A Wild Man Has Entered the Academy - Chapter 567



567 – While They Were Away (2)

Lize decided to talk to Alexander after he was safely sent away.

Fortunately, when Alexander came to his senses, he didn’t feel anything strange, and all memories of his conversation with Seolhwa had disappeared.

After that, Rize and Seolhwa were left alone in Lord’s residence. Rize finished preparing light refreshments.

“I’m telling you in advance that the knowledge I can provide is limited.”

“Why?”

“I can’t tell you that either. Even you would be nearly impossible to figure out.”

“like.”

Seolhwa let out an exclamation of interest. She, too, couldn’t take Lize’s words lightly.

There must be a reason for her to make such a statement. She looked at the refreshments Lize had brought.

Ordinary biscuits and coffee. I’ve had coffee before during my break. It’s a mysterious drink with a sweet yet bitter taste.

“Is there any more sugar?”

“Sugar······?”

“I don’t really like bitter things.”

“··· ···”

If I had known this would happen, I should have brought hot chocolate. Lize thought about that for a moment, and brought sugar cubes instead.

Seol-hwa smiled with satisfaction after seeing that and put a few pieces of sugar into her coffee. After all, snacks are better when they are sweet.

The so-called childish taste. Excluding the atmosphere, if you look at the appearance alone, it secretly suits them well.

“It’s delicious.”

“Thank you. Next time, I’ll bring hot chocolate.”

“Hot chocolate?”

“There’s something much sweeter than this.”

And that’s what kids love. Lize swallowed her words with a smile.

Seolhwa wanted to read her mind, but… unfortunately, it was impossible.

If Shivar couldn’t read her mind at all, Lize was good at defending herself. When she tried to read it, it was all muffled, like noise.

So when I felt like it wasn’t going to work out, I just gave up. It was just a waste of energy and a hassle.

“Do whatever you want. As long as you don’t get poisoned, it doesn’t matter.”

“It looks like you’ve drunk poison.”

“Countless times. None of it worked.”

Seolhwa’s body was always in perfect condition. Lize stared at her intently.

If you were to pick the most difficult creature to deal with among all the existing purple creatures, it would definitely be Sulwha.

Physical means are completely ineffective, and even space is useless. Even time can be interfered with, albeit indirectly.

That’s why I can’t help but be on guard. Right now, I’m glad I have feelings for Shivar, but on the other hand, I have no backbone.

Let’s say Shivar does as he pleases. What if Shivar harbors evil intentions?

Seolhwa will gladly grant his request. There is absolutely no stopping her.

‘I don’t even know where I’m going.’

The existence that can produce the best and worst results at the same time is Seolhwa. It is natural to be wary.

While Lize was pondering inwardly, Seolhwa, who had finished drinking her coffee, opened her mouth.

“So, are you willing to tell us about the Earth Mother?”

The topic was none other than Gaia. When Lize heard that question, she looked at the story.

A curious expression. A special expression that he makes whenever he expresses interest.

I guess you must have been curious about the current status of Gaia, which is currently so quiet that it’s as if it were dead.

“As I said before, I can’t tell you everything. Even if I don’t know the hints.”

“Can you give me a hint?”

“How many times have you used all your powers, Seolhwa?”

Have you ever used electricity? Seolhwa thought deeply after hearing that question.

Except for the fact that he was almost killed by the Blue Dragon right after he was born, it can be said that he is virtually non-existent.

Even during the bloody battle with the Azure Dragon, he did not use his full power. This is a tale of someone who was born as a purple transcendent being.

On the contrary, I understand that the Blue Dragon was consistently pushed back due to a failure in power control.

‘I think the most recent time was when I fought that devil.’

Even that is closer to saying that he gave it his all rather than just giving it his all.

Moreover, since Shivar was nearby, I was as cautious as possible.

“No. Why do you ask that?”

“When the purple beings use their full power, they can literally cause phenomena beyond natural disasters. You probably know best.”

“You mean that pitch-black space?”

“If you’re talking about space, then yes.”

Even though I held back, the space shattered and the universe beyond the sky was revealed.

But even that was far from an all-out effort, so Seol-hwa expressed doubts.

“Is that all?”

“No. According to legend, when purple and purple collide with full force, not only space but even time is distorted.”

“Interesting. So the reason Gaia fell asleep was because she collided with someone with all her might?”

“I can’t tell you in detail, but······”

Lize seemed to think for a moment, then sighed and opened her mouth.

“That’s not it.”

“hmm?”

“What I can tell you is that the potential of purple is that strong.”

“It sounds like there’s more to it than just time warping.”

Lize remained silent, neither confirming nor denying.

But silence is soon affirmation, Seolhwa said, looking at her hands.

Thanks to his body always being in top condition, his hands could literally be called delicate.

“Is that possible for you too?”

“It is possible if you have the effort and the desire to cut through the bones and flesh to achieve it.”

“It sounds like you’re talking to Mother Earth, not to your real wife.”

I became more and more curious. What did Mother Earth, Gaia, do?

Since Lize specifically mentioned ‘time’, it must have something to do with it. And there’s one more thing.

“How come you know these things?”

“··· ···”

“You can’t say it, I guess. Is that what chaos says?”

“Yes. Even you cannot break the will of chaos.”

“Even if your neck is broken?”

A threat delivered in a nonchalant voice. The tone was calm, but it felt all the more sinister because of it.

But Lize didn’t even show a flinching reaction. Rather, she seemed to be showing her composure, even drinking coffee.

If you want to do it, do it. But you will never know the truth. That’s how Seolhwa accepted it.

“Huh. It’s not fun.”

In the end, Seolhwa took a step back first. Curiosity had been aroused, but it had let out a puff of steam.

What makes me even more upset is that my interest hasn’t been quenched. Since I’m involved with Shivar, I can’t treat him carelessly.

“I see why you brought this up. Do you need my help?”

“Snow Flower is only a last resort. For now.”

“As a last resort… It sounds like what humans call the ultimate weapon.”

“That’s correct. Brother Shivar is still too weak. We have to wait until he grows up.”

Objectively speaking, Shivar is not weak. Rather, he is overwhelmingly stronger than others.

But Lize thought differently. She seemed to be expecting something other than mere force.

Seolhwa also noticed that part and opened one eye, but soon passed it by. That wasn’t important right now.

“So what do you want to do? If you want to grow Shivar, I can help you.”

“Thank you. However, I recommend that you avoid getting too close if possible.”

“Why?”

“Don’t you know very well? Who is inhabiting Brother Shivar?”

As you know, there is a strong entity planted there that can even repel the interference of the fairy tale.

But rather than being planted, it felt more like a ‘root’.

However, Shivar’s gender was clearly ‘male’, separate from his roots. This is a bit unusual.

“So you’re saying you can’t handle that power yet?”

“That’s correct.”

“What would happen if the woman woke me up forcibly?”

“What happens?”

Lize took a sip of her coffee as if it was nothing special.

“All life on this world will disappear.”

The destruction of the world.

*****

While Seolhwa and Lize were having a serious conversation.

Sivarne was busy with the training that had just begun.

I thought it was just hell training, but in reality it was much more hellish than that.

“Why can’t you run faster? You won’t stop!”

“Eww!”

Climbing the mountain with all your might was the most basic of the basics.

The students climbed all the way up, suppressing the burning pain in their thighs.

Of course, people with outstanding physical abilities like Shivarna Kara and Luna easily endured it.

Rather, they encouraged other students and pushed them from the back, saying that they couldn’t give up anymore.

“Grace. Fighting. Stay strong.”

“Hehehehehehehehe I just········· got eliminated······”

“no.”

In particular, Shivar took Grace, who was known for her poor stamina, to the end.

Grace was dying, but she couldn’t disappoint Shivar, so she held on until the end.

The professors also saw this and did not put any particular restrictions on it. Of course, there was a bit of a ‘deal’ involved here.

‘Student Shivar. I have a favor to ask of you.’

‘What is it?’

‘Can you guide the physically weak students? If you do, I’ll give you more points.’

‘I don’t need points.’

‘Then you get a free buffet pass for one month.’

‘I’ll do as you say.’

The deal was made roughly as above. From Shivar’s perspective, there was no reason to refuse.

It also increases Grace’s physical and mental strength, so it’s killing two birds with one stone.

“Next, lift this log. The more students who use their brains, the heavier the log becomes.”

“Ah. That’s fortunate.”

The log lift was relatively better. If Shivar was in the center, he could just secretly release his strength.

But it’s not like the professors don’t know this. If there was one student, they might not know, but if there were two or more, they added a special order.

“Student Shibar.”

“yes?”

“Climb up the log. Shivar students first develop a sense of balance.”

“yes?!”

“Th-what does that mean?!”

With Shivar climbing up the log, the students were finally able to pull off the trick.

After a day of hardship and suffering, the evening came. I thought I would rest in the evening, but······

“Students who want to rest can rest. Instead, professors will come and check on you.”

“What if I sleep?”

“I’ll be abandoned in some forest.”

“··· ···”

Even that wasn’t easy. In the end, most people either slept lightly like herbivores or just held out.

This was a difficult task even for Kara and Luna, and the stamina drain was extremely severe.

“Student Shibar.”

“··· ···”

“Student Shivar? Are you sleeping?”

“Go.”

“hmm.”

Of course, thanks to his wild instincts, Shivar was able to remain conscious while sleeping.

In a difficult situation in many ways, after about three days had passed.

“I miss my mom······”

“I am the father······”

“Why am I going through all this······”

Already, cries were erupting from all over.

“under······”

“Luna. Isn’t there anyone you want to see?”

“What about me?”

“Uh······ Okay.”

At the same time, Luna’s snout also began to unlock.
