A Wild Man Has Entered the Academy - Chapter 568
568 – While They Were Away (3)
When the stamina of the other students, except for Shivar, was gradually decreasing.
The non-combatant troops were busy studying for their final exams.
Unlike combat positions, which are physically and mentally busy, non-combat positions are relatively relaxed.
Of course, this is only a loose fit, and it doesn’t mean that it’s not difficult. They also have their own difficulties.
“Why is my score like this?!”
“Oh, shit. I really want to kill this group project.”
“Hehehe. If I fail this test too, I’ll fail the grade. Hehehe.”
“Isn’t there a place where I can hang myself?”
In particular, unlike combat positions, they are very sensitive to ‘performance’, so it is safe to say that everyone is a competitor.
While combat positions are frequently scouted by each country, non-combat positions have difficulty standing out.

That is why I have no choice but to study, write papers, and collaborate with professors with a heavy heart.
As United Academy is famous for being the best academy in the world, there are many geniuses everywhere.
Eventually, some students cannot endure it and make extreme choices, but these cases are passed off as a kind of ‘happening’.
“Ellie, what are you planning to do for your final exam?”
“Ah. There’s a drug I’m researching right now.”
Of course, there is another sky above the sky, and there is a genius above genius.
Ellie, a student who was in the process of completing herbal medicine but had virtually graduated early, was just like that.
The grades are already all yours and even the professor is like, “Do whatever you want.” So, the test is also a pass.
“There’s a drug you’re researching? Could you tell me a little bit about it?”
The professor, who was almost like a kind grandmother, spoke in her characteristically soft voice. She really seemed like a kind grandmother.
But she is an academy professor. She is someone who wants to see the achievements of outstanding students.
If you spread the rumor that you raised that student, your reputation will naturally rise.
In fact, he is treated as a semi-direct disciple because he has provided Ellie with so many conveniences.
“It’s the stimulant I told you about before. I want to study it more.”
“That drug is still great. Didn’t it undergo clinical trials?”
Originally, clinical trials required the consent of not just one professor, but multiple professors.
Especially if it’s a drug invented by a student, because there’s no way to know what side effects it might have.
But the herbal medicine professor ignored the keynote. Even if he had said that, Ellie would not have listened anyway.
“I did it, but there was a slight side effect? Something similar. I couldn’t control my excitement and kept laughing.”
“I see. You used arancho, right? Try reducing that.”
“Thanks for the advice. I’ll be going now!”
“Thank you for your hard work this semester.”
Ellie waved at the professor and left. She was free from worry about exams.
As I said before, I made a deal with the professor to pass all the exams in exchange for writing only a few pages of the paper.
Of course, his name is on the paper. He is already treated as a half-graduate student by the professor.
In fact, Ellie also thought about working as a graduate student after graduation, so she didn’t take it seriously.
‘Shall we go see Ms. Jane today?’
Ellie hummed as she walked down the hallway, drawing the gazes of many students.
With her pure beauty and voluptuous body, typical of those from the countryside, these two things alone made Ellie the object of admiration for many students.
Although there were some students who had bad tempers, Ellie was safe. This was due to two reasons.
First of all, all the students who harbored ill feelings for her were roasted in lightning.
Students were reluctant to approach her because it was a kind of curse-like phenomenon.
Secondly, there is a rumor that she is dating Shivar, who is famous in the combat force.
Even non-combatant students are well aware of the famous student’s reputation(?).
‘It’s pretty, but if you touch it, it’ll kill you, right?’
‘That wild man doesn’t discriminate between nobles and professors.’
‘Don’t touch it for no reason and you’ll just see blood. Don’t come near it.’
Thanks to that, Ellie was able to grow into a great warrior. Although she didn’t really care about it.
If I were her friends, there would be many in the combat unit. One of them would even be her boyfriend whom she loves dearly.
A boyfriend who lacks nothing compared to other men. Every time I think of his face, the corners of my mouth go up.
‘But I haven’t seen you for a month······’
Of course, I became depressed as soon as I realized that I wouldn’t be able to see you for a month.
How am I going to get through this month? First of all, I plan to go see Jane.
Jane is a year older than me, but we are practically friends. It’s not that I’m easygoing.
What should I say? I guess he has a strong tendency to be alone, so I want to take care of him for various reasons.
-Knock knock knock
“Sister Jane. Are you in there?”
Ellie knocked on the door of Jane’s studio, and a thumping sound was heard from beyond the door.
It seems like something was being made inside. It happens like this every time.
[Hey, come in!]
Jane’s permission was granted from inside. Ellie opened the workshop door with a light heart.
As soon as I opened the workshop, I felt a warm heat. It’s the warmth I feel every time I enter the workshop.
Inside stood Jane, wearing overalls and with soot smeared on her face.
“Oh, it was Ms. Ellie.”
“Yeah. What have you been doing up until now? You weren’t skipping class again, were you?”
Ellie felt comfortable with Jane. They were both non-combatant types, and Jane had something in common with her.
In response to her question, Jane smiled awkwardly and scratched her cheek. It was a reaction to being caught.
“Well, but the professor was considerate. He said I didn’t have to come to class anymore······”
“What? Really?”
“Yes. Instead, he asked me to show him the results.”
“Are you the same as me, Sister?”
Ellie’s eyes lit up. It was a relatable story.
Even to her, a mechanical layman, Jane’s engineering talents are remarkable.
So I didn’t understand why he was worried about repeating a grade. In fact, he repeated a grade and his grade level was the same.
It seemed like a case of being late to shine. Especially since Jane is a spontaneous person, there is a severe lack of interaction.
“Oh, by the way. Did you eat lunch?”
“Ah, not yet······ And I’m going to grab a quick lunch······”
“No. You have to see the sunlight. Are you going to collapse if you stay here every day?”
“I don’t want to go outside······”
Besides, I almost fell over once already. I didn’t add that.
Ellie also knew this fact. Since they interacted frequently, she couldn’t help but know it naturally.
“Okay. Okay. Let’s stop staying here and go outside. We can buy some clothes while we’re at it.”
“Oh, I have plenty of clothes!”
“Did you buy winter clothes?”
“··· ···”
“Look at that. You have a pretty face and a nice body, so why don’t you think about getting some makeup done?”
“Rather than that, I’d rather buy one more steel… And, you shouldn’t use that as investment money!”
“Then I’ll buy it for you.”
“Ugh.”
In the end, Jane, who had been blocked from the source, had no choice but to be dragged away by Ellie. And all of her energy was sucked out.
The compatibility between the extremely introverted Jane and the extroverted Ellie was a good fit in many ways.
Jane didn’t want to go out either, but once she did, she had a good time. She just got tired of it.
“Hmm? I didn’t expect to meet you here.”
“Ah. Seolhwa-ssi!”
By chance, I was able to meet a story that was going around everywhere.
Most other people are afraid of Sulwha or treat her like an adult, but Ellie is different.
As the story goes, is it because death is always around, or is it because his head is close to a flower garden?
“Seolhwa, do you want to buy some clothes too? Since winter is coming, you need to buy some winter clothes.”
“I don’t really care about the temperature, though?”
“You should buy it anyway! With that face and body, it’s a shame not to wear it!”
At that persuasion, Seolhwa looked Ellie up and down. Then she said.
“If it comes to body, you’re much better, aren’t you?”
“Nothing fits me. No matter what I wear, my chest sticks out.”
“··· ···”
Seol-hwa’s impression was slightly crumpled. It was a reaction that something felt bad but she couldn’t find a way to refute it.
Does that mean I harbor hostility toward Ellie? No, I don’t. Instead, I made a suggestion.
“Okay, I understand. But there is a condition.”
“What are the conditions?”
“Can I touch your chest?”
“······to?”
The reaction came from Jane, who was right next to him. Her glasses slipped down as if she had no idea what she had heard.
But Ellie was troubled by the frequent occurrence of giving her breasts in exchange for clothing for Sulwha.
“Okay! Let’s touch it together later when we shower together.”
“i get it.”
“··· ···”
Only then did Seol-hwa smile in satisfaction. Only Jane, who couldn’t keep up with the conversation, was dumbfounded.
In this way, for the next four weeks, everyone was enjoying their own lives. It was a rare moment of peace.
“Okay. Here we go again. One.”
“one!!!”
“two.”
“two!!!”
The combat job is a pain in the ass. It’s currently the 4th day without sleep.
Students are slowly starting to turn into zombies. Most of them are wizards.
Since it is a job that inevitably requires physical strength, it was inevitable that there would be many dropouts.
“Please, please… I want to be eliminated too…!”
“No. I’ll drag you away.”
“Ugh. Mom······”
Grace was originally included here, but Shivar dragged her in by force.
As Grace’s stamina increases day by day, I wonder what the other people’s situations are like.
Kara was able to hold on, and Luna’s mouth is turning into a dog’s, but she’s holding up well.
“Ah. Should I just hit him?”
“I didn’t know you could say that.”
“And you?”
“Haha. I plan on passing out on the seventh day.”
“okay?”
The same goes for Karasu and Dan Yerin, who are famous for being tall. They are holding up quite well.
“Hey, do you know that student named Dan Ye-rin over there?”
“You know that, right?”
“What do you think about pretending to faint after a week?”
“hmm.”
“I, I······ That damn dog.”
I was holding on very well.
