A Wild Man Has Entered the Academy - Chapter 574



574 – Sleep (1)

There is a place called Aguido. From what I’ve heard, it’s a hell of hunger.

It is a place where people who have committed terrible sins go and starve until their sins are completely gone.

People usually starve to death if they don’t eat for three weeks, and the world of the dead is the Hakui.

So, it means that you have to live with extreme hunger all year round. It is something that you cannot endure with your wits about you.

‘If there is such a place, I will never commit a sin.’

Luna, who went through the third week, had that kind of mindset.

Even though my mindset was slightly different from that of an ordinary person, enlightenment was enlightenment.

But the training isn’t over yet. After a brief recovery period, the hellish times that follow.

There was a time when I didn’t sleep for a whole week and just trained. To be honest, I wasn’t confident.

It’s not that I can’t stand it like Shivar, but that I can. That’s why I brought the medicine.

‘I’m already weak at sleeping.’

Luna appears to be very honest, but surprisingly, she sleeps a lot. Of course, this is more of an illusion.

Normally, when a person experiences something physically difficult, they tend to sleep a lot. And Luna undergoes arduous training every day.

Sleep is essential for recovery, but I hardly ever get a proper rest period. It’s called monopoly.

Because you keep whipping them until the end without even knowing it, you end up mistakenly thinking that you are getting a lot of sleep.

‘What if I suddenly collapse?’

As the main event, training, approached, I started to feel anxious.

Kara also created anxiety by saying that this time it would be extremely difficult and that there was a high chance that she would be eliminated.

Almost all of the people who were going to drop out have already dropped out, but this time, more than 70% of the students will drop out.

‘I have to just give it a try. What can I do?’

There’s nothing helpful in worrying about this now. All I can do is wait for my body to recover.

As time passed, the training day arrived. In fact, the training itself was mixed with practice as usual.

Whether it’s sparring, testing your improvisation skills, or using other methods, etc.

It started from dawn and continued nonstop until the evening. Even with breaks in between, it never ended.

‘You’re doing this so early in the morning?’

The problem is the time zone. The professors only told us that it would be held on that day, but they didn’t tell us the exact time.

Because of that, I had no choice but to hear the alarm sound at the crack of dawn and rush into training. It was quite reckless.

The only good thing about this misfortune is that I brought my medicine. If I hadn’t brought my medicine, my future would have been difficult.

“Okay. Let’s go back up to the top. Let’s do it.”

“practice!”

The next morning, when darkness filled all directions, the students began to climb the mountain carrying logs on their backs.

Normally this training would be advantageous for those who are short, but strangely enough I didn’t feel that way.

Because the professors intentionally placed the short person at the front, it was fair in many ways.

‘The team with Shivar······’

Luna looked around at the other team’s situation while struggling. Before, Shivar was up on the log.

But not this time. Shivar also silently climbs the mountain, carrying the log along his back.

It looks like he’s deliberately trying to drain his stamina. Honestly, Luna was curious too.

What would Shivar look like when he is physically at his limit? We have never seen him like that before.

‘Surely the explosion won’t go off?’

I didn’t believe it. Moreover, the berserk damage is not stamina, but health.

It only activates when you take unmanageable damage or are about to die. I recently heard that the berserk effect has disappeared, but I’m not sure about that.

“oh my······”

Either way, Luna was having a hard time too. She’s been training since dawn, so she wants to cry.

The strange thing is that I didn’t fall asleep. My whole body’s muscles were pumping, and my mind itself was clear.

It was just so hard that I died. It was the same for other students, so no one spread it.

‘Does it seem worth doing?’

Dawn passed and morning broke again. The second day began.

Surprisingly, I was able to hold out until the second day. The training was so hard that I couldn’t even think about sleeping.

But that was just Luna’s illusion, because her eyelids began to slowly lower.

‘Ugh······ This is so hard.’

My body is tired, but my eyelids don’t even think about raising.

Still, she held on till the end. If it was a break, I don’t know, but she’s training now.

“Be careful not to have this weapon taken away from you. If it’s taken away more than three times, you’re out, so keep that in mind.”

This is a practice where you are given a makeshift weapon and are taught to not let it be taken away.

You may wonder what kind of practical training this is, but the point is that it is a break time.

Every break, professors sneak up on you, so you can’t let them take your weapon away from you.

‘If I hold it in my arms, it won’t be taken away, right?’

Luna thought so and held the weapon in her arms. Although it was a wooden sword made of tree branches, she felt strangely reassured.

It was just that one time when I closed my eyes.

-Knock knock. Knock.

“······?”

She had only closed her eyes once, but someone had touched her. Luna blinked and turned her head.

When she turned her head, Marlboro was looking down at her, holding a wooden sword. He had a look of disapproval on his face.

“Student Luna. This is your first warning.”

“······yes?”

“Be careful, if you get three warnings you’ll be disqualified.”

“··· ···”

As soon as I heard that, I quickly looked for the wooden sword I was holding in my arms.

But it didn’t take long for Marlboro to realize that the wooden sword in his hand was his own.

She just looked at him with a dumbfounded expression. Marlboro understood her feelings and smiled faintly as he returned the wooden sword.

“······I didn’t sleep.”

“embrace.”

“It’s true.”

“So, from now on, don’t fall asleep.”

Nothing would change even if I made excuses that weren’t excuses. Luna still looked at Marlboro leaving with an expression of disbelief.

Soon, he turned to another student. Even that student’s nose was straight and stretched out.

-Knock knock. Knock.

Even when he was woken up, the student did not wake up. Eventually, Marlboro woke him up forcibly and the student woke up.

‘oh my god······’

It’s only been two days. It’s only been two days and I’m already feeling sleepy.

Even beyond the pouring, Luna didn’t even realize it. She raised her head.

It’s still a bright morning afternoon. There are about five days left until the end of training.

Will I be able to survive until then without sleeping even once? Won’t I collapse before then?

‘No, you can do it.’

Luna made a firm resolution. It was too early to despair.

Besides, there was still some medicine left. She rummaged through her pockets.

“······huh?”

Her eyes widened. She clearly had it stored in her back pocket.

But now, even though she searched and searched with her hands, she couldn’t find it. So, she looked inside her underwear instead of her pockets.

A comfortable sports bra that’s not your average underwear. You might have put it in without even realizing it.

‘Oh, it’s not there? Where did it go?’

My heart sank. I had only believed in that one thing and had held on until now.

She was so sleepy that she looked for medicine during her break.

“Ah! I found it.”

Luckily, it didn’t take long to find it, as it was located near where she was resting.

It seems that the medicine has run its course because she was lying down and resting. Luna let out a sigh of relief.

Could it be because of the sudden surprise? My eyelids were slowly drooping just a moment ago, but now they are fine.

Someone once said that it’s better to spill coffee without realizing it than to drink it to wake up.

I think I know exactly what that feeling is.

‘Let’s put it back in our pockets for now. We’ll check it from time to time.’

Luna put the medicine in her back pocket. She would rather put it in her sports bra.

However, sweat can flow down so quickly that it can all melt away if you’re not careful.

By this time, she was pacing around trying to stay awake a little longer.

“Kwaaak!!”

A sharp scream was heard from somewhere. It was a scream filled with pain.

Luna turned her head when she heard the sound. The students who had been sleeping without realizing it also woke up with a start.

“Wh, what’s happening······!”

Likewise, Professor Sarah came running after hearing the scream. She reacted with concern, wondering if an accident had occurred.

From noble mtl dot com

“uh?”

But that reaction didn’t last long, because I was able to quickly infer the situation based on what I saw.

The situation is that Shivar has a bewildered expression on his face, and Marlboro is lying on the floor.

Even Marlboro was holding onto that very important place for the man, and he could immediately figure out what was going on.

“······Student Shibar. Can you tell me more about the situation?”

“······I don’t know. I woke up after hearing a scream too.”

“Ugh, ugh······”

Fortunately, Marlboro seemed to have recovered quickly, although he was still lying on the floor.

Then he looked at Shivar with a sad expression and slowly opened his mouth. He was talking to Sarah, not Shivar.

“S, Professor Sarah. If possible, try not to wake Shivar.”

“yes?”

“I guess it’s because I grew up in the wild······ I got hit right away······ Ugh······”

“··· ···”

In many ways, it was a time of relaxation for Shivar alone.

‘······If I pretend to be asleep and hit you, will you let me off?’

Luna was envious of such a Shivar.

[Faith rises!]
