A Wild Man Has Entered the Academy - Chapter 509



Defense (3)

The Cheonma that I personally named ‘Seolhwa’. As soon as I received the name, she disappeared somewhere.

It was such a sudden turn of events that I was quite flustered, but one thing was certain.

I got through tonight safely without any trouble.

‘You don’t like the name Seolhwa?’

But aside from that, I was a little worried. I know that my naming sense isn’t that great.

It is common to name things by pointing out the characteristics of the object, such as calling Ratatosk Porori and calling Raccoon Nuburi.

The name Seolhwa was given to Cheonma, focusing on the fact that he is a transcendent being who has lived for a long time. To be honest, it is a very fitting name.

‘What if you don’t like it?’

I pondered in my bedroom for a while. Why did Cheonma run away as soon as he heard my name?

If at least it showed a reaction and disappeared, it would have been different, but since it disappeared suddenly, it was difficult to figure out.

In the worst case scenario, people might lose interest in me because I gave them a weird name. Or, more accurately, they might lose interest in me.

If that interest fades and the way you treat me changes······

‘······Maybe this is better?’

If you quietly leave the Demonic Cult, that’ll be it. The Heavenly Demon will lose interest, so he won’t bother to catch you.

But this is just a wishful thinking, and we will only know what happens in the future when we meet her in person.

I thought about it for a while and then lay down quietly on the bed. In the end, I had no choice but to meet Cheonma in person.

It’s late tonight, so I can just go and see him tomorrow. I’m relieved that I made it through the night safely.

‘By the way, I hope things are going well outside······’

Cheonma, no, I’m worried about Seolhwa, but what I’m more worried about is what’s going on outside. The East is currently in a state of complete chaos.

If things go well as in the original, I don’t know if Luna can do well now.

The only good thing is that there is Reese······ As I have mentioned repeatedly, there are too many variables.

‘That b*stard Karas in particular is the problem.’

If Karasu had brought the military from the West, that is, the Matra Empire, the situation would have gotten out of control.

Of course, to do that, it would be necessary to recruit other heirs to the throne, excluding Dan Ye-rin.

If it’s Karas, then it’s better to confirm this and go, since he’s a great person who has done it a long time ago.

‘I wish I could hear some news······’

The Demonic Cult is located in a remote place, deep in the mountains.

Not only is it difficult to obtain news from outside, but even if you do obtain it, it is likely to be outdated.

Sulwha must have told us directly that war would break out in the Huan Empire at any moment.

‘Isn’t it usually women who are kidnapped, not men······?’

The so-called kidnapping quest. And a quest that Ellie often encounters in Soul World.

As the tale goes, Elida was always surrounded by the aura of death. That actually happened several times.

But not now. With the attention of the demons and the interest of the Heavenly Demon, there was always a risk of being kidnapped.

It’s not that I didn’t rebel. But the beings that tried to kidnap me are all purple?

‘Fuck. This is a bit unfair.’

I could only laugh in vain because of the emptiness. Fortunately, the Heavenly Demons were better than the demons.

I have no idea what kind of trouble I’ll have to endure if I get kidnapped by demons. Well, I don’t think they’ll treat me harshly though.

I just refuse to do it because it completely blocks the story progression and it can be a huge shock to my loved ones.

‘Seeing how Jane’s talents have blossomed to their full potential, it seems like capable people are treated well······?’

According to the original, Jane goes over to the devil’s side after the Santiago episode.

And the demons who recognized her talent invested in Jane so that she could run wild.

In the distant future, in the great war part, the sight of mechanized demons swarming around is beyond words.

‘Come to think of it, it seems like the demons know something too······’

It’s one thing to say that Seolhwa is a b*stard or a mutant, and another to say that she’s an old acquaintance of Lize’s.

Even the lie knew full well that I was from Earth. It cleverly used that to deceive me.

I think we will learn this naturally as time goes by. Since there are urgent things right now, it is better to take care of those things slowly first.

‘With two purple demons here, the gods will take action as well.’

I lay in bed and quietly thought about the future. I wasn’t sure if Seolhwa would ever return.

But sleeping like this isn’t good either. Shouldn’t you wash your body clean first?

Just this afternoon, my body was pierced by a false attack. And to make matters worse, I ended up getting covered in dust after filming a disaster movie.

If I lived in the Forest of Chaos, I would have passed a day or so, but now that we are in a civilized society, it is better to wash up for hygiene reasons.

‘Where should I look······ Oh? It’s quite wide.’

As I entered the bathroom, I noticed that it was a fairly large space. I couldn’t dismiss it as just a simple bathhouse.

The large bathroom was always filled with hot water, bubbles rising, and the scent of bamboo filled the room.

I wonder if they use hot springs from nearby mountains because they are deep in the mountains. I don’t know for sure, but it felt quite majestic.

-with a plop

“Ugh······”

Soaking in the hot water made me feel dizzy. The scent of bamboo also melted away my tired mind.

It was incomparable to the academy’s accommodations. What a comfortable place this was.

For a brief moment, I even had the thought that it wouldn’t be a bad idea to live as Cheonma’s companion.

‘The food was delicious and······ Did the Demonic Cult have a lot of money?’

Since it was semi-isolated from the outside world, trade would have been poor. Nevertheless, the Cheonmasingyo religion was quite large in scale.

The Heavenly Demon Palace where the Heavenly Demon resides is second to none, and the Demonic Cult itself is almost like a city. There must be a separate trade route.

I got up quietly after soaking in the warm bath. If I just daze off like this, my body might start to tingle.

‘But it will recover soon.’

I washed my body with bamboo-scented soap and brushed my teeth with bamboo-scented bamboo salt.

I was curious as to what the bamboo scent was all about, but I thought it was Seolhwa’s taste. It was a surprisingly surprising taste.

Afterwards, I washed my body clean with a towel, put on the clothes I was wearing, and went outside.

“Are you here?”

“Ugh!”

As soon as I went outside, I was startled when I heard a familiar voice right next to me.

Not even feeling any movement, I jumped back and looked in the direction where the voice came from.

Cheonma, no, Seolhwa, was looking at me with a strangely pleasant smile.

“Oh, when did you come?”

“Since you started humming.”

“··· ···”

“That’s nice to hear. I’d like you to sing it to me next time you take a shower.”

It’s an embarrassing answer. I just got out of the shower and my face is red, otherwise I would have been caught.

I cleared my throat and looked around before returning to the bedroom. As I returned to the bedroom, Seolhwa also quietly approached me.

“··· ···”

“··· ···”

There was no word exchanged between them. There was only awkward silence.

I don’t know if she had anything to say, but Seolhwa didn’t say anything. She just stayed next to me.

Yes. They were stuck together like leeches. They were slightly apart before they disappeared, but not anymore.

He went one step further and even gave a subtle smile. It was a reaction that I couldn’t understand at all.

“I······”

“Speak.”

“······The name I gave you. Do you not like it?”

It’s a question that I barely managed to get out. What if they say they don’t like it?

As she thought about that, Seol-hwa’s smile grew deeper. It was definitely not a negative reaction.

“I like it······ I feel something different than that.”

“Feelings?”

“Can you lend me a hand for a moment?”

Seolhwa asked me to do something. If it were me, Cheonma would have responded with an order.

I felt a little shaky, but I did as she asked and lent her a hand. Then she gently grabbed my hand.

It is an infinitely gentle hand. Even though it has a human form, it is a transcendent being. It will always maintain the best body.

-Pok

“Seo, Seolhwa······?”

I was momentarily amazed by the soft texture, but I couldn’t help but be startled by Cheonma’s actions.

He held my hand and placed it against his chest. He couldn’t even make a fist, so he naturally grabbed his chest.

When I was greatly embarrassed and was about to pull it out in a hurry, Seol-hwa opened her mouth while maintaining a smile.

“Can you feel it?”

“What, what······”

“I asked if I could feel my heart beating.”

As soon as I heard those words, I quietly suppressed my bewildered feelings. Then, I felt the heartbeat that Seolhwa had mentioned.

-Thump! Thump! Thump!

Her heart beats as if it were alive. You might ask why she’s so fussed over a beating heart.

But she is a transcendent being. She possesses purple magic and is far removed from ordinary life.

The fact that her heart is beating is quite unusual in itself, which means that she is also alive.

“Can you feel it?”

“······yes.”

“You named her and she became like this. It’s like she was given a new life.”

“··· ···”

“It’s truly amazing. And I can’t understand it. What kind of being are you?”

I don’t know either. I scratched my head in embarrassment.

Seolhwa must have noticed my reaction and snickered. It was really surprising that Cheonma was snickering.

“I’ve decided.”

“What?”

“To feel alive while living with you.”

“··· ···”

I was already feeling anxious. I listened to Seol-hwa’s words quietly.

Then I was able to realize what she said next.

“And it is to confirm.”

“······Confirmed?”

“Yes. Confirmed. Confirmed that the main woman is a living being like you.”

The defensive battle was not passed safely.

“As I said before, the fruit of life is another life. Aren’t you curious? Do the lives born between us also have beating hearts?”

“··· ···”

From noble mtl dot com

“I’d like you to give it a name.”

The stack is just piled up. If the stack piles up and turns into an attack······

“The feeling of being alive. This feeling itself is of great interest to her.”

“······Is it good?”

“It’s an interest that will never die down, so how can it be bad?”

That I could never stop it.

‘I feel like something’s fucked up?

Just when I was starting to feel that way, a message appeared before my eyes.

[Faith rises!!!]

The printed message will also be visible in the narrative.

Seolhwa stared at the message for a while, then quietly moved her hand.

“Go away.”

-Ting!

A tale of a message that is easily dismissed with a single bite.

She snorted and said it as if it was ridiculous.

“That’s not a very good hobby. How dare you try to steal it.”

“··· ···”

What should I do?
