A Wild Man Has Entered the Academy - Chapter 517



The Nine-Tailed Fox (4)

“Heh heh······ Ugh······!”

How should I describe this situation? I’m out of breath. Yes. That’s exactly how I feel.

Luna tried to force herself to catch her breath, which was not easy to catch. Not only was her breathing difficult, but her lungs felt like they were going to burst.

Climbing a cliff is climbing, but the biggest obstacle is the height. As you climb higher, the air naturally becomes thinner.

As the air became thinner, breathing became more difficult, and as breathing became more difficult, strength gradually left my body.

And what about my body? My limbs are shaking like aspen trees and I feel like I could collapse at any moment.

‘It’s fortunate that I was able to force myself to create some space······’

She is currently seeking refuge in a cave-like place. You might think it’s strange to have a cave in the middle of a cliff.

So Luna thought. If there is no place to rest, let’s make one ourselves. If we don’t do that, we will really die.

So he made a large hole in the cliff with a sword and trimmed the area around it to create a makeshift cave.

It was a bit of a stretch, as I was practically holding onto the cliff with one hand. But I still managed to create a space to rest.

“Hehehehehehehehehe”

“Good improvisation. I’ll forgive you for this.”

While Luna was lying exhausted, Lize came up next to her. She looked amazed at the makeshift cave.

In fact, she intends to accept Luna immediately if she falls due to lack of strength. She probably wouldn’t have even gone up in the first place.

However, Luna improvised and built a makeshift cave herself, and chose to rest inside it.

Although it was practically a gamble, Luna chose the best option. She liked it.

“Hehe …

“Please speak.”

“How much more······ do I have······ left······?”

It was difficult to breathe because the altitude was high enough to be considered a mountainous area. But I managed to keep breathing until the end.

When Lize heard that, she looked up at the sky. Even though she had been climbing for two hours, the sky was still blue.

There was still time left before the sun set. Lize nodded and answered.

“About a quarter of the way? I think we’re about there. The clouds are still far away.”

“··· ···”

“Of course, it’s meaningless since the nine-tailed fox might have been welcoming you. You’ll have to go and see for yourself to find out.”

When I heard that, I felt a surge of helplessness. I didn’t want to do anything and just wanted to lie around.

But Luna knew that it shouldn’t be like that. She let out a long sigh.

‘Why did I have to go through all this trouble?’

Suddenly, this thought occurred to me. Why am I the only one who is having such a hard time out of all the people?

Ah. Of course, Shivar is having a hard time too. But he’s not as strong as that guy, is he? Kara is much stronger in the first place.

All I have is my two eyes. They can be used to examine the effects of objects in more detail, or to glimpse into a person’s physical abilities.

‘······It’s a bit too special.’

I have no idea when this started. Was it after I entered the academy, or when I started learning from my teacher?

Luna’s eyes slowly began to close in a dazed state. She had been through so much, her head was ordering her body to rest.

If only I could sleep a little longer like this, it would be perfect. But there are people who can’t watch this with their eyes open.

“Sister Luna. If you sleep now, you will never be able to go up there again.”

“··· ···”

“If you’re sleeping, I won’t stop you. But you never know where I might take you while you’re sleeping.”

“······I’ll go.”

Luna staggered to her feet at Lize’s menacing threat. Then she poked her head out of the cave.

“wow.”

As soon as I looked down, I couldn’t help but exclaim. It was so dizzying that even the expression “dizzy” wasn’t enough.

Widely spread green forests and rocky mountains scattered here and there. Each rocky mountain was surrounded by a belt of clouds.

Luna stared blankly at the scenery, then raised her head. In another sense, it was a distant scenery.

Because of the clouds, it’s hard to tell where the peak is. As Lize said, we have no choice but to climb up ourselves.

‘If I had known this would happen, I would have brought a spare dagger.’

The Usk sword that I have been using well so far. Although this sword has good effects, it is not suitable for climbing because it is too good.

It can be used for climbing and then falling straight down to the ground. That’s how effective the Usk sword is.

In the end, it meant that she had no choice but to climb with her bare hands. Luna took a deep breath and circulated the magical power within her body.

Although the overall amount of horsepower has decreased, the efficiency itself feels like it has improved. The horsepower circuit has been cleaned up very well.

Also, maybe because it was a mountainous area, or maybe because it was basically a place with abundant magical power, I was able to recharge to some extent just by breathing.

“Okay. Let’s go back up. There’s not much left.”

“······You said it went up to a quarter just now?”

“I have to do this because it gives me strength.”

“··· ···”

Luna looked at Lize strangely and then straightened her hair. Her hair was longer than she had expected, but it was a little tangled.

After that, I tied my hair up tightly so that it wouldn’t get in the way and started climbing with a determined mind.

It’s still far away, but if I keep doing this, I’ll get there someday. I tried not to give up.

‘Let’s just look ahead and move forward. We can’t see above.’

I only focused on the support that could firmly secure my hands and feet, and did not look up at my head.

I thought it would just make things more difficult. On top of that, my breathing was becoming more and more difficult.

So I climbed silently, with an empty mind. But even though my head was empty, my heart was not.

‘The words the saint told me······’

The feeling of reversing the balance of the body that Lize taught me. How can I realize that feeling?

Before, I had emptied my head, but now it was the opposite. My head was full of theories, and my body climbed on its own.

Luna felt a strange sensation in her body as she thought about it and read her thoughts to figure out what she wanted.

At that moment, the magical power inside my body was about to rotate in a strange direction.

-Shaaa

Something obstructed Luna’s vision. Luna suddenly raised her head.

When I raised my head, I saw that I had already reached a height where clouds were thickly present. Since I had emptied my mind, I didn’t even know when I arrived.

-Ouch! Ouch!

“Ugh?!”

But the price was terrible. Luna moaned in pain as she felt it everywhere in her body.

As I emptied my mind, I didn’t even notice the pain, but as my thinking ability returned, the pain came rushing back all at once.

The problem is that it is not easy to respond because all directions are filled with clouds. What’s more, breathing is also difficult.

Whether it was the clouds blocking my breathing or the air being thinner than before, breathing became nearly impossible.

‘Ouch, we’re in big trouble······!’

Luna clung to the wall like a cicada. It was the best she could do.

It felt like if I even moved my finger it would just slide down.

Digging a makeshift cave like before was difficult. I didn’t even have the strength to hold it with one hand.

It’s a dilemma, essentially: should we fall down or hold on a little longer?

‘If it keeps falling like this······!’

I have to climb back up that terrifying height with my bare hands. Lize has already made it clear that she won’t help me.

What should I do? My body is on the verge of losing control of my mind. It is screaming for comfort.

‘Somehow······somehow balance······’

There was no choice but to force herself to learn the method Lize had taught her. Luna concentrated on the magical power within her body.

That strange flow I felt a moment ago. It wasn’t magic, but the force of gravity coming down from above.

No. Gravity doesn’t come from above. It feels like someone is pulling you hard from below.

Don’t leave here. If you do, you’ll soar into the sky and disappear forever.

‘You have to root it out! Not against it······!’

Let’s shake off the pulling from below. That thought dominated Luna’s head and body.

The magical power within the body begins to follow the ‘reverse flow’, and the body and mind are shaken accordingly.

That was when.

[Faith declines.]

A message printed in Luna’s field of vision. It is a message that faith has declined, not increased.

I couldn’t help but be startled by the message. I wondered if this might be the answer.

-Shoot!

“······ah?”

But that thought didn’t last long, because my body felt ‘flipped’.

I was clearly hanging from a cliff, so why did my body flip over? I couldn’t even react because of that.

But the fact that she was falling didn’t change. Luna’s body ‘fell’ through the clouds and into the sky.

“Waaah!!!”

Luna’s mighty scream echoed throughout the mountain. She struggled to hang on somehow.

I even used the Usk Sword as a last resort, but it was meaningless. The Usk Sword split the cliff very cleanly.

‘Hey, Saint! Where are you?!’

-Whew!

While searching for Lize, even the clouds broke through and soared into the sky. Luna looked down.

I was just wondering, but then I saw the blue sky. What would happen if I flew beyond that sky?

When he was lamenting his life and saying that it was fucked up inside.

-chin!

Someone grabbed Luna’s face with both hands. Her cheeks were crushed.

Luna looked at the being that had caught her, relieved for a moment that she had stopped midway.

Even though the world had turned 180 degrees and I had to see the face upside down, I could see clearly.

“··· ···”

“··· ···”

A small whisker pattern on his cheek. Eyes that are amber in color like those of a beast. Sharp, yet with a sinister aura.

From her beautifully shining black hair to her beauty full of s*xiness.

Even though she was looking upside down, her beauty did not fade at all.

“······who are you?”

Luna asked in a trembling voice.

“That’s what I wanted to ask?”

The young woman asked back in a bewildered voice.
