050 – School tuition is more expensive than you think! # 1

050 – School tuition is more expensive than you think! # 1

I wasn’t one who liked to talk about the past.

In particular, it was stressful even to think about the time from when it landed on the Pangea continent to about two months.

Still, if I had to think about it, the first thing I could remember was the intense hunger and thirst that shook me.

Hunger as if even my soul was drying up.

When I came to my senses, I was all alone in a forest-like place with thick bushes, and there was really nothing to eat.

What would I be able to eat if I went to a convenience store to buy ice cream and suddenly fell into a place like the Amazon jungle?

After a few days of doing that, when I thought, “Oh, if I continue like this, I’m really going to starve to death,” I would tear off the bark and chew on it, or eat the tender-looking sprouts.

I picked up mushrooms and ate just about anything, and after eating something that looked like a strange raspberry, I suffered from diarrhea and stomach pain.

-There is a savage over there! Are you an outcast or a dropout from your tribe?

-Catching and selling would be expensive!

Then, were they chased by ‘human hunters’?

Human hunters were literally professional hunters of humans.

They hunt people with nooses and nets. Wow, I never knew a real net could be such a powerful weapon.

The net, which I thought was something to catch fish, was thrown toward me, but once it started to get entangled, I couldn’t move it.

It’s a net opener.

anyway.

Eventually I was captured by human hunters.

They took me to a place called Sanchae in Kowloon.

Somewhere in the forest, thieves’ huts and hideouts were messily connected, forming a gigantic fortress.

It was also said to be a place like a hell on earth where all kinds of thieves and scoundrels from all over the world gather.

-A savage guy. There will be someone who will buy you at a high price.

-Perhaps Judas will buy it expensively? Didn’t you say you’re looking for something to be dedicated to Nocton?

The stronghold and hometown of all thieves in the world.

their royal capital.

Wild Vegetables in Kowloon

For that reason, it was said that the “King of Thieves” reigned from generation to generation in the wilds of Kowloon sitting on a garbage throne made by piling up all kinds of loot and stolen garbage.

– Should I sell it to a homo kid? I don’t know if he likes savages or not.

– Oh, what? Hey, that bastard jumps!

– Untie the rope and jump out? My, my dagger! Why is my dagger in that bastard’s hand!?

– Catch!

I cut the rope and ran away desperately.

I didn’t know what it would be like to be sold into slavery in a den of thieves.

Fortunately or unfortunately, the kingdom of thieves was full of alleys and shadows to hide those who had fled from the world.

Maybe it was when he spent about a week in a city on earth without any laws or ethics.

-Are you the savage who escaped from the hunter Raki brothers? You also stole the dagger from Brother Raki? I’m pretty good at it. I’m still frantic that the hunter brothers will tear you apart if they find you.

-… … .

-Don’t be too wary. My name is Tamar. you are? no. I don’t think I’ve eaten anything before that. Would you like some potatoes? I ate half and leftovers.

Yes, Tamar… , No, it was just then that I met Salome now.

At the time, Salome had long blonde hair.

His eyes were blue and his skin was white.

To me, who had been barely surviving in forests and mountains infested with thieves and savages for about a month, the beauty of a woman struck me as sharper than a real awl.

– Would you like to work with me? I want to steal something. We need an actor for the role of a burly man.

All the more, if a woman like that had even done me a favor.

– In fact… What I’m trying to steal is the name. The name of the man who killed my mother. By the way. Being with you makes me feel better. you are really weird

-Am I weird?

-Yes, not like a savage. It’s not like a thief. I feel like you’re fundamentally different from the trash that’s teeming with this world. Maybe that’s why I’m new to stealing.

-Tamar, even though I look like this, I am a college graduate. I was suddenly drawn to this strange place while traveling. It’s the first time I’ve ever done anything like stealing.

– Barbara’s university? Ha ha ha, that can’t be But it was an interesting story. I want to go too. where the university is. where the school is.

At the time, I was full of hope.

Even though I fell into an unfamiliar world, I hope that I can somehow manage it with my own two hands.

The stealing I learned from Tamar was increasing, and I felt that I was adjusting to this savage world to some extent.

At the time, I was full of confidence.

-Tamar, let’s go together when everything is over. If you defeat your mother’s enemy, Judas or something, you will leave this place. I heard that there is a big school in a country called a principality.

-Everything is over and I’m leaving… . Hey. why do you say that to me

– Yes, I… Tamar, I hate to see you in such a dirty and mean place. I… I wish you could see the world a little better.

-Are you confessing that?

-… … .

It was the first confession I made to the opposite sex in my life.

What was my appearance at the time?

what kind of answer will come

I was so nervous that my heart felt like it was about to burst.

Fortunately or unfortunately, the woman laughed at my story.

Long enough to bring tears to my eyes.

-What kind of cowardly confessions are there? I mean, though. It was fun. A lot of people have confessed to me, but you are the most stupid of them all. Is it because I am an unlearned savage?

-… … .

-I’m still happy. you’re leaving here I never even thought about it. there is Shall we just leave today? just shake it all off no one me… , to a place where they can’t find us.

Maybe I am the main character of the world.

I thought so.

But that was just my misunderstanding, and I was still a kid among kids.

– Sick. I am the daughter of Judas. Judas, whom I said was my enemy, is actually my only father, and this mountain in Kowloon is my hometown and home. i will never leave this place

lie?

from scratch?

every moment?

-This is your last class. If you want to be a thief, there’s always something to keep in mind. Never trust anyone else. Assume you paid your tuition.

-Princess, what should I do with this guy? Can I offer it as a sacrifice to Nocturne?

– No. This guy has some skills. Instead of offering it as a sacrifice, put it in the underground arena first. You said you needed someone to fight two lions, right?

yes.

This is the starting point of a long bad relationship.

I survived by doing everything I could to survive.

standing here now

“Judas, do you have a daughter? little bitch. six year old. black hair.”

Salome raised her leg on the chair and asked softly.

He must have known about Naru.

Yes, Salome is a thorough thief.

Because he is the type of thief who makes calculations considering thorough preliminary work and variables, rather than acting instinctively out of a rush of emotions.

It was clear that he had done a lot of research on me and Naru as well.

said Salome.

“When you confessed to me, you said you had never had a girlfriend. Do you have a six-year-old child? The timing is not right. Aren’t you a total liar?”

I think I misunderstood something.

You don’t need to explain.

no.

It’s a good opportunity to be sarcastic.

“Don’t trust anyone—. Wasn’t this the last lesson you taught me? The back of the head is still tingling from the back of the head.”

I was about to nod when I said let’s leave together, but suddenly something very hard from behind cut me in the back of the head.

The thief Conrad or something had hit me on the head with an iron club.

I don’t know if it’s because of it, but even now the back of my head feels a little sunken.

Write, it sometimes hurts when it rains.

Salome laughs hysterically, unaware of my regrets.

“Byeong-sin, it is the fault of the deceived person. An idiot who thinks he likes you for being a little nice to him.”

Soon, nods were heard from inside the meeting room.

“It is the fault of the deceived.”

“I can’t help it if I was deceived.”

look.

Thieves have a problem with this.

Because the mindset itself is different.

These guys basically had the mindset that it was their fault that the victim suffered.

Pair-.

Then someone clapped.

It was Barabbas, a muscle thief.

“I know very well that the 13th Judah and the back alley princess, the daughter of the former Judas, have a bad relationship. But now, why not have a more constructive talk?”

Chak-.

Muscle thief Barabbas spread what looked like a leather scroll on the table.

There was something like a mind map drawn on it, but if you look closely, you can see that people’s names and characteristics are written on it.

“The organization chart of Tenebris brought by Salome. Among the officers here, Scheheherazade the Lust and Al-Sahad the Oman are dead. Since Salome of Greed betrayed her, are there four left?”

Tenebris was unofficially said to be an organization made up of seven executives with platinum skills.

Each had seven attributes: arrogance, lust, envy, anger, greed, gluttony, and sloth.

Among them, arrogance and lust were surely dead, and Salome, who took the place of greed, betrayed the team and joined the “Council of Shadows”, so there were four left.

anger. gluttony. sloth. jealousy.

Shuk-.

Salome lowered the leg she had placed on the table.

Then, after adjusting his posture, he pointed to the chart with his finger and said,

“It looks like your executives are left, but I don’t know for sure. What’s certain is that Mara is angry. It’s the apostate monk of Ilgwang Ascension. There is also a gluttonous priestess.”

“What is the gluttonous priestess?”

Barabbas asked.

To that question, Salome answered calmly.

“I like to eat. That’s why it’s named. no one knows the identity But you know what’s going to happen in the future. It’s no exaggeration to say that all of our strategies originate from this shaman.”

It was a story that reminded me of astrologer Tywin.

Could Tywin be the priestess of gluttony?

As I wondered if the two were related, Salome pointed at one of the letters.

“I saw the guy sitting on Sloth’s seat once. I thought you were from the Principality of Phrygia. Either because of his bad temper or lack of sociability, he never attended a meeting. But I’m sure he’s a dangerous guy.”

Your explanation is quite nice.

It was while I was looking at Salome with suspicion.

said the old thief.

“My lady, I want you to carry out one request to prove that you will leave Tenebris and join the Shadow Council. Are you okay?”

“What.”

“I want you to help me oust the officers from Tenebris. I can’t trust you if you don’t do that much. Isn’t that the way the world of thieves is originally?”

In other words.

If he wanted to prove the sincerity of Salome’s surrender, he was told to bring the head of an executive from Tenebris, who belonged to his former affiliation.

Certainly, there must be few ways to prove Salome’s intentions.

Is it the wisdom of the elderly?

The old man immediately spoke to me in a low voice.

“Can you spy on Salome? All of her words may be lies, but her skills are real. You’re the only one among us who can keep an eye on that woman.”
