Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 395
395angry captain barbarian (5)
To have a headache.
I feel nauseous, my lips are dry, and my throat feels stuffy due to loss of moisture..
However, rather than such inconvenience, questions came first..
‘But why am I doing this??’
Serrated Tooth's vice-captain, James Calla, opened his eyes, taking a deep breath, like someone who had stopped breathing..
“Huh up……!”
The first thing I saw was an unfamiliar ceiling..
Beautiful patterns are carved into luxurious wood, and next to it is a ceiling with a dazzling chandelier hanging from a string..
As I was trying to figure out where this place was, a man's face appeared before my eyes..
“I guess I came to my senses..”
Jun, the Holy Knight of the Tobera Church.
When I first saw it, I thought there was such a handsome paladin.—
“ah……!”
James, recalling his last memory before losing consciousness, immediately raised his upper body. And he hurriedly asked the paladin, who luckily escaped in time and didn't get hit in the face..
“The winner is... How was the match??”
In response to his question, the paladin awkwardly raised the corner of his mouth..
“Don't you already know?.”
“Then too…….”
“Yes, I lost. It was really strong in many ways. That person.”
Unlike the paladin whose voice did not even convey regret, James Calla sighed without even realizing it..
“Kala, do you find it difficult to give in??”
“that… no. only… I just didn't know what to say about this to the Arminus Company and the Explorers' Guild, who believed in me and supported me.…….”
“Why not be honest?.”
“The four of us fought, lost, and ended up having to give the position of leader to some barbaric person? How on earth can you say something like that... No, why are you smiling??”
“Oh, excuse me. The word barbaric is so impressive.”
In response, James Calla admitted that he had made a mistake in speaking..
I realized how it would look to say such slanderous words from a losing position..
It must have seemed like he was gossiping to put people down..
Like the disgusting squires he encountered countless times while ascending to the position of vice-captain..
“Is it still difficult for you to accept him, Kala??”
“that…….”
He trailed off and answered in a bitter tone..
“It's not like that.”
It wasn't a pretense, it was a sincere remark..
The word barbaric came out first, but that was only because the impact of the first impression was too great..
“that man… He was a smart guy.”
The paladin agreed to Kala's recitation without disagreement..
“Yes, that's right.”
“Looking back, we played into his hands from the beginning. They thought it was easy for them to see us. In reality, it wasn't like that at all..”
“That's right. It's a shame, but I also didn't think we would lose until the end. Obviously, I still lack discipline..”
James Calla completely agreed..
If you had investigated more closely instead of laughing when you first heard the term 'man after blood spirit', this situation might not have happened..
“The problem is that I don't know how other people will take it. Ah, where is Sir Kaislan and Senior Akurava now??”
“It's in another room. I was unconscious just now, but I don't know what it is like now. Unlike Carla, the injury was more severe..”
“…I'd better go see it in person..”
Afterwards, the two separated and headed to a private hospital room..
The healing of the body has already been completed through the priests, and all we have to do is wait for consciousness to be restored.?
As I sat next to him and waited, it wasn't long before Titana Akurava opened her eyes..
“Looking at that expression... I guess I lost.?”
Unlike James, she didn't ask long questions..
He just stayed silent for a while with mixed eyes, then asked where the others were..
“Akuraba has also awakened. Are you in any uncomfortable place??”
“Yes, fortunately. however… where is the man?”
“well. I don't know about that either. Maybe it'll give us some time to wake up and get our minds together..”
“There's no way that guy would be that delicate..”
As Akuraba spoke calmly, the calm atmosphere became a little lighter. As we were talking about random things like that, Kaislan also came to his senses..
“…That's him! What happened to him?!”
It was time to discuss in earnest..
***
“I guess so. we lost…….”
A muttering filled with deep regret and anger for no apparent reason..
Soon, Knight Kaislan clenched his fist tightly..
“I can't admit it..”
“The fact that I lost?”
“No, I am not foolish enough to deny it. However, the fact that we lost and that guy used his courage are two different things..”
“Oh my, are you going to break a promise that was notarized in front of the Marquis??”
Kaislan flinched briefly when the Marquis' name came up, but it wasn't enough to break his stubbornness..
“So, will you be willing to accept it? As many as thirty people! They are not just 30 people, they are the best talents who will carry the future of this city! But are they going to entrust their lives to someone who has nothing but power? Even for the sake of the greater good, we can't just sit back and watch what happens.!”
James Carla unconsciously grabbed his throbbing forehead at the sharp shout. I never thought he would be such a person with no answers..
“Kaislan, are you claiming that you are better than that man in other areas, except for force??”
“I'm not just talking about me, I'm talking about all of us. Wouldn't we be better than a guy who doesn't know where he got his food from??”
“okay. If so, could you please tell me what part it is??”
“I don't understand why he looks like that. Didn't we all have an in-depth conversation earlier about what the ideal commander is? Apart from him, no one spoke of force..”
“It was like that.”
“Didn’t everyone know that? A commander's military power is of lower priority than any other quality..”
In James's opinion, what the article said was not wrong..
A commander is someone who wields a famous sword, but he or she does not necessarily have to be a famous swordsman..
but…….
‘As long as the Marquis has notarized it, the result cannot be changed. It would be better to draw a line now..’
After completing his political calculations, James opened his mouth..
“I don't think the man's qualities are inferior to ours..”
“…What?”
“It's hard to say from the perspective of a loser, but he wasn't much stronger than the four of us..”
James truly thought so..
If we had had time to guess beforehand and had dealt with each other sincerely from the beginning, the winner would have been different..
but…….
‘It won't have any meaning now.’
“In one match, we lost, and he won. Do you know what causes the difference??”
The driver just looked with a displeased expression and did not reply..
Therefore, James continued speaking without waiting any longer..
“This is because there was insufficient information. I knew it when I saw them fighting. He already knew us very well. What kind of essence does he have and what kind of equipment does he use?.”
“So does he fit the ideal commander you spoke of? Come to your senses! He just got information from the marquis.!”
“Isn't that the scariest thing? We didn't even know who was coming here until we came here, but the Marquis was different..”
Kaislan did not speak at length in response to James' words..
“Yeah, I see what you mean. You just want to watch that man stand over us. Is everyone of the same opinion??”
Soon, Kaislan's gaze shifted to the 9th floor explorer, Titana Akurava..
but…….
“If you look at it that way, I’m not much different..”
There was no support fire as expected..
“…Why? It's because I'm afraid of the Marquis.?”
“I'm not saying it doesn't exist at all. However, there is a bigger reason than that..”
“other reasons?”
“yes. I don't think that person is any worse than us..”
When Kaislan narrowed his eyes as if he didn't understand, Akurava shrugged his shoulders and continued..
“What impressed me was not his backstabbing, but his inherent meticulousness..”
“Dense……?”
Kaislan exhales air as if he heard something he couldn't hear..
“yes. Preciseness. For example, how was it at the dinner party? He knew about us, but he acted as if he didn't know and acted arrogantly to get us to take the bait..”
Where is that??
It was the same even after the battle broke out..
I saved the abilities of various essences until the end and took them out only when they could show the most optimal efficiency..
A representative example was James Collar..
He was helpless and the three of us had to shoulder even more of the burden in the beginning..
“And this… It's a bit hard to call it judgment, but the sense of fighting was amazing..”
“…He was a natural..”
It felt like we were burning ourselves, but when we came to our senses, we too were engulfed in the fierce flames..
In that situation, he smiled contentedly and.
“At the time, I thought it was a fighting style based on instinct, but now that I think about it, I think I made a thoroughly rational judgment and decision..”
“If that were really the case, it would be truly amazing. It was a rational decision to give up one eye and hit Sir Kaislan with a hammer..”
“Since it was then that the battle lines collapsed, the benefits were much greater for that position..”
As James Kala and the Paladin exchanged words of praise, Kaislan gritted his teeth..
I never understood..
‘What are these people??’
You know how important the position of expedition leader is, but it's like this..
It's suspicious that he might have made some sort of secret pact with the Marquis while he was unconscious..
However, whether such concerns were raised or not, the conversation continued..
“actually… What I value most is the determination to achieve my goals..”
Ha, this time it's a decision?
Kaislan snorted impatiently, but the paladin continued without any reaction..
“As Kala said, he wasn't much stronger than the four of us. But even so, I fought boldly to the point of arrogance..”
His bones were shattered countless times, his internal organs were cooked, and an arrow was stuck in one of his eyes, making him one-eyed..
However, he never fell.
If you build a wall with fire, it burns your skin and goes over, and you chew your tongue and spit out blood. Her shoulder blades dropped and her shoulders hung, but she swung her hammer..
“Is there anyone out there who can do that??”
“…….”
“It's a shame, but I have yet to see anyone fight in such a state without any doubt..”
That guy couldn't have enjoyed the process..
It must have been painful.
Even if I gave up here, everyone would have been convinced..
It had reached its limit..
“If you're an average person, a gap will appear in your heart when you're in that situation. Okay, this is enough. I've done enough. You start making compromises and making excuses to convince yourself..”
but he didn't.
How was that possible?.
As a paladin is a subordinate of God, he found the cause in faith..
“It's faith. That I will never fall. Because he had strong faith in himself, he was able to not break down and overcome the trials and achieve victory..”
“This means that Lord Jun also agrees with him becoming commander..”
A somewhat sarcastic murmur.
However, the paladin spoke without the slightest doubt..
“yes. If I had to follow anyone's back, I trust his back the most..”
“…….
“Even when everyone falls apart, he will stand strong.”
It seemed like the paladin was really into that guy..
James Calla cared about the Marquis, and Akuraba seemed to be offended by breaking his promise..
“Just admit this. We lost. In the first place, even when the person who fainted recovered and returned to the front line, he didn't even complain, right? There was no rush to fight at the time, but this was no different from foul play..”
“The reason he remained silent was probably because he thought that would be enough for us to understand..”
Since the three agreed, there was nothing Kaislan could do anymore..
‘thank god. If the author had disobeyed the match and asked the Marquis for a rematch, there would have been no way for the Marquis to let it go given his personality..’
James Calla, who was spared from accidentally getting into trouble, breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at Kaislan with his mouth shut..
Of course, there were still elements of anxiety..
“Everyone is like that, so I won't say any more. One thing, just know that this is a mistake. As I said before, only strong discipline and strong control can create a strong group. I can't believe he has that level of leadership..”
A stubborn attitude of not acknowledging the other person until the end. Just by looking at it, it looks like they'll get up and throw it down whenever something happens.…….
If that place is within the labyrinth, it could turn into a big problem..
but…….
smart.
There is a knocking sound outside the door.
“Ah, I guess everyone is awake..”
The moment a man came in through the wide open door before I could give permission..
James Calla shook off even the slightest anxiety.
“Now that you're my subordinate, I can talk comfortably..”
A man who brazenly mutters such words even though he has never used an honorific in the first place..
He tilted his head, fixing his eyes on one place..
“What, knight, why are your eyes so wide? Is there something wrong with the head I hit earlier??”
It was truly amazing.
I don't know exactly when.
The knight who raised his neck and shouted about the importance of leadership.
“Answer me, I'm asking you if you have it.”
“Uh, none.…….”
Before I knew it, I was lowering my eyes..
As if it were a very natural thing..
