A Wild Man Has Entered the Academy - Chapter 458



457 – Birds and Mice (2)

There was an incident where Lee Yeon-ju was left dazed for a while after hearing a joke that wasn’t mine, but it was just an incident.

She snickered at my slightly immature Korean and told me to follow her.

Since I also had something to say to Lee Yeon-ju, I followed her without saying much.

The place we finally arrived at was the most famous tea house in the academy. It was a tea house famous for its oriental teas.

I’ve been here with Dan Ye-rin sometimes, so it wasn’t unfamiliar. This was my first time coming with Lee Yeon-ju.

“Is there anything you want to drink?”

“green tea.”

“Green tea? Do you like green tea?”

When I ordered green tea, Lee Yeon-ju showed a surprising reaction. Her eyes widened, showing that she had not expected it at all.

I didn’t order green tea to see that kind of reaction, I really like green tea. Its strange taste is secretly addictive.

“Yeah. It’s delicious.”

“That’s strange. I thought you liked sweets.”

“I like sweet things the best. But that doesn’t mean I dislike other things. As long as I can eat them, I’m happy.”

My taste buds are sweet first and foremost, and then it’s all over the place.

If you survive inside the Forest of Chaos, you will know that being picky is a luxury.

At first, I cried several times because there were many times when I couldn’t even eat proper meals, let alone sweets.

But after I gave up and started eating bugs one by one, my sense of taste became a little distorted.

‘The more unique the taste, the better.’

Foods that I have mixed feelings about are like new experiences to me, so I tend to eat them all.

Lee Yeon-ju looked at me with curiosity and then chuckled. It seemed like she had noticed something.

“Well, you must have had a hard time in the forest too. Then, you don’t have any particular food preference, do you?”

“huh.”

“That’s fortunate. Most of the flavors of the Huan Empire are strong, so people either like it or hate it. Have you ever tried it?”

“any.”

I’ve eaten at buffets. Since I eat a lot, I usually eat at buffets.

However, buffets usually serve food that is not popular, so the flavor is not as strong. Still, it was quite delicious.

Since the motif of the Huan Empire is martial arts, and martial arts is Chinese, many related cultures appear.

Food with a unique aroma, being inviolable, or having a strangely strong speaking style, etc.

It’s easy to think of it as just a martial arts novel. However, as Dan Ye-rin said, it ended up being too greedy.

Moreover, it is difficult to say that public security is good even in empty words, and they will likely be trying to turn the mood around through this academy experiential learning.

‘In that state, the Crown Prince’s body explodes······’

Now that that’s gone, I don’t know what will happen. That’s why Lee Yeon-joo is important.

In severe cases, the hardliners, including Lee Yeon-ju, could directly assassinate the independence fighters.

Of course, since the generals are guarding it tightly, the chance of such a thing happening is close to 0%, but I can’t help but feel anxious.

“If that doesn’t work, I can introduce you to another dish. It’s the food of my home country, and it might suit your taste.”

“Where are you?”

“They’ll be in the capital of the Huan Empire. Those damned b*stards.”

It’s strange to hear him say that with a smile on his face. But I can understand his feelings.

The Huan Empire did not just absorb the country. It gradually took away the country’s overall traditions and culture.

If he had just acted like a big brother, it would have been enough, but he was too greedy and ended up dying with his stomach bursting.

“By the way, what are you and your sister doing these days? I see you always pack a bunch of books and leave.”

“I’m learning to speak.”

“Words? What words?”

“Johan-eo.”

When he said that he was learning the language of Jo Han, Lee Yeon-ju flinched greatly. At the same time, the atmosphere became heavy.

-Knock knock knock

If it weren’t for the fact that an employee came just in time, there wouldn’t have been a word exchanged for a while.

I received green tea, and Lee Yeon-ju received black tea. I took a sip as soon as I received the tea.

The unique, strong aroma and mysterious taste of green tea lingered in my mouth.

“······She’s going to teach us the language of our homeland?”

After a while, Lee Yeon-ju opened her mouth. It was something quite harsh, something that you wouldn’t imagine her saying to her older sister.

This is the part where you can see how strong Lee Yeon-joo’s anger is towards Lee Yeon-hwa. She must be really angry.

Teaching the language of the motherland after abandoning it and becoming a traitor? Lee Yeon-ju would be furious.

“huh.”

“Why learn from someone from the Hwan Empire? You’d be better off asking someone else.”

“There isn’t any.”

“I am?”

“Aren’t you busy?”

“··· ···”

Don’t you have other things to do? When I answered with that nuance, Lee Yeon-ju reluctantly admitted it.

However, the wrinkled expression remains, as if he is not happy with the fact that Lee Yeon-hwa is teaching Korean.

Although he usually had a gentle face, just the moment he frowned, a fierce look came out.

Then she took a sip of black tea, as if trying to calm her burning insides.

“······I’m busy too. But I can’t believe that she’s teaching us Korean. How shameless.”

“You hate it that much?”

“Of course I don’t like it! You don’t know because you don’t have a homeland······!”

Lee Yeon-ju quickly shut her mouth as if she thought she had made a slip of the tongue. However, once you say something, you can’t take it back.

She looked at me carefully and apologized to me in a more cautious voice.

“······I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to insult you.”

“I’m used to it.”

“Anyway! The traitor who betrayed the country she was born and raised in is my older sister. Damn it, she’s my blood relative.”

There’s a reason for all that, this woman.

But there is no way Lee Yeon-ju will believe me if I say this.

The ill feelings have already built up and turned into prejudice. Even if you show them evidence, they will deny it.

‘That’s Lee Yeon-ju’s biggest weakness.’

As you can see, Lee Yeon-ju has a quick temper. She is the complete opposite of Lee Yeon-hwa, who has a calm personality.

In some ways, you could say that he has a personality that fits his energetic age. The problem is that his personality provokes anger.

Angry people may seem aggressive, but they actually have a defensive nature.

Attack first so that you won’t be attacked. And didn’t Lee Yeon-ju lose her country?

Your irritable personality may have become more severe due to your own personality and surrounding environment.

‘Besides, the relationship between sisters was good until the country was taken away.’

As I said before, Lee Yeon-ju’s family is a family with high authority. However, in an instant, it turned into a family that sold the country.

Of course, it only appears as if he has sold out his country, but he has infiltrated the heart of the enemy while risking all the stigma.

The episode has to end on a positive note for him to be cleared of all stigma and find his place. This is also a difficult task.

“So you’re saying you’re going to be with her this vacation?”

“Just until I learn everything. But I almost learned everything.”

“What? I guess our language isn’t easy?”

“Then let’s talk in Korean.”

What I said to her at first was more like a joke. But if I speak honestly, I can say it.

Lee Yeon-ju made a dubious expression and then shook her head. It meant that it wasn’t necessary.

“No, that’s okay. I spoke Tatar like a local, so you’ll have to believe me. I’ll just think of you as a genius.”

“thank you.”

“Then you must have learned the language of the Huan Empire as well?”

“I learned it from Dan Ye-rin.”

When I told her that I had mastered the language of the Hwan Empire, Lee Yeon-ju made a strange expression. The sound of the stone being rolled could be heard from here.

“······hey.”

“say.”

“Are you planning to become a diplomat later? Or an interpreter?”

I had a hard time answering because it sounded so sincere. What should I say?

“I just want to eat well and live well.”

“If you can’t live on your own, then that’s strange in its own way, isn’t it?”

“There are many things that cannot be achieved through force.”

“You’re kidding. If I had the same power as you, I would have rebelled right away.”

That’s not a joke, it’s 100% serious.

“No. There would have been no incident of the country being taken over before then.”

“··· ···”

He let out a deep sigh and muttered self-deprecating words. In the end, losing a country is because of weakness.

Even if there is some flashy trolling from high-ranking officials, it would have been impossible if the basic force was strong.

Just as the subtle silence was about to settle down again, Lee Yeon-ju hurriedly tried to change the mood.

“I’m sorry. I said something you didn’t relate to at all.”

“are you okay.”

“Honestly, every time I see you, I can’t help but think you’re so kind.”

Lee Yeon-ju chuckled at my cool answer. Then she drank all the black tea in one sip.

It seemed like she was slowly getting to the point. I waited to see what she would suggest.

“Shivar.”

“huh.”

“I need your help, can you help me?”

“What’s the reward?”

Lee Yeon-ju is a give-and-take type. She is the type that unconditionally returns favors with favors.

Lee Yeon-ju smiled as if she liked my question, then spoke in a serious voice.

“I want to check out my sister’s house.”

“··· ···”

“There’s a good chance there’s important information there. I’ll open the door. Can you do it?”

“What’s the reward?”

“I’ll tell you who sent you the letter.”

Oh? This is better information than I thought. My eyes widened.

Lee Yeon-ju smiled slightly, perhaps judging that her deal had worked.

“Okay. I’ll do it.”

“It’s nice and cool. My sister will probably go on a business trip the day after tomorrow. You know that, right?”

“huh.”

“Okay. Let’s have lunch again tomorrow at 2 o’clock. Let’s meet back here.”

Things went smoothly. We chatted briefly afterwards and then left together.

and······

“Huh? Shivar? And next to me······”

“Luna?”

As if it were a twist of fate, I ran into Luna as soon as I left the tea house.

“··· ···”

Luna looked at us both with a subtle gaze.
