A Wild Man Has Entered the Academy - Chapter 461



460 – Birds and Mice (5)

As time passed, the operation start date approached. Just before the operation started, Lee Yeon-ju came to our house.

He didn’t come in through the window like a thief, but entered the house confidently. He had about an hour to spare.

The only reason she came to my house was because of Dan Ye-rin. She said she had something to discuss with her or something.

From my perspective, it didn’t really matter, so I happily let him in. I wanted to hear what he had to say, though.

“Luna will also help us from now on. We made a deal.”

“Luna?”

And as soon as Dan Ye-rin met us, she told us a pretty shocking story. She had made a deal with Luna.

I thought something was strange, and it seems like he had a conversation with Dan Ye-rin. I’m not sure what it was though.

“You didn’t tell me in detail, did you? The more you know about a secret, the less its meaning fades. You know that too.”

Lee Yeon-ju seemed convinced for a moment, but then she made a disgruntled expression and rebuked him. In fact, what she said was not wrong.

In this situation, the more allies the better, but the scale is too large. In reality, it is an area of ​​the country that is difficult for an individual to handle.

Even if just one gear is misaligned, it can easily become misaligned or broken, but Luna’s gear is quite large.

“I know that. But Luna found out an important secret.”

“Secret? You know the secret?”

“Yeah. It’s a bit of a sensitive issue, so I had no choice but to make a deal.”

Then Dan Ye-rin looked at me. Judging from her reaction, it must have something to do with me.

The secret between me and Dan Ye-rin is not an affair, it’s just a secret meeting. If that’s the case, I can understand.

‘But what was Luna’s reaction when she saw me and Lee Yeon-ju?’

This made no sense. What on earth was Luna thinking, and what was she talking about with Dan Ye-rin?

He has a talent for making people’s heads hurt, beyond his talent. That’s the problem.

“Honestly, I don’t trust Luna. Even if she has the skills, her mouth is a little······”

Lee Yeon-ju said with a look of disapproval. I agreed with her opinion.

Luna is not so sure where her words will end up. She seems to be showing the extreme of beating around the bush.

Contrary to his appearance, he is usually a reserved person, but whenever he opens his mouth, he causes trouble, so people call him the Mouth of Chaos.

She won’t go around and brag or anything. Rather, it’s more likely that she’ll cause confusion to the other party.

“There’s no need to worry about that. If necessary, we can shut your mouth in some other way.”

But it seems that Dan Ye-rin is also trying a rather extreme method. This was a bit surprising.

Lee Yeon-ju was the same, and her reaction was quite surprising. She then spoke in a trembling voice.

“No. Even so, that······”

“You’re weak.”

“What, what?”

“Wouldn’t someone who would sacrifice his body for his country have thought of becoming poisonous?”

The sharp criticism pierced Lee Yeon-ju’s heart. Lee Yeon-ju would have no way of refuting those words.

Dan Ye-rin has already been through a lot in the past. If we are to judge by her venom, she is stronger than anyone else.

So, if necessary, they will resort to harsh measures to keep people quiet. It was the same in Soul World.

‘I will save you till the end, though.’

That being said, if there is a possibility, I would choose to save as much as possible.

It’s only when there’s zero chance that you have no choice but to throw it away. He probably said it to confirm Lee Yeon-ju’s feelings.

“······Okay, just do it. I hope Luna doesn’t reveal anything as much as possible.”

“Good idea.”

“Then what if Shivar reveals it? What will you do then?”

Lee Yeon-ju asked a question out of the blue. Dan Ye-rin stopped herself as she was about to raise her glass.

Then she looked at me with a subtle gaze, then chuckled and poured her drink again.

“I believe there is a reason.”

“What if I betray you?”

“I should die. The chances have dropped to zero.”

Dan Ye-rin answered like that and drank alcohol. I could guess how strong her trust in me was.

In fact, from her perspective, the moment I betray her, she will be so discouraged that she will despair. She will lose her will to live.

If I betray in Soul World, I’ll turn into a tyrant and that’s the end… But if I betray now, I really feel like I’ll take my own life.

“Well, if Shivar is betraying me, then the situation must be dire. Whatever happens, it will be disadvantageous to me.”

“You trust Shivar beyond believing in him.”

“I only have Shivar. Would you like a drink?”

“No. Okay. It’s almost time to go.”

Lee Yeon-ju simply refused Dan Ye-rin’s offer of a drink and got up from her seat. It seemed like she was about to leave.

I also got up from my seat following Lee Yeon-ju. Dan Ye-rin poured herself a drink while looking at the two of us.

“I would like to go with you too.”

“Want to come?”

“Okay. It’ll just be a nuisance. But anyway······”

Dan Ye-rin stared at Lee Yeon-ju with a slightly drunken look on her face. It seemed like she was looking at her entire body, not just her face.

Lee Yeon-ju’s current outfit is suitable for undercover work. Black tights that clearly show off her body’s curves.

Although her chest is relatively small, her overall body shape is excellent, giving her a strangely s*xy look.

“Isn’t it uncomfortable? Just looking at it makes me suffocate.”

“I can handle it. This is better.”

“Hmm······”

Dan Ye-rin stared intently at Lee Yeon-ju’s chest for a while before she began to snicker. It was a smile that contained a lot.

Lee Yeon-ju also seemed to have vaguely noticed it, as the area under her eyes twitched, but she didn’t point it out. She wasn’t sure.

“It’ll be fine for someone with a body type like yours. I could never wear it.”

“What? You bird······”

“Let’s go. Let’s go. Let’s go.”

It seems like Dan Ye-rin is a little drunk. Seeing her making such provocative remarks.

I moved, pushing the back of Yeonju Lee, who was crying. Dan Yerin waved at us and took out her bear quill.

“I envy you.”

A meaningful word entered my ears, but I tried to ignore it.

‘You couldn’t have said that out of jealousy, could you?’

I believed that Dan Ye-rin was not that kind of character.

*****

Darkness is a great environment for stealth. It’s the perfect environment for doing whatever you do secretly.

And Lee Yeon-ju and I were moving to the operation location without anyone knowing. Since we were both skilled at infiltration, we didn’t even make a sound.

However, objectively speaking, I am better at hiding than Lee Yeon-ju. This is natural, as it comes from the will to live.

During the time I was surviving inside the Forest of Chaos, and during that time when I was very weak, I had no choice but to hide like this.

“Everyone’s here. Let’s start going up.”

“huh.”

“Wait a minute. It’s security.”

When I almost reached Lee Yeon-hwa’s residence, I hurriedly hid at the mention of security.

Just because it’s an academy doesn’t mean there aren’t security guards patrolling at night. Since there are so many different types of students, there are patrols to some extent.

We moved stealthily again after the guard with the lantern passed by. Lee Yeon-hwa’s room is on the third floor.

-Thump! Knock! Knock!

Lee Yeon-ju reached the balcony in an instant with light movements. Her movements were as nimble as her petite body.

Me on the other hand?

-Phew!

I reached the balcony with just one jump. Then, Lee Yeon-ju looked at me with a bewildered expression.

If you have great power, you don’t need skills. I have power that doesn’t require skills.

-Knock knock. Knock knock. Click.

Soon, Lee Yeon-ju opened the locked balcony door. She must have been quite familiar with it, as she opened it in less than 10 seconds.

This is how I entered Lee Yeon-hwa’s room. I took off my shoes and entered barefoot so as not to leave any footprints.

“Now we’re looking for information, okay?”

“huh.”

“You can read too, so if you see anything, tell me.”

That’s easy. I already know where to focus.

I turned my head to the other side while Lee Yeon-ju was checking Lee Yeon-hwa’s desk.

A place where the moonlight cannot reach and darkness has completely fallen. It is a location that has been cleverly hidden, as expected of Lee Yeon-hwa, who has strong perfectionist tendencies.

But I was already used to the darkness, so I could see straight ahead what was there.

‘You didn’t take the hamster with you.’

The object shrouded in darkness is a cage. It is a cage with a chubby hamster squirming around.

I walked over to the cage and took a closer look at the hamster. The hamster seemed to recognize my presence because it looked straight at me.

“Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!”

“··· ···”

A hamster starts trembling in fear as soon as it sees me. It’s a bit pitiful, but there’s nothing I can do about it.

Because this hamster had a secret. I carefully opened the cage and looked down at the hamster.

He must have been a very smart guy. I looked down from above the cage and saw him trembling in the corner.

Of course, I have no intention of harming him. Why would I harm someone who would become a great ‘assistant’ in the future?

“hey.”

of course.

“Spit it all out.”

Assuming pure ‘cooperation’.

“Who the hell are you talking to? Who’s there?”

“Yeah. This guy.”

“Who is this guy······”

Lee Yeon-ju came to me as if she had heard my threat. Then she also found the hamster trembling.

From noble mtl dot com

Lee Yeon-ju, who had been staring at me like that for a long time, turned her head and looked at me, then showed a bewildered reaction.

“Do you understand animal language now?”

“no.”

“Then why on earth are you doing that?”

“What’s wrong with him?”

“What do you have?”

“You’ll find out soon enough. Hey. Spit it out quickly.”

“Clang! Clang!”

The hamster reacted with a tearful face to my repeated threats.

Judging by the plump mouth, there must be a note with information inside. I dare say so.

Soon, the hamster began to spit out everything in its mouth with a face that looked like it was begging to be spared.

Sunflower seeds, which filled my pockets and were like food to me.

“··· ···”

“··· ···”

“Squeak! Squeak!”

Oh my. This is all I can do. Please save me.

The hamster begged earnestly. But when I actually saw it, I couldn’t help but be dumbfounded.

If this is how I feel, how much more so must Lee Yeon-ju feel? She spoke to me with a look in her eyes like she was looking at me like I was crazy.

“hey.”

“··· ···”

“If you’re going to do that, then there are even talking squirrels, right?”

That’s real.

I feel wronged.
