A Wild Man Has Entered the Academy - Chapter 490
Reversal of Subject and Object (3)
I don’t know what Luna was saying that caused Chaos to react this way, but one thing is certain.
If things go in a strange direction from now on, there’s a very high chance that it’s because of Luna.
The real problem is that Luna probably doesn’t know what’s going on.
It seems like you have a rough idea of what’s going to happen, but that’s it.
If Luna were to help me in a situation where I don’t even know what variables will explode, a situation close to a dead end could unfold in many ways.
‘I don’t know what the hell this b*tch is thinking.’
I wish I could run over there right now and find out what they were talking about.
But as I said before, it’s best to stay quiet for now because it might only raise suspicion.
Let’s just focus on the ceremony tomorrow. This is all we can do right now.
‘When the performance comes back, you can take me back.’
Let’s just do something until they get back. For now, all we can do is wait.
That doesn’t mean I’m just waiting. Tomorrow is the day the incident happens, so I should let you know in advance.
If I tell my professors out loud, I’ll get in trouble, so I plan to tell people I trust.
“What? Something dangerous is going to happen during the ceremony tomorrow?”
“huh.”
For example, Kara. I called Kara, who was resting, aside and gave her some general information.
I told you that something unusual, something close to a terrorist attack, would happen tomorrow during the ceremony. I’ve pretty much told you everything.
Kara’s eyes widened for a moment at the information I gave her, but soon she looked puzzled and asked a question.
“How do you know that? Did you hear it when you were in the palace with Princess Danyerin?”
“I heard it in passing.”
“Well… I guess. People would think you don’t know Eastern languages. You could have said it out loud.”
I was convinced when he said that he had picked them up. In fact, he had picked up a few, so there was no reason for him to be suspicious.
Kara thought for a while and then chuckled. It was a reaction of being surprised at something.
“I’ve heard a lot about how unstable the situation has been recently… But it even looks peaceful on the outside. How strange.”
“I know.”
“Don’t the people here know about signs? They must be feeling it.”
Kara’s doubts were perfectly reasonable. The people who can best sense the situation are the common people.
Rumors breed rumors, and as they grow larger, they turn into anxiety.
Moreover, it is normal to be anxious, as there have been rumors for a long time that the Allied Forces are in trouble.
But it wasn’t Changcheon. Far from being anxious, he was living a normal daily life.
Although there are some quick-witted people who take refuge, like the Geumchang we met at the inn, they are extremely rare.
I can express it in one word.
“Um······Because we fight often?”
“Because we fight often?”
“Yeah. People here fight a lot. So I just let it go, thinking it was just a fight.”
“That makes sense.”
That is precisely safety insensitivity. It is the evil and side effect of inviolability of official duties.
The East is a region where people frequently fight each other. In other words, public safety is not very good.
This is why, even when anxious feelings arise, everyone ignores them and goes about their daily lives.
“War and combat are completely different… Will I come to my senses if I get hit properly once?”
“well.”
“Well, I get it. You better be careful tomorrow. If you’re unlucky, you’ll just have to wait a few days for the investigation and then it’ll be over.”
Kara didn’t seem to care much about it. Of course, it was only on the surface, and in reality, she probably had a lot on her mind.
War is sweet to those who have not experienced it firsthand. But Kara has experienced war firsthand.
He must have known how serious the situation was, but he seemed to trust the Academy because he couldn’t do anything alone.
‘Just don’t get too close.’
The Academy will be given special treatment at the ceremony, not from afar, but up close.
This was a proposal made directly by the palace, not the academy. The academy also accepted it, feeling no need to refuse.
Considering what might happen tomorrow, this is a very dangerous position. It must be a tense moment for the Allies as well.
A situation where you have to avoid the academy students and target only Danjucheon. You even have to break through the strict security.
Even without the dragon, it would be quite difficult.
“Then I’ll be going now. I have to finish training.”
“huh.”
“And don’t worry too much. There’s very little chance of harm coming to us. If you had thought about it, you would do the same.”
Kara told me not to worry, pinching my cheek slightly. It seemed like she was worried about my silence.
I also smiled slightly. I’m clearly stronger than him, but I’m strangely reliant.
I think he’s perfect for solving complex problems. His wealth of experience makes me feel that way even more.
“Oh. By the way, the saint hasn’t come yet?”
“Yeah. Still at the palace.”
“I wonder if he knows this. I’ll have to talk to him about it when I see him later.”
As Kara said that, she left for the training ground. I watched her leave for the training ground and then started walking.
Ellie and Grace were at Namgung Segae, so they would come if they waited. Karas didn’t even care.
‘Should I rather go to Namgung Se-ga now?’
If you have an academy student ID, you can easily enter Namgung Sega. I have one too.
Since we don’t know when Lee Yeon-ju and Luna will return anyway, it’s not a bad idea to visit.
This kind of news needs to be told quickly so that everyone can prepare themselves. It’s mainly for people who are closely related to me.
‘Namgung Se-ga was this way······’
As I was heading towards Namgung Se-ga, I saw someone walking towards the accommodation from afar.
Most Easterners look similar. This is not a racist remark, but rather refers to the black hair, black eyes, and skin color.
Among those appearances, the colorful appearance was bound to stand out.
‘Grace and Karas? Why those two?’
The people walking from afar are none other than Grace and Karas. An unexpected combination is returning.
In fact, it may not be surprising that the two of them are from the Matra Empire. One of them is the crown prince and the other is the daughter of a duke.
It is true that they are bound to be close politically, but it is surprising to see them walking together like that for the first time.
‘But the expression is so······’
While Karas has a bright smile as always, Grace has a slightly stiff face.
Grace is usually good at controlling her facial expressions, but she’s like that. What on earth happened between them?
As I was pondering such questions, my eyes met with Karas’. He smiled even more deeply when he met mine.
‘What is it? Why is it like that?’
People are anxious. Meanwhile, Grace also looked at me.
As soon as she saw me, she smiled brightly and quickly approached me.
It would be rude to leave Crown Prince Karas behind, but it must mean that it is urgent.
“Mr. Shivar! Where are you going?”
“Uh······I was looking for you.”
“Oh my. Why me?”
“I have something to tell you.”
“Hmm. I see!”
Grace grabbed my hand and raised her voice as if to tell someone to listen. I glanced behind her.
Karas kept a sinister smile on his face, not knowing what was funny. Instead, he seemed uninterested in this, and went straight into his quarters.
What on earth happened between these two? I asked Grace, as it was something that was hard to understand.
“What happened?”
“This is not the place to talk about this. Let’s move for a moment.”
“huh.”
For now, I think it would be best to do as Grace says. It seemed like an urgent matter at first glance.
Grace took me to a quiet place other than my lodgings, a deserted alley.
Then she looked around to see if anyone was listening, and then faced me. I faced her, slightly bewildered.
“what’s the matter?”
“Hoo······ Mr. Shivar. Listen carefully. Everything I say is true, so don’t ignore it. Got it?”
“huh.”
I was a little curious as to what on earth he was talking about.
After a while, Grace looked around again and spoke in a small voice so that only I could hear.
“There will be a terrorist attack at the ceremony tomorrow. It will be committed by the Allied Forces.”
“··· ···”
“No, Karasu. It’s information that Your Majesty gave me.”
Grace referred to Karas not by name, but as “Crown Prince.” This information was given by the Crown Prince, not Karas himself.
As the crown prince of the country, he would have his own source of information. Furthermore, since the East was an unstable region, he would have obtained various types of information.
But having information and being certain are two different things. I asked with a skeptical look.
“Is that true? It’s going to explode tomorrow?”
“Yes. That’s what His Majesty said. And this is my suggestion······”
Grace hesitated for a moment, then made a firm suggestion to me.
“Would it be possible to return to the Academy early?”
It was a proposal that I was not particularly pleased with. At the same time, questions were growing in my mind.
What did Grace hear that made her say something like that? What did she hear from Karas that made her say something like that?
I can’t help but be curious. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to listen first and then decide.
“Why? Why me? Why everyone else?”
“I don’t know the reason either, but······”
Grace trailed off.
“I think His Majesty is planning to use Mr. Shivar.”
“······me?”
“Yes. What will happen next, and······”
Not human Karas.
“I guess you figured Mr. Shivar was at the center of it all.”
He showed me how scary the wisdom of the ‘Crown Prince’ Karas was.
As soon as I heard that, I thought, “No way.”
‘This little Karas guy, no way······’
Are you planning to drag the Matra Empire into this incident?
