A Wild Man Has Entered the Academy

17 – Adaptation (4)

The instant sparring with Sivar and Elvin ended quickly. However, the ripple effect was amazing despite the short time.

Alvin was a person who spread knowledge about knowing even before she entered the academy. She is considered to be a promising young talent.

In a meritocratic academy, high recognition means strength.

However, Elvin’s attacks did not hit even once.

I would understand if it was blocking, but Shivar evaded every single attack.

In order to evade, excellent fuselage vision and appropriate agility are required.

At least in terms of agility, it meant that he was several orders of magnitude higher than Elvin.

“You must have broken it with your mouth earlier, right?”

“I saw it clearly. How strong is it?”

“It’s impossible if you’re strong, nabal, and human.”

The animal-like movements were also impressive, but among them, Sivar’s eccentricity was highlighted.

No matter how much mana is put into human teeth, the limit is clear. No one would do such a thing in the first place.

But Sivar broke the sword with his teeth. It was astonishing that he received the attack with his mouth.

Can you really call that a human? At least not even savages would do such a thing.

A beast wearing human clothing. Those who watched the Dalian couldn’t help but think of Sivar that way.

“Luna, did you know that man was like that?”

“A little bit.”

Luna, who was watching the sparring from the stands, answered Grace’s question.

I guessed from the time I subdued Mankey in an instant, from the time I fought Ratatosque. How strong is Shivar.

That’s why I had a strong feeling that Shibar ‘played with me’ in this match. A light prank on each other.

Because I was born and raised in the countryside, I know what kind of pranks animals play. Bears in particular tend to play pranks like this often.

Sivar showed exactly that kind of behavior. Elvin struggled, while she treated him flutteringly.

‘No threat at all.’

Alvin’s skill is such that even Luna, who entered as her top student, admires it. Her sword was unwaveringly clean and swift at the same time.

It was clear at a glance that he had solidified his basic skills and climbed up. If she had been attached herself, she would have struggled quite a bit.

However, Sivar dodged Elvin’s attacks one by one and broke the sword with her mouth.

It is an impossible eccentricity if there is no overwhelming difference in skill.

“Since Zerka Young-shik has been lethargic, attention must be focused on that man. It will be difficult to approach him because the president is by his side.”

“······Are you also interested in Sivar, Mr. Grace?”

“You can’t say no, can you?”

Grace gave a meaningful answer with a grin. Luna hardened her complexion at that smile.

For some reason, she had a strong hunch that she might be entangled. She is not blind.

Besides, I was worried about Sivar too. Currently, the president has it, but people don’t know how to do it.

Perhaps the group, having noticed his powerlessness, will play tricks. Luna was most concerned about this part.

“Sivar has lived in the wild and knows nothing. He neither speaks nor reads.”

If you’re going to use Sivar, I’ll do my best to stop it. His power is too dangerous.

I couldn’t properly watch the match against Ratatosque, but I watched the aftermath with my own two eyes.

If that power is used in a wrong place, there will be dire consequences. That much should be blocked.

“Then why do you obey the President’s words? This is a bit curious.”

“I can’t speak, but I can communicate to some extent.”

“Hmm.”

At Luna’s answer, Grace looked forward. Medical staff are coming in to see if there are any injuries.

Both of them didn’t seem to be hurt anywhere. Because Sivar was so neatly subdued.

Grace stared at Sivar, who was standing there, and then spoke to Luna.

“If we can communicate, wouldn’t we be able to build a friendship?”

“Yes?”

Luna asked with a puzzled expression. It’s a nuance of what that means.

At that response, Grace responded with her characteristic mocking expression.

“Isn’t it okay? If we can communicate, we can express it to that guy named Shivar. I want to get to know you.”

“······I don’t know what to gain from being friends with Sivar. He’s not a savage, he’s a wild man.”

It seemed like he was dissing Shibar, but it was absolutely true. He is a wild man who may be treated worse than a savage.

Everyone is only interested in it, but few will approach it like Grace.

Because what you can get from it is so uncertain. It will literally end on the line that only gives attention.

It’s only natural that you’d get tired if something strange happened after you approached it for nothing.

“I think I know what Luna is worried about. But she won’t be worried about Luna. I’m curious about that guy in a pure sense.”

“It doesn’t matter if it’s like that, but…”

“Anyway, that’s strange. Why is Luna-san covering that guy?”

Grace’s question pops in without warning. Luna blinked her eyes at the question.

“Me?”

“Yes. When I listened to him, I felt a strong sense of protection.”

Luna rolled her eyes when she heard that, and she was lost in thought.

She said that she was just trying to prevent Shivar from being used…

‘Oh.’

I realized it belatedly, but it was too late. After checking Luna’s expression, Grace’s purple eyes stood out.

Then she gave a meaningful smile and asked in a confident voice.

I don’t know if it’s because of her impression, but there was a lot of pressure transmitted to Luna.

“Can you think of anything greater than that?”

“··· ···”

“I don’t know what that is, but I’m looking forward to it.”

Grace got up from her seat with a smile on her face. Seeing her like that, Luna felt her despondency.

‘I was attacked.’

That was also properly done.

She was just trying to prevent Shivar from being used.

However, it had the opposite effect. She ended up letting Sivar know that she had a secret.

From now on, Grace will approach Sivar. Fortunately, Rod is protecting it.

‘It’s not easy…’

I feel drained of energy simply by talking. Not even a day has passed yet, but so many things have happened.

Luna sighed and looked towards her arena. It seems that everyone, including Sivar, has already left the arena.

There’s nothing I can do about it even if I stay here. Since I don’t think I will be able to train, I plan to rest at the dorm.

“Hey. You there.”

“··· ···”

“Yellow hair. You, you. Don’t pretend you don’t know.”

What else is this time? Luna, who got up from her seat, twitched her eyebrows at the sound of her being called.

Grace at least used honorifics. Even herself, a commoner, knows manners.

Luna thought so and turned her head. She and she knew the identity of her caller, and she softened a little.

“You are…”

Red hair of moderate length. Green eyes reminiscent of a green forest.

She exuded a wild atmosphere with cat-like eyes, and among them, she was a beautiful woman with impressive bronze skin.

The clothes were also very cool. Even though it was spring and the weather was cool, I only wore a black tank top.

Furthermore, the scars of her awareness were engraved all over her arms, further contrasting with her tanned skin.

It’s rough. It was Luna’s first impression of her woman. And she knows who this woman is too.

‘Yaman······ No. A Tatar princess?’

It’s no exaggeration to say that she is currently receiving the most attention from the academy, a freshman.

She is the princess of ‘Tatar’, a country that finally established a country after living a nomadic and plundering life just a few years ago.

However, because of the splendid history, many people tend to degrade Tatars as barbarians.

It is no different at the academy. Although she is clearly a princess of a country, she is openly barbaric and is often looked down upon.

Because the woman in front of her served her bowl of porridge each time, it became famous in many ways.

‘The name is clear…’

Kara.

I don’t know her last name, but I know she was that name.

“What do you want the princess to do with me?”

At Luna’s question, Kara, the princess of Tartar, turned her gaze to the arena. Sivar and Elvin have already left the arena.

She looked at Luna again and her tick-tick said in her tone.

“I heard that you brought the man who was sparring there, right?”

“So what?”

Luna replied curtly. Since she squeaks in short words on the other side, there is no reason to be kind on this side either.

Kara brought out what she wanted to say to Luna in a sharp tone, as if it had nothing to do with it.

“Could you tell me where the man is?”

“··· ···”

If I had known it would be like this, I would not have taken her from the forest. Luna sighed inwardly at her continued attention.

I want to give a crooked answer. But the manners she had learned from her master prevented that.

Moreover, there is nothing good about her even if she loses Chuck with that other side. The more enemies there are, the greater the loss.

“Chivar is with you. It will be difficult to meet him.”

“It doesn’t matter. I just asked out of curiosity.”

“But what about Shivar?”

Why is this woman interested in Shivar?

When Luna asked with that meaning, Kara shrugged her shoulders and answered.

“You look strong.”

From noble mtl dot com

“Yes?”

“Looks strong. That’s all.”

She was dumbfounded until she heard the answer.

“Come to think of it, you said you were the top in admissions? You must be strong because you’re the top in admissions. Are you stronger than that guy earlier?”

“······No?”

“There is no need to be humble.”

Absolutely not humble. She should have seen Shivar and Ratatosk fight.

If I had gotten caught up in it, I wouldn’t be here right now. You can be sure of this.

“Oh, what’s your name? All I know is that you’re the head of the admissions department.”

“My name is Luna Estelle. What about the princess…?”

“Just feel free to call me Kara. I’m leaving. Bye!”

She leaves her seat with a lively greeting just like her appearance. Contrary to rumors, her violent side was rare.

Luna watched her back as she left. Did she even feel her gaze?

Kara paused her steps for a moment before turning her back to look at Luna. Luna looked at her startled.

Before long, Kara grinned until all her white teeth were exposed.

“Do you like it?”

“Yes?”

“I like it.”

Kara left, leaving behind incomprehensible words. Luna didn’t get out of her daze until she was gone.

She really is a stormy woman. Seeing that she just says her own thing and leaves, she feels that way strongly.

But, strangely enough, she didn’t feel bad or anything like that. Rather, it seems to have worked as Kara’s own charm.

“Haa…”

Luna let out a long sigh and looked up at the sky.

It seems like a lot of time has passed, but the sky is so blue. It feels like time is passing slowly.

‘I want to go home.’

I am really looking forward to what will happen in the future.

Really.

*****

Even after the couplets were over, she did not return to her place of residence immediately. Rod called Alvin for a while and we talked.

I watched while munching on candy from the side. He handed me a piece of candy in case I leaked somewhere else.

Anyway, Rod seemed to think he could handle me with just one candy.

For now, I plan to follow suit. It’s definitely not because of the candy.

Really.

“······You asked for books for children to read?”

“A book is a book, but I want you to prepare a glossary as well. I’ve never raised a child, so I don’t know what’s good.”

“I’ve never raised a child, but…”

“Do you have any brothers?”

“There are, but I don’t teach them myself.”

Looks like he’s asking for a book I can read.

Anyway, I’m getting older and reading fairy tales. I’d rather have them wake up from the words.

Whether or not I grumble inside, Alvin gave me one glance before she said dazed.

“Can I get children’s books from the academy?”

“There are some professors who live with their families, so I’m sure there aren’t any.”

“Um… I see. How many books will be enough?”

“A book that everyone should have read.”

Perhaps even Elvin noticed it. Rod is running errands to teach me how to write.

Elvin glanced at me again and nodded her head. The errand itself shouldn’t be difficult.

“Thank you. Is there anything you want?”

“No. Not really. But I’m worried about that Shivarr.”

Suddenly why am I. Are you saying that you lost in Dalian?

It was when I was squinting my eyes. Rod asked Alvin if he had any doubts as well.

“What do you mean by that?”

“I just found out through sparring. If that power is directed at a person…”

Ah. Was it like that I think you know what I mean.

Rod seemed to have noticed Alvin’s intentions, and answered with firmness.

“That’s what I have with me to stop that.”

“What would you do if that power was directed at you, President?”

That will never happen. No matter how much it is, I will just die if I go to the president now.

The ‘surname’ of a swordsman is not a title that is attached to a tag.

If I fought directly without even adding a section, I would die without even knowing why I died.

“Hmm…”

Rod looked at me at Alvin’s words and then fixed his gaze for a while. I munched only the candy that was almost completely melting.

Then he smiled benevolently and gave a rather creepy reply.

“I’ve heard from old times that a child who doesn’t listen can be taught well. However, they say that an animal will obey you only if it is beaten with a stick.”

“··· ···”

“I will firmly believe that Sivar is a rebellious child. Not a beast.”

I decided to become a child who listens well.
