248 – Theory (2)
What is the biggest difference between humans and beasts?
Endurance? Bipedal? mana? All three are correct, but the biggest one is the head, or intelligence.
Humans are more intelligent than other animals, making up for their lack of physical ability as much as possible.
Various languages are something only humans can have, and numerous civilizations have been built based on those languages.
Magic power also played a big role in putting humans at the top of the food chain, but not as much as intelligence.
Except for monsters like Rizena Lord, my skills tend to decline drastically if I don’t have any tools right now.
Development of tools based on intelligence. In particular, the invention of the ‘spear’ brought about groundbreaking changes in combat.
“There are probably people who don’t understand. Using force is also a method, so why are points deducted? Some may think it is a means to keep themselves in check.”
Marlboro commented further on the content of the test. Actually, I thought the same thing after hearing it.
The professors are trying their best to keep me in check. But when I actually heard it, it seemed like that wasn’t the case.
“I’ll use throwing as an example. You can just throw it with force, but you can also use various techniques. For example, if you throw it toward the sky at a 45-degree angle, it will fly farther.”
After hearing that explanation, I was able to roughly understand what was being said. So, it literally means use your head.
But from my perspective, what is somewhat unfair is why do I use my brain for this power.
In other words, do you need a hammer when you can crush a walnut with your bare hands?
“Exactly one week before the final exam, we will let you know what topic will be given. Until then, it will be no different than usual, so study hard. Do you have any questions?”
“What happens if I have a good theory but fail in practice?”
One student asked a good question. It is a gap between theory and practice.
Even if the theory is good, if it is impossible to practice, it is all meaningless. Even if the practice is good, if the theory is insufficient, questions will arise.
It’s a bit similar to code. Why does this work? Why doesn’t it work? You will wonder.
“That’s a very good question. In fact, the reason why the proportion of theory has increased so much is because of this: others can perform the practice for you.”
“Someone else practice?”
“So in effect, the whole class is doing it, right?”
Not alone, but as a class, you can test other people’s theories. This is really great equity.
It was so bad that even the students who had been dissatisfied until now rolled their eyes. This is a truly understandable reason.
“It would be great if the lack of power could be made up for with technology, but unfortunately, that would be unfair. On the other hand, it would be much better to use magic, but there are times when magic cannot be used.”
“··· ···”
“As I said before, it is possible to use techniques and tools. Instead of ignorantly punching a rock with your bare body, use a hammer.”
Marlboro looked at me as he said that. He was looking directly at me, not anyone else.
Afterwards, he chuckled and spoke as if he wanted me to listen.
“There’s a saying in the East: hit a rock with an egg. But some people think you can break a rock with an egg.”
I had nothing to say. It is possible to break a rock with your bare fists, let alone an egg.
It seems that the reason why the importance of theory has increased is because of that reason. Because of my presence, the difficulty level will be significantly lowered.
Furthermore, since it is an academy, it is obvious that topics that are close to real-life topics will be presented. This is not a scientific research facility.
“So, study hard. It will be a normal class until a week before, but we will give hints along the way. Well, even if it is a hint, everyone will know roughly what will come out. Do you have any more questions?”
“Can I do it?”
The man’s deep, pleasant-to-listen voice quietly seeped in. It’s a very familiar voice.
I turned my head back and saw Karas holding her hand. With his signature sparkling smile.
At first, every time he raised his hand, Marlboro was shocked, but not anymore. Marlboro nodded his head and said.
“You can do it. What’s the question?”
“I said I could have someone else do the practice for me. Is there any point deduction for that?”
“There is a deduction of points. But it is extremely minimal. If you think about it, it can be said that additional points are given when you directly implement it. And one more thing.”
Marlboro looked around the crowd and made a request to the students in an emphatic tone.
“If more than 5 people ask one person, they will all be given 0 points.”
“··· ···”
“So don’t feel too comfortable.”
What I definitely felt after coming here is that the professors are very competent.
Not only did we ensure maximum fairness, but we also tried to prevent unexpected situations as much as possible.
They may be entangled in a complicated political relationship, but a professor is still a professor. These are not people to take lightly.
“Are there any other questions?”
“Is cooperation impossible? Two people in a team, each in charge of theory and practice.”
“It is impossible.”
“It’s a shame.”
You probably don’t want to do that with me. I tried my best to avoid eye contact with Karas.
If nothing else, Karas will definitely come up with an unusual theory.
Isn’t it necessary to preach communism in these times? This alone was the answer.
“Lastly… I can take the practice for you voluntarily, not as a request. I want you to know this too. Because it can prove that the theory is not nonsense.”
“Oh.”
What is coming? I’m starting to feel anxious.
I glanced at Karas from behind as he let out an exclamation that was not an exclamation.
It was a smile that couldn’t read his thoughts, so I had no idea what he was planning.
I hope the test topics are easy. But since it is an academy, it must be quite difficult.
“If there are no questions, I will end the class here. Please try your best.”
After the morning class, we naturally moved on to the afternoon class. Afternoon classes are self-training.
Originally, we receive self-training every Wednesday and also training from a trainer, but today Gloria and Kronos are not there.
I heard that there was a problem in their country for a while, but seeing as they both returned at the same time, it seemed like it was a problem between the two empires.
“Professors are having a hard time too. They are having a hard time because of Shivar.”
Kara said during a short break. After hearing that, I turned my gaze towards Kara.
As always, this is an outfit that shows off her strong abs. It seems like the clothes are cooler because it’s summer.
At the same time, he was sweating profusely because he had just trained with me in martial arts. When viewed from the side, the sharp bridge of the nose stood out even more.
“Still, you’re trying to achieve fairness as much as possible. Actually, I was a little surprised when I heard the rules. I thought it was possible to achieve fairness that way.”
“Me too. Didn’t everyone become quiet when I told them that if more than 5 people were assigned to Sivar for practice, they would get 0 points? It was so absurd to see that.”
Kara said that and handed me a water bottle. I drank water without thinking.
Of course, someone else had to drink it, so I didn’t put my mouth to it.
“Anyway, I think this test will be fun too. I’m not sure what the topic is, but I think everyone will do well. Sibar…”
Kara looked at me while I was drinking water. I stopped drinking water and raised my eyes.
The answer is if you have anything to say. Kara laughed in response and placed her hand on my head.
“There’s no need to worry about him. Not only does he not care about tests anyway, it’s just theory and there’s no need for it.”
Kara naturally strokes her head. Her touch was filled with tenderness and affection.
It seems like the corners of her mouth will turn up with just one simple stroke. But since she couldn’t express it openly, she responded with her body instead.
By moving her hips towards Kara as if asking her to be stroked more.
Kara seemed to like my response and smiled her characteristic cool smile.
“······That’s not true. This time, the proportion of practical training is small, right? So, we should try to build a good theory.”
“Shivar doesn’t care about scores, right?”
“Yes.”
If she had cared about her score, she wouldn’t have gotten so many penalty points. Even the destruction caused by vandalism is at an alarming level.
What’s more, the most important demonic invasion is just around the corner. It doesn’t matter if you put things like exams on the back burner.
“Look. Sivar agrees. You guys study hard.”
“··· ···”
As Kara looked elated, she gave Grace a displeased look. She looks like she wants to say something.
But there is Luna, who has been quietly watching her until now. She seemed to be thinking deeply, and then it hit her right on the spot.
“Isn’t it just because you don’t want to study? You want to play with Shivar?”
“··· ···”
Now it was time for Kara to have nothing to say. Luna correctly guessed her true feelings.
Afterwards, Grace looked at her as if asking if it was really like that, and Kara scratched her head. The response is that it is embarrassing.
“······I thought about it before, but you’re secretly sharp? How did you know?”
“It just seemed clear inside?”
“You still don’t notice.”
“Me?”
Luna tilted her head to reveal her doubts. Are you serious about that?
Anyway, since her true intentions were revealed, Kara had no choice but to retreat. The attempt to play with me while others theorize is over.
“Then Mr. Sivar, you will have to work hard to come up with a theory.”
“But aren’t there too many things about Sivar? No matter what you do, it will all work.”
“Um…”
Grace and Kara looked at me after hearing Luna’s words. I was just wandering around.
Grace then crossed her arms and asked a question.
“Mr. Sivar.”
“Yes.”
“Suppose a huge rock rolls in front of you, Mr. Sivar. What will you do then?”
“Crush it.”
“No. It’s a rock that can never be broken.”
“Prevent it.”
“··· ···”
If it’s simple, it’s simple, and if it’s ignorant, an ignorant answer comes out of my mouth.
But from my perspective, that is the best and most efficient. There is no reason to avoid it.
“······Then let’s say a huge monster attacks. What are you going to do?”
“Break the legs, kneel down. Climb up from behind. Crush the head.”
“··· ···”
Grace looked like she had nothing to say.
“Uh. I’ve actually seen that before. It was exactly like that when I killed Mankey.”
“Did you really do it that way? In such an ignorant way?”
“Yes. I killed him in 5 seconds?”
“Wow. That’s amazing? Now that I think about it, you killed Usk single-handedly.”

“··· ···”
Thanks to Luna’s testimony, Grace looked like she had nothing more to say.
