A Wild Man Has Entered the Academy - Chapter 469



468 – To the East (1)

The academy is largely divided into two departments: combat department and non-combat department.

If you go below that, it gets categorized in more detail, but it’s not very meaningful.

And the combat science department is literally a combat science department and is a place that many countries are interested in.

A person with strong military force represents the military force of the country, and the military force of the country symbolizes national power.

This leads to various forms of support, and especially to the direct recruitment of talented commoners.

Then what about non-combat departments? Can we say that they receive less support than combat departments or that the country has no interest in them?

“Student Ellie. We have a guest today.”

“Where did you come from?”

“This time it’s the Granada Empire. I’d like to talk to student Ellie.”

Not at all. It’s not that we don’t support or don’t pay attention to non-combat positions.

On the contrary, they approach more secretly than combat troops and even offer bigger conditions.

No matter how strong the military is, it is meaningless without support, that is, supplies, from behind.

A strong military force obviously has a direct impact on national power. The problem is that the military has almost no ‘productivity’ due to its characteristics.

On the other hand, non-combatant occupations not only greatly contribute to productivity, but can also solidify the pillars of the nation.

So, if there is a talented person who stands out in the non-combatant sector, you can’t help but drool and try hard to recruit them.

While combat positions are actively recruiting people in an open battle, non-combat positions tend to be recruited through various complex connections.

“Um… I’ll be leaving for the East soon. Will it be okay after that?”

“Then I will make sure to convey it that way.”

“thank you.”

And Ellie, who is majoring in non-combat herbal medicine, is also one of the talents currently standing out in the academy.

In particular, she is popular in many ways compared to others. She has a cute appearance and a body that makes many men’s hearts flutter.

Because of this, many male students tried to seduce Ellie, but most of them did not turn out well.

It’s not like Shivar stopped him or anything, but lightning suddenly fell from the sky, or he was found charred at some point.

Because it was such a strange phenomenon, almost no one approached Ellie except for people from each country.

Because of this, Ellie didn’t have anyone she could call a ‘friend’, but she didn’t care. On the contrary, she thought positively.

‘You can concentrate more on your studies, right?’

First of all, I don’t have any friends in the non-combat department, but I have many friends in the combat department. Shivar and others.

Especially, just being next to Shivar filled my heart with happiness. Just being next to him was nice.

During the week, I study hard with a kind professor, and on weekends, I meet with Shivar to soothe my weary mind.

Just this alone fills Elida’s days with happiness. Although there are unfortunate incidents from time to time, she is able to shake them off.

“Student Ellie. Your potential is great, but I can’t let that potential rot away under me······”

“There’s still a lot I don’t know, Professor. I want to go to graduate school, even if it’s just for a year.”

And Ellie had a clear path: beyond graduating from the academy, she would go on to graduate school.

I plan to proudly acquire everything I know about herbal medicine and serve my country.

‘If a child is born in the middle, there’s nothing we can do about it.’

The other path was clear. Whatever it was, Ellie’s future was bright.

I want to study hard in the future to gain more knowledge and bear fruit with the person I love.

Even though there were some formidable women trying to seduce the man he loved, he didn’t care.

‘Just being by my side is enough.’

Just being by her side is enough. Ellie now thought back to their first meeting, more than a year ago.

I remember the fist of a giant monkey coming down from above my head. At that moment, I had a premonition that death was imminent.

But was it a god-sent weapon? A warrior appeared who not only blocked the punch, but also killed the monkey in an instant.

Although at the time he had a thick beard and his lower body was covered only by a strange giant scarf, it was enough to make me fall in love.

Even before his handsome appearance was revealed, he exuded a strong manly energy. Scars carved like pictures and solid muscles.

‘I feel like I’ll be safe just by being by your side.’

No matter what hardships came, as long as he was by Shivar’s side, he would be safe. That was what Eli thought.

I don’t know if I should call it an instinctive attraction. Just being next to Shivar makes me feel like all my worries and concerns disappear.

‘Or maybe I’m just attracted to you as a woman?’

Shivar is quiet, but it is like a lion yawning and taking his time.

The moment it roared properly, it emitted a courage that no animal could dare approach.

At the same time, it is instinctive for women to be attracted to anyone who enters their circle of friends.

Other women must have noticed that side of Shivar and approached him, Ellie thought simply and clearly.

‘By the way, I’m going to the East soon. Do you need anything?’

Ellie’s weekends are surprisingly busy. She visits the professor’s lab every week to conduct research together.

In fact, she has become an assistant beyond an assistant. The professor has also benefited greatly from Ellie’s talent.

She went out to take a break after doing some research in the lab. She didn’t forget to say hello politely when she left.

The professor, who looked like a kind grandmother, also looked at Ellie happily and waved at her.

“I want to see Shivar.”

Ellie muttered quietly as soon as she went outside. Although she has a positive mindset, she is not indefatigable.

That’s why Shivar was needed even more. It acts as a kind of filler.

Suddenly, I became envious of Grace, who met Shivar every day.

‘Let’s go to the president’s house first.’

If you’ve finished your research, all that’s left is to go to the president’s house, Lord. The next ‘safe place’ after Shivar is Lord.

No one can come to the place where the president lives, so all you have to do is make tea with the newly found herbs.

Also, other people, including Shivar, would occasionally come to visit, which also helped satisfy the pleasure.

-Knock knock knock

“Mr. President. It’s me. May I come in?

[Come in.]

As soon as I knocked and greeted him, the Lord’s permission to enter was granted.

Then Eli said, “Excuse me,” and went inside.

“huh?”

And as soon as I entered inside, I was able to see an unexpected scene.

The image of Lord sitting on the sofa leisurely drinking tea can be overlooked, because it is a familiar scene.

He could also overlook the large bird standing behind the road, the Pidgeon, staring blankly at him. It was a familiar scene.

However, Shivar, kneeling and looking at the wall, was not a scene that could be easily seen. It was a scene that anyone could see and say, ‘I’m standing there.’

There is only one thing that Shivar is worried about. Ellie blinked and asked Lord.

“President. Did Shivar have an accident again?”

Ellie added the modifier ‘again’ as if it was a given. It means that Shivar is a troublemaker.

At this, Lord nodded and opened his mouth as if it was no big deal.

“That’s right. Normally I would let it go, but this time I felt the need to give him a bit of a harsh scolding.”

“Is that it?”

Ellie’s eyes widened in question. Lord is strict, but he cares for Shivar.

Even if an accident occurs, if it is justified or a result of a failure to control one’s power, it tends to be overlooked.

But he carried out a punishment that was only suitable for a child, which was to stand facing a wall. Ellie also knows how scary that punishment is.

It was a seemingly simple yet incredibly boring fight with oneself. It must have been quite difficult for the impulsive(?) Shivar.

“What on earth happened?”

“He was bored so he used magic and ended up blowing up the entire floor of the building. According to Professor Godin, he was aware that his magic was dangerous.”

“··· ···”

“If you didn’t know, I can let it slide. But if you knew and still did it, I can’t tolerate it.”

The entire building floor was blown away. It was hard to tell what was happening, but considering Shivar’s power, it seemed to be badly damaged.

Ellie made a shaky expression and then turned her head to Shivar. He was still kneeling and looking at the wall.

Then she approached slowly and stuck her face out to check the expression.

“··· ···”

I could see Shivar sticking out his lips. He looked dissatisfied.

I pinched his cheek lightly because I thought it was so cute that he didn’t show any sign of reflection.

“Our Shivar. What were you bored with?”

“··· ···”

Shivar only glanced at Eli’s question once, but did not answer. Even if he was upset, he was still very upset.

Since he was the type to unconditionally admit when he was wrong, Ellie couldn’t help but feel puzzled.

‘Is there some kind of misunderstanding? Or is it puberty?’

While Eli was thinking useless thoughts, Shivar’s heavily shut mouth opened.

“······It was a mistake.”

“huh?”

“It was a mistake. I didn’t know it would happen.”

It was a mistake. Ellie became even more puzzled after hearing that.

I was about to ask him what mistake I made to deserve this.

“What makes a mistake a mistake? Experimenting to see if magic can be performed in another language is not a mistake.”

“······Another language?”

“They say they experimented with the language of the Huan Empire and the language of the Zhao Han. They were curious about what kind of effects each one had.”

“aha.”

“I understand now,” Ellie nodded.

From Shivar’s perspective, he probably didn’t think it would actually happen. Even if it did, he probably thought the output would be weak.

If it’s Shivar-like, then it’s a Shivar-like mistake. That’s why it was even cuter.

Ellie smiled bashfully, caressing his cheek. Whatever he did, he was lovely.

“How long have you been punished?”

“About 30 minutes have passed.”

“Wouldn’t that be okay?”

“It’s impossible until you reflect.”

“Hey, President. The longer corporal punishment continues, the more rebellious the person becomes.”

“hmm.”

After Ellie’s desperate persuasion, Lord Shivar ended his punishment. It seems he thought it made sense.

And as soon as the punishment was over, Shivar hugged Ellie tightly. He always did that whining thing whenever he saw her.

Ellie also didn’t panic as if she had expected it, and gently stroked his head. A warm smile was on her face.

“Shivar.”

“huh.”

“How long is this going to last?”

“For life.”

It was a satisfactory answer. Ellie listened to the complaint for a while and then moved away.

Shivardo’s mood had somewhat subsided, and he had returned to his characteristic expressionless face.

“I’ll be heading to the East soon.”

After the refreshments were prepared, Lord spoke first. He mentioned the field experience learning in the East.

“Yes. I’m already looking forward to it, I heard there are many mysterious herbs in the East. What about you, Shivar?”

“me too.”

“I hope you don’t cause any trouble when you go there.”

He said it with the nuance that Lord was anxious. It was Sivar who had already achieved great results(?) in Tatar.

There is no guarantee that similar things won’t happen in the East, or that you’ll get caught up in some strange incident.

“Hey. Don’t worry too much. Right, Shivar?”

“··· ···”

“Shivar?”

When there was no answer from Shivar, Eli asked again. Shivar scratched his cheek.

It’s a habit that comes out whenever something is bothering her. Ellie was able to confirm this because she had a hobby of observing Shivar.

“huh.”

Above all, that short answer seemed indifferent. Although Shivar always answered in the same tone, Ellie felt it clearly.

My instincts told me about the subtle and complex emotions inside me.

‘What the hell is going on?’

About two weeks left until heading east.

“Shivar.”

“huh?”

“Can you do it?”

“huh.”

“Okay. Let’s do it.”

I think thorough preparation is necessary.
