A Wild Man Has Entered the Academy - Chapter 457



456 – Birds and Mice (2)

Birds hear what’s said during the day, and mice hear what’s said at night.

This is one of the more famous proverbs and is deeply connected to rumors.

A proverb that says that even big secrets will eventually be discovered, so you have to be careful not to let anyone hear them.

And it is a proverb that is perfect for expressing Yeonhwa Lee and is a kind of secret slogan.

As we progress through the episodes, information related to Lee Yeon-hwa will start to pop up one after another.

One of the episodes is that if Lee Yeon-ju, the younger sister, comes across that information, the misunderstanding is naturally resolved.

‘In order to do that, we need to find more information related to Lee Yeon-hwa······’

It wasn’t as easy as it seemed. First of all, on the outside, Lee Yeon-hwa seems like a perfect professor and from the Hwan Empire.

A professor who is kind to students and even teaches well.

A person from the Huan Empire who speaks the Huan language better than the people of the Huan Empire and goes one step further by using various advanced vocabulary.

If you only look at this, it may seem so ‘perfect’ that it arouses suspicion, but he also occasionally reveals his attachment to his hometown.

For this reason, the people of the Huan Empire did not suspect Lee Yeon-hwa much. Rather, they even told her to give up her attachment to her hometown.

Lee Yeon-hwa also pretended to throw it away and obtained some valuable information. In terms of skills as a spy, Lee Yeon-hwa is first-class and above.

‘But it’s not like I can search the lab or go into the house.’

Even if you know everything, you shouldn’t do it recklessly. Doing so will only arouse unnecessary suspicion.

Even though I have Luna, who is close to being my companion, she is not very… trustworthy. Especially when it comes to secret work like infiltration.

This method will be of no use unless you confuse the other person with your unique, bizarre, if not wicked, way of speaking.

‘or not······’

Should I attach Luna to Yeonhwa to cause confusion? In the meantime, I’ll rummage through her house.

But Luna has no reason to stick to Lee Yeon-hwa. Isn’t Luna also receiving tutoring from Dan Ye-rin right now?

In the end, I had no choice but to scrap this agenda. In reality, I had no choice but to do it alone.

“Okay. Look. This part is important. As I said before, Korean has complicated grammar, but surprisingly······”

“··· ···”

So I consistently took private lessons from Lee Yeon-hwa. Lee Yeon-hwa also taught me with sincerity only when she entered into professor mode.

Thanks to this, I was able to learn the grammar system of the Korean language, as well as the difficult honorifics and intonation. Of course, this was possible because it was similar to Korean.

“Oh, right. Student Shibar. Are you doing any special training these days?”

“What kind of training?”

“Just normal training. I’m done talking to Shivar, but I’m curious about the rest of the time.”

That doesn’t mean I only teach classes. Sometimes, I naturally bring up other questions like this.

I glanced at the question. The bird I shot down last time was in the cage.

“Gulp! Gulp! Gulp!”

“There he goes again.”

A white pigeon fluttered as if in a fit as soon as it made eye contact with me. It calmed down after Lee Yeon-hwa barely managed to stop it.

It seems like being shot down left a trauma on him. If he’s smart, then you could say he’s a smart guy.

“Ahem. Where did we leave off? Oh, right. So what do you do outside of tutoring?”

“Let’s play.”

“I see. Let’s play during the vacation. Maybe with that Dan Ye-rin student I mentioned before?”

A natural stab following a natural conversation. A question that raises suspicion about Dan Ye-rin’s friendship.

However, I had fully anticipated such a question, so I was able to answer it with relief.

“Yes. We play often.”

“In what way?”

“Have a drink.”

“······yes?”

Lee Yeon-hwa’s poker face, which had never been broken, crumbled slightly. Of course it would.

But this is a fact without a single lie. There would be no Grace, no drinking or talking with Dan Ye-rin every night, etc.

I’m playing very healthily. Of course, I haven’t done anything like that yet. This is something that Dan Ye-rin is also holding back on.

‘I don’t want to smoke.’

Sometimes, Dan Ye-rin would offer me a cigarette but I refused. Instead, she told me to quit smoking.

Then, Dan Ye-rin’s words were the best. She said that as soon as she had my child, she would destroy all the bear houses.

“Oh, I see. Do you like alcohol?”

“Only delicious things. I don’t like bitter things.”

“Most Eastern liquors are bitter, aren’t they?”

“I don’t use expensive things.”

Even if it seems like a useless conversation, it would be pretty good information for Lee Yeon-hwa. It means that Dan Ye-rin and I have a special relationship.

Besides, drinking at night is impossible unless you are in a deep relationship that can even include a physical relationship.

Perhaps this was a bit strange. Lee Yeon-hwa looked around in case someone heard her and then asked cautiously.

“That······ student Shibar?”

“yes.”

“When I saw it, it seemed like Shivar was the only student who hung out with female students… Right?”

“There is a male student.”

“Who is that?”

“It’s Karasuyo.”

“··· ···”

When mentioning Karas, the crown prince of the Matra Empire, Lee Yeon-hwa became speechless.

I hate to admit it, but I have to admit it. I can say this with confidence because I am pretty close to Karas.

Even though he’s always annoying, he can sometimes be helpful. That’s why I hate him even more.

He’s a guy who only cares about his abilities and ends up having thoughts with different meanings every time.

“Hmm. Hmm. Anyway, except for Karasu, they are all female students, right?”

From noble mtl dot com

“For now?”

“Do you drink with those girls at night too?”

“no?”

Dan Ye-rin is the only one who enjoys secret meetings at night. She has never met anyone else at night.

His relationships with other people are generally good, such as when he throws tantrums at Ellie or sparring with Kara.

Besides, isn’t the rumor already spreading? Not just in the class, but throughout the entire academy.

‘Rumors spread that he was a womanizer.’

We were busy talking and playing among ourselves in the eye of the typhoon, but I heard a few stories. Most of them were about me.

The wild and debaucherous nature of a wild man, and the women who indulge in it are also a problem, etc.

I don’t mind people swearing at me, but I can’t stand people swearing at my people. So what did you do?

He sent a warning that was almost like a nuclear bomb, telling Lord to report directly. Naturally, all the strange rumors disappeared.

Even if Lord himself had not come forward, I think I would have personally found the source of the rumor and pulled out its tongue one day.

“Oh, I see. Do you like those female students, Shibari?”

“yes.”

“More than student Dan Ye-rin?”

“Don’t try to be superior to your friends. It’s bad.”

“··· ···”

When I gave her a sharp rebuke, Lee Yeon-hwa once again turned into a dumb person who had eaten honey. She must have realized that she had made a mistake.

After all, she also thinks I’m a wild person, so that’s why she asked me that question. It’s not that I don’t understand.

‘I made a mistake.’

But the fact that he made a ‘mistake’ remains unchanged. I tilted my head when I heard that part.

Then he asked with a questioning voice, pretending to be puzzled.

“But why?”

“yes?”

“I feel like I keep asking only about Dan Ye-rin.”

“Ah, no. Just······because we’re from the same Hwan Empire?”

I can see your pupils shaking, Professor. Just as there is no perfect person in the world, neither is Lee Yeon-hwa.

I don’t think it’s a shame that I ended up creating a situation where I had doubts. It’s perfectly fine for me.

Now all that remains is to create a situation that amplifies that suspicion. But before that, there’s a problem.

“The Korean language is almost over. I didn’t know it would go by this fast.”

“That’s right.”

The fact that mastery of the Korean language is almost complete. This is something that even Lee Yeon-hwa did not expect.

The Huan Empire language took about ten days, while the Han language took a week, which is shorter than that. Even in my opinion, it is too fast.

‘Then what should I do during the remaining vacation?’

Should I learn another language? Or should I find something else?

I finished my tutoring while thinking about such things. Lee Yeon-hwa said that she thought it would be okay if I came back tomorrow.

I left the lab with my arms full of textbooks. It was a matter of concern for many reasons.

‘How can I kill time?’

I had to somehow find the ‘rat’ that could hear the night talk. I thought I had to find it even if it meant forcing myself to do so.

That was when.

“Hey. You.”

“?”

I heard a woman’s voice whispering in my ear. It was a very familiar voice.

When I turned my head, I was able to come face to face with a familiar face.

Unlike the tall and slender Lee Yeon-hwa, she has a short stature and petite build.

An overall cute cat-like appearance that alternates between a gentle and sharp impression depending on the expression.

“Did you go to that guy again?”

Lee Yeon-hwa’s younger sister, Lee Yeon-ju, suddenly appeared in front of me. I blinked as I listened to her words.

He said he went to see that person again. He must have been asking if he went to see Lee Yeon-hwa.

When I saw this, I knew she didn’t find me by chance. She must have followed me.

At this, I blinked and opened my mouth in Korean, which was neither the official nor the foreign language.

“Have you been hating me until now?”

“··· ···”

Lee Yeon-ju’s expression was truly something to behold.

Because it was close to the expression of someone who had heard the most terrible thing in the world.

‘Was my pronunciation weird?’

I thought it was perfect, but it seems like it wasn’t for the locals.

“······If I look at the red eyes, I know this guy. Why is there an idiot here?”

I don’t think he’s stupid, though. He seemed sincere, which made me feel a little sad.

[Faith rises!]

Don’t tease me, Chaos. I’m hurt.
