A Wild Man Has Entered the Academy - Chapter 428
427 – Parents’ Observation (1)
I was able to get some interesting news through the information that Lee Yeon-ju provided.
There is news that first graders will soon have parent observation classes. It is surprising, if not unexpected.
However, when looking back at the history of the Academy, it is not that there is no parental involvement at all. In fact, there is quite a bit of it.
Unlike now, when there was no political pressure or political instability, it often happened in the so-called times of peace.
It was a bit like a social gathering. Even if there were some restraints, they weren’t that severe.
Therefore, in this situation, parental observation is a very dangerous position that can easily cause conflict.
It wasn’t for nothing that Lord was watching directly for surveillance. It was something he couldn’t do in front of the swordsman.
“Senior Shibar! Is that true?”
“what?”
It was around the time when rumors about parental observation were starting to spread.
A peaceful weekend as usual. Reina, who came to study and treat dyslexia, asked a question.
Her eyes, which were originally bright blue, looked even brighter today.
“I sparred with the King of Destruction and fought to a standstill!”
“Ah. That?”
“What did Miss Reina say?”
Grace, who was teaching along with me, asked a question.
It’s natural for her to ask such a question, since she doesn’t know Frozen very well, unlike me.
After translating it into the common language, he answered Reina’s question.
“Maybe? If you do well, you win.”
“You’re not bragging, are you?”
“I don’t lie.”
Even if he lied about other things, he never lied during a match.
Moreover, Hector fought twice and won both times. Especially in the first fight, he was struck first.
Reina looked at me with her bright eyes and smiled. It was a smile full of triumph.
“How strong were you? I’m no match for you, right?”
“huh.”
If we fight properly, we won’t be defeated within 5 seconds. Reina has already been beaten up by Kara.
But since he’s someone who enjoys fighting strong people, he probably won’t mind.
Even now, when I point out facts, instead of getting angry, doesn’t Reina just smile brightly? That’s just how Reina is.
“When will I be able to become as strong as you, senior?”
“Won’t it be hard? And speak in common language. Grace won’t understand.”
It’s okay to ask questions. As long as it’s not weird, there’s a trick to answering them sincerely.
However, if you do it in Frozen, there is no reason to study. Even if it is uncomfortable, it is essential to answer in the common language.
Moreover, since I was receiving help from Grace, it could have been rude beyond rude.
“Yes, I understand. It’s hard, but I’ll try. I’ll do my best.”
“Okay. Oh, right. I have something to ask you.”
“What is that?”
“Parent observation.”
Reina blinked as the words parent observation came out of my mouth.
And after rolling his sky-blue eyes around for a while, he spoke in an uncertain voice.
“······There was something like that?”
“Haven’t you heard the rumors? Grace, did you hear them too?”
“Yes. I heard that story. It’s about parents of first-year students observing classes.”
Even with Grace involved, Reina still blinked. It seemed like she didn’t understand English.
A pure and innocent expression, as if he had heard nothing. That expression made me question it.
“You really haven’t heard anything?”
“yes.”
“To your classmates too?”
“I don’t have any friends.”
“··· ···”
I feel bad for touching a sore spot. Final exams are almost over and I don’t have a single friend.
But the question remains the same. The rumor must have started when a first-year professor told his students about it.
It doesn’t make sense that Reina doesn’t know. I tilted my head.
‘Has it not been delivered yet? Or what?’
As I was gathering my thoughts, Reina belatedly realized something and let out a small exclamation, “Ah.”
After thinking deeply, he opened his mouth as if he had heard something.
“Come to think of it. The professor said that special guests are coming. Come to your senses.”
“It’s probably my parents.”
Even though I spoke briefly, I understood everything. It felt strangely familiar, like seeing my old self.
Reina tilted her head after hearing me, then spoke in a questioning voice.
“Parents? Why? Academy tradition?”
“It’s not a tradition. It’s just······the circumstances are complicated in many ways.”
Grace was beating around the bush. She probably thought Reina would be uncomfortable with the idea of being overtly political.
But she doesn’t know Reina well yet. She probably doesn’t care much since her head is a flower garden in another sense.
A type that values individual relationships more than great powers. This means that he is a person who is far from politics.
“Really? My parents. Will they come?”
“You didn’t get a letter or anything?”
“Yes. He probably won’t come. It’s hard.”
But he is a kind-hearted person. Even in Soul World, didn’t he swallow his pain inside when he was ostracized?
Although the wound grew so much that I dropped out, it’s not like that anymore. It’s just a little bitter.
Reina grew up receiving a lot of love without any flaws. She also developed consideration.
“What kind of people are Reina’s parents?”
“He’s kind. He’s gentle. I like them both.”
Look at that. The way his face brightens as soon as the topic of his parents comes up.
Anyone can see that it is the expression of a daughter who grew up eating love. In Frozen, most people are kind in inverse proportion to the harsh weather.
Even though he is blunt and has a cold smile, the warmth that comes from his actions cannot be hidden.
Due to her influence, Reina was able to grow into a brighter person than anyone else.
“······I’m jealous.”
Grace muttered softly. It was a sincere mutter.
Her parents are not exactly great people, to say the least. Her mother is okay, but her father has a lot of problems.
‘I am what······’
There used to be one, but now it’s gone. They were really good people. It was the happiest family because it was ordinary.
People who cared for me without any lack of material wealth, but who I can no longer meet.
Why on earth did I have to be forcibly robbed of those happy times? Who on earth sent me back here?
Why on earth did they prevent me from ever meeting them? They didn’t need anything, that was enough.
Why on earth?
“······seed.”
“··· ···”
“Mr. Shivar?”
“Uh, yeah?”
I suddenly raised my head at the sound of a voice piercing into my ear. I guess I was lost in thought because we were talking about my parents.
Then I looked around and saw Grace and Reina looking at me with puzzled expressions.
“What were you thinking about?”
“······I was just blankly staring.”
“I don’t think so······”
-Knock knock knock
As Grace was muttering doubtfully, someone knocked on the door.
When everyone’s eyes turned in that direction, a familiar voice was heard from beyond the door.
[Shivar. Are you inside?]
It’s Ellie’s voice. I got up from my seat as soon as I heard her voice.
I was curious about Ellie’s purpose in coming to me to ease the awkward atmosphere.
-Squeak
As soon as I opened the door, Ellie’s pretty face and large mound caught my eye.
It wasn’t that the chest caught my eye after the face, but I just took it all in at a glance.
I hesitated for a moment about where to look and say something, then looked straight at her and said.
“Why? What’s going on?”
“Yeah. The president called me for a moment. He has something to tell me.”
“okay?”
“Yeah. You two are going to do it? Can I stay here for a bit?”
I don’t care, but Grace and I have someone inside, Reina, who we don’t know.
When I turned around and nodded, Grace nodded. So did Reina.
Ellie seems to have decided that there won’t be a problem since she gets along well with everyone, even people she meets for the first time.
‘It’s definitely because Ellie has a good personality.’
Even if Reina’s speech is strange, she is the type of person who would just say, “She’s unique.”
After giving permission, Ellie apologized and went inside.
“Huh? Who are you? You’re pretty.”
“Oh, hello! I’m Reina! I’m from Frozen!”
“That’s an interesting way of speaking. My name is Ellie. Are you a nobleman?”
It looks like you’re doing well. I closed the door and walked into Lord’s office.
I had a rough idea why he wanted to see me. It was probably because of the upcoming parent-teacher conference.
It’s just a parent observation, but there’s a good chance that I’m included. Aren’t I a student with a lot of rumors going around?
Moreover, since he was also a teaching assistant in the class he was observing, he was in a position where he could not help but be interested. It is understandable why Lord is worried.
‘This is why I hate politics.’
My head hurts and I hate it. But I still plan to stick to the most basic of basics.
Dan Ye-rin told me that the most basic of basics in politics is not to make enemies.
When you make an enemy, it’s a headache because you have to think about what that enemy will do.
‘Even if the Dongnara episode ends, it will be difficult to be free.’
I arrived at Lord’s residence with complicated thoughts in my head.
However, I couldn’t feel any movement inside, so it seems to be in the backyard.
Just as I was starting to wonder what they were doing in the backyard, I heard a very small sound in my ear.
[That’s right! That’s how I am!]
[Tsk! Tsk!]
[Just a little more balance. Very good! Can you fly higher than this······ Huh?]
-Flutter! Flutter!
Even though it was small, it was still a sound. As soon as I heard the sound that was piercing to my ears, I took a couple of steps back from the door.
Eventually, instead of going through the door, I jumped up slightly and went up to the roof.
It was just my gut feeling, but I thought it would be better to climb up onto the roof than to open the door.
-Flap! Flap!
“Oh, oh! It’s flying high! It’s already roof level!”
“Tsk! Tsk!”
“You’re happy too. Hahaha!”
Hmm. What am I seeing right now? Is this a dream or reality?
A Pidgeon flying precariously high up to the roof. And a lord riding on top of it.
As Pidgeon flapped his wings vigorously, an immense pleasure appeared on Lord’s face.
It’s not the usual gentle smile of Lord, but the face of an ordinary, ordinary man. It’s filled with happiness that’s close to 100% pure.
“Well done······!”
“··· ···”
Did he never think I’d be on the roof? Lord and I looked at each other.
It was such an unbelievable sight that I couldn’t help but rub my eyes. Am I seeing things?
Then, when I took my hands off my eyes, Lord’s figure had disappeared without a trace. Instead, a sound was heard from under the roof.
[Shivar. Come down from the roof. Why are you there?]
It was Lord’s voice. A polite yet stern voice.
I came down from the roof and opened the door with my heart full of questions.
When I opened the door, Lord was sitting on the sofa, drinking tea. Next to him, Pidgeon was also eating Moi.
“······grandfather?”
“Why are you calling?”
“hmm······”
I must have seen something wrong. I went inside with doubts.
Looking at the road’s clean exterior, it didn’t seem like anything had happened.
Except that Pidgeon’s fur was strangely matted.
Anyway, I must have seen it wrong. That’s what I thought.
“No. Because you called me.”
“Yes. Can you sit down for a moment?”
“yes.”
You were wrong. That’s what you should think.
“This is about parental observation. What I would like to ask you is······”
“··· ···”
“Are you concentrating?”
“yes.”
I have to pretend I didn’t see it.
From noble mtl dot com
“I’ll be by your side, but no joking around. The moment you do, I’ll punish you severely, so know that.”
“yes.”
“Tell me what I just said.”
“uh······”
The feather of a pied terrestrial bird resting on the head of a lord.
“Aren’t you kidding me?”
“Hmm. I guess I heard you right.”
I desperately pretended not to know.
[Faith rises!]
Watch your step, you b*stard.
