A Wild Man Has Entered the Academy chapter 111

111 – Food Chain (3)

Oestrus period exists in all animals. Not to mention squirrels, even humans have estrus periods.

Animals tend to vent their instincts to their heart’s content because it is difficult to suppress them, but humans tend to suppress them with their intelligence.

If humans had not been able to tolerate estrus, we would have become a society that was not only promiscuous but also terrible in another sense.

In that sense, Porori’s estrus period could not be easily overcome. Right now, I’m only targeting monsters and beasts, but I don’t know what will happen.

I will spend more time with Ellie in the future, and as such, I will have to become more accustomed to the civilized world.

There is a forest right near the academy, but you can also visit other countries. Even for this, a preparedness plan is needed.

“Ellie. Wait a minute.”

“Huh? Why?”

“Let’s talk, you two. Prisoner… No, Ratatosk.”

So, I called Ellie, who is close to the main character, separately. Her eyes widened at my call.

Unlike me, who only vaguely noticed, Ellie and other people have no idea.

Grace and Lee Yeon-ju are unaware of the existence of Porori, so it is difficult to speak out about it.

“Why Ratatosk? Is it related to these monsters?”

“Yes.”

“Um…Okay. Let’s go over there for a moment.”

As Ellie said that, she walked away from Grace and Lee Yeon-ju for a moment. They are busy examining the traces.

When we finally reached a place a little further away, he explained everything I knew, step by step.

“Ratatosk. Estrus.”

“Yes, that’s right. He said he was in heat and was relieving it.”

“These are all traces of it. Only the hairy ones were violated.”

“Uh…”

Ellie’s expression becomes confused as if she barely understood my explanation. She turned her head to the tragic scene.

While the hairless monsters died cleanly, the lower parts of all hairy ones were struck by lightning.

Only by examining more closely will we be able to find out that it was committed. Until then, even most professors will not know.

“······Is that true?”

“It’s just a guess. The possibility is high.”

“If that’s the case, do we need to get tested for s*xually transmitted diseases first? No. Did the spirit get a s*xually transmitted disease in the first place?”

“··· ···”

As expected of Ellie. Normally, one would first think of it as dangerous, but they seek a solution in a completely different direction.

Of course, this is an important issue in its own way. Since ancient times, animals have often transmitted diseases to humans.

Even if Porori is a spirit object, if it comes with an unknown disease, it is a big problem. He actually received a rabies shot.

“Let’s find Ratatosk first. He said he wouldn’t harm people, but you never know.”

“Okay.”

“Hey, girl. I’m not sick or anything.”

Indeed, a voice I hadn’t heard in a long time caught my ear. As soon as Ellie and I heard that voice, we looked in the same direction.

Porori (Ratatosk), a squirrel the size of a large dog, stood majestically with his arms crossed. Nothing has changed from before.

“Ratatosk? When did you arrive?”

“I felt this guy’s energy, so I came to do something.”

“··· ···”

While listening to Porori, I turned his head in the other direction. This is the direction where Grace and Lee Yeon-ju are.

Luckily, they didn’t notice yet because they were busy focusing on other things.

I found it much earlier than expected. If things continue like this, I think I’ll get caught soon.

“Who are those humans over there? The lady’s friends? Or your b*tches?”

“······Friend.”

There are not many wild animals(?) Missing yet. Of course, it is understandable since he was born an animal.

But I feel strange when they ask me outright if she is my female. Ellie also looks quite embarrassed.

“Really? Anyway, why were you looking for me? Were you even worried? This is really touching.”

“You’re right to be worried. You’re really dangerous.”

“It’s dangerous?”

When I heard that it was dangerous, Porori tilted his head and looked puzzled. It looks like he doesn’t know what he did.

Instead of answering, I pointed to the tragic scene(?) With my hand. Porori then turns his gaze in that direction.

Porori looked at the scene for a while and then opened his mouth, thinking he had realized something.

“Is it because I’m in heat? Are you afraid I’ll attack you or another human being?”

“Exactly.”

“Hey, friend. No matter how evolved I am, my tastes are firm. I have absolutely no interest in humans without body hair.”

Porori looked at Ellie as she said that. To be exact, it’s Ellie’s big heart.

Afterwards, the guy nodded his head and made a remark that seemed a bit like an acknowledgment.

“Still, it’s cozy. You’re going to touch that thing as you please, right?”

“··· ···”

“No? They haven’t attacked yet?”

I guess it’s because it’s estrus. He keeps spewing nonsense out of his mouth.

I was listening to Porori and glanced at Ellie. Her face is getting redder and redder, so she must be embarrassed.

Although they have evolved into spirits and are becoming more and more influenced by civilization, Porori’s true nature is that of animals. To others, it would be common sense.

Of course, I don’t touch him, but I do pamper him sometimes. Ellie also tends to overlook this part leniently.

Anyway, in order to relieve this awkward atmosphere, we have to move on to another topic. First of all, there is the issue of his estrus period.

“Why do you use lightning?”

“What?”

“When mating, a thunderbolt strikes. The entire lower body is consumed.”

“Ah. That?”

If you look at the corpses, the lower body of each body is roasted to a golden brown color by lightning. If you look at this, you can tell that Porori has a problem.

And Porori looked sad at my question and turned his gaze elsewhere. It feels like looking at a slightly distant mountain.

“There is a sad story here…”

“··· ···”

Are you trying to talk nonsense again? But looking at his vague face, I don’t think it’s all nonsense.

I think it would be a good idea to move your seat a bit first. Because I thought the story would be long.

Eventually, after Ellie delivered the news to Grace, she briefly moved to another place. She said there were good herbs and she was convinced.

“As you and I know, I’m a squirrel. But just because I’m a squirrel doesn’t mean I can only take squirrels.”

“Huh? Aren’t the same species supposed to breed together?”

After hearing Porori’s words, Ellie asked an extremely natural question. Originally, it was common for animals to breed with members of the same species.

Although mixed-bloods appear occasionally, for the most part, members of the same race breed together.

“That’s true, too. But that’s only because it’s convenient. Humans are the same, right? It’s easier to raise children if you breed with humans who live similar lives.”

“······Is that what happens?”

Ellie tilted her head. In fact, Porori’s explanation makes some sense.

People belonging to the same culture tend to have less resistance even if they are of different races.

On the other hand, if cultures are different, conflict is bound to arise, and if you are not careful, it may even lead to an irreversible incident.

“But I am different. It doesn’t matter to anyone as long as they are of the same species and not of the same species. Even if their lifestyles are different, I just have to follow them. That’s why I set out to find a female that suits me.”

“Same species?”

“Even though you humans are of the same species, your tribes are diverse. Some people have white skin, while others have brown skin. Your eyes, nose, and mouth are all different.”

It may seem that way to Porori. In reality, humans tend to be divided under the name of ‘nation.’

Typically, there are Westerners and Easterners, and Tatars are an ethnic group belonging to the Middle East.

From noble mtl dot com

There were even Northerners whose skin was so pale that they were so white that they could be considered truly diverse.

“So, did you find it?”

“I barely found it. But… hahahaha…”

Porori sighs deeply, as if lost in remorse. If you just look at their facial expressions, it’s as if the world is about to collapse.

I wondered if he had been scolded by the female, but the answer that came out of his mouth was enough to make me feel solemn.

“When I was excited, lightning exploded… And the female died…”

“··· ···”

“It was a female I barely found… I somehow wooed her and got her… It was my mistake…”

This is a story that is not funny at all. As a Porori, he even changed his old lifestyle and searched for a partner.

The problem is that even though we managed to find it, an unexpected incident occurred and the female died. It will remain a pretty big trauma.

“That’s why we practiced with the people who were kicked out of the outskirts. These guys only mess up the outskirts anyway. It wasn’t easy though.”

“Well… Nor and other animals are not of the same species or family?”

“They say it’s for practice. Even if I try to save these guys, it will only cause harm to my compatriots.”

Here is a squirrel who is both sweet and manly. If it’s fantasy, it’s fantasy, and if it’s confusing, it’s confusing.

In that case, it means that the reason the monsters inside were pushed out to the outskirts was not because of Porori’s estrus.

As we initially investigated, they were forced out due to fierce competition inside.

“I don’t know what’s going on in the forest, but it seems to be quite noisy. Even if you want to go in, once you go in, you can’t get out.”

“Are you serious?”

“It’s not a serious level. Instead, the outskirts will change depending on how strong the predators appear. Right now, only the weak ones appear, but what about next time?”

It seems that as competition intensifies, those who lag behind become stronger.

The monsters that were immediately pushed out to the outskirts were individuals that lived inside. This means that it is definitely not at a weak level.

However, it is not possible to enter deep into the depths and kill the predators. If that happens, the food chain will be broken again and it will return to its original position.

In the end, we have no choice but to completely clean up the exterior until the interior is stable. This is the best for now.

“As you know, even when we were there, all kinds of guys approached us. Imagine if those guys were pushed to the outskirts. Well, most of them would die before they were pushed back.”

“Did you handle it?”

“I don’t know that far either. Maybe they’ll come aiming for the other side?”

“In the end, we will have no choice but to deal with the monsters that have been pushed out to the outskirts. It will be difficult to collect herbs alone from now on.”

They say that cleaning the outside is only possible when the inside is stabilized.

But we can’t just leave it alone; if those who were pushed out to the outskirts take over, it will cause trouble.

“Miss. If there are any herbs you need, please let me know. I will get them for you.”

“No, it’s okay. You can take Sivar with you every weekend. The herbs needed are different each time.”

“Really? Then it’ll be okay. I’ll just leave.”

Porori left without leaving anything to say. Apart from standing proudly on two feet, he also appears to be running on all fours.

Soon, Porori left, climbing the tree with his characteristic swift movements and disappearing. Even though it is said to be in heat, it seems to be in better shape than expected.

‘By the way, do you shoot lightning every time you mate? ‘It’s ridiculous.’

Were spirits like that originally? At least the spirits I know are not like that.

Because it became a spirit creature relatively recently, there is a high possibility that it cannot control its instincts properly yet.

It’s really unfortunate that I had to kill the female I liked with my own hands. This is a story that can never be laughed at.

“······Shivar.”

“?”

It was a time when I was staring endlessly at the place where Porori had disappeared. Ellie behind me quietly called my name.

When I turned my head, I didn’t know why, but I saw Ellie with a determined expression on her face. She seemed to have something to say.

She was startled when her eyes met mine, and her face turned slightly red. There’s something about the way she can’t even make eye contact.

“You know what Ratatosk said. Every time you copulate, you get struck by lightning…”

“Yes, I heard.”

“Isn’t that something you do too?”

“······?”

I am well aware of Ellie’s four-dimensional mind. She was amazed every time.

But now she only had questions rather than admiration. Do you really think I’m the same as that rat?

Ellie, as if reading my astonished expression, hastily added her explanation. It’s a slightly embarrassed voice.

“Well, there’s something like what if! I don’t know if Sivar is in heat too, but it’s just what if!”

“··· ···”

“Well, what I want to say is…”

Ellie hesitated again as she spoke gibberish. Her face full of embarrassment and shame is a bonus.

I was also so embarrassed that I couldn’t speak. Although this makes some sense, doesn’t it mean that you view me too much as an animal?

The problem is difficult to even explain. There is no malice in Ellie’s personality and she is just purely worried.

“If you want to mate later, tell me first.”

“······f*ck. What?”

But I can’t ignore this. For the first time in a long time, the word f*ck came out of her mouth.

Luckily, it wasn’t an insult of this world and Ellie couldn’t understand it. Still, he must have read my emotions thanks to the backstory.

While Ellie’s face became even redder at my reaction, she still explained the reason with a determined expression.

“Well, I can’t help but laugh when I hear Ratatosk’s story. What if something like Ratatosk happens to you too?”

“··· ···”

It is even more absurd because it makes sense from Ellie’s point of view. I couldn’t really object either.

I don’t know who I’ll do something like that with in the future, but at least a tragedy like Ratatosk won’t happen.

“You understand? You have to do it with me first before you do it with someone else? This is just confirmation, and it’s absolutely nothing to be ashamed of!”

Ellie’s eyes are about to roll back. The fact that her face got so hot that it felt like it was going to explode was a bonus.

Now she seems to have reached a point where she doesn’t even know what she’s talking about.

To be honest… It’s not bad. Even if you look at Ellie objectively, she is a beauty and her body is great.

But maybe it’s because my Confucian ideology is triggered, but I’m a little reluctant. At least, I want to do it after confirming our feelings for each other.

“Ugh… Now that I think about it, I couldn’t even teach them s*x education. What should I do? It would be better to teach them education first…”

“··· ···”

In the end, my mind seemed to be filled with confusion. I quietly watched Ellie playing drums and janggu alone.

I was confused as to whether I had a ‘responsibility’ or if I liked it in a pure sense. Or maybe both.

First, we need to calm down. At this moment, I reached out for her hand and was about to place it on Ellie’s shoulder.

-Cooooo!!!

A roar so loud that the entire forest rang loudly pierced my ears.

Ellie, who had been confused by the roar, also came back to her senses.

“W-what did you just say… Shih, Sivar! Where are you going?!”

I immediately ran out in the direction I heard the sound. Roar is the sound most monsters make when they make a preemptive attack.

In other words, someone is being attacked by a monster. Of course, it may be okay because there is a guardian.

But my instincts are telling me. That roar is the sound of a very powerful monster.

‘I really enjoyed the forest.’

I think I’ll have to go inside soon.
