The Academy's Barbarian-Chapter 143

(3)

4.

Festival in success.

Lots of food, lots to see.

Ulan and his party looked around the splendid streets without realizing that time was passing. So was Noah..

‘I didn't know about it when I saw the game.…….’

In fact, the feeling is very different..

Would you say it's full of vitality? So I was able to immerse myself in the festival even more. Then, suddenly, someone grabbed her by the hem of her dress..

“look, look.”

Hands shining white in the light.

It was Dillia. What she saw in the direction she pointed was a small stall set up in her corner..

Looking at the products and dice piled up like a mountain, I quickly got a sense of what the place was like..

“That ain't cute?”

“huh? Like what?”

“I mean brooch.”

Products heaped up on the table.

Among them, there was only one item that appeared to be a brooch. Noah made a subtle expression..

“……dilia?”

“huh.”

“Just in case, I'm not talking about that spider-like thing.?”

spider brooch.

Seeing the silver-worked body with decorations symbolizing the eight joints of the legs, somehow made me feel bad..

So it must be an illusion.

Noah guessed so. But Dillia shattered her expectations..

“That's right?”

“I think that's cute?”

“Yes, I have a lot of legs, so they're cute.”

An incomprehensible aesthetic sense.

Noah laughed awkwardly. Then this Bella, who was walking with her, said with a disgusted face.

“I have no real eyes.”

“what, how?”

“If it's cute, that's the best.”

Isabella pointed at a stuffed rabbit.

It is a very luxurious doll..

At first glance, it used colorful silk, and even had red jewels embedded in its eyes..

‘Of course, that's not very cute either.…….’

Still better than a spider brooch.

Noah nodded his head in agreement. Dillia, on the other hand, had a completely different idea..

“Ordinary. It's tacky. Not funny.”

“what? much better than a spider?!”

Two girls arguing quickly.

I wanted to be quiet for a while, but it's starting again. Noah, who had noticed her, left her seat quietly..

Because I felt like I would get tired if I got caught up in it.

but it was a futile attempt.

“how is noah?”

“what do you like the most?”

Because as soon as they tried to leave, questions flew in from both of them..

I knew this would happen and tried to run away.

Noah sighed inwardly and looked through the products piled high on the table. Then she suddenly found something that caught her attention..

“i think that's fine.”

Where Noah's Finger Pointed.

Immediately after seeing the products there, Ibela and Dillia looked puzzled..

“uh? that…….”

“just, dice, no?”

two small dice.

Except for the fact that it is inlaid with gold and jewels, it is just an ordinary die. But you say you like it? The moment I made a questionable expression.

Noah revealed why he chose that one.

“that looks the most expensive.”

“…….”

The two of them closed their mouths in response..

At the same time, I remembered something I had forgotten. Noah said that she was obsessed with money from before..

In fact, I liked the gold coins that were awarded together more than the overnight stay permission I received as a reward for winning the friendly mock battle..

“Rather, how about Laurea??”

“huh? What?”

“I was talking about what I like about the products you see there..”

“Oh, then I…….”

As she looked at the products, she was speechless..

As if there's nothing to be proud of.

“They're all good, but if I had to choose just one, I think that would be the best..”

“which one?”

“The ring at the top over there..”

As soon as the answer of the ring is finished.

Ybela and Dillia, who were bickering, turned their heads at once. There was a golden ring shining softly in the light..

『ring of light』

A ring enchanted with light.

However, the fact that it was enchanted was not particularly important. It is important that there is a 'ring' among numerous products..

there is only one reason.

This is because the act itself of receiving a ring as a gift from the opposite sex has meaning..

“…….”

Immediately after recalling this.

the three looked at each other.

Soon, no matter who said it first, I realized. that everyone is thinking the same.

The moment they realized this, the three girls turned around at the same time. Toward Ulan, who was eating stir-fried meat with Ian at a nearby stall..

“You know, Ulan..”

“……?”

“Why don't we try that?”

Starting with Ibela who hit the ball.

Dillia and Laurea also added their words..

“dice, throwing.”

“I have something I want.”

Three pairs of eyes twinkling like stars.

Ulan asked with a bewildered face while facing the gaze of strong anticipation..

“Then you can just go and throw it.?”

“Phew, I'd love to, but I can't help it because it's against doctrine..”

Laurea sighed and tapped Ian with her elbow. Ian replied quickly as if he understood what this meant..

“you're right. Gambling is strictly prohibited in the Holy Kingdom as one of the 10 deadly sins..”

“um, that's right.”

I wish there was such a doctrine.

Ulan nodded as if he understood..

Then, after dumping all the remaining meat on the plate into his mouth, he immediately turned around..

“i get it. then let's try.”

afraid to make decisions.

The group immediately headed for the stalls..

“uh, welcome.”

Meanwhile, facing them, Talis greeted the party with a trembling face. However, the awkward expression soon disappeared..

Even though he was a hot topic, the customer was a customer. So, he finished the explanation of the rules with his characteristic friendly smile..

“The participation fee is one coin..”

“Dae, Dae Dong Hwa?!”

Noah suddenly opens his eyes round.

Dillia tilted her head and asked again..

“what, so, surprise?”

“too expensive than i thought.”

“expensive?”

“Of course it's expensive! No, how much does it cost to throw the dice once in the world?…….”

“Ten thousand won?”

Noah hurriedly shut his mouth along with Dillia, who repeatedly questioned him as if wondering..

It was because I realized my mistake.

Maybe it was because he was enjoying the festival and relaxed. So, just as she was shutting her mouth, Laurea pulled out a silver coin..

“I will pay the participation fee.”

“I'm very sorry, but the change…….”

“are you okay. You can throw it ten times..”

I have nowhere to write anyway.

Tallis's face straightened when the loud answer came back. Fearing that Laurea might change his mind, he quickly grabbed a silver coin and said,.

“All right. Then write down the number you expect to come out of the dice..”

Talis hands over a note and a pen.

Upon receiving this, Ulan looked at the pile of products and then stopped..

“But what do you want?”

I was told there was something I wanted, but I was not told what it was. To Ulan's question, the three answered without questioning who came first..

“i like that ring.”

“Also, a ring would be nice, I think.”

“Of course there is only one ring.”

Right after the three answers.

A heavy silence fell in the hall..

“…….”

Soon Noah and Ian's complexion hardened..

Because I intuited a strange atmosphere.

Ulan, on the other hand, tilted his head..

“but there is only one ring.”

As soon as those words were finished, the atmosphere cooled as if cold water had been poured on them..

The three stare at each other.

Could it be that I couldn't stand the cold atmosphere??

Noah and Ian mediate.

“This, let's secure the ring first.!”

“you're right! You can decide later who gets the ring..”

That's true too.

Ulan nodded, and the cold atmosphere softened. Like the two of them said, getting the ring came first..

So I immediately wrote down the numbers..

『18』

To get the Ring of Flash, all dice must be '6'. Recognizing this, Ulan threw the dice without hesitation..

Took! degur!

dice rolling on the table.

the result was a failure.

4was two, and 5 was one. The three girls who were watching this burst into a sigh..

“Alas, I'm sorry. It is not easy to get the highest number..”

Talis also added words of consolation..

With an expression of no regret.

Meanwhile, Noah, who was examining the dice closely around that time, narrowed his eyes..

‘wait, just something…….’

The movement of the dice was strange..

Would you say it moved a little unnaturally? Somehow I felt that way. However, since there was no physical evidence, he could not blindly raise an objection..

“try again.”

“what would you do with the numbers?”

“I will do it like this.”

Ulan still sticking to the number '18'.

Tallis nodded silently and stepped back. At the same time, he kept a wicked sneer inside..

‘throw a hundred days does that come out.’

He was a little intimidated by the fact that he was a strong man who had reached the level of a master, but that didn't change the specially made dice..

just as expected?

The result was bad again.

“Ooh, it's not easy either.”

Ibella bursts into a sigh.

Tallis smiled contentedly..

It was thanks to the conviction that the more he threw the dice, the stronger his victory..

Ulan, on the other hand, picked up the dice again with an expressionless face and threw it into the air..

‘He's a guy who doesn't give up..’

As I burst into laughter with that thought, the dice that were rolling on the drawing table stopped..

and at that moment.

Talis's laughter also stopped..

“……uh?”

A belated, dull voice.

It was because the sides of the dice facing the sky all pointed to '6'. The moment I was speechless over the impossible.

“wow! I succeeded in three!”

Ibella, who saw Ulan's performance, made a fuss with a surprised face. Subsequently, Dillia and Laurea also responded with wonder..

“Ulan is, lucky, good.”

“Now, please give me the ring.”

Laurea reaches for Talis.

But she didn't get what she wanted. It's because Dillia and Ibella got in the way..

“why are you trying to take?”

“That's because I said it first.”

“The order doesn't matter.”

“Because it's important? So, you two, take the spider and rabbit I mentioned at the beginning..”

The three bickering again.

The moment the war of nerves was about to begin, Ulan suddenly opened his mouth..

“get the ring later.”

“yes? why?”

“seven left.”

This is the second time I threw the dice.

So, as Ulan said, there are still seven chances left. So Ulan wrote down the expected number on the note and handed it to him..

『15』

the dice fell at the same time.

The three dice rolled riotously across the floor, pointing exactly at '5' on all sides. Tallis widened her eyes at this sight..

‘no, that's nonsense!’

It's a die made so that the same number never comes out, how the hell does this happen??

Talis was in shock..

Ulan didn't care whether he was shocked or not, and wrote down the next number in a row..

『12』

this time and next time.

The numbers Ulan had predicted were never wrong. Faced with a technique that was close to divine, Talis's face grew more and more blue..

5.

Right after the first dice in hand.

Ulan felt out of place.

‘Each has a different weight.’

It was a very subtle difference, but I couldn't fool him who had maximized senses..

However, Ulan did not take it seriously..

Because I thought that the weight of the dice could be different. So I threw the dice without thinking, and the result came out quickly..

『4, 4, 5』

It was a failure. Ulan's eyebrows twitched..

It was because I felt a new sense of incongruity.

‘just clear…….’

The dice moved unnaturally.

Originally, it was supposed to slow down slowly and then stop exactly where it was, but in an instant, it flipped over to another side once more..

‘what the hell?’

The second challenge came with a question.

Glancing at the dice in his hand, he threw it away as if determined to do something..

Took! degur!

As the dice rolled, Ulan raised his senses to the limit..

and at that moment.

Ulan's realm unfolded.

In the gap of time that only the Master could perceive, he made the sum of the dice to be '18'..

‘It should be like this.’

But again it was a failure.

After collecting the spirit, the dice bounced once again and the number changed. He frowned at the unknown phenomenon..

The third challenge that came before long.

Ulan quickly found a breakthrough.

‘If the dice bounce at will…….’

If you stop doing that, it will stop.

Afterwards, Ulan, who had expanded the area as before and led the desired number to come out, stretched out his finger and pressed the three dice very gently..

hooked! Wooddeuk!

With the sound of the table being slightly crushed, the dice dug into the inside. After this, the dice will no longer move freely..

‘ok, it's solved.’

From then on, it was a breeze.

Ulan spread the domain of the master of the tribe throwing the dice, and the numbers did not miss.

and the result.

Acquired a total of eight prizes, including the Ring of Flash. Most of them were expensive jewelry worth more than one silver coin..

“then i'll take it all.”

“…….”

After looking at the hardened Talis, Ulan packed all the goods and turned around..

some time after that.

A loud scream was heard along with the sound of something falling from where the stall was..

“Hey, someone fell over here.!”

“Hey students! Wake!”

Tallis, who had been stripped of everything, lost consciousness and collapsed. However, this was not something that Ulan and the others were concerned about..

'Cause they've already left.

6.

After sweeping the goods with a silver coin.

Ulan's party returned to the main road. It was to enjoy the festival again since the purpose was accomplished..

But then.

“You know, Ulan..”

“……?”

Noah suddenly spoke.

It was with a curious expression.

“what did you do?”

“what do you mean?”

“It's the dice I just threw..”

Ulan rolled the dice ten times..

The number of correct answers was eight. even in a row. This is a result that cannot be dismissed as a coincidence..

“Well, it was a bit strange.”

“I wrote it in some special way?”

Meanwhile, after Noah's words.

The other party also looked at him curiously. With all eyes focused, Ulan replied in a calm tone..

“toss to get the number you want.”

“that's possible?”

“possible. using the realm.”

“……yes?”

Noah asked blankly..

It's not just her. Ibella, Dillia, and Laurea also looked surprised as if they had heard an unexpected answer..

“that's okay?”

“Well, it doesn't matter if you really mean it. Because there was no condition not to use the realm.”

Laurea shrugged..

As if his curiosity had been quenched and he was no longer interested in the subject. Above all, there was a more important topic for the party..

“Then let's fix it slowly.”

who will take the ring.

As soon as she finished speaking, the atmosphere around her rapidly cooled again. It was the moment when the fight for the ring was about to begin..

then.

“I'm sorry for talking.”

Ian spoke carefully..

with suspicious eyes.

“is that a real ring?”

“……what?”

“It looks a bit small for a ring.”

As Ian said, the ring was much smaller than expected. I tried inserting my fingers into it, but none of them went in..

Is it because my expectations were shattered??

Ibella crumpled her face..

“No, what ring did you make like this?!”

“Wow, I didn't know that it wouldn't fit in my little finger..”

Laurea was clearly disappointed..

Then, a small note fell from the box where the ring was kept..

“huh? This…….”

Is it like a product description??

Noah, who picked up the note with silly thoughts, shared the contents with everyone. There was written this.

【ring of light】

―This mysterious ring that emits a bright light on its own will be the best gift for children who are afraid of dark places.!
