A Wild Man Has Entered the Academy

Soul World, in other words, allows violence even in the game.

Whether the other side insults you or you simply feel like hitting them, it doesn't matter. You can even attack your allies.

However, as in any civilization, the moment you wield violence recklessly, you are met with the iron hammer of the law.

There's a saying that civilization began by fighting with words, not fists. For that reason, direct violence is generally avoided.

[Civilized people are ruder than barbarians because their heads don't get split open even if they speak rudely.]

It's a phrase that could be considered a legendary quote. In some ways, it makes barbarians seem more polite.

But just because you're civilized doesn't mean your head won't get split open. If you cross the line with your words, punches are bound to follow.

Moreover, this world is pure 'romance' itself. The scope of self-defense is very wide, so speaking recklessly can lead to big trouble.

For instance, imagine a commoner insulting a noble. Even if the noble knocks out the commoner's teeth, it's unlikely anyone would complain.
