A Wild Man Has Entered the Academy - Chapter 575



575 – Sleep (2)

Maybe it’s because I’ve lived in the forest for so long. I’ve developed a habit of fighting back if someone touches me while I’m sleeping.

This is the same thing that was instilled in me and Kara, who experienced the war. But I am more sensitive.

If Kara was just surprised and naturally moved her joints, I moved my body with my eyes closed.

Even before I regain consciousness, my body reacts and I can’t stop it. It’s something I can’t do anything about.

“Ugh······”

Marlboro, who was hit hard by me and had his heart broken, eventually had to be evacuated as he was unable to recover for some time.

I feel sorry that it hit the most important place for a man. I hope you recover quickly.

Even though they already had a son, they didn’t want to break up their marriage. If there really was a problem······

‘I must find a good herb deep in the Forest of Chaos.’

I feel wronged, and Marlboro feels wronged too, but I was the one who hit him first. Furthermore, I sympathize with his pain.

You probably feel like crying now. It’s amazing that you’re not even foaming at the mouth and collapsing.

Anyway, when this incident happened, the way I was treated changed a little. First of all, I still touched the weapon while sleeping like any other student.

-Tuktuk. Tuktuktuk.

Instead of snatching it away openly, he would touch it from a distance, and use a long stick to do so.

Since Marlboro just got evacuated after counterattacking, the other professors can’t help but be concerned.

Well, I wasn’t completely asleep, I was just a little tired, so I woke up quickly.

“Phew.”

“··· ···”

Instead, every time I woke up, the professor let out a sigh of relief. Even now, Lee Yeon-hwa showed the same reaction.

He seemed worried that I might counterattack while I was away. I just let it go because I knew it was my fault.

So time passed and evening came. They fed me food regularly, but somehow they didn’t let me sleep.

The problem is after eating. I’m already tired, and when I feel sleepy after eating, it’s hard to endure.

“Student. Are you sleeping?”

“Drrrrrrr······”

“Student. Get up. Student.”

Because of this, some students did not wake up even when the professor shook them. They were essentially unconscious.

More than 30% of students like this have already come out. That’s why some smart students didn’t eat.

Of course, not eating was also a problem, as my physical strength was so low that there were some cases where I actually fainted.

So on the 6th day, more than 80% of the students dropped out. Only a very small number of people remained until the end.

‘Me, Kara, and Luna? Luna······’

I looked at Luna. She seemed to be trying to suppress a smile, judging by the way her lips continued to quiver.

After enduring it for so long, I finally took some medicine. At least the feeling of being high has subsided, otherwise I would have laughed heartily.

Still, the will to persevere until the end is admirable. To be honest, I’m starting to feel weak, but Luna must be even worse.

“One more day! Just hold on for one more day! Everyone, cheer up······”

-dump!

Just as Sarah was about to shout, a student collapsed. And then came the sound of snoring.

Other professors naturally took the students and left. In this way, one by one, they are reaching their limits.

Kara also tried to hold on somehow, by blinking her eyes and rubbing her lips.

“······Just hold on for one more day and all training will be over! Just hold on for a little longer!”

“At a time like this, it would be better to train more······”

Kara grumbled in Tatar, which I was probably the only one who could understand.

Actually, it’s better to train all day than to rest like this, so you get some adrenaline flowing.

When the tension in your body is released, your head will also feel relaxed. Even just staying still will be painful.

The professors also seemed to know this, so they intentionally extended the break. As a result, several more students collapsed.

“Hehehe······”

Luna was busy laughing, either because of the drugs or because she was just crazy. She was trying to hold back her laughter, but it seemed like it wasn’t going well.

As time passed, the final training session approached. The content of the final training session was none other than······

“You guys can do the rest of the training on your own. Just hold on and hold on until the sun rises the next morning.”

It was just autonomous training. At first glance, it might feel like a boring training.

But if you dig deeper, that’s not the case at all. Since it’s autonomous training, it’s bound to be the most difficult.

Wouldn’t it be okay if I just closed my eyes once? If I just closed my eyes for about 10 minutes, I think I’d be fine again.

“Hey, Luna. Let’s spar with each other.”

“yes.”

Kara challenged Luna to a duel so that she wouldn’t even think about it. Luna gladly accepted her offer.

In addition, other students also began to struggle to hold on, either by sparring one by one or training independently.

“Whoa······”

Of course, it’s still hard even if you try your best. There were many times when my mind couldn’t handle it and I forcibly turned off the switch in my brain.

My eyes are blurry right now, so it must be several times harder for others. I even took a nap here and there.

The professor didn’t wake him up often because he was afraid that he might get attacked. Even if he woke him up, he would tap him with a stick from afar.

What, I’m not a sleeping tiger, so why are you poking it with a stick… I can understand though.

If not, the professor who was evacuated would have been someone other than Marlboro.

-Knock! Knock knock! Crack!

I looked at Kara and Luna sparring with each other. As expected, Luna was the one who was overwhelming.

While Kara’s stamina has depleted, Luna has recovered some of her energy thanks to taking medicine.

‘Sleep is definitely important.’

Kara’s movements have slowed down by more than half. This isn’t just empty words; her stamina has decreased to that extent.

But experience cannot be ignored. He was using minimal movement, perhaps using his head rather than his body.

-Ttaaak!

“ah!”

Of course, that doesn’t mean they won. When Luna swung her sword down hard, Kara’s wooden sword flew away.

It meant that even the strength in her grip had almost disappeared. Kara clicked her tongue and raised both hands.

“Surrender. I don’t have enough strength. Should I just use lightning instead?”

“If you use lightning, can you last longer?”

“I guess I’ll have to hold on. But I can’t guarantee what happens after that.”

“I think it’s better to just hold on.”

Luna, who said that, looked at me. Could it be that she wanted to spar with me?

Fortunately, that wasn’t the case, as Luna continued to spar with Kara. And so time passed quickly.

The number of students collapsing in the middle of the night increased one by one, and as dawn passed and the sun began to rise in the morning.

When the sun began to rise in the morning, there were only 7 students left. Almost 80% of the students were eliminated.

“Thank you all for your hard work. You’ve persevered through this training to the end, and you’ll receive huge marks for your grades.”

Sarah praised the remaining students with a proud voice. This is definitely not a training that a person can endure.

There were quite a few parts where they intentionally tried to make students drop out. It was almost abnormal to hold out.

In particular, I had some advantages since I had gotten enough rest. I don’t know if I should consider this a special privilege.

“It’s okay if you collapse now, get enough rest······”

As soon as he said that, one of the students fell backwards. It seemed like he had reached his limit of stretching.

Sarah just stared at the student and left him alone. She was going to drag him away later anyway.

“Now you can go back and get some rest. I hope you have a good vacation and prepare thoroughly for your third year coursework. That’s all!”

“I need to wash up quickly and go to bed······”

As soon as the order to disband was given, Kara returned without looking back. Her face was completely covered in fatigue.

The other students were the same. They walked with a plodding pace, almost like zombies.

I looked at them and then turned my head to Luna. Luna’s eyes were still wide open.

‘I wonder if he can sleep well?’

Anyway, training is over and vacation has begun.

I returned to my lodgings, telling Luna to get a good rest.

When I returned to my accommodation, Grace, who had been eliminated earlier, was waiting for me.

“Mr. Shivar! Are you finished with your training?”

“huh.”

“Then, make yourself comfortable! Should I wash you?”

“Oh, no. It’s okay.”

I couldn’t help but sweat a little bit trying to defeat the strangely aggressive Grace.

I wondered why this was happening, but then I remembered that it was almost vacation time.

Grace will probably go back to her parents’ house during the vacation. It’s the place she hates the most.

“Um······Grace.”

“yes?”

“What kind of place is the Matra Empire?”

“!!!”

Grace’s eyes burst open like lanterns. A subtle smile formed on her lips.

She was taken aback by the sight that was so clearly visible, but then she shouted.

“Hey, hey, would you like to come this time? I can introduce you!”

“Okay. I’ll go.”

“Kkiyaaat!!”

Is there a need to like it that much?

******

Meanwhile, Luna also returned to her accommodation.

‘It’s fucked.’

Even though she had washed herself clean and was lying down on the bed, her eyes were wide open.

My body is incredibly tired, but my mind is clear. It’s a truly contradictory feeling.

‘I can’t sleep.’

The medicine was so effective that it was a disaster.

‘Can someone please hit me up? Ask Seolhwa-nim?’

Luna’s suffering continued into the next day.

The medicine was so effective, it was too good.
