97 A Day at Empire Noble School (3)

I was calibrating 20 students. She was a student from a prominent family at the Imperial Noble School who attended the debate. Most of them were undergraduate students from the Department of Strategic Tactics and Undergraduate students from the Swordsmanship Department, but some were also involved in other undergraduate students.

Younger brothers, Josef and Ezekiel.

Josef was a humanities undergraduate, and Ezekiel was a magical undergraduate. Joseph Bilke's favorite, I understand, but Ezekiel was surprised.

I looked at Erisa with a gentle glance. Erisa and Izel continue to travel with a single sheep.

Is it similar to my relationship with Hubeio? ’

But it doesn't matter. I turned my back and looked at Josef. Even if my teacher told me to go, I don't know why they're chasing me here.

“Grand Duke Josef. Do you have any hobbies with swordsmanship and tactics? ”

“I need to know if I'm going to run a car someday. Our car is bordered by Orcs. ”

“Why don't we just get along? ”

“I wish I could, but it's imperial policy. ”

Of course, it was the right answer. The Yosrahim Empire and Orcs have now formed a hostile relationship. It was difficult to establish a friendly relationship with the Orcs as long as the Grand Duke of Karl was in the Yosrahim Empire.

Luckily, Josef is in his junior year. At the time, I was dreaming of conquering the world, and Josef was facing reality.

Hubeo approaches me. Hubeio was assisting me now.

“Now, let's begin. ”

I nodded my head and said to everyone.

“Now I'm going to ask you a question. Start asking questions."

Erisa raises her hand.

“Mr. White, do you have a speech? ”

“What are you doing listening to me? ”

“Yes?”

“Honestly, you don't have to listen to the lecture. Don't you know everything that makes sense? So ask me something you don't know. Don't waste your time. ”

Josef raises his hand.

“Mr. White, I have a question. ”

“Yes, tell me. ”

“What is the first qualification of a victor in a war? ”

That was an interesting question, and I immediately answered it.

“Luck. Luck never beats luck. How can a man win when the heavens help him? ”

Josef gives you a slightly grumpy look. It didn't seem like the answer.

But I had no choice. War takes seven chances.

“What's the second quality, then? ”

“Ha. A good one can hardly win. I'm scared to death of you. ”

“What's the third quality? ”

“Items. If the opponent is holding a Magic Shot launcher, the regular soldier will die from fire or electric shock." ”

“And then?”

“Pager. This is the truth of Mango. ”

“And then?”

“Information.”

“So when's the tactic coming out? ”

I looked at Josef with an indifferent look in his eyes. I'm sure I know nothing about war.

“Of course, winning with tactics should be cool and good. But what kind of chess game is war? Fight with the same power. If all this is a queen, no matter how many chess masters they play, they can't win. ”

“Then why do we need to learn strategic tactics? ”

“To kill fewer people and win. It's a sacrifice anyway, but it's better for one less person to die, right? ”

Strategic tactics are not a quality for victory, but an idea a general must have. Many generals use tactics to win, which is really stupid. You have to start a war after you've won it.

Of course, small countries often have to fight against big countries under adverse circumstances. But it was the same then. If you cannot win a battle, it is better to avoid a war through enhancement or surrender, and the best way is to raise forces that will not be defeated by the invasion of a great nation. Or perish.

Honestly, you can't trust a single tactic to win a war. Then we've already lost the war. The enemy is pointless. Don't you learn strategic tactics? Winning wars is a matter of power, not tactics.

That's why I'm afraid of a man like King Bastein. He fights over it.

“But didn't you lead a great victory in the last war against the Kingdom of Robos with a superior tactic? ”

I opened my eyes in a daze.

“When did I? ”

“Yes?”

“At the time, Kara's forces were well ahead of Robos' forces. Of course, the troops were heavily outnumbered, but Kara was ahead of everyone, including the weight and strength of the weapon, the quality, information, rationality, geography, and climate. Of course there's no reason for Kara to lose. ”

The biggest among them was the quality and information of the weapon. Kara has a powerful weapon that makes one man's combat strength superior to Robos', and intelligence makes it easy for her to gain control of Ramis and Polkin Gateway.

Of course, we can't say there is no tactic at all, but compared to the rest of the winning factors, it is just the blood of a new foot.

“So tactics don't mean much? ”

“That's right. If you want to win, do it well. I've never seen anyone study better than a lightning bolt. In war, tactics are the only thing we rely on to beat the context of a test problem. One or two more questions can be guessed, but grading the test papers will reveal the bottom line. ”

“Ahh · · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

Josef grins his head as he understands. Then I sat on a rock near the garden and looked around everyone.

“Another question? ”

“Me.”

Erisa raises her hand this time.

“Yes, tell me. ”

“We are preparing for war with the Orcs next year in our empire. How do you think that war will go? ”

I froze my chin. In my past life, the Yosrahim Empire won, but now it's hard to predict.

“I don't know. I'll keep replying for a while, aside from the battle I've seen. ”

“Why?”

“Your head popped out. But where the hell is he? ”

“Yes?”

“It's going to happen. Next question? ”

At that time, a strong student raised his hand. It was Oren, my second in command. He is a graduate of the undergraduate degree in knights, and last year he opened his eyes to Manae.

“Whitening. How can I quickly increase my swordsmanship?" ”

“What happens to swordsmanship now? ”

“Still a novice. ”

“Just fight and meditate. ”

Oren gives you a curious look.

“But don't you have to perform manna regularly to raise your spirits? ”

“Uh, we can make it to the top. So?”

“Yes?”

Oren doesn't seem to understand me. Then I came up with an explanation.

“From what I see, there is no difference between a simple Mana Prosecutor and an excellent one. It's enough.”

“But everyone knows that the Supreme Mana Swordsman has the advantage in battle. ”

“Still, I can overcome it with a sword. So go for the big one. Why waste your life playing Mana when you're the master? And when you become a master, Manawa naturally expands. ”

“But · · · · · · · · ·. ”

Oren finds it unacceptable.

The master's progress was nearly impossible, so the school was teaching the finest Mana prosecutor with the highest values.

This is the problem with public education. Let students have dreams, but let them rest in reality.

Of course, it doesn't matter if you are a regular student, but if you are already on the Mana Prosecutor's exam, the story will be different.

“If you are the Mana Prosecutor, your next target is the Master. We don't need to waste our time trying to get to the top. And to be honest with you, with all the meaningless problems you can solve with elixir, why would you want to invest your life so badly? ”

Oren's eyes are wide open. The Elixir is a mysterious medicine rumored to exist in the Eastern continent and it is said to enhance Mana in the body.

“Master. Do you really have something called elixir? ”

“Yes.”

“Then why don't you enter the continent of Prosia? ”

“I can't eat without them. What do you have for me? Often, of course, one or two come through the trade routes, but they're all consumed by Kara. ”

Everyone's eyes are filled with greed. It didn't help me much, it was just a tasteless bitter pill, but it wasn't for them.

“Are you sure you can get it from Kara? ”

“How did you come up with one? That would be the worst. And you can't expect that. There are 10,000 medicines in the world, but none of them are healthy. If you misuse it, you'll grow old and suffer. But if you want to be strong, use that money to buy a Magic Shot Launcher. I really like that. Honestly, when you meet a strong Mana prosecutor on the battlefield,

How many times do you have to work? Usually you get pushed to the edge and die. But a magical grenade launcher decidedly reduces the number of opponents. A hundred times better than elixir. ”

They were students who still could not give up their greed. We are already discussing how to send people to Kara and the East Continent.

Of course, it is better to be strong than a strong weapon. But I don't know why it looks like the problem of living and dying.

“Next question? ”

Josef and Erisa raise their hands at the same time. I gave Erisa the right to ask questions.

“Erisa, ask the question. ”

“How did you become stronger? ”

“I don't know. You've gotten stronger in life. But if you give me one good reason why you shouldn't rely on others? It'd be nice to rely on someone else right now, but if it's habitual, it's just slavery or beggars. There's no way that guy's gonna be that strong. ”

“But humans have no choice but to rely on each other and help each other. ”

“Right. That's why there's this great concept of give-and-take, right? You don't have to rely on them to pay. Her abilities, and her relationships. Without Gibbs and Takes, relationships don't last. Who wants to keep a guy who wants to work for free? Of course I stay away.”

Erisa rolls her eyes.

“Yes, it is. ”

“Next, Josef. ”

Josef asked.

“Why do we admire you? ”

I looked at Josef. Even if the Master walks the path of the sword, I don't know why he would throw a proposition from the Department of Humanities here.

“Strong.”

“So you admire the strong? ”

“Yes.”

“Why?”

“The world is Gibbs and Takes no matter what anyone says. You don't think he's just admiring you? ”

“Yes?”

“The strong receive the vagina. The abbreviations are the same. The abbreviations are pitied by people, but despised at the same time. Or maybe admiration and jealousy, sympathy and contempt are the same thing. So if you're looking out for your opponent, don't look down on them, don't feel sorry for them. Suddenly, it can turn into jealousy and contempt. ”

A girl raised her hand.

“Mr. White Face, how did you meet the two Grand Duchess? ”

There's always one kid asking that kind of weird question. I shouted right away.

“How dare you have a relationship at a sacred conference. That's not what you hear, that's what you do. People who don't really date ask these questions. Tsk tsk tsk.”

In my Zilta, the girl's face turned red, and the other students burst into laughter.

A boy asked a playful question.

“But you have to know how to make love. How can I be good at relationships? ”

“Be pretty and handsome. ”

“If you don't look like one. ”

“It must be very sad, but we must work hard. ”

The boy rolled his eyes.

“Then isn't the world too unfair? ”

“What can I do? Blame the world.”

“But can't we change the world? ”

“You first. That's what pretty and handsome people say. And honestly, that's gonna change that? It would have changed a long time ago. There's no choice in the world. ”

Another male student raised his hand.

“Mr. White Face, but you didn't say Gibbs and Takes, no matter what anyone said in the world before? Then what other price should the laws of nature pay for a person who has a bad appearance? ”

“Just as there are exceptions to the truth in the world, so is Gibbs and Takes. Honestly, what am I gonna do? You have to live with yourself. Don't blame your only parents. She overcame all that nonsense and got married and gave birth to you. Then it's a successful life. ”

“But it's still so unfair. ”

“There's nothing these bastards can't say because they're hungry. Honestly, you met your parents. No matter how unfair you look, don't be unfair. They curse me.”

I mean, not wrong at all. All these kids here are more than just taboos. I benefited too much from the world to blame my appearance.

This is also one of the big absurdity, but it is also inevitable. Children can't be born choosing their parents.

I really don't have a plan. You can overcome it with a little attention to appearance, but you can't overcome the color of the dish easily.

Then Josef raises his hand.

“Backbone. If the world has created such nonsense, where is the truth of the world?" ”

I looked for Josef.

There are always kids who break the mood like that. For example, in class, the teacher tells an interesting story about a student who wants to get out of the classroom. So he insulted me all the time.

But it can't be wrong. The main part of a student is learning.

“The truth is in the unseen. I have no choice but to be invisible. ”

“So, humans can't find the truth after all? ”

“That's right."

“Still, why do humans keep wandering around looking for the truth? ”

“To move forward. to develop and grow. So, the process of exploring the truth is important, but the results are not important. Even if you think you've reached the truth, it's not the whole truth. You got it?”

“Yes, I understand. ”

Josef accepted it easily. I'm not an idiot, so you'll know there's no such thing as a perfect truth.

Afterwards, I continued a light and loving conversation with my subordinates. People are all the same. Relationship stories are much more interesting than stories about Goritabun.

Love is real, and the truth is just a mirage.
