The Academy's Barbarian-Chapter 209

4.
“I was honestly surprised.”
“Both of you are so wonderful for the first time wearing magic armor..”
after a considerable amount of time.
Ulan and Dillia successfully completed the inspection of the magic armor. Is that why? The engineers praised the two until their mouths drool..
“well, now…….”
“There's only one last test left.”
Soon after, the moment the reason for all the praise was revealed, Ulan asked curiously..
“do you still have more?”
“You said it was the last time before.”
Dillia also frowned..
At first, it was said as if it was only a marginal output test, but it was because the words kept changing. Then the engineers answered with awkward faces..
“As you said, the official test item is the last test you just did..”
“that is…….”
“Aside from the official inspections, there is one thing I'd like to test out..”
with a serious face.
Engineers explained.
“content is simple.”
“As you may already know, the magical armor of the two of you has a magic circuit suitable for knights and wizards, respectively..”
“So, I want to find out if a magic explosion occurs when you try to contact with magic and aura activated respectively..”
“……?”
Didn't you say it was simple??
Ulan frowned..
Because I didn't understand at all what you were talking about. Dillia, on the other hand, immediately grasped the content and purpose of the test..
‘magic collision experiment.’
In general, the magical powers used by wizards and the auras of knights are similar, but they are famous for their powers with opposite properties..
So, when the two forces collide in an active state, a powerful magical explosion occurs..
This is how an explosion occurs when magic is cut with a sword wrapped in aura..
“did you understand what i meant?”
“yes, to put it simply…….”
Dillia, who organized her thoughts for a moment, explained it so easily that even Ulan could understand it..
“uhm, i understand.”
After a while, Ulan nodded..
As if the question had been resolved. Then, she grabbed the two-handed ax that was lying on the floor..
“It means we can fight from now on..”
“……uh?”
“good. Let's fight right away.”
Did I really understand you correctly??
When Dillia asked blankly, the engineers who were watching the situation hurriedly shouted,.
“wait a minute!”
“It doesn't sound like a fight!”
“How can you understand the explanation just now to such an absurd conclusion??!”
Engineers screaming.
Ulan replied confidently..
“Contacting with magic and aura activated means fighting, right??”
“ok, that's…….”
“T, that's not wrong.”
Rather, a test through sparring would be able to obtain much more meaningful data. But engineers didn't want to do that..
there is only one reason.
Because of Ulan's strength.
An ignorant power enough to blow away the famous magic barrier with a single blow. If Dillia's magic armor gets hit with that much power,?
‘unconditionally broken.’
No matter how hard the magic armor is, it's not as hard as the magic barrier. So beyond breaking, it might even be torn to shreds.
‘if so…….’
Dillia is likely to be hurt too..
Of course, there are various buffers and safety devices for the wearer, but the power of uhlans is beyond common sense..
So the engineers shook their heads.
“Uh, never a fight anyway!”
“Just by putting magic and aura on each of their fists and making contact, you can tell whether or not a magical explosion will occur..”
“Oh, there was a way.”
Desperate efforts have paid off.
Ulan, who miraculously understood the words, put the two-handed ax on the floor. Engineers breathed a sigh of relief at this sight..
“For reference, the fist is just an example and all other parts must be touched..”
“why?”
“That's right, since the magic circuits are all different for each part of the magic armor, there is a possibility that the magic explosion may occur in parts other than the fist..”
After the brief explanation.
Engineers moved to their seats.
“Then we will proceed with the test!”
Sorcerer's Last Test.
Soon Ulan and Dillia's magic armor faced each other. The two activated their respective powers, no matter who came first..
ugh ugh!
3The spirit of the castle and the magic of the stars.
At the manifestation of mighty power, the surrounding atmosphere vibrated thinly. Eventually, when all preparations were finished.
“……Ulan.”
Suddenly, Dillia spoke up..
“There's something I want to test, you can try?”
“Of course. what kind of beggar?”
“Then stay still.”
do nothing.
At her request, Ulan nodded and remained immobile. Then Dillia slowly moved her steps towards Ulan..
Eventually, after reaching the nose.
Dillia spread her arms wide and carefully tried to hug Ulan. Ulan tilted her head at her sudden action..
“dilia?”
“stay still.”
Finally a firm answer.
The two magic armors were in perfect contact..
At that moment, two forces of opposite nature met, and a violent vibration soon occurred..
abnormal magical response.
Engineers who noticed this got busy.
“Abnormalities in the chest and shoulder area.”
“The arms and legs are a bit strange, but not to the point of a magical explosion..”
“other than that…….”
Fortunately, the reaction was not violent enough to cause a magical explosion. Meanwhile, Ulan suddenly opened his eyes wide..
As if I realized it belatedly.
‘Right. this way…….’
In other words, all parts except for the rear part of the magic armor are in contact. Ulan honestly admired Dylia's efficient action..
But there were some strange things.
Even though all the objectives have been achieved, Dillia seldom thinks of falling. So when I was about to take the first step.
“……not yet.”
With a muttered whisper, Dillia hugged Ulan even tighter..
“this isn't enough.”
After completing the unknown answer.
Dillia burrowed into her arms even more, as if she didn't want to be separated from Ulan. Then from a distance I saw this Bella rampaging her way..
‘so or not.’
But I didn't really know.
The only thing that matters now is being able to embrace Ulan in the name of testing. Dillia extended her senses as far as she could with her eyes closed..
Thumping vibrations and sounds.
Does it come from Ulan's heart? Or is it an anomaly caused by a magical response? Whatever it was, it was fine with her..
“Hi-Hi.”
A faint smile that slowly blooms.
Even though I was equipped with magic armor, it was because I felt like I was connected with Ulan, and I felt better..
But the happiness didn't last long.
“Dillia Cadet!”
“The front end has been confirmed! Now please contact the rear part.”
request to change position.
I didn't want to leave, but I couldn't help it since the justification was gone. That's how she fell from Ulan's arms.
“dilia.”
Ulan has spoken.
It was with quite serious eyes.
“There is one thing I want to try too, can you help me if you don't mind??”
“of course. What?”
Dillia nods willingly.
At the same time, Ulan remembered his past life..
It is a memory of the time before the final battle with the giant king, Largtan, when he fought while running away from the trap he had dug..
At that time, the seven warriors stole and rode an animal called 'Mucan' that the giants raised, and it looked like an ostrich on the outside..
‘Of course, it was much bigger than the ostrich, but.’
Anyway, probably because of fighting while riding the Mukan for a considerable period of time, Ulan felt that his senses were assimilated with the Mukan as time went on..
Later, when I risked my life to break through the trap.
Although it was only for a moment, Ulan felt as if he had become one with Mukan. Feels like Mukan's legs became your own.
and at that moment.
Something unexpected has happened.
‘area was widened.’
5A master with the spirit of the castle.
At that time, the territory of the uhlan reached ninety-nine paces. However, the moment the disaster occurred, his territory almost doubled..
‘I didn't understand it at the time…….’
Now I guessed why.
It must be because the realm of ninety-nine steps was spread based on Mukan's stride, not Ulan's..
‘Of course not sure.’
so i wanted to try it.
The stride while wearing magic armor is as wide as that of Mukan..
‘and…….’
one more. I had something to check.
Right after he realized that his territory had expanded while riding the Mukan in his last life, he saw the realm beyond the Master for the first time..
‘If the situation at that time was reproduced, wouldn't it be possible to witness the state of a superman??’
based on these thoughts.
Ulan conveyed to Dillia what to ask for..
“After moving to the place where the magic barrier is, pour attack magic at me..”
The reason why I set the destination as the sorcery barrier is because, based on the standard of the sorcery armor's stride, it was forty-five steps..
Meanwhile, at Ulan's sudden request, Dillia asked in surprise..
“what? attack magic?”
“okay. as strong as possible.”
Ulan nodded.
On the other hand, she looked confused..
As if I don't know why I'm asking this all of a sudden. When Dillia hesitated, Ulan added an answer in a tone that said it was not a big deal..
“Okay. trust me.”
“……Okay, I get it. be careful.”
There were many things I wanted to ask, but I decided not to ask. Ulan is not one to ask for a favor like this without any reason..
After accepting Ulan's request for cooperation.
Dillia strode toward the destination Ulan pointed out, the sorcery barrier. Engineers reacted bewildered to this spectacle..
“what? where are you going?”
“huh? I'm going to the magic barrier.?”
“why?”
“well. But since you're a student in Dillia, I wonder if you've got something planned.?”
Unlike Ulan, who caused problems such as breaking the magic barrier, Dillia has cooperated with the test without any accidents..
Maybe that's why?
Engineers watched Dillia's back with eyes full of trust..
But after a while, it didn't take long before the trust was shattered..
Right after Dillia arrives at her destination.
This is because the magical power in the air suddenly fluctuated violently..
“……uh?”
The complexion of engineers has changed.
The moment you put on an expression that soon realized something.
Dozens of star cluster magic spells were engraved around her..
“……!”
“D, Cadet Dillia?!”
“what do you do now!”
Engineers who figured out the situation belatedly tried to dissuade Dillia, but it was too late..
The moment they realized the situation, Dillia had already injected magic into the spell..
“Whoa.”
Meanwhile, Ulan repeated deep breathing, awakening the senses throughout his body. Then, she spreads her spirit throughout the magic armor and starts circulation..
and remembered.
The time when I glimpsed the state of a superman.
‘There are two conditions for reproduction.’
The first condition is to go beyond the given limits and recognize a much wider area than originally..
The second is an environment where life and death intersect..
When these conditions are satisfied, it is confirmed that the realm of a superman exists..
‘So I asked Dillia.’
Among all the people currently in the plume workshop, the only one strong enough to drive Ulan to death is the archmage, Dillia..
and just in time.
The prepared magic has been activated..
“Up, it's dangerous! uhlan cadet!”
“avoid into a corner!”
Engineers hurriedly shouted.
No matter how much a Master is, it is dangerous to collide with magic of that scale. Even if I cut down the magic, I'll be caught in the explosion.
However, Ulan did not avoid.
Just fixing the two-handed ax.
some time after that.
Dillia's magic rained down like a bombardment..
quagga gaga gaga!
A whopping 7-star cluster magic.
The moment a magic powerful enough to blow up the entire workshop arrived right in front of his nose, Ulan was seized by a familiar memory..
‘death.’
A limb with no place to escape).
Faced with powerful magic that threatened his life, Ulan plunged himself into a life-and-death pit..
thud! thump thump! thud!
My heart races and I feel the blood rushing through my whole body. As if trying to find a way out by lighting the fire of life.
‘…….’
and at that moment.
The wandering thoughts disappeared from Ulan's eyes..
Furthermore, I forgot the fact that I was wearing sorcery armor at all, beyond the fact that I was sharing my senses with the sorcerer's armor..
Thus, a step forward (一步)).
As time froze and slowed down, the magic that reached right in front of me was fixed as if it were stuck in the air. The moment I cut my teeth and moved forward.
The scenery in front of my eyes has changed.
‘……!’
Not only that.
The field of vision in front of his eyes, the senses of his entire body, and the entire world around him expanded as if they were expanding..
The next step forward (second step)).
This has definitely increased the area..
As soon as I broke through the given limit, a tingling sensation wrapped around my whole body..
The moment I took the final step.
Finally reached the border of the realm.
Soon Ulan opened his eyes. It's because I discovered something beyond the boundary of forty-five steps..
The scenery I saw in my past life.
‘realm of superman!’
I immediately reached out without hesitation.
The ultimate in martial arts. Because the realm beyond Master was right in front of me. However, to begin with, Ulan could not head there..
‘body…….’
because it didn't move.
Just as Dillia's magic was stuck in the air, Ulan's body was swallowed up in the realm and couldn't move. He did the same no matter how hard he tried..
Close enough to follow with your eyes, but far from reaching. Looking at the scenery beyond the unreachable realm, Ulan guessed the reason..
‘I guess you don't deserve it.’
The minimum qualification to challenge the superhuman level is a 5-star master. That is, you must make at least five perfect spirits..
but I was not discouraged.
Just by witnessing the state of a superman once again, the goal has already been achieved..
‘ok, i'd be happy.’
Sooner or later, I will subdue the remaining monarchs and once again challenge the status of a superman..
Afterwards, when I moved toward the end of the forty-five steps, not beyond the boundary of the realm, my stiff body moved again..
But there was one thing I forgot because I was so focused on confirming the status of a superman. It was the fact that Dillia was in the realm..
“ah.”
The moment I realized this belatedly.
Uhlan was already running into Dillia..
Of course, he was wearing magic armor, but even so, the impact of the collision was considerable..
Whiririk! cooooung!
The proof was that Dillia's magic armor, which collided with Ulan, rotated two and a half times in the air and then landed upside down on the ground..
“…….”
head buried deep in the ground.
Soon, a desolate silence enveloped the hall..
Professor Melt, the engineers of Hennes, and the students of Arsene Academy were at a loss for words at the sudden sight..
Even Ybela, who had been burning with jealousy from the moment Dillia embraced Ulan, had a blank expression at this moment..
“……he's not dead?”
Worried words that came out for the first time.
At the end of Ibella's words, the engineers belatedly shouted as if they had come to their senses..
“this is not the time!”
“Go find Cadet Dillia!”
some time after that.
Except for the fact that Dillia passed out, fortunately, her life was not threatened. It was thanks to the magic armor's safety device working in time..
Although the magic armor that absorbed the shock in place of her was completely destroyed, the engineers didn't really care.
“haha i'm really glad.”
“It's enough to fix the magic armor, but you can't fix a person if it's broken..”
Engineers breathe a sigh of relief.
Finally, after many twists and turns, the test finally came to an end..
