The Barbarian of the Academy - Chapter 193

8.
The story of the beginning of the warrior's ordeal.
Noah froze on his feet at this sudden announcement. But even for a moment, she regained her composure and hurriedly reconfirmed the contents of the notice..
[alarm]
▶The Trial of the Hero - The Beginning of the Challenge
▶Challenger: [Pertisia Ib Al Ruben]
I'm sure you'll see it again.
Eyes flickering like candlelight. A look of bewilderment was evident on Noah's face when she opened her eyes..
‘why?!’
That's right.
This is because Perticia is the last among the seven warriors to challenge the hero's ordeal..
On the other hand, only Ulan and Dillia are the only heroes who have passed the ordeal. It is said that Perticia's turn is over 10 years away..
That means the time has come.
that too much.
‘Let's think calmly.’
Since the ordeal has already begun, there is no way to reverse it. So Noah recalled the information about the trials Perticia was challenging..
‘First of all, from the trigger condition of the ordeal.’
For the ordeal that Perticia challenges to activate, one specific condition must be met..
Direct contact with the abyss.
Because her trials are held in the depths of the abyss. And coincidentally, there exists a place highly related to the abyss..
‘……fountain of magic.’
The passage itself between this world and the abyss.
Come to think of it, even when I was guiding Perticia around the school last time, she tried to enter the magic fountain without any hesitation..
Although it was canceled due to Rimmer's restraint,.
‘In any case, the activation condition is met..’
If he entered the fountain of magical power without being stopped by anyone, from that moment on, the conditions for triggering the ordeal would have been satisfied..
After letting out a heavy sigh.
Noah continued his thoughts over and over again.
‘Each hero's trial has a concept.’
Ulan is the bravery of defeating monsters (勇猛)).
Dillia inherits the knowledge of the stars and understands magic more deeply.).
‘and Pertishia…….’
hatching).
The goal is to break the shell and come out into the wider world by passing the trials of the special 'spirit' that has been trapped in the abyss since the beginning..
It is an ordeal that becomes an opportunity for Perticia, who has been confined in the imperial castle for a long time, to recognize the nature of the outside world and awaken as a warrior..
‘Well, it's okay until here.’
The purpose of the ordeal itself is simple and clear, and the level of difficulty is not particularly difficult compared to the trials of other warriors..
‘but the problem is…….’
Elements present in every Trial of the Champion.
It is the ‘point of death’. There is, of course, a fork in death in the Ordeal of Perticia..
‘to face trials alone.’
If Perticia faces the ordeal by herself, she has a hundred percent chance of failing..
Afterwards, Perticia is swallowed up in the darkness of the abyss, and the number of warriors is reduced from seven to six..
‘On the other hand…….’
On the other hand, if you go through the ordeal with someone else, your chances of success increase enormously..
This means that in order to avoid Perticia's death fork, one or more warriors must go through the ordeal with her..
‘wait, then maybe……!’
By the time I thought about it.
Something suddenly crossed my mind.
Opening his eyes wide, Noah immediately got out of his thoughts and looked at the silver-haired girl..
“dilia!”
“uh?”
“Maybe you can find out where Perticia is with the star's eye.?”
As soon as the name Perticia was mentioned, Dillia immediately frowned. It was with an expression of disapproval.
“……he why?”
“It has to do with Ulan..”
“I'll find out right now.”
Attitude changed when Ulan was mentioned.
Dillia used her star pupils without hesitation and began to search all over the academy..
how long has it been like that?
After concentrating on the search for a while, Dillia's complexion gradually darkened. After a while, she murmured in confusion..
“Strange. I can't see him either.”
Pertisia also disappeared like Ulan.
Shortly after hearing this.
Noah's eyes twinkled like stars..
‘Then too…….’
Ulan and Pertisia are likely to be together. The proof was that neither could catch even a trace in the eyes of the stars..
A sense of relief when the speculation is over.
It was natural. If Ulan, not anyone else, is by your side, you can easily destroy it beyond avoiding the death fork..
‘I wonder how they got into the ordeal together, but we'll hear about that later.’
this solved the problem.
Noah thought so.
However, this is only her opinion. There was a separate 'real problem' that Noah hadn't thought of..
“……Noah.”
A voice as cold as ice.
Ibella and Dillia opened their mouths right away, scattering cold eyes that would make your hamstrings tingle just by looking at them..
“No way, I'm asking, I'm asking…….”
“Ulan and him, they're together now?”
“uh, uh uh?”
Noah with a confused expression.
soon she realized.
I was distracted by the hero's ordeal, so I forgot about the two for a while. So I quickly erased my puzzled expression and asked again..
“that's why……?”
“Answer the question first.”
pressure on the shoulder.
I wanted to look around, but I couldn't. Even if this Bella is second only to her, she has an intellect that distinguishes lies from truth in Dillia..
“……maybe?”
An answer with an affirmative meaning.
At that moment, the eyes of the two girls burned as if they had been poured with oil. At this reaction, Noah unknowingly swallowed dry saliva..
‘screwed up!’
To this she prayed earnestly..
Before the flames of jealousy and obsession consume the two girls, I hope that Ulan and Perticia will pass the ordeal and return as soon as possible..
9.
Meanwhile at that time.
Noah was not the only one thinking about the hero's ordeal. Ulan, who was lying on the water, had similar thoughts..
‘what an ordeal.’
Nothing else came to mind except that it was being played over the abyss. Still, as she continued to think about it, a forgotten memory came to her mind..
‘Oh, I see…….’
The moment the Trial of Perticia started.
Laurea, who was close to her, was caught up in the hero's ordeal together. And it came back after two full days had passed..
‘Maybe it was from then.’
The fact that Laurea and Perticia became particularly close.
So I asked what happened inside, but I couldn't clear my doubts. Because I don't remember either of them..
Anyway, this was all I could remember about Perticia's ordeal. By the time she finished her thoughts and collected her mind,.
With a sudden snapping sound, I saw the sight of Perticia going ashore..
“Whoa, it's nice and nice.”
As she stretched, she lightly squeezed her wet skirt. Water drops fell and a warm wind blew from somewhere..
After a while, Perticia's body turned into a dry, as if it had been wet at some point. She is probably thanks to the help of her spirits..
“Then I'll just go.”
“hmm? where?”
“Of course it's over there.”
Pertisia, which refers to District 5.
At that, Ulan also came ashore..
At his actions, Pertisia narrowed her eyes..
“Are you thinking of stopping?”
“no, i'm following you.”
“huh? why?”
“because i'm worried about you.”
“……!”
Eyes that changed like a surprised rabbit.
Ulan, on the other hand, met her eyes with a serious face. It was because she realized why Pertisha was heading to District 5..
‘It must mean that the hero's ordeal has come earlier..’
The time itself was different from the past life.
But I wasn't particularly upset. Just like how the abyss worshipers invaded Dillia's ordeal, it must mean that something happened again this time..
‘So I can't let him go alone.’
Perticia's combat power is insignificant.
No matter how much you fight with the help of spirits, your chances of winning are infinitely slim if you run into the Abyss' kin..
So Ulan decided to follow her just in case. Meanwhile, Pertisia smiled at Ulan's answer..
“great. I'll gladly give it to you.”
“hmm? permission?”
“That's right, my article later…….”
“article?”
“Hmmm! it's nothing.”
Pertisia quickly turns her words around.
She smiled shyly and said.
“I'll tell you when the time comes.”
It was a bit odd, but I didn't really care. She used to be so erratic often in her past life..
“Then shall we go?”
“okay.”
right after nodding.
The two soon headed towards District 5..
how far did you walk?
As I was passing through the foggy Second District, an unexpected problem stood in my way..
[This is a controlled area.]
[recommend going back.]
A giant magical golem.
It was Sam's guardian. Facing this, Ulan muttered as if he had just remembered it..
“……I forgot this.”
Fountain of Magic, Golem guarding each area.
It was destroyed and forgotten during the Abyssal Rift incident, but it seems to have been restored during summer vacation..
“Wow, that's huge! what?”
“it's a golem.”
“Ah, this is a golem. I saw it for the first time!”
Like a child discovering a strange toy, Pertisia's eyes are shining brightly..
Meanwhile, as the two showed no sign of returning despite repeated warnings, the golems' eyes turned from blue to red..
[Finally, a warning. go back.]
[I'll go into battle soon.]
ready to attack at any moment.
I can't help it more than this I have no choice but to break in. Ulan, who made that decision, pulled out his ax when something unexpected happened..
[Warning, Horsepower, Shortage…….]
[goes into standby.]
At the same time as the strong wind blew, the golems collapsed as they were. Afterwards, when the wind died down, Per Tisha smiled at her stare into the air..
“thank you, thanks to you.”
The sight of talking to the spirits.
Ulan realized the identity of the incident.
“Right. Did you absorb the magic??”
“omg! uh, how do you know?”
“Because I'm used to it.”
Using the spirits to steal the opponent's magic is a scene I've often seen in my past life. In response, Pertisha narrowed her eyes and asked again..
“……It's true that you can't see the real spirit?”
“can't see.”
“Ooh, suspicious…….”
She continues to question.
Ulan, on the other hand, had no intention of joining..
“let's go.”
“Oh, let's go together.!”
Perticia hurriedly followed..
Some time after that, the two passed through a place full of fog and entered a dark land..
Fountain of Power, District 3.
No light was visible, but there was no particular problem in specifying the direction. Around the time when I was striding with my animal senses.
“me, ulan?”
“why?”
“I just called because I was curious..”
Suddenly, Perticia spoke up..
Wacky guy. Ulan smiled and took her steps again. But by the time she had walked a few steps, she heard her voice again..
“Ulan, you're there, right??”
“If you're anxious, hold my hand.”
“no. that's kinda…….”
A hesitant reaction for some reason.
Frustrated, Ulan grabbed his hand without waiting for permission. Then Perticia was startled and shook his hand..
“If this is the case, it is difficult!”
“why?”
“……I'm asking because I really don't know?”
“I'm asking because I don't know.”
“Oh, brother, no, my uncle says that if you hold hands with a member of the opposite sex, you will have a child.…….”
what is this again.
Ulan frowned..
“you got something wrong.”
“yes? Really?”
“You can't have children like that.”
I can understand her ignorance..
Ever since I was born, I've been stuck in the imperial castle, so of course I have to. But I had no idea that this kind of person was also an outsider..
Meanwhile, Perticia had a surprised face..
Ulan's firm yet confident answer made me feel like my common sense had collapsed..
but that's for a while.
she asked with a curious face.
“Then how do I get it?”
“If you just hit it, it will happen on its own.”
“do you fuck? What?”
“of course…….”
The moment I tried to explain more bluntly.
Suddenly, a strong wind blew, drowning out Ulan's voice..
Even if I try to answer again.
“huh? guys, why?”
Seeing Perticia looking around in bewilderment, it was presumed to be the work of a spirit..
Perhaps not wanting to elaborate, Ulan nodded silently. as if to follow your will.
Then the wind quickly died down.
It seems to have been the correct answer. Ulan then roughly finished his answer..
“You'll find out when you grow up.”
“what. Not long after the age difference.”
Pertishia pouting her lips.
But even then, I couldn't hold your hand..
“……that's really good?”
“it's okay.”
“i can promise?”
“Yes, I swear by the warrior's name.”
A voice full of sincerity.
did you notice this? Pertisha then reached out her hand cautiously with a relieved face..
After holding hands with Ulan,.
she smiled broadly.
“hehe, much better.”
As I moved while holding my hand, my pace quickly picked up speed. After a while, after passing through the 3rd area, the entrance to the 4th area appeared..
Where he killed Deflin in the past.
Ulan pursed his lips..
“Be careful here.”
“huh? why?”
“That's right, if you use even a little bit of mana, a runaway will happen right away..”
So I can't even expand the area.
Of course, it's possible to deal with spirits because it's not magic, but other powers. Still, it was forbidden to be vigilant, so he spared no warning..
but no answer.
What's going on? Ulan called her name again with her puzzled face..
“perticia?”
but still no response.
So, just as he was about to pull the hand he had held onto, his face suddenly hardened like a stone..
“……!”
Because at some point, I realized that I wasn't holding hands with Perticia. Ulan looked around her in bewilderment..
“at some point…….”
When did you let go?
And why didn't I notice it?
All sorts of doubts swirled around me..
However, the time to worry did not last long. Right now, rather than finding out why this happened, finding Perticia was the urgent priority..
and at that moment.
Suddenly, a pure white light exploded..
“ugh!”
A group of lights so bright that it blinds you.
Ulan reflexively closed his eyes. After a while, when the burst of light died down, I opened my eyes again, and soon the crimson eyes widened..
“This place……?”
It is because the scenery has changed in an instant..
Not in District 4, but a green forest full of life. Ulan just blinked in a daze at this strange change..
