A Wild Man Has Entered the Academy

56 – Until it hits (3)

[Do you not know what survival is? It’s surviving But why are you going to commit suicide? I don’t understand.]

You speak well. The professor in charge, Marlboro, silently agreed as he watched what Kara said on the screen.

In the forest where practice takes place, special devices are concentrated, and one of them is real-time screen transmission.

With equipment installed throughout the trees, it was possible to grasp the situation occurring in the forest, and students could also be seen.

It is possible to automatically determine the position through the bracelet, but we are pursuing this method for more careful judgment.

“To fight a tiger, stay together. Kara seems to understand the meaning of this exercise.”

Yeon-hwa, who was watching the screen with Marlboro, opened her mouth. She smiled, satisfied that she, too, knew that Kara liked her.

Sarah and Godin, who were watching side by side, were also expressing their satisfaction in different ways.

“Students these days are too competitive, so it’s a shame. At least it wasn’t so severe in my time. We all had a campfire together.”

Marlboro said with a nuance of pity as he crossed her arms with her thick arms. She was an old-fashioned remark, but no one disagreed.

When he attended the academy, that is, until about 10 years ago, the United Academy was relatively less competitive.

Although there is friction between countries, the students showed behavior appropriate to their age. I paid less attention to things like grades and focused only on human relationships.

But in recent years, conflicts between countries have intensified, and their influence has reached the academy.

It means that there are many cases where we forget the essence while focusing only on grades.

“If that happens, only bad feelings will remain. If only bad feelings remain, we will not be able to dream of cooperation.”

“It’s just a vicious cycle. Students will be the strength of each country in the future, but this is already happening.”

Sarah gave a cold voice, and Godin gave a worried voice. They were also concerned about the disappearance of the essence of the academy.

However, what cannot be underestimated is that what Antonio pursues is also cooperation.

In a way, the essence of what the academy pursues is to come together to stand up to the great power.

That’s why it was hard to give a harsh evaluation. That’s why Shibar’s presence is overwhelming.

“It’s true that it’s unfair, but I didn’t say that you have to be number one unconditionally. Why are you obsessed with being number one already?”

“Won’t you complain again later?”

“It’s mine. I told you that survival is the most important thing. They’re competing on their own. Huh?”

Marlboro looked at the screen as she spoke and her eyes widened slightly. Other professors had similar reactions.

At first, Kara ignored Antonio’s proposal. However, Kara’s teammates are arguing about whether they were persuaded by Antonio.

[Hey. Think of your common sense Do you think you can beat him even if you attack him in droves?]

[You only need to take off the bracelet, just the bracelet. We’re not suicidal, and we don’t think we’ll win at all.]

[I’ll take it off very well. Why don’t you take off mine right now?]

[Ha… I can’t understand the language.]

By its nature, survival has a structure that is prone to division. Especially when differences of opinion arise.

However, it is mostly related to food and drinking water, and situations like this are extremely rare.

The conflict between those who seek survival and those who seek competition. Of course, this is a phenomenon that has become frequent in recent years.

[Were all the Tatars cowards? It’s disappointing to be frightened of having only fought once.”

[······Have you finished your words? What about the second one?]

[Then you can help eliminate Sivar. I don’t know why you’re so stubborn.]

[No…! Under. Really. Why don’t you guys know the most important thing in this exercise? Even if you only measure the probability, that way is more disadvantageous!]

Kara expressed her frustration. Grace wasn’t the only one going through hellish group assignments.

At least, Grace is suffering because of a team member with too strong a personality, and like Kara, there are no signs of division.

[And Luna you. You’re all good, but why are you so lacking in calculation skills? I heard that there is not much difference between first place and joint first place? Then I’d rather be friendly with everyone, why are you trying to get eliminated?]

[······Do you like 1st place better?]

[Ah! Luna, really! This older sister is going to die of frustration!!]

This is a very rare situation. A scene in which a Tatar native, who is considered relatively uncivilized, is about to explode.

The most important thing in the process of civilization is cooperation. Competition is the story of when different civilizations meet.

The professors laughed at the situation and sighed. I watched with an interesting expression.

“Student Luna, apart from being the top student in admissions, seems to lack a lot of insight.”

“Technically speaking, she’s easy to get swept along by. She seems pretty lacking in assertiveness.”

“Isn’t that the quality of a leader?”

From noble mtl dot com

Marlboro shook her head at Sarah’s question. That doesn’t mean it isn’t.

“That’s not it. That guy is also stubborn. Even if he lacks experience, he’s not enough, will he get better? I can guarantee you.”

“I’m pretty sure Mr. Marlboro is. Oh, he’s gone now.”

Yeonhwa pointed at the screen. Kara’s team bickering over differences of opinion eventually split and fell apart.

Naturally, Kara frowned when she saw her teammates joining Luna’s team. But there’s nothing she can do about it.

[Ehh. You wouldn’t even be able to attack with a swarm. I hope you don’t get hurt.]

Instead, he was kind-hearted and worried about me. Before long, the image of her leaving to go on her way was broadcast.

The professors seemed to be okay with the situation that would normally appear in a survival practice. It was close to the reaction that it was about to explode.

“Student Kara seems to survive for a long time.”

“She deserves a shot at number one. If she’s told to be friends with a tiger, there’s a good chance.”

“She must have played a part in the culture of the Tatar people. She always takes care of her people.”

Each of the professors gave positive evaluations despite the bloody situation. Hector, who is notorious for being the King of Destruction, didn’t care at all.

We only make objective evaluations of the students themselves. The situation between the countries did not care at all.

“Then the only thing left is the Sivar side…”

Marlboro turned his head. As he turned his head, the other professors also turned their gazes there.

The screen didn’t just show one scene, it was broadcasting several scenes at the same time.

One of them is the Sivar team. The last time I saw him was Sivar diligently slaughtering a wild boar.

What are you doing right now? It was the team I watched the most closely, so I was more concerned.

“······What is she eating?”

“Uh…”

Like Marlborough’s embarrassing question, the other professors were dumbfounded. At first, it seemed that the butchery was doing well.

It was not a slaughter knife, but a small dagger, used to cut roughly, but it is a good skill. It’s okay up to this point.

The problem is Sivar’s actions after this. It’s good that you drained all the blood and removed the intestines.

“I think it’s liver…?”

“······A real beast, what is it?”

The problem is that Shibar is eating the liver of a wild boar, even raw. As a result, the area around his mouth was covered in blood.

While the team members cooked and ate the wild boar meat he slaughtered, only Sivar was eating the raw intestines.

The food that can be called a wild person itself. Marlborough looked to the side with a trembling face at the scene that hurt his stomach just by looking at it.

“······Doesn’t the Phantom Empire and the Frozen Principality also eat liver raw?”

A question for Yeonhwa from the Phantom Empire and Sara from the Principality of Frozen.

I understand that both countries have a culture of eating animal intestines.

“There is, but… Even the Hwan Empire doesn’t eat it that way. Recently, there’s been a lot of talk about parasites.”

“That makes me sick. Above all, it’s an action that extremely lowers the chances of survival. The nutrients contained in the liver are actually harmful.”

Embarrassed, Yeon-hwa and Sarah explained in detail with calm faces. In fact, eating raw liver is an act that extremely lowers the survival rate.

This is because the nutrients contained in the liver cause breathing difficulties or rapid poisoning. Otherwise, you may die.

“Wild animals have a hard time getting those nutrients, so they tend to get them from their livers. Sivar is like that too.”

“······Parasite problem?”

“From what I heard from the president, there are no parasites, and it’s really clean, right?”

“Hmm…”

At Godin’s answer, Marlboro focused the screen with a worried face. Sivar’s eccentricity is pouring out Grace’s food.

Lee Yeon-joo was patting her on the back, but judging from her pale complexion, she seemed to be holding back as well.

Sivar naturally(?) Made an expression of incomprehension. It is a destructive combination in a different sense from Kara’s teammates.

“How should we evaluate Sivar? If we were to judge him as a wild animal, would that be the right thing to do?”

“It’s something a civilized person should never do. At least it would have been nice if it had been roasted over an open fire.”

“Really? Then I’ll do it half and half. Just in case, they told me to take an insect repellent after practice.”

Marlboro wrote his evaluation on Yeonhwa’s note in a notebook.

[Deducted points for not eating cooked over fire. However, it is estimated that his body itself is optimized for survival.]

It was an evaluation very suitable for the theme of ‘survival’.

******

There are only three kinds of animal organs that can be put into the mouth: the heart, lungs, and liver.

I never eat the intestines and stomach. I don’t know what’s in it, but how do I eat it?

But to Grace, a civilized person, no matter what she eats, she will look like a wild person. This is unavoidable.

[Wash up right away! Whether it’s finding a valley nearby or something you can wash!]

So I was kicked out. It seemed that he couldn’t bear to see the blood still dripping from his liver or heart.

Instead, they didn’t get kicked out completely, and each fell for a while to find flowing water. The assembly point is the place where the wild boar was slaughtered earlier.

Because I came into the safety zone, there was no problem even if I fell, and it was because I decided that fishing was better than hunting.

They seemed to be afraid that if they hunted, they would slaughter them, and then I would eat their entrails again.

‘Wouldn’t it have been better to cook it with fire?’

On reflection, that might have been better. I no longer live in the wild, so there are many places to replenish my nutrients.

However, he said that he couldn’t give others a habit, and it seems like he put it in his mouth without realizing it because it’s been a long time since he’s eaten raw food.

In case you don’t know, I’ll tell you in advance, Grace wasn’t overreacting, it was me.

It’s a situation that both her

And herself are aware of, and you can’t blame her.

‘I don’t know how to cook fish. I just need to remove the internal organs.’

I focused my magic on my ears to find the valley. Then all the sounds that could be heard in the forest reached my ears.

The sound of a bird singing, an insect crying, a beast roaring in the distance, and so on.

Finally, the sound of flowing valley water. Fortunately, there is a creek nearby.

You’ll just have to wipe the blood off there and figure out if there are any fish living there.

Shoot ah-

I walked in the direction from which I heard the sound, and soon I was able to face the valley. The rapids are quite strong.

I stuck my head out and took a closer look at the condition of the valley. Seeing killifish swimming, the water is clean enough to be used as drinking water.

‘As expected, blood doesn’t wash well.’

In that short amount of time, the blood had hardened and was not washed well. I have to wipe it off with my hands to the point where it barely fades.

I know you had a hard time wiping off the blood when you were living in the forest. At that time, did you wash it with animal fat?

I didn’t pay attention to it because it was all washed away at some point in my life.

‘Many other survivors will come.’

This is a place where teams who have not yet prepared drinking water are likely to come. There will be a fight or an armed conflict here.

I lightly washed my face and stood up. All that is left now is to return to the rendezvous point and bring the others.

Since I already knew the way back, I was able to move forward with a comfortable mind.

Around the time I came out of the valley and entered the forest again.

“·······?”

I stopped walking and stopped. A strange air current is drifting through the forest.

Just as I improved my hearing earlier, you can hear various sounds in the forest.

But look now. Isn’t it as quiet as a dead mouse? This is just one case.

‘Who is it?’

A person’s senses can be fooled, but a sign that can’t fool a relatively more sensitive animal.

A person. Someone is hiding around here. Unless the level of ambush has been raised to the end, the presence cannot be completely erased.

As I just said, human intuition is easy to fool. However, animals are extremely sensitive to signs and tend to react greatly to small movements.

‘Reconnaissance doesn’t seem…’

I think I know where they are hiding. Besides, the number is quite large.

A rough estimate would be around 10 people. There was a maximum of 4 people per team, so it is a minimum of 3 teams.

It’s amazing when the hell a team like this could hide. It is also a skill worthy of an academy student.

While thinking about what to do, I grabbed a stone that had been rolling on the floor. It is quite large and heavy.

Looks like they’re all hiding for a surprise attack, but it’s all futile. The forest informed them of their existence in advance.

Awesome! Wow!

I broke the stone into small pieces while holding the stone with strength. It’s not difficult with my grip.

After a while, he firmly held onto the crushed stone…

Paba Park!

I threw it towards the hiding people. Like shotgun bullets, the pebbled stones spread widely.

If you don’t come out from that side, you should come out from this side first.

I had no intention of ignoring him because he was full of hostility.

“Damn it! Stop it!”

“How did you know?!”

How do you know?

‘I was so nervous that I could even hear the sound of spitting.’

If you’re going to do a surprise attack, you should have done it earlier.
