A Wild Man Has Entered the Academy chapter 230

230 – Pain (3)

Devils do not have color and life, so they cannot create descendants.

Because life itself does not exist, there is no natural death, that is, death from old age.

Therefore, compared to humans, they boast an overwhelming lifespan, and there are even demons that have survived since the Demon God War.

However, as we have consistently mentioned, there is no natural death, so we have no choice but to leave it in the hands of others. Otherwise, end your life yourself.

No matter how devil he is, it is difficult to endure the years of eternal life. They are beings who have no future as they cannot even create descendants.

“Shivar…Is a descendant of the devil?”

“Yes. You may not believe it, but it is true.”

“Then the reason why I reacted negatively to Gaia’s divine power…”

“It’s because there is no life.”

“··· ···”

Luna closed her mouth. This is the moment when the doubts in her mind turned into certainty.

From the moment she wielded the Bloody Greatsword at her will, she had a vague prediction. Shivar is said to be a lifeless being.

But she couldn’t understand. Although he was lifeless, Sivar kept his color intact.

Incoherent, contradictory itself. Luna then asked her question.

“But Shivar has colors. All demons are black and white…”

“The skin is unusually white and the fur is black. And that’s really bad.”

“··· ···”

When Luna heard those words, she turned her gaze to Sivar, who was lying there as if dead.

As she said, Matana Shivar’s skin was so white that it was appropriate to say he was pale.

If anything, their skin is whiter than that of northerners in the Frozen Principality. At first it was just a curious feeling, but not anymore.

More than anything, it’s not just the skin that I’m curious about. Luna bit her mouth and then she asked in a cautious voice.

“······I have so many questions I want to ask, is it okay?”

“It’s okay. But I’ll avoid answering sensitive questions.”

“Then… What about Sivar’s red magic power? It has to do with his bright red eyes, right?”

“You may have heard that the first humans used red magic.”

I’ve heard of it. It is a content deeply related to mythology.

The color of magical power first used by humans is red. As humans evolved, it changed to the current blue color.

“The same goes for the Sivar brothers. If you just look at their origins, they are most similar to the original humans. Red magic is also part of that.”

“What is the difference between the humans of the beginning and the humans of today? On the outside, they are no different from us…”

“There’s one big thing: the amount of food you have to eat.”

“Sheep?”

Luna tilted her head. What is the relationship between the amount of food one should consume per day and red magic power?

Her questions were very reasonable, so Rize also explained her step by step.

“Humans in the past had better physical abilities and larger physiques than humans today. As they achieved civilization and began to live in groups, their numbers gradually decreased.”

“··· ···”

“But that doesn’t mean we’re degenerating. Just as some people gain weight and others stay the same even if they eat the same meal, those who specialize in survival are those that gain weight. In the beginning, humans may have been physically strong, but their bodies were unsuited for ‘survival.'”

What Rize is saying is that the surviving humans are specialized for survival. On the other hand, it means that Sivar has exchanged her physical abilities.

However, Shivar survived in the Forest of Chaos. If he were at a disadvantage to survival, he would have died long ago.

“The Forest of Chaos is rich in magic power, so as long as the hunt is successful, survival would not have been difficult. It would have been a perfect environment for the Sivar brothers.”

“You could say I was lucky.”

“Yes. Another difference is that their instincts are unusually strong.”

“It’s instinct…”

There is something that Sivar often hears. A beast-like person.

Animals often act instinctively, and Sivar sometimes shows such tendencies.

Especially when I am hugged by Ellie, it is the most instinctive. Because I was embraced by a big heart without even paying attention to what was going on around me.

‘But strangely, I don’t hear anything like heat…?’

It is normal for a man, or more specifically a male, to be in heat. Shivar was not like that.

I’m not sure if it’s because I’m still ignorant about s*x, or if there’s another reason.

“You said it’s instinct, but if Sivar is instinctive, shouldn’t he have come into heat a long time ago?”

So I asked directly. I can’t stand being curious.

Lize also blinked, perhaps a little taken aback by those words. She then smiled wryly and gave her explanation.

“It’s because he’s still young. Brother Sibar, in terms of age, he hasn’t reached puberty, so he’s ignorant about that.”

“You’re young?”

“Yes.”

“How does the saint know that?”

“That…”

Rize hesitated in her answer to Luna’s sharp point. Luna made a puzzled expression in response.

Now that I think about it, there are more than one or two strange parts. First of all, Rize knows Sibar very well.

I want to find out if this is also a prophecy of Chaos, or if it is personally related to Shivar.

Of course, that doesn’t mean I don’t trust Rize. As I mentioned earlier, if she had dark intentions, she would have done so a long time ago.

“If you don’t feel comfortable talking, you don’t have to. The saint will have her own reasons.”

“Thank you for your consideration. Still, I think I should tell you this.”

“What do you mean?”

“I was once a member of Gaia, but then switched to chaos. Please keep this in mind.”

No matter how clueless Luna was, she was able to understand what she meant by those words.

It was similar to the words that the spirit of the Gulag gave to Sivar.

‘Are you telling me not to trust Gaia? Or the Church of Gaia?’

This is a remark that leaves ample room for diverse interpretation. But the fact that Gaia is suspicious hasn’t changed.

What on earth happened to Rize that completely changed her faith? Does this have something to do with her past?

Like an onion, the more you peel it, the more things stick out. It sticks out so much that it makes her head hurt.

“So, to summarize… Demons cannot create descendants, but they gave birth to Shiva, and raised Shiva with love, but then suddenly disappeared? So the demons are angry and are trying to attack the academy?”

“Exactly.”

I was able to roughly understand the context. If that’s the case, I can fully understand the devil’s position.

However, there was one thing that Rize did not notice. Luna rightly pointed out that point.

“Saint.”

“Yes.”

“I didn’t tell the saintess that the devil was attacking the academy.”

“··· ···”

More than anything, what I don’t understand the most is Rize’s information power. Where did you get that information?

Even though I know a lot, there is still too much. So much so that the source of the information is questionable.

“I don’t want to ask a sensitive question, but the saint knows so much. It’s safe to say she came from the future.”

“··· ···”

“Especially that my eyes are special. How did you know this?”

I don’t know anything else, but I didn’t tell you about the eyes. Except for Sivar, who was in the same boat.

An ability that can truly be called a blessing. However, Rize knows her own abilities very well.

Will Rize really tell this? Luna was slightly nervous and waited for Rize to open her mouth.

Finally, when there was a bit of silence, Rize’s mouth, which had been closed heavily, opened.

“······I can’t explain it that far yet. I’m sorry.”

“Can you at least tell me the reason?”

“It’s because Luna doesn’t know the true meaning of chaos right now.”

An answer came back, befitting an extremely chaotic believer. Luna twitched her eyebrows, but soon relaxed her strength.

It is a battle of numbers in which Rize has the advantage due to the difference in information power. It’s better to give up on things like this.

“But I want you to know this. I am on Luna’s side, and if you need help, you can ask for it at any time.”

“That’s something I’m thankful for.”

If Rize has strong support, even the devil is not scary. Here, the Sword Saint and the Lord.

You can’t just wait until the devil attacks the academy, so it’s best to be prepared.

“Oh, saint.”

“Please speak.”

“The devil is attacking the academy out of anger over losing Shivar.”

“Yes.”

“Then on the other hand, if you hand over Shiva to the devil…”

It was a very sensitive area, so Luna had no choice but to be cautious. But it is a reasonable idea.

When it comes to mistakes, the devil is a very unfair victim. In fact, isn’t it as if both hope and future have been robbed?

I had no intention of defending them, but I wanted to discuss things. Of course, Sivar’s opinion is the most important.

“Absolutely not.”

The answer came back as expected. I felt not only resolute, but also faint anger.

At this, Luna hurriedly opened her mouth. If I’m not careful, I feel like that anger will come to me.

“Oh, isn’t that right? Since he’s a devil, I can’t live with Sivar…”

“No. If I had been raised by them, I would have grown up with lots of love. Happier than anyone else.”

“······?”

But this was unexpected. Sivar, who grew up in the devil’s arms, will grow up with plenty of love.

Who is the devil? As their name suggests, aren’t they devils who commit all kinds of evil deeds?

It is ironic that they are far from love.

“The problem is ideology. From the devils’ point of view, we, the human race, are beings who have taken away color and life. In other words, they will think of themselves as victims. You can think of them as a country that lost a war.”

“Then…”

“What will the descendants who grew up in that country think of humanity? Even the devil has been alive since the time of the Demon War. So the Sivar brothers will not be able to tell right from wrong.”

“Aha.”

I realized what you meant. Apart from love, we cannot distinguish between right and wrong.

Even the reason is justifiable. Shiva may accept wrong ideas and become a devil in a different sense.

‘In some ways, what Ellie and I found was a stroke of luck.’

The Shivar I faced at that time was a blank slate. A blank piece of paper without any writing on it.

“Still, isn’t he good?”

At the same time, he had a very kind heart. Words and actions that are sometimes shown even without separate training.

He accepted Kara as her friend without discriminating against her and listened obediently to what Rod said. Although he received a few indoctrinations in etiquette.

“Yes. Brother Sivar is good. He also has the innocence of a child. It is that innocence that is the problem.”

“Purity?”

“Did you ever tear off a dragonfly’s wings as a child? Or play with ants or bugs?”

“There are a lot.”

As I grew up in the countryside, I have experienced countless times like that. I often played with my peers.

Although after the head grows bigger, bugs are disgusting so they tend to avoid them.

“That’s it. Brother Sivar is kind, but with that kind heart, he is willing to commit violence. Haven’t you seen it often?”

“··· ···”

Suddenly, I thought of a student who had his tongue cut out a few days ago while making fun of him. At that time, Rod told me.

He said he could get over cursing himself, but he couldn’t stand cursing his friends. At the time, I thought it was okay and passed on it.

But when I actually listened to Rize’s words, I realized how scary it was. If the ideology is instilled in them, they will be willing to commit murder.

“Shivar is a life, a person at that. I want to tell you about the mindset of a person.”

“Then what you’re saying is that the devil…Must be stopped at all costs.”

“Yes. Moreover, since Brother Sivar was taken away, his hatred toward humanity must have grown greatly. You can sympathize, but the devil is your enemy.”

I have sympathy, but my enemy is my enemy. It is an answer befitting a saint of chaos.

“This is a long story. Do you have any other questions?”

“There are a lot, but…”

I want to tell you that Shival also knows the future. However, this also does not seem to provide a clear explanation.

Rize said she would tell us once she found out the true meaning of chaos, but we don’t know when that will be.

So, I thought it would be better to bury it in my mind for the time being. Instead, I would like to ask one question.

“Can I tell this story to anyone?”

“For now, it can only cause confusion.”

“Seup… Yes, I understand. Anything else to watch out for?”

In response to Luna’s question, Rize turned her gaze and looked at Sivar. Sivar is still sleeping soundly.

Then she tried to extend her hand but stopped. Her reaction seems to be hesitating.

About the time Luna showed her puzzled expression in response, she grabbed Rize’s outstretched hand with her other hand.

“······Mr. Luna.”

“Yes.”

“Give affection to Brother Sivar…”

“Affection…?”

When told to give her affection, Luna revealed her doubts.

Rize smiled bitterly and opened her mouth. She still had her eyes fixed on Shivar.

“Brother Sivar was robbed of all the future he wanted. Not by his own hands, but by others.”

“··· ···”

“The only thing that can cover that anger is affection.”

Some serious advice. Luna asked cautiously.

“Are you saying that we should form a relationship?”

“··· ···”

Lize did not answer. All she did was nod her head.

“······This must be right.”

She muttered so that Luna couldn’t hear.
