A Wild Man Has Entered the Academy - Chapter 433



432 – Information (1)

Information is a very important resource regardless of the era.

If you get ahead of others, you can gain an advantageous position and turn the tide of the battle.

Intelligence is of utmost importance during wartime, especially when it is often used as a weapon.

The moment information leaks out, it’s almost a given that a unit will be annihilated.

Even information that seems unimportant can be subject to differing interpretations.

For example, let’s say I have obtained information about the other party’s supplies.

With this one piece of information, you can tell how many enemies there are, where their supply routes are, how many days they come, etc.

You can get a lot of facts from a single piece of information. It’s subjective, but information is information.

Preempting information like this is a very important task, and there are even professions that specialize in this.

A spy or espionage. A person who infiltrates the opposing camp to gather information or, conversely, to defend it.

Most spies hide in the shadows and often do not have the protection of the state.

This is because, regardless of time and place, secretly gathering information is considered a ‘dirty and deadly’ act.

It’s disgusting to even think that someone is spying on me, let alone information from a country? Torture is legal.

Perhaps because of this, there is even a joke that the most important thing for a spy is the ability to escape.

However, it is difficult to dismiss it as just nonsense, as a lot of time and capital is invested in breeding.

Enemy countries also know this, so when they get enough information, they usually demand a ransom.

The reason I am saying this is because the practical training we will be doing this time is closely related to ‘information.’

“Your mission is to be a spy or counterintelligence agent. You are absolutely not permitted to go directly to the front lines. Please understand this.”

Dis gave Kara and me some instructions that were almost like a request. I nodded after hearing the order.

The practical training we’re going to do this time is, as I said earlier, information warfare. Like the theme, it also has some rather complicated rules.

Splitting into two teams and having those teams fight each other is normal. The important thing is the spy.

There are three spies planted in each team, and this was announced in advance by the professor.

I didn’t tell the students that there was a spy there, but at some point they will realize it.

The most important information was hidden in the ‘operations and counterintelligence’ that Dis had first mentioned.

‘Will this reduce the number of gazes coming at me?’

However, direct activity is almost impossible for spies because it is too obvious.

So Kara and I get information and carry out operations or counterintelligence.

A spy can inform his team that there is a spy there, but it is difficult.

The space where the training was to take place was quite large, so even disappearing for a moment would raise suspicion.

“Then where are we waiting?”

“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of that. I keep telling you, but you’re not allowed to move without the agents’ instructions.”

This is a diss that I have repeatedly asked you to do in case you do something weird.

It was a method that was close to being a joke, but I actually liked it because I didn’t have to use my head.

But I’m not without my concerns. I raised my hand slightly and got Dis’s attention.

When I asked him a question, Dis gave me a puzzled look and then nodded his head for a moment.

“Do you have any questions?”

“yes.”

This lab is similar to the ‘communication’ theme that our class had before.

Each region has an occupied area and can communicate with each other through communication beads.

The difference is that we didn’t have spies, but this class did. And one more thing.

“Could you tell me the location of the command center?”

This is when the spy revealed the location of the command center from the beginning. This is a little worrying.

If this happens, I ‘have no choice’ but to head to the headquarters and carry out the operation.

Since carrying out a plot is in line with ‘assassination’, the game can explode from the start.

“That’s a good question.”

Dis smiled with satisfaction after hearing my question. It seemed like he had expected it.

He then went on to detail the ‘security’ of the headquarters.

“The command center has a powerful security spell installed. If you get caught in that spell, it means immediate failure. It could even instill suspicion and alertness in the opponent.”

“It sounds like you should just try it if you want.”

“That’s correct.”

Dis nodded at Kara’s brief explanation. As expected, there was something prepared.

I’m good at physical work, but I’m not sure about breaking through security magic.

I don’t know about anything else, but I’m almost a layman when it comes to magic. Each and every spell is too powerful.

Unless I completely destroy the headquarters, it would be difficult for me to break through the security magic.

“If you can break through the security spell and succeed in your mission, I’ll give you high marks. But I promise you, it’s going to be really hard.”

“It’s not like there’s no way at all, right?”

“There are many ways. But if a spy comes and goes from the headquarters, suspicion will arise.”

It seems easy, but it’s a difficult exercise. I heard that the score depends quite a bit on it.

It’s convenient for Kara and I to just move according to the information, but the spy’s head will explode.

Especially from the moment they realize the existence of the spy, there will be internal strife within each team.

It is certain that the real battle of wits will begin from the second day.

“The key is to detect the presence of spies. But isn’t there something a little strange?”

“What are you talking about?”

“A spy whose existence is unknown even to his own team. Doesn’t that make sense?”

Kara asked with a question. She must have been curious, having experienced the Tribal Unification War.

Rather than training them directly, they would have planted spies by capturing prisoners and persuading them.

To that question, Dis nodded as if he agreed and then gave a reasonable explanation.

“There is an organization in the world that only the most powerful people know about. You can think of it as something similar to that.”

“hmm······”

“This will be of great help to you too.”

Kara nodded in agreement at the sincere words of diss.

Now that the explanation is over, Kara and I walked towards the designated location.

The practice room was quite large, like the communications practice I had done before, and it took quite a bit of time.

‘I just need to help Team 1… I need to find out who the spy is in Team 2.’

The method to detect a spy is simple: first, wait quietly at a designated location.

Wait until a spy from the same team comes and tells you the password. This itself is easy.

Even if a team that doesn’t know anything comes in the middle, there’s no problem. Just pretend not to know and ignore them. That’s the end of it.

“Huh? Why are you here, senior?”

“Safety issues.”

“Safety issues?”

Just like right now. The first person I met happened to be Reina.

She blinked and looked at me as if she knew nothing.

It wasn’t just her, it was the same for everyone else. It seemed like they were divided into teams.

“Why is the assistant teacher here? Is something wrong?”

“Well? You’ll know when you see it. You’re not doing anything, right?”

The other juniors also showed no particular interest, but only expressed doubts about my sudden appearance.

Now I’m close to the NPC standing in front of the tree. I’ll just watch and that’s it.

-Quaqua light!

“Kuuuk······! Guard the rear ranks! Keep an eye on the opposing magician!”

“Team Leader! I think we should retreat!”

“Retreat! Retreat!”

Even when conflicts broke out between students, he just watched and did nothing.

The students were anxious about whether I would step forward, but that didn’t last long.

In order not to lose the occupied territory that we had worked so hard to gain, we fought fiercely to take it back by any means necessary.

“Cough! Cough! Ugh.”

The one who stood up in the midst of the fierce battle was Reina. It was as expected.

Reina has superior martial arts skills compared to the other students. It’s only natural that she would win.

Moreover, since he possessed exceptional talent, his growth became more noticeable as the days went by.

‘I wish I could just master the common language.’

There’s a long way to go. That’s what I was thinking.

Reina looked around and approached me cautiously. Her expression seemed a little nervous.

I was skeptical at first when I saw it, but soon I started to think, “No way.”

‘Oh. Please.’

Everything is good, but I wish you would tolerate the fact that Reina is a spy.

I don’t use my brain because it’s annoying, but Reina really doesn’t use her brain.

Moreover, there are quite a few things that are lacking in order to play the role of a spy. First of all, his ability to speak the common language is lacking.

Before I knew it, Reina had confidently approached me, unaware of my feelings.

And after looking around again, he said in a trembling voice.

“You are such a worthless person.”

“··· ···”

Reina took out the ‘code’ she had received from Dis. However, something unexpected happened here.

As I said before, Reina’s English skills aren’t that great.

Even though I practice every week, it’s difficult to make up for what I lack in a short period of time.

‘······Wrong.’

The ciphertext that Reina pulled out was wrong. The ciphertext was, “You are a really cool guy.”

Even though the subject and object are similar, what’s wrong is wrong. In the end, I couldn’t react at all.

“Ah. Isn’t this it? You’re a really strong being?”

“··· ···”

“Ha, sir. What should I say? I heard it clearly.”

Already, worries are starting to build up.

Will Reina be able to carry out her work of secret service and counterintelligence successfully?

And what would Oscar be thinking as he watches this in real time?

‘······Should I just give it a proper nod?’

It was when I was worrying about such things inside.

Eventually, Reina, feeling frustrated, spoke in Frozen, not the common language.

“You are a really cool guy!”

“··· ···”

“Is this correct?”

“Make it a common language.”

“Oh, please!”

What can’t be done, can’t be done.

*****

Meanwhile, at a similar time.

The broadcasting room where professors originally watched. The broadcasting room was filled with parents.

Are your children doing well? Are other students doing something strange?

Although I was mostly observing with my eagle eyes, it was surprisingly quiet.

It’s not like it was an imminent situation or anything. More than anything, it was because there was a secure breakwater.

“I······ President?”

“Huh? Why is that?”

“Do you feel any inconvenience?”

“There isn’t any? And since I can’t see it, go away.”

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry!”

Even a person who can fly and crawl had no choice but to stand still in front of the Black Sword.
