The Academy's Barbarian-Chapter 167
(4)
8.
Aaaaaaang!
Loud roar that shakes the hall.
After a while, when the dust cleared, the knights widened their eyes without anyone saying anything first..
there is only one reason.
It was because of the upside down Ergent..
“……!”
“me, your highness!”
They weren't the only ones surprised.
Noah's eyes have also changed significantly.
It was natural. No matter how threatening he said, Ergent was the monarch of a country..
Besides, if he had done this while his loyal men were watching, the consequences would have been obvious..
“catch him right now!”
Old voices popping up here and there.
Of course I know I won't be your opponent.
To throw the only Master of the Principality upside down meant that the opponent was also a Master..
However, when the lord he devoted his allegiance to was attacked, he could not remain still. Therefore, the knights tried to form a formation and attack..
At that moment.
aaaaaaa!
The bright starlight wrapped around Ulan..
Cluster magic, veil of stars.
There is only one person who can use star magic here. The knights shouted in surprise..
“wow, princess?!”
Dillia blocking Ulan as if protecting it.
In the air around her, numerous magical spells are engraved. If the knights did anything stupid, they were ready to attack..
“Why are you covering him!”
“That guy attacked His Highness the King……!”
They scream in disbelief.
Dillia, on the other hand, didn't even snort. She just looked at the knights with an expressionless face and revealed the reason for stopping them..
“This is for the Lord.”
Ulan is strong.
The strength of the knights was so great that even the tip of a hair could not be touched. So, in order to reduce unnecessary damage, the two were separated..
“So, stay calm.”
If you don't want to get hurt.
Eyes that look like they're talking.
When the knights were in conflict, a sudden strong gust of wind blew up. The remaining dust was lifted, and soon a low voice was heard..
“No need to fuss.”
It was Ergent's voice..
Shaking off the dirt from his face, he spread his palms toward the knights..
means to step back.
The knights faithfully obeyed the order, and Ergent stared at Ulan while warming up..
“were you a master?”
“…….”
“amazing You still look young.”
A twinkle formed in his eyes..
In fact, Ulan and Noah hadn't even bothered him until now. Because they are just outsiders. Also, since I didn't feel any power, I thought it wasn't worth fighting for..
‘But no way…….’
I never thought I was hiding my power.
Of course it's nothing special.
As a Master, hiding an aura is something anyone can do. However, what surprised Ergent was Ulan's age..
A face that has just taken off its youthful tee.
I've never heard of someone reaching the level of a Master at that age. If you look at the records, it's probably unprecedented..
So I asked with a curious face.
“what is the identity?”
“i'm ulan.”
The answer came back in a blunt tone.
He immediately introduced himself.
“A warrior of the plains, a student at Arsene Academy, and a friend of Dillia..”
“friend?”
Ergent's eyes widened..
startled face.
It was a similar reaction to when Ulan invaded his territory. But his surprise was short-lived, and he regained his composure..
“My introduction was late.”
After clearing away thoughts.
He met Ulan's gaze. Then he spoke with a powerful voice..
“I am Ergent Runmond Arpen. The king who rules the principality and Abida of Dillia.”
“I heard you know.”
Ergent's eyebrows twitched..
In general, when you meet your friend's parents, it's only natural that you'll be somewhat polite..
Ulan, on the other hand, was different..
A look that is neither surprised nor agitated. He wrinkled his brow at the overly plain response..
“Is there anything else to say?”
“well, what to say…….”
Ulan was lost in thought.
However, the worry did not last long. As Dillia's friend, he had a certain job to do..
so i said right away.
“give me dilia.”
“what, what?”
“I need Dillia. So let's go back to the academy together.”
A shocking word is scary before it ends.
The surrounding area was enveloped in an atmosphere of desolation in an instant. Ergent, who had a blank expression for a moment, immediately looked at Dillia..
to ask what that means.
But I couldn't get an answer. Right after Ulan finished speaking, Dillia's cheeks turned red and she looked away embarrassedly..
“…….”
I don't need to hear the answer now.
It was because he had grasped the general situation through Dillia's reaction. Ergent let out a short sigh and looked at Ulan again and said,.
“if you don't allow?”
“i don't need your permission.”
“what?”
“this is a notice.”
Finally, with a strong answer.
Ulan took Ergent's gaze head-on. And he went on to speak.
“As long as Dillia chose and decided, you have no power to stop it..”
a rude remark.
Ergent crumpled his face..
“What an arrogant guy.”
Anger formed in his eyes..
The ferocious aura came like a wave, but Ulan did not budge..
Around the time when the confrontation continued for a while.
Suddenly, Ergent nodded..
“Well, since he reached the level of a master at such a young age, he must be full of confidence..”
After becoming a Master, he must have received countless compliments. It was also an achievement to be proud of..
“but you lack something.”
“what is lacking? what is that?”
“experience.”
an answer with strong conviction.
Then Ergent pulled out an axe..
A golden hatchet. A magic weapon that is one of the treasures of the Principality of Arpen..
“An unknown warrior grows in battle that crosses the line of fire. Even if this is the level of a master, it is by no means an exception..”
While saying the obvious.
Ergent's ax aimed at Uhlan.
“So don't let me teach you.”
that experience is more important than power.
Ulan also pulled out his ax while facing his fiercely sparkling eyes. There was no need to talk any longer as long as each had their weapons drawn..
Two men who hit the ground like a flash of light.
The moment each other's territory overlapped, the two poured an onslaught without saying who came first..
quagga gaga gaga!
A fierce shock wave swept through the hall as the axes imbued with auras and spirits collided..
“Keugh! what kind of wind…….”
“step back a bit more!”
Truly a colossal aftermath.
The knights widened their distance even further..
Noah and Dylia were no exception..
As the battlefield was prepared, Ulan and Ergent began to rampage even more madly..
‘More than share the same area…….’
Area strengths are meaningless.
So, from this point on, the victory or defeat is determined by the strength and experience of each master..
Ergent literally overpowered Ulan with his skills on numerous battlefields. No, I tried, but I couldn't.
‘what?’
A strange feeling of incongruity felt in an instant.
I didn't realize this at first.
But after some more time passed, I finally realized what this was..
“……!”
Since the beginning of the battle, until now.
Ulan did not retreat a single step from where he was. It meant that he took all of Ergent's attacks without avoiding them..
‘what is this…….’
It's not just that it's strange.
All kinds of irregular attacks that had been unleashed so far, Uhlan did not think much of it. Even surprise attacks that can't be dealt with without experience are all.
The moment I realized the identity of the sense of incongruity.
Ergent had a hunch.
Even if something goes wrong, it's been wrong for a long time.
Immediately after grasping the situation, he immediately opened up a gap with Ulan..
“I'll ask you one thing.”
“……?”
“How many battlefields have you been through so far??”
Actually the answer is an obvious question.
Being a friend of Dillia means being in the same age as him. Even if I had a chance to go to the battlefield, it would be a number I could count on my hands..
But the answer that came back was different.
“too many to count.”
A word spoken quietly.
Ergent's eyes trembled..
It was because I realized it by looking into Ulan's eyes..
That it's not bluff or lies. Faced with the startling reality, around the time when I put on a blank expression.
“I'll finish it soon.”
Ulan's eyes changed..
Because there was no point in fighting more.
Meanwhile, Ergent, who had awakened from his thoughts, gritted his teeth. Because I realized what the true intention was in that short notification..
“so meekly…….”
I won't get hit.
Ergent tried to say that.
but couldn't.
“……what?”
Because the world suddenly turned upside down.
A loud noise coming soon.
Aaaaaaaang!
It was the sound I heard earlier.
After being knocked upside down on the ground, Ergent's expression was clearly taken aback..
‘what the hell how?’
big shocked face.
I deserved it.
Just now, he was in a state where all his senses were raised to the limit in preparation for battle..
‘Even so…….’
didn't realize.
Ulan coming.
He didn't even notice the whole process of grabbing his face and putting him upside down..
‘like…….’
like master's realm.
But this is nonsense. Because the territories of him and Ulan clearly overlapped..
A question that never gets resolved.
That was then.
“Excuse me..”
A strange voice suddenly heard.
Ergent pulled his head out of the ground..
Then I brushed the dirt off my face and looked at where the voice came from..
“Looks like the fight is over now, can I say something?”
black hair girl.
He was definitely the guy who was with Ulan. Ergent looked at her with her slender eyes..
“you……?”
“I'm Noah, Dillia's friend..”
At the end of a short self-introduction.
Noah smiled..
9.
When the battle between Ulan and Ergent was in full swing.
Unlike Dillia's nervous expression, Noah didn't look worried at all..
‘Ulan would win anyway.’
Undoubtedly, at this point, no one can defeat Ulan in one-on-one combat. So Noah remembered what happened after that rather than the battle..
‘Once we defeat Ergent, we can go back to the academy with Dillia..’
Because the intruder disappears.
However, when thinking of the original Ergent, there is a high possibility that troublesome problems will occur in the future if it goes back like this..
‘In the original story, when Dillia secretly left the kingdom to join the other warriors,…….’
I had a nasty problem.
It was to issue a massive wanted order along with a huge bounty on Dillia. With this in mind, I can roughly imagine what the future will be like..
‘So it can't be like this.’
Also, the Principality of Arpen will be of great help in the future war against the abyss. So it's better to make it as smooth as possible..
By the time I finished my judgment.
“something to say to me?”
Ergent opened his mouth..
Looking at him who wiped the dirt off his face before he knew it, Noah spread his two fingers..
“It's nothing. I'm going to tell you why Dillia has to go to her academy..”
With a smiley face at the end.
her words continued.
“First of all, Dillia needs to learn..”
“learning?”
“Yes, just as experience is important to a master, an archmage needs an opportunity to learn new magic..”
Becoming an archmage does not automatically acquire high level magic..
If you want to learn high magic, you need the associated spell book, and that costs an unimaginably large amount of money..
“But no need to worry. Because Arsene Academy has the best library on the continent, and there are plenty of magic books.!”
So it's perfect for learning magic..
Afterwards, Noah revealed the following reason before Ergent could react..
“Second, there are many talented people in the academy. Even compared to Dillia right now, there are up to seven talented people who will never be pushed behind..”
“so many?”
“yes. Oh, by the way, I am also a 'person who is loved by mana' like Dillia..”
“……what?”
Ergent's eyes widened..
At that time, Dillia, who was by her side, nodded without saying a word. As if Noah's words were true.
“Also, he is a strong Ulando master, but he entered the academy to reach a much higher level than that..”
This time Ulan nodded..
As Noah said, the reason he entered Arsene Academy in the first place was to find clues about the superhuman level..
“Therefore, Dilia also has room for further growth in its current state..”
“…….”
Ergent's eyes wavered..
Eyes with a clear sign of distress. After a while, he turned to Dillia and asked.
“Are all those words true??”
“yes i can swear i have.”
Eyes that do not detect lies.
Ergent closed his mouth tightly..
some time after that.
A soft sigh escaped from his tightly closed mouth. With his face done with his long agony, he looked away..
“Dylia Arpen.”
A dry voice knocking in the ears.
Dillia swallowed dry saliva. As she waited nervously, she soon got an answer..
“I will suspend your duty.”
“……!”
“As for the deadline, it's fine until you've acquired enough knowledge and magic as a great mage..”
wide golden eyes.
Faced with a face that clearly showed a surprised look, Ergent silently spoke out..
“Afterwards, if you promise to return to the principality and fulfill your duties as royalty, I will allow you to attend the academy until you graduate..”
“yes i promise.”
It is a condition that has no reason to refuse.
Since Dillia was also born into a royal family, she had the intention of serving the principality..
“i get it. Then do it.”
With an answer that resolved all conflicts, Ergent turned away as if he had no business..
but for a while.
After walking a few steps, he stopped again..
“Did you say Ulan??”
“exactly.”
“Did you mean what you said to me earlier, asking for Dillia??”
“Of course.”
Immediate answer without any hesitation.
Looking at the unshakable crimson eyes, Ergent nodded. He then said as if he had made a decision..
“good night. Then you too should graduate from the academy and come to the principality. To become Dillia's sire, she needs a proper education..”
After answering on your own.
Ergent turned and headed back to his hometown..
Ulan murmured in a puzzled tone as he watched him get further and further away from the knights..
“what is a sire?”
Is it an abbreviation for enchantment magic??
he tilted his head.
But don't worry. If there's anything you don't know, just ask Noah..
After things are settled.
The next morning, the good news came..
It was news that Dillia's half-sister, Rudine Arpen, had regained consciousness..
