225 – Raid (2)
William is an ordinary academy student.
No. He can be said to be one of those students who boasts a fairly high ranking rather than being average.
He was born and educated into a noble family, not a commoner, and confidently entered the United Academy.
Since then, he has consistently received good grades and has grown step by step, earning the trust of his professors.
There were rumors that he was receiving attention from his home country, so it felt like his life would be in good hands if things continued like this.
And this was actually true, so the other side didn’t pay much attention to it. All other students were competitors.
“But what on earth happened to that half? There’s never a day when it’s not quiet, right?”
“What?”
“You know, Class A. A class with both barbarians and wild people.”
“Ah. There?”
But that doesn’t mean I don’t have friends. There were friends everywhere.
A friend who is not interested in grades and spends his youth at the academy. He is the person who acts as a mood maker in the class.
“Do we really need to care? No matter how strong it is, the rumors may be exaggerated.”
William also recently heard a famous rumor from the Academy. First, the barbarian, Kara.
There has been news for a long time that Tatars were admitted. This is because of Kara’s adjustment period.
At the time, Kara committed acts of violence due to discrimination, and she frequently received community service.
Rumors were also formed at that time that, like barbarians, they often used violence. Even after I officially enrolled, the rumors did not go away.
“As you said, the rumors may have been exaggerated. But there are more than just one or two bizarre rumors. Moreover, you said you even witnessed one?”
“I saw some crazy guy climbing the monument with his bare hands.”
William recalled his early days at the Academy. A time when he wandered from place to place to memorize directions.
It was an ordinary day, just like any other day, but he watched it clearly with his own two eyes.
I saw a man for the first time climbing the monument with his bare hands like a monkey.
The monument cannot use magical power through special magic. Therefore, I had no choice but to climb barefoot, but I managed to climb to the end.
“That’s not all. I heard that he nearly maimed a professor who was trying to rape a duke’s daughter, and that he destroyed several buildings. Recently, he ripped out the tongue of a student who insulted him?”
William’s friend listed the rumors. Although it seemed a bit exaggerated, it was mostly factual.
In addition, he is stronger than the professors, is receiving attention from all over the world, is close to Lord, etc.
It was not a rumor that could come from just one person. When William heard that, he asked back in an absurd voice.
“Hey. Even if there is only one of the things you said, you will be treated as crazy. Does it make sense that one person did it all?”
“Hmm… Is that so? Actually, there’s more than this.”
“What is it?”
“It is rumored that during the midterm exams, the professors put a combat limit on the wild man, and the wild man repaid the favor with waterboarding. And they even made a bomb vest and carried out a suicide attack?”
“Aren’t you really crazy? If you did that, you should have been expelled a long time ago. Make sense.”
Yes. These are eccentricities that make no ‘common sense’ sense. It’s hard to believe that one person did that.
If you do just one of the things mentioned above, you can become a big star in a different sense.
But no, thanks to the cover-up work by Rod and the professors, we were able to get over it.
In other words, the other half is a wild person and has no idea how strange Sivar is.
“Okay, I’m curious how strong that wild man is. I heard he’s stronger than a barbarian.”
“Looks like you’re in 5th place? Your original score was high, but all of it was reduced through penalty points.”
“This is somewhat realistic.”
Still, I was wary of strength itself. First of all, the ranking was pretty high.
Furthermore, not only Sivar but others were also on guard. In Sibar’s class, there was not only Kara but also Luna.

Although Luna may be a bit eccentric, she is a talented person who entered school at the top of her class. She can never sit idly by.
“But we still have priests, right?”
“That’s true too.”
However, William was not worried. The reason is the existence of priests.
Clergy are a very valuable human resource, and their presence or absence often changes the game.
In addition, since Gaia, the god of life, is believed in, it is bound to be even more rare.
“But it’s a bit…”
“Isn’t it strange?”
“It’s scary. I wonder what happened during the vacation…”
But they responded with a bit of annoyance. At the same time, I thought of the rumored priest.
Hair reminiscent of oriental cherry blossoms and matching eyes. Originally, he was a priest who aroused a desire for protection due to his slender body.
Although the fact that they enforced vegetarianism was a negative point, I thought everyone would do it because they looked cute so I passed on it.
But what happened after vacation? I don’t know what happened, but my body and even my mind have changed.
“I still remember that big chest with all the muscle.”
“Rumor has it that he received teachings from a saint, but what kind of teachings did he receive…?”
William shook his head. At first, I thought that Chaos, the god of chaos, had ruined a talented person.
However, as time passed, I realized that this was not the case. It’s not ruined, it’s improved.
The problem is the level at which monkeys evolved into humans. In terms of support, the human resources were excellent, but the method was terrible.
“Couldn’t we just pray normally?”
“Leave it alone. Except when it’s dangerous, we do it normally.”
“I hope so.”
It was a sad feeling in many ways, but the important thing now is the fight. They decided to focus on the brawl first.
In a melee, skill is important, but intuition is the most important. The future would be easier if the strongest candidates for the championship were eliminated first.
In that sense, William decided to target Kara, who was rumored to be strong.
No matter how strong you are, it is meaningless in front of a group. The problem is whether other teams will accept this as well…
“This won’t work. Let’s catch that barbarian first!”
“Yes!”
Luckily, Kara showed off her skills and was successful in the battle of wits.
In the end, Kara’s team scattered or was eliminated. It was harder than expected.
Kara also tried her best to fight against her opponent’s alliance, but it was not enough on her own.
No matter how complete the transcription is, it is meaningless in terms of quantity. However, it was too vague to act like a real battle.
“Ah! Don’t you guys have any pride?! What did I do wrong!”
“You shouldn’t have drawn our attention like that.”
“Ha. Really…”
Although she was strong, Kara’s appearance was too good for attracting attention.
Bronzy skin that contrasts sharply with others. Bright red hair. Even objectively speaking, a beautiful face, etc.
If it weren’t for the Tatar people, I might have liked her as a person of the opposite s*x. Of course, they were nothing more than competitors now.
‘But the drawback is that I still have two lives left.’
That’s okay. It is enough to cause the loss of one life.
More than anything, other people will be arriving soon. The broadcast did not provide detailed numbers and rankings.
There is only an announcement that the next person is participating. If you’re not careful, another high-ranking person may pop out.
[The following people will participate.]
And that prediction soon came true. William turned his head as soon as he heard the announcement.
‘Ah. sh*t. It’s at the top again.’
Seeing as only one person came in, it looks like the higher ranks have invaded. You have to hurry.
The moment William takes a step to end Kara’s struggling.
Kwagwagwang!!!
Suddenly, a huge explosion hit my ears. I was so startled for a moment that my neck tightened.
It was the same for not only William but also other students, and Kara, who was cornered against the wall, also looked surprised.
Afterwards, everyone turned their heads in the direction from which they heard the sound with blank expressions.
“······Hole?”
“Someone used magic?”
The dust rising up and the huge hole dug out. It made me realize its power.
Then who created this hole? Kara turned her head towards her entrance with a feeling of uncertainty.
“You can’t kill people! If you do that, you’ll get kicked out of school!”
“Sorry. It was a mistake.”
“If you’re sorry… No. No. Phew…”
Familiar faces caught my eye. Sivar has a unique, goofy expression and Lee Yeon-ju approaches him.
It seems that Lee Yeon-ju stopped Sivar right before he got into an accident. In reality, it was like that.
There was a heavy silence for a moment, and everyone’s eyes were focused on Sivar.
Even though Sivar was scolded by Lee Yeon-ju, he recalled a fact he had forgotten.
‘I don’t know how to control my strength, but I haven’t practiced controlling my magic power.’
What I practiced during vacation was physical strength control. However, no thought was given to adjusting mana.
The power output was enough to not kill the Death Beam just now, but it wasn’t at all. If we were not careful, a massacre could have occurred.
Of course, unless you were hit directly, the shield would have been activated. Still, it didn’t change the fact that he almost caused great damage.
“I’ll go first.”
“Go ahead. I will quietly support you.”
“Yes.”
Sivar, still embarrassed, scratched his head and walked away. Naturally, Kara is the one taking steps.
Is it because it had such a big impact from its appearance? The students didn’t even think about going first.
I don’t know why, but I had a feeling that if I stepped forward for no reason, I would be in big trouble.
As a result, I had no choice but to watch until Sibar approached Kara.
“Kara. Are you okay?”
“Uh, huh? Ah. I’m fine.”
“Go and rest. I’ll do it.”
Although it was an incongruous situation, Sivar and Kara had a friendly conversation with each other. The students all watched the scene.
“Hey. Is that him? I heard he came from the Forest of Chaos…”
“Looking at your eyes, I guess that’s true. You said your eyes are bright red.”
“The skin is also very white. That’s him.”
While the students were discussing among themselves, Kara received Shivar’s farewell and left.
Even as I was leaving, I couldn’t get rid of the worried look, but the subject was a little strange.
Instead of looking at Sivar with concern, he looked at the students, including William, with concern.
When William was feeling an inexplicable sense of discomfort under that gaze, Sibar opened his mouth.
“Why did you do that?”
“What?”
“Why did you bother Kara?”
Shivar asked the students. Why did she group attack Kara?
As a result, the students only looked at each other and were unable to answer. They look like they are hoping someone will answer first.
However, this actually stimulated Shivar. He nodded and spoke in a tone that was close to assurance.
“It’s discrimination, right?”
“······Discrimination?”
“I heard it earlier. They called Kara a barbarian.”
“······Isn’t that correct?”
This was when one of the students muttered incoherently. The area under Sivar’s eyes twitched.
Spooky!
When William saw that reaction, he felt the hairs on his entire body stand on end.
Instinct cried out. Hurry up and run away from that wild man. Otherwise, something terrible will happen.
“What, what? I just…”
“Raise your weapon!”
This wasn’t just William’s problem. Other students felt similarly.
I feel like the hair on my entire body stands up and my blood cools. Instinct sounded the alarm before reason.
“Discrimination is bad.”
Shivar said and took a step forward with his foot. It was a quiet gait, but it gave the illusion that a giant was walking.
William swallowed his saliva. Afterwards, I took a step back without realizing it and couldn’t help but be startled.
There was clearly only one opponent, so why did he step back? Without even having time to think, my instincts took control of my body.
‘There is only one opponent. There’s no need to be scared.’
William brainwashed himself and shouted to others.
“There is only one opponent! There is no need to be afraid…”
And that is.
Bah!
These were the last words William spoke.
Cudangtang! Quadang!
With one punch from Sivar, William’s body fell far away.
Then, the shield was activated and he was naturally eliminated. He was completely subdued with one punch.
The problem is William’s original position. William was the person who stood in the center of the students and took his position.
“Huh!”
“Uh, when?!”
In other words, Shivar is right in the middle of the students.
Everyone focused on Sivar, who approached without a sound or even a presence.
It was in front just a moment ago, but it appeared at some point. This is truly amazing speed.
“The bad guy…”
While the students were panicking, Sivar looked around and said.
“Hit me.”
A wolf appeared among the flock of sheep.
