegetables and fruits?”
“Mr. Shibar doesn’t eat that much either…”
“··· ···”
As Kara and Grace assessed, there was a mountain made of food.
To be exact, it is a mountain composed only of vegetables and fruits. There was a lot of it on the bowl.
It’s so bad that you can’t see anyone who can defeat it. That’s hard for even me to eat, but who eats that much?
‘Who is it?’
I couldn’t control my curiosity and quietly got up from my seat. I’m just going to check on people and then come back.
After taking a few steps, I found a very familiar figure behind me. First of all, there is no need for anything, the pink hair is the highlight.
“······Erica?”
“Hmm?”
When I quietly called his name, the person eating turned his back. Judging by the pink eyes, it was clear that it was Erica.
As soon as she saw me, her eyes widened and she immediately shouted as if she was happy to see me.
“Ah, Mr. Shivar. Hello. Have you eaten?”
“I’m doing it. But…”
I asked, pointing to the mountain of vegetables and vegetables.
“Are you going to eat all of this?”
“Yes. Is there any problem?”
“··· ···”
What is it, an elephant?
