A Wild Man Has Entered the Academy

Freshman Banquet (1)

***

The final exam usually lasts a week, but this exam ended in just five days.

When Kara, the commander and a major part of the team’s strength, was captured as a prisoner, it was essentially game over.

Negotiations were pursued to deliver the final blow. Controlling the territory wasn’t the goal but rather stripping their supplies, leaving them unable to endure.

The price of not setting proper vigilance was severe. However, this was the fault of the students on duty at the time.

Once the opposing team wrote a surrender document, the professors announced the end of the exam.

“Everyone did well. The exam ended earlier than expected, but there will be no classes for the remainder, so rest up.”

“What about vacation?”

A student raised their hand and asked. Usually, after finals, vacation naturally begins.

Marlboro, upon hearing the question, nodded as if just realizing it.

“I forgot to mention. Vacation starts next week. Report cards will be sent to each dorm.”

“Ah, finally vacation.”

“What will you do during vacation?”

“Not sure? Probably return home for a while.”

Vacation follows the end of finals, a rule unchanged even in a different world.

Even for academy students, vacations are always delightful. Having worked hard, they can finally rest for a while.

‘I’ll be visiting Byzantium with Rize, so I’ll be gone for about half a month. After that...’

The academy’s vacation is quite long, similar to a university, lasting about a month and a half to two months.

During this period in the Soul World, you can roam outside the academy and participate in various activities.

However, since mentors return to their homelands, training is tough. If you don’t trade stocks, you earn money intensely during this period.

‘It’s time to deal with that demon, isn’t it?’

Though not directly related to the academy’s collapse, there’s a troublesome demon that needs addressing.

The demon itself is strong, and the weapon it possesses is outrageously powerful. It synergizes with the demon’s traits.

I plan to visit the demon’s location after returning from Byzantium. I’ll also check out the city near the academy.

“Kara, will you return home during vacation?”

“No. Just the round trip would take up half the vacation. There’s a train, but it doesn’t reach Tatars. You’d need to rent a camel to cross the desert.”

“Camel...?”

As Marlboro concluded his speech and people started leaving, Luna tilted her head at Kara’s mention of riding a camel. She seemed unsure.

Kara chuckled and teased a bit.

“Do you not know what a camel is?”

“No, I don’t.”

“...”

Kara looked flabbergasted at Luna’s genuine ignorance. Given the world setting, it’s a reasonable reaction.

On Earth, with the internet, even ordinary people can see what’s happening in distant countries.

However, that’s not the case here. Unless you’re interested in books, you might not know about creatures from other nations.

Kara, realizing this, paused and explained.

“Think of it as a horse that operates in the desert. Camels are specialized for the desert’s heat. Their distinguishing feature is the humps on their backs.”

“Hmm... I still don’t get it. Grace, do you know?”

“I’ve read about it. They’re somewhat bizarre-looking creatures.”Upstodatee from

Calling camels bizarre... I don’t think so.

When you think about it, giraffes are more bizarre. How can a creature with a neck over two meters exist?

There’s a saying that if giraffes exist, maybe unicorns do too.

‘Are there giraffes here?’

I should check the animal encyclopedia later. In a world with monsters, it’d be strange if there weren’t giraffes.

There are even squirrels that shoot lightning. Their absence would be odd.

“Oh, right. We’re supposed to go for Sivar’s clothes fitting this weekend, right?”

“Yes, that’s correct.”

As we left the exam hall, Kara mentioned the weekend fitting for my formal attire.

Originally, only Grace and Kara were going to go, but I added Ellie to the mix.

I thought it’d be better for everyone to go together.

“Ellie.”

“Huh? Why Ellie?”

“Ellie should come too. I told them.”

“Hmm. Is that so?”

Kara accepted the idea of Ellie joining without much concern.

“Most recorded average grades. But those who neglected during the night watch received the lowest possible scores.”

“I expected that. Now then...”

Rod paused before getting to the main point.

“What about Sivar?”

“Sivar is...”

Marlboro, representing the group, hesitated and looked at the other professors.

When the professors met Marlboro’s eyes, they nodded, signaling agreement.

Marlboro then turned back to Rod and spoke in a somewhat heavy tone.

“As you might expect, he’s very dangerous.”

“Dangerous, you say...”

“Yes. He possesses regenerative abilities beyond human limits. He infiltrated the castle without formal training. Not to mention his formidable body and mana. As a student, he lacks nothing.”

Rod immediately understood Marlboro’s point. As a student, Sivar is exemplary.

But beyond that, he’s dangerous. His unpredictable nature and eccentricities are concerning.

Even his eccentricities showed Sivar’s potential danger. Remember the human catapult incident during finals?

“Moreover, as you know, Sivar is an extraordinary student. Despite just adapting to civilization, he displayed numerous ideas. Especially during the finals, capturing Kara secured victory.”

“Many students attempted to capture prisoners, didn’t they?”

“Yes. The issue is Sivar, who just adapted to civilization and grasped siege warfare concepts, did it.”

Some people grasp ten ideas from learning one, while others can’t even grasp two.

Sivar is the former. Even with basic concepts, he conceived various strategies.

“If Sivar ever harbors ill intentions... we can’t stop him.”

“Meaning I would need to intervene.”

“Yes.”

“I’ve considered that, so don’t worry.”

“That’s reassuring, but...”

Marlboro still looked uneasy. Other professors felt the same.

Rod noticed and raised an eyebrow.

“Is there another issue?”

“It’s... about Sivar’s relationships.”

“Relationships?”

“Yes. Normally, we keep personal matters confidential, but given it’s Sivar...”

This was agreed upon with the professors. While Sivar himself isn’t the issue, his connections are problematic.

In a third-party perspective, it seemed entertaining. But digging deeper, it was quite serious.

Grace from the Berche duchy, Kara the princess of Tatars, and Luna, showing recent outstanding growth.

All three seemed to have romantic feelings for Sivar, which astonished Rod.

“Is that true? Those three?”

“Yes. We’re sure. They wouldn’t engage in physical contact without romantic interest.”

“Hahaha.”

Rod laughed heartily. Again, it was a hearty laugh.

It was close to a proud feeling. Other professors blinked, sensing the same.

“Indeed. A man should be like that. Well done.”

“...Principal? This isn’t something to laugh about; it could become serious...”

“There’s a clear solution, so no need to worry.”

“A solution?”

“Yes. A solution.”

Rod’s proposed solution was remarkably simple.

“Gain a reputation like Rize or myself. As a Sword Saint, Holy Warrior, or Martial Saint.”

“...”

“Honestly, with Sivar’s skills, it’s not impossible.”

The answer was to gain fame. Rod, the very person, was an example.

Though politically distant, no one could treat him lightly unless it was the state itself.

“If worse comes to worst, I’ll help him directly. So don’t worry too much.”

Rod said with a smile. The professors couldn’t say more about it.

[Faith increases!]

“?”

Sivar, eating bread at home, just blinked in confusion.
