291 – Wisdom (3)

After watching the tragedy that was supposed to be the future her through her her artificial eye her her her, Luna wandered around the academy even more intently.

She goes around and checks if there are any suspicious places, if there are any outsiders that look suspicious, etc.

She went beyond simply visual inspection and even used her abilities individually.

It could not be helped that she was extremely inefficient, but the shock she received was very great.

It was not just a tragedy, it was gruesome and terrible. That future should never come.

“Wow… It’s snow…”

Luna sat on her bench and rubbed her eyes.

Her eyes are so sore.

Even if she is, there are bound to be limitations in terms of physical strength and ability.

She felt like she wanted to use it a little more, but she felt like her eyes were bleeding so resting was a must.

Wasn’t there actually a time when blood flowed from your eyes? It wasn’t a very good experience for her.

‘Still, it’s too early to give up…’

Luna looked around her with worried eyes. Most people had happy expressions.

No one knows what will happen in the future. Maybe it’s better not to know.

Wouldn’t it be better than knowing too much and going crazy? Luna let out a long sigh.

‘What on earth is going on that causes us to kill each other?’

The future seen through the artificial eye was truly terrible. It was far beyond my imagination.

At most, she thought she would be slaughtered by monsters or demons, but she never dreamed that they would kill each other.

Looking at this, it is clear that the devil has definitely done something. I wanted to prevent that somehow.

‘There’s still time left.’

There are approximately three days left until the anniversary. In the meantime, I plan to wander around and look for it.

It’s the height of inefficiency, but I felt anxious if I didn’t do this. I can’t even sleep properly.

‘Does Sivar even know this future? No, you probably know.’

Luna remembered the murals in the cave where Sivar had lived in the past. A similar picture was drawn there.

At first, I didn’t notice it because it showed them killing each other, but looking at it now, it’s a very meaningful picture.

Perhaps Shivar knows this too, and that’s why he’s running around so quickly.

“Haa…”

Luna let out a long sigh. But even though she travels around so much, she doesn’t actually earn anything.

First of all, even if there are a lot of people, there are too many. Even if there is a devil among those people, it is impossible to confirm.

Even if she had special eyes, nothing would change for her.

‘I want to go home.’

I don’t know why this happens. I just want to live a normal academy life.

The cause of all this is the devil. And the reason the devil was angry was none other than the existence of Shivar.

‘It’s strange when I think about it. Why was Shivar in the forest?’

As I was thinking through my stream of consciousness, a question suddenly occurred to me. Why was Shivar born in the forest?

She was told that although she was born a long time ago, her thoughts began in the forest.

So it means that someone put them in the forest, but I don’t know who did this.

Is there anyone who would benefit from doing something like that? I can’t understand at all.

‘Or is it because one of the demons is aiming for this on purpose?’

It’s not like there’s no possibility at all. Because it has been a method that has worked well since ancient times.

Even on the devil’s side, wouldn’t there be a quiet moderate faction and a strong hardliner faction?

Rize said, not all demons are bad. But the ‘enemy’ has not changed.

Don’t soldiers also have personal feelings toward soldiers from enemy countries? They just harbor hostility towards that group.

‘I’m curious.’

Apart from doing devilish things, there are many questions I want to ask.

Luna thought this to herself and bruised herself endlessly.

Her mouth was slightly open, and it seemed like she was a little out of her mind.

“Honey, then a fly will get in her mouth.”

“······?”

Then, Luna heard the voice of an old man.

Luna heard her words and hurriedly closed her slightly opened mouth. She then turned her head and looked to her side.

An old man with a shabby appearance was looking at him. A bent back and a cane to support it.

The wide-brimmed hat obscures his eyes, making it impossible to see his facial expression, and his abundant beard his his his is impressive.

“Who are you?”

“Heulheul. I’m just an old man passing by.”

The old man, Warden, said so and sat down next to Luna. It’s a very natural behavior.

Luna looked at Warden with a puzzled expression. What on earth brought you here?

“Who did you say earlier? My name is Warden. I came to the academy to look for my friend’s child.”

“Ah.”

I think I know roughly what brought you to the academy. There are quite a few people like Warden.

Most parents have a lot of love for their children, and the Warden is one of them.

Even though he was her friend’s child, he seemed to be quite close to her since he came to see her.

“What is your name?”

“My name is Luna.”

“It’s a pretty name. Who gave it to you?”

“The village chief built it for me. “My parents are not here.”

Luna doesn’t have her parents. Even though the tone is a little strange, she remembers it that way.

I roughly heard that the village chief picked it up. The village itself, she was told, was a bit odd as it was in a remote location.

“Your parents aren’t there? It sounds like they weren’t there from the beginning.”

“Um… I guess he’s safe somewhere? Or maybe he passed away.”

“There are a lot of things like that in the world. Isn’t it a very ugly world?”

It’s an ugly world. Luna agreed with Warden.

Not only are large and small conflicts occurring all over the world, but threats such as monsters still persist.

Therefore, there are quite a few people who grew up without parents. So there are quite a few people who don’t think it’s a big deal.

“Grandpa.”

“What?”

“Did your grandfather have parents?”

“··· ···”

In response to Luna’s question, the Warden responded that she had nothing to say for the moment.

First of all, it is definitely not an insult to parents, that is, padding. Because it was a pure question itself.

However, not only is the tone itself strange, but the Warden is an old man. There is no way my parents are alive at this time.

In other words, the question is literally whether you had parents. Luna said something was strange, but it was completely normal.

“Hmm. Hmm. My child. There is no life in this world that is born without parents. Life must exist for the next life to be born.”

“So you were there. What kind of person was he?”

“He was a gentle and loving person. Sometimes he hits him with a stick, but that’s how a true parent should be.”

“Is that so?”

Luna nodded her head. Although she had no parents, she was able to grow up without any problems thanks to the village people.

She was also morally blameless, because the village people took on the role of her parents.

Even though she couldn’t change her speaking habits, Luna was able to grow up to be a good child.

“Anyway, you have a worried face.”

“Yes. Well…”

Luna scratched her cheek. Even if she talks to Warden, it doesn’t help her.

She just wants to confide in her heart. There is only one person who can do that.

‘But just because you’re Shiva doesn’t mean you can find the devil.’

The only person with these eyes is yourself. Even if it’s inefficient, it can be done.

Luna let out a sigh of herself. Even though she is stuffy, she is too stuffy.

“······Grandpa.”

“Speak.”

“What did your grandfather do when he had difficult times?”

“Heulheul. It’s a worry that people of that age would have.”

Warden smiled gently after hearing Luna’s concerns about her. Either way, Luna had an expressionless expression.

It’s awkward to share your worries with someone you’ve just met. But that’s why it was easy to tell.

If you tell someone who already knows the whole situation, they will assume something is up.

Moreover, the Warden was giving off a strange aura. She has an atmosphere that is both mature and full of wisdom.

“If something is difficult, it’s better to join forces with others.”

“What if other people find it difficult too?”

“There’s not much a person can do alone. After all, he only has two arms, right?”

“It’s something you have to do with your eyes.”

“Older people usually have a good sense of vision.”

“You’re busy doing other things.”

“··· ···”

Did she not like Luna who talked back to her?

Warden turned her head to look at Luna.

She gave off a feeling of disapproval.

But what Luna wants is not a standard answer. I just need someone to listen to my concerns

“I’m sorry for talking back to you. I’m having a hard time right now…”

“······Okay. It’s okay if you apologize. I was planning on hitting you if you didn’t apologize.”

Surprisingly, it seems that even Luna realized that her speaking style was strange. It means that she is having a hard time.

Warden didn’t say anything more and just let it go.

There are no instances like this in her life.

“I was bored on the way, so could you give me your hand?”

“Why the hands?”

“That’s because I like reading palms. It’s a skill I learned in the East.”

Warden wanted to see Luna’s palm print like he did with Sivar and Ellie.

At this, Luna blinked her eyes and took out the words that were inside her.

“What do you see when you look at your palm her her her her?”

“You can roughly see fate.”

“Umm…”

Luna looked at her palm after hearing her words her her her.

Is it because she went through a hard time? There are calluses all over her palms.

But even though she stared, nothing much came out. Even though I have special eyes.

“······I can’t see it?”

“Whoa…”

Warden let out a frustrated sigh. She is gradually growing tired of Luna’s destructive speaking style.

Of course, Luna confirmed it through her special eyes. Still, since she couldn’t see anything, she just said away.

But Warden’s patience was not easy. He stuck out his tongue and quietly opened his mouth.

“It’s a fate that even those eyes can’t see, so that’s it. So don’t be a snarky person and give it to me.”

“Here.”

I was very suspicious, but I held out my hand. They say it’s a technology from the East, so you have to believe it.

Warden then observed Luna’s palm her in detail.

“Hmm… This is amazing.”

“What is it?”

“At first glance, it looks very ordinary, but it fluctuates so much that it’s meaningless to watch.”

“It fluctuates a lot?”

It fluctuates a lot. Luna tilted her head because she didn’t understand what he was saying.

Warden let go of Luna’s hand and explained it one by one.

“Destiny can change dramatically depending on the choices you make. Wealth, family, knowledge, and even life. It can be seen as a blessing and a curse at the same time.”

“I’m not sure what you’re talking about.”

“It might be better not to know. Your fate is already heading down a difficult path. What on earth are you going through?”

“··· ···”

Luna pursed her lips. Warden’s last question was very sharp.

We are walking towards a difficult fate. This is a perfect fit for Luna right now.

Isn’t the situation facing us right now the biggest challenge in life?

“But the life line is very dark, so you don’t have to worry. It’s a tough road, but you’ll make it to the end.”

“······Can’t you give up midway?”

“Are you going to give up?”

“······No.”

“Then you should stop talking nonsense and accept it.”

Those are truly cruel words. Is it possible to say something like that because it’s someone else’s business?

Luna withdrew her hand, grumbling internally. Then something suddenly occurred to her.

“Ah. Then, grandfather.”

“What?”

“Can even grandfather see his own destiny?”

If you can see the fate of others through palmistry, you can also see your own fate.

This is an extremely common sense question. But Warden’s reaction was a little strange.

“Hmm. Hmm. That’s a little difficult.”

“Huh? Is it hard? What do you mean?”

“Since ancient times, astrologers and prophets have not been able to see their own destiny. It’s like a restriction imposed by God.”

On the surface, it seems like a plausible story. But not for Luna.

“Then isn’t this just a scam?”

“What?”

“It doesn’t make sense. You can predict other people’s fate without knowing your own fate.”

For some reason, Luna was saying the right thing. The problem is that it was close to the level of reckless murder.

I could see the Warden’s expression of her because of the wide-brimmed hat of her, but I could at least tell that she was puzzled.

“Whew… Yes, you have a point. But whether you believe it or not is up to you. “I can only give you advice.”

“Um…Grandpa.”

“Something.”

“It’s a bit hard to say this, but… It’s suspicious in many ways.”

It’s a little strange to hear. Luna narrowed her eyes and glared at Warden.

Is it because I got an unexpected reaction? I felt like Warden was a little embarrassed.

“Well, what’s strange?”

“It’s the same with making prophecies with palmistry, it’s the same with coming to the academy alone, it’s the same with coming to look for my friend’s son…”

“··· ···”

“Grandpa, maybe…”

Gulp-

Warden swallowed. It was obvious that he was nervous.

In a heavy atmosphere, Luna, who was glaring harshly at Warden, opened her mouth.

“You’re not senile by any chance, are you?”

“······What?”

“There were some senile people in the village too. So… I’m a little worried.”

As a result.

“Did you see this pale bitch? Is that something you would say to an adult?!”

“Ahh! Why, why are you hitting me? I-I’m just worried…!”

“There are things to say and things to not say! You’re spitting out rudeness with your mouth!”

Luna was hit with her cane.
