A Wild Man Has Entered the Academy - Chapter 436



435 – Parents (1)

The internship ended in a really futile manner. It hadn’t even been three hours since it started.

This is the result of me going beyond completely destroying the command center and turning it into a ghost base.

If you can completely neutralize the command center’s tight security, the training will end.

I couldn’t help but be flustered because I didn’t even know about it. I just did it because I was bored.

‘I had something to experiment with······’

Assassinating a person is easy, but dealing with the security magic that is spread all over the place is difficult.

Magic that has been ‘installed’ like this is difficult to remove unless you are a wizard. Hacking skills are required.

But what I used was a kind of black market and a shortcut. It was to temporarily nullify magic using lightning.

While hacking literally removes installed magic, lightning can destroy installed magic.

It’s not a disassembly, it’s a complete destruction. How do you know this?

‘Because I saw it in Soul World.’

There is an episode that requires infiltration. That episode takes place in Santiago, not the Touhou.

I infiltrated based on that knowledge, but I didn’t know it would actually work. The magic barely worked.

As expected, it was lightning, the fundamental evil ability of Soul World. Thanks to that, I was able to easily destroy the headquarters.

As a result, the absurd tragedy of early termination of the internship occurred.

“There was a spy? This is the first time I’ve heard of it.”

“I heard it for the first time too. I heard that our spies were Princess Frozen, Princess Matra of the Empire, and lastly, Wihyeon.”

“Then what about us?”

Because it ended too early, there were quite a few people who didn’t even know about the spy’s existence.

Even those who were relatively quick-witted were only at the ‘suspicion’ stage and not yet certain.

In many ways, the fact that he was trolling hasn’t changed. However, it is questionable whether this can really be called trolling.

First of all, since I didn’t do anything against the rules, and since it ended so pointlessly, it was difficult to give it a score.

If this was done with the intention of turning things around, it would be understandable, but it ended up being ambiguous because it was over from the very beginning.

“So what do we do now? What’s the score?”

“I heard the professors are having an emergency meeting? They said they’re going to hold an internship.”

“Is there a case where something like this happens because the ability is so absurdly outstanding?”

“We are living witnesses.”

“That’s true too.”

The students also had no particular complaints, as the practical training was effectively declared invalid.

If I had given points to my team for the practical training, there would have been a lot of protest.

Moreover, if you act inflexibly when your parents are also present, you will be subject to all kinds of criticism.

‘I feel sorry for no reason.’

I left the place, keeping an eye on things. No arrows of criticism were thrown at me, but I could tell they were being noticed.

I raided the headquarters just because I was bored, but I ended up trolling unintentionally. What will happen to the training from now on?

It was around the time I came out after looking around. As soon as I went out, I ran into a familiar face.

“Shiva!”

It was Kara. The person who went with me as an agent(?).

Because of me, it ended too early and I couldn’t do anything.

I felt sorry for no reason, so I was watching her closely, and Kara put a hand on my shoulder with her signature cool smile.

“Why are you so concerned? I didn’t do anything wrong.”

“Still, you have to be careful.”

“Kick kick.”

Kara roughly stroked my head. It felt strangely good and my mouth kept twitching.

She always gives off the impression of a dependable older sister. I feel like I can lean on her a little.

“It’s lunch time. Do you want to go eat?”

“huh.”

“Okay. What do you want to eat today?”

“I just want to eat a lot.”

“Yeah. That was the problem with asking you. Let’s go to a buffet.”

The restaurant I always go to is the buffet. The only downside is that it is a little expensive, but considering how much I eat, it is quite cheap.

In addition, Kara secretly eats a lot, so it is a great value for money. The buffet owner may have tears in his eyes, but he doesn’t care.

When we finally arrived at the buffet, there were quite a few people enjoying their meals. One thing in particular stood out the most.

“What? Why are you all here? Aren’t you high-ranking officials?”

As Kara’s reaction was absurd, all the parents were gathered at the buffet. It was absurd.

Why would anyone eat at a buffet when they are only proud people? They are people who have more than enough money.

“I’m hungry.”

“okay.”

I thought there must be a reason, so I just wanted to focus on eating······, but that was also difficult.

The unique clothing of the East is clothing, but how can you stand seeing so many of them gathered in one place?

I didn’t even notice it before, but when I looked closely, there was one person who stood out the most.

‘Lord? Why is Lord there?’

It was Lord. Lord was sitting in the very center, laughing and chatting.

I don’t know why he was there, especially in such a large buffet-style restaurant, but it’s not my concern.

“Crunch crunch.”

“Eat slowly. Then you’ll get full.”

Right now, the first thing I have to do is finish the buffet food. I have to eat quickly and then leave.

I don’t think anyone over there will approach me since I have loads of them, but I still want to avoid them.

‘I want to hear what you have to say······’

I glanced at the road and the parents from time to time. I wanted to eavesdrop on their conversation.

But I couldn’t hear anything, even though I may have used some special technique. My mouth was moving, but it didn’t make even the slightest noise.

Considering that this is a buffet, I couldn’t hear a thing. They must have been talking amongst themselves.

“Have you eaten everything?”

“huh.”

“Then let’s go. It looks like we’ll have a substitute practical training session tomorrow, so the professor will probably call us soon.”

“What kind of practical training should I do?”

“If it doesn’t work out, I wonder if we should just spar?”

That’s not bad either. I nodded and looked in the direction of the road.

Lord was dealing with the parents with his characteristically gentle expression. He didn’t seem particularly uncomfortable.

“··· ···”

Then, as if he sensed my gaze, our eyes met. As soon as our eyes met, I waved.

Lord also raised his hand in response to my greeting, as if he found it funny. Now that I’ve said hello, I should go outside.

‘The road will be tough too.’

I should avoid politics as much as possible.

*****

Lord, one who is praised as a swordsman in the world.

Its fame was widespread throughout the world, but it enjoyed particularly high status in the East.

Where is the East? Unlike the West, isn’t it a region where the threat of humans is more frightening than the threat of monsters?

In particular, due to the very unique culture of non-interference in official duties, there are far more conflicts between people than in the West.

Lord earned the title of ‘Sword Saint’ thanks to his exploits in the East. So how did he gain that reputation?

Did he display flashy swordsmanship? No. Was he famous for his steadfast beliefs and righteousness? No.

His fame soared to the skies because he defeated numerous strong men with swordsmanship that was no different from the most basic of basics.

Of course, as its fame soared to the sky, it came face to face with ‘Purple’, but that’s an old story.

Although Road had a reputation that could not be ignored anywhere, there was a clear line.

“Now that we’ve gone all the way to Banrohwandong, I guess no one will challenge Geomseong anymore. Hahaha!”

“That’s not necessarily true. There will come a time when I too will have to put down that name.”

“Do you have any plans to do something other than being the president of the academy······”

“doesn’t exist.”

Lord answered in a firm voice, a clear sign of refusal.

He was fine with everything else, but he tried his best to avoid getting involved in politics. The reason is simple.

Because the moment he got involved in politics, all sorts of troublesome things would happen. He liked the free life.

This tendency was like a kind of belief, so no one could embrace Lord.

The parents who came from the East, that is, the important figures in the family, were disappointed by his firm refusal, but did not dig any further.

There are so many topics I want to talk about anyway. All I have to do is gain favor little by little.

“By the way, President, there’s something I’d like to ask you.”

“Please speak.”

“What do you think of the young man who came from the forest, Mr. President?”

At that question, Lord stopped cutting the steak. But only for a split second.

No one noticed his reaction. Then Lord leisurely picked up a piece of steak with his fork.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“It’s because there are rumors that the president is fond of that young man.”

“Is that right?”

Lord gave a simple and clear affirmation. He didn’t feel the need to deny it.

But not the others. A young man from the forest, Shivar, is closely tied to Lord.

This alone will make your head spin quickly. They also realized one thing.

We need to look into the relationship as much as possible without crossing the line.

“I remember when I first met that kid. He had such an innocent, ignorant look in his eyes, and I thought he was really cute. It was quite funny.”

“··· ···”

“··· ···”

There was no need for that, because Lord had already told Shivar about his past.

It is ambiguous to even say that he was a player. The parents quietly listened to his story.

“Besides, how many accidents happened? Thinking back now, they’re all memories.”

“Did you have any difficulties?”

“There wasn’t anything in particular. He was the kind of guy who would understand ten things if you told him one thing. There was no need for me to step forward. And······”

Lord’s boasting, which was not boasting, continued. The more the parents heard the story, the more strange it felt.

What should I say? I guess it’s full of the feelings of parents who are secretly proud of their children.

The heart of a parent who looks at their child warmly even if he or she is a troublemaker. Parents are also parents of their children before they are important figures.

I couldn’t help but get drawn into Lord’s story, which was driven more by emotion than reason.

“Still, isn’t it hard for you? You grew up in the forest, so there must be something lacking······”

From noble mtl dot com

“Shivar is never lacking. He may be a troublemaker, but he is deep inside.”

“··· ···”

In particular, if there was even the slightest disparaging remark about Shivar, he would cut it off like a knife. He would threaten to cut out anyone’s tongue if they said anything more.

The meeting, which was originally supposed to have a strong political intention, went in a strange direction.

“Haha. How much is our Seokdae······”

“Is that all? My child······”

It’s time to brag about your children.

It was all according to Lord’s intention.
