A Wild Man Has Entered the Academy - Chapter 416



415 – Return (2)

A forest of chaos where the food chain structure was once destroyed and the forest literally experienced ‘chaos’.

The Forest of Chaos gradually became stable over time, and squirrels became so numerous that certain areas came to be called ‘Squirrel Forest’.

It was especially popular with non-combatants, as it was home to an abundance of cute squirrels and few dangerous beasts.

Of course, there were rumors, not rumors, that a squirrel spirit lived in that forest, but at some point these were quietly buried.

Anyway, the outskirts of the Forest of Chaos have become peaceful and students can now come and go freely.

However, the inside of the Forest of Chaos still had a murderous atmosphere. It was a world where one mistake could cost one’s life.

In particular, recent research shows that the territories have been divided as new predators have emerged.

They grew stronger day by day as they fought over territory, and there was no one who could stand against them, at least not other predators.

“Crunch.”

One of the beings dividing the interior of the Forest of Chaos into four, the lion, let out a long breath.

As a predator that controls part of the interior of the Forest of Chaos, its size was also extraordinary.

Because it was bigger than a house. As time passed, its size also increased day by day.

Is it just the size of a silkworm? Even its claws, which can tear anyone apart, have become sharper as the days go by.

A single swing of the claws would be enough to tear most animals to shreds. There was no need to exert any force.

“Kuuu······”

Perhaps aware of its own strength, the lion even yawned to show its composure.

The teeth that were exposed while yawning were also quite threatening. The moment you bite them, you will say goodbye to this world.

Not only the silk lion, but also the predators in charge of other areas are the same. Each has its own strengths and weaknesses.

Since the pros and cons were mutually exclusive, they only divided the areas, but it could not be called a peace agreement.

If you show any weakness, your head will be cut off immediately. The predator can become the prey.

-Scratch. Scratch.

Of course, that’s just a guess. The lion scratched its body with its hind legs and made a happy expression.

From the moment he reached the top of the Forest of Chaos, no one dared attack the lion.

Other predators also did not pounce recklessly because they were concerned about their own safety.

That’s why I was able to slowly build up my strength by eating the animals of the Chaos Forest, which were full of nutrients and magical power.

-rustle

“Krung?”

At that moment, the lion heard the sound of the bushes. As soon as the lion heard the sound, he went into a state of alert.

Even though it is a predator’s location, the wild is a place where if you are not careful, you can end up in trouble. You can never let your guard down.

-Rust. Rustle.

The sound of the bushes swaying was heard again and again. The lion slowly raised his body.

As I raised my body, I could feel the mountain-like figure. If I looked at it from the front, I would freeze.

The lion waited silently until someone emerged from the bushes, wondering what kind of prey would come this time.

The being that came out, making a sound on purpose, was······

“Hmm? Ah. I found it.”

“?”

It was a human with brown skin. The lion was suspicious after being wary.

It is very rare for humans to come inside the Forest of Chaos. Even if they do, they quickly leave.

Long ago, a few months ago, a hairy human set foot in the Forest of Chaos.

And he brought about great chaos and treated the lions like slaves. The memory was still vivid.

‘······?’

Why did that memory suddenly come to mind? The lion, true to his instincts, couldn’t understand.

In fact, the memory came to mind because I was faithful to my instincts, but unfortunately, the speed at which I perceived it was extremely slow.

“I’ll only be here for three days. Give me something to eat.”

The lion is smart, so he could understand what the man was saying.

It was closer to understanding the intention than understanding the language.

It’s like hearing an animal’s growl and figuring out what the other person is thinking.

“······?”

The lion tilted his head. It was a voice he had heard somewhere before.

Animals are true to their instincts. And their instincts are screaming.

Bring food to that human right now, or it’s dangerous.

Instinct was telling me so, but reason was still hoping for understanding.

This means that it is gradually evolving into a spirit, even if it is very little by little. Naturally, it is unreasonable to expect it to reach the level of Porori.

“Hey. Didn’t you hear what I said? I want some food.”

“Krrrrrr······!”

When the cub said, “Let’s see,” the lion growled at the human’s command.

Then, it moved its large feet and slowly approached the human. It was full now and did not need to eat anything.

But we can make an example of this filthy human being. We can do that by striking him with our claws, not our teeth.

As soon as he approached, his sharp teeth bared, the lion was visible.

The eyes of a human being who appears indifferent. The red eyes that shine brightly.

“?!”

Only then did the lion recognize the human. It was only later that it realized why its instincts had sounded the alarm of danger.

Moreover, this smell. This unique smell is the scent that only that human exudes. I can never forget it.

At this, the lion took a step back hesitantly. He had a look on his face as if he was wondering why you were here.

“I just realized it now.”

A human with copper skin who was once a predator in the Forest of Chaos.

Shivar nodded, satisfied, as if he was a thug who was now invading other people’s territory and threatening them.

Even though his appearance changed, his voice, his eyes, and his scent remained the same. That’s why the lion recognized him, even if it took some time.

‘You’ve grown a lot since then. Are the others like that too?’

Shivar observed the lion slowly backing away. It had certainly grown in size since last time.

When you enter the Forest of Chaos, most animals tend to grow in size. It’s convenient to think of Porori.

“Krrrrrr······!”

While I was thinking about something else for a moment, the lion stopped backing down. Judging by the ferocious growl, it seemed ready to pounce at any moment.

Shivar opened one eye at the sight.

‘Is it possible that this guy has grown a bit in size?’

That’s right. In fact, lions have such feelings.

Unlike before, it has grown in size and its claws have become sharper. There is no need to be afraid of mere humans.

Shivardo also smirked as if he had read the lion’s mind. Then he waved his hand as if to tell him to come over.

An obvious provocation. The lion had no intention of letting that provocation go easily.

“Kuaaahhh!!!”

A lion with a huge body charged fiercely.

Every time you jump, the earth shakes and you feel the pressure of a large mountain approaching.

Soon the lion came up to Shivarko and raised its forelegs to swing their sharp claws.

If he puts his front paw down like this, that evil(?) human will split into several groups.

-Swoosh

But that didn’t happen, because just before the lion swung its claws, Shivar moved forward.

Naturally, the claws cut through the empty space. The lion searched for Shivar in a situation where time seemed to pass slowly.

The lion did not realize that it was too late. When he realized it too late······

-Snap!

It was when Shivar dug in and struck his stomach hard with his fist.

I hit him as lightly as possible so as not to damage his organs, but I hit the sore spot hard.

“Keeeeeeeeee!!!”

The poor lion’s roar echoed throughout the Forest of Chaos.

Something more than just a thug has arrived in the Forest of Chaos.

*****

It’s already been three days since I was stuck in the lion’s territory. As the three days passed, my body also returned to normal.

It was more of a strange feeling than a surprise when my skin changed from a copper color to a pale color.

This couldn’t be explained by simply saying that he had ridden it. He had literally just ‘adapted’ to it.

‘What on earth is this body? How is it made?’

I know I’m a descendant of the devil, but I’m not sure exactly whose descendant I am.

A descendant born of a demon who cannot have offspring. This alone would be amazing, but his body was even more amazing.

A body that adapts perfectly to any environment it goes to. Even a chameleon wouldn’t be able to do this.

No. Are there any animals that can adapt to their environment immediately?

‘I heard that even the Galapagos are hundreds of years old.’

It took less than a week to get used to the Galapagos and Naval, so I even felt a sense of alienation.

I wonder if it will change similarly when I go to the East in the future. I don’t know if it only changes in extreme environments.

‘I guess I should start heading back now.’

My skin color has returned to normal, so I think I can go back.

I don’t know if it’s vacation, but I have class tomorrow, so I have to go back.

Even if it was vacation, Lord could have come to pick me up like last time.

Rather than being dragged away by the ears, I would rather go out on my own two feet.

“Tchcha.”

I jumped up from my seat. The softness on my back was gone.

I looked back and saw a lion sitting in a slightly stiff posture. Thankfully(?), it was the one who had become my backrest.

A guy who was hit hard in the stomach a few days ago and became very docile. There is no predator as easy to handle as a lion.

“I’m going to go now. Take care.”

“Crung!”

The lion’s head turned towards me as if it understood what I said. Its eyes were sparkling, and it looked very expectant.

Is it true? Are you really going? Please go. That’s exactly what it feels like.

I would have liked to stay one more day, but unfortunately I have to because of class.

I don’t know about anything else, but I plan to listen to the class diligently. If I don’t, Lord will scold me and there’s nothing I can do.

“Hello. Thank you for your time.”

“Khuung!”

Get out of here. Please don’t come back again.

Even if you come, go find someone else, not me. I can’t suffer alone.

It was a roar with that kind of intention. I didn’t even do anything like that, so isn’t that too much?

All I did was make you hunt for me. I threatened to eat you if you didn’t want to hunt.

‘What will happen next?’

I don’t know. I walked in the direction indicated by the special compass.

As time passed, I was able to reach the outskirts of the Forest of Chaos. Now that I was on the outskirts, I could go without a compass.

Finding the way wasn’t difficult, especially since you could see the Academy Monument from the outskirts.

‘What classes are you going to take next?’

Aside from working as a teaching assistant, I’m curious about the class content. I guess they’ll tell me the final exam content soon.

From noble mtl dot com

After the final exams, vacation will come, and I plan to learn the language of the Huan Empire during vacation.

‘Until then, I have to learn Frozen first.’

As I was walking with that thought in mind, I arrived at the entrance before I knew it.

I guess I came back at the right time since Lord didn’t wait. Fortunately, I don’t think I’ll get in trouble.

‘But I guess I should report it anyway.’

I immediately started walking towards Lord’s house. When I was almost there,

“Brother Shivar?”

A familiar voice came into my ears. The tone was calm yet strong.

As soon as I heard that voice, I turned my head. Then, as soon as I saw the owner, a smile appeared on my face.

“Lize?”

“It’s been a while. It’s really nice to see you.”

The Saintess of Chaos, Lize, smiled gently.

“Have you been quiet and not causing any trouble all this time?”

“uh······”
