The Academy's Barbarian-Chapter 124
(2)
3.
After Ulan joins hands with Dillia.
The observer's eyes quickly disappeared in the direction of the fog. It must have headed for the place where the black smoke was witnessed..
“how is it? can you see something?”
“not yet seen.”
I can't see it anymore.
Because the Eye of the Watcher had just entered District 2. So it will take thirty minutes at the earliest to reach beyond the fog..
‘And even if you see something…….’
I had no intention of telling you right away..
'Cause I want to stay like this a little longer.
A shy smile bloomed like a flower on Dillia's lips. it was a satisfied smile.
“i get it. then wait a little longer.”
Meanwhile, Ulan nodded..
The fountain of magical power is wide enough to be described as vast. It goes without saying that it takes quite a while to find the exact location..
With that expression of understanding the situation, the moment I tried to hurried my steps again.
“……what are you doing now?”
Suddenly I heard Ibella's voice..
A voice cold as frost.
She glared at Ulan and Dillia with a face as cold as her voice..
“why are you two holding hands?”
“oh that's…….”
“i didn't ask you.”
Ibella cut off Dillia's words as she tried to explain the situation. Then she met Ulan's eyes and opened her mouth..
“tell me what's up.”
Eyes with strange pressure.
But Ulan had a calm face..
As if he hadn't felt the chill that Ibella radiated. So she answered her question without hesitation..
“that's how it happened.”
“…….”
some time after that.
The explanation of all the details is over.
Everything from seeing something suspicious beyond the fog to finding out what it was, Dillia is using magic..
Ibela, on the other hand, was a reaction she still did not understand. After a while, she glared at Dillia with an uneasy expression..
“Then it won't be solved by stopping for a while, using magic first, and then moving again.?”
this was not wrong.
However, Dillia thought differently..
“Movement, delay, to everyone, a nuisance.”
“In a little while, everyone will understand?”
“no, even if you don't have to stop, you can solve it enough, but you don't have to.”
After shaking my head.
Suddenly, Dillia took half a step to the side..
Then, naturally, I came close to Ulan, and Ibela, who saw this, immediately twitched her eyebrows..
“what are you doing?”
“what?”
“I really need to stick like that?”
“This is how it works, focus.”
“what nonsense……!”
Just as Ibella was about to raise her voice.
Dillia tilted her head..
“why, i can't?”
“of course…….”
“You know better, magic, better than me?”
A word that flew fiercely.
Ibella was speechless for a moment..
It was because she, who was unfamiliar with magic, could not refute Dillia's words..
“Concentration, consumed by magic, is affected by psychological stability.”
“…….”
“And, what gives me a sense of security, Ulan, is the only one. you know what i mean?”
Dillia smiled..
In other words, I'm helping Ulan, so don't interfere and get attention..
Knowing this, Ibella shuddered and turned her head away. It was to find out if Dillia's words were true..
“Noah!”
“uh, uh uh?”
“Is what he said true? Is it true that you need stability to use magic?.”
Isabella asking like an interrogation.
Noah laughed awkwardly..
‘Of course it's true to some extent.’
Concentration is necessary to maintain the spell or magic you have activated, and the more stable the environment, the better..
‘but…….’
This is for ordinary wizards only..
Dillia, on the other hand, is a genius. In addition, a truly blessed wizard who even receives the love of mana.
That's why it's not clumsy to use magic even for the first time..
‘Last time, I was successful as if to show off.’
Last month, when the gap in the abyss opened.
At that time, Dillia used 7-star cluster magic, meteor shower. It was obviously used for the first time at this time, but the meteor shower was successfully activated..
Then why did Dillia give such an answer??
There is only one possible reason.
‘Probably to monopolize Ulan.’
Dillia, like Evela, has a crush on Ulan. Meanwhile, when her Noah didn't say anything, this Bella urged her over and over again..
“give me an answer that's true?”
“ok, that's it…….”
At the crossroads of choice again.
No matter whose side you take, the favorability is bound to go down. So the moment I tried to gloss over the answer as if it was difficult.
“it's true.”
“……!?”
someone intercepted the answer.
Is it because of the sudden voice??
Noah and Ibela were surprised. Then the man who spoke made an embarrassed expression..
“I'm sorry. I didn't mean to surprise you.”
The voice of the Earl of Dermore.
Seeing him lower his head apologetically, the two girls waved their hands..
“Oh, no. are you okay.”
“what about just……?”
Isabella's question is about to end.
Soon the Count's answer came back..
“A high degree of concentration is required for all the acts of constructing magic formulas and calculating and using the necessary mana..”
The Count replied with a wedge..
“In order to exert maximum concentration, the mind of the caster must first be stabilized. So, what the girl said is true..”
“ooh, that's right.”
Ibella was meekly resigned..
Count Dermore was a wizard of considerable skill, so I judged what he said was right..
Of course, I didn't go away.
Leaving her behind as she waited for an opportunity to counterattack with a very resentful face, Noah let out a sigh of relief without a word..
‘Phew, thanks to you, I'm alive.’
Thanks to the Count's timely answer, I was able to get out of an embarrassing situation..
So when I was relieved again.
“more than Noah.”
“oh yes?”
“What is academy life like??”
Suddenly, the Count asked how he was doing..
Noah replied with a smile..
“Thanks to the count's consideration, I'm having a good time. I also made many friends.”
“Good thing. there is nothing uncomfortable?”
“I'm fine so far.”
“Got it. Then, if there is anything I would like to ask of you later, please let me know. Because you are the disciple of my dear friend..”
“yes, thank you for your words.”
at the end of a formal conversation.
The Count went back to the investigation team. Then, Noah, who was looking at the back of the count, narrowed his eyes..
‘……lie.’
To say that you are a disciple of a precious friend is a blatant lie. The basis for this can be explained simply by recalling the purpose of the count..
‘Earl of Dermore's Purpose.’
It is to revive the daughter who passed away from an unexpected illness about three years ago. Furthermore, she is looking for a vessel to contain her daughter's soul..
Here, the vessel is the human body.
In addition, the owner of the body must be able to handle mana while being the same age as her daughter. This will increase the chances of success of the plan..
‘In other words, the Count is good to me…….’
This is because they see Noah as their daughter's vessel..
Knowing this well, Noah always kept a reasonable distance from the Count. That's how he was about to shake off his thoughts about the count..
‘oh, that's right.’
There was a memory that suddenly came back.
Another girl whom Count Dermore had singled out as a candidate for the vessel came to mind..
‘Sirpi Rudric.’
A person who uses the pseudonym Sylphy Ludhina.
However, in reality, he is a descendant of Kazan Rudric and one of the successors of the Desert Church..
I wanted to investigate separately, but I gave up because there was no proper information or data..
‘Come to think of it, I haven't seen it lately..’
To be exact, I haven't seen it since the visit of the Elloden exchange group. Of course, there were reasons to speculate.
‘Well, he's a heretic.’
There's nothing good about meeting the cadets of the Holy Kingdom who hate the Desert Church..
When I finished guessing like that.
Professor Sol, who was explaining the fountain of magic to the cadets of Eloden, turned around..
“This is the end of District 1..”
the destination you have reached.
It was like a notice announcing that the field trip would soon end. Of course, the Ulan party who agreed to cooperate with Count Dermore and his investigation team was an exception, but.
“So, today's tour ends here. if you have any questions…….”
before she even finishes talking.
someone raised a hand The girl with turquoise hair was Laurea..
“Oh, Cadet Laurea? do you have any questions?”
“no. not a question.”
“yes? then…….”
“I want to tour the second area as well.”
“……yes?”
The professor who leads the question blankly.
she replied with a bewildered face.
“ha, but that…….”
“Abyssal Cleft.”
Laurea cuts off again.
When she mentioned the incident that occurred in District 2 last month, her bright yellow eyes immediately flashed..
“I want to see where the incident took place. In case you didn't know, I got permission..”
With Laurea's smile at the end.
Ian, who was by his side, took something out of his bosom..
three envelopes. Inside was a permit permitting entry into District 2..
“……!”
It was a real license.
The official seal of Dipplin Chernio, the dean of the Faculty of Magic, on the permit proved this..
“Eh, when will this happen?…….”
“I got it yesterday There is a senior who is thoroughly prepared on our side..”
Along with Laurea's answer, Teron, the student council president of Eloden, shrugged..
Then the lead professor was quite perplexed..
It is because of a momentary loss of judgment due to a situation that was out of schedule. Count Dermore, who was observing the situation, intervened in the conversation..
“Allow me to extend the tour.”
“ship, count?!”
“Anyway, it's a matter that even the Holy Land should know about..”
Brown eyes looked at Laurea..
The Count's answer continued in unison..
“Above all, we'll accompany you to District 2, so there won't be any danger..”
No, it's rather dangerous..
What he wanted to say, Noah tried to hold back. Meanwhile, the conflicted professor sighed and nodded his head..
“……All right. Then only cadets with permits will be allowed entry..”
Three entry permits.
In other words, there were only three cadets who could enter District 2. And it was already decided.
Theron Schlagen, student president of Eloden.
The next saint, Laurea Lo Charpell.
Finally, escort Ian Marcus.
After determining the final number of.
The crowd split in two.
A group heading out after a scheduled field trip and a group entering District 2. The two groups moved toward their respective destinations..
“Then I'll go right in.”
The words of the leading professor as a signal.
The Ulan party, together with the Imperial investigation team, moved vigorously. Last month, the abyss opened and monsters rained down on it..
Fountain of Magic, to District 2.
4.
Meanwhile around that time.
Fountain of Power, District 3.
Is it because the sun is not shining due to the thick fog? The area around District 3 was so dark that it was impossible to distinguish even an inch ahead..
then.
roar!
Gnawing the darkness, a small spark bloomed.
The identity of the flame is a magic lamp. Soon after, a cry was heard near the magic lamp..
“Oops, it's a joke.”
A weak voice that kept coming out.
The owner of the voice was a girl with apricot-colored hair wearing a gray robe..
Dean of the Faculty of Magic, Dipplin Cernio.
With a pained sound, she swung the staff in her hand. It was to draw a magic circle on the floor..
When it's been so long.
The staff, which had been moving without rest, stopped..
“phew, we're almost done.”
Now, all you have to do is place the magic stone and carve the seal. Dipplin sighed and sat down on a nearby rock to take a break..
After wiping the sweat from my forehead.
She tilted her head as she saw what she had placed in the center of the magic circle..
“anyway what the hell is that?”
The identity of the object is a black pendant.
It was an item that Ertel, the Abyss Worshiper, handed over three days ago to use as a sacrifice in the ceremony to open the rift in the Abyss..
“I was trying to figure out what…….”
In the end, I couldn't reveal my identity..
All I found out was that the magic of the abyss exists inside the pendant..
And since entering District 3, the pendant has been continuously emitting black smoke..
It is the magic of the abyss that I mentioned earlier..
“Well, it has nothing to do with me.”
Ordinary wizards feel fear and confusion just by seeing the magic of the abyss..
Dipplin, on the other hand, was different..
Of course, she used to be like that too, but after interacting with the Abyssal Worshipers, it didn't bother me at all when I saw that..
After a light shrug.
Dipplin turned his attention elsewhere..
“Rather, I look forward to it this time.”
Eyes twinkling like stars.
Now her attention was focused on the gap in the abyss that was about to open..
Because today there are far more lures to catch the eye of the creatures of the abyss than last time..
‘Last time it was about two.’
Dylia Arpen and Noah Darshen.
Just with the existence of the two girls who were loved by Mana, thousands of creatures from the abyss came out from the cracks..
In addition, a gigantic dragon presumed to be a descendant of the abyss appeared..
‘But this time, two new baits were added under the same conditions as last time..’
First of all, the Imperial Survey Corps.
All of them are made up of intermediate level wizards, and their leader, Count Dermore, is also a very skilled wizard..
Although not as much as Dillian or Noah, it was enough to attract the attention of the creatures of the abyss..
‘and the second bait…….’
Eloden Academy's student delegation.
Among them, what is noteworthy is Laurea Lo Charpell, known as the next saint..
‘Abyssal worshipers say that the Lords of the Abyss hate followers of the Holy Ghost with a terrible hatred..’
Even more so, if you are a next-generation saint, you are the agent of God closest to the holy spirit. She is the perfect lure for stimulating monarchs..
‘so…….’
Yesterday afternoon, when a cadet named Theron Schlagen came to pick up his permit, it felt like a pumpkin had rolled into it..
Accordingly, three permits were issued as he requested, without cumbersome procedures..
After reminiscing up to this point.
“Alright then let's finish the job?”
At least until the Imperial investigation team enters District 3, we have to finish the job..
Dipplin jumped off the rock, grabbed the magic lamp, and headed straight for the magic circle..
was to resume work.
Is it because I'm too focused on my work??
Something she hadn't noticed.
The boundary between District 3 and District 2. Knowing that a small orb is approaching from beyond the misty veil that spreads thickly over the surface of the water..
Sphere that emits soft light.
It was the 'Eye of the Beholder'.
