Chapter 292. Reckless driving is bad. (3)
Three days have passed.
In the meantime, strange rumors have been circulating among the people of the Charcoal Baram tribe.
“Did you hear honey? That person.”
“Are you human? who?”
“The person who came here a few days ago.”
“Oh, that guy with the red speeding sign? His name was Lloyd Frontera, maybe?”
“yes that’s right. Lloyd Frontera. But, well, that person is going to give a lecture.”
“lecture?”
“yes.”
“Which lecture?”
“They said they were going to give an in-depth lecture on what speeding is.”
“Is it really?”
“yes. You’ve been nervous about running lately, saying that it seems like you’re not as good as before.”
“Um, it was. It’s a big deal because my physical strength isn’t as good as before.”
“Then why don’t you listen to that lecture too?”
“Will it get better then?”
“Nothing. You have to go down to make it. I’m taking some of the kids along.”
“Are you taking the kids too?”
“You know what? How important is early education these days?”
“Well, that’s what I heard. Not from another race, but from a human being who got a red speeding sign. There must be a secret secret to running faster.”
“Is that right? I hope my kids will grow up to be great colts with a red mark just like that human.”
“Nothing. You are wise too.”
…There was also a conversation between a couple called.
or….
“older brother! There was a fuss!”
“what? What is it?”
“Well, the human who got that red speeding sign. That person is giving a lecture.”
“what? lecture? what lecture?”
“What is speeding! He said he would let everyone know.”
“…Write. Is that true?”
“yes.”
“Then it’s a big deal.”
“Isn’t it? I don’t know if this is spreading a running technique similar to the one we developed everywhere.”
“That’s right. It should remain our own secret.”
“Should I patent it now?”
“Hmm, when did you say the lecture was?”
“The day after tomorrow.”
“Tsk. Then it’s too late to file a patent. You won’t have enough time to be judged.”
“Then what should I do?”
“Let’s listen to the lecture first. It would be good to check what the person’s speeding theory is like.”
“Okay, brother. Shall I put my name on the lecture application list?”
“okay. Put everything up.”
“no way? You mean all of our members?”
“of course. Not only the running members, but the hoof maintenance team as well. Even if the speeding theory claimed by that person is different from our state law, it will be a reference.”
“yes. I understand, brother.”
…There was also a conversation among some Centaur youth members.
The rumors didn’t stop there.
It has also spread outside the realm of the Charcoal Wind Tribe.
Like a horse without feet running a thousand miles.
Rumors spread all over the Great Plains.
“Chief! A human with a red speeding mark in the neighboring Cobblestone Tribe territory is giving a talk!”
“This is an opportunity. If it is a human speeding theory, there will definitely be corners that are different from ours, so if you learn and refer to it at this opportunity, you will definitely benefit.”
“Let’s go too!”
“Faster!”
“Faster!”
“Without hesitation!”
Neighboring Wildgrass Rock Tribe, Deer Cloud Tribe, and Mushroom Stream Tribe and Dewpile Tribe.
In addition, countless centaurs from a total of 21 tribes located throughout the Great Plains flocked to hear the news of Lloyd’s lecture.
It was a crowded number like a cloud.
People of all ages and genders were diverse.
A young couple with a child.
An old leader who claims that he is still on active duty.
From the future wild running champion to the colt Centaur who is the future hope.
Just three days after the rumor spread, the village of the Charcoal Baram tribe became crowded with crowds or mapas (?) like Sindorim Station during rush hour.
Everyone had gathered to hear Lloyd’s lecture.
Thankfully, around the next morning.
Finally, the lecture on ‘What is Speeding?’ began.
“Hmm, thank you all for coming together like this. This is Lloyd Frontera.”
A vast grassland near Charcoal Wind Village.
Lloyd greeted the over 1,000 Centaurs gathered there.
Mana actually tightened the vocal chords with a clear voice.
He turned slightly and showed his back.
A red speeding ticket attached to his back revealed a clear figure.
At that moment, a quiet exclamation flowed among the centaurs who had gathered to listen to the lecture.
“…It’s real. It’s a real red speeding sign.”
“Looking at it in real life, it’s brilliant.”
“Mom, I’m seeing that for the first time.”
“Keep it in your eyes. You will become a great adult who will receive hundreds of such things later. Understand?”
Suk-deok Suk-deok, boom, boom!
Exclamations of whispers from all directions.
Envy lingered in the gaze that gathered toward Lloyd.
Meanwhile, Lloyd remained silent for a moment.
I waited for a moment for the clutter to subside.
When everyone’s eyes fell silent.
opened his mouth again.
“nice to meet you. I am the man with the red speeding flag. I believe that everyone came here because they were curious about my running secret. That’s right. What is speeding! Today, we would like to have a meaningful time to share an in-depth story about speeding with you. Shall we start with applause?”
Clap clap clap!
Naturally, the centaurs responded favorably.
A satisfied smile bloomed on Lloyd’s lips.
“Aren’t your palms cool? Blood circulation is so important. So, let’s start our lecture in earnest. what is speeding I think it’s a topic that everyone here is so desperately thinking about all day, every day. Is that correct?”
nod!
Everyone nodded.
It really was.
what is speeding
How can I run faster?
What can I do to run faster than my competitors like the wind?
That was their only concern.
It has always been something I have always wanted for the rest of my life.
Of course, Lloyd was well aware of that.
So, I prepared today’s lecture.
And laughed at everyone.
“To begin with, speeding is the most stupid thing ever.”
“…!”
Everyone’s wide-eyed eyes.
Eyes like what the heck are you talking about.
However, Lloyd’s tongue stepped on the full accelerator more relentlessly.
“It’s good to run fast, of course. It’s refreshing. also excited By the way. Let’s do some thoughts. Doesn’t it seem a bit empty and childish to run fast and show off your speed anywhere without distinction?”
“….”
“Spent a few days here and I saw it. The image of many people running at random in the tribal village. The crossroads between the stables, between the tents, alleys I ran just about anywhere around the area where young colts mingled. Then an accident almost happened. In fact, I have already witnessed many accidents big and small.”
“….”
“So will you? How fast do you run? It’s speeding or something, and it’s bluffing and running, causing an accident. Making another centaur hurt. I’m hurt too. Do you know what they call it in the human world? It is just a waste of money.”
“….”
Everyone was silent.
But the silence was quite chilly.
It was the same with the gaze that was directed towards this side.
It was a much more callous response than expected.
A bitter smile appeared on Lloyd’s lips.
It also reminded me of my days living in Korea.
‘There were also people who drove recklessly.’
Looking back, it wasn’t subtle, but it was quite.
Even though the green pedestrian light came on at the crossroads, I could often see vehicles pushing in from the head first.
There was even a car passing between people crossing the crosswalk.
It was the same on small roads without traffic lights in the neighborhood.
There is a person standing in front of the crosswalk.
Even when trying to cross the crosswalk.
Of course, there were far more cars passing by ignoring pedestrians as if the cars came first.
It was about to be able to find a vehicle that stopped to pass pedestrians first.
Is that all?
‘There were many cases where I parked my car in a no-parking zone or near a fire hydrant crosswalk. Violation of the speed limit is standard. Everyone slows down to hit the speed limit only when they pass a spot with a speed camera, and as soon as they pass the camera, they step on the accelerator. In fact, I did too.’
before going to the army.
Even before the house tilted.
There was a time when I got my driver’s license and drove my father’s car all the way to Busan.
I first knew it then.
The 110km speed limit on the Central Inland Expressway is a speed that is observed only in places where there are enforcement cameras.
In a place where there is no camera, everyone 130 140 150 laughs at me.
Even in town it was the same.
‘The speed limit in the city is 50 60…. no one kept it No, but that’s a nobleman. At least, normal people don’t drive recklessly, even if they speed up a little. But some people…ha.’
When I thought about it, I sighed.
Frequently seen reckless drivers.
It is basic to cut in without even blinking.
As if risking his life to cross the range, he sped up and cast a tail bite.
I have often seen cars cutting three or four lanes as if crossing continents.
They also threw cigarette butts out of the window, blowing away cigarette ash and sparks.
Some drivers honked their horns and blew high beams as if threatening the car in front of them from behind.
‘That’s openly reckless driving and ignorant threat driving.’
But such cases were not uncommon.
Quite a lot.
It was a bit of a shock to me.
I thought that wasn’t much.
I wondered what the heck I was thinking when I got behind the wheel.
It was the same even now.
‘The centaurs here are similar. The perception itself that they are reckless driving is thin. ‘Cause it’s always been that way It’s because it’s been taken for granted as a tradition to radiate speed anywhere. They just can’t accept the concept of keeping the speed and observing the surroundings depending on the location.’
I’m only interested in running fast.
I think that’s the most important thing.
It was safe and nothing.
I thought I should change that.
So it was.
Lloyd spoke even more forcefully.
No, he openly provoked the centaurs.
“If you are a person with common sense, if you are a being with intelligence, then if you are a person with manners who know how to be considerate of your surroundings, you must know how to distinguish where to run and where not to run. Wouldn’t it be? Everyone doesn’t just go to the toilet anywhere, right? The same goes for running. Depending on the place, you must be able to distinguish whether it is a place to rampage or not and judge and run. but that doesn’t work? Do you know what such a person is called?”
“….”
Still no one answered.
Lloyd’s voice spread clearly in everyone’s silence that grew even cooler.
“Unconceived. I can express it with this word. But unfortunately, that’s the case with a lot of what I’ve seen here. Even when kids are nearby, they just run. Whether or not there are others in the range, it runs as if you were to avoid it. Then, when they bump into each other, fall down, and make a fuss, they hold on to their broken legs and regret it. what is that really The best driver or runner doesn’t run like that.”
“…Then how do you run, you proud human man!”
Finally, a voice of protest broke out.
Centaurs gathered for a lecture.
Among them, there was a young man who stood out.
It was likely to be 1.2 times the size of the others, and even its hooves were thick and strong.
The well-developed muscles of the legs and whole body wriggled like statues.
The silky white hair that covered the whole body was also impressive.
Even his face was exhilaratingly handsome.
Lloyd asked the young man.
“Yes, what is your name?”
“Out of the Comanche. Champion here on the Great Plains for three years in a row.”
“champion? Are you saying that you are the fastest centaur?”
“exactly. I am also the next warchief to lead all the centaurs of this land.”
The young man turned his back towards us.
The red speeding sign attached to his back like a medal was clearly visible.
It was five sheets.
said the Centaur Champion Comanche.
“I think this should have sufficed with my introduction. Anyway, I want to ask that handsome man. How on earth does the best runner with common sense, intelligence, and consideration that you claim run? I’d like to hear some good opinions.”
“That’s a good question. The answer to you is simple. Run to your heart’s content only in designated areas. Don’t be a nuisance to those around you.”
“Does that mean we should limit ourselves to our right to run freely anywhere?”
“It would be a riot, not a right.”
“It is our tradition!”
“It’s not a tradition, it must be a bad habit.”
“Can you prove that rude remark and take responsibility?”
“How can I prove it and take responsibility?”
“Run with me!”
An excited Comanche punched me in the chest.
He almost shouted at this direction.
“I don’t know because you’re a human, but we, the centaurs, don’t listen to the slow. So prove it. That you are faster than our race!”
“Hmm, I already got a red speeding placard?”
“That must have been won by the hamster, not you!”
The Comanche pointed in this direction.
“I heard from my cousin, the ranger. He said he competed on a giant hamster! That’s why I can’t admit it. cowardly Prove how fast you are by kicking off the ground with your own legs and cutting through the wind!”
“So it sounds like you’re saying that if I run against you without riding anything and win, you’ll accept my opinion. Is that right?”
“exactly!”
“Then is this a challenge from Mr. Comanche to me?”
“Of course!”
The Comanche exclaimed excitedly.
And I was sure.
A pitiful, slow-witted human who walks and runs on two slender legs.
There was no way he, as a centaur champion, would ever lose to such a race.
So today, in front of everyone’s eyes, I’m going to flatten that cheeky, spoiled human’s nose.
He had a fierce smile full of confidence.
Thanks to that, Lloyd also smiled widely.
And I thought.
He said he caught it right.
