The Barbarian of the Academy - Chapter 121
(2)
4.
Laurea and Ian.
The two greeted each other with a smile..
On the other hand, Noah, who found Ian, looked surprised for a moment, then asked a question..
“huh? It's okay to walk already?”
“I'm pretty strong.”
“I was still stuck on the ground…….”
“haha, it's ok.”
Ian replied with a generous smile.
but that's for a while.
He suddenly narrowed his eyes and glanced in the direction of Ulan. Then, he spat out a word that I could feel in my bones..
“Of course, if someone hadn't thrown me to the ground, I would have recovered faster than I do now..”
“apologize for that.”
Ulan lowered his head slightly..
As if you have no face.
Then, Dillia and Ibela spoke to each other with curious faces..
“But why did you do that?”
“that's right. Was there any reason?”
Yesterday, Ulan threw Eloden's cadets upside down, including Ian, in a mock battle..
However, since they had not yet heard why, the two asked curiously. In response, Ulan briefly explained the reason.
“to prevent the use of prayers.”
“it's a prayer?”
Ibella asked back, and an explanation soon began..
To block the prayers, you must make it impossible to speak, and the easiest way to do that is to put your head on the ground..
Meanwhile, after Ulan's explanation.
The hall was filled with awkward silence..
Even Noah had an absurd expression on his face as if he didn't know that this was the reason..
then.
Ian let out a sigh..
“ha. What pisses me off the most is that there was no reason for me to fall to the ground in the first place..”
Immediately after frowning.
he glared at uhlan.
“Because the moment I collided swords with you, the orbs I kept in my arms shattered along with them in the aftermath of the collision between the auras..”
“Well that was it.”
“Why did you do that knowing that?”
Ian exclaimed..
If the marble is broken, it is practically the same as dropping out, so why the hell did you put it on the ground?.
Faced with eyes demanding clarification.
Ulan replied indifferently..
“just casually.”
“what, what?”
absurd answer.
Ian exclaimed in an absurd tone..
“carelessly?! No, who in the world would throw a man upside down without thinking??!”
“I'll be careful next time.”
“no! it's okay. From next time on, I won't have to fight you.!”
Ian nervously finished answering.
I had no choice but to fight because of the special situation of a friendly mock battle, and I didn't want to fight Ulans again..
There was no need to fight in the first place.
But at that moment.
“huh? that's not it?”
Someone interrupted the conversation.
Just Laurea. She gave a meaningful smile as she looked at her Ian and Ulan..
“Sooner or later there will be another fight.”
“Hey there, senior? what does that mean…….”
“I asked Ulan. I ask you to teach me until the day I die.”
“……yes?”
dazed face.
Ian blinked. As if you don't understand the current situation.
Laurea, on the other hand, smiled..
“Fortunately, I got Ulan's permission too..”
“no, with my permission?!”
“huh? that's important?”
“Most important! The party didn't even give permission, but who wants to proceed with the work?!?”
Ian jumped up from his seat..
It shows the will to never be taught. Laurea immediately asked.
“Then I won't?”
“of course!”
“You blow away the rare opportunity of being taught by a Master like this.?”
“Master and Nabal, and that monster has no common sense at all! If I'm taught, I might die!”
Intense rejection from the heart.
The moment I made a face of sincere disgust.
tuk tuk!
A large palm tapped my shoulder..
It was Ulan who approached before I knew it.
“do not worry.”
“yes? what…….”
“I won't kill you.”
“…….”
Originally, I didn't want to do it, but the answer made me hate it even more..
Ian took a step back..
With the intention of increasing the distance from Ulan as much as possible. In response, Laurea raised both hands..
“phew, good then you can't do it.”
“Really? Really?!”
“Yes, but I'll tell Lord Shanktooth well. Cadet Ian threw away the opportunity to be taught by his master and ran away..”
“……!?”
Ian's face went pale..
His teacher, Lord Shanktooth, had a habit of saying that if you ever meet a strong man with whom you can learn something, ask him to teach you even if you have to bow your head..
But what if today's affairs reached Lord Shanktooth's ears? No matter how positively I imagined it, I see nothing but a terrible future..
“ugh ugh!”
Ulan or Master?.
Ian, who was conflicted, finally made a decision..
“Ha, I see. I will be taught! can you get it!”
The reason for the choice was simple.
It was judged that the time to learn from Ulan is much shorter than the time to suffer from a teacher..
If both are hell, the short hell is better.
Ian thought so.
But did I say there is a place to escape even if you are cornered? In a fleeting moment, Ian came up with a trick to avoid Ulan's teachings..
“As long as I am a warrior, I have no intention of avoiding the teachings of the strong. but…….”
“but?”
“As you know, you haven't recovered your health from yesterday's battle, have you??”
It is to receive instruction as late as possible under the pretext of injury. With a smile of repentance inside, Ian continued to answer..
“In this state, it is not enough to be escorted by seniors, so it is better to receive lessons from Ulan cadets only after you feel better.…….”
But before the words are over.
saaaaa!
A pure white light enveloped him..
At the same time, an amazing thing happened.
“……uh?”
Minor scars disappeared in the blink of an eye, and the pale complexion returned to its original state..
where is that?
My body is also much lighter..
As if you were never hurt in the first place.
“how is it? it's solved now?”
She holds her hands together as if praying.
Laurea asked with a grin..
The moment he heard her words, Ian understood what had happened. With a dazed expression on his face, he trembled and shouted..
“Hey, isn't this a foul?”
“yes? It's a foul?”
“No, you used a holy relic.!”
Healing Relic, Limedium.
This is the name of the earrings Laurea wore..
And if you pray with the power of this sacred object, the healing effect is greatly increased..
Just like Ian right now.
“I'm just praying for you to recover quickly.?”
Laurea smiled..
As if it was pure kindness.
Ian tried to argue again, but no words came out. It was because of the terrifying presence suddenly felt from behind..
“I'm glad you're feeling better.”
“……!?”
“So let's start tomorrow.”
I feel like my heart is sinking.
Ulan and Laurea, on the other hand, laughed at the same time..
As if you have achieved your goal.
“……Holy Ghost. Your knight does not yet wish to become a star in the sky. If you hear my voice, please have mercy.”
please, really please!
Ian closed his eyes and prayed..
Since becoming a paladin of Eloden, today is the first time I have prayed so earnestly..
some time after that.
A familiar voice came.
“Oh my, everyone is already here.”
“sorry to keep you waiting.”
Camilla and Iris.
In addition, two other players arrived.
Rand Phileas and Emile Dirbel.
They are hunters who have done a good job in the raid and defense units, respectively..
“then let's go inside.”
At the end of Iris's words.
The group headed into the restaurant..
5.
After arriving at the reserved room.
The dish was prepared as if I had waited..
“uh, by the way…….”
the quantity was quite large.
That would be natural.
The dish prepared today was made under the assumption that all players in the mock battle would attend..
In other words, it means a meal for twenty-four people..
So when I first saw it, I thought, 'Can I really eat all of this?'.
But when the meal started, Iris soon realized that she was worrying for nothing..
munching! chomp!
A savage ravenously devouring food.
It was because of Ulan..
He devoured the food quickly, like someone who had starved for over ten days. Throwing away table etiquette, a truly barbaric appearance.
But no one pointed this out.
‘Of course.’
Ulan is the master.
A monster that transcends humans, numbering only 10 across the entire continent. That's why I was more interested in other things than dining etiquette..
“uhm, what.”
“It seems that when you reach the level of a master, you eat a lot more than normal people..”
“I know. Oh, maybe it's because I'm consuming so many calories??”
Following Rand and Emil's words, Camilla gave a plausible guess. Especially since Ulan is big, he'll use more calories..
But guessing for a while.
The other party soon started eating too..
It was because if left alone, Ulan would have eaten all the food by himself..
how long has it been like that?
After the somewhat militant meal, a delicious dessert was served with coffee..
Cakes, cookies and hotcakes.
As I stretched out my hand while looking at the various desserts, Ibella suddenly spoke to me..
“You know, Ulan..”
“……?”
“do you remember?”
“what do you mean?”
“that hot cake Doesn't look like anything I ate in the capital before?”
I heard and saw it.
Nodding her head at this, Ibella continued talking with a brightly colored face..
“It was really good. right?”
“Well, it was a memorable taste..”
“enough to want to eat again?”
If I had the opportunity to eat it again, it was a good taste, so Ulan nodded..
At the same time, Ibella's complexion brightened..
“really? hehe, good Well, since I got permission to stay out, let's go together again soon..”
As if she had waited, the way she tried to make an appointment with Ulan was skillful, like a hunter trying not to miss her prey..
But Ibela was missing something..
that she's not the only hunter.
“That's not allowed.”
“what?”
“You, last time, went out.”
Golden eyes glancing at Ibella.
It was Dillia. She answered as she took out the overnight permit she had kept in her arms..
“This time, it's my turn.”
“I don't know what you mean? I've never set a separate order?”
“You, basic, caring, don't know?”
“yes, not at all.”
It was a smiley face, but cold air raged around the two. Noah, who was a little far away, wrapped her around her shoulder..
‘Ignore it and eat cake.’
This is an issue with Ulan.
So he'll figure it out.
Noah thought so. But it was all her own thoughts..
“Noah.”
Suddenly a familiar voice.
Noah's shoulders trembled..
At the same time, Dillia and Ibela talked to each other without asking anyone first..
“What do you think?”
“Guess who's right?”
“…….”
an arrow that suddenly flew.
No, ask Ulan about that..
why are you asking me?
Noah cried.
It was because it was certain that the favorability of the other would go down no matter who he sided with. That's why I couldn't answer hastily and was confused.
“Oh right.”
A voice of salvation was suddenly heard..
It was Iris' voice..
“Come to think of it, Cadet Laurea. You said when the Eloden delegation would return home.?”
“It's next Thursday.”
“You're staying surprisingly short..”
“Because I came on a full-day schedule in the first place..”
Eloden's theme suddenly appeared.
Iris and Laurea's conversation looked at Ian, as well as Ulan and the other students..
At the same time, Evela and Dillia's eyes were also diverted, so Noah, who avoided the embarrassing situation, let out a sigh of relief..
“May I ask about the remaining schedule??”
“sure. First of all, three days later, on Friday, a visit to the fountain of magic is scheduled..”
This was also the ultimate goal of the Elloden delegation coming to Arsene..
Of course, at the present time, after hearing all about it from Ulan, it has become a goal that has become insignificant, but.
But Laurea didn't show it..
Rather, he replied with an excited face..
“In fact, it is also the schedule I look forward to the most..”
“A visit to the fountain of magic??”
“yes I've only seen it in books, but this is my first time actually visiting..”
Only this much was true.
Aside from oracles and investigations, I wanted to keep the fountain of magic in my eyes at least once..
However, Arsene's students, including Iris, had strange expressions. Laurea, realizing this belatedly, tilted her head..
“huh? Why do you look like that?”
“That's because you might be disappointed..”
“why?”
“Surprisingly, there's nothing to see.”
Iris smiled awkwardly..
“Well, that's it too.”
“3I don't know if it's beyond the area, but honestly, there's a strong feeling that it's there in area 1 or 2..”
Rand and Emil also added words..
Meanwhile, the moment she heard the story of the three, Laurea asked as if she had suddenly realized something..
“Are there any restrictions on access areas??”
“there is. If the purpose of the tour is to visit District 1, it will be limited..”
“that's right. And since there was a recent accident in District 2, there's a good chance it'll end after just looking around District 1..”
The answer this time is Iris and Camilla.
As the two said, there were restrictions on entering the fountain of magic by area. Hearing this for the first time, Laurea looked a bit disappointed..
“Phew, that's a bit unfortunate. If possible, I wanted to tour all areas..”
“Perhaps, if you go directly…….”
“Those words will never come out.”
Dillia and Ibela answered with disgust..
In particular, the two of them had experienced beyond District 2, so they knew better than anyone how terrible the fountain of magic was..
By the time the story ends.
The topic of conversation returned to the schedule..
“What's the next schedule?”
“After that, it's free time..”
“wow, that's nice.”
“If so, you can even watch the Lake Festival before returning home..”
Camilla and Iris smiled..
Laurea, on the other hand, had a puzzled expression..
“yes? Lake Festival Ramen…….”
“It is a traditional festival in Arsene.”
“Since ancient times, this area has been prone to frequent flooding every summer. I used to pray to the goddess of the lake to stop this..”
“And there is a legend that a grand festival was held with prayer to comfort the goddess, and since then the flood has gradually decreased..”
When the detailed explanation was continued.
Iris suddenly covered her mouth with an expression of regret. As if she realized her mistake.
“sorry. To mention another god in front of the people of Eloden?…….”
Iris apologizes over and over again.
Laurea and Ian, on the other hand, didn't care..
“no, it's okay.”
“you're right. It is said that there are as many gods as there are stars in the night sky that have existed in this world since ancient times..”
What they both said was true.
The followers of the holy kingdom acknowledge all divine beings other than holy spirits. This meant respect for all other religions and beliefs..
except for one.
‘Desert Cult.’
Cultists of the Southern Desert.
Seongguk named them terrible beings who should not exist in this world..
There were two reasons.
First of all, they serve not gods, but humans who once existed..
‘……Kazan Rudric.’
A mysterious existence that is barely mentioned in the original work. The Desert Church worships and worships only Kazan Rudric as a god..
The act of worshiping the same human as a god by a mere creature was heresy itself in the eyes of the Holy Kingdom..
‘and the second reason is…….’
Because of the doctrine of the Desert Church.
Precisely, the ultimate purpose of the church.
It is a crazy purpose to turn all living things in the world into demonic beasts..
This was also the cause of not only turning the kingdom into an enemy, but also the empire..
On the other hand, when Noah was deep in thought,.
The other students were in the middle of talking about the festival..
“Wow, I'm looking forward to the festival as well..”
“Fufu, you can look forward to it. I really did my best and prepared well..”
Laurea with twinkling eyes and Camilla with a proud smile. Around the time when everyone was exchanging conversations in such a friendly atmosphere.
Talk tok!
Someone tapped Ulan on the shoulder..
It was with a somewhat businesslike voice.
“uhlan cadet.”
Iris Senior.
She came up out of nowhere, pointed in the direction of the balcony and whispered.
“can you give me a minute?”
“Do you have any business?”
“Yes, I have a story I want to tell you..”
right after nodding.
she lowered her voice.
“It's about the student council.”
with the word student council.
Iris' eyes shone fiercely..
