A Wild Man Has Entered the Academy - Chapter 495



The Sea (3)

During a ceremonial event, an unprecedented incident occurred where the head of the crown prince, Danjucheon, fell off.

A murder of a member of the royal family that occurred in public, in front of a large crowd.

If he had been sniped from a distance using a bow or crossbow, everyone would have been shocked when his head was cleanly severed.

It’s not uncommon for nobles to be assassinated, but they are not kings or emperors. They are the ones who are supposed to lead the country.

The assassination of these beings could, in severe cases, lead to an attempt to overthrow the country.

In fact, stories of rebels beheading kings and taking over the country are quite common.

It is common sense that is well known to even the common people, and strict security is the basic requirement.

“What the hell is going on?! I’m not seeing things right? Right?!”

“W, that’s ridiculous. Why would the royal family······ No. How could the royal family······?”

“Wow, what did we see?”

This is basic common sense that even the Academy students are well aware of. Especially since half of them are of noble birth.

It must have been a great shock to see the head of Danjucheon, who was supposed to be the next emperor, cut off right before my eyes.

In addition, the rebellion of the Allied Forces has begun in earnest. It is natural for the Academy students to fall into confusion.

Moreover, what gave them a huge shock was none other than the suspect. The student who was currently arrested and taken to the palace.

“Did Shivar really······ cut off the prince’s head?”

“There was evidence that he couldn’t even gamble······”

“He’s good at ambush attacks. It’s not like it’s completely impossible.”

“I heard that during the first year training, one person single-handedly assassinated a member of the command staff.”

Shivar was holding a bloody dagger in his hand when Danjucheon’s head was cut off. Everyone thought Shivar was a suspect.

The distance was appropriate, and the Academy students were not subject to separate search and seizure. So, even if they were identified as suspects, there is nothing to say.

“Hey. Let’s think rationally. No matter what, has he ever killed anyone? No. Anyone can see that he was framed.”

“Then how do you explain the sword? It was the only sword in the prince’s hand when his head was cut off.”

“What would you have done? If it were you, would you have assassinated someone right in front of your nose and proudly held up your sword?”

“That’s true too.”

“It’s strange that he was dragged away so easily. He was probably too flustered to do anything.”

But it wasn’t long before I realized that ‘common sense’ would make it impossible for Shivar to be a suspect.

The circumstances themselves are so exquisite that it is almost impossible for the beggar who was dragged in, Shivar, to become a suspect.

Even if you think rationally, there is one thing that is certain.

“He only hits people if he has a reason to. He never hits people for no reason.”

“That guy who’s just starting to pretend to be civilized wouldn’t kill anyone, would he?”

“First of all, you’re a good person.”

Shivar’s usual image played a decisive role. Shivar usually has an image of being good.

Even though he possessed overwhelming force, he did not intimidate others and used it only when necessary.

Contrary to his image as a completely absent-minded person, he is not stupid. Rather, his brain is more intelligent than other students.

If he had any sense at all, he would not have committed the assassination in that manner, and he would not have even attempted it.

There was clearly a misunderstanding. Someone was definitely framing Shivar. As time went on, it became clear that it was.

“But to clear my name······”

“The real culprit must be caught.”

“Who the hell did that?”

“The people who set off the bomb earlier were from the Allied Forces?”

“What? Did a rebellion break out?”

But what good does it do to come to that conclusion? It’s already chaos outside.

Now that the rebellion has broken out, it will be impossible to use Warp. In other words, it means that you won’t be able to leave your quarters for the time being.

A situation where one must wait quietly unless the Allied Powers push out the Hwan Empire or the opposite happens.

Although diplomatic problems are bound to arise, independence is important to the Allied Powers.

“What should we do now?”

“I think it would be best to contact the academy quickly.”

“But how?”

Even the professors couldn’t help but feel at a loss as they encountered the situation for the first time in their lives.

Even though they are professors, they have never experienced a rebellion in a foreign country.

“By now, each country has probably reported the current situation.”

“What? When?”

“The signs were already there. The Empire simply delayed them to prevent them as much as possible.”

The most calm person here was none other than the Easterner, Lee Yeon-hwa. She explained in a calm voice.

The professors hesitated for a moment, but then decided to come out and say something.

“The rebels’ goal is to strike a devastating blow to the heart of the Empire. They want independence, not occupation.”

“How do you know that?”

“I’ll tell you in my own way. For now, all I can do is wait.”

“If this happens, the entire East will… be subject to enormous interference?”

United Academy is a place where talents from all over the world gather. It is an institution that attracts the attention of the world.

Since these institutions have been damaged, the East will be subject to interference from the West in the future. It is only natural, since they have committed a crime.

“The federations won’t care. They have parasites attached to them, and their priority is to get them off.”

“··· ···”

“Right now······we have no choice but to protect the students’ safety. For our own sake as well.”

Lee Yeon-hwa, who described the Hwan Empire as a parasite. As I said before, people in this world consider parasites to be the worst insult.

The professors felt uncomfortable with Lee Yeon-hwa’s words and actions, but they let it go. As she said, the important thing is the safety of the students.

“Then what about Shivar? What will happen to Shivar?”

“I don’t know about that either. I wonder who did that······”

“Whoever did it, they caused chaos in the East. They haven’t even revealed themselves, so it’s probably more dangerous than expected.”

“Besides, we can rest assured that the Saintess Shivar is with us. We just have to take care of ourselves.”

The professors ultimately had no choice but to make the decision to wait. There was nothing they could do.

The students who ended up staying in a place that was not a dormitory but a shelter. However, they could not pretend not to know about the situation outside.

“It’s better to stay still for now. Unless someone comes.”

“What about food?”

“Do you think the fighting will continue outside? There will definitely be a lull.”

“Kara, the Tatar princess who had already been through war, said:

Everyone listened to her words. Advice from someone with experience cannot be easily ignored.

“If the Imperial Army is pushed back, they will use the palace as a base and launch a siege warfare. Of course, the rebels may be pushed back, though.”

“You’re saying we have no choice but to watch… We won’t be harmed, right?”

“There’s a high chance they’ll come. Shivar was taken away right away, so there’s no way they wouldn’t suspect us of being accomplices.”

“··· ···”

“Still, as long as we don’t get involved directly, the chances of getting caught up in the storm are low. Who wants to fight here?”

The students had no answer to Kara’s joking question. That’s understandable.

This time, the incident that broke out was a war, not a battle. If you wander outside, you might get hit by a blind arrow.

So when the decision was made to keep quiet for the time being, there was someone who had a different idea.

‘Something feels strange.’

Luna. The sight of a person’s neck falling off was a shock to her, but now all that remained were questions.

‘Why did the assassin give Shivar a knife?’

She was able to dig in because she was focused on the devil’s deeds rather than the rebellion.

After thinking for a while, she came up with her own hypotheses one by one.

‘If it is the devil’s doing, it is to bring down Shivar, but if it is not the work of the Empire of Hwan······’

From noble mtl dot com

It was very likely the devil’s doing, but other possibilities could not be ruled out.

Luna was the only one who was smart at times like this, but her ultimate goal was the devil from the beginning.

After much thought, she came to one conclusion.

‘Once it gets quiet outside, I have no choice but to sneak into the palace.’

There will be many difficulties encountered along the way, but it cannot be helped. I have a feeling that Shivar will be the center.

As soon as that thought occurred to her, she looked for a person. The person who was curled up alone in the corner.

Lee Yeon-ju maintains the attitude that she has no idea about this situation.

Luna stared at Lee Yeon-ju without saying a word. At that moment, Lee Yeon-ju also felt her gaze and faced Luna.

“··· ···”

“··· ···”

They started exchanging glances. The intention behind it was simple.

Let’s go outside to avoid surveillance. Let’s find Shivar, who might be the cause of all this.

At that time, Lee Yeon-ju also had similar thoughts. For her, the key to this situation was Dan Ye-rin.

And Dan Ye-rin has returned to the palace with Shivar. They need to get there somehow.

‘The problem is how to get out······’

It was still noisy outside. I could hear something exploding and screams.

I wonder if I can actually get through that. I’m a little worried.

‘No. I have to.’

Lize said that if you trust Shivar’s power, something big will happen to you one day.

And now that Shivar is gone, it is dangerous to just sit still.

So she made up her mind and moved quietly. The professors did not stop her from returning to her dorm.

In other words, you can escape through the window of the accommodation. Lee Yeon-ju also moved along.

“Where are you guys going?”

It wasn’t like Kara would do that without seeing it. Kara asked in a suspicious voice as Luna and Lee Yeon-joo moved at the same time.

It was a situation where she was blocked from the start. At that moment, Lee Yeon-ju was about to make an excuse.

“This is the accommodation.”

“Why accommodation?”

“There are sanitary pads there.”

“··· ···”

Luna said coolly. Kara couldn’t help but be dumbfounded after hearing her words.

In the end, Kara had no choice but to wave her hand and send her away. The two naturally returned to their dorm.

Lee Yeon-ju checked that there was no one around and asked Luna.

“There are times when that mouth works.”

“what?”

“Weren’t you saying that to avoid trouble?”

Luna blinked at him.

“No. Is it true?”

“··· ···”

“I’m going to the bathroom for a bit. Wait for me.”

Lee Yeon-ju couldn’t help but be dumbfounded.
