42 – Breeder (2)

As explained before, breeder events are mostly classified into two types unless certain conditions are met.

The Matra Empire values justice and honor. The Granada Empire that values strength and practicality.

This does not discriminate between occupations. I tend to be divided in that way no matter what job category.

The necromancer is a prime example. The Matra Empire bans necromancy, but the Granada Empire readily accepts it if it helps.

In addition, the Granada Empire is on the side of morality and ethics compared to the Matra Empire.

However, it is inevitable that the Granada Empire, unlike the Matra Empire, is not rich in resources.

As resources are not abundant, there is no choice but to compete with technology, but ethics are only a hindrance here.

Anyway, in summary, it is better to choose the Granada Empire for the first round and the Matra Empire for the second round.

“This is the end of today’s class. The afternoon will proceed as you have heard, so please do your best.”

A day when classes start again after the weekend.

After class, Godin went out with the words to cheer up. Today was a useful class.

I didn’t know anything else, but I listened diligently to Godin’s class. In order to learn his magic in the future, I had to win favorability.

“There must be many people clinging to you from today.”

As soon as class was over, Kara said that to Luna. I think I know what she’s talking about.

Luna nodded her head and asked Kara if she agreed.

“What about Kara?”

“Did you forget I’m a princess?”

“I just said it. Hmm…”

Luna lowered her head and put on her pensive expression. It’s a rather embarrassing situation for her commoner, who is also her chief of admission.

I was defeated by Kara in Dalian, but I won overwhelming victories in all the Dalian I showed after that.

A case where the basic skills are somewhat lacking, but they are covered with talent. If you refine the basic skills, it will be transformed into a beautiful jewel.

Whether it is the Matra Empire or the Granada Empire, there is no choice but to drool. There will definitely be people who approach her.

‘If it’s just like Luna, each representative will come.’

For each country, the breeder changes according to points and their performance in Dalian.

If it’s just those points and performances, just about anyone throws them away, and if it’s the other way around, the CEO directs them.

If it is Luna now, it is very likely that the representative will teach it directly. The reputation of being the top admissions officer is by no means a lie.

“What do you think you’re worried about?”

While waiting for Luna’s answer to fall, a familiar woman’s voice pierced her ears.

Turning her head, she was met with deep purple eyes. It is an eye that feels fierce because it is not sharp.

“Without worrying, isn’t our Matra Empire much better?”

This is Grace, the princess of the Matra Empire. She always exudes a haughty attitude and a high-handed atmosphere.

I feel like I’m being pressured just by her atmosphere, but even her eyes are so sharp that I could feel even a weak pressure.

“The Empire of Granada is an empire that shows many problems in the moral aspect because it pursues power and practicality too much. On the other hand, it is not the Empire of Matra. Honor and justice. Doesn’t your heart beat just hearing it?”

Grace praised her country, sweeping her hair gracefully to the side of her. She is full of patriotism.

Luna gave a somewhat confused expression, then she looked at Kara. Kara just shrugged her shoulders.

“You like honor and justice. Even the Matra Empire pretends to be noble but does all sorts of dirty things behind it, right?”

From noble mtl dot com

At that time, words came flying that directly contradicted Grace’s words. It was only natural that Grace’s eyebrows were twitching.

The sound came from behind me. I turned around and saw a male student with a disapproving expression.

He has black hair, black eyes, and an overall mean appearance. A face closer to that of a rat than a snake.

‘Ah. That person.’

I was confused about who it was for a moment because it looked like a passerby 1. But I just realized who it was with that remark.

The male student ignoring Grace, who frowned at her, and opened his mouth slyly as he looked at Luna.

“In that case, the Granada Empire, which treats you equally regardless of rank, is much better. Isn’t it? Head of Admissions.”

“Who are you?”

“Look at that. They say they don’t care about people they don’t care about. If you go to the Matra Empire, you’ll just be trampled like a sprout?”

If Grace and Elvin were students of the Matra Empire, then that man could be said to be a student of the Granada Empire.

My name is Antonio. Like a mean-looking impression, he is a character who is good at plotting and is a thief.

He is also the younger brother of the representative of the Granada Empire.

“If you are interested in the Granada Empire, just tell us. We will gladly give permission.”

“That’s interesting. Why do you think Luna is interested in you guys?”

“At least we don’t discriminate based on our status. As long as we have skills, we’re up and down regardless of our status.”

The two roar like a tiger and a lion. Other students were also curious about the argument between the two.

A situation similar to the one where eyes were focused on Luna and Kara before. She’s just embarrassing for Luna, who gets caught between them.

“Hey. Are you really popular?”

“··· ···”

It’s to the point where Kara giggles and taps her on the shoulder. It must be interesting because she is one step away from herself.

I also found it quite amusing to see Luna struggling with her, but unfortunately it doesn’t work only for her.

“Well. It’s okay. You’ll have to make your own choice. Before that… Did you say Shivar?”

“?”

Antonio is calling me. I opened my eyes and looked at him.

Afterwards, he pondered over what to explain and asked in a casually poking manner.

“What are you interested in? I don’t know what it is yet, but I’m interested in you too. Oh, just in case, I’m not discriminatory at all, okay?”

“You seem reluctant to take Mr. Sivar? Our Empire is always ready to accept it. Which one do you want, Mr. Sivar?”

The arrow returned to me. At the same time, countless eyes were fixed on me.

It’s not that I didn’t expect this to happen. If Luna is a promising player, then I am a hot potato.

I want to touch it, but it’s too hot to touch it easily. It is likely to treat high risk high return.

Of course I won’t choose either. I know everything I know anyway, so I don’t have the heart to choose.

“Kara.”

“Huh?”

“Kara.”

“······Me?”

That’s why I chose Kara. Dumbfounded, she pointed at herself with her finger.

I saw that and nodded her head. Then she looked around her with a bewildered expression.

It must have been an unexpected situation for Kara. She herself was watching her from a distance, but she was sparked out of nowhere.

At an unexpected choice, Antonio raised his hands up. He then said in a nuance that he was all right.

“Well, I don’t know anything about the situation right now, so there’s no point in saying it a hundred times. I still covet power.”

“That’s right too.”

Grace agreed with Antonio’s words. From their point of view, I am still a ‘wild man’.

A wild man who has barely set foot in civilization. You will think that you do not understand the complicated situation of the civilized world.

I chose Kara because of that skillfully. Because she has no one more suited to being neutral (?) Than she is.

“Anyway, choose well. Chief of admissions. My older brother is very interested.”

Antonio left with only those words. His touchy appearance allowed us to guess his origins.

“I don’t know what the Granada Empire is thinking. To admit even people with less personality to the academy.”

Didn’t like that, Grace grumbled in a disgruntled tone.

Even in Soul World, the relationship between Grace and Antonio is like fire and water. I want to be friendly, but I can never be friendly.

How much do you fight when you are on the same team? Because of that, I had a lot of trouble reconciling the two.

“Mr. Grace.”

“Huh? Ah, yes. Mr. Luna. Please tell me.”

“If you choose one of the two countries, the leader is sent from that country, right?”

“Yes. Ms. Luna is at the top of the admission list and has shown good results in Dalian, so our representative will step in.”

“Can you tell me who you are?”

Grace got caught by Luna’s question! Showed a reaction. It means your eyes are wide open.

Thanks to that, his fierce eyes became even fiercer. She is objectively beautiful, but those eyes are really brutal.

Then, as if to calm her excitement, she gently stroked her chest and opened her mouth with her graceful tone.

“Of course. Luna is a warrior type, so she will probably be taught by Gloria herself.”

“Gloria······?”

“Yes. He is like a lofty swan, with such elegance and outstanding justice.”

Grace uses metaphors in an aristocratic way. Luna responded by blinking her eyes, asking what that means.

Simply put, it means a person with a high reputation in the Matra Empire. In fact, it even has the title of ‘Matra’s Sword’.

“Are you similar to the president?”

“······Compare what you want to compare. You don’t know how strong the president is, right?”

Of course, it is unreasonable to compare him to the monster, Rod. Just in case, Rod is strong like a monster.

I’m a human who cuts space like cheese, but I have to compare things to compare. Luna also had a embarrassed face.

“If you are interested, feel free to tell me. I am also acquainted with Gloria-sama, so I can talk to you.”

“Um… I see. So, who is Grace teaching you? I heard that wizards are taught the same way.”

“Do you know that I’m probably… Professor Delphi?”

“······Professor Delphi?”

When the name of Delphi was mentioned, Luna was a bit taken aback. Then she glanced at me.

From the first impression, it is Delphi that was unfavorable itself. Moreover, I don’t know Luna, but she stretched out her insidious hand to her.

Then I grabbed his hand and broke it. Delphi looked at the two of us and blew gossip.

“Yes. I will probably be taught by Professor Delphi. It’s more like getting advice than teaching.”

“Can I get it from the professor?”

“Why can’t I get one? Instead, I should help with my personal research.”

And you will be insulted for that. Even if it’s okay right now, Delphi will gradually aim for an opportunity.

Delphi is known externally as a professor with outstanding skills. He knows no one’s humanity inferior to that beast.

Occasionally, even if he slips up, he just goes over it, saying, “You’re a professor with a strong ideology of the chosen people.” In addition, his back is firmer than Grace’s, if not more.

“If Luna is also interested in magic, let me know. I can help.”

“Ah. I’m fine. It’s too much to focus on martial arts right now…”

“Really? It’s a pity. What about Sivar?”

Grace naturally invited me. A hint of anticipation crept into her purple eyes.

Everyone knows, but I will also reject it. There is Godin, but he doesn’t have to learn from Delphi.

Instead, a warning would be fine. I answered the expectant Grace.

“Delpho?”

“Delphi? Learning magic from Professor Delphi? Of course. He…”

“I hate it.”

When I firmly refused, Grace stopped talking. He had a slightly embarrassed face, as if he hadn’t expected to be so resolute.

Then I issued a warning.

“Beasts.”

“······Beasts?”

“Delpho. Bad.”

What I’m talking about.

“Beasts.”

It meant that he was worse than a beast, so don’t go near him.

Other people may not know, but Luna will understand. In fact, she heard me and her expression became subtle.

“Do you know what Sivar just said?”

“······Well? I’m not sure either.”

No! It was my mistake!

She seems to have trusted Luna for nothing. When she was about to collapse, Kara, who watched her quietly, said.

“Do you think that Delphi professor is worse than a beast?”

“Yes?”

“He’s a bad guy, don’t go near him.”

It’s not even Porori, so how did you interpret my words?

When I looked at Kara in that sense, she asked with her characteristic cool smile.

“Isn’t that right? If you roughly combine it, that’s what it means.”

“Yes.”

“Look at that. But what did you call a bad guy?”

I gave a short and bold answer to Kara’s question.

“Just.”

I can’t explain that far.

*****

What do you do after warning Grace? It’s a fun meal time.

Alvin still ate separately, probably because he was uncomfortable with us. Besides, Erwin is a noble of the Matra Empire, so it’s time to be busy.

Thus, the three of us, Luna, and Kara, visited the buffet. As I said, the buffet is the only answer to sustain my meal.

Uguk- Uguk- Uguk-

“Eat slowly. Nobody steals it.”

“Ugh.”

“That’s a good answer. Here’s the juice.”

While eating the rice at the level of inhaling it, Kara put a cup of juice on it.

As soon as she raised her juice, I poured it into her mouth without delay. The mouthful of meat mixed with the juice.

Gulp-

After a while, he passed the chewed meat down his throat. I always think this buffet is really good.

The quantity is also quantity, but the quality is amazing. If it’s an academy, it’s an academy.

Woodduck! Awesome! Wow!

“Again, again. It eats even the bones again. Sivar. You don’t eat the bones.”

While chewing through the bones, Luna was bruised. In response to her, I looked at her with her dissatisfied face.

I heard that even dogs don’t touch them when they eat, but isn’t that too much? Kara stopped me, as if she had read my mind.

“Leave it alone. It’s nice that no food waste is left behind.”

“What if I end up breaking my teeth?”

“Would it grow back? My father said it would grow back?”

“······How do teeth regrow?”

Luna looked at me with a face that was half absurd and half amazed. Of course I didn’t even care.

I don’t know anything else, but I’m the type to focus on mealtime. It is no different from living in the forest.

If you ask why, it’s because of the ‘digestion’ characteristic. If you concentrate on eating it, it will be quickly digested and your mana can be restored.

If you eat it roughly like a snack, digestion is really slow and the amount of magical power replenished is small. It’s nice to be able to cut down on time.

More than anything, I can’t help it because my body is like this. He had to spend quite a bit of energy on just one hunt, so his digestive function increased.

“Could you excuse me for a minute?”

Then the voice of a strange man pierced my ears. I chewed the chicken leg down to the bone and raised my head.

Looking up, a man with a certain size is looking down. Even if not bigger than Hector, it is considerably bigger.

Moreover, he has a rugged appearance. Along with the angular face, there was a coolly flattened forehead, and finally, a horizontal scar around his left eye.

I knew who this person was as soon as I saw it.

“I’m sorry to interrupt your meal. If it’s not now, I don’t have a chance.”

“I… Who are you…?”

Luna seems to be more curious about the man’s true identity than the fact that her meal was interrupted. Even though she was Kara, she didn’t say anything, but she seemed to feel the same way.

Me She was also a bit annoyed at having her meal interrupted, but after she saw the man, that mood was relieved.

“I’m late to introduce you. I’ll introduce you formally. I’m the Cronus of the Granada Empire.”

“Kronos? The power of Granada?”

When Kara heard her name, she pretended to know. Cronus spoke politely to him.

“Let’s see if the Tatar princess knows my name.”

“It’s strange not knowing. He’s the one who fought with my father.”

Come to think of it, you had a fight with Hector. The wound around the eye must have been caused by Hector.

Cronus listened to Kara’s words and caressed her scarred wound, then glanced at me.

I just looked at him with my mouth open. It is certain that you are interested in me.

“If you’ll excuse me, can I have a seat?”

“Ah, yes. It’s okay. I finished eating anyway, so it’s okay. Shibaru…”

I dumped all the food on the bowl into my mouth. I was just about to eat it all.

After a while, I chewed my food thoroughly to help digestion, then looked at Luna. She said to Cronus with an awkward smile.

“······Looks like it ended just in time.”

“Ummm. All right. Again, I’m really sorry for the rudeness.”

Kronos apologized again and sat across from us.

The three of us were sitting next to each other so there was no need for someone to step aside.

Suck- Suck-

While Cronus sat down, he wiped the crumbs and condiments from his mouth with a tissue.

It was neat for what I ate at the level of inhalation, but I need to be polite.

“Can I stay here?”

“It’s fine as long as it doesn’t bother you.”

Kronos readily agreed to Kara’s self-talk. It would be ambiguous to fall for sure.

Meanwhile, I looked around. A few of the people who looked this way caught my eye.

But even that seemed to be disregarding and focusing on the meal or doing what one had to do.

Instead, rumors will spread. In other words, the representative of the Granada Empire directly found Luna.

“So, why did you come here… It would be strange to ask, right?”

“If it’s a story that wants to get to the point, I’ll do it right away.”

“Please do it. It’s my first time doing something like this.”

“Okay. We want you to receive the badge of our empire.”

An outright recruiting offer. As such, it is an event that the grower of each empire directly selects.

If you accept that as it is, you will receive the badge of that country. That proof means belonging soon.

If you visit the country with the certificate, you can get various benefits.

If you enter a hostile country, you will be busy paying rip-offs instead of benefits.

“This is also for you. We want to have the power you showed us.”

Deimos’ love call for me after Luna. The strength I showed in Dalian would be enough to charm the Granada Empire.

On the other hand, the Matra Empire is a bit ambiguous. Power is attractive, but he must be reluctant because he has lived in the wild.

From my point of view, the Granada Empire is also suitable. But I won’t choose.

The reason for this will be revealed sooner or later. Cronus came, so soon he will come too.

“Our empire accepts all talents, regardless of status. As long as you have strength and ability, you will get what you want.”

“How can I prove that?”

“I am the living witness.”

Cronos was from a commoner. However, he showed his talent after joining the army and he reached the rank of general.

This is unimaginable for the Matra Empire, which focuses on social status. Therefore, if you want something progressive, it is better to choose the Granada Empire.

In fact, many players choose the Granada Empire. Since it was a game, I didn’t even care about morality.

“Of course you’ve heard that it’s unethical, that it lacks morality. But we have to fight…”

“Oh my God. What are you doing there?”

It was around the time Kronos was in the middle of his explanation. A soft female voice broke through.

I thought to myself when I heard that voice. That the person who should come has finally arrived.

“You can’t cut in line already. General.”

Ttogak- Ttogak- Ttogak-

A tone that is both elegant and similar to Grace, but with a different level of dignity. The clear sound of shoes followed.

I turned my head towards the sound. And I could see a woman walking towards me.

The first thing that came to my mind was pure white.

From the ponytail to the outfit. Overall, it was full of pure white color.

The woman, reminiscent of a pure white swan, opened her mouth with a smile on her face.

“Did a general-level person come to visit you because you were in a hurry? I’m also curious, so can I intervene?”

“······Gloria.”

Cronus wrinkled his brow and called his name as if he was embarrassed. At that name, Luna stared at her lady with her surprised eyes.

The elegance of a lofty swan. A posture that shows what kind of existence ‘nobility’ is.

Matra’s sword and breeder has come.

“It’s none of your business. I want you to come back soon.”

“What if you don’t like it? It sounds like an interesting story, so please join me.”

“Is it disrespectful in the Matra Empire like that?”

“Could you make it a proper visit rather than a rude one?”

A fight that doesn’t even yield an inch. Both were conversing politely, but not on the inside.

For Luna, who was the center of it, she must be dying. She is actually breaking out in a cold sweat.

But don’t worry. If you just listen to the conversation, it will feel bloody.

From noble mtl dot com

Until you know the ‘secret’ that is involved here.

‘Awesome.’

Matra’s sword and Granada’s power.

Rivals that are well-known externally, and people who think you can’t get close to them like water and oil.

‘Looking at it like this, everything shows through.’

They are enjoying a secret relationship.

Didn’t I say that I didn’t even have to choose? That’s why.

‘It’s definitely different from what you see in the game. Look at the corners of his lips going up.’

If you know the secret, I’ll tell you to keep your mouth shut.

It’s just the two of us.
