The Academy's Barbarian-Chapter 155
(2)
3.
immediately after leaving the border.
On the road to the Principality of Arpen, Noah recalled what had happened just a few hours ago..
From the fact that the self-defense given to Dillia was used, the hero's trial was partially failed. Then, everything, even the fact that there were about three days left.
just one thing.
There was a part that bothered me.
‘……partial failure.’
It was not an unfamiliar phenomenon.
Because it happened often in the original work..
This is a phenomenon that occurs with an extremely low probability, but it usually occurs when the ordeal is interrupted by the interference of others..
‘but…….’
The problem is that the target is Dillia..
Because in the original story, Laurea and Sven were the only heroes who had partial failures..
After understanding all the.
Noah told Ulan the truth..
Ulan, who had heard everything from there, said this without hesitation..
「Go to the Principality of Arpen.」
It was a natural decision.
Noah also respected Ulan's decision, so the two moved to the southeast border area, not Arsene Academy..
to save Dillia..
“Noah.”
“yes?”
“how much is left?”
One word to ask how much time is left.
Noah glanced at the watch on his wrist..
“Two days and nineteen hours..”
“I must hurry too.”
“that's right. The sooner the better.”
It took about two days from the border of the Empire to the Duchy of Arpen at the earliest. The distance is short, but the terrain is rough..
‘but then it's too late.’
The purpose of Ulan and Noah is not simply to reach the Principality of Arpen..
The real purpose is to eliminate all obstacles that hinder Dillia and help her pass the ordeal again..
‘therefore…….’
Like I just said, the sooner the better..
The sooner you arrive, the more time you have to spend elsewhere..
When I was finishing my thoughts.
Noah's eyes widened..
“……uh?”
the reason was simple.
It's because Ulan suddenly hugged his waist..
Noah asked back in bewilderment at the momentary power that was so strong that it took his breath away..
“Ooh, what about Ulan? Why all of a sudden…….”
“to hurry.”
“yes?”
what does this have to do with that?
Noah had a puzzled look on his face..
Then I opened my eyes. It was because he lifted himself up and suddenly strode towards the cliff..
wheeeeing!
A canyon where strong winds blow.
When I saw the bottom of the cliff, I felt a sense of dizziness. While speechless at this sight, Noah's complexion suddenly turned pale..
It's because Ulan realized what he was up to..
“Now, wait! you, please…….”
“is the correct answer.”
“I haven't said anything yet?!”
I shouted with an absurd face, but no answer came back. Ulan clamped Noah to her side and responded with action..
“……!”
At that moment, Noah remembered.
The time when I left the meadow and crossed the snowy mountain in the past.
The bizarre thing he did.
“hold tight.”
“no, wait! hey! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
Uhlan's behavior hasn't changed at all.
The moment I felt déjà vu, I felt like my body was floating in the air. Then Noah's scream reverberated through the canyon..
4.
a dark world.
For a moment I thought night had come, but it wasn't. It was because when I blinked, the surrounding scenery became blurry..
“ugh…….”
right after waking up.
A groan came out reflexively..
because my head was pounding. Dillia, the little girl who frowned at her, looked around her..
“Where are you??”
Enduring intermittent headaches.
She regained her composure. It was to bring back her memories before she passed out..
Summer Vacation at Arsene Academy.
During the vacation of about 15 days, Dillia returned to the principality. For the hospital visit of her half-brother, Ludine, who was imprisoned by the king's order..
After arriving in the principality.
She headed to the south of the royal castle.
Before going to the hospital, the purpose was to pick flowers that Rudine liked..
‘valley of meteors.’
This place is famous as a colony of star flowers that twinkle like stars in the night sky. After that, when I was choosing only the brightest flowers.
A thick fog enveloped the surroundings..
At that moment, Dillia had a hunch. That something extraordinary has happened.
‘It was the same as back then.’
The Abyssal Cultist Assault Incident.
A phenomenon similar to the time when fog was covered by forbidden magic. In addition, the escort unit that was close by disappeared without a trace..
‘I was lost on the road like that…….’
Unidentified remains found.
Ruins never seen before.
Normally, I would have been wary, but Dillia's choice was different. Feeling a strange pull, I stepped into her ruins..
‘and…….’
A mysterious world welcomed her.
A world that sparkles as if the starlight shining from the sky has descended to the ground. As I was walking in a dreamy atmosphere, a dead end appeared.
A huge door blocking the way.
There were these words written.
『Heir of Einer.』
『I ask you.』
『Where does the magic of the stars come from??』
ancient elf characters.
When I reflexively gave an answer to a question out of the blue, the tightly closed door opened by itself..
The road that reappeared soon after.
As she walked along, another door with a question written on it blocked Dillia's path..
repetition of questions and answers that suddenly began.
It was easy at first. The difficulty of the question itself was not difficult. However, the problem became more and more difficult, and the time to think about it was getting longer..
then.
A new surprise overtook her..
‘……attack.’
An unidentified group dressed in gray.
Enemies who suddenly appeared suddenly attacked Dillia. Among them, the masked swordsman was the most threatening..
Because I almost ran away from the sword attack that hid my presence..
‘but…….’
narrowly saved his life.
It was because he tore the amulet he received from Noah right after he first became aware of the attack..
self-defense).
The magic that was activated automatically defended her from all attacks. Thanks to this, Dillia got a chance to figure out her situation and activate her magic..
‘I'll have to say thanks when I get back.’
If it wasn't for the talisman Noah gave me, maybe Dillia wouldn't be in the world by now..
After breathing a sigh of relief.
she continued to reminisce.
After the activation of the self-defense.
Dillia raised her magical power and prepared her magic in an instant. It was to prepare for the next raid and to attack the assailants..
And the opponent, too, trimmed the display in order to cut off Dillia's breath. The moment when an armed conflict was about to break out.
A thick fog separated the two sides..
After a while, the scenery changed. After that, as the opponent's presence disappeared, a sudden drowsiness came..
‘that's right. Then I fell.’
This is all of the memories.
After the flashback, she opened her closed eyes. She then looked around her with her eyes much calmer..
‘This place…….’
It was a different place than before..
If in the past it was a space full of light and filled with a dreamy atmosphere, now it is a dark, gloomy and foggy place..
and one more.
There were notable features.
‘It's like a maze.’
high barriers surrounding.
When I looked around using the Eye of the Beholder, such barriers stretched endlessly..
Just like a labyrinth.
At the same time, feeling uneasy for some reason, Dillia wrapped her shoulders anxiously..
‘……I want to get out of here.’
Normally, I would have wondered where this place is and what it really is, but not this time..
Dillia went straight ahead..
It was to find an exit out of this maze in order to drive away the uncomfortable feeling. So she disappeared, swallowed up in her thick fog.
5.
After jumping down the steep cliff.
Ulan repeated forced marches.
He freely crossed the canyon, and the mountains near the border, which were reputed to be rough, were not enough to stop him..
and the result.
The Ulan party accomplished the feat of crossing the border of the Principality of Arpen before dawn..
“It's right in front of you now.”
A proud smile blooms on your lips.
I deserved it.
It was an achievement achieved with Noah, whose stamina was depleted after just 30 minutes of walking,.
The reason this was possible is simple..
This is thanks to the fact that he carried Noah on his back like a burden ever since he jumped off the cliff. Of course, Noah's condition was not very good..
“Ooh, Ulan…….”
pale blue face.
With a dying voice, Noah cried and pleaded.
“……Can't we take a little break?”
“The reason is?”
“I think I'll die if I go on like this.”
this was never bullshit.
Normally, it takes more than two days from the border of the Empire to the Principality of Arpen..
‘On the other hand, Ulan…….’
shortened it to five hours..
superhuman strength and body.
It was the result of mobilizing all the stamina that did not get tired due to the effect of the hero's imprint. Meanwhile, Ulan asked with a puzzled face..
“Said I had to hurry?”
“I was hasty enough.”
Is it because of repeated requests??
Noah set foot on the ground in the full five hours since he was lifted off the cliff like a load..
a break for a while.
The two filled their stomachs with water and food from the Imperial border guards..
“Oh right.”
Then, Noah opened his eyes wide. As if she remembered something she had forgotten.
“Come to think of it, I knew where the hero's ordeal was going.?”
“Of course.”
Ulan readily replied.
Because I heard it from Dillia in my past life.
And that's not all. She knew why she was brought to her warrior's ordeal..
‘He said that he got caught up in the hero's ordeal while picking his brother's favorite flower..’
Valley of Falling Stars.
A place commonly known as the 'Valley of Meteors'.
After reminiscing, Ulan confessed all of this, and Noah sighed in relief..
“Phew, fortunately, that's exactly what I remember. Then, have you heard about the ordeal??”
“don't know that.”
Aside from the foregoing, all Ulan heard was that he had passed the ordeal over three days..
I haven't heard what happened in the hero's trial. This was not only Dillia, but all other warriors as well..
‘I'm not even curious.’
It must have been an ordeal of the type of fighting and defeating a monster anyway. Ulan was convinced.
Did you read his thoughts??
Noah said as if.
“Oh, just in case, it's a completely different kind of ordeal than Ulan went through..”
“okay? how different?”
“Ulan's ordeal was all about winning against increasingly powerful monsters.?”
Accurate. Ulan nodded..
As Noah said, he faced numerous monsters for a week in the Trial of the Warrior, and passed the ordeal with confidence..
‘So I thought everyone would be the same.’
Looking at the reaction, it seems that is not the case again..
Ulan listened to her words, and soon the answer he had been waiting for came back..
“Of course, from the point of view of breaking through the difficulties, it is not very different. But Dillia has to deal with problems instead of monsters..”
“it's a problem?”
“Yes, a question about star magic..”
Each hero's ordeal has its own concept.
For example, uhlans fight).
It is an ordeal where the objective is to achieve victory against all kinds of monsters encountered..
“Same with other warriors..”
Ian Eun Suho).
Laurea is purification.
The goal is to protect the sanctuary that exists at the center of each ordeal or purify the contaminated sanctuary, and all trials have a time limit..
“So, Dillia's ordeal…….”
“magic. It is an ordeal whose purpose is to unravel an academic inquiry into the magic of the stars that has existed since the beginning of time..”
After answering, Noah remembered the original story..
In the Trial of the Hero, Dillia faces a total of 99 problems. After solving all the problems, the owner of the ordeal will appear..
‘arc reach.’
Exactly the same as Dillia, a mage-level Arch Lich using star cluster magic.
And here comes the problem.
Lich is quite strong.
The turning point of Dillia's death is also a variable that occurs in the battle with this lich..
‘but it's okay this time.’
Blue eyes shone with confidence..
After absorbing some of the source left by the ruler of the swamp, Dillia is stronger than the original..
The chance of dying would be much lower..
‘but the problem is…….’
Developments not in the original.
This is the case of 'partial failure'..
Immediately after recalling this, Noah got out of his thoughts and immediately got up from his seat..
“let's move again.”
“Is it okay if I don't rest a little more?”
“yes, that's enough.”
My wobbly legs have also calmed down quite a bit..
With that answer ending the break, the two of them moved toward their final destination..
Where Dillia Is Isolated.
The place where the warrior's trial takes place.
Directly towards the valley of meteors.
