The Difference Is Like Between a Dog and a Cow

27 – True Education (1)

“Quaaa!!!!”

When I crush a cigarette on my forehead, he falls down screaming in pain.

You stupid bastard.

The way he rolled around on the floor was unsightly.

I picked up the cigarette pack and lighter he had dropped, then took out another cigarette and lit it.

As the acrid smoke goes down my throat, the bubbling emotions calm down a bit.

“f*ck-!! You bastard!!”

Rex swears and gets up from his seat. Let’s snap his fingers at the guy who was about to swing his fist at any moment.

The mana escaping from her body turned green, and an opaque ring tied Rex’s ankles.

A beginner wind attribute magic, ‘Air Bind’.

It was a magic that condensed the air and restricted the opponent’s movement.

In addition to the wind cutter, the basic wind magic described in Elemental Magic Haggai.

Compared to other attributes, the structure of magic is generally simple, like a wind attribute, so there was no need for special associations.

As it were, Rex, whose ankle movement was restricted, stumbled once again and screamed in pain again.

“Ahhh!! Aww! My, my ankle!!”

“Baby, Umsal-eun. It’s just suppression magic.”

I smoked a cigarette and watched Rex wriggling on the ground.

“You bastard- do you think you will be safe even after doing this?! No matter how much you use magic on friendly soldiers!?!”

“Huh, are you still not understanding the situation? I need to get my mind back.”

After squeezing the scruff of his stiff neck, he placed another cigarette bun on the same spot.

“Turn off…… Ughhhhh!!!!”

The guy trembled because he couldn’t struggle. The eyes that had been so fierce were now tinged with fear.

“Just like you did to Lumia, do the same to me.”

“Everything, you…… I’ll tell the personnel manager everything so he can be disciplined.”

“The discipline should be taken by the sergeant, right? The attitude you’re showing me right now deserves a summary execution.”

“I’m Sergeant Rex!! It’s just a mandarin fish!!! I will tell the captain that if you even set foot in the city, he will kill half of you!!”

Even though they went this far, it’s clear that they’re snarky.

And if it’s the captain…… Are you referring to the leader of the bullies you saw in the city?

I heard from Bell Meyer anyway. It is said that there are thugs in the back alleys in Cherno City.

The reason Rex, no matter how sergeant he may be, was just a mere soldier, was probably able to do so because he was one of those thugs.

It also exists in reality.

There are cases where people who are close to local officials or who used to live as gangsters enter the military and ignore ranks and everything else.

No matter how much an army is, it cannot be self-sufficient.

There are many cases in which the help of local residents or powers is essential for unit maintenance or even promotion.

However, that doesn’t matter.

Even if this bastard crosses the line now, it’s important that he crossed it hard.

So far, there have been a lot of people who just wanted to get over it.

I’m dead. Even if I wake up, I can’t see that kind of thing. If a soldier bites a rag in his mouth against his superior, it’s bittersweet.

“What are you doing with me?”

“Huh, uhhh…… !! If you put yourself in a stockade for assaulting a soldier, and if you even set foot in Cherno, you’ll be beaten on the spot-!!!”

It’s not scary even if you threaten it to the level of almost weeping.

“Oh yeah? So, if you keep your mouth shut, those bastards won’t know that I did this.”

I lightly raised my mana. Then, a blazing fire violently engulfs the air.

“If you dry your mouth, you won’t be able to speak.”

“What…… Ah- hot!?! Now, hold on!!”

I slowly brought the flame in front of Rex’s eyes and held it. It’s not really magic or anything. It just manifested red mana.

However, burning the roof of a normal person’s mouth is quite possible.

It’s over when you put fire in your mouth.

“Do you think you’ll be all right after doing that!?”

“I’ve already been branded as a delinquent, but it’s not going to get any worse here. No, only one soldier. I think it will be quietly buried like always? Is not it?”

“…… !!”

Rex, who tried to resist until the end, finally shut up. He is a bastard who has abused the closed system of the military better than anyone else.

“Just like you did to Rumia.”

I immediately realized that the same law might apply to me.

“Sorry, sorry- sorry!!! J, J, Jzega, too…… It was so bad!! Please forgive me!!”

“Right.”

I grinned and extinguished the flames, then slammed my fist into the eye.

Paak!!

“Kuhhh, ahh, evil!! My eyes!!”

With his body ached, it was impossible to strike as effectively as he did in the city yesterday. If that’s the case, you should just kill the weakest point.

I tried to step on his lower leg because his mouth was so vulgar.

To be honest, I looked at it out of pity. You have to keep the minimum dory.

“From now on, if you say a word other than the one I ask, then I will really shoot a fireball in your mouth.”

“Oh, I see…” … !!”

“What did you do to Rumia?”

“That is-.”

f*ck!!

Rex’s eyes started rolling, so he gave me another one.

“Kuk, heuk…… Why, why are you beating me!”

“Don’t roll your head, answer straight.”

“Tongue, I threatened to sleep!”

“Whose idea is that?”

“Oh, that’s what I thought! I was really not going to do anything after sleeping once!!”

“I never asked about it after that.”

“Huh… ….”

Chi-Chi-Chi.

The cigarette in his mouth was rolled up to the end. I spat out almost charred butts, and continued to pursue Rex.

“It’s obvious what he was trying to do without even looking at it, so don’t try to make excuses. Who are involved? Are there any people in our unit?”

I look into the eyes of the terrified guy. Then Rex confessed everything.

There are no troops. I don’t like being involved in a platoon that’s a waste class.

But the outside of the unit is different. They said that there was a pretty sergeant in the base, so they told me to trick him and bring him.

Having heard that far, she had nothing more to ask.

“Violation of discipline, disobedience of orders, extreme injuries, and even attempted assault on superiors. Even if you break the military law, it’s big. It feels like an immediate execution.”

“Sorry-!! Platoon commander! Please, just save me!”

“Do you want to live?”

“Yes!! Yes-!! I want to live, I want to live!!”

People only come to their senses when they are right.

Your appearance that lasted only a few minutes is gone, and now only the ugliness begging for your life remains.

After being overpowered by magic that had no effect other than simply restricting movement, what would happen to my ankle?

In fact, all of them were bluffing, and they were just fooling around without knowing their subject matter.

“Go and apologize directly to Rumia. With proper manners. And don’t look at Rumia again, and don’t hang around her.”

“Okay! I will!”

“Answer me so that I can give the official name straight from now on.”

“Bye, Sergeant Rex!!”

“Go away now.”

Rumia hasn’t returned yet. No, even if she came back, she wouldn’t show up first unless I went this far.

Perfect!

When I snapped my fingers again, the air bind that had grabbed Rex’s ankle was released.

However, Rex continued to groan and shudder, and was unable to get up.

“What are you doing, I’m not going.”

“Keuheu…… Yes, but the platoon commander. I think my ankle is really out…….”

The guy tried to move his leg, but his ankle kept spinning. The creaking was not holding up properly.

What, is it really broken?

Was this bastard weaker than me?

Looking at the expression of real pain and the legs that are in vain, at least it didn’t seem like acting.

I ttsk, after I clicked my tongue once.

“There, even if you don’t know who it is, come out and help.”

I shouted at the presence that I had felt a while ago. Then, In-yeong, who had been hiding behind a tree, came out hesitantly.

“Rice, Soldier Eric!”

“Did you say Eric? Take Sergeant Rex to the medical unit.”

“Yes- yep!! All right!!”

It seemed like they witnessed everything that happened in real time. Eric answered loudly with a lot of discipline.

Soon, I got Rex up and struggled to disappear in the direction of the medical unit. I looked at it and let out a sigh.

‘Ehh, I came out to find Lumia, what is this?’

Instead of taking medicine, he only smoked cigarettes.

Perhaps he was nervous as well, but as soon as the situation was resolved, his strength was drained and his body began to shiver again.

The dizziness is getting worse and worse- isn’t this like fainting again like last time?

When I thought

.

“Platoon commander! Are you all right!?”

Rumia hurriedly ran from afar. In one hand, she was holding the medicine prescribed by the medical table.

“Rek, Sergeant Rex… ….”

“It worked out well. By the way, could you help me with the lodging? My head hurts.”

As soon as I asked, she put her arm around my shoulder.

Hook, her distance is getting closer and the fresh scent from her silver hair tickles the tip of her nose.

“Platoon commander… ….”

“For now, talk later. Now let’s go back to the inn.”

I returned to the dorm with Rumia’s support after giving me a true education like that.

For now, it’s a solution.

Of course, I didn’t expect a bastard like Rex to lower his tail with this.

As expected.

After sleeping for a while at the hostel, I woke up to find a guest in my room.

“Platoon leader Enoch, let’s talk.”

It was the battalion personnel manager, Captain Michel Robron.
