The Academy's Barbarian-Chapter 188
(6)
11.
After the athletic meet finals.
The awards ceremony started soon..
As a reward for winning, as I heard from Professor Miel earlier, a small scholarship, permission to go out and stay out, and immunity were given..
“……I will finish the sports day with this.”
The three-day Arsene Sports Festival came to an end with a speech by Berger Erkazan, Dean of the Military Faculty..
and that night.
A party was held in the central square.
It was an after-party organized by the department for the students who participated in the sports day..
“Oh, senior! come here!”
“we have reserved!”
A lively atmosphere like a festival day.
Regardless of the win or loss of the athletic meet, everyone got along and had a pleasant conversation. Of course, that wasn't the case with all.
“Hey, let's just go somewhere else.”
“that's right. It's a bit like sitting on the floor like a commoner.”
“It's funny to hang out with them..”
Students were divided into two.
nobles and commoners.
Even at the after-party, the sky-blue haired girl, who had been watching the polarization intensify, let out a deep sigh..
“It's a very sad sight.”
Representative of the winning team, Iris Senior.
She let out a series of sighs and muttered with a confused expression..
“They don't fit together in a place like this. I don't feel comfortable that the student council is taking the lead in promoting such discrimination..”
“I'll be fine now though.”
Then there was a voice that interrupted.
The barbarian who served as the deputy representative of the winning team, Ulan.
Watching the wall divided by class, he pursed his lips with an expressionless face..
“because you said you'd change.”
“you're right. It should be. Regardless of class or status, as long as you are at Arsene Academy, all students are the same..”
Iris made up her mind once again..
It was a determination to launch a new student council and root out discrimination and bad habits prevalent within the academy..
“Election activities will probably begin in earnest after the fall semester field trip ends..”
“Right.”
“Me, that's what I mean.”
Iris with long horsetail.
After hesitating for a moment, she glanced at Ulan with rather nervous eyes. As if you have something you want to say.
“If you have something to say, say it.”
“Ah yes!”
As Ulan urged him to answer, Iris continued with a powerful voice..
“Like I said the other day, is it okay if I ask for your cooperation??”
“Of course.”
“I really?”
“yeah i promised.”
Is it because of the cool answer??
Her tense expression straightened in an instant, and Iris smiled bashfully..
“thank you Thanks to you, I feel better.”
A smile of relief spreads across your lips.
Just as we were looking at each other, I heard a voice looking for Iris from afar..
“Iris! you were here.”
girl with purple hair.
It was Iris' best friend, Camilla Tanesia..
He is also a person who belonged to the same class as Ulan in this sports day..
“why? I have something to do?”
“Eh, it wasn't anything else, other kids asked where you had gone, so I just came to find you..”
After roughly answering.
Camilla looked back and forth between Iris and Ulan, then suddenly smiled strangely..
“If you're having an important conversation, let's talk about it. I'll tell the kids.”
“are you okay. I've said everything.”
Iris, on the other hand, shook her head..
We have also received a promise to cooperate with the election campaign, so there is nothing more to talk about..
“Then I will excuse myself. I hope Ulan cadets have a good party too.”
Iris bowing her head.
After a polite greeting, she quickly disappeared with Camilla. She turned around as if she had waited for Ulan, who was left alone..
A place I had been looking at long before I started talking to Iris. It was toward the table where all kinds of delicacies were piled up like a mountain..
12.
Meanwhile around that time.
At a party with a lively atmosphere, there was a place wrapped in an especially awkward silence..
“…….”
three girls facing each other.
Isabella, Dillia, and Pertisia.
The three of them, somehow gathered together, glanced at each other with their mouths closed without speaking. When such a lonely time continued.
“Big! hum hum!”
Isabella broke the silence first.
After a while, she opened her mouth as she looked at the white-haired girl, Perticia, who was sitting quietly..
“The last time I heard it, the name must be…….”
“My name is Tisha Lapidis..”
Pertisia proudly reveals her pseudonym.
Is it because of the smiling face??
I feel more comfortable talking to you. So, after shaking off her tension, I got to the point..
“Can I ask you just one question?”
“Yes, it's just fine. Actually, I also wanted to ask you something..”
“uh? to both of us?”
“Actually, I've been curious about something for a long time. Since you spoke first, let's exchange questions and answers in turn..”
“ok, okay.”
After nodding with a bewildered face.
Ibella cleared her throat. Then she floated her luck with a rather serious face..
“It happened in a defense battle earlier.…….”
What she wanted to ask was about an incident that occurred during the first defense battle, which was incomprehensible to common sense..
Then, Dillia also looked at Perticia with a curious face. She said that she was also curious about the fact..
“Oh, that's a simple question..”
After the explanation of all the details.
Perticia smiled brightly. Then she replied in her tone that she didn't care too much..
“Actually, I have a special ability..”
“special ability?”
“yeah, i can't tell you.”
“……what?”
Ibella frowned..
Because anyone can answer this.
So, it was not a serious answer, it felt like a joke, so the moment I lost my temper, Pertisia's answer continued..
“Because this ability is a family secret, I only tell people I'm really close to. I'll tell you later when I get to know you better.”
“…….”
I was speechless at the words that came back..
I heard that it was a family secret, but it was rude to keep asking.
“Then it's my turn to ask?”
“ok, that's true…….”
Ibella let out a low moan..
I wanted to ask more questions like a chimney, but I couldn't bear it, so I slurred my words..
some time after that.
She let out a resigned sigh..
“haha, i get it I'm curious about what?”
“Are you dating Ulan??”
“Pooh! what, what, what?!”
Am I surprised by the unexpected question??
She squirts out the water Ibella drank..
A look of embarrassment.
On the other hand, Dillia's reaction was different. she asked with a relatively calm expression..
“Suddenly, why, ask?”
“I'm just curious.”
smiley face.
No emotions or true intentions could be read from the only smile on her face. However, the smoke flowing from Perticia is white..
That means it's not a lie.
However, I couldn't understand the intent behind the question. As Dillia's eyes narrowed at this, she hesitated, and Bella pursed her lips..
“Dating, dating, not yet…….”
“yes? I beg your pardon?”
“of course! It's not that I don't hate Ulan, but I still want to progress the relationship step by step, step by step? huh! okay.”
Ibella, flustered and gibberish.
It is a reaction that has not been able to resolve the confused feeling. Conversely, Dillia still opened her mouth with a calm face..
“maybe sooner or later it will.”
“yes? what does that mean?”
“Me and Ulan are, soon, dating, between.”
“what? Really?”
“huh. really.”
Dillia nods her expressionless face.
Meanwhile, as soon as the words were finished, Ibella was out of the confusion at once. Then he immediately responded with a furious face..
“for a moment! you, whoever you like……!”
“this summer vacation.”
Immediately after Ibela's words,.
Dillia stared into her turquoise eyes and confessed what happened during vacation..
“Dear Ulan, I like you. I confessed.”
“……uh?”
trembling eyes as if bewildered.
The first time I heard it, I wanted to scream, “Don’t joke,” but I couldn’t..
Unlike the fluctuating pupils of his own, the golden pupils shining in front of his eyes did not shake like a calm lake..
“So, I'm the most powerful.”
It's a confession. For an instant, along with the feeling of sinking my heart, a sense of impatience and defeat slowly crept up for some reason..
“…….”
At the same time, a fire soared inside..
A roaring flame of jealousy. So, just as she bit her lips together without saying a word, Pertisha asked again with her face at the bottom of her curiosity..
“Then what did Ulan answer??”
“I still haven't heard the answer.”
“huh? why?”
“Now, more, important, work, because.”
to thwart the menace of the abyss.
Her eyes shone with a sense of mission, along with the truth she realized while undergoing the hero's ordeal..
“So, one day, when everything is over, then go, ask for an answer, I said.”
She answers with a serious face.
On the other hand, Perticia had an expression of leaking steam. Then he shrugged her shoulders..
“ah what is it.”
“what?”
“Then it's just nothing..”
“……nothing, nothing, nothing.”
“no. If you just confess and don't hear the answer, then you're not in a relationship, right?.”
“that…….”
A word that pierces like an awl.
However, if she backed off like this, it would be like accepting Perticia's words, so Dillia immediately prepared a counterattack..
“That, but, when I was in the principality, I put my face stamp on my father, so we can see that we are special..”
“joy! that's me too.”
A counterattack that came back from an unexpected place then.
It was Ybela who kindled the flames of jealousy in the corner. Through the conversation between Pertisha and Dilia, she figured out what she was doing and faced it without losing..
Starting with this, the two bicker.
Meanwhile, Pertisia, who could be said to be the culprit behind all the commotion, overheard their conversation from a distance..
‘Hmmm, that's right. she was like that.’
It was because I finally realized.
Ulan and I aren't really dating. To be precise, it was all that the two of them had one-sided feelings for Ulan..
‘So in summary…….’
In other words, Ulan's relationship with women is not promiscuous at all. With her new realization, Pertisha smiled shyly..
‘I got some misunderstanding.’
Belatedly realizing the truth, Perticia hummed a song. She didn't know why, but it was because she suddenly felt better..
A face that smiles again.
Back when I was smiling brightly at Ybela and Dillia, who were still bickering..
“was everyone here?”
“ah, ulan!”
The person at the center of every conversation and incident.
Ulan appeared. I was with Noah, a girl with black hair as soft as silk..
“No matter how much I searched, I couldn't find it..”
“Have you ever been with Noah??”
“no! We met by chance!”
Noah shakes his head quickly..
She instinctively sensed the strange atmosphere hovering between Ibella and Dillia, and quickly explained the situation..
“He was eating alone in the corner, so I brought him here..”
“oh, that was it?”
Ibella's complexion brightened..
After avoiding a situation that could have been a source of misunderstanding, the atmosphere surrounding the party quickly changed..
More friendly atmosphere than before.
It's just that uhlans have been added, so I didn't expect it to be this different. Pertisha blinked her eyes curiously and she looked at them..
some time after that.
Not a short time passed, and the party atmosphere was gradually ripening..
Suddenly, a loud voice came from the barracks set up next to the plaza..
“iced coffee! Announced by the Steering Committee.”
“About 10 minutes from now, at 9:00 PM, a campfire event will be held at the main square of the academy..”
The two men and women who relayed at the sports day.
It is the voice of Adelin and Million..
The two used a voice amplification device to send a notification throughout the party..
“This campfire is one of the long traditions of Arsene Academy..”
“If you throw a piece of paper with a wish written on it into the fire and make another wish before it turns to ashes, no matter what! They say wishes come true!”
Adelin screams in a heated voice..
Of course, it's close to superstition.
Most of the students didn't care and focused on the party they enjoyed..
‘Well, there can be no fooling people.’
Noah laughed too..
However, unlike the general reaction, there were also those who showed particular interest..
“wish…….”
“unconditional, made up of?”
Ibella and Dillia.
At the word that wishes come true, the two's attention turned to the campfire at once..
Ulan, on the other hand, reacted indifferently..
Until you hear the back story.
“In addition, don't miss out on our special grilled pork, a fantastic dish that can only be tasted near the campfire..”
“let's go right away.”
“huh!”
Uhlan instantly kicks off the ground.
Ibella and Dillia also followed him towards the campfire as if they had been waiting..
Seeing this scene, Noah had an absurd expression on his face, but soon he smiled and moved on..
and that time.
In addition to the academy's campfire, there was a place where huge flames soared. A terrible place where corpses are stacked with firewood to light the embers.
It was the imperial castle of the Ruben Empire..
