Chapter 19: The Hunter's Readiness (4)
Contrary to Jamie's expectations, the Hawks woke up sooner than expected.
He looked at the ceiling of the building.
His last memory was the sight of a huge light flying towards him.
It looks like he hastily counterattacked, but seeing that he is unconscious... It must have been a failure.
lost to humans
I lost to a race I thought was weak.
However, it did not feel unexpectedly humiliating.
"Your expression looks more peaceful than you think?"
"Isis. Did you bring me here?"
Yes.
Isis was sitting at the table, sipping tea.
Hawks tried to get up, frowned, and lay back on his back.
I didn't realize it when I was just lying down, but when I moved a little, I felt pain all over my body.
Don't even think about moving the Doctor for a while. They said that the whole body had lost its taste."
" lost.
"You lost to a human who thought you were weak. very terribly So, how are you feeling?"
"It's not as humiliating as I thought."
At that, Isis widened her eyes.
I thought the Hawks would not accept this defeat easily.
"I thought you would say that Jamie Welton is a special guy, and that humans themselves are a weak race."
"That's right too."
also.
Isis drank the tea with a look of what to say more.
Hawks looked up at the ceiling without a word, as if in thought for a moment, then opened his mouth.
"I didn't break my beak. I really thought you would break it."
Yeah? why didn't you break it If it were me, I would have broken it."
"Actually, how many times have you broken it?"
"It was."
When Hawks was training under Isis, it wasn't for a day or two that he was beaten for the cause of sparring.
When excessive, the wings were damaged or the beak was broken in some cases.
"It has been since then. You cried out that you were going to be strong anyway."
"Because I didn't want to be left as an underdog."
"Ugh~"
Hawks closed his eyes.
I remember that day.
The opponent was a black dragon.
It is unknown why they attacked the village of the Join tribe.
Hawks, who was the leader of the Joining tribe, led the soldiers to the battle to stop the Black Dragon.
It was a terrible defeat.
All of his subordinates died, and he himself was in danger of dying.
However, the black dragon did not kill himself.
He just slapped his head and said.
- Weak things will only fall apart if you struggle. And JOIN is just a garbage race. Be it human, dwarf or elf. When you see a dragon like me, you immediately bow your head and act like a slave.
humiliation for being weak.
The Hawks were unbearable.
On the one hand, he felt pathetic.
He suffered because he was weak.
If it wasn't for weakness, none of this would have happened.
If he had been strong, he would have been able to protect everyone.
- The weak act like the weak.
The unknown black dragon smiled and said so.
The weak are the weak.
The strong be the strong.
Those words were engraved in Hawks' mind.
Can the strong abuse the weak?
Should the weak accept the bullying of the strong with a smile?
It was absurd.
The Hawks tried to kill him, but the Black Dragon said with a smile.
"This is the 'right of the strong'.
There the Hawks couldn't deny it.
Because it was actually the strong who held the right to escape.
If you become strong, you can enjoy such things.
But is that right?
no.
I agree with him to some extent.
The strong have their work, and the weak have their work to do only for the weak.
But it shouldn't be forced.
Because the strong exist, the weak exist, and the weak exist because the strong exist.
If that balance is broken, the world will only roll with the logic of power.
The world will be overflowing with black dragons.
We need a strong force to stop such a bastard.
The present self is weak.
'Then I will become a strong man! I will become a strong person who protects the weak from such things!'
Hawks, who realized the direction of life after seeing the mad Black Dragon, eventually pursued the same way, only in a different degree.
The world is trapped in a 'dualistic thinking' that consists only of the strong and the weak.
Hawks did not realize that it was a twisted thought.
After that, Isis appeared and cut down the Black Dragon.
Later, I heard that I was planning to bring the Joiners to the Frontier, but a black lizard was messing around, so I cut it off first.
Isis was strong, and she acted for the weak.
whether that makes sense or not.
The Hawks asked her to teach, and the gifted man quickly absorbed the teaching and quickly rose to the ranks of the strongest.
And now.
'I lost.'
For people who thought they were weak.
I didn't know until I lost.
Humans, and weak races similar to humans, only thought of them as objects to be protected.
They felt it was their job to serve the strong and help them move more smoothly.
In fact, my opinion hasn't changed much.
"Humans are weak. Dwarves don't have much to see other than their crafting skills. Elves are just like high elves, too. But I mean."
Isis said in silence with her chin on the table.
"They are struggling too. To be sure, on average, the Join tribe is not as strong as the three major races, but it is true that there are many humans instead. There are monsters born that rival us in many numbers."
"Jamie Wellton."
"It's not enough. Limit, Jindo, Beirill. There are countless powerful people who represent the human world. What about dwarves? Even though they are not born with force, they have the technical skills to narrow the level of strength. So, are they weak? How about the elf? They aren't born with the strength of the high elves, but they do have children like Sharan.
To the unanswered Hawks, Isis continued.
"I've said it before. You are under a curse."
"A curse of power?"
"The stimulation I got from that black lizard is tormenting you like a compulsion. Wake up, Hawks. The world is not a binary world made up of only the strong and the weak."
Isis stood up immediately.
The Hawks will also need some alone time.
As she walked out the door, she left one last word.
"With this valuable defeat, I hope you will have an understanding too. rest.
Hawks turned his head to see where she had left.
"It's a priceless defeat ."
Somehow, it felt like my heart was being relieved.
I didn't know why I was upset.
* * *
master!
host!
Bena and Behemoth rushed at the same time.
But Jamie was a little tired, so he passed the two of them and headed for bed.
He took off his robe and lay flat on the bed.
"Are you very tired?"
"It's like that."
