A Wild Man Has Entered the Academy - Chapter 523



Advice (5)

While Shivar and Lize’s group are each experiencing their own troubles.

Currently, Changcheon was in a state of stalemate as time passed.

No matter how powerful an army is, if it fights every day, it will eventually become tired.

Moreover, since the supply problem, which is essential for the military, is bound to hold it back, it is only natural that things will become quiet at some point.

Does that mean the fight is completely over? You could say it’s half right and half wrong.

All of the Huan Empire forces currently remaining in Changcheon have been defeated or captured.

The situation was such that the imperial palace, which was supposed to provide command and support, was completely destroyed, leaving behind nothing, and the same goes for high-ranking commanders.

Weilong is unable to fight due to his battle with Shivar. The general in charge of supply and command is captured in an unexpected surprise attack.

The last remaining general not only did not hear about the current situation, but also went out of Changcheon due to Danjucheon’s plan, which was not a plan at all.

It will take a long time to come back and the military will have to be reassembled, so the war is bound to be prolonged.

“When on earth can we go back?”

“It’s getting harder and harder to just stay in the dorm.”

“They fought the war, so why should we be the ones suffering?”

As a result, the academy students could not help but get tired little by little. They already knew that the return would be delayed because of the war.

But I couldn’t help but feel frustrated because it seemed like that period would take much longer than expected.

The Academy claims to be neutral, so if you touch it, the flames will spread throughout the world.

Moreover, since the skills of the professors and students were quite impressive, they did not target them directly.

“We are trying, too. But the situation is more complicated than we thought.”

“What’s so complicated? We need to know to make a decision.”

“It’s a very difficult situation to determine who has the initiative.”

The problem is the initiative. The war that has now broken out in the sky is a situation where all sorts of forces are involved.

The Hwan Empire, the Allied Forces, the Jeongpa, the Sapa, the Demonic Cult, etc. At least three forces gathered in one place.

The most troublesome of them all is the Demonic Cult. First of all, Sapa was the first to fall away because he was the weakest.

Although the Jeongpa clan was involved in political issues, they were fundamentally citizens of the Huan Empire, so they sided with the Huan Empire army.

Therefore, only the Demonic Cult can be considered a third force and can be said to be a variable among variables in this war.

“Is it really possible that the war situation could change just because the variable called the Demonic Cult has increased?”

A student shouted out in frustration. It was a remark that belied the tone of someone who had never experienced war.

Marlboro opened his mouth while washing his face dry. His tired expression was evident.

“Because we have no idea what their purpose is. The Demonic Cult is a very famous cult in the East. In fact, the Demonic Cult is a problem that needs to be resolved by the religious order, not the Empire of the Huan or the Allied Nations.”

“Then at the church······”

“You’re calling us all the way here to the sect? Are you just going to hold a ceremony to declare a world war?”

“··· ···”

The students were silent at Marlboro’s realistic directness. In fact, this is the most painful problem.

If we are not careful, it could lead to an unprecedented war that would engulf the world.

As Lize said, the demons destroyed the entire palace, causing a great disruption to the balance.

Demons are starting to show themselves in the world in earnest, and if a great war breaks out, it will be the end.

“The Allied Forces will not have a great war as their goal either. Their only goal will be independence.”

“Yes. They don’t want the war to last long either.”

“But is there a place to mediate?”

When Sarah pointed it out sharply, no one could open their mouths easily because it was the most realistic problem.

There are many conditions that the Allied Powers need to meet to achieve the independence they desire. The most important of these is the high-level leadership.

The problem is that the Huan Empire originally had a history of being defeated, and now even the high-ranking officials have disappeared.

Although Dan Ye-rin remains, it lacks legitimacy because it was not done according to the standard procedures.

The war was bound to be prolonged because of the many complex problems that arose. Not everyone wanted the war.

“The Allied Forces probably didn’t intend to assassinate the Crown Prince either. Clearly… there must have been some kind of accident.”

“That must be the devil’s doing. Why would the devil interfere at a time like this······”

“We’ll both end up with a headache.”

The problem here is the devil. If you get involved with the devil even once, you will be branded as a public enemy of the world.

Even though they have stepped back now, the demons will continue to work behind the scenes even after this situation is over.

“I’m here.”

As the heavy silence continued, a woman’s voice broke in. It was Lee Yeon-hwa, who had come back from checking out the situation outside.

Lee Yeon-ju was standing next to her, her expression looking somewhat dissatisfied.

At this, the professors stood up and moved around. It wasn’t a story that the students should listen to.

“Oh, it’s okay. Just listen to everything.”

“What? That means······”

You can hear everything. This means that there is no need to talk in secret.

This means that while it may tell a pretty good story, it may also tell a situation that is closer to the worst.

As the professors and students alike were thinking about this, Lee Yeon-hwa sighed and opened her mouth.

“First of all, I might be able to return to the Academy soon. The Allied Forces and the Demonic Cult have reached an agreement.”

“Excuse me?”

“at las?”

The students’ faces brightened at the news that they could return to the academy. So did some of the professors.

However, despite delivering good news, Lee Yeon-hwa’s expression was not bright.

Marlboro quickly caught on to this and calmed the students down by asking:

“But it seems like there’s a problem?”

“Yes. The warp gate is broken.”

“The warp gate is broken? Suddenly? Why?”

“What the heck? They must have broken it while fighting among themselves.”

The warp gate is broken. It’ll take at least a few days to repair it, etc.

So, in the end, it still means that we have to stay still here. This caused groans from the students.

“Is it repairable?”

“They said the Allied Forces sent a technician… I don’t know. Warp gate repair is such a difficult technology, isn’t it?”

“It was brought from an ancient ruin to begin with. The rule would have been to just replace it······”

“What was left was in the palace. Now it’s all gone.”

The students’ despairing cries were heard again. No matter what, they had to stay in this dormitory.

In the end, the students were forced to wait in the dorms for a few more days. Although they were somehow able to secure food, the problem was frustration.

You can’t train from below, you can’t sneak out like everyone else, it’s literally a suffocating prison.

Among them, there was one person who was the most frustrating······

“ha······”

It was Dan Ye-rin who was sitting alone with the other students. Her complexion had been getting worse over the past few days.

Not only was the palace devastated, but unexpected events continued to occur.

Especially the kidnapping of Shivar. This placed a huge rock on her heart.

He suffered all the damage he could while trying to help others, but he himself did nothing.

You ascended to the throne of the emperor? The palace was completely destroyed, not even a single cornerstone was left behind?

Moreover, with most of the upper class gone, not only was the future of the country bleak, but it was also difficult to gain legitimacy.

‘It’s a consolation that all the generals are still alive······’

Wei Long was so badly beaten that he had to be taken out of Changcheon in a recuperator to survive.

General in charge of supply, Jegal Hyun, was captured while trying to stop the Allied Forces.

I heard that the general who last declared neutrality is currently gathering his troops and is rushing back.

If you ask who I heard it from, I heard it from Lee Yeon-ju. There is currently no other source of information as reliable as her.

Everything was broken. The puzzle that was barely fitting together was completely shattered by someone’s punch.

“Excuse me for a moment.”

As Dan Ye-rin was sighing in frustration, someone sat across from her.

Dan Ye-rin raised her head and checked who it was. Gray hair and clear eyes.

A unique person who never loses his composure even in situations and atmospheres where everyone is expressing their frustrations.

“Can I talk to you?”

Karas, crown prince of the Matra Empire.

And currently, Dan Ye-rin is the person who is most wary.

Dan Ye-rin looked around as soon as Karas sat down across from her. There were too many eyes and ears.

“······Do I have to move my seat?”

“You say what I want to say.”

Karas responded very cleverly. Dan Ye-rin wiggled her eyes and then got up from her seat.

I would have liked to send it right away, but I can’t do that because it’s Karas’ request.

Eventually, the two moved apart to make room. Some people followed them, but no one followed them.

“So, what did you call me to talk about?”

Dan Ye-rin surprisingly invited Karas into her room. Normally, male students are not allowed in female students’ rooms.

However, given the circumstances, he was willing to call in Karas with the intention of receiving a light punishment.

Originally, no one would have called him except Shivar······ That makes it even more unpleasant.

I wish I could hurry up and finish the story. There is a reason why Dan Ye-rin is so sharp.

“I’m sure you expected it. It’s because of what’s to come.”

“I wish you would tell me more.”

“There is a high possibility that you will become the emperor of the Huan Empire. This is an undeniable fact.”

Karas suddenly brought up a story related to the throne. Dan Ye-rin’s eyes narrowed.

It is very unpleasant for a foreign official, especially a crown prince, to mention the throne of another country.

It could have been involved in internal interference and could have led to a worsening of relations between the two countries.

But the fact that he said something like that so openly means that the situation in the Huan Empire is not good.

“The prince has been assassinated, and the palace has been devastated by demons. You are the only remaining emperor’s legacy.”

“How unexpected. I thought you had recruited one of my siblings.”

“I’m telling you in advance that I didn’t do anything. I’m serious about this.”

I did nothing. This actually sounded strange.

The liar was on the same level as saying, “I didn’t lie.” But Dan Ye-rin felt strange.

Karas clearly had an ulterior motive. However, the ulterior motive was so obvious that it made him even more suspicious.

‘Since the Crown Prince is involved in a civil war, it is only right for the Matra Empire to bring in troops. This much was predictable.’

Karas was clearly aware of this and was taken advantage of. He did not evacuate even though he knew of the signs of civil war.

Beyond the Matra Empire, the West could exert direct and indirect influence on the East. This was expected.

But what is the ultimate goal? Why on earth does Karas treat all of this as a ‘process’?

‘The palace has been damaged by the devils’ machinations. So, if we seek help from the sect, we can escape their influence.’

Everyone has been harmed by the devil’s tricks. If public opinion is developed in this way, the situation can be much better.

If I interfered in internal affairs for no reason, the Matra Empire could have become entangled with the devil. So what could it be?

What on earth do you want that makes you want to prolong a fight that you could benefit from by just sitting still?

I had no idea what was going on in that snake-like guy’s head.

“You can take all the profits without doing anything, just like you said. Then what do you want?”

“On the contrary, I will make an offer. How many emperor’s titles do you want?”

“What does that mean?”

“Is the emperor’s seat filled with thorns and even filth and fabrications, or is it the emperor’s seat that has secured legitimacy?”

“··· ···”

Dan Ye-rin frowned. It fit her current situation perfectly.

If no one helps her, she will face the former situation, and if someone helps her, she will face the latter situation.

Somebody included Shivar, but he is now effectively ruled out. In other words, another helper is needed.

“I can help you become the latter.”

“How?”

“In a way that will lead you to end the civil war. Instead.”

Karas added the word “substitute.” He then smiled and said.

“Give up Shivar.”

“··· ···”

“Okay. Then······”

Even if the road is dirty and muddy, will you find someone who will stay by your side until the end?

“What will you choose?”

Would you choose the rightful, yet lonely and desolate position of the emperor?

Dan Ye-rin realized what Karas’ goal was and let out a laugh.

After laughing silently for a while, he soon became serious and said.

“Can I say something?”

“Tell me.”

“I want to rip that tongue out right now.”

“Thank you for the compliment.”

Karas just smiled brightly.
