The Academy's Barbarian-Chapter 16

(1)

1.

Ulan's Last Skill Test.

The magic detection test was conducted outdoors..

Ulan, who was looking around the large amphitheater, headed towards the other students. And he got all eyes on him this time too.

However, unlike during the great scuffle, most of them showed interest and curiosity. Few people were seen wary of him..

‘Looks like the overseers haven't come yet.’

10 minutes left until the start of the test.

So I decided to wait patiently. After that, the moment I looked around the test site as if I was watching.

His gaze was fixed on one spot..

Unlike other students huddled together, a girl who sits alone. Ulan narrowed the corners of her eyes thinly..

‘that guy······.’

rich silver hair.

Golden eyes sparkling quietly. A figure with a beautiful appearance like a sculpture. That's why a girl who exudes a stronger presence than anyone else.

Ulan knows who she is.

‘Dylia Arpen.’

Mixture of human and fairy.

The fifth princess of the Principality of Arpen.

Mage Loved by Mana.

There were countless names for girls, but this was by far the most famous..

‘star witch.’

The strongest wizard who can drop meteors.

Dillia was one of the seven warriors, and was so powerful that she was among the top three wizards on the continent at the time..

The second companion I found after Ibela, the swordswoman. But this time she wasn't too surprised. Dillia, she used to say that she was from the Arsene Academy..

‘I was still small at this time.’

They are obviously the same age as Ulan..

But just looking at his face, he looks much younger than Noah. Enough to believe that you have just gotten out of childishness.

Did you feel Ulan's gaze at that time??

Suddenly, Dillia looked back at him..

“······.”

Interest in golden eyes.

But that was only for a moment.

Dillia quickly took her eyes off.

Even his taciturn personality is not much different from when I saw him in his past life. Feeling nostalgic for some reason, Ulan laughed silently..

At that moment.

Supervisors showed up.

all over!

number is seven.

It seems likely that several assistant supervisors were also included. The exam hall soon became quiet. As I was looking at them, I suddenly met eyes with a man..

A middle-aged man with a handsome mustache.

Presumed to be the proctor, he wrinkled his face as soon as he met Ulan's eyes..

Fierce hostility in your eyes.

It was a cold, blatant gaze, as if looking at something disgusting. Feeling this, Ulan suddenly remembered Noah's words..

「Professor Direk will probably try to drop Uhlan somehow. So you're saying they're going to use all sorts of methods to give it an F grade..」

When I first heard it, I thought it was out of the blue.

But as soon as I saw the supervisor's eyes, I had a hunch that maybe it was true..

I don't know why in detail.

Because the hostility in your eyes is certain.

As I silently recalled the advice I had heard from Noah, a familiar voice tapped my ear..

“······deflin?”

It was Dillia's voice..

A wave of emotion arose on his face, which had been expressionless throughout. surprise and bewilderment. What the hell are you looking at? Ulan looked in the direction she was looking..

There is another girl there.

The girl waved at Dillia, her apricot-colored hair waving. At that moment, Dillia's expression hardened..

aww!

Dillia biting her lip.

Surprise and bewilderment soon turned to anger..

Looking at the reaction, it seems like we know each other.

to the not-so-good side. Just when I was thinking that, the supervisor stepped up to the podium. It was the same man who showed hostility to Ulan..

“Professor of Magic Faculty, Director Ormine. I served as the superintendent of this <Magic Detection> test..”

A brief self-introduction.

Just looking at the way he spoke, I could feel that he was strict..

Afterwards, Direk introduced the assistant supervisors who had come with him one by one, and finally pointed to the girl with apricot-colored hair..

This is the girl who waved her hand earlier.

“And those over here are from the Faculty of Magic who came to observe this exam.······.”

“I'm just an ordinary spectator.”

Then the girl cut off Direk..

With a sigh to be quiet. It was a bit rude, but Direk immediately shut up. Without showing any dislike.

“Big! Then I will explain the content of the test. This special test is divided into three parts..”

first. A test to verify how quickly you can recognize the flow of magical power and find the core of magic that makes up the center of the flow..

second. A test in which a mana core is found in an enchanted medium, and then a mana reaction is performed to perform a set task..

third. A test to recover as many magic cores as possible against multiple magic golems after pairing up in pairs..

Each of these tests was aimed at examining the quality and application of magic detection, as well as cooperation and delicate manipulation of magic..

“The score for each test ranges from 0 to 5 points. 5 points for first place, 0 points for last place. The rest will be distributed according to each grade..”

There will be many duplicates for other scores, but 0 and 5 points mean that only one each is given to the last and first place..

“Please note that students who have scored 0 points even once and those who have taken the test with a total score of 5 or less will be confirmed as F grade. If a student gets a perfect score of 15, I will give him an S grade..”

After explaining the score.

The assistant overseers whimpered and came with something. A marble the size of a watermelon. He is the one who measures the amount of magical power possessed by magicians..

“Before starting the test, I will first start verifying my horsepower. It's a job to find out your capabilities, so I ask for your cooperation..”

Director closed his mouth for a moment.

He spoke with a serious face..

“Oh, by the way, if there is anyone whose magical power reserve is measured as less than '100', I will immediately give it an F grade, so let's know that..”

After Direk's words, laughter erupted from all sides. It was the same for the assistant supervisors, and for Diflin, who was by his side..

“Ahaha! See you again, Professor Direc. I heard you're the most boring guy in the department, but I never thought you'd make a joke like this..”

I could have laughed.

Having less than 100 magical powers meant that he wasn't even a wizard. So I thought it was all a joke and laughed.

Ulan, on the other hand, couldn't laugh..

‘Just like Noah said..’

I don't know why, but Professor Direk is determined to drop Ulan. Otherwise, there would be no reason to do this verification..

Ulan is in trouble.

I thought about using spirits for a moment, but the mana used by warriors and the mana used by magicians are clearly different in nature..

As a professor at the Faculty of Magic, there's no way he wouldn't be able to tell them apart. So he was thinking about what to do.

‘huh? wait for a sec. This······.’

eyes widened slightly.

After a while, Ulan gently stroked his stomach. Because he found something he never intended, where he least expected it..

He soon made his eyes shine like stars..

As if you found a way to break through the difficulties.

2.

some time after that.

Horsepower measurement went smoothly.

“Loxent Charair. 825 hp.”

“Kashan Alekhine. 680 hp.”

The amount of mana possessed by the test takers written on the blackboard. Direk, who looked at this silently, immediately turned his gaze to Ulan..

‘Definitely not going to end it with this.’

He is a warrior from a barbarian tribe..

There is no magic, let alone magic. I'm sure it's the information Count Dermore told me..

Direc smiled contemptuously..

While imagining the enormous research funds he would receive from the Count. As Ulan's turn approached,.

“D, Dilia Arpen. 2,885 hp!”

The assistant supervisor who was measuring magic power shouted with a startled face. With him, all eyes were on Dillia..

Direc was the same..

I deserved it.

Just looking at the simple amount of horsepower, it reached three times the highest horsepower figure ever measured..

“Huhu, you are my disciple after all.”

Then Dipplin smirked and laughed..

Apparently, the old student she was talking about was that girl. Please don't touch Dillia. Direk promised so.

how long has it been like that?

The target is finally approaching.

Ulan Bator. Seeing him appear with thumping footsteps, Dipplin put on a funny expression..

“It's like a warrior, not a wizard.?”

That's because the warrior is right.

Direk, who groaned inwardly, looked at Ulan. He then spoke as if warning.

“Just in case, the magical power of the warriors is basically undetectable..”

So if you have vain hopes, give up.

I tried to say this, but Ulan surprisingly did not show much agitation. I guess I gave up. Direc laughed bitterly..

“Put your hand on the marble.”

Ulan obediently obeying instructions.

The results came out quickly. But why did the assistant superintendent's expression look so confused?.

‘Well, I'll do just that.’

It must have come out that you don't have any magical power..

I was about to tell them to announce the results quickly since it's not an error, but the assistant supervisor spoke first..

“Ulaanbaatar, 100 hp.”

“······what?”

Director's expression turned blank..

what did you just say?

100horsepower? not 0 horsepower?

When I couldn't speak as if I was embarrassed, the exam hall was buzzing once again. It was the same reaction as when Dillia's results were announced..

“what? Only one hundred horsepower?”

“That guy is really a wizard?”

“Why is there only that magical power??”

I was just surprised in a slightly different way..

In the flood of questions pouring in, some students raised objections..

“Wait a minute, it's not a dropout?”

“that's right! If it's less than 100 horsepower, it's F grade.?”

“no, that's not it.”

“A hundred horsepower is not less.”

with students' conversations.

Direc's face was grotesquely wrinkled..

‘shit! damn!’

If I had known it would be like this, I would have said less than less than less. I never thought I'd blow up my chance with the wrong choice of words.

No, more than that, how on earth do you have magical powers?! obviously not a wizard!

When Direc couldn't get out of the mess.

Dipplin, who had been silent, narrowed his eyes. Afterwards, she gazed at Ulan's back as he returned to his original seat..

“You are an odd student. It is common for mages to store mana in their hearts, but I never thought they would store it in their small intestines..”

In addition, there was something special about.

The pot of mana, which never moves once it settles in the heart, somehow feels as if it is slowly going down.

Also, at first glance, the fact that the area around the abdomen was dyed blue seemed unusual..

‘one more last.’

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Ulan detected two mana bowls instead of one. Although it was as small as a glass bead,.

“Huhu, it looks like there's one more freshman to keep an eye on besides Lia..”

Dipplin's eyes curved like crescent moons..

Like discovering a new toy.

After a not short time has passed.

All test takers' magical power verification has been completed..

And Direc, too, narrowly escaped the chaos. Barely suppressing his rising anger, he climbed back up on the podium and opened his mouth..

“······Then I will start the test now.”

although this time it failed.

I'll definitely drop it next time!

Direc's eyes shone with determination. Knowing this or not, Ulan just quietly listened to her..

Thus, the curtain on the test has risen.

3.

with the start of the test.

The assistant overseers whimpered and brought over the large boxes. There are thousands of marbles inside. Each one of them has a tiny amount of mana..

“The first test fits perfectly with the term 《magic detection》. First of all, you are given one hundred marbles each..”

As soon as the director's words.

A hundred marbles stuck to the wall. at fairly wide intervals. He pointed at the wall and continued his explanation..

“Each orb contains 10 magic power. However, there is only one orb containing 15 horsepower. Find it and break it. that's all for this exam.”

Immediately after a brief explanation.

The atmosphere in the exam hall darkened. The perplexing look on the faces of the students taking the exam.

If the test is to find a magical marble among ordinary marbles and break it, then it's not that difficult..

‘But it's quite difficult to find an orb that differs only in the amount of magic power..’

Even a difference of only 5 horsepower.

To perceive this, one must have some degree of talent in reading the flow of magical power. Or a student who has been taking magic detection lectures consistently.

In other words, it means that it is not the difficulty that will come out of the test-takers. Since Direkdo knew him well, he made one condition..

“Of course, I am aware that the test is at a higher level than your skills. So let's add one special condition.”

after a moment of silence.

Direc put on a benevolent smile..

“Even if you break another marble that is not the correct answer, no points will be deducted. The purpose of this test is to find and destroy the target as quickly as possible..”

This meant leaving out all other factors and only looking at the time to find and destroy the target..

The complexion of the students brightened at once..

Because I had to do this.

But his words aren't over yet.

“However, the use of any tools is prohibited in this test. The same goes for wands and spellbooks. And if the body touches the marble, the candidate will be given an F grade immediately..”

“······.”

The students' expressions became subtle..

No tools and no physical contact meant breaking the marbles only with magic..

Nonetheless, the balance has been struck.

By the time the candidates understood the content of the test, Direk glared at Ulan again..

‘this is the real end.’

Ulan is a warrior. A warrior who cannot break marbles without using a weapon or body. And even if I could use magic, it didn't matter..

‘Nigga only got 100 horsepower.’

Even the 'magic arrow', which consumes the least mana among attack magic, consumes 50 mana per use..

So, the best thing Ulan can do is to properly read the flow of magic power, find the exact target, and destroy it..

But Ulan can't.

‘That guy's marbles are special.’

The hundred magic orbs to be given to Ulan are all imbued with 'same' magic..

In other words, no matter what he does, just treat it as a wrong answer..

‘Tired of being together, let's never see each other again.’

Go back to the meadow, you barbarian.

Direc laughed sinisterly..

Meanwhile, around that time, the exams for the candidates were going smoothly. Most of the test takers achieve their goals in 3 minutes or less. In the meantime, a result that caught the attention of many.

“Dillia Arpen. 24 seconds!”

Again, it was Dillia..

From reading the flow of magical power to finding and destroying foreign objects. It took less than 30 seconds. 5 times faster than other students.

“He is also the disciple I raised..”

Dipplin laughed out loud again..

Direc nodded as if agreeing. That's because Dilia's skills were real..

and finally.

Ulan came forward.

An eccentric who possesses minimal magical powers as a magician despite applying for a magic specialty field. It was natural that everyone's eyes were focused on him..

Tuduk! patter!

Beads cling to the wall as if they were waiting.

Ulan glared at it with an expressionless face..

Then I immediately frowned..

‘I don't know either.’

I know that beads contain magical powers.

but i don't know what's different.

To Ulan, they are all identical marbles. I couldn't tell them apart even if I concentrated on it, frowned and glared at it..

‘I can't help it.’

have to use that method.

When Ulan's eyes sank low.

The Assistant Superintendent has spoken.

“10Start the test in seconds.”

I was told to prepare in advance..

Ulan nodded. He catches his breath, then pushes his right foot all the way back and clenches his fists with his torso slightly tilted..

“huh? what are you doing?”

“No matter how I look at it, I'm ready to swing my fist?”

“ah, please Then you're out.”

“In the first place, the fist itself wouldn't reach at that distance.?”

The distance between the uhlan and the marbles is about eight steps..

I can't reach it even if I stretch out my feet.

The moment the students' curiosity was amplified, the assistant supervisor announced the start of the exam..

“start!”

at the same time.

Ulan stretched out his fist..

Huung!

with the sound that crosses the wind.

The space was distorted in an instant..

what kind of magic is that?

The moment the students’ eyes widened, suddenly a noisy ear tapped..

waaaaaang!

It was the sound of beads breaking..

There was no need to find out which marbles had been broken. All the marbles attached to the wall were scattered as fragments and powder..

everything without leaving a single thing.
