A Wild Man Has Entered the Academy - Chapter 569
569 – Hell Training (1)
I want to go home. That’s what Luna thought during her first week of hellish training.
At first, I thought, “It’s just hell training in name only, but I’ve been through so much so far, so how hard could it be?”
I realized that this idea was wrong after the first day, the next day. Contrary to what the professors said, they recommended resting on the first day.
Instead, the wake-up time was ridiculously early. Luna still remembered it clearly.
The feeling of waking up with a body that hadn’t fully recovered. At the same time, the mysterious feeling I got as soon as I looked around.
Yes. It was the discomfort that arose when the so-called discomfort reached an extreme level. I didn’t know the true nature of that discomfort at the time.
‘······what?’
After a brief moment of doubt, she was able to roughly grasp the outline of the hellish training that would take place over the course of about a month.
First of all, it’s not like they just train for 4 weeks without any sleep. Even the professor knows that if a person doesn’t sleep for 2 weeks, they die.
So, each of us will train in a different way every week, and we will do it without rest for exactly one week.
Thanks to that, I was able to have a relatively ‘comfortable’ training session for the first week. Although I couldn’t help feeling like something was wrong every time I woke up.
“Still, it’s bearable. I thought you wouldn’t let me sleep from the beginning.”
“Oh, yeah. Maybe I can hold out?”
“If it weren’t for Shivar, you would have been eliminated already.”
“··· ···”
Even Grace, who was famous for her stamina, was able to hold out. Even with Shivar’s support, this was still a great achievement.
Perhaps because the training was lighter than expected, there were almost no dropouts. The dropouts were students who suffered unexpected injuries.
These students tried to continue their training somehow, but were stopped by the professors. In the end, they had no choice but to return home alone.
“It’s a shame. It’s already going back before it even starts.”
“Are they starting their vacation right away?”
“Maybe so? There’s nothing to do.”
The other students also felt sorry for the dropouts, but they also laughed at them a little. The professors did not stop them.
Rather, he was even smiling as if he knew what kind of hell was about to unfold. Luna saw it clearly.
So I became even more anxious. If a week of training was the appetizer, what would be the main dish?
Is this the overnight training I heard about, or is it another method?
Originally, I was half excited and half worried, but as the training continued, the level of worry increased.
‘The weather is getting colder and colder.’
The weather is getting colder, and the approaching school holidays mean that early winter is just around the corner.
Aren’t even professors wearing long sleeves and long clothes these days? Students are also wearing long sleeves, but it doesn’t mean much.
When you train, you tend to get drenched in sweat, and when the cold wind dries the sweat, your body temperature drops rapidly.
“You must use your magic power to maintain body temperature! That is, if you don’t want to freeze to death!”
The professors also knew this and ordered that magical power be used unconditionally to maintain body temperature.
The students also quickly followed the professor’s instructions because they didn’t want to freeze to death. As a result, their magical power consumption became extremely high.
Originally, magical power was supposed to have a great effect on physical recovery. However, since it was only used for training, the recovery rate also slowed down.
“Ugh······ It’s cold. It’s cold. Grace, do you have any magic left?”
“I, I do have some free time······”
“This is why I like wizards······”
Wizards were more effective than warriors at maintaining body temperature. Moreover, there was no rule that said one could not use magic during training.
If you could magically dry the drenched sweat, you would gain an advantage in maintaining body temperature. And this greatly helped in maintaining magical power.
If warriors showed strength in physical strength, magicians showed strength in magical power. Each had distinct strengths and weaknesses.
Contrary to what I thought was unfair, the training was surprisingly fairly fair.
“Shivar, are you okay?”
“huh.”
Of course, it didn’t matter because both Shivars had their strengths. But the one who was the most peaceful here was Shivar.
Luna was surprised to see him looking healthy, unlike the other students who were becoming increasingly haggard.
Just how strong must one’s physical strength and magical power be to be like that? Even Kara is starting to feel a little weaker.
‘Now that I think about it, the last time I saw you, your physical strength and magical power······’

Luna remembered intently. She knew clearly that both of them were over 140 in terms of numbers.
As soon as the numbers came to mind, she immediately strained her eyes to figure out her own numbers.
[Luna Estelle]
•Strength: 112
• Agility: 121
• Stamina: 121
•Horsepower: 125
•Luck: 50
•Faith: ???
Taking advantage of the break between classes, Luna looked at her physical abilities carefully.
Thanks to his hard work in the East, most of his abilities have increased significantly. If you only look at his numbers, he could be classified as a true ‘warrior’.
Compared to Kara, there is a difference of about 5 to 10, excluding faith. Of course, Luna is significantly less.
‘In the match, I felt like I won more through technique than physical ability.’
It’s still not enough. Luna turned off the message lightly and focused on training.
How much will your stamina and magical power increase with this training? If you’re lucky, other areas may increase as well.
At the very least, it should be raised to a level where it doesn’t hold Shivar back. Besides, wasn’t physical strength said to be national power?
‘The higher you go, the slower the increase becomes. It’s unlikely to go above 150.’
Without going far, there is Black Sword and Lord. He has a strength of less than 150, but his agility and magic power exceed 150.
Even before I rejuvenated, my stamina was barely over 130. Now, it’s easily over 140.
This was understandable, as it was very likely due to age.
‘140 degrees feels so far away······’
Luna grumbled inwardly. It felt so far away.
If her mind had been read by someone else, especially Karana Lord, she would have been so shocked that she would have slapped him in the face.
At the beginning of her schooling, she was so empty that she could be described as an empty wagon. However, in just two years, she was filled to the brim.
Considering that martial arts are usually learned before the age of 10, it is truly a talent given to one by heaven.
“Everyone, lift the logs! Go!”
“practice!”
Regardless, the training continued. Luna was drenched in water and lifted logs several times heavier than her own.
She is about 165cm tall, slightly taller than average. However, most of the students who lift logs with her are tall.
Because it would be normal to hear it vaguely, her method was very simple and ignorant.
Because I stretched out both arms as if I was doing a punishment and used up a little strength.
It was a moment when his unique, old-fashioned side was strongly revealed.
‘Ah. Should I just put my arm down?’
Apart from that, it was still hard and I felt like I was going to die. So I endured the training that became more and more intense.
As the second week began, Luna was able to realize where the area just above Hell was. Or more accurately, the Underworld.
I can’t rest. Even though I wanted to rest, I had to burn my muscles because the professor called me.
“Ughhh······”
“Get up!”
“The less sweat you shed now, the more fatigue you will lose later!”
The professors were vicious and persistent.
He was so amazed at how quickly the students tried to cheat that he gave them a reprimand.
Academy students are known for being very stubborn, but after two weeks of arduous training, they have all lost their energy.
She just moved like a machine, and reacted like a machine. Luna also had no choice but to lose half of her soul at this point.
“Ah. I miss Mom.”
“··· ···”
“Oh. That’s right. I don’t have a mother.”
“Are you crazy?”
He was so upset that he even scolded himself. The student who heard him was genuinely worried.
While even the relatively sturdy Luna was flailing around like a zombie, there were only two people who were relatively unharmed.
Shivar and Kara. But there were only two horses, and Kara’s eyes were also wide open and she looked like she might collapse at any moment.
Shivardo is the most sane person here, except for the fact that he blinks more often.
“Thank you all for your hard work. This week’s training ends here.”
“Wow!”
A time when both body and mind are exhausted. The second week has ended after producing quite a few dropouts.
The students were happy that the second week was over, but they kept their mouths shut when they heard the professor’s next words.
“After a day of rest, you will face greater suffering. Has anyone ever been captured?”
-Swoosh
In the quiet atmosphere, one student raised his hand. Surprisingly, it was Shivar.
Not only the students, but even the professors showed a bewildered reaction, as if they had not expected Shivar to raise his hand.
“Does that include kidnapping?”
“Get down.”
“yes.”
Fortunately, it wasn’t a prisoner, but a kidnapping. In fact, kidnapping is more dangerous, but anyway, it passed.
“In the past, prisoners were often tortured or, in severe cases, killed to obtain information. However, this was only the case in barbaric times, and now it is limited to exchanging them for international oaths or interrogation.”
“··· ···”
“But don’t expect your enemies to be kind to you, especially when food is scarce.”
Marlboro was right. The world is not kind to prisoners.
Although it is said to be an international oath, there are many cases where prisoners are abused knowingly or unknowingly.
If a prisoner dies, they usually just pass it off as they are badly injured and can’t do anything about it.
Moreover, even if you promise humane treatment, it is meaningless if the circumstances on your side are not good.
So what does this mean? Are you saying that it is torture?
“The next two weeks will be tough training. The last week will be a sleepless week, as expected….”
The next thing Marlboro said was:
“The upcoming training will be a week-long no-rations, in other words, survival training!”
“······Professor, there’s nothing but grass here?”
“Eat as you wish.”
It was enough to cause no small amount of despair in the students.
“It’s been a while since I’ve eaten bugs.”
Except for one person.
