A Wild Man Has Entered the Academy

Chapter 130:

Blessing in Disguise (3)

***

Since entering the academy, so many things have happened. That was Luna’s thought.

Initially, she met Sivar, who was living as a wild man, and after that, demons and various other incidents occurred.

She wanet stronger.

‘Did she just… split the sky…?’

Luna was gradually getting stronger through hard work every weekend.

Today, she witnessed the pinnacle of strength with her own eyes. A mere human split the sky.

His. It’s different from breaking or cutting space.

“How long will it take to recover?”

“Resting well for a week should do it. But first, let’s check the results since Lord Gulak has responded.”

The person who split the sky was calm.

Although her once ample chest had disappeared, it was a small price compared to splitting the sky.

‘No, that’s still strange.’

Luna stared at Rize’s chest. It was flat enough to be called a cliff.

To the extent that even she felt bigger. And for the record, she wasn’t that small.

Ie standards. Really.

‘What kind of god is Lord Chaos…’

She never imagined her chest would literally be a ‘pocket.’ But ironically, it was very chaotic.

Luna shook her head, feeling like all common sense was shattered.

Thinking too much made her head hurt. It was better to just accept it coolly.

“Looks like it’s over. Should we go too?”

“…Let’s.”

Luna nodded at Ellie’s suggestion and started walking.

The altar, where lightning had poured down like a waterfall, looked surprisingly intact.

“Holy Warrior, is this what you looked like before you were blessed by Lord Chaos?”

“Yes, that’s correct.”

“It’s really like a pocket. Amazing.”

“As I grew, they grew too. It should be comfortable for a while.”

While Ellie and Rize chatted, Luna approached Sivar.

Kara was standing next to Sivar, and they were observing something intently.

“Sister, isn’t it all over?”

“Huh? Oh, you’re here.”

Luna greeted Kara but couldn’t stop her gaze from drifting downward.

Even as a woman, she couldn’t help but be drawn to the outfit. Especially those strong abs, which were oddly stimulating.

She had been working out diligently under Rize, but her muscles didn’t develop well. Especially her abs, which didn’t show at all.

In that sense, Kara’s body was Luna’s ideal. Though Rize was too much even to consider.

“Ragnarok is fully repaired. But there’s something off about it.”

“What’s different?”

“It’s too different. Want to see?”

Luna shifted her gaze from Kara and looked at the altar.

As Kara mentioned, the restored Ragnarok lay on the altar, but it looked a bit strange.

“Huh? The color…”

Originally, Ragnarok was a black axe. Its blade was rather blunt.

It was originally a ceremonial axe, and with a hammer part, it was specialized for ‘breaking.’

“The color is unusual, right? It seems to have merged with the Usk axe.”

But the restored Ragnarok was different. The axe blade had turned white.

It looked like the dangerous part was painted separately. It seemed sharp enough to cut just by looking.

The hammer part was the same, painted white like the blade.

“My Usk…”

“Don’t be too disappointed. You’re the only one using it for now, right? Be grateful that Lord Gulak repaired it. Anything more is greedy.”

While Kara consoled the disappointed Sivar, Luna observed Ragnarok.

The addition of white to the originally black Ragnarok made it look cooler.

Moreover, it had grown in size. Merging two axes made it close to a battle axe.

But the handle was a bit short to call it a battle axe. It looked like a versatile weapon.

Combining with the Usk axe could only improve it, not make it worse.

‘Could it be imbued with the Holy Warrior’s divine power?’

Rize’s divine power is the will of Chaos. That might be why the axes merged into one.

Luna stared at Ragnarok for a while, then focused her eyes to check its details.

[Chaos Ragnarok: SS+]

[A newly reborn axe through the collaboration of chaos and destruction.]

[Originally a ceremonial axe, Ragnarok has gained a new form imbued with chaos. The blade will cut anything, and the hammer will destroy everything.]

[Special Effect: Thunder]

[Those who wield thunder and even those who don’t can command thunder. But those unworthy will be struck down by it.]

“…”

It’s a scam. An absurdly powerful scam.

That was Luna’s evaluation of the newly reborn Ragnarok after checking its effects.

Originally, Ragnarok’s grade was SS. Blessed by Gulak, it was practically mythic.

But the newly reborn axe was SS+. You might think it’s just a plus, but that’s a mistake.

It’s equivalent to advancing one whole stage. It was already an incredible weapon, and now it’s even more upgraded.

‘It was already terrifying, but now it’s even stronger? Is this for real?’

Previously, Ragnarok couldn’t fully showcase its power unless wielded by a follower of Gulak.

But this one was different. According to the description, even non-followers of Gulak could wield thunder.

If Sivar, Kara, or Hector were to use this? No one but Rize or Rod could stop them.

‘I want something like this too.’

Being a swordsman by nature, an axe didn’t appeal much. But the appearance and performance were exceptional.

It was a weapon worthy of appearing in myths. Sivar would now wield such a weapon, enveloped in lightning, dominating the battlefield. Just imagining it was cool.

“Let’s check its performance. Try calling Ragnarok.”

“Okay.”

Clack!

While Luna was lost in her imagination, Sivar tested the performance. Starting with the basic recovery ability.

Fortunately, the engravings seemed to be restored, as the recovery was very smooth. This alone was sufficient testing.

“How’s the weight? Is it much heavier?”

“A little.”

“Hmm… Luna, you try holding it. Sivar is so strong, he might not notice the difference.”

Kara took the Ragnarok from Sivar and handed it to Luna.

Luna recalled the keyword ‘worthiness’ from the description but took it anyway.

Crackle!

“Ah!”

As soon as Luna narok.

Everyone, including Luna, was stunned by the unprecedented occurrence.

This had never happened before, something was definitely wrong.

“Why did lightning suddenly…?”

“What’s going on? Want to try touching it again?”

“S-Sure, just a moment…”

Crackle!!

When Luna tried touching it again, a stronger lightning bolt occurred. This time, it sparked even before she touched it.

Luna stepped back, startled by what seemed like the axe rejecting her touch.

On the other hand, Kara, who was holding Ragnarok, was unaffected.

“Strange. Why is this happening? It used to be touchable by anyone.”

“Ugh… Maybe it’s because it’s imbued with Lord Chaos’s energy?”

Luna, still rubbing her tingling fingers, offered her opinion. It was the only explanation that made sense.

Kara seemed to agree, nodding before turning her gaze elsewhere.

She looked at Rize, who was still chatting with Ellie.

“Holy Warrior, could you help us for a moment?”

“Hmm? What’s the matter?”

“Ragnarok seems strange. When Luna tried touching it, it sparked. It didn’t used to do that.”

“Oh, that?”

Rize, understanding the situation, walked over to Kara and naturally took Ragnarok.

Unlike with Luna, there was no lightning. The axe was very docile.

“The reason is simple. It’s imbued with the will of Chaos. Those who are unworthy will find it difficult to even hold.”

“What does chaos have to do with worthiness?”

“I don’t know. If Lord Chaos says so, that’s how it is.”

“…”

Kara made a reluctant face. It was a really irresponsible answer, but since it involved Chaos, it could be overlooked.

Anyway, the likelihood of Ragnarok being stolen was zero. That was quite a merit.

But not all questions were answered. Ellie, who had been quietly listening, spoke up.

“So, what kind of worthiness is needed to hold it?”

“It’s simple. One must be favored by Lord Gulak or Lord Chaos. Since it’s about worthiness, strength isn’t a factor.”

In other words, Luna wasn’t favored by either god. Realizing this, Luna pouted.

But what could she do? Kara had been offering sacrifices and tributes to Gulak for a long time, and Sivar was chosen directly by Chaos.

As much as she wanted to work hard, it wasn’t feasible. Kara was amazing for offering tributes every week.

‘Lord Chaos is out of the question.’

Unlike other gods, Chaos requires you to be ‘chosen.’ And mortals have no say in it.

Given such uncertainty, it was far better to worship Gaia or Gulak, even if the process took a long time.

‘Besides, there’s no need to be greedy.’

She had been greedy. There’s an old saying that pine caterpillars must eat pine needles.

It wasn’t bad to give up comfortably. When the time comes, she might be able to hold it.

“Oh, I have a good idea.”

At that moment, Sivar, who had been listening to Rize’s explanation, spoke up. Everyone’s attention focused on him.

He took Ragnarok and headed down the mountain. Since everything was done, everyone followed.

“Go ahead. I’ll stay to clean up and change.”

Kara, still in her dancer’s outfit, remained at the altar for cleanup and changing.

Those who followed Sivar arrived at a familiar place.

“Sivar, do you have business with The Principal?”

“Yes.”

“…”

Sivar’s destination was the building where Rod resided. It was where Sivar used to stay.

Luna felt a vague sense of unease watching Sivar head towards the building. She had a strong feeling that he was up to something.

‘Well, it’s not me who’s going to get in trouble, it’s Sivar…’

She decided to see what he was up to. Luna chuckled to herself and followed him.

When they reached the door of Rod’s building, Sivar knocked, and a familiar voice responded.

[Come in.]

Upon hearing that, Sivar opened the door without hesitation. Luna and the others followed.

Rod was leisurely reading a book, as always, with a cup of his favorite tea beside him.

“So, what brings you here? I thought the sky splitting was your doing.”

“It was my doing, so don’t worry.”

“It was you? That’s a relief. I was worried I’d have to investigate.”

Rod must have seen the sky split. It would be strange not to notice such a spectacle.

It might cause chaos in the academy, but with a good explanation, it would be fine. Given recent events, this was minor.

“Rod, take this.”

“Hmm? Why do you have Ragnarok… Wait, it looks different. And the aura is unusual.”

When Sivar handed over Ragnarok, Rod looked puzzled.

He had no idea about Ragnarok being damaged.

So he immediately noticed the change in its appearance but didn’t know the process behind it.

“Try holding it. I mean, try holding it.”

“…”

So that was his plan. Luna realized Sivar’s mischievous(?) intent and chuckled.

Rod wasn’t chosen by Chaos, nor was he a follower of Gulak. It was highly likely he wasn’t worthy.

In other words, Sivar intended to prank Rod by giving him Ragnarok.

‘He’s such a child…’

She didn’t know if it was a joke or serious. But one thing was clear.

There was a reason Sivar was chosen by Chaos. Having lived in the wild, she let it slide.

While Luna pondered, Rod, despite his doubts, accepted Sivar’s offer without suspicion.

Crackle!

As expected, when Rod grabbed the handle, a weak spark emitted. Luna flinched.

Even a spark stung. She knew from firsthand experience.

“Hmm?”

Crackle! Crackle!

But Rod merely showed curiosity, gripping the handle despite the sparks.

Boh sheer willpower.

Meanwhile, the sparks from the axe handle intensified. It was now beyond mere sparks.

If this continued, Rod’s hand might burn. Realizing this, Sivar hurried to retrieve the axe.

“Huff!”

Clench!

Rod tightened his grip on the handle, and something unusual happened.

The sparks, which had been fiercely resisting, vanished instantly.

Instead of being held by someone worthy, it seemed to submit to Rod.

“Fascinating. Has the weapon gained a will? I need an explanation.”

“H-How did you…”

“How did I do it?”

At Sivar’s question, Rod chuckled and replied.

“Anything in my hand can be treated as a sword. And I’ve subdued countless swords in my life.”

“…”

In other words,

“Remember when I turned a twig into a sword? It’s a similar principle.”

Don’t mess with the Sword Saint.

‘Yeah, I should just give up on weapons.’

Seeing that, Luna decided to abandon her greed.
