A Wild Man Has Entered the Academy - Chapter 462



461 – Birds and Mice (6)

Just in case, I’m saying this, but I have no interest in animal abuse.

Although I killed many animals and monsters while in the Forest of Chaos, it was unavoidable.

When my back is warm and my stomach is full, I don’t touch animals at all. On the contrary, if there’s something cute, I tend to like it.

What is Porori? That guy was the type who would try to kill me whenever he got the chance, and more than anything, he was not cute, he was disgusting.

What kind of squirrel is this, the size of a large dog? And considering that it can even use lightning, it can never be called a squirrel.

Of course, the squirrels that follow Porori are an exception. These days, it’s called the Squirrel Forest, not the Forest of Chaos.

Anyway, I have never had a hobby of harming animals. Beyond harming them, I have never had a hobby of threatening them.

“Squeak······ squeak······”

“sorry.”

“Tsk tsk······”

A small and cute hamster was crying and putting sunflower seeds in his mouth while eating my apple.

I felt bad seeing him stuffing sunflower seeds into his mouth one by one, even though he had put in all the effort.

And her body was curled up all over. Judging from the way her plump body was trembling, she seemed to be really scared.

‘But that’s strange. Surely this hamster has information in Soul World?’

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

Here, the bird is the pigeon I shot down before, and the rat is this hamster.

In the original Soul World, if you meet certain conditions, you can confidently enter Lee Yeon-hwa’s room.

Then, you will naturally see the hamster and learn about its true nature through the special eyes of the main character, Luna.

‘Is it because you went on a business trip? Seeing all the sunflower seeds, it seems like it might be.’

It looks like they left a lot of sunflower seeds to prevent the hamster from starving to death.

The lack of information is probably because he was on a business trip. He was caught in the act.

No, it was just bad timing rather than a fluke. It’s a bit unfair to me.

“Hey. Stop looking at the hamster and go find it.”

“huh.”

In the end, the hamster turned away and accepted Lee Yeon-ju’s reprimand. Even so, nothing good would come of it.

Lee Yeon-hwa was a very thorough person. Since she went on a business trip, she would have hidden everything she had to hide somewhere.

Perhaps he hid it in his lab. However, unlike his residence, the lab has strict security.

Since Lee Yeon-hwa was a professor, she would have personal research journals and various research materials, so she had no choice but to be stricter.

“Oh my. Where on earth is this human being hidden?”

“··· ···”

Lee Yeon-ju was getting irritated, as if she couldn’t find anything that could help her.

I also pretended to look for it and glanced at the hamster from time to time. The hamster was still crying and eating sunflower seeds.

No matter how much I think about it, it’s definitely that hamster, but since there’s no evidence, it’s a real headache. Should I officially go to Lee Yeon-hwa’s room?

-Knock! Knock!

‘By the way, isn’t he in too much of a hurry?’

I stared blankly at Lee Yeon-ju. Even if I wanted to find information, I was too hasty.

Just by opening and closing the desk drawer, the pen on the desk rolls around, and the contents inside the drawer change positions.

There’s no way Lee Yeon-hwa, who has a meticulous personality, wouldn’t know this. She said she’d done it before, so she probably noticed.

‘If there is a trap, that is problematic in its own way.’

What if it suddenly explodes with a bang? Then we’re all finished.

I don’t know if I’m being careless with that in mind. I should have said this in advance.

“rendition.”

“why.”

“Look carefully. It’s dangerous.”

“Just put it back where it belongs.”

Your sister is sensitive to even a 1cm change in position, you know.

I don’t know why the sisters have such different personalities. One seems like she’d be thorough, but the other is the exact opposite.

I sighed inwardly and reluctantly began to rummage around. First up was the closet.

‘······Is this person a single-set gentleman or a single-set lady?’

As soon as I open my closet, all I see are clothes of the same color. It’s not even Shin-chan, what the heck is this.

Even though they all have a strong taste, they are all similar types. The only difference is their color.

It seems like they wear different colors every day of the week. I thought that might be the case and looked around.

‘There’s no point in looking into it.’

I should just pretend to find it and get on with it. I don’t want to arouse unnecessary suspicion.

In the end, even after searching for an hour, I couldn’t find anything. The only thing I found was information about the Hwan Empire.

It seems like he took everything related to Jo Han. It is highly likely that Lee Yeon Hwa, who has a thorough personality, took it.

“Ha. You’re really a Hwan Empire person through and through. It’s disgusting.”

“··· ···”

Lee Yeon-ju growled as she looked at the documents related to the Hwan Empire that she had finally found. The paper was crumpled with the force of her hand.

I wonder if there’s any way to fix that sanguine personality. Well, I guess I’ll figure it out later.

Just as I was about to leave without having earned a decent income, something caught my eye.

“Squeak. Squeak.”

“··· ···”

“Squeak squeak squeak.”

It was hard to see because it was covered in darkness, but I could see it clearly.

The face of the hamster baby giggling as he watched us leave.

It may be an illusion, but Soul World suddenly came to mind. How clever that hamster is.

It was closer to being smart than clever, but now I see it as clever.

‘······If you’re acting?’

There may really be no information in the mouth. But what if you were trying to gain sympathy by pretending to be pitiful?

Hamsters have enough cuteness to attract people’s attention. Lee Yeon-ju immediately scolded me for bullying the hamster and told me to stop.

First of all, it is suspicious that Lee Yeon-hwa uses that hamster. She uses the hamster as a contact.

That means the hamster is very capable, and there must be something I don’t know about it.

“Huh? Hey. Where are you going?”

“I have something to check.”

“What is it?”

Without answering Lee Yeon-ju’s question, he headed to the cage where the hamster lived.

As I approached, the hamster let go of the sunflower seed it had in its mouth, as if it had been pricked by something.

At the same time, the guy is shivering with a very scared expression. It must be real, not an act.

‘Come to think of it······’

There’s a guy who understands animal language, right? He’s also a rat.

With that thought in mind, I opened the cage and slowly reached out my hand towards the hamster.

Then the hamster ran around trying to escape somehow, but it was no use.

-Ouch!

“Kkung!”

A hamster was caught in my hand, making a unique sound. Its chubby cheeks looked very cute.

Now I just need to take this guy and head into the forest. I struggled to escape somehow, but it was no use.

“Hey. You really… why did you bring a hamster? What’s with it?”

“maybe?”

“Can I trust you?”

“hmm······”

That’s what I wanted to ask in return. I stared at Lee Yeon-ju.

She was looking at me with a very unattractive expression. How should I explain it?

But as the old saying goes, seeing once is better than hearing a hundred times, so showing it to someone directly would be much better.

“Follow me.”

“Where are you going?”

“Forest of Chaos.”

“The forest? Why there?”

“Just follow me.”

Oh, you really are talking a lot. I jumped down from the railing, leaving Yeonju Lee behind with a puzzled expression.

I didn’t forget to look closely to see if the hamster got hurt. I heard that if you press a hamster wrong, it can damage its eyes.

“Squeak! Squeak!”

“Be quiet. I’ll eat it up.”

“··· ···”

The hamster, which had been struggling for a while, became quiet after my threat.

I can’t understand what the hamster says, but it can understand what I say so well. It’s really amazing.

Even I was speaking in the official language, not in Chinese or Korean. I guess I have a quick wit.

-Toodoodoodoodoo!

That doesn’t mean I don’t rebel at all.

As we headed to the Forest of Chaos, he spat out sunflower seeds from his pouch to me.

I feel a little bad about spitting out watermelon seeds, so I decided to set an example.

“box.”

-Tub

Just put it in your mouth. Even though it was a pretty big guy, it was easy to put it in your mouth.

The hamster guy filling my mouth. Of course, the hamster was making a fuss inside.

[Clang! Clang! Clang!!]

A hamster screaming in fear of being eaten. Naturally, it has no intention of being eaten.

After a short training session, he spat it out right away. He was covered in spit and shivering.

I think it’s okay to say that I’ve educated him to this extent. I said quietly to the hamster.

“If you want to go to the Room of Truth again, you can bite my hand. Okay?”

“Squeak······”

“Yeah. Good.”

As expected, animals know how to submit only when they are disciplined with a whip. I headed to the Forest of Chaos with the hamster, who had become much quieter than before.

“······I don’t know who the beast is.”

I lightly ignored Lee Yeon-ju’s words that followed. I couldn’t deny that her actions just now were beastly.

Soon darkness fell and I was able to enter the dark, chaotic forest.

Of course, I entered through a different route, not the main gate. The main gate was guarded by security.

“Squeak! Squeak!”

When I arrived at the forest where Porori lived, suddenly a hamster guy started screaming.

It was a very insignificant roar, but I suppressed it with my fingers because the beast might have heard it and come running.

But you can’t take back what’s already been said. There was someone who responded to that roar.

“What? Why is he with you?”

It was Porori. Porori appeared out of the darkness with fluent speech.

Lee Yeon-ju, who was behind me, showed a very bewildered reaction, but I ignored it. It was an expected reaction.

“Do you know him?”

“Of course I know. I pass by here almost every day.”

“Aren’t you going to touch it?”

“We’re compatriots.”

Were you compatriots, not fellow countrymen?
