Incompetent Academy and Failed Heroines - Chapter 223
223 – Tournament (5)☆
It was a bit disgusting because the words were full of self-interest. However, the vicious dragons with dark intentions actively agreed with the Vice President’s opinion. With all the momentum, Aizen made a surprise proposal.
“Okay, then we’ll give you half of our food.”
“Hey, you boss!”
“Sera, please go around with that tough guy and find out what it’s like.”
Sera Phovier’s gray eyes stayed with me for a moment. When I tried to refuse because it was something the women on our side would hate, Ain stomped on my foot. At the same time, Rita grasped Aizen’s hand and immediately agreed.
“Aizen, you’re so cool!”
When she saw her child in dissatisfaction, she placed her weight on her toes and whispered.
“Do you want to win?”
“Yes.”
“Then just shut up.”
We decided to trust Rita. Therefore, she asked Kite and Rosa, who had become involved against her will, to trust me. There was nothing else to say. Their intentions were clear, but nothing happened. Since there is nothing more foolish than jumping to conclusions and making predictions, I remained silent and waited for the negotiations to end.
“Now, this is our food!”
Aizen took out some wheat bread and honey from her snack. It was a preserved food so hard that people with weak teeth could break it. Rita, who has small teeth, might get hurt, so she had to be told separately before eating.
“How much will you give Aizen?”
As the queen bee on our side was buzzing, the queen bee on the other side also responded.
“I’ll make it 30% of the large intestine.”
“Isn’t that too little?”
Renji intervened, but became quiet after receiving only Sera’s hatred.
“I can’t just give half away. “Because we have a duty to protect Yeongchae.”
This time, Rita accepted it without further ado. Perhaps they were taking into account that if they asked for more, they might incur opposition from the alliance. Aizen told me to take her food and carried it with me, so I approached him and spoke honestly.
“Is it okay if I give it away like this?”
Then again, he raises his finger to his temple where there is nothing and says this.
“This level is enough for combat power.”
He was staring into the distance and muttering, so I thought he was crazy and left with just food. As I was leaving Yeongchae, I asked Ain and Rita what their intentions were, and they both had subtle expressions.
“Fox, those bastards are a little strange.”
“As expected, it’s the same when the princess sees it, isn’t it?”
The two of them were talking a lot, so I joined in from the side.
“It’s normal, but isn’t it a bit unusual?”
“Yangmul, tell me what they look like when you see them.”
“I am assuming that I did not stop them when forming an alliance.”
“Baby, what kind of skills do you think you have?”
“Well, they are definitely not without skills.”
“Because you’re from Orgiola?”
When Rita asked, I answered in denial.
“There is no fear.”
“Yangmul, is that how you see it?”
“It’s not a big deal to induce combat by lighting smoke.”
He said it was unique in that there was no interest or even worry about the fighting that would occur in the future.
“So what do you think of Yangmul?”
“It means that you have experienced defeating an enemy before.”
“Deman, if that’s the case, why did you share food with us?”
Deep down, Rita didn’t feel like she wanted to be told that she was pretty.
“I don’t know. They say that’s the correct combat power.”
There is no need to seriously worry about something you cannot know. The evening sun would soon be shining, so time was running out as we had to quickly find a hiding place and prepare a defense system. As she suppressed the doubts in her mind, practical obligations emerged.
“We also decide our roles.”
When I spoke to Ain, he answered immediately without any hesitation.
“I make the final decision, Firefox negotiates, Yangmul scouts and manages the dogs and pigs.”
“Hey, don’t call me a pig or a pig.”
“Baby, pig’s feet and amppong are under your jurisdiction, so take care of them.”
I checked again because the division of work had to be clear so I couldn’t speak.
“You get the final approval, Rita handles the external negotiations, and I handle all the internal chores, right?”
“That’s right.”
“Are you ready for battle?”
“I am in full charge. “You take care of your females.”
“Okay, promise not to interfere.”
“Baby, if you keep doing this, everything will be lost.”
Stop playing with your tongue and go back to work.
“I took a quick look on the way, and there’s only one place over there that’s worth hiding in.”
I selected a place with a lot of bushes by hand. Rita, who knew nothing, raised a question by pointing to a place where there was a tall and large tree. When Ain seemed frustrated and didn’t understand, she told him to shut up and listen.
“Listen, anyone who stands out like that comes to explore. So, it has to be a place with lots of bushes and far away from the water. Since you have chosen a field team, it is greedy to expect comfortable lodging. However, it is also difficult to move too far away from Yeongchae. “You have to be within at least a 500m radius so you can go to the rescue of your allies at any time.”
“I have a question!”
“Try it.”
“So, we sleep in the forest too?”
I explained carefully that I did not want to lie down on the damp dirt floor.
“Do you see the big tree over there?”
“I can’t see it.”
“It’s an oak tree, and I’m planning to build a shelter up there and use it as a watchtower.”
“What about washing?”
“I have to give up on that.”

Everyone seemed disappointed by my declaration.
“No, then you’re asking me to receive roll call at Yeongchae in a dirty state?”
I scolded the child with a feeling of comfort.
“I will try my best, but I will still put hygiene as a secondary priority.”
After saying just that, he walked westward. I also asked the women following me not to make any noise or leave any traces. You will know this when you engage the enemy in a dense forest like this. The moment your position is exposed, you are at an absolute disadvantage. Paradoxically, I have learned from experience that not fighting the enemy is the best tactic.
“But how do you get up there and make a bed?”
When we arrived at the destination, Rita asked another question. Instead of answering, I asked Rosa to check if there were any water trees nearby. Then he silently squats down and digs up the dirt with his bare hands.
“Po, phone phone…… This place has a lot of water starting from the soil, so it’s okay…… !”
The soil is all black and wet.
“Okay, I’ll give you work instructions from now on.”
“No, you should answer my question first!”
“Temanah…… I also have a question…… “Can I ask you something now?”
Kite knew what questions she would ask, and she assured him that she would answer them later.
“We have to prepare a place to live before the sun sets. Sister Rosa, please help me figure out the number of water trees nearby. I would like Ain to check if there is a water supply source and also check the surroundings. Kite, you gather branches as long as my forearm. Rita, stop fussing and pick up a pebble. “I don’t think we’ll have time to make weapons today, so everyone needs to hurry.”
Rita said she wouldn’t accept any objections, so she leaned back against the tree and stretched out.
“I even received food?”
“If you want to sleep on the ground, do whatever you want.”
“It’s disgraceful.”
After encouraging Rosa, who finds it difficult to act alone, she sets off on her way. Rita grunted and dug up a rock with her foot. Ain wandered around the forest alone, and Kite followed me, picking up tree branches and holding them in her arms.
“Demana, what are you doing?”
“Tear down the vine.”
“What are you going to use that for?”
“I need to make a ladder.”
Once I explained it briefly, Kite seemed to understand.
“But something else occurred to me.”
“I have it too.”
“Oh…… “What is it?”
“I was wondering if my underwear wouldn’t get dirty.”
“Actually…… It’s inconvenient…… Let me ask you…… “It would be better if I didn’t.”
“Because I care.”
“Not yet…… “I think it’s okay.”
Now it’s your turn. My childhood friend says he doesn’t understand why people make ladders out of vines.
“Kite, sit there.”
“Oh…… “What should I do if I don’t have a rug?”
I took off my outer clothing and placed it on the dirt floor. Kite walked lightly, pressed his buttocks tightly to her and laughed.
“Teacher, please explain so that even a fool can understand.”
“Why do we want to make a bed on a tree?”
“It’s because there are poisonous insects and poisonous snakes on the ground!”
─No, that’s incidental.
“That’s right. But, there was also a reason to avoid being discovered by the enemy.”
“Oh…… “You did, right?”
─I’m sorry, I didn’t know you like this until now and I spoke too much in my own way.
“If it’s made of wood, it’s too big to hide. Instead, vines can be rolled up and stored, and they are easy to make. Look, just create each column separately and then connect them all. That’s it. If we just take the ingredients and work together, it will be over in no time. Of course, it will be a bit uncomfortable because the part you step on will shake, but you have to accept that.”
Kite smiled silently.
“Shall I explain again?”
“No…… I feel like I’ve become really kind…… Good mood.”
“That’s it.”
It felt like he was waiting for me to say something, so he exhaled and spoke together.
“I have been speaking too carelessly.”
“No…… “He was nice to me before, but he’s just been kinder these days.”
“With that in mind, let’s quickly gather the ingredients and let’s go.”
“Yes, teacher!”
When we returned to the tree trunk, everyone faithfully played their role.
“There were more than 20 water trees…… !”
“I could see Yangmul and Silgaecheon, but it seemed like it was about 1km away.”
How did I find out? I climbed the tallest tree in the area and looked down.
“What about Rita?”
“Okay, I picked it up like you told me to.”
I was pouting and pushing with my feet, but there were some that were too big to hold in my hand and throw. There was no need to criticize him, even though he worked hard for other reasons, so I praised him for doing a good job. I spread out the materials I brought with Kite on the floor and said.
“I’m going to make a vine ladder with this.”
Let’s tell them what to do, and everyone makes it one step at a time.
Rosa, Kite, Rita, and Ain paired up to create a square, and then I connected it to the other squares. The vine ladder was completed in less than an hour. Soon, a long trumpet sound was heard announcing the engagement.
“Everyone, get out of the way.”
I attached a vine to a rock and threw it as hard as I could up the oak tree. It was so high that I tried it three times and succeeded. Then he hooked the vine ladder to a branch and pulled it, and asked Rosa and Kite to hold the end. After pulling on it more than twice to make sure it was strong, I climbed up, and they used their body weight to keep the ladder from shaking.
“It’s sturdy.”
Everyone from Ain to Rosa climbed the tree saying I would catch them. Everyone was scared because it was quite high, so I hung a tree branch that could not be used on the ladder like a rung to give them a place to lie down.
“This is Ain’s seat.”
Ain laid on his back and covered himself with the blanket he had received.
“It’s so f*cking uncomfortable.”
This time, we made a place for Rita, and then a place for Kite and Rosa to lie down, and there was no more space.
“Hey, where are you going to sleep?”
When Ain pointed this out, she answered calmly, leaning her back against the tree.
“There must be one on-call watch.”
“Baby, take turns for 6 hours.”
Once everything was settled, Kite, hugging the blanket, asked.
“Just now…… “Can I tell you what I wanted to ask you now?”
