A Wild Man Has Entered the Academy - Chapter 562



562 – What kind of medicine did you take (2)

The training schedule that will be replaced by the final exam has been set, so all that remains is to prepare for that training.

The only way to prepare is to get enough rest before then. You have to wait while conserving as much energy as possible.

All I have to do during that time is hang out with my friends or laze around Lord’s residence.

“A potion that allows me to stay awake for a whole month?”

“huh.”

I also needed to check on Ellie’s growth. I went to see her over the weekend.

Well, I didn’t go there in person, I just met her at Lord’s residence. Ellie usually comes here every weekend.

By the way, Lord is currently out for a bit on business. He took Pidgeontu with him when he went out.

As Pidgeontu grows bigger, I have to start taking him for walks more often. I am raising him with lots of affection.

“Um… Shivar, you mean a stimulant? Something that increases concentration to the max.”

“Similar.”

“Are you trying to study?”

Perhaps it’s because I’m a non-combat major and an honor student at that. They think I’m asking for such a favor to study.

But I am far from studying letters. Even if I were close, I can’t go without sleep for a whole month.

I just want to know the maximum. Of course, that doesn’t mean I want to study.

“I was just curious. I might use it later.”

This training will be used as a test. To be honest, it is too much for me to train nonstop for a whole month.

Especially sleep. Even I, living in the Forest of Chaos, needed a nap every now and then.

I was able to survive to some extent thanks to my wild instincts, otherwise I would have died several times.

The actual battlefield would be similar to or even worse than the Forest of Chaos. You could even consider the worst case scenario.

“Hmm······ Well, I don’t know, but you guys might need it. Sometimes, even if it’s really hard, you have to endure it.”

“huh.”

“But can I take something like that? Won’t the professor say anything?”

“well?”

Actually, I was a little worried about this part. I know that using items was prohibited in Soul World as well.

In the first place, it is better to prevent the player from carrying the item itself. However, there is a trick to this.

Drinking a potion right before training begins, or hiding an item where you equip your weapon.

In terms of games, it’s like putting a potion in the right hand slot where you wear your sword. This way, you can hide it.

‘Even so, if we get caught, our training will be stopped immediately.’

Especially in the case of potions, there is a high possibility of being caught. At least a stimulant in pill form is needed.

Ellie nodded, lost in thought, as if she had taken this part into consideration. I waited silently, staring intently at her face.

A face as pretty as that of a noble lady, and golden eyes that sparkle like amber. Clean and white skin, as expected from a girl from a rural village.

Here’s an overwhelmingly excellent body. It was a pleasure to look at, whether from above or below.

‘Didn’t the story say before that the spirit of death was lurking around Ellie?’

He even left a comment saying that it wouldn’t be strange if he died several times already. Looking at this, there must be something.

It’s okay now that I’m under Porori’s protection, but… who knows, maybe I’ll get entangled with demons in the future.

It’s not like the purple transcendent Sulhwa can see what the Lies and Asuras can’t see.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

“Did I stare too intently?” asked Ellie, snapping out of her reverie.

Judging from the slightly flushed cheeks, she seemed a little embarrassed. I answered bluntly.

“Because it’s pretty?”

“Oh my. You speak so beautifully.”

-side!

Ellie caressed my cheek like dough, and then lightly kissed me on the mouth.

It was fortunate that no one was in Lord’s residence, but if someone else had seen it, there would have been a little uproar.

I endured Ellie’s aegyo for a while and then quietly opened my mouth. I have to get things done first.

“So, is it possible?”

“Yeah, it’s possible.”

As expected, it’s Elida. A talented person who shows genius in herbal medicine, such as potions, that is on par with Jane.

Since we have been investing steadily up until now, the growth rate will be quite high. If we only consider the level, it will probably be higher than Luna.

“It depends on who you are measuring against. Stimulants are drugs that draw energy.”

“Pull?”

“Yeah. It’s either drawing on the minimum amount of energy needed to survive. Or tricking the brain.”

According to Ellie’s explanation, there were two endings to the stimulant.

One is a stimulant that draws in and uses remaining energy, or in Eastern terms, ‘innate energy’.

The other is a stimulant that drugs the brain into thinking, ‘I’m fine.’

Whatever it is, the aftereffects are bound to be severe. The aftereffects go without saying.

“What about the energy? Isn’t it in the stimulant itself rather than in the body?”

“That’s the latter, after all. It tricks your brain into not feeling tired. Once you fall asleep, you’ll sleep all day long, right?”

“Then how many days can a person not sleep?”

“Normally, if you don’t sleep for two weeks, you die. The training you mentioned will also let you sleep in between.”

Humans have three major desires: the desire for sleep, the desire for food, and lastly, the desire for s*x.

Of these, the strongest desire is the desire for sleep. I can endure my appetite and s*xual desires, but I can’t endure my desire for sleep.

There is a famous anecdote about a soldier who slept while bullets and shells were flying in the battlefield. That shows that sleep is necessary for all living things.

‘Even in the wild, there are no animals that do not sleep at all, let alone sleep lightly.’

Right now, I’m half-conscious due to my wild instincts, but I’m still asleep.

Ultimately, you have to choose between these two options, both of which are detrimental to your body.

‘Innate wisdom is a concept similar to life force, and deceiving the brain······’

It’s something I can use and give to Luna. You may ask why Luna and not Kara.

In the future, not only will you be fighting real battles, but you will also be fighting more frequently against demons. There will be endless crises.

Every time, it’s something I can’t do. So, I keep the worst case scenario in mind.

“Can’t we minimize the side effects?”

“Is it possible? I don’t do much research on that side, so it’ll take a long time.”

“Then is it possible to make it over the weekend?”

“I can make you a few prototypes. Make sure they have as few side effects as possible.”

As expected from Elida. It must have been a sudden offer, but you made it so quickly.

It was worth the effort to nurture her so far. I thanked her.

“Thank you. Is there anything you need?”

“If you’re grateful, hug me and kiss me roughly.”

“··· ···”

It seems like his cheeky side is getting more and more serious day by day. But he’s still lovable, so that’s okay.

I smiled and hugged her gently instead of saying anything. She smiled back and hugged me back.

-Wobbling

The pressure in our chests is palpable as we hug each other tightly. Just hugging like this makes us feel at peace.

They say that hugging makes loneliness go away, and I could really understand that. My eyes closed on their own and the corners of my mouth went up.

“You’re not going to kiss me?”

After a long hug, Ellie whispered in my ear. It was a very demanding request.

I should be happy to grant that request. I pushed her away slightly and faced Ellie.

Her cheeks were flushed with a blush. Her eyes were moist as a bonus.

Move our faces closer to each other like this······

-Knock knock knock!

[President? Are you inside?]

······I wish it was, but someone interrupted. It was a familiar voice.

We quickly fell down when we realized that someone was outside.

As soon as she fell, a deep regret appeared on Ellie’s face, but there was nothing she could do about it.

Finally, she got up from her seat and asked the guest outside.

“Who are you? Luna?”

[Ah. It’s Ellie. Is the president inside?]

“No. She went for a walk with Pidgeon. Come in for now.”

The door opened and Luna appeared, interrupting our cozy atmosphere.

“Huh? Why did you let your hair down?”

As Ellie wondered, Luna’s hair is not in a ponytail, but just straight.

For both men and women, changing the hairstyle you usually wear indicates a change of heart.

“Oh. I ran out of hair ties. I’ll have to buy some later.”

Luna doesn’t have that. She has straight hair for a really simple reason.

But since the original was pretty, that went well with it too.

“By the way, what were you two doing here? Your faces are both red.”

“Uh, yeah?”

“Did you even kiss?”

“I wish I could just keep my mouth shut,” Ellie responded with a laugh at Luna’s blunt words.

Luna looked at me, either vaguely noticing or not really caring. Why am I looking at her?

“By the way, why are you here?”

“Ah. I had an appointment to train with the president today. But I think I got the time wrong.”

“Then stay here. The president will be here soon. Oh, and there’s something I talked to Shivar about······”

Ellie looked at me, her voice trailing off. It was a silent sign asking if it was okay for her to talk.

I didn’t really care since I was going to give it to Luna anyway. Then Ellie started explaining about the stimulant.

Luna, who had been listening to the story of the stimulant I wanted for a long time, was puzzled at first, but then showed a surprised expression when she heard the performance.

“Is it okay to take that? Won’t the professor find out?”

“Are you sure it’s okay? And this is just for testing purposes.”

“You don’t think I carry that with me all the time?”

You’re really quick-witted at times like this. I nodded.

Luna showed a reaction of incomprehension for a moment, but soon became lost in thought.

Did he have an intuition that a difficult road lay ahead, or was he thinking about something else?

“Okay. Just use it whenever you’re in danger.”

She gave permission coolly. Thanks to that, I felt relieved.

“Then what are you going to name it?”

“name?”

“You can’t keep calling it medicine. If someone sees it, they might mistake it for a drug.”

That’s right. There are actually drugs going around in the academy.

Since most of the sources are from the herbal medicine field, if you are suspicious, you will face an awkward situation.

So it’s better to use a name to express it indirectly. I was troubled when I heard that.

“Hmm······”

There’s only one thing I can think of right now. I looked around and opened my mouth quietly.

“······caffeine?”

“It’s more like a drug. Aren’t there any drugs similar to that?”

“heroin?”

“I think so.”

This b*tch? I snapped, feeling a little upset.

“Then you build it.”

“hmm······”

Luna seemed to think for a moment, then snapped her fingers as if a good idea had occurred to her.

“Steam pack?”

“··· ···”

“Doesn’t it seem like things will get faster?”

This Terran b*tch.
