A Wild Man Has Entered the Academy - Chapter 424



423 – Scout (5)

As I said before, I haven’t had a separate conversation with Lee Yeon-ju recently.

Lee Yeon-ju was busy in her own way, and I was busy in my own way. We both had a lot to do.

Especially with the incoming freshmen from the East, Lee Yeon-ju has become very busy. They rarely meet in person.

Moreover, Lee Yeon-ju is mostly active at night due to the nature of her job. She is the type of person who is active at night and feels tired in the morning.

Whether I have classes in the morning or activities at night, I often find myself nodding off during class.

‘Because it’s safe during class.’

Even if you don’t get good grades from your professors, you can still sleep well.

In particular, my older sister, Lee Yeon-hwa’s class was so explicit that I would lie face down and sleep.

Lee Yeon-hwa also knew about Lee Yeon-ju’s circumstances, so she didn’t point anything out. It was close to ignoring her.

‘It wasn’t like that in Soul World. This is also strange.’

Lee Yeon-ju in Soul World is clearly different from now. She sometimes talks to me and asks me to help her with things.

But is it because there are more students from the East enrolled than in the original? Or is it because the academy collapse part was passed without a hitch?

Lee Yeon-ju had little interaction with students. In fact, she was more like a voluntary outcast.

Since his presence was vague to begin with, other students paid little attention to him.

Grace also seemed to be getting closer at first, but then she felt something was strange and didn’t speak to him.

Anyway, in order to easily clear the Touhou episode, I needed to get close to Yeonju Lee, so I was planning on approaching her soon.

“You talk to me.”

“huh?”

Just when that thought occurred to me, Lee Yeon-ju approached me first.

The time I approached was the afternoon autonomous training. Normally, it was the time when I would have been assigned to the assistant position.

But today, they said that it was a class that didn’t require a teaching assistant, so I was given some independent training.

So, at the moment when I was about to do some fighting training, Lee Yeon-ju approached me. Very secretly.

I stared blankly at Lee Yeon-ju, who was looking around, and then quietly opened my mouth.

“Ask me on a date?”

“no!”

Lee Yeon-ju shouted out loud, perhaps because the story was so unexpected. Her voice was loud, unlike her small body.

Moreover, since we were in the auditorium, her screams echoed.

What this means is that Lee Yeon-ju’s scream echoed and instantly attracted everyone’s attention.

“··· ···”

“··· ···”

As attention focused on her, Lee Yeon-ju began to roll her eyes and look around.

Fortunately, the students started doing their own things soon after. It seems like they got over it.

At that time, Kara and Luna were in the training room, and Grace was also away conducting a magic experiment.

If it had been someone else, they wouldn’t have played this prank.

“Huh······ Don’t joke around. I was trying to have a serious conversation.”

“Because of the letter from the East?”

“As expected, you’re quick-witted. Let’s move for a bit.”

Lee Yeon-ju looked around and asked me a favor. I followed her without thinking.

Anyway, I’m going to just talk briefly and end it. The real talk will be at night or in the early morning.

Following Lee Yeon-ju, we arrive at a deserted hallway. It’s the perfect place to plot a plot.

“Do you still have that letter?”

“To the accommodation.”

“Do you know who sent it?”

“There are many suspicious parts.”

Lee Yeon-ju is an ally. Unless she betrays me first, she will continue to perform well as an ally.

He is a fundamentalist who believes that something must come before something can go. He is the type of person who trusts only when a contract is made with each other.

So since I gave the information first, Lee Yeon-ju will also bring up what she knows.

“Suspicious part? Oh, right. It’s a bit strange to send such a letter in this situation.”

“You know too?”

“Roughly. How far did that woman infer it?”

That woman must mean Dan Ye-rin. I don’t know about other people, but I thought you would keep in touch with Dan Ye-rin.

I decided to connect these two rather than just saying the question out loud. The exchange must be constant.

“Ask him yourself. I’m not good at explaining.”

“Well, that could be true. Anyway, thanks for your answer. Is there any information you’d like? I’ll answer to the best of my knowledge.”

“hmm······”

I don’t know if I really need that information. To be honest, the information I know is more valuable than the information Lee Yeon-ju knows.

Even if the future is twisted, would it be more valuable than my information that knows the inside story of the royal family?

Moreover, the war in the East is already a planned event. Even if the process is different, the result is the same.

‘I should ask what he’s doing these days.’

For now, this is the best. What kind of activities is Lee Yeon-ju doing?

Since we are already one step into the complex politics of the East, I will answer you with all my heart.

“What have you been up to these days?”

“Well, I’m always the same. I just check with the first-years and see if there are any rumors.”

“Aren’t there any rumors?”

“I only heard rumors that the prince was going wild. You don’t know, but he’s always been like that.”

I know. The Prince of the East really likes to dance with swords.

The more purges he commits, the more paranoid he becomes. He won’t be able to trust anyone anymore.

‘Unlucky Stalin, huh?’

Stalin, who failed to properly seize power. On the other hand, Karas was a lucky Stalin.

Above all, Karas was chosen by Chaos, while the Prince was not.

Just by looking at this, you can roughly guess how much of a mess the prince is.

“Other than that······ Is it just that there are strange rumors going around among the first-years?”

“Among the first-years?”

“Yeah. Do you know about the parent observation class?”

“?”

I tilted my head. This was the first time I heard that story. I had never even heard it in Soul World.

In the first place, the idea that the academy has parent observation classes is ridiculous.

‘Isn’t that too blatant a restraint?’

It can go beyond a simple kids’ fight, because it means that the parents are the heads of the family.

If we’re not careful, it could easily turn into a mud fight. I can already see Professor Dis grabbing the back of my neck.

“It’s just a rumor, but I’ve heard such a story. I wonder if the Academy will allow it though.”

“Isn’t that an accident?”

“So the president is watching you personally? To tell you not to do anything in vain.”

“··· ···”

Well, it would be different if Lord was watching closely. I could understand that.

By the way, this isn’t an elementary school, and it’s a parent-observation class. It’s going in a completely unexpected direction.

I also have a question. Will I actually be working as an assistant at that time? Normally, I shouldn’t be doing that.

If you work as an assistant, it seems like a bad situation will unfold in many ways.

‘I feel uneasy.’

Although I was anxious, there was something I was worried about. That was the sparks flying towards Reina.

From Reina’s perspective, it’s more of an annoying situation than just suffocating.

Because of the political conflicts in distant countries, I have to be careful. The picture has already been drawn.

“······Hey?”

In the end, I had no choice but to be honest. Then, Yeonju Lee’s eyes widened.

Lee Yeon-ju then bursts out laughing. It seems like what I said was funny.

“When you say something like that… it feels a bit strange. When the person who is the most childish calls someone a child.”

“You say I’m like a child?”

“That’s right. He causes weird accidents every day. The moment you open your eyes, he goes to weird places. He’s just like a kid, isn’t he?”

It’s sad that I can’t refute it. But I can’t just let it go.

Unlike other people, Lee Yeon-ju had a strong teasing tone. I also wanted to fight back.

“You’re like a kid too.”

“Where are you looking?”

I didn’t want to say this, but I can’t help it.

I looked Yeonju Lee’s body up and down and spoke honestly.

“The body.”

“hey!!!”

I silently covered my ears at Lee Yeon-ju’s scream. Despite her small stature, her voice was loud.

I glanced at Lee Yeon-ju with my ears covered. Her face was bright red and her body was shaking.

It looks like he feels ashamed because he clenches his small hands tightly. Who would say he looks like a child?

“That’s right. A body like a child.”

“You, you, you······! Do you know that’s teasing?!”

“I don’t know. I just told the truth.”

“Eeeeek!”

She trembled as if she couldn’t argue. She even stomped her feet as if she was angry.

Why does it feel like that figure is like a rabbit? Actually, rabbits also stomp their feet when they get angry.

I thought the conversation would end like this, but there was something I hadn’t considered: Lee Yeon-ju’s personality.

“What if it doesn’t seem like a child?”

“huh?”

“If you weren’t a kid? What would you do?”

Lee Yeon-ju is a person who hates losing very much. This is the opposite of her usual weak-mannered acting.

I looked at Lee Yeon-ju, who was blushing but glaring confidently. It was quite embarrassing.

“······what?”

“If my body doesn’t look like a child’s, will you do me a favor?”

“Uh······ No? Now that I look at it, you’re mature.”

“I can’t believe it. Follow me.”

What do you want me to do? I watched blankly.

At my reaction, Lee Yeon-ju shouted urgently with an expression that still seemed angry.

“Follow me, I’ll show you my body!”

“··· ···”

Oh my goodness. What kind of childish mindset is this?

I had to sweat profusely trying to stop her.

Fortunately, the situation calmed down after hearing an apology from my mouth, but Lee Yeon-ju’s bright red face did not subside.

“Huh, huh! From now on, just say something like that. Just······”

“just?”

“You, you’ll have to authenticate yourself too!”

What are you trying to certify, you woman? I watched from afar as Lee Yeon-ju stomped away.

He has a choleric personality in many ways, including the incident a year ago.

‘No. Rather than saying he’s choleric, should I say he’s a kid?’

Since he is as pure as a child, he must have patriotism deep in his heart.

I shook my head and walked in the opposite direction from where Lee Yeon-ju had left.

And by the time I reached the corner of the hallway, I couldn’t help but flinch.

“Sniff sniff. Sniff.”

It’s a familiar scent. I’m sensitive to smells because I lived in the wild.

And I know that smell coming from the corner of the hallway.

The sour smell characteristic of sweat and the strong body odor that comes with it.

I sniffed and looked at the floor. There on the floor lay a single strand of hair that looked like it was woven with gold thread.

‘Was Luna here?’

Why were you here?

*****

Meanwhile, at that time, Luna.

‘Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god······!’

He was heading somewhere with an expression that said he couldn’t believe it at all.

It was a quick pace, but even that was incredibly fast.

‘Sivarga Yeonju-ssi?! Since when?’

A dizzying illusion took hold in Luna’s mind.

And as if to prove it.

[Faith rises!]

A message appeared in her field of vision.

‘also!’

Luna couldn’t help but feel more confident after seeing that message.
