A Wild Man Has Entered the Academy - Chapter 524
Crisis (1)
Dan Yerin glared at Karas silently at his demand to give up Shivar.
As if this was the true goal, Karas’ smile, which had been beaming, grew even deeper.
‘Really······’
He is a man whose heart is unfathomable. Dan Ye-rin couldn’t help but think of Karas that way.
In fact, I’ve known for a long time that he’s a dark-hearted man. It’s something I’ve learned from his words and actions that I’ve observed so far.
A weirdo who had no reason to enroll in the academy, unlike himself, but enrolled simply out of curiosity.
He said that it wasn’t just him, but his twin brothers came with him. It’s a judgment that makes me very curious.
‘I heard it was quite a difficult process.’
Does that mean Karasu grew up like a greenhouse flower? I can say with absolute certainty that it did not.
I have obtained some truly astonishing information that the Emperor was once imprisoned by his own blinded brother.
Even though it was an open secret, it was a story that came out quickly if you dug a little. Unlike yourself.
I had a slight crush on him because of his similar circumstances. He was handsome and had an overflowing ambition that was nice to see.
But as time went by, my favorability began to diminish, and eventually I couldn’t help but feel feelings that were close to disgust.
I don’t know if it was a story from another country, but he wanted the same person, and he wanted it without regard to the means and methods.
There were signs that Karas was strangely close to Shivar, and there were even rumors that they got along well.
Although Shivardo found Karasu’s eccentric side annoying, he didn’t seem to truly dislike him.
“······I just want to ask one thing.”
“Tell me.”
“Why do you want Shivar so much? Is there no talent in the Matra Empire?”
That’s why I became even more curious. Why does Karas desire Shivar so strongly?
Why do you want Shivar? There is a political aspect to it, but it is more about what you want as an individual and as a woman.
At first it was for political purposes, but as time went by, it became a case of being completely absorbed in the person called Shivar.
He realized why there were so many women by his side and he wanted to have them all to himself if possible.
I just changed the route because I realized it was hard. The only variables are the Tatar princess and Kara.
Because the only person who could directly or indirectly influence the country was Kara.
And this was a story that also applied to Karas, a variable that appeared out of nowhere.
“Talent… Our empire has a lot of talent. Even if there are a lot, there are too many.”
“That doesn’t sound like a very good thing.”
“People are so complex that it’s beyond words. I’m sure you agree with that.”
Karas suddenly brought up a philosophical discussion. Dan Ye-rin was puzzled for a moment, but agreed with what he said.
Humans are complex creatures that are difficult to express in words, because they are more intelligent and rational than any other creature.
A being that sometimes shows sides that are worse than those of an animal, but at other times shows achievements that surprise everyone.
That’s why she knows very well how difficult it is to deal with people.
It is also true that when one’s life is in danger, one abandons and betrays even God.
“It’s very difficult for even I to manipulate people as I wish. Unless they have a clear weakness or debt.”
“··· ···”
“But Shivar is different. Perhaps because he is less affected by civilization, he values promises made between people. No. To be exact, he seems to not know the concept of betrayal.”
Dan Ye-rin felt sympathy after hearing Karas’s comment. In reality, it seems that Shivar does not understand the concept of betrayal.
A one-dimensional way of thinking that says that if people make a promise between themselves, they should naturally keep it.
But that way of thinking can easily become a so-called fool. But Shivar added more to it.
I don’t know why people betray, but betrayal is bad. So, traitors deserve to be beaten up.
In many ways, it could be said that it was a Shivar-like way of thinking, and this was his charm.
“Moreover, he can transform into anything. He can become a shield that protects someone, or a sword that strikes down any being.”
“··· ···”
“Not just the sword and shield. Interpreting, espionage, improvisation, etc. Even the word ‘versatile’ is an understatement.”
A multi-talented character with an extremely low chance of betrayal. Dan Ye-rin said something after hearing this.
“He looks like a character straight out of a fairy tale.”
“Even in fairy tales, it’s rare to find someone this capable and upright. This isn’t a fairy tale, it’s a fantasy.”
“And you’re trying to steal that person away from me.”
“Weren’t you originally one of them?”
That’s right. Dan Ye-rin’s eyes sank.
Now Karas is being tempted by the devil. Will he give up on Shivar or will he take him to the end?
Honestly, in terms of probability, it would be easiest to give up on Shivar. I’m not even sure if we’ll walk the thorny path together.
“If I give up Shivar, will others also give up? I wonder.”
“Well, that’s true. I’m concerned about the Tatar princess, but… I’ll think about that later.”
“I guess you came here thinking of taking care of me first.”
At those words, Karas shrugged his shoulders. He meant that you can think whatever you want.
And so, only a quiet silence settled between the two. Dan Ye-rin was given time to choose.
Dan Ye-rin is in a situation where she has to take on all the unfavorable conditions. At the same time, she has to weigh her own ambitions and faith.
Karas waited silently until her mouth opened, smiling broadly as if the outcome was already decided.
“······The answer has been given.”
“So, what’s the answer?”
“My answer is······”
In the heavy silence, Dan Ye-rin’s mouth opened. She looked straight at Karas.
Soon, the face that had been filled with agony disappeared without a trace, and only a mocking expression was revealed.
For a moment, Karas was puzzled by that expression, but then the words that came out of Dan Yerin’s mouth.
“That’s bullshit.”
“··· ···”
“I fell over.”
It was a truly frivolous insult, unbecoming of one of noble station.
Karas couldn’t help but be dumbfounded, as if he hadn’t imagined that he would be cursed at. It was far beyond his expectations.
“A path full of thorns? You are right. But you are mistaken. My life has been a path full of thorns since I was born.”
“··· ···”
“Is it any good if the thorns become a little sharper? I can win the throne of the emperor all by myself.”
Confident yet arrogant answers came back one after another. Karas’ smile gradually disappeared.
“Rather, I feel sorry for you. Since you were so blatantly greedy, you will now be subject to my constant restraint.”
“······You are brimming with confidence. As you know, the Hwan Empire will······”
“It’ll shake. But if it doesn’t collapse, it can be resurrected at any time. Even if it rolls around in a field of shit, as long as it survives, that’s enough. And······”
Dan Ye-rin paused for a moment and thought about the moment when Shivar reached out his hand first.
The way he looked at himself when he escaped the assassination crisis and even won the victory over the Weilong.
Just thinking about that moment made my body feel strangely hot and I rubbed my thighs. My feelings for her as a person of the opposite s*x were going crazy.
“If there’s someone who’ll be with you through thorny or shitty roads… that wouldn’t be so bad. No, it’s actually good.”
“··· ···”
“It’s a blessing to have someone like that in our lives. Don’t you know that?”
“Tsk.”
Karas clicked his tongue as if he had hit the nail on the head. Everything Dan Ye-rin said was right.
Even if you walk towards hell, there is someone by your side. This is realistically impossible.
It’s difficult even for people living ordinary lives, so how much more difficult is it for Karasu and Dan Yerin, who are in the upper class? Needless to say.
You have to be very anxious about being betrayed by someone, and if this gets worse, there are countless cases where it develops into paranoia.
Historically, there has never been a king who ruled his subjects without being suspicious. Circumstances make that so.
“You made the wrong choice. You won’t need my help.”
“It wasn’t needed in the first place.”
“It really annoys me every time I see it.”
“Thank you for the compliment.”
Dan Ye-rin returns everything she has received so far. This time, she smiles while Karas frowns.
Then Karas went out without saying a word. He seemed quite upset.
Dan Ye-rin looked at his back and cheered for a moment, but then thought to herself.
‘That guy will definitely come up with something worse. If that’s the case, I have to do something to match it······’

As soon as that thought occurred to her, Dan Ye-rin unconsciously placed her hand on her lower abdomen.
She was startled for a moment, but soon thought deeply.
‘······Should I really do it?’
She was dreaming of a safer future.

Meanwhile, at that time, the Demonic Cult.
“Ugh······”
“Hmm. Not yet? My body hasn’t even loosened up yet.”
Shivar was receiving an education, not from a fairy tale, but from a celestial horse.
“If you’re going to give up, then just eat your mouth······”
“You can still do it.”
It was also a fight to preserve chastity.
