The Academy's Barbarian-Chapter 119
(5)
9.
The night after the mock battle.
At 10:00 p.m., the dorm curfew began..
The housekeepers went around the room to check the number of people, and soon all the lights went out..
Corridor locked in darkness.
Arsene's guards patrolled the perimeter of the dormitory as usual. But I didn't detect a huge shadow leaving the window..
It would be natural.
The identity of the shadow was Ulan, a figure who received a lot of attention in today's mock battle and a strong man who revealed the Master's power without filtering..
Completely hiding his presence, he crossed the forest and headed straight to Laurea's inn..
some time after that.
Uhlan broke through the formidable perimeter in the blink of an eye. Then, after climbing up the outer wall of the accommodation in an instant, we arrived at our destination..
What I saw was a half-open window.
Maybe it was designed to make it easier to get in..
So Ulan immediately went inside, and before long his eyes met Laurea, who was reclining on the balcony..
“……ah.”
Eyes that turned round in an instant.
However, the feeling of surprise soon disappeared. It was because I realized that the identity of the visitor was Ulan..
Then at that moment.
Laurea made a sullen face..
“what? why are you so late?”
“I came at night as promised.”
“But it's such a bad night.”
She responds in a blunt tone.
The long, elongated tone was suspicious, sure enough. I could see Laurea's cheeks glowing slightly in the moonlight..
“did you drink?”
“okay! He didn't come and drank a little.”
“It doesn't seem like a little bit…….”
“it's okay. a little bit for me.”
Five bottles of alcohol rolling on the floor.
Besides, the bottle in his hand was almost empty. Laurea let out a series of hiccups and pointed to the chair across from her, furrowing her brow..
“Rather sit there. sore throat.”
It must have been a sore throat trying to keep looking up..
Ulan sat down in a chair without saying a word, and immediately looked at Laurea and asked what was going on..
“why did you call me?”
“wait. Just drink this.”
After pouring the remaining wine into your mouth.
She patted her cheek with the palm of her hand as if trying to come to her senses. She then put her hands together respectfully and pursed her lips as she gazed at the stars..
some time after that.
aaaaaaa!
A white halo of light enveloped her..
Then, the blush on Laurea's cheeks went away to some extent. The hiccups stopped, and the slightly opened eyes returned to normal..
“yep, that's it.”
Laurea looks satisfied.
Her action just now was to blow away her drunkenness with divine power through prayer..
It was a sight he had often seen in his past life, so Ulan looked at her calmly. Laurea, too, turned her gaze to Ulan..
And soon revealed the business that called him.
“earlier.”
“……?”
“While you and Ian were fighting, I had a brief chat with Noah Darschen..”
It must be referring to the time when you crossed over to Arsene's stronghold using the unique prayer text, the Bridge of Light..
She described all the conversations she had with Noah at the time, without missing a word..
“In other words, among the information obtained so far, the most meaningful thing is that Noah Darshen and Abyss are not on the same side..”
After the explanation of all the details.
Laurea summarized and delivered the most important parts of this conversation..
and one more.
There was an important guess.
“This is my personal opinion, but I think he's from the future like you..”
“Is there any reason you thought so?”
“Yes, as I explained earlier, when asked if I knew the future, I answered yes..”
turned out to be true.
Ulan, on the other hand, reacted with a shudder..
“But Noah has foresight.”
“I've heard that before, but to be honest, it doesn't make sense that foresight can predict such details..”
Laurea said firmly..
Above all, from the point of view that there is definitely a person from the future like Ulan, this is a little more persuasive than foresight..
“So, in a state of memory of the future like you, it would be more reasonable to say that it was explained by packaging it as if it were foresight..”
After a short guess.
Laurea added an explanation..
“Also, the reason why Noah is not in your memory is that you did not enter Arsene Academy in your past life.?”
“um, that's for sure…….”
It's a reasonable guess.
If she had attended Arsene Academy in her past life, she would never have encountered Ulan at all..
So when I was silently thinking.
Laurea spoke again..
“I also have a new question.”
“what?”
“Didn't he say his goal was to return to where he was? So does this mean you want to go back to the original future??”
If so, what is the reason?
The future that Ulan went through was devastated by the abyss and became hell itself.?
Laurea looked curious..
Ulan shook his head at this. As if her guess was wrong this time.
“maybe it means something else.”
“huh? what do you mean?”
“When the gap in the abyss was opened, the abyss called Noah a stranger..”
“Because I am a stranger…….”
Laurea's eyes softened..
As if you found an important clue.
A stranger in an empire or castle country refers to a person from a region with a different culture and customs, or a person from a foreign country..
Then, what does the stranger seen from the perspective of the abyss really mean??
“Maybe Ulan, to you too…….”
“I didn't say anything like that.”
I didn't say that I was a stranger to Ulan from the future.?
Laurea frowned..
A question that I thought would be easily solved suddenly felt like I was falling into a labyrinth..
“Hmmm, I'll have to look into that a bit more.”
It is difficult to infer from current information alone.
Having made up her mind, she leaned against the backrest. She then returned the conversation back to square one..
“Still, it's clear that he's not our enemy. So I guess it's okay to take a chance and tell your story.”
Because Noah is not on the side of the abyss.
However, Ulan thought differently..
“No, Noah comes first.”
“Yes?”
“I have no intention of telling my story unless Noah tells me his secret first..”
Unexpected stubborn attitude.
Laurea asked curiously..
“why?”
“That guy has too many secrets.”
“if it's a secret…….”
“Above all, just because you're not an enemy doesn't mean you're an ally. So when I can trust him, I intend to confide in him..”
An answer that makes sense.
she nodded.
“Well, on that point I agree. It sure seemed like he had a lot to hide.”
Also, if you think about it carefully, there are still many unanswered questions..
From the coexistence of two souls in one body to the failure to answer the question of identity and the unfamiliar word player..
As Ulan said, there are a lot of undisclosed secrets. Laurea nodded again and decided to respect Ulan's wishes..
“okay. Then I'll make a place where the three of us can see each other later..”
“that would be nice.”
Ulan grinned..
If you put all your secrets down and have a conversation, Ulando will be able to trust Noah..
Eventually, after all conversations are over.
Laurea grabbed the bottle again..
“Are you thinking of drinking again??”
“Yes. Maybe it's because the alcohol is gone, I've been hearing the voices of the stars since before..”
Laurea shrugs..
Bringing out a new bottle, she sat down and unscrewed the stopper. She then took a sip from the bottle and looked back at Ulan..
“But I mean.”
“hmm?”
“What are you looking at from a while ago?”
From the end of the business until now.
Ulan did not take his eyes off her body..
Eyes that can be seen as blatant. Laurea asked with a strange smile..
“if you are interested in my body…….”
“similar.”
“……what? Gee, real?”
Laurea was startled..
I only asked because I was being playful, but I never thought I would admit it so meekly..
When he was confused and flustered by the unexpected answer, Ulan corrected his answer a little..
“exactly the clothes.”
“oh clothes?”
“My clothes were different from my last life.”
Currently, Laurea wears a black uniform with a silver shawl. On the other hand, in my past life, I always wore a white robe..
I had never seen her wear black before, so I was naturally curious..
“so i was curious.”
“ah, what is it? it was like that?”
That's why it's not as big as you think.
Laurea let out a deep sigh. He immediately gave an answer.
“No big deal. Black clothes mean apprenticeship in the holy kingdom.”
That's why apprentice priests, apprentice paladins, and even apprentice saints usually wear black clothes..
After that, when the position is officially recognized, then the qualification to wear the pure white robe or holy robe is granted..
“Right. learned something new.”
Knowledge that I didn't know in my past life.
Ulan nodded his head with twinkling eyes..
By the time the curiosity was resolved, Laurea had emptied the bottle cleanly before she knew it..
Seventh bottle already. It's time to stop drinking, but she brought the eighth bottle.
“drink again?”
“That's not enough. you know?”
I even threw my spirits away.
So I must drink more to fall asleep ignoring the voice of the stars.
Afterwards, Laurea, who had taken a sip of wine, suddenly showed a mischievous look on her face and held out the bottle she was holding to Ulan..
“Or would you like to drink with me?”
“I won't hesitate if you recommend.”
Ulan snatched the bottle.
After a while, Ulan, who had drunk all the wine, handed the empty bottle to Laurea..
“drank well.”
“…….”
What happened in the blink of an eye.
She blinked her wide-open eyes, then screamed in bewilderment..
“what? you can drink?!”
“you suggested it first?”
“No, that's not it, I heard that in the Empire, people from the age of 18 are recognized as adults.…….”
“I am not imperial.”
very simple answer.
Laurea is at a loss for words..
“And if I had to ask for age, I couldn't say I was seventeen. Because I've already experienced the time up to forty-six in my last life.”
This is also a valid answer.
Although the body is seventeen years old, the mind can be said to be much older than that..
And the moment you realize it.
“…….”
Laurea's speech was reduced..
After a while, she neatly put back the undone buttons. Furthermore, the slightly flared collar was meticulously matched..
Soon, she sat quietly in a chair and started glancing at Ulan in silence..
“What are you glancing at??”
“Oh no! Nothing…….”
diminishing voice.
This is a completely different reaction from before..
When Ulan made a puzzled expression, Laurea let out a loud cough on purpose..
“Big! More than that, I have a question!”
As if turning the topic elsewhere.
she asked a quick question.
“I mean alcohol You tend to drink too?”
“I can see that.”
“how much? drink better than me?”
“that's not.”
“uh? really?”
“Yeah, of all my colleagues, no one could drink better than you..”
Laurea's eyes widened..
As if I heard an unexpected fact.
“Everyone was unexpectedly weak.”
“no you are strong.”
Ulan corrected the answer.
At this, Laurea pursed her lips and decided to change the question slightly..
“Then the next best drinker after me?”
It must be Ulan this time.
Just by looking at it, it looks good to drink.
However, an unexpected answer came back.
“It's Pertishada.”
“Yes? Pertisia Ramen…….”
The last name I heard.
she asked, searching for memories..
“Except for Ian, he's the one who said he was closest to me.?”
“Yes.”
Ulan nodding his head in affirmation.
At the same time, a new curiosity arose..
There were also questions that I hadn't been able to ask because I didn't have time before..
“what kind of kid is he?”
“Compared to you, I have a gentle personality..”
“what's up?!”
Laurea's face wrinkled..
an uncomfortable expression.
Meanwhile, Ulan continued talking, still remembering the information about Perticia..
“If there is another characteristic other than this, it must be that it is half-human and half-spirit..”
“half man half spirit?”
“It is a hybrid of human and spirit..”
“uh, is that possible? The spirit has no substance?”
“i don't know the details.”
I just heard that Perticia said that she was half-human and half-spirit when she first introduced herself..
I also actually used magic..
On the other hand, perhaps deciding that she couldn't get an accurate answer from Ulan, she asked a different topic about Perticia..
“So what country is Pertishia from? Is she also the Duchy of Alpen??”
“the ruben empire.”
“really? I'm surprised For some reason, I thought he was from the Principality of Arpen. So, are you a noble of the empire? Or commoner?”
When several speculative remarks were made.
Ulan's answer is back.
“Pertisia is a princess.”
“……what?”
“The seventh princess of the Ruben Empire. When she first met, he introduced himself like that..”
Laurea's eyes widened..
like you can't believe.
“Are you remembering it wrong? Currently, there must be six members of the emperor's lineage.…….”
“You had the same reaction in your past life..”
Ulan replied in a familiar tone..
But the distrust quickly dissipated..
Because the introduction of Perticia seen through the projections turned out to be completely true. Upon hearing this explanation, Laurea murmured with a surprised face..
“the hidden princess…….”
Here's another interesting piece of information.
Bright yellow eyes sparkled with interest..
After a while, around the time the story about Perticia was finished. Listening to her story, she said with a slightly drunken face..
“Now that it's like this, let me hear more.”
“what do you mean?”
“Memories of the future.”
“Do you want to hear more about Perticia??”
“no, that's over now.”
“then?”
When Ulan asked, Laurea closed her mouth for a moment. Hesitating to answer. After a while, she muttered in a low voice..
“……when we first met.”
“what?”
“When I first met you!”
A slightly louder voice came out this time..
Maybe I'm drunk, my cheeks are strangely red.
With slightly wet eyes, Laurea gazed intently into Ulan's eyes..
“And I want to hear all about what happened together and how we got back together.”
“I wonder why?”
“i wonder So let me know.”
Enduring without backing down.
I don't know why, but there seems to be a reason why I must hear it. It wasn't particularly difficult, so Ulan readily nodded her head..
“i get it. So let me tell you from when you called me a motherfuckin' barbarian.”
“my, i said that?!”
“okay. if that was when…….”
Ulan's story began soon.
As he continued, Laurea's complexion changed. The appearance of turning to earthy color and then turning pale.
The night deepened, with the sight of Laurea weighed down by the karma she had accumulated in her past life..
and at noon the next day.
Players from Arsene and Elloden Academy, who participated in a friendly mock match, gathered together..
It was for an after party..
