A Wild Man Has Entered the Academy - Chapter 489



Reversal of Subject and Object (2)

The noble family of Jo Han, the Daeju Lee clan. The head of the clan, Lee Hyeon-tae, is an unfortunate nobleman.

Considering that the head of the Allied Forces is actually Daejoo Lee, one could argue that he is incompetent, but this would be unfair.

Not long after assuming the position of head of the household, he lost his country with his eyes wide open and his nose cut off. He just had to turn over the shit that the previous head of the household had done so generously.

In fact, the head of the family had moved to the Hwan Empire and was living well, so Lee Hyeon-tae couldn’t help but feel frustrated.

But he did not give up and resisted to the end. The first thing he tried was ‘change’.

The East, unlike the West, has a rather conservative and rigid culture that is reluctant to change.

However, the reason the Huan Empire was able to swallow up the entire East was because of change. It accepted Western civilization and achieved tremendous development.

It was clearly wrong to use that development for invasion, but what can be done? The world originally revolves around the logic of power.

So, Lee Hyun-tae actively accepted changes: Western culture, education, etiquette, science, etc.

The more I accepted it, the more I realized how much the West had developed and what it lacked compared to the East.

Accepting the good and rejecting or appropriately correcting the bad to make it good. That was the change that Lee Hyun-tae was talking about.

‘This alone is not enough. In the end, what’s most important is people.’

However, the time that was invaded by the Huan Empire will never return. The Huan Empire took many things from the Allied Nations.

Of course, the basic rights of the country were taken away, but mainly the people, that is, the talented people. They knew very well what was important in the country.

Even without that, the Allied Powers, including Jo Han, have a smaller population than the Huan Empire. In fact, they are at the level of eating the liver of a flea.

And Lee Hyun-tae had a different idea here. He pretended to steal the talent while planting a spy.

The spy is none other than the proud eldest daughter and patriot, Lee Yeon-hwa. If the country had been in good shape, she would have married into a good family.

Even though she was given a difficult mission, Lee Yeon-hwa silently carried out her work without complaining. This is why she was chosen.

‘Yeonju has a choleric side.

Lee Yeon-hwa and Lee Yeon-ju are biological sisters, but their personalities are different. They are like water and fire.

That is why, unlike Lee Yeon-hwa, who was planted as a spy, Lee Yeon-ju was used as an informant.

Their roles are similar, but Lee Yeon-hwa is in charge of finding the enemy’s heart, and Lee Yeon-ju is in charge of figuring out the enemy’s actions.

It was heartbreaking to see my daughters, who should be meeting good men, take on such a heavy mission, but there was nothing I could do about it.

The son who was to inherit the family was taken as a hostage by the Huan Empire and died one day. He harbored patriotism as well as a desire for revenge.

‘If the information Yeonhwa sent is true, she will definitely be of great help to us.’

As time passed and the time of the final battle approached, Lee Hyun-tae was able to receive good news one after another.

The active cooperation of Dan Ye-rin, who holds the right to the throne. She promised independence for her country, giving appropriate reasons.

The reason why the Empire of the Ring swallowing up the Allied Nations has such enormous side effects. These are side effects that are actually evident everywhere.

This alone was solid support, but there was even more important news. The Academy’s promising young talent would be fully supported.

‘A tiger······’

As Lee Yeon-hwa expressed it, the tiger. The tiger is a scary creature that can be called a ‘mountain king’.

A being with overwhelming power and majesty as a monarch. Even the Huan Empire does not give him the name Tiger so carelessly.

‘Since Yeonhwa had great insight, she must have had great military power.’

At first, I just thought it would be helpful. I also thought that his victory in the duel with the King of Destruction was an exaggeration.

If I had heard that he had defeated the dragon, I would have met him first. But now he is meeting with someone else.

If Shivar is a tiger, then the person we just met is closer to a fox than a tiger.

A beautiful appearance that seems to captivate people, along with an expression that makes it impossible to read her intentions.

Still, it could not be ignored as it was recording top grades at the Academy.

The fox’s name is Luna Estelle.

This is the variable that Lee Hyun-tae is currently facing.

“I’m rooting for you.”

Lee Hyun-tae heard the answer after his conversation with Luna. I’m rooting for you.

It was incredibly subtle, almost like he was stepping back and offering to help.

What on earth was his intention behind saying such a thing? Perhaps it was because he was a student and it was difficult to help him directly.

‘It’s not that I don’t understand.’

It is not a simple wish. It is a matter of national independence.

It’s not something that a single student can participate in, but I feel like I want to borrow a cat’s paw.

‘Then how can I help you?’

That’s the point. If you’re literally just cheering, I’ll tell you to throw it out there right now.

But I can’t say it directly, because I couldn’t completely understand Luna’s intentions.

Moreover, it was difficult to completely trust Luna. What did she want to do to help them?

Lee Hyun-tae believes in the goodness of people, but only in a small scope. Good deeds in a large scope always have intentions.

Luna was going out of her way to help in a fight that seemed to have little chance of success. I couldn’t understand it at all.

“Cheer… That’s an ambiguous word. Do you have no intention of helping directly?”

“It would be meaningless if I helped myself.”

“hmm.”

Another unexpected answer popped out. It was also a thought-provoking one.

This wish is meaningless if it is not achieved directly. It would be somewhat futile to gain independence with the help of other countries.

We must somehow achieve independence with our own hands, and only by showing hope can we exert greater force in the independence movement.

“You’re right. But at the same time, I have some questions.”

“Please speak.”

“Why are you helping us? It won’t do you any good.”

Hyun-Tae Lee asked directly about Luna’s intentions. What does Luna want that makes her want independence for the United Nations?

This was most important to Lee Hyun-tae. He couldn’t rule out the possibility that she was a spy.

As a commoner, you can belong anywhere. Your patriotism is bound to be relatively weak.

From noble mtl dot com

Luna blinked at him and answered in a serious voice.

“It’s important to me too. It’s to prepare for what might happen in the future.”

“What happens in the future?”

“Yes. I can’t tell you due to circumstances. I’ll be able to tell you once everything is over.”

“Your shoulders look heavy.”

“··· ···”

My shoulders are heavy. Luna’s expression hardened for a moment at those words, then relaxed again.

There was no way Lee Hyun-tae wouldn’t have noticed those subtle changes. That’s why he was more trustworthy.

I don’t know what she’s after, but I know that all of this is a ‘process’.

‘The possibility of betrayal······ seems low. There was no mention of meeting with anyone from the Hwan Empire.’

Hyun-Tae Lee thought quickly. At least Luna wouldn’t betray him.

Still, it’s hard to trust him completely. I guess it can’t be helped since he’s an outsider.

Hyun-Tae Lee unconsciously fiddled with the cigarettes in his arms and then stopped. As his thoughts grew, he began to think about cigarettes.

It’s rude to smoke in front of guests. He continued asking questions with as much patience as he could.

“It’s difficult to help directly, so how do you plan to help from afar?”

“I think I’ll help Yeonju-ssi······. Two is better than one.”

“I don’t need······”

Lee Yeon-ju tried to refute but then closed her mouth. She needed to be careful with her words in front of her father.

Lee Hyun-tae smiled with satisfaction. Lee Yeon-ju has a choleric personality and sometimes makes mistakes in her work.

If Luna could stop it from the side, she would be a great helper. If she could help like this, it would be enough.

“Good. If you help them yourself, they’ll notice. You’d better be careful.”

“Yes. I will be careful.”

“Then I’ll ask you one last time. You don’t have to answer directly.”

Lee Hyun-tae paused for a moment and then looked straight at Luna. Luna also stared straight at him.

An unwavering gaze. Luna’s expression became slightly tense at that gaze.

Then, Lee Hyun-tae smiled and asked in a friendly voice.

“Could you tell me a little bit about your purpose? I might be able to help you too.”

“The purpose is simple. To help you stay on track. That’s my purpose.”

“That’s great.”

It is a satisfactory answer. The fact that it does not deviate is enough to be credible.

Lee Hyun-tae nodded, then smiled brightly and spoke to Luna.

“I will leave the performance to you. Please assist me well.”

“It’s burdensome, but······I’ll do my best.”

“Thank you. I really appreciate it.”

“It’s nothing.”

“okay.”

Finally, Lee Hyun-tae said with a warm smile.

“Please grant our long-cherished wish.”

Luna had a slightly questioning expression on her face at those words.

“I also have a purpose, so I will do my best to help you.”

Anyway, I thought the goal was the same, so I gave a positive answer.

‘It seems like our country’s independence is not far away.’

It’s truly a dream come true.

‘As long as Shivar doesn’t go astray.’

It was a complete reversal of roles.

[Faith rises!!!]
