The Academy's Barbarian-Chapter 173
(2)
3.
Right after facing Ulan.
Ibella's head turned white..
Actually, I had something in mind..
why didn't you come.
I wanted to ask why you didn't keep your promise. But as soon as he saw Ulan, he was speechless and no voice came out..
“…….”
there is only one reason.
There is something that surpasses all emotions.
‘I miss you.’
just a nice feeling.
Seeing Ulan again after 15 days, the roaring flames of jealousy and anger quickly disappeared as if it never happened..
Meanwhile around that time.
Ulan opened his eyes wide..
“Ibella.”
Because I found her late.
Soon after, as soon as I met her gaze with the turquoise eyes, I lowered my head without hesitation..
“I'm sorry I couldn't keep my promise.”
“……ah.”
A low-pitched voice tapping in your ears.
Hearing this brought me to my senses..
When Ybela seemed lost, Ulan explained why he couldn't keep his promise to her..
After a not short time has passed.
Ulan's story is over.
Since Noah filled in the lack of explanation in the middle, Ibela was able to understand what Ulan was trying to say without difficulty..
“uhm, so…….”
After a stiff face nodded.
She summarized the long story between Ulan and Noah in one word..
“To sum up, he predicted that Dillia would be in danger and went to rescue him.?”
“Accurate.”
Ulan silently nodding his head.
Soon, Evela's eyes turned to Noah..
‘Noah has foresight.’
The ability to read the future through dreams.
Having actually experienced it in the past, I can easily understand this part and move on..
On the other hand, there were parts I didn't understand..
“But why did ulan…….”
Did you go to rescue Dillia?.
There must have been a way to inform the principality that Dillia was in danger, or it could have been done with the help of Marquis Gorfant, but why bother?.
So when I was frowning.
Ulan's answer is back.
“Yes, Dillia is a precious colleague..”
“dear colleague?”
His fine eyebrows twitched..
It was a response to the word precious.
Ibella, who made a disapproving expression, immediately bit her lip and asked again..
“then what am i?”
“what?”
“What am I to Ulan?.”
Isabella stepping forward.
The distance between the two quickly grew closer. If you come a little closer, you can even feel your breath.
Ulan, on the other hand, did not blink an eye..
Then he answered without hesitation.
“You are also a valuable colleague.”
“……that's all?”
question that came back.
Ulan tried to say yes.
But for a moment I was speechless..
The turquoise eyes, Ibella's eyes seemed sad for some reason. As if I'm about to shed tears right now.
“that…….”
So I swallowed the voice that was about to come out of my mouth. Then, without realizing it, I spat out a word that came out of nowhere instead..
“right now it is.”
“right now……?”
right after hearing that.
Ibella's expression subtly changed..
I had no choice but to.
The answer I just gave could be interpreted as meaning that there is room for change in the relationship in the future..
The moment I realized this.
Surprisingly, I felt somewhat at ease..
At the same time, the stuffiness in my chest was relieved, and I felt much better. The feelings of jealousy that had dominated her mind had alleviated..
“woo woo.”
After barely regaining composure.
She let out a long sigh, regaining her composure. She then looked back at her uhlan.
“I'll ask you one more question.”
“what?”
“If I'm in a dangerous situation, I'll come to the rescue just like Dillia.?”
“Of course.”
An immediate answer without the slightest hesitation.
Unwavering, clear eyes.
It's true. When I realized this, I felt like the lump melted away..
“……okay.”
Calm breathing with deep breathing.
Ibella nodded silently..
“I will understand this and move on.”
“thank you for understanding.”
Ulan bowed his head once again..
Then Ibela's words continued..
“Instead, there is a condition.”
“condition?”
“Please listen to me later.”
“please…….”
“I can't tell you right away, but it's not a difficult request for Ulan..”
Slightly flushed cheeks and earlobes.
Blue-green eyes trembled slightly..
Then, Ulan, who was staring at Ibella, readily gave an answer..
“good night. don't do that.”
Because I was the one who broke my promise first.
So, if this made me feel better, I was willing to do a favor. I didn't know the contents, but I said it wasn't a difficult request..
“ok, that's okay.”
Ibella also looked satisfied..
The pale smile that bloomed on his lips was proof.
By the time the conversation ends.
growl!
I heard a familiar noise.
It was a sound from Ulan's ship..
“Ahaha, Ulan is still the same.”
A loud, clear sound.
Ibella burst into laughter..
Turning around, she immediately crossed arms with Ulan and smiled..
“Shall we have a meal together after a long time??”
“good idea.”
An offer with no reason to refuse.
Ulan's eyes sparkled..
The moment I was about to head to the restaurant.
“wait a minute!”
There was someone who stopped them both..
It was Noah. At the sudden restraint, Evela asked the reason with her eyes, and Noah replied with an awkward smile..
“Hey, Dillia hasn't come yet.…….”
“you don't need him.”
An answer as cold as ice came back.
Scattering her cold eyes, she revealed the reason she didn't need Dillia..
“Whatever the reason, he and Ulan must have been together all vacation.?”
“that, but that…….”
“So today it's my turn.”
never give up.
Flashing eyes full of determination, Ybela held Ulan's arm tightly..
A tough attitude different from before.
When Evela came out this strong, Noah couldn't even ask to wait any longer..
“Come on, let's go.”
Ybela pulling Ulan's arm.
Since it was impossible to send the two of them alone, Noah followed Ulan to the restaurant..
Is it because it's a bit ambiguous time??
Unlike during the semester, the cafeteria was quite quiet..
So, just as I was about to go inside without hesitation, someone suddenly approached me. Then he stretched out his hand and covered Ulan's eyes..
“who is it?”
“……!”
At the same time, Evela's eyes widened..
there is only one reason.
‘what? at some point…….’
It's because I didn't notice the signs.
I couldn't even hear the opponent's footsteps.
If she didn't feel any signs of progress from intermediate to advanced knights, it would mean that she was stronger than Ibella..
Meanwhile, there was no agitation in Uhlan..
Unlike Ibella, he always had the master's territory open, he had already noticed signs approaching this way..
Even so, the reason why he allowed access was because it was a voice in his memory. So, just as I was about to answer the voice's question,.
Soon my eyes brightened again.
The bright voice that followed.
“Hee hee, I was kidding..”
pure white hair.
Red eyes like a rabbit.
Overall, the neatly dressed girl spoke with a bright smile..
“Did I tell you last time? I have been attending Arsene Academy since the fall semester..”
A clear tone that taps your ears.
This girl exuding a mysterious atmosphere is one of the warriors who fought against the abyss with Ulan in her past life..
It was Pertisia..
“So please take good care of me in the future.!”
she smiles brightly.
On the other hand, there were also those who could not laugh at all..
“…….”
It was Ibella.
The moment he realized that the one who had approached and covered Ulan's eyes was a woman, right after realizing that it was also a very beautiful girl..
‘what is this again?’
With her eyes as if she were saying that, Ibella's face crumpled. Then, the fire lit up again in the blue-green eyes..
4.
Private rooms in the student cafeteria.
In a space filled with desolate silence, Noah sighed silently..
I had no choice but to.
Originally, I planned to just have a simple meal, but things didn't work out that way..
“…….”
Ulan perusing the menu.
Pertisia smiling brightly.
Even Ibella, who opened her eyes with an axe, and Dillia, who frowned upon joining belatedly..
For Noah, who knew everything about each other's relationship, it wouldn't be strange even if he acted immediately..
‘I'm really going back.’
Feeling like walking on thin ice just by being in the same place as the four. Besides, for some reason, even my chest felt stuffy..
‘i just want to go back.’
a tired face.
Noah sighed over and over again..
then.
“well then once…….”
Perticia pursed her lips..
A clear voice like a rolling jade ball.
Ibella and Dillia's wary eyes turned to her. At the same time, Pertisha spoke her words with her sweet smile..
“Should I introduce myself??”
No, it looks like that now?!
Noah wanted to ask. However, the introduction of Perticia took a step forward..
“My name is Tisha Lapidis and I have been attending Arsene Academy since the fall semester..”
“hmm? Tisha Lapidis?”
“yes I was assigned to Class 2 of Year 1..”
she smiles brightly.
Ulan, on the other hand, tilted his head. She must be because she used her pseudonym, not her real name..
‘Yes, of course.’
Perticia is the hidden princess of the empire.
If his identity is discovered, it will attract attention in many ways, so it is reasonable to use a pseudonym..
In addition, I guessed why I was assigned to Class 2..
Perhaps it was to fill the void left by Himmel Deorg dropping out..
Meanwhile, after Pertisia's introduction,.
Ibella opened her eyes wide, as if she had realized something belatedly..
“Wait a minute, if it's Lapidis…….”
“It's a marquis family from the eastern part of the empire..”
with a straight answer.
The blue-green eyes became even bigger..
It was because there was a person who came to mind as soon as I heard the word of the Marquis of Lapidis..
‘Limer Yen Rapidis.’
The Five Swords of the Empire and the Lightsaber of the East.
A swordsman who reached the level of master for the first time on the continent as a woman. That's why she was also a person that Bella admired..
‘then…….’
It is understandable that you hid your presence earlier..
The Lapidis family is a prestigious swordsman.).
Born and raised there, to the extent of being transferred to Arsene Academy, of course he must have excellent skills corresponding to that..
soon after realizing this.
His sense of selflessness as a prosecutor was ignited..
A desire to share a sword with a girl from the family of a strong man he respects. Whether she knew it or not, Pertisha pursed her lips..
“Ulan-sama and Noah-sama were introduced the other day, so if you listen to the introductions of the two…….”
“……you.”
At that moment.
Dillia, who had been quiet until now, narrowed her eyes. she asked in a voice full of alertness, like a cat with her fur bristling..
“What's up with Ulan??”
“We're not in any relationship yet.”
“yet?”
“Well, if I had to explain it, I'd have to say we met on the street..”
All we had was a few words of conversation.
Perhaps thinking this was a ridiculous excuse, Ybela snorted. Dillia, on the other hand, just bit her lip..
‘truth.’
There was no lie in Pertisia's words..
The white light flowing from the body was the evidence..
Meanwhile, Perticia, who finished her answer, looked at Ibella and continued talking..
“By the way, I've seen that one too..”
“what? me? when?”
“Of course, I never said hello in person, but I remember seeing Ulan-sama eating hotcakes at a cafe in the capital..”
“……!”
The capital's cafe, hot cakes.
The moment I heard those two words, the briefly forgotten memories came alive like wildfire..
The first time you went out on a date with Ulan.
There was a time when he lost his sight for a while at the cafe. Remembering her then, Bella opened her eyes wide as if she recognized Pertisha only then..
“Oh, maybe then……!”
“I seem to remember now.”
Perticia smiled happily..
After the story was over, Ybela and Dillia reluctantly finished their self-introductions. Then he summarized the information about Perticia..
To sum it up, it's nothing special..
After we met on the street, we said all we had was a few words of conversation..
‘but…….’
I can't be careless.
It was because Perticia's appearance was unusual to put her mind at ease. That's why she looked at her notice as if she was wary.
“Oh right!”
The bright red eyes turned round.
As if I remembered something I forgot.
Afterwards, Perticia looked back at Ulan and suddenly took something out of her arms..
“do you remember this?”
“that…….”
A wooden statue in the form of an owl.
It was a rather crude material, but the moment I encountered it, my memory came back..
When I met Perticia at the night market.
And it was given as a gift when I won a prize with her help..
“It's the statue I gave you..”
“that's right! You gave it as a gift. It was the first gift I ever received, so I cherish it..”
Pertisia smiles happily.
Conversely, Evela and Dillia's faces turned cold like ice..
It was a natural reaction.
To the two of them, it must have looked like they were showing off a gift from Ulan..
‘but that's not it.’
Perticia has no malice.
I have no intention of checking Ibela and Dillia, and I can see that I don't think of Ulan as a member of the opposite sex even if I observe a little bit of his eyes right now..
‘I just don't notice.’
The Seven Heroes of the Arsene Continental War.
Each hero has a 'symbol'.
For example, uhlan can be said to be brave enough to face any fear..
Ibela has unbreakable pride, Dillia has upright conviction, and so on..
‘and Pertishia…….’
untainted purity.
To the extent that the word bird in a cage suits her, Perticia has met as few as ten people from the moment she was born until now..
Of course I can't help but notice.
‘If you think about your original personality, just meeting new people is good in itself..’
At least that is until the penalty that exists for Perticia is manifested..
When Noah finished his guess.
Suddenly the dining room door burst open..
Seeing the identity of the next visitor, Ibella and Dillia widened their eyes..
“Marquis Gorfant?”
“What happened here…….”
Theoric Al Gorfant.
Ulan, meanwhile, muttered as if he had guessed the reason for his visit..
“Looks like the punishment came out.”
“No, that's still under discussion.”
“hmm? Then why are you here?”
“That transfer student has business.”
After answering, he turned around..
Then he spoke to Pertishia..
“Tisha Lapidis, the dean is looking for you.”
“Oh, right. I was supposed to meet you?”
“okay. I have something urgent to tell you ahead of the school opening ceremony, so hurry up and follow me..”
“yes I'll do that.”
She got up from her seat.
Perticia bowed her head respectfully while facing Ulan and the others..
“Then I will excuse myself. If we meet again later, please pretend to know everyone!”
After waving my hand with a lively face.
Perticia followed Seoric and left the restaurant. After a while, Ibella and Dillia muttered blankly..
“what the hell are you doing?”
A personality that can't be grasped at all.
I just realized one thing.
‘You can't leave Ulan by his side.’
Two pairs of eyes flashed..
If you look at it coldly, you can see that Ulan doesn't have a rational crush right now. But I can't guarantee he won't be interested in the future..
The two girls experienced.
Ulan's charm is endless.
The moment I realized this.
Turquoise eyes and golden eyes intertwined once in the air. Afterwards, the two nodded their heads without saying who was first..
Even though there was not even a word of conversation, it was a moment when each other's intentions were clearly conveyed..
and the next morning.
In the auditorium that has been renovated, the opening ceremony to announce the start of the new semester has begun..
