A Wild Man Has Entered the Academy - Chapter 478



477 – The State (3)

In most countries, even in modern times, there has always been a nobility or a class equivalent to it.

You might wonder why there are aristocrats on modern Earth, but a quick look at the constitutional monarchy will give you an idea.

The same is true for countries where democracy has been grafted. This is the case for owners of companies that have shown off their enormous wealth, that is, conglomerates.

Anyone who holds great power based on various forces can be called a noble. They have a tendency to exert great or small influence on the country.

Even in democratic countries where power is divided, it is difficult to tamper with these nobles. On the contrary, the same is true for nobles.

In fact, they remain in a symbiotic relationship because they know each other’s weaknesses and sore spots well. It’s a strange relationship where they check each other from time to time.

So then, why has humanity maintained this system from the time of the founding of civilization until now? The reason is simple.

Is power concentrated in the hands of the supreme leaders, that is, kings, emperors, presidents, prime ministers, etc.?

I’ll die of overwork before I turn into a dictator. It sounds like a joke, but it’s true.

Even the president of an ordinary company worries about the future, but what if that person is the head of a country?

It’s not for nothing that elected presidents age 10 or even 20 years when their term ends. They literally age rapidly.

That is why nobles or people of similar status appear to share their power. It is a custom that has continued from ancient times.

As these customs are maintained, history flows, and in the process, various incidents and accidents occur, changing the era.

However, there are nobles who have stood their ground steadfastly despite the storms of time and history, and these are extremely rare.

The Namgung Family of the Huan Empire has exactly that kind of history. It is a family with a long history that has continued with the birth of the Huan Empire.

He is a noble who takes care of the people of the capital, Changcheon, on behalf of the royal family, who are currently in turmoil.

A model of a prestigious family that is not lacking in tradition, martial arts, history, or wealth.

What is even more surprising is the character of the Namgung Se family. Although they occasionally come out as loaches, they are known for having great character.

That is why, historically, when a crisis arose, many people helped Namgung Se-ga, and Namgung Se-ga stayed with them until the end.

There is even talk that the Federation would rather have the Namgung family be the royal family.

Namgung Seok-dae is known for his strong competitive spirit and desire to win, but overall he is a person without any flaws.

‘I heard that’s why the home education was quite strict.’

It’s not that there are no negative effects. Anything that has been in place for a long time is bound to change.

Moreover, Namgung Se-ga is very strict in his home education because he is very concerned about what other people think.

Grace’s family is somewhat more coercive, although less so than the Duke of Berche.

Although this has led to many people becoming crooked, there are also cases where it serves as a negative example.

“Welcome, students. I am Namgung Hyeon, the eldest son of the Namgung family. It is an honor to welcome you to the Namgung family.”

A typical Eastern-style concubine greeted him politely, using the Huan Empire’s unique greeting of taking a lottery ticket.

He has a refreshing smile and a cheerful image. He is completely different from the blunt Eom Seok-dae, or rather Namgung Seok-dae.

‘Then what can I do? He’s such a poor person.’

I hate to say this, but that man I introduced as Namgung Hyeon has a very high chance of dying if a rebellion breaks out.

If you ask why, it’s because he is deeply connected to the royal family. Unlike his father, who declared neutrality, he sided with the royal family.

So, as soon as the rebellion broke out, he panicked and went to the imperial palace, where he died. It was a truly meaningless death.

‘Looking at this, it seems that the Namgung family head is really perceptive.’

To be honest, anyone can see that the next emperor is the crown prince. Nevertheless, the head of the Namgung family declared neutrality.

On the other hand, Namgung Hyun… what… what’s the point? What can you say to someone who’s going to die anyway?

I followed Namgung Hyeon, who had started guiding us. Other students also flocked in.

Oh. By the way, I wore the clothes I bought yesterday. They were surprisingly pretty and I liked them.

The problem is that I’m the only one who’s wearing it casually. The women who bought clothes yesterday were wearing ordinary clothes.

‘······Did I also fail at the battle of wits?’

Because of that, I couldn’t help but receive the attention of countless people. At least I left my hat behind.

But one thing that’s good is the convenience. It’s a well-ventilated outfit, so it’s cool whenever the wind blows.

“Brother Shivar, when did you buy those clothes?”

“I bought it yesterday.”

“I see. It suits you well.”

“thank you.”

Namgung Se-ga’s visit was also accompanied by Lize and Erica. Lize smiled softly at my words of thanks.

Erica next to him was busy looking around, as if she was very curious about Namgung Se-ga, who she was visiting for the first time.

When these two are side by side like this, their appearances seem strangely similar. However, their atmospheres and personalities are completely different.

‘It looks like Namgung Hyeon came because Lize visited.’

I understand that originally, it was not Namgung Hyeon but someone else who was supposed to be the guide.

But since the saint herself was visiting, the person with the second highest power after the head of the household would have been the guide.

Considering Lize’s authority and reputation, it would be difficult for the head of the household to step forward himself, but unfortunately, he is a heavy-handed person.

I don’t mean to be sarcastic, but the situation in the East is just like 5 minutes before a mess, so I can’t help but feel heavy-handed.

“Shivar. Then I’ll go and come back. Have fun.”

“huh.”

Eli, a non-combatant, headed to Namgung Se-ga’s herbal medicine shop. It was a similar process to the one in Tatar.

Soon, Namgung Se followed Namgung Hyeon and began to look around the place. It seemed like there was not just one mansion, but several mansions forming a village.

Considering that the village is only the size of one family home, many thoughts came to mind.

“”””under!!!””””

“100 million.”

It’s a surprise. The powerful shouts that hit my ears as soon as I entered the training ground.

A scene where numerous warriors are training in a martial arts field. One of the scenes often seen in martial arts films.

Other students besides me looked surprised, but Namgung Hyun smiled faintly and began to explain.

“You must have been very surprised. This is the future and present of our Namgung family.”

And sooner or later, they will all die in rebellion. I added to myself.

Looking at it this way, I have a lot of thoughts. Most of those people will die in the war.

Although the Allied Forces do not directly kill anyone, the rebellion causes the Huan Empire to fall into chaos.

As the army struggles against the rebels, the country falls into chaos, and hidden forces take advantage of the gap to surge forward.

‘Even if official duties are inviolable, it is absolutely unacceptable to do anything that would harm the country.’

One of the reasons for the inviolability of official duties is the conflict between powers. In the martial arts world, there are not only political factions like Namgung Se-ga.

Sapa and the Demonic Cult. These two forces are eyeing the martial arts world. The Demonic Cult is even sticking its teeth out towards the imperial family.

In this situation, a rebellion breaks out? It would be chaos so great that even the expression “pandemonium” is not enough.

‘He’s practically incompetent.’

At least Sapa should have been uprooted. Even if the Demonic Cult is inhabited by monsters, Sapa should have just been left alone.

They probably thought it was to keep the Namgung Sega and other political factions in check, but they didn’t know that they would be harmed.

But it won’t go down. There’s a saying that even if a rich man goes bankrupt, he’ll still be around for three years.

-Tingle!

It was around the time when I was looking around under Namgung Hyeon’s guidance that I suddenly felt a slight tingling sensation in my body.

It’s the voice of wild instinct. Someone is giving me a bad look right now.

A gaze that goes beyond simply expressing something bad, and even contains a murderous intent. It is a feeling I have felt countless times in the Forest of Chaos.

‘Who is it?’

There probably isn’t anyone here who would try to kill me. I looked around.

Then, there was one person whose eyes met mine, and he had a very striking appearance.

‘Is that the guy?’

‘Yes. That’s the student wearing Jo Han’s clothes.’

‘It doesn’t seem like there’s much of a strong energy at first glance······’

Guan Yu’s beard. Yes, that expression fits perfectly.

A middle-aged man with a much longer beard than me who lived in the Forest of Chaos.

I don’t know if he took better care of his beard than his hair, but it flowed down like a waterfall.

‘Still, I think you’d better be careful.’

‘Hmm. I’m looking forward to it. I guess we’ll have to see how strong the princess’s new puppy is.’

If you listen in quietly, you can probably guess who it is. In fact, you can’t help but know it just because of its appearance.

General Yilong, one of the Crown Prince’s closest associates and commanders of the military, is considered the strongest warrior in the Huan Empire.

You may ask why I chose him instead of Cheonma, but Cheonma is out of the norm. He is not even a human.

“My dear, be careful. The man you are seeing right now is General Yi-ryong.”

Dan Ye-rin, who had come up next to me without me noticing, spoke cautiously. She spoke in the language of the Hwan Empire in case someone heard.

There was a lot of tension and anxiety in his voice, as if he had judged that I would have to fight sooner or later.

While listening to Dan Ye-rin, an interesting thought suddenly occurred to me and I asked.

“Yerin.”

“hmm?”

“Does that guy care about his beard?”

Most people who grow beards tend to take good care of their beards.

I raised it because I had no choice, but it’s definitely not a dragon. Dan Ye-rin answered in a trembling voice.

“That······ rumor has spread far and wide that he is precious. Why do you ask?”

“Should I just pull it out?”

“······what?”

Dan Ye-rin was greatly embarrassed by my absurd suggestion. You can tell by the way her eyes widened.

But I didn’t care. The problem was that he sent me to live.

I looked at Dan Ye-rin, who was embarrassed, and said.

“Don’t you want to see? What will happen when your beard disappears?”

“··· ···”

“I’m curious.”

Dan Ye-rin’s reaction was that she was amazed.

[Faith rises!]

Look at this.

I’m sure Chaos is curious too.
