A Wild Man Has Entered the Academy - Chapter 565
565 – What kind of medicine did you take (5)
While Shivar was on hiatus and resuming his academy life, Lize was busy for various reasons.
First of all, the thing that I have to be most wary of is the story that I have been watching over. Even though I am staying with Luna, I am more worried because of that.
Because if Luna makes a mistake, she might face an irreversible situation.
Furthermore, she is a student. When she is away, Seol-hwa is left alone.
I could never just sit by and watch, because it was a being that would do anything if it got curious.
‘I actually had an accident from day one.’
There is a saying that opposites attract each other. Sulwha committed the same accident as Shivar, who possessed red magic.
Like climbing to the top of the newly built monument, or ringing the church bell out of the blue because you don’t like it.
These are accidents that are scary to even hear about, but they are only minor. Accidents that are even more serious could occur.
It is a myth that the Academy can be turned into a mess with just one punch. You can’t rest easy.
‘Brother Shivar must be curious about me too.’
Not only that, Shivar is also an object of caution, but in a different sense from the tale.
The things you’ve experienced so far have probably made you question yourself. You might be wondering who you are.
I would like to reveal this to you frankly, but I cannot. It is a personal matter.
So what we can do now is to stop him from making the wrong choice.
Furthermore, it is a matter of blocking in advance the lynx that is eyeing him.
“It’s been a while, Your Majesty.”
“I’m the one who thought you would come all the way here, Father, despite your busy schedule.”
Just like Father Alexander, who was dispatched to the academy. He had been dispatched before.
A long scar on his left cheek and bleached white hair.
He has an overall gentle impression, but he is a person who does not show mercy to ‘heretics’.
Of course, he was far from perfect compared to Lize, but he was someone you could never let your guard down with.
“How are you, Cardinal?”
“Yes. However, recently, the demons have become very active and they have become very busy.”
“I didn’t know Father Alexander would come here under these circumstances.”
Why did you crawl all the way here when you’re so busy? Do you have some other impure purpose?
When asked with that intention, Father Alexander simply replied that it was the Cardinal’s will, meaning that he could not reveal it.
In fact, Father Alexander asks where Shivar is, openly showing interest in him.
‘It seems you still haven’t let go of your doubts.’
Lize could sense that the Gaia Cult was not paying any attention to Shivar.
Well, I guess he must have had doubts because he was desperately defending himself at the time. It was inevitable.
“That student is currently in training. It’s a four-week training period, so it will probably be difficult to meet him for a while.”
“Ah. That’s the training you’re talking about. I’ve heard of it too. That’s too bad.”
A look of regret lingered on Father Alexander’s face. Lize leisurely drank her tea, not revealing her true feelings.
The timing was perfect. As soon as training was over, it was vacation time, so we could take Shivar somewhere else.
We have to somehow prevent these two from meeting, especially if they are alone.
“Will your majesty also be at the Academy?”
“I will return to my home country soon. The aftereffects of the disaster in the Huan Empire are still there.”
“I see. Excuse me, but could you tell me what kind of demons you encountered in the Hwan Empire? I heard that you fought them yourself, Your Lady.”
“I’d be happy to tell you that.”
Fortunately, it wasn’t long before a constructive topic arose: the devil was a public enemy.
Moreover, it is not blue but purple. Since two purple demons have appeared, we need to join forces.
“Two purple ones came out… Are you saying you faced them both?”
“That’s not it. Even for me, it’s difficult to deal with both at the same time.”
“Then who······?”
“Do you know the monster of the east?”
Lize indirectly expressed the existence of the story. It was an expression that only those who were deeply connected to religion could understand.
The monster of the East. Alexander swallowed his groan upon hearing those words and quietly opened his mouth.
“······Now that I think about it, the Hwan Empire declared the Cheonma Singyo religion as its official religion. There’s a lot of talk about that.”
“Isn’t there any talk of holding a temple?”
“It’s not that I don’t have any, but I put it off to a later date because I have too much to do.”
The external enemy is more urgent than the tumor raging inside. You can’t worry about the tumor when a knife is at your throat.
I don’t know whether to consider this a blessing or not. Lize smiled bitterly.
The word ‘holy war’ is probably being used not only in the Gaia Cult but also in the Gulag Cult.
How would Alexander react if he found out that the master and god of that cult was in the Academy?
Will they understand my inability to do anything, or will they use this for political purposes?
“But there’s one thing I’m curious about.”
“What is it?”
From noble mtl dot com
“Why did the leader of the heretics help the saintess fight the demons?”
Alexander expressed a genuine question, one that had political implications, but was also a natural one.
Little is known about the monsters of the East, or rather, the legends. Originally, the Demonic Cult itself was hidden deep in the mountains.
The only thing I can be sure of is that it is a being that goes against the laws of the world and is somewhat of a ‘mutant’.
Lize thought about how to respond and then decided. She thought she could respond like this.
“Would you believe that the monster fell in love with Brother Shivar?”
“What the hell is that… Big deal.”
Perhaps it was because the story was so absurd. Alexander was about to spit out a foul language without realizing it, but he quickly stopped himself.
But he couldn’t hide his expression of bewilderment. He asked if that was really true.
“······Excuse me, but I would like you to refrain from joking around. These are critical times.”
“That’s true. Anyway, I don’t know the details. I just know that they are hostile to the devil.”
“Hostile… I guess I could use it to my advantage.”
Will I be able to use it? Lize barely managed to suppress her laughter.
Originally he had his eye on Shivar, but now he is showing interest in the world itself.
I’ll gladly grant Shivar’s request, but if you cross the line, I’ll definitely get angry.
It would be better to exclude it from power. The help of the story was like a kind of drug.
‘The more help I receive, the more dependent I become.’
And the end will be destruction. Either way, the story is ultimately purple.
Beings that lack a significant amount of humanity and are therefore unapproachable. The previous warriors were similar.
“Okay, I understand. It’s a shame I can’t meet that student right now, but I have to do what I have to do.”
“Can you tell me what that task is?”
“It’s about gathering information and finding traces of demons. The monster rampage that occurred at the end of last year was very suspicious.”
“hmm.”
That part doesn’t matter. Lize has already told you that.
It was a disaster committed by a demon who had a strong hatred for humanity. It was summarized like this.
Until then, the religious community did not directly intervene because it was judged to be an individual’s deviation.
“By the way, can you tell me who comes from the Gulag Church?”
“I heard that a Tatar greeting will come. The Tatars can’t miss this opportunity either.”
“Tartar… I feel relieved.”
If you are a Tatar, you can trust them. Especially if you are connected with religion.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Tatar people were the most favored ethnic group by the Gulag.
“It seems that the saint trusts them. I am uneasy.”
“Are you worried that they might cause an accident? Maybe······”
“Ah. I’m not saying that I treat them like savages. But the problem is that there are many people who look at them that way. And aren’t they representatives of the religious order?”
There must have been political fighting within the Gulag Order as well, Alexander said.
That part was something that Lize had guessed, so she wasn’t particularly surprised. She just hoped that Tatar would do well.
Moreover, Hector is alive and well. Since he is alive and well, the Tartars will be able to exert quite a strong influence.
‘It’s a shame about Ragnarok, but there’s nothing I can do about it.’
Anyway, this conversation ended here. The two finished their constructive conversation and got up from their seats.
“I look forward to working with you in the future.”
“It’s me.”
The two men shook hands briefly and headed out. They were now at Lord’s residence.
Lord went out to take Pidgeontu for a walk. Just as he was about to go out,
“You were here.”
“?!”
An unacceptable presence was waiting outside. A look of confusion appeared on Lize’s face.
“I’ve been waiting.”
It was a fairy tale. As always, a woman wearing a dignified black dress.
It seems that Sibarne came here because he was bored while he was out training.
“Who is this Oriental?”
“Uh······ That······”
Lize rolled her eyes at Alexander’s question, not knowing what to say.
Would you believe me if I told you that this guy is the famous monster from the East? Probably not.
What if he was from a famous family in the East? That would be somewhat believable, but even Alexander would find it strange.
While Lize was shaking her head for the first time in a while, Seolhwa met Alexander’s eyes.
Alexander also met Seolhwa’s eyes. They stared at each other for a long time.
“I smelled something strange… You must be a believer in the Mother Earth.”
“Mother Earth? Oh, you mean Gaia?”
“Yes. Then you must know the majesty of God.”
The story that said so spoke confidently.
“Kneel down.”
“······yes?”
“I ordered you to kneel.”
When Lize heard that, she covered her face with her hands.
‘······I’m screwed.’
