The Academy's Barbarian-Chapter 112
(3)
5.
“hello everyone!”
A cheerful voice echoing through the hall.
A girl in her late teens, sitting in the relay box, waved happily at the audience..
“My name is Arsene Academy's Faculty of Magic, Adelin Luodefield, who will be relaying today's friendly mock battle. i look forward to!”
“I am Liv Merhale, a 2nd year student at the Faculty of Engineering at Elloden Academy, who was in charge of relaying together..”
when monday morning.
The day when the friendly mock match between Arsene Academy and Elloden Academy was held. A relay was selected from each school to broadcast the match..
Two men and women right here.
It was Adelin and Liv..
Behind the banquet hall was a spectator stand reserved for students and professors, and a huge screen was installed in the front..
A device that transmits images of mock battles.
As everyone's eyes turned to the screen, Adelin opened her mouth again..
“I heard that this Mock Battle is somewhat different from Arsene's Mock Battle. Could you please explain for the students of Arsene??”
“yes, of course.”
with a polite answer.
Liv's explanation soon began..
“Eloden's mock battle is conducted by capturing the opponent's flag. Or even if you neutralize all the opponent's troops, it is recognized as a victory..”
“That means there are two victory conditions.!”
“That's right.”
Liv nodded.
Adelin asked again..
“Then, are there any conditions or rules that must be followed in this mock battle??”
“Yes, first of all, to prevent serious injury, all players must wear protective clothing and use only wooden weapons..”
After first mentioning the obvious conditions.
An explanation of the rules was added later..
“Next, I will explain the special rules that are only available in Eloden's mock battles..”
“a special rule?”
“Yes, these are the rules for bases.”
Liv pointed to each faction's base..
Small huts built at the north and south ends, respectively. This is the heart of each faction and the place where the flag is kept..
“First of all, the force guarding the base must be 2 people unconditionally. No more than this, no less.”
“What if there is a change in personnel??”
“If there is only one player left or more than three players, a 10-minute grace period is given..”
If it is not restored after that, it will be regarded as a game abandonment and will be disqualified. Adelin laughed awkwardly at the somewhat tricky rules..
“So if both get out of the base…….”
“disqualification immediately.”
A firm answer without compromise.
It was a strict rule indeed..
“Second, the base's flag cannot be moved or moved arbitrarily. It doesn't matter if you are inside the base, but if you move outside the base, this will also be disqualified..”
It was an understandable rule.
If you can move the flag at will, mock battles will become like hide and seek.
“Finally, thirdly, base defenders can be replaced every 10 minutes after the start of battle. Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't replace.”
After the explanation, Liv closed her mouth..
After that, around the time when I was breathing for a while, Adelin smiled and changed the topic of the story..
“Yes, thank you for your kind explanation. Next, I would like to ask about how to tell the difference between winning and losing a battle..”
After smiling brightly.
Adelin's question continued..
“In Arsene, players are given magic orbs, and if the orbs are destroyed, it is considered death. How about Eloden??”
“Eloden is similar. The only difference is that there is a way to win without having to break the orb..”
“yes? what does that mean?”
“I'll show you.”
Liv pulled out a small marble..
He took the marble to the video recorder so that the spectators could see it..
“These are the marbles that will be used in this mock battle..”
Soon after, he placed the bead on his palm, and Liv's body was wrapped in bluish light. It meant that I had successfully owned the marble..
“If you are attacked while holding it, the orb's magical power will decrease by itself..”
“oh, can i try it?”
“yes? What if the test…….”
“Eight!”
Before Liv's words were finished.
Suddenly, Adelin hit him on the shoulder..
It's pretty hard too.
When Liv's face turned to embarrassment at the sudden surprise attack. Adelin opened her eyes wide in wonder..
“Wow, really! I lost my horsepower.”
“……Yes, so if it's hard to find the orb, you can also use repeated attacks to deplete the orb's magic to win..”
Liv answers with a shy face.
Adelin asked again..
“Then, how many times do you have to attack to completely deplete the opponent's marbles without breaking them??”
“depends on the strength of the attack.”
“What if it was just my attack??”
“You'll have to hit it more than 20 times.”
“okay. Then, if the power is strong…….”
Adelin clenched her fists..
In response, Reeve raised his guard..
Sudden defensive stance. Adelin, who discovered this belatedly, tilted her head..
“huh? what are you doing all of a sudden?”
“Just in case.”
“Aye, don't hit me. I hope you look like someone I would hit 20 times?”
“…….”
no answer came back.
Adelin let out a cough as if trying to evoke the awkward atmosphere. Just then, a series of groups appeared on the battlefield..
“Oh, while I was talking, a new object appeared on the battlefield! what is that?”
“I'm a magic soldier.”
“huh? what is that?”
“You can think of it as an enlisted soldier who is given 5 units per student. You can use it freely, such as ambush enemies or defend bases..”
The stage of the mock battle is very wide..
It was 5km from end to end..
Having only twenty-four students on a battlefield this size would be a bit of a waste..
In response, Eloden Academy tried to create an environment more similar to a real battlefield through the input of magical soldiers..
“Wow, this is kind of new. So, are 60 Magical Soldiers given to each faction??”
“no. 50 units per faction.”
“yes? But then the calculation…….”
“As a rule, magic soldiers are not given to the two stationed at the base..”
there was such a rule.
Adelin nodded..
then.
Players from both sides showed up.
Upon discovering this, the two broadcasters began to introduce the players in enthusiastic voices..
“I am Teron Schlagen, the representative of Eloden. A third-year student of the Faculty of Engineering, a strong man who has reached the level of an advanced knight, and serves as the president of the Elloden Student Council..”
“Arsene's representative, Miss Iris Senior. Like Elloden, he is a skilled person who has reached the level of a high-ranking knight.!”
After the introduction of each representative.
Liv asked curiously..
“Arsene is not the student council president.?”
“yes At Arsene, the representative was selected separately through a preliminary round. As a result, I know Miss Senior was selected..”
Well, there's no law that says only the student council president should be the representative. Liv nodded her head in understanding..
Afterwards, while introducing the players, exclamation suddenly erupted from the audience. It was because of the girl who just showed up..
“that person…….”
turquoise short haired beauty.
The appearance of a girl who created a neat atmosphere just by moving a step took away the eyes of the audience and even Adeline for a moment..
Faced with this look.
Liv put on a proud expression..
“This is Laurea Lo Charpell, a sophomore at the Eloden Faculty. And she is a very noble person who has been selected as the next saint of the Holy Land..”
“Really? Wow, what a giant!”
The position of a saintess in the Holy Land is noble enough to be second only to the imperial family or royalty in other countries. So Ethelin uttered her candid admiration..
but that's for a while.
She continued with a grin on her face..
Among Arsene's players, there was someone as noble and famous as Laurea..
“However, there are giants that Arsene is not inferior to. This is Dillia Arpen, a first year student who is called the genius wizard of the principality.!”
Blessed with Mana.
A person with a talent as rare as a saint, but with a talent for magic..
It was certainly comparable to Laurea, so Liv nodded her head approvingly..
Some time later, when almost all players were introduced. The last player of Eloden has appeared.
blue-haired young man.
Seeing him, Liv wrinkled her brow..
As if you don't like it. But even that was short-lived, and Liv soon performed the duties of a relayer..
“I am Ian Marcus, a freshman at the Eloden Knights Faculty. He is famous for being a strong expert..”
“ah! It's the Eloden expert that the cadet only heard about! Arsene is the person to be most wary of in this mock battle..”
Adelin pretended to know.
Then he pursed his lips.
“Rather than that, being an expert at the age of 18, isn’t this a big difference in power??”
“It could be. But I heard that Arsene has a similar talent.?”
“Whoops, that's right.”
Adelin smirked..
As if he was waiting for a mention.
Then she shouted, pointing at the last player of Arsene, a young man with a muscular torso..
“Arsene's top student this year and the terrorist at the entrance ceremony! An unprecedented freshman at the center of the topic! This is Ulan Bator.!”
Scary to end the roaring introduction.
Liv made an absurd expression for a moment..
“……a terrorist?”
“yes I was hospitalized for three days..”
“Hospitalization, what the hell is going on?…….”
“Ahaha, there is such a thing.”
Adelin scratched her cheek and laughed..
Seeing as if he was trying to avoid a detailed answer, Liv didn't ask any more questions..
After all the introductions were over, the players on the battlefield headed straight to their respective camps..
After a while, when the formation was finished, Adelin muttered with a surprised face..
“what? this is a bit surprising.”
“what part do you mean?”
“It's the defense power of the stronghold. Ulan students and Ian cadets, which can be said to be the best forces of both sides, are all deployed at the base..”
Stronghold of Arsene and Elloden.
This place where the flag is installed is an important place that can be said to be the heart of each faction..
However, there was no reason why the maximum power should be deployed here..
Rather, it would be more efficient to deploy in the front and quickly break the enemy formation..
From Adelin's point of view, the current situation was nothing more or less a waste of power. On the other hand, Liv thought a little differently..
“It's a bit surprising, of course, but I don't think it's that surprising..”
“yes? why?”
“As I said at the beginning, the base's defending troops can be replaced every 10 minutes..”
In other words, it was the same as meaning that Ulan and Ian would not remain stuck in the base. Adelin also put on an expression of understanding only then..
“So it can be interpreted as meaning that both sides will conserve their forces until the battle has progressed to some extent.!”
“well, you can see that.”
Liv grinned..
For some reason, a meaningful smile.
It looked like there was some ulterior motive, but Adelin didn't realize it..
there is only one reason.
pop! peweoong!
Red fireworks that light up the sky.
It was because it signaled the start of battle..
6.
When the real battle begins.
Unlike the front line where fierce battles come and go, there was an exceptionally peaceful place.
“I'm bored.”
Arsene's base.
Ulan, who was in charge of defending this place, let out a yawn with a bored expression on his face..
I would do just that. Unlike the battlefield, this place was really boring..
‘Fortunately, if…….’
The scenery of the battlefield can be seen from here.
To be precise, it was that only the surrounding scenery of representative Iris Senior and deputy representative Camilla Tanesia was reproduced as a video, but.
Still, I'm just happy with this.
If I didn't have these things, I might have fallen asleep from boredom..
When I silently looked at the scenery of the battlefield.
Suddenly Ulan's gaze turned to the other side..
“but can't you see?”
“…….”
There is a young man with a strong physique.
The man with dark brown hair tied back didn't even respond to Ulan's words..
The man's name is Cliff Anton.
Arsene student council president, mid-level wizard who handles wind, earth, and dark attributes..
He was also a master of defensive magic..
This was the reason Cliff was placed at the base..
‘but the problem is…….’
It was the fact that he had never spoken to Cliff since he was assigned to the base..
We never even met eyes.
Truly blatant disregard.
So even Ulan didn't speak anymore..
Likewise, I turned my attention to the video that illuminated the battlefield again, drawing attention..
‘The raid was split in two..’
Arsene's assault force is six..
1The group consists of representatives Iris and Ibella, and one hunter. Group 2 was made up of a combination of warriors, wizards, and hunters..
After a while, the battle soon began..
Iris, who discovered Elloden's magic soldier, charged forward with her spear in front, and Ulan, who saw this, saw her skill at once..
‘advanced knight's realm.’
It seems to be about the same as Himmel Deorg, whom he faced earlier. As she silently observed Iris's spearmanship, she squeezed through the gap she had created, and fierce sword strikes rained down on her..
Papababababak!
The blade that stabbed at the vital point.
It's Evela's attack..
As an intermediate level knight, she was so active that she would not yield even to Iris..
and the result.
―Heck!
A brief scream heard in the video.
A member of Eloden's raid was knocked over by a strong blow. Bella did not miss this and broke the magic orb in his arms..
Kwadeuk! perseok!
With the vivid sound of marbles breaking.
The opponent quickly knelt down. At the same time, a short notification was sent at the top of the video..
[Rondina Crepito: Dead]
[Eloden Remaining Forces: 11]
first born warrior.
Meanwhile, Iris defeated all the magic soldiers led by Rondina. Accordingly, the raiding party of Eloden decided to retreat without hesitation..
―Don't miss it and follow me!
Ibella was the first to move..
Not satisfied with her first performance, she kicked the ground. Then she stabbed the retreating enemy's gap with terrifying precision..
―go first! I'm in charge.
Did you realize that you can't run away?.
A boy volunteered to remain on the battlefield.
He engaged in a fierce battle with Ibella with his shield at the forefront, but soon after Iris joined in, he could not stand it any longer and collapsed..
[Urbo Bettiman: dead]
[Eloden Remaining Force: 10]
A raid that killed two in an instant.
It was a sure push.
Isella looked back at Iris with a faint smile. Soon after, an order came.
―It's dangerous to go any further here. I move while observing the situation..
You may receive a counterattack from raids and defense units that have rushed in and fled..
Iris tried to move while calmly checking the formation of Eloden. She even considers rejoining Team 2 if need be..
But at that moment.
There were also casualties on Arsene's side..
[Mond Parzeca: Death]
[Arsene Remaining Forces: 11]
Intermediate wizard who can handle fire and water.
Iris burst into a sigh at the news of the death of a third year student member of the student council..
But the upheaval isn't over yet.
[Yuria Petron: dead]
[Miffy Amarinno: dead]
[Arsene Remaining Forces: 9]
two more casualties.
Iris and Ibella's eyes widened..
I deserved it.
That's because the three people who just died are members of the raid team from Team 2. In other words, the currently displayed notification was the news that Team 2 had been wiped out..
―why…….
Eyes shaking as if shaken.
2Joe is not weak.
Each one was a strong man who had reached the level of an intermediate knight or an intermediate wizard. Also, as they are all members of the student council, they should have gotten along well..
But it was destroyed so quickly?
Who was your opponent??
At the moment when his suspicious eyes fluttered, Ulan's eyebrows twitched as he watched the video..
“that…….”
The crimson eyes stood out..
like you found something special.
and at that moment.
―……!
Ibella's expression on the other side of the video also changed..
Like Ulan, he seemed to have found something. Then, with her urgent cry, she turned her body in the opposite direction..
―Seniors!
Isabella leaping like an arrow.
She immediately thrust her sword at Iris..
Iris was taken aback by the sudden attack, but did not block it. It's because she realized that this Bella's sword didn't contain her murderous intent..
And it was the best choice.
A flash of light from beyond the bushes.
The sword attack aiming at Iris' nape was offset by Ibella's sword..
kaga gak!
Iris, who narrowly avoided the surprise, hurriedly stepped back, and soon after confirming the identity of the attacker, her eyes widened..
―everything, you……!
―Hey, this is a bit surprising.
A familiar voice was heard along with a startled cry. A young man with ultramarine blue hair in a hazmat suit armed with a wooden shield and wooden sword.
He grinned at Ibella..
―I hope you notice the surprise.
Eloden camp's strongest power.
It was the paladin Ian Marcus..
At the appearance of an unexpected person, Iris shouted with a surprised look in her eyes..
―how are you here?!
―shifted. It hurts to stay at the base all the time, so you have to be able to endure it..
Ian responds generously.
However, it was not the answer Iris wanted..
―i'm not asking that……!
―Haha, I know. How did you get here so quickly?.
It is about 3 km from the base of Eloden to this place..
Even if you run fast, it takes 10 minutes..
On the other hand, Ian appeared here 10 seconds after the time to change the base's defense personnel arrived..
Physically Impossible Speed.
Then Ian revealed the reason.
―It's simple. It's thanks to you.
―yes? If you are a senior…….
―it's me.
―La, Laurea?!
Isabella exclaimed in surprise..
The next saint, Laurea.
Ulan narrowed his eyes at her reflection on the screen. Laurea explains why Ian can get to the battlefield so quickly..
‘bridge of light.’
One of the original prayers of Saint Laurea.
A divine spell that allows you to move wherever sunlight, starlight, or moonlight touches you..
It is an ability that is no different from instant movement..
‘Right. That's why you chose plains?’
The canyon has more shadows than rays.
So if the terrain was difficult to use the bridge of light, the plains were the opposite. Except for the forest in the center, it was sunny all over..
‘Then, the first place to be deployed…….’
It must be to catch me off guard like this..
If Ian had been assigned to an offensive or defensive unit from the beginning, Iris wouldn't have been as aggressive as he is now..
Meanwhile, Iris and Ibella also looked shocked. It was only then that I realized that everything was Ian's plan..
There is nothing wrong with both.
As long as you don't know about the existence of the divine spell called the Bridge of Light, it's natural to get hit..
When the conversation stops and silence comes.
Iris and Ibella pursed their lips..
as if exchanging whispers.
I wanted to hear what they were talking about, but I couldn't hear it because the voice was too low..
After a not short time has passed.
Suddenly, Iris stepped back, and Ybella and another member of the raid confronted Ian..
―Are you ready??
with a smirk.
Ian leaned forward with his shield in front. Then, after playfully swinging his wooden sword, he raised his mouth and laughed..
―Then please.
Eyes shining with fighting spirit.
Ybella did not lose and fixed her sword..
colleagues from past lives.
Seeing the confrontation between Geomhee and Paladin, my body itched without realizing it. The moment when a smile of compassion bloomed on Ulan's lips.
paaaat!
Ibella's wooden sword crossed the air..
It was a sign of war..
27page. friendly mock battle
