A Wild Man Has Entered the Academy

8 – I’m Sivar (1)

While Ellie was chatting with Sivar, Luna entered a cave presumably inhabited by wild people.

The cave was very dark even though it was morning. In response, she took one of her belongings out of her arms.

On the outside, it looks like an ordinary stone. But the truth was soon revealed.

Flash!

The stones, which had not been of any color, gave off a bright light. The intensity was enough to brighten the entire interior of the dark cave.

This is a glowstone given by the academy in case of distress. When you put magic into it, it automatically emits light.

She scanned the interior of her cave with her glowstone in one hand. The first thing that catches your eye is the floor.

‘Is it leather?’

Leathers presumed to have slept on are lying on the floor.

Most of the old and worn things are probably better than sleeping on a hard floor.

Above all, the size of each piece of leather is very large. It is large even assuming that it will shrink in size due to wear and tear.

‘As expected, that man. It’s very strong.’

Even when I killed Mankey in an instant, I expected it, but the power is amazing.

If it wasn’t for that man, Ellie wouldn’t be a man of this world. A terrible nightmare was about to be born.

Mankey is one of the most difficult monsters to defeat. It is agile for its size, so it goes to the goal the moment it is caught off guard.

Moreover, it is impossible to make a quick decision like that man. The difficulty starts with crushing Mankey’s leg with a crude stone axe.

‘Because most of the big monsters have strong lower bodies. Hmm?’

As she looked around with the glowstone, something caught her attention.

That’s a stone ax and a stone spear neatly placed on the wall. Apparently, it also uses windows.

Seeing that, Luna carefully picked up a stone axe. A heavy feeling passed through her hand.

From the outside, it’s an ordinary stone axe. A stone ax made of tendons and leather, probably because of good manual dexterity.

‘Let’s check.’

Somehow, it was confirmed that there was something special about the stone axe. As soon as she thought of it, her eyes tightened.

When she gave strength to her eyes, a different color stood out in her shining blue eyes. Like the eyes of beasts shining in the dark of the night.

[Sturdy Stone Ax: F+]

From noble mtl dot com

[A stone ax made stronger with sinew and leather.]

[It is built to be strong, but even this will soon be destroyed. Instead, it is as effective as a weapon as it is hard.]

[Special Effects: None]

Numerous letters were arranged in Luna’s field of vision. Surprisingly, these are the contents contained in the stone axe.

An ability she had since birth. When you focus on a particular object, a related explanation appears in front of your eyes.

Through this, you can distinguish whether food is poisoned or not, and you can preoccupy valuable artifacts.

I used it usefully when I was in her hometown, but I don’t know how I got it.

‘You broke Mankey’s leg with this crude stone axe?’

Luna read the description of her stone ax and her expression hardened a bit.

There are grades for items, and the higher the grade, the more diverse abilities and effects.

But look at this stone axe. It has no effect and the rating is the worst. With this, she hunted Manky in an instant.

Even her own sword is not an F, but a B+ much higher than that. It is because the sword was made by the blacksmith of his hometown using his skills.

How strong is that man? Luna set her stone ax back where it was.

‘This is… How long have you been there?’

There was also a marked mark on one side of the wall that was almost full. She seemed to draw a line with each passing day.

Once the 1,000th episode went over, it suddenly stopped. The man is believed to have been in the forest for at least several years.

Did it stop displaying after the 1000th episode, or did that man come in while someone else lived there?

Nothing was clearly clarified. However, if you see that the man does not understand his words, you can also make this assumption.

‘Maybe I’ve been here since I was a kid.’

Anyway, it is necessary to check the face properly. His hair and beard are thick, so he doesn’t know what his face is like.

Since they lived in the wild, they probably didn’t feel the need to take care of them. Luna followed her wall and entered deep inside.

The further inside, the more skulls presumed to have been hunted by the man were displayed side by side.

‘Looking at the size of their heads, they all seem to belong to a large group…’

Mankey who smashed his head in an instant and Giant Bear are both unusual.

If he threatened himself and Ellie with that skill, he … I don’t even want to imagine.

Fortunately, he seemed to be recognized as a member of the same race, but we must not lose sight of his tension.

“······· Huh?”

As she followed the wall, she arrived at the deepest part before she knew it. However, there is something strange about the wall illuminated by the glowstone.

The picture is drawn. Although crude, it is certain that it is a painting.

Luna held her glowstone towards the painting with a bewitched expression.

‘This is… Alternative…’

Illuminated with light, the whole picture came into view.

The first picture shows a person living with her family.

She draws a few lines to roughly express that she is a person, but it is clear that she is her family.

She really said that she couldn’t draw, but she didn’t care. It was the story that bothered me more than that.

‘This is obviously a symbol of the United Academy…’

The symbol of United Academy is the star. A circle of numerous stars.

A person who is separated from his family enters what is believed to be the United Academy, and experiences various incidents there.

There are pictures of fighting monsters, and there are also fighting monsters that are assumed to be demons.

Painting is not only about battles.

A picture of someone stabbing a knife in the back, a picture of a person falling on the floor and a person crying while looking up at the sky.

The thing that caught my eye the most was the picture near the end. Luna looked at the mural as if possessed.

A picture of a person ascending into the sky and raising his arms.

It wasn’t enough to raise his arms and even had ‘wings’ on his back.

‘Angel?’

I have no choice but to think of her as an angel who once fought against the devil.

I have no idea what these mean. Instead, I was able to make an analogy.

‘That man’s life? No. If it’s something like that, there must have been writing.’

The entire wall is filled with paintings. There was no such thing as writing.

What the hell is that? Was this painting that filled the entire wall really painted by the man?

Looking at the symbol of the United Academy, the possibility is high. But I don’t know why I drew these pictures.

‘·······No way.’

It was when she was coming up with her ridiculous assumptions.

“Luna? What are you doing there?”

“Suck!”

A familiar voice came from behind. I couldn’t help but be surprised by the unique echo of the cave.

When I hurriedly looked back, Ellie and the wild man were standing side by side.

“Uh… Well… That’s…”

Luna glanced at the wall behind her and she stepped forward. It is for her not to shine a light on the mural.

I don’t know why, but she had a strong hunch that it wouldn’t be right to show the mural.

After that, she calmed down as much as she could and spoke in a slightly trembling voice.

“I was just looking around. Why did you come in all of a sudden?”

“Sivar came in and came in with me.”

“Sivar?”

At the word Shivar, Lunar tilted her head. It’s the first time I’ve heard of it.

“f*ck.”

At that moment, the man spoke as if answering. There is a lot of dissatisfaction.

When Luna heard that answer, she asked Ellie with a puzzled expression.

“Is that Shivar, by any chance, his name?”

“Yeah. I made it. Every time you say it, you say Shivar, right?”

“f*ck.”

“Did you see it?”

A man who answered automatically, no, Shibaru, and Luna was dumbfounded.

It’s not about naming a dog or a cat, it’s about f*cking.

It’s a very catchy and impressive name, but it’s really strange. Especially considering Sivar’s might.

“That… I get it first. Then, can I just call you Sivar?'”

“f*ck.”

Shibare responds with a conditional reflex. It’s the same that it’s absurd, but it seemed to be okay when I reacted.

Luna took one more glance at the wall behind her and then she headed towards them.

“Did you find anything?”

“No. No. There were only monster skulls, stone axes, and stone spears.”

Ellie’s question brought out her lie. Her conscience was pricked, but she felt that she shouldn’t be caught.

Moreover, it could have caused unnecessary confusion, so it’s better not to know at all. Reaching in front of them, she looked at Sivar.

Looking at her like this, she could tell that he was quite large. The muscles trained in the wild are quite impressive.

“Sivar.”

“f*ck.”

“You are… No, no.”

She swallows her words while trying to speak. I can’t understand the words anyway, so it’s a useless question.

Still, it is necessary to deeply understand Sivar. In order to do that, you must be able to communicate.

It’s full of risks and all sorts of mysteries. There are so many things I want to ask about that mural.

“What are you going to do now? Are you going to take me out like this?”

While she was facing Sivar for a while, Eli spoke to her.

At that question, Luna was troubled. I feel like I want to take him out.

But from taking Sivar out of the forest to issues with his treatment.

He’s a wild man who can’t even speak properly. It is difficult to justify it as a person missing from the academy, as it is impossible to check his identity.

A human whose birth is uncertain, let alone ointment. A wild man more savage than a savage. However, force is unbelievably strong.

From Luna’s point of view, it was no different from a walking time bomb. There are many questions, but too many risks.

“No. That would be difficult.”

“Why?”

“What are you going to do by taking that person out?

“Wouldn’t it be possible with the special admission process?”

United Academy has a special admission process. Not formally, but only on special occasions.

There are so many special cases that I can’t pinpoint them. Instead, the special screening itself is simple and straightforward.

At that, Luna frowned her fine brow and opened her mouth in an improbable tone.

“Get a recommendation from the professor?”

“Yes. Sivar’s skills are sufficient.”

What the professor himself recommends. After that, depending on the subject, the test is taken or passed.

United Academy is a thorough meritocracy. So there are very few cases like parachutes.

Even if it’s a parachute, most of them keep their mouth shut because their skills are excellent. Ellie must be saying that.

“It’s possible. As long as you’re good at it.”

“Isn’t it?”

“Instead, it’s ‘only’ skill. Everything else is unqualified, no, it’s just the bottom. Does Shivar have traces of civilization?”

It was a direct statement, but Ellie didn’t say anything. Because she was all right.

A Shivarda with great skills enough to hunt Mankey in an instant. But he is a wild man after all.

If they were of different races, they would be one animal living in the wild. This is an unchanging fact.

Eli knew that and looked at Sivar. Shivar just stood there without saying anything.

After that, she looked at Luna again and said timidly.

“Shouldn’t we teach them? And it’s not like we can’t communicate at all. They gave me bear meat earlier.”

“Bear… What? What meat?”

“Bear meat. I pointed my finger at me and nodded. I’m sure I can convey my intentions.”

The stomach is also good. It was Luna’s idea after hearing Ellie’s words.

Eating bear meat aside from being able to communicate to some extent. It must have been cooked in the wild, so I can’t say it’s hygienic.

Anyway, I need to check. Luna looked at Sivar as she heard her communication slowing down a bit.

She was at a loss when it came to communicating, but just in time there was a good way. In response, she went up to the wall and knocked on it with her hand.

Tuk-tuk-

“Please pay attention here.”

“··· ···”

Luna said that and took out her sword and started writing her words. Her first name is her own name.

“Do you know what this means?”

“······f*cking?”

“That’s your name. Do you know what it means?”

Sivar is standing still. She can’t even read, although she expected.

It is a total crisis because they cannot understand the language and cannot read the text. She won’t even be able to live a proper life, let alone enter school.

‘Oh. f*ck. Really f*cked up?’

On the other hand, Sivar, the wild man, had a similar idea. The impact was so great that it stiffened.

I definitely understand everything they say. Even if I openly gossiped about it, it was true, so I just kept quiet.

But after Luna wrote the words on her wall, she couldn’t help but think she was f*cked.

She couldn’t read at all. I can understand the language, but I can’t read the text.

Strange characters that are neither English nor Korean. Really, all I could think was that it was f*cked up.

‘f*ck your life.’

I was looking forward to going out, but going out is a problem. If I can’t read, where can I live properly?

When they were thinking similar but different thoughts, Luna said to Ellie as if to look at it.

“Did you see it? Even if you pass the special screening, even everyday life is impossible. It must be at the level where you have to play with children, right?”

“······Still, it’s not good to continue living here. Shivar is the one, Luna. That’s the one who saved us.”

Ellie did not give up until the end. She seems to want to get Shivar to the academy somehow.

To be honest, Luna feels the same way. If I hadn’t seen the mural before, I would have just left it here.

However, it can’t be as long as you’re curious about Shivar’s true identity. Had it not been for the wall of reality, she would have gladly accepted.

Luna let out a deep sigh at Ellie’s eyes, which did not give up her will even though she was timid. It’s a complicated situation in many ways.

“I wonder if we can take them in the first place. What if Sivar stays here? Is there any guarantee that he will follow us?”

“That’s it too.”

“Let’s think about this next time. First…”

In the end, it was around the time when my mind focused on holding off on taking Sivar.

Quarreung!

Out of nowhere, thunder echoed throughout the cave. Truly an explosion like thunder.

But the thunder didn’t stop there, the ground shook like an earthquake.

“Kyaaak!”

“What, what?”

Luna and Ellie were greatly embarrassed by the unexpected thunder and earthquake. It’s strange that there’s thunder, but even the ground shakes.

The weather was sunny just a moment ago. Even so that not a single cloud could be seen.

Something unusual happens. It was when Luna intuited it.

Tadat!

“Si, Sivar?”

As if he had a hunch, Sivar ran out of the cave, holding his stone ax firmly.

Ellie hurriedly stopped him, but he was already out of the cave.

Quarreung!!

Once again the sound of thunder. The entire cave shakes, causing small debris to fall from above.

If we continue like this, the cave may collapse. Luna hurriedly called out to Ellie.

“Let’s go out too! If we continue like this, we will collapse!”

“Oh, okay!”

It’s definitely not good to see the ground shaking every time it thunders. This forest has been a place where extraordinary things happen from the beginning.

They then came out of the cave. Apart from the thunder, it was sunny outside.

After frowning at the instantly brightened vision, they were able to spot Shibar.

“Sivar?”

“Kreureung······”

In response to Luna’s call, Sivar remained silent. She only makes beastly noises instead.

He was lowering his stance, holding a stone ax tightly in his left hand. It’s an act that anyone can see is very vigilant.

Then, what is Sivar wary of? Luna and Ellie’s eyes naturally moved to the front of Shivar.

And there was a completely unexpected creature there.

“Squirrel… Mouse? Squirrel right?”

“I think so…”

It was a squirrel. It was big enough to be comparable in size to a large dog, but it was clearly a squirrel.

A squirrel that looks infinitely cute from the outside. The appearance itself was cute, so it was just cute when I took a posture with my shoulders wide open.

But what the squirrel did next wasn’t cute at all. This is a forest of chaos where only the strong survive.

The squirrel glared hard at Sivar, then spread his arms wide.

“Kyaaang!!”

A squirrel that makes really cute noises. The action was very damaging to the heart.

Kwaguawang!!

Because there was a blue lightning bolt right in front of my nose.

It was literally harmful.
