A Wild Man Has Entered the Academy - Chapter 465



464 – Each person’s preparation (2)

I think they threw a huge bait related to Lee Yeon-hwa to Lee Yeon-ju, so it’s safe to say that preparations are almost complete.

He has mastered the language of both the Huan Empire and the Zhao Han, and has grown to the point where Luna can understand basic communication.

Again, it’s not about being able to communicate smoothly, it’s about being able to understand. It’s literally just listening.

Still, I was satisfied because it was much better than not being able to understand at all. After all, I or others would be the ones doing the talking.

“Is there anything to watch out for in the East?”

“If you say so, you should be careful when you laugh. Especially for women like us, it would be a good idea to cover your mouth when you laugh.”

“why?”

“That’s because Eastern cultures tend to consider women who don’t cover their mouths when they laugh as vulgar.”

As the first day of school approaches, Dan Ye-rin teaches Luna about the culture she must be careful of in the East.

The only thing the Academy tells you is the overall plan or schedule. This culture will not tell you anything.

The situation is a little different with Tatar. It was Tatar’s first time at the academy, so they taught him various cultures, but it’s not the East.

Since the East has been consistently designated as a region for field experience learning, we send them there believing that they will know most of the culture.

“I’m just saying this in case, but do you know what this action means?”

Dan Ye-rin, who had been slowly teaching the culture, suddenly started rubbing her eyes with both hands.

If it were original, it would be normal if it was ugly, but since Dan Ye-rin did it, even that becomes pretty. It seems like she’s showing off.

Of course, apart from that, anyone can see that this is a ‘racist’ shirt. If they did that in the East, there would be chaos.

The issue of racial discrimination is something that even the Academy is sensitive about, so doing something like that would result in suspension.

“······No matter how much I don’t know, I know that. It’s racial discrimination.”

“Hmm. You know me well. What about you, Shivar?”

“I know.”

The number one thing you should never do to an Easterner is tearing their eyes. On the other hand, Westerners grab their cheeks and hang them.

The person who taught me that was Ellie. It was a little funny when Ellie grabbed the ball and pulled it down.

“Other than that, is there anything else to watch out for?”

“Even if it’s hot, it’s best to avoid wearing clothes that are too revealing. The East is very conservative.”

“So Yerin······”

Luna glanced at Dan Ye-rin, her words trailing off. Dan Ye-rin was currently wearing oriental pajamas.

Although the exposed area is minimal, considering that it is everyday clothing and not pajamas, it is understandable to say such a thing.

I don’t know if it’s because a certain area is so large, but sometimes skin is exposed.

Dan Ye-rin seemed to be aware of this part as well, shrugging her shoulders and answering nonchalantly.

“It’s just because I feel comfortable here. If I were to go back to my hometown, I would dress modestly.”

“I guess so?”

“Yes. However, since the East is so conservative, there are some areas that I am worried about. Especially the Tatar princess.”

Dan Ye-rin suddenly mentions the Tatar princess, Kara. I think I know what she’s worried about.

It’s not a problem related to racism. The East, as I said before, is conservative but at the same time tolerant.

I will respect anyone as long as they follow and respect my culture. I will even give them food.

In that sense, Kara will never be discriminated against. From an Easterner’s perspective, they are just foreigners with tanned skin.

“I’ve rarely had a conversation with the Tatar princess, but she seems like a rather free spirited person. Isn’t she?”

So what Dan Ye-rin is worried about is whether the free-spirited Kara will be able to adapt to the conservative culture of the East.

Dan Yerin probably doesn’t know much about Kara, considering she’s barely had a conversation with them. She probably only knows things she’s heard.

We also rarely talked about other people unless it was something important.

“You may be free-spirited, but… that doesn’t mean you don’t respect others. Even if you grumble, I’ll listen to you, right?”

For some reason Luna said the right thing. I looked at Luna as if I had witnessed a miracle.

I was worried that I would say something strange again and cause misunderstandings, but all my worries were unfounded.

“Hmm. I see. I thought you hated being tied down.”

“But I’m sure Shivar likes being tied down?”

“hey.”

“Why? It’s right, right?”

No matter what, what can I do if I say something like that? Even though the rumors have already spread, I still feel embarrassed for no reason.

Dan Ye-rin also had a strange smile on her face, which was a funny reaction. If this continues, it’s not just Grace who will be interested in Kara either.

‘But Kara is so perceptive that she seems to know everything······’

While Grace only had a woman’s intuition, Kara had a warrior’s intuition as well.

The moment you start to suspect something between Dan Ye-rin and me, you’ll notice right away. I prayed that you wouldn’t be drawn into aggro.

“I always think about it, but you are popular. It doesn’t matter whether you are Eastern or Western, or even Tatar.”

“Now that you mention it, that’s true.”

“If this continues, won’t I become popular with the demons too?”

“··· ···”

I stabbed him roughly, but the area he was stabbed in was a vital spot. I barely managed to suppress my gasp.

Luna was also quite surprised, to the point where she kept her mouth, which was usually open, tightly shut. Currently, Dan Ye-rin has no idea who I am.

Furthermore, the fact that demons are always after me is not something that can be taken lightly as a joke.

“What if it increases?”

“hmm?”

“What do you think will happen if there are too many?”

So I took the joke as a joke. I could feel Luna’s surprised expression next to me.

But I tried to remain calm as much as possible. If I overreacted now, it would only arouse suspicion.

Fortunately, Dan Ye-rin also thought it was a joke and opened her mouth with a sly smile. As always, her tone was blunt.

“You’re popular with the demons… It’s not something to be taken lightly. If you do that, the gods won’t leave you alone.”

“I guess so.”

“If the devil is interested in you, then you must be of a high rank among humans or have some other secret. If we’re going to go with that······”

Dan Ye-rin trailed off slightly and looked at me blankly. Her eyes weren’t serious, but slightly crooked.

Her mouth was also forming a curved line in a smile. It was a look full of goodwill toward me.

Then she pointed to her eyes and said something heartbreaking.

“In your case, it would be the latter.”

“The secret of birth?”

“I should say so. In fact, I am also very interested in your secrets. In addition to your activities within the Forest of Chaos, your birth itself is also questionable.”

“··· ···”

As expected, it’s Dan Ye-rin. With just a few clues, she got closer to the truth.

If I had seen the demons paying attention to me, I would have figured it all out on my own. She’s that smart.

“Well, I will trust you no matter who you are. Even if you are a demon.”

“really?”

“Have I ever spoken nonsense? Even if later generations know I am possessed by the devil, it is enough if I can be happy.”

“That’s a strange thing to say.”

It was a meaningful comment, like Luna’s comment. Dan Ye-rin just shrugged her shoulders.

This is the factor that makes it impossible to evaluate her lightly. She seems complicated, but she is pursuing her own happiness.

Ascending to the throne is literally just for ‘survival’, and he is a person who would gladly give up the throne if his right to survival was guaranteed.

‘I guess I can slowly reveal to you that I am a descendant of the devil.’

The reason Dan Ye-rin says such things is because she is waiting for me to tell her the truth.

He’s the one who’ll trust me no matter what. I think I can let him know when everything’s done.

“Yerin.”

“Do you have anything to say?”

“Is it okay for Yerin to be called a wild man for the rest of her life?”

But why is Luna acting like that all of a sudden? We were talking about demons just now, but now she’s talking about wild people.

I didn’t quite understand it, but I believed that Luna had her own thoughts. Maybe.

“Doesn’t matter? Rather, it will be a special title for Shivarman. The Wild Shivar, I mean.”

“Title?”

“Yes. Warrior, swordsman, saint, king of destruction, heavenly horse, etc. Those with outstanding martial arts skills or achievements usually have titles. Wouldn’t Shivar be like that someday?”

“In the end, Shivar must carry the title of Wild Man from beginning to end.”

“That’s what it is. Well, if you commit an act that would cover up a wild man, then it’s a different story.”

Well, I wonder if that will ever happen.

Unless I go crazy and start slaughtering people all over the world, I’ll still be labeled a wild man.

And I’ll probably be misunderstood by the people of the world quite a bit. It’s much better than being the devil.

‘Come to think of it, I heard there are demons active in the East too… Rize will cover for you, right?’

I know that the field experience learning will also be accompanied by Lize. It will be difficult for the demons to commit such acts easily.

Even if purple appears, it’s not a problem, if necessary, you can ask the woman for help.

It may seem like they’d ask for my body in return, but I’d give it to them if it could save people.

‘What is that woman doing now?’

I hope you don’t do anything weird.

*****

Around the same time, in a mountain range in the East.

Cheonmasingyo, a religious group located on a mountain range that stretches out like a natural fortress.

The usual Cheonma Shingyo revolves around Cheonma, who is worshipped as the only god under heaven, but it is not loose.

Because they are stuck in the mountains, it is difficult to communicate with the outside world, so there are always various problems, and Cheonma tends to solve major problems himself.

Of course, there are times when the Heavenly Demon Sect, or the Demon Sect as it is also known, is extremely busy. A typical example of this is when a major problem occurs in the East.

A few decades ago, a civil war that engulfed the entire Huan Empire, not a civil war at all. To be exact, it is the story of a civil war between families.

At the time, the imperial family directly stepped in to stop it, but it was also a time when the power of the Demonic Cult was revealed in fragments.

“So, what happened to the information?”

“Oh, I’m sorry. Heavens, I haven’t gotten the information from the school yet…”

“I’ll give you one chance. If you don’t understand the schedule properly······”

The being that had occupied Shivar as his partner(?), Cheonma, mumbled the words and pressured the believers below.

Under the pressure, the believer barely managed to open his mouth, enduring the pain that tore through his insides.

“Thank you for your mercy. I will give my life so as not to disappoint you.”

“good.”

At Cheonma’s harsh command, the believers ran out in a hurry. They looked fierce, but Cheonma didn’t care.

Then she leaned back on the throne, almost lying down. Her expression was one of boredom.

“ha······”

Cheonma sighed as if something was bothering her. She muttered softly.

“I just realized now that time is so frustrating.”

It was Cheonma who realized anew the greatness of time.
