A Wild Man Has Entered the Academy - Chapter 516



The Nine-Tailed Fox (3)

-Kuaaah!

Luna’s scream, fired by Lize, echoed throughout the mountain.

Thanks to their high position on the cliff, the other party could clearly hear the screams.

At first I was startled and looked towards where the scream came from, but soon I realized that it was okay.

Luna leaped over the cliff, flapped her arms, and finally managed to hang on to the cliff.

The group stared blankly at the yellow head hanging from the cliff, then looked at each other.

“It’s a good thing I didn’t go up.”

“Is that so?”

“It looks like the saint just threw Luna away. Did a lot of things build up for you?”

Kara brought up a story that seemed reasonable. The group nodded their heads in agreement.

Luna’s speech, which was almost entirely devoid of malice and only served to create confusion, was misunderstood by people.

However, since there was a clear point to the confusion, it is difficult to refute it.

It’s not that I feel bad, but I guess it’s a pain that has a different meaning than factual violence.

Anyway, Luna’s way of speaking gave off that kind of feeling, so I thought I knew why Lize was acting that way.

“Come to think of it, didn’t the saintess call Luna her sister?”

“I’ve heard it a few times. When did Luna become a believer in Chaos?”

“Judging by the way you speak, it doesn’t seem strange that Chaos would like it, right?”

Everyone said, “That’s what Ellie said, right?” and moved on. The conclusion was that Luna was in the wrong.

The group decided to camp nearby until they returned. Kara, the temporary leader, said.

“There’s a river nearby, and there’s a place perfect for camping, so don’t worry. The night watch might be a bit of a headache though.”

“I can counter it to some extent with magic.”

“That’s fine, Ellie. Are there any useful herbs nearby?”

“I found it, but there are things I need to dry, so it’ll take some time.”

The gap created by the temporary departure of Lize and Luna. Lize’s absence in particular is terrifyingly large.

The number of people is the same. It would be quite difficult for three people to keep watch. Even Ellie is in a non-combat role.

No matter how great a warrior Kara is, it’s hard to overcome the physical burden. This forest is full of all kinds of danger.

“There’s a lot to think about. First of all······”

-Krrrr······

Kara had no choice but to cut off mid-sentence because of the howling of an animal that reached her ears.

Other people must have heard the sound as well, as they all closed their mouths and turned their heads. The direction from which the sound came was straight ahead.

As soon as they realized that the giant being called Lize had disappeared, the forest dwellers began to slowly target the group.

-Busrug

Soon, the beasts revealed themselves from the bushes in front of them. It was a tiger with impressive sharp fangs.

The majesty of the mountain range, which would make your stomach churn just by looking at it, was revealed.

Grace pulled Ellie back at the appearance of the mountain army and immediately got into a battle stance.

“······It’s a tiger. Actually, this might be better.”

“Better?”

“There’s that guy.”

“I almost got upset, guys.”

As soon as Kara spoke with a sly smile, Ratatosk, who had been in Ellie’s arms, suddenly fell down.

Then he walked briskly on his short legs and stood proudly in front of the tiger.

Although Ratatosk was a squirrel the size of a large dog, it was tiny compared to a tiger.

“Krrrrrr······!”

“It’s a bit big.”

Ratatosk muttered and slowly took up his position.

A pose where the right hand is on the ground and the right leg is stepped back. It is as if one has fallen from above and landed.

Everyone was suspicious because it was a strange posture for a squirrel, but it was clearly ‘preparation’.

“Kyaang!!”

The tiger opened its huge mouth and quickly pounced. It was agile compared to its large body.

But this was what Ratatosk was after. He bounced his body hard and charged towards the tiger’s face.

Ratatosk leaped at a speed much faster than a tiger. Finally, he shrugged and shouted.

“Cheolsan High School!”

It’s a technique name that seems like it was learned from someone. However, its destructive power is terrifying.

-Woojijik!

The tiger’s face, hit hard by Ratatosk’s iron sling, collapsed and fell apart.

Almost the entire face had collapsed, making for a hideous appearance. Naturally, the tiger stopped running and collapsed.

A tiger that was defeated with just one blow. It was a natural result of attacking the being that ruled the Forest of Chaos.

“Um… Anyway, since he’s here, there won’t be much of a physical threat. I think I just need to sleep well.”

“That’s right.”

“Ratatowski. Would you like some acorns? I brought some for you. I’ll give you two especially.”

“Oh! As expected from the master!”

There were no problems with the group that Lize and Luna left with.

All you have to worry about is the two people climbing the cliff.

‘You’ll do well, right?’

Kara looked at Luna, who was climbing the cliff, and then took a step forward.

*****

Shit. I’m going to fall over. Those were Luna’s thoughts as she climbed the cliff.

Although I was able to climb up thanks to Lize personally adjusting the start, I was still far from the end of the cliff.

Rock climbing is considered one of the toughest sports in the world. Every muscle is used.

It’s okay because I can use magic power. If I couldn’t even use magic power, I would have fallen a long time ago.

‘Didn’t Shivar climb the monument naked in the old days?’

To get rid of the thought that it was difficult, I filled my head with all sorts of random thoughts. Shivar was one of them.

The monument blocks magical powers, so you have to climb it virtually naked. And that’s what Shivar did.

Of course, this cliff is much higher than the monument, but he is naked. An anecdote that shows his fearsome physical abilities.

If it was Shivar like that, he would have climbed up this cliff easily. He would have jumped high instead of climbing with his hands like I did.

“We live in gravity. Gravity is one of the laws of heaven.”

“Ugh······ Ugh······”

“Feel the full force of gravity and try to control it. Then you will feel much better.”

While Luna was climbing the mountain with her back to her neck, Lize gave her advice.

Unlike Luna, he climbs the cliff comfortably on two legs. And unlike anyone else, he has a calm face as a bonus.

“Gravity······ right?”

“Yes. Wasn’t the world turned upside down the last time Lies attacked the Academy?”

The Academy raid incident. I remember it clearly.

He went to Shivar after receiving the revelation of chaos, and at some point the world turned 90 degrees and fell.

My eyes could clearly see the world as it was, but as soon as I took a step, the world broke apart.

Fortunately, there was no fatal fall, but the incident left a deep impression on Luna.

“If you think about it, applying it will make things a little easier.”

“······Isn’t that only possible with blue?”

“That’s true, but it’s only something you can use freely. Moreover, blue is also possible for the body, not the world.”

“Not the world, but the body······”

The lies of that time turned the world upside down. Nevertheless, Lord and Lize fought against the lies through propaganda.

So what if we think of this situation as a world turned upside down like that, and upset the balance of our bodies?

‘······Easier said than done.’

Luna sighed. What Lize had mentioned was far from theory.

It’s close to the level of “just do this and that”. It’s hard to see it as a proper theory.

“······Your Majesty.”

“Yes. Go ahead.”

“How many years did you work to gain that power, Saint?”

“Well. Actually, I learned martial arts late in life… It took me about 3 years?”

“and.”

Only three years. Only three years. Luna let out a gasp of absurdity.

Even though she learned martial arts late in life, it took her three years to reach that level. I was very curious about her talent.

“There’s no need to be surprised. If Ms. Luna had set her mind to it and learned it, it wouldn’t have taken even a week. If there were a drastic prescription like the one we have now, it would have been even shorter.”

“What on earth do you think of me? I’m not like that either.”

“How long has it been since you learned about cohesion and pore theory and used it?”

As soon as Luna heard that, she remembered the theory she had learned a year ago. The theory she had learned from Kronos and Gloria.

It was buried thanks to Shivar’s splendid Death Beam, but Luna showed it off as soon as she heard the theory. It can be said to be an overwhelming talent.

And that’s not all? He absorbed everything he learned like a sponge absorbing water. Even the Lord was impressed.

Although he has not reached the level of maturity due to his lack of experience and physical ability, he is at an overwhelming level compared to his peers.

If Luna’s talent had been combined with Kara’s experience, a terrifying monster would have been born. It might have even caused significant damage to Shivar.

“That’s because the people who taught me back then taught me well. Did Shivar learn it right away?”

“I see. So you’re saying I can’t teach you?”

“No. Why is it like that······ Ugh!”

-Kwarrrr!

Luna screamed as she was barely able to reach the boulder that had collapsed.

The fallen stone fell down the cliff. And it did so for a long time.

She swallowed hard and looked down at the distant cliff, then raised her head.

Below is a precipice. Above is a steep cliff. Whatever it was, my heart became complicated.

“······Your Majesty.”

“Yes. Go ahead.”

“If I fall, you’ll catch me, right?”

“That’s a given.”

Well then, that’s fortunate. Just as Luna was about to feel relieved.

“I will accept it from the bottom.”

“··· ···”

“It’ll be Luna who has to go up again.”

“This guy······”

Luna climbed up the cliff with all her might, recalling the techniques Lize had taught her.

It’s not about the world, but about twisting the balance of your body to make it a little more comfortable. That’s the only way to achieve it.

‘I envy Shivar.’

They say that if your body is good, your head won’t suffer, but in my case, both my body and head are suffering.

Luna clenched her teeth and slowly crawled up.

“It’s getting dark soon. Should we go and rest for a bit?”

“··· ···”

“Ah. Sister Luna can’t rest. I’ll rest and go. My legs hurt a little.”

I really wanted to hit him.
