A Wild Man Has Entered the Academy chapter 218

218 – Observation (1)

Originally, on weekends, we go into the forest to dig up various herbs, hunt, mark our territory, etc. There is a lot to do.

However, the hunter appeared, and after Porori’s life force was taken away, the Lord banned entry. This was no different for me.

No matter how much I am, I will be helpless if the hunter attacks me by surprise. This was something I agreed with, so I listened obediently.

Instead, I decided to visit Jane’s workshop. I haven’t met Jane recently, so I don’t know how far things have progressed.

It is estimated that Jane would have produced more than half of the pieces, but it is best to inspect them. He needs to figure out what kind of trouble he’s faced with.

‘It was originally completed after the collapse of the Academy.’

Even for Jane, inventing an Iron Man suit is a very arduous task. Even this world does not have highly developed technology like Earth.

My job is to think about it together if there is a blockage, and fill in the gaps if there is something lacking. Because I am an investor.

Just trust and wait and it will be enough. What you need to be most concerned about is her health.

Just like geniuses, they tend to focus themselves to the point of harming their own bodies.

In particular, Jane has to take extra care because she makes things with her own two hands.

‘Because since ancient times, the blacksmith profession often involves damaging one’s body.’

If nothing else, you shouldn’t hurt your hands. For Jane, hands are a matter directly related to life.

Once Jane’s condition is checked, if there is a problem, she will stop her work immediately.

Jane will tell you she doesn’t need to, but her body and brain are her assets.

Chijijik! Cheesy!

It wasn’t long before we entered Jane’s familiar studio.

Originally, the workshop is closed with a key, but since I am an investor, I can visit at any time.

And as soon as you step inside, you hear the sound of welding. It looks like he’s working hard even though it’s the weekend.

‘Oh… I think I made quite a lot?’

I passed Jane, who was welding while wearing a mask, and checked the items she had made.

It may seem like a bit of a mess, but if you look closely, you can see that there are a lot of complicated machines.

It is safe to say that the most noticeable thing among them was by far the mask worn on the face. It’s closer to a helmet than a mask.

‘It really looks like an early design.’

This massive thing flies with the power of magic and magic. It’s fun just to imagine it.

For your information, this is not something I will wear, but someone else will wear it. I don’t know what will happen the moment I wear it.

“Whoa… Huh? Ah! When did you come?”

It looks like the work is roughly finished. As soon as Jane saw me, she was startled.

I looked at Jane while looking at the pot, not sure if it was a helmet or a mask. My hair was soaked with sweat as I had been working for quite some time.

“Just now.”

“I see. What brought you here?”

“I want to check.”

“The work is not yet complete…”

When I told her I was there to check, Jane quickly became wrinkled. I guess he thought he had come to check the work.

Of course not at all. I shook my head and opened my mouth.

“It’s not work. I came to check on you.”

“Huh? Oh, you mean me?”

“Yes. Health condition.”

Jane was dumbfounded when she heard that they had come to check on her health. It’s a face that doesn’t know what to say.

I showed this with actions instead of words. After approaching Jane, I first checked the most important hand.

“Ah…!”

Jane was embarrassed when I grabbed her hand. Either way, I first figured out the condition of my hands.

‘Fortunately, my hands are clean.’

To be exact, it means that wounds or burn marks are not easily visible.

It’s a job that requires a lot of manual labor, so although I have scars and calluses, I don’t have any recent wounds.

If any burns or signs of incorrect hammering were found, the plan was to stop immediately.

“Are you hurt anywhere?”

“No… Thank you for your concern.”

“No. This is natural…”

I faced Jane directly while touching her hand. And I had no choice but to blurt out the afterword.

Jane’s unique pretty face remains the same. In particular, she looked even more beautiful when she took off the glasses that covered her beauty.

But more than that, the problem is the eyes. Jane, who clearly had blue eyes, had a slight redness in her eyes.

“Jane.”

“Yes?”

“Do your eyes hurt?”

“Uh… It stings sometimes, right? But there’s no problem with working.”

Probably not. That’s a burn on the eye.

If you frequently come into contact with ultraviolet rays or too much light, your eyes may get burned.

In particular, Jane is closer to fire than anything else. Even if she wears protective glasses, she is bound to get burned.

“No.”

“Yes?”

“Rest. Your eyes hurt.”

“Well, I’m okay…”

“You won’t give me money?”

“······Yes.”

Before Jane, who was embarrassed, could say it was okay, she started to walk away. Thanks to this, she accepted Jane obediently.

For now, she is prohibited from working until her eye heals. Moreover, seeing that she was slightly bloodshot, it seemed like she was quite tired.

“How much work did you do?”

“Every time I finished class, I came to the workshop.”

“When do you sleep?”

“I always went to bed at dawn.”

“No work for a week.”

“Yes, yes?!”

This is how fatigue builds up and leads to overwork. I guess it’s because she finds it fun.

That’s why she needs to be stopped even more. If this continues, you may need to recuperate for a month.

In particular, Jane has no proper means of contact other than me. I think she’ll have to find a separate contact book.

“You’re pushing yourself too hard. Rest for a while.”

“Ha, but…”

“Money.”

“Okay. I’ll try my best to rest.”

I wonder how tight you must be for money to be completely neutralized by that single word.

I chuckled and slowly lowered Jane’s hand. Jane made a strange expression and touched her hand.

“Don’t get hurt. Don’t be sick. What’s important is your health. Understand?”

“Well, but… I am in a position where I have received investment…”

“I invested in you. But if you break down? Then it’s meaningless.”

“Uh…”

Jane rolled her eyes at my words. Her red eyes were filled with questions.

Next, she looked at me while wringing her hands and quietly opened her mouth.

“······Did you say you invested in me?”

“Yes.”

“I’ve thought about it before… But what on earth do you see in me…?”

It would be a natural question from Jane’s perspective. In reality, at the time she invested, Jane was an ordinary Hardy, an ordinary student who had nothing.

No. She was beyond ordinary and she was a weirdo herself. A student who has a reputation as a strange kid even among professors.

So, it would be natural for people to be suspicious of me for allowing them to invest so quickly.

I guess I was so desperate at the time that it didn’t come to mind. It was that desperate.

“Hand.”

“Hand…?”

“Yes. It’s the same as then. Calluses and scars.”

I couldn’t answer yes because I knew the future. Instead, he came up with a suitable excuse.

Calls and scars can be said to be the marks of a craftsman. These two proved her years and experience.

A wound of this magnitude at this age must have taken many years. Even if you are a genius, you cannot overcome the passage of time.

“He has a lot of scars. It means he has a lot of experience. That’s why I believed him.”

“··· ···”

“Is this enough?”

Jane looked at me with a blank expression upon my explanation. She looks like she is impressed by something.

Still, there was something cute about the way she wiggled her hands. She also took off her glasses and her expression became softer.

“······Shivar.”

“Yes.”

“Thank you. Thank you very much.”

Jane bowed her waist with her hands neatly clasped together. She truly expressed her gratitude.

Her slight exaggeration makes her head seem to hit the ground. I put my hand on her shoulder and slowly pulled her up.

After stopping, I looked at her face and saw that she was crying. Tears well up in her eyes, and her lips are pursed.

‘Is it enough to react like this?’

I don’t know. This may be because she has been denied and persecuted for her genius.

I carefully wiped away Jane’s tears. As I wiped away my tears, Jane also quickly wiped her tears.

“Lee, as you said, I will rest for a while. I will return to work in good health.”

“Yeah. So what are you going to do during your break?”

“I plan to visit Professor Godin and study. I have something to ask.”

This is a case that fits the bill of a genius who really works hard. So even if you fail repeatedly, you will succeed.

After that, she left the workshop after leaving Jane a few good words. Even when she left the workshop, she bowed deeply.

“Oh, that’s right, Jane. Are you free for lunch?”

“Lunch? No. I think I’ll be alone in the workshop.”

“Then don’t eat. Eat with me. There’s one more person.”

“It doesn’t matter to me.”

Now that things have come to this, I have to introduce some herbs that are good for the eyes to Ellie as well.

They both have non-combat occupations, so maybe they have something in common. In terms of department, we are seniors and juniors.

Now all that’s left is to go to Rod’s residence and meet Ellie. And then Rod gives permission to enter the forest.

‘I’m only going to take herbs this time.’

I plan to mark the area as well. I didn’t do it last time, so someone else might get caught.

If nothing else, you must consistently mark the area. This is something Rod can understand, so he can overlook it.

“Are you here?”

As soon as I arrived at Rod’s residence, it was, of course, Ellie who welcomed me.

As always, she hugged me tightly and nuzzled her face into her chest.

I was also hugged warmly by the sweet expression of affection. The soft texture felt underneath always brought me happiness.

“What about Luna? Is she out today?”

“Not right now. Maybe it’ll come later?”

“Really? What about grandfather?”

“I am here.”

When she turned her head to where she heard the voice, Rod was standing with his back to her.

He was smiling happily at our affectionate behavior. I felt embarrassed for some reason, but I felt so cozy that I didn’t break the hug.

“Grandpa.”

“Yes.”

“I want to go into that forest. There’s a reason.”

“Why? Okay, then let’s go in.”

“Huh?”

Isn’t it too easy to grant permission without even hearing the reasons? I blinked.

But Rod opened his mouth, maintaining a generous smile, as if it was okay.

“If that’s what you’re like, there must be a solution. You wouldn’t go in blindly, right?”

“Yes. I prepared some paint.”

For reference, the paint was brought from Jane’s workshop. If a hunter appears, I plan to spray it all at once.

Rod willingly accepted, probably because he thought I was fully prepared. Now all that’s left is to go into the forest and find herbs.

‘But what was the herb that was good for the eyes?’

My memory is vague. But there was an herbal expert right next to me.

I called Ellie, who was still enjoying the warmth.

“Ellie.”

“Yes.”

Ellie lifted her head and looked up at me. And then he started laughing.

It was truly dripping with loveliness. I caressed her face.

There is a popular belief that the better her body, the more beautiful she becomes, but the effect was amazing because Ellie was pretty even to the original.

‘If you don’t get over it, you’re not a man.’

If I have an accident in the future, it is highly likely that it will be because of Ellie. I suppressed her desire and asked Ellie.

“Do you know any herbs that are good for the eyes? My eyes are burned.”

“Burns in the eyes? Who?”

“My friend. He’s a stranger.”

“······Are you a girl?”

Ellie’s voice calmed down just a little. Even though she was startled by those words, I nodded her head.

Next, Ellie narrowed her eyes and glared at me, then shrugged her shoulders. The response is that it doesn’t matter.

“Well, one more person will be fine. Anyway, what did you do to get your eyes burned?”

“He’s a blacksmith. But he also does welding.”

“Adari has arrived. It’s a disease that blacksmiths often suffer from.”

Rod said. I guess I figured it out right away because I had a lot of experience.

Ellie also got lost in thought after hearing the symptoms. She went on and it wasn’t long before she opened her mouth.

“If your eyes are burned… Yagold would be the best. Boil it and pour the water into your eyes.”

“Can you find it?”

“You can find it. It will be easy if we go together…”

Ellie blurted out her words and began to look at Rod, not me.

If I go alone, it’s okay, but if I go with Ellie, it could be dangerous.

If you’re unlucky, the hunter might take Ellie hostage. This is a concern.

“Um… Sivar. Do you know what the herb that Eli talked about looks like?”

“I don’t know.”

“Then, come back. It would be better to search with an expert than to search alone. It will take less time.”

“Thank you!”

“Instead, you have to be careful. You never know when or where it will pop up.”

That is something I also know. So, I will go fully prepared.

‘If you take Ellie hostage…’

It’s scary to even imagine. I have to somehow keep her from leaving my side.

Porori is still struggling due to the aftereffects of having his life force sucked. It’s an unfortunate situation.

“Then I’ll come back as quickly as possible!”

“Okay. Take care of yourself.”

“I’ll go and come back.”

After seeing Rod off, we entered the forest.

With a feeling of half worry and half anticipation.

*****

That was when Sibar and Ellie had just entered the forest.

“You’re here.”

The hunter hiding in the dark immediately noticed their presence.

Instead of seeing with your own eyes, you are using random people to show you what you see.

[If possible, do not stimulate, but only observe. Instead, you must check whether red magic power is used.]

A hunter who remembered an order from his superiors. He stroked the chin hidden under the mask.

‘For now, I’ll just have to watch what they do.’

He quietly began to follow them. As expected, their presence was not noticed.

Not only is it completely hidden in the dark, but it is also thanks to the innate characteristics of a devil. If you continue like this, the mission will not be difficult.

“Ellie. Wait a minute.”

“Huh? Where are you going?”

“I have work to do.”

At that time, Sivar leaves Ellie for a while, saying that he has something to do. The hunter captured the moment.

Should we take Ellie hostage and force a fight, or should we just leave it as is?

‘No. First of all, it’s observation.’

He decided on the route through observation. A proper lifestyle pattern has not yet been identified.

There is no need to be impatient. Didn’t he tell his superiors to stay out of the way if he thought they would get caught?

The hunter quietly followed Sivar rather than Eli. He holds an ax and a great sword in each of his hands.

Tuk-

Eventually, Shivar put his weapon down on the ground. He looked like he was about to do something.

The hunter looked at the situation closely. He even puts down his weapon, so it’s clear there’s something there.

‘I’m sure you weren’t caught, right? On purpose to lure me…’

It was a time when the hunter had reasonable doubts. Shivar put his hands on his pants.

Sweet-

I took off both my pants and underwear. The hunter was momentarily dazed by that action.

And…

‘······Ah. Holy shit.’

I was able to clearly observe with my own eyes that Sivar was ‘marking his territory.’

‘He’s like a beast.’

[Faith rises!]

“?”

What? Did someone somewhere do something strange?
