536 – Persuasion (3)

I always think about it, but Luna’s snout is clearly filled with chaos.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t have even thought about admitting Cheonma to the academy, which would be breathtaking.

Up until now, her chaos could be understood as a mere coincidence. But this is beyond the norm.

The ‘Cheonma’ I know is literally a walking disaster itself. It feels like the personification of a natural disaster.

No one knows when it will explode, but it still has great power. Even capricious.

Allowing such a person to enter the Academy is essentially the same as burning down the Academy.

‘Is that kid really crazy?’

Just like Kara, who couldn’t stand to watch anymore and cast a flying kick, I was also shocked when I heard Luna’s suggestion.

I don’t know if it’s because he hasn’t seen the true nature of Cheonma yet, or if he said it as if he was just going to let things be.

Moreover, she suggested that rather than being admitted as an academy official, she should be admitted as a student.

I wanted to open my head like a lid to see how the brain circuits worked.

‘But the ridiculous thing is that it’s a surefire solution······’

Even Seol-hwa is convinced right now. There is no other way than for her to come to the Academy.

I don’t want to be separated from you, but I have to go to the academy. In the end, it’s better for Seolhwa to follow me.

Even so, wouldn’t it be better to attend the academy to watch the upcoming episodes? If you dig into each one, you’ll find that this is the best option.

“······I think it would be a good idea to consider enrolling in an academy. Realistically, it seems like it would be difficult.”

But unlike a surefire solution, there are too many uncertainties. Lize also mentioned that part right away.

The Academy is a place where all kinds of people gather, and fierce competition always occurs.

Even I was looked at as a wild man and such at the academy, so what about Seolhwa?

It is a cult known as a pseudo-religion, but it is not even at the level of a member. Its leader is revered as a living god.

‘Is it really dangerous?’

While Earth classifies cults as something they simply do not want to associate with, here, they are clearly targets of ‘purification’.

If it is proven that they are a cult member, it is normal to punish them as a heretic without considering the circumstances.

Most people take this for granted, and the Academy is a frequently visited institution by religious leaders.

“It’s hard… What’s hard about it?”

“The Heavenly Demon is the master of the Demonic Cult. If that fact becomes known, there will be a big incident at the Academy.”

“What does this have to do with me being the master of the Demonic Cult?”

“You probably know that the Demonic Cult is a paradise for the abandoned and the marginalized. And······”

Lize explained in a desperate manner. Her explanation went something like this:

Although the Demonic Cult is a pseudo-religion known only in the East, this incident will lead to its spread throughout the world.

And the world is hostile to pseudo-religions. If things go wrong, not only the religious leaders but also those around them will suffer great damage.

In particular, he said that I would be directly and indirectly harmed, and that the moment I was mentioned as a companion, we would be targets of purge together.

“A target for purification… how ridiculous. Do you think something like that could possibly harm the woman?”

“It may be difficult for you, but Brother Shivar can do it. Brother Shivar is very vulnerable to divine power.”

Lize seemed to collect her thoughts for a moment, then spoke in a firm voice.

“You may not know it when you’re alone, but the outside world isn’t where you live alone. It’s where everyone lives together in their own way.”

“··· ···”

“If you continue to act selfishly, I will stop you. Even if it means risking my life.”

She showed her determination that she could not compromise on this. She was right.

Let’s say that Seol-hwa enters the academy. Will she still display her characteristically arrogant and selfish behavior there?

If this continues, not only will nothing good come out of it, but a major incident will definitely occur.

Therefore, the story is that the teachers should abandon their overbearing attitude and cultivate social skills······

‘Will that work?’

The only one in heaven and earth. This is a phrase that can describe the life of Cheonma, not a fairy tale.

A being who has possessed overwhelming power since birth and has lived without caring about what anyone thinks.

Moreover, recently, he has been worshipped as a god of the devil’s cult, and his arrogance has reached its peak.

Can this personality trait be corrected in a short period of time? To be honest, I don’t think it’s possible.

Even I, after receiving Lord’s sharp discipline and reprimand, had fewer accidents, but Seolhwa is not like that.

“It sounds like the woman is saying she should make a concession.”

“That’s right. You should also fix your speech.”

“I’ll try.”

“!!”

I opened my eyes wide when I heard Seolhwa say that she would try. The same goes for everyone else, including Lize.

In fact, it is an attitude of accepting all of Lize’s advice. A completely unexpected move.

In the past, I would have just ignored it, but I simply allowed it. What kind of change of heart could have occurred?

“Honestly, it’s not that difficult. There was a time when I was curious about people’s lives and used to hang out with them. If I act like I did back then, it’ll be fine.”

“······A long time ago? What era are you talking about?”

“It refers to the era when the Huan Empire was torn apart into four parts.”

“······The Three Kingdoms period? That must have been over 1000 years ago······?”

Ellie’s muttering reached my ears. It was an answer that gave me an idea of ​​how old Cheonma was and how long he had lived.

But it is more important that he once lived like a human being. Furthermore, even Lize, who knows a lot, does not know much about Cheonma’s life.

Then she seemed to think for a moment and then quietly opened her mouth.

“······Was there a lesson you learned back then?”

“It was there.”

“What is it?”

“If you can’t use your strength, it’s frustrating. If you have strength, life is easy.”

“··· ···”

It is a statement of truth. It is a statement that applies not only in the academy but also anywhere in the world.

Even on Earth, violence is considered taboo, but the importance of ‘power’ itself has not changed.

You don’t have to go far to see the United States. It has a strong power and exerts influence on the world, big and small.

The same goes for China. Even though it causes trouble all over the world, it only gets criticized because of its immense power.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve felt the life of a human being. I’ll be happy to listen.”

“······Is that true?”

“Why don’t you hide the fact that you are the leader? After all, not many people know the identity of the real woman.”

Her words make sense. The Demonic Cult is only famous in the East, and furthermore, only a very small number of people know of the existence of the Heavenly Demon.

It is also difficult to eradicate the Demonic Cult because it is located in such a remote place. Some information was blocked before it was leaked.

“··· ···”

Lize showed signs of hesitation about whether or not she should believe Seolhwa’s words.

In order to bring me back, you have to bring back another bomb, and a nuclear bomb-level dangerous person at that.

The moment that nuclear bomb explodes, the Academy will suffer such great damage that even the word “devastating” is an understatement.

But there was no other way out. Finally, Lize sighed and opened her mouth.

“······Okay, I understand. I’ll tell you what I want you to do on the way back, so please listen carefully.”

“If I can have a companion, I’ll gladly listen to your advice.”

“First of all, can’t we do something about that overbearing tone of voice? If you use that tone of voice at the Academy, you’ll make a lot of enemies.”

“Consider it.”

I think it will be hard to change that way of speaking. It will be hard to get rid of it since it is a way of speaking that has been used for a long time.

Anyway, Luna’s persuasion worked. Even though the result was a disaster, taking the nuclear bomb with him.

“Then let’s go back right away. We don’t have time.”

“Umm… Can I ask you something before that?”

Just as I was about to turn back without delay, Luna quietly raised her hand.

When everyone’s attention was drawn to him, Luna grabbed her ribs and spoke with a sigh.

“I think the ribs are gone······”

“··· ···”

“··· ···”

“······I did kick it a little hard.”

In the end, I decided to recuperate in the Demonic Cult for a day. Fractures, especially rib fractures, tend to have long-lasting aftereffects.

Also, if the story is left without notice, great chaos may ensue. Not only in the Demonic Cult, but also in the entire East.

Now that the influence of the Demonic Cult has grown stronger in Changcheon, whether we like it or not, the story of the incident is bound to become entangled.

“Huh?! What do you mean, you’re leaving our school?!”

Naturally, the elders and grandsons who had taken such good care of me were greatly embarrassed.

Even though he had consistently followed Sulwha’s orders until now, his absence must have been unimaginable.

At this, Seolhwa furrowed her brows and showed a look of dissatisfaction.

“Do you dare question this woman’s actions?”

“That’s absolutely not true. It just happened so suddenly…”

Then he glanced at me, asking, “What on earth is going on?”

But going to the academy is something that cannot be said even if you die. The less people know about it, the better.

I was wondering how I could convince my grandson.

“Hmm. No. Wait.”

Seolhwa’s expression softened and someone was brought in. Who was it?

“Why me again?”

“Convince the interest.”

Luna. It seems like he likes her persuasive methods.

This is ridiculous. How can you still bring me here after witnessing that horrible chaos earlier?

While I was thinking like that, Luna heard the general situation from Hyun-son.

Then he nodded and glanced at me. That made me feel even more anxious.

“Um······Honeymoon? Anyway, you can think of it as something similar.”

“Ah! I see! Hehehe!”

“··· ···”

I really hate that snout.

“I like it.”

I also hate the story that likes that.

[Faith rises!!!]

I hate you more.
