chapter 23
23 – #023 Bathhouse (sorry)
After that, even though there was a legitimate reason, I was only given an excessively light punishment of confiscation of the permit for assaulting the guard.
Reissuance was not prohibited, so it was virtually innocent, and compared to the guard who was expelled from the academy, this was a very light punishment.
“I never thought I would even be expelled… I thought I would be sober at best.”
“A mere guard trampled on the academy’s authority, and the old man’s personality is enough to upset him.”
Having a permit with the academy’s seal, whether Asian or not, is a guarantee that the academy has recognized this person.
However, the fact that a mere guard ignored the guarantee because of personal trivial feelings, Vice-President Pryde saw as treason against the academy.
“Then did my disposition weaken with that in mind? Is it because he is more irritating than me?”
“Um… It probably doesn’t exist at all. Violence is a problem, but you were a victim until then.”
When Vivian said that violence was a problem, she felt an indescribable sense of incongruity.
By the way, when I asked what happened because it seemed like he was in a good mood when he kept laughing bashfully from earlier, Vivian answered with a giggle.
“Why are you so happy~ Didn’t you see that short-haired b*tch’s expression when you threw that monster corpse on the floor?!”
“Ah, Professor Marianne? You didn’t seem very happy seeing such a miserable corpse.”
“I don’t know what he does, can a b*tch who won’t bleed even if stabbed with that knife feel bad about something like that? It’s because you lost me.”
“Is it stolen?”
“There is such a thing!”
She tilted her head, wondering what she was saying.
“Then let’s go! I’ll give you the permit again tomorrow, so sneak in like yesterday!!”
“I was confiscated today, can I get another issuance tomorrow?”
“What do you think? If that doesn’t work, the person will confiscate it again or take care of it. It’s none of my business.”
“Huh….”
I thought I’d have to wait at least a few days, but I think I’ll be able to get to the dungeon sooner than expected.
Well, either way works well for me. The achievement of catching a beast-type monster with a spear was accomplished, but the fist side was still left.
After parting ways with Vivian, I went into a public bathhouse that just happened to catch my eye to wash myself before going home.
“Hee!!”
When the madman with blood all over his body entered, the guests and the owner who were leaving after the bath looked at me in fright.
“One adult.”
“Ooh, my house… !”
“Huh?”
The owner was stuttering and trying to say something, so when I went forward to say something, the owner’s body shrank greatly.
“What about our house?”
“Ooh, my house is hey, they don’t accept savages….”
Ah, when I said some bullsh*t, it was just one of the things I’ve been hearing all my life.
“I can’t hear what I’m talking about because my ears are also full of blood. Say something again.”
“Ooh, my house….”
“I advise you, but when dealing with a savage covered in blood, it would be better to be careful with every word you say.”
The owner shrank even more at the obvious threat, and one of the guests who was leaving the bathroom grabbed my shoulder.
“Did this bastard go crazy… Does it make sense for a baby monkey to go into the same bath as a human?”
I saw some crazy guy in the world who came out of this situation.
[Smith Lv 6]
When I checked the level just in case, a small snort burst out inadvertently at the level that was less than half of Louise’s.
“What are you splitting….”
Grabbing his wrists by the shoulders, I broke his wrists with force with my hands and threw him toward the entrance as if swinging him.
Koo Kung!!
The guy who broke the entrance and flew away with a grandiose sound lost his mind without even leaving a single scream, perhaps because he took the wrong technique.
“How far have you been talking?”
“… De, please go in.”
“How much is the fee?”
“50 Jenny….”
I took roughly 50 jenny from my inventory and threw it on the shelf, took off my clothes and went into the bath.
When a madman appeared covered in blood, the eyes of the guests who were taking a bath all turned to me.
“What are you looking at? Have you ever seen a bloody savage? Why? Can you go over there so I can take a closer look?”
After putting on a frown and making fun of the surroundings, everyone roughly washed off the foam and left the bath as if they were running away.
Thanks to that, I paid only 50 Jenny and was able to use the bath as if I had rented it to myself.
“Wow….”
In the meantime, when I was treated politely as my father taught me, I had never been respected. What the hell is this difference?
I was treated a little harshly and only blew away a person who was quarreling with me, but far from being kicked out, I was able to use the bath alone like this.
I wondered what the days of humiliation had been in the gap so severe compared to before.
I’m not going to cringe and ask you to buy something, but if you beat a few customers, they would rather cringe and ask you to buy something.
“Tsk….”
Now that I think about it, everything my father said was the opposite.
All the words I had to listen to were bullsh*t, and conversely, all the words I thought were bullsh*t were words I needed to listen to.
‘What are you doing thinking about the old days….’
After burying the old things and washing the hardened blood with water before entering the bath, she threw herself into the bath where no one else was.
Before, even if I paid double the normal rate to enter the bath, the monkey told me not to enter the bath, and I was only allowed to take a shower.
‘The answer is to treat these bastards with a rod.’
If something happens in the future, try to solve it with threats or violence rather than logical persuasion.
“Whoa….”
While soaking in the bath to relieve fatigue, I remembered that I hadn’t completed the achievement reward yet.
Originally, it wasn’t something to check in a public place like this, but now there are no people, and even if they do come, most of them are ordinary people, so they’ll think it’s some kind of magic.
[Defeat 100 beast-type monsters]
[Achievable completion possible.]
[Defeat 100 beast-type monsters with a spear.]
[Achievable completion possible.]
[Achieve in one shot.]
After achieving Bodhisattva by clicking once each, I immediately checked my inventory to see the rewards.
[You have obtained the reward.]
[Title: Veteran Beast Hunter.]
[Veteran Beast Hunter’s Weapon Box x2]
I can imagine what kind of thing a weapon box is in terms of language, but I couldn’t get a sense of what the title felt like.
When I opened the inventory and checked it, I found out that I was dumbfounded by the performance that was greater than I expected.
[Gives 30% additional damage to beast monsters.]
[Damage received from beast monsters is reduced by 30%.]
Additional damage, for example, if my attack deals 100 damage to an enemy, it means that 30% of that damage, that is, 30 additional damage.
I feel as if I have met my father again when the words my father often said come true.
‘I’m not in a good mood…’ .’
First of all, I was curious about how it felt, so when I equipped it, the words “Veteran Beast Hunter” Appeared above my head.
Uh… Is this only visible to my eyes?
First of all, it is reflected in the water, but if it is seen by other people, it is embarrassing and I hate it.
After the title was lifted, many names of weapons with the modifier “Beast Hunter” Appeared again.
[Select the weapon you want to receive.]
“Um….”
After careful consideration, the weapons I chose were the ‘Beast Hunter’s Long Spear’ and the ‘Beast Hunter’s Gauntlet’.
This way is better because you have to go to the dungeon once again to achieve the achievement of defeating with fists anyway, and there is no need to use long spears and short spears right away.
‘But what is this… ?
There is an item that has never been put in a corner of the inventory.
[Black Dog Fang Fragment]
Seeing as it can’t be equipped, it’s not a weapon or magic tool.
Other than taking up space in the inventory, there was no particular harm, but since it was an item I had never put in, I was concerned.
‘… Well, the day will come when I go and find out.’
Whatever this is, I can’t use it right now, so I erased it from my head and soaked myself in it.
After a while, I heard the sound of several people running outside the bathhouse, so I turned around and the guards opened the door of the bathhouse violently and shouted.
“Ooh, don’t move!!!”
“What? Are you guys here to catch me?”
When I got up from the bath, the guards who had come to catch me all aimed their spears at me.
As the scene I saw a moment ago reappears, I wonder if today is the day with the guards.
“Hey, did you hear the news? I heard that your colleague was expelled from the academy today.”
It wasn’t all that the news had already circulated, but most of the guards shrank and looked surprised.
“That, then you are that….”
“You?”
“Oh, no… Are you that person?”
Seeing that the honorifics came out right away, I was sure I wasn’t wrong.
It was violence, not courtesy, that made different people respect each other.
“Yes, I am that person. Then go off now.”
Even the guards, unaware of the situation, shrank and moved out of the way as I slightly raised my spirits and gave a sense of intimidation.
I went out leisurely through the path the guards had made for me and headed outside while packing my clothes.
And right before I left, I said to the owner who had been watching me from the beginning to the end.
“I had a good bath. I’ll come back next time, so don’t bother calling those guys then.”
“Yes, yes!! Oh, I see!!”
Saying that, the bathhouse owner nodded and shouted that he understood.
Teaching manners to such a racist… Violence is the best
