LXXXIX.

Those who take classes not related to combat at the academy can be roughly divided into two categories.

One is when it is related to hobbies. You can also see him as a kind of nerd. Feeling like Mildeok (military fanatic) or Yeokdeok (history fanatic).

The other category is those who take classes as a major or minor to become scholars or administrators.

The only one who wasn’t in that category was Gray.

The God of Magic advised me to take a class on history and war, and the topic of the class happened to be ‘History of War’, and it also happened to be a time when May and the witch were busy with other things.

“Huh?”

“Mi, crazy… !”

“That’s Gray.”

.

.

Therefore, as soon as he entered the classroom through the back door accompanied by the clown and the punisher on both sides, the murmur grew louder.

‘this.’

Gray looked embarrassed by the commotion. He thought it was just a matter of taking a class, but he never thought it would cause such a fuss.

It was a misconception as it was my first time experiencing such a ‘lecture’ outside of the academy. Go Gon-seong also could not attend university. After graduating from high school, he started doing BJ while working part-time and became a huge hit.

Therefore, the atmosphere of the lecture was more free-spirited than expected, and Gray made a mistake because he did not know that he was regarded as a unicorn or a legendary Pokemon at the academy.

When the commotion grows in size like steam from boiling water and completely covers the classroom,

Crash.

The front door opened and the professor quickly shrunk as he entered the classroom.

“… The classroom atmosphere is noisy today.”

The young female professor with a cold, subdued voice seemed most distant from the categories of ‘war’ and ‘history’ in a continent where patriarchal values are still prevalent.

“Before we proceed with the class, you are a candidate and a famous person, right? Gray decided to audit our class. what… . It seems like everyone already knows.”

“… … .”

“There was an opinion from the Dean and Mr. Gray that we should consider them as the same students in the classroom. Everyone please keep this in mind. Then the lecture begins.”

Gray nodded at the professor’s actions as he looked directly into his eyes while saying that. That wasn’t exactly what scholar Hu thought. Gray told Dean Hu that he would not receive special treatment, and Dean Hu conveyed this to the other professors.

“In the previous class, I lectured on the reasons why war broke out. And in this lecture, we will talk about the progress of the war.”

Tatakak-. Tatakak-.

The professor turned toward the blackboard and divided the large blackboard vertically in the middle. He began listing a few short words on either side.

“As everyone knows, before the continent was divided into empires and kingdoms with borders like it is now, the ancient continent had a long history of war in which dozens of kingdoms arose and disappeared.”

‘Everyone knows? ‘I don’t know?’

Gray quickly scanned the classroom from the very back, just in case, but it seemed like he and the clown were the only ones who didn’t know.

“In the history of that war, there are times when the results are completely opposite even in the same situation.”

The professor pointing to the left said,

“Battle of Triana Castle. It’s famous, right? It is also called the Battle of Ron Malia. 14-year-old Ron Malia approached the enemy’s castle on a short-lived horse and applied for a fight, but after being rejected several times, the fight was finally concluded and his head was cut off.”

Then he walked slightly, pointed to the right, and opened his mouth again.

“Battle of Nerus Plain. It’s equally famous. In a slightly different sense. At this time, a similarly young, 11-year-old unknown soldier stood up resolutely and rushed towards the enemy camp. And he died just like that.”

widely-.

The professor attracted attention by lightly hitting the blackboard with his hand.

“The situation called war. A situation of offense and defense. And there was even a situation where a young soldier took the lead with courage and died. It’s the same, but the results are opposite.”

The lecture continued smoothly.

“As everyone knows, the Mercury side that killed Ron Malia was defeated in the Battle of Triana Castle. Just like in a battle where there is no geographical advantage between Siege and Mercury, the Mercury side is one-sided.”

“On the contrary, in the Battle of Nerus Plain, the camp where the young soldier died was defeated. And that too, miserably.”

“An opposite situation that occurred in a similar situation. What is the reason?”

The professor asked a question, and the students at the academy quickly answered her question.

“First of all, it is similar, but the primary difference is that it is a siege and a revolution. The environment is like that.”

“Yes. In general, yes. In both battles, the side with the children who died at a young age was the attacking side. The difference between siege and revolution is not important.”

“Difference in medical history… !”

“The difference between seasons… !”

.

.

Gray liked this lecture a little as he watched the students actively presenting their opinions and refuting them.

The professor also nodded his head in agreement with reasonable opinions, and poured out reprimands for nonsensical comments.

“What do you think about being the only audit student?”

The professor’s question hit Gray when no new opinions came from the students.

“Hmm. I think I know the first battle of Triana Castle.”

“Speak comfortably.”

“Battles between castles are disadvantageous to the siege camp. Five times the power is needed, but in fact, even with five times the power, the besieging army must suffer unreasonable losses.”

“Like.”

“In such a situation, there are few ways for the siege camp to easily win. Overwhelming quantity. Overwhelming power difference. and… . Overwhelming fraud.”

“Hoo.”

Gray noticed that the professor’s way of looking at him had changed. But this is not because you are a genius.

This is because a similar anecdote is known by a person who was a confessed and nameless soul.

Gwanchang. Hwarang Gwanchang.

This is the story of how Hwarang’s morale was boosted by the death of Kim Gwan-chang, who was serving as a detachment in the Battle of Hwangsanbeol between Silla and Baekje.

Of course, Kim Gwan-chang’s head was not broken because he charged alone, but he was captured while working as a separate unit of Hwarang and then charged again and died.

anyway.

At that time, Silla, which had been defeated several times by General Gyebaek’s death-defying army at Hwangsanbeol, played a role in miraculously winning.

“Then what about this one?”

This time, when the professor asked, pointing to the battle on the flat ground that was lost,

“I don’t know?”

“Yes?”

I had no choice but to come up with that answer.

If I knew that well in the first place, would I have come to take this class? And most importantly,

“I am not from a noble family, so this is my first time hearing about both of them. I couldn’t say I didn’t know because you explained earlier that everyone probably knew.”

Gray spoke as calmly as possible, without letting his unique rebellious temperament come out.

‘I have no information about that war? This is my first time hearing this. I guess it’s not just me? Even if you go to Evergreen right away and ask any commoner, they won’t know anything, right?’

Of course, the two Arcana who had common thoughts with Gray guessed his inner thoughts and smiled.

“Well~. Not a recent war, but a war of ancient kingdoms? Who knows that kind of thing~. Baby.”

The corners of Gray’s mouth rose slightly as the clown spoke in a whisper.

“Hmm. sorry. You lectured habitually.”

While the professor apologized,

“Huh? So, did you just infer that opinion?”

I realized that Gray’s answer came from a state of ignorance. Of course, it’s not that Gray doesn’t know anything, but rather he knows it well.

“What.”

He didn’t deny it by shrugging his shoulders. The professor’s eyes sparkled at Gray’s reaction. Could it be said to be the look in the eyes of a professor hunting for a graduate student candidate?

However, when I soon remembered that he was a candidate, I resigned myself and continued the class.

“Hmm. I will continue the lecture again.”

“(Wasn’t the look in the professor’s eyes really scary just now?)”

“(That’s right, honey. It was like a vicious slave owner preying on his slaves.)”

“(You must be careful. I will protect you, Master.)”

While chatting with the clown and Punisher, the professor’s explanation continued quickly.

In short, the rotation in the field deliberately inflicted repeated false defeats on the invading army, drawing the army into its own territory, which lacked information, and making it let down its guard.

This is a story about a man who was in a state of negligence due to consecutive wins, changed the mood by brutally killing a cool-headed brat who rushed at him, turned the tables, and wiped him out. Rather, they used that momentum to invade the other party’s capital and cut off the king’s head?

‘It’s so fucking hot. Don’t nobles usually pay ransom even in wars?’

“On the surface, these two cases seem to be the same situation, but as explained, they are completely different situations. This is what war is like.”

“This is why war with humans is different from battle with monsters. Because humans become the subject.”

“The human race is prone to unusually severe emotional ups and downs. Sometimes a trivial thing burns your sense of justice and you move forward without caring for your life, but sometimes you feel defeated for a trivial reason and do stupid things.”

“Therefore, knowledge simply studied from books is of no use on the battlefield.”

“This is why you learn the history of war before learning operational science.”

“Today’s lecture will end here.”

As soon as the professor left, murmurs and noises about various topics began to settle in the classroom again.

And Gray, who heard the lecture for the first time,

“It’s more fun than I thought? How was it?”

“Hmm~? it was fun. Me too.”

“It wasn’t bad.”

I was satisfied with the lecture topic and content. It was my first time having someone teach me something in such a professional way, learn from it, and share opinions.

Confessional memory?

For Go Gon-seong, who was an orphan, school was hell, not a place to learn and share things.

Therefore, this atmosphere was unfamiliar yet new. And I liked the lecture content.

“Didn’t the God of Magic recommend this for no reason? Mmmmm.”

Gray was satisfied and was about to leave the classroom,

“Hey… .”

He turned his head when he heard a small, timid voice coming from in front of where he was sitting.

“Hmm?”

There, a very frightened, rabbit-like woman was actually trembling and looking up at Gray.

“Who?”

“Pae, I’m a fan! Cheap, please sign!”

He closed his eyes tightly, shouted, and held out a white paper and pen.

‘what? ‘What is this?’
