A Wild Man Has Entered the Academy - Chapter 492
The Noble Person (2)
I know very well what kind of person Lee Hyun-tae is through Soul World.
He was originally an ambitious man, but after losing his country, he transformed into an ardent independence activist.
At the same time, he is an unfortunate man whose son was captured by the Huan Empire and died after being unable to withstand all kinds of torture.
He is a person who has experienced or created various events to the extent that he can be called a living witness to history.
‘And as an ambitious person, you know how to see far ahead.’
A three-dimensional man who desires independence for his country, but also wants to seize strong power.
The expression that the boundary between good and evil is ambiguous was appropriate. Perhaps Chaos would like it if he knew his mind.
Of course, power tends to rot if left alone, so it still has some ambiguities.
But don’t worry, he’ll be a great help in the upcoming rebellion.
Even though he may have a somewhat sly side, I already knew his true intentions.
“How nice it would be if we could just focus on our work.”
“yes.”
“Please continue to work hard in the future. After all, those who are faithful to their work shine the brightest.”
Then, is this really a snake-like thing? I was really embarrassed by Lee Hyun-tae’s words and actions, which seemed to be serving a noble person.
He is a man who pretends to be cheerful on the outside, but makes countless calculations on the inside. The ultimate goal of those calculations is, of course, the independence of his country.
That aspect was passed on to Lee Yeon-hwa, and she grew into an excellent spy. But look at now.
As soon as you saw me, you treated me as if you had no more worries. Lee Yeon-ju’s advice to omit the subject as much as possible became meaningless.
“That······father.”
“Huh? What’s going on?”
“Aren’t you too excited······?”
It must have been so confusing that Lee Yeon-ju took a quick look around and then said something. She must have been confused too.
Lee Hyun-tae blinked at that, then laughed heartily. It was a reaction as if it was nothing serious.
“Is that why? You don’t have to worry. We have strong allies.”
“Allies······ right?”
“Yes. Have you heard that one of the generals will not be able to attend the ceremony tomorrow?”
Has the rumor already reached Lee Hyun-tae’s ears? It hasn’t been that long since the dragon fell to my hands.
It’s quite fast. Just as Lee Yeon-hwa was stabbed into the enemy’s heart, other informants must have also infiltrated the palace.
It’s not like he’s completely out of the question, since he’s a very capable person. He just has a bit of a lust for power.
“That’s······the first time I’ve heard of it? What’s going on?”
“Yes. It’s just a rumor, but rumors like that don’t usually spread. I don’t know the details.”
“··· ···”
It’s like telling me to roughly guess. With those words, Lee Yeon-ju looked at me.
The only people who headed to the palace were me, Dan Ye-rin, and Lize. And I was someone who was heavily involved with the rebellion.
Even a person with a short mind can easily guess what happened.
“That’s why this father likes it. Because a big obstacle has disappeared.”
“Then the wish is······”
“But it won’t be easy. Even if one general is absent, an army is an army.”
“··· ···”
Lee Yeon-ju’s mouth was tightly shut at the advice not to be blindly optimistic. His words were the absolute truth.
Even though the absence of the Ui-ryong left a huge vacuum in the military, the army is the army.
As it is the pinnacle of human power, we cannot let our guard down. Even without a general, there were subordinate generals.
Since ancient times, wars between humans have been fought not by elite soldiers, but by soldiers who keep coming in. The quantity is the best.
For the Allied Forces, who are already short on supplies, there will be no hope if they finish before their troops are concentrated.
‘The chain of command is broken, so this would be an opportune time.’
With the departure of the dragon, there was chaos in the command structure. A huge gap must have opened up.
Lee Hyun-tae must be laughing because he knows that well. It’s true that I did something big.
“Ah. Right. Is your school life okay? I guess you had a hard time adjusting since you came from a different background.”
“Because there are many good people. I’m doing well now.”
“That’s fortunate. There are many bad people in the world.”
“I know very well.”
Since then, we’ve talked about various things, but most of it was about nothing of any nutritional value. Lee Hyun-tae has already gotten everything he could from me.
I wonder if Hyun-Tae Lee will try to give me something. It might be difficult right now, but he will definitely give me something similar to a promise.
“If you don’t mind, do you know how old you are?”
“How old are you?”
“Yeah. Age. Age is pretty important, you know. It looks like you’ve passed the terms and conditions, but… It’s hard to tell.”
“I don’t know either.”
Something like that. I had an idea of what direction it was going to go.
When we talk about age, we are obviously talking about the ‘future’, and that future includes many things.
Among them, Lee Hyun-tae will try to draw me in somehow. The problem is that it’s not just Lee Hyun-tae, it’s the same with other people.
‘It won’t be easy.’
Lee Hyun-tae was also aware of this and did not say anything more than that. The most urgent matter was the independence of the country.
As it turned out, a situation similar to a meeting between parents unfolded, where Lee Yeon-ju literally ‘introduced’ her father, but that only lasted a moment.
The meeting itself was short-lived, as there may have been eyes to see or ears to hear. Is this what is called reversing the roles of the subject and object?
“······hey.”
“Yeah. Tell me.”
“It wasn’t like that originally. I guess you really like it.”
“Is that a compliment?”
“Is that a compliment?”
Even if you omit the subject, Luna will understand what you are saying. It must have confused people.
Lee Yeon-ju’s face also looks lighter, perhaps sensing that things will get easier in the future.
But I have to ask what I have to ask. I asked Lee Yeon-ju, whose steps had become lighter.
“rendition.”
“say.”
“What will the professor do?”
-Stop
Lee Yeon-ju hesitated. Even though I omitted the subject, she must have immediately noticed who I was talking about.
Lee Yeon-hwa, the object of love and hate and now her older sister who has found out the truth. She must be feeling complicated by now.
Lee Yeon-ju paused in her seat for a moment, then started walking again and came up with her own answer.
“You said it before, right? People who do their best in their respective positions are the most beautiful.”
“··· ···”
“I just have to do what I have to do. If I step in for no reason, I might just cause trouble. Wouldn’t it be best to help when I have free time?”
Has he been worrying about something all this time? His nervous side has completely disappeared.
Rather, it seems like he is accepting it humbly and being considerate so that Lee Yeon-hwa can focus on her work.
Does that mean I’ve grown? No, I haven’t. In order to grow properly, I need to get through this episode.
For now, all we can do is leave Yeonhwa alone, but if she is ever put in danger, we don’t know what will happen.
“By the way, it seems like you’re a lot stronger than I expected. Judging from how healthy you are, it seems like you were overwhelming… Or not?”
“I won’t say anything.”
“Well, everyone has their own secrets. Okay. I’m going.”
It was Lee Yeon-ju who brought up the subject at the end. Still, the conversation went smoothly.
Even without the subject, the conversation flows so well, so what kind of miracle does Luna show?
I feel like I want to take my head off like a lid and look inside.
‘It’s tomorrow. I’m a little nervous.’
As time passed and darkness fell, I couldn’t lie down in bed and looked out the window.

The Huan Empire is a place with an active night market, and it is still bright because it is the capital city of Changcheon.
There are even curtains installed to accommodate those who have trouble sleeping due to the light, so there is no problem.
‘Will it flow in the direction I want, or······’
I’m afraid that all the Buntangs will flock together and create chaos, especially Karasu and Cheonma.
If these two people’s misfortunes were to come together at once… it’s terrifying to even imagine. Wouldn’t I lose my mind?
I chuckled and closed the curtains. When I closed the curtains, complete darkness fell on my room.
‘I just have to try to get the overall framework.’
I hope the episode passes without too much damage.
*****
Around the time Shivar fell into a deep sleep to recharge his energy instead of sleeping.
In a remote area where even the bright lights of the night market cannot reach, deep in the mountains, a certain group was quietly hiding.
From clothes that appear to be painted entirely in black to patterns that seem to have religious aspects, these are things that cannot be considered normal.
“Bishop. Is that true? There will be a rebellion tomorrow during the ceremony······”
“This is a prophecy given by heaven. Are you denying it?”
“··· ···”
The man who called himself a bishop responded clearly to the man in black’s suspicious words.
With an unspoken threat that if you speak any further, the top of your neck will disappear.
The man in black looked ahead, realizing that his subordinate was not speaking.
The lights of the distant Changcheon River came into view. The beautiful lights unique to the night market.
The bishop muttered softly, looking into the light.
“Tomorrow, we will hold the fate of the world in our hands.”
With forces that seek to take advantage of the fishermen’s land.
“I’m looking forward to meeting you.”
The one who would catch the big fish was quietly waiting.
The horse rose high in the sky and looked at one exact spot.
Even though it was covered by a curtain, the presence beyond was clearly felt. Shivar was sleeping, only breathing quietly.
She stroked her lips, showed off her alluring figure, and muttered softly.
“I wonder what will happen in the future.”
A being that could not simply be called a slur was sticking out its tongue.
