A Wild Man Has Entered the Academy - Chapter 468
467 – Each person’s preparation (5)
Marlboro sighed and muttered softly. People often call it a real deal.
When you don’t feel like putting on a mask, your inner emotions just burst out. This is something you usually say when you’re angry.
Contrary to his strict image, Marlboro is an ordinary father at home. He is a person who loves to play affectionately with his family.
However, since he is a person who works at the academy with ‘money’ and ‘recommendation from the country’, he must be careful not to become a real person.
When I see someone like that wanting to go home like a real person······it seems like he has a premonition that things will get tough from now on.
The only good thing was that the other students didn’t hear it. It seemed like the last ounce of reason had ordered them to keep their voices down.
If I had heard about it, it would have been grounds for disciplinary action at the very least. Well, Marlboro’s evaluation was good, so it probably wouldn’t have resulted in disciplinary action.
‘It’s going to be harder from now on.’
Besides, apart from the sadness, things are going to get even harder in the future. The East is caught up in the horrors of a rebellion.
The Academy officials did nothing wrong, but let’s think about who we have in our class.
There is a Dan Ye-rin who will hold a powerful right to the throne in the event of the Crown Prince’s death. She will definitely get involved.
Not only that, but even Lee Yeon-ju, who was part of the rebels. If Marlboro had known the future, he would have submitted his resignation immediately.
‘It would be difficult to protest and put pressure on other countries as well.’
Of course, the Academy gathers talents from each country and does not openly pressure the Huan Empire.
If all goes as planned, the Crown Prince’s assassination will occur and the borders will be closed. In fact, this is a normal measure.
It’s only natural that chaos would break out when the person who was to become the next emperor was suddenly assassinated.
Furthermore, since a rebellion broke out at such a time, it would be difficult for the Academy to take action.
“Did you all have a good rest? I’ll give you a rough idea of what’s on the schedule for the second semester.”
While I was thinking about something else for a moment, Marlboro opened his mouth. As always, he returned to his solemn tone.
He told me one by one what was scheduled for the second semester, but honestly, the second semester schedule is not important.
Because I will spend most of my time in the East. When the Prince’s assassination incident occurs, I will have to stay there for about 1~2 months.
Other countries will probably try to bring in their own talents, but it won’t be easy, as major incidents keep happening one after another.
“First of all, starting from the second semester, we plan to reduce the amount of theory and focus on practical classes. It will be convenient if theory and practical classes are conducted simultaneously······”
Marlboro’s explanation continued. Starting from the second semester, the schedule is practically filled with only practical training, with both theory and practice taking place simultaneously.
Starting from the third year, you will be going beyond practical training to actual practice, so the second semester is the real start. This is where quite a few students will drop out.
Furthermore, if a rebellion breaks out in the East, there will be a lot of students who become mentally unstable.
“First of all, the first practical training that we will conduct is for each job group······”
Marlboro’s explanation continued. Then suddenly, a question occurred to him.
‘What happens to the assistant?’
The teaching assistant position is not a position that you have to hold for each semester, but for one year. Therefore, this means that you have to hold the position of teaching assistant for the first year as well.
But I couldn’t hear anything about the assistant position in Marlboro’s explanation. I was about to raise my hand because I was curious about this part.
“Can I ask you a question?”
There was someone who raised his hand before me. The students, including me, looked in that direction.
Karas, a person whose face I hadn’t seen before thanks to returning to the Matra Empire during the vacation, was raising his hand.
He had a friendly smile, but his expression was also somewhat repulsive. However, his gorgeous looks covered it up.
“Speak.”
“I wonder what happens to the teaching assistant position.”
“Assistant······ The position will proceed as planned. However, unlike the first semester, the frequency will not be as high.”
I saw clearly that Marlboro was glancing at me, his words trailing off.
It looks like he forgot as well. Doesn’t that mean he’s absent-minded?
Since it would be over once we saw Reina’s face anyway, it wouldn’t be a big problem. Moreover, it would take up all the time in the East.
“Lastly, just like we went to Tatarstan for field experience learning in the first semester, we will be going to the East for field experience learning in the second semester, so please keep that in mind. I hope you don’t do anything rude there.”
This time, instead of glancing at me, he looked around at all the students and said, probably referring to racism and culture.
The cultural differences between the West and the East are very severe. It can be said that the cultural differences are even more severe than those of the Tatars.
Since Tatar is centered on trade, they are familiar with the language and culture of each country and naturally tend to adapt to each other.
Although it is a romantic country between civilization and barbarism, I have never experienced any cultural inconveniences. The weather was so hot that I thought I would die.
But it’s not the East. Because of the cultural differences, it’s possible that you might unintentionally be rude.
“I’ll let you know the detailed schedule a week in advance, so be aware of it. Ignorance is not a crime, but openly revealing that ignorance can be a crime.”
It is said that she should study about the culture of the East. Luna learned various etiquette from Dan Ye-rin.
Grace is from a noble family, so she would know this to some extent, and Kara is basically far from rude.
Rather, it’s probably because of his generous personality that he’s popular in many ways. I’ll just let it go, thinking it’s because of his skin color.
“I hope that we have a second semester without any injuries or accidents.”
Finally, Marlboro walked out of the classroom, revealing his true feelings that were not his true feelings.
Soon, a familiar face, Godin, came in and the first day of class continued.
The first day is, as always, orientation. It’s about explaining what the schedule will be like.
But Godin is a magician, and Marlboro said that classes will be focused on practical training from the second semester onwards. What does this mean?
“You will face various situations in the future. Most of them will depend on how you respond using magic.”
It is time to be hit by Godin’s magic. How to deal with each magic is the main content of the practice.
It’s okay for wizards because they know the basic methods, but it’s a difficult practice for warriors.
That’s why I taught you the basics of language and magic in the first year. You all probably know how magic works.
“The principle of magic is language itself. If you write the wrong letters or say the wrong words, the magic won’t work as you want. That’s why the method of dealing with it seems easy, but it’s difficult.”
The mechanism of operation is so simple that it is easy to deal with, but paradoxically, the caster also has a countermeasure for this.
Godin explained the theory in a friendly tone. It was a very important lesson, so the students listened attentively.
“Let’s say there’s a caster trying to cast a spell right in front of you. How can you effectively defend against the spell?”
Godin’s questions continued. The students each answered in their own way.
Attack first. It’s better to prepare in advance. Etc. It’s a good method in its own way.
By the way, Kara came up with the answer of shooting lightning. Although it is her own way, Godin praised it as a good method.
‘I just need to get hit with my body.’
And I didn’t answer at all. I just had to apply magic to my body.
I’m used to lightning, one of the Soul World’s evil abilities. What can magic do to me?
In fact, not only magic, but most attacks themselves do not work on me. It is difficult unless you are a skilled player like Lord.
-Swoosh
Still, I have to get good grades. It’s a good idea to take Godin’s class.
Godin flinched for a moment when I raised my hand, but soon smiled kindly and offered me his hand.
“Yes, Mr. Shivar. Go ahead.”
“Throw a stone at the wizard’s mouth?”
I answered as reasonably as I could. Since words are important in casting magic, you should just attack the mouth.
It doesn’t matter how you do it. Just make them speechless and that’s the end of it.
Godin was initially taken aback by my answer, but soon he nodded, perhaps judging that it made sense.
“I guess I can just take it as it’s just interfering with the magic itself?”
“yes.”
“That’s a good method. It’s one of the methods I’ll have to use when the time comes.”
They say that interpretation is better than the dream. Godin gave a pretty good interpretation.
‘Actually, the best way would be to run and pull out the tongue······’
I didn’t say anything because I was afraid I would be treated like a wild person again.
“Isn’t it difficult to throw a stone and hit it exactly in a person’s mouth?”
“That’s something only Mr. Shivar can do, so let’s skip it. The professor packaged it nicely for us too.”
Luna and Grace were whispering next to me, but I tried to pretend not to notice.
*****
As school began, students, professors, and staff alike all began to do their own work.
Here, outsiders, namely Saint Lise, were not left out. She too prepared for what was to come.
Among them, there was one thing that could be said to be the most important······
“Remember, even if you see a demon, do not use your divine powers recklessly. Especially not when Mr. Shivar is around. Do you understand?”
“yes!”
“If you don’t listen to me this time, it won’t end with just corporal punishment.”
The East is coming soon. Rize is not the only one heading to the East.
Her disciple and member of the Church of Life, Erica. Erica will also be going.
Erica gave a polite answer to Lize’s request, but soon opened her mouth in doubt.
“But, your majesty.”
“Please speak.”
“Why am I going with you? I’m a student from a different class······”
“So you don’t like it?”
“no.”
It was Erica who was undergoing renovation in various ways.
